MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

AN ExACTING COMPLAINANT.-A SAD APPAIR.—
James Quinlivan, of 102, High-street, Camden-town, having
the appearance of a mechanic, was charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt with assaulting Mr. George Foot, of 66, Great
Portland-street.. eating-house keeper.

The complainant said the defendant entered his house
that morning about 1 o'clock, and called for some refresh-
ments, which were served him, and on his (complainant)
asking for the money, the defendant struck him on the
head, but did Rot hurt him. He then called a constable,
and gave him into custody.
Sergeant Franklin said that the man was labouring
under excitement at the time, in consequence of his wife
having died suddenly that evening.
It appears that the wife of the defendant was employed
at the London Crystal Palace, and that on leaving her
home in the evening to go to her employ, she arranged
with her husband (the defendant) to meet her at the build-
ing, and in about 15 minutes after she had parted with him
she was brought dead.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said complainant and defendant had better
see whether they could not settle the matter, and after a
few minutes it was stated that the complainant had de-
manded 10s., and that defendant had paid it.

A slip of land for a distance of about 65 yards on
the Corniche road, along the coast between Turbia and
Menton°, lately took place from the ground becoming
loosened by the heavy rains. The passage of carriages
along the road was interrupted for four days.
A CLOUD OF LOCUSTS.—A letter from Gaudiole
(Senegal) states that an immense cloud of locusts
passed over that place on the evening of the 21st Dec. So
great was their number that, as the cloud approached, the
sky was quite darkened, and every one at first thought a
thunderstorm was coming on. The whirring noise of their
wings, however, soon made every one aware of what it
really was, and preparations were hastily made to prevent
them from alighting on the crops, but with only partial
success, for millions of them fell apparently from fatigue,
and five minutes afterwards scarcely any trace of vegetation
remained on the spots they covered. These locusts also
committed great ravages near St. Louis. It is supposed
they came from the upper valley of the Senegal, whence
they were driven by the grass in the meadows having been
set on fire,

THE WEATHER ON THE CONTINENT.—A letter
from Rodez (Aveyron) says:--" We are surrounded
by snow on all sides. On the roads from this place to Milieu
and to Sr. Affrique it lies to a depth of 18 inches. The mails
are constantly delayed; that from St. Affrique, in parti-
cular, is every day more than 12 hours behind time. During
the day the temperature is mild, but in the night the ther-
mometer falls below zero, and the snow freezes. All the
roads are becoming impracticable." While Paris has this
winter seen but a few flakes of snow, it appears from the
Turin journals that the streets of that capital have ben for
some days nearly blocked up by snow, and that a sufficient
number of carts could hardly be found to clear it away.
RUSSIAN OBJECTIONS TO THE DUKE OF SAXE-
COBURG-GOTHA. —The Temps '.f Saturday says :
"Russia regards the Duke of Coburg as allied to the royal
family of England in the degree prohibited by the proto-
cols ; and she hap expressed herself in this case ; not, how-
ever, in the form of official protest, which would have been
premature, since the candidature itself has not yet any
official existence. Moreover, it is affirmed that Austria also
offers objections. We do not believe that these difficulties
are unwelcome to the Duke of Coburg, who cannot be
anxious to quit Germany, to which he is attached by pa-
triotism, and perhaps also by a very legitimate ambition.
He has not yet refused, because it is difficult for him to re-
sist the Queen of England, who has made urgent requests
to him; but he has attached to his eventual assent condi-
tions which render it unacceptable. Under these conditions,
if he were to accept the Crown of Greece, he would at the
same time remain Duke of Coburg; this being contrary
to the fundamental law of the Pitchy, which expressly re-
quires the residence of the Sovereign."
A NEW Dism—During the celebration of his
annual dinner in the Cafe Royal, Edinburgh, on
Saturday last, Mr. J. Turner, printer, Lothian-road, intro-
duced a novel dish. As the dinner wis drawing to a con-
clusion, two waiters brought into the room a very large-
sized pie,
opurie, handsomelyreaders ornamented with a crimson cloth, and
placed it in front of the chairman. As all had dined and
think
tehnjoyed a very sumptuous repast, it was amusing to note
wheofahcaeds of tome of these present, especially the juveniles,
alreAdy fared so well on the good things provided.
