WORSHIP-STREET.

Yesterday a woman of the name of Jones was placed at
the bar before Messrs. CODD and GROVE, charged with hav-
ing assaulted Emma Chandler. The warrant was taken
out by the complainant at Hicks's Hall, where, before the
Grand Jury, she swore to the assault.
Mr. CODD, having the warrant, was under the neces-
sity to hold her to bail. The officer said that there were

several respectable friends of the defendant outside, who
were ready to become her ba;l.

UNIOLV-lIALL,

Yesterday, Trillbm Lodge, a young man, of respectable
appearance, was brought before Mr. JEREMY, charged with
stealing two bullocks, the property of Mr. Wilks, a farmer
and grazier near Sittingbourne. Tile prisoner was fully
committed for trial.

In consequence of the gross inq)ositions practised
towards English passengers on their landing at Boulogne-
sur-Mer, the Chamber of Commerce of that town has just
issued a series of regulations iu all instances rendering uni-

form, and in the mliority reducing, the terms and rates of
impost relative to the shipping and landing of passengers,
the use of the ladders, the carrying of luggage, and the
shipping end landing of carri'ges and horses. For the
landing of passsengors from packets at the jetty head the

pilots arc now allowed If. 50e., or only line-fourth the
previous charge, whilst nothing whatever is to he paid for
the use of ladders when the packet comes up to the quay,

and the same charges are made for carrying passengers to

the shipping. Nothing is to be paid -for ;mall articles,
such as canes, umbrellas, hat-boxes, &c., if they form part
of the ordinary luggage of a family or traveller, and the
charge of landing fur every other description of luggage is
considerably reduced. For landing or shipping a four-
wheeled carriage the price is reduced to P2f. ; for a two-
wheeled carriage 6f. ; for a horse 6f. ; and a mule 3f. The
above prices include all expenses from the hotel to the
pacht, and vice v,--rsr; ; and wilst the regulations impress
the minutest attention to travellers upon the people attend-
ing the ladders, and women employed in transporting the
luggage, they are strictly forbidden to demand anything
above the prices fixed, or to receive any gratuity.

MONKEY LOVE.-At the new building erected br
the monkies in the Jardin des Plants, a Paris paper says,
" The visitors are highly amused with the marks of affec-
tion shown by a loving couple to each other, and to a baby
ape, with which their union has been blessed. These dis-
plays arc particularly striking after a temporary separation
of the papa from his consort and child. On being re-ad-
mitted he embraces his companion, takes up the marmotte,
and bestows upon it a thousand caresses."
During the fair which was held at Connel-ferry,
about five miles from Oban, o❑ Friday last, the large boat

left the north side rather overloaded with passengers and
cattle. They had not proceeded far from the shore when
the boat heeled to one side, and threw all on board into
the sea. The utmost confusion prevailed for some time,
and the little boat being loaded with passengers, and no
other boat at hand, it was some time before th 3 small boat
could be ready to receive the sufferers. They at last suc-
ceeded in saving 'ten men and one woman. Two young
men of the names of M'Arthur and M'Pherson, natives of

Bendenloch, were drowned, and also three cows. The bo-
dies of the young men were found, one in the evening, and
the other next day.—Scotsman.
THE FIFTH OF N VENIB E R.—The Dublin Even-
ing Post comments with just severity on those clergymen
who have intimated their design of making this occasion
an excuse for discharging their bigotry and preaching a
crusade ,against their countrymen. Amongst other judi-
cious remarks, the following occur :—" The anniversary of
the Gunpowder Plot is approaching. It falls, as our
readers know, on Sunday next. We are not amongst those
who affect to entertain any doubts of the historical fact.
We believe that a desperate and diabolical attempt was
made in the year 1605, to blow up the King, Queen,
Princes, and both Houses of Parliament. We further
believe the conspirators would have succeeded but for the
sagacity of the King—the most curious compound of im•
becility, cunning, learning, and credulity that ever existed.
In short the Gunpowder Plot, in the beginning of James
the First's reign, is as true as the Popish Plot in the
reign of his grandson was false. This conspiracy, how-
ever, occurred two hundred and thirty-two years ago. It
stands, and will always stand, as a great, as a surprising
historical occurrence. It will always form one of the most
interesting chapters of English history. But we should
' let it rest in the tomes of the historian. We should not
disinter it from the pages of Hume or Lingard, any more
than we should any horrible instances of .human depravity
—as the feudal murder of James the' First's father—or the
public murder of his mother, by Queen Elizabeth. Above
all, its memory should not be revived—now nearly two
centuries and a half after its occurrence—with a view to
insult and outrage the present generation."
On Monday last, the operative masons of this town
struck for a rise of wages, and have published a handbill in
justification of their conduct. Their wages through the
summer were 40. per hour, and their employers intended
that this rate should be adhered to during the winter. The
men, however, demanded 4id. per hour, which not being
granted, a strike was the consequence. The rate of wages
offered is is. a week higher than their fellow workmen in
Glasgow receive.—Greenock Advertiser.
SUPERSTITION.—At the village of Aharan, near
Junalee, the child of a goldsmith being ill, was supposed to
be enchanted, and the parent haling resorted to the sup-
posed enchanter without avail, the child dying, threw the
man into the fire in which the child's body was being con-
sumed, and the unfortunate wretch was burnt alive. The
magistrates have arrested the parties, who arc to be tried
for murder.—Asiatic Journal.
Mr. Edward Swinder, farmer, near Langsett, had a
stirk which fell ill on Sunday week. It appeared singularly
affected, differing very much from the symptoms of any
disease observed amongst cattle. It continued to get worse
until Sunday evening, when it died. Mr. Swinder feeling
astonished at so sudden a circumstance, was led to have
the body opened, when he found in its windpipe a large
snake three feet long. The reptile had its head close to
the heart of the beast. It is conjectured that the snake
had sprung into the mouth of the stirk whilst grazing in
the pasture.—Sheffield Iris.
GROWING A LEG OF MUTTON.--The following
curious piece of information is extracted, verbatim ct lite-
;wain, from a very rare volume, which bears the title of the
" Loafman's Manual ; or, How to Make it Pay." "To
grow a legge of sheep, or a sholder of sheep.—Mayliap
there come to be baked mancy ledges or sholders of sheep,
large or small, take them and place them in a row accord-
ing to size ; take and huye a vere small legge or sholder,
and remove the one next in size, and place your legge
sholder in the pan, then take and place the second one in
the third pan, and so on, till sonic how, peradventure,
you find the last, which is likely to be the largest, without a
pan ; then take this largest legge or slinkier, and place it
in a pin ef your o:vn, and make your men not touch tl.ercof,
for it is your own mcic."

A PARLIAMENT IN DUBLIN.—In 1759, ac-
cording to Plowden, when the first rumours of an intended
union with Englund were propagated, the populace were in-
flamed to such a degree that " they assembled in a prodi-
gious multitude, broke into the House of Lords, insulted the
Peers, seated an old woman on the throne, and searched for
the journals, which, had they been found, would have been
committed to the flames. They compelled the Members ef
both Ilorr,as, whom they met in the streets, to t ke an
oaths that they would never consent to such an anion, or
give any vote contrary to the true interest of Irelarol. Di-
vers coaches belonging to obnoxious persons were destr ,yed
and the horses killed ; a gibbet was erode] for one gentle-
man in particular, who narrowly escaped the ungovernable
fury of the mob. A body of horse and infantry was drawn
out. The multitude, at night, d;spersed of itself.
In the days of " Bell Geordie," when it was the
fashion for our cis is dignitaries to wear gold cliains and
cocked hats,two of our Bailies, the one an extensive seeds-
man and nursery gardener, the other an eminent uphol-
sterer and Wright, happened to meet on their way to the
Council-clamber; and, while standing on the pavement in
mutual converse, a tall and handsome young lady came
gliding gently along. The decorous and sensitive city
functionaries, fascinated by the graceful mien and exterior
of the blooming fair one, instantly doffed their cocked
hats ; when she, slightly bowing to the worthy authorities
with one of her sweetest smiles, passed on. "My certie
said the gardener, as he gazed after her, " she is a stately
plant !" " Aye," quoth the upholsterer, replacing his offi-
cial hat on his sagacious p ate, " she is a noble piece of
furniture."—Glasgow Paper.
FOREIGN RAlLltonos.-The special land of the
" mountain and the flood" has felt the influence of the uni-
versal desire for rapid locomotien. The Chamber of Com-
merce at Zurich held a meeting on the 4th ult. respecting
the propriety of establishing a railway in Switzerland. It
was unanimously agreed that the main line must be one
leading from the Rhine to Italy, and that whatever matter
should be first undertaken should be a portion of this prin-
cipal thoroughfare of the nation. A meeting was sum-
moned, for the oad of the month, of deputies from all the
Cantons on the whole line, to consider the question. If
this undertaking be ever accomplished, the famous road
over the Simplon must hide its diminished head. Perhaps
a few years may see the herd of travellers taking their way
to Italy up the Rhine, and over or under St. Gothard. In
Austria it is expected that next month will witness the
opening of the railroad from Vienna to \Vagram, the scene
of Napoleon's victory in 1808. The steam-carriages are
already arrived, and some articles of particular splendour
have been prepared for the use of the Court, on occasion
of the opening. In Belgium, the works for the railroads
are carried on with the usual activity. The road from
Bruges to Ostend is expected to be ready by the Ist of
May, 183 S ; and that from Ghent to Bruges still earlier,
it is said in February. Eighteen locomotives arc alremly
in action on the Belgian railroads, and three more are daily
expected from Cockerill's works at Stetaing.---Raihvay
