UNION-HALL.

William James Daley, a tradesman, living in Coleman's-
place, Lambeth, was charged under Lord Ellenborough's
Act with cutting and wounding David Godfrey, a corn-
chandler, Lower Marsh, Lambeth.

The complainant stated that he was in his shop on Sa-
turday night, when the prisoner came in and pushed against
Mrs. Emanuel, who was there ; she went to her husband,
who had some angry words with the prisoner. He then
went away, but returned shortly with something in his hand,
over which he had a handkerchief; he swore " he would
do for some of them." The prosecutor asked who; when
he replied, " You," at the same time striking him a tre-
mendous blow on the head, which cut it dreadfully, and
another on the temple, which felled him to the ground; he
also struck the prosecutor's wife. The prisoner was taken
into custody, and the prosecutor was confined to his bed
until to-day, when he could, with difficulty, give his evi-
dence.

A surgeon stated that Mr. Godfrey had received two
serious and dangerous wounds, one of which bad divided a
branch of the temporal artery; although he did not appre-
hend immediate danger, yet there was no saying with cer-
tainty what their effects might be. The policemen and
other witnesses confirmed the prosecutor's account, and the
prisoner, who offered bail to any amount, was fully com-
mitted for trial on the capital charge, and bail refused.

We learn from the Western Times that Devonshire
desires to lay at the feet of her Majesty another loyal Ad-
dress, and that there is to be a county meeting for this pur-
pose. Our contemporary says that the malignant Tories
will attempt to move " a disloyal amendment." But it is
believed that they will be awed into silence, as they were
at Exeter, by an overwhelming majority of Reformers.
A kind gentlemanlike note from Mr. Liston,
the ex- Monarch of Comedy, to Mr. Webster of the Hay-
market, sent on Friday, sets at rest (and to the inexpressi-
ble sorrow of myriads) the question of Mr. Liston ever
again appearing (professionally) in public; for in that
note he emphatically says—" As I shall have no further
occasion for them, you will be pleased to accept from an
old brother actor any six wigs you may think proper to
select from my stock, in the possession of Mr. Willson,
277, Strand."

Many of the inhabitants of this city are signing
a requisition to the Bath Postmaster, requesting him not
to desecrate the Sabbath by sending their letters to them
on a Sunday.—Bath Chronicle. [We are only astonished,
after the repeated complaints that have been made, that
Lord Lichfield does not dismiss the Postmasters of Bath
and Derby. What a desecration of the Sabbath to dis-
turb the devotion of any of the inhabitants by informing
them that some dear friend was on the point of death, and
anxious to see their relatives before they quit this earthly
scene.]
WILL OF CARDINAL FESCH.—A letter from
Rome, published in the Reparateur of Lyons, contains the
following details of the last wishes of Cardinal Fesch :
" The ex-King Joseph is his hereditary legatee ; his
major-domo, who has never quitted him since 1801, is his
executor. He leaves a great number of legacies to his
family ; to his native place, Ajaccio, a considerable sum to
build a church, and found a seminary. Lyons is not for-
gotten. Part of his rich and precious gallery of pictures
is devoted to furnish the necessary sums for the legacies ;
a second part is to be sold in favour of his nephews, and a
third to provide for the education of the children of his
nephews who bear the name of Bonaparte, and who are
not rich. The Cardinal, before he died, ordered that no
other honours should be rendered him than those indis-
pensable to his rank of Cardinal and Archbishop. After
the ceremony the body will be transported to Corveto, and
buried by the side of Madame Letitia."
MURDER AT YEOVIL.—About a fortnight
since we stated the death of Mr. S. V. Gregory, vete-
rinary surgeon, of Yeovil, whose body was found lying on
the turnpike-road between Sherborne and that town. On
Thursday week, after three adjournments of the inquest
on the body, there being some mysterious circumstances
connected with the death ; the Jury again assembled the
fourth time, and, after deliberately considering the whole
of the evidence which had been adduced, unanimously
returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some per-
son or persons unknown." It appears that the deceased
had on the same day he met with his death (Friday)
received the amount of two or three bills at Yeovil
Market, and had purchased half a pound of tea, which he
requested to be tied up in quarter pounds, for the purpose
of carrying one in each pocket, but the tea and the money,
with the exception of a few halfpence, were missing from
his person when the body was picked up.—Taunton
Courier.

The rumour which we noticed a few days ago, of
a fatal accident having taken place at Naples, on the 29th
April last, to John Andrew M'Douall, Esq., second son of
the late Andrew M'Douall, Esq., of Logan, has been con-
firmed. Mr. M'Douall was riding pretty sharply through
the streets of that town, in company with a friend, when a
woman becoming alarmed at their approach, ran directly
in the way of his horse, which fell, and the unfortunate
gentleman was thrown upon the ground, falling with great
violence on his head, lie was picked up insensible, and
remained in that state for forty-eight hours, when death
terminated his sufferings. Deceased was in his 34th year,
and has left one son, who is now heir-presumptive to one
of the oldest families in Scotland, the representatives of
the ancient Princes of Galloway.
Thursday afternoon, about three o'clock, a young
man in the service of Mr. J. Mason, butcher, Blackmoor-
street, Drury lane, was standing near a sky-light which is
over a staircase, and by some accident fell through to the
bottom, a height ®f three stories, dashing against the
stairs, &c., in his course. At the instant it was thought
he must inevitably have been killed on the spot, but to the
surprise of all, on the prompt arrival of Mr. Walker, sur-
geon, of Drury-lane, that gentleman declared that not a
hone was:; broken. The injuries were of the most trifliog
nature.
