HA7'TON-GARDEN.

Little Sam Waddington, the bill-sticker, who made
himself notoriously foolish during the Spa-fields Radical
demonstration, and has lately displayed his desire for
foolish notoriety with the Chartists, applied to Mr. Hall,
asking iris Worship to accept a scat in the waggon, at the
Chartist meeting at Clerken well-green, on Monday evening
next, and also that the Magistrate would send some of the
officers of the establishment to assist in keeping the peace,
should the police attempt to break it. Waddington in-
formed the Bench that he had to second a motion, calling
upon the Queen to order the House of Commons to take
into its consideration the People's Charter. All the people
wanted was peace, and the quiet attainment of their rights.
Mr. Hall declined the seat in the waggon, and stated that
he- had nb doubt that the peace would be preserved. Wad-
dington left the office, thanking the Magistrate for his
politeness.

LAMBETH- STREET.
Solomon Hart, a very powerful Jew, was charged with
assaulting one of the police,—A sergeant of the police said
that, in consequence of the production of the piece called the
Gold Dust Robbery, at the Garrick Theatre, the Jews had
expressed some annoyance, and he and two men were placed
there to keep the peace. Some observations were made
which did not please the defendant, when he put his fist in
the officer's face and swore he would knock him down ; upon
which he was taken into custody. The defendant said he
dd not touch the complainant until he pushed him off the
pavement, and told hint to go on.—The Magistrate fined
him U. which he prayed he might have until Monday to
pay, as it hurt his conscience to touch money on the Sab-
bath ; but finding that he was about to be locked up, he
violated his conscience and paid the money.

THE SHROPSHIRE MlDASES.—Compliment.
ing the Government on the appointment of the Duke of
Sutherland to the office of Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire,
the Shrewsbury News of last Saturday writes as follows:
" But if on general public grounds the appointment of the
Duke of Sutherland is praiseworthy, how much more so
does it become, when the nature of that appointment in all
its local bearings is duly considered. The composition of
the Salop magistracy is notoriously and disgracefully one-
sided, In their selection no regaxd whatever has been paid
to their fitness for office, to the wishes of the community
amongst whom they ostensibly dispense justice, or, in
short, to any one consideration of propriety. The only
question has been as to the virulence of their Toryism ;
and in proportion to their zeal as political partisans have
they been deemed qualified for the commission of the
peace. This state of things we trust his Grace will im-
mediately set abOut reforming, by the appointment of such
a number of Liberals as will establish something like an
equality on the bench. In no county in England is magi-
storial refot In more needed than in Sa!op, with perhaps the
exception of Montgomeryshire, where a thorough cleaning
out of the Torificd Mic.oses has long been amongst the
most crying wants of a most moat tyrannized and ill-used
population.—Stafford Examiner.
On the 7th inst. the railroad running from
Vienna to Brunn, in Moravia, was opened with great
pomp. Thirty-six vehicles had been placed at the disposal
of the travellers who entered them, to the number of 900.
Above 20,000 persons had assembled to witness their
departure. The three first trains reached Brunn in f:ur
hours; the last in four hours end a halt. An immense
concourse assembled on the walls and heights enthusiasti-
cally cheered the trains as they successively arrived. The
troops were under arms, and the municipal authorities had
prepared a splendid banquet. After attending it, the
Governor, Count Ugarte, proceeded in the first train as
far as Kagonitz, which is four miles from Brunn. At this
place, where the train stopped to take in water, a deplo
rable accident took place. Tl.e engineer of the third
train bad neglected to discharge his steam in the vicinity
of the station were the two first trains he.d stopped. The
consequence was that his locomotive was driven against
the waggons before it with so much violence that two of
them were crushed to atoms, and their living contents
buried under the fragments. Nine travellers were severely
wounded, four having their legs broken. The engineer
was immediately apprehended. The people of Vienna
long awaited the return of the trains, which came in but
towards midnight. When the accident became known,
the Austrian capital was thrown into universal consternation.
ALLEGED INSULT TO THE QUEEN.—The in-
dividual who is accused of having offered an insult to her
Majesty in Hyde-park on the 17th instant, has forwarded
a copy of a letter, which he states he has addressed to the
Queen, denying in tile most positive and solemn terms
having been guilty of the offence imputed. The writer,
after some introductory remarks says, " I had advanced
before your most Gracious Majesty, and did not discover
the fact until apprised by one of the grooms (James Light),
who acts das one of the outriders. On his announcement
that the Queen was behind, my utmost efforts were used to
keep at a respectful distance ; my horse was unruly, and
but for the indecent conduct of James Light, I should
have succeeded effectually in removing myself. He rode
furiously up to me, and lock hold of my horse's reins, and
did all in his power to unhorse me, without the slightest
provocation ; but for this, I should have vanished from
your Majesty's presence before any thing unpleasant could
have occurred."
BANNISTER IN TRAGEDY.—Bannister began
his own stage career in tragedy, and played the hero in
Voltaire's 217ahorriet. Garrick, who had trained him to
the part, met him the next day, after he had acquired some
applauses in Mahomet, and asked him, with his usual
abundance of gesture and " Eh, ells," what character he
wished to play next. " Why," said Bannister, " I was
thinking of Oroonoko."—" Eh," said David, staring at
Bannister, who was at that time very thin, " you will look
as much like Oroonoko as a chimney-sweeper in a consump-
tion." Bannister told me that, at these words of Garrick,
his knees slackened, and he had almost sunk down on the
pavement. At another interview; he ventured to tell the
English Roscius that he had some thoughts of attempting
comedy. " Eh, eh ?" said Garrick, " why no, don't
think of that, you may humbug the town for some time
longer as a tragedian ; but comedy is a serious thing, sq
don't try it yet." Bannister, however, attempted comedy;
and bis Don Whiskerandos (as he himself says) laughed
his tragedy out of fashion.—Campbell's Life of Mrs.
Siddons.
Three persons from Oswestry, in a gig, returning
from Llanfyllin, were in imminent danger of being preci.
pitated over the Vcrniew Old Bridge, near Llanymynech,
on Thursday last. The driver, a " Star" of the first mag.
nitude, had previously said " he would drive himself and
companions to hell 1" To accomplish this purpose, he
drove at a furious rate to the end of the bridge, came in
contact with some impediment, upset the gig and poor
horse, broke the gig and spoiled the harness, and washire.

MRS. BISHOP AND MR. BOCHSA.

Subjoined are the " extracts" alluded to in The Sun
of Friday evening; they are from the letter addressed
to Mrs. Bishop by her father, and were published in the
Times on Friday by her husband :

" July 8, 1839.
"My dear Anne,—if God permits you to live till next
January 9, you will then have completed 30 years of your
life. To-morrow is your wedding day, which used for
some years to be a day of joy. Alas, what is it now ?. A
dismal sorrowful remembrance of past happiness, and a
fearful promise of happiness never to be regained in this
life, except you stop at the edge of the precipice, and
kneel to Almighty God, and implore his mercy to save
you from destruction.

" Will you read this, or not? Will you listen to a
too fond and affectionate father ? Will you remember
your poor afflicted mother, your good intentioned and
affectionate brothers, and . . . ' You are
about to destroy all—all of us, by your obstinate, blind,
and remorseless conduct. Fear God, and tremble for the
consequences.
" You have affected to despise public opinion; but, re-
member, the better part of society are your judges. You
have already been severely scandalized, and (I hope and
believe) unjustly ; but happily for us, in this still consistent
country, character is the bulwark of female virtue. Do
not despise it, remain firm to the dictates of the respectable
part of the world, and do not wonder that you have not
received visits to congratulate you upon your late exhibi-
tion of splendid talent.
" Why, the character of the man is so bad, that he even
confesses he is shunned by his own sex. Ile has bullied
me in your presence, and you, I verily believe, thought him
justified.

" Will you listen before it is too late? It is still in your
power to retrieve or retrace your steps. Once give this a
power over you, which unhappily he has had over your
mind, and then . . . After that he will cast you off,
and ill-health, or a stricken conscience will make you
recollect what you were. Repentance, too late, scouted
by all the world, and reduced to a state of poverty and
misery, far worse than all the words I could invent to des-
cribe.

" Your dear Louisa and Robert, whose letters I for-
ward to you, your respected sister Fanny, your honoured
and well-conducted brothers—all, all are bitterly anxious
about you. And then your poor children; and last, not
least, your poor unfortunate husband—for God's sake sub-
mit to him ; you cannot have a shadow of excuse for your
conduct; in all respects it has been grossly imprudent,
and carries with it every appearance of criminality, although
I firmly believe that has not transpired. Reflect before it
is to late, and pray God does not abandon you to the vic-
tim . . . ; remember you cannot, if you visit, or per-
mit his attentions to you, you are lost for ever.

" From your afflicted and despised father, but stil
Paithful and affectionate

"D. V. RIVIERE."

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS

The reports relative to the—crops that have reached town
to- day, from the country, are generally unfavourable. The
provincial papers state that the wet and tempestuous weal..
ther has done much mischief in several partsof the kingdortt...
Tlie grass which has been cut and not carried away, has
suffered severely. Wheat, barley, oats, &c., have been
laid extensively, and apprehensions are expressed of the
result, if settled weather shouli not soon supervene.
An extract or two from some of the reports referred to
are sufficient indices of the character of the accounts in
general :

The extremely unsettled state of the weather during
the past week, is fast damaging the produce of the mea
dows ; many fields in the neighbourhood of Sutton-in-
Ashfield, that were nearly ready for the stack a week ago,
being now materially injured.—/Vottingham Review.
The late ungenial weather has greatly retarded the hay
harvest in the neighbourhood of Chesterfield. There are
large lots of grass down, and also a great deal ready to
cut.—Doncaster Gazette.

The heavy rains which have lately prevailed, and are
still prevailing, have done considerable damage to the hay
crops'in this (Bath) as well as in most other districts.
Much of what has been saved has been carried in bad con-
dition. We beg to recal to the attention of our agricultu-
ral readers the great efficacy, under present circumstances.
of salting the stacks. The corn has hitherto sustained no
damage worth speaking of, but the small prospect now
before us of an improvement in the weather has begun to
excite serious apprehensions on this iJubject.—Bath Chro-
nicle.

We have had some heavy rain in the vicinity of Dublin
during the last two days, with intervals of strong sun, but
the appearance of the crops does not indicate as yet any
mischief having been done. At Newry on Tuesday after.
noon the rain fell in torrents for upwards of four hours.
The town was absolutely deluged. About seven o'clock
in the evening, however, the rain ceased; and it continued
fair during the night. Yesterday forenoon it again rained
heavily for a short time; and there is every appearance
of a continuance of wet weather.--. Dublin Evening Post
of Thursday.
France, too, appears to have been but little favoured
with fine weather. The Armoricain of Brest, of the 20th
inst. states that one of the most violent storms ever known
in Brittany at this season of the year, had been raging on
the west coast for two days.
