HATTOiV-GARDEN.

An old maid, named Harriet Wilson, was charged with
assaulting Mrs. Cartwright, an elderly female, under the
following very peculiar circumstances :—The complainant
and defendant are neighbours ; and, in consequence of
Miss Wilson being frequently visited by a Methodist
Parson, it was rumoured that he was not teaching her to
tread in the paths of virtue ; and whenever the prosecutrix
went out, she was sure to be assailed by cries of, " Who
kissed the Parson !" Mrs. Cartwright had, in particular
made herself conspicuous in these annoyances ; and to be
revenged, the defendant, on Thursday last, spat in her face,
which ►+as the assault complained of.
Mr. LAING asked the defendant what she had to say to
the charge ? Miss Wilson—Oh, horrible Sir,—it's vile
slander !

Mr. LAING—Why did you so grossly assault the com-
plainant ? Miss Wilson—A Minister of the Gospel, Sir,
has been in the habit of coming to see me, and sometimes
I invited my intimate religious acquaintances to join us in
our " Love-feasts."

A witness—Yes, I saw you kissing him. Such " Lore-
feasts" are pleasant !

- Miss WA:ion—You shocking creature, hold your tongue.
The Magistrates said that all they had to do was, to
ascertain if an assault bad been committed, and they did
not want to hear the explanation of " Love feasts."

Miss Wilson being then required to produce her wit-
❑esses, called two females, but neither of them would
swear that the defendant did not commit herself in the dis-
gusting manner for which the complainant had brought her
before the Magistrates.

Mr. LAING-having consulted with his colleague, stated
they were of opinion that a fine of a shilling, and the pay-
ment of costs, would be a sufficient punishment.
Defendant—l shall not pay it ; you may send ran to gaol
where my friend the parson will visit me,
Mr. IL...mu—Then you'll go to prison for seven days.
Defendant—Stay, stay ; I think it had better be paid (to
a otrait haired, milk-and-water-looking personage) ; go and
fetch the money, Jonathan, love,
Jonathan walked out of the office, and until his return
his" Inve" was placed in durance vile.

rous anecdotes of his distinguished contemporaries, are to

task, and all a9r and private polleptiops live been

and authenticity may be confidently expected.

THE WORKING CLASSES.—At the meeting of
the British Association at Liverpool on Thursday week,
Mr. Ashworth, of Bolton, read a paper on the statistical
results of the late strike at Preston. From this it appeared
that in Preston and the vicinity there arc 42 cotton mills,
giving employment to 8,500 hands, and requiring 1,200
horse-power to work them. The estimated value of the
machinery is 550,0001., and tho amount of capital required
to work them 250,0001. The beginning of the year 1836
was marked by great activity in the cotton trade ; the mas-
ter spinners were supposed to be making considerable
profits, whilst the operative spinners, with some appear-
ance of truth, supposed that their wages were not com-
mensurate with these profits. A strike ensued, and
8,500 persons were thrown out of employment. The report
then detailed the straits of misery to which they were re-
duced, until at length they returned to work. Amongst
the consequences of the turu.cut the following facts were
mentioned :-150 persons were taken before the magis-
trates charged with drunkenness and disorderly conduct
75 were committed for assaults and intimidation of work-
men ; twenty young female: became prostitutes ; throe
died of starvation I whilst 5,000 at least must have suffered
esdreme privations. The total loss fQ tho community Wd3
estimated at 107,2064

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, SEPT. 23.
The week's import is 10,415 bales. The stock previously Was
29.9,105. The sales this week are 26,600 ; of which 2,400 are °.°
speculation, and 2,750 for export, leaving a stock of cotton nowy
port of 284,820, hich is 50,320 bales more than at the same period
last year; the stock of American being 10,240 bales more than at
the same period last year. Though there has been a very fair
_
amount of business done this week in Cotton, yet, throughout, the
market has appeared quiet. On Tuesday, from the disastrous ae;
counts received from Bombay, purchasers were induced to opera'
more freely, particularly in East India descriptions, and a very lalf,
business was done, but the market having since then been kept u
supplied, and holders appearing more anxious to make sales, nu auh
vance has taken place, prices of all descriptions being very In ue.,
the same as last quoted, though in some instances sales have been
made in Surat at an advance of 1/Bd. per lb. on last week's quota-
tions. The particulars of speculation this week are 1,400 American:
and 1,000 Surats; and of export, 1,100 American, 450 Pernato?,
600 llaranhams, and 600 Surats. Yesterday we had a very fair
attendance of the trade, but they have purchased only sparingly' andf
the market closes quiet, the tendency of prices being in favour °
the buyers.

Vicar of Wrexhill (Mr. Cartwright) is another Tartutlef
or Doctor Cantwell, with this difference, that Mrs. TrolloP:
makes her " Divinity" a more consummate hypocrite Oils
either of these worthies. Her object—a laudable 01'°'
every one must admit, has been to show the pernici°us
1.,
effects of Sectarian bigotry, of that uncharitable and unb°,7l
misanthropy which has too frequently subverted reason, 9°,
set parents against children, to the utter destruction of thou
kindly feelings which form the best bonds of peace and b6b
