MAR YLEB ONE.

THE LOVES OF THE DWARFS.—On Tuesday 2lirs-
Johanna Wonicott, a Lilliputian lady from the sister coml.
try, appeared before the bench to make a complaint agains
her father-in-law, Mr. William Wonicott, tailor of Grea
Portland-straet. The fair complainant, who wore a smart
black silk dress and sky-blue bonnet, very attractively
:domed with ribands, was accompanied by her husband,
it tiny knight of the thimble and slicers, so curtailed of his
I''air proportions that he scarcely reached the ninth part of
la man.
ItawLiNsoN (to the complainant)--What is the
!cause of your disagreement ? Complainant (covering
her face with a lily white handkerchiet)—Och, I'm ashamed
.a .
to =wn it among so many grave gentlemen.
But we must know.
Its sich a delicate and tender subject.

Never mind, go on.
Och then so 1 will ; its all about love. Love, Sir, has 2
been the cause of all this mischief. This little gentleman
(pointing to her husband) is married to me.
Well, what of that ?—Plenty of that, as you shall hear, t,
Sir. This little gentleman, Sir, is the defendant's son, and '
,jives with his father. Well, you must know that I came to
!ive under the same roof, about six months ago, when the
lyoung gentleman was smitten by ate.
Smitten by you! Smitten with you, I suppose you
mean ?—Yes, Sir, he fell desperately in love ; completely
up to his ears.
IHe was not very deep in love then if re are to judge;;
Ift-cull his height.
Well, Sir, so it was, be popped the question, I could not
=ay nay, and we were duly and legally united in holy wed-
pock about four months since, in St. Martin's church. We
have continued to live in the house ever since as innocent
and as happy as a pair of doves, never contented asunder
and it is this, Sir, that has roused so much wrath in the
breast of my father-in-law, who appears not to be suscepti-
ble of one tender emotion. He complains of business be-
inr, neglected by his son ; that he prefers the tender suit
of love to the suits of his customers. In short, Sir, he tole
me on Sunday that he would have no more billing anc
cooing in his house, and actually took hold of me by thi
,shoulders to push me out of the place. I caught hold of
the fril of his shirt in my alarm ; he accused me of tearing
it. I did not tear it, but merely held meself up by it when
he pushed me down.
Is this the assault you complain of?—Yes, your Weir-
' ship. He says he'll have me out of the house, but I won't
go unless my dear darling Anthony, who loves me to dis-
, traction, goes with me.
How old is Anthony ?—Just nineteen and a half last
April-fool's day.
Did you obtain the consent of your husband's father to
the match ?—No, sir.
• Whose fault was that ?—My husband's. He was toe
,deep in lore to ask any consent but mine.
• But you are older than he is, and ought to have tau,*
"him better. •
„1 It is true. sir, I have a little the advantage of him
it
4, years (she appeared about :30), but we matched so exactly
-in size, and ether respects, that I thought we could not do
`tbetter than to get married.
• The case was dismissed, and the Lilliputian couple let
the office sighing, and looking unutterable things.

UNION-HALL.
Charles Crowarne, a middle-aged man, was brought be
fore Mr. JEREMY, charged with obstructing -a public
thoroughfare, by preaching in the streets.
Mr. JEREMY told the defendant that lie could not be
'permitted to attract crowds of people, and that it was at
inexcusable offence occasioning an obstruction in any public
thoroughfare.
The defendant was only following the direction d his
Heavenly King in expounding the Scriptures, and no earthly
power 'should prevent him from the performance of so sacred
a duty. He went on in a strain of invective against
Bishops and Magistrates until he was removed, upon whicl
another man stepped forward to become the defendant':
surety, and this person said that he was also a preacher:
and he made a strong effort to in a belief that his friend
was locked up had not committed an offence to subjec
him to such a punishment.
The Magistrates said that they were not at all desirou•
of inflicting any severity upon the defendant if he only
undertook not to cause obstructions in the streets.
The defendant's friend finding that he still determined on
preaching in the streets, refused to become his bail, and tit(
former was still kept in custody.

NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF " TIIE
PILOT," ENGLAND WITH SKETCHES OF SOCIETY IN THE ME-
TROPOLIS. —Mr. Cooper stands deservedly high as a novelist
but not content with the laurels already won, he comes forward
now as a critic on the manners of the very persons with whom,
during his sojourn in England, he frequently mingled iti it
habits of social intercourse. We mean not to charge hin
comprised
with
with ungracious personalities, though we must say that h,
has dealt pretty freely with his friends. The society to
which be had the good fortune to be introduced,
dividuals eminent in politics, nd in literature: Through the
feiendship of Mr. Rogers, the poet, Mr. Cooper had frequent
opportunities of meeting Lord Grey, Lord Holland, Lord
John Russell, Sir James Mackintosh, the then Bishop of
London, Dr. Howley, Mr. Spring Rice, Lord Brougham, Sir
James Scarlett, and others. Sir Walter Scott was occasion-A
-ally one of these select parties. Mr. Cooper's present work;
is of a higher order than any of his previous productions, andi,
'-will, no doubt make a great sensation in this country as well.
