MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE TENDER PASSION.—A stunted, blear-eyed, nose-
less Irish tailor, by name Jerry Meddicks, in piteous
accents, brgged for a warrant against one" Betty Bur-
ton," who had, as he declared in a strong Munster
brogue, " bate an murthered an tuk array his kracter
wid the back of a mahogany chair." The warrant was
granted, and Betty Burton made her appearance in the
custody of Clements, the Gfficer, with a bow:cing baby
in her arms, and the marks of a recent affray on her face.
" Now l'il get justice," said the noseless tailor, " and
I'll swear a felony to her ! Spake now Betty, in the
prisitice—didn't you stale me blanket and pawn it to
get a drink wid ?"

" What is it you charge the woman with ?" said the
Magistrate ; " you brought her here on an assault
warrant ?"

" I want to git justice," said the tailor : "she won't
lave me night nor day, by which manes she force
her company into my company, and she breaks in me
room jlure every night, and makes me cohabit wid her."

" Oh, you old villain !" roared Betty,
father of this poor orphin chid ?"
" Why," said Mr. CONANT, comparing the papa wit
his progeny, " there certainly is no likeness between
them."

" ain't you the

The tailor, who, even with the addition of any kind of
nose, would have been one of the ugliest of mortals,
shook his head sorrowfully and said—
"lt is not a bit of me or of me family. But, your
\Virtchip, she will lay it on me, by which manes I don't
belave her."

Mr. COANT—But do you mean to tell me you
could not keep the woman out of your room if you
chose ?

Tailor—B3 nib oath no ; bekase I'm only a wake
ould pinsioner, and not able to contend wicl her by no
manes. She bursts aff the lock ov me dure, and comes
into me bed against me will.

Betty—You hasn't got a bed, you've only a blanket
to roll yourself in. And when you're on your back
on the floor don't I put your pipe in your mouth and
hold it that you may take a smoke comfortable ?
Tailor—And hasn't I done as much wid you, anil
is that a rason why you should be ether breaking me
bead ?

Betty—You began first with the poker.
Tailor—You knocked me down wid the chair back,
and then I tuk me own part wid the poker.
" If you cannot keep the peace together," said the
'Magistrate, "why do you come near each other?"
Tailor—She won't let me part. She forces me to
live wid her, for she says she doats on me company, and
she couldn't love any Oder man but me.

Mr. CONANT, having heard both sides at some length,
became of opinion the parties were equally in fault, and
accordingly dismissed the case.

The tailor went out in a passion, saying, " If this is
all the justis I'm to get I'll be off to Lord John Rus-
sell, and if he don't give me justis I'll spake to Dan
O'Connell, and he'll do me business."

In about an hour the tailor returned, and, addrcs
sing Mr. Conant, said, " I've a clear case, your
\\Tirtchip ; she's committed felony since I've been to
the office."
What has the woman done ?" said Mr. CONANT.

" She's tuk me goose," replied the tailor, " and
pawned it fora quartern ; so now I hope I'll get justice,
and you'll grant me a warrant."

Mr. CONANT—The whole business is quite nonsen-
sical. You first complain the woman will force you to
live with her, and then you bring forward these trumpery
charges to get rid of her. If you want to prosecute
you may go and indict at the sessions.

The too-attractive tailor then went away, declaring
he'd get a padlock to his room door, and thus keep out
the future visits of the enamoured Betty Burton.

Q UEEN SQUARE.

ROBBERY AT THE ITALIAN OPERA HOUSE.—Leo-
pold Mercier, a young Frenchman of fashionable ap-
pearance, was brought up for re-examination, charged
with stealing a Geneva gold watch and appendages, the
property of Arthur Mainwaring, Esq., a Captain in the
68th Regiment (Light Infantry).
The account he gave of himself and his acquaintances
in this country has proved very unsatisfactory. The
accused appeared much agitated. He frequently asse-
verated his innocence, and exclaimed, with tears in his
eyes, " Mon Dieu, mon Dieu !"
Mr. WHITE observed that the French Consul or
Ambassador might assist the prisoner in procuring his
character. People should not travel in a foreign coun-
try without friends or letters of credit. The money
(14/. found upon him) was ordered to be restored.
The whole of the evidence having been gone through,
the prisoner was fully committed to Newgate for trial,
and left the bar in a state of extreme agitation.

NOVEL MODE OF POACIIING.—A gentleman
from Dundee, now resident in Edinburgh, related very
lately the following anecdote :—Devotion to old Izaac's
" gentle art," induces him to make many excursions in
summer and autumn, and there are few better acquainted
with the lakes, aad rivers, glens, and strains, of broad
Scotland. During one of these rambles to the far north, he
beard of a shepherd who had hit upon an ingenious way of
procuring game, without either taking out the licence, or
subjecting himself to prosecution as an intruder on the do-
mains of others. With this man he became acquainted,
fiom his own lips learnt the truth of a story, which in the
first instance excited incredulity. The shepherd had be-
come aware, from personal observation, that an eyrie ex-
isted within his own beat, and being, like most of his
brethren, averse to the extension of the race, he embri.ced
what he deemed a fitting opportunity, and made prepara-
tions for harrying the nest. With some assistance in the
way of rope-steadying, he descended the cliffs, and, though
not without considerable risk, succeeded in capturing two
splendid eaglets while the parent birds were absent. This
feat accomplished, he removed the feathered prisoners to
the scene of his daily avocations, and there, by means of
stakes and cord, tethered them for some time on a verdant
knoll at no great distance from the cliffs he visited. When
the eagles returned and found the nest empty, their feel-
ings were roused to the highest pitch, and barking loudly,
much as a dog does, they flew about everywhere in search
of the lest ones ; this call was so often repeated that it was
at length answered, and paved the way to recognition alike
curious and grateful upon both sides. Upon this result, it
appears, the shepherd had reckoned, and as his sheeting
was situated two miles farther down the glen, he removed
the stakes, cords, and birds, to within a short distance of
his own door—a change that soon became apparent to the
parent eagles, who continued to hunt and carry for their
young as before. Their diligence, in fact, was very re-
markable, and by it the shepherd and his family profited.
Moor-fowl, hares, and rabbits, were brought in abundance,
and in allowing the eaglets a fair share, the shepherd fared
sumptuously every day by approp:iating the remainder to
his own uses ; nor would it have been easy to prove, in a
court of justice, that the spoil thus acquired was unlawfully
come by.—Dumfries Courier.

APRIL WEATHER.—Spring-time, we regret to
say, has again been protracted by another week of weather
more rigorous than anything we experienced in December.
April, in the olden time, used to be characterised as pecu-
liarly the season of singing-birds and flowers; but in place
of these welcome harbingers of solar heat and reviving ve-
getation, we find the hills thickly capped with snow, water-
ways frozen lower down, and icicles of the size and thi,.k.
ness of spears depending from cottage eaves and other roofs.
More bitter days than blew last week t,w can recal, even
in what are called the depths of winter, and hundreds, or
rather thousands, are suffering in consequence. Invalids
and persons otherwise delicate, aro afraid to venture abroad
(luring such unseasonable weather, and care is required on
the part of the most robust to eschew colds, followed, or
rather accompanied by bilious attacks.—Dun fries Courier.
ACCSDENT TO A LADY IN HYDE PARK.—
On Monday afternoon an accident which, it is feared, will
be attended with fatal results, occurred to Miss E. Blair,
daughter of the late Captain Blair, and residing at 39,
Welbeek-street, Cavendish-square, while taking equestrian
exercise in Hyde Park. It appears that the unfortunate
lady had gone, together with an elder sister, and accom-
panied by the groom, to ride in the Park : and about half.
past four o'clock Miss E. Blair, who was considered an ex.
perienced horsewoman, separated from her sister and the
groom, and rode in advance down the Kensington drive.
Upon arriving opposite Apsley House the horse suddenly
reared, and the rider, having let go the reins, was thrown,
and pitched with great violence on her head against one of
the curb-stones. She was picked up in insensible state,
and bleeding from her mouth, ears, and the left side of the
head, and carried to St. George's Hospital, where instant
attendance was given by Mr. Hewitt, the house-surgeon,
and Dr. Barrington, who, upon a minute examination,
discovered that in addition to mark.), minor injuries, the un-
fortunate lady had received a severe fracture of the skull.
The surgeons were in constant attendance all night, as also
the elder Miss Blair and other members of the family.
From inquiries made yesterday at the hospital, it appeared
that Miss Blair was still alive, but lying in an almost
hopeless state.

NEW LIGHT IN THE BAY OF BISCAY.—
GROIX LIGHT (FIXED).
On the Ist of April a new light will be shewn on Pen-
men or the north-west point of the Ile de Croix. The
light-house has recently been built, 547 yards S. E. by S.
from that point, and lies in 47 deg, 38 min. 55 sec. N., and
3 deg. 36 min. 30 sec. W. of Greenwich. The light will
be 75 feet above the base of the Towe;", and 170 feet above
high water, and may be teen in clear weather at the dis-
tance of 18 sea miles.

It should be remarked that, c cept in foggy weather,
vessels coming from the southward mi I perceive the light
on Belle-ile ( which revolves every minute) b fore .this
light can be seen, and that in approaching the
Ile de Croix the small light on the eastern point
of the island will be seen at the same time as the
new light on Penmen Point. In like manner vessels
coming from the westward will be exposed to no risk of
mistaking the lights, for before the new light on Penman
Point will be visible, they will almost always have seen the
great Penmatk Light, the flashes of which are at halt
minute intervals; and also the Penfret Light (on ore of
the Glenan Islands), which fliishes evory four minutes,
with preceding and following short eclipses.

PENLAN LIGHT (FIXED).
This little fixed light wa3 shown on the Ist of March,
and is placed on the turret of a small building lately
erected on Peclan Point, or the North point of the mouth
of the Vilaine River. It stands fifty. two feet above the
high water mark of equinoctial spring tides, and in clear
weather may be seen at the distance of nine sea miles.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
NEW LIGHTS ON THE WESTERN COST OF FRANCE.
(Communicated by the French Government.)
On the 15th of May next the Chaussee de Sein, a chain
of rocks which extend 141 miles from the coast, and which
is commonly called by English seamen the Saintes, will
be distinguished by the following Lights :-
1. SEIN LIGHT (FLUSHING),
will be placed on a tower, built on the northern point of
the Isle de Sein, in 48. 2. 40 north, and 4. 51. 58 west of
Greenwich. The Light will stand 141 English feet
above the base of the tower, and 148 feet above the level
of high water at equinoctial spring tides.
It will be an intermitting light, the flashes appearing
every four minutes, and preceded and followed by short
eclipses, which, however, will not be total in fine weather
within the distance of three leagues. The weaker light,
which will continue about three minutes between the
flashes, will be visible in fine weather at the distance of
six leagues.

2. BEC DU RAZ LIGHT (FIXED),
which will be placed on a building lately erected on the
highest part of the point of land called the Bcc du Raz, in
48. 2. 22. N.. and:4. 43. 53. W. of Greenwich. The light
will stand 46 English feet above the base of the building,
and 239 feet above the level of high water, at equinoctial
spring tides. It may be seen in fine weather at the dis-
tance of six leagues.
The Sein Light is 5i sea miles from the Bec du Raz
Light, cn the bearing of N. 86. 50. W. ; this bearing, which
is likewise the general directim of the whole chain of
rocks called the Chausse de Sein, passes about 4 cables
length to the southward of the north western extreme of
the chain, which is nine miles from the Sein Light, and
141- miles from that on the Bec du Raz. In approaching
these rocks from the westward the first Light seen will be
flashing light on the Ile de Sein, and a single bearing of
it will indicate to the mariner whether he is to the north-
ward or southward of the line ofdirection of the two lights.
In clear weather the Bcc du Raz Light will not be seen
till the vessel is within four or, five miles of the western
extreme of the chain of rocks.

When it is intended to pass to the southward of the rocks
a course should be steered so as to open the light on the
Bea du Raz to the right or to the southward of that on the
Ile de Sein, but if it be intended to pass to the northward,
or to enter the Iroise, no time should be lost in quickly
opening the Bee du Raz light to the left, or northward of
that on the Isle de Sein.

It must, however, be remarked that the intermittent
light on the Isle de Sein will present the same appearance
as the Penfret Light (on one of the Glenan Islands) ; but
this resemblance cannot occasion► any mistake, as the light
of Penfret is within' the horizon of the great light of Pen-
mark the flsshes of which arc at half minute intervals, and
which in fine weather are seen as far as the Bee du Raz.

FAMILY DINNER AT THE MAN

SION HOUSE.

On Friday last the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress gave
a most splendid state dinner to the members of his Lord-
ship's family. Invitations had been sent to 180, and 117
sat down to dinner, which was served in the Egyptian Hall,
with the magnificent fittings and decorations in the same
tasteful manner in which they were displayed on Easter
Monday. The state hand played in the saloon a variety of
new tunes while the company were assembling, and in the
music gallery during dinner.
All the different individuals of the family above nine
years of age were invited, and it is unnecessary to say that
the children were delighted beyond measure with the magic
brilliancy of the scene.
The Lord Mayor wore the entertaining robe, and, at-
tended by the sword and mace-bearers, received his rela-
tives with all the splendour and form which are destined
to accompany the most distinguished civic banquets. The
heads of the families were seated at a cross table on the
austings, commanding a full view of the hall, the gorgeous
decorations of which were reflected by large mirrors. Two
tables in the centre reached from the cross table nearly to
the end of the hall. The sideboards all round the room
were most tastefully laid out with gold and silver orna-
ments, and the floor was covered with rich Brussels carpets.
A chaplain sat at the end of each of the long tables, and
performed the duties of vice-presidents highly to the grati-
fication of the family party.
" The Queen's Health" was given and received with
three times three, and the toast was joined in by those who
never before had such enjoyment with all the enthusiasm of
the oldest veterans. Indeed, the trumpet's call to silence
was necessary between each toast.
The Queen's health was followed by " Prosperity to the
City of London," which was seconded by the toast of
" Continued Prosperity to the Wilson Family " It may
interest our readers to state the fact that every member of
the family present was in independent and comfortable cir-
cumstances, and indebted in a great degree to the city of
London for that prosperity.
After dinner the ladies retired to music in the drawing-
rooms, and the younger members flew with rapidity and
delight to all sorts of games in the ball room, which was
brilliantly lighted up for the occasion. The party separated
soon after eleven o'clock, all declaring that it was the hap-
piest and proudest evening they ever spent in their lives.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT AT MESSRS. BAR-
CLAY AND PERKINS'S BREWERY.--Tuesday between eleven
and twelve o'clock one of the extra men was assisting to
load some pockets of hops into a waggon ; after the waggon
was loaded, the man, forgetting the hops would rebound,
jumped upon the top pocket from a height of upwards of
30 feet, and was thrown on to the stones. He was picked
up in a state of insensibility, and conveyed without loss of
time to St. Thomas's Hospital, where he lies without the
slighte-t hopes of recovery.

APRIL FOOLS.—On the Ist of this month, a
day consecrated to practical jokes, one of those singular
tricks by which even the wisest are convinced of the silt&
lowness of human sagacity, was successfully played r,ff at
the Angel Inn, in Bury St. Edmunds. A wag mentioned
that Sir Thomas Gooch had stated in the Grand Jury.
room that he received a private communication that the
Ministry had resigned, and that Sir Robert Peel had been
sent for by her Majesty to form a Conservative Adminis-
tration. As might be expected, unusual joy filled the
hearts of the Tory expectants, and was depicted on the
rubicund countenances of more than one of the old Corpo-
ration, giving additional zest to the triumph they had that
morning achieved in the return of Churchwardens; but.
alas, for the dt crptiveness of human hopes, the rep,rt Ras
no sooner blown about than the arrival or the London
morning Papers was doomed to blast them, and the reek.
less advocates of change found, to their mortification,
that they themselves, and not the Ministry, were out.
Suffolk Chronicle.

DREADFUL AND DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.--
On Tuesday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, a car.
man, named James White, in the employment of a Mr.
Lomas, of Vauxhall, was driving his master's cart along
Thames-bank, Westminster, laden with rubbish, when the
unfortunate man fell down in an epilectic fit, and the near-
side wheel passed over his legs and body. Several la-
bourers who were near at work ran to his assistance, and
found him lying insensible; they raised him up, when it
was found that both his legs were fractured in a dreadful
manner below the knee. His right shoulder was also dis-
located, and several of his ribs appeared to be broken. The
poor man was instantly removed without the least hope of
recovery.

On Monday noon, the Ist instant, the ferry-
boat here, with five persons (three passengers, besides two
ferrymen), also a cart laden with furniture, and the horse,
sunk a short distance from the shore at the south side of
the river. One of the ferrymen and a passenger fom
Ilowden were drowned, and, we are sorry to say, both have left
wives and large families. When the accident occurred, it
was high water and very windy. The furniture in the
boat wks Mr. J. Carter's of Bowden, who was removing
to the neighbourhood of Goole, and a great deal of it was
lost, among which, we are sorry to state, was a quantity of
valuable plate in a chest. The horse was saved, and was
the means of saving Mr. Brook, of Armin, who clung to
his mane and got safely out. The wind luckily blew hard
from the cast, which kept all from drifting to the middle of
the river. If this had not been the case, every soul must
inevitably have perished. It is thirty.six feet at low
water, where the chest is sunk, and the diving man with
his helmet from Grimsby is engaged, as the only likely
means to recover the articles.—_Doncaster Gazette
