THAMES.

THE EFFECTS OF JEALOUSY.--William Hodson, a tall,
well• dressed man, about 30 years of age, was brought be-
fore Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting Caroline Gosling,
a young and very pretty woman, who said she was em-
ployed on a sewing machine, and living in Sidney-square.
The complainant, whose eye was blackened and forehead
bruised, said a tender connexion formerly existed between
her and the defendant. They lived together for six weeks,
and she left him on Saturday week, and told him their
parting must be for ever. Last`night she was leaving the
Eagle Tavern in the Mile-end-road with a young gentle-
man whom she knew, when the prisoner came up to her,
and asked her how she dared to form an acquaintance with
any other man besides himself, and wanted her to leave
the gentleman she was with. She refused to do so, and
told him to go about his business. The prisoner then
earnestly entreated her to renew the connection which
formerly existed. She refused, and begged him to leave
her. He did so, and she went to Taylor's Supper-rooms
and partook of supper. On leaving there the prisoner ac-
costed her again, stopped her, and called her bad names'.
She refused to have anything to do with him, and he then
struck her on the eye. She gave him into custody of a
police-constable, and he implored of her not to lock him
up, and promised not to molest her or hit her again. She
permitted his release, and soon afterwards he met her
again and struck her on the forehead. She fell, and was
raised by the bystanders.

Mr Paget—What was doing at the Eagle last night ?
Witness—Only the pleasure gardens open, sir. They
were open till 11 at night.

John Everidge, a tailor by trade," said he saw the
prosecutrix ill-used. Re was totally unacquainted with
her, but he did not like to seo a woman knocked about.
The prisoner, in defence, said—l was tipsy at the time.
I did not know what I did.

John Klaiber, No. 312 K, said he found the young
woman crying, and the prisoner running away. Her
forehead was marked and her eye bruised; It was now
blackened. He believed the complainant lived in a re-
spectable house in Sydney-square, Stepney, and was of
comparatively good character.
Mr. Paget said it was very unmanly to strike a woman,
but he could quite understand this arose out of jealousy.
The parties had lived together as man and wife, and the
prisoner was jealous of the man who was with her. He
would allow the prisoner to pay a fine. It was not more
than half-a-dozen times he had allowed a man to pay a fine
for striking a woman. He was hardly justified in doing it
in this case. The prisoner had committed a cowardly and
savage act. He fined him 405., and in default one month's
imprisonment.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—His Royal Highness
the Prince of 'Wales honoured the performances at
the Royal Italian Opera with his presence on Friday even-
ing. The Prince was accompanied by their Royal High-
nesses the Duke and Duchess de Brabant, with whom his
Royal Highness occupied the Queen's box. The house
was well filled with fashionable company.
THE HON. R. BETIIELL.—This person, who is
the eldest son of the Lord Chancellor, and who has recently
been proclaimed an outlaw, was .arrested by a sheriff's
officer on Ascot race-course on Friday, at the suit of a
London creditor. He was on the same evening lodged in
Reading Gaol.

LOCKING RAILWAY CARRIAGES.—Lord St.
Leonards has brought in a bill which is probably the
shortest of the Session. It has no recital. It runs thus :
—" Be it enacted by, &c. (the regular words of course),
from and after the 18th of July next it shall not bo lawful
to lock both tho doors of any railway carriage while any
passenger is within it."

the gardeners of the nobility and gentry contribute the
flowers to decorate the banquet hail, the exotics to grace
the tables, and the fruit for the dessert. Apart from the
benevolent object of the institution—viz., providing pen-
sions for aged and infirm gardeners and others connected
with horticultural pursuits—the banquet is of a peculiarly
interesting nature. The preceding festivals have all been
productive of the greatest benefit to the institution, and it
is not for a moment to be doubted that the approaching
festival, presided over by such an open-handed and large-
hearted gentleman as the chairman, will fall below its pre-
decessors either in a pleasurable or pecuniary point of view.
NEW SPIRITUAL PEER.—In consequence of the
death of the Bishop of Chester, the Right Rev. Dr. Travers
Jenne, recently consecrated to the Bishopric of Peterborough
will become a spiritual peer, and the junior bishop, on
whom will devolve the duty of acting as chaplain to the
House of Lords. The new Bishop of Chester, whoever
he may be, will remain without a seat in the House of
Lords until a vacancy arises in a diocese other than Can-
terbury, York, London, Durham, or Winchester.

The Courrier do Marseille relates that a grey-
hound belonging to a captain of artillery three days back
kept pace with an express train in which was his master,
between that city and the Roquefavour Station, a distance
of 15 miles.

A PIG WITH A WOODEN LEG.—A tailor in Con-
par-Anguscwho had a pig which got one of its legs broken,
has replaced the injured limb with a wooden une. It is
curious to see the animal hobbling about, but it is thriving
as well as before the accident.--Edinburgh Courant.
