BO W-STREET.

Daniel Richardson, having the appearance of a mechanic, was
charged by Mr. Henry Lucket., coffeehouse-keeper, 05, Chancery lane,
with causing a disturbance at his house, and breaking part of his
furniture.

It appeared from the evidence, that the prisoner came into the shop of
the complainant for refreshment, last evening at six o'clock, in a state of
intoxication, and in consequence of the disturbance he caused to the
company he was desired to go about his business quietly, but he refused,
and commenced striking the tables and every article within his reach.
Upon the complainant attempting to remove him he became more yin.
lent, and smashed a table and a wire blind before he could be given into
custody. Mr. Lucket added, that he had known the prisoner for many
years as a peaceable quiet man when sober, and he therefore had no wish
to press the charge with respect to the damage he had done.
The prisoner exi,ressed himself very penitent, and was ordered to be
discharged upon payment of the drunkard's fine.
•john Crane, a light-fingered youth, was charged by Mr. Robert
Hewgill, linen-draper, of High Holborn, who stated that he was passing
down Long Acre last night at ten o'clock, and on turning round dis.
covered that he had at that moment become minus his handkerchief,
and seeing the prisoner nearer to him than necessary, he accused him of
the robbery, which he resolutely denied, but on laying hold of him, and
giving him a good shaking, the "fogle" fell from under his coat.
The policeman who came up, recognised the prisoner as an old hand ;
and after assuring the Magistrate that he was tempted to Mot: up the
article which unaccountably lay at his feet, he was fully committed
fur trial.

UNION-HALL.
Yesterday Thomas Robinson Bill, the master of a ship, was brought
before Mr. JEREMY, charged with attempting to diicharge a loaded pistol
at Abraham Rayner, of No. 2, New square, Horselydown.—The pri.
soner was committed for trial.

QUEEN-SQUARE.
Ann Hughes; it young woman about twenty five years of age, with a
remarkably wild expression of countenance, was placed at the bar,
charged under the following circumstances :
Thomas Hill, a cabdriver, yesterday morning about four o'clock, was
Called off the Temple stand by the prisoner, who directed him to drive
her to No. 4, Albion_place, Commercial-road ; he accordingly did so, but
the persons occupying the house denied all knowledge of the prisoner,
who then requested he would drive her to the New Palace, in the neigh-
bourhood of which witness understood that she had some friends residing.
Upon arriving at the New Palace the prisoner wished to be driven in at the
private entrance, that she migh', to use her own words "See Victoria in.
stanter." Witness then suspe,ted his fare was insane, and accordingly let
her out of the cab, when she tendered him in payment a pairof ear-rings;
witness, however, refused to receive them, and upon his giving them
back to the prisoner, she threw them into the road. The prisoner then
tried to pass the sentries at the Palace gates, and said " she must go
and see Victoria, and guard her from harm, as she Was her guardian
spirit." The soldiers then recommended to give the prisoner into Cus-
tody, which was done immediately. From two duplicates found upon
her witness had discovered that she was the wife of a real and wood
dealer in Tottenham-court-road.

Mr. Iluanet.r. (to the prisoner)—What have you to say in answer to
the charge made against you 2 Prisoner— I am a great traveler. I
have been all over the earth, and the Queen has accotnpanied me un-
known to her Ministers. I had great power on Earth ; I could make it
stand still till Victoria became Queen, and then I gave the power to
her. When I came out last night I told the earth and Ileavens to be
quiet, and they were so, not a breath stirred (exultingly ) I have
great power—l know I have, and all the world knows it.
Mr. BOttßEtt Why do you leave your husband ?—Prisoner (looking
steadfastly on the magistrate and lowering her voice)—Hush ! you re-
member the thunder a f.,w days ago ? Well, I've not seen my husband
since then. I had a dreadful battle that day with the elements (hold-
ing out her hands.) See how the Vanets scratched my hands! But I've
conquered them—there will be no more thunder. I've locked it in a
but, and the Queen has got the keys.
Mr. I3uattELL—l think the prisoner's husband should be immediately
informed of her situation.

Prisoner (vehemently)—No, no, no ;heis a bad man—the devilpos.
sesfes him ; and he beats me when I battle with the planets.
Mr. BURRELL directed one of the officers to go immediately to Totten.
hani.eourt_road, and request the attendance of the husband. In the
mean time the prisoner was taken into the outer office, where she passed
the time in reciting passages from the poems of Ossian, with which she
appeared to be well acquainted She also once or twice burst forth with
an invocation to the saints and the Queen, the burden of which was that
they should take her away from earth, &c. The effect of this wild song
was very good, as she possessed a very powerful, and, at the same time,
beautiful voice.

In a short time the husband of the prisoner arrived, and represented
to the Magistrate that his wife had been in the unfortunate state she
was now in for many months. The expenses she had put him to, in
paying for her wild freaks, had been enormous, and he felt that unless
she could be sent to a lunatic asylum she would soon make him a beggar,
besides rendering his existence miserable.
Mr. litianut. asked what bad caused the prisoner's derangement.
The husband believed it resulted from intense reading and drink.
The prisoner was held to bail.

Among the numerous gossiping articles to which
the death of Prince Talleyrand has given rise, the Censeur de Lyons
gives the following :—" For several years the Prince was a debtor ,o the
house. of Laffitte for a sum to which the interest was regularly added,
and an account of the balance to the Prince at the end of each
year; but he paid no attention to the hint. This last year, being re.
minded of his debt in the usual manner, the Prince thought fit to place
his account on a different footing Calling, therefore, on M. Laffitte,
he entered into a long conversation on various topics, but never made
thehe a
he st uml;aickeet of bank.notes from his pocket, and, placing
Y matters till the moment of his departure,
w
them in the hands of the banker, said—' Permit me with these to open
an account current with your house.' Prince being gone, the notes
too
a
were counted, and when paced against the long standing balance, the
k o n
large
sum remaining for the Prince to draw upon was found to be-0. It
seemed that the Prince could not possibly bring himself to use the words
I am come to pay my debt.'

The 78th regiment, newly arrived from India,
marched through Glasgow on Friday afternoon with a tame elephant,
brought by the officers from India, which marched at the head of the
band in regimental and most maje,tic order, while the Highland bag-
pipes played behind. Great crowds turned out to see them, and the ci-
tizens appeared vastly amused with the scene.—Glasgow Paper.
