UNION-HALL.

A few days ago Jane Evans, a young female, very gaudily
dressed, was charged with stealing thirty shillings from an old
lady, in whose service she formerly lived.
Evans, who had hitherto borne an excellent character,
took occasion, during a visit she paid to one of her old mis-
tress's, to take a purse belonging to her, containing in silver
the above amount. The money, however, was not missed
until after the departure of the accused, and the person to
whom it belonged having described the circumstances under
which it was taken, and her suspicions against accused, the
latter was accordingly taken into custody. At the time of
her apprehension she was dressed in the most gaudy style,
with a green silk drawn bonnet on her head, and a bunch of
roses and honeysuckles underneath and surrounding her face,
which was certainly none of the handsomest. There was
some money found in her possession, and in accounting for
that circumstance, as well as the showy clothes
which she
was dressed, and which ill corresponded with a girl in her
situation of life, she said that she had received the money of
her mother, for the purposelof getting married to a young man
who had been paying his addresses to her for some time.
Magistrate—And have you got married to the young man?
Prisoner (crying)—No. He promised to have me. The
morning was appointed that he was to marry me, and I was
to meet him at the church, but he never came near the place,
and left me in the lurch.
The Magistrate said it was necessary to have her mother in
attendance, in order to ascertain whether it was true she had
given her daughter money to get married, and to show that
there was a probability that the statement might be true.
The prisoner was, therefore, reinutitl,d :or ;1„:t v.trro:;,,
Yesterday the cam came on again for I.c-I:baring, tthen the
accused's mother being present, she, on being asked, said that

on the morning before her daughter wag to have been marrieds
she gave her 81. to buy necessary things.
'I he Magistrate asked the mother if she knew the person to
whom her daughter was to have been married, and also whe-
ther she had accompanied her to church on the morning of the
disappointment ?
To these questions the mother acknowledged that she had
but a very slight acquaintance with the young man, as she did
not approve of the, connection, and added that she (the
mother) did not go with her daughter to the church.
The Magistrate asked whether it was known where the
faithless lover was gone after he had deceived the poor girl?
't he prisoner (crying)—He has gone off, and I supped
that I shall not see him again. I shall throw off these fine
things as soon as I am let out of this, and I shall never be-
l(2:vo another man's promise of marriage in futuro.--•

(Laughter.)
The 0141 lady who had lost the thirty shillings said that if
she had the strongest proof of the felony having been com-
mitted by the accused she should not think of prosecuting
after hearing the scandalous manner i►i which the poor girl
h.nl been betrayed by the fellow who professed to be her.

Sir Nicholas William Brady, City Coroner, called at the re-
sidence of the deceased on Saturday, and having with 113"1/
difficulty obtained admission, was told that the act was com-
mitted under the influence of a severe attack of brain fever,
under which the deceased laboured for some days previous,
and that the body was removed and interred the preceding
ds
evening. The Coroner, on the representation of the friers.
of the deceased, who arc highly respectable, and as no official
notice had been given, retired without further notice.—Duldits

this parish for many generations. By her account she nes e

Port Royal by an earthquake. She declared she never drank
anything but water during her whole life. She must 'have
been upwards of 160 years of age. An old black woman,

CRA YFORD CII URCII.—This venerable and re'
markable structure is undergoing complete repair. The fol-
lowing curious epitaph in the church-yard generally attract'
the attention of the pedestrian :---" Here lies the body t:
Peter Isnell, thirty years clerk of this parish. He lived re-
spected as a pious and worthy man, and died en his val.,' to
church to assist at a wedding, on the 31st of August, 1811;
aged 70. The inhabitants of Crayford raised this stone ~,
his cheerful memory, and as tribute to his faithful services-
" The life of this clerk was just threescore and ten,
Nearly half of which time he had sung out Amen !
In his youth he was married, like other young men;
But his wife died one day, so he chaunted Amen !
A second he took : she departed ; what then?
He courted and married a third with Amen.
Thus his joys and his sorrows were doubled ; but then
His voice was deep bass as he sung out Amen.
On the horn he could blow as well as most men,
So his horn was exalted in blowing Amen 1
But he lost all his wind at threescore and ten;
And here, with three wives, he waits till again
The trumpet shall rouse him to sing out Amen 1" ,

QUEEN ELIZABETH AND HER, TIMES. '-
The
Editor's object in arranging and publishing the mass of letters
of which this book is formed, was to do for English hist°l.l
what Percy has done for English poetry—to give its 'lb;
ments to the public in a popular and amusing form.
„.„,:„.
letters bear date through the whole of the 45 years of r-1";.,"d
beth's reign—from 1558, when her ambassadors, Cobham a'i.;
NVotton, notified the Queen's accession to Philip in the Nntht,,,,;
lands, until 1603, when Camden writes of " the exeesat
sleepless disposition" which was to end in two days in the :Tv
long sleep of death. It is difficult to fix upon a period of
tle,
tory where the personages and events described are se lila/
resting, and we are here enabled to view both as elenawn
almost, as if they were characters and occurrences of our v•of
day. We cordially recommend the work- to the readers
