MARYLEBONE.-(THIS IiAY.)

COUNTERFEIT COIN.— Thomas Watts, a young and rather
resp3ctable-looking lad, was placed at the bar, before Mr
HosKlrs, charged with passing two bad shillings in Camden-
town.

Eliza Yewell proved the fact against him; she stated that
the prisoner came into the shop of her mistress, who is a to-
bacconist, at 103, High-street, Camden-town, on last Mon-
day, purchased some tobacco, and in payment gave a shilling,
out of which she returned him change. After he was gone,
she found it to be bad. He came again yesterday, under the
same circumstances, and he was given into custody to a

policeman.
The prisoner declined saying anything in his defence, and
was fully committed for trial.
[The " smashers" seem to select the suburban parts of
London as the places of their operations, and manifest a peculiar
penchant for Camden-town, no less than six or seven cases
having been tried at this office within a very short time from
that locality—all the coins bore the date 1816.]

The Rainbow, General Steam Navigation Com-
pany's ship, arrived at Antwerp, from London, yesterday
morning at nine o'clock, with twenty passengers. The Bel-
gian steam-vessel Antwerpen, which left London two hours
before the Rainbow, arrived three hours afterwards with seven
passengers. The dashing manner in which Captain Fife has
lately taken the Rainbow across from London to Antwerp,
and vice versa, through gales of almost unprecedented vio-,
lence, during which, to use the words of a noble passenger
her motion was so gentle that a letter might be written in the
cabin with ease, has contributed greatly to the conviction that
this steam-boat possesses a great superiority over others in ease,
safety, and celerity, the three grand desiderata of passengers.

The principal alteration now making in Buckingham

by which much inconvenient crowding will be avoided.
On Monday, as Captain Barlow, of the Dragoon
Guards, and his lady, were proceeding towards Exeter in a
gig, at Exon-bridge the gig upset and precipitated Captain
Barlow over the bridge and broke both his thighs, previous
ti which Mrs. Barlow jumped out of the gig, and received
a sprain in her ancle joint.—Plymouth Chronicle.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East
India House, when Major-General Sir William Casement,
K. C. 8., was appointed provisionally Member of the Council
of India, to take his scat therein on the 16th of June, 1839,
when the term of Colonel Morison's service in the Council
will expire, or upon the death, resignation, or coming away
of Colonel Morison, should either of these contingencies
occur previously to that date.
The Marquis of Abercorn arrived at Bentley Priory
on Tuesday evening, from Haddo House, Old Meldrum, the
seat of Lord Aberdeen. The Marchioness, the infant Lord
Hamilton, and the youthful Ladies Harriet and Beatrice
Hamilton, and the whole of his Lordship's extensive estab-
lishment, have arrived at the Priory, from Brighton.
Prince Wiasemski left Mivart's Hotel yesterday for
Newstead Abbey, Notts, on a visit to Colonel Wildman.
The Prince, who has written several works of merit, is collect
ing materiel for a publication of his visit to this country. Of
course the seat of Byron's ancestors will not be forgotten in
the " peucillings" of the Noble Prince.
The answer to the inquities after the Earl of Howth
(who has been seriously indisposed at the London Hotel)
yesterday was, that his Lordship was convalescent.
ST. JAMES'S PARK.—We regret to find that the
state of this beautiful park, notwithstanding its immediate
proximity to the royal residence, and its great utility as a
public thoroughfare between two important sections of the
town, does not seem to attract due notice from the proper
authorities. Little or nothing has been done since last winter
to remedy the defects of which we then complained. The
walks still present the same level surface, not rising gradually
from the sides to the centre, as in gardens and pleasure-
grounds; but forming a dead flat, without any provision for
drainage. The consequence is that, after a fall of rain, the
walks look more like small canals or rivulets than foot-paths,
nd' if the pedestrian happen to wear shoes, he runs a great
chance 4 of leaving one of them behind him in the mud. It is

to be observed also that the sort of sand, for it is not gravel,
of which the walks are composed, is quite unfit for such a pur-
pose • it has no binding adhesive power, but, on the contrary,
yields to the slightest moisture. If there was not a very sim-
ple remedy for all this it might be endured, but there is no
such excuse for the neglect. Let the walks be restored to
their former shape, and let good gravel be laid down, and
the public will soon have the satisfaction of finding that they
c,in cross the park without suffering more than the fair ave-
rage of inconvenience in an unfavourable state of the attno-
sphere. —Morning Herald.

STORM AND TEMPEST.—We of this district know
little comparatively of the aerial warfare which, embracing a
very wide circle, has swept alike ocean and land of late.
Hurricane followed hurricane in rapid succession, not to speak
of minor storms ; every day had its tale of woe, in the shape
of wreck, and its painful attendants ; the Atlantic seems to
have been agitated in its entire length and breadth ; other
seas may have partaken of the same turmoil, and when the
whole truth comes to be known, the list of casualties will be
one of the longest ever recorded in the books at Lloyd's. It
was during the first of these fearful tempests that the Northern
Yaekt went down. One vessel saw the waves spouting over
her decks, and from what is said by the crew of the Circassia
of Newburgh, who beheld a vessel sinking close to the lell
Rock, not a doubt can remain that she foundered at sea, - with
with all bands on board. Last week we recorded the narrow
escape made by the Victoria, while on her passage
to Strang-
ford the same

About nine o'clock on Tuesday night
a man named
Bruce, a native of Oxfordshire, who was navigating h
a .arge
near Chelsea, fell overboard and was drowned. The body was
not found.
Yesterday a child named James Gunn, four yea
age, the youngest child of Mr. Gunn, cow-keeper,, at rsof
was in his father's cart with his brother, who was driving
it,
when by some means the backboard of the cart gave wa-y
and
the child fell under the wheel of the cart, which passed over
his body. He was conveyed to a surgeon's, where it
was
as-
certained that the ribs had been forced in upon the heart and
lungs. He was then removed to his father's house, where he
died after a few hours of excruciating pain.
On Tuesday afternoon, as William Follit's Chalfont
coach was proceeding, shortly before five o'clock, over the
Grand Junction Canal bridge, on the Uxbridge road, it was
met by the Sovereign, Warwick and Leamington coach,
coming to town. The Chalfont coach, being unpro vi e 'cl d • wit
h
lights, was not seen by the coachman of the Sovereign, and
the two coaches coming in collision, the pole and splinter-bar
were broken. Fortunately, although both coaches hadr several
outside passengers none of them were thrown off, nor was any
person injured. Both coaches were after some delay enabled
to proceed on their journey.
Shortly after three o clock yesterday afternoon, as a
crossing
boy, about 11 years of age, named Williamson, was
Long-acre, near James-street, he was knocked down va
carrier's cart, loaded with heavy bales of goods, and before l-
driver could pull up, one of the wheels passed the
over the upper
part of his body, and crusi.ed it in a shocking manner. The
boy was immediately carried to a surgeon's
in the neighbour-
hood, who recommended his removal to Charing-cross Hos-
pital, but be died on his way thither. The body was taken to
St. Martin's workhouse to await a coroner's inquest. The
driver was taken into custody, and the horse and cart removed
to the green-yard. The driver, whose name was Hemmings, was
f c
subsequently examined b
when the evidence ore the Magistrates at Bow-street,'
brought forward tended to
show that he
was not to blame, and he was allowed to depart on promising
to attend the inquest.
An Irishman named Collins, residing in Kensing-
ton, was yesterday r e-examined before the Magistrates in
Petty Sessions,
and held to bail on a charge of having with
others committed a

STATE OF TRADE.-'
There was some improve-
ment in the demand for yarn yesterday, and buyers were more
disposed than previously to give the trifling advance, whichd
has been occasion by the late movement in the cotton mar-
ket; but prices, e
especially of mule yarn, are still unremune -
rating ; and a further advance in yarn, or a decline in cotton,
is absolutely necessary for the spinners. In manufactured
goods, oncontrary, the there is a good and profitable business
doing, to an extentquite unusual at this period of the year ;
ind weavers, both by hand and power, are pretty fully em-
ployed in all the

ON A BISHOP CENSURING HIS

READ..

I'll try to write a sonnet on
A Bishop, who at Honiton
A Lecture full of anger read
Against his own devoted Head.
'Tis now a custom quite out of use
A, man to give his Head abuse;
But if all Bishops did the same
We should riot find so much to blame.
Philpott gave his Head a rap, Sir—
Phil-pott's a good name for tapster—
His sire, not up to Church rapacity,
Served the Crown Inn in that capacity.
Thus father and son, we'll mark it down
Both, in their turn, have served the Crown;
The first drew good old ale, we're told,
The last, we know, draws sterling gold.
Like son like father, saith our song,
Both their heads were often wrong;
The father's by strong ale all day,
The son's for what we cannot say.
Then Bishop Philpott counsel take,
Ne'er guilty be of such mistake,
When paid and delicately fed,
To angry be, and blame your Head.

THE REV. HENRY HEAD.

We are exceedingly glad to hear that last week an address
was presented by the inhabitants of Feniton, Devon, to their
beloved pastor the Rev. Henry Head, (the gentleman who has
recently been so furiously attacked by the Bishop of Exeter
and the Tory Journals) signed by the churchwardens, over-
seers, and 220 of the principal parishioners, in which they ex-
press a deep sense of the truly Christian manner in which he
had performed the duties of his Ministry among them—encou-
raging him to persevere " through evil report and good re-
port," although assailed by slander and falsehood, neither
courting the smiles nor fearing the frowns of man in the dis-
charge of his duty, and expressing a hope that God would
long continue him amongst them, and bless his endeavours in
the strength of the Lord to lead them on in the way of righte-
ousness, and instruct them in their duty to God and man. We
rejoice at this manifestation of the opinions of the Rev. Gen-
tleman's parishioners, inasmuch as it proves beyond all possi.
hility of doubt the high estimation in which Mr. Head is held,
and their feelings with regard to the course of conduct pursued
by the Right Rev. Diocesan. We may add that the Rev.
Gentleman has written a second letter to his diocesan, accord-
log to a Plymouth Paper, in which he repeats and defends his
fcrmer statements relative to baptism and the doctrines of the
Church of England.
