most respectably connected, and regretted that the
defendant had, from some unaccountable cause, so
far forgotten himself as to commit a cowardly as-
sault on his client. Neither Miss Langley nor her
relatives had any vindictive feeling towards Mr. Kent,
deemedw'lloseaP°legYfor the offence committed would be
sufficient.

Mr.:ComnE asked the defendant if he was willing to
do that suggested by Mr. Wakeliny ?
lie hesitated, and said he would not do so unless it
was in qualified terms.
Mr. \Vakeling declined to have a conditional apo-
logy, and called on the complainant to give evidence.
She said that a few evenings ago she was on a 'visit to
two ladies, to one of whom the defendant was paying
his addresses. The conversation had reference to the
atrocious murder alleged to have been committed by
Manning and his wife, and on witness expressing her
abhorrence of the dreadful deed, and saying there
existed no moral doubt in her mind of the guilt of
the prisoners, the dOendant became very much ex-
cited, observing that he was acquainted with Manning
and his family, and he was satisfied of his innocence.
The witness reiterated her opinion, whereupon he
seized Ler with considerable violence, and struck her,
at the same time threatening to serve her out on an-
other occasion.

Mr. Comm: asked hEr if she went in any fear of
the defendant ?—She said she did.
Other evidence having been given, the Magistrate
asked the de

certainly pushed her aside and rebuked her for her
uncP.lled-for interference, and he called his "sweet-
heart" and her sister as his witnesses. They, how-
ever, did not serve him, and Mr. Combe ordered him
to find one security to keep the peace. While being
led into the clerk's office to get the required bail he
behaved very violently, and threatened one of the
complainant's friends. A communication of his con-
duct was forthwith made to Mr. Combe, who had him
brought back, and ordered him to find two re-
sponsible housekeepers to become answerable for him
to keep the peace to all her Majesty's subjects during
the next six months, and, in default, he was locked up.
THAMES.
On Saturday Dr. Allison, of Lemon-street dis-
trict, medical officer of the Whitechapel Union,
appeared before Mr. Ingham, and said that in
his capacity as medical officer of the cholera hos-
pital in Dock-street, Whitechapel, he wished to know
if it was in his Worship's power to interfere with a
nuisance, the removal of which from such a site
was of the utmost importance to persons in an ad-
vanced stage of cholera. Entire quietude was indis-
pensably requisite, but unfortunately at the present
juncture a sort of continuous fair was held in the
neighbourhood, noisy crowds assembled, the cries of
persons proclaiming various articles with sound of
drum and trumpet issued from every direction, and it
was impossible tor the person having medical superinten-
dence to answer for the issue of his treatment under
such circumstances.
Mr. INGHAM said there could be no doubt that
patients labouring under such a disease must be
seriously injured by being in such a vicinity, and
wished to know why such a spot was selected for an
hospital.

Dr. Allison replied that it was the most eligible
place in the neighbourhood for such an institution,
provided those noisy affairs could by any of the
provisions of the Police Act be removed to a greater
distance.

Mr. INGriAM said, he would be inclined to do all in
his power to procure that quiet for cholera patients
which he knew was so indispensable under the treat-
ment they required, but he feared that it was not
within his province. He would, however, give the
subject his fullest consideration, and afford all the
assistance he possibly could.
Dr. Allison proceeded to state that there was an-
other subject to which he would call attention as one
of still greater importance in the same neighbour-
hood. On Saturdays, when the working people have
money, deleterious food, consisting of rotten fruit,
unwholesome vegetables, and putrid meats were
openly sold, all highly productive of cholera. Beef
of a most offensive character was disposed of at 2d.
per pound, and other meats at a proportionately low
price.
Mr. INGium, having consulted Mr. Symons, the
chief clerk, regretted to say that he had no control
over the practice; the only way in which it could be
met was by indictment.
Dr. Allison—But can you do nothing, Sir ? It is
frightful to think that what mortality may ensue
from these two causes—creatures in the last stage of
collapse disturbed in the very crisis which may de-
termine their fate, and others, in buoyant health, per-
chasing in the same vicinity the cheap poison, to which,
under the appearance of food, they were about to be-
come victims.

MUSIC IN OLD TIMES.
The following singular advertisement of a concert in
the year 1697 shows how greatly the march of music
has progressed since that time, though it is universally
allowed that the advance of music in England has, till
lately, been unusually slow:—" Monday ntxt, the 28th
instant, will be performed, in York-buildings, a new
Concert of Musick by the Chiefest Masters in England,
when Signor Ramponi, an Italian musician, belonging to
the Prince of Vaudemont, at the request of several
Persons of Quality, will for once sing in the same in
Italian and french.—Half a guinea entrance."—(From

Paris, one of the greatest cities of the world, be was an
ieelated icing, as it were, aed he longed to return to his
own sunny clime. Meny were the yearnings of his
hear t to be once more in the midst of his pupils end
friends at Rome, performing his accustomed and homely
round of duties. "And oh!" thus our poor composer
exclaimed," how gladly would I resign all the honours,
all the triumphs, that are heaped upon me in Paris for
my old seat in the organ-loft of St. Peter's, or my desk
in the Vatican!" and though he mentally determined as
firmly as ever that his 7'e Deem should not be given for
the pretended King of Rome, he nevertheless commenced
writing a Magnificat and other works of a similar nature,
motets, &c., which he thought were likely to be required
by the Emperor. These labours, therefore, occupied him
more than a month, and during this time, having had no
requisition from the Court for more of his compositions,
he ventured to communicate to the Cardinal's secretary
that his situation of :Maestro di Capella at St. Peter's
required—though the Emperor seemed hardly aware of
it—his presence in Rome, end petitioned that he might
be allowed to return there immediately. Our composer's
heart was longing more than ever for the bright skies of
hie own land ; he burned more than ever to grasp the
"old familiar hands" once more ; to see the " well-
remembered faces" again. "To-morrow," came the re-
ply, " the day after, or even to-day, if M. Zingarelli
pleases; he is quite at liberty to depart whenever it suits
him; his stay in Paris is an honour and pleasure to us all;
but the Emperor is by no means desirous that he should
rug'ect his other duties or forget his other interests."
This therefore was the result of a journey which, to say
the lea- t of it, had been commenced under the most in-
auspicious circumstances, and which showed that in this
instance all the ambition of the conqueror, and the he ro
had not stifled the softer feelings of the man; fur, as the
poet sings—

" The true laurel-wreath that Glory weaves
Is of the tree no bolt of thunder cleaves."

NAVAL IN TELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—Wednesday next has been
ordained by the Bishop of this diocese as a day of
humiliation and prayer, on which occasion all business
will be suspended, and the dockyard and other public

Captain Aaron Tozer (1830) is appointed to Green-

The good service pension of 1501. per annum, re-
verting to the gift of the First Lord by the promotion
of Captain Sir J. J. G. Bremer, K.O 8., to be Rear-
Admiral, is reported to be conferred upon Commodore
Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.8., of the Raleigh, 50, on
on her way home.

A yacht race was run yesterday for 1001. a-side
off ti.is port between the cutters Drift, 55 tons, the
property of Mr. W. C. Hope, and the Tartar, 36
tons, the property of Mr. Danes, which prcduced a
very spirited contest, but which ended prematurely,
owing to an accident to one of the crew of the Tartar,
ho fell from aloft to the deck, a distance of about
30 feet, and sustained such severe injuries that his
life is despaired of. He lies in a precarious state at
the Isle of Wight Tavern Point, receiving the kindest
attention of the host and hostess, and the most assi-
duous attention of Mr. Piercy, surgeon. The course
was the " Queen's" from Cowes, round the linab
light-vessel off St. Helen's, and back to the westward
round a boat moored off Yarmouth. It was on the
homeward course the accident happened, which, it is
expected, will cause the match to be contested again.
