U.l lON-HALL.

Henry Kent, a young man of respectable appearance, was
this morning brought before Mr. WEDGWOOD, charged by his
wife, a pretty young woman, with threatening to shoot her
with a pistol, last night, at their residence in Webber-street,
near the Victoria Theatre.
Susannah Kent stated, that about nine o'clock last night her
husband came home in a state of intoxication, and without any
provocation on her part, he took a loaded pistol from his coat
pocket, and threatened to shoot her. The pistol missed fire,
fortunately, and by that means her life was saved.
Mr. WEDGWOOD inquired if the complainant thought it was
the intention of her husband to shoot her.
Mrs. Kent said that he was very much in liquor, and she did
not think he knew what he was about.
Mr. Wanawoon—Has he ever attempted to do so before ?
The complainant, after some hesitation, admitted that he had.
The husband, when called upon to answer the charge, stated
that his wife last Sunday attempted to poison herself. On the
day previous she had been to the shop of a Mr. Sewell, in the
New-cut, and obtained what she supposed was arsenic, telling
Mr. Sewell she wanted it to kill rats. This she took on Sunday,
and immediately told the defendant what she had done. He
instantly went to Mr. Sewell, who told him what he had sold
her was only cream of tartar, observing that he was not such
a fool as to sell a woman arsenic. With respect to the pistol,
it was not loaded, and his wife knew it was not.
Mr. WEDGWOOD—WeII, do you wish your husband to be
held to bail ? Do you consider that you stand in fear of your
life? If so, you have stated quite enough to me to call on him
to find bail.
Mrs. Kent inquired if finding bail would be a punishment
to him, and on being told by the worthy magistrate that if she
required bail, he would be locked up till he found it, she hesi-
tated what answer she should make.
Mr. WEDGWOOD—You are much better able than I am to
judge whether your husband will carry his threats into execu-
tion ; if you think he will make another attempt you ought to
call upon him to find bail.
Mrs. Kent said she had no doubt he would, and she firmly
believed she was not safe.
Mr. WEDGWOOD ordered the defendant to find bail, himself
in 401., and two sureties of 201. each, to keep the peace to all
his Majesty's subjects, but more especially his wife.
The defendant, on hearing this, gave his wife a most ex-
pressive look, exclaiming as he left the bar, " Very well,
madam—thank you, madam."

-
It is expected that his Majesty at the Privy Coun-
cil tomorrow will receive the Recorder's report of the con-
victs under sentence of death in Newgate. The case of Wil-
liams, who effected such a miraculous escape from Newgate,
has not yet been reported to the King.
The Duke of Brunswick and suite arrived at the
Plough Hotel, Cheltenhatri, on Wednesday last ; it was ex-
pected his Grace would sojourn there a few days.
The Duke of Rutland has arrived from Haddon
Hall at Belvoir Castle, where he intends to remain until the
October Newmarket races, at which his Grace will be present.
The Marchioness of Abercorn is still at the spa-
cious chateau (Bently Priory) waiting the return of the Mar-
quis from the Doune, in the Highlands of Scotland, which is
expected to take place in the course of the ensuing week.
They intend proceeding on the Ist of November to Barons'

tani is selected for the occasion, supported as formerly by

By advices from Odessa we learn that the new wheat
had began to appear in the market, and was of exceedingly
good quality, and had met an animated sale. The price was
11 roubles to 16 roubles per chetwert.
By commercial advices from Smyrna, yesterday, we
learn that the fig crop would be less than that of last year, but
that the quality would be fine, and the price higher. The
market for cotton goods had been rather active. Woollen
goods were in good demand. A public sale of 600 bags of
coffee had taken place, which brought 635 piastres. Sugars
were abundant, and with little doing. Nothing was doing in
other articles.

The Directors of the Bank of Ireland at a meeting held on
Friday last in Dublin, raised the rate of discount to 5 per
cent., making their practice uniform with that of the Bank of
England. When this was known at the Stock Exchange, at
a late hour in the afternoon, it produced some sensation, and
will no doubt have an effect on the Joint-stock and other
banks.
