UNION HALL.--Eleanor Brown stunmoned
James MuWig before the. Sitting Magixtrate, some
days since, on a charge of haVing assaulted her.
It appeared from the statement made before the
Sitting Magistrate, that the parties had lived to-
gether fur ,upwardS of eight years as man and
but had separated at Christmas last.
.0n the
day named in the,summons they met accidentally
in the street, when Mrs. Brown stopped the de-
fendant, and insisted on having some Pioney from
him.; this, hots ever, 'he refused, saying she had
quitted Mil voluntarily, and tilt refore had no
claim 'upon him. She still continued to press
Lim, upon which be pushed her awar, and this
was the assault complained of. 'Die Mligistrate,
upon this statement, said there was no ground. for
holding the defendant to bail; lie should, there-
fore, dismiss the complaint ; and be advised
them to retire and make up their differences. The
parties then left - the Office, and after having had
something to drink a neighbotning
pubiic-
b.onse, Mrs. BroWn went home ann told beg land-
lady, that though she had gratified her revenge by
taking .Mailling before a Magistrate, yet her
heart was still his, and that she should probably
sleep in a Watery bed that might. She did pot,
however, go out again that day, but went to bed
at her usual time. In the middle of the night she
got up, went to her 'landlady's bedside, and told
her slia had taken poison ; she again,went to bed,
her latrdlady not crediting what• she said ; she
slept for two or three liimrs longer, when she
awoke in excruciating k.gonies, and in a short

time aftetataras expired, notwithstatAing 'Medical -
aid had been called lil. On the:body being open.
eds it appealed that she had taken smile poisonous
drag, whiekbaA occasioned her death,

at Walton-upon-Thames, who stands charged with
feloniously and maliciously shooting at and'
wounding Carrington, a tailor of the same place,'
was yesterday bi. Ought up for re-examination.----
The deposition of witnesses were taken in tbe ab-
sence•of the wounded man, who is in St, George's
• Hosrital, and was unable to attend. It appeared
that Smith had the care of a Gentleman's house,
and some annoyance having taken place by the"
ringing of the bell on several evenings, the pri-
soner concealed himself and waited the arrival of.
Carrington,' avlio knocked at the door. The pri-
soner discharged the gun, loaded with slugs, and •
shot at Carrington, who attempted to get away,
but fell. The prisoner confessed he knew Car-
rington was the man •be shot at. lie WaS cont-
witted until Car-rington could be brought forward.
HATTON-GARDEN.--A scildier underwent an ex-
*initiation, yesterday before Mr. Leach, charged
on the oath, of John „Everett with drawing .
his
bayonet on him, whilst in the act of paying for a
pint of porter ut the Cumberland Arms public--
house, Battle-bridge, and wounding him in the
side. lie stated, that he had not.been five mi-
nutes ini the house at the time, lhaving gone in. in
coMpany with a friend, and called for a pint of.-
.porter, which he laid on the bar,. and whilst
stinufing before the fire, in the act of paying for
it, he had a few words of altercation with another
soldier who -was in company with the .prisoner,
when the prisoner, without' any provocation, drew
hie bayonet, and, advancing,made a thrust at him.
lie knew, however, that it was not out of any
malice, but the effect of liquor, having learned.
thathe..came to foal) on furlough from Cheltna-.
ford, and spent the day drinking with his brother
anal brother-in-law ; he therefOre required no sa-
tisfaction. The Magistrate gave them permission
to withdraw, in order to settle matters; which
they did.---The prisoner was discharged. •

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF -THE, FALL OP A lIOU.SE

AT GLASGOW

Whilst some masons were employed in cutting
out 41 window at the boftom of the wall, and while
in the act of plating up props for its better secu-
rity, the wall suddenly came'dowu ; they, how
--
ever, fortunately escaped, but had no time to
warn the inhabitantg above. As 50011 as the dust
which arose from the ruins subsided, several in-
dividuals were seen mounting the wreck, regad-
less of--the danger which the hanging remains
threatened, searching for the 'persons who were
buried in the rubbish. The first persons-observed
were Neil M‘Viccar, pressman, and a son of his
employer (Mr. Duncan), who bad been precipi-
tated from-the garrets, six storks high, and es-
caped without any great hurt. The 'pressman
chiefly regretted the loss of his jacket, con-
taining ss. and a certificate for his soldier's pen-
sion. Two Misses Ralston, from the sth flat,
were found on the top of the rubbish unhurt
tlieir rather, suspended from a window-sole, was.
rescued from his perilous situation by a ladder ;
and his wife and son were dug out ; the boy had
a thigh-bona broken, and his mother was much
bruised. Mr. Bishop, reed7maker, 4th fiat, who
had observed his wife, the only individual killed,
carried down with the ruins, was brought down
by theladder; as' was. also his son, who hung by
the opposite Babel. Mr. Shepherd, his wife and
son, 3d flat, remaining on a small portion of the
floor, were likewise restored to safety by the la)der.
—Mr. T. Duncan and his son William, printers,
were-briought down by the ladder from the gar-
rets—a most alarming height anal perilous situa-
tion, as part of the roof every moment threatened
-to hurl them down. _Fortunately four •p-,7h01e
milks were absent from the house when the tail
took place. The loss: in furniture and working
mateiials was considerable., Fears were at one
time entertained that the tenement would take
fire, and- a fin engine• was brought to the spot ;
but fortunately these fears were not just. The
Magistrates, military, and peace officers, attended,
and did every- thing in their power to diminish the
contusion and distress.
