MARLBORO UGH- STREET.

-------- _ _
A grave old gentleman with a large parcel under his arm
presented himself before the bench, and earnestly begged to
be allowed to make his melancholy case publie. -
The Magistrates, seeing a person of respectable appearance
before them, intimated their willingness to hear the appli-
cant's statement.
Then, said the old gentleman, clapping on a pair of spectacles
and opening a huge closely-written manuscript, the best and
shortest course will be for me to read the history of my suffer-
ings for the last seven years daily recorded in this brief manu-
script. Listen—Depositions against Henry Watson, com-
monly known as the son of Simpson, the apothecary.
Mr. CONANT—Stop, pray what is your name ? Applicant
—My name—who does not know James Mair, schoolmaster,
of Fat ringdon-street.
Mr. CONANT—What have you to allege against this Henry
Watson ? Applicant—Robbery, plunder, waylaying me, and
attempting every hour of the day to run over my person tt ith
his horse and cart. But I'll read ; listen—depositions against
Henry Watson—commonly called—
Mr. CONANT—lnstead of reading that long statement, you
had better tell us of some specific act of robbery or violence
committed on you.
Applicant—lt's all written down here. I've read the mann-
script at Bow-street, at Queen•square, and at Union-hall. All

the Magistrates expressed the greatest pleasure at hearing it I
and gave me advice, which I've carefully noted down in' °V
pocket-boA. Listen. Depositions against--,--
Mr. CONANT—I cannot consent to :isten to charges

to do you an injury ? Applicant—By common report. ~
Mr. CONANT—When did you see Henry Watson? APP"'

—Never. which

Saying which, the rpplieants pocketed the history of his
grievances, and walked away.

GURNEY MARRIED.—Let the votaries of in-;he
jo!ce I The great hurnourist of the day has just given Ord
world his most humorous work. The inexhaustible fan" pa
wit and drollery which Mr. Hook has crowded into the Pag-ra
of this picture of real life cannot fail to " set on a roarefflt
table on which it lies—changing the very atmosphere abelis
into a sort of " laughing gas." There is a reality ie 'it.
fanniest of fictions—a truth of feeling and delineation 1n
most extravagant caricatures which few other writers of
day can hope to rival.

CAPTAIN CHAMIER'S NEW NOVEL.--A °ll
the various events which are connected with the nival

of our country, there is not one which so strongly °P.P,,'OO
and comes home, to the personal feelings, as them en",,leat

chosen by Chaptain Chamier as the foundation of hit
novel, entitled "Jack Adams, the Mutineer ;" and, as the eio
pabilities of the materials thus placed at his disposal surPassod
intensity of interest, variety of passion, force of character' on
singularity of incident, those of any other naval subjcedal
record, we may expect that the result will be of corresPe"„
interest and popularity. A,ta
DISCOVERY OF A SKELETON.—On
the skeleton of a man was found by a lad named Jesse Via'
in a wood, at Skaynes-hill, Lindfield ; and a Coronee"
quest was held yesterday on the remains by the Coronmrnes
H. Gell, Esq. The flesh was entirely gone, and the ;1001;

pearance of the teeth, Mr. Tuppen, surgeon, of Lindfie''' 018
attended the inquest, was of opinion that he was not a..„,,
man. His dress, which is now in the possession of theta7ca
stable, was that of a gentleman, and appeared to be net

decayed. He wore a black frock coat, with gambroon b
trowers fashionably cut; a good black silk stock, with a boy
behind ; cotton stockings, on one of which could be trace

initials " G. T." in thread, and on the other " 2"; and adker•
good black hat. In his pocket were found two silk ban
chiefs, one of them marked " G. T." a razor with inpei
name, " J. Arnold," a shaving-brush, a piece of soap. vgarite
in paper, and a snuff-box. No money was found on n,' foto
