UNION-HALL.

A young man named Hartley, of respectable appearance,
was this day brought before the sitting Magistrates, at this
office, charged with being drunk.

A policeman of the Ifdivision stated, that yesterday after-
noon he was in the Walworth-road, when he observed the de-
fendant driving a gig, apparently so drunk that he did not
know what he was about, and totally incapable of driving. He
watched him, and he had not proceeded far before he run the
gig against something, overturned it, and injured himself very
much. Witness, when he went up to him, thought he was
dead. He was completely covered with blood.
Mr. TRAILL directed the defendant to be discharged after
admonishing him to take care in future not to get drunk.
THE SPANISH LEGION.—A young man named Day, who
stated that he had been a member of the British Legion, but
had been discharged in consequence of ill-health, was brought
up in custody, charged by Mr. 'Waller the relieving officer of
Rotherhithe, with having broken a pane of glass, value 4s.
Mr. Waller stated that the prisoner applied to him yes-
terday for relief, and on his refusal to give him any, he picked
up a stone and broke the pane of glass.
Mr. TRAILL—WeII, Mr. Day, what have you to say to this
charge?
Day said that he had been a private in the Spanish Legion,
under the command of General Evans, from which he had
been discharged in consequence of ill-health, and sent to
England without a shilling in his pocket, and being in a state
of starvation he had applied for relief, and, being refused, he
thought the best thing for him would be to get into prison.
Mr. TRAILL ordered the prisoner to pay 4s. for the damage,
or be committed for a month.

The prisoner being unable to pay the money, was committed

On Sunday afternoon a female was seen floating
down the river, borne on the surface by her dress. A man
from the crowd which the sight collected on the Quai de la
Conference, jumped into the river and succeeded in bring-
ing the unfortunate lady, for such she proved to be, on shore.
She was young, handsome, fashionably dressed, and had
ornamental jewellery of value on her person. On recovering
her senses, the Commissary of Police demanded her name ;
this she at first refused to give, but on being told that it she
did not she must be sent to an hospital, she confessed her-
self to be the wife of a gentleman holding a distinguished
office in the department of the finances. Information was
sent to her husband, and an elegant carriage soon after ar-
rived, and she was conveyed home wrapped up in blankets.
The cause of this extraordinary occurrence is not known.--

A man was boasting about his knowledge of the
world, when a wag in company asked him if he had ever
been in Algebra? " I cannot exactly tell," said he, " but
I think I once passed it on the coach."
