NEW COURT.

Jane- Boyd was charged with stealing one pound four
shillings, from the person of John Nl‘Kenneth, a sailor, in
September last.
The prosecutor, a weather-beaten, thorough looking
sailor, stated that on the day named in the indictment he
was coming up Ratcliff.highway, from the India Docks,
when he met the prisoner, who pressed him to give her
something to drink; they went to a public-house toge-
ther, where another woman was introduced ; they both
began larking with him, and coon after, on putting his
hand in his pocket, he found that he was cleaned out. He
then gave the prisoner into custody ; the other woman
got away. . _

The prisoner put in a written defence of which the
following is a literal copy :—" My Lords and Gentn. of
the Gory, 1 am inosent of the charge lade on me, as my
Landlade well nos I reseved a soverin from a sailor the
night before I met the persecutor out of which I pade for
some drink. The persecutor lade with me in the Blew
Lyonn. The persecutor nos :is how I lade out ever so
much money for him because he had not got none himself.
I leave my case in your hands, My Lords and Gentn. of
the Gury."
Two policemen, of the K division, proved that the pri-
soner was known as a regular thief, and that she was dis-
charged from a charge of stealing from the person of a
sailor only last Sessions.—Guilty.
Thomas Large, Henry Cooper, and George Low
were indicted for stealing from on board a boat on the Grand
Junction Canal, near Uxbridge, a flannel frock, a pair of
shoes, 21. 12s. in money, and other things, the property
of Daniel Darby.

The articles were stolen on the 28th Sept., and on the
Ist Oct. the prisoner, Thomas Large, took the frock and
shoes to a public-house in Uxbridge, where he wanted to
sell them. There was no evidence against the other pri-
soners further than that they were seen in company with
Large.

Cage in his defence said he had found the things. He
was found Guilty and the others were acquitted.

CHARLES THE SECOND used to observe,
that of all persons he had ever met, the Clergy of Eng-
land were the most tenicious of their rights, and the most
negligent of their duties. The Clergy of the present
generation have in no way degenerated from the virtues of
their ancestors.

MIcnAELmAs GEESE.—By a wager which
two gentlomen made last week, it was ascertained that
no less than five hundred and three geese were roasted in
Chester on Sunday last.—Staffordshire Mercury.

Government has granted a loan of 160,0001.
for the purpose of completing the Birmingham and Liver-
pool Junction Canal.

The appearance of a celebrated gin-spinner
at a Court is said to have given great umbrage to those
who owe their introduction to spinning-jennies.

In the opinion of Mr. STRICKLAND and of
many others, among whom, we believe, may be numbered
Lords MORPSTII and MILTON, and Mr. RAMSDEN, Mini-
sters will be able to carry their dill without a new crea-
tion of Peers. The strength of the Government, the
firmness of the KINa, and the determination of the people,
they think, will induce many of the Peers to abandon their
hopeless and dangerous opposition. —Leeds Mercury.

LISTON, the comedian, was amongst the
spectators in the Painted Chamber at the House of Lords
on Thursday, when the King prorogued Parliament
Lord BROUGHAM attended his MAJESTY from his carriage
to the Robing-room, and when the CHANCELLOR passed
LISTON, wiio had stationed himself in the fr,nt, amongst
the assembled visiters, the Learned Lord found it extremely
difficult to preserve his gravity.

It appears by the Devonport Telegraph that
the Bishop of EXETER has managed to embroil himself
with the parishioners of Devonport. We have nut room
f r the story, which is a very long one, but the result is
that the Bishop, after promising to abide by the opinion
of Dr. LUSIIINGTON upon a doubtful point, altered his
mind, and now professes to think his own opinion better
than that of the Doctor. The afriir promises to termi
❑ate in an appeal to Parliament.

Mr. E. TEMPLE, a gentleman of fortune re-
siding at St. John's Wood, attempted suicide on Saturday,
by discharging a pistol at his breast. The report brought
some of the family to his assistance, who found him on the
floor weltering in his blood, but cocking another pistol
with intent of snore effectually completing his purpose.
His wound is very dangerous, but hopes are entertained of
his recovery. He refuses to assign any season for the rash
act, and only regrets the attempt was not fatal.

At the Guildford Petty Sessions on Saturday,

pertinent remark to the magistrates, on which the time was
ordered to be doubled. The remaining parties were com-

C 110LERA.—( Extract of a circular published
by Sir GILBERT BLANY.)—As it is another peculiarity of
this dreadful impending disease to require, above all others,
17,n early mid ei;ergetic practice, it is of the last import-
ance, that as many as possible of the community at I irge
should have some knowledge of what should, without a
moment's loss of time, be put in practice, and the first
seizure is so striding that there can be no excuse for delay.
It is important to observe, that there is a certain charac-
teristic which pervades nil the stages of this disease, namely,
that there is a notable prostration of the whole powers of
life, and as this holds true also of those who are moat
susceptible, tbi: practice applies to a diet as weil as med.
pine ;• sa. that those ivhu tan afford it will do
well, idt
order to Malty their constitutions against an attack, to
adopt a generous, but perfectly temperate and moderate
style of life. In case of an actual attack, the proper medi.
cines to have in readiness for administration are tincture
of opium, more commonly known by the name of lauda-
num, which ought to be given in some warm cordial
drink to the amount of about iio drops, that is, a middle

liqupr—brandy has been chiefly recoalinfrided. This
ought to be repeated in two or three hours, by which
time the medical assistance may probably have arrived.
In the mean time a hot bath ought to be prepared, and
some hot nourishing broth. The rem, dies on which most
dependence has been placed next to those above mentioned
are calomel, in the dose of 20 grains,
and bloodletting.
Among the secondary remedies may be mentioned some of
the essential oils, such as that of peppermint and cajoputa:'
