Yesterdax Thomas Warren, a low-looking fellow, was
brought betofe 1%-lenm I_AING and ROGERS, by Nesbet,,
the •:?tlicer; charged by liliiallieth Warren, his wife, a well-
looking young worrian, With having tlfireatened her life.
It appeJtc4l ftorii the statement of the complanant that
she separated front fbq vrisoner about eight years ago,
when she procured a sitnatjon as servant, in Regent-
:tqUare; and she heard nothing of hirti .sntil a few days
since, when e.ci at the house of her master., and im-
portuned her to live 50.til Mrsragoin, which she refused
to do, when he made a great olsti:Olsance, and swore that
when lid tai_ight her outside lie would luifo hir life. The
prisoner was a destqsinte man, and she had aldettained
that since he had left bet ti!" bad been cohabiting with
her own mother, by whom he had three ghildren.
Mr. ROGERS asked him what he had io Pay in his de-
fence. Prisoner.—=l consider as how she is no wife of mine.
Complainant. —I was lawfully married to him.
Prisoner—That's nothing! I have icft you more than seven
years, and that ere makes it null and woid.—(Laughter.)
Mr. Roolias.—Wife or no wife, can you swear that
you go in bodily fear? Complainant.—l can, your Worship.
Mr.ROGERS.—Then he must find good bail to keep the
peace towards her and all his Majesty's subjects.
Yesterday Miss Jane Abbott came to this office, accom-
panied by her brothers, to state her determination to prose-
cute John Wishart for bigamy.
Bayliss, the officer, stated that lie had made enquries,
and ascertained that the prisoner had married no less than
five wives. One, the widow of an officer in the West Indies,
and his first wife, was married to him in Glasgow.
Mr. ROGERS said it would be difficult and expensive to
bring the necessary witnesses to prove the first marriage.
A friend of Miss Abbott's said that she had been most
villainously treated by the prisoner. Her father and mother
had recently died. She was a well-disposed industrious girl,
and her peace of mind had been destroyed, and the prisoner
had left her pennyless, and she had no money to prosecute
the case ; and since her marriage with the prisoner, her
health was exceedingly affected.
Mr. ROGERS concurred that it was a most infamous pro-
ceeding, and sympathized for her, saying that nothing should
be wanting on his part to bring the prisoner to condign
punishment, and he advised her to apply to the parish offi-
cers to support the prosecution. The prisoner now stood
committed for bail on the case of assault, and she might
depend upon it he should not be liberated unless lie pro-
cured the most responsible bail.
Miss Abbott thanked Mr. Rogers, and said that she had
been driven to the greatest distress in consequence of the
prisoner's conduct towards her, and that it was a pity such a
man should escape with impunity.
Mr. ROGERS said ho richly deserved punishment, and he
suggested that she should go forthwith to the parish officers
which she promised to do, and she quitted the office wit h
her friends, deeply affected.

MARYLEB ONE.
Four young men, named Edward Loveland, Isaac Dod-
man, alias Seymour, William Green, and John Spencer,
were charged with having been found with a quantity of
counterfeit penny pieces, and implements for coining the
same, in their possession.
It appeared from the evidence of Sergeant Harrison, D
14, that, having received information of a robbery com-
mitted in Oxford-street, in which he suspected Dodman
was concerned, he went that morning in search of him,
and at a place called Whitehall, St. Giles's, on entering a
back room leading from tke yard by a ladder, he found
the four prisoners ; the two first standing by the fire, and
the others standing by a window. On seeing him Love-
land began to stir the fire, and at the same
bonamomet
dropped somethin7, which on picking up he found to
pewter piece in the form of a penny, and quite hot. Sus-
pecting that they were coiners he made a search, and on
the floor found four similar pieces, and on the mantel-piece
two plaster of Paris moulds, and another piece. By this
time Dodman had put on a clean shirt, and laid down the
one he took off. He then told them they wore his pri-
soners, and took up the dirty shirt, when there dropped
from out of it five counterfeit penny pieces. He again
searched the room, but finding nothing more handcuffed the
prisoners, and brought them to this office.
The prisoners, who denied all knowledge of the base
coin, were remanded.
Yesterday seven labourers, employed on the London and
Birmingham railroad, named John Phillips, IV. Jarvis, J.
Collard, W. Clark, J. Glover, C. Putney, and C. Jaggard,
were charged with havingput a stop to the works by striking
for higher wages.
The prisoners, and about forty others, who were em-
ployed at Willesden in carting away the earth, suddenly
struck that morning for an advance of ls. per week to their
wages. This demand being objected to they refused to go
to work, in consequence of which a number of excavators
and horses remained unemployed, causing great loss, as well
as the temporary stoppage of the work. The prisoners
were selected as the most clamourous, and lodged in the
station-house.
The prisoners having expressed great contrition for their
conduct, were allowed to depart on a promise to resume their
,loyment immediately.

The remains of the late .Miss Vaughan, of Man-
chester-square, were interred on Tuesday in the family
vault in Hertfordshire, Sir James Cockburn and Sir James

Hamilton being the chief mourners.
Among the number of convicts who have been re-
moved from Newgate to the hulks was Mr. George Ed-
wards Peacock, the solicitor, whose sentence of death has
been commuted to transportation for life.
HORSE FLESH IN the year 1825,
the board of health having acquired proof that the horse
flesh, sold for the dogs, was habitually also used by
the
poorer classes ; and considering the article to be well-
tasted and nutritious—that the workmen of Montfaucon
throve upon it, and that military men have often been glad
enough to get it—proposed to regularize the sale, by open
permission, and the establishment of horse butcheriesi,
whore sound animals alone should be slaughtered. Ths
proposition was not approved, and the subject was for that
time dropped. In 1822, and from thenceforward to 1830,
an individual having obtained permission to introduce
horse flesh into Paris for the use of the wild beasts at the
Jardin des Plantes, sold enormous quantities to the poor,
in the Faubourg St. Marcel. Accordingly, in the dis-
tress which followed the revolution of 1830, the project
of an open and lawful sale of the article was again
brought forward ; but it was considered that society
having by common consent refused the flesh of this
animal there must be something inherently disgusting
in its use ; and the idea was again rejected. The
author, however, adds—" I have, notwithstanding my-
self acquired a perfect proof, that a larger quantity of
horse flesh was never consumed than during the last winter.
The workmen, out of employment, were in the habit of go-
ing to the knacker's yard, where it was given to them in
any quantity they desired, without their troubling them-
selves with inquiries into the causes of the animal's death.
It was sufficient that the meat looked well, in order to be
put aside for distribution. The Commissary of Police for
the quarter of Saint Martin declared that "horse flesh was
notoriously sold, at several restaurateurs, at four sous per
pound ; and that when it could not be brought into town
in open day, it was, during the night, and at an appointed
time and place, thrown over the walls in large quantities,
and immediately taken away. This, he adds, is practised
every day." To complete this sketch, we have only to re-
peat the doctor's assertion, that " he never attended the
depot for knacking' the dead dogs and cats of Paris, with-
out finding some of both species prepared for the spit ; and,
he asks, aro these intended for the use of the workmen
themselves, or are they sold in the city ?"
NEW SOUTH WALES.—We have received Sydney
papers to the 28th of July, which state the colony to be in
a prosperous condition. The last half-yearly dividends of
the Bank of Australia were 104 per cent., and of the Bank
of New South \Vales, 9 per cent. Sheep and cattle were
fetching high prices, the former 21. 7s. per head, and the
latter 121. 15s. Eight years back, sheep were sold at `2s. 6d.
a head, and cattle at 21. Iron has been sold at as much as
18/. a ton. In the month of July the colony was visited
by a heavy fall of snow, an event of very rare occurrence,
and many of the younger inhabitants had never seen snow
before. In the neighbourhood of Bathurst it lay 12 inches
deep, and the winter is described as cold as in England.
More rain had fallen than had been experienced for twelve
years, so that the earth was thoroughly soaked, and much
gond was anticipated by the farmers. The roads, however,
are described as being in a shocking condition. We regret
to see that resistance is making by the Tory faction, even
in Sydney, to stifle an attempt to diffuse the blessings of
education among all classes, regardless of religious distinc-
tion. A petition has been presented to the Governor by
the Protestants, inveighing, in no measured terms, against
the folly o( enlightening the ignorant who happen not to be
Protestants 1 The markets are abundantly supplied with
wheat, at an average price of Os. 6d. per bushel ; but but-
cher's meat, from the avidity to purchase stock, is rather
high, beef and mutton being 54d. per lb. A Union Assur-
ance Company has been established, and with great success.
The policies have been equal to 90,000/., and the losses
none, giving the proprietors an adequate profit for their
capital invested. A Bill for taking a new census of the
colony has passed the Legislative Council. The Bishop of
Australia had arrived at Sydney, and was congratulated by
all classes. A Company has been established to assist emi-
grants on their first arrival, which promises much advantage.
The price of land was everywhere rising, and the demand
for good location 4 numerous.
