MA RLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Mr. Nevite Daniels, n surgeon-dentist, residing at No.
20, Albert-terrace, Bayswater, was brought before Mr.
Bingham, charged with having been drunk and disor-
derly in Oxford-street.
Police-constable 271 D stated, that on Saturday night
about ten o'clock, he was on duty in Oxford-street, when
he saw the prisoner sitting on the step of a door, near
the Scotch Stores, in a state of intoxication, bawling as
loud as be could for a cab. A cabman left the
stand, and asked defendant if he wanted a
cab to convey him home ? Defendant told him
he did not, and be had better be off. Another
cabman then came up, and asked defendant what
he was going to stand? Defendant then put himself in
a fighting attitude, and told the cabman to take it out
of that, at the same time pushing his fists in his face.
Witness, seeing that he was incapable of taking proper
care of himself, conveyed him to the station.
The defendant, in an excited wanner, said, with all
due deference to the magistrate, he begged to deny inde-
fatigably the charge of drunkenness. He had been
spending the evening at the Scotch Stores, when on
leaving he was assailed by the cabman end some other
persons, one of whom set a dog at him. He was much
excited at this, but he denied being in liquor.
Mr. BINGHAM said, whether defendant was drunk or
not he could not tell, but if he conducted himself on
iaturday night as he had done in the court, he (Mr.
Bingham) had no doubt of his drunkenness, and should
fine him ss. accordingly.

BATTY'S EQUESTRIAN TROUPE

IN HULL.
The good people of Hull have been regaled these
last two weeks with Batty's celebrated troupe of
equestrian artists, whose unrivalled talents astonished
and delighted a thoroughly wide-awake Yorkshire
audience at the Queen's Theatre, on Monday evening,
October Ist.

The opening piece selected for the occasion was the
grand mili'ary spectacle of Moollan and Goojerat,
embracing a stud of highly trained steeds from the
" Astley stud," and produced under the auspices of
Mr. Caple and his dramatic corps, who at present
occupy the lesseeship of the above theatre; and so
great indeed was the reception of this magnificent
spectacle, that it was received with thunders of
applause from all parts of a densely crowded house,
and the efforts of Mr. Batty were crowned with
reiterated approbation, which was duly merited,
seeing that he ordered all the wardrobe properties and
appointments from his London theatre, in order to
throw in all that spirit, energy, and effect that so
prominently characterizes his magnificent London
establishment, and we are happy to say that the tout
ensemble was not only highly successful, but was
greeted with the loudest approbation from a delighted
and applauding audience.
Among the many male and female artists of the
arena who had the honour of making their debtit in
Hull, we were much pleased to see some of our old
London favourites. Madame M'Carte, that highly-
finished and talented lady equestrian, completely
took the Yorkshiremen by storm, while Madlles.
Valentine and Lafayette particularized themselves by
securing a good round share of the well earned plaudits
of a crowded house. Messrs. Moseley, Antoine, Mil-
ner, Bridges, &c. &c., and last. although not least, the
clever little manoeuvring clown, Mr. Wheels, attracted
by their superior abilities the generous approval
of a gratified public. Above all, however. we
must not omit stating the pleasure we
feel in finding the great personal respect the public
seems to hold for the character of the ever•enterprising
Mr. Batty. For ourselves, we know not whether to
admire him most as a man whose strict honesty and
integrity has gained for him the estimation of a great
number of many warm and sincere friends, or as the
straightforward, bard-pushing, speculating manager,
whose care seems to be the finished development of
the equestrian art upo❑ a scale of scientific munifi-
cence.

GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN RAILWAY.—
This line, as was expected, will not be open to the
Blackpool terminus before the 29th instant, on which
day the London and Dublin mails will arrive two and a
half hours earlier than at present. The arrival of the
mail will cause an alteration in the departure of all the
country mails from this city—a dispatch which will be
of considerable importance to corn dealers and traders in
the several towns throughout the county. It is also
understood that the Post-office authorities intend to do
away with the mail car from Cork to Youghal, which
has been the source of great annoyance to the gentry
and inhabitants of the several towns between this city
and Waterford. By the present plan letters posted in
Cork must go to Waterford, and from that city thence
to Lismore, causing a serious delay by this long and
tedious route. His Grace the Duke of Devonshire,
since his arrival at Lismore, has been in constant com-
munication with the Post-office authorities on this
subject, representing the injury resulting by the present
conveyance, and suggesting the propriety of running a
coach and four horses direct from Cork to Waterford, as
heretofore. The rt ques► of his Grace will, it is believed,
be acceded to, and of the advantage of it there cannot
be a second opinion—Cork Examiner.
On Wednesday, Captain Lane, of Bury, was
elected Governor of the newly-erec:ed borough gaol at
MAnchester.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.—On Thursday
afternoon week, whilst a young gentleman was out on
Windermere hike, near GraythwAite, in a sail boat, a
whirlwind caught the sail, and she swamped and went to
the bottom. Fortunately the young gentleman had a
life-preserver upon him, with which he kept up till an.
other boat could be procured to rescue him f rom his
perilous situation.
At Glasgow, on Wednesday night, two la, is, who
slept in a rocm in which a fire had been left bu ruing to
dry the newly-plastered walls, were suffocated by the
noxious fumes of the coals. Au unfortuna to lark,
whose cage had been placed in the room, shafted their
fate.

CLIARTERVILLE, MINSTER LOVELL.—We hear that
distraints hive lately been put in for the non-pay-
ment of rent due from several of the allottees on this
estate to the owner, Mr. Fesrgus O'Connor..—Oxford
Journal.

The sensations of joy felt on approaching the home
of a beloved one, are like the twilight of morning before
the sun has become visible.—Eliza Cook's Journal.
