MARLB( BOUGH.-STIIEET.—It was stated ye;,te•-
day, that the Widow of a cieceat'ed General was io
•custody, charged with bigamy, in having inter-
married With Geuerall.).--, her former husband,
A-7---n, being then and still alive. The prisoner
had been admitted to bail to appear at this re-
examination. The folloWing is briefly the history
of this novel case :—The prisoner had been dir•
vorced froth, her first husband, Mr. A--, a.--
cording to the Scotish Law.; and on the legality
of such divorce a question arose.. They were in.
respectable, if not in affluent circumstances.--
Some time about twelve months ago the deceased ~
General, at the age of SO, became the suitor of
the fair prisoner, whose age was about 35.,' and '
after a sh-ort courtship they were married. • Tha
General died a few months after the marriage, and
bequeathed his property, which was immen,;(!,
to th€ prisOner, to the exclusion of his otl.:. i-
relatives.

The case was truly interesting to the r,irfie.A;
and it excited much phblic curiosity, but we can-,
not give further particulars. Mr. NEVE, the prel-
siding-Magistratc; disiriissed the charge-.

BONV-STRERT.-Yesterday Charles tirheler,
well-known character, was brought to this Odieei
by, Humphreys, charged with having defrauded a
farmer of 601. ,by die stale trick bf picking up a
parcel, ,containing acr'oss, -Accompanied hy a pre-
tended jeweller's bill, in which a. large price was
affixed to it. The credulous ctiuntryman, -sup-
posing the bubble ito be a'diamond cross, as it
was d6igriated in the bill, didLnOt hesitate to give
up all the money he had Aboat liim, for Ai. share
in t=uch a valuable prize whicri, however, he
.ultimately discovered to be worth only, .a few
shillings.

The prisoner was also charged with obtaining
two one one-pound -.totes; from a person in Hat-
tan-pardon, by a simila'r pretence. He was re.
mantled for further examination.

A meeting of tanners, shoe-manafacturci•s; &c.
was held in •Stafrord, on 'Wednesday last, when it.
was resolved to present a petition against the ad-
ditional duty laid on the leather in 'the last l'ar-
lament. And on the following day the ion-
holders of that borough resolved to present a
.petition to Viscount Sidmouth, praying his Lord,
ship to submit to the consideration of his Ma-
jesty's Government, the proprietyof increasing
the allowances now made for soldiers billetted
upon the petitioners.-7-(Birmingharn Chronicle.)
The remains of the late Mr. JERNINGHAM were,
on Wednesday last, .placed in the vaults of.Gros,
venor Chapel, South Audley-street, where the
remains of his mother, Lady SERNINGIIAM, Lad '
also been deposited. Sir GEORGE JERNINGHAN,
Bart. and. EDWARD JERNING HAM, Esq. his ne-
phews, with two younger branches.of the family,
were all who attended. The funeral was very
properly confined to the immediate relatives of
the deceased, for if his higher numerous friends
and connections had been invited on 'the occasion,
the ceremony might have appeared somewhat
ostentatious, however well the departed gentle--
man is entitled to every mark of respect for his,
Inemory.
