The last letters received frcm America by Mr.
Kemble's friends stated that Pierce Butler, Esq., of Phi-
ladelphia, was the gentleman to whom Miss Fanny Kemble
was to be married. Mr. Charles Kemble's family remain-
ing in this country are to depart immediately for the United
States.

The convict establishment at Plymouth will
be broken up at the end of the present year.
On Wednesday last, at 12 o'clock at noon,
Air. Henry Young, and three professional gentlemen, were
on their way to Richmond in a pbaeton and one: within
ten minutes' drive of the Green the reins broke near the
bit, and the horse suddenly took fright, and sprang for-
ward at a most rapid pace. Mr. Young, who drove, de-
termined to keep his seat; but the three other gentlemen
sprang from the vehicle, leaving Mr. Young in, whom
they entreated to follow their example. The horse kept
the same pace for about a quarter of a mile, when, coming
into contact with a gate leading into a field, he made an
attempt to leap over, but the shafts of the vehicle striking
against one of the posts, it was shattered to pieces, and
111 r. Young, who had all this time kept his seat, was
thrown with great viulence against one of the iron braces
of the gate, and received a most severe wound in his fore-
head. One of the three gentlemen above mentioned had
by this time overtaken him, and found him its a state of
complete insensibility. With the assistance of some work-
men, who were in an adjacent field, he was conveyed to
a neighbouring house, when a medical gentleman Was
promptly in attendance, and every remedy applied; but
we are sorry to say that there is very little hope of his
rocovery. The other gentlemen escaped with little or no
injury.

entered tho parlour in a very filthy state. The
gentleman finding it very inconvenient either to sit
or stand, thought proper to lie down at full length
on the hearth-rug, where he soon forgot the adven-
tures of the night in a heavy sleep, from which the
iespectable part of the corn-cutter's family disturbed
him, in order to transfer him to the more appro-
priate air of the station-house. This, however,
would not have been done if the corn-cutter had not

kicked up such a row in the house that it was
thought necessary to put both in the same place of
entertainment. Upon being brought to the Justice-
room they looked as if they had been rolling in the
same kennel.
The mother-in-law of the corn-cutter had no coin-
plaint to make against Mr. Arnott, who had been
guilty of no offence greater than that of daubing the
rug on which he had lain like a hog with his dirty
clothes. The other defendant, however, who was
in the habit of annoying his wife whenever he got
drunk, was doubly offensive on the present occa-
sion, and assaulted the witness when she expostu-
lated with him.
The LORD MAYOR asked what the defendants
had to say, if they were able to say any thing ?
Mr. Arnott said it was quite a mistake to say he
was drunk. He was perfectly sober, upon his
honour.
The LORD MAYOR—Where did you happen to
meet with your companion ?
Mr. Arnott stared at his little dirty associate, and
said—Meet this person. 'Pon my honour I don't
know on earth. I know nothing of him, my old
boy.—(Great laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR—You are still drunk, sir,
and I shall send you back until you come to your
understanding and a proper sense of your disgraceful
situation.

The corn-cutter--I can tell your Lordship I met
him on the night crawl this morning, in a public-
house in the garden, and after we lashed for some
time, I say, Simmons, my boy, says he, we'll go to
another crib, and [Rive a little more. So we went
down to the house of a fighting-man, and there we
had a matter of five bowls of hot punch and plenty
of steamers, and as we were blowing our backy,
what does he do but he makes one of the pugilistics
a present of three sovereigns. So after this dose
we were neither of us fit for much, so we went off
in a cab ; but the blackguard cabman had been
lushing about, and we hadn't got far when he spilled
us into the mud. Well, my Lord, whenever I get
my whack, off I go to the City, to see my children,
and I thought it too bad to leave my learned friend
in the dirt, so I brought him to my mother-in-law's,
to dry him.—(Great laughter.) Upon that my wife
and she kicked up a rumpus, and sent for an officer,
and here we are, two wretched unfortunate maniacs,
before you.—(Laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR asked Mr. Arnott whether he
had any recollection of the places in which he had
been drinking ? The defendant shook his head, and
said—No, my Lord; but I believe—that is, I think—
I took a little too much of something.—(Laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR—I dare say you paid for the
entertainment ? Mr. Arnott—Very likely. I re-
member I had 8/. or 9/. in my pocket, and I haven't
a farthing now; but, I say Peter, what's all this to
you ? What right have you to ask me these ques-
tions ?—(Laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR—Why you are an unfortunate
man, fallen among persons who are not fit for you
to associate with. You are evidently suffering from
the remains of some powerful stimulant, and I wish
to ascertain whether you were what is called
" hocussed."

The corn-cutter—He spent his money as he went
from house to house on the night crawl.--(Great
laughter.) I am a respectable man, but unfor-
tunately my wife and I differ on that subject.—
(Laughter.) I have been treated ill by her and her
family, and I never think of going near her except
when I am drunk, and my learned friend and I were
rather malty this morning, or I would not have
stretched his body before her fire.
Two gentlemen, friends of Mr. Arnott, having
assured the Lord Mayor that the defendant was a
very respectable person, his Lordship allowed them
to take him home, upon the promise to oblige him
to come forward next day. The other defendant,
who wasa.ccused of having threatened his mother-in-
law, was remanded.

Yesterday the corn-cutter was again put to the
bar, and Mr. Arnort kept the promise made by his
friends.

The LORD MAYOR asked the latter whether he
could king anything of the occurrence to his re-
collection.

Mr. Arnott burst into tears. He had not, he
declared, the most remote idea of what had oc-
curred, after he had transacted some business on
Tuesday in the neighbourhood of Lincoln's Inn-
fields. He had an idea that he had entered two
corner public-houses, but where he could not tell, or
whom he saw and sat with he had no notion. He
begged pardon of his Lordship for the disrespect-
ful language he had used on the preceding day, and
he apologised to the lady on whose hearthrug he
had laid himself. He felt deeply ashamed of the
night's adventure, and was most willing to aid the
poor-box to any extent that might be desired.
The corn-cutter—lt won't do to say in this case
as the toast says—" May the evening's amusement
bear the morning's reflection." I am very sorry,
my Lord, for disturbing my wife and mother-in-law,
and I hope you will look over it, my Lord. lam
going down to the country.
The LORD MAYOR—To cut corns ? The corn-
cutter—Not exactly to cut them, my Lord. I ex-
tract, without cutting. I am a regular Chiropodist.
I can cure corns of the worst kind without the knife.
The LORD MAYOR—Then a steady hand is not
requisite for your operations ; as for a clear head,
that'a altogether out of the question.
The corn-cutter's mother-in-law said, she never
before heard that he was a cutter of corns.
The corn-cutter—No, how could you, when I
have only lately set up the trade. I don't do much
in town, for introductions are necessary to a profes-
sional man--(Laughter)—but in the country I get
into full business, for no such nonsense is necessary.
The LORD MAYOR—As your mother-in-law swears
she apprehends danger from you, you must find bail.
Committed in default of bail.
The other defendant put down a contribution to
the Poor-box, and departed, evidently with a heavy
heart.

BOTV-STREET.
Yesterday Benjamin Singleton, page to his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cumberland, was brought
before Mr. MINSHULL for refusing to maintain his
male child, of which Ann Short, a well-looking
of youthful appearance, was the mother.
complainant stated that the child was born
on the
lale
27th of June, in the parish of St. Martin-in-
the-Fields, and that., herself and infant had since

become chargeable to that parish. The defendant
was the father of her child.
The defendant made an attempt to deny the
charge, but without success.
Mr. MINSHULL observed that 3s. dd. was the
lowest sum that he would call upon the defendant
to pay.
A sum of 6/. for expenses being demanded, the
defendant declared his inability to pay so large a
sum for expenses, and complained that part of the
demand had been added to the account after a friend
of his, and the steward of his Royal Highness, had
offered bail on his behalf to the amount of 25/. The
offer was made on Friday last, but the parish would
not accept it.
Mr. Rawlings said that the parish could not
compromise the matter in the way proposed. Had
the defendant come forward and met-the case as he
ought to have done, he would have been saved the
expense of sending an officer after him to Kew on
several occasions.
Mr. MlNstrum, asked in what situation of life
complainant was when she became acquainted with
the defendant.

Mr. Rawlings replied that she was in service at
the time.
Mr. MINSRULL asked if the defendant was a
single man.

The defendant replied that he had an insane wife
and two children to support on a salary of 50/, g
year only, and it was, therefore, quite impos,ible for
him to pay 3s. 6d. per week, together with the ex-
penses demanded by the parish, and to which he ob-

jected on the ground he had stated.
Mr. Rawlings, by desire of the magistrates, read
over the items in the bill of expenses, from which
they deducted the sum of ss. 6d., leaving a
balance of 5/. Is. 6d., which included the expenses
incurred at the birth of the child, its subsequent
maintenance, 18s. expenses, and 3s. 6d. in advance
of the weekly allowance.
The defendant paid the money in obedience to
the order of the bench, and was discharged.
A young man, named Samuel Stukeley, was
charged with a double assault, under the following
circumstances :

It appeared that at four o'clock on the day pre-
vious, Thomas Handley and another constable of
the F division were passing with their wives through
Vinegar-yard, Drury-lane, whom the defendant, in

a most unprovoked mariner, shoved against, desiring
them to get out of the way, observing that he paid
taxes for their clothes as well as his own. Two
young men, named Thomas Bradley and Edward
Jones, perceiving the insulting conduct of the de-
fendant, came up and told him that he had done
very wrong, as the constables had not insulted him.
The defendant immediately turned round and struck
Bradley in the face, and s,ibsequently assaulted the
constable Handley, who interfered to keep the peace.
He was then taken to the station-house.
The witnesses Bradley and Jones bore testimony
to the great forbearance of the constables when the
defendant insulted them in a manner so unprovoked
and wanton.

The defendant was fined 5/. for each assault, and
in default of payment, was sentenced to be confined
for two months in the House of Correction.

MARYLEB ONE.

SHOPLIFTING.—Yesterday morning this office
was crowded with people of respectability, all of
whom evinced much anxiety to hear the re-exami-
nation of Mrs. Elizabeth Daws, wife of Mr. Daws,
cabinet-maker and upholsterer, of No. 22, Duke-
street, Bloomsbury, who, on the previous evening,
was brought before Mr. Rawlitison, charged with
stealing and carrying away from the shop of Mrs.
Chester, in Rathbone-place, Oxford-street, a valuable
lady's fur boa, the particulars of which appeared
in our journal of yesterday.
The night charges having been disposed of by the
Magistrate, Mrs. Daws, who throughout the night
had been in confinement at the Marylebone-lane
station-house, was brought up in custody of police-
constable Tipple, 104 E, and again placed at the
bar. The unhappy woman appeared dreadfully
agitated and overpowered by her feelings (which it
was apparent to every one around were of the most
acute and painful nature), and after glancing hastily
and anxiously at the bystanders, covered her face
with her handkerchief, and then burst into a flood of
tears.

Mr. HOSKINS —ls the prosecutrix in attendance ?
Constable—No, your Worship, I believe she declines
coming forward.
Mr. HOSKINS—Then the prisoner must be dis-
charged.
She was accordingly removed from the bar, when
shortly afterwards the police-constable ascended the
witness-box, bringing with him the boa, which was
a very handsome one, tied up in a handkerchief.
Mr. HOSKINS—Let the prisoner be brought in
again.

-Mrs. Daws was accordingly brought into the of-
fice, and resumed her place at the bar.
Mr. HOSKINS again inquired if the prosecutrix or
any principal witness in the case was in attendance,
and was answered in the negative.
Mr. HOSKINS—Where is the shopman who gave
evidence against the prisoner last night ?—Con-
stable—He has been here this morning, your Wor-
ship, and declines doing any thing farther in the
business.

Mr. HOSKINS—Then she's discharged.
Mrs. Daws then quitted the bar, leaning on the
arm of her husband (a •ery respectable-looking man),
who came with her from the station-house, and stood
beside her throughout the proceedings.
