BRIGHTON, DEC. 29.

AIMEN.
Mr. Cobbett, in his Register of Saturday
morning, asserts that a plot has been formed for his destruc-
tion ; arid he acmes, that since the Ist of July last almost hi,.
sole occupation has been to defeat the scheme, and to blow
the conspirators to atoms.
hs.e
is to spread a report that Parto
not tfh e therealScheme,
auth author h
of many
says,rm
of the writings he has put forth under hie name, and that
he has been indebted to his children for a great portion of
the articles which have gained him his celebrity. The
circulation of this report he attributes to the lawyers,
" those ruffians with rusty camlet gowns on their backs,
with briefbags as empty as their skulls, and their skulls
covered with old grey mares' tails." He concludes thus--
" I can conceive nothing more malignant capable of being
engendered in the heart, even of devils. The reader must
be satisfied that such a monstrous lie could not be invented
for nothing. Every one will be satisfied that it must have
had some ulterior object in view. Time will develop that
object completely, and I will as completely defeat it. In
the meantime my constituents, my friends at Manchester
and everywhere else, will now discover the cause why I
have been penned up at Bolt Court for the last four months.
I have not thought it safe to quit it for more than thirty-
six hours at a time, except in one case, and then I was
absent three days. This is the seat of war; it is here that
the battle must be fought, and I am resolved not to quit
the spot until that battle be over."
CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.---There is an
aged woman, about 70, now living in a town in this
county, who has just cut two teeth, and is actually under
the painful process of cutting two more.-- Galway Ad,

DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.—Between one
and two o'clock on Saturday a desperate ►ttempt at
self-destruction was made on Blackfriambridge by an
elderly woman, dressed 1n little more than her night-
clothes, endeavouring to throw herself off the middle recess,
which she would have succeeded in doing had it not been
for some of the passers by timely catching hold of her
flannel petticoat. On being remonstrated with as to the
nature of the crime she was about to commit, she said that
she only lived a few doors down Thames-street, and would
go home immediately and go to bed ; consequently (there
not being any of the police near) she was suffered to de-
part, when, after the lapse of a few minutes she was ob-
served running down the stairs at the city side of the
bridge, towards the water, pursued by a little girl, who
was also in a naked state, and crying bitterly. The pas-
sengers now secured her until s•:une of the city police came
up, when she was taken to the watchhouse, on arriving at
which place she exclaimed, a Oh, I am a mother of ten
children, and am distracted an.d unfit to live any longer in
this world." On the poor little girl being questioned,
she said that the unhappy woman was her mother, and
resided at No. 4, TurnmilLstreet, Clerkenwell_green, and
that her name was Matthews. The child added, that about
eleven o'clock, her father, who is a labouring man, came
home intoxicated, and commenced destroying all the house-
hold furniture, as well as heating her mother, who was
then in bed. The latter got up and left the house in her
night clothes, closely followed by her (the child). The
poor woman, after solemnly declaring that she would not
again attempt so rash an act. was
