CONJUGAL MISERY.—A coachmaker, named
Doughty, was charged by his wife Jane with having
on the day before ill-used her and threatened her
life. The wife who is a respectable looking person-
age, stated in tears that she had been obliged to
leave her husband and take refuge at the house of
her friends, in consequence of his continual ill treat-
ment. On the day before he came to the house of
her sister in Bethnal-green, and, because he was
refused admittance, he broke several panes of glass,
and threw mud upon the windows, which brought
together a mob of from 300 to 400 people.

give me time. In the first place that woman is

What have you to say to breaking her sister's

Then you must go to prison.—Very well.

EXTENSIVE BURGLARY.—The Magistrates were
engaged for some time in investigating the circum-
stances attending an extensive burglary in the house
of a gentleman named Morris, in Assembly-row,
Stepney. On Friday night, Mr. and Mrs. Morris,
on returning from a party, found that an entrance
had been made into their bedroom from an unoccu-
pied house next door, by boring a large hole through
the party wall. Wearing apparel, jewellery, and
plate, to the amount of one thousand pounds, was
carried off. Suspicion fell on a servant and a young
man, who had been observed lurking about the
house ; but as there was no direct evidence against
the parties, they were remanded.

REVIVAL OF TRADE.—The trade of Frome
is on the increase. The manufactories are fully em-
ployed, and the looms generally in active operation.
Fewer names are on the extra lists of the poor's books
than have been known for a considerable time, and it
is confidently reported that the poor's rates will be less
in amount this year by one-half than last.—Bath Chron.

A dreadful accident happened yesterday
evening, between six and seven o'clock, off Turpin's-road,
south of Blackfriars•bridge. A wherry, having three
gentlemen and three ladies, coming with the tide, came in
contact with the barges lying off Turpin's.road, when the
boat went down. Unfortunately, two ladies and two
gentlemen were drowned, the other gentleman was saved
by the praiseworthy exertions of Edward Williams, plying
at Blackfriars-bridge. The boat belonged to Messrs.
Needham and Judd, of Paul's•wharf.

wood, aged sixty three, the keeper of a chandler's shop

BRUTAL CONDUCT..—It is our painful
duty to record a most disgraceful act of cruelty which
occurred i❑ this neighbourhood on Tuesday evening last.
A respectable female, Mrs. Brown, an inhabitant of the
village of Ab Kettleby, had been on some business to Long
Clawstone, a distance of four miles, and on her return, a
little past seven o'clock, when she had pursued her journey
about a mile and a half, she was accosted by two men,
wh 3 dragged her nearly a mile, and then brought her back
to within eighty or ninety yards of the road from whence
they had taken her; they then rifled her pockets of eigh-
teen pence in silver and threepence in copper, took off her
shoes, tied her hands behind her, put a tope round her
neck, fastened her to a tree, pulled her hair over her head
and face, and in that miserable condition left her. Her
son went to meet her o❑ her return, but, not finding her
proceeded to Clawstone, where he was informed that she
had left that place about seven o'clock ; he then returned
immediately to Alt Kettleby, and, not finding her there,
some friends accompanied him in search of her ; and from
her groans they at length discovered her, quite inton-
sible, and conveyed her home.—Lincolnshire Chronicle.
