CHARGE Or BIGAMY.—I3RABANT ASSIZES, DEC. 27.
—An Englishman, named Dolphin, was charged with
having married a Belgian woman, his former wife, Ann
Nightingale, an Englishwoman, being still alive. The
English was fully proved by the parish clerk of Prest-
wich. Tne first wife deposed that Dolphin abandoned
her in the year 1838, but for some time afterwards con-
tributed to her support. She admitted that she had had
a child by another man, subsequently to her separation
from her husband. Finally, Dolphin was acquitted.—

William Napier Esq., has been appointed Lieute-
nant-Governor of the island of Labuan. Mr. Napier's

experience in the public service at Singapore, of a people
not quite dissimilar to the population of Labuan and
Borneo, will render him a useful assistant to Mr. Brooke,
and a proper substitute in the government of the British
settlement in the occasional necessary absence of the
Raja in the neighbouring territory.
Alderman Musgrave, the chairman of the com-
missioners of sewers for the Tower Hamlets district, has

thought better of his opposition, and has handed over to
the General Sewerage Commissioners for the Metropolis
all the books, papers, cash, Ecc., of the old board. Mr.
Twigg, the chairman of the Holborn and Finsbury dis-
trict, has not himself taken any part in the transfer of
the necessary documents to the new commission, but a
sufficient number of the Commissioners of Sewers for the
district, who are authorised to draw cheques, &c., have
signed the necessary authority, so that all the powers of
the several district boards are now quietly centred in
the now Commissioners.—Observer.

Complicated diseases of the chest are acknowledged
to be the serious, and, too often, fatal visitations of the
masses congregated in the close metropolis. It is,
therefore, gratifying to find that an institution has
been founded by an association of charitable individuals,
expressly for the cure or relief of diseases of the sto-
mach, heart, and lungs, including consumption, asthma,
&c. A temporary dispensary has been already opened
in Leicester-place, under the title of " The Central
Metropolitan Dispensary," and we do sincerely hope
that the objects of its benevolent projectors and sup-
porters will bo fully realised by the liberal patronage
of those who have the means of doing good.
DEATII OF MR. NELSON, T ITE SCULPTOR.—The
sculptor of that exquisitely beautiful statue, " Venus
Attiring," which is now being exhibited in this town,
died on Sunday last, in his 47th year.—Manchester
Guardian.
