A LOVER IN DILEMMA.

At the Chelmsford :Sessions, last week, a I,bouret I, out
Hadle gh r quested an order to see big intended ',ride. who
W,is unfortunately confined in the }bore of Correctioli.A:
Mary's frailties, it appeared, bad assumed a very ",sp=
tion 'Me shape ;" and the officers of Hadlei4h, ‘elPWrsterf
in the eGnsequencei of increasing. population, removed her
to another parish, running all hazards of lo4inp; the honour
of a hero's birth place. " The course of true love never
did run smooth," so Mary walked bAck, as John asserted,
out of pure affection ; and, after a brief sojourn of four
lnotrirrecs,no•as. sent to rusticate a mut.ttli in the If.ouse of
e. tin

The tiench said they never gave an order under suds
eiretnnstaueen

" But I wants 0 as her as how if she'll bein'me." said
John, recollecting that in all his courtship it had never
occurred to him to put that important question.
The Bench remained inexorable, and the heartless hy,
standers only giggled at his disappointment.
" Unutterable things" at this moment stuck in John's
throat, but quickly found an egress at his eyes. He left
the Court, walked down the town, and touk a survey at
the House of Correction, with feelings somewhat similar
to a knight errant reconnoitring an enchanted tottress.
lie then returned, and aga'n attacked the unrelenting
hearts of the Magistrates:—" Pla'e, Zur, do let inc go—
I wants to know if I shall put the banns up,—there's just
three weeks afire she cums out, and then as how we cats
get married and go hom,.—(Laught,r)."
111.1oisretATE—You can send that question in by the
turnkq.—(Laughter.)
Why there may be something in that—thought John,
scratching his head and considering of it, there may be
something in that, but then—

Speak tome only with thine e;e4„

And I will speak with mine,
and all those other little embellishments which ought to
accompany such a question, would he lost—and be, I/113111_
bilious mortal, telt no desire to folio a, the custom of the
potentates of the world, and woo by deputy. lie there-
fore abandoned that idea, for another had sprung up—
" When she cums out, I spore she may cum to our
parish a time we ar as'd ?" inquired he.
" If she does she'll get three months more of it," re-
plied Mr. Archer.
This came like a thunderbolt upon poor John ; he
would venture no more ideas of his own, and when the
Bench suggested that he should put up the banns on spe-
culation—for there was not much pro'lability of Mary's
saying" No,"—he adowed it, and departed with a' heivy
heart to seek for the Church Clerk of Chelmsford,—
Essex Herald.

Earl FORTESCUE is better. In the event of
his death, Sir JAMES HAMBLYN WILLIAMS, of cloven),
Court, is spoken of by the Liberals for the successor of
Lord EBRINGTON in the representation of the northern di..
vision of Devonshire.

CHARLES KEsIBLE and Miss FANNY
KEMBLE realized upwards of eleven thousand pounds
sterling, the first season, by their joint theatrical exertions
in the United States. They have now commenced a
second season, and, apparently, with even increased sac
cess. Mr. PRICE, the proprietor of the Park Theatre,
in New York, by whom Mr. and Miss KEMBLE were
originally engaged, states that the receipts on each night
of their perfarmance have far exceeded his anticipation.
They are not expected in England until next ye.ir.

A fellow, who last week adopted the disgrace-
ful expedient of selling his wift, at Lan,down fair, was
afterwards lodged in Bath gaol for getting drunk with the
money.

THE TRUTH.—We recently saw a letter
from an unfortun de man who had addicted hitnsrlf to
drinking as a solace ; it was to a boon companion, in these
words : " My dear Tom,—l am alone to-night ; come
and help me to destroy myself with some famous brandy."
The note, when shown to us, was six we,hl old, and
posthumous. _

Mr. SAYER, of Catlogan•place, near thi£
town, a gentleman in his 75th year, undertook, far a
'rifling wager, to walk the distance of four miles within.
‘he hour, which feat he accomplished yesterday evening,
n 54 minutes.—Shrewsbury Chronicle.

Considerable briskness is stated to prevail at
the present time in the carpet trade at K,ddertnin!ter.
The hands are generally employed, and the marthlicturers
have been compelled to decline many orders in consequence
of the advance in wool rendering it imp .ss.ble for them to
be executed at the late scale of prices.—Leicester Journal.

The workmen are very actively engaged oil
the new line of toad from Doncaster to York. q way of
A-kern and Selby ; this line will save five miles, and it is
expected to be opened early in 18:3.5. It will then firm

THE LAKES.—The late fine weather has
led many families to these delightful scenes, and the ions,
in the neighbourhood, particularly of Windermere, are
more full of company than they have been for the last e!tt
years.—Scotsman.
A case of cholera occurred at Newport Pagucl
on Friday week. The object was a young man, a dk-
charged prisoner from Colilbath Fields prison, who was
in his journey to the North : he died the foliowine dad.
Several other cases have since appeared, and up to Tours.
day last nine have proved fatal. The National School,
which is detached from the town, has been appropriated
for an hospital. The races arc postponed, and the Mayor
of Northampton has most judiciously taken precaution that
all tramps passing through the town shall be examined,
and that the lodging houses shall be daily visited by the
police.--Leicester Journal.
The King of PRUSSIA has confet red the de.
coration of the Order of the Red Eagle of the third class
(the Ktsic.'s Aides de Camp begin at the fourth only), on
I. KALKI3ItENNER, who is now returning front a musical
tour in Germany, where he has been received, caressed,
and his eminent talents admired in the most enthusiastic
manner in all the towns he passed through. This is as it
should be. Royalty, rank, and distinction exalt art,
stimulate genius, and do honour to themselves, their age,
and country by such encouraging marks of taste and
approbation.
The Highlands of Scotland have experienced
a f, iendly invasion of visitors front all parts of Britain
during the present summer. So great has been the influx,
that much difficulty has been encountered in providing
" entertainment for man and horse" at tke little High-
land inns. Amongst the freaks of ton, it is not impre.
balite that an excursion in the terra incognita of the
North may become even more " fashionable" than a
sojourn amongst the vine-covered hills and gay regions
of Fame.

DREADFUL SUICIDE.—On Saturday morn=
ing considerable alarm was excited in the Royal Artillery
Hospital, Woolwich, iu consequence of a patient named
Al'Gread being missing. Search was immediately made
in all directions, when, horrible to relate, the unfortu-
nate man was found in a privy in the hospital ground,
with his head almost severed from his body, and qui:,
dead. S 1 determined was be to effect his purpose that
he actually took off his coat and waistcoat, and tied the
razor, which was the instrument of death, tight round
his arm. 'The unfortunate man has ken in the hos-
pital for the last five months with a broken leg, and
was up to the time of his death just enabled to walk
with a stick. The body has been removed to the dead-
house, where it waits the Coroner's inquest. Na cause
can he assigned for the rash act.
CITY REGISTRATION.--The total number
of votes registered in the verious parishes of the city of
London is 8,011. The greatest number in any one parish
is MO (St. Botolph, Bishopsgate); the next in Riint of
numbers are those of St. Giles Cripplegate, St. Biu-olph
Aldeate, St. Botolph Aldersgate, St. Bride's, and St.
Dunstan's, Fleet-street. The 'Temple, Inner and Middle,

stated t, be four (?)
THE LORDS JUSTICES.—The PRIMATE,
the LOAD CHANCELLOR.; and Sir HUSSEY VIVIAN, the
Commander of the Forces, have been appointed Lords
Justices, in the absence of the Marquis of ANGLESEA.
We regret to have this week to record the
death of Mr. W. ATKA risos, innkeeper, of Sheffield, of that
dreadful disease, hydrophobia. Having some property to
disttr”e of at York, he proceeded to that city on Monday,
and, after an interview with his solicitor in the evening, he
retired to bed, his throat being swelled, the effect, as he
imagined, of cold, and for which i:e took sonic restora-
tives provided by the relative at whose house he was
staying. Not being better in the morning, he went to
the surgeon who attended the family (Mr SwiticAtto),
arid l called
who, on hearing the symptoms, felt convinced that Mr.
AMINsON was afflicted with symptoms of hydropliosiii.
He told him to go home and go to bed, when Alr., S. im-
mediately visited him. To que•tions from thatwge,,t_ts trialitu,
