A REWARD FOR A GOOD AcrioN.—Mr. Richard
Webb, a gentleman of dashing exterior, was charged with
desperately assaulting Joseph Timrnby, a journeyman
butcher, in Skinner-street.

The complainant, while passing up Brewer-street, Gol-
den-square, on the previous night, observed the prisoner
in a light chaise-cart, with the belly-band of his horse
undone. Complainant cautioned him of hie danger, when
he instantly got out and assaulted him in the most des-
perate manner, by giving him a pair of black eyes.
Mr. RAWLINSON-Was the prisoner intoxicated at the
time? Witness—Vy, your Vorship, be vas rather tosti-
cated in liquor.
Mr. Webb—Your Worship, I must admit that I was
in fault, but I have been what they call very much chafed
by the people both in Skinner-street and Brewer-street,
for it is seldom I can drive along without being insulted ;
some will call out, " Sir, your horse's teeth are falling
out ;" others, " The wheel of your chaise is coming
off "—(Laughter)—and is not that very provoking, your
Worship? Well, thinking the complainant was insolent
to me, I jumped out of the cart and had about a quarter
of an hour's turn up with him—(Great laughter)—but I
am very willing to make any satisfaction to him that he
requires.

IlAwLiNsow—So this is how a man gets rewarded
for doing a good action— (Great laughter)—but as you
are ready and willing to make this man recompense
for the injury he has received, so it shall be, and on those
grounds you,are discharged.
Ms Veht, having handsomely remunerated the cwn-
plainant, quitted the office with his friends.
A very respectable-looking gentleman, who gave hit
name Archibald Campbell, was charged with preaching
in the open air in Steven-street, Tottenham-court-road,
whereby a great concourse of people had assembled. The
policeman told him that he could not be allowed to obstruct
the pavement ; when he replied that it was against the
laws of God to interrupt him while executing his divine
duty, and he should therefore proceed. The policeman
then took him into custody and conveyed him to the station.
house, during which time he never ceased preaching.
Mr. RAWLINSON—What are you ?—I am a gentleman.
Mr. RAWLINSON—WeII, Sir, if you are a gentleman,
you cannot be permitted to obstruct the footpath by preach-
ing. You are discharged under a promise not to offend again.
The prisoner quitted the office.
TO WN-HALL.

A ViaAao.—A respectably dressed female was charged
with threatening to du some serious injury to her bus-
band, the Captain cf a merchantman. The defendant
had lately become addicted to drink, and so disgraced her
husband among his brother Captains that he allowed her
a separate maintenance ; but she, nevertheless, continued
to annoy him. As he was going to his agent in Mincing_
lane, on Friday, he was tapped on the shoulder by some
one, who cried out with an oath, " Avast there, old
skipper ! Curse you, I've got the weather gage of you,
and you shan't go a peg to windward of me now." A
crowd collected, and it was with great difficulty the Cap-
tain got away. On reaching his vessel he was struck
with astonishment to see his wife sitting with great compo-
sure on the companion. " Ah !" she said, " there you are,
oldtar ; you thought to double the Cape, did you ? But
you see my bark carries more canvass than yours. 1 fly
light before the wind." She then commenced calling out
for toddy, and the crews of the adjacent vessels all as-
sembled to see the fun. The poor Captain remonstrated
with his wife, but she swore at him and threatened to
murder him, and he was at length compelled to give her
into custody.—Held to bail.

We learn that the London and Greenwich
Railway Company's engineers commenced operation's on
Wednesday last, between Deptford High-street and Ber-
mondsey. _ _

There is at present near this town a poor boy,
about eight years of age, labouring under the prevailing
epidemic, in whose blood are numerous worms. These
animals have been twice drawn from the arm in bleeding.
They are nearly an inch long, and have lived for several
days in a bottle containing the serum of blood. The pa.
tient is under the care of Dr. BUSHMAN, who considers
them to be the larvae of some insect, and is carefully watch-
ing them, in the hope of a metamorphosis taking place,
and discovering the parent insect.—Dumfries Courier.
THE LATE HURRICANE.—By accounts re-
ceived on Saturday from the country we are informed that
the late gale has done incalculable mischief. In Kent the
orchards have been nearly stripped of their fruit, and many
fine trees have been torn up by the roots. In the neigh-
bourhood of Chatham, Gillingham, and Lower Rainham,
and for many miles around, the trees that were almost
ready tobraepe
akdso,wpeanwrsi, th fruit are now nearly fruitless.
Children have gathered along the roads near orchards
b
plums, &c. So severe a fall at
this time of year is beyond all precedent.
AWFUL SUDDEN DEATH.—The marriage
of a daughter of 11Ir CRAMP, of Foxbush-farm, near
Tonbridge, was appointed to be solemnized at Tonbridge
church at ten o'clock. The friends of both parties were
assembled, and carriages waiting to take them to church.
All was joy and happiness, when Mr. CRAMP, who ap-
peared in perfect health and spirits as he sat in his chair
after having taken breakfast, suddenly fell on the floor,
and expired. His death appears to have been caused by
apoplexy.—Kent Herald.

ATTEMPT AT— MuRDER.—On the even-
ing of Wednesday week, a violent screaming was heard
from a low room in what is called " Dog Yard," in St.
Martin's at OA, Norwich. On an officer proceeding
there, he found a man kneeling upon a woman, and in the
act of cutting her throat with a knife. His hand was
arrested, but not till she had received two severe wounds
in the throat, and her fingers and hands bad been much

THE HAGUE, JUNE 11.
SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES
The order of the day was the discussion of the motion
of M. Van Nes to present an address to the King, re-
questing that the Budget of the expenditure may hence-
forth be divided into separate beads, each to be discussed
and decided on separately. Many Members spoke warmly
in favour of the motion, which was warmly opposed by
others. Some, while they allowed it to be constitutional
and even salutary, thought it was not a suitable moment
to discuss such a subject, and to trouble the King with a
wish, which, during the negotiations on foreign affairs,
might perhaps produce in some places a false impression.
Other Members opposed it as unconstitutional, unadvis-
able, and unnecessary. M. Donker Curtuis in particulat
was an enemy to innovations as dangerous, because they
tended to democracy. M. DAM Van Isselt replied, tha;
Holland is not an unlimited Monarchy, but had a consti-
tutional King; that the people, whose representatives we
are, have rights as sacred as those of the august heed of
the nation ; and that it would be a melancholy prospect
if all innovations were to be rejected, since our institutions
require great ameliorations.—The motion was rejected by
24 to 21 votes; se that it was lost by the small majority of
only three votes.

JUNE 12.—The Second Chamber discussed the pro.
ject of law for placing at the disposal of the Governmen
a further sum for the vote of credit of the 22d Novem.
ber, 1832.

The Minister of Finance first spoke, to give some fur-
ther explanation of the answer made by the Government
to the remarks of the Sections. He said that he had
himself drawn up their answers. The interest of Holland
does not admit of giving the political information required,
but that does not prevent the Government from giving all
possible information respecting the finances, and this it has
done. Retrenchments are made which will take effect
during the present month. They will be followed by
others. Many seamen are already restored to commerce ;
expensive steam-boats are discharged. Not a florin more
will be expended for clothing or arms for the troops—fur-
loughs have already been given to a number of men, and
will be given to more. The Government complies with
the wish of the Chambers to make all possible retrench-
ments; but on account of the state in which Belgium
now is, and our relations with that country, the Govern-
ment cannot enter into further developments of a political
nature.

Several members spoke for and against the proposed
vote. Those who opposed it did so on the ground that
they thought the sum asked far too large, and would have
rejected the motion that the Government might propose
another project, asking for a smaller sum. The Minister
of Finance defended the law, showed the ill consequences
that would result from rejecting it, and added, that the
Government was animated by a wish to make all possible
retrenchments, and that no new Treasury bonds had been
issued for these two months.

The Chamber adopted the law by a majority of 28 to 19,

General Baron Chasse arrived on the 10th, at noon, on
hoard the Batavier steam-boat. General de Kock and
the Governor of the Province, immediately went to Flush-
ing, to Admiral Gobins, that they might proceed together
to pry their respects to the General, but the sea was so
rough that they could not go on board, and the General
himself wishing to go to Bergen-op-zoom, the Batavier
conveyed him to Bath, where, with Colonel De Boer and
another officer of his suite, he went on board the Moendyk
steam-boat, and reached Bergen-op-zoom, on the 12th, at
nine o'clock in the morning. The General was compli-
mented on his landing by the Governor of the fortress,
and the other_ suliesior „officers, ami the inhabitants most
enthusiastically cheered the brave defender of the citadel of
Antwerp. The health of the General seemed to have im-
proved, and his countenance was cheerful. He wore the
Grand Cross with which his Majesty has honoured and re-
warded him. It is supposed be will stop some time at
Bergen-op-zoom.
