Lips you had Letta•r make it a thousand one, and
'hen it will agree with the number of stories in the
Arabian Nights.—(Laughter.) Is there any person
present who can prove that the complainant was
drunk when he gave charge of the accused ?
Inspector Sanders of theP division said, that when
the complainant came to the station he was decid-
edly the worse for liquor.
Complainant—l could take 1,000 oaths I was not.
Mr. CHAMBERS then questioned the complainant
,; to the quantity he had drunk from the time he
left the house of Mr. Davis, at Greenwich, until he
.2.ave the prisoner into custody, and the result was
an admission on h s part that he had taken nine
•lasses of sherry wine without having had dinner.
When asked whether he had taken any wine at the
house where he received the 401., he replied, " No,
f had no wine with Mr. Young—not an iota, I
can declare."

In accounting for his time from the moment he
'eft the King's Arms until he returned and gave
[he ostler into custody, the complainant intended to
have gone to Norwood, instead of which he changed

his mind, and went into a house, where he had a
.glass of sherry and water, read the newspaper,
and afterwards went to the King's Arms and missed
he 401.

Mr. Jackson, the proprietor of the King's Arms,
stated that the prisoner had been upwards of eight
yea:s in his service; he had been in the habit of
trusting him with large sums of money, and uni-
formly found him strictly honest. He was con-
vinced he was perfectly innocent of the alleged
charge. The witness added that he saw the com-
plainant when he charged his man, and be was de-
cidedly intoxicated at the time.
Complainant—l have no objection to let the mat-
ter end here, as Mr. Jackson has so high an opinion
of his man. The worst of the case is the exposure
in the newspapers. It is an act of injustice to say I
was in liquor.
Mr. CHAMBERS said that the fact of his being in-
7oxicated was sworn to by three persons, and he was
bound to believe their oaths.
The parties then left the office.

Since the arrival of Earl GREY at his seat at

[owick, he has keen received with the greatest enthusiasm

,y the gentry of his native county, whose battle he fought,

:when Mr. Cicam.Es GREY, against the powerful Duke of

NORTHUMBERLAND, the champion of Anti-reform prin-
ciples in the North. The Noble Earl has intimated that
Ids MAJESTY has been pleased to allow him to name three
gentlemen to be created Baronets: they are expected to be
the Noble Earl's college acquaintances—Mr. IIIiADLAN,
of Larkin; Mr. C. WILLIS flrreorc, of Stanhope Castle ;
ind Mr. RODDAM, of Boylichope.
Most of the Cabinet Ministers are now at
their seats in the country, where it is understood they
will remain for a month or six weeks, when they will re-
assemble. Earl GREY is at Howick Hall, in Northum-
berland. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE at Bowoid, in
Wiltshire. The LORD CHANCELLOR at Brougham Hall,
in Westmorland. The Earl of CARLISLE at Castle Ho-
ward, in Yorkshire. The Duke of RICHMOND at Good-
wood. Sir JAMES GRAHAM at Plymouth. Mr. CHA'.
GRANT at Inverness; and Mr. STANLEY at his residence
in the Phoenix Park, Dublin. Viscounts GODERICH,
Aurinaitr, PALMERSTON, arid MELBOURNE, are the only
Cabinet Ministers now in London. Viscount MEI.-
soußses patrimonial seat is at Brocket Hall, near Hert-
ford, a distance of only twenty miles from the metropolis,
which enables his Lordship to pay occasional visits there.
Since Lord PALMEMTON has been intrusted with the ma-
nagement of our foreign policy he has seldom visit, d his
beautiful villa at Broadlands, near Romsey, in Hampshire.
MR. COBBETT AND MR. ATTWOOD.—
The currency duel between those gentlemen begin on
Tuesday last. Mr. Arrwoon on the first day spoke f,,r
five hours, at the end of which the dispute was adjourned
until Wednesday. A lerer from Birmingham of the date
of that day, says that Mr. ATTWOOD had not then con-
. . .

,luded, and that Mr. JONES was to he heard on the ssme
side before Mr. Cots Err could reply. It is therefore pro-
bable that the question is not decided even at the present
time. A vast number of persons from the great towns of
Lancashire, fill every day Mr. BEAanswoaTn's Reposi-
tory, which is the arena of this great wordy contest.
On Wednesday, North Duffield, near Selby,
was visited by a thunderstorm, which, though unaccom-
panied by much rain, excitsd considerable alarm at that
place. A barn, belonging to Mr. H. CARR was struck
by the electric fluid, and one of the doors was shivered to
awns.— York Courant.
