HATTON. GARDEN.

A labouring man, named Samuel Harrison, was
charged under the following circumstances:—
On Monday night, Mr. Semple, a surgeon, was
sent for, in great haste, to attend the defendant,who
was lying at Islington-green, and apparently labour-
ing under an attack of cholera. Mr. Semple felt
his pulse, which was quite regular, and soon die.

placed He
Hos-
pital, and there put into a hot-bath, after a quart of
blood had been taken from him. '1 he prisoner, on
hearing this gradually opened his eyes, and uttered
a deep sigh. After the truck had proceeded a little
way, urged by the fear of losing a quart of blood,
he jumped from it, and ran off with great speed. He
was pursued and taken into custody.
The prisoner, in his defence, said be did not feign
the " cholery," but he was seized with a fit.
The Magistrates ordered him to find bail.

In the list of Noble proprietors of nomination
boroughs published yesterday, the name of the Marquess of
Cholmondeley appears. This, we are assured, was an error, as
his Lordship is not, and never has been, the proprietor of a
borough,

It is said that the Marquess of Hertford in-
tends to prolong his residence at Naples until the advance of
the summer; so that although his Lordship has placed his
proxy at the disposal of the Opposition leaders, it will not again
become available until the third reading of the Bill.
Great complaints are made of the dryness of
law and lawyers, yet they ought certainly to be the wittiest of
men, as all their pleadings commence with an invocation--
to wit.

Mr. James, the popular author of " Philip
Augustus,".'c Darnley," &c. has just produced a work calculated
to increase his well-earned reputation, " The Memoirs of Great
Military Commanders." Taste and research are united in this
produCtion, which tells of the martial achievements of almost
all the heroes of Europe, including narratives of the gallant
exploits of our own glorious Henry in France, of those of the
Regent Bedford, sullied by the brutal sacrifice of the heroic
Joan of Arc, of the brilliant successes of Turenne, and the
great Conde ; of the wonderful career of the subtle and mys-
terious Cromwell, and of the romantic incidents in the life of
the great Captain Gonzales de Cordova, equal to any invention
of the novelist. In more modern times, we are interested by
the glorious victories of Marlborough, Prince Eugene, Peter-
borough, and of the immortal Wolfe. What a catalogue of
soul.stirring names: What an imperishable fame have they
not earned for themselves ! This work must become popular.
We believe that the first instance on record of
a Hindoo bringing ass action for damages for a breach of pro-
mise of marriage, occurred in the Supreme Court on- FridaY
last. The action was brought by the mother of the boy against
the father of the girl; and evidence was given to show the ex-
penses that had been incurred by the mother, in the expecta-
tion of the marriage contract being fulfilled. The plaintiff was
nonsuited, the Court being of opinion that the evidence WO
not sufficient to entitle her to recover. It was observed .by the
Chief Justice, that even if he had felt compelled to give a ver-
dict to the plaintiff; he should have thought it much better,
while the usages of the natives of this country remain so veil
different from our own, that all matters connected with their
religion and religious ceremonies should be kept oat of the
Supreme Court. We omitted to mention, that the marriage of
both the contracting parties took place on the day originallf
_fixed for the wedding, the bride and bridegroom only being
changed.—lndia Gazette.
