W ORSHIP- STREET.

Yesterday M. H. Phillipps, a master boot and shoe
maker, • residing at No. 43, Marshall-street, Westminster,
was charged with assaulting his wife.
The complainant on the preceding evening was at a
church in More-street, Hackney-road, with a friend. On
leaving the place of worship after the conclusion of divine
service the prisoner met her at the door. She for some-
time endeavoured to avoid him, when, on the prisoner.find-
ing that, he laid hold-of her by her shoulder, and in a very
violent rage declared he would have a settlement.
On a question being put by the Magistrate, it was
found that the complain-ant and the prisoner were married
at Shoreclitch Church, on the 18th of May last, and that
they had not lived together. The certificate of marriage
was produced.
Mr. BROUGHTON asked the reason of their having lived
separate ?—The complainant replied, that after they were
married it was agreed that she should remain a month in
her situation. But in three weeks after he called upon her,
when, from his conversation, she suspected that he was
married, and on maling inquiry she ascertained that he had
a wife living at Cork. Upon that discovery she would not

live with him.
Mr. BaouGHToN-7--Did her master know about her mar-
riage ? Prisoner—No. But, Sir, I want to know whether
I am to live as a single or a married man ?
Mr. BROUGHTON—She says you are already married ?
Prisoner—l positively deny it.
Mr. BROUGHTON (to the woman)—Why did you not go
home with him and live as man and wife when you were
married. You certainly have a heart as cold as the wood
you stand upon ? Prisoner—Oh, Sir, she has a notion,
and is ill-advised by her friends. We have been acquainted
some years. Two years ago, after the banns were put up,
she walked seven miles to me to tell me she would not be
married, and in a few days she altered her mind.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Do you mean to live with him ?
Complainant—No, Sir, never.
Mr. BROUGHTON then discharged the prisoner.
After he left the dock a person came forward and stated
that be knew the prisoner was previously married, and that

his wife lived at Cork.
Mr. BROUGHTON said that another inquiry then must
take place, if the parties thought proper to come forward.
THE UNSTAMPED NEWSPAPERS.—HandIey and Att-
field, two of the officers of this establishment, who have
been appointed by the Commissioners of the Stamp Office
to seize unstamped newspapers, found on the persons of
those who carry them about, intending them for sale, stated
that in the course of their journey on Saturday and Sun-
-day they took near eighty unstamped papers from five dif-
ferent persons ; the papers being issued from various offices.
Some of the persons had stamped papers about them, which
were left. The persons gave their names and addresses,
and promised to attend.
Mr. BROUGHTON directed the officers to act according
to the orders they had received from the Stamp Office.

MARYLE6 ON E.
UNSTAMPED PUBLICATIONS.—Wm. Dix, a genteelly-
dressed young man, was charged with exposing for sale
unstamped newspapers.
Thomas Franklin, an officer of this establishment, said
that about ten o'clock the previous morning he was passing
through Milton-street, Somers-town, when he met prisoner
with a quantity of papers under his arm,• and hallooing
out," Weekly Dispatch, Weekl!. Times." Witness bought
a Weekly Times of him, for which he paid him twopence,
and then took him into custody. In his possession he found
nearly ninety publications, consisting of two London Free
Presses, fifty Weekly Times, thirty Weekly Dispatches, and
three Weekly Police Gazettes.
The prisoner, on promising not to offend again, was dis-
charged, and the papers were ordered to be detained.

MARLBORO U Gil- S TREET.
Miss Matilda May, a brisk young damsel, with a pair
of sparkling eyes, complained to Mr. CHAMARII, that one
William Jennings had, with a carpenter's saw, put her in
grievous bodily fear.
The complainant was just from the country, on a visit to
a lodger in defendant's house. On the day of the assault,
her friend being from home, the defendant attempted to
gain possession of the rooms by nailing up the doors. Her
friend shortly afterwards came home, and on finding the
situation of matters proceeded to regain possession. The
defendant rushed up stairs, brandishing a naked saw, and
vowing he would cut them like so many deal boards if they
did net go out of the house. A sort of running fight en-
sued, in the course of which she received a cut on the neck
with the saw.
The complainant here pulled off her bonnet and dis-
played a couple of punctures on a very white neck, which
she said had been occasioned by the teeth of the saw.
In explanation the defendant said he had let his lodgings
to a Mrs. Phillips, believing her statement that. she was a
respectable married woman ; but having found out that
so many Mr. Phillipses came to pay her a visit he
became alarmed for the reputation of his house, and
accordingly gave her warning. The complainant, who
described herself as a relative from Ipswich, came to
visit Mrs. Phillips ; but she, too, being equally for-
tunate in finding a great many male London ac-
quaintances, he had a violent suspicion that some-
thing was wrong, and at the expiration of the notice he
took summary steps to ensure the ejectment of his
lodgers. Hearing his wife scream murder while he was at
work with his saw, he ran up stairs to see what was the
matter. He found the defendant and two other females
very nearly qualified to personate the " three graces ;" but
Spying him, they assumed a totally different character, and
rushed towards him more like the " three furies," severally
armed with tongs, poker, and fire-shovel. Saw in hand,
according to the defendant's assertion, he stood for upwards
of an hour parrying carte and tierce thrusts from the par-
ties, and cutting right and left at the tongs and utensil
brandishers. Victory was doubtful for some time ; but just
vs his poker assailant was pressing him, en flow, with re-
doubled vigour, he had the luck to put the amazon hors de
combat with a slap of his saw, upon which he was allowed
to remain master of the field.
A good deal of evidence was heard ; but, as the facts
appeared to be substantially as stated, the warrant was
ordered to stand over on condition that the lodgings were
vacated.

NAVAL ANECDOTE.—When the author (Captain
Glasscock) served with the late Lord Collingwood, a Lieu-
tenant onis Majesty's ship C-- had the presumption,
in the presence of the Admiral, to apply the phrase " You,
Sir 1" to one of the after-guard on the quarter-deck. The
Admiral reiterated the offensive appellation, " You, Sir
You, Sir 1" The Lieutenant, at a loss for the Admiral's
meaning, approached his superior hat in hand. " You, Sir 1"
continued the Admiral, etiphatically repeating the -ob-
noxious phrase as he stared the Lieutenant full in the face
—" How do,you, Sir, like to be you sir'd ? That man has
a name as well as you, Lieutenant —."—Glasacock's

FIVE PERSONS DnowNED.--On Sunday morning
last, about 11 o'clock, when it was nearly high water, a
wherry was observed making for St. Helen's Harbour, with
three sails set, the wind blowing very fresh, directly on the
shore. It was observed that she had mistaken the harbour
channel, and as she was going rapidly through the water,
soon struck on the spit of sand which forms the channel,
and immediately broached to and rolled over ; as, the surf
was running very high, no persons could go to their assist-
ance, and all were drowned. The preventive boat pulled
out, and in ten minutes picked up the body of a woman
perfectly lifeless ; and though four other persons had been
seen, yet none could be found, and it was not till the fol-
lowing morning that two other bodies were picked up
nearly a mile distant. The boat belonged to Gosport, and
was conveying Mrs. Ann Matthews, of the Shipwrights'
Arms publicfhouse, Queen-street, Portsea, her nephew,
Mr. H. Derrick, of Gosport, aged 25; a young man of the
name of Devonshire, aged 19, belonging to the dock-yard,
and two Gosport wherrymen, of the names of W. Deafly;
and W. Perryman, to Bembridge ; the bodies of Derrick
and Perryman have been found, and an inquest was held on
Monday, at the Hotel, Bembridge, before Mr. W. Hearn,
coroner for the island, on their bodies, when a verdict of
" Accidental death" was returned.—Hanzpshire Telegraph.
COLBURN'S NOVELISTS.—The next of the perio-
dical volumes (the llth) of this interesting series of the
best modern fictions is announced, we observe, for the 30th
instant, and is to comprise Mr. Lister's celebrated novel of.
" Granby," the three volumes cikmplete in one, for 65., bound,
with an admirable likeness ofwthe author, and a vignette.
It is justly remarked by the Edinburgh Review that the
great success of this novel is owing chiefly to its " very easy
and natural picture of manners, as they really exist among
the upper classes ; to the description of new characters, ju-
diciously drawn and faithfully preserVed ; and to the intro-
duction of many striking and well managed incidents. No-
thing is in excess ; there is a good deal of fancy, and a great
deal of spirit at work.
BRIBERY.—The most remarkable and glaring case
yet exhibited against the Tories was disclosed at the Elec-
tion Commission (Ireland) last week. •
