COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—We looked
into this Court to-day and beheld the four Judges sitting,
but not a wig in Court save their Lordships'. It is cer-
tainly the otiten cum dignitate. Yet this is the Court
°lit of which the reporters are excluded lest any inconve-
nience might occur to the bench, bar, and suitors, by the
occupation of any of their " valuable space ! !"—Dublin
Evening Freeman of Saturday.
It is said that the King of PRUSSIA is ill of
the disease called hydlothorax (dropsy of the chest). This
disease proceeds slowly in its destructive course, but, at
hie age, it must be regarded as attended with danger. The
d'ath of the King of PRUSSIA would be, under present
circumstances, a fatal event ; the moderation of this Prince
is well known, and the accession to the throne of the
Prince Royal, who is well known for his devotion to the
system of Russia, must occasion a considerable change in
the policy of Europe.

ADVANTAGES OF A THICK SKULL.—Last
week, a young man fell from the bowsprit of a brig in
Arbroath harbour, a height of 40 feet, and pitched on
Ilia head with such force, that it actually stuck fast in the
'lime, there being only about a foot of water at the time.
He was luckily a thick skulled animal ; for, after being
ixtricated from his lowly bed, he rolled the quid in his
Louth (which he had never quitted) to one side, spat a
Illoutlaful or two of blood, gave his face a rub, swore an
64th, and resumed his business as usual.

On Wednesday evening, one of our aborigines
Yelept fishermen, pretty well half seas over, scudding be-
fore his fellows to obtain ,6 first seat—first row" in the
Gallery, gave a jump, when, some one assisting him by a
rush from behind, he capsised head foremost into the pit ;
but fortunately in his fall he caught by his left band to
the railings, where he hung amidst a tremendous
playing the devil's own rigs with the chandelier beneath.
4Le gods immediately joined in a " pully boy !" and

SCRIPTURE AND MODERN GEOGRAPHY.—
l'he Geographical Annual is one of the most successful
12ulilications, and certainly, whatever may- be its merits,
the Biblical Annual is in no way its inferior. It is not
often that we have seen such a beautiful volume—the
41,4 are executed with the greatest care, and the ge•
„
"'ral Index which accompanies them is an addition of
the highest value. We know not the works we could
atone conscientiously recommend as valuable and beautiful
press tits. —.Athenaum.

1. A few evenings ago Mr. BROWN, a solicitor,
2"ing in Margaret street, Cavendish-square, went to take
Warm bath at the bathing-rooms, No. Oxford-
%Net The bath was provided, and, after some time had
elapsed without his making his appearance to the attend-
ants, they entered the bathing-room, and discovered him
Corpse at the bottom of the bath. It is supposed that
" was attacked by sudden indisposition, and was inca-
pable of quitting the bath or alarming the attendants.
WARM COURTSHIP.—A few nights ago, a
Pair of lovers at Grindon-moor were left together, the
faluily having retired to rest. Two or three hours after-
*anis, the father of the young woman awoke, and per-
e!iving a smell of Ore, went down stairs, where he found
his 'laughter and the young man siiting before the fire ap-
Parently asleep, but enveloped in flames. How the acci-
dent occurred is unknown, but it is supposed that the par-
-48 having been overtaken by the drowsy god, a spark
gevv on the cotton gown of the female, and set it on fire.
I?tir informant adds, that the young woman was so severely
'trot that her life was despaired o+, and the young man
bias much injured.
THE WOODEN LEG.—A Lady and her son
I,ete standing near me in the church of St. Eustache,
Mien the latter, seeing a soldier who bad suffered ampu-
tation, exclaimed, Oh, mother, do iou see that Gentle.
41,1fu without a leg ?"—" My son," replied the mother,
do you not perceive that he wears it in his button-bole ?"
The soldier was " decorated."

PLAN FOR VIE EMPLOYMENT OF TILE LABOUR-
ING POOR.—On Sunday evening last, a crowd ga-
thered about the door of the Exhibition-room, No.
67, Fleet-street, invited by a placard stating that
Miss Macauley would lecture there that evening.
A report was immediately circulated that the lady
was a pupil of Carlile's, and intended to preach his
exalted doctrine; and Mr. Cope, the City Marshal,
finding that a man stood at the door, and asked the
people to enter at 2d. a head, entered and told Miss
Macauley that it was illegal to cause assemblages of
persons under such circumstances. The conse-
quence was that no lecture took place; but several
statements passed from one to the other amongst
those collected in the street prejudicial to the lady's
character for piety.
Yesterday she waited upon the LORD MAYOR for
the purpose of disabusing the public mind, and de-
fending her own character from an imputation so
excessively unjust and injurious. She addressed his
Lordship in the following manner :—" My Lord, I
feel it necessary, for my own credit's sake, to ex-
onerate myself in the most public manner from any
premeditated intention of transgressing the laws of
the city, by announcing a Sabbath Evening Lecture;
and also to state why I was placed in so painful a
situation as to render the interference of the autho-
rities necessary. Engaged in plans of public use-',
fulness, and earnestly desirous to render the little
talent and energy which I possess available in the
present dreadful state of national distress, I, some
few months ago, unguardedly entered into the joint
proprietorship of the Rotunda, Blackfriars-road,
for the purpose of opening an Exchange La-
bour Bank, which I firmly believed would be
one effectual means of service to the work-
ing classes. I need not trespass on your
Lordship's time, by saying how grievously my
hopes have been in that arrangement blighted—
suffice it, that the building has now passed into
other hands, and without giving me any intimation
of the prohibition of my future lectures—without
affording me any opportunity of announcing to my
auditors that I was about to recede, I was informed
last Friday evening, that I must not deliver any,
lectures there on Sunday. In this perplexing ex-
tremity, I gladly accepted the good-natured propo-
sal of Mr. Checketts for his Exhibition-room, 67,
Fleet-street, utterly ignorant that, by so doing, I
was acting in opposition to the laws of the city.
My lecture was prohibited, on the supposition that
it was of a political tendency, and that I was the
professed advocate of Mr. Owen's doctrines. 'With-
out desiring to offer offence to Mr. Owen, or to any
one, I think it necessary to state, my Lord, that I
advocate no specific doctrines of any kind, that I
belong to no party whatever, political or otherwise;

lam a visitor to all, but identified with none. I
select Sunday evening for my lectures on Infant
Education and Domestic Philosophy, because I
think the quietude of a day of rest more appro-
priated to the exercise of mental improvement than
any other, and because that, in the truest spirit of
true Christianity, I hold it lawful to do good on
the Sabbath-day.' The purport of my last Sun-
day's lecture was on the means of obtaining funds
to place some poor destitute labourers on land,
which, in conjunction with others, I am now nego-
tiating for. As I feel it necessary for my own repu-
tation, as a public character, to state fully and
clearly the purport of my intended lecture on sun-
day last, and also explain to the very uttermost the
reasons why I was placed in a situation so painful,
riot to cay degrading, I earnestly entreat your Lord-
ship's permission that I may be permitted to deliver
two or three lectures on this subject in the city, on
a Sunday evening, if it can be allowed, or if nor, on
some other evening next week, by your Lordship's
permission, and under your immediate sanction. I
solicit this, my Lord, as an act of benevolence, or
rather justice, towards the reputation of one fur
many years engaged in the public service, and as it
may be truly said, a sacrifice in mind, body, and
estate to the public cause."
The LORD MAYOR had often heard Miss Macaulay
lecture on the drama with very great effect, and he
was happy to find, from what she had stated, that
her object on the present occasion was the benefit
of the poor. He could not, however, sanction the
lecturing for money in the city of London, as she
was not provided with a license, but she might apply
for one at the next London Sessions.

Miss Macaulay said that one of her chief objects in
waiting upon the Lord Mayor was to prove that the
last thing she could think of was the violation of the
law. She would, of course, bow to the prohibition.
