MARLBOROUGH-STREET,

A VIOLENT SCENE IN A LIA.TUARKET SUPPER-ROOM.—
Margaret Prescott, an unfortunate, was charged before Mr-
Tyrwhitt, with assaulting Mr. Kalinski, artist in glass
works, at Wade-lane, Leeds.
Mr. Kaliuski said—Being in town on a visit to his
brother, he went witblim to the Argyll-rooms on Saturday
night, and afterwards went with him to supper at the re-
freshment rooms, No. 66, Haymarket. The prisoner was
there with another female and two gentlemen. The gen-
tlemen left, and the prisoner and her companion came and
sat by me and my brother, and asked us to stand come
supper. I refused, and then the other woman made use of
very bad language, and prisoner said, "If you don't I'll
throw this glass at you,"and sbe went to the table and took
up a glass and deliberately threw it at me, cutting my
head very badly. I lost a great deal of blood. I think it
a most scandalous thing that because a person who goes
to a place to take supper does not think proper to treat
persons of the prisoner's class that they are to be treated
in such a way. My friend went after the other female
and held her, but the landlord took her part and she got
away. We have as much right in the place, even if we
are Jews, as anybody else, and I think the landlord's con-
duct most unjustifiable.

By Mr. Tyrwhitt—l was attended by a doctor (Dr.
Tothill, the divisional surgeon), and think it fortunate
that I am still alive, as it is a bad wound.
Mr. 11. Kalinski gave similar evidence to his brother, and
went on to say—" The prisoner and her companion were
very violent. Knives and forks and glasses-were thrown
at us, and were flying about the room. I seized the pri-
soner's companion, and the landlord struck his hand to
release her. I lost my hold and she got away. I have
every reason to believe that women are encouraged to the
place by the landlord for the purpose of preying on cus-
tomers.

Police-constable Evans, 113 o—Hearing a smashing of
glass in the Haymarket I went to No. 66, and the prisoner
was given into my custody by the prosecutor, who was
smothered in blood.

The prisoner said it was her companion who threw the
glass at the prosecutor, and called a witness, a waiter at
the rooms, to support her assertion, but the waiter admitted
that he was only present during part of the time that the
glass throwing was going on.
Mr. Tyrwhitt--I believe the propecutor's statement, and
I shall fine the prisoner £3 or a month. The prosecutor
appears to have got amongst a nice set of people, and such
a man as the landlord ought not to be allowed to have a
license.

THE CIRCULAR NUISANCE.—The following letter was
handed this morning to our reporter by Mr. Tyrwhitt :
" Abbey-road, N.W., Oct. 13.

"I venture to forward for your inspection a circular left
at my house last evening purporting to be issued by a firm
called Clay and Co., of Regent-street, in reference to a sale
of cotton goods, which they state formed part of the stock
of ilsburg, Spursfield, and Corven,' bankrupts, of Can-
non-street West, E.C. Especially I would call your atten-
tion to the highly objectionable nature of the envelope in
which these circulars are issued, doubtless used to call
special attention to the contents. In the London Direc-
tory' of 1865 and 1866, there is no such firm to be found_as
that whose stock is said to have been purchased.—l am, sir
yours obediently,—"
The writer enclosed his card.

The circular is one of the usual kind respecting a
" Sublime Stock of Silks" for sale at the usual "Alarming
Sacrifice."

THAMES.

FURIOUS DRIVING.—THE MARINER SHIPWRECKED ON
SHORE.— Capt. Angus M'Sennon, the master of a ship, was
brought before Mr. Paget charged with being drunk and
furiously driving a horse and chaise.
Nicholas, a police constable, No. 36 11, stated that last
night he saw the prisoner driving a horse and chaise at a
most furious and reckless pace along the High-street,
Whitechapel, and he drove against the posts of the re-
tiring place in the middle of the road. The shafts of the
chaise were broken to pieces, and the prisoner and his lady
were both thrown into the road, and were much hurt. He
raised them from the ground and took the prisoner into cus-
tody. Tho prisoner was very drunk and quite incapable
of taking care of himself or driving a horse and chaise
properly.
Mr. Paget—At what pace was he driving ?
Witness—About 10 miles an hour and very wildly.
Mr. Paget—Were there any horses and vehicles about
the street ?

Witness—Not at that time; there was nothing about.
The prisoner -I deny being drunk, I could notoll the
horse in. I can steer a ship very well, but I could not
steer the horse ; it got out of its course a point or two, and
would not obey the helm.
Mr. Paget—ls there any doubt about the prisoner being
intoxicated ?

Nicholas—None whatever, sir. There is a large erection
in the middle of the street, and he drove right upon it, and
both shafts were smashed up in a moment.
Mr. Paget said it was fortunate for the prisoner that he
had put no one in danger but himself, and that there were
no vehicles about at the time. He would take into consi-
deration that the prisoner brought a severe punishment
upon himself by his recklessness and inebriety, and that
being so he would discharge him, but in doing so he must
say it was not very creditable for the master of a ship to
bo drunk on a Sunday night, and to drive recklessly
along a public thoroughfare.

A NEW LIFE OF GARRICIC.—Mr. Percy Fitzgerald
promises, in January, a new and complete Lifo of David
Garrick, in which his claims to recognition for social gifts,
private worth, generosity and virtue, as well as for dra-
matic ability, will be put forward and insisted on. That
there is an opening for such a work, says the Athol /rum, a
single glance at the meagre accounts of Murphy and Davies
will show.
A " GUIDE DE PARIS" is to be brought out for
the Great Exhibition. It will be splendidly printed, and
will contain contributions by Victor Hugo, Larnartine,
Theophile Gautier, and other writers of note.
GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.—This evening (Mon-
day) Mr. and Mrs. T. German Reed and Mr. John Parry
will re-open for the season. The programme consists o
the " Yachting Cruise" and the " Wedding Breakfabt," f
both produced early in the year.
ST. JAMES'S-HALL.—The" Christy Minstrels,"
strong as ever in their popularity, have taken a long lease
of this hall, which has been newly decorated under the
superintendence of Mr. Owen Jones. Their company now
numbers 20 performers of acknowledged position, and com-
prises Mr. F. B. Converse, a celebritted player ort the banjo,
recently arriYoclfrem America.
