CLERKEN I YELL.

An elderly gentleman came before Mr. Combe with a inews-
paper in his hand, and stated that he wished to have a statement
which was made in that Court, and which appeared in the public
newspapers, rectified.
Mr. CO MBE said be could not allow the public time to be
frittered away in explanations of paragraphs in newspapers.
hat was the precise nature of the gentleman's application.
The applicant said his name was Seers, and the same indi-
vidual against whom the Rev. Mr. Evans, nainis,er of John's
Chapel, Bedford-row, complained before his Worship a few days
ago. Mr. Evans on that occasion stated, that he (Mr. Seers)
was in the habit of disturbing his congregation during the
hours of divine service by standing up and
.addressing them.
Now, he wished to rectify this.
Mr. Comex said the Rev. Mr. Evans had certainly applied
to him for protection against the disturbance alluded to. He
(Mr. Combe) told him to warn the intruder, whoever he might
be, of the impropriety of his conduct, and to warn him that if
he persevered, he would be taken into custody ; and he would
now recommend Mr. Seers, if he had committed the disturb-
ance, not to repeat it.
The applicant thanked the Magistrate, and left the Court.
UNION-HALL.
William Holder, a respectable-looking man, a traveller, in
the employment of Mr. Flockton, the extensive turpentine
manufacturer, in Bermondsey, was brought before Mr. Cot-
tingham, charged with embezzling moneys to a considerable
amount, the property of his employer.
Mr. Flockton stated that the prisoner had been in his employ
for some length of time. He was usually engaged in soliciting
orders for goods and colleeting money from the customers. Of
late, it had been discovered that he had received various sums
of money, which it was his duty to have accounted for, but
which he had not done. The complainant added, that if the
prisoner was remanded, he would bring several cases against him.
The prisoner, who said nothing in his defence, was remanded.
Thomas Barker and Ann Barker, his wife, were charged on
suspicion with committing a robbery under the following cir-
cumstances:—

It appeared the prisoner and his wife lived in Providence..
row, Walworth, and that on Monday night last she alarmed the
neighbourhood by saying that her house was entered and robbed
while she was out. A neighbour having entered the house
found some of the rooms in a state of confusion, and the pro-
perty of a Mr. Ellis, a lodger, consisting of clothes and jewel-
lery, removed. From subsequent examination of the premises
by the police, it was strongly suspected that the house had not
been entered by thieves, no marks of violence nor footmarks
being observed, and therefore the suspicion rested against OA
prisoners, who were accordingly given unto custody.
The prisoners, who declared their innocence of the alleged
offence, were remanded.

EARTHQUAKE IN SCOTLAND CRIEFF.—Two
startling shocks of earthquake occurred here on Sabbath last ;
the first a little before one o'clock, and the other about half
an hour afterwards. The tremulous motion of the earth was
very palpably felt, and the accompanying rumbling aubter-
raneous noise was loud and long-continued.-scotaman.
At Comrie, on Sabbath last, two rather severe
shocks of earthquake occurred—the first at about a quarter to
one o'clock, w. se., and the other about thirty-five minutes
thereafter. At Aberfield, on the same day, and at about the
same time, the shocks were very perceptibly felt. They lasted
for some moments, and were accompanied by a dull, hollow
noise, resembling that occasioned by the passing of a heavilT-
laden carriage along the street.—Glaagoie Saturday Poet.
REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES, BY MOVING AMEND-
31ENTS ON Sums' MOTION!.--On the 21st of September last,
Mr. W. S. Crawford, M.P. for Rochdale, addressed a lette.
to Mr. Joseph Sturge, proposing that an effort should be made
to create a public opinion, in favour of the ancient and con-
stitutional principle of moving amendments on the supplies,
until the people's grievances are hoard and redressed. The
Council of the Complete Suffrage Union trait the initiative in
this matter, and appointed their President and Secretary to
visit the principal boroughs in England, to place it before the
public. The result has been, that in every town the propose.
has been enthusiastically received, and upwards of thirty
boroughs have pronounced in its favour. Mr. Crawford, we
understand, feels so much encouraged by the reception his plan
has met with, that he is determined to persevere with it Mott
the commencement, of the session. Mr. Fielden, M.P. fa

of Dr. Bowring, constitute the " forlorn hope." Sir Robert

We find the following amusing story in the
Journal du Havre of Thursday :—" One day last week, rt
Caen, a young and pretty Englishwoman, with long auburn
hair, fresh complexion, rosy lips, and airy step, and with a
pleasing smile upon her countenance, entered the shop of one
of the principal marchands tie nouveautes. On seeing her, the
shopmen passed their hands through their hair, stereotned
their most fascinating smile, and each did everything in its
power to attract the notice of the pretty customer. The lady
addressed herself as if by chance. to the master, who was rut
a little flattered at the preference. Jo voule avoir one '
said the lady, with her pleasing English accent, and the gall:
lant tradesman immediately began to display his choicest ar-
ticles. ' Yes, yes,' said the pretty lady, with a smile, You,
etes; profondement aimable, Monsieur le marchaniise,'
on examining one, and finding the colour too light. Another
was presented to her, which she found of teo large a pattern.
At length, one of the most beautiful seemed to please het, and
the price was soon agreed upon. The handsome Miss was
about to take it, when suddenly, as if recollecting herself, she
said, Je eller laisser a vous la petite chile, je avois oublid

not allow this, and compelled the lady to take away the shawl
Mais,' said she, archly, ' si je allais sauver moi sans payer
vow.' The tradesman said he was perfectly easy on that head,
as it was impossible for so beautiful a lady to be guilty of de-
ception. ' Yes, yes,' exclaimed the daughter of Albion, and
disappeared, with the step of a fairy. On the following day
the tradesman went to the hotel, and discovered that his beau-
tiful
customer had left by the Havre steamer, taking with, her
the shawl, but forgetting to leave the money. He imtne.
diately set off in pursuit, and, arriving at Havre, was fortu-
nate enough to find her. On seeing him, she said, Yes, yes,
je avais oublie de payer vous, la France it keit pas bon pour le
memorie a moi, voila le argent, je demande bien pardon pour
la petite disagrement.' This time the tradesman forgot all
his gallantry, and leaving the lady, without even taking off
his hat, returned home with a resolution to be on his guant in
