UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.)

Francis Thomas Scott, a young man, was charged before
Mr. Cottingham, with ferociously riding over John Samuel
Reed, by which his life was endangered.
It appeared that on the preceding afternoon the prisoner
was observed galloping along Blackfrior's-road, and a man
named Reed, who unfortunately happened to be crossing the
road, was knocked down. The hind hoof of the horse striking
the poor man on the side of the head, injured him in such a
dreadful manner, that when he was taken up, the blood was
gushing frem his mouth and ears. He was conveyed to
Guy's Hospital, where but slight hopes were given of his
recovery. And this morning a certificate. was sent over from
the hospital, describing that the unfortunate man expired in
the course of the night. As a Coroner's inquest will be held
on the body, the prisoner was remanded.
Richard Creation was charged with assaulting and wound-
ing Robert Butterworth upon the head with a pair of tongs.
The defendant went to the Three Compasses public-house,
Guildford-street, and was refused being served with liquor
owing to his being intoxicated. Irritated at the refusal the
prisoner swore he would have his revenge, and, leaving the
house, he went home, procured a pair of tongs, and returning
to the Three Compasses, struck the first man he saw coming
out a dreadful blow on the head, and it was only surprising
he had not killed him. Butterworth, the man assaulted, re-
mained insensible for upwards of an hour, but fortunately
recovered sufficiently to be enabled to attend the examination.
Mr. COTTINGHAM characterised it as such a murderous
assault, that instead of summary decision he should commit
the prisoner for trial.
It was stated the defendant was discharged from the police
for intoxication, and since then another situation had been
procured for him in the Customs, which he also lost owing to
his propensity for liquor.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
Daniel Brien, a shoemaker, residing in Brighton-street,
Cromer-street, was charged with the following outrageous
conduct:—

soner was murdering his wife ; he rushed up stairs in company
with 116 E ; they knocked at the door of an apartment and
demanded admission, but were refused, upon which they
burst it in. Immediately upon 151 E entering the room he
received a violent blow in the breast from the prisoner, whose
wife was sitting on the bed, her face being covered with
blood. She refused, however, to prosecute her brutal hus-
band, who was conveyed to the station-house.
The prisoner, having nothing to urge in mitigation of his
conduct, was, in default of payment of a fine of five shillings,
sent to prison for seven days.

buyers, but went off without spirit, and at comparatively
low prices—viz., 54s 6d to 60s 6d for good brown to very good
bright yellow. All the Mauritius sold briskly at 47s to
55s 6d for low to fine brown, and low to fine greyish yellow
at 56s to 61s 6d, being 6d to is dearer, more particularly for
the lower sorts. The Manilla was disposed of at 14s to 18s
for low brown to good greyish yellow, being comparatively
above the value. Privately no transactions have taken place,
with the exception of a small cargo of brown Bahia, which
has been sold afloat at 18s, deliverable over the ship's side

Mr. Wilson's last Entertainment for the season, at
Store-street Music-hall, was given last night, when the room
was crowded by a hearty and delighted audience. Mr. Wil-
son was never in finer voice, nor did he ever sing more beau-
tifully or more effectively. There were many encores, and
I Mr. Wilson, with his usual readiness, complied with several
requests for songs that were not included in the evening's
performance. Between the parts he sang the splendid scene
from Fra Diavolo in so spirited and delightful a style as
drew forth thunders of applause, and made us regret that it
is not likely we shall ever hear him sing such music on the
stage again. At the end he said " a few words at parting,"
in which he mentioned that he had come now to the end of
his third season at Store-street, and was gratified to find
that his efforts had so long continued to afford amusement to
so many of her Majesty's subjects; the best proof of which
was, he said, the constant succession of crowded rooms with
which he was honoured. He alluded, humorously, to his
imitators, whose efforts, by-the-bye, seem rather to have in-
creased Wilson's popularity than have detracted from it, and
stated that sometimes the. question was put to him when he
visited a place for the first time, whether he was the real
Wilson or one of the sham ones. He concluded a most de-
lightful and gratifying evening, by singing a verse of
" There's nae luck aboot the hoose." He said he should,
neat season, produce some new Entertainments, which, he
hOped, might be honoured with the approbation of his
audience, for he said, in the words of the song—
" There's nae luck about the house,
There's nae luck awa,
There's little pleasure in the house,
When your smiles are awa."
Mr. Wilson carries with him the good wishes of all for his
health and continued prosperity. Ile will commence his En-
tertainments again in January, and will, in the meantime,
visit the provincial towns in England, Scotland, and Ireland,
and also France and Germany.

Signor Moriani ' has reserved for his last appearance
and benefit the part which is said to afford him the most
surpassing triumph. Genaro, in Lucrezia Borgia, is indeed a
part that gives the amplest scope to his genius ; and his per-
formance of it is said to create the deepest sensation amongst
his auditors.

The Earl of Bradford has given a piece of land at
Bolton for the erection of public baths.
