MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

(THIS DAY.)
Caroline Guest, a most wretched female, who, for the last
ten or twelve years, has passed at least nine months out of the
twelve in gaol, was again charged with being disorderly, and
annoying and obstructing gentlemen as they were leaving
Crockford's, and other club-houses in St. James's-street, at
between one and two o'clock this morning.

Mr. HARDWICK—What have you to say to this ? Prisoner
—lt is well known that a nobleman is the father of three of
my :children now living. I am forced to go to the club-
houses to see him.

Mr. llAnDwicK—You are quite incorrigible. You have
been repeatedly furnished with money from this court, to go
to your friends in the country, but you have as often returned.
You have been relieved at least 500 times, and, I believe,
punished 5,000. I shall again commit 3ou for a month.
Three dashing prostitutes were committed for one month
each, to New Westminster Bridewell, to hard labour, for using
obscene language in the public street.
Mr. HARDwicx said he was determined that the ears pf
modest women and children should not be so grossly and
wantonly abused.
The defendants, who had evidently expected to get eff by
paying a fine, screamed in dismay on hearing their sentence.

UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Owen was charged with committing a desperate
assault on Ann Lewes, whose head and face were frightfully
cut and disfigured.
It appeared that about six o'clock that morning a police-
man found the complainant lying on the pavement in Staple-
street, Bermondsey, in a state of insensibility, bleeding from
wounds on die head and face. When she recovered, her ac-
count was that she lived with the prisoner, whom she sup-
ported by the wages of her prostitution, and not returning home
as early as he wished, he commenced a furious attack upon
her, threw her with violence out of the house into the street,
and, while she was lying on the pavement, kicked her on
the head and face, inflicting the injuries which she then ex-
hibited.
Mr. CorriNGium said that a more brutal assault never
came under his observation—that he should commit the
prisoner for trial if he did not know the unfortunate victim
of his violence was not in a condition to defray the expenses
of a prosecution. He (the Magistrate) should therefore in-
flict the highest penalty the law empowered him, 51., and in
default of payment commit him for two months.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.—Last evening a young actor,
named Wellington Price, made his first appearance before
a London audience, at this theatre, in the character of
Hamlet. In the course of his performance he evinced con-
siderable judgment, and was much applauded throughout.
Experience will, no doubt, make him an acquisition to the
Londan stage. The characters of Ophelia and Horatio were
very creditably supported by Miss Melville and Mr.
Simpson. The house was a very good one, and on the fall of
the curtain, Mr. Wellington Price was loudly called for.by
the audience.
