UNION-HALL.

George Mugglestone, a man of respectable appearance, was
charged before Mr. Cottingham with committing the follow-
ing fraud.
Mr. Folkard, the pawnbroker of the London-road, stated
that the defendant came to his shop on the preceding after-
noon, and producing what he termed a gold guard chain, said
that it was fine gold and asked the loan of 50s. on it. His
shopman, examined the article and discovered, by the usual
test, that it was of a very inferior description ; and as the
prisoner had succeeded in pledging one of a similar descrip-
tion previously, and which was since ascertained to be what
is called jeweller's gold, he was given into custody.
The defendant, in reply to Mr. COTTINGHAM, said that he
was a chemist and druggist out of business, and that he pur-
chased the chains, and thought they were worth the money
he asked upon them.

Mr. CoriINGHAN said that it was a fraud, for which the
prisoner rendered himself liable to transportation on convic-
tion ; and as some inquiry would be made into his character,
he should, therefore, adjudge him to enter into his recogni-
zance of 1001. to appear on Wednesday next.
Ann Musgrave was charged with stealing a valuable gold
ring, the property of Mr. Bradberry, pawnbroker and sil-
versmith, of the London-road.
It appeared that the prisoner went into the complainant's
shop the preceding afternoon to pledge a shawl, and while
there she contrived to steal a gold ring, by reaching over and
taking it out of the window. When charged with the
offence, she denied it, and dropped the ring on the floor at
her feet.

The prisoner persisted in her innocence, before the Magis-
trate, and in reply to his questions, said that her husband
was late quarter-master sergeant in the 54th regiment, at
Gibraltar, from which garrison they had only recently re-
turned home, and that he had no pension, as he retired from
the service before the expiration of his time; that they had
five children, all dependent on them, and that two out of the
number were afflicted with illness.
The MAGISTRATE remanded the prisoner.

THE METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.—During the
last few days much progress has been made on the various
lines of streets connected with the improvements of the
metropolis. In Whitechapel, for the formation of the new
street to lead from Shoreditch Church to the Loudon Docks,
on Friday last twenty-nine houses were sold to the south of
and adjoining Spitalfields Church, and which are now in
course of demolition. When these are removed, there will be
a direct communication with Whitechapel. In Red Lion-
street, passing to the docks, on the east side, above half the
houses are being cleared away. In Upper St. Martin's-lane,
being the continuation of the new street from Leicester-
square to Plumptre-street, the width of the road is marked
out, and which is also done in this latter street, in each of
which thoroughfares the carriage way is above thirty feet
wide. In Plumptre-street the arches for the new houses are
turned, and are ready for the buildings, there being a space
left for a French Protestant chapel, at a short distance from
Bedford chapel, the foundation stone of which will be shortly
laid. On the new line of street in this neighbourhood, from
Oxford-street to Holborn, there is now a direct opening
made, though there are several houses to be removed to form
the entire width of the street. When the houses are cleared
away, which is being rapidly done by the workmen, a new
sewer will have to be formed in what was once called the
Rookery, and, when that is completed, the carriage and foot-
way. will be made, the whole of which is expected to be
carried into effect about Michaelmas next.
The authorities of Eton College have received an
intimation from Prince Albert, through the medium of Mr.
G. E. Anson, that his Royal Highness is desirous of attending
divine service in the College Chapel, previously to his laying
the foundation stone of the new buildings to-morrow.
The Provost, in order to meet the views of the Prince, has
appointed the service to take place on the morning of that
day, at half-past twelve o'clock.
Tuesday being the anniversary of the battle of
Waterloo, the household troops, cavalry and infantry,
mounted guard, wearing laurel in their caps, and having their
colours also decorated with evergreens. The Chelsea pen-
sioners were also decorated in a similar manner, and num-
bers of private individuals who are out-pensioners, and who
served on that memorable day, wore the Waterloo medal on
their left breast, and laurel leaves in their hats.
CONINGSBT.—The demand for this work increases
we understand, every day. The Court Journal ob-
serves :—" In whatever point of view we examine this
work, it commands unmixed admiration. It is admir-
able as a novel of real life—as a picture of English so-
ciety—as an exposition of political parties and prin-
ciples—as a gallery of living portaits. In each of these
aspects it exhibits great talent ; but it is in its rare com-
bination of them ull that it deserves the highest praise.
Many of the characters are portraits, which no person ac-
quainted with the circles in which the originals move
can fail to detect. Lord Monmouth and his creature Mr.
Rigby, who writes slashing' articles in the Review
—Milbank, the Cotton Lord—Sidonia' the great Jew
capitalist, who holds all the Courts of Europe in his
cheque-book--Henry Sidney, Buckhurst, Vere, the com-
panions of Coningsby at Eton—Lucian Gay, the mimic
and table wit—none of them can be mistaken. There
are also passages of high poetical beauty in this novel.
The love of Coningsby for Edith is full of pathos and
fresh-heartedness. The recommendation of such a no-
vel to our readers would be a work of supererogation.
Everybody will read it."
[ADVERTISEMENNT.]—The Atrapila tory, or Liquid
Hair Dye, the only dye that really answers for all co-
lours, and does not require redoing but as the hair
grows, as it never fades, or acquires that unnatural red
or purple tint common to all other dyes, Ross and Sons
can, with the greatest confidence, recommend the above
dye as infallable, if done at their establishment ; and la.
dies or gentlemen requiring it are requested to bring
their friends or servants with them to see how it is used,
which will enable them to do it afterwards without the
chance of failure. Several private apartments devoted
entirely to the above purpose, and some of their esta-
blishment having used it, the effect produced can be at once
seen. They think it necessary to add, that by attending
strictly to the instructions given with each bottle of dye,
numerous persons have succeeded equally well without
coining to them.—Address Ross and Sons, 119 and 120,
Bishopsgate-street,the celebrated Perruquiers, Perfumers,
Hair-cutters, and Hair-dyers.—N.B. Families attended
at their own residences, whatever the distance.
DEAFNESS.
TESTIMONIAL from John Sawyer, Esq., of Hay-
wood Lodge, Maidenhead, Berke, to Messrs. S. and B. Solo-
mon', 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Gentlemen, having
been deaf for some time, I was induced. in the month of No-
vember, 1839, to make trial of your Invisible Voice Conductors,
and, although at my advanced age, at that time past my 77th
year, I had no hope of obtaining any relief, yet immediately I
applied them I could hear the general conversation, and my
hearing has become so much improved by their use, that I can
now hear acutely without their aid. I ain, Gentlemen, your
most obedient servant, J. Sawyer. 22d June, 1542.—Fr0m
the late Henry Cowper, Esq., of Tewen Waters, Herts, to
Messrs, S. and B. Solomons :—Gentlemen, having been deaf
for raany years, I was induced to try your Invisible Voice
Conductors. They enable me to hear persons in company,
and at a place of worship most distinctly. The Spectacles and
Handglass which you have sent me are very excellent, and
suit my sight perfectly, the transparency of which is so bril-
liant, that although I have passed my 86th year the 22d of
May last, yet they enable me to read, and by candle-light, with
the greatest ease and comfort to myself. I return you my best
thanks, and remain your obedient servant, Henry Cowper.—

THE HEIGHT OF IMPUDEI‘Iva ,„-00.
Many illustrations of this phrase will doubtless be ~
to our readers, but we believe it was scarcely ever so P"-
fully realised as at the Mansion-house yesterday. fit)
The King of Saxony had honoured the Lord Mayor
his presence at a collation, at which a very sol°llPaltist
private friends were invited to meet his Majesty. ~..,,,,
bor
must have been the surprise of his Majesty aed of btsi,ijig
f
pitable host, when, in the midst of the repast, the
uncy
doors were thrown open, and without any further Ono '
re
went than the exclamation of an usher, " A deputations tei
Lord," Sir Peter Laurie and Mr. Masterman P,reensoo
themselves to the astonished company. The Lora.eis
in evident amazement, begged to know to what aocTissor
was indebted for the unexpected intrusion, and Dlr• 700
man explained that the object was to request the I! tbe
oaf the King of Saxony at the ceremonial of 011:1.°04
statue of the Duke of Wellington to the public. I'l'oo
Mayor suggested that no preparations had beep
f' Uhl never mind," quoth Sir Peter, " I know the
is a very active man, for I saw that when he ndetp.
went over Bedlam with me." With singular Plcoloat,
Sir Peter has a goad deal to do with that establis toes
Again the Lord Mayor urged that his Majesty was
etirs "
by surprise, and requested " the deputation "to the.
another room, when an answer should be sent t° 00
But Sir Peter showed no inclination to " leave th.eed 101
precincts of the cheerful" dining-room, and rePee`otht
"the King was an active man," adding, that therein
no delay, as "all the people were waiting." It was odd.
of no use to resist further, though the Lord Mayor b!!00,00
necessity of ordering the carriages. No carriages, „%064
would be permitted by the bustling Sir Peter. Se
that the King roust walk, and he would be respoosl.oo
his Majesty's safety ! Accordingly, in spite of the es:dibil
of the Chief Magistrate to put an end to this univerirs fe4
intrusion on his Royal guest, and on the privaoltto tie
personal friends, the illustrious visitor was draggeu,A, OP.

What an exalted notion his Majesty will carry h 70..
