At Lambeth, Edward Armstrong, a mechanic, was charged
with deserting his wife and three children, and leaving them
chargeable to Lambeth parish. He was committed to prison for
fourteen days' hard labour.
William Ferguson, who has been before committed from Queen-
square for annoying the Hon. R.-Fitzgibbon, was charged with
repeating the offence. Mr. Bond said that there was not the
slightest excuse for defendant's conduct, in continually annoying
Colonel Fitzgibbon in this way. He must call upon defendant to
enter into his own recognisances of 201., and one respectable per-
son in 101., to keep the peace towards complainant for the next
three months.—Defendant was then locked up.

of cunning
consist of a watch.chain, seal, and key. These peerless Woltz are of
great value, not so much in respect to the gold and gems of which
they are composed as for the artistic skill that produced them.
These rare specimens of British ingenuity will be accompanied
by respectful and loyal
addresses, setting forth the grounds upon
which they are respectfully offered. The artists pray that her Ma-
jesty may graciously be pleased to accept and wear these humble
offerings, as the example thus set by the Sovereign may promote
the revival of this branch of native industry, now in a depressed
condition; while it is hoped that the
patronage bestowed upon the
fine arts by the Prince 0 assort may be extended to that higher
branch of mechanical art. In the execution of these elegant or-
naments, 22 different trades were employed.

to cover her, and was suffocated by the smoke. The body was
found in the morning but slightly burned. Upon inquiries being
Made by the agent for the insurance companies, and other official
persons, Sims, the occupant of the house adjoining that of Mr.
Payne, was taken into custody on a charge of setting fire to the
premises. A coroner's inquest was held yesterday on the body of
