EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT SOUTIIAMP-
TON. --peeing the past week, the town of Southampton
has bean thrown into a state of excitation, in consequence
of ►.ae following dreadful circumstance. Mr. Wnire, a
master baker, who was very much respected by his brother
tradesmen in the town, had a family consisting of a wife
and five children. In the early part of the week be ob-
tained some intimation that his wife was in the habit of
receiving the visits of a resident of the town, Damned
MACDONALD, and that they carried on a criminal in-
tercourse. MAcnosrann was a friend of WHITE'S, and
at first he doubted whether MacnoNAt.n could be guilty
of violating friendship by .seducing his wife ; lie, how-
ever, determined to use all artifice by which he thought
he might be able to ascertain if a criminal intercourse exist-
'ed between the parties. Ile informed his wife that he was
Aunt to spend the evening with a convivial party, at u
tavern in the town, and he should not return home till a
late hour. Instead of going to the tavern, he secreted
himself in a place adjoining his parlour, in the partition of
which he had bared a hole: In about an hour after lie
had concealed himself; he heard MACDONALD arrive, and
in a few minutes he was an eye-witness of the guilt of the
parties, and of his own dishonour. Armed with a knife,
he came from his biding-place, and rushed upon Mac:mi-
lNALD, who attempted to escape, but was not able to do so.
and be received a wound in the neck from the hand Of
WHITE, which severed the carotid artery, and laid him on
the door a corpse. WHITE then threw down the knife,
and ordered a constable to be sent for, to whom he surren-
dered himself, tu await the result of the verdict of the Co-
roner's Jury, who, under the direction of the Coroner, re
turned a verdict of Manslaughter only against WH/TI.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

TIOW-STREET.—On Saturday George James Cliriv-
tie, Esq., was brought to this office cut a warrant, charging
him with haviug written a letter to James Adam Gordon,
Esq., with a view to provoke that gentleman to fight a duel
with Richard Gurney, Esq.

Mr. Christie expressed great surpriie that Mr. Gordon,
upon whose information the warrant had been issued,
should have made application upon the subject at this
office, particularly after having consented to give Mr 1
Gurney the satisfaction of a gentleman. The letter which
he (Mr. Christie) had written was merely an answer to a
communication of Mr. Gordon's, in which that gentleman
consented to meet Mr. Gurney to give him satisfaction ;
yet, it now appeared that Mr. Gordon, instead of arrang-
ing the meeting, or referring it to a friend, Lad turned in-
former and proceeded to Bow-street, to charge him (Mr.
C.) with writing a challenge.
Ledbitter, the efficer who had executed the warrant,
here intimated to Mr. Halls, that Sir Godfrey Webster
had been originally named by Mr. Gurney as his second,
but on learning the rause of disagreement between the
parties, Sir Godfrey declined to interfere, and Mr. Christie
was then appointed as Mr. Gurney's second.
Mr. Christie denied that Sir Godfrey Lad acted in any
other capacity than as an arbitrator between the parties,
and having failed to bring the'matter to sn amicable adjust-
ment, a meeting was determined upon, and he (Mr. C.)
was appointed by Mr. Gurney to arrange it.
Mr. HALLS agreed that circtunstancee might occur cer-
tainly to excuse, though not to justify, a hostile meeting.
lie was far from imputing to Mr. Christie any thing im-
proper in the step which he had taken, but having written
a letter tending to provoke a breach of the peace, as a Ma-
gistrate he was hound to call upon Mr. Christie to find
bail, and he would take care that Mr. Gurney should fiud
sureties also. _ . _

Mr. Christie was then hound in the usual terms to keep
the peace, himself in 5001. and two sureties in 2501. each.
Nothing further transpired as to the cause of the quarrel,
but we understand that it arose out of circumstances con-
nected with the last election for the borough of Tregony,
in Cornwall, when both Mr. Gordon and Mr. Gurney,
together with Dr. Lushingtou and Mr. James Brougham,
were returned for that borough. The return being double,
a Parliamentary committee was appointed to try the vali-
dity of the election, and they decided that the return of
Messrs Gordon and Gurney was null and vuid, and that
Dr. Lushington and Mr. Brougham were the Sitting
Members.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET..--CRUELTY TO ANI.•
)tat.s.—A fellow na►ned Jenkins was, on Saturday, charged
under Mr. Martin's Act, with wantonly and cruelly ill-
treating several lambs, on Friday, the 13th instant, near
Brbm pton-row.
Sir Gaonou Faunal:l. convicted him in the mitigated
penalty of 40s. ; and, in default of being able to pay, he was
committed to the House of Correction.

A sawyer, of the na►ue of John White, was brought
before Sir GEORGY FARMAN; charged with creating a dis-
turl4ance at his lodgings.

The landlord deposed that the prisoner had only moved
into his house the previous day, and at night, hearing a
quarrel with some of the lodgers, he went up and saw the
defendant. Not knowing hint, he asked him what he wanted,
when he said his room and wife; not believing he lodged
with him he gave him into custody. He had since made
inquiries, and found that he was only living with the
woman, having left his wife and family after spending.
about 3001. which she had. The woman he was cohabit-
ing with was outside.
Sir G. FARR ANT. —Let her come in.
The female accordingly entered the office, when she
stated her husband was not in fault.
Sir G. FARRA NT—Why, he says be has left his wife.
Female—l only know that I ant his wife.
Air G. FARItANT—Come, take the book, and swear to
' speak the truth.
She accordingly took the oath, when she stated she had
married the prisoner about thirteen years ago in Ireland,
where she was living with the Earl of Desborongh. She
knew Ime had since been living with a female.
Sir G. FAannwr—How came you to marry a second
wife ?---White : 1 did it out of aggravation to this one.
Sir G. FARR.% NT—Whic,l4 of theta is your first wife?
Female—l am his first wife.
White-1 love this one the best ; I only stop with the
other a few months.

Sir. G. FauttANT—Merely help her to spend her money
I suppose ?—White: That was all.
h e landlord observed if be would leave the place he
would not proceed, which White promised, and he was
discharged.

WORSHIP-STREET. —EXT EN SIVE ROBBERY AT
THE GLOBE TAVERN, MOWICATE. —Benjamin Nicholls,
alias Page, generally known in this district as " the
schoolmaster," from hie abilities in instructing others iu
the pursuits he himself fellows, underwent a long examiva •
tion before Mr. linuummon, on a charge of breaking
open the till at the Globe Tavern, kept by Mr. Lacy, and
carrying off the cash-box, containing 1001. in cash, SOO/.
in bills of exchange. and a bend for 7401. It appeared
from the statement of Miss Lacy, that about four o'clock in
the afternoon two persons went into the coffee-room, and
presently afterwards two others entered ; and one of them
seating himself iu the front of the bar, engaged her in con-
versation, and walked into the opposite room with her to
inspect the progress of the repairs going on. The fuur
persons, who were evidently connected, left the house soon
afterwards, and a few minutes after their departure, she
discovered that the drawer had bees► forced open, and the
property above-mentioned had disappeared. The prisoner
cross-examined the witnesses with much ingenuity, and
declared that on the afternoon in question, he was at the
Blue Coat Boy, in the City-road, at half-past two, and
• till between five and six in the evening. The bar-maid,
and another female from the Blue Coat Boy, were called.
They had no knowledge of his person ; but he succeeded
in recalling to their recollection circumstances occurring at
he extreme points of time of which he had spoken, and he
said he was not out of the house in the intervening time.
An inquiry then took place respecting die reture of part of
the stolen property. It appeared that on Wednesday even-
ing a parcel sealed up was delivered to Miss Lacy, contain-
ing the hills and the bond, and all that had been lost in-
deed, except the cash. It had been delivered to the young
lady through Mr. Woodfield, us a particular friend of Mr.
Lacy, to whom it was given by a female the night previous.
Nicholls was committed for re-examination.
UNION-lIALL.—On Saturday a man named Walker
was brought before the sitting magistrate, M. SW A BEY,
Esq., charged with using threats of violence towards Miss
Blanchard, a singer of the Rotunda Wine-rooms, in
Blaekfriars-road.
The fair complainant stated, that some days ago she at-
tended at this office as a witness against the defendant, who
was charged with having assaulted a man, and for which
offence he was held to bail. On her return home, the do-
fendant, who resides in the same neighbourhood, being
exasperated at the circumstance of her having giveu evi-
dence, attacked her with the most scurrilous abuse, and
uttering a threat, swore that it was the last time she
should appear against Lim. In reply to the Magistrate,
Miss Blanchard declared that she went in personal fear of
the defendant, whom she characterized as of an impetuous
temper.
Walker, in answer to the charge, declared that Mho,
Blanchard anal her mother haul conspired together to ruin
him, in consequence of his having refused to trust them
with half a bushel of coals, in which article lie was a
dealer. He emphatically added, " I declare, your Worship,
it is all spite on the part of Miss Blanchard that has
taken me out of my business to attend here as a defendant
to •day."
Both the ladies, mother and daughter, expresses! their
indignation at the assertion used by the defendant with
respect to the halfabusliel of coals, no such circumstance
having taken place.
The defendant was ultimately held to bail to keep the
peace.

AMERICAN WOMEN.—WidIOUt participating
in all Mr. WATERTON'S enthusiasm with regard to the
American women, it is difficult for the most casual observer
not to be struck with their appearance; nor do I know
any part of the world (not even excepting England) where
the display olfemale beauty is more striking than at New
Yurk sod Philadelphia, where, from the warmth of the
climate, the light dress of the south of Europe is seen io
