NEW COURT.

Jane Go&Ay, a low prostitute, was indicted fin steal-
ing, on the Bth September, a sovereign and some silver
from the person of G. Simmons.
The prosecutor stated that he was passing through Got--
don-squate on the night in question, when he met the
prisoner, with whom he entered into conversation for about
ten minutes. Shortly after he had left Her he tuii•sed his
money ; the prisoner was immediately pursued and appre-
hended. On searching her at the watch-house the sovereign
was found in her shoe.
The CpststoN SERGEANT enquired of the witness where
Gordon-square was ?
Witnets—Oh ! my Lord, it is quite a new built one—
there is not any house yet.—(A laugh.)
The Orisoner, a masculine woman, of most forbidding
appearance, said she met the prosecutor by appointment,
and that he gave her the money. .

The vosecutor was recalled, who particularly denied
giving her the sovereign, but said eat of feelings of cha-
rity he gave her Is. Sid.— Verdict Guiby.
Mary Woods, aged 26, was indicted for marrying John
Langham, on the 13th of July last, in the parish of Step-
ney, her former husband John Woods, being then living.'
John Cox, the Parish Clerk of St. James's, Garlick-hill,
in the. Ward of Vintry, produced the register of marriage
between John Woods and Mary Cooke, which was
solemnized on the 24th of March, 1818. Ile identified the
prisoner as the bride on that occasion.

John Langham, a porter, stated that he married the
prisoner on the 15th July, 1823, they were married by
banns.

Prisoner to' witness—Did I not tell you I was alreaiy
married, but under a wrong name ? Witness—You did not.
Prisoner—Did you not say under the circumstances the
marriage was good for nothing? Witness—No.
Prisoner—Did you not ask me what name I would be
married in, Cooke-or Woods. Witness—No.

Prisoner—Speak the truth, Jokn ; you know you did ;
it wag the day you dined at lily father's house, off beans
and bacon.—(Laughter.)—You told nie that if I did not
marry you, you would kill yourself.

Will Eagles was present at the marriage of Latigham
to the prisoner.

Cross-examined by the Court—Does your sister live with
Laugh= as his wife? Witness—Not exactly ; she offi-
ciates fur him.—(Laughter.)

The COMMON SICRO EA NT—I see by the depositions you
stated before the Magistrates, that she had lived Ariih him
as his wife fin• the last four years ; you did not nee the fine
word officiate then.:

Jane Eagles heard the prisoner repeatedly tell Langham,
that she had a husband living before she married him.
The prisoner in defence said, that her first husband had
a wife living at the time he married her, and that when she
found that out she thought she was at liberty to marry
again ; that Langham had behaved very ill to her, as well
as Woods, and that between them they had made her life
so miserable, that she threw herself into the Regent's Canal,
but was taken out by an Irishman. She then handed in a
copy of a certificate of the marriage of Woods, on the llth
of February, 1806, to one Charlotte Peploe. She said that
she procured it from Leytonstone.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, hut recommended
her to mercy on account of the bad treatment she had re-
ceived from both her husbands.

SECOND CROP.—Upon an apple tree iii a
garden at Balnaeloich, in Glennalmond, there are at present
five newly formed apples, about the size of cherries. The
same tree yielded a full crop this year, which were pulled
about two months ago, fully ripe. Iu that high and cold
situation such instances of a mild season at this period are
rare.—Scotsman.

UNFORTUNATE OCCURRENCE.—As the
Aire steam-packet, Captain Cruddis, was coming down the
Ouse from Selby, on Thursday morning, about ten o'clock,
when off Goole Reach, a small skiff, put off from the shore,
with two men and one woman, the latter and one of the
men intending to take their passage by the steam-boat for
Hull ; before they reached her, however, owing to the bad-
ness of the skiff, and the unskilfulness of the conductor (not
a waterosan), and the tide running strong, the skiff upset,
by which all the three were unfortunately drowned, in
sight of the woman's children and husband, who were
upon the bank, but unable to render any assistance.

SINGULAR DETECTION OF A TRIP:F.-It
was mentioned in our last, that a person had been sent
for sixty days to the lock-up-house for abstracting a piece of
money frein a letter addressed to his care. The circum-
stances connected with this case are somewhat singular,
and placed the character, or perhaps the life, of an honest
letter-carrier, in a rather " untoward" predicament. A
letter from India arrived through the General Post-office,
addressed to the care of a person in Edinburgh. The hotter
was, of course, consigned to the postman of the district,
and delivered by him as directed. The individual, how-
ever,
who got the letter in charge, had, it appears, broke
open the seal and taken from under the wax an Indian Pa-
goda, after which he transmitted the letter, open, to its
ultimate destination. The Pagoda was soon missed by the
owner, who applied to the first receiver of the letter, and
he strenuously protested it came open to hint through the
postman's hands. Application was then made to the Gene-
ral Post-office, and the reference came ultimately to the
letter-carrier. He of course asserted his innocence, but so do
the most incorrigible rogues ; and the laws of the Post-office
being summary and severe, he soon understood that
measures were in progress for his apprehension anti im
peachment ! In this most vexatious of dilemmas that can
overtake an honest mind, the unfortunate letter-carrier
passed a sleepless and anxious night; and among the then-
sand and one thoughts that distracted him, there no doubt
occurred the idea, that a false oath from the thief and his
confederates might ensure him a voyage to Van Dieman's
Land, or perchance bring him to an ignominious end ! In
this state of painful uncertainty, be happened to call upon
a spirit dealer in the High-street, when, in a few minutes,
who should pop in, but the identical thief of the pagoda !
The fellow, on seeing Air. Graham, the letter• carrier allud-
ed to, abruptly left the shop; but the agitation produced
upon the parties by this unexpected rencontre, induced
the latter to explain to the shop-keeper the peculiar cir-
cumstances in which be was placed. The landlord imme-
diately recollected that the fugitive just gone nut had show-
ed him a foreign coin for sale, which he refused to pur-
chase ; that he returned some time after and told him he
had disposed of the c,,in in another quarter, and bad re-
ceived Bs. 6d. or 9s. 6d. for the pagoda! It is needless
to add, that the thief was forthwith apprehended.—
Scotaman.

&treble change at the beginning of next y'es
the mode of levying the duties of cristetnB
that part of the 'Rhine which belongs to

be only four, viz. at Emmerich, Dusseldorf, 0#

duties will not be diminished, indeed, for the
sent, but those taken at the remaining four Os,
houses will be increased. However, the on 11;?
ance of goods will be much facilitated by the le'
having to stop only four times. pi
