I:am:AS AT TJIE GUARDS CLUIi usE.—Yasttrday
respectably dressed young man, who gave his name as John
Lawrence, and described himself as a linen-draper, resid.ng at
No. 20, Wi;s'ead-street, sowers-town, was char,zed before
r. Hardwick, with violently assaulting Sir Fredurick
Bathurst. About half-past eleven o'clock on Thursday night
the defendant and two of his friends, who were out no the
" spree" together, and had each more or less taken a greater
portion of strong drink than proper discretion would hare
sanctioned, were passing up St. James's-street, and on reach-
ing opposite to the Guards Club House, one of the defendants
friends ru,liod up the steps, and forcing Lis way by the hall
porter, intruded hintselt into one of the apartim.mts where
several Members of the Club were assembled, and commenced
loudly vociferating his orders tin- gin and water and a pipe of
tobacco ; he was remonstrated with by the attendants and
begged to retire, but this he obstinately refused to
do, and eventually he was thrust forth into the street,
which so excited the ire of the defendant, that he rushed forwa,l
in aid of his ejec'ed companion and commenced laying about
hint in good earnest with his fists ; iii -fart, indiwritninate/y
striking at every person that came within his reach. In the
etcher, Sir Frederick Bathurst, who is as passing into the club,
was struck by the defendant a severe blow on the eye, which
alighly blackened it. The Gallant Officer, however, turned
to, and repaid the indignity wilt interest, greatly to the
comfiture of the defendant. The police coining up •,,t the
instant, and finding the defendant was the aggressor, rook him
to the statiin -house, his two friends having in the ibterim ran
away.
Before the case was called for hearing, the defendant ex-
pressed to Sir Frederick Bathurst his regret at what had
occurred ; and on naming his station in life, Sir Frederick
consented not to press the charge, on condition of hi. giving
ss. to the office poor-box, which, in addition to the thrashing
he got, was thought a sufficient punishment for his drunken
freak. The delendant willingly complied with this proposition,
and was of course discharged. Ile stated, on leaving the office,.
that Ins companion, who forced his way into tke Club-house,
had his shoulder dislocated in the scuffle.

BRAND ESTON HALL ESTATE.
The Great P. Run at Mart was yesterday nume-
rously crowded by capitalists, many of them in the ex-
pectation of gettity; a great bargain, from the eiretuu-
stanes being rumoured that required the sale to be a
peremptory one. Mr. George Robins delivered ti long
and very animated exordium, in which he praised very
highly the measures adopted by Sir Robert Peel for
setting at rest the differences of. opinion regardtng the
Corn-laws. lle stated that it was impossible for human
wisdom to have allotted a more sensible, just, and honest
arrangement, as between thr landowners and the public;
it was, in fact, a measure altogether worthy of the high
renown of our highly-gifted Minister. In this strain
Mr. Robins went on for a lengthened period, and evi-.
dently succeeded in carrying his audience entirely wlth
him in the view he took of the stability now of landed it
vestment as compared with the uncertainty of previous
vears. The rental is 1,0001. n-year, and with a suppo-
sititious value only for the mansion and manors, said to
be 1,200/. n-year ; but the real annual value was confi-
dently declared to be from 1,0001. to 1,2001. a-yoar,
He sold the estate for 10,000 guineas, independently of
the timber, which is to be taken at a fair 'ruination. .17r.
Wood, the solicitor of Woodbridge, was the purehaux
for one of his Suffolk clients. The event of vesturday is
one of importance, inasmuch as it proves the wislont
displayed by Sir Robert Peel, and demonstrates a fact
winch before was doubtful, that his arrangement of the
Corm laws has not at all deteriorated the A-uhtt of laud.

coining novel of
inn the
piquant, but rather mysterious title of " The Lottery of Life,"
is looked for with unusual curiosity and interest, and the noire
so from the dearth of good works.. of fiction during the present
season.
64 The Lottery of Life' Is, as we understand, strictly
answerable to that part of its title svhich indicates its reality;
it is a tale busying itself with the actual " Life" of Ow own
day and country—in the knowledge of which this popular writer
is sot richored, and the many-coloured chances and changes
of ich she ly st
h as so successfully depicted in her previous works.
The present --iolutnes, if report speak truly of them, contain
not a few portraits of characters in the higher grades of Eng-
lish hre, which, whether so intended or not, will doubtless be
assigned to existing " originals'—sshether justly ar no, rellning
to be judged of when the work makes its appearance—which it.
is, we believe, on the point of doing immediately.
