UNION-HALL.

Sarah Dowdell, the wife of a master butcher, residing-
at No. 5, Exeter- street, Great Dover-road, was brought
before Mr. Cottingttam, charged with wilfully throwing
a quantity of vitriol in her husband's -face, and inflicting
such injuries as to deprive him wholly of the sight of one
eye, and partially of the other. The outrage was perpe-
trated last month, since which period the unfortunate
complainant has been an inmate of Guy's Hospital, and
was unable to attend this Court until yesterday. The
complainant was brought from the Hospital in. a coach,
and supported into the Court by two policemen., He ap-
peared to be still suffering severely from the effects of the
dreadful nature of the outrage committed upon him. His
face was swollen and inflamed from the corrosive liquid,
and both his eyes were closed, and the sight of one, if
not both, destroyed. His general health also appeared
to be affected, being naturally a stout man : he had be-
come a mere skeleton.

The complainant, on being sworn, stated that the pri-
soner was his wile, and that they were married two
years ago, but not agreeing, they separated about three
months ago, since which period he had been paying her
a weekly allowance. After they had been apart one
month, she came to him and wished him to take her
home again, which he refused, and she went away; but
she came repeatedly to his shop afterwards, and annoyed
him in his business. On Easter Sunday he sent herthe
usual allowance, and the same night at ten o'clock, while
he was sitting in his parlour, he heard a knock at the
shutters, and went to the door and saw his wife, who
exclaimed, " Be careful, or you \via repent this, for I
will have my revenge." Ho made her no answer, and
she went away; and the same night, about a quarter to
eleven o'clock, he went to the Bull public-house, near his
residence, and saw his wife walking backwards and for-
wards on the Opposite side of the way. When he came out
of the house, the prisoner came up to him at the door and
asked him if he would stand some gin; he made her no
reply, but walked towards home, and in a moment after-
wards, she being close at his side, he observed her draw
something from underneath her cloak resembling a hason
and throw the contents full in his face, exclaiming at the
time, " This is what I have long wished for; now I've
got my revenge." The moment the liquor was dashed in
his face he felt the most agonizing torture, particularly as
a portion of it had entered his eyes, and in the height of
pain he called out that his wife had destroyed him, when
a policeman came up and supported him back to the Bull
public-house, from whence he was conveyed to Guy's
Hospital, where he had remained ever since. He added,
that when his wife had committed the outrage.she ran
away..

Wood, a policeman, stated, that he apprehended the
prisoner on the preceding night, near the Bull, the scene
of the outrage. He told her that she must go to the
station-house, and she expressed her readiness, saying,
that she was quite ready, for she had been in hell for
the last two years, and that he could not take her to a
worse hell than she had been to. As they were going
along, she said she had great cause for acting in the
manner she had done towards her husband. She, how-
ever, expressed no regret or contrition for the act, even
when informed that her husband's sight was destroyed.
Mr. Pope, a surgeon of Guy's Hospital, described the
serious nature of the injuries inflicted on the complain-
ant owing to a quantity of vitriol being flung into his
face. That the sight of one eye was entirely gone, the
organ being completely burnt out of the socket, and that
it was a matter of chance if ever he received the sight
of the other.

Mr. COTTIMGHA3I characterised the offence as one of
the most fiendish description, and that instead of the
person who committed it evincing any contrition at
seeing a husband deprived of one of the greatest of
God's blessing, his sight, by her hand, she, on the con-
trary, manifested no concern about it. She was then
committed for trial.

REGENTS PARK AND PRIMROSE lIILL.—The
favourable issue of the negotiations between the Commissioners
of Woods and Forests, and the authorities of Eton College,
have opposed an effectual barrier to the buildings which were
gradually encroaching upon the green fields of this healthy
district. The College, it is understood, consented to an ex-
change of property—namely, to assign to the Crown their
title to this celebrated land of Cockaigne, and to receive, as a
consideration, certain lands and houses situated at Eton. This
agreemenqhas been ratified.

THE WEATHER. IN SPAlN.—Cadiz notthe only
town in Spain suffering from the extraordinary season. Letters
from Xeres and Seville represent an equally lamentable state of
things there, and in the surrounding country. It: consequence
OF the severe and drying north winds, and the frost, which has
been of almost unprecedented severity in that climate, water
and provisions have failed, and the vines and olives, and crops
of barley, beans, and other grain, are almost entirely cut off,
and the great mass of labourers are thrown out of employment.
Public prayers, for relief from these calamities, have been put
up in the churches of all the three towns. Many of the people, i
in their superstition, attribute the infliction to the differences
with the Pope, as Vicar-Cieneral of Christ. 1
