GREENWICH..

Frederick Hilder, who has for a short time been
residing in the Greenwich-road, Greenwich, and
carrying on the business of a greengrocer, was placed
at the bar, before Mr. Grove, charged with bigamy,
he having married a . widow of the name of Eliza
Seal, on the Bth of last month, at the church of St.
Alphap.:e, Greenwich, his wife, whose maiden naive
was Maria _Brian, being alive, and whom he married
on the 29th of August, 1822, at the church of St.
Mary, Lambeth.
Mr. Burton, the usher of the Court, informed the
worthy Magistrate, that the duped women were •in
such a state of excitement, in consequence of the un
manly and brutal conduct of the prisoner, that they
were unable to attend to give evidence against him,
and wished the case to stand over until this day, when
in all probability they would be more composed and
collected.

Mr. GROVE said that the case, under these circum-
stances, should be postponed as requested.

General Hospital :—The wife of a manufacturer of fire-
works, living in Christmas-street, Bristol, some years
back, one day commanded her servant to go up
_ to the
attic, and bring some article that was needed. The girl
returned. " Where have you left the candle ?" said the
mistress. "I stuck it, ma'am, in the barrel of black seed
there." "Go," rejoined the mistress, very coolly, " and
bring the candle down, and take care you drop no grease
upon the seed." The maid had stack a lighted candle
'llWe:barrel of gunpowder She' returned tgaldtt !--
