ings, landlord of the Coach and Horses, Welbeck-street;
appeared on an information of Miller, an inspector, who
charged him with keeping his house open for the sale of
liquors before one in the afternoon of Sunday, the 16th

called to prove that no liquors were sold, when Mr. Raw-
linson dismissed the case.
Joseph Morgan, the youth charged with wounding
dangerously Mrs. Brown, the wife of a carpenter, while
shooting at sparrows, again appeared on his bail at

MIS C ELLAIMIOIIB.
The reporter of a Morning Contemporary, in his de-
scription of the Royal Christening, after stating that
" the heart-stirring cheers of the people rent the air
with an emulative ardour," and that at the sight of the
young Prince they " burst forth with a joy almost fran-
tic," modestly adds, " we de not pretend tt be any
.judges of fine or precocious children but several old
ladies near us protested that a finer boy they had never
laid eyes on than the Prince."--There is a good deal of
the-old lady in this description, which is remarkable for
its superannuated eloquence.

a sort of imaginary relic of the water of the river Jordan,
