UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
George Clarke, a lighterman, was charged with a vio-
lent assault on a policeman.

The policeman being on duty in High-street, saw the
defendant act in a very brutal manner to afemale, whom
he struck a very violent blow in the face, from which
the blood flowed copiously. The policeman went up to
take him into custody, when he gave him a severe kick,
and was so outrageous that it took three policemen to
convey him to the station-house.

The MAGISTRATE inflicted the full penalty of 51. on
the defendant.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—Susannah Harvey, a very
fashionably-dressed young female, residing in elegantly
furnished apartments in John-street, Adelphi, was
brought up, charged by Police-constable No. 84 of the
C division, with conducting herself, between two and
three o'clock yesterday afternoon, as she proceeded along
George-street, Hanover-square, in so riotous a manner,
from intoxication, as to cause crowds to gather after her.
Mr. MALTBY asked the defendant what account she
had to give of herself ? Mrs. Harvey—I went to the
Bank of England yesterday morning, and I drew out
2251. I' received four 501. notes, and five Si. notes. I
had four sovereigns in my pocket besides. I afterwards
went to the Pantechnicon, and paid Si. for the ware-
housing of some of my furniture, and I was returning
thence when some refreshment I had taken and the heat
of the weather overcame me, and then the boys came up
and molested me.
Mr. MALTBY—But what has become of your money ?
Mrs. Harvey—l have not a farthing of it now. I gave
it into the care of the police-constable when he took
charge of me. _ _

The constable solemnly denied that he had seen any of
her property, excepting the diamond ring, which he had
given back to her, and she was then wearing it on her
finger.

The Inspector said she (defendant) had been charged
at That Court four or five times with drunkenness and
misconduct.

Mr. MALTBY said he was satisfied that she was
labouring under a delusion about her money. As she
had been charged before, he should fine her ss. for being
drunk.

Not having any money about her, she was locked up
until she procured it.

PURE WATER FOR LONDON.—MR. STUCKEY'S
PLAN OF FILTRATION.—We are much pleased to ob-
serve the rapid progress which this matter has made
since we first brought it before the notice of the public.
On the 25th ult. Mr. Stuckey's petition to the House of
Commons was presented by a member of the Govern-
ment, General Sir Frederick Trench. On Friday, the
29th, a similar petition was presented to the House of
Lords, by Lord Kenyon, on which Lord Brougham rose,
and bore the following powerful testimony to the pecu-
liar excellence of Mr. Stuckey's machine. He had wit-
nessed its performances, his Lordship said, " whether as
regarded the vast volume of water it poured forth, with
unequalled rapidity, or the perfect purity of the water so
poured forth, muddy and cloudy as it was when entering
the filter, it was certainly ohe of the most surprising,
useful, and beautiful inventions he had ever seen." On
&turday, the 30th, Mr. Hakes gave notice of his in-
tention to move, early next session, for a Select Commit-
tee upon the subject of filtration. We have also heard
that the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Lansdowne,
Lord Radnor, and other noblemen, have expressed a
strong interest in the subject. We may take this oppor-
tunity of mentioning, for the information of several gen-
tlemen who have applied at our office for Mr. Stuckey's
address in England, that his petition to the House of
Lords is dated from " 32, Upper North-place, Gray's
Imn-road."—Mechanic's Magazine.

TRIESTE, JULY 28.—Ife hear that Mr. Waghorn
will shortly arrive here, to make arrangements for trans-
mitting the East Indian mail by way of Trieste. This
will be a most advantageous circumstance for our city,
which, indeed, is admirably adapted by its geographical
position for this important purpose. Even now the mails
from Alexandria to London may be forwarded in twelve
or thirteen days at the most ; and this time will be much
shortened when the iron railway shall be completed, the
execution of which will be soon commenced at different
points.
