UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
John Dunns; a sailor, was charged with crt,ating a
disturbance in the Surrey Theatre.
The defendant, who had just arrived from India,
went to the Surrey Theatre on the preceding night,
where he had not been long, before he commenced
"Rule Britannia" duiing the perrormance. He was
requested to desist, but instead of paying any regard
to the caution, he sung out the louder, until at length
a general cry of " Turn him out" resounded through
the house. Jack, however, regardless of the " storm"
that he had raised, changed the tune to that of
" Yankee Doodle," and accompanied it by violently
stamping on th 6 floor. He continued the disturbance
until he was ejected, which took three men to accom-
plish before they got him out of the pit.
Jack said that he had been abroad ten years, and
that he was so delighted with all that was passing
around him in the theatre, that he could not help
expressing his delight by giving the national air. He
added that he was a little " top heavy," or he should
not have " run out so much cable."
He was fined for an assault on the policeman, which
he paid, and, giving a hitch up to his trousers made an
awkward bow and quitted the Court.

THE IVIARKETS—(THIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE.
The supplies of all sorts of Grain were small.
Wheat was firm in value, with a fair demand for
foreign. Barley, Beans, and Peas unvaried. Oats
met a good de:nand at rather higher prices. The
Flour trade was dull.

ALA rtmitic, .ACCIDENT.—rGREENWICH, Nov. 1.—
Yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock; an alarming
accident occurred •O Lady Stopford, wife of Admiral
Sir Robert Stopford, K.C:B., Governor of Green-
wich Hospital, and to the Hon. Miss StOpford. It
appears that the ladies, with a female friend, were
taking an airing in an open carriage over Blackheath,
when, near to the residence of the Princess Sophia
Matilda, the horses shied, as is supposed, at some of
the donkies, and sprang over .a large mound by the
side of the road. We
.regret to say that the ladies
were thrown out, and were more or less injured.
Miss Stopford received the most serious injury, her
face being cut by the gravel. The coachman and
footman were thrown off the box, but escaped with
some slight bruises. On the horses getting up, they
struggled and kicked, nearly destroying the carriage,
and, breaking: away with the splinter bar, dashed
down Blackheath-hill, at a rapid rate, and were with
great difficulty stopped. Lady Stopford and the other
ladies were conveyed home in another carriage.
The horses in her Ladyship's carriage were very much
injured. On inquiring at Greenwich Hospital this
morning, the reporter ascertained that Lady and Miss
Stopford had not suffered more severely than at first
conceived, and had recovered from the alarm occa-

Lord Brougham hss arrived in Grafton-street, from
Brougham Hall, Penrith, and we believe his Lordship
contemplates a visit to his estate at Cannes, in the
south of France, before the meeting of Parliament.
Lady Brougham, who has been passing six weeks at
Leamington Spa for the improvement of her health,
has also returned to town.
HIGIIWAY ROBBERY.--On the evening of Saturday
last, the following daring highway robbery, attended
with violence, was committed on Wimbledon-com-
mon. It appears that as a journeyman carpenter,
named William Byford, was returning to town from
Kingston, he was, about eight o'clock, while crossing
Wimbledon-common, attacked by two men, who pre-
senting pistols to his breast, with loud imprecations,
demanded his money, and having robbed him of half.
a-sovereign, as well as 1/. 6s. in silver, and a red and
yellow handkerchief, took from him also two baskets
of tools; with which they 50t clear off before he could
raise an alarm. Byford is unable to give any other
description of the men than that one was dressed in a
dark great coat, and the other in a pilot coat.
COWES, TUESDAY AFTERNOON.-1 nere has not been
up to the present time, any intelligence of the British
Queen steamer from New York to this port and Ant-
werp. Although she has been hourly expected here
for some days past, her non-arrival did not cause any
uneasiness, as it was announced in the papers
that she would not leave New York until
the 10th or 12th of October, instead of
the 7th ; and although she ought to have
been here last Thursday, even if she left on the 12th;
her not arriving was accounted for on the supposition
that she had delayed her departure from America be-
yond that date. It being now ascertained from the
recent accounts from New York, that she left that
port on her usual day of sailing, the 7th, some
Friday-week, allow-
ing her fifteen days for her passage' which was the
