MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Elizabeth Brown, a bouncing dame, of gaudy exterior,
residing at No. 23, Rupert-street, Haymarket, preferred a
charge of indecent assault against Antoni Peto, a musta-
chioed foreigner, stopping at the Brunswick Hotel, Jermyn-
street. She stated that at half-paat eleven o'clock last night,
she was passing the above Hotel, when the defendant,
attired in a cloak, came out and invited her to accompany
him into the lintel, in order to take a glass of wine. She
refused, and he took an indecent liberty, which induced
her to push him away. His hat fell off, and she ran away,
and claimed protection of a gentleman whom she saw in
the street. The defendant, however, after he had given his
cloak to the waiter, who was at the door of the hotel, fol-
lowed and kicked her in a most brutal manner, and after-
wards .truck her in the mouth. She then pointed out a
gentleman who had witnessed the whole transaction, who
gave his address, Mr. Lamden, No. 21, Jermyn-street.
He corroborated the statement of the complainant, and de-
scribed the defendant's conduct to have been most unmanly.
The waiter stated that the complainant had passed and
repassed the hotel, and had first beckoned the defen-
dant, and that finding he would not attend her, she then
struck him. The defendant himself admitted having struck
her with his open hand, on her bonnet, in consequence of
gross conduct on her part, hut positively denied having
kicked her.

Mr. CoNANT questioned the complainant as to her re-
spectability, and her business out at that time of night. She
stated, that she was the wife of a gentleman's valet, and
was going home from a friend's.
The defendant was then ordered to find bail.

Mr. Plank, the Chief Officer, observed to the complain-
ant, that these accidents happened to her very frequently
(having been at this office several times before), when she re-
proachedhim in no measured terms, with being no friend of
her's. Mr. P. thanked his stars that he was not, and she left
the office in loving consultation with Mr. Lamden. The
foreigner, having made his peace with her, • by the media-
tion of two little pieces of English gold, called Sovereigns,
was also allowed to depart, with the intimation, that
" woman is like a 'porcupine, not to be rashly touched."

_
DEATH OF LADY MEADOWS.-011 Wed-
nesday morning, this amiable and excellent Lady died at
Raheen, near Clc,nnael, at the age of seventy-nine years.
The death of Ludy Frances Meadows has caused in this
town but one feeling—that of grief and sorrow for the loss
of one, whose benevolence vas as boundless as her charity
was inexhaustible. Lady Frances Meadows was the widow
of the late General Sir William Meadows, K. 8., and sister
to the late Captain Hatnerton, of Hamerton, in this county.
The remains of this justly venerated Lady will be interred
at Rathronan church, an edifice that was erected at her
own expence.— Tipperary

CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.--The new architec-
tural arrangements at Christ's Hospital are rapidly pro-
ceeding, and will soon be
completed. The great dining
hall, when finished, will extend 180 feet in length ; it is
in the style of the reign of Henry VIII., and is copied, with
a few dissimilarities, not of a striking or obvious nature,
from the hall at Hampton Court Palace. When finished,
it will be one of the most magnificent bauqueting-rocars in
England.
Thesummit of Mount Caucasus is cleft
into two
peaks, which, as the Armenians say, was occa-
sioned by the keel of the ark grazing it on its passage to
Ararat.
