A FACETIOUS WITNESS.—In a trial at our
Quarter Sessions, for stealing a watch from the bed-room
of Mr. George Poynter, at Willingham, the following
conversation took place, on cross-examination, between
the prosecutor and Mr. Byles, Counsel for the prisoner :
—Mr. Byles—Where do you live ? Mr. Poynter—At
Willingham ; but lam not a Willingham man. What
are you ? An engineer ; I was apprenticed to Henry
Maudeslay, partner to Sir Isambert Brunel, of Thames
Tunnel.notoriety. Well, what else are you ? Why, I
am a gunsmith,—locksmith, and bellhanger, iron-arm,
and lathe-maker, edge-tool-maker, watch and clock
Taker and repairer, mathematical instrument maker,
weighing-machine, scale, and steelyard maker, knife
maker and grinder, publican and licensed victualler, and
an old man-of-war's man. and was engaged in the glo-
rious action between the Shannon and the Chesapeake.
In fact, lam half-brother to Caleb Quotem. Are you
not a conjurer as well ? 0 yes, that I am ; Monsieur
Testot was a fool to me ; and if you are willing I will
show you one or two tricks. What can you do ? Well,
if you will alloW me, and mot consider I am insulting,
I will tell you. Oh, certainly, go on ! Then, if you
will just take off your wig, and get the gentleman next
you to grease your head, I will swallow you whole, and
then you will be no more trouble to yourself nor any
one else—(Loud laughter, in which the Court and the
Learned Counsel joined.) Mr. Byles—You may stand
clown, Sir.—Cambridge Independent.
THE ANTI-CORN-LAW BAZAAR.--Since our
last, every thing has been progressing in connection with
the approaching bazaar ; and we recollect no former one
ever exiting that universal and absorbing interest which
this appears to do, amongst the fair and gentle " opera-
tives" who are working for it in every part of the king-
dom. Every possible species-of needlework—more even
than are treated of by the Countess of Wilton in her book
—knitting, netting, lace-making, embroidery, &c., are in
requisition for the contribution of articles of costume, use,
and ornament. Committees and sub-committees, some
of ladies, others of gentlemen, are meeting ; honorary
and assistant secretaries have their time fully occupied in
writing to various quarters, and in acknowledging the
receipt of donations in money, and contributions in kind,
from all parts of the kingdom. Authors, publishers, and
booksellers are contributing copies f their works ;
poets are writing Verses in...celebration of the occasion ;
and one poetical " Invitation to the Bazaar" is to be set
to music. Bazaar quadrilles, waltzes, &c., are in prepa-
ration; and in every department of literature, science,
and the arts, the contributions promise to be both " rich
and rare." Nor is there any lack of that species of con-
tribution which is always acceptable, and which can al-
ways command prompt disposal—we mean hard cash, of
which at least 2001. has bden already received by, or
notified to, the Committee. • Thus every thing is going
on with a spirit which promises to make the Manchester
Theatre Royal, during the bazaar week, one of the most
dazzling and profusely crammed temples and marts of
fancy ever witnessed either by oriental or occidenta
eyes.—Manchester Guardian.

A MILITARY NIGHT LARK.—AbOUI one
o'clock on Wednesday morning three young military offi-
cers belonging to different depot... stationed in Canterbury,
on returning home from the theatre, amused themsaives
with hallooing, hooting, and hurrahing as loud as their
lungs would permit them. On being met by Morley,
a policeman, they were requested to proceed quietly on
their way; for that, if they did not, he must take them
into custody. One of them tneti tiegaz to scream and
moan in so shocking a manner that two ot} it police-
-men, hearing the noise and thinking that it was some
old lady who had received some kind of hurt, ran to
the spot to render her assistance. The officers, however,
still refused to proceed peaceably. to their homes, and
they were taken to the station-house, where they him •
diately found bail,sand appeared to answer to the char,e
before the Magistrates' Court at eleven o'clock the same
morning. The Magistrates dismissed the case, after
giving the parties a severe reprimand for their noisy con-
'duct.—Dover Chronic
