HATTON-GARDEN.

Yesterday James Memnon, a bey 15 years of age, of recrectab'e
appearance, was charged by Sarah ELliot, his !nether, a latmdre•4
living in Beauchanip-street, with :ebbing ber to a great am,.411::.
The poor woman was haraUy able to give utterance to her comply t.
She stated that she was a widow, with foe children, of vehoni
prisoner is she e:dest ; she got her living by washing and itunin,,
and letting ready-furaished leelgings; she brought up her child ea
respectably, and they *anted for nothing; but none of her lodg;te
would remain, in consequence of the numerous robberies cuniniitted
on them by the prisoner, which she had frequently to make poi.
to prevent his being prosecuted. He feetinently stole the sheet•,
table-linen, Bcc. intrufted to her to wash, which he pawned, and :be
had to release; and he collected the bills owing to her, without het
knowledge, and spent rbc money with his profligate compann.r,.
She had him before at this (Mice once ar twice, and each tone :he
begged him off, hi hopes that be would mend; instead of which he
got wont, and else was fearful he would bring her and her other
children to claim parish relief, and come himself to an untimely
rad. On therm:Wing night, be stole two gowns, two sheets, aid
a silk baadkaachiaf oat unser drawer. which le pledged for 9s. isi
spent the tnaoss• airing her statettatet she was absorbed in tea.,
sod the hardened lough heard the charge with the greatest ladder-
aux. He win esmasitted fee further examination, and as be ir.4
taboo haw the bar his 'badger threw her area round his neck,..l4
bathed him with ber tears.

CREDULlTY.—Carmarthen Fair, on Thursday last,
was but thinly attended, owing, we understand, to a
most absurd alarm, founded upon an ancient prophecy,
of Merlin, that on that day the town was to be utterly
destroyed by inundations. Hundreds of people abso-
lutely retired from the town to the neighbouring villages,
to avoid the threatened danger, and, indeed, so great
was the terror of some of those poor deluded creature-,
that they even set off on the preceding day for Swansea,
and other towns.

ANrcnova.—Madame de Getaces, in a work on the
subject of Time, lateiy published in Paris, justly men-
tions the Chancellor d'AnueasetAti as one of those mea
who have lost as few minutes as possible in this short
life; and relates of him the following curious anec-
dote: " Observing that Madame d'Accresseau always
delayed ten or twelve minutes before she c.ame down
to dinner, he composed a work entirely in this time, in
order not to lose au instant: the result was, at the end
of fifteen years, a book in three large volume; quarto,
which has gone through several editiver, and is much
esteemed." Madame de GENUS does not mention the
tide of this book.
