A hard-working middle-aged woman applied, by the name of
Nicholls, to the Sitting Magistrate fur a warrant against a Iran
named Harris, to whom she had been married, but who, she had
,_lately discovered, had previously led two others to the hymeneal
altar. He was a native of Devonshire, where, under the name of
Hawkins, be married his Ern wife. His second resides in Clerk-
enwell, but applicant did not know her precise address. Harris is
now a porter, in the service of Messrs. Hell and Harper of the Je-
rusalem Coffee-house. Since her discovery of his duplicity, appli-
cant removed from her concubinous partner, and taking a small
hou.se in the Camberwell New Road, was enabled, by the assistance
of her friends, to procure a mangle, and. by which she had until
now earned a living. Harris, however, having found her out, bad
now taken possession of her little property, and by his violent con-
duct had that morning driven her from her house, and compelled
her to make the present application.

An article from Turin notices some extraordinary in-
ventions of a peasant genius, named Misera, a native
of Montefalcone, near Chien. Independent of some
curious efforts in watch•m eking, he has produced a
piece of mechanism, of polished bras 4 con sisting of
David, with his. harp, seated on a throne, which pen.
duces musical sounds resembling• an organ, and the
whole contained in• the head of a cane. He has also
succeecred in perfecting, unassisted by the aid of musical
knowledge, an instrument which has received the name
of the Mus'so Grafo. To this is added another instru-
ment, called the Paniosono, which will repeat the
notes communicated to it by the Musico Grqlo, and
which may . with facility be adapted to an organ or
piano. In addition to these useful inventions connected
with the fine arts, he has communicated to the. Royal
Arsenal, a method of turning and polishing gun-
b irrels -10 or 12 at a time, and fcr polishing all kinds
of metals; it is turned by means of water.
An interesting. young woman yesterday coMpliined
at Mar.lhorough-street, of one of those scoundrels who
inveigle young girls into the idea of marriage, and then
take the first opportunity of robbing and forsaking
them. The offender is a tailor, and, whilst the de.
hided creature was dressing for a walk, he went to
her box, and took about sot. the savings of her whole
life, and decamped.
