MA RLBOROUGH-STREET.

Saturday, three corporals of the Id, or Coldstream Regiment of
Foot Guards, were brought from St. Gilees watch-house, before
Mr. Drag, the sitting Magistrate, charged with an outrageous
and desperate assault upon some of the constables of that parish.—
They gave their names Isaac lawn, James Long, and James Wit-
Gems. Such was the serious nature of the assault considered, that
the once was crowded with the Parish Authorities, and their So-',
licitor, who attended to conduct the investigation on the part of the
constables. A long examination took place, at the close of which
Mr. Daum, the Magistrate, said that this was a case which re.
quired a very serious investigation, and if not a felony, bordered
very close upon it. Tinder all the circumstances, he should remand
the prisoners until Wednesday next, and in the meantime it would
be well if the Parish Solicitor would have a communication with
the Military Authorities upon the subject.
A serjeant of the Regiment, who was in attendance, said that he
came by order of the Commanding °Seer to know bow the men
were to be disposed of.

Mr. Drell said/ that for the present they should be committed to
Clerhenwell prison.—The prisoners were then remanded.

A private of the 62d Regiment unfortunately lost his
life, on Thursday evening, while both* between the bathing ma-
chines and Southsea Castle, Portsmouth.
SUGAR.—In the year 1828, 413,400 cwts. of British
refined sugar were exported from England, and 44,772 cwts. from
Scotland.

The proprietors of the Mersey and Irwell Navigation
have presented to the Natural History Society of Man-
chester, the head of „Old Billy," a horse which died in
their service at the age of sixty-two years !
The number of gifts and legacies, being 1600, left
to Public Establishments in France, during the year
1829, amounts to 4,728,098 francs, of which 2,470,000
have been left to hospitals and the poor.
A poor woman, the widow of an Irish soldier, re-
cently returning from India, with three children, con-
ducted herself with so much propriety, that the passen-
gers raised a subscription of forty sovereigns for her.
With this store of wealth, which in her circumstances
was incalculable, she arrived in Bristol, on her way to
Ireland, and took lodgings in Fos's-court, Pithay ; here
the ardency of her feelings prompted her to confess her
good fortune to the good woman of the house, and she
sailed the following day in the packet for Cork : having
occasion, howeVer, on her voyage to search her little
bundle for some article for the children, she discovered
that she had been robbed, and immediately became al-
most frantic with grief, calling upon the Captain to
stop the ship, &c. She returned, however, the day after
reaching Cork, and having obtained the assistance of
an able and active Police-ocer of Bristol, paid a visit
to the good imams in the Palmy, and was fortunate
enough, by great diligence in search, and some skill in
poiirtraying theterrors of the law, to recover back thirty-.
four of her lost sovereigns.
