Yesterday. Old 3 1 Rkkosmod, the black pugilist, was brought be.
fore Mr. Muumuu.,charged by Mr. Teesdale, a chemist and drug-
gist, with assaulting him in the mouth and loosening his teeth.
The assault was clearly established,even by the adinission of Rich-
mond himself, and was altogether unprovoked and outrageous.
Mr. Moan= said he must order the defendant to give bail, un-
less the parties could make up the matter, which he could not help
thinking would be the best way.
The complainant's solicitor said that was quite impossible; the
assault was an outrageous one, and must be punished.
Mr. kinnum.r. hinted that the assault seemed to have btfo emu-
rattled on the spur of the moment, and entirely without malice
or premeditation s but the solicitor very properly insisted upon it
that he should And bail. lie did And bail, and was discharged.

The recent hot weather has been very fatal in Exeter,
from a disease of the cholera inorbus kind.
.A stone pillar at Ilchester, thirty feet high, was
nearly demolished by the wind on Wednesday night.
The three old houses, forming the western corner of
the intended opening to St. Bride's Church, and which
for a long time formed an impediment to the comple•
tion of this improvement to the metropolis, have been
sold, and are now being pulled down.

The great drought which prevailed all over France
has been succeeded by torrents of rain. At Lyons, in
fifty minutes, everything was nearly inundated, while
the thunder and lightning roared and flashed so in
tensely as to resemble the noise of battles. There was
also a dreadful storm at Bayonne; claps of thunder
succeeded each other incessantly, and the lightning fell
on several places, among the rest upon a ship, the.mast
of which it reduced to a cinder. 'There was a young girl
killed, and two men who were with her severely hurt.
The following extract from Segues Russian Cam-
paign is strongly illustrative of the scenes which ac-
companied the retreat of the French, and of the hu-

There are eery few who have resided long in the
neighboethooa of Drury-lane that have not occasiort4
ally met with Thomas Terran, better know* by`‘
the name of Dr. Tom Bowling. He entered the navy
as a surgeon in early life, and served in the American
war, which was with him a fa'vouriti sWect otconver-
sation. Though -nearly eighty yeais of age, he cop-
versed wi:h great vivacity. Nat having had aityme-
, dical practice, at least within the memory of his
r nearest acquaintance, the manner in with he•protstred
a livelihood was involved in mystery, which he had the
prudence never to remove. He s licked no aid_ from
those with whom he associated ; and therefore enjOyed,
at least among them, the, pleasure of seeming 'nat.
pendent. There was a ludicrous ostentatidh about his
character, which sometimes led him to go to the
pense of a shilling fire hackney coach, in which, wham
he arrived at his humble lodgings, he would annountes
with an air of importance, thit he had been visiting t
patient ; but the careof his uwa health was th! on! y,
matter that had been under his professinoai forth,:
last half century. He frequently wore an old velvet •
cap, of which he seemed not a little proud. It wa tr.e
only art;cle of costly manufacture in his polsessidn.—
He was supposed to be very poor, but appeared to cc.
joy life to the lx,t, and left enough t' defray the ex-
penses of a funeral. He resided for the last seven
years in Harford-court, Drurplane, so rib..cure and
secret, that, in former times, it would be supposed his
nights were passed in searching for the ptinosopher's
stone ; and was buried in St. Clement Danes, on - the
29th aims,.

The Board of Trade and Mines of Sweden hal re-

A new days ago Lord K.— went into one of tlfe
bitnks at Brighton for the purpose of getting a draft
cashed. His Lordship having written it, and signed
his name, presented it to the clerk, alien the latter re-
, quested that his Lordship would be good enough to odd
,his Christian name to the signature t Lord K-a:.:
though scarcely able to refrain from laughing, coolly
asked whether a Nobleman was ewer before requ'red to
write his Christian name? arid then, tearing up the
draft, walked out of the bank, and proceeded to ano-
ther house to get the affair concluded.
CRITICISM ON FeuALa Beaurv.—EYES.—The finest
eyes are those that unite sense and sweetness. Tile), should be able
to say much, and all chartningly. The look of sense is proportioned
to the depth from which the thought seems to issue; the look of
sweetness to an habitual readiness of sympathy,and unaffected wil-
lingness to please and be pleas Al. We need not be jealous of
Eyes affectionate and glad,
That scent to love whate'er they look upon ;
They have always a good stock in reserve fur their favourites; espe-
cially if, like those mentioned by the poet, they are conversant with
books and nature. Voluptuaries know not what they talk about
when they profess not to care for sense in a woman. Pedantry is
one thing; sense, taste, and apprehensiveness are another. Give
me an eye that draws equally from bead above and bean beneath ;•
that is equally full of ideas and feelings, of intuition and sensation.
If either must predominate let it be the heart. Mere beauty Is no-
thing at any time but a doll, and should be packed up and • sent -to
Brobdignag. The colour of the eye is a very secondary matter.
Black eyes are thought the brightest, blue the most feminine, grey
the keenest. It depends entirely on the spirit within. I have seers
ill these colours change characters; though I must own, that when
a blue eye looks ungentle, ft stems more out of character than
the extremest diversity expressed by others.—Nns Mcnethli Meg.
