MARGATE, Ocrosza 25.

We here experience the most extraordinary weather; the atmos
phere so hot, that doors and windows are open till near d&ght.
The Sun, on Saturday and Sunday, shot forth the same rays of heat
as in the dog days; each night we had incessant lashes of lightning.
and last evening the whole horizon was illuminated, and the illumi-
nation was attended by thunder.
The sea is covered with Dutch boats; they are fishing vessels,
crossing over to collect bags of white Hour, and the Thanet ginger.
bread. Each of these articles is a Mute &niche to a Mynbeer.

Manchester came over front Itantsgate yesterday.
Those who delight in rich and variegated scenery—views that
are picturesque and extensive—let them resort to Minster. and
view the hills of Kent covered with verdure. And should they
not feel gradfied, let them repair to the groves of laburnum, now in
full Sower, around the land of the Marquis Coaynshaut.

Wednesday morning, a little before one o'clock, a
gang of resurrection men were disturbed, while in the
act of plundering a recently-made grave of its inmate,
in a burial ground at Bowling-green Lane, Clerkenwell.
An alarm was made by the watchman stationed near
the gate of the New Prison, when at the extremity of his
beat, who together with some Gentlemen, who were
passing as the moment, got over the wall into the
ground, and there discovered a recently-made grave,,
which had been emptied of its mould to within about a
foot of the coffin, and close to it a spade a coat, and a
pair of gloves, which no doubt were left by the plun-
derers in their hurry to escape, which they effected over
the wall in a retired part of the burial ground.

He was immediately knocked down by a brickbat, and
one of the assailants immediately presented a bayonet
to his throat. "Oh, you wretch," exclaimed the Cardi-

seen you is this barbarous action?" The man ininsedia

FZMALZ /MIDI WM.—At one of the representations
of the Opera of Anglia, a youthful and comely dame
was seated in the same box with her lever and her hus•
band—nothing is more common. The lover was at her
side, the husband behind. The play began, and the
whole of the audience were listening with profound at-
tendon to the passage in which Rinaldo says to Arraida—
“ Ali could you prove so crud
As take thy bean away,
My hie would follow after,
And leave this worthless clay."
The dame, at once moved and softened by the charms of
the singer's voice, and the words, advanced her foot,
and gently pressed the foot that was nearest to her. In
an instant her husband, with conjugal gravity, said,
" You have made a mistake, Madam." These words
came like a thunderbolt. The young man was dumb;
when, by a presence of mind worthy of her sex, the,
Lady exclaimed that she had made no mistake, reproach.
ed her husband in the keenest terms for his injustice,'
and told him he was unworthy of a wife of so much
sensibility, finishing by the means always resorted to in
extreme cases, by declaring that she was ill. The re-
pentant husband was all humility, confessed his error,
and entreated pardon, which was with difficulty granted.
After such a suffering, a nervous attack naturally super.
vened, and rendered it necessary to quit the theatre.—
The husband, who was engaged, begged the young man
to have the goodness to see the Lady home. It may be,
presumed that f..e succeeded in charming down her ner-
vous attack, while the enchanted husband was congratu-
lating himself on possessing so rare a partner.—Le Furd.
Yesterday se'nnight, an Inquisition was taken at
Glemsford, on the Rev. Wm. Wtgsel Jardine, who was
killed by a fall from a low four-wheeled carriage. Mr.
Jardine, with John Barker, Eq. of Clare Priory, were
on their way to that town on the preceding Monday
evening; Mr. Barker was driving his pony in the phae-
ton, and on their descending Glemsford Hill, the animal
set off at full speed, upon which Mr. Barker pulled the
right hand rein with a view of stopping the pony by
drawing the carriage into the ditch ; unfortunately the
rein broke, and the Gentleman decided upon jumping'
out; Mr. Jardine fell upon his head, and compression
of the brain was the consequence, which terminated his
life on the Wednesday afternoon; Mr. Barker was much
hurt by his fall, but it is hoped he has not received any
material injury. The animal, after the. accident, ran
with great fury through Stanstead and Melford, and
jumped over the turnpike gate between Melford and
Sudbury, drawing the cartage after it, and breaking
the gate, and it' was not stopped till it had aeatly
reached Sudbury. It was an aged animal, Mr. Barker
having had it more than 16 years;
. and the cause of its
setting off was the carriage pressim upon it when going
down. the bill at a rapid sateogrVerdict, Accidental

GUILDHALL

Mr. AO, the Master of St. Bride's Workbook, appeared upon
a *mit eir assauhing Mrs. Knott, a pauper.
Ike stated she was sitting at dinner on the 24th inst. when Mr.
Mott came into her ward and insisted upon knowing the contents of
a letter, and to whom it was directed, which she bad written. She
thought he had no right to make these inquiries, and declined an-
swering; and he, at the instigation of the Matron, after again in-
sisting upon knowing 'chat she had been writing about, dragged her
by force to the black hole, in which she was confined two hours, and
then released to be sent off to a farm-house. She refused to be
separated from her children, and to avoid being carried away in a
strait jacket, which was produced, she declined farther parish relief. '
The Master of the Workhouse, in reply, pleaded that be was told
by the parish eaters that she was a wicked woman, who made a
great stir in the parish by complaining of ill treatment, in the Work-
house two years ago, and he thought be had a right to see her
letter, and that her refusal amounted to refractoriness.
Mrs. Knott called two at the paupers, but they did not su
her charge, which was dismissed by the Alderman, who that
Keepers of Workhouses and Prisons bad a right to inspect Whetters.
