POLICR.

B3W-STREET Smith was charged with assault
ing, with intent to rob, N. Galby. The prosecutor,
who is butler to Earl I'oulett, was passing up Con-
stitution-hill, about ten o'clock on Saturday ever.ing,
when the prisoner came tin to him, and, clapping his
hand on his shoulder, said'to him, " You are a Gen-
tleman, and I am a poor man without employment,
and I must have Eg. Witness said, " you are mis-
taken, I am not a Gentleman," upon which the pri-
soner exclaimed, you —, its no use talking," and
struck him behind the car, which knocked him into
the middle of the road. Ile recovered himself in-
stantly, and turned round to meet the prisoner, who
advanced towards him in a menacing attitude, and
before he could strike, witness hit him on the nose
and felled him. The prisoner jumped up, and was
renewing the attack, when witness again knocked
him down, and he called out, " Bill, come along, he
is doing me." Another man then came up, and they
both attacked the witness, and a general fight com-
menced, during which the latter called as loud as he
could " Murder! Thieves !" &c. but no one came to
his assistance. He fought with them for a very con-
siderable period, and knocked them both down seve-
ral times, but he was at last overpowered, and they
got him down on his back in the road. The poi,
sorer got hold of his neckcloth, and swearing that he
would knock out his brains, he beat his head upon'
the ground while the other was rifling-his pockets,
but could find no money. When he was fist at-
tacked he took his purse from his pocket and put it
inside of his neckcloth. They then said " if. they
could not have his blunt, they would have his life;
when a boy came running-towards them, and the
man called Bill ran away first, after stamping upon
witness's stomach, and exclaiming, " There, you
—, take that." The sight of the bey gave the wit-
ness fresh courage, and he got hold of the prisoner,
by the throat, and after a hard struggle; he and thi
boy succeeded in getting him up to the gate. Wit-
ness asked the gatekeeper why he did not come to
his assistance ? and he said he had called the watch-.
man, but he refused to come. A watchman then
came up, and witness gave .charge of the prisoner,
but the latter at the same moment accused witness
of assaulting him, and the watchman was in doubt
which to take into custody, when Jefferies, the pa-
trol, came up and secured the prisoner.
J. Asbury, the boy alluded to, came forward, and
stated, that he was going by the Park, when he heard
cries of " murder!" and asked two boys who were

looking through the railing to accompany him to see
what was the matter. They climbed over into the Park,
but the other boys refused to go farther, and witness
went alone. This boy then corroborated all the lat-
ter part of Galby's testimony. The prisoner, in his
defeAce, accused the prosecutor of crimes of the most
horrible nature.—Jefferies said, he believed the pri-
soner and his companion were two men who had long
been " wanted" for similar offences. The prisoner
was remanded. His eyes and face were dreadfully
bruised, his left arm was in a sling, and his clothes
were covered with blood.' The prosecutor was also
so much hurt that he could scarcely support himself.
Turnlell, Crowder, and Beaton, charged on suspi-
cion of robbing the Dover van. of .1:4000, were dis-
charged for want of evidence. -
James Payne was charged with a dating robbery
in the day time at Greenwich. On the morning of
the 11th ultimo, Mrs. Welding, who keeps. the house
No. 12, Halford•buildings, Roan-street, Greenwich,
answered a knock at her door; when a man made
an inquiry as to a person who was lodging there.
Ile then asked her for some money, saying he was in
great distress; to which she replied she had none to
give away. He then forced himself into the house,
knocked her down, and beat her till she became sense:
less. He in the most brutal manner tore the ear-
rings from her ears, and then emptied her pockets.
Orrher coming to herself she gave an account of the
attack, and a full description of the man.. Informa.
tion having been sent to this Office, every. exertion
was made to apprehend the prisoner, ate answering
the description of the man suspected; and he was
found on Saturday, at the White -Hart public-house,
in Brookes-market, Holborn. On being beauf,lelbe!
fore the Magistrate he asserted he had never at
Greenwich. The Magistrate observed, if he. Was-an
innocent man, he was one of the most unforturette
thit ever existed, as he fully answered the descrip-
tion of the robber in every respect, even in his dress.
The dark mark, like a-large red wart, on the corner
of his left eye, is supposed to have proceeded from
bilberries. To put the matter beyond 4 doubt the
Magistrate directed that he should be taken to Green-
wich-for Mrs. Walding to see him, As she was not
• sufficiently recovered from her wounds and bruises
to be able to attend the Office..

Thy house, and (in the cup of life,
That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife.
SOCRATES, by .his discourse on Marriage, so en.
raptured his auditors with the subject, that the mairol
men flew to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to be weds
and " The Spectator" has affirmed, that the word " wife" isa
most agreeable and delightful name in nature.
The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the de
sideratum of ofir enjoyment; teeming not only with happiness
on earth, but disposing the soul itself to harmonize with blip.
hereafter.
Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligati".
it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the pusica,
but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities whirl
the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed epos it.
To the neglect of such attention are attributable many of those
hapless instances, which, while they excite the commiseratia
of the beholder, should also impress him with the fear of sell
reproach.
Luxurious habits will effeasinize the body—a residence in the
tropics will relax the'elastic fibre—hut more especially does the
premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the
natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the age,
,sized sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To al
such, then, we addreu ourselves, offering hope—energy—nws,
cular strength—felicity ; nor will advances appear quest's.

The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the
suspension. 'of those blessings which concentrate the rniptki
wreath—for the female habit is often constitutionally wean-•
yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy improved WS
