MA itY-LA- BONNE.

Thomas Hall, a middle-aged man, was charged under the follow-
ing curious circumstances. The complainant, a poor widow wo-
man named Sarah Biore, residing at 5, Link Albany-street
North, Regent's Pak, had a letter addressed to her by a gentle-
man named Brown, at Tonbridge Wells, containing a 51. note.
The letter was delivered la Albany-street, on Friday ; but owing
to the remarkable circumstances of there being two numbers three
in the same street, and a person of the name of Sarah Blore red.
ding in each place, it did not reach the complainant, bat fell into
she hands of the wrong Mrs. Blare, with whom the prisoner co-
habited. The prisoner confessed that the letter bad fallen into the
hands of Mrs. Blots, with whom he resided ; and as she had fre-
quently received remittances from Newcastle, he did not suspect
anything wrung. The wrong Mrs. More was not fonhconung,
having left home Immediately on opening the complainant's letter,
and had no: since been heard of.

)►ir. Ravranisost avid, that as it did not appear the prisoner was
implicated in the female's proceeding, he would not commit him,
but ordered him to find bail for his future appearance.

On the night of Sunday last, Cheltenham and its
neighbourhood were visited by a tremendous storm of rain, mom.
panied by vivid flashes of lightning and awful peals of thunder,
which continued till early the following morning. The numerous
brooks and rivulets from the surrounding bills were swollen into
torrents, and a number of meadows in low situations were inun•
dated. We are sorry to add that a great quantity of corn has been
beaten down, and many fields that on the preceding day were
smiling with the golden blessings of buvest, are now completely
desolated by the storm. Nearly two hundred acres of bay at
slytton are entirely spoiled by the overflowings of the Avon.—
