UNION-HALL.

Yesterday, a female named Elisabeth Ammer, rather advanced
In years, and dressed in the most fantastic style, was brought up ro
this °dice in custody, before the sitting Magistrate, Al. Swastr,
Esq. on a charge of assaulting Mr. llextall, a grocer, raiding in
Bermondsey, whose scratched physiognomy bore ample proof of the
violence of the attack.

The complainant in person resembles Prince Leopolt: And the
poor woman, wbo is evidently insane, labours under the delusion
that the worthy shopkeeper is actually the Prince : and in Vise of
all appearances to the contrary, persists in molesting and somedinet
assaulting him, because he will not comply with her various do-
wands for his interest and influence. _ _ _

The Magistrate seeing the.. real nature of the ease, ordered the
woman to be carried to the parish asylum for lunatic&

Sunday, Mr. Lord, of Wigan, who has for many years
filled the situation of crier at the Quarter Sessions in
Lancashire, having gone to Lancaster for th, purpose of
attending his official duties at the Sessions on the lila
lowing day, went to bed about ten o'clock, slightly in.
disposed. He had not, however, long retired before he
was seized with a fit of apoplexy, and died immediately.
Tuesday, as a young Gentlanaan and a Lady were
proceeding in a gig along Hackney-road, the horse took
fright at a Punch and Judy Show, and ran off at a fu•
rious pace till stopped by a broken-Jown cart, which
lay on the road-side ; when the gig was shattered to
pieces, and the young couple sevtrely injured by the
fall. They were conducted to the house of a Gentlem4n
on the read-side, and medical assistance pro: ured.

The singular beauty of the Hungarian women is the
theme of every traveller's admiration. The town of
Pest is peculiarly remarkable in this respect, the pro-
portion of handsome females being greater than in any
part of the empire, and the elegance and taste of their
dress superior even to these of Vienna.
According to the old Indian laws, which are still .in
force in some parts of Hindostan, a suit for debt, when
the debtor was absolutely unable to make payment, was
put a stop to for some years, during which the creditor
had no claim upon the debtor, in order to give the tat•
ter time to acquire the means of discharging what he
owed by the exercise of his calling. It he would not
accept these conditions, he was condemned to the
Tukazza. Literally, this avant nothing else than dun-
ning ; but as soon as a Court of Justice ptonouhced to
that effect, the creditor had a right to harass him ;a
every sort of way. He could not only assault his per-
son, but even appoint a person to watch him, to t'revent
him from eating his food, to tie a rope about hti neck
and feet, and to compel him to stand upon onelek, with
a heavy stone upon his h!ad, under the mid.•day sun.
Monday night, as an elderly m m and hid wife were
crossing near Shoreditch Church, they iveri titis over
by a stage-coach, and s s dreadfully hurt; the iiisbaad
particularly, that they were taken to the Hcriphal:
The fair equestrian Lady, J. P. in thi rideon Sunday,
called Colonel T-.—to shorten her rein. " However Short I may
make it," replied the wh,ti and gallant Colonel, " your Ladyship
stirs will always be long.
