fine looking young woman, about thirty years of age, was charged
by filr.Wright, housekeeper of the House of Lords, with creating
a riot and smashing the windows of the Parliament Office, in
Abingdon-street. It was with the greatest difficulty that four con-
stables could get her to the office, from her outrageous conduct.
The friends of this unfortunate woman are highly respectable. and
reside in the country. She has been committed to every prison in
the metropolis. and Was sent once more for a month to
Saturday, Mr. Styles, an extensive watchmaker at Kitig's-road.
Chelsea, came to the ce to give information of a burglary and
robbery committed in his house the night before, when property to
the amount of between 3001 and 4001. was stolen. It appeared that
the adjoining house is unoccupied, and the thieves made their way
through it to the back of Mr. Styles s, and gained an entrance by
cutting a piece out of the back kitchen window shutter with a centre
bit. From thence they made their way to the shop, from which they
carried off between thirty and forty watches, about 150 Old seals,
and nearly 200 gold rings, besides-a large quantity of ear rings,
brooches, &c. There is little doubt-that they madeabasty retreat,
as they left a comiderable part of the stock untouched—and also
left behind them two-Crow. Skis, a-centre bit, a phosphorus box,
and matches. _

George Twits, a master shoemaker, of Jews'-row, Chelsea, and a
pensioner from the 87th regiment of foot, who has been for some
weeks in custody on a charge of bigamy, underwent a final exami-
nation, for having intermarried with one Ann Deary, his former
wife, Mary Foyles, being still alive.
It appeared from the evidence of the second wife, that she was
married to the prisoner at St. James's church, on the 15th of Nov.
1826. On her subsequently ascertaining that his first wife was alive,
and residing at Cheadle, in Cheshire, she wrote to her, and received
a reply, acknowledging the fact.
Mr. Henry Smith, parish clerk of Cheadle, deposed, that in the
month of March, 1824, the prisoner at the bar was married at that
Church, to one Mary Hibbert—he then 'went by the name of
George Ramscar. Witness was certain that Foyles was the man.
The prisoner was accordingly fully committed to take his trial.

Two worthies, J. Diesels and G. Verne, were charged with
assaulting Mr. G. Leo i. and his nephew.
Mr. Lewis stated, that as his nephew was returning honte, he
was met by these Dug berries, who, perceiving a bundle under his
arm, seiXed him, and were hurrying him to the watelthouse, when
he requested them to accompany him to his neck's, within two
yards of where they were, and where they could ascertain who he
was; this they would not do, and the disturb .nee they made haring
brought the uncle to the spot, he was beginning to expostulate with
them, when they knocked him down. Notwithstanding this, he
followed them to the watchbouse, and on asking the Keeper what
was the name of the watchman ? he repiLd, " Timothy Tomkins,
and be might discover as much more as he could." •
The 111 A rots reprobated in the strongest language their con.
duct, and was abbot hblding thent to bail ; but the Rector, who was
on the Bench, said he understood they had hitherto conducted
themselves well; and the complainant not pressing the charge, their

Dort.tx.—Monday. night' the Grand Ball, under the
immediate patronage of the Ladles Pager, in aid of the hinds for
the Relief of Sick and Indigent Roomkeepers, took place at the
Rotunda. At nine o'clock the Great Room, which was fitted up
in a style of great splendour, and with every attention to cone..
nience, was graced by a brilliant assemblage of fashion and female
beauty, upwards of 800, the most distinguished for rank and fortune
in the Metropolis and surrounding country being in attendance....
At tett o'clock his Excellency the Marquis of Moaner arrived,
and was received ou alighting from his carriage by the Earl of
Mato and several others of the Noblemen who acted as Stewards.
The Ladies PAGET had arrived a abort time previous to their Noble
Father. Shortly after his Excellency's entry, the dance was opened
by lady GISCUIGIANA Power and the Honourable Captain Guavas.
Quadrilles were the order of the night. Two excellent bands were
In attendance. The Noble Marquis retired at twelve o'clock; the
Ladies PAGET remained up to one, when they also retired, and the
dancing partially ceased ; shortly after which the whole of the gay
throng separated.
The prospect from the steps of St. Martin's in the
Fields Is at this time very remarkable. Splendour and poverty are
so blended together, that the whole is a mass of deformity. The
wretched dilapidated houses, half pulled down, convey the idea of
a conflagration or earthquake, whilst the high and stately Club..
houses, with the range of elegant buildings seen through the Mews,
give the observer the highest idea of wealth and magnificence.
A common mendicant, of the name of 'Menzies, was,
.jsi a police watchman, found lying insensible on the pavement Is
ikidgegate. Glasgow, on Wednesday morning, about two o'clock.
He was carried to the Pollee Office, where medical assistance was
procured,.but, notwithstandirs every attention and assistance, he
died the same morning. In a small Alas is his pocket were:found
SUS. in Bank deposit receipts, la. in notes with three-pence in
r. He was a penurious, miserable being, and went from '
door to-door begging.
One of the heaviest hail storms ever witnessed-cow.
'silenced at Sherborne about half past eleven o'clock on Monday
last, accompanied by thunder and lightning, which was the cause'
of same damage. A chimney at Oborne was shattered to pieces
by she lightning, and the gable end of the house was much injured.'
A stable at Sherborne was partly unroofed; it was struck by a bail
of fire, the explosion of which was louder than the report oe a can-
eon. In afield near the town a tree was stripped of its bark, and
a brace of partridges which had taken shelter under it were tilled.
The storm continued about half an hour.
