LAMBETH-STREET,

AN IMPETUOUS LOVER.—Yesterday, Robert Hart Carr, a
young man of fashionable exterior, was brought before Mr.
WALKER, on the following charge :
Mr. William Shaver stated that on the preceding evening he
was sent for by his sister, Mrs. Alger, who requested him to go
for his niece, Miss Alger, to her sister's, where she was spend-
ing the afternoon, as she was fearful of some molestation' or an-
noyance from the prisoner. He, in consequence, went for
Miss Alger, and on their return they. met the prisoner, who
used gross language to the young lady, and wouid .have pro-
ceeded to violence had he not given him iu charge to a police-
man.

Mr. Alger, the proprietor of the Crown and Anchor booth,
and father to the young lady in question, stated that the pri
soner had, by some means or other, got introduced to his
family, and was subsequently received as the lover or intended
husband of his daughter. Discovering, however, that his pros-
pects were far different to what he represented them, his
daughter considered it but necessary and prudent to- discon-
tinue all further intercourse, and an intimation of this intention
was given to him, but he disregarded it, and continued his
visits; and ou two occasions latterly, when something occurred
that did not exactly please him, he broke several panes of glass
in the windows, lie had also made use of threats towards
Miss Alger, a part of which he had carried into execution.
Mr. Alger here handed to Mr. Walker a note which the 'pri-
soner had a few days before sent to his daughter, and of which
the following is a copy "
Louisa, if you value your happiness as well as mine—and
to prevent every window in the house being broken—meet me
instantly, or I will vi_u the devil back and front.
Mr. WALKER.—W hat is he

Mr. Alger—l really don't know, Sir, but he professes to be.
a gentleman, and has been too much indulged at my house.
t he prisoner did not deny that the vote was written by him,
but said he was under strong excitement of feeling at the time
he wrote it. He also said that it was under the influence of a
similar feeling that he had addressed Miss Alger when he met
her on the evening before.
Mr. WALKER observed that nothing could excuse his making
use of improper language in the presence of a female, and par-
ticularly towards one for whom be had pretended some affec-
tion.

The prisoner said that he first addressed himself in kind and.
endearing terms to Miss Alger, but she would not condescend
to reply, and it was most annoying to his feelings to be thus cut.
Mr. Alger, jun. said that when at the stition house the pri-
soner shuck him across his head and shoulders with his stick.

The Magistrate ultimately i
ordered the prisoner to tTail
of two sureties in £25 each, and himself n LK to be of good
behaviour, and keep the peace towards Mr. Alger and his
family, and particularly Miss Alger, for the next six months.
Not being prepared with the necessary sureties he was
locked up.

PASSIVE RESISTANCE IN ENGLAND.--It is said that "coming
events cast their shadows before." One of these shadows wz
cast yesterday. A sale by auction of goods taken in distress
for assessed taxes was announced to take place at Aston Tavern
yesterday morning. From forty to fifty persons attended, it.-
eluding some brokers, but no buyer could be found, except the
poor woman from whose husband the goods had been seized
and the auctioneer himself. A man came when the sale was
nearly over, who was perfectly ignorant of the circumstances
under which it took piece, and bid for one of the last lots ; he
soon received an intimation, however, from the company that
he had better desist, which he accordingly did. After the sale
was over, nearly the whole of the persons present surrounded
this man, and lectured him severely upon his conduct, and it
was only by his solemnly declaring to them that he had bid in
perfect ignorance of the nature of the sale that he was suffered
to escape without some more substantial. proof of thei, dis-
Veasure.—Birmingham Amnia&
