at the time another wife living.
The circumstances were as follow !—About
months since the Prisoner got acquainted with Miss
Wyatt, which increased to great intimacy, she walk-
ing out with him frequently, without the knowledge
of her father, till at length she agreed to elope with
him, which took place on the first day of July last,
at two o'clock in the morning, the Prisoner having.
procured a post-chaise at Ikeutford for that purpwe.
On the morning of tine same day they were married
by bans, et the parish of Christ Church, in Surrev.
They lived together for about two months, when ;lir,
Wyatt learning that the Pri4nier was a married rum
at the time he mantled his daughter, he. took her
from him.

Saturday, Mr. Jolion of Brentim athemled to
conduct the prosecution. He stat,fl that t!u• Prisetlcr
called himself Charles Henry, but the former was an
assumed name. Mr. GRAHAM asked the Prisoner

that he had assumed it for the last four or live pars
past:

- To prove the second marriage, Mrs. c'elaw, tlt, sis.
ter of the Prisoner's first wilt., atteadoil, from

ria4e of her sister, Miss Robinson, to the Pritoner,
when he calle:1 himself Thomast ljuirN, on Ilia sth of
rebruarv, 183S,nt Sligo, in Ire!awl, the teretlio,/
of which was solemnised after the lIIIIIITTPr Of ti,e
Church of Rome, the parties being Roman Catholics,
in a private room, by permission of the Bistsopfof
the Diocese.

'Mr. GRAHAM called upon the Prisoner to kno►v
what he had to say in his defence. Ole deCliAed sav-
ing any thing 'then, but asked to have the business
postponed till Monday, when he could have Counsel
to attend for him. The Magistrate told him that
could net avail any thing. The Prisoner then said
'he did not consider what took place in Ireland as a
legal marriage, as he denied being a Roman Ca.

The Prisoner was fully committed for trial, and
the parties bound over to prosecute at the nest as•
sizes for the county of Surrey.

being one of the street robbers, was admitted to bail,

warrant for an assault, and was also admitted to bail

UNION.ITALL.—Cann, the proprietor of an old
' iron shop, was brought before the Sitting Magistrate
on Saturday, charged with having in his possession a
quantity of lead, iron, and spike nails, not being
able to give e satisfactory account how he had ob.,
.
tamed them. It appeared from the statement of the
officers that depredations to a considerable amount
'had at various times been committed on the works
belonging to the Strand Bridge, and that large quan-
' tities of iron clamps and spike nails were missing al.
most daily. Suspicion being entertained that some of
these missing articles might per chance have strayed
1 into the Prisoner's shop, a search warrant was ob-
i tained, and Goff and Clark were employed to eve-
! cute It. On searching the premises. the articles itt
question were found concealed. Mr. Brown. :vont
to Messrs. Jolliffe and Banks, who are the contrac.
ton foe carrying the work into execution, swore to
the nails being the property of those gentlemen, and,
part of those stolen from the Strand Bridge wok?,
'there being none such made except what were
made for use there. He also stated his belief that
the iron was likewise the property of his employers.
The Prisoner, in his defence, said he bought the
articles fairly in the way of trade, hut could not tell
of whom. He was remanded to afford him an oppor-
tunity of producing the person of whom he had
bought them, if he was able to do so.
IlarroN-GARDEN.—Saturday a person in the em-
ploy of Messrs. Latkington and Co. Booksellers,

victed of unlawfully pawning, under the Pawnbrokers"
Act ; not paying the tine was committed to New
Prison for re-examination, when the several Pawn-
brokers will attend.

Extract of a letter from Calcutta, of March
" An earthquake was experienced at Cannanore
about the 17th of last month. It was said in one of
the Madras pipers; that it was a severe gust of Wind,
by which the mess-room was thrown down, and
Lieutenant Pearson killed ; but I since understand
that the accident was. occasioned *by an earthquake,
attended by violent wind. Almost every house ill
Cannanore is more or less injured, the walls of many
being rent, and some of them unroofed."
The Lord Bishop of London, on Saturday, last,
i consecrated the spacious new burial ground and
chapel oratory, in the parish of *St. Luke, Chelsea.—
