A LIANIA,, FOR KISSING. At the Thames, Police Court Henry Harris (30), r military looking man, has been charged with assaulting Rose Coombs, 36, Suffolk-street, Poplar, by kissing her-pro-eutrix, who stated she was U yean of age, but who looked older, said the other day she went to the School of Cookery at Mile-end, and afterwards went out for a walk. The prisoner, whom she did not know, came up and hugged her round the neck. He then kissed her twice, and would not let her go until he kissed her again. She had said nothing to the prisoner. -Colistable 19 K R deposed that when he took Harris into custody he said, I can't help it. It's a mania I've got." Prisoner gave no address whatever. Harris, in a very loquacious manner, informed the magistrate that he had been seven years in India, where he got a touch of the sun. In the army they were not allowed female society, and he had a mania for it. He could not 1Ielp it. He was innocent of any bad intention. It was a paltry thing.—Mr. Dickinson finell him 20s., or 14 days. |
SCENE AT A BAPTIST CHAPEL.
SCENE AT A BAPTIST CHAPEL. The Baptist Chapel at Chelmondiston, in Suffolk, which gained an unenviable notoriety laet year throughout the country has been again the scene of extraordinary proceedings With a Tiew of asserting their right to participate in the Management of the services the dissentient deacons and trustees waited upon the minister :(Rev. John Cordle, and requested that an evening prayer meeting might be held. Mr. Cordie. who now resides in an adjoining parish, and has not been in tfc • habit of opening the chapel on Sunday evenings, refused this re- quest, and contended that those who made the application were no longer members of the church. The result of some argument was that the dissentients refused to leave the building wntil the keys t? which they asserted a right were kanded over to them. A crowd of people assembled in the graveyard, and for a long time there was a warm discussion both inside and outside the Voiding. At length the minister sent for his new deacon and ordered him to loek the doors. The dissentients refused to leave, however, and the vestry was the scene of some unseemly strilggleii in the efforts made to throw them out by force. No blows were actually struck, but the disputants came very nearly to a boat at fisticvift aad two policemen were called in to restrain the vigorous action taken by the- minister's deacon. At length seizing a favourable opportunity the official in question locked the doors, and thus- -tonvisoned ahoat six members of the-congregation. fMMl a reporter who waa taking note of the pro- ceedings. It was then quite iark. The prisoners remained quiet for half an hoar, the- ribald crowd 4mtaide greeting ar suggestion that they were fcolding a prayer meeting witli roars of laughter, and they then tried to escape by the windows. This attempt was of no availl but they got oat eventually by opening a back door which was tarred only on the inside. Both parties to the disturbance claimed to have the law oa their- aide, and the issue will doubtltisa be fought out i& the local Police Court.

Purcell, on behalf of the prisoner, submitted thttt the justice of the case would be met by the prisoner pleading guilty to unlaw- fully wounding.—Mr Justice Hawkins assented to this plea being taken.—Mr. Purcell in miti. cation of sen teu ce saId the prisoner was an old man and there could be no doubt that the rela- tions between himself and his son had been most unhappy. This was not the fault of the prisoner, who had been treated with considerable violence.by Ids son, who on one occasion had knocked the old sum's head through a window inflicting a severe wound.

,4 THE WRECK OF THE SS. WOLVERTON. The inquiry by direction of the Board of Trade, held at Cardiff. into the circumstances attending the loss of the as. Wolverton, of W est Hartlepool, en Sept. 20 last while on a voyage from Bristol to New York, has been closed. The vessel was not only lost, but the captain and sixteen of the crew. The inquiry having extended over five days, the Court failed to attach any blame to the managing owners, the superintending engineer, or anyone. The vessel was in good seaworthy condition when she left Bristol, and every possible effort to save her was made by those on board, and her loss was attributed to the shifting of coal in the cross- jbanker, causing the vessel to list over to star- board, choke the bilge-pamps with small coal, and 80 render them useless.
OUTWITTING A JEW.
OUTWITTING A JEW. A STORT OF N AL LIFIC. In the- early part of the year 1826 all Bngliafc gen tlemanv from Akmetcht in the Crimea, having occasion to traval to France on busiiieet of importance, directed hit cootee by way oi Wai taw ins Poland. About an hour after his nrrival in that city, he quitted the tavern its whiclb he had been taking refreshments to take a walk through the etrueta. While ettuiHeiinfj in fro-ue of one- of the public buildio^, he met with an elderly peiitlenuin, of a grave aspect aud courteotm- demeanour. After a mutual exchange of eivilities, they got into conversa- tion, during which, with the characteristic fr;uik«iet<9 of an- Engliafmwin, he told the slraug-r who lie WHS, ULIT'ie from, anil wither he Mas going.

The latter had a smalt box of jewels tlf greab value, which lie had carried about liit- petftoti from: the time- of (tin leaving home bub finding that mode of convenience- both hazardous and inconvenient it> a toWII" he re- quested his munificeut) host to dojrasit it in a place of security till be should be ready to go away. At the expiry of three days he prepared for iiis departure,, and on, asking for his box, how was he amazed whon bhe ohi gentlemaik, with a countenance exhibiting; the utmost tHtrprise, replied U Whab oor" The -iiiall box of jewete which I @:!We you to keep for me." My dowe- sir, you tnnet surely be- mistaken. I never realty saw og heard of such a box- The Englishman was petrified. After recover- ing himself a little, he requested he would call his wife, she- having been present when he re- ceived lb. She came, and 011 being questioned, answered in- exact unisoik with her husband, expressed the same surprise, and benevolently sndeavoured to persuade her distracted guest :hat it was a mere hallneiuatioi]- xx With mingled feelings of horror, astonish- ment, and despair, he walkod out of the house md went to the tavern at which he- hati put up JII his arrival at Warsaw. There he related his mysterious story, and learned that his iniquitous lost was the richest Jew in Poland. He was idvised without delay, to state the case to the JrlllJù Duke, who fortunately liappeiied ab that time to be in Warsaw. He accordingly waited on him, and with little ceremony was admitted to an audience. He briefly laid down his case, and Nicholas, with a greedy ear devoured up his discourse." Nicholas expressed his astonishment, told him he knew the Jew, having had extensive money transactions with him, tbab he had always been respectable, and of an unblemished character. However," he added, I will use every legiti mate means to unveil the mystery." So saying, he called on some gentlemen who were to dine with him that day, and despatched a messenger with a note bo the Jew, requesting his presence. Aaron obeyed the summons. Have yon no recollection of having received a box of jewels from the hand of this geutle- man ?" said the Duke. Never, my lord," was the reply. "Strange, indeed. Are you perfectly con- scious," turning to the Eugliahwau, 44 that you gave the box as stated ?" Quite certain, my lord." Then addressing himself to the Jew, This is a very singular case, and I feel ib my duty to use singular means to ascertain the truth. Ie your wife ab home ? Yes, my lord," "Then," continued Nicholas "here is a alseet of paper, and here Is a pen; proceed to write a note to your wife in such terms as I shall dic- tate. Aaron lifted the pen. Now," said this second Solomon, com- mence by saying, 'All is discovered There is no resource lefb bitt to deliver up the box. I have owned the fact in the presence of tbe Grand Duke.' A tremor shook the frame of the Israelite, and the pen dropped from his fingers. But instantly recovering himself, he exclaimed That is impossible, my lord. That would bo directly inplicating myself." I give you ray word of hononr," said Nicholas, in presence of every one jn the room, that what you write shall never be used as an instrument against you, farther than the effect L" it produces on your wife my warrant. If you are innntMnfa. vou have nothing to fear hub if you persist in not writing I will hold ib as a proof of your guilt." With a trembling hand the terrified Jew wrote out the note, folded it up, and, as he was deaired, sealed it with his own signeb. Two officers were despatched with it to his house, and when Sarah glanced over its contents, she swooned and sunk to the ground. The box was delivered up, and restored to its owner; and the Jew suffered the punish- ment his villainly deserved. He was seut bo I Siberia, t

The poor mother begged piteously for her child. "Tell me one truth," said the crocodile, "and you shall have your baby agaiu." The mother thought ib over, and at last said: "You will not give him back." "Is that the truth you mMtO to teU t" asked the crocodile. "Yes," replied the mother. "Then by our agreement I keep him," said the crocodile for if you. told the truth, I am noli going to give him back and if it is a falsehood, then I have also wou^ Said she "No, you are wrong.

Ross and Co., of that Gty, have been landed at Weymouth, having been nescued on the 17th, when some 500 miles off the Western Islands, by the steamer Bramham, of Ciondon, and transferred to a Portland pilot cutter. The vessel sailed from Ship Island on Sept. 15, laden with timber, for Liverpool. She encountered more or less bad weather until Nor. 11, when she "was caught in a fearful hurricane. Captain Joelin and his crew. expecting eyeV hour would be their last, were at the mercy of the gale for five Jays and nights. The ship became waterlogged, 81&<1 seas swept over her, washing almost everything .away. For safety the crew were lashed under the the mizen rigging, but even then they expected every moment to be killed by the falling of the snizzen-topmast. The salt water had spoilt all the food, with the exception of a little biscuit, and the men were only allowed three wine-glasses of water a day. Their condition was most deplorable but fortunately their disabled ship was seen by the of the steamer Bramham, who dispatched a and took off a portion of the crew. The ,Captain and the remainder of the crew left in a beti and leaky boat, their passage to the •termer being attended with great danger on ac- count of the fearful, seas. When at last safely aboard, the men were found almost completely ex- fcaugf ed from fatigue, exposure, and want of food.

A clergyman who was annoyed by the squeak- ing shoes of his parishioners, remarked that some people had 11 too much music in their soles." A father wished to dissuade his daughter from any thoughts of matrhnony. She who marrieadoes well," said he but she who does not marry does better." My father," she answered meekly, I am con- tent with doing well; let her do better who can." Ile You are holding that umbrella on the wrong side to protect you from the sun." She I know it, but there is that dreadful Miss Briggs. and I intend her to see my new bon- net." An elderly lady, who was handling a set of false teeth in a dental officetatid admiring the fluency with which the doctor described them, asked him Can a body eat with those things ?

I ST. DAVID'S EMBROCATION. r INVALUABLE TO OWNERS OF HORSES, DOGS, AND CATTLE. DIRECTIONS FOR USING THE EMBRO- CATION IN CASES OF STRAIN, SPLINT, CURB, LAMENESS, BROKEN KNEESj CUTS, WOUNDS, SORE SHOULDERS, SORE BACKS, CAPPED HOCKS, RHEUMATISM, FOOT ROT, ETC.: STRAINS, chronic or old standing, must not be treated like acute or recent strains. The slightest demands most careful attention. In the first stage of recent strains, foment with hot water, then rub the Embrocation well in with the hand for about ten minutes, until nearly dry, put on a dry bandage round the part, and repeat two or three times a day until cured. For a severe strain, the inflammation must be kept down by fomenting with cold water continuously, until the intense pain and heat subside, then rub in the Embrocation three times a day, afterwards putting on a cold water bandage. FOR CURB, SPLINTS (FORMING), LAME- NESS, &c.—Hot water fomentation, and the Embrocation well rubbed in with the hand, as for a strain. CAPPED ELBOWS occur in the point of the ulna, and are caused by the Horse lying on the hard, sharp heel of the Shoe. Foment with hot water, and rub in the Embrocation twice a day have the Horse shod short at the heels, and the shoes made smooth and rounding. CAPPED HOCKS are generally caused by the Horse striking something hard, causing a fluctuating tumour. Treatment as for elbows. OVER-REACHINTT AND BRUISES should be treatedin i a similar manner. CUTS, WOUNDS, SORE BACKS, AND SHOUL- DERS.—Dirt and foreign matter must be re- moved, and the part cleansed by washing with luke-warm water, then apply the Em- brocation on a piece of dry cloth once or twice daily. BROKEN KNEES.—If but a bruise, and not cut, wash with luke-warm water, apply a little Embrocation, and rub well in at back of knees. When the skin is cut, cleanse of all foreign substance, apply a diluted mixture (three parts water to one part Embrocation) with a piece of linen, draw the edges of skin to- gether with plaster, rub in the Embrocation at back of knee, and dress with a light bandage. MUD FEVER.—This occurs in wet, muddy weather. Wash the legs, or other parts ex- posed to the splashings, dry, and then rub in the Embrocation with the hand till dry. Fo6T ROT.-The feet should be pared and cleansed well, and the Embrocation applied once or twice daily. BRUISES, SPRAINS, &C., IN DOGS.-Foment with warm water, apply the Embrocation, and rub dry with the hand. RHEUMATISM IN DOGs.-Dogs are most liable to Rheumatism in their case, however, it is not so frequently a joint affection. More usually it is in the muscles of the chest and shoulders, and sometimes of the loins, where the attack occurs. It comes on very sud- denly, and is more amenable to treatment than in man. It is called kennel lameness amoag Hounds, and is known to most sports- men. Every breed is subject to it, whether exposed to bad weather or not; it is an easy matter to diagnose, as the patient cries out on being lifted by the forearms, or goes stiff when lame in the loins. ST. DAVID'S EMBROCATION has been most successfully used in many other diseases, in- cluding WIND GALLS, SPRUNG SINEWS, SORE MOUTHS, and FLY GALLS in Cattle, CRAMP in Poultry, &c., &c. 28.
