We agreed to exchange situations, when she gave me her wedding—ring, a four-post bedstead, and other furniture, wishing me success with my bargain. Day and Ihave since lived together for some time ; but his wife gives me a vile character, and spites me on all occasions. This woman, your worship, ifI am allowed to state it, after leaving her husband, intended to go to New York with another man ; but he declined taking her. and she has now got her husband back a- gain—Mrs. Day—She is a good-for-noth- ing wretch, and has been in the famin way twice by my husband ; and the child she has in her arms is by m husband; she ought to be ashamed of£~selti I’ve got my hashand again, thank, ed, and I defy her. She mayde her worst—Mr. Rawlin-l son said both parties appeared to have acted very wickedly As to the as'sault, he should fine the defendant 10s.

At the Blue Bo owever, the landlord knew nothing about him, and refused to accommodate him. As the grog began to trip up his heels, the witness thought that the best thing to do with him, was to lodge him in the station-house. The sailor was unconscious of the difference between a watch-house and a public-house at the time, and was quietly deposited on the boards. In his pocket were found a few shillings, but next to his skin, near the waistband ofhis breaches, were seven So- vereigns and three 51. notes—The Lord Mayor.

Life, at the west end of London, contin- ues as inanimate as it has been for several months past. There are no gay doings whatever. \ The city gentry give an occa- sional spread and a dance, but it is general- ly on the carpet, as economy is the order of the day.

The shopkeepers are at their doors ear- ly in the morning to see what change there is in the weather ; they think the bad state of trade may be attributed to the bad wea- ther. It is not to be expected that the sun will be longin obscurity: we shall then ﬁnd out whether it is the atmosphere or o- ther rauses which create a stagnation of business.

The doctors carriages and the omnibusses cause a bustle in the streets ;' and mud and noise quite enough. It is a fact. that with- out the clatter of the doctors knocks at the doors of the invalids. and the perpetu- al stirrings of the omnibusses. London
