Two men, named James Williams 4and John Smith, were charged with causing a great mob by hallooing forth an harrangue entitled The Political Form of Matrimony between the Whigs and the People." A police sergeant said that an immense mob assembled round the defendants on Saturday night, in consequence of their acting as above stated. They refused to go away, and he took them to the station-house.

The following is a portion of the contents of the paper alluded to: "Now there was a man in the House of Incurables whose name was Melbourne, and that man was perfect and 'upright. There was a day when the Reformers came to present themselves before the King, and Bobby came also among them, and Billy said unto Bobby, 'Whence comest thou And Bobby answered, From going to and fro from St And Billy said, 'My servant Melbourne is perfect and upright, and one that feareth the King and snpporteth the rights of the And Bobby said, Do they serve the people for nought Put forth thine hand and touch his office, and he will mock the people to their face, place for place, pension lor pension yea, all that the Whigs have, will they give for their And Billy then said to Bobby, His office is in thy power and a messenger came unto Melbourne and said, 1 Thy Ministry is dissolved, and Bobby is chosen in thy stead, and I alone am left to tell Then Melbourne arose, and rent his and shaved his head, and fasted three days in sackcloth and ashes.

A couple of Dutchmen were, on Wednesday, brought into the office with all the symptoms of having had some warm work together, by Serjeant Jarvis, who told Mr Dyer he was so puzzled with their "broken English, that all he could make out was, that, one charged the other with having run away with a packet boat I am Mynheer Dirk Tiebber," said a fiery little man, as fat as a Burgomaster, "vat come to London with de little bird vat you call Bullfins.

The race had many fluctuations, but at last Mundig and Ascot only joined issue," and ran a very severe race home, Mundig winning by a neck only so close, indeed, was the finish, that in the next stride beyond the chair Ascot's head was first Mundig, in fact, won his race right upon the post, and not till then. About a length behind Ascot were Pelops, Ibrahim, and Valentissimo, and so close together that it is difficult to separate them. The Slow Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 30 sovs added.

Small and Others This great case has been argued for several days in the past week by Mr Serjeant Wilde. At the conclusion of me procceaings me nrsi aay, ivir oerjeant vvnae, Deiore leaving ine oar, applied to their Lordships for permission to appear in future in the ordinary bar dress. He made this request of their Lordships solely in consequence of the very great inconvenience under which he laboured in wearing his full-bottomed wig. Lord Brougham thought that under the particular circumstances the full dress might be dispensed with. He remembered a precedent in the case of a venerable and noble predecessor of his on the woolsack (Lord Eldon), who.had appeared before the house some years since without the full-bottomed wig.

Lord Lyndhurst had himself heard the noble Earl mention the fact. He understood it was severe headache from which the learned Serjeant suffered. Mr Serjeant Wilde Yes, my Lord Lord Lyndhurst Headache arising from the wig or from a little excess. (Laughter.) Mr Serjeant Wilde could assure their Lordships that it arose solely from his wearing the full-bottomed wig. (Laughter.) Lord Brougham could vouch for the headache in this instance having arisen not from any excess of the learned Serjeant, except it were an excess in sitting up night after night in wadingthroughthe briefs and papers in this cause.

(Renewed laughter.) Acquiescence was then given to' the application. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, June 3. The King v. Robert Robison This was an indictment against the defendant for publishing a libel reflecting upon General who was lately the Governor of New South Wales, and it was tried on the 11th of Dec. last, when the defendant was found guilty Sir F.

Pollock (with whom was Sir W. Follett) moved the judgment of the court upon the defendant A great number of affidavits on both sides were put in and read. Mr Erie and Sydney Taylor addressed the court at great length in mitigation of punishment, contending that the statements in the libel were pretty fully supported by the. affidavits of different persons who had been in the colony at the time that the affidavits in answer were far from being complete or satisfactory and as to the publication itself, the while he regretted having committed a breach of the law by publishing this libel, excused himself on the ground that his only object was.afull, fair, and impartial examination into the matter, and that he had resorted to the course of making this publication solely for the purpose of producing such an examination Sir F. Pollock was arguing on the part of the prosecutor' at three o'clock, vhen Lord Denman said he was obliged to go elsewhere, and the further hearing was consequently postponed till the following day The case on both side3 was finished on Thursday, when the defendant was ordered to come up again on Wednesday next to receive the order of the Court.

At the Sheriffs' Court, on Wednesday, a verdict for 40s. damages was obtained by Mr Alexander Lee, the musical composer, against the printer, publisher, and one of the vendors of Figaro'in. London, for a libel on the plaintiff, contained in that periodical. KENT SPECIAL SESSIONS. At the first sitting of the Kent Special Sessions, which was holden on Wednesday, at St Augustine's, near Canterbury, the Grand Jury found a true bill against eighteen persons, most of whom were labourers, for having been concerned in the riots at Sittingbonrne and which took place on the introduction of the new Poor-law Bill in that district a few weeks ago.

In the course of the day, several other true bills were found by the Grand ury against persons implicated in the same riots. Mr Bodkin appeared for the prosecution, and Mr Wells for the defence. Several witnesses were called for the prose-cation, who stated, that on the 4th of May last the poor of the parish of Doddington had expressed great dissatisfaction at receiving relief half in kind, and half in money, according to the provisions of the new Poor-law Bill, and that a mob of several hundred persons had assembled round the workhouse making use of the most violent language against the magistrates. Some of them were armed with bludgeons, and laid violent hands on Dr Poore and Gen. Gosselin, and had also ill-treated such of the paupers as were willing to accept relief in the manner offered by the magistrates, and enacted by the Legislature.

Mr Wells was briefly heard in the defence. He thought, he said, that great allowance would be made for excitement amongst persons not Jiaving had the benefit of education, in a case where a great change in the Solitical economy, and that change affecting such persons, had taken place. Ir Wells then adverted to the difference between Lord Brougham and one of the Poor Law Commissioners, as to the Poor-law Bill authorizing the separai tion of man and'wife, and the feeling of many of the working men in Court was cused in a rage, for vy you run avay after shteal all de little bird, and not pay me nvyn monies Nein, nein, dat nicht waar is I pay you every tinh I put into de papier vat you call de nospapier bah I mean de nicepaper, vat all de people read, dat I go vay to Rotterdam to-day. Den for vy you shteal myn pocket bote Mr Dyer Is it your pocket book that you have lost Complainant Ya, ya, dat is the ding, but I got it back vonce more Mr Dyer: Then I suppose you have no charge to make against the other person Complainant No more charge now as i got myn packet bote. Mr Dyer Then the case is discharged.

WORSHIP STREET. Three men were on Wednesday brought before the magistrates, snsi-picion of being concerned in the murder of a woman of the name of Nixoh whose body was found in the Regent's Canal, in the month of June last, nrder very suspicious circumstances. It was the general opinion at the time that the of the unfortunate female had been violated in a shockiiig manner, and her body afterwards thrown into the canal. The prisoners had been seen in her company at eleven o'clock on the night of her decease, at a public-house near the. canal, but they most positively denied all knowledge of how she came by her death.

There not being sufficient evidence against them; they were discharged. HAT TON GARDEN. At this office, on Wednesdaj', a ruffian of the name of Harmood was convicted in the penalty of 31. or two months imprisonment, for a brutal assault upon his wife, a pretty girl seventeen. It appears that he compelled her to prostitute herself for his support and because she had no money to give him when he demanded it, knocked her down, and kicked and jumped upon her body in the most cruel mariner.

On Thursday, William Marehant, a private soldier in the first battallion of Coldstream Guards', was charged with the following desperate outrage. John Carr, an elderly man, living in Taylor's court, St John whose face was dreadfully disfigured with bruises and a cut on each cheekbone, being sworn, stated that on Wednesday evening he met with the prisoner, in company with frvo other soldiers, each of whom were wearing side-arms, in Saffron hill, and he invited them to" have something to drink. They all entered a public-house, and as they were coming out, one of the prisoner's comrades thrust his hand into the waistcoat pocket of witness, who, upon exclaiming, "What! do you want to rob me was knocked down 'by; the accused with the butt-end of a bayonet. The blow, which was on the right eye, stupified him for a few seconds, and the moment he attempted to regain his footing, he received several other hits on his face with the same formidable weapon. The Sergeant of the regiment, who was present, informed the Magistrates that the prisoner would be punished on his return to his regiment.

The Magistrates, having consulted together, fined the prisoner U. for the assault and in default of payment he was committed for two months to the House of Correction. UNION HALL. Two men, named Turtle and Green, were charged on Wednesday, with leading a band of rough music, consisting of marrowbones, cleavers, saucepans with stones in them, and other little charming varieties, and disturbing the repose of an unfortunate newly-married couple at Brixton. The musicians re-fused to depart unless sundry gallons of ale were ordered for their refreshment which proposal being rejected, they broke the bridegroom's windows as well as his rest.

They were ordered to pay the damage, and held to ball to answer any charge that might be brought against them. OFFENCES, ACCIDENTS, pF the Rev.
