RCUNC A WIFE. A young married man, named John King, was brought before the Magis trate, charged with having assaulted Hannah Mari, his wife. John King is something in (he coal trade, and he appeared before hit Wor ship in scarlet plush breeches, white cotton mud bespotted stockings, and short gaiters lo match j a flannel-colored kersey wove jacket tucked under one arm, and a Jan (aC J ihulloxu un der the other. His spouse, Hannah Maria a very pretty decently-dressed young woman, appeared to be precise ly 'as ladies wish to be who love their lords t and -she had moreover a Utile John King jn her arms their first pledge fetfove : anda very nice, little pledge ,it was with lace cap, beaver hat and feathers, and all that sort of thing such a bantling, in short, as John King, or any King, might well be proud of. Hannah Maria stated, that she had been married to John King 'seventeen months come next Saturday week and, though he was a good, painstaking hushand enough, he was so fond of ru ling her that he beat.her almost every day . His Worship observed, that by her accounts, John King appeared to be a pains-jwiij-, as well as pain$-faijt husband --but she must confine her evi dence to some particular and recent in stance of his severity. Hannah Maria dropped a curt'sy, slapped little John King, on his little fat arm to make him lie quietly on her bosom, and proceeded to state how John King had brought her a beautiful flower for her bonnet how he after wards took her into the country on a visit to their friends how theirfriends laughed and made fun of her flower how she cut the, flower out of her bon- t the moment sh cut homeJ3KJun aiuLhjawJohnKin emforsttdw acMifoliicM " Well, John King, what have you to say in reply to all this ?" asked his Worshi ip.

A msn of respectable appearance appeared be fore the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion House, yesterday, to make known his discovery of an infallible mode of pro ducing chickens from egg without waiting for the delays of nature. He then placed upon the chief clerk's desk a basket containing chickens and ducks, which were hatched in the artificijl way, and appeared to be well acquaint, ed with the person who introduced them to the dignity of the cits't notice. The Lord Mayor wished to know in what manner the Chief Magistrate of the City of Londjn could be inter- ested in anv new plan for the bringing (orwarJ of chickens, in any other thin the natural way, all natural produc tions bting confessedly superior to those which were forced f The chickcn-ha(chcr said, the inven tion had eieited the astonishment of several noblemen, and gentlemen, and ladies, who were present while he was hatching, and that he c uld bring geese to perfection as wtll as dmks and hens. Of the importance of his plan, all over the empire, there could, therefore, be no doubt, and he was bound in duty to make known his dis covery in the city of London first. He had brought with him as a sample of his skill but a few chickens and ducks, and his object was to have his Lordships' sanction, as a recommen dation to the Society of Arts, who had informed him, that if he could prove his invention before the Chief Magis--tratrj he should receive -the reward uJ 100 guineas. The Lord Mayor thought the appll-j cation was a very extraordinary one, and such as he certainly never heard o before. He had, however, no objec tion, if the Society of Arts required his concurrence in the new way o hatching eggs, to have an affidavit of the facts made before him. The chicken-hatcher said, his lalxr in bringing the invention to maturity had been very great. The Lord Mayor said, the hatcher could not mean that he sat himself. The chicken-hatcher replied, that he meant the artificial incubation. He had not tried the experiment of taking the hen's place?, nor indeed did hr suppose that human incubation would do in the case of the eggs of that bird, or of the duck, whatever might be its success in producing the "goose. Mr. Hobler begged to call his Lord ship's attention to a singular fact, that human incubation wa: adopted for merly by other nations, which were not far behind us in tne arts, a Chi nese ship of war captured an English vessel, and determined to convert the prisoners to some use.

At length, after a deliberate consideration of the difficulty, they resolved to put a' pair of feather breeches upon the man of letters,' and to set him to hatch a num ber of goose-eggs j and j , wonderful to relate, the young geese appeared in due time. k r- r The chicken-hatcher then declared that his discovery far exceeded in its effects all that could be expected ..irony anr:animaffi l'ethfemldpwd4fLtbfiJi.ving . i ; -i . young inaprimr smr,nnd in a short, .1 1.1 I.. 1 I according to the laws of nature. He had constructed a machine for the eggs, and by the judicious application of steam, contrived to fulfil the ends of nature, to the surprize of all who watched the progress of animation in the egg. When first he advanced in his labors with the engine, he was obliged to sit up 30 diys and 30 nights to turn the eggs, lest the birds should be diformcdtutpow he had broojht (he thing to uth perfection that he was not obliged to sit up one flight for a brood ef 1 000 chij kens, and thtyap. pcared in more unexceptionable tha racterthan if 'brought up under the care rf their mothers. The Lord Mayor asked what be ncfit arose from this discovery, as it was well known that poultry was in a great abundance. The chicken-hatcher replied, that this immense advantage arose Irom it, that the public could always be accoro. mml.ted with what were very .fre quent a 'great rarity new laid egg.

I he Lord Mayor then signed an af. fidavit stating the powers of the inven tion, and the chkken-hatcher railed together his chickens and duck, w hich had amused themselves in Ihc course of the investigation by feeding before his Lordship, and departed to wait upon the Secretary of the Society of Arts to receive the reward of one hun dred guineas, 1 UK LAW.
