LOCAL AND GENERAL.

THE case in which two Chinese coolies of the Hongzong Club were charged at the Magistraey with assaulting Mr. Aubert on Saturday night last, came again before the court this moming when the defendants were discharged: THE fashionable figure has become very stiff and angular in England. Nearly every second girl one sees holds her left elbow out at an an- gle and droops the left wrist just as a kangaroo does its forepaws. The effect is said to be very funny.
