Pcdiereonstable, A 590, stated that on Sunday morning at shoat 7 o'clock he saw the prisoner in Cockapnr-street, Chariarmor, with something bulky concealed under has coat.

Finding the name and address of the prosecutor on it, he took the prisoner to Chand o s. street, sad smertained that the ran had bean left with a quart of milk ate haw in Warwick-street, near where he met the primmer in Cockspur-atreet. Mrs. White, the wife of the proemater, stated that the can had been left at the door of a customer's house in War wick-street, the servant not being up. The usual practice was to drop it down the area, but at some houses the area realist's were too narrow to ellow it ro peen. he This was so in the present instance, and the milk had therefore been left on the door step. Mr. Vaughan thought it • very imprudent practice to leave the cans of milk exposed in that meaner. Mee. White—lt is • great inconvenience that the areas are not made wide enough. You see we should be late with oar delivery if we waited at every house for the ser vant to micro to the door. Mr. Vaughan—That may be so, but it is a great tempta tion to people to steal property that is so expoaed..lt would be desirable to abate that practice. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was committed for 14 days. LAMBETH. DISTIOTING THE WINDOWS OP • BOYAR CATHOLIC SCHOOL.

Other boys were about to follow his example when he (wither), being in plain clothes, anc ceeded in taking him into custody, and this, of course, pat a stop to it. The wham added that scarcely a day pared that the windows of the school were not smashed, and the gentlemen connected with it were put to a consi derable expense in repairing the damage. The priaoeer stoutly denied the charge, and was convicted io a penalty of 10e. or tea days' impriaonmset. Th e nv nalty was at once paid. John Miller, a strange looking person, was charged with begging, The policeoonstable who had the charge said that on the d before at about 11 o'clock he law the prisoner in Bisho ps -walk, begging from the paumegere and he law a lady give him • pearly. Primate—The lady checked me a peony and I checked it back and told her I did not want it. (Laughter.) Mr. Elliott—Where do you live? Priamier—Wertmineter Abbey.

This gentleman, who long represented the ' borough of Lambeth in parliament, died at his roams in Parksquare, Itegeut's-park, on the afternoon of Friday, after • lingering illnesa. He wee in the 77th year of his age. He sat for Coventry from January, 1835, until the general election in 1847, and was fist returned for Lam beth in July, 1850. Mr. Williams was • merchant, but bad retired from business before turning his attentioo to poll tics. He was at one time a member of the Court of Com mon Council. He was accustomed to all himself • radical reformer, and was • politician of the class of the late Mr. Joseph Hume, whose mantle he may be said to have assumed. As a member of the House of Commons he devoted himself with cloned per severance and much industry to the somewhat thankless task of retrenchment in the public expenditure, thus taking up the pert which Mr. Hams had made peculiarly hie own during a long public career, but not with equal success. He seldom or never lost an oppo rtunity of denouncing what he was accustomed to call ' the inquisitorial income tax," and whenever the Estimates, which he made his peculiar study, were under discussion, he wee always to be found at his post, canvassing and criticising what he regarded as ob noxious portions of them, but hardly ever taking anything by his motion. The work, however, to which he applied himself with exemplary patience, though often barren of immediate good, may not hive been altogether fruitless, if it tended in any degree, as it may have done, to restrain the extravagance of government. It was, at all events, under. taken in the public interest, and being, perhaps, the part which Mr. Williams wee better able to play than any other in such an assembly, it is entitled to respectful mention now that he is gone. Altogether be bad at upwards of a quarter of • century in the House of Commons, and had announced his intention to retire at the close of the present parliament.—Times.

SLIDELL AND THE ANILSEINATION OF PRESI DENT LIECOLN. — The Rev. Mr. Anther Gurney having in vited Mr. Slidell to be present at a solemn service in Paris in memory of Mr. Lincoln, at which Southerners and Northerners were alike to attend, the following reply was sent to the invitationi—" Paris, April 28.—My dear Sir, — No one could have beard with greater horror and regret Maul the intelligence of the atrocious crimes perpetrated at Washington. No one could repudiate with sterner indig uatiou the idea that the assassins had received prompting or eacoorapatent from friends of the Considerate cause. Per na no two prominent persona of the Federal government could have been selected who excited in • leas degree feel ings of personal hostihtyand vindictiveneri than Pnisident Linoolo acid his Secretary of State. I am much obliged to you for inviting me and my family to assist at the solemn service which you propose to bold to morrow at your chapel, and auk' we be present simply to manifest the feelings which I have briefly expressed, we w ould not hesitate to kneel with you in prayer for the souls of the victims. But reflection will, lam sere, satisfy you that our presence on the melancholy caseion would be sub ject, to various and not unnatural misconstructions, received on the part of some as a hypocritical display of a regret we did not feel ; by others, as a virtual acknowledgment of the injustice of the cause in the defense of which so many noble martyrs have fallen, and as • tacitly Implied acquiescence In the course of policy pursued by Mr. Lincoln since his acces sion to power on the 4th of March, 186 L I will take plea sure, in compliance with your request, to let any Cool/ode rate friends whom I may see today know of the intended ceremony.—Believe me, very sincerely, your friend sad servant, JOHN SLIDELL" Tag Tar DUTY.—A grocer and tea-dealer writes to the Timm:—" The propaml of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer to reduce the duty on tea from la. per lb. to 6d. has taken the trade so completely by surprise that I think we an entitled to some little counderatim. The re duction from la. bd. per lb. to is, was made so very recently (only two years ago). that I believe scarcely any one connected with the trade dreamt of any farther reduction at present ; the consequence is that moot of us hold heavy atoeks, anil, as the public expect the full amount of the reduction immediately the resolution bas passed the House of Commons, I venture to express a hope either that some little time may be allowed us to reduce oar stocks, a else that we may lave an allowance made to us oe the tea we hold, for which we have, of earn, paid all the shilling duty. Then is no difficulty in the way of the latter arrangement, as the amiantus could easily take our stocks the day before the proposed reduction comes into operation. I may also urge, a a farther claim, the large amount of duties we colleen annually for the national ex &aqua ; one firm of wholesale paten in London alone paid last year • sum of half • militia for customs ditties ; and when it Is borne in mind that the retail trader has to incur the eedinry Masao of lessee and bad debts in collecting three duties from the public, I think it will be allowed that I ma set unrauceabla is asking for some consideratioa on the pretest oceados."
