POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 2.:0W-STREET, Yesterday Mr. Corder, vestry-clerk of St. Paul's, Ccivent-garden, appeared at this office for the third tiMe; for the purpose of enforcing payment of the sum of 8964 due to the parish for rates and taxes by the proprietors of Covent-garden Theatre. No person appearing on the part of the pro prietors, Sir R. BIRNIE called for the summoning clerk, who having been sworn, deposed that he served nine summonses upon a person residing at the the. atre, who undertook to send notice of the service to Messrs. Kemble, Willett, and Forbes, the three proprietors to whom the summonses were directed. Sir R. BIRNIE asked Mr. Corder if he had under stood from Mr. Robertson, the treasurer, that a communication had been received from Messrs. Const and Harris, stating that they were both wil ling that the matter should be amicably settled, both for the benefit of the theatre and the creditors, and expressing a hope that an arrangement likely to satisfy all parties would be brought forward for the theatre on the following Friday, when a meeting of the proprietors was appointed to take place ? Mr: Corder certainly understood Mr. Roberti!on . to'have said so, and ask e d Si r Ri c h ar d Bi rn i e if t h at was not his impression also. Sir R. BIRNIE said, that Mr. Robertson had un doubtedly sail something very like it. Mr. Const, however, had waited upon him (Sir R. Birnie) on the day preceding, and told him that no cornmunica -..0n whatever had been made by hini . upon the sub ect, and that he neither directly nor indirectly inter fered in any way in the business. The distress warrants having been signed and handed to Mr. Corder, Sir R. BIRNIE expressed a hope that the parish would not find it necessary to seize the scenery of the theatre to cover their demand. Mr. Corder replied, that it was not intended, he believed, to levy a distress against the property of the theatre. The parish had another object in view. Sir R. BIRNIE—I suppose you mean to apply to the Court of Chancery. Mr. Corder replied, that the step which the parish had taken was intended as a foundation for a peti tion to the Lord Chancellor, praying that the amount of the distress warrants might he paid out of the funds in his Lordships' Court, placed there on ac count of the respective proprietors of Covent-garden Theatre. Mr. Corder then withdrew. Yesterday evening two smartly-dressed young men, named Charles Weston and Henry Evans, were brought in custody before Mr. HALLS, charged by Mr. John Lumley with having committed an assault upon him. Mr. Lumley was proceeding along Brydges-street, Covent-garden, that evening at about seven o'clock, when he perceived the two defendants issuing from a billiard-room, next door to Mother H.'s, in Brydges-street. They were both smoking cigars ; and one of them (he could not tell which) raised 'his foot, and gave him (the complainant) a kick in the hinder part of his person. He immediately pilled to the street-keeper, and gave both the de- Yendants into custody. Mr. HALLS told the defendants that they must fput in bail to answer the charge at the Sessions. He hoped Mr. Lumley would prosecute the charge at the Sessions. Mr. Lumley expressed his determination to do so, thgrfrntionts were then remo ve d in custody, up for want of hsi; Information was receive u 4. morning that property to the amount of upwards of 1001. was stolen from the manufactory of Messrs. Baxter of Long-acre, the eminent coach-builders.— 'Die property consisted of a quantity of cloth, used for the lining of carriages, and also some gold lace, which the thieves had contrived to strip from the inside of a state coach, which had been the property of the late Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and which had been lately exhibited in Messrs. Baxters' manu• factory to several ladies and gentlemen, on account of the richness of the trappings and the beauty of the carved wood-work. In consequence of informa tion received in the course of the day, a search-war rant was obtained, and put in execution at the pre mises of a broker residing in Great St. Andrew street, Seven-dials. No part of the valuable pro perty which had been stolen was, however, found in the house of the accused, but a quantity of tools was found upon the premises exposed for sale, and these were identified by a workman in the employ ment of Messrs. Baxter, who deposed to their having been stolen from the manufactory of his master. The party accused stated that his wife had purchased the tools in his absence, and Sir R. Birnie, in suffering him to depart upon his own re cognizance, to appear again if called upon, told him that it was his duty, for the sake of public justice and his own character, to use every exertion in his power to discover the party from whom his wife had purchased the tools. NEW FRENCH SINKING FUND. A Correspondent of the Constitutionnel sug gests a novel scheme for reducing the burthen of the French National Debt, and founding a per manent fund for the purposes of education. He begins by saying :—" If it were possible to obtain some addition of revenue for the State by a very simple method, and without producing complaint from anybody, surely no man of good sense would oppose it ; and to procure its adoption we must avail ourselves of publicity through the Journals. It is incontestible that the fund holders are in a state much more advantageous in many respects than the landowners. They have a fair interest for their money, and an in come clear and free from all charges and losses. This ought to be so ; for the engagements of the State must be kept inviolable ; public credit can exist only at this price. The idea of levying any tax on them cannot enter into any person's mind. Yet, if there be a means of exciting among many of them a desire to render some portion of their income subject to the charges to which all others are liable, it would be cheating ourselves to ne glect so use f u l a resource ." H e th en remar k s on the avidity with which political rights are ac quired, when they are attainable by the people ; and on the complaints often made by the fund holders that their property gave them no politi cal rights, to which he thinks they are fully en titled, and refers to their loyalty for the last fif teen years. He proceeds :—" Let us come to the plan : Two words are enough : it is only necessary to enact, by one or two articles to be introduced into the Budget, something equiva lent to this. - Every holder of an inscription for 100 francs of Rentes, at least has the right to give notice to the Minister of Finance that he wishes to render it quasi-real property, it under going for that purpose a reduction of one-tenth, as direct taxation. On the payment, every six months, the reduction of one-twentieth shall be acknowledged by a small stamp on the coupon. The Rentes rendered quasi -real property, cannot be restored to their former state." The writer expects that the opportunity thus afforded to ac quire a vote, will be eagerly seized by many who now pay 290 francs or less, in direct taxes, but have no electorial rights. Many of these would gladly convert an hundred francs of Rente into quasi-real property, to become electors, and if they had not the Rente already in their posses sion, they would buy it. This would bring the Rente into demand, and spread it through the departments. He has no doubt that 500,000 francs might thus be gained ; and he asks, whe ther that is a sum to be despised in a country where the Deputies were fought for many sittings together to save 12,000 francs, and where a ,grant 0 150,000 francs for the mutual instruction of 32 millions of souls was hailed as a victory ? He proposes that the produce of this new tax should b e a pplied to the maintenance of schools for in fants, and for adult artisans. This, he thinks, would be an additional stimulant to the fund holders of liberal principles to convert their Rentes into quasi -real property. He justifies the singular phrase he has adopted to designate the new species of Rente, and owns he has no hope of seeinghis project rea li se d , b ecause " i t h as the unpardonable sin o f i ncreas i ng t h e num b er of electors. QUEEN-SQUA RE. Yesterday, amongst the &orderlies from St, George's watch-house, Pimlico, the Rev. Andrew Mayor, A.M., living in Leader-street, Chelsea, was placed at the bar, before Mr. WHITE, charged with being drunk in the public street. George Young, a watchman, between ten and eleven o'clock the previous evening, was going his rounds, when he found the defendant at the top of Eaton -street, Pimlico, lying on the pavement, and a crowd of persons surrounding him. He was so drunk that he was unable to stand or walk without assistance, and he therefore took him to the watch house. The gentleman hal a blue bag with him, which contained a bottle of rum, an empty decanter, and four pair of candlesticks. Mr. WHITE asked the reverend gentleman what he had to say to the charge.—Mr. Mayer replied that he had never drank spirits, but was a w ater drinker, and his situation was not from the effects of ardent spirits, but from taking Laudanum, which had Overcome him. Mr. WHITE lamented to see a gentleman of his sacred profession in such a disgraceful state, whe ther from spirits or any other intoxicating liquid. Mr. Mayor again assured the Magistrate that he was a water drinker. Mr. WHITE observed that the charge against him was clearly proved, and he must pay the usual fine of tis. for being drunk. The Rer — . Divine then paid the money, and left the office. AMERICAN METIIOD OF CARVING.—The following scenes occurred at the Military Seminary at West point While we were talking in the court-yard dinner was announced ; and, the professor begging us to walk with him, we entered the great hall together. The principal body of the young men, assembled on the exer cising ground, were marched to dinner, to the slund of drum and fife, in very good order. About a dozen stu dents, however, were first admitted as carvers, and I stool in perfect astonishment at the scene which ensued. In all countries, old as well as new, gentlemen, to their shame be it said, carve abominably ill ; but I had no ex pectation of seeing any thing so primitive as what now took place, The meat was literally hacked and torn to pieces. In a few minutes afterwards, at a given signal, the other students entered, and there commenced such an exhibition of feeding—ur devouring, I may call it —as would have excited the admiration of a cormorant, Some of the youths were spooning great lumps of meat down their throats with their knives, while others helped them selves, two or three at a time, with their knives and forks, from the sam e dish ! I never saw anything so disagree- Travels. PRICE 7D THE " OMNIBUS." The Paddington stage-coachmen, who heretofore were proverbial for their rudeness and ruffianism, are now being rapidly metamorphosed into civil and at tentive personages. This miracle is being wrought by the introdu c ti on o f a l ong four-wheeled carriage, called the " Omnibus," to run on that road. So successful has the introduCtion been (the genteelest people riding in them, for the sake of civility and safety, as well as the reduced fares), that the pro prietor has been obliged to have additional carriages : he 110 W runs one every hour between Paddington and the Bank. Many persons have formed them selves into parties, engaging, amongst themselvett,4o support that enterprise, which, when the notorious character of the Paddington coach concerns is re membered, was really hazardous in almost every riGint of view. The fares of the Omnibus are Is. for the whole distance, and 6d. for half-way. The coach fare is Is. 6d.; but Is. is not now refused—nor politeness into the bargain. The seats in the Omnibus are on each side; so that the passengers ride sideways towards the horses, and windows and curtains all round ; and though there are now so many of them on the road, they are constantly filled, and proceed at a regular pace, never driving furiously. They are likely to effect, with Padding ton whips and cads, What Magistrates have vainly attempted—so useful are competition and a little adversity. ST. PETERSBURGII, MAY 18.29. TIIE HERMITAGE. I next visited the Hermitage, a link of the chain of .palaces with which the Neva is lined, but why the residence of Majesty is gifted with such au extraordinary appellation I am at a loss to know. A Russian would probably be as much puzzled to ascertain why the sheet of water in Hyde Park should be termed the Ser pentine. At all events the Hermitage bears no resemblance whatever to the class of residences from which it takes its name. I had heard much of the pictures, but was not, I confess, prepared for such a splendid exhibition as this palace con tains. I have seen many collections, but none equal to this, as far as the number of pictures is concerned. The Louvre I allow is more select, for at the Hermitage there are many very indif ferent paintings, which will probably be removed when better can be procured. The Dutch school is remarkably fine. I never saw at one place so many Paul Potters, Teniers, Wouvermans, Vandykes, and all good paintings. In the French school there are some fine Claudes, and a considerable number of Vernets, but I cannot say the best productions of that artist ; many of them were evidently some of his earlier performances. There are about a dozen paintings of animals, by Schneider, which are particularly beautiful. The pictures are distributed through a succession of rooms and galleries, the walls of which are en tirely covered. I was next conducted through a magnificent and spacious hall, where the Knights of St. George assemble, and entered a'' long and narrow gallery, exclusively appropriated I to the works of Mr. Daw, an English artist of ' . . commissioned by the Miissian kiovernmeht to execute half-length portraits of all the Russian Generals who were employed during the French war. This herculean task is now nearly com pleted, and 350 portraits arc now arranged in pannels along the walls of the gallery, which bears the artist's name, and which, in proportions and decoration, is a complete miniature of the Louvre ; •intervals are left for the reception of a few whole length portraits of Generals of distin guished eminence, amongst whom the Duke of Wellington will be introduced. The likenesses arc reckoned exceedingly good ; and if, in some pictures, the execution may be inferior, the hurry in which they were painted is alone a sufficient apology for occasional inaccuracy. I remarked amongst the portraits two, which bore a strong resemblance to Bonaparte and the Duke of York. Mr. Daw has already secured an ample fortune by this extraordinary undertaking ; 1000 rubles are allowed fbr each original, and I under stand that 2000 rubles are demanded for every copy, for which numerous orders have been given. I likewise visited what must be termed, since the recent importation of French words, the " _Atelier" of this indefatigable artist, and was particularly struck with two whole-length por traits of Wellington and KutusofF, the former sheltered by the British oak, the latter standing under a snow-coverel fir, emblematic of the country for which he so long and so successfully fought. But the masterpiece of Mr. Daw is a portrait, as large as life, of the Empress, as she appeared at her coronation. This picture is a splendid work of art ; the head of the young and lovely Empress has no other ornament but the Imperial diadem, which is small, and entirely covered with diamonds and pearls ; the hair waves in ringlets over the shoulders. This picture is considered to be an admirable like ness of the beautiful original. The " Atelier" of Mr. Daw is a favourite lounge for the younger branches of . the Imperial Family, who were in the gallery at the time of my visit. The Princesses are rather pretty, but, like most Rus sian children, are tender and delicate, perfect stove plants. There are but few statues in the Hermitage, but a fine collection of enormous vases of Siberian jasper and porphyry ; one vase, in particular, is of an immense size and value, being no less than five feet in width, and en tirely composed of " Malachite ;" the pieces are so admirably joined, that it appears a solid mass. There is likewise a musical clock pi an extraor dinary size ; this unwieldy piece of mechanism is more like a church organ than the appendage of a palace. The history of this clock is rather singular ; it win; made on speculation, but as the price was 200,000 rubles, about 8,0001., no pur- 7 chaser was found ; it was then raffled fox ; the winner was a poor woman, sold it to the Emperor fora cosderable sum and an an nuity, tiut, as it will be impossible to enter into a detail of all the wonders of the Hermitage, I will proceed to the room where .r.„•;: k nie of the state valuables are kept ; this is indeed a fairy scene, a display conjured up, as it were by the magic lamp of Aladdin. A mongst the precious items is the celebrated diamond, the largest and purest ever discove re d ; t wo " b ouquets, " com posed of mixed stones o f grea t s i ze an d Haney ; and a sm a ll c a bi ne t stud 44 with putts as large as nut s . M an y o f th 9 jewels, I make no doubt, were received as presents from eastern nionarehs ; one case exclusively contains Chinese' jewellery. There are likewise several services of Chinese plate of the . most exquisite workman ship. In this room are preserved the gold sal vers and salt-cellars, in which a deputation of the inhabitants of St. Petersburch offer a tribute of bread and salt at the accession of an Empercr. I also observed a vast collection of snuff-boxes of great value, bct whether they have been re ceived as presents, or remain to be riven as such, I could not ascertain. Amongst the curiosities in this room is a clock, inclosed in a glass case eight feet square ; there are a v iriety of move ments in this extraordinary piece of mechanism ; at certain periods a peacock as large as life moves its wings and spreads its tail, an owl as con spicuous as one of the monsters of Der Frei shutz strikes the hours, and a grasshopper per forms some of the minor duties of this curious timepiece ; the peacock is sheltered by a tree with spreading branches, and a melon plant of the natural size forms a pleasing addition to this elaborate toy, the whole of which is silver gilt. One room contains a large collection of cameos,. intaglios, and gems of this description; large folios and port-folios of drawings and engravings are arranged in several of the smaller rooms and galleries ; in short, nothing is omitted that can add at all to the value of this truly Imperial Mu seum. The rooms contain as furniture a great many or-molu clocks and Parisian ornaments, but in other respects they are not richly decorat ed ; the Hermitage is evidently considered more as a museum than as a royal residence. I can not quit the Hermitage without noticing one curiosity, which in the eyes of a naturalist may be considered the greatest of all, this is a parrot 86 years old ; 'this truly venerable bird has the marks of great age, but is still in excellent health,. and to, judge from. appearances, years are likely to elapse before his stuffed skin will form an additional item amongst the extraordinary things I have just described. THE MARBLE PALACE. After quitting the Hermitage we continued our walk to the Marble Palace, so named be cause the walls are incrusted with a variety of beautiful marbles, whilst the pillars and architec tural ornaments are composed of the same ma terial. The style is Corinthian, but is altogether heavy ; this may probably arise from the sombre character of the colouring, when compared with the light and more gaudy buildings in the vi cinity. We had not an opportunity of viewing the interior, which corresponds no doubt with the general splendour of the imperial residences, but were attracted to the spot by the museum of Mr. Orlofski, who has a suite of apartments ad joining the palace, and holds some employment about the Court. After winding through several dark passages, and ascending still darker stair cases, we reached a sort of garret ; the door was opened by a man of Herculean stature and pro portions, dressed in the summer garb of a " mongique " or peasant ; he wore a tunic or frock of a light and figured calico, confined round the waist by a leathern belt, the cravat was cashiered, and not a vestige of shirt was visible ; the bare neck set off to good advantage a most formidable black beard ; the head was covered with a sheepskin cap, each tuft of wool standing on end in such a way as to make the wearer re semble one of the furies conjured up by the pen cil of Mr. Fuseli. This extraordinary looking being was no less a personage than the great vir tuoso himself,. who ushered us into his " atelier," where he was occupied on a picture descriptive of Russian scenery and manners; we soon found that Mr. Orlofski was an original, but at the same time a good humoured and accomplished man ; he was a great lingiiist, and spoke English private collection in St. Yetersourgn, anti is wen worth the traveller's attention. There are but few pictures ; in short, Air. 0. has judiciously ab . - stained from attempting to rival the Hermitage in any of its leading characters, and has princi pally directed his attention to the collection of those miscellaneous objects of taste and vertu in which the imperial museum is deficient. The armoury is exceedingly rich, particularly in Georgian, Circassian, Tartar, and Turkish arms of the middle ages, so difficult to preserve in any country but Russia ; amongst these the sword of Sigismund was pointed out to us ; the scab bard was of mother-of-pearl, enriched with pre, cious stories. There were likewise some ,I?_ mat - 1 arms, and an iron shield in a firm state of pre servation, on which the sack of Troy was ad' mirably executed in high relief, Another de partment contains embossed plate, and some splendid articles of furniture of the age of Francis the First. But it is impossible to enter into the detail of a collection which has cost Mr. Orlof.a . 26 years' labour, and a considerable c, o sii me . There were two objects to which the ; possessor attached great value. The casts br masks taken from the faces of P e t er the Great and Ch ar l e y the Twelfth, lam no I;nysiognomist, but was much struck with the contrast exhibited in the features of these, two great men ; tho countenance of Peter was composed and 4nified, as if still meditating on his country's welfare, The face of Charles clearly indicated the fiery character at this restless warriof, and was so animate that I could not have imagined that the cast, h a d b een taken after death, were it not for t,', J e fatal wound in the forehead, the marks of w hi c h are risible, The features of Charles are small, those of Peter's unusu a lly large, DOCK COMPANY.-9t a general rnee-i ing held cm yesterday week, it was unanimously resolved, that in future all Hull ships shall he allowed g o f rom an d return to the port, and all other ships to enter into and &prat from the port, on payment of dock dues once only, either on the entry inward or clearance outward. This resolution will put at rest a queFtion which has long been the source of unpleasant Pz-eVng between the ship-owners and the Dock Compat-Hull Packet. A most 1,1-fario,us practice has recently been adopted on the landing of the passengers arrivi ng at this port by steam-boats; several persons have ',leen pilfered of the portable part of their property dto;ing the bustler consequent upon disembarkation. A gentleman a short time ago lost his umbrella on board the steam-packet from London while landing; and on S.4uklay evening last another umbrella removed, under preci.sclq similar circumstances, from the Victory, in, the iguzediate presence of the owner, Other instances lAavc. come to the knowledge of our police, and we are glad to learn that vigilant measures arQ adopted to diAect the depredators.—H u m paoct. A y oung girl, aged eViteen, and an old n , :an aged sixty-three, were. convicted at the Court of Assize ; Rouen, of committing various acts of arson. For sever a l years paq, ugtnerous Ares tool: place at Havre and its vici nity at length an active search was made, and the young girl, named ITMTV}IECORNE, confessed she was the author of the last die, and that she had been incited to it by one ' LErmr, who gave her three &axles for it. LEPETIT was accordingly arrested ; he is described as a strange animal " living like a savage by himself, and commonly clothed in a skin." On thoir trial the girl repeated her story and persisted it it.. teerm de. , niecl it, but acted in such an extravagant manner, that the audience were absolutely merry. It was proved that when the fires were raging, he obssrved that " France w4a too, rich, and that there should be more equality." He admitted on his trial that he thought France needed purgation of its crimes, and that it would rise lime a Phoenix from the flames. Both the culprits were ordered for execution ; whereupon LErnir danced with delight, exclaiming, " j aui. fouud guilty! mu found guilty !"
