T HE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER• CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis), POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist upon the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver under the guises of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," &e. &c., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our material so that acids do not afiect it ; it is now so well known and appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver, can only be had at our warehouses. It is the same through out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles that are in silver, from which it can only be told by reference to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's Pattern.

ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY AT EDINBURGH. of Buccleuch joined the Royal party, and remained for some time in cppversation with her Majesty and Prince Albert, whße preparations were making for the Royal landing. On her Majesty stepping into the carriage her Royal Consort affectionately asked whether she would desire the carriage to be open or covered ? Upon which her Majesty replied, " Oh, not at all, unless it rains more." We have previously spoken of the many disap pointments arising from the early hour at which her Afajesty came on shore. Among others, her Grace the Duchess of Bu cc l euc h , the Mistress of the Robes, was driving in from Dalkeith Palace towards Gran ton ; and never suspecting th a t h er M a j es ty h a d l e ft the Royal yacht, her Grace was proceeding by the London road, while the Royal cortege was proceed ing by the Regent-road, on the other side of the Calton Hill. On her Grace seeing that her mission had been thus rendered fruitless, her carriage was immediately turned, and drove with all speed back to Dalkeith Palace, in order to be there in time to receive the Queen. Her Majesty suffered a good deal from sea-sick ness during the voyage, which compelled her, as far as possible, to keep on deck, where a couch was pre pared for her accommodation. This may account, in some degree, for the Queen's anxiety to get ashore as soon as possible. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. (From the Second Edition of the Caledonian Mercury of Thursday Evening.) HER MAJESTY'S LANDING. TEN o'CLoca, A.M.—The Royal yacht approached Granton Pier this morning about eight o'clock, towed by the Black Eagle and Shearwater steamers. At seven o'clock in the morning the signal gun was fired from the Castle, and even at that early hour the streets and the whole line of road leading to Granton was thronged ; but it being generally believed that the Royal party would not land until at least eleven o'clock, thousands were quite unprepared for the un expected turn that circumstances took. At a few minutes past eight the Royal yacht came alongside of Granton Pier, and her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert immediately after wards landed, in quite a private manner; indeed, the 53d infantry and a squadron of the Inniskillen Dragoons had just arrived in time to anticipate the event. The Royal Archers, the Queen's body guard, were too late. The Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Council had been summoned at an early hour ; but little dreaming of the precipitancy of the Royal movements, they were on their way to the barrier, when they were informed that her Majesty had entered the gate, and was far on her way through the city. As for the other public bodies, none of them had even assembled at the rendezvous, far less taken any part in the Royal cavalcade. Her Majesty entered an open carriage and four, Prince Albert taking his seat on her left hand. The Queen was attired in a pale blue dress with a pink satin cased bonnet and a white lace shawl lined with pink. Her Majesty wore her haii braided. Prince Albert wore a large travelling cloak, with red collar, and a white hat. Her Majesty and his Royal High ness looked remarkably well ; and notwithstanding the early hour of the morning, and the dulness of the weather, thousands were assembled at the Pier, and received the Royal Pair with loud and enthusi astic shouts of welcome. Her Majesty bowed in the most courteous and affable manner to the crowds on each side, and Prince Albert repeatedly took off his hat and acknowledged the cheers of the multitude. Two other open carriages, containing the Ladies in Wait ing, and others of the Royal suite, followed her Ma jesty's carriage. A party of the Inniskillens pre ceded, and another followed the Royal cortege ; the 53d Infantry followed. At half-past nine o'clock, when her Majesty was passing the statue of George IV. in George-street, Royal salute was fired from the Castle. Sir Neil Douglas, Icsmmander of the Forces in Scotland, rode close to the Royal carriage, attended by several of the North British staff. The Royal Archers, the Queen's body-guard, were on their way to Granton Pier when they met the Royal cortege, which they joined, walking in single file on each side. Her Majesty's carriage moved at a very smart pace, so that the Archers and Infantry had to march at double quick time in order to keep up with the cavalcade. The scaffoldings along the line were scarcely half filled, few imagining that her Majesty would be so early astir and in the midst of her subjects ; never theless, the greetings along Pitt-street, Dundas street, and Prince's -street, were loud and reiterated, her Majesty. and Prince Albert continuing without intermission to acknowledge the homage ; but so rapid was the pace, so early the hour, and so unexpected the whole affair, that we need not say, the effect fell far short of what might have been expected, had the landing been delayed for an hour, and ample premo nition given. As it was, the authorities, and indeed every one, were taken by surprise, and those who did obtain a sight of their Sovereign, owed it to their good fortune, for public arrangement there was none. At the time the Royal cortege passed the Register Office, thousands were pouring along the South and North Bridges, but only to meet with disappointment. Numbers ran to the Calton Hill, in the hope of obtain ing a glimpse of the interesting spectacle, hut, with few exceptions, were baffled in thei r ex p ec t a ti ons. The Celtic Society, in the full costume of their re spective clans, under the command of that spirited young Nobleman the Marquis of Lorne and Islay as their Lieutenant, were drawn up in front of the Waterloo Hotel, where they saluted her Majesty in Highland fashion. The garb of the Highlanders is at all times imposing, but upon this occasion the dresses were more than usually splendid. We cannot convey any idea of the scene which fol lowed. People looked at each other in foolish amaze ment ; and various of the public bodies, who were in dividually repairing to their respective rendezvous, were arrested on the spot, and stood looking around them with vacant gaze. The Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Council, in their doubt and extremity, ordered their carriages to drive round to the Regent-terrace, so as to intercept the Royal progress ; but in the circumstances they re ceived no special notice, beyond the gracious acknow ledgments which were paid to all around. We should have stated, that in proceeding along princes'-street, the Royal carriage stopped for a few seconds opposite the monument in the course of erection to the me mory of Sir 'Walter Scott. Here the cheering was tremendous, and her Majesty looked around in appa rent astonishment at the preparation made for her reception. The Town Council are now in deliberation, with . closed doOrs, and we understand an animated discus sion is going on, the result of which we shall endea vour to give in a third edition, along with any other farther particulars which may reach us. At present the streets are crowded with people. • Half-past Eleven. We have just learned that the Town Council have come to the resolution of proceeding. to Dalkeith Palace in a body—we presume to wait on Sir Rober Peel, the Earl of Aberdeen, and the Duke of Buc cleuch, with a view of soliciting an audience of her Majesty, and receiving the Royal pleasure as to a procession and other proceedings to-morrow. Mercury Office, 3 P.M. The following public notice has been issued by the Lord Provost : " Owing to the early hour at which the Queen landed this morning, the arrangements made yester day for informing the public of her Majesty's entry into the city could not be carried through ; and the Council having subsequently met, resolved on pro ceeding forthwith to Dalkeith Palace, with the view of representing to her Majesty their regret that the keys had not been delivered at the Barrier, and that the public had not had the anticipated opportunity of testifying their loyalty and devoted attachment to her Majesty. A notorious pickpo ;ket, of the name of John Hard ing, was charged with having robbed a female, who is book-l-eeper at the Castle and Falcon tavern, of a purse containing some silver. Charles Hitchin, a cab driver, stated that as he was moving along in his cab, looking out for a customer, he saw the prisoner, who was in,the company of two other men put his hand upon the cloth es o f the prose cutrix and raise up her pocket, and then clap his other hand into the pocket and pass something which he took out to one of his companions. Witness imme diately got off his seat, tapped the lady on the shoulder, and told her she was robbed, and then seized the pri soner by the breast. The prisoner struck him vio lently, and endeavoured to get away, but it was no go. Prisoner—Now give me leave, my Lord, to put a question or two to this chap. The LORD MAYOR—Certainly. Prisoner (to the witness)—Now I say, you said you saw me put my hand under the lady's pocket ; which hand was it ? Witness—Your right hand ; and then you put your left hand into her pocket quite comfortable. Prisoner—Why I warn't near the lady at all. as you go along I'll take you in charge." He in stantly grasped hold of her, and witness asked why he had apprehended her, when he said, "Never mind, you know nothing about the matter." Witness had by this time reached his own house, into which he was glad to escape. The defendant was &.eidedly sober, but somewhat excited. F iIHE CHINESE COLLECTION . 1. ST.

He had known her twelve years, and never knew her otherwise than prudent, sober, and quiet. Several other gentlemen here pressed forward to speak to her respectability, but the Magistrate ex pressed himself satisfied and dismissed the charge. Next followed an examination incidental to the above, and which terminated in a most extraordinary manner. TO PERSONS VISITING BOULOGNE. F LOURY'S COMMERCIAL HOTEL, 15, RUE NEUVE-CHAUSSEE, BOULOGNE-SUR- M ER. FOURTH EDITION. MERCURY-OFFICE, FOUR O'CLOCK P.M. The Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Council have ust returned from Dalkeith Palace, and on reaching the Royal Exchange were received with great cheer ing by the populace. The Lord Provost, from his carriage, addressed the collected crowd, stating gene rally that her Majesty had been graciously pleased to depart from all her arrangements in order to please her people. That the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Council had been received courteously and most po litely by her Majesty ; and that she had expressed deep regret for the disappointment which had been occasioned this morning. —(Cheering.) Her Majesty Lad previously fixed to go north on Monday, and to hold a Drawing-room on Saturday ; but in con sequence of the strong and attached feeling dis played by the people of Edinburgh, she had re solved so far to disappoint the Marquis of Breadal bane, Lord Willoughby D'Eresby, the Earls of Kin noull and Mansfield, and all the Grandees of the kingdom, in order to gratify her loyal subjects.— (Great cheering.) There was now to be a proces sion on Saturday, a Drawing-room at Dalkeith Pa :ace on Monday, and her Majesty would proceed north on Tuesday. 'in regard to the arrangements for the procession of Saturday, the precise line had not yet been arranged, but his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch was to communicate the arrangements to the Town Council to-morrow morning, so that all the citizens might know where to see their Sovereign— (Renewed cheering.) His Lordship then read the following memorandum :—" Upon waiting on her Majesty's Ministers this morning, at Dalkeith Palace, we had the satisfaction of learning, that her Majesty had been previously pleased to anticipate the wishes of the Town Council and the people of Edinburgh, and had signified her intention to pass from Dalkeith to the Castle on Saturday next, entering the city by the Palace of Holyrood, and passing up the Canongate."— (Tremendous cheering.) The Lord Provost and the other members after wards adjourned to the Council Chamber, where his Lordshipt t de repeated front the of the statements he Exchange. T had he Council made to the xn u Rotm and the Quadrangle were completely filled luring these proceedings. Witness—You vas quite near enough to rob her, however.—(A laugh.) Prisoner—Well, now, you say I had two com panions with me. Did yo u see us talki ng t oge th er ? Witness—l saw you understood one another without sayingsaying anything. Prisoner—When I was putting my hand, as you say, into her pocket, did I say a word to any one ? Witness—Not a word. You knew too well what you was about.—(Laughter.) Prisoner—Now, when rou took hold of me, did I run away ? Witness—l`o, for I had fast hold of you. You could not run away, but you struck me several times. Prisoner—Now, how do you know these men you talked of were friends of mine ? Witness—lf they were not friends of yours, they must have been very intimate acquaintances.—(Laughter.) Prisoner—You saw the lady at the Station-house. Did you not see that there was a hole in the pocket she says she lost her purse from ? Witness—The only hole in her pocket was that into which your hand got ?—(Great laughter.) Prisoner—And you swear you saw my hand there ? Witness—Yes ; I saw it there quite comfortable. You thought it was all right till I paid my respects to you.—(A laugh.) The prosecutrix stated that the cabman tapped her on her shoulder, and told her she was robbed. She had not felt any hand near her, but upon putting her hand to her pocket she missed her purse. Prisoner—l hope your Lordship don't believe what these people say. There is not one word of truth in all they have said, upon my soul. If I was on the drop this moment rd take my oath of it. The LORD MAYOR—I have known you to be a very desperate thief for a length of time. Now, I have no doubt we shall get rid of you. You are committed to Newgate for trial.

JOII.I\T RUDDOCK, late of W en tb r id ge, an d f or many years of the White Swan Inn, in the City of York, begs meat respectfully to inform the Nobility, Gentry, Com mercial Gentlemen, and the public generally that he has en tered upon the above Hotel (lately occupied by Mrs. Monk man) which is now undergoing a complete renovation and im provement, and lie assures those who may please to honour him with their support, that no exertions shall be wanting on his part to ensure the comfort of his visitors.

The stabling and coach-houses are superior, and steady hostlers will be aIA ays on the premises. • An omnibus attends the arrival and departure of eac Railway Train. Five gentlemen, named Neal, Hughes, Gibson, Fitzroy, and Negas, were charged with interrupting Cotton in the execution of his duty. Cotton said, as he was taking Mrs. Knight to the station-house, Neal asked the nature of the charge, and as he would not satisfy him, he (Neal) said she should not be taken until he was satisfied, at the same time pushing witness against the railings. For this " assault and obstruction" witness handed him over to a policeman who was attracted to the spot by the springing of his rattle. Mrs. Knight had asked Neal to protect her, and said, " Don't let them take me to the station-house." The other prisoners got round witness, and prevented him from quietly taking Mrs. Knight. The witness swore positively that he did not strike either of the prisoners. Maddocks, the constable, deposed that Mrs. Knight called Mr. Hughes by name, and requested him to fetch Mr. Coventry: The defendants, who were all men of most un questionable respectability, separately addressed the Aench. They all protested that Cotton was drunk, and said, that hearing the cries of murder in a woman's voice, they hastened to the spot, and found Cotton roughly grasping her, and she complaining of her arms being pinched. Neither of them, in the most remote degree, either by word or act, interrupted the officer, but because they insisted on following to the station-house, they, with the exception of Mr. Gibson, were thrown down upon the pavement and brutally kicked. The latter gentleman had gone a silent spec tator to the door of the station-house, but when there he was felled by Cotton, and instantly dragged to a cell. They all said that such was Cotton's conduct that he must have been either mad with liquor or insane. Mrs. Knight was examined for the defendants, and on her oath corroborated their statements in every par ticular. THE BEST LIFE OF NAPOLEON. This day, in 4 vole Bvo., handsomely bound, price 30s.

The Magistrate (Mr. Combe), to the astonishment of every one present, here said he considered the charge proved.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURN A LS. v e GLOBE. —As t L o G B y E. ehnaenri asls ordersat no the ifttii.soiem order h withdrawaloniimmediatee i , ss rr u ee ed e recal—whether iv b f_e y t Il t ve h d ihm e Go ea trinhmeelir cf. r a o u l I s l e d A ff b g considerationiot f was the i c s o su n e se d q , u o e r ne b e y s l a vh m i ore calm ch would follow its execution—only strengthens the im pression of its impolicy and danger, and encou rages in their censures those who were already disposed to view with jealousy any step which would imply a disposition to depart from and condemn the plans of the late Government. With every disposition to postpone expressing a strong opinion of what all agree to regard as an un expected and extraordinary proceeding on the part of Lord Ellenborough, until fuller litrht is afforded, it is impossible to avoid the indulgence of a presentiment against the preci pitate order, involving, as it did, consequence; pregnant with danger, if not of protracted misery and eventual death, to the prisoners in Akbar Khan's power, and for whose liberation and safety we are bound by every consideration to provide in the first • instance; and also of dis honour to the British name, and jeopardy to the British empire in India. The Times asserts that it is " not given to pronounce hasty judg ments"—and in the present instance would, from political predilections, be disposed to make the best of an untoward event in the administration of the government to to which it gives a general, if not a very •cor dial, support. Yet the Times is compelled to see, in Lord Ellenborough's proceeding, abun (Lint cause fur suspicion, and even for censure. Certain it is, that the subject must undergo the closest and most searching investigation. There must be no attempt to shield the Governor Ge neral under the pretence of the danger of dis closing the instructions issued for his guidance, or by any other of the many convenient official veils by which mismanagement, arid the ca lamities thus produced, are too often screened from exposure and punishment. Sir Robert . Peel will hardly risk the inevitable shock his. Ministry would receive from the indignation which will be generally excited against it, if concealment or impunity be obtained by the mere force of a subservient Parliamentary ma jority, fur a functionary who has jeopardid the safety of an entire empire, and actually dimmed the previously unsullied glory of the British name in that widely extended appendage of the British Crown—a possession which is emphati cally held by the moral influence we possess over the natives, rather than by any force we could wield in support of our authority, were that moral influence considerably weakened or destroyed. STANDARD.—With regard to Lord Ellen borough's imputed recal of the army of the Indus, we have, asyet, noauthentic information, since the most conflicting rumours appear to prevail upon the subject throughout India. Whilst one party asserts that if his Lordship has ordered the withdrawal of the whole of the troops beyond the Indus, and only cancelled that order until the season is favourable to such a movement, others affirm with equal confidence, either that no such order has been issued, or that if it have, it has been unreservedly with drawn and that the Supreme Government are determined to employ the most energetic means to compel the Affghans to terins Without having any data on which to form a decided opinion on the subject, we may re mark that - the very measures now in the course of adoption would seem to strengthen our belief that no abandonment of the country is at present designed, and that the delay in the operations of General Pollock has arisen from contingencies which it was impossible for the Government to control—the want of means of transport and other circum stances—affording ample excuse for deferring the proposed expedition. •These measures are, first, the collection of an army of reserve, con than 20,000 m en a t Si r hi n d , suirsatirnWelii.ii,owii'Liwcleilis to be commanded by Sir J. Nicoll; second, the fact that 7,000 camels were about to be sent to Jellalabad; third, the orders given c a t a G r. e n e l r t a 1 a N p p o e t t a r t s o , m n ai lorir.teaoi ver, tii position at m a o t impression, therefore,namely,baobulyr Si k r i t i ht. t . n p bo u p i s .p(. li s a , reachedeot occupyingJel is unchanged, 1 a t l i t a e b a p d a ' ss p e r s o . ap pliances" are obtained, the march to C t at, so soon as the, neetssary " meatr a s u a b r u l will be prosecuted with the utmost vigovigouraantdlddceuteffiv ruination.

Extract from a private letter received in the City ,his morning:—This morning the Duke and Sir Robert ran off with the Queen from Granton Pier an hour and a half before the time it was arranged she should progress upwards to the city. No Magistrate nor public body met her at the barrier where the keys of the city were to have been delivered to her, and not a twentieth part of the immense multitude saw her Majesty. This, after having waited all night for the express purpose, filled the minds of all with one burst of indignation. None of our civic func • tionaries were in waiting to meet her. The whole Town Council went off immediately to Dalkeith to state that they would not be answerable for the peace of the city, if matters were not anjusted. The apology made was the sickness of the Queen, and it was promised that on Saturday she would have a public procession from the Palace of Holyrood to the Castle; but the public feeling has fallen down to zero, and no appliances that can be made will again bring up the steam.

The beautiful demesne was thronged with ladies and gentlemen, admitted by tickets, who en thusiastically cheered the Royal pair. Immediately on the auspicious event being announced in Dalkeith, the bells rang a merry peal, and a union jack was hoisted on the steeple. The town was crowded to excess, and great preparations are making for a ge neral illumination this evening. 8,404 Total actual decrease ............ 425,812 It may be observed that the above very remark able decrease in the comparative consumption of wines occurs almost, if not indeed quite, exclusively in those wines which are in most general consump tion, whereas the only increase is in such wines as are consumed, with scarcely. society. an exception, by the more wealthy classes of The immense de crease in port wine may be partly, but only in part, accounted for by the present uncertainty as regards the proposed alteration in the duties on importation , but the same argumen t does not apply to : } 'erry and Spanish wine s genera lly, which have fallen off by up wards of 64,000 gallons; nor to Colorli4 op Pape wines, which have decreased by upwßfli§ pt eight and three fifths per cent, Her Majesty's Solicitor-General, Sir William Fol lett, and family, Mr. Sergeant Jones, and Sir W.

When our Reporters left Dalkeith, the Lord Pro. vost and Council were still in the Palace ; but they were informed, from authority, that it had been de cided by Ministers, that the Levee announced for to morrow at Holyrood House, should not take place, in consequence of its having been represented, by medical authority, that scarlet fever prevailed in the vicinity. In these circumstances the Queen has re solved to hold a Drawing-room at Dalkeith Palace on Monday, resting there from the fatigues of her voy age during the whole of to-morrow. Bailie Richardson and Adam Black, Esq., arrived at the Palace, about one o'clock, in a carriage and four, with state liveries, and shortly after were fol io% ed by nearly the whole Members of Council in open carriages, that containing the Lord Provost being drawn by six horses. The Duke of Argyle, with some members of his family, arrived at Dalkeith Palace about half-past one o'clock, to pay his respects to her Majesty. By the way, we may mention here, that if the Queen had extended her tour to the country of the Macallum more, his Grace was expected to turn out 1,500 High landers, to whom his kinsman, the Chieftain of Islay, would have added 500 more. The Guard of Honour at Dalkeith is composed of a party of the 53d Infantry.. Flags are flying on the rampart of the venerable ruin of Craigmillar Castle, once the favourite residence of the unfortunate Mary. Sir Robert Peel reached Granton Pier at an early hour in the morning, and as soon as the Royal y ac ht came alongside, the Premier went on board, and, after rendering the usual homage to her Majesty, he en tered into conversation, which appeared to be carried on, on the part of the Queen, with great liveliness and condescension.

Brown , late a letter-carrier in the employ of the General Post-office, was charged with stealing a letter, containing 1/. 3s. 6d. Mr. Peacock, solicitor to the Post-office, attended on behalf of the Post-office, and Mr. Clarkson, ap peared for the prisoner. Mr. John Hail deposed that the prisoner was the letter-carrier employed for the delivery of letters in the district of the Temple. Having heard complaints of the non-delivery of certain letters in that district, witness, who is an Assistant Inspector at the Post office, inclosed a sovereign, a half-crown, and a shil ling, all of which coin he privately marked, in a let ter, on the 30th ult., and addressed it to "Mr. Bowers, at F. Thesiger, Esq.'s, Temple." 'Witness gave the letter to Willis Clare, a sub sorter, at the Post-office. That letter never arrived. The prisoner was searched, and the half-crown was found upon him, which wit ness identified as the half.crown that he had inclosed in the letter. The shilling and sovereign were also found and identified A great number of witnesses were called, who raced the letter in question, from the time when the last witness delivered it to Willis Clare through the various departments in the . Post office, and till its delivery with the other Temple letters to the prisoner. Other witnesses were also called to prove that the letter never reached its destination. Mr. Clarkson cross-examined most of the wit nesses, but at the conlusion of the case, he said he was afraid the evidence before the Court was such that the prisoner must be committed. Mr. TWYFORD committed him accordingly. FORGERY OF MONEY ORDERS BY A CLERK IN THE POST-OFFICE.—A gentlemanly attired young man, named James Samuel Brown, (no relation of the last prisoner) late a clerk in:the money department of the General Post•office, was then placed at the bar charged with forging money-orders, under the follow . ing circumstances. Elizabeth Blunden kept a receiving post-office at Camberwell, and had been in the habit of paying money-orders. On the 24th of August last received a letter of advice purporting to come from the post office at Sittingbourne, authorising her to pay 39/. 9s. sd. to William Goucher at Peckham, being on seven orders for Si. each, and one for 4/. 9s. sd. The prisoner called the following morning, and from what he stated she gave the money to him. He re presented himself to be the person for whom the money was intended. Charles Wm. Armstrong, a clerk in the Money order-office of the General Post-office, stated that the prisoner had been for some time a fellow clerk of his. He believed the letter of advice, dated the 23d of August last, to be in the prisoner's hand-writing, and not to have been issued by the Sittingbourne Post-office. Rowland Jackson identified the writing of the advice letter to be that of the prisoner's, and proved that the prisoner was absent from the office on the 25th of August for several hours. A Post-office constable took the prisoner into cus tody, and searched his lodgings at No. 12, Old Gravel-lane, where he found 651. in notes, 189 sove reigns, and ten money-orders. Mr. Peacock said there were other charges of a similar character to be brought against the prisoner. Mr. TWYFORD then remanded him till Friday next. CLERKENWELL. Mrs. Charlotte Knight, an independent widow lady, residing at No. 4, Claremont-place, Pentonville, was brought up under the following circumstances : Police Sergeant Cotton, 10 G, said that at half-past one o'clock on that morning he was conversing with a brother officer in St. John-street, when the accused approached him, saying, " Oh, you are the villain, are you ? You shall not be a policeman much longer, for I am intimately acquainted with Colonel Rowan." lie desired her to go home, but she refused and continued abusing him, so he took her to the station-house and charged her with being drunk and disorderly.

Complainant —Seeing that you were annoy ing a lady and gentleman I told you that if you did not go along I would take you into custody. I swear that you were drunk ; and I did not say as you were passing that I knew you well—You were just come from Wallbank s. Maddocks, 40 G, deposed that he was with Cot ton ; that the defendant when addressing the lady and gentleman went close to them, leaving witness and Cottyn some yards behind, and that the latter did not in any way interfere with her until she had stopped at the door of the lady and gentleman, and refused to go on. Defendant certainly implored wit ness to save her from being injured when the sergeant seized hold of her. She was much excited and ap peared to have been drinking. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said the sergeant grossly abused abuse her as she passed, and, with a view of having his conduct investigated, she said she would take his number ; at this instant a lady and gentleman came up, and she implored their protection. Cotton said, " if you take my number I'll take you," and imme, diately pounced upon her with brutal violence, and so injured and alarmed her that she besought the pastors by not to allow her to be murdered.

He said that all the par. ties were strangers to him; that as he was passing the defendant claimed his protection, saying she had been much insulted by those policemen, and that Cotton then said to her, « We know you ; you have just left Mrs. Wallbankia, and if you talk to people about us , steamer, Lieut.

(From the "Report on the Sanitary Condition of this Labouring Population of Great Britain.) In Paris the interests of turbulent bodies of men, the water-carriers, and another class of men called the chiffonniers, who live by raking for what they can find amongst the refuse cast into the streets, are opposed to any change which will reduce the charge of imperfect cleansing, and the disease promoted by filth. The general practice in that metropolis is to cast all the rubbish of the house into the street on the overnight, or before seven o'clock in the morning, when men attend with carts to sweep it np and rem move it. In the night-time, however, the chigonnier comes with a lantern and rakes amongst the refuse, and picks from it bones, rags, or whatever may have been thrown away by acc id ent, or b y the carelessness of the servants. The offensive filth of their persons and their occupation, makes them outcasts from other classes of workmen ; they sleep amidst their collee tiohs of refuse, and they are idle during the day ; they are like all men who live under such cireum• stances, prone to i n d u l gence i n ardent spirits; being degraded and savage, they are ready to throw away their wretches lives on every occasion. There are nearly 2,000 of the chiffoniers alone in Paris, and they and the water-carriers were conspicuous actors in the Revolution of 1830. During the administra tion of Casimir Perrier the householders had com plained of the inconvenient mode of cleansing the streets by large heavy carts drawn by three horses, which, during their slow progress throughout the day, obstruct the public thoroughfares and occasion great inconveniences, especially in the narrow streets. In the beginning of the year 1834, when the cho lera broke out, the attention of the authorities was di. rected to sanitary measures, and the municipality de cided that the cleansing of the streets should be done by contract, by a quick relay of carts of a smaller and more convenient shape, drawn by single horses ; and in, order to dimini s h th e i n convenie nce o f the pre... sence of these improved vehicles, the contractor wa s allowed to collect one load for each of his carts on the 9ver-night, which would have led to a practice similar to that of London, where the dust-carts take the refuse difect from the house without any ,deposit in the streets. But in this arrangement an important interest had been overlooked • the chiffonniers, who were said to ha ve b een aided and directed ,by the owners and men belonging to the superseded vehicles, rose in revolt, attacked and drove away the conduc tors, broke to pieces the new carts, threw the frag ments into the river, or made bonfires with them. Unfortunately at that time the cholera had broken out at Paris. The mobs of chiffonniers which col lected on the following day were swollen by other crowds of ignorant, t err ifi e d , and savage people, who were persuaded th a t th e deaths from the strange plague were occasioned by poison. "My agents," says the then Prefet of Police, in an account, of this revolt, " could not be at all points at once, to oppose the fury of those crowds of men with naked arms and haggard figures, and sinister looks, who are never seen in ordinary times, and who seemed on this day to have arisen out of the earth. Wishing to judge my self of the foundation for the alarming reports that were brought to me, I went out alone and on foot. I had great difficulty in getting through these dense masses, scarcely covered with filthy rags; no descrip tion could convey their hideous aspect, or the sensa tion of terror which the hoarse and ferocious cries created. Although lam not easily moved, lat one time feared for the safety of Paris—of honest people and their property." In fact, the riot was one of the most dangerous that had been witnessed in that city, and it was not suppressed without great exertions and some loss of life. The anxieties which it occasioned to the Minister, Casimir Perrier, and his disgust at the political use made of it, were considered to have contributed to his death. He was himself attacked with the cholera, and died a few days after. Shortly before his death, when expressing his disgust, he said to the Prefet, "My friend, we are harnessed to a vile carriage." " Truly so," replied the Prefet, " and the ways are dreadfully dirty." The material ways of the city continued as they were, the Prefet seeing that the introduction of the new carts became " a motive to discontent and collision," took upon him self to set aside the contract with the contractor, who, he states, received no other compensation for his losses than a permission which he could not use to collect the refuse during the day, and the chiffonniers con tinue to the present time in the exercise of their wretched vocation at the expense of the public health and cleanliness. The course of the present inquiry shows how strongly circumstances that are governable govern the habits of the population, and in some instances appear almost to breed the species of the population. Con ceiving it probable that the amount of filth left by defective cleansing had its corresponding description of persons, I made inquiries of the Commissio:iers of Metropolitan Police. From returns which they ob tained from their superintendents, it appears that of the class of bon e -pi c k ers , mud-rakers, people living on the produce of dung-heaps in mews, courts, yards, and bye-lanes, insuffi c i en tl y cleansed, . 5 98 are known to the police. From an observation of the proportion of filthy children and adults who appear amidst refuse whenever there are new buildings and an unusual quantity of rubbish, and from other circumstance; I believe that, were the refuse of houses daily cast into the streets in London in the same manner as in Paris, London would soon have as large and as dangerous a population of the chiffonnier class. I am informed by Sir . Charles Shaw, the Chief Commissioner of Police at Manchester, that there are 302. of them known within the police jurisdiction of that town also. He complains that they have heretofore been licensed in their occupation; that the children are pilferers, and occupy the attention of the police, and furnish a large • qunta to the stock of juvenile delin quents and the population of the prisons. • I am in formed that in Bath there are about 100 of them known ; and in o th er towns and places I have little doubt that they would be found in like pro portions which 'approach the. proportions of the stated num: hers of chiffonni ers to the population of Paris. These degraded creatures are also found amongst the in mates of the workhouses, and 'the close identity their habits with those o f th e chiffonniers of Pam of afford a striking proof of the similarity of the popu lation produced_ by simila r it y of circumstances. Th are thus described to m e b y an eye-witness : ey " The bone-pickers are the dirtiest of all the in mates of our workhouse ; I have seen them take a bone from a dung heap, and gnaw it while reeking hot with the fermentation of decay. Bones, from which th e meat had been cut raw, an d which had still thin strips of flesh adhering to them, they scraped carefully with their knives, and put the 'bits, no matter how befouled with dirt, into a wallet or pocket appropriated to the purpose. They have told me, that whether in broth or grilled, they were the most savoury dish that could be imagined. I have not ob served that these creatures were savage, but th 43s were thoroughly debased. Often hardly human, in appearance, they had neither human tastes nor sym pathies, no r even h uman sensations, for the revelled in the filth w hi c h i s grateful to dogs, and ogler lower animals, and which to our apprehension is redolent only of nausea and abomination. The following Report from one of the su tendents t o th e C ommiss i oners of the metro perm Lro e Police describ es th e manner i n w hi ch the pontaay appear to the police, their moral character, and the the means o f p reven ti on efficacy o f " " With reference to the question of the Commi.- sioners as to the means of subsistence of that portion of the population which at present exists by picki:og bye-lanes, &e. in the event of t; nose bones in the places being properly cl eanse d I , am of opinion that they would be compelled to adopt some more laborious and useful means of obtaining a livelihood, such as field labour, &c. They are at present an idle dis solute class, prowling about the stables, yards, backs o f premises, and lanes, willing to connnit petty felony wherever opportunity presents itself. - While it would remove them, on the other hand, the instant remove) of filth from the metro 1 . mast prove beneficial to the health of th_e inhabitants;' ." It will then be found to be an ultimately beneficial effect of the removal of the circumstances by the adoption of such modes of cleansing as diminish the Prevalent amount of filth or filthy ;processes, that it will force a change to other occupations of a less de grading character, and diminish the number of per sons " brought up" to them. Any provision of the nature of a Poor-law may be said to be badl con structed whi c h d oes not allow the exercise At h a dis cretionary auth or it y to alleviate any severe - veniences to the poorest classes from such chances. incon _ _ LLOYD'S s G.
