Paris is under eternal obligations to Bona parte ; he did more for it than even Louis XIV. He combined, in a greater degree, the useful with the magnificent. Despotic as he was, he saw that the mass of the people was now a power which must not be dazzled merely, as in the time of Louis XIV. but conciliated and served. His designs are said to have been essentially his own. It seems most probable that they could have been conceived only by the same mind which had the force, energy, and re sources to execute them. He freed the bridges and banks of the Seine from the embarrassment and deformity of the old houses by which they were still crowded ; built magnificent quays and wharfs ; and erected four bridges of remarkable beauty, as monuments of art—before the Gar den of Plants—from the Ile St. Louis to the Ile de /a Cite—from the Louvre to the Palace of the Institute—from the Quai de Chaillot to the Champs de Mars. He not only conceived (for even the conception was a great merit), but had nearly executed, at his fall, the Canal de l'Ourcq—a gigantic public work, commencing at the river of that name, receiving tributary streams, communicating with other canals for the convenience and transport of inland com merce, and conducted over a line of fifteen leagues to the plain of La Villette, eighty-three feet above the level of the Seine, for the purpose of supplying water to the capital. He distri buted the public supply of water by fifteen new and abundant fountains, of which some are beau tiful specimens of architecture. The immense architectural and sculptural mass, called " the Fountain of the Elephant," was left by him, and still remains unfinished. The people, not merely of Paris, but of the whole kingdom, are indebted to him for those spacious markets, so commo diously arranged for the sale of every kind of pro duce ; for public stores, especially the wine stores, which surprise by their vastness, the happy ingenuity of their distribution, and their architectural grandeur. He erected, outside the barrier, five abatoires or slaughter-houses ; and thus relieved the town from the inconve nient and dangerous presence of herds of cattle, the revolting spectable of blood, and the noxious miasmata of butchery and tallow-melting. The vast granary of reserve, destined by him to pro tect the people of Paris against famine and the change of seasons, now unfinished or aban doned, remains a monument of the instability of all human power, and the uncertainty of all hu man projects. He cleared the Place de Ca rousal, between the Louvre and the Tuileries, of its obstructions and nuisances ; adorned it with a triumphal arch ; completed the Louvre ; filled its gallery with sculpture and paintings, the fruits of his rapacious conquests, and the spoils of continental Europe ; and built a se cond gallery from the adjacent angle, so as to complete the square of the vast area of the Carousal, and the junction of the Louvre with the Tuilleries. The garden of the Tuileries owes much of its magnificence to the noble vista which he opened by the Rue Castiglione to the triumphal column in the Place Vendome—the opposite view of the Chamber of Deputies, with its noble Portico, on the left bank of the Seine—and the unfinished but grand triumphal arch of Neuilly, facing the Palace on the side of the garden. This arch, destined originally to commemorate Bonaparte's German campaigns, has since been completed as a monument in ho nour of the Duke of Angouleme and his expe dition to Cadiz—a destination so ill-judged and incongruous as to partake of the burlesque. The two falls of this singular man, equally great as a ruler and conqueror, and the two consequent occupations of Paris by allied Europe, are mat ter of history.—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cy clopcedia.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW.STREET. Yesterday Mr. Joseph Lilly, a bookseller residing in Museum-street, 13loomsbury, appeared to an as sault warrant obtained against him by Mr. William Delves, a gentleman who resides in Mary-street, Regent's-park. The complainant, a slight delicate-looking young man, appeared with his left hand in a sling, and his face also bore marks of violence. He stated, that on Tuesday evening about nine o'clock he was standing opposite the London University admiring the build ing, when a white terrier dog ran at him. Knowing the many dreadful cases of hydrophobia that had lately occurred, and feeling a sudden dread that the (log was mad, he (Mr. Delves) made a kick at the animal, not being provided with a stick. The de• fendant immediately called out " You puppy," or some such word, " let the dog alone." Feeling naturally irritated at being insulted by the owner of the dog instead of receiving an apology, he ( Mr. Delves) said in return, " You are an insolent scoundrel for using such language, after I have been nearly bitten by your dog." The defendant, in a me. na&ng attitude, replied, " If you dare say that agAin, l'il knock you down;"_ whereupon he (Mr. Delves) repeated, " You are an insolent scoundrel ;" upon which the defendant struck him a violent blow on the mouth, andknocked him down. Feeling that he was no match for a young man of the defendant's strength, be begged of him, in rising, not to strike him again, as he had lately been ill, and was still in a delicate state of health. The defendant, however, knocked him down a second time ; and having re covered in some measure from the blow, he was re treating across the street, when he beard the defend ant pursuing him, and fearing another attack, he put his hand to his face, and immediately received a blow which knocked him down a third time. The de fendant, not content with this, kicked him while on the ground in a brutal and unmanly manner, and inflicted the wound upon his hand, which obliged him to have it dressed by a surgeon and confined in a sling. He lay upon the ground almost insensible for some time, and then went in search of an officer, while the defendant walked away in another direc tion. Fortunately, he met with a police constable in Tottenham-court-road, to whom he related the usage he had received, and requested him to follow the defendant, which he accordingly did, and having overtaken him, he (Mr. Delves) gave him into cus tody, and he was conveyed to Eagle-street watch house, where the inspector was about to enter the charge, but hearing that the police constable had not been a witness to the assault, he refused to de tain the defendant, observing that he must be appre hended on a warrant. Mr. HALLS observed that this was a strange regu lation, and asked the defendant what he had to say in answer to the charge. The defendant declared that the dog had no in tention whatever of biting the complainant. " Upon his using the word scoundrel, two or three times over, I certainly," added the defendant, " knocked him down ; and I think no man who bad an ounce of spirit in his nature, and who had a female in his company, for my wife was with me, could have done less." Sir R. BIRNIE said that the defendant had no right whatever to take the law into his own hands. Defendant—What was Itodo ? Was I tamely to submit to be called a scoundrel, without seeking for redress ? If I were to come here in the morn ing, and complain to your Worships that I had been called a scoundrel, you would say I had no remedy. Sir R. BIRNIE—Not so; for you might, if you liked, prove in a court of justice that you were not a scoundrel. Defendant—l know that if two gentlemen were to quarrel, and that either applied the word scoun drel to the other, they may go out and shoot each other through the heads. Mr. HALLS—lndeed but they may not. Defendant—Well, your 'Worship knows what I mean. I, however, am not a gentleman, but a trades. man, and therefore as I cannot claim the satisfaction of a gentleman, I think I am justified in revenging such an insult as this in the best manner I am able. Mr. HALLS—I see you are a very intemperate young man, and I tell you that your conduct in this transaction has been most violent. Such conduct must not be endured, and you must therefore pay a fine of 405., in default of which I shall send you for one month to the House of Correction. You have seriously injured this gentleman. The defendant paid the fine, and left the office in company with his wife. Mr. Delves said he would wait immediately upon Colonel Rowan, to represent to him the conduct of the inspector in refusing to detain the defendant be cause the constable had not witnessed the assault. Last night Captain J. G. Christie was charged be fore Sir R.BIRNIE and Mr. HALLS with having com mitted a fraud upon Mr. Tarrant, of the Quadrant Hotel, Regent-street, under the following circum stances:— Mr. Tarrant having been sworn, stated that on the morning of the 26th of May, the prisoner's servant came to witness with his master's compliments, and a request that he would cash a cheque, which he brought with him, upon Messrs. Greenwood and Cox, for 101. Believing that-Captain Christie was a gentleman and a man of honour, he ( witness) took the cheque, and gave the servant ten sovereigns to give to his master. On the evening of the tame day the servant again called upon witness with a re quest from his master that the cheque would not be presented, and that he (Captain Christie) would send a printed one in lieu of it. Witness, upon this, suspecting that all was not right, sent to Messrs. Greenwood and Cox to inquire whether they had any effects to meet the cheque. The answer given was, that Captain Christ;, had had no account there from the 16th of May, 1829. Captain Christie, in answer to the charge, admit ted at once that the cheque was written by him, and that he had authorized his servant to ask Mr. Tar rant to cash it. He added that there was a disputed account between Messrs. Cox and himself, and that they owed him a balance of 701. Mr. HALLS—Whatever your dealings may have been with Messrs. Greenwood and Cox, you have no right to involve other parties in your transactions with them. It appears you have had no account with Messrs. Greenwood and Cox since May, 1829. Captain Christie—l have received many hundred pounds from them, on my father's account, since that period. Sir R. BinNIE—I have known your father, Sir Archibald Christie, these 30 years, and I am ex tremely sorry to see his son placed in such a situation. Captain Christie—l have no desire to conceal any part of the transaction, and, whether I appear here us a prisoner or not, I freely acknowledge that I sent my servant with the cheque to Mr. Tarrant, believing, however, that Messrs. Cox and Green wood had a balance of mine in their hands to meet it. Mr. HALLS—I would not advise you to try your claim in this shape, as I assure you the charge is one of a very serious nature. Sir It. BIRSIE asked Mr. Tarrant if he had known Captain Christie for any length of time previous to his having cashed the chequ e for him. Mr. Tarrant replied, that Captain Christie and two other gentlemen had dined in his house a few days before, and that was the only previous knowledge he had of him. Sir R. BIRAIE asked Mr. Thomas, the Stiperin tenden tof Police, if he knew of any other charge against the prisoner. Mr. Thomas said that Captain Christie had at tempted to practice a similar fraud upon him some short time ago. He sent him a cheque upon Messrs. Cox and Greenwood for 101., which he (Mr. Thomas) cashed, but found there were no effects. The money, however, was sent to him in the even ing, and a second application was made to him soon after, with a similar request, but he declined to accede to it. Captain Christie hoped that the Magistrates would allow him to arrange the matter with Mr. Tarrant. Sir R. BIRNIE—I am always sorry to see persons in your situation in life brought here, but I am nut the sitting Magistrate. Mr. HALLS—I have no objection, under the cir cumstances, that you should step aside and endea vour to come to an arrangement, but I do so en tirely upon this ground that the evidence is not suf ficient to detain you, as your servant is not here. I tell you plainly, however—that if I had sufficient proof of the fraudulent intent, I could not have done otherwise but commit you for trial. You had better not make these experiments again, as your having attempted them before would be suffiCient evidence of a guilty intention. The parties then retired ; but failing to come to an arrangement, Captain Christie was ordered to be detained at the police station until the claim of Mr. Tarrant should be satisfied. Captain Christie promised to pay the 'amount of the cheque in the morning ; and as a proof that he had no intention of absconding, he declared that he had just purchased the Star newspaper. Ile was, however, conveyed to the police station, in custody of Gardiner, the officer. LAMBETILSTREET. A very curious case yesterday came on for bear ing before Mr. WALKER, of which the following are the particulars : Mr. Anderton, a pawnbroker, residing in the Commercial-road, appeared to answer a summons preferred against him by a gentleman named Wood ward. A solicitor, who attended on behalf of Mr. Wood ward, stated that ILL•. Anderton was summoned in order to answer to a charge of having in his posses sion a quantity of valuable property, which had been unlawfully obtained from Mr. Woodward by a per son named Brightmore, and by him pawned at Mr. Anderton's. Mrs. Woodward stated, that in 1828 her husband became bankrupt, and, in order to save a portion of her property, she intrusted two cart-loads of it to a journeyman bricklayer named Brightmore, to convey away to a place of safety. She believed this Bright more to be an honourable young man, but she had since discovered that he had pawned it at the shop of Mr. Anderton. Mr. WALKER said the whole business was a very curious one ; the plaintiff did not come into court with clean hands, for in the first instance the pro perty was removed for the purpose of defrauding the creditors. Mr. Anderton said the whole of the parties were now living together, and it appeared very much as though there were some collusion between them to defraud him. Mr. WALKER should dismiss the summons, and further said that there was not the slightest imputa tion upon the character of Mr. Anderton, whom he knew to be a very respectable man. UNION.FIALL. • Yesterday a Mr. Gibbs, who resides at Kenning ton, applied to the sitting magistrate, Mr. SWABEY, for a summons against an individual residing in De vonshire -street, for keeping a ferocious dog. The applicant stated, that on his way home, in passing Devonshire-street, a large dog, of the New foundland species, ran out of a house at him, and attempted to seize him by the leg. With great dif ficulty, he, however, prevented the infuriated ani mal from biting him. On subsequently complaining of the gross impropriety of permitting such a dog to be at large at this season, and particularly when such accidents had recently occurred, the owner of it came out, abused the applicant instead of express ing regret at the circumstance, and actually called forth two other dogs belonging to him, and set the whole three of them on him. The applicant, find ing himself beset by three dogs, immediately called out " Murder !" when a serjeant of the police came to his assistance, and rescued him by using his truncheon. The applicant added, that he was anx ious to know whether he should be justified in de stroying the first dog that attacked him, as he had since ascertained that it was a very ferocious animal, and quite the dread of the whole neighbourhood ; he was therefore desirous of having the Magistrate's sanction before he proceeded to this extremity. Mr. SWABEY said, that although he should not go the length of giving his sanction to such a proceed ing, yet, were he to hare been attacked by a dog of the description, he should have no hesitation in de stroying it. Furlong, the police-serjeant, said, that hearing the cries of Mr. Gibbs on the occasion in question, he hastened to his assistance ; and extricated him from the peril in which he seemed to be, owing to an at tack made upon 'hint by the three dogs. The ser jeant added, that several of his men had been re cently attacked by the dogs in question, one of which had run at him, and endeavoured to bite him without provocation. When he mentioned the circumstance to the owner of the animal, and expressed his deter mination to shoot it if lie should be again attacked, the owner swore that he would shoot. him if he shot his dog. Mr. SwABEY said, that if the serjeant did shoot the dog, and that an action was brought against him for the act, under the present excited state of public feeling, there was little fear to be apprehended from the verdict of a jury under such circumstances. The Magistrate then issued a summons against-the owner of the dog. Two draymen in the employ of Messrs. Barclay and Perkins, the brewers, were fined 40s. each for riding through the streets en their horses, to the danger of the passengers. A man named Wilson was fined 101. for plying for passengers at the Elephant and Castle without a license. The evil spirit is not yet laid at Rye. An attempt was made a few days ago to destroy the Western Bridge, at that place ; but the party was prevented from accomplishing their object by the timely interference of the Blockade on that station, who discovered a quantity of matches and combustibles intended to blow up the bridge. Brighton Gazette. Eight of our mackerel boats put to sea on Tuesday evening, and returned yesterday morning, ave raging about 200 fish to each boat. They met a ready sale at about 40s. per hundred. The fish are the finest we have seen during the season.—Brighton Gazette. We are authorized to state that his Majesty's exam-packet, Echo, from Gibraltar and the Mediterra new, which arrived at Falmouth on Thursday last, brings a Bombay mail, received by the Red Sea, up to the 23(1 of March. An instance of greater speed than this has never come to our knowledge; it proves, however, that much remains to be done, since, without any regular esta blishment to communicate with onr India possessions through Egypt, so great a saving in time has been brought about. Should Government direct its attention to so de sirable an object as a well regulated means of communica tion with India by way of the Red Sea, there can be little doubt but the time occupied in the voyage will he reduced to 30 or 40 days.— Western Luminary.

On the morning of the 18th of November, at about eleven o'clock, intelligence was brought that three bullocks had been killed by a tiger near the village of Bliopawar ; two the night before, and one that morning. We immediately sent to procure correct information with regard to situation, &c. tilled early, and sallied out to a tope of trees within a mile of Major W.'s house, at the corner of which there was a patch of sugar-cane of about 70 by 50 yards, in which we were informed the tiger lay, and in fact from its situation, being bordered by nullah, and from the crowd of villagers assembled, and numerous Bheels armed with bows and arrows, many of whom were seated on the boughs of the adjoin ing trees, we little doubted that the tiger was near at hand. After the usual ceremonies of loading guns, mounting elephants, &c. we entered the k'hcte and prepared for action. Major W. and Dr. F. were on one elephant, and myself and a servant on another. Taking different sides, we moved slowly forwards for about one minute, when Major W., who has an experienced eye, saw and fired at the head of the tiger ; it afterwards proved that this ball took effect on the tip of the brute's nose, passing through the roof of the mouth, and carrying away One of the tusks of the upper jaw. After receiving the wound the tiger made a mast noble spring, his whole body absolutely floating on the air, and, had not the elephant already turned to run, he would, in all probabi lity, have been upon the howdah ; he, however, fell short, and bit the elephant severely in the hind leg. Both Major W. and Mr. F. fired, but the sudden twist that the elephant made, trumpeting from pain, and gallantly returning the charge, prevented any possibility of a certain aim ; this was but a momentary impulse of courage on the part of the elephant, for he again turned and ran, following the example of mine, which bad already left the field. After consi derable difficulty we got them to re-enter the k'hete, side by side. I had been told that tiger shooting required the " eye of a hawk and the heart of a lion," and, as this was my first essay at this noble sport, I need not attempt to de scribe my feelings, as moving steadily onwards to the spot where I had just seen a wild tiger for the first time in my life; standing up in .a howdah, with my thumb and finger ready to obey the wink of my eye, which was in vain searching for its object, my heart beating vio lently in my bosom from the most intense anxiety, created altogether a more lively though thrilling sensation than I had ever experienced, and such as I verily believe can only be felt when a man is, for the first time, in such a situation. " With beating hearts the dire event they wait, Anxious, and trembling for the birth of fate." I have been trying to describe the feelings of a minute : I had not long to meditate, the tiger sprung with a tremendous roar from under the elephant's feet ; I cocked my gun, and was in the act of presenting, when the sudden jirk of the elephant's facing about to retreat discharged it in the air. I had a second barrel, but the tiger having found his way behind the howdah sufficiently high to shake the elephant by the root of the tail, and claw him most handsomely, so frightened my servant, that he stood up, and prevented my using it. Major W. knocked him off in very good style, while the mohout's mate, who had climbed behind the elephant, was thrown off. As the tiger was otherwise engaged he escaped unhurt : both elephants were now run ning and trumpeting together, and were only brought up by a nullah. After much trouble we got them back as far as the cane, but neither coaxing nor punishment would urge them into it. They beat the ground with their trunks, kicked it about with their feet, and one of them took up a plough that was lying by, and smashed it with rage. We now sent for fireworks, and threw some dozens of them into different parts of the cane, where we thought the tiger most likely to be ; they, however, proved useless; although they set fire to the dry leaves of the sugar-cane, th e tiger would not move ; our n a tu ra l conclusion, therefore, after observing the flame pass over the whole surface, was that he..must be dead; but we wet speedily undeecivecl T , for a Ilusseldar, a Veteran oldSpbrtsmini; descried something moving in the thiekest part of the cane, and requested , permission to fire, which being granted, he let fly a random shot ; which made the tiger spring and roar, but whether he hit him or not remains doubtful. After thus trying various methods to get the tiger out, we renewed our efforts to get the elephants again into the k'hete, and after some time succeeded. I got a good shot at the tiger sitting up, in re turn for which he charged, the side of the de, pliant ; I tried the second barrel, but it missed tire. The elephant now ran under the trees, and somewhat endangered my neck amongst the branches ; the other was brought up by a large bough which had just fallen, from the weight of the numerous natives who had climbed thereon, as above stated ; after another half-hour's thrash ing and persuading, we got the elephants back to the scratch ; mine went. firbt, but he no sooner smelt or saw the tiger, than he piped off at full speed. I, however, saw him lying full stretch upon his side, and called out " He's dead at the same time kneeling back on the seat, I fired, and, perhaps, brought him to life again, for he charged the other elephant, which was close behind, when Mr. F. lent him a shot that sent him to the place from whence he came. This latter elephant would not enter the field after this ; I got mine to run through three times, gaining a foot or two nearer where the tiger lay at each time : on the fourth attempt he pounced directly upon the tiger, which now charged in a more determined manner than ever, first at the elephant's side, and then passing forward, sprung upon her head. Here a better man than, my self might have finished the .business; but I found it impossible ; the elephant twirled, round with such velocity, that my gun was again dis charged in the air ; the tiger now held the ele phant for some seconds by the ear, when I held fast by one hand, and with the other placed the muzzle of the gun close to his head. The piece again missed fire, and before I could snatch up another both animals were off. I had sadly feared the mohout would have been pulled down; as it was, his leg was severely bitten, and the elephant's ear much torn. Nothing would now stop my elephant, she ran through the tope, and brought me in contact with a branch, which for tunately breaking in my hand, did no injury ; she, however, halted for an instant on the bank of the river, when I dismounted with my gips, and the elephant, crossing the water, ran I returned on foot to the seene or. action, arid found the tiger had shown himself - some yards out of the k'hete, but ran back before my friends could get a shot. He was observed to be much burned and bloody. It now became too dark for any further proceedings, and we, returned . home much disappointed that we had not been able to finish our day's work with better success. On the following morning we found our friend in the old place, and, of course, renewed the attack, but could not get the elephants to assist us. We adopted a method occasionally adopted in dog-hunting—viz., drew a rope over the cane, which soon disturbed the tiger ; but, though he roared, he would not show himself, excepting for an instant. After several repeti tions of this dragging system, he was dislodged at the opposite side from where we expected him. The Russeldar to whom I have alluded as a veteran sportsman happened to be.within a few yards of where he made his exit, and put a ball cleverly behind the. shoulder... This drove him back into the sugar-cane, where he fell mortally wounded. The same man fired at him again, and, finding he did not move, went and dragged hint out. As I have attempted to be sOineWhat.Minnie in this detail, I should hardly be justified .in omitting to describe to you a mM:cleficied,proof of presence of mind, .coiplesliv4o4.,usiSlin i nted courage, than is usually to be met With : tire. A Nail) Russeldar ;of tll.rigimpOt. (014 had amongst others, frequently 'bien Warned to keep out of danger) followed the elephants upon the first attack into the field ; and upon their running, when the tiger charged, he determined to do otherwise.. The tiger flew at his horse and pulled him down, when the little fellow, being dismounted, bravely drew his sword with the greatest coolness imaginable,. and prepared to do his best. This may be considered merely an act of self-defence ; it was not altogether so, for although his horse had left the ; field dread-. fully lacerated, the man was actually, searching for the tiger until called off by his commanding officer, who happened to look back and observe his situation. He escaped in thisinstance unhurt ; but on the following morning he was less fortu nate, for being mounted on a more timid horse the animal reared and fell back upon his rider, who I am sorry to say, was considerably hurt. On the tiger being conveyed to Major W.'s house, and examined, it was discovered that he had received seven shots on the previous evening, which were now extracted, four of them being two-ounce rifle balls ; some,,otlier speller, ones had passed . ,throkigh Jas . . bqdT, 4nst ,the . finishing shot of .the perfOrated his heart.

The following disgraceful occurrence and breach of the public peace took place yesterday evening, under circumstances which must attach blame to some of the officers of the new police, who, it will be manifest, were neglecting their duties at the time. An Irishman, in a state of intoxication, caine reeking hot out of some ale house, and was proceeding along Saffron-hill, hallooing end menacing every individual. man, woman, and child, that came in his way. All fled with precipitation and terror from before his face, but he was followed by some hundreds, who felt enjoyment is keeping alive his anger by incessant provocations. To such a pitch was the vio knee of his passion excited, that meeting a horse, he stood before the animal in a fighting attitude, and inflicted seve ral blows on his face and head, till he reared and plunged in such a manner as to threaten the most anions cones. quences. Next, in his wild career, be upset a Ismae l - of fruit-stalls, &c., and then challenged the owners and all who might be of their party to fight him for the damage.

At this motneit Mr. Dixie, landlord of the One Tun, oa Saffron hill, being a constable, interfered, and with a great deal of difficult) , and risk at length succeeded in soothing the fury of the man, and prevailed on him to go home. :•hortly after the man issued into the street again, threw off his clothes, and, in a state of nudity, proceeded as he had done before through Charles-street, Bleeding-heart-yard, Union-court, and as far as Hatton-garden. lie came in conflict with some foreigners, one of whoa) drew a knife upon him and cut him desperately across his forehead. This accident at last cooled him, and be Was quietly cenveyeel home. Nearly ready, in Three Vols. post Bvo. T E DENOUNCED.
