With out presenting any very brilliant sport, the Ness has con ' 'tinned to afford good amusement to the angler. On the Oich, Captain Coddrington enjoyed some very fine sport till the dry weather reduced the stream too low. He had, how ever, killed ab ou t f or ty clean s a l mon ; and has p rocee d e d i nto Sutlaerlandshire to try a line on the streams there. On the same river (Oich) the Hon. Dudley Ward and party killed about sixty clean salmon. The Lochy, exclusively held for rod-fishing, and leased for four years by Lord Canning, is in splendid trim, and this is its season. Lord Clanwilliam arrived there on Friday, and has taken up his quarters at Banavie. His Lordship went out next day and killed five excellent salmon —one weighing no lees than 23ilbs.—the others averaging 131bs. each, and the whole collectively weighing ! This was a fair day's work. with the snow thick on Ben-Nevis not two miles distant. His Lordship did not raise a fish which he did not kill. We are happy to ob serve that the Messrs. Hogarth now reserve the Spey, from Boat of Bridge to the sea, for anglers only. The preservation of rivers, and especially river mouths, frorri netsis the only way by which the salmon-fishings of this country can be long preserved.-Inrerness Courier. HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE.

Any occurrence so serious as the abrupt reeal of the French Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, must naturally give rise to all kinds of sinister re ports and to all sorts of dark and melancholy conjec tures. It is more than ever expedient, however, under such circumstances, that no precipitate opinion should be formed upon a matter involving the in terests of two great countries, and the general peace of Christendom. At all times it is manifestly ad visable for the multitude to reserve their judgment upon whatever international differences may arise through diplomatic correspondence, and this because of the secrecy in which such correspondence must necessarily be, more or less, involved, and because consequently, until the publication of all the documents out of which the misunderstanding has originated, the people are obviously incompetent to arrive at any judicious or definitive conclusion. But especially is the postponement of public opinion, until such revelations have been made, advisable, when the evidences of annoyance on the part of any foreign power are displayed with an unusual degree of suddenness. Now such is precisely the position of affairs between the British Government and the French Government under exist ing circumstances. M. DEOUYN DE L'HUYS has been abruptly recalled by the Republican autho rity of which he was the delegated representative in the English capital. His recall, moreover, has been accompanied by such exceedingly partial disclosures of the correspondence which had taken place previ ously to this new rupture of the entente cordiale be tween the powers at Paris and London, as to impress upon us more than ever the necessity for that caution which common prudence assures us to be at this mo ment peculiarly requisite. Every individual has turned of course a close and scrutinizing attention to the events which, we may say within the last few hours, have recently transpired. All have acquainted themselves with occurrences by which the friendly alliance of France and England appears to be in a great measure jeopardized. To evince any apathy in proceedings which threaten to disturb the amicable relations hitherto maintained by this country with the powers of the European continent would be virtu ally to acknowledge an indifference to the interests of fatherland, to the cause of humanity, and to the peaceful advance of civilization. Such an in difference as this, an indifference in the highest degree culpable, we do not believe to exist in any one section of the community, even among the most das tardly and insignificant. Hence we are persuaded, as already remarked, that the political incidents which have recently been observed in the British as well as in the French metropolis are uni; vernally known by this time throughout our intelligent population. Every one is aware that after the most patient and protracted delays, England within the last few months intimated 'to the Athenian Cabinet her determination to see certain claims of hers attended to, which heretofore had been evaded by Greece with the most impertinent display of procrastination. Every one knows the result of that communication—a result which only manifested itself in the submission of OTHO and his Minis terial advisers after a series of duplicities, con tradictions, and tergiversations which it ac tually required the awe of our naval supremacy to dissipate. Almost simultaneously with the receipt of the intelligence that the quarrel between Greece and England had been satisfactorily termi nated, arrives the information that a quarrel still more serious has, out of the very fact of that recon ciliation, sprung up between the French and the British Governments. M. DROUYN DE L'HUYS, the Ambassador, is recalled to Paris, from his, diplomatic post at London. General LAHITTE, -the Minister of War, announces the fact of his recall from the tri bune of the Legislative Assembly. The announcement is• received with a storm of - acclamations "from the so-called Republican representatives. Meanwhile inquiries as• to the exact position of affairs are put to the Ministers of the Crown in England. Parliament listens with suspended breath and eager curiosity as the Lord President of the Council is catechised in the House of Peers, or again, as the First Lord of the Treasury is required in the Commons to give some sort of explanation, in the absence of his illus trious . colleague her MAJESTY'S Foreign . Secre tary.' Mere shreds and patches of information' are torn, ,bit by, bit, from the Administrators and diplomatists, and thereupon, of course, the very most is made of these fragmentary intimations and acknow ledgements. The gobemouches of the two great ca pitals:are yet gloating over such unexpected tidbits in the way of political gossip, when the more dictato rial quidnuncs are already rushing to a conclusion as to the merits of the respective . powers, and already pronouncing most authoritatively their, applause of the one, and their • peremptory condemnation of the other. After this, it is, of coUrse, scarcely necessary to observe that these Quixotic pronuncia mentos consist of the most inflated panegyrics upon the course pursued by the reactionary 'Cabinet at Paris, and of the most rancourous vituperations upon the policy of one of the greatest statesmen in Europe, her MAJESTY'S Foreign Secretary, Viscount PAL, IKERSTON. ereecoPellltiiaawye,beara well Against these perverse and, precipitate expres s sions of opinion we protest with all our earnestness. "At least," we would say' to these miserable apologists of reaction, " evince some decency in the delay of these paltry accusations and most wretched encomiums—encomiums upon a race of men whose congenial meanness of temperament inspires you,with a :responsive sympathy—accusations against a states man whose innate nobility of disposition and generosity of principle elevate him immeasurably above the reach of your comprehension." Until such time as the doou mente constituting the correspondence between the French and British Goverments shill beformallymade public, it must remain imposSible for the masses to form tn any accurate opinion as to the origin of the understanding which has betrayed itself in the atiinpf recall of the French Ambassador. . That the Publication a this correspondence will lead to the exculpation of Lord PA LIABRSTON, and to the dis c34otzfintvrtibrelleof his assailants, significant f i a t C i t i s ay in b e fully satisfied. dieot to bear one or two very to remember that a ru eteti°n. it may be as well ' alliance with ' Russia would- b :ith England and an political intriguers in, France rat welcome to the to restore the ancient monarch' w ho are now plotting the Bourbons to the throne y y conducting back across the Planch N pole onnienne. It may be as well to remember e a reactionaries have gradually. insinuated that these into the councils of the French PRESIONPITtheraSeIVes ' t o : ar7m. that they have gradually monopolized the • Legislative Assembly. , majorit y a the her that, according to the reactionist Journals of Paris and of London, the announcement of the rup. ture with this country was received with shouts of delight in the Assembly by "all but the Mountain." And it may be just as well to remember, that among those who are thus designated the " Mountain" are' visible such men as General CAVAIGNAC and his associates ! Let us whisper a hint or two to the reflective':—The continuance of amicable rela tions with England, necessitating, as it does, the continuance of estrangement from Russia, is just now inconvenient to the French reactionary gentlemen ! These same intriguers owe a bitter grudge to Lord PALMERSTON, because on the occasion of the last re volution be did not emulate the infamous Policy of his ' predecessors, _by interfering with the move• meats of a free people in the selection of t h eir form of government, but stood serenely THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, aloof, and by the contagion of his example compelled the other powers of the earth to display a similar magnanimity. Hence the last trick of the Royalist Reactionaries. Hence that recall of the French Ambassador, which has involved the Prince Louis NAPOLEON for the moment in a most perillous deception, and which has also provoked anew the hatred of a miserable faction against Viscount PALMERSTON. The Bill for the abolition of the Lord-Lieutenancy of Ireland, and the establishment of a fourth Secre taryship of State, has at length been brought for ward. Never were there more satisfactory reasons for any great change than those adduced by the Premier in the course of his very able and convinc ing speech. He clearly and distinctly explained the evils inseparable from the present system, and showed that the alteration was essential not only to the efficient administration of affairs, and good govern ment of Ireland, but also to the welfare and prosperity of the United Kingdom. The mischiefs arising from a divided administration are, indeed, so obvious to any unprejudiced observer, that the only wonder is that a matter which has been in contemplation for many years should have been so long postponed. It was seriously considered at the time of the Union, and although certain circumstances induced the then KING to throw his personal weight into the scale, and to recommend the continuance of the office, his MAJESTY at the same time expressed his opinion that it should, at some future period, be abolished. GEORGE the THIRD desired that it should be filled with a person who should clearly understand that the Union had closed the reign of "Irish jobs," and that the civil patronage might be open to his recommendation, but should be entirely decided in England. Bat how was that wish carried out ? It is, unfortunately, but too notorious that the most flagrant corruption and jobbery prevailed in the purlieus of the Castle. Party feeling was encouraged;. hatred and animosity was excited among those of different creeds, agitation became a regular occupation—and why ? Be- cause the violent partizan alone could hope to secure the loaves and fishes for himself and his immediate followers. Place-hunting was the general pursuit, which was carried on with a degree of zeal and energy worthy of a better cause. The Viceroy could not venture to act with fairness and impartiality. He was obliged to rule " through a party and for a party.", He thus secured the good will and support of at least a section of the community, which he could only retain by shutting his eyes to the abuses by which he was surrounded. He was then lauded as a demi-god, or reviled as a de mon incarnate, according to the feelings and prepossessions of those by whom his conduct was canvassed. If for a moment he endeavoured to hold the reins of power with an equal and indifferent hand, to administer justice to all without distinction, former opponents for once became united, and relin- quished their own dissensions in order to overwhelm the erring Viceroy, who had the folly to suppose that he could hold himself aloof from petty intrigues or sectarian disputes. Witness the treatment of Lord WELLESLEY, who first refused to worship the Orange faction, or to bow down before the idol of " Protestant ascendancy in Church and State." Consider the insults to which Lord ANGLESEY, once " the beloved," but subsequently the " Algerine," was exposed. Look, again, to the virulent abuse lavished on his successors—on HADDINGTON, " the partizan"—on NORMANDY, the " gaol deliverer"— on Da GREY and HEYTESBURY—even on BES 110• ROUGH, the Irish Lord-Lieutenant—and even on CLARENDON, whose dignified impartiality, and mild and conciliating, but firm and vigorous administration, cast a halo round the office that will long be re membered. liven before the distinguished nobleman last referred to was appointed, the abolition of the office had been definitively arranged. He was distinctly informed that such a measure was decided on; and that all that remained for con sideration was the most fitting opportunity for carrying the Ministerial intentions into execution. The unfortunate condition of the country, the distress and destitution that prevailed on every' side, the pes tilence and famine under which the great majority of the people were suffering, and the political excite ment that led even to an outbreak, which was, how- ever, promptly suppressed without bloodshed in the field or on the scaffold, retarded the matter; but the period has at length arrived, and we may now look for ward to seeing Ireland an integral portion of the British empire, and her children entitled to all the rights and privileges belonging to their E nglish fel low-subjects. We have already fully pointed out that the increased facilities of travelling by land and by water, and the certainty and speed with which intelligence can be communicated between England and Ireland, have removed every pretext for the con- tinuance of the office. In point of time and distance, Ireland is now actually nearer than al most any part .of Scotland;. nay, it is closer than. Devonshire or Yorkshire was thirty years since. The journey from London to Dublin, or ' vice versa, may be performed with ease , in twelve hours. In cases of urgency, a communication may be received by means of the electric telegraph in four hours, and full instructions returned with equal speed. What reason can there be, then, for maintaining an office which could only be required under totally diffe rent circumstances—the relic of bygone ages ? One intimation that fell from Lord dolor Mil. SELL should render even the Dublin shopkeepers de lighted with the change. They are, it appears, to have the substance in place of the shadow, the reality in place of the phantom. He stated that, " without being able to name any particular times at which her MAJESTY would visit Ireland, it is her gracious intention, from time to time, to pay a visit to Ireland, and to have the residence in the Phcenix-park main tained for her own use." This is as it should be ; it will str.engthen the feelings of affectionate regard and devoted loyalty that should ever be maintained be tween the MONARCH and her people. It will indeed be far more than a recompense for the annihilation of the " mock court," for the loss of which the Dublin tradesmen are now indignant.' THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. It is said by the Legitimatist Union, that Gene ral' LAHITTE, recalled the French Ambassador from London without consulting the PRESIDENT of the Republic, who, on being informed, on his return from Fontainbleau, of what had taken place, ex pressed himself as dissatisfied and vexed. General LAHITTE is a Legitimatist, and in this instance he has betrayed the Pauli:mu; in order to forward his Legitimatist views. . A messenger was dispatched to St. Petersburg') yesterday, and orders were sent . to the dockyards to fit out several ships of war and ,to make extraordi nary levies of seamen. General CA.YAIGNAC and hi s f r i ends opposed the motion- far printing the papers on the Greek question. They are opposed to the rupture of the English alliance as are all the friend s o f lib erty in France. The National says, that all the pretended suscepti bility of , General LAHITTE and the reactionaries on this subject is " got up" to cover an intrigue having i n view two objects. First, to enable the Orleans ty to gratify Whig Ministry t par their revenge on Lord PALMERSTON 9 and,sitfry in poss E ib n le g , la to ndra b n st d i , tu se te co a nd T ly or , Tory break for u a alliance between France and the only consti tutional country in Europe, in order t o force Courts hero Russi a, a an and alliancethus t o between the French Republic and the Monarchi es of the' Continent. This is the true object of what th e National calls " th e come dy o f h onour ," th e p ro l ogue withestab establish a of which was performed in the National Assembly on Thursday. The speech of . General •LAIIITTB does not ap pear in the Moniteur of yesterday, and it was said it had been suppressed by order of the PRESI DENT of the Republic. General LAHITTE yesterday said in the Assembly that its suppression was a mistake, but that it should appear in a sup plement. All the English in Paris have refused the invi tations which they had received to attend the parties at the Elysee. The Presse, after having stated that but for Eng land there would have been an immediate invasion of France by ,the Absolutist Powers in 1848, thus proceeds to bear testimony to the good faith which England has ever since observed. It says " From that • time, whether with regard to Italy or the afLirs of Germany, the English Cabinet never gav e us a single cause of complaint. On the contrary, it showed itself fall of benevolence and good faith towards the new Republic. It sought to simplify difficulties standing in our way, instead of aggravating them ; it became our solid and permanent point d'appui in all rea sonable transactions." The Presse concludes as follows : " Beneath this affair there is one of greater moment, nothing less, in fact, than a new state of things, which the want of foresight of our Cabinet, and the perfidy of its anonymous advisers prepare for France—and what state of affairs ! Under the monarchy France might at her will adopt either the Russian or the English alliance. From the option between these two alliances proceeds all her political conduct in Europe, and particularly in the East. On the day after democracy had consti tuted its Government, Russian alliance, which is essen tially anti-democratic, became an impossibility for our country. Good relations with England, which is power fully constitutional and liberal, are, therefore, the conse quence of a democratic constitution in France. It is by this federation, written or not written, of the two great liberal powers, England and France, adding to it Spain, a part of Italy, and constitutional Germany, that Europe can alone be guaranteed against the exorbitant weight of the Russian empire, leaning incessantly against the liberty of the continent. It is also by this system that the liberty of the Mediterranean for our commerce and for our exports;—that the security of Algeria fur the increase of our colony, which is now more necessary than ever, and that the inviolability and the integrity of the Ottoman empire, that formidable rampart against Russia, may be secured to us. It must be admitted that this instinct of things was admirably understood by the English Cabinet at the advent of the Republic. The writer of these lines himself saw, a few hours after the 24th of February, in the Cabinet of the French Foreign-office, a letter from Lord Wellington in reply to a verbal overture of M. de Lamartine, giving a certainty thilt England would understand the new state of the world. The coincidence of the ex plosion of the revolution, with the existence of the Whig Cabinet of Lord Palmerston, was a piece of good fortune for the revolution of February, and for the necessary maintainance of the peace of Europe. If there had been at that time an illiberal, anti-democratic, anti-French cabinet in London, imbued with the maxims of Burke and the traditions of a Pitt, a monarchical coalition would have immediately taken place against France. An opportunity has long been sought to over throw this liberal :ministry. It is thought that one has at last arrived in this miserable Greek affair, all the interest of whieh does not go beyond an account of some thousands of drachms, to be settled between the treasury of Athens and the English proteges. How new is this susceptibility! We showed no anger when Russia marched 80,000 men into Hun gary; when Austria sent 120,000 men into the plains of Lombardy; when Venice fell, after a heroic resistance; we accepted and submitted to all; and now we break up the equilibrium of the world for 60,000 drachms of dif ference in the addition which an English Vice Consul makes for the damage caused him by the demolition of his furniture and the pillage of his house. And it is to this that we would sacrifice the peace of Europe, manu factures which begin to acquire activity, commerce and labour which revive, our exports, our ports, our nary, and in fine, our only natural alliance in the world." The Presse was once the organ of the party which advocated the Russian alliance, acknowledging which it now says— The revolution and the Republic of February have displaced the pivot of our alliances, transporting it logi cally from St. Petersbargh to London." The Credit says— "lt is perhaps hoped to revive by the aid of a little charivarism, a popularity which has been so deplorably compromised in the domestic affairs of the country. The Government, we hope, will not be long in seeing from certain signs that France is no longer disposed to sacrifice her liberties to some tinsels of glory; that she has no greater inclination to fight with England than to submit to the patronage of Russia; and that if onr Marlboroughs wish to go to war to fetch up their af fairs, th e y will not form their cortege with the children who are now devoted to works of peace, nor a tittle of their republican institutions." It is said that the PRESIDENT of the Republic is deeply offended with his Ministers for having pre sumed to recall the Ambassador from England with out consulting him on the subject, and that there will probably be era long a change of Ministry The probability of the passing of the new Electoral Law is becoming less and less every day. Upwards of sixty petitions, all most numerously signed, were presented against it yesterday. The petition against it at the office of the Presse received 10,000 signa tures against it in the course of a few hours. M. Leort FOUCHER did not yesterday present the report on the law as had been expected. PARIS BOURSE, FRIDAY, MAY 17.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES COPENHAGEN, MAY 13.—The Berlinger Zeitung says :—" His MAJESTY yesterday, thejoth, received the Prussian General Vox BuLow. There were present at this audience the Prussian ambassador, the Danish premier, the ministers, and chief officers of state, who had all the honour of dining with bi 3 MAJESTY. There is no doubt," continues that jour nal, "that the mission of the General is connected with negotiations for peace." The Borsenhalle, however, of the 14th, says "How far the negotiations are from :— being likely to lead to a favourable result is evident from the facts that General Bulow intends to quit the capital to morrow; that all persons on furlough in the army were yesterday desired to return immediately; and that nearly all the frigates and smaller ships of the line, as well as a man-of-war, have been equipped." HAmEtraan, MAY 14.—The British Ambassador, Sir H. WYNN, who has been in England for some weeks on leave of absence, passed through the city yesterday, en route, for Copenhagen.—Hamburgh Borsenhalle, May 14. THE CHORAL FUND SOCIETY.--A.MODg the va rious charitable societies in the metropolis, there is no one which has stronger claims than the " Choral Fund," which has for its object the relief of the afflicted and distressed members of chorusses, their widows, and orphans. Last evening a grand entertainment :took place at Exeter Hall for the benefit of this society, assisted by the members of the " Choral Fund" and the " Lon don Sacred Harmonic Society." Haydn's oratorio The Seasons was gi ven on the occasion, the vocal solos and concerted pieces by Miss Birch, Mr. Lockey, and Mr. Phillips, and the chorusses by the members of the two societies above mentioned. The oratorio was given through. out in excellent style. Among the best pieces were the " Hunting Chorus," " Hark ! the merry ton ed h o r n , " which was encored;. and Miss Birch's air (with chorus), " There was a Squire." M. Benedict was the conductor. THE WEATHER.—A considerable quantity of rain fell in the latter part of the week, and since then, though the days have been line, there has been an unusual quantity of air, i frost in the with easterly winds. A change is earnestly and anxiously looked for. An extensive circuit made in the south last week - over Perth, Stirling, the Lothians, Lanark, Renfrew, and Argyllshires—enables us to state that the aspect of the fields in this neighbourhood is not a whit behind the usually mor e f avoure d so uth. In Perth and Stirling espe cially the progress of th e winter wheat has not been very satisfactory, and in the Curse of Stirling i t s a ppearance is far from promising.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet. Sales about 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken for exportation.—Railway Shares were dull with a further decline in prices. The increased abundance of money has operated again upon the Bank of England circulation. Last week it was further curtailed. The discounts or advances appear likewise to have been reduced in amount, but we are glad to see the private deposits drawn upon, and trust it is in consequence of fuller employment being found for them in trading pursuits.

The exports of the precious metals from London during. the week to:Thursday last:included 12,350 ounces in gold coin to Belgium, and 500 ounces to Hambro', 213 ounces in gold dust to Belgium, and 1,500 ounces in gold bars to Dunkirk. Of silver bars the exports were 25,000 ounces. The letters received this morning from Lancashire state that trade was dull in manufactures, but in York shire a steady business is doing. The English Stock Market has been firmer on the whole, and there have been a few money purchases. The private accounts from Paris state that the object of the Government, in appearing resentful against England, was to divert attention from home affairs. This, how ever, is precisely what every reflecting man here pretty well understood. Consols have been 95k to 951, and are now 951 i.

A middle-aged man, named Willis, was charged with creating a disturbance in his brother's shop. The brother was Mr. Willis, the bookseller of Charing cross and the Piazza, Covent-garden. Yesterday after noon the prisoner went to the shop, and demanded to see his brother. He was told that his brother was not within, and thereupon he commenced abusing the fore man in a very disgusting manner, greatly to the annoy ance of several customers who happened to be present. This was by no means the first time that he had been guilty of this offence, and he was, therefore, given into custody. _ _ _ Mr. HENnY fined him 405., or a fortnight's imprison ment. Emma Greene, a youthful and pretty-looking prosti tute, was charged with stealing a purse containing three half-crowns. Mr. Daniel Cornish, who described himself as a writer for the public press, and the co-editor of a reli gious paper, the name of which he did not think it pru dent to mention, stated that last night he went to the Adelphi Theatre, and at the close of the performances, not having ever attended such a place before, he suddenly felt an inclination to Bee what was going on in the Cyder Cellars. He accordingly went there and had some sup per. He loft about two o'clock, when he had a sove reign and nine half-crowns in his purse, and on emerg ing from the tavern he encountered the prisoner, who took his fancy, and he invited her to go with him. She of course readily consented, and be gave her 55.. to secure a lodging for the rest of the night; but on the way to a public-house where he intended to treat her be dis covered that she was very drunk, and he therefore insisted upon her swallowing a glass of lemonade. When the time came for him to pay for what they had had, he discovered that his purse was gone, and suspecting that his companion had stolen it, be handed her over to the care of a policeman, when his suspicions were confirmed by the missing property being found upon her. Mr. HENRY asked him if he was drunk himself ? The prosecutor said he certainly was not, though he had taken two stiff glasses of gin and water, but it was his custom of an evening to take double that quantity. Mr. HENRY said it was clear to him that if he sent the case for trial the jury would acquit the prisoner on the ground that at the time she stole the purse she was too drunk to know what she was about. The prosecutor said if he was certain the robbery was the result of depraved habits which the prisoner had acquired by her course of life, he would certainly take a good deal of trouble to prosecute her. Mr. HENRY told him that the matter rested with him self, but he did not think a jury would convict on the evidence, seeing that upon the prosecutor's own showing the prisoner was insensibly drunk. The prosecutor said, under those circumstances he should decline to proceed further with the case. The prisoner, who said she had an indistinct recol lection of being at a house in Exeter-street, where he gave her the purse, was therefore discharged. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) A young man, dressed in the garb of a labourer, named Jackson, was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with using abusive and violent language, and assaulting a policeman. It appeared that about two o'clock this morning he was found in the neighbourhood of the Mother Red Cap, Camden-town, leaning against some railings in a state of the soundest sleep, with a fine tabby cat reclining on his neck, which, with the usual inclination of its species to warmth, had selected that spot for indulging in a quiet and agreeable nap, but, notwithstanding tho awkwardness of the position, his somnolency was so overpowering as to make any place comfortable, and the warmth of miss pussy's fur round the exposed part of the neck, was anything but disagreeable. But the felicity of the modern Whittington and his cat was doomed to be short-lived, for a meddlesome policeman chanced to come by, and hearing the snoring of the one, and the purring of the other, ho could not allow so much en joyment, while he was obliged to wander listlessly about the dull and dreary streets, and he kindly intimated his wish that they should " move on." Poor tabby was soon aroused, but being by no means pleased, she raiied up her back in a way peculiar to the feline race, and spat fire at the disturber of her rest. The other, how ever, was less easily awoke from his slumber, and when at last made conscious of the presence of the watchful guardian of the public peace, he growled forth his dis like; but, after some remonstrance, consented to go home. However, the an no y ance o f being deprived of a refreshing sleep in such an inclement night, together with the loss of his cat, who, thinking discretion the bet ter part of valour, had taken to the tiles of an adjoining building, aggravated a temper which was in no plensant mood, the defendant turned back, accosted the police man, and inflicted upon him aeveral severe blows and kicks, the effects of which had made his body sore all over. With the assistanee of another constable he was taken into custody, and on the way to the station-house succeeded two or three times in tripping them both up. The defendant, in answer to the charge, said he had beer, out of employment for several months, and as he was going home last night a friend met him and gave him half a pint of ale, which had gone to his head, and made him quite insensible. He supposed he had fallen asleep by the railings, and the cat had taken a fancy to him—(A laugh.) The defendant denied having as saulted the policeman. Mr. TYRWUITT said the assault was clearly proved, and he should order him to pay a fine of 103., or in de fault be imprisoned for a fortnight. The defendant not being able to pay the fine was then locked up. CREI%IORNE GARDENS. , A splendid dinner in celebration of the opening of these delightful gardens was given yesterday evening in the Grand Banquetting Hall, by the enterprising director, Mr. T. B. Simpson, who afforded on this occasion an admirable foretaste of the excellence which under such a well-known and accomplished caterer will undoubtedly characterise the dining and general department throughout the ensuing season. Covers were laid for 300 guests, and there was a profusion of the choicest viands, with cataracts of champagne. After the usual loyal toasts were drunk, the health of Mr. Simpson was hailed with enthu siastic cheers, and eloquently responded to by that excellent gentleman in feeling and energetic lan guage. Indeed, the management of this most de servedly popular place of recreation and harmless gaiety, the attractions of which will be found to be considerably increased this summer, could not possibly have fallen into more zealous or efficient hands than those of the host of the Albion. Ihe chairman, Mr. Smith, likewise took occasion to pay some very felicitous compliments to the licensing magistrates, and to the members of the Fourth Estate. Some glees, magnificently sung by that favourite leader of harmony, Mr. J. Green, and his talented troupe, Mr. S. Jones, the Musters Wall, &c., a n d a couple of ci,mic songs, interspersed with most crimi nal conundrums, by Mr. Sharpe, contributed greatly to the festivity of the banquet, " And all went merry - as A marriage bell."
