HowINDUSTRY, few of the visitorsotd heads and limbs have ached to the Great Industrial Exhibition will consider how many hearts and produce the mineral, mechanical, a besides artistical wonders that now those triumphs of mankind, grace the Crystal Palace; and, bow many thousands of men, equ a ll y falled to complete the from as many different causes, altogether failed of success, have, been expended for and a ted ! The Crystal works upon which their whole haveenergiesexh months perhaps their whole means es s.res and anxieties Palace contains the result of immense talent and commerce. wonders there accumulated are also the results of iesson ? Art, cares but the and gentry would , unparalleled in the history of art, manufactur te fostering Ought it not to teach our wealthy classes an hnee r t an science, and manufactures, unpatronised and unprotected, progress but slowly, if at all ; but when the nobility at one view the wonders that can be achieved under the gentry see ' care of those who can afford it, there is some hope that tion to encourage the ingenuity and perseverance of wiankindi;Pest be universally promoted by this gigantic example of what can ma , y achieved. He who patronises industry is a public benefactor. -- s,. was this consideration that induced Messrs. E. MOSES and SO N t a; enter at once upon a system which enabled them to employ hun dreds of excellent industrious workmen where others would only employ tens. Is must be obvious to all reasoning men that under the old system of large profits he who looks only to himself might clear as mach out of ten men's labour as Messrs. E. MOSES and SON can, with their limited profits, out of the labour of a hundred. But they have the satisfaction to e know that the more capital they can use, fled the less profit they xact, the more they can patronise the industry of the country, by finding men constant work and instant Payment for their labour, while by these means they produce an article at nearly half the usual, and far better at that price, than has ever been produced before. But the consequence of employing a large capital and numbers of people does not end in the mere fact of low prices ; for these very low prices for good clothing enable thou sands to dress respectably who could not do so were the old prices prevailing. Until Messrs. E. MOSES and SON established their system of trading it was impossible is obtain good cheap clothing ; now the poorest of the labouring classes can dress in strong and good clothing accordinz to their circumstances. All classes can dress f well—all classes ought to dress well. It is worth the conside ration o the wealthy, whether they ought not to save half the cost of their own dress and their servants' livery, if it were only for the oppor tunity of .dispensing the amount in benevolence. Messrs. E. MOSES and SON invite all classes to see their enormous STOCK of DRESS, appropriate for everybody. Buy or not buy, no matter, when they have seen they will believe in the beauty and extent of a stack and an establishment to which it is difficult, if not impossible, to do justice by description.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0001. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office are —Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap ?roached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equ itabl y payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful inati n combtio of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to titre, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation willPre made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fitly ent. of the nett excess will he made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 35 . per cent, without the Average Clause.

The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England, and but two iu Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 280/.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1849, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 I'elicies, amounting to 52,963/. 2s. 6d.: of these 121, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. itiateen Policies lapsed, representing 6,048/., upon which 3201. 3s, was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 11s. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of Juno last equal to 2,9911. 15s. I Id. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1831. I Is. 10i. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Evoque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES. Folmar; Woot, MAY 16.—Only a limited business has been done in this market during the past week. Another series of the London colonial wool sales commenced last even ing, the attendance of buyers was good, and prices, we understand, ranged fully as high as the average rates of Feb ruary Wool, LEEDS, MAY 16.—Sales of combing ENGLISH .I wools continue to be made to a moderate extent, to supply the immediate requirements of the manufacturers. Prices are firm and stationary. In clothing wools we do not report any change during the week. LivEaroor. WOOL, MAY 15.—For some kinds of wool there is a little more inquiry, but on the whole the market is dull. Prices unaltered.. Imports of the past week are : West India, 1 bale ; Peru, 2,733 do. ; Buenos Ayres, 540 do. ; Leghorn, 31 do. AritArtr. or LE/Enc.—We, have hid better markets both on Saturday and Tuesday than has been the case for many weeks past. Goods suitable to the season for the home demand were sold at the cloth-halls pretty freely on both days, and a full average quantity of goods both for the home and foreign trade has been delivered during the week. Prices are steady, and the stocks low. There has also been a better trade done in the warehouses this week than for many weeks past. BRADFORD, May 15.—Wool—the prevailing dullness still continues, and purchases made are chiefly to supply immediate requirements. Stocks in the staplers' hands are far from large; nor is the quantity coming to hand an average of former years. Prices are very firm. In alpaca and mohair wools there is an animated demand, with scarcely any supply in the market. Prices may be quoted ld to 2d per lb higher since last market day. Yarns—There is a considerable quantity of yarns going into consumption, and were the export houses doing their usual business, yarns would immediately have an upward tendency, which cannot now be longer delayed. Pieces —The demand for goods to-day appears more animated, and we believe the transactions are upon a broader scale than for same weeks past, but we fear without any improvement i n cottonby the in prices.

In some descriptions of shirtiugs of India qualities, rather large purchases were made from this cause, and also in made pollams. Counts of yarn in which stocks were bare also sold well for the same reasons, bat there is in reality not the slightest improvement as regards confidence in the present prices of cotton, and spinners ad. manufacturers generally have had a dull and languid market. jury he had received, however, the constable kept hold of the prisoner, and eventually succeeded in lodging him in the station-house. Several respectable witnesses were called by the pri soner to speak to his character, and they all spoke of him as an honest, hardworking, and humane lad. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Baron ALDERSON. in passing sentence, said this was another instance of the policeman being brutally as saulted while in the performance of his duty, and the Court had hesitated for a long time whether it ought not to sentence the prisoner to transportation. Nothing but his good character had saved him from a sentence of that description, but he must still expect to undergo severe punishment. He then sentenced him to be kept to hard labour for a year. NEW COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) John Frederick Still, 34, clerk, was indicted for em bezzling the sums of 41. 65., 11., and 11., the property of the Imperial Gas Light and Coke Company, his masters. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. BODKIN, who appeared for the company, said they wished to recommend the prisoner to mercy, as they be lieved the company the prisoner had fallen into had led him into this offence. He was sentenced to six months' imprionment and hard labour. William Edward Webster, who yesterday pleaded guilty to embezzling several sums of money from his master, Mr. E. Cardwell, M.P., was brought up for sentence. The RECORDER, in passing sentence, said that the pri soner had very properly pleaded guilty to the offence of embezzling sums entrusted to him by his master. He had, however, been recommended to mercy; in con sequence of that the term of imprisonment to which he should sentence him would be short; but even that, to a man who had 611 ed the respectable position he had, would fall much heavier on him than on a person who had not been so well circumstanced. As butler to the gentleman he had lived so many years with, it was doubly his duty to protect his master's Interests rather than abuse the trust placed in him. He found, on referring to the depositions, that the cause of this dishonesty had arisen from some betting transac tions with which the prisoner had got mixed up. Bet ting on horseracing, he was sorry to say, was becoming more and more prevalent, most especially among do mestic servants; and he would warn them against in dulging in such practices, as they were sure to bring them into disgrace. The prisoner was then sentenced to three months' im prisonment and hard labour. THIRD COUR?: (Before the COMMON-SERGEANT.) William Dudley, 40, upholsterer, was indicted for em bezzlement. The prisoner, a most respectable looking man, pleaded not guilty. Mr. Metcalf prosecuted, and Mr. Payne defended. Mr. Farebrother, of New Millman-street, Brunswick square, proved having paid to prisoner on the 24th of March the sum of Si. 10s.; Mr. Thomas Wylde of the Bailey en e t a o g n r in in on t h whathe s service,Cityb Rose Inn, Old B a il ey , on th e Bth o f March, 31. 19s. 6d. ; e a and Mr. Goo c h, o f th e B u ll I nn , Old Bailey, 21. The ile y upholsterer, said Mr. that William theprisoner Kirby, of h a 6 d o, O l been threener d had which h week,ttwohe b prisoner a n n d e i a p s a old. Witness a vir h t t d ant e l B wea s h nesses, the one nam e d, an d th e o th er at Westminster, d e the years e s w o as was principally engaged. Witness had discharged him for having sent away to his own house a chest of drawers and a carpet. He then told him that he had been robbing him, but, in consequence of prisoner appealing to him on behalf of his wife and child he declined giving him into custody to an officer who was then present, but subsequently finding out that he had been plundered to a great extent he gave instructions to have him ap prehended. Between the time of the prisoner's being discharged and his apprehension several applications had been made on behalf of the prisoner to compromise the matter. Webb, 258, City police, said, that when he appre hended the prisoner, which he did on the 15th of April, at his own house, in Hatfield-street, ho said he was sorry for what had occurred, and had sent and offered part of the money, which Mr. Kirby would not accept. Mr. PAYNE then addressed the jury. They returned a verdict of Guilty. A former conviction was proved against the prisoner in 1841, when he was tried and convicted in this court for embezzlement, and transported for seven years. The prosecutor in that case, a baker in the Strand, and who came up to prove the conviction, said the pri soner was then in his service, and that after his convic tion, in consideration of his wife and child, he (the pro secutor) had memorialised Government, and got his sen tence commuted to a short period of imprisonment. He was sentenced to seven years transportation. L Edward Thomas, the clerk who yesterday pleaded guilty to stealing a quantity of diamonds, was brought up for sentence. Several witnesses having spoken highly of his pre vious character, judgment was respited until next session. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Mr. Mason, a Spanish merchant of the City, appeared before the sitting magistrate, in company with several Spanish gentlemen, to ask his advice and assistance in enforcing a contract which the complainants had made with a company in Madrid to bring them to London to see the Great Exhibition, providing them with board, lodging, and other necessaries, a carriage, and defraying the expenses of their visits to the various sights, and to the Opera, and, after staying ten days in London, to take them back to Madrid by way of Paris, remaining there eight days, and.treating them to all the entertainments as in London. Tho charge was 501. per head. The contract stated that the accommodation should be of the best description, and that a box at the Opera should be engaged for their use. They complained that the con tract was being broken in various ways, chiefly by put ting them into the gallery at the Opera instead of the boxes, and not providing the carriage until twelve o'clock at noon, when the day was half gone. Alderman SALomons inquired if there was any com plaint as to the board and lodging. Mr. Mason said they had no complaint on that score, for they were very comfortably provided for in a board ing-house at 23, Woburn-place, but the gentlemen were under the impression that the parties were about to abandon the contract altogether, and to leave them to find their way back to Madrid as they best could, and he trusted, as there were so many .foreigners in London, that the magistrates would protect them from such treatment. Alderman SaLomoNs asked if the contract had been made with an English company. Mr. Mason said it had not; it was composed entirely of Spaniards. There was an agent in London, who was acting under the direction of a member of the company, of the name of Saavedra, who is at present in Paris. Alderman SALOMONS said, he was very glad they were not Englishmen, as it would have reflected great dis grace on this country at such a time. He could have no jurisdiction over the case where the contract was made in another country. With respect to the breaches of contract which had already taken place, he was of opi nion the only redress that could be obtained would be a suit at Madrid for the recovery of the money they had paid. At the same time, Mr. Mason might mention to the agent that the matter had been brought under the notice of the magistrate, and that ho recommended him to carry out the contract. There was very little doubt that all the magistrates of London would assist each other in affording every protection to foreigners coming to this country to see the Exhibition, as far as their power would allow. Mr. Mason then thanked the Alderman for the atten tion he had given him, on behalf of the gentlemen accom panying him, and retired. MINING INTELLIGENCE. COFFER. ORES FOR SALE A? TRURO, MAY 22.

In this case the plaintiff sought to recover damages for a breach of promise of marriage. When it was called on Mr. Sergeant WILKINS said, he was happy to say the Court would be saved the trouble of trying it, as the parties had come to an arrangement. On the part of the defendant, he was willing to consent to a verdict being given for the plaintiff with 3501. damages. He also said a plea had been put on the record which he regretted had ever been placed there, and he wished en tirt-ly to withdraw it. Lord CAMPBELL said, the plea would bo taken pro non scripto. A verdict was then taken for the plaintiff, with 3501. damages. Mr. James, Q C., me. Pearson. and Mr. Charnock appearEd for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. M. Smith for the defendant.

It appeared that on the evening of the 6th of April a serious disturbance took place in TooleY -street on a number of the lower order of Irish ; t wo of them, among Lynch and Walsh, began to fight. The prosecutor, who is a police•constible, interfered to prevent a breach of the peace, took Lynch into custody, and was about to convey him to the police-station, when his companions interfered with a view to rescue him, and the prisoner, who took an active part in exciting the mob to attack he police, wrenched the staff from the prosecutor and at tacked him with it in a most savage manner, inflictng a desperate wound upon his head, which felled him to the ground insensible, and he remained for some time in a dangerous state, owing to this and other injuries ho re ceivea upon the occasion. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and, The Learned JunaE, after observing upon the savage and unmanly conduct he had exhibited, and the neces sity for protecting the police in the execution of their duty, sentenced him to be transported for ten years. John Lynch, 29. labourer, Bartholomew Coghlan, 27, tailor, Patrick Collins, 17, labourer, Michael Walsh, 26, labourer, and Margaret Hart, who surrendered, were then arrai gne d, u pon another indictment, charging them with feloniously wounding Samuel Congdon, a police• constable. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clerk prosecuted; Mr. Worsley and Mr. Cockle appeared for Hart and C o lli es . This prosecution tow out of the same transaction as the former, and the facts deposed to were pretty nearly the same. The jury Acquitted Walsh, Hart, and Lynch, and found the other prisoners, Collins and Coghlan, Guilty, but recommended them to mercy, Collins on account of his youth, and Coghlan on account of the good cha racter he had received. Mr. Justice TALFOURD sentenced Collins to be impri soned and kept to hard labour for 18 and Coghlan for 12 months. John Lynch then pleaded guilty to another ()barge preferred against him for a common assault, and be was sentenced to be imprisoned for 6 months. Mary Ann Coster, 20, was indicted for the wilful mur der of her illegitimate male child by drowning it. Mr. Ryland prosecuted, and Mr. Parry defended the prisoner. The evidence merely went to show that on the 26th of March the prisoner was delivered of the child in ques tion at her father's house, in York-street, St. Luke's, and Mr. Mack, a me di ca l gentleman, who was called in, expressed an opinion that the child was born alive, and that its death was the result of drowning; but the reasons for this opinion were by no means conclusive, and there wes an utter absence of any evidence to show that, even supposing the child had, in point of fact, been born alive, the death was the r e s ult of any wilful act on th e part of the prisoner. The Coroners jury, it appeared, had returned a verdict of "Found Drowned." Mr. Baron ALDERSON stopped the case, and the jury, under his Lordship's direction, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Thomas Humphrey, 18, was indicted for cutting and wounding William Burton, a police-constable, with intent to prevent his lawful apprehension. It appeared that on the night of the 28th of April the prosecutor had taken a girl into custody for disorderly conduct, and as be was conveying her to the station house the prisoner interfered and struck him. He im mediately laid hold of the prisoner, who walked with him a short distance towards the police -station quietly, but upon their getting to a spot that was rather dark be began to struggle with the policeman, and at length drew a knife from his pocket and stabbed him in the arm, in flicting it very severe wound.

The Turkish frigate was taken under the sheers at Portsmouth, and her masts were taken oat.

They are curiously made—the pieces are spiked together; the ends abut on each other wtthout scarfings, and in various places the rotten parts have been taken out, and other pieces let in.

The laborious and well-directed of its,promoters have 119.0ieen thrown away, or their calculations baffled. Our own countrymen, and all the nations of the earth, have responded to the call. There has been realised one of the grandest conceptions that ever entered the mind of man, and in Hyde-park there is now a Congress of nations gathered to exhibit and to behold the manifold fruits of human industry. There is scarcely wanting a circumstance that could add to the pleasure and the pride of the scene. As to the numbers, it is estimated by the infallible test of the money received at the doors, that every day there aro no less than 30,000 persons at one hour or another in the building. Near 10,000 have daily paid their five shil lings, and the holders of season tickets are evidently in tent on working out the value of their investment. Such is the number of daily visitors during the month of comparative exclusiveness. The Crystal Palace can hardly yet be said to bo open, and the million is still impatiently waiting for the real inauguration of the edi fice. It begins to be a question of interest, and even of gravity, how many will then press for admission at each returning day. Will the number fall short of 100,000 ? Will it not be prudent to confine the admissions to 60,000 or less? Will it not be necessary to provide for the circulation of the multitude by arrangements - that will considerably interfere with the pleasure and utility of their visit ? In the mean time there is no doubt that the number will be enormous. The well-known problem ,c,f, getting 50,000 mea out of Hyde Park will have to be Solved every evening, "bet ween s i x and eight o'clock ; and there are persons who ask, with unnecessary ap prehension, whether the mob, being in possession of so capacious a palace, so magnificently furnished, will not be reluctant to quit. Such fears are wholly imaginary, ' but they show the anticipations wh lab . : prevail as to the fa, - 9m all p a rt s o f the numbers that are likely to come, world during the three next menthe to this marvellous spectacle. A year ago it might have seemed r a th er w ild to talk in this manner, 'but the fact of 30,000 visitors a day on the present higkterms imparts a probability to the largest calculations. Our immediate purpose in calling attention to this fact, and to these calculations, is a matter of duty, an d by no means an agreeable Olii. Of the 30,000 daily visitors at the Exhibition, some 'go there in private car riages, and some walk, but a very large portion go is omnibuses and cabs. From Regent's-circus, in Picca dilly, to the south door of the Exhibition, there is an almost continuous stream of these vehicles to and fro, and sometimes three or four abreast, from ten in the morning to eight at night. We cannot help reflecting, with concern, on the large amount of imposition that will be practised on our provincial and foreign visitors in that one item of their expenditure—their cab and omni bus fares, during their sojourn in the metropolis. Think of a hundred thousand visitors a day, half of them igno rant of the laws and usages of this metropolis, and many of them even of our language! Old Londoners them selves, practised as they are in the ways of the world, are not always able to protect themselves from the most shameless spoliation. How much less their country cousins and their foreign guests, especially those of the weaker sex! There is nothing of which an Englishman professes such abhorrence as " tricks upon travellers." He will pay anything if he can be euro that ho fares the same as the natives, but he rebels at once if he finds his ignorance imposed upon. Of course, we ought to give our visitors the benefit of this equitable feeling, an d protect them from the hands of the spoiler as much as WO ORE. In the case of the omnibuses the scale of the spolia tion is not very large, for it is only a question of pence, and it was bat the other day that no one could put his foot into an omnibus without paying his sixpence, were it but for fifty yards jolting. These, however, are cheap times, and people now look twice at a penny before they throw it away. Parisians, too, can go, by the system of " correspondence," from any one part of Paris to any other in a roomy vehicle, high enough for a man to stand upright in, and divided into stalls, for the uniform charge of threepence. When they arrive here they will find that, on the alleged grievance of being obliged to give passengers the space required by the law, all the omni bus proprietors raised their lowest fare to 4d. from the day of the opening of the Exhibition. They will also find that it is often difficult even for an old Londoner to make out, while the omnibus is passing, whether the charge to the Exhibition will be 4d. or 60., whether the omnibus will go to the Exhibition at all, and whether it will not charge 6d. for merely putting the passenger down a quarter of a mile from the Exhibition, that quarter of a mile to be traversed in heat, dust, or rain, without even a pavement to walk upon. In matter of fact, a vast number of passengers are every day put down at the turn to Sloane-street, or to Brompton, when they had fully believed themselves booked for the Exhibition, and still greater numbers are disgusted at receiving no change out of the sixpence they tender the conductor, whether they are put down at the Exhibition or a quarter of a mile short of it. The omnibuses have ingeniously arranged their fares in such a way that, while 4d. is prominently paraded on the outside, a passenger has to pay 6d. for going even from Ilyde-park•corner to turn off to Brompton. It is 4d. to and from the Bank and Charing-cross, and 6d. beyond, that is, for every yard not between those two stations. Now, we must say, that we should think it no slight drawback from the credit which this country will derive from the Exhibition, if foreigners were to go away with the impressions they are likely to acquire on the Knightsbridge-road. When a Frenchman or a German gets into an omnibus at Regent's-circus, at the top of St. James's-street, or perhaps at. Apsley [louse, having seen the words " Exhibition" and " Fourpened in large letters upon it, and finds himself charged 6 d. for that mile or half-mile, and perhaps, after all, put down a good walk short of the Exhibition, he will be not a little disposed to set us down on the spur of the moment as a nation of rogues. If it is possible, we beg to submit that it is very desirable, that no omnibuses should be allowed to show the word " Exhibition" in largo letters unless it conveys passengers actually to that place, and that on no account whatever shall it charge more than 4d. for the faro between Charing-cross and Knightsbridge. As all the omnibuses set down at one spot, just opposite Rutland-gate, it would be easy to have an officer stationed there in readiness to advise and protect foreigners, in case they should think themselves imposed upon. But we pass on to a matter of shillings, not pence. The relation of the metropolitan cabmen to foreigners, strangers, and ladies, is simply that of the wolf to the sheep tribe. Any one of the latter classes may justly exclaim— ~ Lupis et agnis quanta sortito obtigit, e Tecum mihi discordia est." Ile must and will devour them to the end, and the only remedy is to extirpate the wolf, and introduce a better animal in his place. Under the present law, which ex tracts a revenue out of cabmen, and then leaves them, like the publietev and sinners of old, to repay themseleee by extortion, any fellow, however bad his c haracter,may pay his money, got a license, e nd become that l;o teu: being, a privileg e d n e h me n.

Now here again there was no remedy, except one which would have entailed a heavy penalty on the gen tleman, and a light one upon the cabman, for a day's attendance at the police-office would have been a much more serious affair to the gentleman than any fine likely to be inflicted would have been to the cabman.
