The effect of this dec7sion must be ruinous to the proprietor, and it is greatly to be regretted that the care which he was prepared to prove before the court, wag not fully shown and proven. It would have sufficed, at any rate, to place his establishment perfectly right in the judgmentof the public, whale reverdecision the board may have given on the cpiestion of the license. The proof by his books, kept regularly and constantly, that the whole average number of persons visiting the rooms, both male and female, is 600 nightly, and the proportion of males to females being about ten to one ; this proof, supported by the members and officers of the police, who have been constantly on duty et the rooms, would have settled the zeal of the three inspectors. Super added to this proof, that females of unimpeachable re spectability do visit the place, and we think the inspec tors would have felt ashamed of themselves ; indeed, if the case had been carefully nursed and pertinacionely defended with the materials on hand, and for that pur pose ready in the court, we think they might perhaps have been led to retract and apologise, after the fashion of well-meaning men, who, having committed an error and injustice, are prompt And ready to acknowledge and redress it. Recurring briefly to the statute—questions plain ( enough perhaps to lawyers, but to our apprehension no !lass complex than apt, force themselves upon the mind. In what sense is a statute, which plainly states as the reason for its enactment that it was to withhold tempta tions from the lower sort of people, and prevent their congregating in disorderly houses, applicable to the Argyll Rooms ? Have the lower sort of people ever frequented that establishment ?—Never. Quite the re verse. It is the resort of great numbers of the higher sort, and the great majority of its visitors are of the better sort. Clearly law is not reason ; or rather,' what might have been both law and reason in 1747, have in 1857 become grossly at variance with each other. We ...imply rase the question, for we have not room for present argument, sufficient to note the utter inap- . plicability of the statute to the present case, and to the present day. Again ;in case of violation of the condi tions of the statute, the license " shall be forfeited, and shall be revoked by the justices, &c. See" Suppose none of the conditions have been violated. What then ? Suppose, on the contrary, they have been most scrupu lously and conscientiously observed and maintained, so that the licensed place of entertainment gains a high and almost world-wide reputation for the propriety and excellence of its management. Shall it be forfeited and revoked all the same ? Does the statute empower the magistrates to commit so manifest an injustice ? To encourage a man during seven consecutive years, until, confident in the reputation of his place, confident in the scrupulous care he has taken to act up to the law in its letter and its spirit ; he has gradually expended the sum of 30,000/. (which we understand to be the fact) upon his establishment ; and then suddenly, without a i-ingle cause, refuse the license, render his p roper t y valueless, or comp ara ti ve l y so, and turn him upon the world a ruined man ? Is this justice 1 If it be, Heaven preserve us from the Court of Sessions, and the Statute Of 1747 ! What means discretion ? By the second clause of the statute the Sessions may " grant such licenses as they in their discretion shall think proper." And what means discretion ? That they may c:o as they see fit, one way or the other, with regard t o no thi ng b u t th e i r w ill I Certainly not. Discretion means a reasonable, sound, and just exercise of their judgment. Here has been a perfect observance of the law, a scrupulous regard to property, an orderly assemblage of the higher and better clan..-es for the purpo es of innocent recreation, and a large fortune invested under the long and continuous sanction of the Sessions, and all disregarded. Let the public judge if this be the discretion which the law means—a reason& le and just exercise of judgment, not only has the essence of the law been disregarded, but the principle on which the Court is supposed to ' act, "never to injure property without good cause," has been cast aside in tt i : case. Of oeuvre, the nuli ance of the Haymarket will be re t up as the justifica tion; whereas, fur this nuisance, the Argyll Rooms are not, and, before a court of law, could not, be made responsible. In plain truth, the arbitrary powers -con ferred by the proviii ins of an absurd law, hostile to the rights and feelirgi of Englishmen, have been per verted to the commission of a grave and signal injustice. Why were Creme roe Gardens licensed ? Why the Holborn Casino ? Why the fifty other places ? It can not be pretended that the Argyll Rooms had Jess pre tensions to respectability in any particular than any of these. We put these qu stiees to test the "discretion " of the Sessions in its al placation to the Argyll Broome. In considering this 'vase, we place entire relieve° upon the steiteurenti o the proprietor ; and to those who are di-posed to do otherwise, we say that great credit i. due te him. If, as the inspector ntated, his establishment has been the nightly resort of &frill 500 to 700 prostitutes, an I he has so entirely succeeded in subjecting mob an enormous mass of profligacy to decency, order, and propriety for several hours every evening, iu the gay areuienieut of dancing, without in curring a solitary charge of disturbance, intoxication, or impropriety of any diecription, then, we say, he is, in his sphere and station, a ta'ented and beneficial reformer ' —that he deserves well of the public, and is just the man to be encouraged and not smitten with ruin. ['here are many gradations between the two extremes of the highest good and the? rawest evils, and he•who can stand on any ono of the multitudinous intermed.ate steps and do his share of even comparative good, does well. Prostitution has existed in all ages and in all nations of the world. Harlots hid the spies in Jericho, and Re, from whom many a professor of sanctity would do well to take closer pattern, has recorded his judgment en another, taken in the velar act. At the same time, we lutterly deny that the Argyilißooms are any more a resort thr females of this descripttoa than any other place for dancin g or than any theatre in the metropolis. And we also deny that the proprietor is in anywise responsible for their attendance at his rooms. Much as the act of injustice committed at the Sessions is to be deplored, and particularly in reapect to the ruinous and undeserved weight with which it halls on the owner of the Argyll Returns, good will grow out of it. Public sycepatby invariably fellows an act of gross and inauitest oppression, and succeeds eventually in righting the nppre,sed. Attention will be directed to the statute et 1747.

"Sir,—There will be a county meeting held at Wor center on Saturday next, one principal object of which will be to raise subscriptions in aid of the Indian Relief Fund. "I therefore venture to trouble you with a letter of inquiry as to the proceedings of the Mansion house Committee. "A preliminary meeting was held at Worcester, yes. terday, and I was there told by several gentlemen, as I have heard from many quarters elsewhere, that there exiets in the public mind, in combination with a desire to subscribe, a feeling that no adequate security has yet been offered with respect either to the responsibility under which the fund i s to be administered, or the prin ciples, regulations, or conditions under which it is to be applied. " 1 shall therefore feel obliged to you if you can send me any summary of your plan or other information which may tend to mitigate a feeling of distrust which is much lamented.

"It may be not unacceptable to the committee to read the following short extract on this subject from a letter received by the last mail from one of the late Sir Henry Lawrence's sisters, who is now takingrefuge with several other European ladies in the Lawrence Asylum at lius ale lee. She writes The children at the asylum are in a most pitiabl e state, they are obliged to be put on the smallest p oss ibl e r4tions, and there will be no warm clothing for th em t hi s winter.

The fallowing are extracts from a letter dated Allahabad, S ept. 6 : " General Oat ram ' s forces marched i nto two columns, The first, of 683 m en, left this yester d ay ( s t h) at one o'clock. The sennd, a l so o f 630 men, marched with th e General at 10 o ' clock last night. The alvance colum n it is intend e d should rea, c h.esernpore on the 10th i ns t. , and the G eneral on the 11th of Sept., and if General Havelock L as b y that time managed the crossing, the whole force will at once mono on to Lucknow, and the place has ev ery c h ance of being relieved by the 15th or 16th, and, even allowing for delay in the crossing by the 20th. Tho rivers litre :11 fallen wonderfully, the Jumna laving gon e d own 30 feet in a week ; this will help th e crossing g reat l y, and enable us to act on the enemy's flanks adva n t ageously on the march to Lucknow, which could not be d one at the tiros of t he previous advance owing to the w h o l e country b e i ng un d er water. We have informs' ion that the Lucknow garrison have pro visions to last them until she 20th inst. Gen. Outram has taken some heavy guns drawn by elephants." In another letter it is mentioned that Mr. Co'xin is prepared to aid a column advancing on Delhi with camels and other carriage as they approach A gr a. At Meerut they have also collected car riage to some extent. The sth and 90th are armed with Enfield rifles. In another letter, dated the `9th of August, writes from Allababad We have sent on 400 men this Week to Cawapore by train (40 miles), and the sick and wounded men of General Ravel' ck's force are now on their way h ere , and will come in the last 40 miles by railway." It appears from the above cxtracti that in addi tion to the two columns of Outram'a force of 683 + 680=1,363; a detachment of 400 men h a d preceded him, which would give a total reinforce ment of 1,763.

We regret to find, at the end of the thirteenth day from the discovery of the remains on the but tress of Waterloo-bridge, that the investigation s of the police have led to no satisfactory result with reference to the elucidation of this mysterious murder—if murder it be—a doubt now generally entertained by those who have paid any attention to the circumstances in connection with it, not withstanding the asseverations to the con trary of those who place more reliance on the truth of medical science than on the results of actual investigation and discovery of the manner in which crimes of this enormity have hitherto been revealed. The non-identification of the carpet bag and clothes, after the facilities given by the police, con firms the opinion expressed by us on a former occa sion, that this is not a murder, and every day's experience but confirms that opinion. Since the discovery made at Waterloo-bridge, a number of most absurd statements in connexion with the alleged murder have been published, and dis coveries of human remains have been made suffi cient to create great alarm in the public mind, but as yet no trace has been found of the missing head, hands, and feet, which is certainly a remarkabie circumstance, as tending to confirm the theory that the remains were no portion of a foul and horrible murder. Yesterday afternoon the inhabitants of Barnes were alarmed by the announcement that the thigh of a human being bail been found floating up with the tide, belonging to that of the man whose re ' mains were found in the carpet-bag ; but the evi dence of Mr. Paynter before the Coroner distinctly shows that that part of the frame is not missing. It is, however, an ascertained fact that the thigh of a full-grown male person was found floating up with the tide, but on its examination by Mr. Pulling, he stated his opinion that it had been subjectcSto a chemical process. The public exhibition of the clothes at Bow. street has been stopped, in consequence of the number of idle persons it attracted to the station to the impediment of the ordinary business of the day. They, however, still remain at the station for examination, by persons who really believe they are able - to identify them, a statement ren dered necessary from the report that the clothes were going on a provincial, and afterwards a con tinental tour. LAW INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day. WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT. FORBLANQUE V. BUCKSTONE. The learned judge (F. Bayley, H.q.) this morning gave his decision in this case. It will be recollected that the plaintiff forwarded a farce to the defendant, the lessee of the Haymarket Theatre, for his approval and acceptance. Some time afterwards Mr. Fonblanque Note to the defendant from the country, to ascertain whether the farce was accepted, but not receiving an answer to his communication he Mlle to town to make personal application for the manuscript. After some time it was returned to him, and the present action was brought to recover the expense of the journey to Lon don and the value of the work, which had been destroyed by being so long kept by the defendant. His Honour said he bai taken time to consider the case, and, after a careful study of the whole facts, be thought that the plaintiff bad a right to bring the action, but that he vra4 only entitled to nominal damages. The judgment of the court, therefore, was ls. for the detention of the farce, and costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day. WESTMINSTER. ASSAULT IN viac MIDDLESEX HOUSZ OF CORREC TION BY A FEMALE PRISONER ON TAE MEDICAL OFFICER, — Julia Crinin, a prisoner in the Middlesex House of Correction, Millbank, was brouzlit up on a warrant placed in the hands of Knowland, the suturnon• ink,* officer of the court, charged before Mr. C. 0. Dayman with committing an assault, on the 7th of Oat., on Dr. Joseph S. Lewis, one of the medical offi ,ers of the pri on. The complainant stated that on the clay in question, the prisoner was on his sick-list, and he went to see her. He was accompanied by one of the female warders. On coming to her cell, he asked her if she was unwell, as her name was on his list. She made no reply, when he again put the question to her, and kquired her com plaint. She immediately mane use of a most filthy ex pression. Complainant remarked to her that if she had no respect for him, she should have some retard for one of her own sex (the warder). She then struck him on his mouth, and attempted to come nut of the cell. put hEr back and left her with the officer. Mr. Dayman (to the prisoner) —Do you meats to ask the complainant any question ? Prisoner—No, sir. Mr. Dayrnan—ls the warder present, who was with you, to give evid ence ? omphainant—She is not; I did not think it necessary. She will not attempt a denial of the charge. Knovaand stated that when the prisoner, a, PhO was leaving the gaol, was taken into custody by him, he told her with what mho was charged. She then observed that if Dr. Lewis was with him she would kuock his rye out, and tear up his b-- umbrella. Mr. Dayman (to the prisoner) —Have you anything to say to the charge I Prisoner—Nothing, sir. Mr. Dayman—This appears to be a very unprovoked assault on your part, and that there was not the slight est cause for the assault. I shall call upon you to enter upon your own recognizance to kelp th e peace for one month, and in o ne surety of .5/. The prisoner said " Very well,"and in default of bail was conveyed back to prison. ANOTHER CASA OF CRU.ELTY BY MERCHANT C.A.PT.AIN. BosToN, Oct. 21.—Y,Isterday at the general quarter sessions for this district, George Wright, captain of the brig Stanley, of Whitby, recently arrived at this port fro n Riga, was.indicted for several acts of cruelty to James Day, aged 15, as apprentice on board the above vesal, while on a voyage from Riga, to Boston. The case excited considerable interest. Mr. York appeared for the proseontion, and Mr. Toynbee defended the accn;ed. James Day, the prosecutor, said that ho was in the Ur ion at Blything, in Suffolk, when he was sent to sea by the board of guardians in November last on board a schooner that sailed from Souther°ld. They went to Hartlepool, when he was put on board another ship, in consequence of being so small, and they went from Norwich to lartlepool, when he left the ship and walked to Whitby. He then became acquainted with Mrs. Marshal, a lodging house keeper, through watching some clothes for her. She had him bound apprentice on the 9tb of July to hie present master, the prisoner, wh o gave her six shillin,gs, and he beli e v e d he was bound for five years. The pri soner was captain, who ordered him to go on board the brig Stanley, and he went to a place close to Newcastle, where the brig was loaled with gas, coals, and iron for Stockholm, about the 21st of July last, she sailed to Riga, and from Riga to Boston, with timber, He was not allowed to go below, but used to sleep on dock, in the longboat or galley, in his wet (Jetties. He becam e very loose in Lie inside in consequence of being badly fed. The prisoner used to be continually flogeing him, and would heave any mortal thing at him. He let two plates fall one day while in the cabin, off Elsinore ; the prisoner struck him with a sharp piece of wood on the head, part of a broken chest, the pear of which was then visible, though it had been done three weeks. The wound poured down with blood, on his face and clothes. Warnes, the cook, helped him to wash it. On Thursday, the Ist of October, just after leaving Elsinore, on the passage home, he let the fire go out, in conse quence of which the prisoner said he would not let him have anything to eat, and then tied him up. He tied his hands behind hie back, his feet close together, rest. ing on the deck cargo, and fastened a rope round his neck, one end of which was attached to the main boom, and the upper to the rigging ; he also tied a rope round his forehead with a deep sea lead attached to it, weigh ing about 281b5., hanging down his back, which was secured by another rope round his waist. The rope round his neck was so tight that be could scarcely breathe, and during this time the ship was under reefed topsails, and she pitched very much. He got his feet loose once, and the prisoner ropes-ended him and tied them together again. He was thus tied up from sae o'clock in the day to five in the evening, when Edwin Renshaw, one of the crew took hen down by the prisoner's orders. He could scarcely walk to the cabin, in consequence of the treatment he bad received. He bad breakfast next day at eight in the rimm ing, and had nothing else to eat until eight on the fol lowing morning, and by the prisoner's orders he walked the deck all night. He was bruised all over from the beating of the master. He bad a sore at the bottom of his back from the deep sea line ehafieg it. His testimony was confirmed by John Warnes and James Martin, two of the crew, who spoke of the cruel ties which the boy had received. They added that if the main sheet had given way the boy's neck must have been wrenched off. The Chairman, the Rev. Mr. Holdsworth, having carefully summed up the evidence, The jury found the prisoner guilty on the first and second coents—ill-treating the lad whereby his life was in danger, and assaulting him with intent to do bodily harm. • The Chairman then addressed the prisoner, and com mented upon his cruel treatment of the prosecutor. The court felt bound to pass a sentence upon him of 18 months' imprisonment, with hard labour, in the Spald ing House of Correction. The bench hoped that this case would operate as a warning to masters of ships, who, haring mo much power vested in them by the law over their men, were required to exercise that power with moderation, and not as pretext for oppreado,a and tyranny. Tim prisoner was removed to the gaol. In the year 1747, upwards of a century ago, in the 21st year of the reign of George the Second, a reign signalised by factious conspiracies and open rebellion— before popular education had aided to humanise and elevate the minds of the people, and social and political reforms had ameliorated their physical condition, before gas was invented, or oil was put to use—in the times of dark streets, footpads, and highwaymen, when no system Motolce opposed restraint to disorder and pre venti crime, an act was passed entitled "An Act for the Better Preventing Thefts and Robberies, and for Regulating Places of Public Entertain ment, and Punishing Persons Keepingerly Houses." Th e second clause of this r pre mises—" Whereas the multitude of places of en tertainment for the lower sort of people, is another great cause of thefts and robberies, tempting them to spend their small substance in riotous pleasures, and putting them on unlawful methods of supplying their wants and renewing their pleasures ; " and after stating , these reasons, provides that "any house, room, garden, or other place kept for public dancing, music, or other entertainment of the like kind, in the Cities of London and Westminster," without a license had for that pur pose from the last preceding Michaelmas Quarter Ses sions of the Peace, granted in the discretion of the magis trates, shall b 3 deemed a disorderly house or place. The third clause provides that in case of breach of either of the conditions of the licenses, it shall be for feited; and empowers the magistrates to revoke the same. Introducing our observations with thus much of the wisdom of our ance tors—and perhaps they were wise in and for their day and generation —we propose to consider a case in which the wisdom of 1747 has been committed for purpose and fulfilment to the discretion of 1857—we mean the case of the Argyll Rooms. The most p)pular of all the places of public resort and entertainment in London was licensed by the magistrates at the Michaelmas session of the year 1850, and from that period until the sessions just terminated the license has been from year to year renewed—that is to say, for the period of seven years. Taking the statements of the proprietor, upwards of a milli on an d a -h a lf o f v i s i tors have attended his entertainments. Not a single case of riot, disturbance, or even intoxication, has been wit messed within the walls of his establishment; nor has a single charge of a criminal nature, not even a case of common as,ault occurred. In fact, no charge of any de scription has ever been made against it. We speak of our own knowledge when we say, that it has always been frequented by as good male society as London, or even England can furne-h ; and that it has been, with such a class ofgentlemen, the favourite evening resort and promenade. That the females we have seen there have been respectable both in appearance and behaviour; and that we never saw the slightest inde corum committed in the place. That so far as our knowledge extends the public reputation of the establishment fully corroborate it—the nighty enter tainments are conducted with as much propriety as in any private ball-room. Indeed, in private balls we have seen far greater cases of intoxication, which imputation against his establishment the proprietor or the Argyll Rooms repels. Under these circumstances we insist, that no person can for a moment be justified in denouncing, indiscriminately, the female; who are to be seen in the Argyll-rooms as a bevy of prostitutes. Relying 'on the high and well-merited reputation of his establishment, the proprietor applied at the late sessions for a renewal of the license, and the board re jected his application. Ou what grounds ? Not that music and dancing are improper amusements ; because the same board granted licenses to about fifty other inferior places in London, including many now ones, for the express perpose of enabling the public to be provided with the same recreation. Not that any conditions on which the license was granted had been violated ; be cause the facts stated, in relation to the perfect propriety with which the entertainments have always been conducted, stand admitted. It may be un necessary to state, what is already well known, that the music of the Argyll-roams is excelleat, and the orchestra the first of its kind in London ; that the rooms themselves are the most specie ons, the most elegant, the best fitted for the enteitaic men ts given in them and, with ou t except i on , the fi nest in the metropolis, and, we may say, in Europe ; that the proprietor must of necessity have expended a very large sum of money in making them what they are ; that they are moat cvnvenieutly situated in a byc street, where the occasion a l and unavoidable impedi ment of a concourse of pers.:4li going to, and returdin from, a pl ace o f public amusement is not felt g, and has never been complained of; that they have kept iu permaheut and profitable employment comethiug like a hundred respectable and industrious persons, and must, therefore, have contributed largely to the busiuese interests of the community ; and that they are the only West-end place of public amusement, where the entertainment of mutie and dolle n," w.s provided. Pn what grounds, then, aid the Board of Sessions ex :reP,e this ex raordinary instance of discretion ? Let us see if, in the opposing evidence, anything can be found to justify it. On the bearing of the case, a ikon of a report made by one of the inspectors of polite, Inspector O'Brien we believe, was introduced, and its author pu, into the witness-box. Tnat report stated, that from five to seven hundred prostitutes nightly frequented the Argyll Rooms ;. which statement was supported by the v.., bal evidence of the author, and two other inspectors, Tester and Webb, who were callA fur that purpose. - Now, in the absence of all crone-examination to sift and &bake that testimony, we insist that its unsparing and indisce.inir ate cbaractcr, to any one gifted with ordi• nary perception, disproves itself. Had these witnesses personal knowledge of each and every one of the la , ge number offemalo 3 whom they th us stig matised? W ere th ey prepared to pro ve , we will not. say acs of prok titution, but the reputation of a prostitute against each and every one of them ? Did they watch them from their homes I Did they track them back again ? Did they play the spy to detect each and every one of them in her imputed vine. tion ? Did they know each indiviJual name, each in dividual residence, of the whole number! Did they wit ne-s each and every one of them riotous, disorderly, iotoxicatsd, indecorous in speech or action, either in going to or returning from the Rooms ? Were they in the Rooms, and all over the Rooms, these uliqu taus inspectors, every and each succeeding night, to ascer tain that there were always therelthe same, "from five to seven hundred females," and not only in numbers, but in identity al so ; an d to satisfy themselves by irre fragib!e proof of the truth of what they stated. Did they see at any time ten, or twenty, or fifty, or even a hundred prostitutes there, and connect with them in the common estimate the remaining four to six hundred ? Then did they see such acts of familiarity, common acquaintance, common and complete know ledge of each with the other and with its to justify such a universal accusation. Because Tray must be in bad company before he can be pelted as a bad dog, and being in bad company means, not in a world. which contains bad doge, nor under a roof where some may have congregated ; but actually associating, frater nising, and in act and deed making himself one of them. In brief, what was the specific and exact knowledge, either as regards common reptuation or personal con duct, possessed by these inspect 're in regard to each sand every one of this large number of females ? That is the qiieetion, for specific and exact knowledge must be the bases and the essence of' every statement to give it weight as evidence. Finally, do police inspectors take upon themselves, in detail and minutite, the - dutie.— offices, we should rathe r say — which could' alone lead to such knowledge ? We all know that they do not, and we know simply that the thing is impossible. Such thtngs have been heard and read of as swearing down a fact, and all round a fact—dodges of all kinds where the of • ct has been to evade or conceal the truth —for there are consciences which at their convenience will no more take hold on verity than a hand can grasp a ball of ice larger than the compass of its grasp— prejudices which add to it or take from it in proportion with the force and bias of those prejudices —many modes of testifying which are not truth, nor legal falsehood either, because the malice is wanting, but grievant ors, and this testimony is of the last description. It was not fact, nor conclusion, nor inference, for no premises were stated or existed from which such a conclusion or inference could be drawn. It was simply a broad, gene ral, sweeping, uncharitable, impossible, and unsupport able assertion, which could not have stood the test of the weakest analysis. It is probable that counsel enter tained this view of it, and therefore considered it nu. worthy the pains of sifting by cross-examination. We wish it had been otherwise—we wish that the witnesses had been compelled to admit ignorance, if of only one in the from " five to seven hundred," so that the poor Argyll Rooms should not have stood an utter Gomorrah in the sight of the three'inspectors. And this evide .ce was the screw of the lever which lifted the discretion of the Board of Magistrates to such a pitch of enlightenment that they could see nought but darkness and infamy in the favourite resort of aristo cratic St. James's. What was the other consideration weighing with the Court—the point of support to the lever ? The character of the Haymarket. It was stated by the witnesses that at the time of the breaking up of the Argyll its visitors distributed them selves about the Haymarket and neighbourhood, and became a public nuisance. Was there on the bench no one gentleman who in his day bad sown wild oats, or who, perhaps, yearning for the wisdom which should in due season mature into the discretion of the Quarter Sessions, had, peradventure, looked en while ()there pursued that unprofitable course of agriculture Wa s there, we ask, no stroll one gentleman on the bench not ignorant of the fact that the Haymarket, for years be fore those witnesses put on public livery, was the same nuisance that it is at present ? And for the neighbourhood in years long gone—Panton-square, Coventry - court, Oxenden street, P anton - street , James old p eram b ulator of London does' not remember them as they used to. be ? Fie n time immem rlal the Mymarket has been the chief market overt of those unfortunate women. They have esta blished themselves there by ancientcustom, to which "the memory of man runneth not to the contrary." The fame we state are patent, known to every o ne w h o k nows by the West E n d of Londo n night, he t and its d t h ra R. Then ther e are the HaynaarkeeT Theatre Opera, and n o t f ar distant, before fireancontsuemetd Covent-garden Theatre • and still Drury-lane, and the Lyceum, and the Adelphi , ' 'and the Holborn Casino, al,d Ji.ITECHAPEL. many other places of Th e dense '= amusement, each of which ruled inactive, as follows :—Beef, from contributes its quota to swell the number of the , prome " ci d. t° _s 4d ; mutton, 3s 44 to 4s ed • veal, 3s 6d to 43 ' pork, 3s 83 to 5s 4d per Rlbs. by the carcass. faders of the Haymarket.
