POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-YESTERDAY. LIVERPOOL. BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD, " A. LOAFER."—Lawrence Murphy, a loafer abo - nt the docks, was charged with having stolen a trunk fall of property, belonging to Miss Thurreil. The lasoly was ceming from the Isle of Man, and the prisoner went on board the boat, took the trunk, and was going away with it, when Inspector Swain stopped him. The r ,risoner was sent to gaol for two months' with hard lal tour, for not being able to account for the possession of the, trunk. Dancetesr Boy.—Henry Howard, a youth % was charged with having embezzled £1 161 belonging to Mr. Thomas Lambert, cattle dealer, residing in Manchester. 'On the 10th August, the complaina ,t gave the boy the money to pay far the carriage cf some sheep from` Liverpool to aechestee, but he kept the cash and sent on the sheep, to be paid fsr on delivery. He then absconded and was not heard of until yes erday. He was remanded. A SWINDLER Cerenr.—Mark Noble, de' eribcd as a car ' -driver, was charged N% ith svrinling, ar.d with having obtained, money under false pretenceo. Mr. Almond, instruc:e . d. by Mr. Reay, of the Guardian. Society, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Hindley was for the prisoner. From the statement of Me. Almond, it appeared that the operations of the prisoner were of the following descrip tion. He would go to a coachmaker and represent that he had a lare e car estbalishment at Cabbage-hall ; that he had met with an accident by which he lost three of his fingers, and had brought an action and recovered £250, and this, along with £5OO left him by his grandfather, put -him into business. He would coder a cab or carriage, and had done so from several coachmakers, to the extent of 1100 or £BOO By such means he had entrapped several tradesmen, and had obtained money from them by false representations. Ater some further observations he called Mr. John Rimnier, who said: I am a c oachbuilder, in business inTembroke place On the 413. of August the prisoner came to me, and said he wanted to purchase a hansom cab. Ile was a stranger to me at the time ; he said ho was in good basine,s, and had seven or eiglat horses; that he hat just received £lOO out of £250 that ho got for an action against a person, and that he was after paying £33 to George Rimmer for a horse, and that he was to get £250 from a Mr. Hughes for the action. He agreed to give £63 for the cab, and was to pay £3O on the following Wednesday. Be referred to Mr, Wirrall, of Lower Castle street, and said he was to receive the balance of the money from Me. Hughes for him. I hew Mr. Wirrall to be a most respectable man. The prisoner then went away, but came bark some time after and said he could not run the Cab until he got a transfer of a licence for it, and he must get it that day, but as the government office would be closed at a certain hour, he had not time to go home for mcney to pay for the transfer, and he got it from me, bat I never saw him after. I saw Mr. Wirrall, but it was objected to, that this was not evidence_ Mr. Wilson, Coach Builder of Lime-street, said, on the 24th of August the prisoner called on me and told me he had received 1'250 for the accident. He agree 1 to buy a cab for £l3O, and was to pay £7O in a day or two. In this case the prisoner returned and said he was short of a sovereign after buying a horse. The witness gave him one, when the prisoner said he would call at a certain time and pay the sovereign. Witness said he need not be so particular, when the prisoner insisted that he mast be most particular, bat he never saw hint after. The prisoner told witness that he (witness) knew his father and grand father. He believed he did know his grandfather, who used to run 'buses to the Old Swan. He subsequently made inquiry about the prisoner, and found all his repre. sentations quite fa'se, and that he was a very bad character. Mr. Manger, a coaehmaker, in Richmond-row, was ex amined, and his story was nearly the same as told by the prisoner to the other parties, and he managed to get £2 from Mr. Manger after the same fashion. Mr. Almond said he had several other cases against the prisoner, but on those betze the court he would ask for a remand. The prisoner was remanded to Tuesday next. BEF,R3 MESSRS J. B. JEFFREY AND BOLTON. ASSAULT.-31e. Hughes, one of the out-door officers of the parish, was summoned by Mary Smart for an assault. Mr. Snowball was for the complainant, and Mr. Bluck for the defendant. This case arose out cf an unfortunate family quarrel, the details of which we hive no desire to enter on, as such things are always more or less painful. The short facts were these : Mr. Hughes is married to the daugirer of a gentleman whose servant the complainant is. There was a difference between Mr. Hughes and his father-in law, in consequence of Mrs. Hughes. and her father taking part with sher, a good deal of ill feeling followed. It appeared that the complainant went, or was sent, to watch the movements of Mr. Hughes, in regard to another lady, whom he was merely seeing home, out of ccmmon politeness, end out of this the assault arose There was a great deal of bickering snd ill-feeling exhibited, but the magistrates deeLied that the assault had been proved, and fined Mr. Hughes £2. LIVERPOOL BANKRUPTCY COURT.-YEBTERDAY, BEFORE MR. COMMISSIONER STEVENSON. In re MICHAEL NEVILLE —The bankrupt, .brassfonnder, of Liverpool, a ppli e d f or h i s certificate. His Honour granted an immediate certificate of the second ebos. In re WILLIAM Srmccza.—The bankrupt, quarryman, of Flint, applied for his certificate, and obtained an imme diate one cf the second class. In re CLAYT)N AND SANDIRS.—The last examination of the bankrupts was adjourned ; to the 4.h of September, the joint balance-sheet not having been filed in time. CORONER'S COURT. Yesterday, the Coroner held the following inquests :-- Tux END or A BAD Som.—A few days ago, we recorded in our police reports the fact that a young man, namel Robert Lovett, whose mother keeps an oyster shop in Williamson-square, was fent to jail for six months, for having violently assaulted her ; and to day we have to record the death of the wretched young man by his own hand. He was sent to Walton Jail, where, on Thursday night, he hung himself with his suspenders. The jury, on a full investigation of the case, found a verdict of "Feld de se," The body of the wretched youth was con signed to the earth last night, without any ceremony, and in accordance with the act in that ease made rand pro vided. The second ing - tast was held on the body of James Stewart, an engine -fitter, in the employment of Mr. Jack. The deceased was found dead on the Clarence Graving dock quay, and on a full investigation it was found that death was the result of natural causes, as he had com• plained for a long time of his throat. The jury fund accordingly. On the body of a child named Mar2aret Jamieson, fire months old, that was accidentally suffuca:ed in bed. •Verdict accordingly. CONSTANTINOPLIE, August 26.—The , Divan has ordered the new elections far Moldavia. They are to take piece within fif een days. Ma. Tuouts COOPER.— We observe, in the Freeman, an announcement that Th)mas Coerar, author of " The Purgatory of Suicides," has renounced his former scepticil view:3, and is engaged in lecturing in support of 'Christianity. Ile still occ•ipies his place as .a lecturer in the Hall of Science, and be , has announcal a series of I , e!ures, in which he will crib trovert the views of the German rationalist Strauss, and seek to show she credibility of the evangelical narrative. The Freeman gives a statement of his views on sever,' points of doctrine, as he explained them in two or three of his recent lectures, and adds: " There is in Mr. Cooper an intellectual and moral power, with an obri:us integrity of purpose, which hi s former friends can but respect ; to the shrewd, refitctive and yet doubting few arnlng the people, he is what =Spurgeon is to the im;:ulsive many. It should be remembered that Thomas Cooper, though ones among the doubters, was nerer among the scoffere. He was too , Earnest a man for that." Tag CHICORY QUESTIIN,—A Hann CASE.—A t Brighton an information has been laid at the instanca of -the Commissioners of Inland Revenue against the de fendant Manion, a grocer, in Chaapside, for having in his possession one quarter of a pound of chicory, prepared and ma u4faeturt d to resemble coffee, by which elefa:dant had rendered himself li4ble to a penalty of 1001. Mrs. Munioa appeare. l , and stated that her husband was too ill to attend, and, i i fact, he knew nothing about it, as th e she attended to that part of th e b us i ness. After hearing case, . Bigge said the bcnc s i had no alternative but to convict, and the defendant must be fired in the lowest penalty of 25/. This was an extremaly hard ease, inasmuch as the dttendant was not aware of the. adultera tion himself, that having been in the coffee before it came into his possession. The poor man could not pay the fin ,, . The Mayor said 'a r.commendation would go np from the Bench to the Board of Inland Revenue, on a memorial being presented to the magistrates. It was an extremely hard case, and he felt satisfied the law never contemplated that they should keep up a large and expensive - establishment for the purpose only of going to small dealers, when there were plenty of large dialers whom they might Visit, and where they might make their experiments. It was a very hard CAM (Applause in Court.) PUBLICANS AND BEER SELLERS. THE PIKE WATER. ~_ _ Ti 3 THE EDITCR OP THE NORTHERN TIMEL. Sir,—lt is gratifying to me as an or2pontrat of the Pike scheme from its first introdu , Aion, at the time one of the great spirits of the town was extinguished by death, (the late Dr. Harbourd), from the fearful struggle he had to encounter in the opposition of Mr. Alderman Reime, and other philanthropists who have enforced their views upon us, to find after so severe a struggle and fair testing of the scheme, right is about to be done 'iu the matter, and that the Water Com mittee will be induced to restore to us who are the rightful owners—the well water, of which we have been so unjustly deprived. Mr Duncan in his report informs us that he cannot conceal his conviction that the water will not be agreeable to the inhabitants of Liverpool, and admits that the source of its impurity is in the collecting ground, which has always been asserted, by the opponents of the scheme as the great objec tion to the water for drinking purposes; therefore, let there be no more doctoring nor jobbing. Our thanks are due to Mr. 'John Stewart for his very reasonable and temperate rebuke of those who are always for staving off, and—as Mr. Jeffery truly describes—dishonouring their repeated promises to the public on this question. The fact is, the Water Committee stand convicted either of obstinate and pertinacious oppositon to the unmistakeable wishes of the town, or incapacity, and if they were blessed with refined sensibility would resign the trust they have so much abused. No thanks are due to Mr. Alderman Holme for any change in his views—those who know him are aware that he does not stick at trifles to promote his own purposes—he is a thoroughly good hater, and spits his own venom right and left if he thinks he can do so with impunity. His assertion in the council that only one newspaper had acted upon the public mind in denounciug the wrong of tampering with the public health by supplying water unfit for use, he must have known to be untrue. Now, sir. although I have always admired the spirited and independent manner in which the NORTHERN TIMES is conducted, I am also aware that the Daily Post has done good service to the public upon the water supply, and its full and com plete censure of late, and for a considerable time past, is undeniable, to say nothing of the other newspapers, hiehwhave opposed the Water Com mittee. But Mr. Alderman Holme surely does not forget—in fact he cannot forget—that in the earlier stage of this controversy, the Mercury was as much opposed to the Pike scheme, as the Post or the Northern Times is, or ever was, and that through its instrumentality he and many others who opposed public opinion at that time, lost their seats in the Town Council. It is notorious the change that took place whoa that paper changed hands ; and most people are aware that it was bought almost purposely to affect the water question—so the less said by its advocates about the influence of the Press the better for them. I trust, Sir, that justice will yet be done to some who have been sadly persecuted and fearfully injured by Mr. Holme and others, for their honest adherence to truth and the public interest.—l am, sir, yours respectfully, RED SANDSTONE 4th September, 1837. A CORK MAN SPEAK 71t OF acts S UTH AUSTRALIAN PA lILIAME NT.—The Parliament of South Australia assem bled this year, elected George Strlekland Kingston, Esq., of Adelaide, as Speaker. Mr. Kingston is from Cork county, and is connected by marriage with Bandon.—Cork Reporter. CAPE OF GOOD RiPE.—POST-OFFICE NOTICE.—The following notice has been issued by the PoAmaster- General, viz. :—The contractor `for the Cape of Good Hope, &c., mail service, has reported to the Admiralty that there wilt not be a packet to carry the mails, which in due course should be despatched from Dartmouth on the 6th instant. Tile public are recommended, therefore, to address their letters for the Cape of Good Hope by private ship. Mariataoas TN Inez iND.—The marriages registered in 1856 were 782, or 8 92 per cent. over the number registered in the previous year ; in the Established Church they increased 397, or 8 per cant.; in the Presbyterian Church, 116, or 4.76 per cent. ; and in the Registrars' Offices, 264, or 20 per cent• over those returned in 1855. In 1856 there was an increase in the proportion of male and female minors married; a decrease is the proportion of widowers, and a slight increase in that of widows married; and an increase in the proportion of both males and females who signed the register of marriages with a mark. THE CHAPLAINCY OF THE ItHISE OP COMEONS.—The Rev. Henry Drury, M A., prebendary of Salisbury and vicar of Bremhill, near Chippenhatn, will be the new chaplain to the House of Cunmons, in the roam of the Rev. Thomas Gamier, B.C.L , recor of Trinity Church, Marylebone, who has held the appointment for nine years. An announcement which has appeared in some of the papers that Mr. Gamier had resigned is not strictlyscorrect, the fact being that the Speaker intends availiag himself of the privilege which has been exercised by his predecessors on their elevation to the chair, that of personally appoint ing the chaplain to the House of Commons, prior to the commencement of the next scssoa of Parliament. Mr. Drury was appointed to his preheudal stall and to the vicarage of Bremhill by the I ate Bishop of Salisbury, the Speaker's brother. IRISH FISHERIES.—The Irish Fishery C ammission report that the sea fishery still continues in a languid and de. pressed state; and E zcept where railways and steam vessels afford facilitiss for the safe and speedy transmission of fish to market, the coast fisheries are no t wor k e d with that energy and vigour which might be expected from the amply remuerative prices afforded by the Dublin and other markets. The salmon fisheries are steadily increasing in value; and in most cases are in a prosperous and flourish ing condition. The reports from the Boards of Conserva tors show that the working of the fishery laws has occupied considerabe care and attention. But the commissioners recommend a consolidation of the six Fishery Acts into one; not with a view of effecting or altering the peinciple contained in the Acts; but for the purpose of rendering that plain and palpable which is at present couched obscure and ambiguous terms; and also to obtiate the necessity of referring to six Acts, through which the legis lation on fisheries has scattered that which might. with great convenience, be couclensed and simplified into one.

Some few weeks back we reported an accident that hap. peeed to Mrs. W, Divas from a pony running away. Mr. lasiward Challen, a young man who carries on the business of a butcher in this place, bought the pony, although he was much cautioned not to do so, as it was known to be very vicious. Oa Monday he drove into Pet worth and invited his two sisters, who were on a visit to Miss Rothwell, to go for a Ihtle ride. They consented to do so, and came to his home for him, and on his return, when goin g down the steep hill l ea di ng b y the rectory, the pony beg en kicking and bolted ; and at. the bottom the oar?: turning towards Pet worth went over, throwing them with fearful violence against the opposite wall.

" R-liess ter et amplitv, Quos inupta tenet coppla." THE NORTHERN TIMES. LIVERPOOL SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1857, A YANKEE IN LONDON. Some clever Yankee just now sijonrning in the British mltropolis, writes some agreeable gossip to the Boston Courier. • • Not having anything particular to do, I was looking over the Times in the reading room, when a tail distinguished-looking individual, with that indescribaVe bloodeci" appearance which characterises high birth and aristocratic breeding, evidently noticing that I was a stranger there, entered into conversation with me. Now I flitter myself that I am rather a decent speciman of a Yankee, and you m:y depend on it that I Lail my self out to give my companion a notion that I was " some pumpkins." "You are an American, I presume," remarked my f lend." " You'd better belore it," said I. " Traveling for pleasure, probably," he continued, with a conle , ,cendingly familar air ? - " Not all out," I replied ; and then in as dexterous a way as I could I slid into the " patent explosive' affair, when I perceived that in an instant that the stranger's attention was redoabled. After a little while he informed me that I was conversing with Major General Sir Colin Campbell, who had but rnent,ly accepted the past of Generalissimo, and was, as he informed me, only waiting for his " kit" to be packed to start for India. [Se, then, the fi-st real face-to-face introduction we Yaukees are to have to the Llindoos,' is to be through the friendly medium of a 'patent explosive'—is it ?] " Ever since my interview with Sir Colin, I have been a person of no small pretensions in the eyes of the flunky, ho t, and his menials ; for on spreading abroad the cir cumstance, I have been absolutely flooded with calls from the nobility of all nations. As I was lounging in my room this morning, with my slippered feet comfortably resting on the man•le, a waiter entered, and with a look of laugh ab!e bewilderment handed me a card on a silver salver, 1 looked at it, and without altering my position read ; His Royal Highness Prince Albert, aal Lord Renfrew,' the latter being the travelling name of the Prince of Wales. Show'en3 up, my man,' said I, cooly turning my head back to the astonished waiter. In a few moments they entered, and a pleasanter chat I never had in my life than the half hour's converse that ensued. I found his Royal Highness to be a person of extreme sound sense ; and for se green a young fellow the Prince struck me as possessing a considerable share of rough ability, which may be unulded into somethieg, by and by." [lf the Courier's c3rreepandent should enjoy the satisfaction' of an introduction to Eugenie the Empress, the fellow has impudence enough to ask her out to take a walk '—to join him in a polka' —or some other evilly preposterous proceeding. Or if he goes to Rome. we think we can see him solicit to kiss that por tion of his Holiness' extremities, which Webster defines as One of the small members which form the ex tremity of the foot, corresponding to a fiager on the hand.'] A very singular incident occurred during our inter view, and one which in a g rea t d egree confirmed the popular opi' ion on the subj7ct. A tall, elegant servant, in the gorgeous scarlet livery of the Crown, entered the room, and informed the Prince that her Majesty the Queen had followed him in one of the royal carriages, and wished to know if it would b 3 canvenient for him to see her for a moment. "Just as usual," said the Prince in a slightly pettish accent, "can I never have a quiet half hour ? Tell her Majesty that I shall be with her directly." The magni ficient servitor bowed land retired gracefully, with his back to the door. " May I ask hnw your lady is, your Royal Highness ?'' said I wishing to be po!ite. "Never better," he replizd. "By th 3 way I will have great pleasure in presenting you to her if you will take the trouble to walk down with me." Uoon my apologizing for the dressing gown and slip pers, " Oh, never mind that," said he pleasantly, ° that is a trait of national independence which she will be pleased to see." ' 'Yes come along old fellow," the young scion of royalty exclaimed, "mother aint 89 deucedly particular as our rather stiff caurt journalists would have you to believe." Entirely assured by the frank and cordial manner of their Royal highnesses I consented at onv, and had the supreme satisfacion of walkiu; down that superb stair case lined by surprised lecqueys, having for my supporters the Prince Consort on ine silo and the future monarch of G:eit Britain on the other. I couldn't help langhing when the former quietly whispered in my ear, " I am devilish glad that you are coming with us, old boy, for it is just as well that my wife should see thAt my visit has been to one of the masculine went. In a few seconds we reached the entrance of the hate', where stood the nalgnificient carriage of her Majesty, to which were harnessed fon. Arabian steeds of the mo't matchless blood and form. When we arrived at the door of the carriage, the Prince courteously introdacdl ma to her Majesty, who extended her gloved hand thrJugh the window and gave me a friendly shake. She is a n;ce, plump, good-boking woman, and for the mother of 83 many children, very well preserved. The young Prince wanted me to run and get my coat and hat and take a short drive with them, but I endd perceive that her Majesty checked him with an admonitory bok, and inasmuch as I shrewdly suspected that they had some private calls t) snake, of course my natural pureness inclined me to excuse myself. You must 0 , 4, forget, however, said the Prince as they were driving off, 'to come to the Palace laJore yo'l leave town and take pot luck with us. We always dice with the children at one. Au revolt!" [Au revoir ! indeed. It is high tim).] A general public prayer meeting on account of the calamities in India was hell at the instance of the local clergy in the Town—hall, Birmingham, OH Tuesday evening. Upwards of 3,200 persons wets present, every Seat being filled, and l arge num b ers standing. Tho Rev. Dr. Miller presded, and was surrounded by the Revs, W. Corkin, G. S. 8011, J. 13. Gabriel, E. IL Gifford, E. Lillingston, F. Morse. J. B. Marsden, J. Eagles, and a very large body of the local clergy. An address was delivered by the chairman, and prayers offered by the Revs. F. Morse. W. Cockin, George Pettitt, and E. Liiiingston. Portions of Scripture were read by the Revs. J. Eagles and E. Li'lings'on, and hymns given out by the Revs. T. St. Hill and H, S Humphreys. The whole proceedings were very imp-essive. The chairman stated that the Hon. and Rev. G. M. York, the rural dean, who was announced to preside, has lost a nephew before the walls of Delhi, the son of the Hon. and Von. Archdeacon Henry Yorke. WIVEi £6 13s 4D A mato IN ENGLAND.--The economy in ttis " article which no gentleman's house should be without," has been brought to great nerfectiou in the sister country. It appears that the Justice who " ad ministers the law '° indifferently" at Clei kenwell, measured the bail flr a surgeon who had three wives, then living, at .£2O, assessing the charms of each fair one at the figure obJva quoted. Whether his worship compassionated the too uxorious dispasition of the pisoner, agreeing with the learned naturalistb's address to the nightingale that "The polygamous ne'er knew the jays That wait on pure mouygamy." or, if he rather conceived it cruel to urge the law against one who only coveted too much bliss, we caaruit say. He probably thought with Horace, At all events, by whatever motive instigated, he allowed the hushanl, who, we trust - , is by this time like Arty Bel , airing his Preach at Boalogne, to depart upon these extremely moderate terms. We really do not see the ne cessity for Divorce Bills, when ma;istratss can give the relief sought so cheaply and effectually. In seriousness, it seems most monstrous that a magistrate should dismiss a man ch irged with an offence, involving punishment of transportation for life, up)n such flimsy securiiy.—Cork Reporter. THE SICK CUR ITE.--" Ah," said Mrs. Pettifer, a it's a thousand pities his father and sister can't come and live with him, if he isn't to marry. Bat I wish with all my heart he could have taken to soma nice woman as would h zva made a comfortable home for him. I used to think he might take to Eiiza Pratt; she's a goad girl, and very pretty; but I see no likelihood of it now," "1 2 1 , ,'d need •have somebody, young or old," observed Mrs. Linnet, "to sea as he wears a flannel wescoat, au' chang—s his stockins when ho comes in. It's my opinion he's got that cough wi' sittiu' i' the wet shoes an' s'ockins; an' that Mrs. Wag - staff's a poor addl e -h ea d e d thing; she doesn't half tek care on him." "0, mother !" said Rebecca, "she's a very pious wom an . A n d I' m sure she thinks it too great a privilege to have Mr. Tryan with her, not to do the beet she can to mike him comfortable. She can't help her rooms being shabby." I have no'hing t ) say again' her piety, my dear ; but I knew very well I shouldn't like her to cask my victual.

'IISFORC MR. J. S. JEFFREY, jOlll5 nARRISON WIcSIIAst AGIIN.—On Me 17th of July last, the above named person, who is the proprietor of the American Hotel in Limo-street, and whose name, in connection with the police office informations, has been so frequently before the pnbliteduring the past week, appeared by hie attorney, Mr. Blackhurst, at the Police Court, to answer a summons taken out for the alledged offence of permitting drunkenness in his house on the 17th of July. Mr. Jeffery : What is the nature of the informatirn ? Mr. Wybergh : This case has stood over for some time. An infermation was laid against him for permitting drunken ness The reason it has stood over so long is, that previous to that he had been summoned for a like offence, i§hich case stood over to be heard at the sessions. That case has been disposed of by the jury, and the defendant was acquittpl. This case was to await the decision of the former, and as Inspector Wilson says it is even weaker than that, perhaps this information had therefore bettor be withdeawn. Mr. Jeffery I think so. The informa • tion was consequently withdrawn. Some old offending beerhouse keepers were !ned in a mitigated penalty, and cautioned as to their future conduct. VIE POLICE SPY SYSTEM AND TEE PUPLICANS. DISMISSAL OF ALL THE INFORMA.TIONS FOR SUNDAY TRADING. Yesterday, three publicans, and eleven baer•house keepers, were summoned before the magistrates for keeping their premises open for the silo of liquors between twelve o'clock on Saturday night, aid one o'clock on the Sunday, by which they had rendered themselves liable to a penalty. Mr. J. R. Jeffery was the presiding magistrate in the court in which the cases were heard. The first case called on was that against Adam Patterson, a prtblican of Parliament street. Pelice-constable 554 stated, en Sunday morning he visited the house. On going up the adjoining entry he heard a noise at the door, and saw some person leaving it. The defendant was selling drink, and had the money in his hand. He then went into the house, where he saw some disreputable characters. They were drinking, and a - female had the bottle behind her back, and - 3d. was on the counter. Mr. Block, who appeared br the defendant : —How were you dressed ? The Constable : I was in plain clothes. Mr. Blink : What sort of clothes had you on ? The Constable : Ihat does not matter? Mr. Bluck : But it does matter, and I will have an answer. 'What sort of clothes had you on? The Constable : That has nothing to do with the case. Mr. Black : I will have an answer. Surely you are not so rich in elothes as not to know whether you had a black or what coloured suit you bad on. The Constable : That has nothing to do with the marter.

The Constable : Ido not know ; it has never been fined by me Mr. Jeffery : I shall di miss this CAM Ido not think it is fair for a constable to go in plain clothes and get such information. The Constable : We can't help it. We are obliged to do as our superior officers instruct us. Mr. Jeffery : i I wish it to be understood that while I sit on this bench, I shall dismiss every case in which the constable has visited the home in plain clothes. The Constable : We were all in plain clothes. Mr. Jeffery : Suppose this case be as ycu have stated it, would you not have found the same out if you had been in plain uniform, a 3 if you had been in plain clothes. Tne Constabla : No sir—There is always a watch kept, and if we go in uniform we can't get near the hone before all the parties are dispersed. Mr. Jeffery : Then you really are a terror to evil doers. That is what the police force was established for. The Ccnstable : We are sent out in plain clothes, and we must do our duty, and we can't help it. Mr. Jeffery : It is clear that 'your uniform is a terror to evil deers. It was for that object that the police was established, I wish it to bs known that I will never sanc tion their g)iug in plain clothes fir the purpose of entrap pun- persons. The case was then dismissed.

A RJMANCE OF THE LATE Wan.—The Military Tri• banal siding in Paris has just had to decide on a singular cane of desertion. A soldier of the 50th Regiment of the line, who had been made prisoner by the Russians, married at °Jesse. Hi allowed himself to be reported as dead, and returning to France after the war, with his wife, established himself. at Montmartre. lia was, however, denounced, and brought to ttial for desertion. H. Oudot, who defended him before the court, brought forward this singular case in support of his client :—" A detachment of the corps d'armee of Davonst eccupif•d the Isle of Rugen. Au order arrived for its instant evacuation, and the troops embarked with such great precipitation that a sentinel was forgotten. After continuing three hours at his post, he went to the guard-house, to ascertain the cat se of his net having been relieved, and found the place empty, and was horror struck at bearing what had taken place; he exclaimed, 'I am a lost man. I shall be put dawn as a deserter.' His cries touched the heart of an honest artisan, who took him home, and at the end of a few months gave him his daughter in marriage. Five years afterwards a sail approached the island, and the uniform of the gr:nd army were seen on her deck. The poor soldier w,s row more concerned than ever; IP.it an idea occurred to Lim which restored his courage. He ran to his house ' put on his old uniform, an d taking his musket; placed himself as sentinel just as the French landed. 'Q ti viva.' cried he, with a thundering voice. 'Rai vive, vous-tneine?' was the-reply. ' Who eve you ?' ' A sentinel. "How long have you been on guard?" Five se are.' Davoust laughed heartily at bearing of the incident, and immediately gave the involuntary deserter his dis charge." The Court was amused at the anecdote, but it Allowed itself less generous than Davoust, and sent the voltigeur to his regiment to complete his time of service. WHAT IS PAID FOR HUMAN FOLLY.

At the Guildhall, on Thursday, Jean Baptist Vavasseur was brought up for further examination relative to the charge of conspiracy, with one Riviera, not in custody, to obtain goods to the value of nearly £5O, with intent to de fraud Messrs. Milligan and Co., of Bradford, in Yorkshire. The prisoner, it appeared, applied at the London branch of the prosecutor's firm in Newgate-street, for some alpaca goods, and having selected forty pounds worth, he then inquired what the terms were, and on being informed that they were for cash only, the prisoner gave the names of three references, and promised to call again and pay far the goods. On the following morn ing he sent a man named Riviera for six pieces of alpaca, value .424, but some objection being made by the ware houseman to send the good, Riviere left for the purpose of bringing Vavasseur, and in a few minutes he returned with the prisoner, who said he wanted the six pieces of alpaca to send to Belgium for samples. The warehouseman accord ngly delivarel the six pieces at the prisoner's ware house, 2:.,, Ha-p -lane, where he found Riviere, and in com ing out he saw the prisoner going in. On the following or next day the prisoner called again, but as the waoshouse man had received instructions from Mr. Green, the manager of the London house, to detain the prisoner if he came again, he invited him into the counting house, and showed him goods to the value of about 801., and when at length the prisoner wished to leave, he found the ware houseman had locked the counting house door, and he therefore seized the poker to force the lock, and attempted to escape by the window, but failing, he paced the room in a passion, alternately swearing at the warehouseman, and bagging him to let him go. After two hours had thus elapsed, Mr. Green returned, and called the prisoner a great rascal, and insisted upon the goods being returned or the money being paid. The prisoner, however, treated the idea with contempt; and extending the fingers of both hands from the tip of his nose, he desired him to take what is commr.nly called "a sight." He also intimated his notion of the absurdity of expecting either goods or money by biting his thumb at Mr. Green, who thereupon gave him into custody. On being searched, a letter was found on him addressed by the Bradford firm to him, declining to do business wi h hint without a cash remit tance, unless he could furnish references who were known in the trade. There was also a letter addressed to Miss Burdett Coutts, and signed with the prisoner's name, as the Baron de Vavasseur. Evidence was also given to show that the prisoner, in company with Riviere, took the six pieces of Alpacas withia a few ho irs after he received them to Attenborough's, in Greek-street, Soho, where he pledged them for £l4. The prisoner was then committed for trial.

A MAN SHor.—lt is oar painful duty to say that, on Wednesday evening a most inoffteasive young man was shot dead close to the town of Cones, on his return from Hilton Park, where the poor fellow was participating in the enjoyments of the day. It appears that Muldoon (the young man who was killed) was walking, linked with a neighbour of his name! Rennick, and on his other side walked another ne i g hb anr . T here was a considerable concourse of people on the road ; and when they reached the canal bridge at Clones, a caravan came up to them, off which seine person got. After walking a few yards, the report of a pistol W 43 heard, and Muldoon cried out That he was shot, staggered a few paces. and fell dead This homicide cannot be in any way attributed to malice or intent to kill. A pistol was discharged in wanton bravo ; it was loaded with a ball, and unfortunately, a man was killed. It is also an unpleasant circumstance, that the person suspected of firing the shot is a Protestant, and tha deceased a Roman Catholic ; hence an attempt has been made to fix a party or sectarian character to the affair. But this we deny. Rennick, who was walking linked with Mundoon, is a Protestant ; aid, in the dark nets of the night, he may thank the interposing hand of Providence that it was not he who was the victim.. Immediately after the fatal event an investigation was held before John -Br,;dy, Esq , J. P., and Henry Kirwin, Esq., S.I. Some vvitnesses were examined; the spot where the death took place eras searched, and a pistol found, which was identified as the property of a person named M‘Gowan, a journeyman baker, tiring in Clones—NonaghamStandarct THE ENTENTE CORDIALE.
