the 16th of April, between an Englishman anti at':
American. .These disgraceful exhibitions could hardly
take place in this locality if the directors of the railway
were to follow the example of the South-eastern direc-
tors and refuse the combatants and their friends special
trains." The chief constable also, addressing the magis-
trates. said he should like steps to be taken to prevent
the lidlligetents ilslting the
,Tale. During the last five
years, be added, the local ilolide eVegses,lueurred solely

locality selected for the approaching tight is at the
junction of three counties, near Littleport, and he sug-
gested that a letter should be written to the directors of
the Eastern Counties Railway asking them not to grant
a special train for the purpose of conveying the parties

THE AMERICAN WIEA LE FISli Eat .----,liefetringto the
American whale fishery for 1859, the Peterhead Sentinel
says :—" The result is not so satisbictory as iiie fiiid ttit:
tieipated ; indeed, it will be seen that there are indica-
tions of a gradual decline. Going back seven years, we
lind,that the number of vessels was nearly 670 ; on the
Ist Jan., 1860, it was only 571, showing a decrease, as
compared with the previous year, of 54 vessels, with an
aggregate of 18,066 tons; and it is calculated that
there will be as great a falling off during the current
year, The whole imports for 1859 were as follows :
--44peitti, ' 9,111 - tons ; whale, 19,011 tons ; bone,
1,923,8501 b. Fruni this it appears that there has been an
excess over the year 18,58 --4 n sperm of :NO bills; vihalei.
819 tons ; and in bone, 383,2501 b. The exhorts of. ott
and bone were :---Sperm, 5,221 tons; whale 818 tolls ;,
and bone, 1,707;9291b.- This shows that the export of
oil in 1859 largely exceeds that of 1858, while that of
ciihrtle has heels light. As regards prices, the average of
whale oil Was,. in 18583 2s. 3d. ; and in 1859, 2s. O.W.
per gallon. • IlDuring the same periods the prices in tills
country were respectively 2s. 9d. and t,s. sd. per gallon.
In America sperm oil, in 1858, was ss. sd. ; arid in
1859, ss. Bd. per gallon, against 7s. to Bs. in this coun-
try. There is a steady and increasing demand for sperm
oil, we are informed, both in America and Europe, and
it is calculated that the price will go on increasing.
OBTAINING SITUATIONS BY FALSE OBARACTERS•
A Young French woman, who gave the name of Marie
Julie VintY, Was charged, at the Hammersmith Police
Court, with obtaining a situation, in the service
of . Mr. Little, a gentleman residing in ' Onslow-
square, Brompton, by Means of a false character: The
prisoher pretended she could not understand English,
althdugh Mr. Little stated she could speak it very
well. An interpreter was, however, procured. Mr.
Little then said that on the 15th of December last the
prisoner applied for a situation as lady's maid in his
funnily, when she produced two papers ; one purporting
to be a certificate signed by the Count de Lisbourne,
and sealed with his crest., stating that Cie prisoner had
lived in his service for six years, and left in consequence
of the death of the countess. The other document was a
letter from the count, confirming the c atitieate, in a
style that might be more agreeable to an English lady:-
She also said that she had been but ten days in England.
Witness was so well satisfied with these documents, that
lie engaged her, but in a few days two ladies called upon
her, and when he asked who they were, she said it was
a Mathne Bernard, the wife of a hair-dresser, whom
she had known while with the Countess de Lisbourne

He then received a letter from Lady John Somerset,Who
was, in fact, the lady who called to see the prisoner. In
consequence of the letter, he called upon Lady Somerset,
when he was informed by her that the prisoner had been
in her service a few days, by means of a false character,
and that she lost £7O or £BO worth of lace, and that she
believed the prisoner had been in service in Ireland. He re-
turned home, and told the prisoner he had found out who
Madame Bernard was. She then became very much excited,
and said that as he had found her out, she would tell hilts
everything. She said the false character was written
by an American gentleman, with whom she had been
acquainted in Paris ; but when asked for the documents
she made excuses of having lust them. After this wit-
n'ss sent her out of the house, after examining her
boxes, which however contained nothing belonging to
his family. After she had left he missed severalartieles
of wearing apparel, and he then gave information to the
police. Upon making inquiries he found that the pri-
soner had been in the service of the Rev. Mr. Percival
in Ireland, and that he had her from Paris. In conse-
quence of her conduct being so bad he was compelled
to discharge her and hand her over to the French
Consul in Dublin. Subsequently a gentleman named
O'Connor, living in .Roscommon, took her front
the consul, and in a few days afterwards Mrs.
O'Connor missed a gold watch and chain from her.
dressing-room. Witness had communicated with Mr.
O'Connor, and had received a description of the. gold
watch. A gold watch had been found in her possession
by Sergeant Williamson, and it corresponded with the
one Mrs, O'Connor bad lost. The prisoner had gone
by several names, and he believed that her real name
was Judliw. Since she had left him she hall obtained a
situation in the service of at lady on Haverstock-hill, tit
which place she was taken into custody. She went by
the name ofNeader in that situation. Sergeant William_
