A STERN POLICEMAN.

A London letter says :—A variety of gossip is of
course floating about with respect to the review of
Saturday last. There is, amongst other things, the
story of a policeman which rivals the well-known anec-
dote about Napoleon and the sentry. It seems Mrs.
Herbert, the wife of the War Minister, be it
remembered, was driving into the park in order to
proceed to the royal stand, where she had a place.
Her ticket was demanded ; she had none—the Duke
of Cambridge, she vainly pleaded, had told her
that for her none would be necessary. Thegboliceman,
however, was inexorable. His order was that no
one without a ticket should pass, and that was enough
for him. In vain did a colonel of one of the regiments of
Guards remonstrate ; in vain did a general officer subse-
quently endeavour to use his authority. The man in blue
was not to be browbeat by the man in scarlet, and,
much to her chagrin, the lady was obliged to drive
away. The demand. for tickets was, as you know,
enormous—much larger than the supply, although I
understand that the latter was largely increased by a
very considerable forgery of these documents. Nothing
could, in fact, be more easy. For, in the absence of any
seal or signature, any printer in London would have
turned out as many as were required. Moreover, the
general public got the benefit of a large packet destined
for the use of the members of the House of Commons,
which got mysteriously lost on their way from the Board
of Works to the House. Still, with all these aids, the supply
was so deficient, that Holywell-street was ransacked for
old uniforms, by donning which a large number of
persons obtained admission to the enclosed space allotted
to soldiers and volunteers in uniform. When the old-
clothes shops were exhausted, some determined sight-
seers even had recourse to the old Chelsea pensioners;
and young men of 24 or 25 were not afraid of the
laughter they provoked by appearing as worn-out
veterans.

THE TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN LONDON,

The name of the murderer is Antonio I)herand,
about 35 years of age, and a tailor by trade.
Accompanied by his wife, a young woman named
Caroline, aged 24, an Englishwoman, and very
good-looking, they took a top-floor at the house
of Mr. Dolla, who occupies the ground-floor only,
the two intervening floors being empty. The
head of the murdered woman had been thrown
in a coal cupboard, previously having been
wrapped in a towel, evidently for the purpose of
being conveyed away. It was found that
attempts had been made to sever the legs and
arms of the murdered woman from her body.
Jealousy is alleged as the motive for the murder.
On an examination of Dherand's body there was
found punched in ink on his breast the words,
"death to an unfaithful woman ;" also a good
likeness in ilia: of the Emperor Napoleon.

LATEST PARTICULARS..
It is supposed that the unfortunate, deceased was
deprived of her life on the Saturday, since which day
neither she nor the man wllO lived with her has been
seen by their landlord, Their non-appearance caused
some little;anxioty, but nothing had been indicated by the
man to laad to the supposition that he contemplated the
czime of murder, and it was only when Brown, 128 D,
called that the awful discovery was made. Another fact
which induced the belief that the murder was committed
on Saturday last is, that the body was approaching
decomposition. Both arms and both thighs were hacked
as if lay a saw. The body had no clothes, nor any sort
of covering on it, and it is supposed that the murderer
intended thus to separate the limbs from the body, and
afterwards to dispose of them somewhere, In this,
however, he failed and left the house. Upon searching
the room a saw quite new was found, this being believed
to be the instrument with which amputation was com-
menced. The name of the luau is stated to be Durange.
He was a tailor by trade, and was employed by an este-
-I.4islimeht, at the West-end. He is about thirty-five years
of age. The female is supposed to be an Englishwoman,
and is about twenty-five years of age. There is some
reason to believe that the unfortunate man has been to
Liverpool. He was paid his weekly wages on Satur-
day. The abode of the unfortunate matt was ascertained
from the circumstance that on a pitce of paper found on
him by Turner, one of the coroner's officers for St.
George's, Hanover-square, on which was written 376,
Oxford-street, he su,ppesed that he might be known there

WORKING MEN'S COLLEGE, GREAT ORMOND-STREET,
LONDON.—A conversazione was held on Wednesday,
at the above-mentioned institution, which commanded
a numerous attendance. The rooms were decorated
with evergreens and ttowers, and a number of photo-
graphs and drawings (the work of the students) were
exhibited This college, established some five or six
years ago through the efforts of the Rev. P. D. Maurice,
the Rev. L. Davies, Mr. Ludlow, Mr. Ruskin, Mr. Fur-
uival, and other gentlemen well known to the public for
their efforts in the cause of educational progress amongst
the working classes, has been silently, but certainly not
undeservedly, working its way into, favour, and we can
now class it with the most succesafull movements of the
day. Connected with the college is a Working Men's
Rifle Corps, numbering about 300, one of the most
active members being Captain Hughes, author of " Tom
Brows Scheel Dap." A promising featute relating to
the volunteer movement is the fact that several of the
officers in this corps are really and temo,ficle working
men.
A eetrwe-se WISRERMA.N.—AIways anxious to find
out new costumes, I was surprised one morning while
at Amoy •by seeing a Chinaman clad differently to
the usual custom; down I posted, sketch-book in
hand, to the well where he was. A closer inspection
only confirmed my curiosity ; these was no making out
the dress ; at last, upon examination, it proved to be
an emblem of his calling ; he was a washerman.
His
head was covered with a. turban ; his body was enfolded
in a comfottable English jersey, and the nether
extrennties were protected from the cold, keen,
inorth-easter by—a lady's flannel petticoat. There was
no mistake about it ; the name was legibly written
thereon ; and, horror of horrors! he held in his hand
a benutiful lace bertha (is not that the name ?),
whieli he alternately rubbed with soap, then scrubbed
it upon a piece of rough granite. I wish the
owner had seen him ! These fellows play sad havoc
with foreign wardrobes ; one would require almost two
wives to keep an adequate supply of buttons, •We
caused no little excitement among the foreign ladies
upon reporting the occurrence, givi no, clue to the
name; but they quickly singled out the unhappy owner
of the lace as the latest errixall; the older residents were
too wary to run such riolis---2147sive Years in C9sinu.
