inspector Dirtier, of the A &visual, having brought
home the offence to more than a dozen of the boys, urged
upon his worship the absolete necessity of inflicting heavy
punishment upon the defeedants, by way of example, and
is the hope** suppressing a nuisance which had become
perfectly intolerable. Persons of all classes and both sexes
were complaining every day to the police of the annoyance
and injury which they had experienced. On Sunday after-
noon some hundreds of boys collected together in the Inelo.
sure of St. James's-park, and commenced pelting ladies,
gentlemen, and children, until a riot ensued. The few
keepers on duty in the park attempted to capture some of
the worst of the offenders, but they were speedily over-
powered and pelted in return. He (Inspector Durkin)
proceeded to the bolo/ere, with several of the constables
of his division, who, although attacked in the same manner,
succeeded in amok:ending the defendants.
Mr. Jardine said, is all cases where moults of this kind
upon the police were proved, he would commit to prison
without the option of paying a fine, and to the astonish-
ment and dismay of the boys, five of thorn were committed
for eight days. The others were fined 11. each, or impri-
sonment la default.

In September last, William Fellows, a youth of good
address and maser, who appeared to be in great distress,
applied to Mr. Conte for assistance. He had some to
London from New York, with the consent of his parents,
who had fallen into distress, for the purpose of procuring a
situation and geeing " a little of the world." He failed ill
getting any employment, and having spent all his money he
for a considerable time wandered about the street, in a
state of destitution, sleeping occasionally on steps of doors,
and otherwise bandied about by the parishes until he be-
came tired of his life. In this strait, be was urged to apply
to this court for sasistanee gad some means to enable him
to return to his native land. Mr. Conic, feeling a sym-
pathy for his miserable condition, suggested that if be (ap-
pliant) could satisfy him that he was " a citizen of
America," and could get part of hie passage money from
the American consul, he (Mr. Conic) would give the re-
mainder. The poor lad did call on the consul, who verified
that he was &native of New York, but declined assisting to
pay his pausge back. Oa hearing the latter statement, Mr.
Currie humanely advanced the passage money, and he was
shipped trout the docks for New Yoik under the superin-
tendence of Mr. Moran, an officer of the court. The case
having appeared at the time in the morning papers, " A
Citizen of New York," in acknowledgment of Mr. Curie's
kindness to the poor boy, sent a liberal subecription to the
poor-box. Within the last few day% Mr. Carrie handed to
our reporter the following letter, which he had received
from the lad :
"Mr. Currie—Dear Sir,—According to promise I made
you, when I left London, to write a few lines, I will now
take this favourable opportunity of so doing. I arrived
home safe and well after a long and rather tedious passage
,of nearly six weeks, had some rough and stormy weather,
but all passel u well as could be expected. M parents
had been looking out for me some days before I d,
having received a letter that °attained the news of my
leaving London and the ship I was to come in; they were
very glad to see me. When I told them how unfortunate
I had been they were very much astonished, and asked me
how I managed to get on as well se I did for so long a time.
They expressed their thanks, and felt themselves under
great obligations towards you in being so kind and feeling
towards one in my situation. I feel eta loss myself to find
words to express my thanks and friendly feelings toward.
you. I hardly know what I would have done in a strange
land had it not been for you ; I certainly must have suf-
fered great hardships, and seen a great deal of trouble, had
r you not took en interest in my case and helped me along.
Hoping these few lines will reach you, and hoping that you
are well, I sign myself, yours, " WILLIAM Fits,Lows.
" P.S. I also return my &Ware thanks to Mr. Moran."

Attached to the above was a letter from the lad's mother,
expressing her heartfelt thanks to Mr. Conte for being
the means of restoring to her her son.
The following subscriptions have been received for Rachel
Clark, the paralysed woman, whose husband, a sweep,
elected to go to prison sooner than give his promise not to
black her eyes or terrify his family any more :—" Jessie,"
IL " M. Z. " 61. ; " V. V. V.," two guineas. " Peter
Pickwick" hie sent 101., and "A. Z.," 11., for the poor box.
