which overlooks Holyrood-park, his royal highness wit
maned the movements of the 92nd Highlanders at their

spectacle. Shortly before one o'clock, the Prince, accom-
panied by Major Cowell sad Mr. Norton—the letter
gentleman one of Colonel Mande's aedstant equerries—paid
• visit to the panes stables, and inspected the acoommo-
datioe and disposal of the Priooe's stud. After •

Mr. Norton on the care and attention displayed by him in
the carrying out his instructions. His royal highness ae-
ecenpseied by Major Cowell, with one servant ia attendance,

Ties "FOIIZTH-FORM SCHOOL" AT HARROW.—
It still remaiss the great object of interest in the place, all
unadorned as it is, with ita gloomy old windows and oaken
wainscot and plastered walls, covered with rude ioscriptima
which oo " restorer's" bands have been allowed to touch ;
of little interest to the professional archeologist, but to
Harrovian eyes more precious than the arrowheads of Niue.
Yob. For here, out by their own Mods in boyhood with
more or lass skill, you have the names of some of the fore-
man men in England's modern history ; the schoolfellows
"Byron " and "R. Peel"—the letter in bold deep capitals,
se determined to leave his mark legibly amongst the boys or
men of his generation ; sod not far off, his successor iu the
premiership, but his senior at Harrow by five years—a whole
school generation—" H. Temple," Viscount Pahnerstoo,
with the tell-tale date 1800. There, too, may be read an
older name, which carries with it even now a deep and
pathetic interest, from the sad fate which struck it so
early from the rolls of the living—" Spencer PerceveL"
It is the story of • past generation, yet well remembered—
the better, perhaps, because his fate was so overly repeated
in the case of Peel ; and even the modem visitor can scarcely
help being affected by the brief note appended to the
" speech-bill" of 1812, io which the younger Pewee"' is set
down to recite Gray's " Bard"—" Not spoken, in mese-
queues of the asseesinatica of his father." Many other
each memorials of the boyhood of remarkable men may be
traced on them old school-walls ; many have disappeared
under the vigorous knife of some modern Smith or Thomp-
son, too eager to reoord that he too had dwelt in this
Arcadia ; and it is to prevent this desecration of old memo-
ries by modern ambition that elf °atria( on the walls them-
selves is now strictly forbidden, sod long nerds bare been set
up tome which the modern Harrovian may hand down
his mete to posterity, if so disposed, in legible capitals exe-
cuted by the school castor for the moderate consideration of
half-a-crows.—B/oclosoorre Magazine for October.
ANOTH6II FATAL OMNIBUS ACCIDIST.—Last
evening Dr. Lankester, the coroner for Central Middlesex,
held an inquest iu University College Hospital touching the
death of • lad named George D. Dennis, who bad been killed
by one of the City Atlas omnibuaes. The parents of the poor
boy were present, and Mr. T. Beard. of Elasinghalletreet,
solicitor, appeared for the Lasers General Omnibus Com-
patty. On Friday the deceased lad, who was employed as
as errand boy in an establiehmeet is Tottenham-court-rod,
was crowing the trod of Loadoe-street when he was steak
on the side of the head by the poled one of the " express "
City Atlas omnibuaes,whielt was interim Loadon-street from
Tottenham-coort-road. Immediately as being struck the
boy fell to the ground, and one of the fore and one of the
hied wheels of the vehicle paved over his body. The jury
found • verdict of " Accideotal death ;" but in handing in
their decision the foreman said they desired him to make
this statement—that although in this particular case the
evidence obliged them to come to the conclusion that the
omnibus was not going at a speed of more than between
four or five miles an hour when crossing Totteuham-court-
road, several of the jury were prepared to state of their own
knowledge that the same vehicle was is the habit of crossing
there at • speed of eight miles en hour. which in such •
thoroughfare was a very dangerous rate. In addition to this
they could not express themeless in too strong terms of
reprehension conceiving the system of omnibus " *ursine"
which was being carried on along the Tottenhameourt.road.
It was positively frightful to look at the way omnibus oppo-
sition was modoMed along that street duly, and there could
be no doubt that some very shocking occurrence would take
place if the "scaring" and "racing" of which several of
the jurymen wens 000stently eye-witneeess were not put an
end to Dr. Lankeiter hoped that them observations
coming from housekeepers in the neighbourhood would have
doe weight.

Hr. Dowse supported the motion.
Mr. Sargood opposs4 and took the objection that the
requisite notices to arndditore had not been served by the
officer of the court.
Mr. Dowse said that the messenger. of the Insolvent
Court, who formerly served notices, had been abolished. in
this CYO the notices had been posted by the attorney.
His Honour did not think this service sufficient, and the
matter stood over.
A long discumion arose as to whether the adjournment
should be at the expense of the insolvent, which was termi-
nated in the usual way, the question of costs; being reserved
for omaideration.

about 5001.—shortly before his failure. Deb* 1,5001.
Mr. Aldridge, for .the official assignee, said that the eel.
deuce had been considered by his Honour, sad was not
thought sufficient to support a prosecution. The bankrupt
had ben required to reader • cash account, bat he had not
satiefeetorily explained the application of the many.
Mr. Denny having been heard for the bankrupt, and
E. Reed for an opposing creditor,
His Honour said the case was • very serious one. Foulkes
bad been bankrupt some yews ago, owing a coo-
siderable sum; that bankruptcy was superseded on
his undertaking to pay 5a in the pound, which
be had not dam The del*, therefore, now stood apinst
him. A w noses had swore very circumstantially to a
statement of the bankrupt that be had 500/. in gold and
notes in • bag, which beg be produced, sod emptied on
the table, saying with an oath that the creditor. should
Diver have a farthing of it. This was denied by the bank-
I rapt and his wife, bet the court could not place much
refaces on their irrideace, which would not have
been taken in • criminal court, and this was a quasi criminal
case. The court was of victimn that this man bad kept back
a portion of his property ; be had declared that the creditors
should not get a farthing, and this had turned out to bathe fact.
He had promised to pay his old creditors ss. in the pound-
what had bosoms of the money which should horsd
this composition? The court was bound to cooe
that the bankrupt had knowingly withheld property, sad
to adjourn the case sine die, on the glowed that the
litkra 's &comet wee wilfully untrue. He would have
protection for two months, with liberty to have a day named
when he was prepared to make a clean breast of it,

THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)

WORSHIP-STREST.

Coper, Wnu. Bailey, Joiin Moore, Waller Moore,
and Ti'was Allen, the scar of respectable inhabitants of
Hackney pariah, were charged before Mr. Leigh with
smaibiog the windows of a home in the occupation of a
geotleman named Wincing.
Complainant, who appeared is court booted and spurred,
wearing • large grey overcoat, and carrying an old.
fashioned white wilt hat with a black crape ,
band, manifestly occwidered the proceedings of
weighty consequence, for with much form he pro-
duced some parchments, apparently title deeds of vast
property, and also the plan of • large residence with about
wiodows in the trout of it. When requested to stood
and give his evidence, be, in very mild Mum, 14,01011imed on
the score of a slight indisposition ; and having been
sworn, said-1 live in the " Grove, " Hackney.
On the evening. of Sunday, the 27th of Septem-
ber taut, I was is my kitchen doing—that is picking up
something, when I beard • tapping at oas of the windows.
I looked up and saw a police-co stable, who told me that he
had caught some boys who hail been ;mashing, end that if
I would go to the station-house he would do the needful.
I did, and saw three lads against whom I afterwards took
out summonses for wilfully destroying my property. I
have had fifty panes of glom broken within a week, at
is. M. each.

hLr. John Hutson, solicitor. who appeared for the boil—
These younptera, sir, hal no intention to cause damage ;
they were bird•nesting among the ivy with which this
ntleman's mansion is surrounded; all the windows are

dompfaTnent—Only with the ivy. It is for the purpose
of preventing robbery. There is upwards of 4,0001. worth
of furniture is the rooms. Sir Richard Mayne has been
written to upon the subject.
Mr. Hutson—Hy friend (complainant) is a bachelor, and
I believe resides alone io this large house, and it is impos-
sible to see the windows. The boys were throwing at the
birds. . .

Short, 213 N—l saw them throw stones at the win-
dows and break four panes. On that occasion in the morn-
ing there were fortynix smashed. In consequence of the
continual complaints I watched and counted the damage
every time I pawed.
Mr. Leigh—lt appears to hays required ill diligence to
catch these destructive young gentlemen. I shall toe each
Is„ another Is. for the offence, and 2e. for the summons,
in all 4a. each. _ _ _
