PRIF.IIENTATION OP A SWORD, &C. TO COLONEL
WILIIRANAM, C.ll.—The tenantry of the paternal estate of
Colonel Wilbraham, C.D., with their wives and families. re-
sembled in force on Tuesday afternoon, at Rode Hall, Che-
shire, for the purpose of presenting to that gallant officer (webs
now holds the "toff appomtment of adjutant-general of the
northern and midlsed district., and who ntheiraldes atrespe or, 110. Ply-

and admiration of. his conduct. The commith c, after pnr-
chewing a handy:coo and useful sword, at a cost of upwards
of 50 gainer, finding that the whole of the funds placed
at their disposal had not been expended, resolved upon
adding to the sword a copy of Wellington's Despatches.
A copy, handsomely bound in nutria and gilt, was ex-
ceedingly procured at a cost of 12 guineas; and Mr.
Thomas Orme, carver in wood, of Manchester, was con-
miasioned to provide an appropriate catinet, which is of solid
oak. elaborately carved, and surmounted by a statuette of
the Great Duke, In perion. sad underneath are the words
Vl= victorem, cincens." The sword was presented to
Colonel Wilbrahatu by Mr. Samuel Yates, one of the old=
tersnt farmers on the estate ; and the despatches and
cabinet by the Rev. James Loth, of Rode. In acknowledg-
ing the kindness of his friends, the gallant colonel mid:
With regard to the sword, whether i

for other than peaceful purposes, it is mpose for us M

them. It will be a painful warfare: ry different
the fair fight In the open field which we had with the
Russians. It will be the bunting down of a set of madmen
who have disgraced human nature by the atrocities which
they have committed. Of cause I need not tell you that
ray services sill be given wherever they we waisted. bat, as
the proportion of officers of my rank is very smell, it Is pro-
bable my days of active service are at an end. Should It be
otherwise, I have the comfortable feeling, shored by every
English soldier, that this sword will never be drawn in any
but a just and righteous cause. The gallant colonel was fee-
qr.ently and loudly applauded.—Hanehester Getardion.
TILE INCONVENIENCE OP A MOCSTACRE.-01
Friday, a somewhat amusing incident came =devour notice.
A pair of trousers haviug been stolen in York, the authori-
tit s of that city telegraphed to the Hull police to apprehend
a man t' with a black moustache and dressed in black," he
being suspected. As it was considered probable that the gen-
tleman shh `• block moustache and black dress" would come
to Hull by water, one or two policemen were stationed at the
Humber dock basin to await the arrival of the York
packet; but when that steamer landed her passenger& yen-
terday afternoon, the policemen were perplexed by the ap-
pearance of no fewer than three individuals glorying in the
hirsute cop pm loge. One of these lompened to a gen-
tleman Hull, and known to the police se a pen=
alogetber unlikely to be the suspected thief, end he MY
allowed to pen unquestioned; but the other two were
more unfortunate. They had not the happiaess of being
associated with the reoolteetions of the polies ; they wen
stranger", and conseonently taken in—to the Parliament-
street police-station, one of them followed by a disconsolate
" better half." When they strived at the station they wee
naturally a good deal surprised at their unexpected situp-
tam, and the invector in charge and the police-o'6cm
looked no lest purzled. The me
was mod over and
over again, ant though its' oe true the telegraphic descrip-
tion was correct with regard to moustache and drem, them
appear.' to be nothing elm about them to kinder their. being
detained. Simpler's', both the detehees were musicians.—
