MELANeHOLY EFFECT OF LAZINESS. —A young man
of the name of Beach, respectably connected, was
charged before Mr. Broughton with causing a disturb.
ance at the house No. 2, Manchester-terrace, Kilburn.
Mr. Sedy, the landlord, said that he was a wholesale
ironmonger, and that about ten o'clock last night the
prisoner knocked at the door and obtained admission.
He went into the pasage upon being informed by the
servant that the prisoner was there. Upon seeing the
prisoner, he asked to see his brother who lodges in wit-
ness's house. Witness being aware that his brother had
refused to see him directed him to leave. He refused
to go until he saw his brother. Witness then called him.
His brother came down stairs and he requested the pri-
soner to leave. Upon his objecting to do so he laid
hold of his arm to put him out. He resisted, upon which
witness offered his assistance and forcibly ejected him.
When the prisoner was in the street he rang the bell and
knocked at the street door so violently and made such
a disturbance that witness was compelled to give him
into custody.

Mr. Robert Beach, the prisoner's brother, said that
be conducted a wholesale fishmonger's establishment at
the West-end, and that he had repeatedly assisted his
brother, wbo was too lazy to work. A short time ago
his brother's wife, who had four children, was left by
him, and she wrote to him (witness), stating that she
was destitute and in want of assistance. Above a
twelvemonth ago witness and some other members of
his family collected above 4/. for his support. He had
at other times assisted him, but he had found it of no
use to continue his aid any longer, and he should not
do so.

The Prisoner observed that he had only been once
assisted by his brother, and that if he bad only a few
shillings he should be able to sell some confectionery.
His brother refused to do anything more fir him.
Mr. Broughton observed that he must not annoy his
brother, and that if he wanted relief he must apply to
the workhouse.

The prisoner was discharged on promising not to
annoy his brother.

LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S RECEPTION AT

THE LORD MAI-OR'S BANQUET.

( From the London Correspondent of the Liverpool Albion)
Behold to what a pass Lord John Russell has come !
Hissed and hooted yesterday in that very ball where,
five years ago, he was hailed as the bulwark of the
Constitution, the spear and shield of Britannia's self,
and where copies of his Durham epistle, in letters 01
gold, were sold at a crown a-piece. Nemesis is the only
impartial divinty, after all. Here, in the scene and cen-
tre of his former fraudulently acquired triumph, was be
abashed and abased, and on an occasion too of all othoi s the
most destructive to the prestige he thought he bad built
up ; for if ever a friend to civil and religious liberty,
who had (metaphorically) fought with Hampden in the
field, and did other ren.arkable things with other remark-
able people elsewhere, had a right to expect a respectful
reception, it would be when a guest in Guildhall of a Li-
beral Jew Lord Mayor of London. This treatment of Lord
John in such a place is something altogether startling.
There is no precedent for it, considering the time the place,
and the company. In a festive assembly, politics excluded,
ladies present, the noble member for the City, long the fore-
most man in the country, and, until lately, high in the
councils of his Sovereign, is assailed with expressions of
public antipathy that render: it impossible for a word to
be heard that he bad said in responding to a toast from
the chair on behalf of the House of Commons. Why it
is haidly credited in London to-clay ; and the first re-
port of it that reaches the Crimea will assuredly be
put down to that accursed Tatar who took Sebastopol
upwards of a year ago, and who will be supposed in the
camp to have been living here on the fruits of that

inimitable hoax ever since. The late Canon of St. Paul's
used to say that there was no getting into Lord
John's head anything he didn't like, except by a process
little short of trepanning—that is, taking the roof of
the skull off. It is to be presumed that there was
small need of that last night to get in the thing of all
others Lord John has the most mortal dislike of, and
that is the idea that he isn't both the greatest man in
the world, and the greatest favourite with all other
kinds and classes of men, and in the metropolis of
all other places on the face of the earth. No other
man similarly placed, if any but he could be so placed,
would have dreamt of going to the Guildhall ; but t'ie
tenaFtation to keep himself in some shape before the pub-
lic eye was too powerful for his philosophy, and he
yielded to it, with disastrous results. It is the same
morbid craving for notoriety and dread of extinguish-
ment that impels him to lecture at Exeter-hall next
Tuesday, on the impediments to civilisation, or some
such platitude ; and, more remarkable still, to preside,
on Monday next., at the Warehousemen and Clerks' As-
sociation dinner, at the London Tavern—a thing he
would never think of doing were he not on the very
last legs of political decreptitude, and which he now
does by way of advertisement that he is to be had by
any provincial Mechanics' Institute, or village Odd Fel-
lows' Hall, who c tn't get a less dilapidated celebrity.
Last night's scene at Guildhall may be taken as the
serving of an emphatic notice of ejectment from the City
on his lordship. If he had a particle left of that " high-
thoughted spirit " hymned by Moore five and thirty
years ago, he would not stand upon the order of his
going, but go at once and seek a seat elsewhere.
