A POLICEMAN FOND OF RABBIT PIE.

A gentleman residing in Pocton-place, in the % ieinity
of the Surrey Zoological Gardens, applied to Mr. Elliott,
at the Lambeth Police Court, yesterday, for his advice
as to how he should cot under the following somewhat
novel circumstances :—The apple:ant said that for
several nights post strange noises were hoard in the
front of his house, and in the morning it was invariably
Lund that a safe, in which the cold and broken meat and
other articles of toed were kept, and which was pieced in
the arca, had been made free with. Oa that Morning et
three o'clock the usual noise was heard, upon which be,
applicant, got cut of bad and hurried down stairs to the
kitchen. Ou reaching the place he distinctly saw a
p)lioemau standing in front of the safe with his bull's oyo
turned on, and cutting away as fact as ho could at a cold
rabbit pie, which had formed a part of the family dinner
en the day before. His (applicant's) approach, probably
from,his footsteps, had been heard by the constable, as
ho at once jumped away from the safe, blundered up the
area steps, and ran as fast as he could into the Kenning-
ton-road.
Mr. Elliott—Why did you not follow him and give
him into custody? Applicant—I should have done so,
but I had not au opportunity of seeing his number; and
as there were other policemen in the Kerrlington.road
should hive run the risk of fixing on the wrong man.
Besides, I did not know that another constable would
take him iuto custody on the charge.
but
then you will be ahle to learn the
your best eoursti is to apply at
Mr. Elliott—They mast do so if you give the party

sodname of the constable on duty on the beat, and you can
then give him into custody.

characterises it as a most interesting narrative, and one in
which the versatile talents of its author are conspicuously
and agreeably apparent :—" The characters are delineated
with delicacy and skill, and there is a vigorous vitality ill the
dialogue which carries the reader along with a movement at
once easy and rapid. Tne descriptions are remarkable for
splendour of illustration and brilliancy of language,
incident* are involved with such ingenuity, as to preserve
the interest to the last."—Norning Post. and the

of Lord JOHN Russann has been sander discussion,
that the mention of the ballot has been received with
more marked enthusiasm than that of any other point
to which his Lordship's attention has been drawn.
To Mr. HENRY BERKELEY, the Hon. Member for
Bristol, is due the credit of having conquered for
this most important question its present 'vantage-
ground. From 1848 to the present time he has been
unceasing in his endeavours to gain the ear of the
House of Commons for this question, even as from
1838 Mr. CHARLESPELHAM VILLIEMS was unceasing
in his endeavours to gain the eeir of the House
of Commons for the discussion of the question
of Free Trade ; and so welithas Mr. HENRY BERKE-
LEY:SBCCeeded, that the question of the Ballot is now,
in 1852, in quite as forward a state as was in 1842
the question of Corn-law repeal. We cannot but re-
gard it as a matter of some im!?ortance that Mr.
COBDEN has at length felt it his duty emphatically to
re-echo the declaration made long :since by the Hon.
Member for Bristol, that without protection to the
voter any scheme of reform brought under the con-
sideration of Parliament must be nsugatory. An ex-
tension of the suffrage without the' protection of the
ballot would, under existing circuasstances, be a re-
fined and cruel mockery. So far from considering
the possession of the franchise without the protection
of the ballot as a boon, there are many who are at
present entitled to be on the register of electors who
voluntarily disfranchise themselves, in order to escape
from the tyranny, dictation, and rdin to which, under
the present system of open voting, unfortunate tenants
and tradesmen are everywhere subjected. As was well
observed by Mr. HENRY BERKELErT, in his admirable
speech at the Great Bristol Reform. meeting last week,
in acknowledging the vote of tha'iks passed to hire
for his past services in the cause of reform, and par•
ticularly for his able advocacy of the ballot—" The
ballot is in itself an extension of the franchise." " I
will make that point clear to you, proceeds the Hon.
Gentleman. " The ballot will extend the register
on the one hand, and the poll-book on the other. I
will prove it to demonstration. nr. MUNTZ, in sup-
porting one motion I made on the subject of the
ballot,
said that in 13irrningham, and of his own
knowledge
(and when Mr. Mus Tz speaks of that
which he knows,
no man deserves more credit, for he
is a downright honest man), there were one thousand
and more electors in the town of Birmingham who
were intimidated from using their franchise at elec-
tions. There would be an increase at once of one
thousand on the poll-book. Buts we may presume
that that which has been proved to exist in one place,
may exist in other constituencies. Hone thousand

election in this
voting ? Protect those men at the polling-
booth, and then look at the pall-book. Birmingham
would show an increase of one thousand of those men
heretofore deterred from voting try intimidation, and
they are the very men who, fronx their position and
intelligence, ought to
vote. The ballot, then, would
add to the poll-book. It would also add to the re-
gister. It has been calculated by a competent agent
that there are three thousand men in Westminster, an
equal number in Marylebone, an I an immense num-
ber in London—men who have the best right to
express an opinion, but who now refuse to be put on
the register ; and why ? Because they will not
subject themselves to impertinent inquiries, to the
bullying cajolery, and threats to which they would
be subject if they were on the register. If London
shows such a return we may conclude it is the same
in other places : men is the same throughout Eng-
land. I have proved to you, therefore, that the ballot
would increase the poll-hook and the register. By
giving the ballot you would not only be giving pro-
tection to the voter, but largely extend the suffragc—
I do not say to a sufficient extent, for I do not know
precisely what that might be, but my notion is that
it would be very considerable. And if we had
the ballot, not only would the suffrage be extended,
but it would enable the electors to send such

from what it was some Fixand-thirty years since.
Thanks to the late improvements, our weapons are,
comparatively, innocuous, and the English soldier,
sweating beneath his in convenient fardels, would
serve for little more than food for powder,lhad he to
front a French or Prussia n foe.

Without touching to-di sy on the expediency of in-
ternal fortifications, or d• yelling on the necessity of
an augmentation of the artillery—a necessity incon-
trovertible, unless it is to be expected that the guns
will work and fire then aselves—we would mention
what appears to us the first necessary steps towards
rendering the infantry somewhat really effective.
The old musket, then, should be utterly con-
damned, and generally replaced by a lighter,
handier, and more sure-shooting arm. In

The Lloyds states that during the course of last
year no less than 7,960 arrests took place in Vienna
alone.
Accounts from Frankfort state that it is the inten-
tion of the Federal Military Commission to order the
erection of barracks in liamburgh.

We are authorised to contradict a statement which
has appeared in several journals, that the station of the
Great Northern Railway,
King'-cross, had given way. At
this season ot. the year such a mass of 'brick and mortar will
not dry so rapidly as in summer and to prevent the possi-
bility of accident, the building has been secured by
" stays," not " props."

Governor is about to be appointed to the Cape of Good Hope
to conduct the civil business of the colony during the absence

PROPOSED MIDLAND OBSERVATORY AT NOTTING.
llAM.—Yesterd_ay an influential meeting was held in the Ex-
change-room, Nottingham,
having been convened by circu-
lar, to take into consideration a proposal made by Mr. Law-
soußesolutions
for the erection of a midland observatory at Nottingham.
wileisre Graceadoped to
the presided.caanstolebservatoryin
of England would be calculated to promote the interests of
science; that the munificent offer by Mr. Lawson of his
valuable collection of astronomical instruments, and a gift
of 100 guineas, presented considerable inducements to secure
such an institution ; and that a provisional subscription
should be at ence entered into. A committee having been
formed to'receive subscriptions, &c., votes of thanks were
accorded to the Duke of Newcastle for presiding on this oc-
casion, and for his uniform courtesy and desire to advance
the interests of the town ; to Mr. Lawson for his munificent
offer; and to the mayor for the trouble he has taken in the
question. The subscriptions already received are :—Mr.
Walter, 100 guineas ; his Grace the Duke of New-
castle, 1001.; 'Mr. Barrow, M.P., •501. ; Mr. A. Lowe, 501. ;
Mr. J. Bradley, 501.; Mr. Paget, 501. ; Mr. Charles Wright,
501. ; Mr., J. E. Denison, ALP., 100/. ; and others smaller
sums, making the amount altogether received yesterday
morning about 1,000/.
The:undermentioned:gentlemen have been called to
the bench of the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple :

THE NEW HousE-Durr.—The assessment under
the new house-duty in many instances recently made, have
exceeded the rent- 'paid. In the Temple, and other places
where the window-duty was inconsiderable, the par-
ties have been, much to their disappointment, assessed on
the rent, and the new duty has considerably exceeded tho
window-duty previously paid.
THE MURDER IN SllADNVELL.—lresterday Mr.
Baker held an inquest at the London Hospital on the body- of
Almon, whose murder in a low house at Shadwell we reported
, when 'the case came before the Thames Police Court. The
evidence failed to throw any new light on the case, while it
clearly confirmed the guilt of the prisoner Berdugo. The in-
quest was adjourned.

per cent. could be easily. made in steadiness and ac-

The actual power of eve ry regiment would thus be
doubled, for though the number of bayonets would
remain the same, the nec sssity for the employment of
" the cold steel" is so infrequent as to render it
scarcely worth a passing mention. Suppose a body
of foreign troops effected a landing on the south coast,
what, in the name of hem 'en, have we to oppose them ?
Could all our home regia tents together live before the

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at from 4,000 to 5,000 bales, of which 1,000
American were taken for export. The market closed
firtnly. The sales comprised 50 Pernam and Ma-
ranham at 51d. to 6d., 30 Bahia at kid... 250 Egyptian
at 50. to 9d., 300 Surat at 3d. to 31d., and the re-

mainilerAmeriCan.—Railway Shares weio depressed, al

ower prices.
The Tea sales have) been going off at lower rates, bu

some of the Hyson and Gli-UpovNder is of old importa-
tion. About one-third of the quantity put up finds

buyers.
The members of the Banking Institute held their
second conversazione last evening at the place which they
have selected for their future meetings and for their
reading-room—one of the commodious upper rooms
of the Hall of Commerce. There was a good attend-
ance, and the subject brought under notice was one of

considerable importance, the law of crossed cheques.
Mr. Shaw, who has already distinguished himself by
treatises upon this subject, went through the whole subject
clearly and impartially, and the inference we draw from his
statement, and the remarks of the practical men engaged
in banking who were present last evening, is, that the
law respecting crossed cheques is in a very unsettled
state, or rather that there is no law upon
the subject, and that even the custom is in-
definite. No better proof of this can be given
than that during the recent action against Messrs.
Coutta and Co. different bankers gave opinions almost
diametrically opposed to each other: some considering
that a crossed cheque should not be paid, ex.
ceept through a banker ; others, that 'a cross-
ing should not be erased to have even ano-
ther banker's mine substituted, while there are

third parties who declare that they consider the
crossing no bar to payment across _ the counter.
If it be not incompatible with the objects of the
Banking Institute, we think its more influen-
tial patrons should endeavour to get the metropolitan
bankers together in conference, and since the custom,
useful fled safe, as wo must admit it to be, is still not
sufficiently established, it would be desirable to have it
made law. The clients of bankers are quite as much
interested as the bankers themselves.
The steamer Europa has arrived, and brings 847,500
dollars in specie. Business was dull, owing to the holi-
days. The Californian news is very encouraging again.
Important discoveries had been made in the Mariposa
county, near Bear Valley, in the neighbourhood -of
Ague Fria. The following is part of the description
given :
"The new placer is of great extent, and it is believed
that it will prove the key to new and still greater dis-
coveries. The placer diggings in Mariposa county have
never, we believe, yielded so bountifully as those in the
Taolumne and Calaveras regions, but we imagine the
recent developments will give the county an importance
in the eye of the miner equal to, if not surpassing, that
of any other county in the state.
The Stockton Journal of the 21st ult. says—" We
learn the following particulars concerning a discovery
made last week at Bear Valley, five or six miles south
of Quartzburg, Mariposa county. Some Mexicans
found a deposit of very rich decomposed quartz, at
a depth of from ten to thirty feet, and worked
some time at it before they were noticed by the
Americans. W hen the secret got out they were
driven off by a party of Americans; and on Satur-
day last there were between 1,000 and 1,500 persons on
the ground, which was staked off into claims of thirty
feet square each. It was a question, for a time, whether
the quartz or placer laws should be adopted; but the
people finally agreed to be governed by the latter. We
are informed by Mr. Dickenson that one pound of the
rock yielded 12 dollars."
A rich quartz lead, some five miles in extent, has been
discovered in Scott's Valley, near Martin's Reach, and
hundreds of persons from Shasta Butte city and other
points are taking up claims upon it.
San Francisco was described as being quiet, and pre-
senting a thriving aspect. Crime was decreasing.
In the Shasta and Upper Butte districts discoveries
had been made in locations before considered barren.
From all parts the accounts are encouraging.
In respect to quartz digging, several new machines had
been erected, and yielded a profitable return.
In October last the exports of goll amounted to
6,884.975 dolls.
Agricultural operations during the year had been pro-
fitable.
For the purpose of supplying San Francisco with
fresh water, the " Mountain Lake Water Company"
had been started, in 10,000 shares, of which 2,000 had
been taken. The capital is 500,000 dolls.
The Mexican adiioes given in the New York papers
do not appear to be later than those forwarded by Mr.
Falconnet, consequently the asserted rejection by the
Senate of the plan for levying duties to pay the
January dividend needs confirmation.
The Funds have been rather weak again this morning,
and there is very little doing in them. Consols have
been quoted 96/ - for Transfer, and 96i [-; for the 10th of
- next month. Consols now are 96/ I. The New Three-

to 595., and on Indian Bonds 68s, to 71s. Speculation is

very inert.
Foreign Stocks have been a little stronger. Spanish
Five per Cents. bring 23, and the Three per Cents 414.
The new Deferred are at 18k. Mexican Bonds have
fluctuated from 29i to 28k. Equador are 3i, and
Grenada 16/. Sardinian Stock is worth 89k, and very
quiet. Belgian Four-and-a• Half per Cents. have been
92, and Dutch Two.and-a-Half per Cents. 581 ex,

Railway Shares were rather better early in the day,
but are scarcely so good now. This is " ticket day,"
and the different lines fluctuate accordingly.
In Gold Mines less is doing, but prices are firm.

STRANGE VIPER.—A contribution has been lately
made to natural history, in the discovery of a hairy viper. It
resembles an enormous caterpillar, and was of a brownish
red colour. Its length was about 22 inches. The moment it
saw that it was observed, it glided into the brushwood, and
all attempts to discover it were unavailing. The authorities
of the Museum of Natural History of Paris have sent off
orders to their agents in Algiers to spare no exertions to get
a specimen of the viper.
