POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

GENTLEMEN CHARGED WITH DISORDERLY CONDUCT
—ASSAULTING THE POLICE.—TWO gentlemen, named
Johnlßack andpeorge Thomas, both residing at Shooter's-
hill, Woolwich, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with
being drunk and creating a disturbance in Piccadilly, and
Buck was further charged with assaulting Sergeant Henry
Atwell Allen 20 C,

•
Henry Hyatt, night constable of Burlington Arcade, said
the two defendants came to the Piccadilly end of the Bur-
lington Arcade, yesterday evening about half-past eight,
the gates at the time being closed, and his orders being not to
let any persons in after eight o'clock except the inhabitants
The defendants, who were ;very fresh and riotous, tried to
force their way into the arcade, notwithstanding he told
them they would not be permitted to enter, and that
drunken persons were not permitted to enter at any time.
As they caused a large crowd to assemble, and were very
unruly, evidently being out for an evening's spree, he
sent fur a constable and gave them in charge. He had
been the constable for eight years, and it was the first job
he had brought to the court, though he had often had to
threaten young gentlemen. (Laughter,)
Sergeant Henry Allen, 2) 0, said on going to the arcade
he found the two defendants there, both of them in a state
of intoxication. The last witness wanted to keep them from
entering the arcade, but they persisted in trying to do so
and refused to leave. After some persuasion he (the ser-
geant) got them to leave, and they went a short distance
and got up a crowd, Buck saying he would not leave the
place, but would be locked up ; and on taking him into cus-
tody, finding all persuasion useless, he became very violent
and struck him (the sergeant) in the face, and took hold of
him by both thighs and tried to throw him over his head,
and all the way to the station was very violent.
Hyatt said that Thonris tiled to persuade Buck to leave.
Buck said he did not think it was so late. He wanted to
see his boottuaker, and he was pushed violently, as he
thought.
Mr. Tyrwhitt fined Back 40s. or a month, and discharged
Thomas, at the same time stating that the inhabitants had
a perfect right to shut up the arcade even in the middle of
the day if they thought proper, and if they did not close it
at night they would have all sorts of persons there.

THE WEATHER AND THE PARKS,

Tho frost still continues, and, judging from the state of
the glass, is likely to last for some time longer.
During Monday night the thermometer registered 28
deg., showing 4 deg. of frost. At nine o'clock yesterday
morning the mercury did not rise beyond 29 deg., and even
at noon it was only 30 deg., showing that the frost was
still continuing.
The various parks were largely patronised. In St.
James's-park 1,500 persons disported themselves upon the
ice, and several became immersed, but were rescued with—

out injury.
In the Regent's-park there were about 6,000 skaters and
sliders, although the ice was only two inches in thickness.
Under Dtputy-superintendent Parsons the endangered.
persons were rescued, and they were attended to Iby Mr.
Norton, the society's surgeon. About five o'clock not fewer
than six persons were floundering in the water at one time,
but they were happily speedily rescued. Mr. Young, al e
secretary, and Mr. Williams, the superintendent, were pre-
sent and gave instructions to the icemen in each park as to
the treatment of the immersed. The Long Water in Ken-
sington-gardens had about 2,000 skaters and sliders, but
only two boys fell into the water. They were attended to
by,Mr. Williams, of the receiving house.
