POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CHRISTMAS DISORDERLIES .-A large number 411 persons
of both sexes were brought bifore Mr Tyrwhitt this morn-
ing charged with being drunk and disorderly. In all cases
where the charge was only for being drunk and incapable
tho defendants were discharged, but where disorderly con-
duct was proved small fines—as usual at Christmas—were
imposed. One of the men charged with being drunk and,
incapable had under his arm his market basket with a
goose in it. Amongst the persons who had indulged
rather too freely were several cabmen. One of
them was seen by a constable dodging round his horse's
head trying to put the nose bag on, but to no
purpose, as, after spending nearly five minutes in his en-
deavours to do so, he fell. In nearly every instance the
excuse was that yesterday being Christmas-day an extra
drop was taken.

Charles Roberts, a pianoforte maker, was charged as fol.
lows :-Henry Wendt, a tailor, living at No. 3, Clepstone-
street' said that there was a party last night in the first
floor of the house where he resided, and after he (com-
plainant) had gone to bed about eleven o'clock, the defen-
dant was admitted into the house by one of the guests,
the defendant having knocked at the door and being
taken for one of the company. The defendant said ho lodged
in the house, and should stop there, but at last was per,
suaded to leave. Ho (complainant), who dept in the:par-
lours, and had bean disturbed by defendant, then went to
bed again, but only to be aroused again shortly after by
the defendant, who again knocked at the door and got ad-
mitted, and went upstairs, and refused to leave. Defendant
was, however, got out of the house, and quiet restored, but
❑ot for any length of time, for he returned and knocked
violently at the door, and continued to do so as if
the house was on fire. The defendant was then given into
custody.

In answer to Mr Tyrwhitt, the complainant said the de-
fendant did not appear to be drunk, but foolish.

The defendant said he had been to a party, and could,
not persuade himself that he did not reside in the house.
Mr Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 10s., or seven days.

marquis represented the borough for 38 years as Earl
Jermyn.

The Figaro.Programme proposes that anyone

nal as giving 51r. for the poor shall be considered to have
fulfilled all the duties of politeness required on New Year's
Day. and be relieved from the trouble of paying visits or

Bureaux of Public Assistance,
The Gazette de France has received a "commu.

xicated" note contradicting a statement made by that jour-
nal to the effect that the Prefect of the Seine intended to
propose to the Emperor, in a secret report, the nomina-
tion of a new municipal commission composed of 100
persons, of whom 30 would be members, ex-officio, and
the remaining 70 be appointed by Government.
THE KING OF PRUSSIA AND lIIS HOTEL BILL,
The German newspapers have got hold of a shabby
transaction, in which the King of Prussia cuts a rather
undignified figure, while the King of Bavaria seems bent
on showing him up. The affair dates as far back as 1849,
when his present Majesty, as Crown Prince, marched into
Baden somewhateifter the late Schleswig-Holstein fashion.
To carry out his operations against the Federal Grand
Duchy, he had to cross the Rhine at the Bavarian village
of Gemersheim, whore he halted with his suite on the 17th
and 18th of June, taxing to their utmost capabilities the
cellar and larder of a local Gasthof. Ho ran up a little bill
of 200 thalere, which in the hurry of departure he forgot to
discharge, and the worthy Bontface has been ever sinco
seeking redress alternately at Munich and Berlin. This
summer he accosted his debtor personally during his visit
to Baden Baden, and was told to forward his account to the
Chancellor of the Household. The latter functionary has
had full time to take the royal order for payment, but in
November he forwarded to the innkeeper a document
printed in all the Zeit,rngs along the Rhine, and signed
Puckler," to the (lee.: that as Crown Prince he was then
engaged in federal execution at the cost either of the Diet
or of Bavaria, to either of which paymasters the hotel bill
for wine, Kirchwassen cigars, &c., was referred. " The
account,. of the Crown Prince have been long since dosed'-'
—equivalent to pleading the statute of limitations.
It is said that her Majesty will open Parliament
in person. 11l consequence of the heavy fall of
snow in Sandringham, the Prince of Wales has had the
Royal sledges, presented to the Queen bj the Emperor of
Russia, sent from Windsor to Sandringham. The Prince
of Wales and Princess of Wales intend to keep the birth-
day of their infant Prince at Sandringham, and their return
to Frogrnore Lodge will be regulated according to the
state of the weather. It the frost should not put a stop to
hunting, the Prince will remain at Sandringham until the
eud of the month, otherwise his Royal Highnees will go to
Frogmore for the purpose of skating on Virginia Water,
