POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

LAMBETH-STREET.
NAPOLEON'S ORDERLY DRAGOON.—Among the charges
brought before the Magistrates at this office yesterday wai
Frederick Allinson, for causing a disturbance, and assaulting
a policeman.
From the statement of the prisoner, and wlich was corro-
borated by documents in his possession, it appeared that he
hal served for many years in the 21st Ught DragooLs„ and
had been selected and appointed orderly dragoon to attend on
the Emperor Napoleon on his being sent out to St. Helena,
and which appointment he held up to the d, ath of that distin-
guished warrior. He occupied a small cottage adjoining
Longwood House, and had frequent opportunities of seeing
and conversing, with %poieori,-- and became intimately ac-
quainted with his habi!s. He states he was the person through
whom Buonaparte had been ma:le acquainted with the escape
of Lavalette, on which ocession he a,peared overjoyed ; and
also with the death of Marshal /sky, upon which latter occa-
sion lie says the Emperor wept like a child. Allinson, since
his discharge from St. Helena, has served with some distinc-
tion both in Portugal and Spain, and is but a short time re-
turned from the latter place. It seemed that on Saturday
last he received his pension, and bdtsg a good-natured
fellow, a number of females, who lived close to his residence,
waited on him to be treated with gin. He spent upwards of
six shillings cn them for that at tide; but this not satisfying
them lie got out of temper, and a policeman coming up at
the Instant, the assault complained of took place.
He was discharged on putting 103. into the p:or-box.

OFFICE FOR SCIENTIFIC MODELS, PLANS,
SECTIONS, Sal , LIKELY TO COME DEFOE!: PARLIAMENT.—There
Las never yet been a common centre where plans and models
might be seen and examined before each is deposited in the
Private Bill Office, to be brought formally before Parlianaeut.
This has been felt to be a serious inconvenience. Improve-
ments which might be made in the first instance, and alterations
to meet the views of the Members who take charge of the
several matters in the Houses of the Legislature, (both of
which have afterwards to be effected often at an (normous coat
of monoy and time), have been pievented from the avant of a
common centre. In order to supply this desideratum, Mr.
Northhouse, Parliamentary Agent, at the rc quest of several
scientific men, has permitted a room in his offices in Parlia-
ment-street to be devoted to the purpose of exhibiting pl,.ns,
sections, models, &c., connected with public improvements,
likely to came before Parliament.—Civil Engineer.
Yesterday afternoon, between two and three o'clock,

the house of Mr. Hammond, at tho corner of Rathbone-place
and Newman _passage, with some pigeons, when suddenly he
overbalanced himself and fell upon the pavement. On being
picked up he was quite insensible and bleeding profusely. The
unEQrtunate man was placed on a shutter and conveyed to the
Middlesex iiospital, and about an hour artewards he expired.
