THE CHEERFUL 13diaiTICIAN,

\Veil, thingS Ifetes were so prosperous—England
never was so happy. The yofing green (God bless
her) is liberal to the back bone—the ministers are
honest find popuLer, spite of all the grumbling Tories
and Rads assert to the eontrarv—lreland is absolutely
tranquil ; het sons are leaviti Off brOatihig one ano-
ther's heads with shifirdiee, and if those cut itifOat does
the Orangemen would kit leave them alone, %foal
settle down into a prosperous people. Abroad things
lodl Well-Vraiifft grumbles and coeson—Louis Phil-
lippe has defied the balls Of the assassin till, with
Macbeth, the Firenchrtien think he !,`naps a charmed
life, Russia, Prussia, and AtiSttla are only dreatninii
of misehief—they don't dare move. Spain, it is true,
is still in a state of eXeltemvlt, but it is a &nth: that
will burn out of itself if left alone. Titings in Portugal
"are coming to a close, end with an heir to the crown the
young Queen must strive to firarne her politics so as to
settle differences which ought never to be disputed out
of the Cortes. The Americans are recovering from
their panic, and are grown mote cautious of bankers
and speculators. The President, liken wise man, dis-
countenances a national bank, and urges the edoption.
of a gold currency as the best preservative of a healthy
state of the commonwealth. Never were things so
prosperous. The arts and manufactures are flourishing
--the farmer does not grumble—and the manufacturer,
with good prices, forgets corn laws -and malt tax.
Science and literature are taking full sway, and are
doing away with the prejudices of nations. New views
and more extended prospects are breaking in upon
mankind, and the bonds of brotherhood are being ex-
tended. How much better this than to be continually
squabbling and fighting like a parcel of turkey cocks.
Our navy, thank heaven, is strong enough to piotect
our colonies, and our army is numerous enough to se-
cure us from the aggressions of 'a common foe. There
is no fighting but among the newspapers, and they
quarrel with one another because there is nothing else
to quarrel about. It is a famous sign when they fall
out. The Spectator grumbles and snarls to please the
Tories and the Rads, and strives, by pleasing nobody,
to attract the attention of every body. The old Times
lies like itself, and nobody believes it. The Standard
pretends to be honest, and fancies people think it so.
The Post tittle-tattles as usual to old dowagers and •
scandal-mongers. The Whig press fights the ministers'
battle -bravely—the Chronicle is pushing the Times
from its place, and the Advertiser, Globe, Sun, and •
Examiner, are burying the poor silly old Herald in
oblivion. Every thing must go on. Ministers have a
safe majority—small indeed, but true as buckram, and
that is a thousand times better than a shakey large one.
The Parliament will resume ere long, and then there
will come the struggle again—the old questions will be
gone over, and the old tricks resorted to—but we shall
go on well for all that—slowly, perhaps, but surely. In
the mean time news is as scarce as one pound notes.
Politicians have turned sportsmen—grouse and part-
ridges are the subjects debated, and the only reports
made are those from double-barrelled Mantons on the
hill side. Well, for my part, I see nothing to fear, and
I am sure if people will but put their shoulder to the
wheel we cannot fail going on well.— Cardiff' Chron.

POLICE 'INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.

A young man named Henry Ansell was brought before
the LORD MAYOR, charged by the Count De Milfort, of
No. 19, Kensington-square.
A Custom-house officer stated that on the 4th of Oc-
tober the Count arrived in London by a steamer, with four-
teen packages, one of which was, either through the fault
of the potter or the Count, left behind in the place where
they were landed. The other packages were taken away
by the porter, and witness, upon finding that the mistake
had been made, locked up the package in the store, and
delivered it next morning to the prisoner, who appeared at
the Custom-house with an order from the Count to the fol-
lowing effect :--" A wooden box, covered with a tarpaulin ;
the address, Count E. De Milfort, London." It was after
nine o'clock when the prisoner took away the box, which
was perfectly secure, and screwed and nailed down, and
exactly is th• same state in which it was landed.
Edward Count De Milfort stated that by accident the

package was left behind when all the other packages were
brought away from the Custom-house by the prisoner. As
soon as the package was missed, the Countess directed the
prisoner to apply for it at the place where it was deposited,
but to her great surprise the prisoner never returned till
nine o'clock at night, and then delivered the package, with
marks upon it of having been wrenched and broken open.
1. gold bracelet and a gold chain, of the value of 181., had
been taken out, and it was odd enough that the thing left
behind in the package was a box containing jewels of the
value of 1,0001.

Tke prisoner was a porter in the employment of a cart
keeper, and upon receiving the package in the morn-
ing he went with it to his master's yard, and deposited it
there till it was convenient to take it in a cart to Kensing-

ton-square. He bad been paid very liberally, having re-
ceived 18s. for the two jobs, and he know nothing at all
about the breaking open of the package.
The case was remanded, and John Forrester was di-
rected to make an investigation into it.
Deputy Corney, of Bread-street Ward, appeared before
the Lord Mayor to complain that Mr. Borrop, the sta-
tioner, and several other tradesmen had been victimized by
a set of swindlers who had pitched upon the house No. 3,
Cushion-court, Old Broad-street, as the place in which to
carry on a system of plunder of the most extensive kind.
The present tenants of that house had contrived, with
the aid of others, to whom they referred the trades-
people, to testify as to their responsibility, to fill the
apartments with goods of all descriptions, obtained by the
fraudulent co-operation of the various branches of the
gang. He (Mr. Corney) bad, in consequence of the ad-
vice of his Lordship, set a watch upon the house,
with directions to observe all that was going on there,
and with orders not to allow any goods to be removed
from it under any circumstances, but to caution all
persons who may desire to communicate with those
within not to have any dealings with them ex-
cept for ready money. The officers appointed to the
duty of keeping an eye upon the premises followed one
person from the house to a house in the neighbourhood,
and found there some of the account books which Mr.
Borrop had bat a few days ago sent to No. 3, Cushion-
court, in consequence of a recommendation of the cus-
tomer by a person whom he considered to he respectable,
and who had carried on business in the City upwards of a
year and a half without suspicion.
The LORD MAYOR—That is the way in wlich they do
business. Some of the gang take premises and pay every
body ; they then recommend others of the gang, who suc-
ceed, upon such undeniable recommendations, and get a
large amount of property for which they pay nobody.
Deputy Corney was determined to rout all villains of

this description out of the City.
Mr. Hobler said that the LORD MAYOR had repeatedly
cautioned the tradesmen of London against fellows who
were exercising all their ingenuity to plunder in the manner
described ; and the Deputy had given a death-blow, by the
prompt course he had adopted, to the success of the te-
nants of No. 3, Cushion-court. The course next to be
adopted was to indict the whole set for a conspiracy.
Deputy Corney said that there certainly ought to be
some immediate and decisive means of getting rid of such
scoundrel. He was resolved to go to Parliament for an
Act by which the offence could be reached.

The LORD MAYOR—How many are there in the gang ?
Deputy Corney—l should say there are about twenty in
this gang.

The LORD MAYOR—The course you have pursued in
placing a watch upon the premises, according to the sug-
gestion of Mr. Hobler, with directions to caution all per-
sons, appears to me the most efficacious.
Deputy Corney—My object is to prosecute for the con-
spiracy, and I am determined to do all I can to get at
every man of the gang. lam determined to root them all
out. I have now commenced, and I shall be indefatigable.
The goods already seized by the officers were then or-
dered to be detained,

HATTON GARDEN.
Yesterday, Mary Daly, sister to Mrs. Daly, the aotre3s,
was finally examined, charged by Nathaniel Forrester Ed-
wards, a law writer, of. No. 6, Duke's place, St. Pancras,
with bigamy. The particulars of the case have already
appeared before the public. The prisoner was ordered to
find bail to appear at the Old Bailey to answer the
charge, which she eventually did and was liberated,
