POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

• . MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A couple of lrindsomely-dressed ladies entered the office
yesterday, and, in great trepidation, inquired if marriages
were appointed to be solemnised there? The younger of
the ladies had made recent arrangements to enter into the
state of double blessedness ; but, to her great alarm, she had
been infOrmed the new Marriage. Act had come into opera-
tion, and therefore it was recessary to make herself ac-
quainted with its peculiar details. She had been that morn-
ing half over the parish to inquire where the matrimonial
office was situated, but, to her great dismay, she could gain
no intelligence of it. On inquiry at the watchhouse in Po-
landtsteept her fears were further increased by the infor-
mation that no office had yet been erected for the district
in which she resided ; and that, owing to some unex-
pected difficulty, it was not bkely that the provisions of the
Act could be brought into operation. To case her mind
msh ag e had'rcsolved upon making an application to the police
istrates.
The ladies were introduced to Mr. DYER, and, having
stated their case,
W. DYER politely expressed his regret that he hat no
information of a consolatory nature to give.
" What will be best for me to do ?" asked the matrimo-
nially disposed lady.
Mr. DYER again repeated his inability to afford any in-
formation ; and botii ladies took their leave with coun-
tenances filled with dismay.

The Duke of Sutherland gave his ninth grand
dinner, at Stamford House, on Thursday
evening, to the
Princess Lieven, Earl and Countess of Jersey, Prince Paul
Lieven, Lady Elizabeth Howard, Lord Leveson and bride,
and Lady John Russell.

On Saturday evening Dr. Robinson, of London,
delivered the third of a series of dissertations on poisons, before
the faculty,' of the Maidstone Infirmary. The subject of the
evening was principally corrosive sublimate, on the mode ot
detecting which the learned lecturer imparted some twast
valuable hints. At the conclusion of the dissertati,,at the
effect of prussic acid was tried upon a rabbit. Ttiree drops
were administered from a glass (the surface 'of which most
probably abstracted half of the quantity); and the animal
immediately exhibited the usual synaptcriis—increased action
of the lungs, dilatation of the pupils, and the peculiar shrill
cry which in such cases is generally indicative of immediately
approaching dissolution. In ordez to give it a shrine° of
r.covery, however, a few drops of ammonia were adminis-
tered, without apparent benefit. A constant stream of cold
water was then poured upon the base of the skull, and along
the spine, when the animal very shortly exhibited symptous
of resuscitation. It was then wrapped in warm flannel. In k
quarter of an hour it was sufficiently recovered to walk. Dr.
Robinson had in a former lecture mentioned that this mode of
treatment had been discovered by accident. A cat, utlieb had

since successfully applied to more than one human subject who
had taken prussic acid. No instance, however, had coma
within Dr. Robinson's knowledge where an animal had been
restored after the symptoms which this rabbit exhibited; and
the singularity of the case struck the faculty as being ak

REPRESENTATION OF EAST
SURREY.

Last evening a most numerous and respectable meet,
of the electors of East Surrey took place at the Bridge-
house Hotel, London-br:dge ; Mr. Hardy in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, after having explained the objects of the
meeting, had the pleasure of informing the electors of East
Surrey that two Liberal candidates would present themselves
to solicit their suffrages.—( Loud cheers.) One of their can-
didates, as they were all aware, was the Honourable Locke
Kng. (Mr Hume, M.P., and Mr. Warburton, M. P., here
metered tl.e :ooir., and were received with loud and continued
applause.) The Chairman prceteded to remark, that the ap-
pearance of those two gentlemen may he considered as a
good omen at their side.—(Cheer?.) Ile had spoken of a
second candidate, and he assured them that befoere twenty
an-
He did not
four hours, in all probability, a second candidat would
nounce himself..—( Cries " Name, name.")
think he was quite at liberty to mention his name
eated his
ing forward depended on a contingency.—(Rep
" Name.") After some hesitation, the Chairman, in com-
pliance with the desire of the meeting, announced to them
that Mr. Angerstein, the representative of Greenwich, would
seek the honour of being their representative. (This an.
nouncement was received with loud cheers by the meeting.)
JOHN PALMER, Esq., proposed the first resolution.
Mr. Hume then presented himself, and when the applatiee
subsided, said he had great pleasure in coming forward in sup-
phpt of their on. Candidate, and te cause was the estem
,lch he enteHrtained for his distinhguiehed father, arid` the
friendship which they had reciprocally felt.—( Cheers.) He
knew no better Reformer than that Nobleman was, and he
recollected well the time when they in their advocacy of Re-
ferm, that Nobleman in the House of Lords, and he in the
Houle of Commons, had been each of the:n singular in their
principles.—( Cheers.) He would feel happy, then to exert
himself in promoting the election of that Nobleman's son.—
( Cheers.) ( Mr. Leader here entered amid loud applause.)
He was glad that Mr. Leader had been so well received by
them, for he could assure the meeting that gentleman too
would prove a good one.—(Laughter, and cries of "we hope
you will sit beside him.") He hoped so, too.—( Laughter. )
He need not remind them of the extravagant and profligate
expenditure which the Tories had occasioned the country. In
all the efforts made to defeat corruption hitherto, they had to
contend against a hostile court. That evil exists no longer.
No: Tories surround the throne of our young Queen.—
(Cheers.) Not a Tory, male or female.—( Cheers and laugh-
ter.) They ought therefore, to avail themselues of the pre-
sent happy prospect. The Hon. Member concluded a power-
ful speech by expressing his hope that at the election after
the ensuing one the honest voter would possess the protection
of the ballot.
Mr. LEADER hoped that the electors of East Surrey would
obtain the triumph of electing two Reformers. One of their
candidates (Mr. Locke King) would, as he was sure they all
believed, do his duty. He would take the liberty of telling
them an anecdote of the other gentleman who he understood
bad been announced as their candidate, Mr Angerstein.
That gentleman had at an early age been sent into Parliament
10 the old boroughmongering times, as a Representative of a
borough, by his father. Now, it so happened, that the -son
differed a little from his father in politics. The son was a
little too !iberal for the old gentleman.—( Laughter.) The
consequence eras, that as Mr. Angerstein would not change
his tone of politics, his father would not sehd him any more to
Parliament, and for twenty years he remained out of the
House of Commons, on account of his opposition in political
principles to his own father':—(Long-continued cheering.)
The Hon. LOCKE KING, Ivho was most enthusiastically re-
ceived, would proceed to explain to them a few of his politi-
cal opinions—first, as to the Ballot. He regretted that a ne-
cessity for that measure existed, he was sorry that the Tories
and the Aristocracy would not allow the people the liberty of
voting without intimidation ; but notwithstanding his sorrow
for that, he felt that freedom of election could not be enjoyed
without it.—(Cheers.) As for the extension of the suffrage
he thought it ought to be effected according to the advance of
education. No man dreaded-or disliked Toryism more than
him.--( Hear.) He dreaded it as it were by instinct.—( A
laugh.) Between them—between the Tories and the Re-
formers of the country, the contest now lay. For his part,
the motto he would bear with him in this great struggle would
be the words of his ancestor Locke, and they were expressive
of the dearest aspiration of his heart—" absolute liberty, equal
and true liberty, just and impartial liberty."—( Loud cheers.)
The resolution, expressive of the determination of the electors
of East Surrey, to support Mr. Locke King and another Li-
beral candidate at the ensuing election was carried unanimously.
Mr. JAMES HOLLAND briefly, but ably, addressed the
electors.
Mr. WARBURTON, amid loud applause, addressed the meet-
ing. He would take the liberty of warning the electors not
to return a Tory as their Representative together with a lie-
' former ; let them return two Reformers, and not make a
single-handed election.—( Hear, hear.) If they may not sup-
pose one of their Liberal candidates to be as good as they de-
sire, they ought nevertheless remember the old maxim, " of
two evils choose the least." None of them, he hoped, would
deny that Mr. Angerstein would be a better Representative
than Captain Alsager.—( Cheers. )
Mr. Hewes, M P., begged of them to recollect that the
next Parliament would most probably last for seven years, and
they should therefore be cautious of electing any man whom
they did not think likely to be a faithful Representative of their
wishes and feelings.
Mr. NUNN then put some questions to the candidate pre-
sent, Mr. Locke King. as to the manner in which he would
vote on the questions of Church-rates, the Ballot, the Corn
Laws, and whether he would consider the Reform Bill a final
measure, and also what he thought of a reform of the House
of Lords ?
Mr. LOCKE KING said, that as to the Church-rtes, he
would vote for the Bili proposed by his Majesty's Ministers
fur their abolition.--( Cheers.) The Ballot he was favourable
to—(Cheers)—and by no means considered the Reform Bill
as a final measure.—(Loud cheers.) On the Corn-law
question he thought that the tax on the importation of corn
could not, safely, be suddenly taken off, without ruin to
thousands of the agricultural portion of the community. His
opinions on the Reform of the House of Lords were these :
he thought that the system of voting by proxy ought to be
abolished, and that the Bishops should cease to have a vote in
that House. He thought the only use which they were to the
Church in that House was to defend its abuses.—( Cheers. )
The thanks of the meeting having been then voted to the
Chairman, the assembly separated.

REPRESENTATION OF THE CITY
OF LONDON.

Last night a numerous meeting of the electors of' the City
of London, connected with the Ancient and Honourable
Lumber Troop, took place in the Troop-house, at the Dr.
Johnson's Head Tavern, Bolt-court, Fleet-street, for the pur-
pose of receiving the present Members of the City. Amongst
the gentlemen present we noticed Mr. Alderman Wood,
M. P. ; Mr. Grote, M. P. ; Mr. Crawford, M. P. ; Mr. Pat-
tison, M. P. ; Mr. A. Travers, Mr. Taylor, Mr. Heppe],
Mr. Charles, Mr. Pritchard, &c. &c.
Colonel CONST barite, taken the Chair, introduced to the
notice of the meeting the respective candidates fur the City
then present.
Mr. Alderman WOOD then rose amidst loud cheers. He
said that it was now many years since he had been enrolled a
member of their body. Since then be had commanded a re-
giment called " the bloody eight"--( Laughter)—for it had
succeeded in killing one of its own men.—( Increased laugh-
ter.) He believed that the return of four Reformers for the
City of London would give a tone to the other elections
throughout the country. He trusted that in a new Parlia-
ment the Queen's Government would look to the people—that
they would consider it was to the people they owed their
power, and that it was only by upholding popular measures
they could expect to possess the continued confidence of the
great mass of the public.---( Applause.) It was expected that
the dissolution of Parliament would take place on Tuesday
next, and the electors would, therefore, be called upon very
soon to exercise their elective franchise.
Mr. GROTE next rose to address the meeting, and was re-
ceived with loud applause. Of the conduct which he intended
to pursue, should they again honour him, by returning him to
Parliament, he need hardly say a word, for they had his poli-
tical conduct for the last five years before them.—(llear.)
From the first day that he had entered Parliament up to the
present, his object had been to sustain the progression and ad-
vancement of Reform. He held that there should he no dif-
ference between the rich and the poor in voting, and that the
voice of the one ought to he as well weighed in the mass of
the constituency as that of the other.—( Hear.) He knew
well that there were many who doubted the efficiency of this
mode of voting ; but he had the satisfaction also of knowing
that the question of the Ballot had made astonishing progress
within the last five years.—( fLar, hear.) He regretted to
find by the newspapers of that morning, that the House of
Lords had thrown out the Parliamentary Elections Bill,
- which, although it would not have made much difference
on the subject, would at least have made some, as it would
have extended the time at which those rates should be paid
from July to October. He regretted, he said, to find that
even such a proposition had been ;ejected by that House where
so many other good measures had been lost.—(Cheers and
hisses.) There were other matters connected with constitu-
tional reform which he had supported in Parliament. He al-
luded to the question as to whether Members of Parliament
slusuld have a property qualification. (Hear.) . He e
naescelzetly
con-
tender: that there was no
such quas-tfeation, for an electorproof mofigh—tthhe of
electany
a bad rich mart as a bad poor man.—( Hear, hear.) y toile also
supported the Et.7lish
.Municipal Reform Bill,' and the Bl
for the abolition of CSureli-rates—a measure that was founded
in justice and fairness. There were other points of Ministerial
policy which he felt it to be his duty to support. He alluded
especially to those measutes which they had brought forward
in respect to Ireland.—( Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") He
always supported the Ministry with pleasure, and when he
differed with them he did so with regret. He thought that if
the Ministers adopted a bolder line of policy they would act
with greater propriety, for by adopting a timid course they
mad their enemies bolder in their hostility.—( Hear.)
Mr. CRAWFORD, who was also received with cheers, said, if
he were again elected, again be would endeavour to do his
duty by his c.'.'.untry and his constituents.
Mr. PATTISON next addressed the assembly amidst applause,
wsn.onAtall ded to the questions which he had supported in Par-
r":";7s.-r.lim .. and said he trusted that his conduct would ensure him
