POLICE INTELLIGENCE—VEs Day,

MARLBORCCGH-STREET.

THE OUTCASTS IN THE PARKS —Mr. Rogers, one of
the cilicers of St. George's parish, waited upon Mr. Knox
this morning, and stated in refe once to the above subject
that he had, ou the part of St. George's parish, been in
communication with the Commissioners of Woods ant
Forests and the Commissioners of Police, and ascertained
that a correspondence had been going on between them, the
Commissioners of Police being aware of the alarming
extent of the nuisance, and that stei,s were about being
taken for the purpose of suppressing the evil.
Mr. Knox said he was very glad to hear it, for the evil
required suppression, for the sake, not only of the poor
creatures—two of whom were before him the previous day
and than whose appearance nothing could be more de-
plorable—but for the protection of the public.
The number admitted to the infirmary of St. Georg3's
Workhouse has been rather understated—the number
altogether being 47—one female stating that she had not
left the park for five weeks I living there night and day.
CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS—PEIIMITTINO
BAD CHARACTERS TO ASSEMBLE IN A PUBLIC-HOUSE,—
Mr George Axtell, of the Horse and Groom, Castle-street,
Leicester-square, appeared to answer the complaint of the
police of permitting bad characters—(to wit, thieves and
prostitutes)—knowingly to asoemble in his house, contrary
to his license.

Gordon, 323 A, proved visiting the defendant's house and
seeing eleven girls he knew as prostitutes, and five young
men about 18 years of age, two of whore he knew to have.
been convicted of felony, and two to be always in company
of the little prostitutes frequenting Leicester-square. Ile
(Gordon) spoke to the defendant, asking him to turn the
persons out, but he said they were doing no harm, and de-
clined to do so.

Defendant said he had only had the house three months,
and did not know what sort of characters the persons were.
Mr. Knox said that the officer informed the defendant
what sort of characters he had in his place, and then ho
said they were doing no harm.
Mr. Knox fined the defendant 405., and advised him to
be cautious for the future, as the police would very properly
be on the alert.
The defendant paid the fine.

THAMES.
JUVENILE DELINQUENCY.—Edward King, awell-dressed
and intelligent boy 14 years of age, was brought up on re-
mand before Mr. Partridge charged with stealing a half-
sovereign.

Mr. R. Tindal Terry, the uncle of the boy, and dwelling
at No. 12, Arbour. square, Stepney, said the prisoner had
frequently plundered his father, and a few days since he
stole a half-sovereign, which he said he had taken from his
father's bed.

Mr. Partridge said the prisoner had been in custody a week,
and he hoped he was a better boy. He asked him if he
would promise to behave better in future if he discharged
him.
106 51 The boy—Yes, sir, I will.

Mr Terry thought the hoy was quite incorrigible, and
said he had robbed his father four times. The father, who
was a cripple, had been knocked down in the streets, and
had £6O a year to live upon ; but he had better pay half of
that money to keep the boy in a reformatory than have him
at home.

71 701

Mt. Partridge declined to send the boy to a reformatory,
and said if he was brought before him again on a similar
charge he would do so, and order the whole of the expenses
of his maintenance to be defrayed by the father.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
Our market to-day was but moderately supplied with
beasts, chiefly in middling condition. The few prime
breeds on offer moved off steadily, at Monday's currency,
the top figure being ss. per Sib., otherwise the beef trade
was heavy at late rates. There was a good consumptive in-
quiry for sheep, and previous quotations were well sup..
ported. The best Downs realised ss. 4d. to Sc. 6d. per Bib.
A few choice calves produced 45. 81 per 81b; but inferior
qualities of veal were a dull sale, at Monday's currencies.
Pigs and mulch cows were very dull, and rather drooping.

The Marshals and Generals of France.

By the death of Marshal Count d'Ornano the
number of marshals of France is reduced to ten, of
whom six served in an inferior rank under the first
Napoleon. The ten marshals now existing were
created by the present Emperor. One of them is
Minister of War, another Minister of the Emperor's
household, six hold important commands, on© is
placed at the head of the Imperial Guard, and .Nlar-
shal Forey, the last promoted, is expected shortly
in France from Mexico.

General Cunt Schramm, now Lieutenant-Gene-
ral, was promoted to the rank of General of Brigade
by the first Napoleon. 113 is the last of his generals
with the exception of Count de Lagrange and the
Duke de Fezensae.

Among the Generals of Division in active service
there exist none promotei to that rank by the Go-
vernment of the Restoration, and but two—the Mar-
quis d'Hautpoul, grand referendary of the Senate,
and General Count Schramm—appointed by the
present
Government of Louis Philippe. The other Generals
of Division and of Brigade were all promoted by the
Emperor.
Anlo4 g the Generals on the list of the reserve are
three Generals of Division—Count 'Lagrange, the
Duke de Fezenzle, and the Duke de Mortemart—
appointed by the Government of the Restoration,
and 20 by the Government of July.
Among the Generals of Brigade of the second sec-
tion of the Staff there are five appointed by the Go-
vernment of the itstorat ion, and 64 by the Govern-
ment of Louis Philippe. All the others were
promoted by Napoleon 111.

Niue Generals of Division, having acted as Corn-
mauders-in-Cnief, are maintained until their death
in the first section of the reserve by the law of the
4th of August, 1839. They are the Count de
P
Schram, the Marquis d'Hant otll, Guesvi ler,
Charon, Herbillon, Camon, Thiry, Dalesmes, and
the Count de Palikao. W these nine generals six
are senators.

LITERATURE,

Rachel .Ray. A Novel. By Inthony Trollop°.
Two vols. Chapman and Hall.
As charming a story as any yet penned by An-
thony Trollope, "Rachel Ray"is, after all, nothing
more pretentious than a faithful delineation of life
as it actually is in an English cauntry town and its
suburbs. The work as a work of art is wholly
unambitious, but it is, from firs; to last, we cannot
help repeating it, charming. I; is like one of those
masterly little sketches by a great artist dashed
down with a few apparently careless and unstudied
touches of coloured crayons upon a rough-grained
neutral-tinted drawing-board—eketches so glowing
into life and beauty under the rapid hand of the
artist, that they even win from us a more instant
and cordial admiration for the consummate drill
with which they have been wrought then that same
artist's more elaborate compositions, in more endur-
ing materials, in oil, or in water colours, or as in
the instance of Maclise's later masterpieces in that
evondeeful medium—that medium of perennial fresh-
ness and beauty—water-glass. As it appears to
us, Mr. Anthony Trollope, so to speak, has worked
(with how facile and untiring a pencil !) in
each end all of these materials. He has
so worked, in mediums of such diversity and with
such a ready adaptation of his powers to the re-
quirements of each, that he has already become one
of the most voluminous as well as one of the most
popular novelists of hie day. There are characters,
moreover, which he has conjured up into imagi-
nary existence that may take their place, side by
side, with the happiest creations of the most rarely-
gifted among his contemporaries. The Archdeacon
Grantley of Anthony Trollope may be ranked un-
hesitatingly, as a kindly and humorous creation of
this exceptionalkind, oven with the Mrs. Poyser of
Mary Anne Evans and the Colonel Newsome of
W. M. Thackeray—with the Captain Cuttle of
Charles Diekene, and Bit Bulwer Lytton's spiedle-
shanked and red-umbrella'd Riccabocca. .6 Bar-
chester Towers," " Dr. Thorne," and the earlier
volume of " The Warden"—the last-mentioned
being the book that first riveted public attention
upon the genius of Anthony Trollope, to the instant
recognition of its delightful freshness and originality
—those three purely clerical stories may be re-
ferred to here as comprising within them the first
epoch of our writer's career as a novelist. An inter-
mediate period there has elapsed since then, in
which various highly entertaining but, as it seemed
to us while reading them, far more carelessly
written narratives, narratives, for the most part, of
a manifestly ephemeral character, were scrawled
off with wonderful rapidity—about the best of these,
to our thinking, being our author's romance of
" Castle Richmond." Afterwards have appeared
in various forms, now as a serial tale in monthly
parts, now as a periodical contribution to one of
the popular magazines, now as a separate and com-
plete publication, works of a far more highly elabo-
rated character, brilliant fictions such as " Orley
Farm," and " Framley Parsonage." In " Rachel
Ray " we have no such ingenious complication of
plot, or subtle analysis of character as are recog-
nisable in those ltbri majoree of Anthony Trollope.
The novel, for one thing, is of lesser dimensions.
The plot of it, for another, is the simplest well
imaginable. Incidents of a momentous character
there are none. Throughout the whole of the two
volumes, it is nothing less than refreshing, in these
days of sensational writing, to find not one solitary
mystery. The scene is laid entirely in
Devonshire. Principally in the little county
town of Baslehurst. The course of the events
related in the narrative, only once, for a very
brief interval, taking us in one brief chapter of the
second volume 40 miles by railway from the imme-
diate neighbourhood of the little town of Baslehurst
--namely to the city of Exeter, the capital of De-
vonshire. Otherwise, from the opening of the tale
to the close of it, we loiter about the streets or in
the houses of Baslehurst—sauntering now into the
village of Cawston, in quest of the simple-hearted
Rector, old Mr. Comfort—driving with Butler Corn•
bury (before the close of the story M.P. for Basle-
hurst) along the beautiful highway leading to Corn
bury Grange, the old Squire's residence—and
becoming more and more pleasantly familiar with
every nook and corner of the pretty little cottage
at Bragg's End, in which resides the heroine of the
fiction, sweet, charming Rachel Ray : together with
her widowed mother, Mrs. Riy (far more simple-
hearted even than her favourite clergyman, Mr. Corn-
fort)—and besides Rachel's widowed mother, her
widowed sister, Mrs. Prime, grimly, acidly, cynically
evangelical. The homely, natural,lifelike, delicately-
pencilled portraits of the women here cluster.
ing together in Baslehurat, are among the
happiest of Mr. Trollope's delineations. There
is a touch of the immortal Mrs. Poyser, already
mentioned above, in the little incidental outline of
Mra. Sturt, the farmer's dame, on the opposite side
of the green, at Bragg's End, to the Ray's Cottage.
Mrs. Sturt relieving her sympathetic heart while
mourning over Bach el's temporary estrangement
from her lover, Luke Rowan, with such old Devon-
shire rhymes as—" It's passing sweet when two
hearts meet. But it breaks the heart when true hearts
part." The TaPPites, too, are capitally drawn—
not only the coarse, bluff, hard-headed, not to
say pig-headed, old bully of a father, Mr. Tappitt,
brewer, of Baslehurst, as acting partner or repre-
sentative of the firm of Dungan and Tappitt, but
his " womankind" as well. Mrs. Tappitt, that
most bungling of match-making, or any rate to
that end manceavring mammas—who, in her florid
and roundabout person is a sort of casual justifica-
tion of Nathaniel ---14awthorne's horrid portrait of
the English dowager. And, with Mrs. Tappitt,
the mamma, the three Miss Tappitts her daughters
—Martha, the staidest, and eldest, who is all for
justice and common sense, Augusta, who having
vainly set her cap at Luke, becomes scornful,
not to say spiteful in temperament for ever
afterwards, as the consequence of her failure in that
same laudable effort, and the best of the bunch, the
flower of the flock, cheery Cherry Tappitt, the truest
friend amongst them all, that is amongst the Tap.
pitt family, to Rachel Ray. For charming, little,
innocent, tender love scons, we know nothing
prettier, in that way, than can be found in this same
homely tale of the lov©s of Rachel flay and Luke
Rowan. Instance the sunset scene under the elms
near the stile of the old churchyard at Baslehurst !
Or that other scene upon the landing of the brewery
house in the midst of the Ball, whither our unso-
phisticated heroine Rachel has been chaperoned by
charming Mrs. Butler Coeuhury of the Grange,
nee Patty Comfort. (1: the parlour scene in the
cottage at Bragg's End when Rachel nods (with a
very little nod indeed) her acceptance of Luke as
her betrothed. Or after the lengthened and heart-
wearying estrangement of the lovers, their final
meeting in Mrs. Sturt's back Parlour at the farm
house on the opposite side of the green : that dear
little delightful back parlour, looking out upon the
farm kitchen-garden with its roses and cabbages.
The ball at the hrewery-house, the contention be-
tween Tappitt and Bowan about the brewery
business, and the stormy election for the
borough, when the Jew tailor, Mr. Hart,
from ever so many houses in Shoreditch,
and ever so many other houses in Regent-street, is
defeated by a majority of one by the young squire
Butler Cornbury, who has taken Betty Comfort to
wife, and is now M.P. for Baslehurst ! These are
among the most important incidents or occurrences
of any note, here recorded in this glibly written and
alluring little narrative. As among the few more
passages in the two volumes,
serious and thoughtful
we are tempted here to transcribe from the pages of
Rachel Ray, from the electioneering part of the
story of course, the following :

achieve for him. The doctrine of outward equality he
eschews as a barrier to all ambition, and to all improvement.
The idea is as mean as the thing is impracticable. But
within,—is it in his soul or in his heart ?—within his breast
there is a manhood that will own no inferiority to the man-
hood of another. He retires to a corner that an earl with
his suit may pass proudly through the doorway, and he
grudges the earl nothing of his pride. It is the earl's right.
But he also has his right ; and neither queen, nor earl, nor
people shall invade it, That is the creed of a radical.
Connected also with the electioneering part of
the work is the subjoined most humourous picture,
from-the-life, of the-
110121teliS OF A PUBLIC DINNER AT AN INN.
A horrid mess concocted of old gravy, catsup, and bad
wine was distributed under the name of soup. Then there
came upon the table half a huge hake,—the very worst fish
that swims, a fish with which Devonshire is peculiarly in-
vested. SJrne hard dark brown mysterious balls were
banded round, which on being opened with a knife were
found to contain sausage-meat, very greasy and by no
means cooked through. Even the dam ilia of the liberal
electors of Baslehurst declined to make acquaintance with
these dainties. After that came the dinner, consisting of a
piece of roast beef very raw, and a leg of parboiled mutton,
absolutely blue in its state of raw.iess. When the gory
mess was seen which displayed itself on the first incision
mace into these lumps of meat, the vice-president and one
or two of his friends spoke out aloud. That hard and
greasy sausage meat might have been all right for any-
thing they knew to the contrary, and the soup they had
swallowed without complaint. But they did know what
should be the state of a joint of meat when brought to the
table, and therefore they spoke out in their anger.
Tappit himself said nothing that was intended to be
carried beyond the waiter, seeing that beer from
his own brewery was consumed in the tap of the Dragon;
but the vice-president was a hardware dealer with
whom the Dragon had but small connection of trade, and he
sent terrible messages down to the landlady, threatening
ber with the Blue Boar, the Mitre, and even with that
nasty little pot-house the Chequers. " What is it they ex-
pects for their three-and-sixpence?" said the landlady, in
her wrath; fcr it must be understood that Sharpit knew
well that he was dealing with one who understood the value
of money, and that he did not feel luite sure of passing the
dinner in Mr. Hart's bill. Then came a pie with crust an
inch thick, which nobody could eat, and a cabinet pudding,
so called, full of lumps of suet. I venture to assert that each
liberal elector there would have got a better dinner at home,
and would have been served with greater comfort ; but a
public dinner at an inn is the recognised relaxation of a
middle-class Englishman in the provinces. Did he nut
attend such banquets his neighbours would conceive him to
be constrained by domestic tyranny. Others go to them,
and therefore he goes also. He is bored frightfully by every
speech to which he listens. He is driven to the lowest
depths of dismay by every speech which he is called upon
to make. He is thoroughly disgusted when he is called on
to make no speech. He has no point of sympathy with the
neighbours between whom he sits. The wine is bad. The
hot water is brought to him cold. His seat is hard and
crowded. No attem2t is made at the pleasures of conversa-
tion. He is continually called upoa to stand up that he
may pretend to drink a toast in honour of some person or
institution for which he cares nothing ; for the hero of the
evening, as to whom he is probably indifferent; for the
church, which, perhaps, he never enters; the army,
which he regards as a hotbed of aristocratic in-
solence; or for the Queen whom he- reveres and
loves by reason of his nature as an Englishman, but against
whose fulsome praises as repeated to him ad nauseam in the
chairman's speech his very soul unconsciously revolts. It
is all a bore, trouble, ennui, nastiness, and discomfort. But
yet he goes again and again,—because it is the relaxation
natural to an Englishman.
There is something gravely farcical in Mr. Anthony
Trollope's description of that exceedingly low
church parson—low enough to reach the level of
dissent--sleek, worldly-prudent, short, unctuous
Mr. Prong. Of a less obtrusive kind, Mr. Prong is
of the yenta Chadband. The almost, so to speak,
ecclesiastical love scenes between Mr. Prong and
Mrs. Prime during the anxious period for

both of their temporary betrothal (for their
wooing never scenes to anything, but is

well conceivable, to the charming love scenes already

The only thing the reader is at all disposed to

THE DELIGHTS OF WORD HUNTING.--There are
few more instructive occupations than dictionary
making; and Dr Lowden did his work honestly. None of
his neighbours in scarlet and top-boots hunted a fox with
a more keen relish for the sport than this crippled old man
chased the words up and down, out of one book and through
another. When they broke cover from the mother tongue,
he worried them out of one language into another, never
suffering himself or Ralph to rest until he had run them to
earth in their original roots. Then, proudly as
