A CI-DEVANT FASHIONABLIR REGION.—About
a stone'i throw from Russell-square there is a formal old-
fashioned street, one side of which consists of small houses,
the majority of which are usually let out in lodgings to the
minor class of merchants, foreign as well as domestic, who
having no city establishment of their own content themselves
with a mere counting-house ; or to single gentlemen of
slender income from the country, who come one week to
take wing the next. The other side consists of a quaint
range of dingy buildings, vast in structure, aristocratic in
aspect, with lofty entrance halls, broad stone staircases,
and sculptured doorways of a pattern now all but extinct.
During the major part of the 18th century this street, or
rather this side of it, for the other was not then built, was
one of the favourite abodes of metropolitan wealth and
rank ; Int its glory has long since departed from it, and
few save those in its immediate neighbourhood know it oven
by name. Towards the west it expands into an antiquated
square, the garden of which is laid out in the style of Queen
Anne's day, with a wooden statue of a crowned king at one
end, and a dumpy church at the other, hard by which stands
a cobbler's stall, and eastward it terminates in a bustling
thoroughfare—the only convenient way by which horses and
carriages can approach it. Pass by this street at any hour
of the day you please and scarce a soul shall you meet with,
except, perhaps, some prim old lady creeping stiffly along
with a powdered footman behind her, or a veteran lawyer
retired retired from the world, and anxious for solitude.

UNION-HALL.

Yesterday an elderly man, of decent appearance, ac-
companied by a little boy, his son, made application for re-
lief, being, as he said, in great distress, and having been re-
fused parochial aid that morning. The Magistrate, per-
ceiving that the poor man and his child were objects of
distress, directed the clerk to give them a trifle out of the
poor-box kept in the office to relieve their present exigencies.

W R SHIP- S TREE T.
Yesterday James Prior, coachman of the Rocket Cam-
bridge coach, No. 4,455, was placed at the bar before Mr.
Codd and Mr. Simpson (a connty magistrate), charged
with running over a child nine years old.
Police constable Dennis Power, 11 93, that about half-
past two o'clock that day he was on duty in High-street,
Shoreditch, when he saw the Rocket Cambridge coach
drawn by four horses, having eleven passengers, and heavily
laden, on its way to Cambridge, proceeding at a rate of
about seven miles an hour, when a little boy ran from be-
hind an omnibus, and was instantly knocked down by the
leaders. The horses trampled on him, and, on pulling up,
the hind off wheel rested on the child's chest for a few
seconds. He was taken by witness into Mr. Edmonds's (a
surgeon), in High-street, who said that he had some ribs
broken, and who recommended that he should be taken to
the London Hospital.
Mr. CODD—According to the best judgment you could
form do you attribute blame to the coachman ? Power—l
do not. W hen aware of the accident he pulled up with all
his might.
Mr. Reece, of No. 248, High-street, stated that there
was a sand-cart and an omnibus between which the prisoner
had to pass. He had passed the cart, and at that moment
the child came from the tail of the omnibus. The coach-
man was not to blame.
The defendant was held to bail in his own recognizance of
501. The defendant said that his coach was waiting for him.

LAMBETH-STREET.
A very remarkable-looking Lascar, who gave his name
as Wallace, was charged with being concerned with six
others of his tribe in committing a most violent outrage at
the Angel public-house, in High-street, Poplar, on the
night of the 27th of last month.
The prisoner, who spoke tolerably good English, denied
the charge, but was ordered to pay a sum of 1/. 19s. 6d., the
amount of his share of the dz.mage, or, in default thereof,
to stand committed to the House of Correction for a month.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

HATTON-GARDEN.

Yesterday Francis Harrison, a well-known smasher, and
Mar.;aret Newland, were brought before the Magistrates,
in the custody of Thornton, No. 53, E division, charged on
suspicion of robbery, and with a violent assault upon him
in the execution of his duty. .

Thornton, on Wednesday night last saw the prisoner
Harrison, and another well-known thief, in High-street, St.
Giles's, disputing as to which was entitled to a silk hand-
kerchief, and suspecting that they had stolen it he ques-
tioned them, when they assaulted him, and made off. He
pursued them, when Harrison ran into a house, and his
companion escaped. Witness entered the house and ap-
prehended the prisoner, who resisted, and the female pri-
soner attempted to rescue him, and beat witness over the
eyes And face, and gave him a tremendous pair •of black
eyes, and with considerable difficulty they were taken to the
station-house. Witness returned to the Louse, and ascer-
tained that the prisoner lodged there ; and on sear-thing the
room he found another man there, and a crucible for, melt-
ing silver and metals, moulds for coining, metal, plaster of
Paris, and other implements—applicable to the purposes of
coining, which he seized, and took the man into custody.
In a cupboard he found several written papers in the flash
language, and the following letter
:
Dear Frank—l should advise you to be very coitious,
us you are in hawkerd prcdickiment. Beware and leave
your lodgings as soon as possible, and take your traps with
you. I send this here nonimouse letter as your friend, as I.
nose that ere Mister Powell (the Solicitor) of the Mint is
got sent and you are Lure to be caughthold, or if you docent
take this ere friendly caition so agin beware, and believe as
how I sin yours sincerely, " A FRIEND."
Mr. LAING asked Waddington, the gaoler, whether he
knew the prisoner ?
Waddington said that he was a notorious smasher, and
ho had been convicted of felony.
Prisoner—Vy how can you say so ? I never vas here
in all my life afore ; as for the hankerchief, it is my own, and
I picked it up in the street.
Mr. LAING committed him to the House of Correction
and hard-labour for three months, and the female was con-
victed in the penalty of 51. for the assault, or to be com-
mitted to prison for two months.
She was committed in default of payment.
jValiana Jones, the man found in the prisoner's apartment,
was then placed at the bar, and on--being questioned he
denied all knowledge of the articles found in the place. The
officers could not identity him as a thief or a smasher.
Mr. LAING discharged him, but with a caution not to be
brought there again, or it would be worse for him. He
then ordered the officers to take the implements for coining,
the letter, and other documents to Mr. Powell, the solicitor
to the Mint, and inform him of the prisoner's conviction.

THE FUND S.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK.
We have received Jamaica papers to the 21st of July,
and extract the following - .

" We very much regret fo learn that a fever is prevalent
in Spanish Town resembling the typhus. Our correspon-
dent informs us that in many parts of the island the poorer
classes are literally starving, from the scarcity of ground
provisions. Flour and rice are at a very high price, and
beyond the reach of the labouring population. Three or four
shocks of an earthquake were felt in George Town on the
20th July, at about 3 o'clock. They lasted nearly six
seconds, and were the most violent that we remember.
A Decree was passed by the Senate of New Granada, at
Bogota, on the 26th May last, abolishing the regulations
which required invoices of imported goods to be sworn to."

The Guiana Chronicle of the 13th March states that one
branch of the Legislature of the Crown Colony of Demerara
had resolved on the Gth March, that the proceedings of that
body should henceforth be open to the public, which ap-
pears to have been adopted.
The African troops which had been taken into the Ist
West India Regiment at Trinidad have revolted against
their officers. In Trinidad the small pox is nearly extinct.
Major-General Colebrook, had reached Antigua to as-
sume the duties of Governor General of the Leeward
Islands.

It is said that the good people at Tortola are again about
applying to the Government at home to make their island a
free port, and the station of the West India packets.
We have a file of Bermuda journals to the 30th ult. Sir
Stephen Chapman met the Legislature on the 16th, upon
which occasion the mutual intercourse of his Excellency and
the two bodies was amicable. The topics referred to in the
Speech and the Addresses are almost too local to be wor-
thy of minute notice.
We have received Barbadoes Papers to the 16th July.
They state that " A very general alarm was felt through-
out the island from the tempestuous state of the wea-
ther. The violence of the wind increased to a most
alarming degree, accompanied by heavy rain, with lightning
and thunder. Sunday night was an awful one, and few
persons retired to their beds. Two vessels were driven on
shore, both total wrecks, the Myrtle and Ruth. Much
injury has been sustained on estates in the country.

THE THAMES TUNNEL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR-I send you a copy of a letter I have just addressed
from the shield to G. 11. Wollaston, Esq., Clapham-common.
From the station in which I was, viz., the upper floors, I
could perceive no derangement whatever in the structure, or
in the shield.

I was accompanied by Mr. Page, the Acting Enginein.,
and Mr. Crawford, one of the Assistant Engineers. I may
add that a lady went as far as the boat which carried us
could be navigated, viz., within GO feet of the shield.
There- are about 240 feet of the Tunnel quite free of
water, and the arches are every where remarkably dry.
I am, Sir, yours, very respectfully,
M. J. BIZUNEL.

I can assure you that the cheers of the miners on my en-
tering the shield, both those who were in the boat and those
who were at the edge of the water near the entrance of the
Tunnel, were most enlivening►.
Thames Tunnel, Aug. 31, 1837, Nine o'Clock, p.m.

"MY DEAR SIR-I. write from No. 4, in the upper cells
—all is in excellent condition, less water than there was
(and N 0.3, so formidable a few days before the irruption,
quite easy), just enough to wash my hands—not one brick
missing. Mr. Page is kneeling, as my rriting-desk—a lady
has come very near the shield. With best r2gards,
" Very truly yours,
(Signed) " M. J. I3RUNEL.

QUEEN-S QUA RE.

J. Andrews, a private in the 3d Regiment of Guards,
and Anne Andrews, alias Mary Freeman, were charged
with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel, value 2/.
Mary Carter, of No. 6, Castle-lane, Westminster, de-
posed that the female prisoner resided with her, and was in
the habit of bringing home the prisoner James Andrews.
Prosecutrix obtained her living by washing at the present
time, though she had formerly been an unfortunate girl, as
was the female prisoner, whom she had allowed to share her
apartment through charity. On Tuesday se'nnight prose-
cutrix was obliged to sleep from home, and previous to her
doing so she informed both the prisoners who were then in
her apartment, of her intention. On her return home the
next evening she found both the prisoners had decamped,
taking with them the whole of her clothes, which she had
left locked up in a box. On her discovering her loss, :pro-
secutrix gave information to the police : but though the
prisoners had been taken, very little of her property had
been recovered, and she was consequently left nearly
destitute.
Mr. GREGORY said that this was a most cruel case. A
poor woman had, in the kindness of her heart, afforded re-
fuge to her former companion in crime and misery, and had
reposed confidence in Ler, which she had most treache-
rously,abused by robbing her of all the little property in
her possession. He did not see sufficient proof against the
prisoner James. Andrews, but the female prisoner he com-
mitted for trial.

SOMETHING NEW.
VERYBODY should ask for CLEAVE'S
PENNY GAZETTE, illustrated with Cuts, comic and
satirical,

By C. J. GRANT,
__nd containing a complete fund of amusement in summer or
winter, for young or old, grave or gay, which will never get stale by
keeping, but " drive away the blues," and make you laugh and
grow fat.
" Our objeet in producing our penny paper was to furnish a class
of readers for whom we had long, and, we hope, not fruitlessly,
laboured, with a cheap unstamped, comprising much of the useful
and the agreeable! and if we may judge of the result by the appro-
batory testimony we have from all quarters received, we have not
wholly failed of our object. Although politics are proscribed to us
a large field of investigation, comprising much of philosophy and
social economy, is left open to our inquiries : and our purpose is to
turn what we may here find to the best and most profitable account
in reference to the improvement and well-being of our fellow-men.
If our friends think we deserve well for our purpose, we ask their
co-operation in carrying it out. We have no reason to complain
of a paucity of readers ; but if each one we now have would procure
us another, they would so far strengthen our hands as to enable us
to add greatly to the power of the Penny Gazette, by considerable
improvements in all its departments. We say thus much from a
sense of duty, and cheerfully leave ourselves in the hands of our
friends."

MANSION-HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.)

A dirty-looking man in the garb of a mechanic, was brought
before the LORD MAYOR, charged on suspicion of stealing a
pipe and some gas-fittirgs from the premises of Messrs.
Cooper and Co., the wholesale grocers in Pudding-lane.
Thomas Cooper, jun., deposed that about a fortnight ago. a
gas-pipe and fittings were removed from their premises, which
it would cost 21. los. to replace. The prisoner could not be
distinctly sworn to as having been on the premises on that
occasion, but their potter saw a man who answered in every
particular the man a'. the bar. On that morning witness
was called into what was called the Saltpctre-room by the
clerk—he there found the prisoner who said he had been sent
by Mr. Bateman, their gas fitter, to inspect the pipes, as he had
been informed some of them were leaky. As they had not
given any orders for such an inspecti,n, and having so lately
been robbed, he gave the man into custody, in order to sec if
he could give any better account of his conduct to his Lordship
than he had done to him.

William Goldsmith, porter to the prosecutors, believed that
it was the prisoner he saw on his master's premises on the day
the pipe was stolen.
James Coates, Clerk to Cooper and Co., said about nine
o'clock that morning, he saw the prisoner come into the
gateway, and turn into the saltpetre room with a candle in his
hand. Witness thought it strange, and therefore followed
him. When he went in the prisoner had taken the steps, and
was going up to the gas burners. In answer to questions, be
said he had been sent by Mr. Bateman, his master, to look at
the pipes. Witness was not satisfied, and went and informed
Mr. Cooper of the fact.
John Bateman, gas fitter, said that the prisoner was
in his employment for about ten days, but was dis-
charged last Saturday. He had never given him orders to
go to MI . Cooper's. He had discharged him partly in con-
sequence of a slackness of trade, and partly from having missed
many little articles from the premises.
The prisoner said he was in the habit of searching for little
jobs for himself when he was out of work, and had gone to
Mr. Cooper for that purpose.
His LORDSHIP had no doubt he bad been there with the in.
tention of committing a felony.
He was committed for hard labour in Bridewell for one
month.

Yesterday, Wm. Hornsby, a silk-mercer in the employ of
Messrs. Brydges and Campbell, silk-manufacturers, Friday-

GIBSON, a county magistrate, charged with stealing nearly
30 yards of valvet, valued at about 201.
The prisoner brought some persons who were with him
yesterday, and several persons came forward who gave the
prisoner a good character ; but the Magistrates thougl.t
there was sufficient to have another exa►nination, and he was
remanded till that day week. -

Published by H. Renshaw, 356, Strand ; sold also by the Author,
at Isis residence, 16, Percy-street, Bedford-square.
" This volume presents to us a number of illustrations of his sin-
gular success under circumstances that would have induced despair
ix any professor of less mastery, or less accustomed to accomplish
cures where cures seem impossible. The statements here made are
most eonvincing, and place beyond doubt the superiority of the treat-
ment to which they refer."—Court Journal, August 1837.
" This volume is a clever and clearly-written treatise on an ex-
tensive class of diseases, accompanied by a vast number of testi-
monials, indicative of the success of the author. The simplifica-
tion of language in this work, is to be regarded as one of the good
effects of diffusing intelligence, both in those who communicate and
those who receive instruction."—Brighton Herald, Sept. 16,1537.
" It must excite a feeling of deep interest and gratification in the
minds of all suffering frbm these afflictions, to learn from Mr. Van
Butchell's testimonials, that cases of thirty and forty years standing
have yielded to his practice."--Morning Advertiser, Oct. 4, 1837.
" It is only a long and extensive practice that could enable Mr.
Van Butchell to publish a work which contains an endless number
of interesting cases, written by the patients themselves, who have
been restored to sound health by his successful treatment; eases of
the most obstinate and determined character have yielded to his
skill."—Blackwood's Magazine, December 1837.

LONDON :
FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 29, 1837.

In referring briefly yesterday to the origin of the un-
[ natural contest between Great Britain and Lower
• Canada, we concluded with a promise, which we hasten
to fulfil, that we would to-day inquire, with as much
minuteness as our spa ‘x would admit, into the number
and extent of the grievances complained of by the
PAPINEAU party in that Province. The list of
alleged grievances, may, we conceive, be summed up
in six articles, which we shall take leave to state, and
comment upon, in the order in which they appear in
an address of the H. )use of Assembly to his late
Majesty, WILLIAM I V., dated February 26, 1836,
and re-iterated in an a ldress of the same body to the
Governor-in-Chief, dr ted the 3d of October in the
same year. The first grievance is substantially to the
following effect :-
1. That the Member, s of the Legislative Council,
or branch of the Provincial Legislature, answering to
the House of Peers in the mother country, are ap-
pointed by the Crown fot life ; whereas the Canadians
contend for the right of electing the Upper Chamber
by popular suffrage, ar for a limited time.
This is the master-I ;rievance of the Papineau party
—a grievance which .?mgland cannot redress, in the
manner pointed out, IN ithout giving up the Colony al-
together. The Legislative Council forms the only
constitutional link tha secures to British settlers in
Lower Canada the pi otection guaranteed to them by
the mother country ; .and we hold it impossible to
render it popularly e' rective without granting to the
Canadians the power of choosing, when it may be
most convenient for th em, to abrogate every vestige of
the Sovereignty claimc dby England, under the triple
right of conquest, tre; ity, and possession. That the
Supreme Government has wantonly and insultingly
abused the prerogative enjoyed by it, of nominating
members to scats in tl le Legislative Council, we most
readily admit ; but thi ; evil might be corrected with-
out having recourse to an extreme measure, calculated,
and seemingly intender 1, to destroy the influence of the
Crown in directing the Colonial administration. We
are but too well a',; are that the Canadians had
cause for just exasi, e.ration, when they beheld
Chief Governors raise to the dignity of Legis-
lative Councillors der k ; in subordinate Govern,
went offices—British elito lers of Lo local influence,

WINDSOR-THURSDAY.

The Queen, attended by the Duchess of Sutherlana, rode
out in the Park this afternoon, at one o'clock, in an open
phaeton drawn by four grey ponies, and followed by two
other open carriages; the former contained the Baroness
Lehzen, Lady Mulgrave, and the Hon. Miss Campbell ; the
latter contained the Duke of Sutherland and the Hon. Mr.
Cowper. The Hon. Colonel Cavendish accompanied the
Royal party on horseback.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent and the remainder
of the Royal visitors and suite walked on the Terrace and
through the Slopes.
The Hon. Miss Dillon left the Csstle this morning for town.
The Hon. Miss Cocks also left for Leamington.
The Hon. Misses Murray and Paget arrived at the Castle
this afternoon, and succeeded the two former ladies in their
waiting as Maids of Honour.
This evening their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess
of Cambridge, Prince George of Cambridge, and the Prin-
cess Augusta of Cambridge arrived at the Castle. Lord and
Lady G. Somerset also arrived.
The following distinguished personages were included in
the Royal dinner party of this evening:—Her Royal High-
ness the Duchess of Kent, their Royal Highnesses the Duke
and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George, and Princess Au-
gusta of Cambridge; ,the Duke of Argyll, the Duke and
Duchess of Sutherland, Lord Torrington, Lady Mulgrave,
Lady Mary Stopford, the Hon. the Misses Campbell, Paget,
Murray, and Davys ; Baroness Lehzen, the Hon. Colonel
Cavendish, the Hon. Mr. Cowper, the Hon. Colonel Grey,
and Lord and Lady G. Somerset.
The Court will leave Windsor for Buckingham Palace on
the 15th of next month.
London, England, 1837-12-29

BOW-STREET.---(THIS DAY.)

John Ruth, Edward Xollins, and John Granger, were
charged by 97, F division, ith being disorderly and creating
a disturbance this morning in Drury-lane.
The complainant stated that the prisoners were amusing
themselves by urging two unfortunate dogs to fight, which
caused such an obstruction in the street as to collect upwards
of 200 persons to assemble, who kept hooting and shouting
so as to prevent the policeman to separate them, and although
he used all his efforts to put the dogs asunder, he was inter-
rupted by the prisoners.
In answer to the charge, the prisoners said they were not
guilty of setting the dogs fighting, nor did they belong to
them ; but it was quite accidental.
Mr. Tvvyrono inquired if any of the prisoners were known,
and being answered in the negative, ordered them to be dis-
ctarged with a reprimand, as such proceedings usually gave
an opportunity to thieves to exercise their calling with success.
Daniel Lynch, an Irish labourer, was convicted of violently
assaulting two policemen in the execution of their duty, and
ordered to pay a fine of 2.05., and in default be sent to hard
labour in the house of Correction for two weeks.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)

Among the persons charged at this office was Owen Swift,
once the well-known prize-fighter, who fought the memorable
battle with Noon, which unfortunately terminated fatally
for the latter. It appears that Swift, who is now filling a
most respectable situation in society (his present occupation,
we believe, is that of a plasterer), went into a cook-shop with a
friend, and while waiting for vault be had ordered, jocularly
pushed a bull's tongue that lay on the counter against his com-
panion ; a waiter, named Symons, thereupon struck Swift,
who immediately returned the blow, and repeated it again
coming out.
Symons not appearing at the appointed hour,
Mr. DI ER ordered Swift to be discharged.

Shortly afterwards Symons entered the office, his left eye
bearing evident witness of the punishment he had received.
lie was informed of shat had taken place, and that he could
have a warrant if he pleased. This, however, he declined
doing, and retired in high dudgeon.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Dec. 28.
Only a very small portion of business was effected in Cotton
