POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day,

MARLBORO UGH-S TREE T.

PLAYING AT " ROUNDERS" IN HYDE PARK.—Henry
Ricketts, Charles Southgate, and Robert Jeffreys, three lads,
were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with playing at a game
called "rounders," in Hyde-park, to the common danger of
the passengers.

A park constable, No. 51, said that yesterday (Sunday)
afternoon a lady and gentleman called his attention to the
defendants and some other boys who were playing at
rounders opposite tho Life Guards barracks in Hyde-park.
He went to the lads and cautioned them, and they left off ;
but on going to the spot after about half an hour's absence,
he found the lads had returned to the game, and as there
had been numerous complaints for several Sundays past he
took the defendants into custody.

In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the constable said where the
lads wore playing was about 20 yards from Rotten-row,
and 30 yards from the carriage road.
Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the defendants 24. 6d. each.

Telegraph from America to Asia.

Colonel Bulkley, engineer-in-chief of the Collins'
overland telegraph and western union extension, has
arrived in San Francisco in company with various
members of the organisation for erecting the tele-
graph which is to connect the United States and
Russia. About 1,500 men will be employed on land
in the proposed work, besides a co-operative force at
sea or on the coast, landing the material at inter-
mediate ports as may be practicable. The line of
the Western Union Company, is to be extended
from the Western States to New Westminster,
British Columbia, by the middle of March, and
from that point it will be taken up by Colonel
Bulkley's party. They will proceed from New
Westminster to Port Babine, tlirough a country
already explored. From Babine Lake, in the centre
of British Columbia, to the Yukan River, in the
British possessions, the country has never been ex-
plored, and through this wild region it is the inten-
.. _ _

tion of the company to make their way, a distance
of about 3,000 miles. The fleet on the ocean will
co-operate with them as far as practicable by means
of the numerous rivers on the coast, many of which,
however, must be explored. It is the expectation
of the company to find the same character of coun-
try between the Coast Range and the Rocky Moun-
tains in this new region as is build between the
Coast Range and the Sierra Nevada in the more
southern latitudes, and to come out on the other
side of the Yukan River, at its head, where they
will find the first settlement aftr their departure
from Babine Lake. The river is a very large one,
having several outlets in Norton Sound, south of
Behring's Straits, where it is known as and called
Kinchpak. The river is navigable hr about 300 miles,
so far as known, and has for somerears been known
by the Russians in their trading operations. From
the Yukan River the company wil proceed to Cape
Prince of Wales, which is the point of land nearest
the opposite coast of Asia. Front this point a sub-
marine cable will be laid across Behring's Straits,
which are here only 36 miles wide Arrived on the
Asiatic side of the Straits, they will go around
Anadyr Bay through Techuktchi (an unsettled
country, though not altogether unexplored), until
they strike Penjinsk Gulf, or the Okhotsk Sea,
whence they will follow the coast around the Amoor
River. This country is settled by the Russian Cos-
sacks, and roads are built the entire distance. The
company anticipate that by the time they arrive at
the Amoor River the telegraph from St. Petersburg
will have been completed to that point--Alta Cali-
fornian.

PORTRAIT OF L.E.L.—I can see her now—her
dark silken hair braided back over a small, but what
phrenologists would call a well-developed head ; her fore-
head full and open, but the hair grew low upon it. The
eyebrow perfect in arch and form ; the eyes, round,
soft, or flashing, as they might be, grey, well formed, and
beautifully set, the lashes long and black, the under
lashes turning down with a delicate curve, and forming a
soft relief upon the tint of her cheek, which, when she
enjoyed good health, was bright and blushing. Her
complexion was delicately fair ; her skin soft and tran-
sparent ; her nose small (retrousse), the nostril well defined,
slightly curved, but capable of a scornful expression,
which she did not appear to have the power of repressing,
even though she gave her thoughts no words, when any
mean or despicable action was alluded to. It would bo
difficult to describe her mouth; it was neither flat nor
pouting, neither large nor small; the under jaw projected
a little beyond the upper. Her smile was deliciously
animated ; her teeth white, small, and even ; and her
voice and laugh soft, low, and musical. Her ears were of
peculiar beauty, and all who study the beauty of the human
head, know that the ear is either very pleasing to look on,
or much the contrary; hors were small, and of a delicate hue.
Her hands and feet were even smaller than her sylph-like
figure would have led one to expect. She would have been
of perfect symmetry but that her shoulders were rather
high. Her movements, when not excited by animated con-
versation, were graceful and ladylike, but when excited
they became sudden and almost absurd.-11frs. S. C. Hall,
in the Art-Journal.

AN ARAB ON A JOURNEY.,-.The next morning
shortly after we had resumed our journey, we saw
at some distance before us a nondescript-looking object
floating on the water, which turned out, on nearing it, to
be a white-bearded old gentleman taking a voyage down
the river to Tekrit, to which place he said he was going
on business. His mode of travelling was exceedingly
primitive, and doubtless much less fatiguing than
either walking or riding. He was seated astride upon a
heap of rushes secured upon half a dozen inflated sheep-
skins, and thus, tranquilly smoking a pipe, was proceeding,
without any exertion on his own part, to his destination.
His naked legs hung down on each side into the water,
serving as paddles, three or four vigorous kicks sufficing
to give his conveyance an inclination either to the right
or the left. We offered him a place on our kelek, which
he accepted, and taking his frail raft in tow, we continued
our course.--A Joicrney from London to Persepolis, by john
Ussher,
