THE FE.TIALE BLONDIN.

It will be satisfactory to learn that Miss Young, "the
Female Bloudin," is not so seriously hurt as was at first
feared. On inquiring at St. Bartholomew's Hospital this
morning, it was ascertained that the unfortunate woman's
thigh was severely fractured, and some injury had been
done to the left shoulder, but not of such a nature as to
preclude the use of the arm. The fears relative to some
injury having been sustained in the neck have most fortu-
nately proved groundless, At present the sufferer is pro.-
zressilag most favourably,

The autumnal inspection of the several divisions
of Royal Marine Light Infantry commenced at Chat-
ham yesterday by Major-Gen. A. B. Stransham,
1 the inspector-general of that branch of the service.
The entire division, which is just now unusually
I strong, numbering some 1,250 mcn of all ranks,
with about 50 staff and other officers, was under
arms at an early hour, and at a few minutes after 9
o'clock Major-Gen. Stransham, accompanied by his
aide-de-camp, Capt. J. C. Travers, arrived at the
Royal Marine Barracks, where he was received by
Col. T. Lemon, C. 8., commandant of the division.
Col, W. H. March, second commandant, and the se-
veral officers of the Staff attached to headquarters,
were in waiting to receive him. On arriving in the
parade-ground, the inspector-general proceeded at
once to make a minute inspection of each man's kit
and accoutrements, a prcceeding which occupied a
considerable time. The battalion was then dismissed,
and the remainder of the morning devoted to the
inspection of the barrack-rooms, offices, library, non-
commissioned officers' mess-rooms, and other por-
tions of the barracks, General Stransham also visit-
ing the site on which the new barrack buildings
for the accommodation of 700 additional officers and
men are now under construction. At 2 o'clock the
battalion was again drawn up in the barrach-
square, and each man supplied with 15 rounds of
blank cartridge, with 20 rounds for the flank com-
panies, after which the division was marched to the
Great Lines, where, under the command of Colonel
Lemon, the officers and men were put through an
extended course of light infantry and battalion
movements, all of which were directed by General
Stransham. The division acquitted itself in a man-
ner which elicited repeated commendatory remarks
from the Inspector-General. The battalion returned
to headquarters late in the afternoon, and the in-
spection of the division will be resumed to-day.
In consequence of the decrease of the number of
troops of the line at Chatham garrison, caused by
the numerous reinforcements despatched to India,
orders were yesterday received for the Royal
Marines to furnish the guard and other detachments

POLICE ESPIONAGE.—The following is from the
(
Cork Examiner:—Sub -eonstable Tracy, of Goleen,
charged a woman named Harrington, of Toormore, with
selling whisky without being duly licensed. Sub-constable
Donnelly stated that he went twice to serve the summons
to the door. The court ruled that that service could not
hold, and the case was allowed to drop. In reply to Mr.
Netter, the complainant said he was not on duty when he
went into the woman's house, and was in plain clothes.
Mr. Davys—Was it yourself got the whisky ? iTracy—lt
was sir. I got private information. Defendant's daughter—
He said, your honour, that he was the priest's brother, and
that he was very dry; only for that he would not get it at
all. (Laughter.) Mr. Davys—l protest altogether against a
policeman discharging his duty in that manner. It show, a
want of good faith, and it is an act of low chicanry to thus
get up a prosecution. lam quite opposed to their doing
so. There should be a good feeling between the people
and the police, and then there would be mutual respect. It
is the object of the magistrates to establish and encourage
such feeling. Now, this was not the way to do it. A man
goes in plain clothes, gets the whisky, drinks it, and
then turns round andinstitutes a prosecution. police;

acts of low cunning.
