volley of foul abuse that he was obliged to call Mr. Bailey
to
_put him out, and in doing so the prisoner threw him-
self down, on his back, and while he (Mr. Bailey) was try-
ing to rift him up, the prisoner kicked him with great force
on the most tender part of his person. Some of the cus-

DISGRACEFUL PROCEEDINGS.

On Monday, Mr. Simpson, the well-known proprietor of
Cremorne Gardens, waited upon Mr. Arnold, at the West-
minster Police Court, to solicit his advice respecting the
following disgraceful proceeding :
Applicant having handed in a large posting bil), headed

" Cremorne, V. 1.," and which •went on to state . that
a grand fancy fair would be held on a spacious piece
of ground adjoining Cremome' Gardens, —the type
of the words, " will be held on a spacious piece of
gr9nnd adjoining," being so arranged, and of such
a -mill 'character, as to escape the first glance, stated
that he had with referenee to this and its subse-
quent gathering of an immense assemblage of the very
refuse of society; to comldain not only of a most serious
disgraceful nuisance, but of a , gross 'deception practised
upon the public, calculated to do him a serious injury,
and a great personal indignity inflicted upon himself.;
A persen, with whose name -he had upon inquiry become
.acquainted, ' had taken a piece of ' grOund immediately
adjoining Cremorne CI-lardeith; tiiia had there unlawfully' set
.up--a fair of the very lowest 'description ; and in order to
.render .the thing-attractive, and'impart, to it a stamp of
respectability, the propyietor the scheme had most dis-
gracefullyiadopted, not only the style of heading exhibited
in his announcenaents,•but; used the 'Fame of his pro-,
.perty in.a,most objectionable way. .:Aptht from this, it
was a mos A-serious nuisance,' as it might:be termed, at his
very doer, and frequenters of his establishment would have
to wade their. way through a mass olpersons from the ptir-
:liens of the= very lowestmeighlimirhoods.
_ .

Mr. Arnokaaquired When'the fair 'Commenced ?
Mr. Simpson replied that it was anitounced for that day;
,(Monday),:,but- in effect, might fairifbe said to have cora.;
menced_on.Sunday, whemthere were swings, races,
,shooting, singing, and the most- cliSgraoeful scene being
enacted. all the afternooOn.and evening, by an assemblage
•composed; as it might well. be stiPpOSpd, 4 the very dregs,
of society. Individuallyy'he • (Mr. Simpson) felt that a
great indignity and disgrace- had been tut upon him by,
the-name of hie establishment being associated with such a
disgraceful proceeding, and would- feel-obliged by any ad-
vice or interference the magistrate could suggest.
observeA' that, as regarded Mr. Simpson's
- ihdividtial -complaint of using the name of his establish-1
ment; he Could not make the. offenders amenable before al
magistrate. 'Mr. Simpson's remedy mustrbe by injunctiom
in the Court of Chancery. = ,
. Mr. girepson called upon a sergeant of the V division of
police, who was....,present on other businesi3, who confirnied
his-account "of
_the disgraceful scene going lon.

of Parliament for the suppreseion of iinla ul fairs, found.)

Mr. Simpson remaxiced that‘heiiad,bee in communical
tion,with the Cominissioners of Police a the parish At-)
thorities. . The former, it -seemed, had no power to put-
stop to the fair, • • •

_ ,
Mr. Simonds, an, inspectni, of. ;the B division, said that'
'there had been two others in `the, district sometime.
but thafthe 'police could do nothing with them. yf
Mr. 'Arnold observed that there wad no doubt that the!.

Mr. 'Sivrii_xcliwked that the, parish authorities were'
of, that'opimon, and he should see them again upon the)
subject. Such an indignity as ho personally complained off
could only have emanated from a racist 'dishonourable per-4

THE LOSS OP THE DUKE OF SUTHERLAND
7 _ :Sr& HER.

ABI.RDEEN, MONDAY.

It, no appears,that thevprecise nurribk,of lives lost
in epriseqA_
ueloce of the wrech' of .this steamer is sixteen,,
the total. number .hoard having been 54 or 55. Thei
following is a list of the
DeowivEn=-Ectwardlrowling, master ; Miss Bremner,,
belonging to Allerheiiii ; Miss •14awrence ditto ; George.
Brtieh,- the carpenter ,•',a-female servant of C. S. Jervoise,i
name unknown; Irenry.Sivier, coachman to Mr. Jeri
voice ;. Margaret panl, stewardess ; oeo. Nelson, a sea-;
man on board ; a. seaman from London, a passenger,
nanie unknoWn,..but believed to be Johnson or Johnston;,
Burness,(notlßurnett),, a, passenger ; Peter Ligert-'
wood, sesond mate,; JohniFyfe, chief engineer, Total'
loss from steamer, 12,, Robertson, Jas. Wlntosh,.
Chi-is-tie; Reid,' seamen lost from coble.
_

Up to :this- time 12 of the bodies have been found,
being' the whole except those of the .second mate, en-:
give t, .mad Christie and 'Reid, the" Seamen. Captain'
Howling, -Bruce the Carpenter, :Ligcrtwood, Fyfe the
engineer, Nehion, and Sivier leave widows and families
—those of the two last being resident in London. The
case of Miss Bremner is a peculiarly affecting one. She
was just about to be married, and was engulphed under the
very eyes of the young gentleman to whom she was en-
gaged. The engineer perished in the attempt to save
the stewardess.

Captain J. N. Strange, of H.M.S. Archer, now in this
barbbur, rendered efficient assistance. in directing the
operations onshore.
Eighteen weft saved by the rope between the pier and
the vessel, all of them, including five of Mr. Jervoise's
servants, owing their preservation to the exertions of the
steward.

The value of the cargo appears now to be from 8,0001.
to 10,0001., and that of the vessel about 18,0001. She
was built in 1847, and cost about, 28,0001. The vessel
was insured for 12,0001„ but the,-cargo was not insured,
the parties to ,whom it was comligned being the sufferers.
It consisted of spring haberdashery goods, periodicals,

71-All thd,t now remains of the vessel is'the engines and
paddle-boxes; with a small part of the ship in the vici-
nity ; the engined probably will he recoyered. A. consi-
derable part of the carge has been cast ashore. --
