MARYLEBONE.-(Tfil S DAY.)

A man named Beck was fined 51. by the sitting Magistrate,
Mr. RAWLTNSON, under the following circumstances.
Police constable 4, D division, stated that he was informed
yesterday evening some persons were letting off fire-works in
the neighbourhood of Kentish Town. Thither he went, and
was told by a boy they were purchased at a shop in Castle-
street ; having gone to No. 36 in that street, he found the
prisoner Beck behind the counter, selling some rockets
and '-quibs to boys in the shop. He searched the premises,
and found en immense quantity of Gre-works, which the pri-
soner avowed he kept for sale, and the keeping of which, in
the house, must have been very dangerous to all its inmates.
The constable also stated the streets were infested with boys
letting off squibs and rockets, and no less than four boys were
in custody this morning thus charged.

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

(Continued from The Sun of Monday.)
BRECON.

Last year five Tories here appear to have had the election
all their own way, but five tables have been turned, and five
Liberals last Thursday obtained a singularly splendid victory,
having placed all four of their men not merely at the head of
the poll, but each of them by a very large majority. The
Silurian states that the 4th Liberal in the list, had a majority
of 45 above the first Tory ; the first Liberal one, of 89 above the
first Tory, and the fourth Liberal was above the fourth Tory,
by 138, while the highest number polled by a Liberal last year
was 205, and the highest Conservative, 232.

We have reason to believe that the Govern-
ment has received despatches from Lord Ponsonby, the
British Ambassador, at Constantinople, dated the
13th ult., which mention the important fact, that the
Russians had collected a very large naval force in the
Black Sea, and that they were daily expected at Con-
stantinople. Our Ambassador had sent pressing in-
structions to the British Admiral at Vourla, to hold
the fleet in readiness for any emergency that might
arise. It was confidently expected at Constantinople,
that if the Russian fleet should enter the Bosphorus,
and anchor before the capital, the British Admiral
would be ordered to pass the Dardanelles, and closely
watch them.—Morning Post.
