POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARY LEB ONE.

Mrs. Pope, a lady about—but it is not gallant
to talk about ladies' ages—as thin as an Abernethy
biscuit, and by no means a person whose fancy would
expect to be haunted with sighs and scaling-ladders,
appeared, conjointly with her liege lord and master,
to show cause why she emptied the contents of a
water-bucket from the landing of her dormitory, "in
the two-pair back," upon Mrs. Hews, the lady-oc-
cupant of the first floor and parlour, and a fashion-
able-looking young gentleman, who came to the
house to share in the festivities of Miss Hews'
birth-night.

Mrs. Plews stated that, on the birth-night of
Miss Plews, she invited a select party of friends to
the house ; and Mr. Taylor, one of her guests,
having occasion to go up stairs, she accompanied
him, to point out the way. He went first, and when
she perceived him ascending the wrong flight—to
wit, the one which led to Mrs. Pope's dormitory--
she called out, " This way, Mr. Taylor, if you
please." Mr. Taylor, anxious to avoid such a mis-
take again, laid down his hat, to act as a sign-post
to guide him the next time; and at this moment the
" murmur of many waters" was heard from above,
and down came a torrent, sousing Mrs. Plews, Mr.
Taylor, and Mr. Taylor's hat. Mrs. Plews was
unable to say which of the defendants was the prin-
cipal, and which the accessary; therefore, to avoid
any mistake, she clapped both into the summons.
Mr. Pope—Please your Wor—
Whatever Mr. Pope would have pleased to say is
uncertain, for a chuck in the short ribs, from the
elbow of his gentle half, effectually silenced him.
Mr. RAwussoN—MN. Plews has some doubt
which of the two upset the water-bucket; but from
this specimen of Mrs. Pope's womanhood, I think
it will turn out that the was the offender.

Mrs. Pope assured the Magistrate that he was
quite right, as Mr. Pope was quietly laid in his bed
a full hour and a half before the accident took place.
She knew nothing of Miss Plews' birth-night, nor
of the merry-making, nor yet of the " small party
of friends" met on the occasion; " but being
troubled with a very troublesome cough," continued
Mrs. Pope, " I was going into t'other room to fetch
some lozenges, yen I sees a strange young man
a-corning up ray stairs, and not knowing vat he may
vant, and being—(what state Mrs. Pope was in at
the time her blushes prevented tier from disclosing)
—I jumped back, very much alarmed, thus"—and
here Mrs. Pope gave a retrograde spring of about
two feet, alighting upon the toes of an unlucky
youth, " who stood behind her taking notes."
" Bless me !" exclaimed Mr. RAWLINSON, " you'll
have another assault to answer for presently. I
dare say you have broken the gentleman's toes."
Mrs. Pope wheeled round, and dropping her
lowest, assured the notary that she did not see him.
" How the d—l could you see me," responded
the notary, the pain of his toes gulping down all
his gallantry, " when you look one way and jump
another ?"

After the smarting episode of the toes, Mrs. Pope
added, that, in her jumping backwards, her bed
came in contract with the water-bucket and upset it,
without the remotest wish, on her part, of doing
" no harm to nobody."
Mr. RAWLINSON hoped that, at least, the water
was clean.

Mrs. Plews assured him it was "as pure as
crystal ;" and tendered a bottle•full, which she had
preserved.

Mr. RAWLINSON deemed the production of the
bottle quite unnecessary, and was willing to take
Mrs. Plews' word for the crystal quality of it. As
,it was only an " accident," he asked if there were
not a possibility of an amicable adjustment.
Mr. Taylor, however, was very indignant at con-
sidering the sousing he had received as an accident,
inasmuch as Mrs. Pope laughed outright when she
saw him and his hostess dripping at the foot of the
stars; and, as Mrs. Pope seemed inclined to do any
thing rather than make the amende honourable.
Mr. RAWLINSON ordered her to pay ss. and costs.
The fine acted as a damper upon the high spirit
of the defendant, and she besought its remission, as-
suring the Magistrate that she was only a poor
laundress.
" The very best reason in the world," said Mr.
RAWLINSON, " why you should be more careful of
your clean water.

Last week a very fine hawk, hi close pursuit
of a small bird, flew through the shop-window of Jr.s

OPERATION UPON 1100 LOO, THE CHI-
NESE, FOR A TUMOUR, IN GUY'S HOSPITAL.

(BY AN EYE- WITNESS.

In consequence of Saturday last being the day appointed
for removing the extraordinary abdominal tumour from
the Chinese, Hoo Loo, and the particulars connected with
his arrival in this country for that purpose, having been
publicly noticed by the daily press, Guy's Hospital, at an
early hour in the morning, was absolutely besieged by the
most celebrated medical and scientific men in the neigh-
bourhood of the metropolis.
Amongst the crowd of medical, scientific, and non.
medical individuals who were present to witness the opera-
tion, we may enumerate the following :—Sir A. Cooper,
Mr. Copeland Hutchinson, Mr. Titus Barry, Mr. Parke
(brother of Mungo Parke), Dr. Stroud, Dr. Bright, Mr.
Scott, Dr. Pidcock, Mr. Morgan, Mr. B. Cooper, Dr.
Hodgkin, Mr. Calloway, Mr. Green, Mr. Travers, &c.
At one o'clock Sir A.Cooper entered the operating theatre,
and stated, that in consequence of the smallness of its
size, and the number who would thus be precluded wit-
nessing the operation, it would take place in the large
anatomical theatre, whither a rash was immediately made
by those assembled ; and although this theatre will hold
nearly 1,000 persons, it was crammed in every part within
two minutes of the doors being opened. About half-
past one Hoo Loo was ushered into the theatre by the
sister and nurses of the ward " Luke," with that ap-
pearance of good humour in his countenance (" laugh-
ing, buoyant, and spirited") which he has been
remarkable for manifesting ever since his introduction at
Guy's. Indeed, he appeared to interest every one present
in his " future fate," and no one betrayed a greater feeling
of anxiety (without a particle of nervousness or trepidation)
to bring the operation to a successful issue, than Mr.
Key. This was an anxious moment to all parties. Every
one appeared confident of a fortunate terminatio❑ in con-
sequence of the well known skill and experience of Mr.
Key, and the excellent spirits of the Chinese, which never
forsook him until nature became exhausted, as the sequel
will prove. It is, perhaps, necessary to observe that Mr.
Key was assisted throoghout the operation by Sir A.
Cooper, Mr. Calloway, Mr.'B. Cooper, Dr. Addison, Mr.
Morgan, and other eminent individuals connected with
the hospital.

The patient being laid on the table, reclining on pillows,
the operation was commenced by making two eliptical
incisions from the outer margin of the peduncle of the
tumour to the spinous process of the pubes on each side.
The knife was then carried forward along the upper
part of the tumour, so as to raise a flap of integument,
which was turned hack. A similunar incision was then
made on each side, and two flaps of integument detached.
These incisions exposed some very large subcutaneous
veins, which afforded considerable hcemorrage, and were
obliged to be secured by ligatures before the operation
could proceed. The neck of the tumour Was next detached
from above, and the spermatic cords laid bare. The mass
of the tumour was finally dissected by a few strokes of the
knife from the perinzeum, and the lower flaps of the in-
tegument being turned back, it became entirely detached
from the patient's body.
During the whole of the operation the patient appeared
to be unusually affected by the loss of blood, which, in
, the whole of the operation did not exceed sixteen ounces,
and entirely venous. The only arteries, besides those of
the cords, requiring to be secured, were two small ones
at the upper part of the swelling, from which not more
than half an ounce of blood escaped. The patient conti-
nuing to be faint after the operation was completed, small
quantities of brandy were administered, as it had been
during its progress, and time was allowed him before
dressing the wound to recover. In the mean time, many
gentlemen who were present (among whom was Sir A.
Cooper) left the theatre, in the expectation that lie would
speedily rally from his faintness. Fresh air was allowed
to blow over him, and warm applications were applied to
his feet and chest; but his fainting condition beginning,
at length, to excite apprehensions in the mind of the sur-
geon, brandy was freely injected into the stomach, without
whose name we are unac-
quainted any re-action of the heart; and it appearing
evident, that without some further measures, the heart's
action would altogether cease, transfusion of blood was had
and eight ounces. (which were kindly fur-

A most atrocious affair was perpetrated at
Grimsby, by some unknown ruffians, on the night of
'Thursday last. They disinterred the corpse of a female 20
years of age, which had been buried about five weeks, and
after breaking in the coffin lid, left it upon a tombstone
near the turnpike-road, where it was discovered in the
morning. It does not appear that they had any view in
the transaction beyond that very brutal one of exposing the
corpse to public observation.
A well-known brow-beating Barrister was last
week cross-examining a witness on circuit. The man was
rather pert and flippant in his answers, which provoked
the Counsellor to say, " If you do not cease
your impudent
remarks, I shall claim the protection of the Court !"
Humph !" rejoined the other, " from the language I
beard from. roil, I .thought I could not be far from some
court or Alley !" This was too much ; a laugh resounded
through the Court, in which even the Judge participated,
although•he comes from the refined neighbourhood of the
Park.

'4ALTON ELECTION.

(From the Leet(i <l,7?rviry.)
Wednesday last being appointed for thr.,?lection
of a representative in Parliament for this borOußth,
in the room of Sir James Scarlett, resigned, the
morning was ushered in by the ringing of bells and
other deMonstrations of joy, and upon the steeple of
Sr. Leonard's three f!igt; v'ete hoisted. The Lord
Advocate, the only candidate; had come dawn to
Mahon, where he was received with g; eat enthu-
siasm. At eleven o'clock a procession from the
Talbot Inn, preceded by a yellow flag, bearing the
inscription " Success to the King, his Ministers,
and Reform," two yellow banners, inscribed " The
Lord Advocate and Reform," a red banner, " The
glorious Revolution of 1688," another banner,
" King William the Fourth," a crown; and " God
save the King,"- two banners, the Union flag, and
band of music perambulated the town. The Lord
Advocate rode on a brown horse, decorated with
orange rosettes. At Meaty minutes to twelve the
procession arrived at the iiust.ings, which were
erected in the Marketplace, and graced with the
presence. of a number of ladies.
Mr. HENRY SMITHSON, the borough bailiff, hav-
ing made the proclamation, proceeded to read the
precept. He then took the usual oath, and having
read. the Act for preventing bribery at elections,
said, if any burgess have a candidate to propose to
represent this borough in Parliament, let him tome
forth and he shall be heard.

JOHN TEMPLE, Esq. came forward and proposed
Francis Jeffrey, Esq., Lord Advocate of Scotland,
as a fir and proper person to represent the borough
of Nlalton in Parliament.—(Cheers.)
JOHN BELL, Esq. begged leave to second tl a no-
mination of the Lord Advocate, whose political
sentiments and public conduct were in close alliance
with the best interests of the nation, and with the
sentiments of the electors of Malton.—(Uheers.)
No other candidate being proposed,
The BonouGil BAILIFF declared Francis Jeffrey,
Esq. duly elected.—(Cheers.)
The LORD ADVOCATE then came forward, and
was received with cheers. He addressed the very
numerous assemblage to the following effect :
The first part of the duty he had to perform was
one that was certainly very pleasant, and might ap-
pear to be very easy. It was to return them his
most hearty and grateful thanks for the great honour
they had conferred, and the high trust they had been
pleased to repose in him.—(Cheers.)—But when
he considered the very peculiar relation in which he
stood to them, and when he called to mind that
their suffrages had fallen upon one who was not
merely a stranger in the place, but in some respects
might be considered a foreigner in the country, he
could not but feel that the extent and weight of the
obligation they had imposed upon him required
something more than the plain and homely terms in
which he had already returned them his thanks.—
(Cheers.)—He was well aware, and it lvould be
ungrateful as well as absurd in him to dissemble, ,
that he had come there upon the recommendation
of a most noble and excellent person, whose recom-
mendation was entitled to respect wherever his
name was known, and to gratitude and respect from
the inhabitants of this borough.—(Cheers.)—But
not only did he feel a proud consciousness that no
person who had not some claims to public attention
would receive the recommendation of that dis-
tinguished person, but he begged leave to re-
mind them of a fact of which they were well
aware, that that noble person had been pleased
to favour and grace him with his patronage, en-
, tirely upon public, and not at all upon private
grounds—(Cheers)--and he could not, at a moment
like that, omit to name publicly a fact so eminently
flattering to himself, and he must say so honourable
and creditable to them also.—(Cheers.) For, ac-
cording to the information he had received—and with
surprise and gratitude he received it—they had by
their voluntary suffrages anticipated the recommen-
dation they afterwards received.—(Cheers.) That
their sympathy of choice should be so mutual—that
such an obscure individual as he was should have
been the person upon whom their choice had fastened
—was a thing more flattering and gratifying to him
than almost any event in his past life, and would be
a source of gratitude and pleasure to him to the dates
moment of his existence.—(Cheers.) He ought now
to do that which, but for their great confidence and
kind indulgence, might havo been required of him
before. He meant, to endeavour to explain, in a very
few words, what those principles and opinions of
his were upon the strength of which he ventured to
propose himself as a candidate for their favour. The
word Reform was a word of great virtue and effect.
But, unluckily, it was a word of very large and com-
prehensive signification ; and under which a great
variety of shades of opinion might conscientiously, he
believed, be concealed. He was most unwilling, he
was sure, to refer to any body, except ill terms of
approbation ; but it was a matter of notoriety, that
candidate lately elected in that place professed
great affection for Reform, and he had no doubt most
conscientiously, but between whose notions of Re-
form and theirs there turned out to be an unhappy dif-
ference ; and they, exercising a privilege which they
had a right to exercise, chose to intimate to that
person their dissatisfaction that he viewed Reform in
a different sense to them, and that they were disap-
pointed in him. (" He deceived us.") Now, it was not
always very easy, although desirous, to satisfy con-
stituents who exercised so manfully the privilege
that belonged to them of calling their representa-
tives to account. He would say that it was a most
just and wholesotne exercise, but at the same time
he must say, if he did not stand upon grounds a
little more secure, and had advantages not attri-
butable to merits of his own, he might hare had
some misgivings and palpitation of heart, whether
he should be able to persevere and continue to de-
serve their favour. He had a notion that his opi-
nions on Reform were a little nearer theirs; and
when he shook hands with them yesterday, he felt
a sympathy that they all understood plain words in
the same sense.—(Cheers.) He must say that his
great advantage over their late representative was,
that he talked to them of Reform while things were
uncertain, and while no sort of text or canon had
been given out, by which men could understand
each other ; but it had so happened that since the
time of that election his Majesty's Ministers had
brought before the public and before the Legislature
a certain Bill, embodying a plan of practical Re-
form, which he could not but think had met with
their approbation, as, at the same time that they
passed a vote of thanks to one of their reprqsenta-
fives, merely on account of his supporting that par-
ticular measure of Reform, they expressed their dis-
satisfaction with the other, who, in consequence of
a little unfortunate difference in the construction of
Reform, opposed it with all his might and main.
They had now the good luck to have the kind of
test he had alluded to in their hands, and therefore
were not quite so much at sea as they were. They
bad got landmarks and points chalked out, by which
they would avoid the shoals upon which some of
their predecessors bad been wrecked.—(Cheers.)
Before he had the honour of offering himself for
their suffrages, he had an unfortunate slippery-sort
of seat for a place, which, though it did not deserve
the dignified appellation of a rotten borough,
enabled him to give his vote ; and he was
happy to state, what was probably known
to most of them, that he supported that men-
sure with his voice : he voted for it—he spoke for
tOo (Cheetla—and upon that measure he took
