EAST INDIA HOUSE-(THIS P

A Quarterly General Court of Proprietors of Ent India
Stock, was held this day at the India House.
Sir J. R. CARNAC in the Chair.
The Minutes of the last Court were read and confirmed.

BYE TAWS.
After a long discussion, the alteration in the Bye Laws pro-:
posed relative to the custody of the Company's Seal, proposed
at the last general meeting, was agreed to.

PILGRIM TAX.
Mr. Iik:,YNDER expressed his regret that the instructions con-
tallied in the dispatch of the Court of Directors dated tbe
20th Feb., 1833, and forwarded to India, relative to the ido-
latrous worship carred on there, and the relinquishment of till
taxes derived from so polluted a source, had not been come
liea
with—at all events no offiejal information to that effect bad as
yet been made to that Court. Under those circumstances
felt it his duty to give notice of a motion on the subject;
he hoped the Directors would call a Special Court to take the
matter into consideration.
The CHAIRMAN declined calling a Special Court.
Mr. POYNDER urged the necessity of doing something im-
mediately, as the fate of millions depended upon their decision.
After a long discussion the motion was ordered to stand for
the next Quarterly General Court.
In answer to a question from Mr. MARRIOTT,
The CHAIRMAN said Mr. Shepherd had been invited to
return to his situation in the Proprietors'-room, but had de-
clined doing so.—The Court then adjourned.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

(THIS DAY.)

UNION-HALL. id-
Henry Watson, who stated himself to be a solicitor,
res
ing at 15, Old Broad-street, was this morning brought 1?e:.
fore Mr. WEDGWOOD, charged by a cab driver with
drunk, and having refused to pay him his fare. Mr.
The cabman stated that last night he was applied to by Mr.
Watson to drive him to the Waterloo-road. He asked III"-
what his fare would be, and on being told by witness three
shillings, he offered less, which witness agreed to take. ;
arriving, however, in the Waterloo-road, Mr. Watson refuse_
to pay, and witness was obliged to give him in custody to.*
policeman, whojwas obliged to assist him out of the cab, In
consequence of his being so drunk.
Mr. Watson—l am a solicitor, and hating given 111.7 t
dress, 15, Old Broad-street, I have yet N learn so°.
right the Inspector had to detain me for not paying the fared:
it was only a debt, and I contend the Inspector acted eXceethe
ingly improper in detaining me ; I am quite willing to PO •p g
man his fare now, if he chooses to have it ; but as to hel,
drunk, I deny it, and have no hesitation in saying In.
charge was trumped up for the purpose of enabling the
spector to detain me.
The Inspector said that Mr. Watson was very drunk itglee,cl;
so much so that he had more trouble with him than he °-
had with any person before.
Mr. WEDGWOOD—You must pay ss. for being drunk, this
man's fare, and something for his lost time ? nm
Mr. Watson—l believe, under a statute of James 1., I
allowed a week to pay the fine for being drunk.
Mr. WEDGWOOD—Yes.
Mr. Watson—Although that Act is obsolete, it is still 111
forMcer.
. WEDGWOOD-0, yes, we are well aware y001°,6.!
alteek to pay that in, but you must pay the driver for his ,
and loss of time 7s. 6d.
Mr. Watson-4 will pay him no such amount ;
I think is quite sufficient. ; the
Mr. Wanowoon—lf you don't choose to pay 11'131'1,00
amount must be levied on your goods. I suppose Yeet
some? Mr. Watson-0 yes, plenty in Old Broad
you will find my name in the " Law List" where it has be
for the last nine years. la
Mr. WEDGWOOD—WeII, do you wish that a warrant shot
issue against your goods? Mr. Watson—Of course I do.
Mr. WEDGWOOD—WeII, you must remain here till it is eie#
cuted.
Mr. Watson—Oh, well, sooner than that I will pal I!:
7s. 6d. Then, what time am II to have to pay the fine '—
being drunk in ?
Mr. WEDGWOOD—A week.
Mr. Watson—May I ask the cabman a question?
Mr. 'WEDGWOOD—Oh, if you like.
Mr. Watson (to the cabman)—Did I leave:my handkereji
in your cab ?—( Great laughter.) The cabman assured s
Watson that he did not.
The money was then paid, and he left the office.

James Sedgwick was this morning brought before 11;
Alderman VENABLES, charged on suspicion with having slog
ss. worth of halfpence, the property of John Potts, a butt

he had five shillings worth of halfpence ; the Prirwit,

SIB,—In The Sun of Saturday last, I have read the let-

seat-holder in one of the Pres-
bytetiae Ch\h'Clies in London, and I feel myself placed in
kliak `6lliiation confidently to state the description which
" Scotus" has given of the Ministers of the Established
Church of Scotland, in London, is not correct.
A body of men more zealous in religious duties, more
active in the superintendence of the education of the rising
generation, more indefatigable in their labours in visiting
the sick, or more arduous in all their personal conversations
with the various members of their congregations, to im-
press upon the mind the necessity of setting a good exam-
ple before their families, and living a sober and holy life, is,
perhaps, not to be found among the great body of Dis-
senters. If men, educated as they have been, and filling
their situations in the way I have stated, be considered in-
competent for the pulpit, where will you find one that the
pulpit ought not to be shut against ?
The reason why the Scotch Churches in London are not
better attended than they are, is not the fault of the Minis-
ter, but of the people. The Scotch in London are not
that strict religious Church-going people they are in their
own country.

As to the vacancy alluded to, I do not know any thing
about it ; but lam certain in the selection of another Mi-
nister for London Wall, the congregation cannot do more
credit to themselves then when they appointed the late
Minister, the Rev. J. K. Tweedie.

STATE OF IRELAND.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

" A great operation, directed to an important object, though
it should fail in success, marks the genius and elevates the
character of a Minister."—JuNtus.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 24.

SIR—In former communications I adverted to the ordi-
nary and habitual treatment of Ireland by permission of
England for nearly six centuries past—and to the change
of system, or that course of policy which the present Go-
vernment are supposed to be desirous of pursuing, and ca-
pable of effecting, It may now be well to enumerate some
of the (smithies and difficulties which promote or obstruct
their power of accomplishing such an object. If the ac-
tual state of one part of the United Kingdom affords a fair
proportion of facts upon which to form a correct judg-
ment, the facilities appear to be great and numerous.
And that it does supply sufficient data, whereon to found
such inferences, the transactions of the last two sessions of
Parliament fully testify. The struggle between the Minis-
terial and Opposition parties in both Houses was almost
exclusively upon Irish questions—particularly those of the
Church and Corporations—and the defeat of the Ministry,
instead of weakening their influence, has enlisted on their
side the sympathy of all " unbiassed minds," as well as of the
openly professed Reformers throughout the three kingdoms.
And this arises naturally out of the present posture of pub-
lic affairs, and the general expectation of the country ; for
everybody feels and knows that the most important duties
devolving on a Minister of Great Britain, whoever he may
be, whether Whig or Tory, since the reform of the House
of Commons, and of the Corporations of England, is the ap-
plication of the principles of these measures to the invete-
rate state of Ireland. It was pretty generally understood
when Lord Melbourne's Cabinet was reconstructed after
the failure of the Wellington-Peel machine, that its cha-
racter and stability depended altogether on the success
attending its legislative and other policy towards Ire-
land. And accordingly, Lord Mulgrave's appointment as
Viceroy was regarded by all parties as the signal for re-
modelling all the old machinery by which Irish affairs had
been managed for time immemorial. This Nobleman's
public and private character was at once a ground of hope
and of fear to the Irish nation. Almost the entire Catho-
lic population, together with the Liberal Protestants hopedfor
a new, while the anti-liberal and ascendancy faction dreaded
the removal of the old state of things : both expected and
still expect a total change in the conduct of the Irish Exe-
cutive. And it is somewhat singular that from the very
commencement of his Government, the Orange party have
been much louder in proclaiming their apprehension of such
a change than the Liberals arc in expressing their wish
that it should take place. To the cool and dispassionate
observer of passing events, this circumstance must be in
itself strongly indicative of the state of society here. For
as " Those ne'er can pardon who have done the wrong,"
the injured are never so sensitively alive to the prospect of
redress, as are the wrong-doers to that of punishment.
Hence the faction themselves are conspicuous in hastening
the period of retribution—if equal laws and an equal distri-
bution of the benefits of the British Constitution are to be
so characterised by them. And yet the severest censor of
of Earl Mulgrave's Government cannot discover a single
act of partiality in his Administration. But the contrary
being quite manifest to the whole community, is notoriously
productive of the happiest results—tranquillity among a
people proverbial for their habitual turbulence and disorder.
The immediate consequence of this visible change, is a
junction of numerical and moral power never before wit-
nessed ; so that every class, colour, and shade of Irishmen,
except the Orangemen in name or nature, are ready to
combine with Lord Melbourne in working out Reform.
In proof of which we need only look to the weekly increase
of " Justice Rent " to the " General Association." Here
is substantial evidence of that public re-action, sustaind by
which Government must gain additional strength every day
and thus experience additional facility in carrying forward
a just and enlightened policy.
But it was also expected, on the formation of the Mi-
nistry, that measures would be adopted for cementing, and
thus putting au end to all rational grounds for seeking a Re-
peal of the Legislative Union. Every anticipation on this li
head has been realized. The hope held forth and favour
shown to Ireland is even here productive of the happiest
results, and not only has the Repeal cry subsided, but con-
tentment and peace unprecedented prevail throughout the
land, notwithstanding the Tory " writs of Rebellion." So
far there is laid for Government another ground-work for
accomplishing their good intentions. Not only the " mil-
lions" of Irish people, who, heretofore distrustful of the
views of England and Englishmen towards their country,
were clamouring for a domestic legislature, but a great
part of the gentry and nobility are now on the side of the
British Ministry, and ready to give them an enthusiastic
and efficient support, while carrying on measures of equal
justice to all parts of his Majesty's dominions. You may
be assured that ifa generarelection were to take place to-mor-
row, the Tory party in Ireland would be impotent. Their
representatives in the House of Commons would be re-
duced to a miserably small band—to a mere handful—by
the spirit of that union of national sentiment and opinion
which is springing up amongst us. The Government and
popular interests being now for the first time united, must
in the event of a contest, and every county and borough
now represented by a Tory would be contested, would
overwhelm all opposition. The University itself cannot be
guaranteed for the return of two Tory representatives.
" It is good to have a giant's strength, but cruel to use it
like a giant." Many moderate and discerning persons de-
precate a dissolution of Parliament just now, because, say
they, a general election would completely destroy all that
remains of a good understanding between Tory landlords
and their tenantry, and thus expose the latter to a persecu-
tion intolerable. The unanimity that prevails among the
people would create an enthusiasm among the electors, by
which they would be rendered deaf to the voice of the
landlord, or to any other except that of public duty. Such
are the feelings 01 nationality engendered by the new ex-
periment of carrying on the Government of this country,
which is now being tried, I
tenant better account for
this state of public feeling end sentiment, or assign its
causes, than transcribing the language of Mr.
Boyce of B72:nnow at the dinner lately given to the
LlTatenant in Wexford. " I am," said he, " the
"::::uct of those Ministers who, as far as lies in the exe-
cutive power of the State, are endeavouring to put
an end to a state of things in Ireland, which can find no
parallel in the records of the whole world beside—a state
of things which, I say, never could have existed in any
other country, under any circumstances whatever, and
never, my Lord Chairman, would have existed in our own,
if anything like common justice had been done to a people
whom his Excellency has so faithfully characterised as a
justice-loving people. Let me add, in passing, that it is a
state of things which can continue to exist no longer, even
in our own country, if all classes of the King's subjects will
but persist, under the auspices of the present enlightened
Administration, in their constitutional struggle to do jus-
tice to themselves." And after alluding to Lord Mulgrave
personally, he proceeded thus—" I called him a wise and
able statesman, because I have seen him on the one hand,
since the very outset of his Government, a stern and steady
represser of insubordination ; while, on the other, lie has
readily lent himself to the investigation and redress of every
wrong and every grievance submitted to his cognizance.
Again, because he makes official fitness the qualification for
official preferment, and under his just rule every man in
the community, no matter what his creed, class, or party,
is permitted to aim at saving the public, in offices of public
trust and emolument—permitted did I say—every man is
invited, encouraged, provided only he possesses the requisite
fitness, to take his seat in the temple of' the Constitution,
without asking or caring who is to sit beside him. And
thus is the influence of his Excellency's policy, like that of
the sun on the chilled earth, every day imparting to our
country fresh susceptibilities of further and higher improve-

ment. But why should I occupy your time in alluding to
the tendencies of his ticelleneys Adrninkstratton.; wheti I can
so triumphantly Hivt.. yen.: td its flt shits '? Look to thy
evidences of the improved condition Of the country borne by

lightness of the calendars." This is literally true ;
the present Attorney and Solicitor-Generals were pro-
moted to their respective offices. for no other reason than
because they }nail t deli attaintd flit tap of their profession
by their talents and merits alone; dnaided by patronage or
political partisanship:, And t4e Whe lidg guided Go-
verment in all its other atipointnients to piae'c:. of public
trust or public utility: Nor is Mr. 80-cc less veracious in
describing the tranquil state of the 6diiinify: He is what
Co
would called in a retired counifk
devoted to the improvement of his estate and to literature,
independent in fOrtilne and political principles; and seeking
no reward for his stipport of She ap-
probation d his conscience aria his country'. lid that
country he is a benefactor within the sphere of his in-
fluence, as is attested by the liAppy state of his tenantry,
and his unequalled popularity in the county of Waford.
His adhesion, therefore, to the present Government being
personally disinterested, is calculated to impart confidence
and strength, by its example, to all the other honest sentry
and independent landlords, who are capable of understand-
ing their own or the public welfare. But more, he is en-
dowed with a highly-gifted, and not less cultivated mind,
which, as on the occasion just alluded to, he frequently
exercises on behalf of a liberal policy towards his country ;
and though few can equal him in this, many might be led
by his advice and example to do so in that—abandoning
those narrow, selfish, and mistaken views, which have
blinded so many of the Protestant nobility and gentry to
their own real interests. The eyes of many of them are
already opened, it, is true ; and no doubt time, and the con-
tinuance in office of a Whig Ministry, will inculcate on the
young families of the remainder the propriety of being con-
verted by the current of public opinion.
Again, it is a fact pretty well known, though not ge-
nerally admitted, that far the greatest share of virtue and
talents of the highest order has been always favourable to
Whig principles. This should be foremost among the fa-
cilities enabling the present Government to effect complete
reform throughout Ireland. Another, not less efficient, is
the countenance and support of our good King, William the
Fourth, whose heart and judgment, notwithstanding all that
Tory scribes insinuate to the contrary, must be enlisted in
the cause of equal right to all his subjects. His Majesty's
personal feelings and judgment, however, may be best col-
lected from his own language in an extempore answer to an
address from the people of Egham, during the races lately
in that neighbourhood. He is reported to have said, among
many other excellent sentiments suitable to a Constitutional
Monarch, that he acted in obedience " to the dictates of his
heart, in furthering the wishes and promoting the happiness
of every class of his people, whether of the gentlemen of
large fortune, or of that class (looking towards the inha-
bitants of Egham), which he should always consider as
forming the most important link in a chain that binds the
heart of a Sovereign to the interests and enjoyments of his
people." I had intended instancing other facilities of
promoting the views of the present Government towards
this country, and contrasting them with the difficu/ties, or
obstacles, with which they have to contend ; but as this
letter is, perhaps, already longer than the patience of your
readers, I shall not further trespass on your columns at pre-
sent, but reserve what more I have to say on the subject
for a future occasion.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, SEPTEMBER 26.

LIES OF THE FACTION.—We have almost wholly dis-
continued the exposure of the figments which the hirelings
of the Orange faction are incessantly employed in manufac-
turing to appease the unnatural appetites of their employers,
because we think the public must long since have seen
through the transparent villany of the crew. The Orange
Press having now pretty well exhausted their stock of
" State of the country" fabrications ; and the demand, al-
though still existing to a certain amount, being less than
formerly, the supply is naturally enough contracted. We
suspect the Tory manufacturers of fabricated outrages have
a little overtraded ; they have overdone of their work ; they
have proved too much, and scarcely obtain the smallest
belief in any quarter. The effect of giving the rascals
rope enough is beginning to be seen.
The Carlow Sentinel dresses out a long and horrible ac-
count of " a desperate attack on the Sheriff, police, and
military at Rathoilly by a mob." This " desperate attack"
seems to have been nothing more than the prevention by
the people of an attempt made by the " Rebellion Ruffians"
to post Tithe notices. After describing an Irish skrim-
mage in which the people appear to have had the best of
the battle, " the state of the country" manufacturer finishes
his article thus:----" Nine policemen are severely wounded,
three of whom were scalded by boiling water. Here is an
awful picture of the county. We would offer some ob•
servations on this outrage on the civil authorities, but owing
to the lateness of the hour the intelligence reached us."
" FURTHER INTELLIGENCE.—WC have received informa-
tion on going to press, that the boiling water which was
poured on the police, was actually brought out of the
Chapel ! Such is the dreadful state of one poor man, that
the hair has dropped off his head." The hair dropped off
his head ! What a calamity ! and how exceedingly probable.
ORANGEISM AT ENNISKILLEN.—In reference to the in-
vestigation which has just taken place at Enniskillen, the
Pilot, among many other pertinent observations, has the
following remarks :—" It would, indeed, seem that in this
district the low Orangeists have done their best to prove
that outrage has followed upon Lord Mulgrave's purposes
of pacification—that out of pure and essential good mo-
mentary evil has been educed. Since the Viceroy's visit to
Enniskillen it would seem that a lawless mob, armed with
bludgeons, has been suffered to perambulate the town, from
bridge to bridge, committing acts of the most serious vio-
lence, using at the same time language the most insulting
and the most eminently. calculated to induce retaliation and
bloodshed.—' Damn the Pope,' to hell with the Papists,'
No surrender,' No Mulgrave,' and such like, were the
inspiring cries—the incentives to mischief, indtdged in
by the low emissaries of the faction ; and` this, too, was
the case in a town having a large police establishment and
four resident magistrates—and, as was stated by Mr. Deer-
ing, K.C., the offences, strange as it might appear, were
perpetrated chiefly in the vicinity of the residences of these
local magistrates A correspondent of a contemporary thus
describes one :---‘ About eight o'clock on the evening of the
fair-day a mob of ruffians, consisting of about sixty, started
suddenly from their hellish den into the Main-street, most
of whom were armed with bludgeons, which they waved
over their heads, and proceeded through the town, crying
for the face of a Papist, to hell with the Pope, no sur-
render, &c. This mob appeared so excited and deter-
mined to commit depredation, that the shopkeepers com-
menced shutting up their shops. Such a scene I never
witnessed, although I have seen many Orange outrages
here. I was standing at the time with a few of the
mercantile men, and called on the police, who were in the
street, to do their duty ; but they, beinr, of the right sort,
suffered this mob of assassins to go through the streets. I
then went in search of the chief of police, Captain Wright;
complained to him of the conduct of his men, and demanded
of him to do his duty. Notwithstanding nothing was done
till Surgeon Ovendon, the provost, had to put himself at the
head of the police, and succeeded in preserving the peace ;
but, what appeared very extraordinary, not one of the vil-
lains was apprehended: The facts here stated appear to
have been fully borne out on the investigation."
THE ENNISCORTHY MAGISTRATES.— Dempsey, the
Orange constable, has been restored to his office, much to
the dissatisfaction of the loyal and peaceable inhabitants of
Enniscorthy. His Excellency would have acted with more
justice and firmness had he ordered the dismissal of the
whole hunch of Enniscorthy magistrates, than by restoring
a constable, whose political prejudice rendered him incapa-
ble of discharging his duty. The magistrates of Wexford
are proverbially insolent. The Gorey justices charged his
Excellency with the crime of ordering an investigation
under false pretences. They asserted that the inquiry was
levelled at them, though ostensively at the police ; they
have thus offered such an insult to the Viceroy, as would
be summarily decided between private gentlemen. And
now those contumelious and insolent magistrates have ob-
tained a victory in the restoration of Dempsey. After this
we must cease to wonder at the arrogance and contempt
displayed by the magistrates of Youghal, Wicklow, and
several other places. If the Enniscorthy justices had been
at once relieved from the labours of the magisterial bench,
we would not have the magistrates of Youghal presuming
to dictate, nor six of the Wicklow magistrates daring to
insult the King's representative by a protest against a vote
of confidence, adopted at a public meeting, in hi ; admini-
stration.—Frcemnan.
THE REGISTRIES.—PubIic meetings are being held ii
most parts of the country. The Irish papers contain the
report of a great many Registry Meetings, the proceedings
of which give the best hopes for success. In order to ob-
tain justice for Ireland, the people have only to wish it in
that degree which produces perseverance, fearlessness, and
fixedness of purpose.
FRIENDS OF IRELAND IN AMERlCA.—Stephen Edward
Rice, Esq., has arrived in Dublin from the United States.
We understand that he is the bearer of an address to Earl
Mulgrave, from the " Friends of Ireland in America," and
of a communication from that body to Daniel O'Connell,
for whose residence he leaves town in a few days.—Re-
gister.
MR. VILLIERS STUART'S DINNER.—There is one fact
deserving of an especial notice ; it is, that an Irish Catho-
lic dared to raise his voice in advocacy of " the illustrioui

conquerors of common sense," the Lords. Had Mr. Eneas
M'Donnell been the champion of the heredite, we might
110Wover, after
be able to arisign rtidny causes for it ; but as he was not,
we must date this hallucination of the learned speaker
to his " septemplicity of skull." vv a

MAYORALTY OFCotiii.-.~first Monday after the
29th of September is that great day of civic doings in this
beautiful city, tiptin which the Municipal Officers of the
year then ending transfer th.c..r insignia of office to those
who are to succeed them, and ii;rs. ;;!ways an interesting/
is expected to be, on the approaching oria,;:2n, a most
affecting, ceremony—so much so indeed, that ttmfera:
sons who had intended to proceed to Prague to witnes., 'll4
Coronation of the Emperor of Austria as King of Bohe-
mia, have changed their minds, preferring rather to be pre-
sent at the inauguration of the Right Worshipful John
Saunders, in-coming, by the Right Worshipful Peter ries-
nard, out-going, Mayor of Cork. The mail of yesterday,
too, having brought an account of the Bohemian ceremo-
nial being over, it may be expected that those *i'ho went
over to behold it, will return at once to see the more im-
posing piece of pageantry at home—the last, perhaps, of
the kind they will ever have an opportunity of attending.
One of the peculiar circumstances which will cast tt very
affecting interest upon the installation of Mr. Mayor Saun-
ders by Mr. Mayor Besnard, has grown otit of that diffe-
rence about the Weighmastership, of which the public
have been hearing a little lately in the Newspapers. The I
new Mayor being installed, the usual vote of thanks will,
of coarse, be proposed to the old, for his dignified conduct
while in office, and for his zealous support of the Consti-
tution in Church and State. But, according to the reports
in circulation, this vote will be vehemently opposed, and
thereupon will arise one of the most important debates of
which there is any record extant in our city annals. It
will he maintained, we understand, that the late Chief Ma-
gistrate had not proved himself a zealous supporter of the
Constitution in Church and State, witness his having pre-
sided at a meeting of the citizens of Cork to prepare an
address to the Lord Lieutenant on his recent visit to this
city ; and, still worse, having put his name to that docu-
ment when drawn up. The contention, it is said at the
lower Club, will be a most violent one. The hot-and-cold-
blowing men, they say there, shall not be encouraged or
tolerated, and what the result may be, it would be perilous
to prophesy. The public peace should at all events be
provided for by salutary precautions.--Southern Reporter.
ILLUSTRIOUS DRUNKARDS.—From amongst the number
of specimens of the genuine sons of Bacchus which the new
Tippling Act have brought before the public, we select the
following report from the Mail :—Two persons were
bsought before the Magistrates on Saturday, charged with
having being found drunk in the streets. When asked
their names, one of them, with an air of great dignity, said
he was the Duke de Berri, and wondered any one could
have the insolence to take into custody a scion of the house
of Bourbon. Magistrate—We must fine you notwith-
standing. The defendant said that matters had gone very
much astray since the Radicals had got into power ;
and things would never be right until the aristocracy were
more respected. He then was marched off to Newgate for
24 hours in default of payment of the fine ; and just when
at the door of the board-room he waved his hand in a very
condescending manner towards the bench, at the same time
displaying a very democratic hole in his coat. The other
defendant, who seemed to be suddenly excited by the
display of authority made by the Duke, when asked his
name, said he was Prince Hohenloe ; and unless the ma-
gistrates dismissed the case against him, he would work a
miracle, and put them into the watch-house instead of him-
self. This formidable threat had no effect upon the ma-
gistrates, and the Prince was committed to prison. A gen-
tleman who gave a fictitious name was fined five shillings
for being drunk, notwithstanding his eloquent attempts to
prove it was a piece of Algerine despotism to prevent any
man doing what he liked with himself. He then requested
that the fine might be given to the mendicity, and Mr.
Tudor said he would have it sent there, provided it appeared
in the papers with an announcement of the name of the
person from whom it had been levied. The defendant
no sooner heard the nature of the proviso than his charita-
ble solicitude vanished, and he bolted out of the office with
a celerity that was truly ridiculous.
