liceman going to the aid of his comrades, struck him an
knocked him down. Some privates of the Guards coming IV
put an end to the disturbance.

which the police discharged their duty.
The defendants, in answer to the charge, said they were un-
able to get along, and, as their master was waiting, they were
compelled to go down St. James's-street. They denied the,'
had any intention to assault the officers.
Mr. MINSIIULL said it was a case which required the laic'
tion of the fullest penalty, as the police must be protected.

diately paid.

Mr. Colburn has just published an extremely win.tme;
resting collection of Correspondence illustrative of tho 17ty
of Queen Elizabeth. The editor, Mr. Wright, of Tr`nolb•
College, Cambridge, in a preface to the work,,states, the ,o,
ject he has had in view is to do for English history what Dis%,
Percy' did for English poetry—to give its documents t° the
public in a popular and amusing form. The letters are uP „
all topics, written by Cecil, Burghley, Leicester, Kn°l4Yof
Randolph, Sir Philip Sidney, and numerous other persi°ll- re
renown, together with the Queen herself. The whanchart,
illustrated by extremely clever and judicious notes ; in short,
we have not for a long time seen a work of a similar naturen'qi
which interest, information, and amusement are so haPri
blended—John Bull.

move, and soon observed, with astonishment m 1

some degree of terror, the arm of the corpse raised, an,d 0
a gradual trembling motion placed over the head, anu,s-d
afterwards the leg on the other side was in like manner Pc,cd,
across the other, and then returned again to its former PO-
