Informationz laid by a common-informer were heard
on Thursday at Bow-street, and a great number of house-
holders were fined 40i. each, for throwing saw-dust and
cinders on the foot-pavement is front of their houses. It ap-
peared, that owing to the bursting of pipes and o,,ening the
water-plugs in the streets, it was found impossible to keep the
streets and pavement clear of ice, and this remedy was adopted
to prevent accidents. The Magistrate, having no power to
take these circumstances into consideration, could not mitigate
the fine. Thus, owing to the unnecessary strictness of the
Act, the inhabitants have the choice of two evils—to break the
law, or run the risk of breaking their limbs.
LEITH'—TYPHUS FEVER.—This dreadful malady,
which has cut off so many in this neighbourhood, is far from
abating. Several cases of a fatal nature have occurred during
the last ten days, and, as far as can be learned, it is decidedly
on the increase ; the privations of the poor in this inclement
season, no doubt, acting as a stimulus to the ravE.Tcs which it
is daily making.—Scottish Pilot.

We understand that the Corporation of the City of
London have determined to rebuild the Royal Exchange, in a
manner suited to the present much increased trade of the City,
and worthy of the greatest trading city in the world.
i'dinisters have now a busy time. A Cabinet Conn-
ell was held at the Foreign Office at taco o'clock, being the
fourth this week.

Yesterday morning, at daybreak, a female, about
40 years of age, whose tattered clothes and emaciated ap-
prarance bespoke the extremity of human misery, was found
lying, in a state of insensibility against the door of a house
now'building in the new road which is being formed across
Britannia-fields, Islington. She was taken in charge by the
parochial authorities, but strong fears were entertained that it
would be impossible to recover her.
DRURY-LA N E THEATRE.-The Queen honoured
Drury-lane Theatre with her presence last night. We say.
" honoured," as is the accustomed phrase fer State occasions,
as the ill bred audience would not allow her Majesty to enjoy
the play incognito. They compelled her to acknowledge. their
vociferous gratulations, and the operatic company to sing the
well-known anthem. It was for some time before the house
vas aware of the Queen's presence. At the end of the first
act some voic-s from the pit and gallery called out " The
Queen," but the cry was checked by strong marks of disap-
probation from the boxes, and the play was suffered to proceed
is Ttiet. At the close of the second act, the clamorous public
gained the upper hand, and such a storm of applause was
raised, that the Queen was obliged to come forward and ac-
knowledge, in her most gracious manner, this inconsiderate
notice. " God sane the Queen" was then demanded, and the
King and Queen of Denmark, assisted by the tandei Ophclia,
and the gentle Guilderstere, and as many voices as the Green-
room could provide, sang the anthem, amid the chee,-s and
bravoes of the house. The tragedy was then played out in
peace and quiet ; and the Queen took care to avoid all further
annoyance by leaving her box a few seconds before the per-
formance was brought to a close. The house was thronged to
overflowing—not a scat was to be had soon after the doors
opened, from the floor to the ceiling, and some persons
who
could not obtain places were accommodated behind the scenes
The Queen was attended by the Duchess of Sutherland, Lady
' Portman, the Hon. Miss Pitt, the Lord Chamberlain, the
Marquis of Ileadfort, and Colonel Buckley.
THE SERPENTINE.-The surface of the ice has
been totally destroyed by the easterly wind bringing upon it a
great quantity of sand a gravel. In the Regent's Park
skating still continues, bu he ice is not in very good condi-
tien, notwithstanding the precautions that have been taken to
prt_SCCTC it.

The Emperor of Russia has given orders for the
immediate reconstruction of the Winter Palace. His Majesty
hopes to be able to inhabit the new Palace in the course of next
autumn.

The late Mr. Bush used to tell this story of a bro-
I ther Barrister :—As the coach was about starting after break-
fast, the modest limb of the law approached the landlady, a
pretty Quakeress, who was seated near the fire, and said he
could not think of going without first giving her a kiss.
" Friend," said she, " thee must not do it." Oh, by hea-
vens, I will l" replied the Barrister. Well, friend, as thou
bast sworn, thee may do it ; but thee must not make a practice
of it."--American Paper.
Mr. O'Connell may console himself when he thinks
of the ungracious reception he has lately received from the
Dublin Trades' Unionists, by the recollection that the same
treatment was once accorded to Henry Grattan, who barely
escaped the personal vengeance of the Dublin mob.

Mr. Allen, of Whitton, has been exhibiting a choice
specimen of wheat, of his own culture, which for size, bulk,
and quality, is said to be unequalled. The ear contains twelve
petals, each petal six grains, excepting the first, which has
four very fine and perfect grains (the common kind of wheat
usually contains none). It grows rather taller than wheat
ordinarily grown, and the straw is exceedingly stiff and broad.
The red specimen contains ninety grains in each ear; the
white has only five grains in each petal, but in all other re-
spects is equally as fine. Mr. Allen has as much in plant now
(this being only the second season) as will produce about a
coomb.—Suffolh Chronicle:
A project has been started in the City, the object of
which is the contemplated cession of the Azore Islands to this
country, in return for a new financial ban or arrangement.
An Englishman, named Cook, has been for some
time employed as chief engineer of a steam-boat running be-
tween Lyons and Chatons-sur-Saone. His being a foreigner
excited the jealousy of the native enginers of the country,
whom, from his inability to speak French, he had no means f
conciliating. Three of them suffered their animosity to go so
far as to break into his cabin on board the boat a few days ago,
when, having forced him on deck, they beat him severely, one
of them striking him with a mallet. For this assault they were
brought before the Tribunal of Correctional Police at Chalons,
when one was sentenced to be imprisoned for a fortnight and
the other two for a week.
The environs of Chaillot have lately been infested
by a band of thieves and vagabonds, by whom several persons
have been robbed and ill-treated. On Sunday night a jour-
neyman cabinet maker was returning to Paris, about eleven,
when he was assailed on the open groued, at the end of the rue
des Batailles, robbed of the few sous he had in his pocket,
and beaten till he was left for dead. A patrol of police offi-
cers found him there soon after, and subsequently arrested near
the-spot three individuals who were recognised as old offender?.
