It having been incorrectly stated in some of the
papers that Colonel Sibthorp's notice of motion for next ses-
sion is for a reduction of the salary or pay of the subordinate
officers and general establishment of the Metropolitan Police,
we have been requested to state that it is with a desire to ob-
tain an increase of salary, or pay for the present time, as well
as retired allowance for long servitude or causes of incapacity
through
Fridayaroraccidental circumstances.o
evening an inquest was held at the Fea-
thers, Dean-street, Westminster, on the body of Mr. West-
combe Ryder, aged 19, who was drowned under the following

and the deceased drowned. Witness was saved

by clinging to the barge. The deceased was found yesterday
morning near Westminster-bridge. They did not understand
the management of a boat; but they were quite sober. Mr.
Williams and Mr. Hillier corroborated this witness. Verdict
—.c. Accidental death." The jury deprecated the system of
persons going on the water without watermen.
A publican of Fetter-lane appeared at Guildhall on
Friday to show cause why be refused to pay a cabman the
sum of one shilling and sixpence. It appears that defendant
had incurred a charge of Is. 6d. for cab-fare, but had thought
proper to tender the amount partly in money and partly in
"something to drink." This sort of settlement the cabman
objected to, and the defendant considering it a legal tender,
appeared before the magistrate by deputy, and had to pay Gs.
costs for his pains.

square, and presented her with a sovereign.
THE FRENCH ARMY.—The Leipsic Gazette of
the 1 Ith instant publishes a letter from a Russian Colonel, sent
to France to inquire into the moral disposition of the French
army. The writer states that, front all the information he
could collect, he inferred that the Buonaparte family had an
immense number of partisans in its ranks; that the puerile
precautions adopted by the Government would fail in check-
ing the growing spirit of disaffection, and that the army, al-
though discontented, would remain quiet and loyal until the
occurrence of tome important event, unless it happened that
an excess of zeal on the part of some officers in enforcing the
orders of Government should hasten the catastrophe.
SUNDAY TRAVELLING.--Within the last few
days several sheets of foolscap, containing the following bond,
have been handed about for signature among the inhabitants
of Musselburgh :—" We, the undersigned inhabitants of
Musselburgh and its vicinity, viesting the running of coaches
by the railway on the Sabbath as contrary to the law of God,
and calculated to do great mischief to society, do hereby bind
ourselves altogether to cease travelling by the railway so long
as railway coaches continue' to ply thereon on the Lord's day."
One of the papers lay for some days on the counter of a shop
which is very much frequented by genteel customers, but did
not receive a single signature. It was then banded in to the
next, but with as little success. Another paper, however, was
more fortunate, having actually obtained ten names out of a
population of 6,0(10 (... 7,000; and, as a proof of the sincerity
of the subscribers, we may state that one of them went and
came by the railway on Sunday last.—Scotsmen.
LYMINGTON, AUG. 15.—Preparations are making

The next day our Member will entertain at dinner most of th

A. agofew days a young couple, accompanied by
their relatives,
Mayor of Soissons, and unbounded was their mutual disap.
pointment when it was ascertained, on the reading of the in-
pre%enteil themselves to be married before the

document
mistake the wedding was rendered legally impracticable till the
young lady could obtain a judgment formally establishing her
as a male child ! In consequence of this awkward
real and hitherto unquestioned sex.
