GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)
Sarah Smith, was charged with breaking five panes of
;lass at the late residence of Mr. Alderman Gibbs,
Walbrok.

It appeared that on Monday afternoon defendant went
up to No. 33, n albrook, and broke the glass, saying
that she had an account to settle with Alderman Gibbs,
who had sent her to prison for six months for nothing,
and she would pay him out. When told the Alderman
had left the house, she said she was not to be done
that way.
The prisoner in reply to the charge said, that she
would deal out a little justice to Alderman Gibbs.
Mr. Alderman LAWRANCE—As you admit breaking
the windows, you are committed for seven days.
The prisoner said that when she came out she would
repeat the act, she was not going to ba choked off by
saying that the Alderman had " cut, his stick;" on
which she was crdered to find bail for three months.

The prisoner, upon being removed, replied she dii
not mind that, for she should catch the old " buffer'
somewhere, and then his windows should go.

POST-OFFICE NOTICE.—The following notice to
the public, and instructions to all postmasters, sub-post-
masters, and letter receivers, was posted at the General
Post-office this morning, by command of the Postmaster-
General :—" Some doubts appearing to exist whether
inland postage is to be taken in
the United King-
dom upon letters addressed to be conveyed
between the United Kingdom and the United
States, by the contract packets belonging to the
United States Government, it is necessary it should be
understood that no postage whatever is to be taken in
this country upon the letters in question, as the postage
due for their conveyance will be collected in the United
States. Letters forwarded to the United States by the
British contract mail-packets, or by any private ship,
are liable to the same rates as heretofore."
THE NEW ARRANGEMENTS OF THE CONSOLI-
DATED EXCISE AND STAMPS AND TAXES DEPART,
MENTS.—We understand that the appointment of Mr.
Hart. Davis (the present Deputy Chairman of the Board
of Excise), as one of the commissioners under the united
board, will be only of a temporary duration, viz., until
July next, when the Honourable Deputy Chairman will
have completed a service of thirty-five years, and will
then be entitled to the highest retiring allowance. His ,
retirement from this department is looked upon as a loss
to the public service,.as be never can be excelled in the
impartiality of his decisions while on the bench, or the
unremitting attention to the duties of his office of
commissioner. Admiral the Honourable W. H. Percy
also retires on the superannuation allowance, added to
his pay of retired Admiral ; and Mr. Charles Ross, the
junior commissioner, has been appointed one of the com-
missioners fur carrying into effect the Act for Improve-
Iment of the Health of Towns. Several other changes
are spoken of, and it appears still to be an unsettled
question whether Somerset llouse or the present Excise
Office will be the more preferable premises for the joint
department.
