POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
An old familiar face—familiar in the fashionable cir-
cles of this, but more particularly on the past age—
clean shaved, and puckered into au expression of dismal
despondency, presented itself before Mr. Hardwick, with
a modest request, conveyed in a fine fat Kerry brogue,
that the owner might "Ax a thrifle of his Hanuer's
Wurtchip's advice" in a matter seriously affecting the
interests of the whole world of haut tun. The applicant
was recognised, even through the disguise of a prodi-
gious display of clean shirt collar—a new blue, brass gilt
buttoned coat, fitting like a watchbox, and a flowered
satin vest of true Monmouth-street fashion, as Mister
O'Leary, better known in high life as Paddy, the King
of the Linkmen. Like other eminent characters of the
present eventful era, who have received substantial marks
of gratitude from a discerning public, King Paddy may
claim to go down to posterity in right of a superb silver
badge, to be worn on greed opera nights, presented to
him by general subscription of the nobility and gentry,
who foray the Elite of fashionable life. ' This badge, worn
only on state occasions, when her Majesty or one of the
royal relatives honour the opera with their presence,
was not visible on the present occasion, it having been
disposed of in that fragrant way, known to the initiated
by the phrase of " laid up in lavender."
Well, said Mr. HARDWICK, what is it you wish to ask?
Saving your banner, said Paddy, the durty police
wont have me at the Hanover-square Rooms, though its
the Royal Academy Ball, which I've attended wid me
link for forty pears widout missing once, wet or dry.
What's to become on the nobility and jintry, your 1
wurtchip, an me not there to call up their carriages ?
Mr. HARDWICK—Why do they object to you being
there?
King Paddy—They're all jealous of me shuparior
ability, yer Hanner. There aint a man among 'ern fit
to hould a link, or call up a gintleman's carriage. They
may do very well wid a costermonger's donkey-cart, or
a dog's meat-man's whalebarrow, but only set 'em to
the rale gintry. The Airl of Chumblyswape's carriage,
bawls out a peeler all over the square. Get out of that,
sis I. The Airl Chumley's carriage, sis I; do ye think
the nobility likes to be called out of their, rale names,
sis I?

Mr. HARDWICS—I ha►e known you for a good many
years, and certainly I have always thought you were of
use to the police from your knowledge of the carriages
and servants of the nobility. You have conducted your-
self respectable in your calling, as far as I have seen.
King Paddy—Respectable! Why I'm respected from
the swaper of the crossings up to the highest nobility.
I wish some frind would only spake a good word for me.
I never could spake one for meself. Just ax the Duke
of Beaufort for me karakter. The Noble Duke won't
give a party widout me. The plese wanted to stop me
at the last party, so I wrote a beautiful letter to the
Noble Duke, and tuk it meself. I tould the Noble Duke
in it, if he'd stand my friend, I come to his party wid
me hair pouthered, and me grand opera badge. Down
comes the Noble Duke himself'. Hab, Paddy, says he,
is that you? I can't do without you. Mind you come,
powder and all. And plaza yer wurtchip, I did come,
and there wasn't sich another figure as I cut, wid me
link, and me greed badge, and pouthered hair, at the
Noble Duke's party.
Mr. HARDWICK—WeII, I will send to the police to
know why you are not to attend.
King Paddy—Thank yer Harmer. It's me last sason.
I'm going to resign, bekase I'm able to be respectable
wid me bit of savings, and kape pigs of me own. I'm the
boy that improved the profession yer wurtchip. Whin
I tuk up the trade there were only a pack of ugly lads,
wid their bare tin toes, and a halfpenny wisp dipped in
tar, which they shoved under the ladies' and gentlemen's
noses. I was the first as showed a clane shirt, and a brass
lanthern. That's all over now, yer Hanner, for after this
sason you may whistle for the King of the Linkmen.
Mr. HARDWICK directed one of the constables to in-
quire of the superintendent whether the orders against
the linkmen could not be relaxed in favour of an old man
who had really been useful in his calling.
Superintendent Beresford came to the Court, and after
stating tha nature of the orders issued to the police, said
he would do all he could to assist the applicant, and to
take care that he had a last opportunity of displaying his
link and badge in the most advantageous light.

SYMPATHY FOR THE HUNGARIANS.—At the

the following expiession of sympathy for the
Hungarians was unanimously adopted : " That
this _ Association hails with delight the success 1

that has attended the armies of the Hungarians, led on

will succeed in driving the tyrant from their soil, and
that ere long Poland also may again be free."
RIallIT OP WAY THROUGH GLEN-TILT. —Lord
Ivory has pronounced a decision, accompanied by a va-
luable note, in favour of the title to sue possessed by the
pursuers in the Glen-Tilt case, with expenses against
the Duke of Atholl. This judgment, well considered as
it has manifestly been, and founded on such grounds as
those set forth in the note, is well worth the time and
effort that have been yet expended.—Scotsman.
Exaggerated reports of the cholera at Bou-
logne having appeared in some of the journals,
various official persons in that city have circulated notices
stating that the disease was never very prevalent in the
place, and now no longer exists there. The only vic-
tims of the disease in that locality appear to have been
some of the poorer class of Frenchmen, none of the
En,glish visitors having been attacked.
Lord Portman had an interview with the Chancellor
of the Exchequer yesterday, at his official residence in
Downing-street.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, June 13.
Their Lordships assembled at Five o'clock.
LANDLORD AND TENANT BILL.

Lord PORTMAN laid un the table the report of the
Select Committee on this Bill. Tho Committee recom-
mended that the present Bill should not be proceeded
with, as it did not proceed upon the principle of giving
equal protection.to landlord, tenant, and reversioner. The
Committee particularly objected to the arbitration clauses
of the Bill.
After a few words from the Earl of STRADBROKE,
the report was received.
PETITIONS.

Lord FEVERSHAM presented petitions from York,
Morthallerton, Thirsk, and other places, in the North
Riding of Yorkshire, complaining of the depressed con-
dition of agriculture.
The Bishop of NORWICH presented a petition pray-
ing for home colonization.
Earl FORTESCUE presented a petition from Water-
ford, praying for a❑ efficient Health of Towns' Bill.
REAL PROPERTY COMMISSION.
Lord BROUGHAM asked when it was probable the
Real Property Commissioners would make their report ?
Lord BEAUMONT said that Commission had made
considerable progress, and that in a short time their la-
bours would be terminated, and that they would be
enabled to submit such a plan of general registration as
would meet the evils complained of, but he feared they
would not be able to make the report before the close of
the present session of Parliament.
Lord BROUGHAM asked if they intended to make
a report of all or several reports successively, and if
one report, whether it could not be made so early as to
be printed and be in the hands of the Judges at the
commencement of the long vacation?
Lord BEAUMONT admitted that it was desirable
the report should be presented as speedily as possible,
but the time of its presentation was uncertain.
LEASEHOLD TENURES (IRELAND) BILL.
Lord CAMPBELL, in moving the third reading of this
Bill, said the tenure by leasehold renewable for ever
which existed in Ireland did not exist in England,
and was even more objectionable than copyhold
tenure in England. He should move the omission of
the second clause which exempted the estates of a noble
family in Ireland from the operation of this Bill, as the
rights of that family were fully protected without that
clause. He also objected to exempt the Irish Society
trom the operation of the Bill, but he
would consent to the introduction of a clause
maintaining their present special covenants.
Lord REDESDALE was convinced that this Bill was
not in a state in which it ought to pass into a law, ani
he, therefore, moved that it be read a third time this day
six months.

Lord BROUGHAM considered this was a very im-
portant Bill, and he desiderated an opportunity of look-
ing at it again, with a view to its alteration and amend-
ment. This House was the proper place for discussing
this Bill, and he thought it would be expedient to refer
it to a Select Committee. •
Lord CAMPBELL said the Bill had been introduced
into the other House last year; i; had been before the
Parliament for more than twelve months. It had been
deliberated upon again and again; it was most ardently
desired by the public. It their Lordships chose to throw
it out, he must submit to the mortification, but he should
oppose any further delay.
The Earl of WICKLOW believed that the Bill could
not work as it at present stood. He had supported it
heretofore, but since the alterations proposed he could
not support it, and he thought they ought to adjourn the
further consideration of it, in order to have time to con-
sider the new clauses about to be proposed.
The Marquis of DONEGAL had claimed to be
protected from the operaticn of this 8.11, inas-
much as he had, under two Acts of Parliament,
expended large sums of money, but he was content
with the Bill as at present altered, although he should
prefer being exempted from its operation.
Lord CAMPBELL thought the Noble Marquis would
be amply indemnified, inasmuch is under the Bill, he
would be entitled to full compensation, and those who
were to award that compensation would be bound to
take all the circumstances into their consideration in
awarding that compensation.
Lord LYNDHURST proposed the introduction of
words which should secure full compensation calculated
upon the marketable value of the land.—([leer.)
Lord CAMPBELL said that the amendment proposed
by his Noble and Learned Friend only carried out the
meaning of the clause, and therefore he did not object to
the introduction of those worth.
Lord STANLEY gave the Noble and Learned Lord
credit for endeavouring to meet the objections which
had been made, but he could not congratulate him on the
success of .his attempts. The amendments did not meet
the objections either of the Noble Marquis or the Irish
Society. Nothing could be more objectionable than a
series of amendments proposed on the third read-
ing of a Bill, and seeing the two Noble and
Learned Lords had expressed their dissatisfaction
with the Bill, could their Lordships venture to pass it as
it at present stood? He believed the Bill would have
an infinitely better chance of passing if it had been
permiasory instead of compulsory, and if it were possible
to recommit the Bill, he should wish to see it done, but
if that could not be done, he should vote against the
third reading with this understanding, that it the Bill
should be rejected, and the Government would intro-
duce a Bill of a permissive, not of a compulsory
character, ho would desire that such Bill should pass
with the least possible delay.
Lord BROUGHAM contended that it was perfectly
possible to recommit a Bill on the motion for the third
reading.
Lord MONTEAGLE doubted when a Bill had been
ordered to be read a third time whether a Bill could be
recommitted.
Earl GREY said that there had been several cases in
which a Bill had been recommitted under such circum-
stances.
Lord CAMPBELL objected to referring the Bill to a
Select Committee; that motion had been made and re-
jected. The Bill had been carefully drawn, and
the principle of the Bill was that it should be com-
pulsery and not permissive. It had been recommended
years ago by Sir M. O'Loghlin it had not been objected
to in Lnrd Devon's report, and unless compulsory it
would be nearly useless.
The Earl of DEVON thought that it could not be
collected from anything Sir Michael O'Loghlin had said
that such an alteration as that proposed by this Bill
ought to be compulsory.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that the Irish
Government were of opinion that the Bill should be
compulsory; and after it had passed the House of Cone-
mons, and had passed this House up to the third reading,
it was rather unfair to make an objection to its principle I
on the third reading. The Noble Marquis had been
expending money under a private Act of Parliament, but
he was completely protected by this Bill, and this mea-
sure provided ample protection and compensation for all
persons affected by this Bill.
After a few words from Lord BEAUMONT, in favour
of the recommittal of the Bill, the Noble Lord said,
although he would vote against the amendment for re-
jecting the Bill, yet if the amendment were withdrawn,
and an amendment proposed for its re-committal, he
would support that amendment.
Lord CAMPBELL would consent to the introduction
of words which would secure to every person ample com-
pensation.
Lord REDESDALE saw no reason to withdraw his
amendment.

Their Lordships then divided, when there appeared—
Contents (for the third reading of the Bill) 38
Not-contents

Majority in favour of the third reading
The Bill was then read a third time.

Oa the motion that the Bill do pass—
Lord CAMPBELL moved the addition of several
clauses, which were agreed to, after a few words from
the Earl of Wicklow.
PASSENGERS BILL.

Earl GREY, in moving the second reading of this
Bill, said it -would be remembered that in the course of
last session, to meet the exigencies of the case, an Act
was passed for the regulation of emigrant ships, will
the limited duration of two years. When the measure
was passed it was understood that the limitation was to
give time for a more careful revision of the law upon
the subject, in order to introduce a more permanent
measure, based upon that mature consideration. Since
that time the Commissioners had been in communica•

tion with the most experienced persons, and had pre-
pared a Bill, which was, in fact, a consolidation and
re-enactment of the existing laws, with a few altera-
. . . ..

tions, which he believed would be found to be im-
portant improvements. In the first place, it made the
number of persons to be carried in proportion
to the tonnage more clear than it was ex.
-

ressed in the existing law. That two passengers
were allowed to every ton; but in future the number of
passengers allowed in each would be limited. There
was also a clause requiring that improved ventilation
should be introduced on board, which he considered a
a somewhat measurete d

portant alterations which were proposed, this
brief statement of the Bill, he now begged to move the
second reading of the Bill.
After a few words from Earl WALDEGRAVE,
The motion was agreed to, and the Bill was read a
second time.
ACCIDENTS IN COAL MINES.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE, in moving fur the appoint-
ment of a Select Committee to inquire into the best
means of preventing dangerous accidents in mines, said
he would not detain their Lordships by any lengthened
observations in support of the motion. It was, indeed,
unnecessary. The position the matter stood in was
simply this. Since the year 1835 there had been no
public inquiry into the subject. In that year the other
House of Parliament appointed a Committee, which col•
lected some very valuable evidence. There had also
been several Commissioners appointed by the Govern-
ment, composed of men of the very highest standing, and
they had collected evidence of a useful character. Never-
theless, iu the position of having had no public inquiry
since the time he had mentioned, and considering the
great advance which had been made in our knowledge of

certain branches of the subject, and the very frequent
occurrence of disastrous and lamentable accidents within

the last few years, he thought we were now in the
position to make a Parliamentary inquiry on the
