MEETINGS OF CREDITORS TO-MORROW.

Two mendicants were placed at the bar. Each had
a wooden leg, and singular enough, it was the left which was
wanting to each of th poor devils. The first, Gervais De-
quant, the type, the very prototype of your wallet-beggars,
whom we no longer see but in the accounts of Callot—Oh,
illustrious Charlet, where art thou to sketch for me this
Gervais Dequant.—His immense coat, if submitted to the
analytical researches of a connoisseur, would enable him to
furnish a history of our progressive industry in cloths. Each
patch of which it was composed was of different date, tex-
ture, and colour. The careful hand during which so many
lustruins had repaired this curious garment, had, by its an.
nual additions, succeeded in completing a quilted cuirass,
bullet-proof. The rest of Gervais Dequant's dress corre-
sponded with that we have described. The only leg of poor
Gervais was covered with a thick leather gaiter, which might
well confer on its owner the surname of the famous " brass-
stocking of the pioneers." On the hoary head of the men-
dicant was a large cap, which had been velvet before the
revolution, but which, by successive additions during a long
series of years, partook of the thickce§s and variety which
distinguished the rest of his costume. Gervais admitted that
he had begged. " Look at me," said he to the magistrates,
" and pronounce to what sort of use would you put mer
The tribunal condemned him to '24 hours' imprisonment,
and afterwards to be transferred to the mendicity depot.
To Gervais succeeded Ladre. The latter was a little man,
a sort of small edition of the gun-beggar of Gil Blas. It
is true he did not actually point his pistol at the breast of'
any of the charitable public who passed, but he very signi-
ficantly threatened those who refused him an alms. One
of the city police arrested him in the Place Vendome, on
the charge of two persons, to whom, on being refused, he
said—" The day of vengeance,will come. Live commotion
—terror for me. The rich will become poor in ,their turn,
they will stretch forth their hands, and none will help
them." Ladre charged the witnest. with an imposture..
" This fellow," said he, " came here tp get his two francs
from me, but my skin is not worth so much." The Pre-
sident—" But you have resisted the party sent to arrest
you ?" Ladre—" How could I suppose that I was speak-
to one of the police ? I saw advance towards me a man
in plain clothes wearing a red riband at his button.hole.
The cross on the breast of a policeman, and that to in the
front of the column ! Sacre nom de"--President.—" Sit
down." The Policeman—" My cross was got at Wagram
—do you hear ?" Ladre was condemned to three months'
imprisonment.—Gazette des Tribunaux.
On Wednesday night, the 30th ult., Mrs. Norris,
of Shoreham, after putting her two children to bed, placed
her husband's woollen jacket before the fire to dry, and went
in search of him. While she was absent he returned, and
found the jacket singed, and the house filled with smoke.
He instantly ran up stairs, when he discovered one of the
children, about four years old, quite dead, and the other, a
younger one, nearly so ; but, proper means being imme-
diately used, there are hopes of its recovery.—Brighton
Gazette.
