RUMOURS OP THE DAT.

Mr. Austin has already received one hundred re-
tainers as counsel for contested elections.

The Tories still mean to try to oust Lord John
Russell and Sir M. Wood, on the old plea that a poll-
book was kept back.
Mr. Attwood, the twice-rejected during the present
election, expects to be yet returned for Kinsale, as Mr.
Watson, notwithstanding his long purse (so say the
Tories), is not qualified.

INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY)

IN EHE MATTER OF - HARVEY.

The insolvent was opposed by Mr. Cooke on the part of Eli.
zabeth Harvey.
The insolvent was a furniture broker, residing in Compton-
street, and becoming involved in difficulties, applied to Mrs.
Harvey to lend him a sum of money. Soon after this trans-
action, he was arrdsted at the suit of Mr Harding, a hair-
dresser, who had cashed a bill for him, amounting to 121. 10s.,
for which Mr. Harding paid 101. bs.
The insolvent was opposed on the alleged ground that the
transaction between him and Mr. Harding was a collusive one,
for the purpose of clearing the insolvent of his liabilities.
The insolvent was supported by Mr. Woodward, and the
case was adjourned.

GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)
PETTY TYRANNY.-A very respectable looking tradesman
named Cox, was placed at the bar before Sir Peter Laurie,
charged by Police Constable 272, with the offence of walking
up and down at 2 o'clock in the morning before a public-house
in Newgate market.
The Constable in support of this extraordinary and frivolous
charge, said that the prisoner wanted to get admittance to the
house, but being refused he said, as it was what is called a
night house, and others being there taking refreshment, he
should not go away. He was in consequence compelled to take
him to the station house.
Cox, in his defence, said that he and some friends had
been to the country, and after his return, being fatigued, he
thought he had as good right as another to get refreshment;
the more so, as there were several persons with the policeman,
who told them as soon as he (the prisoner) and his companions
were removed, he would get them in. He was pushed along
very violently by the constable, who said to him at the station-
house, that he might go, away before the charge was entered,
but that he refused, as he was conscious of having done no
wrong, and considered the policeman's conduct to be tyrannical
in the extreme.

Sir P. Lau RIE said it was much to be wished that the po-
lice is ould exhibit less anxiety to lay hold of people and drag
them to the station-house for such petty trifles as he had wit-
nesed in several cases within these few days back. The pri-
soner was perfectly justified in walking backwards and forwards
so long as he caused no annoyance or obstruction. He should
order him to be discharged.
Police-constable Thos. Hollingworth, No. 343, informed Sir
Peter Laurie that he had succeeded in gaining admission to
the House of Occupation, near Bethlehem Hospital, for the
girl Charlotte Cullem, who had some time since attempted to
drown herself at Blackfriar's-bridge, and whose case caused
much interest`from her having accused a policeman of the A
division with having endeavoured to seduce her.
The worthy Alderman expressed his satisfaction with the
conduct of Hollingworth throughout the affair.

HOUSES IN PARIS.—I highly approve the
mode at Paris of letting unfurnished houses, or apart-
ments, with mirrors and decorations, as well as all fix-
tures (with us, in England, always charged separately),
free of any extra expense. The good taste evinced in
the ornaments is in general remarkable, and far superior
to what is to be met with in England ; where, if one
engages a new house lately papered or painted, one is
'compelled to re-colour the rooms before they can be oc-
cupied, owing to the gaudy and ill-assorted patterns
originally selected.—Lady Blessinyton's Idler in France.
THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT GRAVES-
xND.—On Monday last a lengthened investigation took place
at the Town-hall, Gravesend, before Mr. Carttar, coroner for
Kent, relative to the death of a young lady named Taylor,
who, with her sister, one afternoon last week, were amusing
themselves by riding donkies, when the deceased unfortunately
overbalanced herself and fell with such violence on her head
into the road, that after having been removed to a surgeon's,
and from thence to her residence in the Circus, Gravesend, in
a short time she expired. Several witnesses were examined,
who proved that the young lady's death was the result of acci-
dent ; and the Jury returned a verdict of " Accidents] death."
The deceased was highly accomplished; and it was stated in
the inquest room that she was the sister of the popular actress
of the same name.
