WORSHIP-STREET.

Joseph Coates, an omnibus conductor, wearing the
badge No. 1,408, appeared to answer the charge of
exacting more than his proper fare, and using insult-
ing language to a gentleman named Rolls, residing
at Hackney.
The complainant stated that on the evening of the
19th inst. he got into the defendant's omnibus near
the Elephant and Castle at Newington, with his wife
and child, to proceed to the klackney-road, having
previously observed it indicated in large characters
on the side panel that 3d. was the amount of fare
for the distance. On reaching his destination he
handed the defendant is. and asked for his change,
when the defendant demanded an additional 6d., as
the party consisted of three, and 6d., he said, was the
fare for each person. Witness was about to draw
his attem ion to the specified charge of 3d. on the
side of the vehicle, but, perceiving that the defendant
had artfully flung his handkerchief over the figure,
so as to screen it from observation, he pulled the
handkerchief down, so as to expose the figure, and
placed it upon the wheel of the omnibus, when the
defendant in an insulting tone told.hien that he had
committed a felony, and threatened to give him into
custody. Notwithstanding he was told by several
persons that his handkerchief had not been taken by
the witness, he persisted in the same offensive accu-
sation until his violent language and demeanour at
length caused a considerable crowd to assemble, and,
feeling apprehensive for the health of his wife, who
was in an advanced stage of pregnancy and greatly
alarmed, witness ultimately gave him the over-
charge ; and, after some further molestation, and the
frequent repetition of similar insulting expressions,
he succeeded in taking his number, and determined
upon adopting the present proceedings against him.
In answer to the charge, the defendant stated that
he distinctly apprised his passengers upon the night in
question that the fare would be raised to sixpence
from the Surrey Zoolojcal-gardens, and called a
witness, who said he heard that intimation given, but
was not aware whether it was repeated to the coin-
plainant and his family when they entered the
omnibus.

The MAGISTRATE said that, whatever doubt there
might be, from the evidence produced by the de-
fendant, with regard to the alleged exaction, it was
perfectly manifest that the defendant's subsequent
language and conduct were wholly indefensible, and
he should, therefore, order him to pay a penalty for
that offence of 15s. and the costs, or in default to
stand committed for fourteen days to the House of
Correction.

SPENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE.
The thousands of individuals who for upwards of twenty
years have used this celebrated liquid, pronounce it to be the only
article extant which effectually changes, in a few minutes, red or
grey hair, whiskers, moustaches, &c., to a dark brown or black.
without trouble (by simply combing it through the hair), and pro-
duces by ono application a pleasing and permanent change ; and it
can be incontestibly proved, that while many dyes tend to destroy
the hair by their pernicious properties and dangerous process of ap-
plication, that this article promotes the growth of hair, nourishing
the roots till the latest period of life. Price 38. 6d., 66., and 10s
per bottle.

LONi)ON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1847.

Apathy seems to be the speedy and inevitable con-
sequence of enthusiasm, and the greater the enthu-
siasm the more inevitable and the more speedy is the

apathy by which it is succeeded. This is among the
many incomprehensible anomalies of our national
character. To the physiologist it arises from cli-
mate, or from the mixture of races ; to the phrenolo-
gist it is the result of certain craniological develop-
ments ; to the abstract philosopher it comes from the
peculiarities of the ethical doctrines instilled into the
hearts of the population. Whatever may be the im-
mediate cause of this fickleness of temperament, there
it is, perpetually manifested to us as well by the most
frivolous as by the most important occurrences.
It is as visible to the foreigner on his arrival
in England as the chalky whiteness of our
cliffs ; it is as much a characteristic among us as
vivacity is among Frenchmen, or a contemplative
quiescence among Germans. We are as proud of our
capacity for evincing enthusiasm as a peacock is of
unfolding his tail, and generally to about as much

purpose.

Great fears are entertained for the safety of the
Philomel, 10, Commander Word, which left. Digland
seine months since for the Coast of Africa station.
No tidings whatever have been heard of this vessel
since she left. She has not touched at any of the
intermediate ports, nor have any le!ters been received
from any one on board. The Mariner, 12, Com-
mander Matheson, which sailed two months after the
Philomel, he arrived on the station long since, but

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.
John Taylor, a boy about 14 years old, was charged
with ill-treating a cat.
Mr. Charles Hawkins, of Great Rnightrider-street,
an accountant, stated, that on passing down St. An-
drew's-hill that morning, he saw three boys chasing
a cat with sticks. The prisoner was one cf them, and
the end of his stick was armed with a goad, for the
purpose, no doubt, of inflicting pain on all the animals
that came within his reach. The cat sprung up a
hatch door in the hope of escaping, but the prisoner
prevented her by a smart blow with the stick, which
broke her back. The boys immediately separated,
and the prisoner was walking along slashing his stick
as if striking at an imaginary cat, when witness
seized him. The cat belonged to Smith's livery-
stables, and Mr. Smith stated that he had another cat
lying in the stable with a broken leg. The boys in
that neighbourhood made a practice of maiming or
killing all the cats that came within their reach.
Mr. Alderman Genus asked the prisoner what he
had to say to this charge of ill-treating a cat ?
The prisoner denied that he had done so, but did
not explain why he had armed his stick with a goad.
lie stated that he was an errand boy to an optician.
Mr. Hawkins stated that he was quite sure the pri-
soner was the boy who struck the cat on the back.
Mr. Alderman Griaas said he would endeavour to
check this practice by fining the prisoner 21., or im-
prisoning him for a fortnight.
The boy was unable to pay the fine, and was com•
mitted.

Dissimilar as the Parliamentary sessions of forty-
Fix and forty-seven are in all other particulars, upon
the protraction of impotent debates they preserve a
striking and mournful resemblance. We have al-
ready and repeatedly given the Noble Lord the re-
presentative of Lynn every credit for the most bene-
volent and magnanimous intentions with regard to
Ireland, but we are, nevertheless, persuaded that this
benevolence would have but comparatively little
attraction to the Noble Lord and his colleagues, were
it not intimately blended with the embarrassment of
Government and the procrastination of the labours of
the Legislature. Did Lord GEORGE BENTINCK feel
morally convinced that the introduction of his Irish
railway scheme would prove as advantageous to the
interests of the Administration as it is certain to be
rejected, we question whether he would have exhi-
bited such an ostentatious sympathy with a starving
Peasantry and a dejected population. We will concede
to Mr. DisRA,EL, the accuracy e accuracy of his terse panegyric
upon the railway measure now under the considera-

him that it were scarcely'mo

The patriotism and genius of Sir ROBERT 1' ;E7,
happily relieved the closing discussion upon Lord
GEORGE BENTINCK'S railway proposition from the
weariness and frivolity which would have been other-
wise inevitable. Never were the illusions of' a
political charlatan more thoroughly exposed Man
were those of the diseased imagination of the repre-
sentative of Lynn, in the masterly speech deliwei ed
by that Right Hon. Baronet. Without descen ding
to the enunciation of a single epithet that might be
construed as invidious, the ex-Premier overwhe ivied
the miserable scheme then under the consideration of
Parliament with a deliberation more crushing than
the most vehement invective, with an enumeration of
facts more forcible than the most impassioned: ,dis-
play of rhetoric, with a simplicity superic kr to
vituperation, and a logical explicitness that

obtain former rates; but there was little desire manifested to
operate in any kind for either the scale or pan. The pri-
vate purchases were small, and did not exceed 250 hhds
and tierces. For all other sorts of Sugar reduced rates were
submitted to.

manifest more firmness. Of Green large parcels of the low

holders being free sellers, and submitting to rather lower

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR, We are much surprised that the editor of the 3ledical
Gazette, is his last number of February 12, at page 285,
' should attempt to screen Dr. Sir Theodore de Mayerne from
participation in the murder of Sir Thomas Overbury by
poison administered " medicinally," and this, too, in the face
of such an eminent jurist as Mr. Amos. As to Mayerne being
retained in the King's service after the death of Overbury and
Prince Henry (which is relied upon by the Gazette as proof
of his innocence), it is, in our judgment, no inference what-
ever in his favour but rather the contrary, since it was the
King's interest to 'keep the poisoning a secret. In conclu-
sion, we beg to state that we have shown, in all their bear-
ings, by an illustration, the dangers to which all classes of
her Majesty's subjects are exposed so long as deadly chemicaloetors
preparations are held out " medicinally," whether by d
or no doctors, the whole of which is made palpable to the
meanest capacity. The illustration may be had at the
Hygeist office, 368, Strand, London, and, in our opinion,
should be in the possession of every individual.—We are, Sir,
your obedient servants, the Members of the British College
of Health, for and on behalf of Hygeists.—Feb. 15,1847.

The mortality of London, and indeed, of England
generally, shows a gradual annual decrease, whilst it is well
known the population increases considerably. The rates of
premium for life insurance have been greatly reduced during
the last few years, yet the offices continue as prosperous as
formerly. These 'acts clearly demonstrate that some cause,
either unknown or unheeded, must have produced such
favourable results. Amongst these causes, the increased
knowledge of anatomy, and the many very valuable disco-
veries in medicine, will stand most prominent. The small-
pox, that annually carried off thousands, has been success-
fully combatted by vaccination ; and Gout, that used to claim
its numerous victims, has been thoroughly vanquished by
Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills.

teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction
of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve
