How SMALLPDX IS SPREAD IN THE METROPOLIS.—
Edgar Mayere, a seaman, was brought up at the Thames
Police-court, charged with an offence under the Sanitary
Act, in not making known to a cab-driver, named Weller
that he was labouring under the smallpox when he hired
his cab on the 7th of last month. Weller has been fined
20s. for not immediately disinfecting his cab•`after he was
made acquainted with the fact that the man he carried
was labouring under smallpox. It appeared that the de-
fendant hired the cab on Stepney-green, and was driven
to the London Hospital, where he was refused admission,
on the ground that he was labouring under smallpox, and
that by the regulations of the hospital contagious diseases
were not admitted.EThe defendant then ordered Weller to
drive him to the Whitehapel Unionhouse, where he was
also refused admission by Mr. Mayer, the master, who
found him in the .midst of 50 or 60 paupers in the
hall, and ordered the driver back to the London Hospital'
where he was refused a second time, and he ultimately
found his way to the smallpox hospital. Police-Sergeant
Briden of the K division, traced the course of th 9 cab,
which went upon a cab rank, and carried passengers all
over London before the police were made acquainted with
the affair. Mr. Harvey, the proprietor of the cab, said
he had disinfected it, tore out the linings, destroyed the
cushions, and repainted the cab. It had not been
out plying for hire in • the public streets since
the 7th of December. The defendant, in reply
to the charge, said he did not know the fare,
he carried was labouring under smallpox, when
he entered his cab. Mr. Paget : But you knew it after
you had been to the hospital. He fined the defendant
55., and also ordered him to pay £3, the expenses of dis-
infecting the cab, or be imprisoned one month. The
defendant could not pay the money, and Mr. Harvey
kindly offered to accept of £2, which was paid, and the
defendant was liberated.

A traveller at au hotel in Omaha saw an old gray-
beaded flea crawling over the page on which he had
just registered his name ! He went away alarmed, as
it was, he said, the first place he was ever in where the
fleas looked over the hotel register to find out where your
room was.

We read in an American paper that "compositors
engaged at the New York Tribune office are fined ten cents
for each profane word uttered on the premises, the
money so gathered being given to the poor. One unfor-
tunate new hand lost nearly a week's wages in a single
night over a bit of Horace Greeley's manuscript."

NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION.—At a recent
meeting of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution
rewards were voted to the crews of various lifeboats who
had been out on service during the late storms. The
lifeboat men had suffered greatly in some instances from
the intense cold. Many lives were saved by the exertions
of the crews of the different lifeboats, who persevered in
their efforts in spite of great difficultyand danger. Among
the most successful services rendered were those of the
Tynemouth lifeboat, which, after several gallant attempts,
rescued seven men from the wrecked brigantine Amalia,
of Stavanger; and those of the Wexford lifeboat, which
rescued nine men from a smack which was
stranded, and on another occasion seventeen ,
men from a Spanish barque, which had gone on the
Dagger Bank on the Irish Coast. The silver medal of
theinstitution, and a copy of the vote inscrtedßoenetvheolvluenm,
were granted to Mr. Smith, boatswain of the

An order was received at Woolwich on Thursday frofii
the Horse Guards, directing an addition of 500 drivers to
be at once enlisted for the Royal Horse Artillery. The
recruiting for drivers for the Royal Artillery has been for
the present discontinued, the required number of men
having been obtained, but the work is still going on for
gunners for the brigades of garrison artillery, although
the number now enlisted is not so large as it was a ftly
weeks since.
