THE PHRENOLOGICAL HAIR-

DRESSER.

PARIS POLICE CORRECTIONELLE.—Augustizz
Cha-
tillard is accused of not observing the laws of meum and
team, and of having established as a rule of conduct the
" appropriation clause." He is a juvenile, decked out
•fasSionablv, with an air distingue ; his hair, artistically
arranged, floats gracefully over his forehead. His delicate
hand, encased in a gent jaunt', swishes a gold. mounted
cane ; you would imagine that this elegant had made
the clubs and salons of Paris the theatre of his depreda-
tions ; -but, being modestly disposed, he was content to
extract some napkins, three bottles of Eau de Cologne,
two pots of pom.atum, a pair of razors:, and a moustache-
comb, from the shop of an humble hairdresser.
The coiffeur commenced his address to the bench as
follows :

Messieurs—You are perhaps aware that I am in an
humble profession. But this is the result of accident.
Ida not hold my proper position in society. Instead
of a comb I ought to wield a pen ; but reverses of for-
tune—

President—We wish to hear no information as to your
reverses.

Fig-aro—Perhaps not ; only I wish to inform you
that it was owing to my studies that I succeeded in
seizing the robber flagranle delicto. lam a profound
phrenologist, and take great delight in that truly—
President—Val you at once enter into the details of
the robbery ?

Figaro—l creep on insensibly to my subject. This
gentleman has confided the external arrangement of his
head to me. Perhaps some may accuse me of abusing
the confidence he reposed in me by minutely inspecting
the organs of his head. Imagine my horror at finding
two frightful protuberances immediately under the ears.
Consort the savans, Messieurs, and they will inform
you, that within these p-otuberancrs lurk the organs of
abstraction, which the vulgar herd denominate thievish
disposition. But to my tale. This miscreant arrived
at my shop on the 12th instant. I dressed his
hair after the most approved fashion. Ile tendered
me five francs. I retired to my Lick shop in search
of some change, but, remembering the awful protu-
berances on the encephalus, I tack the precaution of
leaving my eyes behind it.. Messieurs, 'twas wed I did
so ; my customer pocketed several articles, and retired.
I, however, marked the path he took, followed him,
and, on passing by the g.iardhouse, I collared him.
'Twerc vain to tell all that- followed. On his person
were found the articles abovir. alluded to.

M. Chatillard, during this eloquent address, continued
inspecting the coiffeur ti; rough his lorgnon, which
seemed to have the property• of representing the bather
in a most despicable light., if we may judge from M.
Chatillard's countenance. He declined to make any
reply or defence, and was acec rdingly condemned to be
locked up for six calendar months.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT BY 111ACHINERY.—
Yesterday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, as a man
named Alexander Leslie was oiling the engine at the Obserrer
office, where he was employed as a stoker, his foot slipped, and
in order to save himself he put ,out his hand, which caught in
the engine, and his arm we a severed off above the wrist. He
instantly ran into the machine-room and exclaimed. " Look at
my arm." He was convey( dto Charing-cross Hospital. The
unfortunate man has a large family.
EFFECTS OF THE WEATHER.---On Tuesday,

Esq., of Hinton Blewitt, :enters*, indicated a depression
lower than has been observed ley him at any period wit bin the
last twenty-two years,

In corroboration cf this rerna A-able fact, the barometers of two
neighbour s were referred to ky that gentleman, and found to
