MARLI3OROUGI-L,STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Maurice Alderman, a young sturdy beggar, was
placed at the bar.
Police-sergeant No. 16, of the C division, stated that
about six o'clock last evening he saw the prisoner in
Grosvenor-square, begging of every person he met with.
To fernales that were alone his manner was fierce and
intimidating, and.a knobby bludgeon he had with him,
which he sometimes made a pretext of assisting him to
walk with, he held up with what zany persons would
consider a threatenin,_: gesture. He took him into cus-
tody, and had conveyed him as far as n Vigo-street, e
Re-
gent .street, on the way to the station-house, Vigo-stn
th
prisoner suddenly turned upon him and made a blow
with all his might with the thickest end of the bludgeon
at his head, but he most fortunately parried it, but re-
ceived it on his shoulder, and was instantly felled to the
ground. The prisoner then set off running, but witness
regained his feet, pursued, and secured him.
The prisoner was committed for two months to hard
labour.

BRAZILIAN MINING COMPANY.
(THIS DAY,)
A meeting of this Company took place this day at the
City of London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the
accounts from the Secretary, and other statements rela-
tive to the mines in the possession of the Company.
There was a large attendance of Proprietors at two
o'clock, the hour at which the meeting was called.
J. 'WALKER, Esq., took the chair, and called on
The SECRETARY to read the minutes of the last meet-
ing, which were confirmed. He then read the Report of
the Company, which stated the prospects of the mines
were -looking up, but that they were unsettled.
Still it was necessary to adopt the strictest
economy. The accounts showed a profit for the current
year of upwards of 4,0001. The Directors had every
reason to believe that the accounts would show in future
years a gradual increase in the profits.—(Hear, hear.)
The mines had yielded 4101bs. of gold, realising the
sum of 14.0001., after paying insurance, freight, &c.
After a short discussion the Report was received, and

BRITONS—(THIS DAY.)
A meeting of the above Society was held this day at
the Freemasons"ravern, Great Queen street, Drury-

presented to her Majesty the Queen, congratulating her
on the auspicious event which has recently taken
place, and which has given the Throne of England an
heir-apparent in the person of his Royal Highness the
Duke of Cornwall, the future Prince of Wales.
The meeting was called for twelve o'clock precisely,
but there were but few of the Society present.
Mr. Williams took the chair, and was sup-
ported by Messrs. Jones, Evans, Symonds, Hughes,
Davis, Hugh Edmonds, Ellis, 0. W. Thomas, Wm.
Thomas, Wm. Jones, and Drs. Rollands and Richards.
The CHAIRMAN immediately rose and said that he had
received a letter from the Secretary, apologising for his
non-attendance at the meeting, but stating the address
would be ready as soon as the Prince of Wales was ga-
zetted. A person had been sent to search the records at the
British Museum for the purpose of ascertaining the usual
course on such an occasion. As soon as the Prince of
Wales was gazetted, the Society of Loyal Ancient Bri-
tons would call a general public meeting, due notice of
which would be given. The Chairman then said, that as
that was but a preliminary meeting they would then
adjourn. • •

.and carried, and
the meeting separated at half-past twelve o'clock.

A LUNATIC AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE.—
In the course of yesterday afternoon a respectably-
dressed man, of middle age, made his appearance at
Buckingham Palace, with a ox under his arm, and re-
quested to be admitted to an audience with her Ma-
jesty--a request, of course, most peremptorily refused,
on which the unfortunate man (it is said) demanded
an entrance, and tried to force himself into the door.
He was immediately given into custody of the police,
and without delay conveyed to Bow-street police-office,
where, after a short examination before Mr. Hall, the
Magistrate was so convinced of the insanity of the party
that he =de out an order for his reception into Bedlam.
The individual was then conveyed by the police to Gar-
dener's-lane station•house, King-street, until the warrant
for his admission into Bedlam was countersigned by Sir
James Graham, Secretary of State for the I lome Depart-
ment, which signature having been obtained, we under-
stand the unfortunate man was taken to St. George's-
fields, and will remain there, at all events until further
inquiries can be made respecting him.—Since the above
was written we have heard that the individual above
referred to either is, or lately has been, in the service of
Viscount Hood, and he came up to town by the Great
Western Railroad yesterday morning. On arriving near
' Hanwell Lunatic Hospital he jumped out of one of the
carriages and ran across a bridge near the spot, and the
. next that was heard of him was, trying to obtain an en-
trance into Buckingham Palace in the manlier above de-

scribed.
SUNDERLAND CORPORATION.—It is under- !
stood that legal proceedings are about to be instituted in :
the Court of Chancery to compel the Town Council of •
Sunderland to refund to the ratepayers 2,0001.,
which
was improperly exprnded from the borough fund in
defending the writ of quo warranto issued against Mr.
Andrew White for illegally acting as Mayor of that
borough before Sunderland was ihcluded in the pro-
visions of the Municipal Corporations Amendmnt
Act. The Court of Queen's .wench two years ago
decided that the expenditure complained of was not
lawful, and struck the charges out of the corporation ac-
countg, but that Court not having the power to order
restitution to its rightful owners, the Court of Chancery
is now being appealed to for that purpose. —Newcastle
Journal.

the health of the Queen and the infant Prince was drank,
as might be expected, with the greatest euthusiasm.
