CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)

James Panthar was charged with embezzling
various sums of money, the property of his employers,
Messrs. Covington and Co., wharfingers and lighter-
men, of the City-road-wharf, City-road.
It appeared that the prisoner had been entrusted
with a cheque: for 9/. gs. to pay a tax-collector a sum
of 2/. 25., and after that to disburse the balance in
the payment of several petty accounts, but it was
found that several of those which he had entered as
paid had been left unpaid. He had also received a
sum of 13s. 4d. from a customer of the firm, named
Jackson, for which he had failed to account.

The prisoner was remanded to Wednesday, to pro-
cure the attendance of several of those to whom the
prisoner said he had paid the money.

THAMES.-(THIS DAY.)

No less than eight charges were brought forward,
one after the other, in which no individual appeared
to prosecute, and on inquiry neither of the policemen
who took the various parties into custody knew any-
thing of the matter. On the Bth charge being brought
forward, two very respectably-dressed females were
placed in the dock, one of whom had been bailed out,
but the other not, and police-constable II 135 stating
there was no prosecutor, and that he did not see the
assault complained of,
Mr. YARDLEY observed, " This is not the first time
I-

have had to complain of the conduct of policemen
in taking parties into custody without being ac-
quainted with the real facts of the case. Here have
I had no less than ten individuals brought before me
this morning charged with frivolous offences, in which
it is more than probable, from the non appearanco of
the parties charging, that they were themselves the
aggressors, and thus a double injury has been inflicted.
I hope this will not occur again, or I shall be under
the necessity of adopting some steps to put a stop to a
practice so highly reprehensible."

THE ROYAL PALACE AND THE FINISHING TOUCHES
TO ITS FORMER MAJESTY AND ELEGANCE.—The build-
ing has been carried up very rapidly, and has now
reached its height, with the exception of the central por-
tion. We regret to say that its effect is even less satis-
factory than it was in our engraving. Its characteristic
is littleness : of monumental character, originality,
elegance, there is none. So far from being more than an

THE POWER OF THE PRESS.-111 the year 1272,
the wages of a labouring man were just three-halfpence
per day ; and at the same period the price of a Bible
well written out was 301. sterling. Of course a common
labourer in those days could not have procured a Bible
with less than the entire earnings of 13 years. Now a
beautifully printed copy of the same book can be pur-
chased with the earnings of half day.--lierwick Ad-
