A public dinner was given by the Callington Reform
Association, on Thursday last, to J. S. Trelawny, Esq.,
the son of the Lord Lieutenant of Cornwall. Three
hundred electors were present, and the result of the
meeting was most cheering to the Liberal cause, there
having been a most decided gain in the registrations for
Callington, Liskeard, Launceston, and other places.

NAVAL AND MILITARY.
The medical strength of the army has been increased
by the addition of 21 assistant-surgeol4 to the regiments

in India and China. The 25th, at the Cape, is the only
corps out of India that has three assistant-surgeons.
Three lieutenants and three ensigns are to be added to
the 98th Regiment, and it is to be recruited to 120 men
above its establishment, in consequence of its having been
placed under orders for China.
Sixty anchors, and the same number of chain cables,
with buoys, &e., are ordered to be sent to China for the
purpose of throwing booms across the rivers and canals,
to prevent fire-rafts being sent down to destroy our ship-
ping.

LAW AND POLICE.
Three boys were committed at the Hatton-garden
office, on Monday, to take their trial for stealing from
their parents, and the fathers in each instance were

bound over to prosecute.
At Guildhall a boy was committed to Bridewell for a
month for attempting to pick pockets, in view of the
gallows, on Monday.
At Union-hall, on Monday, a case came before Mr.

refusing temporary relief to persons applying for it With
an order from a Magistrate, when Mr. Cottingham inti-
mated that for the future, if any in tance of that kind
happened again, he would•inilict the full penalty (51.) on
the- relieving overseer.
An erroneous impression having been prevalent among
apprentices that an indenture was not binding unless a
premium had been paid to the master, a case was re-
terred to the City Solicitor, who conanunicatet4 his opi-
nion to the Chief Clerk at the Mansion-house on Monday,

in which he states that "he could find no case in which
the doctrine contended for was laid down, and he was,
therefore, convinced, on referring to the different statutes
on the point, that a Magistrate had jurisdiction whether
a premium were paid or not. The Lord Mayor, acting.
on this opinion, sent a refractory apprentice to the House
of Correction, to be kept at hard labour, for a month. A
number of lads, who were waiting the result, immediately
scampered off to their ,work.
At Marylebone office, Mr. Rogers, landlord of the
Horse and Groom, Edgeware-road, was summoned by

conduct in his house. The sergeant swore he saw
drunken persons at the bar, and the constable who accom-
panied him swore he saw none, upon which the Magis-
trate dismissed the charge.
