POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
A City policeman named Edmonds, was charged before
Alderman Gibbs, with having assaulted and falsely
imprisoned Mrs. Levi.
Mr. Hobler believing from her appearance that Mrs.
Levy was not a Jewess, and perceiving that she took
hold of the Old Testament when called upon to be sworn,
asked her whether she was a person of that persuasion ?
Mrs. Levy—No, Sir.
Alderman GIBBS—Why then do you take the Old
Testament in your hand ? Mrs. Levy—Because my
husband is a Jew, and women who are not of their re-
ligion and are married to Jews, are expected to do as
their husbands do.
Alderman GIBBS—To what religion do you belong
then ?To the Roman Catholic ? Mrs. Levy—No. To
the Protestant religion. There is ao difference at all in
my opinion.
Alderman Glans—What ! no difference between the
Protestant religion and the Jewish ? Mrs. Levy—Not
the least in the world I do assure you, my Lord.
Alderman Grans—Why, do you not believe in our
Saviour? Mrs. Levy—Certainly I do.
Mr. Holder—And don't you know that the Jews say
there is no such person ? Mrs. Levy—l certainly think
differently in that respect from the Jews.
Alderman GIBBS—And you think there is no diffe-
rence between a Jew and a Christian ? Mrs. Levy—
None at all that ever I could see.—(A laugh.)
Alderman Glans—Then I shall certainly not let you
be sworn at all. Mrs. Levy—Nobody amongst the
Jews ever asked me whether I was a Jewess or not.
Alderman GIBBS—I shall not swear you. You appear
to be neither the one nor the other.
Defendant—Then am I discharged, my Lord ?
Alderman GlBBS—Don't be in such a hurry. Let
any other witness come forward.
Mary Jones, niece of the owner of a public-house in
the district which the defendant watches, stated that be-
tween the hours of nine and ten at night she heard the
voice of Mrs. Levy in the street, calling aloud to her
I uncle, and upon running out to ascertain what was the
matter, observed Edmonds pushing or shoving her
against the shutters. Mrs. Levy was at the time bring.
ing two pounds and a half of cigars to the house. Ed-
monds then took Mrs. Levy to the station-house.
Alderman GIBBS—How did he shove her ? Mary
Jones—lle took her by the collar of the cloak.
Defendant—Did not your uncle desire you not to serve
me at all? Mary Jones—No. I have served you and an-
other person who was with you. I don't know what he
might have told others.
Thomas Batchelor, a person who said he resided in
Barking Church-yard, deposed that he saw the defendant
take hold of Mrs. Levy by the cloak and drag her away
from Mr. Jones's door, desiring at the same time another
officer to take care that she did not drop anything.
Defendant—Did I not say to her, " If you do not
satisfy me as to what you have got under your cloak, I
shall take you to answer my Inspector at the station-
house?" Batchelor--I did not hear you say so.
The defendant then stated that as he was walking
along his beat he observed Mrs. Levy with a bulk under
her cloak, walking quickly. She looked particularly at
him as she passed, and he suspected that she had some-
thing about her for which she could not properly account,
and questioned her, as he considered it to be his duty to
do. The answer he received was a volley of abuse. She
told him he was a villain ; that she paid to support him
and other fellows of the kind, and that she would have
him punished ; and when she got close to the public-
house belonging to Mr. Jones, she told him he might go
in and see what she had about her. He then considered it
to be his business—as he could not go into the public-
house, and as his suspicions were increased instead of
being diminished—to take her to the station-house. The
bulk was occasioned by a large bonnet under the cloak.
He entirely denied having used the least violence.
A City policeman, named Morris, stated that the de-
fendant called him to walk behind Mrs. Levy, and see
that she did not drop anything, and he heard her use the
most insulting language towards the defendant as they
walked to the station-house.
The Defendant—l have other witnesses, my Lord.
Alderman Gibbs—No. I dismiss the case.
Two Spaniards, in a most wretched condition, with
famine in their faces, were brought by Brand, the Mar-
shalman, before the Aldermen. They stated that they gad
unfortunately worked, the one as steward, and the other as
cook, in a British vessel from Baltimore to this country,
and subsequently to India, and back to England, and
after having undergone great privation, they were obliged
to sleep in the streets, until they received the aid of the
Refuge for the houseless poor.
Alderman Gibbs asked the unfortunate objects whe-
ther the Spanish Ambassador, or the Spanish Consul, had
refused to do anything for them ?
Brand said, that by the direction of the Lord Mayor,
he had gone with them to the Spanish Consul, but they
were treated like dogs by that functionary, who said that
as they had assisted in working a British 'vessel they
could receive no aid from the Spanish Government.
Alderman Grans asked the men whether they had ap-
plied to the Spanish Ambassador ?—They replied that
they had been sent by the Consul to the Ambassador,
and by the Ambassador to the Consul, ba4kwards and
forwards several times.
Mr. Hobler—These poor creatures must not perish in
the streets. If they were to sit down at the door of the
Spanish Ambassador, that functionary would probably
listen to them.

The Spaniards said that their object was to get home,
and they were able and willing to work their way if the
Spanish authorities would only show them the way.
Alderman Ginns—Let these men be taken to the City
of London Union, and be supported till we see what can
be done to prevail upon the Spanish authorities to act
upon the occasion.

Meyer Morris, the native of Hamburgh who was some
days ago charged with having run away with a quantity
of cutlery from Sheffield, was again brought up.
A letter was read from Sheffield, stating that there
were several cases against the prisoner in that town, but
that none of them were ready for prosecution.
Alderman GIBBS asked. Mr. Moore, of Sheffield, who
charged the prisoner with the offence, whether all the
goods which the prisoner had obtained from him were
stopped at the place of landing ?
Mr. Moore replied that he found that only two out of
four boxes of his cutlery were secured. The rest, he ap-
prehended had been sent off to Hamburgh.
The prisoner in the most positive manner said that the
transaction was a bona fide one, and that the very people
who were said to have calumniated him in Sheffield
would most willingly give him credit at that moment.
Alderman GIBBS—Why do you not pay for the
goods now ? Prisoner—Why, he never asked me for
the payment.—(A laugh.)
Mr. Moore—fie and his colleague went away from
Sheffield without even paying for their board. Prisoner
—That's a lie, Mr. Moore.
Mr. Moore—Another party, a friend of his, robbed
us of 9/. worth of goods. Prisoner—That's a lie, Mr.
Moore.

The prisoner's solicitor contended, that as a bill of
parcels had been regularly made out, and the goods had
been delivered, the accusation was of no effect.
Mr. Moore--lie never was to have any credit what-
ever. He promised to be back in an hour, but off he
scampered with the goods, and I never saw him again
till I found him smoking his pipe on board the steamer
to London,
Alderman Grnns then directed Brand, the marshal-
man, to take the prisoner by the railroad in custody to
Sheffield, and there deliver him up to the authorities of
that town.

GUILDHALL.
Police-constable 279 brought a young man before Mr.
Alderman Farebrother, on a trifling charge of felony,
which was discharged, no person appearing to prosecute.
The constable, in making the statement to the Court,
was almost inaudible from hoarseness, occasioned by a
severe cold, and in reply to the worthy Alderman, said
he attributed his sickness to the insufficiency of the
police clothing to guard against the severity of the pre-
sent weather, as the cape which they wore allowed the
rain to penetrate in such a manner that half an hour's
shower would soak them through.
Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER said, let the constable
get a certificate from Mr. Brand, the surgeon to the City
Police, and have the whole of the facts at once laid be-
fore the City Commissioner. He should also wish the
surgeon's certificate to be laid before the Court of Alder-
men, who knew nothing at all about the matter. Some
steps must be taken to put an end to this state of things,
which was disgraceful to a city like London.
Fewer of those charges incident to the conviviality of
the festival of Christmas came before the Sitting Alder-
man this year than perhaps at any previous one—whether
from harder times, or more good sense on the part of the
poorer classes, we have no means of ascertaining.

CITY SOBRIETY.—From the-----
circumstance of
Saturday being Christmas-day, the reports brought by
the police under the notice of the City Magistrates em-
braced two days and two nights, notwithstanding which,
no more than five charges of drunkenness and disorder
appeared in the charge-sheets for their adjudication.
This extraordinary event is ascribed by the
Aldermen
to the efficacy of the Police Bill, particularly to that
clause which shuts up the public-houses from twelve at
night on Saturday till one next day, and includes in the
same regulation the Christmas-day and Good Friday,
and the night preceding each of these great holidays.
The vigilance of the City police officers, under the ac-
tive control of the City Commissioner, and the peremp-
tory fines inflicted, also greatly contribute to this excel-
lent change.

IRELAND.
DUBLIN, DEC. 24.—The Corn-law Repealers of England
may rely upon it, that the people of Ireland not only
sympathise with them in their endeavours to obtain a
sufficiency of food at a moderate price for their country-
men, but that they will heartily co-operate with their
English brethren in effecting so desirable, so holy an
object. A series of demonstrations in favour of free trade
in food will be made in this country during the interval
between this and the meeting of Parliament. The first
of them took place last night in the banquetting room of
the Mansion-house. The meeting was originally intended
to have been held in the Rotunda ; but it was found that
the place would be totally inadequate to accommodate
the numbers applying for tickets ; it was accordingly
determined on holding it in the Mansion-house, and the
result was a complete triumph for the Repealers.
At seven o'clock in the evening the Lord Mayor took
the chair.
The LORD Mason, on taking the chair, said it was
with the greatest alacrity he obeyed the summons to
take the chair. It was impossible for any subject to be,
in its nature, of a deeper or graver interest than that
which called them together that evening ; it related to
the food of the people. The effect of the present law
was starvation. The world had arrived at a period
when it was emphatically necessary for all statesmen
to look to the good of the working classes. There was
no danger of the wealthier classes of the State, unless
they involved themselves in that peril by pertinaciously
insisting that a portion of their wealth should be derived
from the taxation of the people.—(Hear.) They had met
that evening to consider the effects of the bread-tax ;it
was a tax which made bread dearer to every human
being—(Hear, hear)—and, of course, the pressure of
that dearness was felt by the poor and labouring classes.
As to the wealthier classes of the State, the quantity of
bread they consumed, as compared with their general
expenditure, was trivial, but to the working classes it was
a question of life and death. The pressure of this tax
was grossly unequal, and the pressure on the wealthier
classes was totally insignificant, and that was demon-
strated by the single reflection that the quantity of
bread that wealthy persons consumed was very insignifi-
cant in comparison with their expenditure ; whereas the
quantity of bread the poor man consumed was the entire
bulk of his expenditure for food, and made nine-tenths
of the value of his productive power and of his wages.—
(Hear, hear.) If the Corn-law were of any value any-
where it would be of value in Ireland. Now, he ap-
pealed to every man who heard him, if wages were
lower in Ireland than in any other portion of the 7:aitish
dominions ? Wages were lower here than any other
part of the entire world.—(Hear.) miserable six-
pence a day was the utmost the lador received in Ire-
land, except in the vicinage 04: the greater towns, where
the wages rose higher. If any country profited by the
Corn-laws it would be Ireland, and if the Corn-laws had
a tendency to raise wages it would raise them in Ireland,
whereas the direct contrary was the fact.--(Hear, hear.)
That demonstrated that the Corn-laws did not raise
wages. But even if it were useful to Ireland, and in-
jurious to the British dominions, he would say, perish the
advantages that were thus obtained for Ireland at the
cost of any other portion of the country. He would
say, that though he was a Repealer, and preferred Ire-
land, yet he did not wish to give her a preference by
• means of injustice or iniquity.—(Cheers.) It was their
duty to stand by the people of England in that
struggle, and a gentleman would address them who had
come there to join with him in calling on the Irish to
join in that struggle. On his left was Mr. Thompson,
whose name was inscribed on the brightest pages in
the history of human benevolence.—(Cheers.) H was
one of the men that was instrumental in striking the
chains from off 100,000 of their coloured fellow subjects,
and in obtaining that splendid act of generosity, the
emancipation of the negro slaves through the British
dominions.—(Cheers.) They had also amongst them
another distinguished English gentleman, Mr. Bright,
who had taken an active part in the emancipation of the
slaves of England from the tyranny of the oligarchy.—
(Cheers.) His knowledge and information would in-
struct and delight them, and though his accent might be
different from their own, the generous emotions of his
heart beat responsive to theirs in the cause of suffering
humanity.--(Cheers.) They would hear the gentlemen,
he was sure, with the deepest attention, their charac-
ters deserved that every respect should be paid to them,
and the information they were capable of giving would
reward any lengthened attention they bestowed on them.
They should all recollect that they were struggling to
feed the hungry and clothe the naked, and they would
now be addressed by Mr. Bright, one of the gentlemen of
whom he had spoken.
Mr. BRIGHT and Mr. THOMPSON subsequently ad-
dressed the meeting : they were listened to throughout
with the greatest attention ; and on resuming their
seats, were enthusiastically cheered. Mr. Thompson
concluded by expressing a hope of seeing an Anti-Corn
Association formed in Dublin, and petitions sent in from
various parts of the country, for the repeal of the unjust
laws, the effects of which he had been describing to them.
—(Cries of " So you will.")
The LORD MAYOR said that such an association
should be for med, and the announcement was hailed
with cheers.
Mr. NV TIERNAN, of Mount Tallon, then came for-
ward, and was greeted very warmly. He was most
happy to have that opportunity of informing the gen-
tlemen who had come there from England—and he
told them so as an Irish landlord—that lie, for one, who
possessed estates in this country, was favourable to a
repeal of the present system of Corn-laws.—(Loud
cheers.) He spoke there as a landlord, and he knew
that a vast number of landlords in this country enter-
tained similar opinions.—(Hear, hear.) The law, as it
stood at present, was murderous in its nature and ten-
dency, and he had no doubt whatever that the time was
come when Sir Robert Peel himself, and the most vio-
lent upholders of the present system, must yield to the
overpowering voice of the people, and repeal those ac-
cursed laws, which in their tendencies starved half the
population of this empire.—(Loud cheers.)
Counsellor .MoonE then addressed the meeting in an
eloquent speech, and concluded by proposing the follow-
ing resolutions :
" That the total and immediate repeal of the Corn-
laws, by permitting the unrestricted importation of food,
would essentially advance the agricultural condition of
Ireland, and would establish and revive Irish trade and
manufacture.
" That it is expedient that all Ireland should petition
for the total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws ;
and that measures be taken to procure signatures to the
petitions."
The LORD MAYOR said he would undertake to get
signatures to the petitions,
Mr. Alderman GARDINER was then called to the
Chair, and a warm vote of thanks, which was proposed
by Mr. THOMPSON, and seconded by the general meet-
ing, being passed to the Lord Mayor, the vast multitude
separated, giving three cheers for the Queen, the Lord
Mayor, the Repeal of the Union, and the Repeal of the
Corn-laws.
MEETINGS TO ADDRESS LORD DE GREY.
The Queen's County gentry and freeholders have fol-
lowed the example of the Corporation of Dublin, and
refused to address Lord de Grey. On Wednesday last
his Excellency's admirers, agreeable to requisition duly
presented to the High Sheriff, met at Maryborough for
the purpose of voting a congratulatory Address to the
Lord de Grey, but those who do not admire the Noble
Lord met there also, and as the latter happened to be in
a considerable majority, they moved an amendment to
the effect that an Address to the Queen on the birth of
the Prince of Wales should be presented, in place of the
intended one to Lord de Grey.
The amendment was proposed by Mr. P. SALON in an
admirable speech. When the gentleman had ceased
speaking,
The HIGH SHERIFF proceeded to put the resolution
and amendment separately, and although it was quite
evident that the resolution was negatived, and the amend-
ment carried by at least ten to one, the High Sheriff de-
clared otherwise. Here a scene of great commotion en-
sued, with cries of " Divide, divide," but the Sheriff, not
consenting to adopt that criterion, decamped with his
followers through a side door into the street, amidst the
hooting and shouting of the victors, who were left in full
possession of the Court-house.
At this time it could be easily discerned the disparity
of the numbers, as the Tories who decamped did not
leave a chasm visible in the crowded Court. The Sheriff
made his exit most unceremoniously, without waiting,
according to the usual mode, of voting another
person to
the chair.
On the flight of the Tories, Mr. Lalor was Proposed
:chairman by MICHAEL DUNNE, Esn

sconded by JOSEPH LYONS, Esq., J.P.

Queen, Prince Albert, and the Prince of "Wales. Three
cheers were given for O'Connell, and also for " honest

The people then quietly separated, greatly elated with
their victory over the Orange faction.

OUTRAGES IN TIPPERARY.
The Limerick Reporter,. received this morning, says
that outrages on person and property never were so pre-
valent (even in the most disturbed periods) in Tippe-
rary as at present. In part of Limerick and Clare a
similar spirit is manifesting itself, and yet the Govern-
ment is insane enough to think of dismissing the respon-
sible Magistracy.

Custom-house on Sundaywith the Dutch 3.1; Lil.

FATHERS AND SONS, A NOVEL BY
Hoox, ESQ.—While every body will agree that

his precious works,
but—u will feel that it derives an adventitious, but, neverthe-
less, a real and deep additional value, from the knowledge
that
it is the last offering he will ever contribute to " the
000fu hr
gaiety of a nation." In that admirable and inimitable
truth of character and force of humour which are the
leading features of Hook's works no one of those works
surpasses " Fathers and Sons ;" and in at least three of
its eliding characters, we do not call to mind one that
equals it. The two " Fathers," Bruff and Grindle
one of the " Sons," George Grindle, are, in their way,
equal to any thing of the kind that our literature can
boast. With the force of Smollett, and the general truth
of Fielding, they unite an off-hand ease and naturalness,
that no other writer ever attained. Mrs. Smylar, too,
is an admirable picture, representing at once an entire
class, and a perfectly individualized portrait. But the
merit of " Fathers and Sons " is not confined to its cha-
racters ; it boasts a plot of extreme ingenuity
Which
