DERBY SWEEPS ♦ND UNLICENSED MUSIC.

The CHAIRMAN took occasion to observe that the
Court was determined to put down those petty lotteries
called Derby Sweeps, which were now so general in
public-houses. The Court had received no return of
the houses in which those illegal and mischievous
schemes were carried on. But he now called on the
inspectors of police to attend in future to this duty, and
licenses would be in future withheld from those persons
who abused them for purposes so different from those
for which they were granted. On the subject of music
licenses the Learned Gentleman also observed, that
there was a strong feeling amongst the members of that
bench that there was a very prevalent abuse amongst
houses which had not obtained music licenses, but in
which musical entertainments were given to the injury
of those houses which had been duly licensed. He
wished that the police would be particular in their seve-
ral districts, to report every house in which the illegal
practice was carried on, and the owners of those places
would find, when they came before the Court, that their
licenses were in jeopardy.

WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAI.)
Walter Sturt Tonge, a clerk at the Victoria Cemetery,
was charged with embezzling various sums of money, the
property of the company.
It appears that this elegantly laid out burial place has
been opened about three years, and that during that
period the prisoner has been employed to receive monies
for the opening of graves, &c., &c., and from the fact of
his being most respectably connected the utmost confi-
dence was reposed in him. A handsome residence was
provided for him, and he was also allowed a
liberal salary. It was the duty of the pri-
soner to pay in to the company's solicitor, Mr.
Humphreys, from time to time, the amount he had
received, and his conduct in this respect was apparently
unimpeachable. At length, however, certain discrepan-
cies on his part were discovered by Mr. Humphreys,
which led to an investigation into the prisoner's ac-
counts, which resulted in his being given into the cus-
tody of a police-constable.
A gentleman, on the part of Mr. Humphreys, sug-
gested the propriety of a remand, as, in addition to the
delinquencies which were then ready to be gone into,
there were a number of others, some of which would
perhaps be more conclusive against the prisoner.
The ➢Magistrate acquiesced, and the prisoner was ac-
cordingly remanded until Wednesday next.

Mr. Hudson, M.P., accompanied by Mrs. and Miss
Hudson, Mr. Hudson, jun., Mr. Duudas, M.P., and the
Rev. Mr. Brown, took their departure from Lowther
Castle, on Wednesday last, for Newby Park, the latest
accounts from which place represent Mr. Hudson to be
perfectly recovered from his recent indisposition, and as
actively engaged as ever in the discharge of his multifa-
rious duties. On the same day, Miss Lowther and Miss
Ellen Lowther left the castle, where they had been visit-
ing during the preceding week, for Distington.
Colonel Macadam, li.H., has arrived at Bath, from
Torquay.
Colonel and Mrs. Chatterton left town yesterday
morning, on a tour in North Wales.

nishead Priory, they took their departure for the Ft rry
Inn, on the banks of Windermere.
