in reference to the Whig Ministry, seeing that it
implies voluntary action, and suggests an idea in
opposition to that conveyed by the more appro-
priate, in that case, word " ejectment." Now,
without intending any disparagement to their honour,
their consistency, or their spirit, we may safely ven-
ture to assert that no set of Ministers, from the
earliest period recorded in history down to the pre-
sent, have ever adhered to office with equal tenacity
of grasp or insensibility to disgrace after intimations
so numerous and unequivocal (whether Royal, Par-
liamentary, or popular) that their further services
would be gladly dispensed with. In every case of" em-
barrassment," and embarrassment appears to attend
nearly every step they take, their cry is, " We will
resign," yet as surely are they ready on the next
day to sing in chorus with Lord Althorn, " You
see here we still are." The people of England
may therefore be assured that, threaten as they
may, the present Administration never will retire.
Whenever the golden fruits of office retire from
them, it will be without their goodwill or concur-
rence. The slightest intimation of a deficiency of
confidence on the part of one branch of the Legis-
lature was sufficient to determine the retirement of
the high-minded predecessors of Earl Grey and his
colleagues, while the open and avowed declaration
of the same feeling on the part of all is insufficient
to produce even a wavering on the point with them.
Verily, if we may be allowed to personify for a
moment the present Administration, and to decide
upon its character " phrenologically," we should
say that it exhibits a most extraordinarily promi-
nent development of the organ of " adhesiveness."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

G UILDHALL.

A FEMALE SWINDLER.—A young woman, named
Anna Eschke, was charged under the following circum-
stances:—

Mr. Gardner, the landlord of the Bull Inn, Holborn,
said that on Friday evening the defendant came in and
asked for a sitting-room, a sleeping-room, and some tea.
At bed-time she was, according to the custom of the house,
presented with the bill, which amounted to 3s. 6d. It
then appeared that she had no money, and that she had
just left an adjacent house, the Bell and Crown, where she
run a bill of 91. in 14 days, and could be induced to quit
only by being presented with a new bonnet. She had also
favoured the landlord of the Nuns, at Aldgate, with her
custom.

The defendant said she had recently returned from the
continent, and she conceived Mr. Escbke was bound to
pay her debts.

- The constable said she had been living with the gentle•
man, but he had " abdicated her."

The defendant was dismissed, on promising to pay
her bill.

MARLBOROUGH.STREET.

A little personage, with a prodigiously luxuriant crop
of hair, bearing the warlike names Nelson Augustus Wel-
lington, prefixed to his more peaceable patronymic of
Jones, was brought before Messrs. DYER and CONANT, on
Saturday, for having assaulted his wife.
_ _

Mrs. Jones, a young woman of very mild aspect, stated
that her husband had beaten her a few evenings ago, and
she added, with some hesitation, that it was not the first
time.

Mr. Jones owned that his young wife had spoken the
truth with regard to the assault; but he asserted that he
had bees urged to commit violence by great provocation.
Among other matrimonial matters, he had, he said, strictly
enjoined Mrs. Jones to have his chops always ready at one
o'clock precisely. But on the day of the assault, when he
made his appearance, be found the chops were uncooked,
and be was therefore compelled to propitiate the cravings
of nature with a sixpenny cut of boiled mutton, at an ad-
jacent " slap bang" shop. His mind, as he said, being in
a state of great irritation from what had occurred, he ad-
journed to a public-house, and having drunk rather freely,
he returned home, inflamed with wrath and rum and
water, and perpetrated the assault complained of.
Mr. DYER....But surely the delicate situation of your
wife ought to excuse any trifling neglect on her part, and
ought to insure your forbearance.
Mr. Jones—Oh ! I have taken all that into considera-
tion ; and I have provided a practitioner of the first emi-
nence to attend her in her confinement.
Mr. DYER—But if you continue this conduct you wilf
stand a fair chance of rendering the practitioner's skill o
no avail.
Mr. Jones—lt is not the first time I have had to com-
plain of my dinner being delayed, and my room disorderly.
I'm in the medical line, and am therefore liable to have
my skill required by all classes of his Majesty's subjects
at a moment's warning. Here at this present moment
my skill is wanted to a little child who broke its arm by a
horse kicking it. You see it is of the highest importance,
considering the great responsibility of my avocations,
that my dinner should be punctually ready at one o'clock.
The Magistrates concurred in thinking that as the dif-
ference was betwixt man and wife, it could be adjusted
amicably out of the office, especially as the complainant
displayed a strong reluctance to press the assault, and
thereupon they intimated that the warrant for the present
should be suspended.
_ _ _

" I'll settle the matter in another way," said Mr. Jones,
marching out of the office, without taking any notice of
his wife ; " I'll leave London, and go and live with my
mother."

Mr. DYER having caught the purport of his observation,
directed the officers to bring back the defendant, and then
questioned him as to the meaning of his words.
The defendant, with some confusion, said he only meant
that he would go into the country for a little recreation.
His wife, however, said abe believed he meant to leave
her to shift for herself.

Very well, said Mr. DYER, then the best way will be
to require him to find bail.
Mr. Nelson Augustus Wellington Jones was the❑ re-
moved in custody.
