ther since Monday last, and the arrivals of Meat from
the country having been comparatively small, the gene-
ral demand is steady, and prices are well supported in
every instance. About 2,800 carcases of Foreign Meat
were disposed of last week.

MARL BRO'—STREE r-( THIS DAY).
THE :SCHOOLMASTER AIIROAD. —John Land), a lad
abuut 10 years of age, whose head scarcely re,ached the
top of the dock, wss charged betore Mr. Bingham with
throwing stones in Hyde-park, aLd damaging Mrs. Sid-
ney Smith's carriage.
The constable wno had the charge stated that it was
not Mrs. Sidney Smith's intention to appear to press the
charge, and handed to the magistrate the following note
from the boy's mother:—

Molber•street Police Corte.

" J. Lamb i went to Lady sedney smith and she Bade
she did not want the Race to go anney furether as he
waa so Yong and he did not do it on porperes."
The reading of this note caused great laughter in court.
The boy was then directed to be handed over to the care
of his mother.
THE EFFECTS OF THE BOTTLE.—Amelia Van Holsh,
the widow of the late celebrated artist of that name,
was brought betore Mr. Bingham, charged with being
drunk and annoying several gentlemen in Coventry-
street. . .

Constable 117 C said, on the previous night, he was
on duty in Coventry-street, where he saw the prisoner,
mho was the worse for liquor, go up to several gentlemen
and lay hold of their arms. As the gentlemen seemed
much annoyed at the prisoner's conduct, witness went
up to her and requested her to desist, and go home
quietly. Instead of taking his advice she abused him
mith such disgusting language that he was obliged to
take her to the station. At the latter place her lan-
guage was equally bad and obscene.
The prisoner denied the charge 772 Coto, and said she
was a respectable woman, and not accustomed to get
tipsy.
Mr. BINGIIAM was incredulous as to the latter fact,
and fined her 108., or in default to be committed for 7
days.
:dr. Samuel Sharman, undertaker, Mount-street,
Grosvernor-square, was charged with being drunk and
disorderly.
The charge having been proved by 111 C, the fine of
ss. was inflicted.
Francis ill'Hugh, gentleman, was charged with the
same offence, and was liberated on paying the usual
drunkard's fine of ss.

Fugleman, Herbert, The Cocktail, Windhound, oue of
Lord Exeter's, Grief, Goldfinder, The Castle (d), Sprite
filly, Miss Julia, Avis, Leap-year, and perhaps Tight-
waist. One or two others, such as Clothworker, Valen-
tine, or Sauter-la-Coupe, may also start, but it is very
dubious. My opinion of the decision'remaius unaltered
FUGLENAN or HERBERT to win, with Grief, Goldfiuder,

wick)-2 to lon Leap-year. Castle Park Stakes-2 to

REPRESENTATION OF EAST YORKSHIRE.--A meet-
ing of the Conservative gentry of the East Riding was held
at Beverley on Wednesday last to take measures for supply-
ing the vacancy occasioned by the recent death of Mr.
Henry Broadley. Mr. Yarburgh Grame, Mr. Phillip
Saltmarshe, jun., of Saltmarshe, near Howden, and several
other gentlemen successively declined the proffered honour
of becoming a candidate. A requisition was then unani-
mously signed, calling upon Mr. Edward Christopher Eger-
ton, son of Mr. Wilbraham Egerton, of Tatton-park,
Cheshire, to offer himself at the ensuing election. Mr. Eger-
ton is the nephew of Sir Tatton Sykes, of Hedmere, who
presided at the meeting, and it is believed that he will com-
ply with the ri quisition sent to him.
THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY., AUG•
30.—The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com-
pany's ship Tagus, Captain J. Russell, sailed yesterday
(Friday) for Gibraltar, Alalta, and Constantinople, with a
full cargo and several passengers, among whom was the
Archdeacon of Gibraltar. The return of passengers who
have landed at Southampton during the month of August
again exhibits a considerable increase when compared with
the corresponding period of 1850. The total number of tra-
vellers from all parts of the world who have landed in the
Southampton Docks in the month ending this day is 7,4;2,
bringing 12,011 packages of baggage, against 2,185 passen-
gers with 5,846 packages of baggage in August, 1850, show-
ing an increase of 5,2;7 persons and 6,165 packages of bag-
gage. The number of foreigners included in this month's
return is not so large as might have been anticipated, being
only 2,517, of which 1,893 were males and 608 females, with 16
children. The returns are principally swelled by thegreat aug-
mentation in the number of passengers from Paris and Havre,
in consequence of the cheap through fares adopted by the Lon-
don and South-Western Railway Company. The total num-
ber from Havre bas been 3,629, against 585 last year. The
South-Western steamers from France being always crowded,
sometimes inconveniently and almost dangerously so, on
several occasions as many as 250 to 300 persons having been
conveyed across the Channel, while the size of the steamers
employed afforded little more than standing r..oin for so large
a number of passengers during a Channel trip of from nine to
ten hours duration. The Postmaster-General has ordered a
daily mail bag to be made up at the General Post-office for
Havre, to be forwarded via Southampton. Letters therefore
mailed in London ,by 5.30 P.M., and addressed by way of
Southampton, will be delivered in Havre the next morning,
thus affording a great convenience to the mercantile interest.
The schooner yacht America has sailed from Cowes for the
Thames.
THE RECENT FIRE NEAR LONDON•BRIDGE.--..ThO
restoration of the warehouses belonging to Mr. Alderman
Humphery, at the Southwark end of London-bridge, which
were destroyed by the great fire about two months ago, is
rapidly progressing; Messrs. Cubitt and Co., the eminent
builders, having undertaken to complete the work in a
period of three months, the premises being required for
the warehousing of hops by the close of the hop season.
Every precaution has been taken in the construction of the
building to prevent the recurrence of such a conflagration,
and the two lower floors are divided from three upper by
brick arches with iron girders.
RAYMARRET THEATRE.—Mr. Webster re-appeared
on Saturday, after a long absence, occasioned by a serious
indisposition. Tartpjfe and the Serious l'amily were re-
vived for the occasion.

LON DON,

LITERATURE.

SIR JOHN FRANKLIN IN THE ARCTIC

REGIONS. By P. L. Simmonds.
Mr. Simmondi here gives us an account of the va-
rious expeditions to the Arctic Regions, "showing the
progress of British enterprise for the discovery of the
North-West passage during the 19:h century." All
the voyages of the courageous discoverers are re-
counted, together with those aubsequently undertaken,
for the assistance of Sir John Fraaklin. There is a
spirited poem at the commencement, originally ad-
dressed to Dr. Leichardt, which the author has
slightly altered, to suit the enterprising traveller,
who, in the words of the song—
" Scorning hope of selfish gain, dit daining soft repose,
Went forth to trace a pathway through unyielding ice
and snows."

CHEMISTRY OF THE CRYSTAL PALACE.
By Thomas Griffiths.
This is a scientific work, chiefly on metals. It is a
popular account of the chemical properties of the chief
materials employed in the construction of the Crystal
Palace. It is written by the late Professor of
Chemistry, in St. Bartholomew's Hospital ; and as
everything connected with the Great Exhibition is now
looked upon with interest, we doubt not that this
volume will be a favourite with many.
