A NEW POLICE ORDER.—A circular order has
just been issued by Colonel Henderson, from the head-
quarters of tho police force in Scotland-yard, London, to
all the officers in charge of the different sections of police
divisions within the metropolitan district. It requires a
return to be made out and sent in to the receiver of all the
police stores, showing the estimated numbers of pairs of
boots, shoes, leggings, &c., likely to be required by the men
at each station during the next year, it being the intention
of the authorities to employ convict labour throughout
Great Britain in future in the manufacture of all the boots
and shoes required by the police force within the metro-
politan district.
The troopship Orontes, 2, Captain Henry Phelps,
left Plymouth Sound on Thursday evening for
North America.
The screw steamship Revenge, 73, Captain F.
A. Hume, went ou Thursday afternoon from
Hamoaze into Plymouth Sound, where she saluted
the flag of Port Admiral Sir 11. J. Coclrington,
K.C.B. She is bound to the Pacific station to
receive the crew of the Zealous, 20, flag of Admiral
A. Farquhar.
The non-commissioned officers and men com-
prising the 2d division, depot brigade, Royal Artil-
lery, at Woolwich, will shortly remove from their
present quarters in the Royal Artillery Barracks to
the handsome building lately used as the Royal
Marine Infirmary, a portion of which is now being
prepared for their occupation.
At this time, when the principles and practice of co-
operative societies engross so large a share of attention, it may
be well that Messrs. Parkins and G otto should remind the no-
bility and gentry that they have tor the last twenty years adopted
the practice of buying the best goods in large quantities direct
from the manufacturers, marking every article in plain figures,
and retailing them at the smallest possible profit for ready
money; and where, from distance or other causes, cash pay-
ments have been impossible, they have never increased the price
of the articles delivered. They respectfully solicit an inspection
of their stock, consisting of portrait albums, writing-eases, dres-
sing-cases, dressing-bags, despatch boxesl envelope-eases and
blotting-books, inkstands, desks, stationery cabinets, ornamental
goods, purses, pocket books, cigar-cases, reticules, opera-glasses,
scent-cases, smelling-bottles, electro-gilt and elegantly-mounted
articles—in fact, an endless variety of articles to suit every taste,
purpose, and pck.et.—Parkine and (lotto, 24 and 25, Oxfsird-
, *trot, W.
