DISORDERLY GENTLEMEN AND THE POLICE.—Mr.
James Dickson, gentleman, of 32, York-street,
Portman-square, and Mr. George Marsden, describ-
ing himself as a clerk, of 22 St. George's-road, Pim-
lico, were charged before Mr. Mansfield with being
drunk and behaving in a disorderly manner in or
near Regent-street.
Roliert

Sunday Freneh,
said that about two
o'clock
he saw the prisoners,
morning
13 C
who were drunk, walking with three other gentle-
men, all arm-in-arm, down Lower Regent-street,
and pushing persons about. After going a short
distance the two prisoners commenced fighting with
canes, and he then got between them and separated
them and endeavoured to get them away, but as he
could not do so, and there was a great disturbance,
he with assistance took them to the station.

Mr. Mansfield asked whether any one complained
of the prisoners, and the constable answered in the
negative.
Dickson denied being drunk.

Marsden said he would plead guilty to a part of
the charge against him, but with extenuating cir-
cumstances. He knew nothing of the gentleman
Car with him, and Langly had
with him, and on putting out his
wanhoalwtearscaatitonthe
cane to defend himself fell down.

Police-constable John Morton, 62 C, proved
seeing the prisoners, whu were drunk, fighting with
canes.

Mr. Mansfield ordered them to enter into their
own recognizances in the sum of £2O each to be of
good behaviour.
Mr. Willham Ellis, or Charles Falkner -.both
names being given—of No. 26, Norfolk-street,
Strand, was charged with being drunk and disor-
derly in Leicester-place.
Police-constable Johnston, 163 C, said that at an
early hour that morning he saw the prisoner kick-
ing at the door of a house in Leicester-place, and
as he refused to go away and struck him across the
hat he took him into custody.
In answer to Mr. Mansfield, the constable said
the prisoner was very drunk at the time.
The prisoner said he bad been drinking with a
friend who was about
joining his regiment, and
took too much.

Mr. Mansfield fined the prisoner forty shillings
or a month.

Mr. Allen Deveres, solicitor, of No. 4, Essex-
court, Temple, and Mr. Joseph Brown, same ad-
dress, were charged with being drunkand disorderly
in the Haymarket.
Edward Timberlake, 186 K, said that about two
o'clock that morning he saw the defendants, who
were both drunk, and arm in arm in the Haymarket,
amusing themselves by calling cabs off the stand,
and singing, at the top of their voices, " Up in a
balloon, boys." He requested them to go away,
when one of them said they must have all the cabs
there if they thought proper. As I)everes was very
disorderly he took him into custody, and Brown
then flourished his stick about his head, saying,
" Leave my friend alone," and one of the prisoner's
other friends offered him £5 to let Deveres go, and
Brown was then taken into custody.
I)everes said be had had a little to drink, and
that if the constable had shown a little forbearance
be would have gone away.

Brown demieci attempting to rescue Deveres.
Mr. Mansfield imposed a fine of 10s. each or 7

THE PUBLIC ENTRY INTO DUBLIN Or
THE LORD-LIEUTENANT.

Dublin correspondents give accounts of the entry 0
Earl Spencer into Dublin as Lord-Lieutenant. The Ulster,
the steamer by which their Excellencies were sonveyed
across the Channel, came alongside the Carlisle Pier at nine
o'clock onSaturday,under the usual salute from her Majesty's
ship the Royal George, which, together with the other
vessels in the harbour, had its gayest bunting displayed
for the occasion. On the platform, abreast of the steamer,
a guard of honour of the 3rd battalion Grenadier
Guards was formed in line ; and here also were
assembled a number of distinguished personages, who
were, after some time, brought on board, and presented to
his Excellency by the comptroller of the household and
the gentleman usher. At half-past eleven the Earl and
Countess Spencer, Lord and Lady Bruce, with their com-
pany, debarked, and proceeded to the train in waiting,
the battery on the east pier of the harbour booming a royal
salute, while the band of the guard of honour played the
National Anthem, and immediately afterwards "St.
Patrick's Day," and the Royal George and the
gunboats in the harbour manned their yards. The
Viceregal party arrived at the Westland-row ter-
minus, Dublin, at about twelve o'clock. The
station was decorated for the occasion, the path along
which the Lord-Lieutenant was to proceed being
carpeted, and a canopy being erected outside the door
through which he was to pass. His Excellency on
arriving was received by the Lord Mayor, several alder-
men and town councillors, the city sarshal, the mace
bearer, and other civic dignitaries, all wearing their robes
of office. In accordance with an ancient custom the
mace and the sword of the city were laid at his Excel-
lency's feet, and the keys delivered into his hands. The
Lord Mayor was then presented by the gentleman
usher, and bade the Lord-Lieutenant welcome in
the name of the inhabitants of the city of which he
was the chief magistrate, 'and expressed a hope
that during his Excellency's viceroyalty he might
be the medium of giving to the people of Ireland peace,
happiness, and prosperity. The Lord-Lieutenant, in reply,
returned his thanks, and gave back the mace, sword, and
keys of the city, " being assured that their keeping could
be entrusted to no worthier hands " than those of the
Lord Mayor. Their Excellencies then proceeded to the
street, and on making their appearance the military bands
truck up " St. Patrick's Day," and the crowds in
front of the station cheered with some warmth.
Westland - row, as well as the other parts of
the city through which the procession passed,
was considerably crowded, many of the shops
displayed colours, and most of the windows were crowded
with ladies who were by no means chary of their expres-
sions of welcome. Troops of cavalry, in all the splendour
of brazen helmets and nodding plumes, lined the streets,
and kept clear a large space through which the procession
had to pass. Considering that the streets which the pro-
cession proceeded through were but few in number, they
cannot be said to have been much crowded. This is a
fact not hard to be accounted for, as it is scarcely possible
to imagine a morning more unfit and inauspicious. The
rain fell without intermission, and the streets were in
a hopeless state of; mud. Towards noon, however, the
hour at which the procession started, there came a brief
interval of sunshine. But this boon came too late to
induce those whom the gloomy morning had terrified into
stopping in doors to attend the procession, and the cere-
monial was, consequently, not witnessed by as large a
number as one might have expected. The depress.
ing influence of the weather may also be assumed
to have been to some extent the cause of the
lack of that warmth which generally characterises
Irishmen on such occasions ; for though their Ex-
cellencies were everywhere received respectfully, en-
thusiasm was almost altogether absent. After their
Excellencies had issued from the station a procession was
formed. The town-major, Lieutenant-Colonel Gordon,
on horseback, led the way, and was immediately followed
by an advance guard of the 14th Hussars. To them
succeeded the high sheriff of the city, Mr. Edward
Hudson Kinahan, with the 'sub-sheriff, in their
carriage of state. The next portion of the procession
was formed by the members of the corporation.
Immediately after the Lord Mayor's carriage came the
Lord-Lieutenant on horseback. By his side rode Lord
Strathnairn, the general commanding the forces in
Ireland, and Major-General Cunyngbame, the commander
of the Dublin division, both accompanied by their staffs.
In the carriage that immediately followed sat the Countess
Spencer, who gracefully and with praiseworthy assiduity
returned the salutes by which she was on all sides
greeted. In the same carriage were Lady Charles Bruce,
the Right Hon. Chichester Fortescue, and the aide-de-
camp, Mr. Frederick Campbell. The two following
carriages contained the remaining members of the vice-
regal household, and the procession closed with a guard
of cavalry of the 14th Hussars. At twenty minutes
to one o'clock the Upper Castle Yard was
reached by the procession, and his Excellency having
alighted at the principal entrance, was received by Sir
Bernard Burke and the officers of the household, and by
them conducted to the presence chamber. There the
following high officials and leading personages were along
with several others, presented:—The Archbishop of
Dublin, the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Leinster, the
Marquis of Kildare, the Earl of Charlemont, Vis-
count Monck, Lord and Lady Clermont, the Illgnt.
Hon. Chichester Fortescue and the Countess NS' aide-
grave, General Lord Strathnairn, G. C. 8., G. C. S. I. ,
Lord and Lady Charles Bruce, the Lord Chief Justice of
the Common Pleas, the Attorney-General, the Solicitor-
General, the Right Hon. Mr. Justice Lawson, the Right
Hon. Sir Colman O'Loghlen, the Hon. Thomas Preston,
Sir George L'Estrange, Sir Bernard Burke, Hon. Colonel
Curzon Smythe, C. 8., the Dean of Derry, Dean of the
Chapel Royal, the Dean of St. Patrick's, the Sub-Dean of
the Chapel Royal, Commissioner John O'Ferrall, Mr.
John Lentaigne, D.L., Dr. Nugent, Dr. Hatchell, DR
Stannus Hughes, Mr. Calvert Stronge ; Mr. James Nagle,
Clerk of the Crown ; and Mr. Ernest Villiers, aide-de-
camp.

Mr. Jefferson Davis is reported to be suffering
from heart disease, and a paper states that he is under the
constant care of Dr. Smith, an eminent Paris practi-
tioner.

We learn with much regret that the Baron Van
de Weyer, formerly the Belgian Ambassador at the Court
of St. James's, is lying seriously ill at his residence, New
Lodge, Windsor Forest—so seriously as to occasion the
gravest apprehensions.—Telegraph.

The Railway News announces that the proposed
new Brighton railway which promised to be the cause celebre
of the coming session has come to grief at the trying ordeal
of tho railway department. There was a quarrel at the
board, and so the matter is at all events postponed.
The supporters of Mr. Handel Corsham at Dews-
bury have determined to pay his election expenses, amount-
ing to £1,058. We understand that Sergeant Simon's
expenses were over .£7,000, and that ho polled only 3,398
votes to Mr. Cosaham's 2,929. The money is said to have
been found by Mr. Miser, the clothier, a near relative of Mr.
Simon's. It is at the request of both parties that a petition
has not been presented against the return of the sitting
member, it being feared that a trial would lead to the dis-
franchisement of this new borough.

If an intelligent foreigner, such as M. Alfred
Assolant, or some other Anglophobist, were to take a walk
round the new Smithfield Market and stop at the south-
eastern corner thereof, he would make a discovery which
would fill him with joy at the thought of having found a
new proof of the ignorance of the islanders. He would
see on the spot above-named the corner-stone of the great
building, with an inscription telling us that it was laid
during the " Mayorality of Sir Thomas Gabriel, Bart."

nation " Coles's Truss ?"

A NEw SHELL.—Experiments will take place
at Shoeburyness, by order of the War Department, on
Thursday next, the 21st inst., to establish the properties
of the new shell invented by Mr. Fitzmaurice Palmer,
who claims to have discovered an explosive projectile
surpassing for field operations any hitherto employed.
The experiments will be conducted by a competent staff
of Artillery officers, and many military and naval gentle.
men, some of whom entertain a high estimate of the new
invention, are likely to be present, as well as several repre-
sentatives of foreign Governments, who will watch the
result with the greatest interest.
THE DANGER OF RAILWAY WHISTLES.—On Fri-
day Mr. Bedford held an inquest at Westminster Hospital
on the body of Moses Goddard, aged 40 years. The de-
ceased, it appeared, was a carman. On last Wednesday
morning he was driving a horse and cart along the
York-road, Lambeth, when in passing under the railway
arch of the South Eastern Railway the horse took fright
from the noise of the whistle from an engine and darted off
at a furious pace. The- deceased was thrown off the
vehicle and under the wheels of the cart, which passed
over his neck and killed him on the spot. The jury re-
turned a verdict of accidental death.

KEEPING CHRISTMAS IN KENTUCKY.—We learn
from a gentleman who has arrived here from Sharpsburg,
in this State, that on Christmas eve two young men,
Richard Taylor and Joshua Sharp, son of Dr. W. Sharp,
got into difficulty in a bar-room shortly before midnight,
and when they went out continued the quarrel, one on each
side of the street. The young men fired at each other, but
one missed, and the cap of the other's pistol snapped. Both
fired a second time simultaneously, and both dropped dead,
one shot through the head and the other through the heart.
