POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

GREAT INCREASE OF BEGGING AT THE WEST -END.—This
morning several children were brought before Mr. Tyr-
whitt, charged by Longcroft and Cane, plain clothes con-
stables of the 0 division, with begging.
Mr. Tyrwhitt committed two girls, named
,Connor and
Clancey, who were begging under the pretence of selling
flowers, for seven days each. In another case Mr. Tyr-
whitt remanded a boy named Regan, with the view of as-
certaining whether there was a vacancy on board the ship
Cornwall ; and in a third case two boys, named Cain and
Lejure, were sent to the workhouse for a few days prior to
being sent to Peltha,m, Mr. Tyrwhitt remarking —" A new
wing must be built to the school at Fultham for the boys
who come to this court. lam suro we shall want it."
Several men and women, charged with bogging, were
committed fur different terms.

During the past few days a large number of beggars have
been brought to the court, and several boys sent to
Feltham.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday a meeting of the Common Council was
held at Guildhall for the despatch of business, and
there was an unusually large attendance of
members.

The LORD MAYOR, on assuming the chair, said
he desired to snake a communication, of which the
Court, no doubt, had in effect been made aware
through the public journals. lle referred to the
announcement which had been made to him by Lord
Derby, that her Majesty had been graciously pleased
to confer upon him the dignity of a baronet and
upon the two Sheriffs the honour of knighthood, in
consideration of the magnificent reception given by
the Corporation to his Imperial Majesty the S'Lltan,
and of the entertainment to his highness the
Viceroy of Egypt, at the Mansion-house. (Cheers.)
Ile need hardly say how gratifying such a dis-
tinguished mark of her Majesty's favour AN- •as to him-
s;lf on personal grounds, and bearing in mind also
that it placed the Corporation in its accustomed
position on occasions of such high national concern
and rejoicing as the entertainment by it of crowned
heads who were the honoured guests of the reign-
ing Sovereign. To himself it would always be a
matter for congratulation that he was associated
with the Corporation of London, because it was to
that circumstance that the honour ho had received
was attributable. That consideration would operate
as an additional stimulant to him to promote the in-
terests of the Corporation, and he could only hope
that his descendants on whom, after him, the dignity
would fall, would always remember the circum-
stances under which it was conferred. The prompt,
hearty, and graceful manner in which it had been
bestowed had greatly enhanced the compliment in
his estimation, as he had no doubt it would also in
that of the Common Council. (Cheers.)
The TOWN CLERK (Mr. Woodthorpe) read the
communication as follows :

"25, St. James-square, July 29.

"My dear Lord,—l am happy to say that I received from
the Queen last night her Majesty's sanction to my recom-
mendation that, the dignity of a baronet of the 'United
kingdom should be conferred upon your lordship, in com-
memoration of the visits of the two illustrious potentate;,
the Sultan and his powerful vassal, the Viceroy of Egypt,
whom your lordship has had the distinguished honour of
receiving, on behalf of the city, in a manner worthy in all
respects of this great metropolis.
" Her Majesty has beon further pleased to direct that
the honour of knighthood should be conferred upon the
two Sheriffs who have been associated with your lordship
upon the occasion.
" I have much pleasure in offering to you my congratu-
lations upon your well-merited honour, and have the
honour to be, my dear lord, " Yours faithfully,
"To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor." ~" DERBY.

•
(Cheers.)
Mr. Deputy OBBARD, as the senior member of the
Court, congratulated the Lord Mayor in their name
on the high honour which her Majesty had been
pleased to confer upon him, and which, he said, might
be regarded as a compliment paid through the city
of London to the country at large. (Hear, hear.)
On the motion of Mr. STAPLETON, chairman of
the City Lands Committee, seconded by Mr. T. S.
RICHARDS, chairman of the Bridge House Estates
Committee, the letter of the Premier was ordered
to be entered on the journals as a perpetual memo-
rial of the. occasion.

Alderman and Sheriff WATERLOW availed himself
of the opportunity to express the pride he felt at
the gracious proof of her M ljesty's favour he was
about to receive. lie was aware, at the same time,
that it was bestowed on him in consideration of his
official relationship to the Lord Mayor, and of his
connection with the Common Council, and it would
always afford an additional incentive to him to sup-
port on all occasions the prestige and dignity of the
Corporation. (Cheers.)
_ _

Mr. Sheriff LYCETT, for whom there were repeated
calls, also briefly expressed his sense of the high
honour which had been beitowed upon him.

BUNIIILL FIELDS.

The CITY SOLICITOR (Mr. Nelson) reported that
the Royal assent had been given to an act for the
preservation of Bunhill-fiQlds burial ground.
Mr. C. REED congratulated the Court on the
satisfactory settlement of this question, after so
protracted a struggle, remarking at the same time
it was cause for regret that the great body of the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners should have interposed
obstacles to its settlement. From 1864 to 1867 he
said the question hail been before ,the Corporation,
and it was only upon an appeal to the House of
Commons that the inviolability of the burial ground
had been settled on an imperial basis. He moved
that it be referred to a committee to carry the act
into execution.
The motion was adopted.
