THE STREET NOMENCLATURE OF LONDON.

Those unacquainted with it would hardly believe that
there are as many as 50 King-streets in London, nearly as
many Queen-streets, above 60 George-streets, 60 William-
streets, and about 45 "New"-streets. This last name often,
as may bo supposed, greatly misleads strangers, who ima-
gine that such streets aro only of recent construction.
Until the modern conversion of the "New-road" into City-
road, Euston-road, andlll,trylebone-road, there were along
its entire length places and terraces with every conceiv-
able name, and as many as between 50 and 60 different
enumerations of numbers. Nor must it be considered that
recently-constructed London is exempt from blemishes of
this nature. The word " Westbourne" appears no loss
than 19 times in the Postal Guide—there are Westbourne-
crescent, Westbourne-grove (the Regent-street of West-
burnia), and then not only Wesnourne Park, but West-
bourne Park-cottages, Westbourno Park-crescent, West-
bourne Park-place, Westbourno Park-road, Westbourne
Park-road West, Westbourne Park-terrace, Westbourne
Park-villas, Westbourno-place (Bishop's-road), West-
bourne-square, Westbourn3-street (Paddington), West-
bourne-terrace (Bayswater), VVestbourne-terrac.(Bishop's-
road), and Upper Westbourne-terrace —so far for the
northern side of Hyde Park; but on the southern there
are —Westbourno-street, Pimlico (to distinguish it from
Westbourne-street (Paddington), and Westbourne-place,
Eaton-square. Finally, the list winds up with Westbourne-
road, Holloway.

Not so numerous in its locations, but equally puzzling
and unsatisfactory, is "Kensington." Besides that name,
there are—Kensington-crescent, Kensington-road, Ken-
sington-gate, Kensington-gore, High-street, Kensington ;
Kensington-hall, North-end, Fulham, and Kensington-
square on tho south side of Hyde Park. Kensington Pa-
lace and Kensington Palace-gardens aro situate between
Kensington and Bayswater, Kensington Gardens-square is
in Paddington, Kensington Gardens-terrace is in Bays-
water-road, Kensington Park-gardens and Kensington
Park-terrace are nt Notting-hill.
It is noedles to dwell upon the inconvenience and
trouble to which such nomenclature gives rise. Sir John
Thwaites, Mr. Tite, Mr. P. Ayrton, M.P., and others,
your colleagues f the Metropolitan Board of Works, to
the rescue! —honey's " Rambles on Railways."

REMARKABLE DREAM.—Last week Williatit
Stringfellow, about 22 years of age, residing at Sutton-in-
A Afield, left home under rather mysterious circumstances.
Ills friends sought him, but without success. On Friday
night Samuel Burton, a blacksmith, dreamed that String-
fellow had drowned himself in the Caudwell water, some
two miles distant front Sutton, and that ho (Burton), while
standing on the left-hand side of the shuttle, had succeeded
in dragging him out by the back part of his boot. On Satur-
day Barton told several of his neighbours of his dream, and
they proceeded to the spot to drag for Stringfellow. The
second time the drag was thrown into the water the body
of Stringfellow was brought to the top, exactly in the posi-
tion described by Arton—by the back of the boot and
stocking. It is supposed.that disappointment in love was the
OUP) of the &mod committing suicide,--Leeds Mrcury.

ANOTHER POLICEMAN SIIO7. LAST

NIGHT.

All kinds of wild stories aro current in the neigh-
bourhood with respect to the affair, the outrage
being, of course, attributed to Fenianism.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

Yesterday the 4th Dragoon Guards at Aldershot,
under the command of Col. Shute, forined up in the
Long Valley at half-past 10 o'clock for inspection
by Lieut.-Gen. the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scarlett,
K.C.8., commanding the division. The regiment
receivel the General with the usual salute ; he then
inspected the line, after which the regiment marched
past by wings, trotted past by sections—the rear
squadron galloping past and cutting pursuing prac.
tice—then trotted past by squadrons, and galloped
past, left in front, by wings. The regiment
then wheeled into lino, changed front to the left
on the second squadron, and charged up to the
markers ; then retired by fours from the left of squad-
rons on the move, the rear rank leading ; reformed
column, fronted, and performed the sword exercise
and pursuing practice at the gallop. In retiring
they again reformed on the move, the rear rank
leading, advanced at a trot, changed position by
wings, then advanced in column' of troops from
the left. The right wing, having wheeled into line
advanced at a trot; the left wing on the move
formed line on the right wing, retired in column of
troops from the left of wings, formed line on the
rear troop, and retired in column of troops from the
left of wings. The right wing attacked and retired;
the left wing attacked and threw out skirmishers ;

the skirmishers ceased firing, and pursued ; they
were then recalled and the line attacked. This
ended the manoeuvres, and the regiment advanced
in parade order and gave the usual salute. The men
were then formed into three sides of a square, and
were addressed by the Lieut.-General, who said he
had never seen any regiment perform the ma-
noeuvres with greater celerity and precision. lie
alSo said it gave him great pleasure to compliment
the regiment in the presence of Gen. Hodge, under
whom it had served with such distinction in the
Crimea. The regiment then returned to barracks.
The inspection derived unusual importance from
the fact of demonstrating that cavalry can be
worked with an amount of celerity and precision
calculated to counteract in a great measure the new
weapons of war just introduced.
The divisional field-days by the troops at
Chatham having terminated for the season, an order
was yesterday issued by Major-Gen. F. Murray di-
recting the wholeof the officers and men of the divi-
sion to be exercised in route marching on periodical
days daring the winter months until further orders.
The section of B troop of the Royal Engineer
Train at Aldershott, under o: tiers to proceed to
Chatham, will march from camp on the sth instant.,
and proceed, according to the ronto which will be
indicated, to its destination. The A troop, by
which it will be replaced at Aldershott, is expected
to arrive at that station as follows :—One, officer,
31 men, 21 women, and 24 children, by rail, on the
sth inst. ; 3 officers, IG3 mon, and 137 horses, by
march, on the Bth inst.

Lieut. T. Fraser, who has been appointed assist-
ant instructor in field fortifications at the Royal
Engineer establishment, Chatham, joined at head-
quarters yesterday, and took up his appointment.
Her Majesty's Indian troopship Jumna arrived
at Suez on the evening of the 30th of October.

The troops which she brought from Calcutta will be
embarked on board the Crocodile at Alexandria,
and may be expected at Portsmouth on or about

the 14th of November.
The 23d Regiment of Infantry (Royal Welsh
nisiEre) disembarked yesterday afternopn, accord-
ing to the official arrange►nents, from her Majesty's

screw troopship Himalaya, alongside Portsmouth
dockyard, undersuperintendence of the Staff officers

of Lieut.-Gen. Sir G. Buller, K.C.8., the Lieut.
Governor of Portsmouth and Military Commander

n-Chief of the South-west District.

The head•

quarters of the regiment, accompanied by the mag-
nificent goat presented to the regiment some years
since by her Majesty, left the dockyard by a special
train at 6 p.m. for Newport and Cardiff. Four

companies left the dockyard at 5 p.m., by a spe-
cial train for Brecon. The invalided soldiers
brought home with the 23d in the Himalaya

were transferred yesterday morning by the Flo-
rence Nightingale, hospital transport launch, to
the Royal Victoria Military Hospital at Netloy.
The time-expired soldiers were forwarded by
steamboat and rail to the depots of their respective
regiments.

THE REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH LEICESTER-
SHIRE.—The Liberals in the South Leicestershire division
are already taking active measures to secure the return of
Mr. T. Paget to Parliament, in the place of the late Mr.
C. W. Packo. A most numerously signed requisition is
being got up from all parts of the division for presentation
to Mr. Paget. On the other hand the Conservatives are
not idle. A day or two ago, Mr. W. V. Heygate,
for the borough, now of Ulverscroft, was solicited to con-
test the vacant seat, but he has just declined the invita-

tion. The name of Viscount Ingestre has also been men-
tioned, but the " coming man" is looked for in. Dir. Albert
Peel, chairman of the Central Chambor 'of Agriculture.
The register is said never to have beau in such au evenly
balanced state as at the present time%

Last night another of those outrages, which are
now becoming most serious, occurred in the neigh-
bourhood of llornsey. It appears that at forty
minutes past nine o'clock Police-constable O'Brien,
belonging to the mounted division, was proceeding
along an obscure portion of his beat, which is
known in the locality of Ilornsey as Tantidown-
lane, when his attention was attracted to two men.
who w,‘r I;: a &id off the mein path.
Having secured his horse the pollee-constable pro-
ceeded toward 3 the two men, and from certain sus-
picious appearances the constable desired to examine
the contents of a small parcel in the possession of
one of the men. The request of the officer was met
by a refusal, and a quarrel ensued, when one of the
ruffians drew a pistol front his pocket and presented
it at the can3table's breast. O'Brien at once warded
off the weapon with hi; hand, when the man ia-
tantly Rifled the trigger and the charge took effect
in the constable's hand and arm. The shock of the
wound rendered the constable insensible for some
time, during which both men effected their escape.
Surgical aid was obtained for the wounded man
as early as possible, but the wound is so severe that
should the unfortunate man recover from the shock
he has received, he will be maimed for life.
