MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS.

The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER, and other Me.-nbers,
brought up the Sasino ( Scotland) Bill, and the Small'Debts
. (Scotland) Bill.
MUNICIPAL REFORM BILL.
Lord ELLENBOROUGEI read the resolutions agreed to
by the Committee of their Lordships appointed to confer
with the Commons on the amendments made by that House
to their Lordships' amendments to the Municipal Reform Bill.
After reading the various resolutions, the Noble Lord said,
the Committee had felt it their duty to add the following
sentence to the Report:—" The L'ords participate in the
anxiety manifested by the House of Commons to maintain
a good correspondence and understanding between the two
Houses, as of paramount importance to the public welfare ; the
Lords are deeply sensible of the spirit by which the Commons
have been actuated, and, in proof of their having been actuated by
the same spirit, they have abstained from insisting upon many
amendments which they thought necessary to the good working
of the great measure of Municipal Reform, and they entertain
a hope that, with the amendments made by both Houses, the
measure may produce peace and contentment throughout the
country, and good and quiet government in the towns."
Viscount MELBOURNE said he thought it his duty to
state, that having always opposed these amendments con.•
scientiously, he could not concur with the reasons by which
they were to be supported. He maintained the very same
opinions still, and he could not but repeat, that the insisting
upon these amendments would be attended with consequences
which all may regret.
On the motion of Lord ELLENBORO LIG H the Report
and Resolutions were ordered to be printed.—The House then
adjourned.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

AN AGREEABLE HoNEYMoON.—On Saturday an el-
derly man, named Patrick Mack, was.brought before the
LORD MAYOR, charged with having beaten his wife three
weeks after marriage.
Ellen Mack stated that she had for some years contrived
to support four children which she had had by a former
. husband, who died about three years ago. Her chief source
of maintenance was the half of a lodging-house, in which
she let beds to a couple of men, and also endeavoured to,
accommodate a female or two who might be in want of a
little sleep. The defendant had for some time inhabited
the back garret, and she took him for a very steady sensible
man, and when she gave, him to understand so much he
made the most of the information, and prevailed upon her
to change her condition once more. They were married ;
but the defendant at once began to play off the airs of a su-
perior, at the same time-that he sat down and swore that
he would never work while he had.one of the inferior
,spe-
cies to work for him. This was disagreeable enough, be-
sides another matter in which she experienced a heavy dis-
appointment, which she did not think proper to Mention ;
hut Mr. Mack suddenly became jealous of one of her lod-
gers, and because she laughed at such folly and discouraged
it, he struck her a blow under- her left eye that struck the
fire out of it, and she had, never .been fit to be seen since ;
besides which, he had sharPened a knife to cut her open, as
he said, more easily.—(X laugh.)
The LORD MAYOR—How could you, defendant, so
brutally violate, your honeymoon ? Mack said he was
ready to swear upon a thousand Bibles, that no man that
had'nt the temper of an angel could put up with such con-
duct as he. had been obliged to bear. It was no more than
the truth that he was a steady sensible man when he was
alone, and he would have: continued so if his -wife had had
common decency ; but -what could be expected froni a
woman who would leave her house with a Don Pedro
volunteer, they call Jack -I.3ubbs, and stay out drinking with
him till two o'clock in the morning ?
The LORD MAYOR—Is it true,, Mrs. Mack, that you
left your husband for a follower of Don Pedro ? Mrs.
Mack—l don't know what he had \to do with my acquaint-
ances. The poor man Carrie to pay me money that he
owed me, and I asked him to sit down, but Mr. Mack
"ultra: receive him as Err acquaintance, so I was obliged
to take him where pooplv Tyc,ren't so particular. I don't
see what Mr. Mack had to do with that,
Mack said that when his
.wife returned from her enter-
tainment nothing would satisfy her but she must pull all
the dot,hg pif his bed, and wrap herself up in them on the
floor. - He was asleep at tliP liMe, and she stripped him so
softly that he knew nothing about it till he awoke from
dreaming that he fell into a ditch. He felt about, but the
thee bed.

and when he stooped down his wife gave a sleepy groan,
and muttered, " Jack, jewel, hish't ! Paddy% hear you."—
(Great laughter.)
The Loan MAYOR—I must acknowledge that this Is
one of the most bitter honeymoons
.I ever heard of. I am
afraid, Mrs. Mack, you have been rather aggravating your
h.usk)an4.
Mrs. Mack—He's jealo;is mild fool, your Lordship ;
and, I
must say he's not the sett of perpn I wants. - -What
right has he to make himself busy with my'friencjs.9

Mrs. Mack—That's just what I want, you old foo..
