ILLNESS OF M. T. SADLER, ESQ.—We regret to
learn that that eminent philanthropist, N. T. Sadler, Esq.,
is at present very seriously indisposed at Belfast in Ireland.
His recovery was for some days despaired of, but according to
the latest accounts he is somewhat better. We understand
that his illness arises from an affection of the heart.--Leeds

STATE Ok' CRIME IN LONDON.—By the cri-
minal returns showing the number of persons taken into cus-
tody by the metropolitan police, and the result of the charges,
in 1834, •which have been recently printed, it appears that
64,269 persons were taken into custody, of ivhora 34,499 were
discharged by the Magistrates, -26,302 were summarily con-
victed or held to bail, 3,468 were committed for trial, 2,565
were convicted and sentenced, 351 acquitted, 329 not prose-
cuted (bills not found), and 23 whose cases have not been
ascertained. The criminal charge under which the greatest
number appears is that of uttering counterfeit c0in,929 having
been taken into custody under that charge, of whom, however,
819 were discharged by the Magistrates, and 98 convicted and
sentenced. The charges of murder have been 26, but only 11
prosecutions upon them have been instituted, and nine con-
victions obtained, of which last eight were declared man.
slaughter, so that only one execution followed. Not less than
19,779 have been taken into custody fo: drunkenness, of whom
10,944 obtained their discharge without tine, and 8,835 sum-
marily convicted. A comparative statement of these rsturas
with those published the three previous years shows that from
1831 to the end of 1834, there is a decrease in the number of
persons taken into custody of 8555, an increase during the
corresponding period of .513 of committals for trial, and of
1,459 convictions by ,lagistratcs. The comparative state-
ments of the intermediate years, following one another, do
not exhibit any very remarkable cliff.:renee, the increase in ono
year of some cases beingscouutcrbalanced by a decrease in the
next.-21forniny Paper.
