.fAN ABOMINABLE NUISANCE; IN A RESPECTABLE
NEIGHBOURHOOD. A gentleman waited upon Mr.
Paynter this morning, and entreated hie assistance
under the following circumstancse.
Applicant said he had to impl tre him to abate a hor-
rible nuisance, and not only did so on his own be-
half, but for the respectable neighbours by whom he was
surrounded. He was the proprietor of 113, Warwick-
street, Pimlico, and a short time ago let a suite of
apartments in his house to a woman of la.fy•like appear-
ance, who represented herself as an cflicer'w widow
Before she had been there mat,y days, he discovered
that she was a most violent person, addicted to habits
of intoxication, who, while la that state, continual),
rushed into the street screaming and shrieking, and col-
lected hundreds of people, who naturally felt tlat she
had sustained some gross illtreatment. Applicant's
servant had been so intimidated by her violence, that
she was afraid to approach her. •
Mr. Paynter —Take a peace summons agair.st. her.

The 2d Warwick Militia have received orders to
be embodied on the 14th of October. The regiment

is complete.
CRYSTAL PALACE.—The veteran trumpeter Distin gave
a farewell benefit at the Crystal Palace on Saturday,
when he was ably assisted by Medarne Clam Novelle),
Mr. Charles Braham, the younger Distine, and other
favourites—the sax horns certainly telling with greater
effect than the vocsliets. The number of visitors was
19,293, of whom 3,198 held season tickets. and therefore
were of no benefit to Mr. Distin. Notwithstanding the
attendance upon this occasion, we are convinced that
Saturday can never be properly made a people's day,
and, looking at the excellence of yesterday's programme,
we believe, had the benefit been on a Monday, sometbing
like double the number of persons would have been pry-
sent. In truth, though the Saturday half-holidarinay
give a little additional time to the City clerks, it cannot
affect the majority of the people—the respectable mecha-
nics, who do not receive their wages until the Saturday
evening ; nor the large class of shopkeepers and the r
assistaut4, who depend upon the custom of the working
classes, and whose returns on the Saturdays in very
many instances far exceed those of the whole of the rest
of the week.
GLASGOW HARBOI7II.—One of the heaviest and most
costly works ever undertaken by the Ciyde Trust is now
approaching completion—the new addition to the South
Quay wall. Tne length of the new wall is nearly one-
third of a mile, and when it is completed there will be a
stretch of quay wall westward from Glaegow-bridge of
2,028 rude, or fully 1i mile of quayage fur vessels on
the south side of the harbour. The section of the wall
is curvilinear iu front and vertical at back, is in thick-
ness seven feet at top and 16 feet at bottom, and contains
in all about 650,000 cubic feet of masonry and c oicrete,
or about 47,000 tons weight. Some of the stones
employed in the wall weigh fully three tons, and the
only dressing they receive is from the " pick." It is
intended to give a depth of 20 feet at low water, so that
the largest vessels when laden may lie afloat at all times
of the tide, as in the docks of London and Liverpool, and
in this respect it forms the most important addition that
has yet been made to the harbour. Its cost
is about
50,0001.—50/6:h Press.
