BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)
A rrspectAbly-attired min, named Calligham, was
charged with creating a disturbance in the public streets,
and assaulting the police in the execution of their duty.
Police-constable F 61 stated that, between one and

two o'clock on Sunday morning, he was on duty in
Drury-lane, when he heard a noise in Short's•gardens,
and on going there he found a mob assemb'eJ, and the
prisoner knocking violently at No. 6. The landlord ef
the house rdased to let him in, and the prisoner then
deliberately put his fist through one of the panes of
glass in the window of the house. The constable now
thought it high time to put a atop to his proceedings,
and tried to induce him to go quietly away to the station.
Instead of doing so, however, he became very abusive,
kicking the officer in th© private part of his body several
times, and the upshot was that the officer had to pro-
cure assistance and forcibly remove him. At the
station the prisoner threatened to put a bullet through
the officer's head when he got out again.
Mr. HALL—What are you, prisoner? Prisoner—l
am a butcher. _ _

Mr. HALL—WeII, what have you to say to the charge?
Prisoner—Why, the policeman treated me bhamefully,
and the people in the house destroyed a suit of clothes
of mine worth 51.

Mr. HALL—But tbat would be no justification fcr
your breaking the glass or kicking the officer in this
brutal manner.

Prisoner—Well, I admit I was drunk and excited.
Mr. HALL—You are liable to be imprisoned for a
month, but, bo!ieving that you were not- sufficiently
conscious to know what you were doing when you as-
saulted the officer, I shall commit you for fourteen days
only. _

The prisoner was then removed.
A STIR IN THE NEWS 'CHANGE, CATHERINE-
STREET.—A respectably-attired man was charged In-
fore Mr. Henry under the following circumAlnces :
Police-constable F 109 deposed that he w a,s on his
feat in Catherine_-street on Saturday last, about five
o'clock in the aft?rnoon, when his progress was inter-
rupted by the mob of boys and men who congregate on
the right •hand side of the street, for the purpose of ex-
cl.auging the one with the other any newspapers they
may have left. The boys always go off the pavement
when they see him, but some of the adults refuse. On
Saturday afternoon the prisoner eas one of these, and
on the constable expostulating with him, he positively
refused to go off, when the ethers who ha I gone into
the road returned to the pavement, and seemed deter-
mined to remain there. The sergeant also spoke t) the
prisoner, but he resolutely refused to go off the pave-
ment. They were consequently obliged to take him into
custody. The general pedestrians were forced t.) walk
in the road, the pavement being quite blocked up by the
newsmen and boys.
Mr. HENRY said that it was an intolerable nuisance
both t) the inhabitants and those who had occasion to
pass through Catherine. street in the ufternoor.
The prisoner said he did not refuse to go off.
Mr. HENRY remarked that he' was astonished a man
of his age should be guilty of such conduct, as he must
know that the Act of Parliament forbad the congre-

gating together of mobs on the pavement, no matter for
what purpose; and that same Act allowed him to fine
any ore infringing it 40s. He added, that he felt very
willing to let the present case go unpunished; but he
ce.rtainly must have the promise of the prisoner never to
commit himself aAain.
The prisoner imtned'aely gave the required promise
and was discharged, amid the congetalationi of his
numerous friends, who crowded the court, aaxious
hear the judgment.

CORONER'S INQUEST (THIS DAY).—This forenoon,
at tin o'clock, a jury was impanelled before Mr. Bedford,
c rover for Westminster, at the Hanover Picture Gal-
lety, No. 33, George-street, Hanover-square, on view of
the body of Mr. Henry F. Artaria, the late proprietor,
who committed suicide by the fumes of charcoal. The
Coroner, with the jury, having seen the body and the
rcom in which the melancholy act was committed, re-
ceived the following evidence:—Mr. Angelo C. kiayter,
a relative of the deceased, No. 14, Berners-Areet, stated
that fifteen months ago deceased was attacked with a
brain fever. He has since been in a desponding state.
He was frequently in a distressed state of mind without
any real cause, as his business was not at all compli-
cated. Joseph Newman, servant to the deceived, said
that deceased had appeared strange for some time past.
About a month ago he directed witness not to go into
the room where the body was found. A fortnight after
he asked evilness for some paste. The room was used
to repair and varnish pictures, On Thursday last about
noon deceased, ou witness leaving, told him that he need
not come again at two o'clock, his (witness's) usual hour
of returning. Witness never saw deceased use paste be-
fore. The sky light, the openings in the door, and
every place where there was an opening was pasted.
There was a brazier in the room with some charcoal in
it. He found deceased on Friday morning. Mr. Chap-
pell, surgeon, Conduit-street, who was called in, said
that deceased was lying on his stomach with his hands
under him. Witness thinks he placed himself in that po-
sition. He had been dead six or seven hours. Verdict,
" Temporary insanity."
FRENCH CLAIMS.—Qn Saturday a Parliamentary
raper was printed, in pursuance to an order of the
House of Commons made at the close of the late session,
for a return of unsetqed demands on the funds provided
by the Government of France for liquidating the claims
of British sul jects, and d the remaining balance, &c. It
appears from the document that the Lords of the Trea-
sury, on the 13th of April, 1840, confirmed by their
minutes, dated the 23d of May, and the 25th of July,
1848, apportioned the whole of the balance of the fund
pro rata among the claimants and there no longer exists
a balance in hand. On the 25th of July, 1848, the
balance was 16,0671., which sum the Treasury requested
Dr. Phillimore to appui Lion for the pro rata payment of
the interest on claims admitted under their Lordships'
minute of the 15th of May, 1833, and adjudicated on for
the first time by the board of commissioners existing at
the date of the letter. The return was obtained by Mr.
enry Berlke4l9y. e. , and is nearly the last moved fur in the
session of 8

Lieutenant-General Sir W Gomm, K.C.B. (the
late Governor of tho Mauritius), arrived in London on
Saturday evening, accompanied by Lady Gomm and
sulte, from Southampton, where the gallant General,
fter a long abzence from his native country, disem-
barked on Saturday morning from the steamer from
Alt xandria.
