CLEANLINESS.—Among the good signs of the times,
he means now being taken for the promotion of habits
of cleanliness, are not the least gratifying. The follow-
ing remarks upon the subject by Addison, will be read
with interest :—" Cleanliness may be defined to be the
emblem of purity of mind, and may be recommended
under the three following heads : as it is a mark of
politeness, as it produces affection, and as it bears
analogy to chastity of sentiment. First, it is a mark of
politeness, for it is universally agreed upon that no one
unadorned with this virtue can go into company without
giving a manifold offence. The different nations of the
world ate as much distinguished by their cleanliness as
by their arts and sciences ; the more they are advanced
in civilisation, the more they consult this part of polite-
ness. Secondly, cleanliness may be said to be the foster-
mother of affection. Beauty commonly produces love,
cleanliness preserves it. Age, itself, is not unamiable
while it is preserved clean and unsullied ; like a piece of
metal constantly kept smooth and bright, we look on it
with more pleasure than on a new vessel cankered with
rust. I might further observe, that as cleanliness
renders us agreeable to others, it makes us easy to our-
selves ; that it is an excellent preservative to health, and
that several vices both of mind and body are inconsistent
with the habit of it. In the third place, it bears a great
analogy 'with chastity of sentiment, and naturally in-
spires refined feelings and passions. We find from ex-
perience that through the prevalence of custom the most
vicious actions los: their horror by being made familiar
to us, while on the co,:trarY' those who live in the neigh-
bourhood of good exatnp:es fly from the first appearance
thus pure and unsullied
of what is shocking ; an
to the mind by these
thoughts are naturally suggeste,l '
us when they are
o'ljects that perpetually eneompas.
beautiful and elegant in their kind."

We are sorry to say that the contractors find it cht.

(THIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE, and a full Bench of
Magistrates.)
The Second November Sessions commenced this
morning, at the Court-house, Clerken well. The
calendar contains the names of fifty-nine prisoners,
although not a fortnight has elapsed since the Court
sat last. Many of the cases were of the most paltry
and trifling nature. One prisoner was committed for
stealing three herrings, another for stealing 3lbs. of
potatoes, and a third for stealing a quarter of a pound
of soap.
The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE briefly addressed
the Grand Jury, and commented upon the recent im-
provement which bad been effected in the criminal
law, by which the business of the Old Bailey was so
much expedited. The calendar did not present any
unusual features which rendered it necessary for him
to advert more particularly to them, as although the
calendar was numerically heavy, there were compa-
ratively no serious cases for trial.
THREATENING A POLICE MAGISTRATE.—Mr.
CLARKSON, on behalf of Mr. Rawlinson, the presiding
magistrate of the Marylebone Police-court, applied to
the Bench to have Robert Kingston bound over to
keep the peace towards that gentleman under the
following circumstances :—The Learned Counsel
stated that Kingston was brought before Mr. Raw-
linson on three separate charges of assault, for each
of which he was fined in the penalty of 40s. Having
paid those three fines, he was liberated, but on the
same evening was again apprehended for a riot and
disturbance, and in the morning again brought before
the worthy Magistrate, by whom he was fined 51.,
and ordered to find sureties to keep the peace. In a
day or two after this he called at the Marylebone
Police-court with a heavy whip in his hand, and fol-
lowed by a ferocious bull dog, demanding that the
inspector on duty should point out Mr. Rawlinson to
him, as he (Kingston) was determined to give him a
sound drubbing. He (Mr. Clarkson) trusted, under
all the circumstances of the case, the Court would feel
bound to order the ordinary process of the Court
to issue.

The ASSISTANT-JUDGE inquired if Mr. Kingston
was in custody at present ?
Mr. CLARKSON said he believed he was in Court
now. One of his sureties had refused to remain an-
swerable for him any longer. lie was not, therefore,
under sureties now, neither did Inspector Tedman
consider himself at liberty to take him into custody.
The Learned ASSISTANT JUDGE said if he had
surrendered he was in custody of the Court. lie (the
Assistant-Judge) should therefore take care that
Kingston should not leave the Court without enter-
ing into proper sureties, which would effectually pre-
vent injury being inflicted by him upon any person.
Mr. Kingston then sat down before the bar in cus-
tody of one of the officers of the Court.
The prisoner is a remarkable powerful-looking man,
and is well known on the turf, and in the ring, having
challenged Ben Ceuta, who is well known as champion
of England, to a pugilistic encounter.
