POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

BOW-STREET.
Two young operators on broad-cloth, of priggish de-
portment, were charged by an active watchman with re-
fusing to " move on," and further, with " ridiculing the
morning service of the Established Church." By the de-
fendants' account, they were deciding a reckoning with
the keeper of an alamode-beef-house in Castle-street, and
the watchman interfered, or there would have been no dis-
turbance.--Mr. HALLS was of the same opinion, and the
gentlemen moved off.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
THE ROYAL SALOON.—To day being appointed for
the judgment on the information iaid by James Mace, an
officer of this establishment, Mr. Goodred was in attend-
ance, with Mr. Hanson, his solicitor.
Mr. DYER and Mr. Cotwqr were sitting, and the for-
mer announced, that after mature reflection on the in-
formation and the defence, he and his brother Magistrates
were of opinion that the offence came under the 35th
Geo. 111., but not under the 6th Geo. IV. as an offence
against the Excise. That Act i►nposed a penalty of 50/.,
and he must therefore inflict it.
Mr. Hanson submitted that a great number of very re-
spectable risen were in attendance to speak to the general
regularity of the place.
Mr. Goodred complained of the hardship in being se-
lected, as there were thirty houses in the same parish, who
sold with no other licence than the one he had.
Mr. DYER said, that be could not then hear evidence of
general conduct ; but if Mr. Goodred thought that his for-
mer argument would avail him, he would appeal *a the
Sessions. If any of the houses mentioned by Mr. Goodred
were informed against, he should make no distinction.
Mr. Hanson then gave notice of appeal to the next Quar-
ter Sessions for Westminster.
Several well-known respectable gentlemen were waiting
to speak to the regularity of the house.
DEATH OF LORD DOUGLAS.

Died at Bothwell Castle, Lanarkshire, on the 26th of
December, in the 80th year of his age, the Right Hon.
Archibald Lord Douglas of Douglas, Lord Lieutenant of
the county of Forfar, &c. His Lordship, who was born
the 10th July, 1748, succeeded to the estates of Douglas,
Forfar, &c., on the death of his uncle the Duke of Douglas,
in 1761. His Lordship married, in 1771, Lady Lucy
Graham, sister to his Grace the Duke of Montrose; and
he next married, in 1785, Lady Frances Scott, daughter of
the Duke of Buccleugh, and has left issue of both marriages.
After having represented the county of Forfar for a good
many years, he was, in 1790, created a British Peer.—
His Lordship has, through life, shown himself a sound
constitutional statesman, always avoiding those that were
given to cl!ange. In private life, Lord Douglas set an
example of rational piety, and virtuous conduct, every
way worthy of a good man. He resided mostly in
Scotland, and kept up an establishment suitable to his
rank and opulence, without embarrassing himself—dis-
playing true dignity and splendour, void of ostenta-
tion. To such of his tenants and servants as acted
with propriety, his Lordship was kind and indulgent;
but always turned off such as acted incorrectly. Lord
Douglas and his family seemed as if they vied with each
other in acts of charity and benevolence. Although his
Lordship had no interest in the parish of Hamilton, and
must have seen that another Loblernan had promised to
share his loaf with the poor of that parish, yet whenever a
case of distress there came to be known at Bothwell Castle, a
liberal donation, suited to the circumstances, was instantly
made—frequently handed in by one or other of his Lord-
ship's amiable daughters. The blessings of many, who
were ready to perish, have been showered with gratitude
on Lord Douglas and his family. His Lordship is succeed..
ed in his estates and honours by his eldest son, Archibald,
now Lord Douglas.—Caledonian Mercury.
