The Morning Chronicle, whether actuated by an
ambition of toadying the Times, and abstract ill-will to the
Moi:ning Herald, or a wish to puff off its friend Mr. Mazzini,
we cannot say ; but from one or other of these three motives,
which ever it was, the Morning Chronicle yesterday made a
most unjust and a perfectly unprovoked attack upon this
journal. The Morning Chronicle charged the Morning
Herald with having denounced the Times' scandalous con-
duct towards Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, solely as one mounte-
bank deprecates the drugs of another mountebank. The
writer of this insulting charge knew that he was writing a
falsehood when he wrote it—knew that the Morning
Herald never touched upon the disgraceful conduct
of the Times towards Sir. Talfourd until that dis-
graceful conduct had led to consequences directly
affecting the whole newspaper press in its interest, in
its character, and In its rank. Let not the Morning Chro-
nick palliate its own timid truckling to the Times for twelve
days, by charging our different conduct to an unworthy mo-
tive. As to Mr. Mazzini, against whom we or the
Standard, it is not clearly stnted which, is charged by the
Mot ning Chronicle to have " concocted some villainy," we
deny that we have ever made any unauthorised charge against
him, or withheld any testimony in his favour. Our own opi-
nion of the individual is unaltered by anything that we have
seen, and we will not tell lies even to disarm his resentment
or the anger of the Morning Chronicle. If the party, has been
wronged by us, let the wrong be shown, and we will repair it ;
if no wrong on our part can be shown, we are not going to
trump up a case for him.—Herald.
CAB STATISTICS.—According to a late return,
there are in the metropolis 130 cab-stands, and 8,592 cab-
men, conductors, and watermen, being an increase of 244
beyond those similarly engaged last year. It appears that
during the past two years a decided refmnalion has
taken place amongst those hardworking men, many of whom
are regular attendants at a place of worship on Sundays,
while others, from an anxiety to improve their mind, attend
a school opened especially for them. Some have even given
up driving cabs on Sundays, in order that they may keep
holy the Sabbath.
