The late KING was very partial to Eton Col-
lege. He used often to write to the bead master to obtain
a half-holiday for the boys, and invariably recommended
to the Noblemen about Court to send their sons to be edu-
cated there. His AlkirsTY sped to relate the following
characteristic anecdote :—" Some years past I saw two of
the urchins shooting in my preserve ; both shirked in a
ditch; I caught them, and took away their guns; didn't
know me : took me for a keeper, and offered me a half-
crown to let them off, and said they would tell the KING,
who, they were sure, would not mind their killing a hare.
Frightened them out of their wits when I said who I was,
and that I should complain to the Doctor (their master) ;
instead of which I sent a few pheasants and a hare, upon
their promising not to poach again; and they kept their
word. Both Peers—both Peers now, and two of the
strictest game-preservers in England," continued the KING,
laughing; "a proof of the saying that an old poacher
makes the best gamekeeper, eh lVindsor Herald.

Saturday was Election Saturday, when the
seven young gentlemen of Eton College were put in no-
mination for King's College, Cambridge. In the after-
noon, at two o'clock, according to the annual custom, the
Provost of King's College (Dr. Liao!canal') and the
Posers (Mr. COLERIDGE and Mr. COOKESLEY) arrived at
the College, and were met by the Provost and Fellows of
Eton, when the Captain of the School, Mr. BaowN, de-

livered a Latin address, after which the election trials were
gone through, and the usual removes made. In the even-
ing, Dr. GOODALL, Provost of Eton, entertained the Pro-
vost of King's, and the Posers, with the Masters and Fel-
lows of Eton, at dinner.

Divine service was performed at the Chapel
Royal, St. James's Palace, on Sunday, for the last time
previous to its undergoing a thorough repair. This chapel,
which is interesting to the antiquarian, as being the first
public place of worship in which the present church
liturgy was performed in this kingdom, has long been in a
very dilapidated state. The order fur its renovation has
been issued hy the Board of Works, it is said, at the in-
stance of the Bishop of LONDON, who is ex officio dean
of all his MAJESTY'S chapels royal. We hope the hand-
some painted ceiling, charged in its varied compartments
with the portcullis and other devices and ciphers of the
BEAU PORTS and TUDORS, Will be preserved.

The author of the Subaltern has produced his
long promised work " Ties CHELSEA PENSIONERS."
The stories, as may have been expected, are all military,
including narratives connected with the American War,
with the battle of nada, and with the campaigns in Por-
tugal and Spain. In this fine series of warlike tales, it is
not a small merit, that the author should have brought the
interest home to all readers, by his vivid sketches of actual
and living-personages, and by the domestic feelings which
he has combined with his military recitals. A well known
English Lady of birth, acts an important part in the Legend
of Saratoga, a true and prominent story in the volumes.

The accomplished authoress of the Diary of
an Ennuy6e has just published two volumes, entitled The
Loves of the Poets, the chief object of which is to com-
memorate the influence which beauty and virtue have ex-
ercised over poetry. As a book of memoirs, there is,
perhaps, more in it of original anecdote than in any other
biographical work extant. The research of the fair writer
is no lees conspicuous than her refined taste.
GANIE.—On our neighbouring moors the
grouse are numerous, and strong on the wing. Partridges
in this district are plentiful, but small. The hatches have
been unsually late; several nests in the upper part of Sut-
ton, near this town, only discharged their feathered tribes,
consisting of twelve to fifteen birds, in the course of the
present week. About three miles from us a covey of par-
tridges has been batched containing the astonishing number
of twenty three birds,—Atacciesiidd Courier.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE,

Mr. Debatt, the confectioner in the Poultry, was
charged by Mr. Neal and other persons in the police
with having committed an assault.
It was stated that at a late hour at night several
women of the town were making a noise in the Old
Jewry, and that Mr. Debatt's curiosity induced him
to give them encouragement, by standing and look-
ing on. The watchman in vain called out to the
crowd to " move on." Nobody stirred. Mr. De-
batt was particularly requested to make the neces-
sary movement ; but he refused in an imperious
manner, and soon began to move his hands, first
making a blow at the watchman, and then at Neal,
who, observing that the watchman was properly
doing his duty, begged that Mr. Debatt would show
the good example, and move off. The officer, find-
ing his expostulations so harshly received, considered
it his duty to resist. A struggle ensued, in which
Mr. Debatt proved to be the weaker party, and was
first sopped in the mud, and then taken to the
watch-house.

The LORD MAYoft expressed much regret at see,

ing so near a neighbour in so unfortunate a dilemma,
and asked whether Mr. Debatt was at all in liquor.
It was replied, that he certainly carried about him
symptoms of " tossication in liquor."
Mr. Debatt said, that the account given by the
police was almost in every respect egregiously false.
The LORD MAYOR said Mr. Debatt ought to have
gone on and not obstructed the way, and his con-
duct was calculated to encourage a breach of the

peace.
The officer declared that Mr. Debatt had not o►►ly
assaulted them, but that he had struck two of the

women.
Mr. Debatt most solemnly asserted this to be
false, and he accused the deponent with having bitten
his thumb.

The LORD MAYOR held the defendant to bail, and
the defendant declared that he would bring an action
against the officer Neal.
Thomas Berner, a sturdy-looking sailor, was
charged with having been found in bed on the second
floor of a public house in Petticoat-lane, without the
privity, knowledge, or consent of the landlord thereof.
The landlord stated that, just before bed time, he
was going up stars and accidentally popped into this
bed room, and who should he find there but the
jolly sailor, " as comfortably as possible."
The LORD MAYOR—'Was he dressed or un-
dressed ? Landlord—Oh ! undressed, my Lord, and
wide awake.

1 The LORD MAYOR—And what was the object of
his being there ? Landlord (scratching his head)—
! I really don't know, my Lord.
Mr. Hobler— Was it any love affair ? Landlord
—I rather think it was, for my servant Maria, it ap-
pears, went up with him, and made the bed ready
for him. She has only been with me a week, and
she came from a public-house in Thames-street, and
I understand this prisoner was a lodger in that
house.—(A laugh.)
Mr. Hobler—And how old is your servant maid,
as you call her ? Landlord—Oh, upwards of forty !
—( Laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR—Then you don't think the
prisoner had any intention of robbing you ? Land-
lord—Not in the least; for when I saw him, I said,
" Come out of that, will you ?" and he instantly
jumped out of bed, and was very civil—put on his
clothes, pulled off his night-cap, folded it up care-
fully, and put it in his pocket. So you see he had
brought a night-cap with him, and that shows that
be intended to stay all night.—(Loud laughter.)—
So I don't think be intended to hurt me.
Mr. Hobler—And if your servant maid is above
forty, he would not have done much harm to her
either.---(A laugh.)

The Loin MAYOR admonished the prisoner to he
cautious how he got into other people's beds again
without permission of the owner of the house, and
he was then discharged.
