CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
(YESTERDAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice IVIGHTmArt and Mr. Justice
CRESSW.ELL)
John Burt, 13, one of the Post-office express boys,
was indicted for stealing five post letters, the property
of the Postmaster-General. The priscner pleaded
Guilty.
Robert Brown, 44, a Post-office letter-carrier, was
indicted for stealing 245. 6d., the property of the
Postmaster-General.
Mr. Shepherd. and Mr. Adolphus conducted. the
prosecution; Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prisoner.
From the evidence of a number of witnesses, it ap-
peared that in consequence of some suspicion that was
entertained of the prisoner's honesty, the sum men-
tioned in the indictment, consisting of a sovereign, a
half-crown, and other coins, the whole of which were
marked, were placed in a letter addressed to Mr.
Thesiger's clerk at the Chambers in the Temple,
which district was within the prisoner's delivery. The
letter was delivered, but the money had previously
been taken from it, and the marked money was after-
wards traced to the prisoner's possession.
Mr. CLARKSON addressed the Jury for the prisoner,
and called several witnesses, who gave him an excel-
lent character.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was
ordered to be imprisoned, and kept to hard labour for
twelve months.

(Before the BEcoRDER.)
Berry Morgan, 17, Ass indicted for a robbery,
with violence upon Jane Whaltby.
The prisoner pleaded Guilty.
' The prisoner was again indicted, for assaulting
Felicity Smith, with intent to rob her.
To this indictment the prisoner alsopleaded Guilty.
The RECORDER sentenced the prisoner to be
transported for ten years.
The Grand Jury came into Court, bringing with
them the whole of the remaining bills. The Foreman
then said he was requested by his brother jurors to
bring before the notice of the Court some circum-
stances which, in their unanimous opinion, required
its consideration, with a view to some alteration being
effected. lie then went on to say that there had been
a very great number of trifling cases of larceny
brought to their notice, in which very small sums of
money and paltry articles were alleged to have been
stolen, and the consequence of such cases being com-
mitted was, that a great number of witnesses were
forced to attend, thereby causing very great expense
to the different counties. Another serious evil wa4,
that there was no accommodation for respectable per-
sons, who were compelled to associate in the avenues
of the Court with persons of the most reckless
character, young females of respectability being in
company with prostitutes for hours and days together,
a course of proceeding which must necessarily be
fraught with great evil. With regard to the petty
cases of larceny, the Grand Jury were of opinion that
instead of such cases being committed to this Court
by the Police Magistrates, they should be sent to the
Quarter Sessions ofthe different counties, which would
be a very great saving of expenses and would to a very
considerable extent alleviate the other and more serious
evil.

The RECORDER said it did not always follow that
a charge, apparently involving property only to a small
amount, was in reality a trifling matter. It might
be that the party accused of it was an old offender,
and he might have succeeded in escaping up to the
time when the offence then brought against him was
made out, and there were a variety of reasons why
cases where property of a small amount only was
taken, should be sent to that Court. He was not
aware that the expense attending trials at the Quarter
Sessions was much less than at that Court, but it was
in the discretion of the Police Magistrates as to which
Court a prisoner should be committed. As to the
exercise of summar urisdiction by the Magistrates
y
in such cases, he was jbound to inform them that, the
law gave them no power to deal with them in that
manner, and althoughout; the
dispose of it mamma-
did sometimes, where a
felony was clearly m
summa-
rily, it must be understood that they acted entirel-
in opposition to the law in so doing• As to the evil
of the intercourse that took place between the wit-
nesses while in attendance upon the Court, and the
want of accommodation that was afforded for re-
spectable witnesses, the authorities were aware of
its existence, and he would only say that the
Corporation of London would be happy
thing in their power, and take any to do every-
steps to remedy
it, and he had no doubt that, from the public manner
in which the subject had been mentioned, it would
come to the notice of that body, and that they would
take the subject into their most serious consideration.
He was afraid, however, that from the constitution of
the Court, and the number of prisoners that were
tried, it would be impossible to
prevent this in-
convenience, as the witnesses must unavoidably be
brought together ; and this was not the case in Lon.
don alone, but in all the Assize towns, which it was
well known were crowded with persons of every de-
scription during the stay of the Judges. The Re-
corder concluded by thanking the Grand Jury for
having directed the attention of the Court to these
important subjects, and also for the zeal and intelli-
gence they had displayed in the performance of their
important duty.
Robert Shearing,
aged forty-two, clerk, was in-
dicted for wilful and corrupt perjury.
This case was tried on Wednesday, and occupied
the Court for several hours, not being concluded until
past eleven o'clock at night.
Mr. Chadwick Jones conducted the prosecution;
and Mr. Ballantine appeared for the defendant.
The circumstances under which the charge was
made were these :--The prisoner was a sort of clerk,
or process-server, to an attorney, wha had received
instructions to bring an action against a person named
Collins, to recover a debt of 241., and the prisoner
VMS employed to serve the writ upon the defendant.
The writ was returned in the usual manner, and the
prisoner Shearing swore that he had served a copy
of the writ upon Collins personally. No appear-
ance was entered for Collins, and judgment was
therefore taken by default, execution moved, and the
whole of the goods of Collins were seized under that
execution. It then turned out that she knew no-
thing whatever of any legal proceedings having
been instituted against him, until the execution came
_
into his house, and upon this being made known to'
the Court in which the proceedings were taken, an
inquiry was ordered into all the circumstances of the
transaction. The defendant Shearing then made an
affidavit, in which he swore, that he went to Bushy,
in Hertfordshire, where Collins lived, in, a cart with a
man named Iles, and that he inquired at his house for
him, and saw a woman, whom he believed to be his
wife, and she told him Collins would be homebetween
seven and eight o'clock at night, and they waiteduntil
that time, when they saw a man who was pointed out
to be Collins, and he then served him with the copy of
the writ. The man Iles referred to by Collins, also
made an affidavit, confirming his story, On the other
hand, the wife of Collins swore Positively that no such

fendant was ever made to

Mr. BALLANTINE having addressed the Jury,
The RECORDER summed up, and the Jury immedi-
ately returned a verdict of Guilty.
The RECORDER, addressing the Prisoner, said, that
it appeared lie was one of those hired persons who
made a practice of swearing affidavits f'or those who
were base enough to hire them to do so, and the crim e
of which he was convicted was grievously angr a_
vated by his endeavour to induce another person, to
commit the same crime for the purpose of beariirg out
his own offence. It was, therefore, the duty of the
Court to make a severe example in such a car-,e,
Mr. Clark here made some private cottwannieation
to the Court.
The RECORDER then said that the U
-a i
.grrient of the
Court, for certain reasons, would be reso
, ted for the
present, but the prisoner would certainly , ultimately,
be sent out of the country.
The prisoner was last night brought up for judg-
ment,
and ordered to be imprisoned for three months,
and then to be transported for seven yr :ars.

SURREY SESSIONS.

ASHWORTH AND OTHERS V. THE EARL OF UXBRIDGE.
Yesterday Mr. Abbott, the Under-Sheriff for the
County of Surrey, sat at the Sessions-housc, Newing-
ton-causeway, for the purpose of trying seven actions
against the Earl of Uxbridge, for the recovery of
sums payable under annuity deeds for annuities to the
several plaintiffs.
The tollowing is a list of the names of the plaintiffs
and of the amounts claimed :—The Rev. Peter Ash-
worth (as executor of Thomas Ashworth) v. the Earl
of Uxbridge, 961. 12s.—Same v. Same, 661.—Love-
kin v. Same, 1331.—Foster v. Same, 601.—Cooper v.
Same, 2391.—Cousins v. Same, 1321.—Swindall v.
Same, 661.
Each of the above sums was the amount of one
year's annuity. It was agreed that the verdict in the
first case should decide the others, the question in-
volved being the same.
Mr. James, barrister, appeared for the plaintiffs ;
and Mr. Chambers for the defendant.
The Jury having been sworn the first case was taken.
Mr. JAMES said, that it was with reluctance the
plaintiff had been compelled to proceed against the
Noble Earl, but he had hitherto been unable to obtain
from him payment of the amount due on the annuity.
In some cf the other cases the plaintiffs were persons
in a humble station of life, who had advanced these
sums to the Earl of Uxbridge, but were now unable
to obtain payment. The annuity in the case now be-
fore the Court amounted to the sum of 961. 125., the
consideration for which was the payment of a sum o
6901. As, however, the money had not been paid,
the several plaintiffs had been compelled to take their
present course, though they did not know whether
the verdict of the Jury, would produce any fruits to
them or not, as the defendant, by his position as a
Peer—having been called to the Upper House as
Baron Paget—was protected from the consequences
of such verdict, as far as his personal liberty was con-
cerned. The Earl was heir to the Marquisate of An-
glesea, but had been called to the Upper House during
the lifetime of his father—a somewhat unusual
course, which might leave a doubt upon the minds
of the Jury whether the defendant had been so
raised to the peerage, in order that, as a legislator,
he might benefit his country, or that he might
himself enjoy the privilege of freedom from
arrest. The plaintiffs feared that he had very
little property, for; perhaps, when a Noble-
man chose to exhibit himself to the gaze of the
public, not in his own equipages, but in everything
hired, it was reasonable to infer that those who had
claims upon him would have very little chance of ob-
taining the amounts due to them. But they had,
notwithstanding, brought their actions, and the plain-
tiff in the present case had subpoenaed the Marquis of
Anglesey, whom he (Mr. James) proposed to exa-
mine as to the means of his son, the defendant. %Vith
regard to the claim of the plaintiff, he should have no
difficulty in establishing it, nor would the Jury at
all hesitate as to the amount of damages they would
award.

The deed of annuity, dated the Bth of August,
1838, by which an annual sum of 961. 12s. was granted
to Thomas Ashworth, in consideration of the pay -
ment of the sum of 6901., was then put in.
Mr. Thomas French, clerk to Mr. Columbine, the
plaintiff's attorney, stated that tip to. the date of the
commencement of the action there were four quarters'
annuity due. The interest upon the unpaid annuity,
calculated from the expiration of each quarter to the
date of the commencement of the action, amounted
to 31. I ls. 9d. The plaintiff could have entered up
judgment for the amount of the annuity unpaid, but
not for the interest accruing upon that sum.
Mr. 'JAmEs then called the Marquis of Anglesey,
who came into Court, and was sworn. He was ac-
commodated with a seat on the bench.

Mr. JAMES—I believe, my Lord, you are the father
of the Earl of Uxbridge. The Marquis—l believe so.
Has he any house or establishment now ?—He has
quitted a house he had in Bruton-street, and I am
told he ha 3 taken a house in Hertfordshire. What his
establishment is I have not the slightest knowledge.
Now, can you tell me, my Lord—excuse me for
putting the question—what property he has ?
Mr. CHAMBERS interposed, and objected to the
question. The examination was not proceeded with.
The Marquis of Anglesey then left the Court.
Mr. CHAMBERS, for the defence, said the question
in this case was merely one of amount—whether the
plaintiff in this action, and therefore in the other six,
should recover the actual amount of annuity overdue,
or whether he should charge interest upon that amount
as compensation for the delay in the payment. A
Jury were empowered in such cases to say what the
amount of damages should be. Now, there were two
ways of calculating the interest, if interest were to be
awarded at all ; one was to calculate it upon the whole

year's annuity, from May, 1842, when it became due,
and the other was to calculate it from the expiration
of every quarter. The plaintiff had chosen the latter
mode. It would be for the Jury to say which mode
they considered most fair between the parties. With
regard to the question of damages, it did appear to
him that this was not a case in which interest ought to
be charged upon the unpaid annuity. It was a clear
bargain between the parties, the rate of interest being
very high. Far the sum of 6901., the Earl of Ux•
bridge, then being 40 years of age, agreed to pay
during his life the sum of 96/. Here was an interest
of 13 per cent., from which, however, the insurance
money had to be deducted ; that would still leave
9 per cent. as the interest of the transaction. Now,
he did think the Jury would see that where so high
an interest was charged, the case was not one of that
sort in which additionalinterest ought to be demanded
on arrears of annuity.
The UNDER-SHERIFF having left the question of
amount to the Jury, they immediately returned a
verdict for 100/. 3s. 9d. ; 961. 12s. being the amount
claimed, and 3/. 1 ls. 9d. interest upon it.
Mr. JAMES here observed, that the annuitants had
a clear right to interest. They only had the security
of the Earl, which experience showed to be worth
nothing. He did not think that there was any one
now in the box who would lend the Earl money on
the same terms.—(A laugh.)
Verdicts were then taken in the other six cases for
the amount demanded, and interest upon it, calcu-
lated in the same way.

Walworth-road, he observed two men and a woman
standing near the door of the house. When he had
passed the house a short distance, one of the men fol-
lowed him, and, seizing him by the • leg, threw him
down ; but he recovered himself, and on rising
he was struck by his assailant, and he re-
turned the blow. While they were scuffling with
one another in the road, the other man and woman
rushed on, and at the moment he (complainant) felthis
watch drawn from his pocket. He immediately cried out
for assistance, and the defendant coming up at the
moment, he related what had previously occurred to
him, and also the fact of his being robbed of his
watch, and charged one of the men with being the
person who took it, desiring the policeman to take
him into custody. Defendant, however, refused to
take the charge, on the ground, as he said, of the
complainant being in liquor at the time, but although
he (complainant) had been drinking previously to the
outrage, yet he was perfectly sensible, and had the
use of all his faculties, and recollected everything
that passed on the occasion. He added, he did not
bring the charge forward out of any vindictive feeling
towards the policeman, but merely for public justice.
The defendant said, that he was disappointed in the
attendance of witnesses, who would be enabled to
prove that there were no just grounds for the accu-
sation made against him, and that if the case was
allowed to stand over, he should be enabled to refute
the charge.
Mr. COTTINGHAM said, that the charge was one of
such a grave nature, as affected the policeman, that
he should allow the defendant the benefit of having
his witnesses in attendance to rebut it, if they were in
a condition to do so; and a day was accordingly ap-
pointed for that purpose.
LAMBETH-STREET.

Yesterday Michael Rowan and Thomas Allen, two
well-known thieves, were brought before Mr. Henry,
for final examination, on a charge of daring highway
robbery, accompanied with great personal violence.
From the evidence it appeared that on the night of
Sunday fortnight, between the hours of eleven and
twelve o'clock, the prosecutor, Mr. John Allen, while
proceeding along High-street, Whitechapel, was at-
tacked by the prisoners, one of whom gave him a
violent blow, which knocked him down, and the other
instantly placed his hand over his mouth to prevent
his giving an alarm. They then tore open his waist-
coat, and snatched away his watch from the guard.
A little boy who witnessed the robbery swore posi-
tively to the identity of the prisoners as being the
persons who had committed the robbery, and they
were fully committed for trial.
A foreman in the employment of the widow of a
master carman, applied to Mr. Henry for his assist-
ance, under the following circumstances :
The applicant said, that the daughter of his mis-
tress, a girl of twelve years of age, ltd got to her
mother's cash-box and made free with from 4/.
to 51. of its contents. After possessing herself of
the money, she proceeded to the shop of a bird-fancier
in the neighbourhood and purchased a parrot, a jay, two
or three linnets, and other birds, for which she had
altogether paid upwards of 4/. Her mother on dis-
covering what her daughter had been doing, and
having no fancy for such articles, proceeded to the
shop of the bird-dealer, and offered (though she con-
sidered he had acted very improperly in selling such
things to so young a girl) to sacrifice 10s. of the
money, provided the remainder was given back.
This the bird-fancier refused to comply with, but
merely offered to purchase back the birds at the
trade price.
Mr. HENRY desired that the mother of the girl
should attend and depose to the facts stated, when he
would grant a summons against the party.

WORKING OF THE NEW TARIFF.—Capt. Galloway,
of the Union, of Greenwich, who arrived on Friday from
Haerlingen, in Holland, states that generally in Holland,
where there are thirty head of cattle, there is not
grazing for more than eight ; the consequence is that a
large supply of fat as well as lean cattle will speedily
arrive in this country. Capt. Galloway says that
several vessels had embarked a quantity of the finest
cows with their first calves, for Dundee and Hull. The
Captain observes that he never saw finer cattle in any
part of the continent of Europe, and scarcely in this
country. They are about 100 stone (t3lb.), something
like our handsome Scottish beasts.

The Decay of the Teeth and Gums arises from various
caused ; hut, principally, it may be attributed to early
neglect, ill health, and the use of Tooth Powders con-
taining mineral and other deleterious acids, which give
a momentary whiteness to the teeth, while hey corrode
the enamel. The extreme prevalence of this last cause
is too well known to need comment. To this fact, in-
deed, is principally to be attributed the long Botanical
Research, which was happily terminated by the most
felicitous discovery ever given to the world for the pre-
servation of the Teeth, Gums, and Breath, viz., Row-
land's Odonto, or Pearl Dentifrice ; this Powder now oc-
cupies a distinguished place at the Toilets of the Sove-
reigns and the Nobility throughout Europe, while the
general demand for it at once announces the favour in
which it is held by the public at large
Thirteen English seamen were landed at Ports-
mouth on Tuesday, from the American packet West-

ment naval service. Report says that all the British
seamen in their service are to be discharged, in conse-
quence of a contemplated reduction in theft. navy,
caused partly by the change produced in their rela-

" The eighth plague," said Dr. Johnson, " is the
gout ; and that man whe discovers a medicine to alle-
viate its torment deserves well of his country ; but he
who can effect a cure, should have a monument erected to
his memory as high as St. Paul's, as wide as the Thames,
and as lasting as time." This desideratum (happily) has
now been accomplished ; and it must afford unspeakable
satisfaction to those who are afflicted with Gout, Rheu-
matism, Rheumatic Gout, Rheumatic Fever, or Lum-
bago, to be infermed that they will find an unfailing re.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
CLERKENWELL.
Michael Regan was charged with the wilful mur-
der of Ellen Regan, his wife.
From the evidence, it appeared that the prisoner
lives at 18, Bainbridge-street, St. Giles's; that—on
Sunday evening last the deceased returned home be-
tween six and seven o'clock, very tipsy; that the
prisoner, who lived on the first floor, was in bed
when she came home, but on hearing her on the
landing he came out, and asked her to come in. He
spoke very civilly to her. She refused to go in ; he
dragged her towards the door. She still resisted, and
he struck her on the head. She remained on the
landing, having fallen there from the blows he struck
her. He came out in a few minutes after, and again'
asked her to go into the room. She again refused,
and he gave her a kick, from which she tumbled
down a flight of stairs, and never spoke after. She
was then taken to the London University Hospital,
the assistant-surgeon of which deposed that she died
from a laceration of the brain, the effect of external
violence. Several witnesses were examined, who de-
posed to these facts.
The pr;soner denied having kicked her down stairs,
but admitted having used violence towards her.
He was committed for trial.

-JIM CROW.--It is not among the-least curious cir-
cumstances connected with the aspect of the political
press, at the present moment, that the only thick and
thin supporter of the Peel policy is the autrefois ultra-
Radical Spectator. The Times, the Post, the Herald,
and the Standard, though each sporting the colours of
Toryism, have each exhibited, on several occasions, a
spirit of insubordination bordering upon revolt. The
Times grumbles at the Income-tax, dissents from the
sliding-scale, affects vast indignation at the Poor-law,
finds fault with Lord Ashburton, and would fain
throw Sir James Graham overboard. The Post loudly
complains that the Conservative leader has outdone
the Whigs ii, his hold innovations and sweeping
reforms. The Herald takes upon itself to lecture and
scold the Ministry after its own garrulous manner ; and
the Standard is constantly getting itself into scrapes by
its indecent sallies of desultory partisanship. But the
Spectator, after having long laboured, with a zeal and
ability worthy of a better cause, to run down the
Whigs, has at length avowed itself the cordial sup-
porter of the present Ministry, as " the only possible
Government at the present conjuncture." Even Peel's
" disagreeable income-tax " is praised as " evincing
the prudent statesman ;" while Peel's tariff is declared
to be " the largest measure of fiscal reform ever
brought forward in this country." In short, Sir R.
Peel has not in the avowedly Conservative ranks so
fervent a eulogist, so zealous a champion. It would
seem to be the peculiar fortune of the Conservative
Minister, to have for his chief colleagues and sup-
porters too, those who have quarrelled with their
former friends, and betrayed or deserted their professed
principles.—Patriot

A woman named Ann Brady, and one of the most
insolent beggars in London, was placed at the bar,
charged with the following gross outrage :
Win. Ilorsford, one of the Mendicity Society's
Officers, stated that on the previous evening he saw
the prisoner begging in Hinde-street ; she no sooner
observed him than she entered a public-hoiue in
Duke-street, when he followed and told her that she
must go with him to the station-house. She answered
that she would see him d—d first, and struck him a
severe blow between the eyes. With the assistance
of the landlord he got her into the street, r, here she
promised to walk quietly, but had not gone three
paces when she struck him a second blow upon the
nose, which bled profusely for some time after. He
kept hold of the prisoner, however, and after some
trouble got her to the station-house. To his know-
ledge she had been in custody 34 times—the last time
for an assault upon his own person. Offers had been
repeatedly made to pass her over to Ireland, but had
been as constantly refused.
The MAGISTRATE committed her for trial at the

sessions.
Yesterday policeman 117 L was charged with re-
fusing to take a man into custody, who had, it was
alleged, committed a robbery.
John Spilling stated, that he lived at No. 7, Bull's
llead- court, Strand, and that on Saturday night;
having been to see some friends on the Surrey side of
the water, as he was passing the Black Prince in the

FRAUDS on the CUSTOM-HOUSE.
In consequence of the repeated frauds that are
committed on the Custom-house by carmen and
others:, the Commissioners have given t notice to the
following effect Whereas it has been represented to
the Hon. Commissioners of her Majesty's customs
that a quantity of tea warehoused in the London
Docks was recently removed from thence hr a li-
censed carman, for the purpose of being shipped fur
exportation on board a vessel lying in St. Katharine'a
Dock, but instead of being conveyed direct to those
docks the carman conveyed it to some of the legal
quays in Thames-street, to be cleared by the
searcher there, and taken by lighter into Si. Ka-
tharine's Docks, by which proceeding the revenue
was exposed to danger, and the service inconve-
nienced by the shipment being a delay until after—
the hours of business : With a view, therefore. to
prevent similar irregularities, the Board direct, and
hereby give notice, for the information of parties eqn-
cerned in the removal of bonded goods fur exporta-
tion, that all bonded goods removed from the ware-
house for shipment or for exportation, or coastwise,
must be conveyed by the nearest and most direct way
to the exporting or coasting vessel, and within the
shortest space of time, whether by land or water-car-
riage ; and if the vessel be lying in one of the docks,
or a legal quay on the north side of the river, and
such goods be removed from a warehouse by land
carriage, that the same be conveyed to such dock or
legal quay for shipment, and not to any other dock,
quay, or wharf, and that the license of.such carman or
lighterman, as shall disobey these regulations, will be
withdrawn, and the goods not so forwarded Hill be
subject to detention and forfeiture, under the 45th
section of the Warehousing Act." This notice is
signed by Mr. &oven, by order of the Commis-
sioners, and it is understood it will be rigidly enforced.

A NEW WAY TO GET 1N OLD
DEBTS.

Not by copies of writs, for that is expensive ; not
by the New Court of Requests, for in that case many
of the debtors go to "St. Helena," nor by kicking a
debtor, nor dunning, nor frowning, nor saucing, nor
any such like old and antiquated methods, is the
proper way to get in an old ciebt. For the of
society, and out of revenge on lawyers, we shalr
here how a certain tailor managed to get an old debt
from the hands of a slippery customer. This said
customer owed the tailor an account for a long time.
The tailor shaped all roads to get out of his linings,
but the fellow was not such a goose as to part Icitb
All hints that he could give were taken no noti.%eot
in fact the tailor had given up the account for a bad
Job, and'had begun to cabbage on a large scale in oru.,V
to balance his loss. However, one day lately, to the no
small astonishment of the tailor, his old customer
came and asked him to make a coat, making the tailor
promise, at the same time, that he would not keep the
cloth, and pay himself with it, which promise was
speedily made. The coat was made, and at the ap-
pointed time the customer came for it. It was triet.l
on, it fitted admirably—the price asked, and money
paid. The tailor took the coat to give it a brushing,
and took it up stairs—wrapped a coat up in a hand-
kerchief, and gave it to his customer. Home trudged
the wight, thinking all on his way what a figure he
would cut in his new coat in the morning ; but, alas!
for dreams of future bliss, on opening his bundle in-
stead of a new coat, one met his view that might have
been a cast of -Daniel Davies. The cunning tailor
kept the coat and got his money.—Leetb Tunes.

STAGE-COACH AND OMNIBUS DUTY.—It was men-
tioned a few days back, that under the sth and 6th
Victoria, cap. 79, the duty on stage-conches was re-
duced. The Act will, however, not come into op-
ration respecting stage-coaches until the 3d of Oc-
tober, when the duty from its present rate of 3d. a
mile will be reduced to one-half. In future, for every
original license for any stage-carriage a sum of three
guineas must be paid, and forasupplementary license ss.
By the same Act the length of seats for passengers is
determined, and power given to measure the same.
These salutary regulations, especially in omnibuses, are
set forth in the 13th and 16th sections, Under the for-
mer section it is stated, " That no stage-carriage shall
be allowed to carry at one time a greater number of
passengers in the whole, or in the inside, or on
the outside thereof, than the same is constructed

to carry according to the regulations of this Act,
and that no such carriage shall be deemed to be con-
structed to carry a greater number of passengers than
the same will contain at one time upon fit and proper
seats provided therein or thereupon for that purpose,
allowing for each passenger, on an average, upon each
and every separate seat, a space convenient for sitting
thereon of 16 inches, measuring in a straight line
lengthwise on the front of each seat; provided always,
that no child under five years of age, sitting on the
lap, shall be deemed a passenger within the meaning of
this act." By the 16th section it is enacted, " That
it shall be lawful for any constable or peace-officer, at
any time, and also for any person travelling, or hav-
ing immediately before travelled by any stage carriage,
in any case where he shall have reason for believing
or suspecting that a greater number of passengers are
carried, or are about to be carried, or have immedi-
ately before or at any time during the journey last
performed been carried, by such carriage, to measure
the seats, or any of the seats, in or upon such car-
riage, in order to ascertain the length thereof
respectively, or the number of passengers which the
said carriage is constructed to carry; and if any per-
son shall refuse to permit the seats in or upon such
stage carriage to be measured, or shall by any means,
or in any way prevent, or attempt to prevent, any
constable peace-officer, or other such person as afore-
said, or hinder or obstruct him in measuring the same,
the person so offending shall forfeit for every such
offence the sum of 51."

Some days ago, two
young Turks, accompanied
by an interpreter, arri • ved in Paris, and took up their
abode at the Hotel du Globe, in the rue N euve-des-
Petits-Chains, • giving their names as Hartinoour and
Barrhour. They appeared to be rich, and spent
money liberally, but still (here were certain inexpli-
cable peculiarities in their •
mode of life. They never
went Out till the evening set
themselves at the Ottoman embassy. The mystery,
however, was soon cleared up. Two days ago officers
of police came, and took both the Turkish youths
into custody. This was in consequence of a de.Spatch
from the French Ambassador at Constantinople, sent
up by telegraph from Marseilles, announcing that the
sons of two opulent merchants at Constantinople had
decamped with large sums of money, taken from the
strong boxes of their respective fathers. In the pos-
session of the fine youths were found 50,000 f. in
gold, and about 400,000 f. in negotiable bills upon
Messrs. Laffitte and Co.:, and other Paris bankers.
All this they voluntarily gave up, and then demanded
to be taken to the Ottoman Ambassador, who claimed
them under the law of nations, and who will, no
doubt, take care to have them sent back to their
parents.
