CONSCIENCE.--A singular scene occurred in New-
!ark church, on Sunday week ; a child was presented to the offi-
ciating minister, to be baptized, and afl:•er he had proceeded as far
as that part of the service wherein the minister says, " Dost thou
in the name of this child renounce the devil and all his works ?"
c. on the question being put, the sponsors could not, they said,
take such a task upon them ; the ceremony here ended and the
parties returned home.—Nottingham Review.
A. REAL ENGLISH BULL.—Two brothers were
amusing themselves, something in the style of William the Con-
queror's sons, by throwing water in each other's faces. The elder
one took a true aim, and seldom missed his mark; the younger
one as constantly failed. At last he could bear it no longer, and
cried out, in great vexation, " I declare now, Frank, it's not fair ;
for, see, you are ever so much nearer to me than I am to you!"--
Literary Gazette.

BREWING.—In a late assault case against an emi-
nent brewer, the following ingenious argument was used :-.7" If
there he any charge made against the beer (said Mr. L.), rebuft
it." It was this clench in jest which led to the assault in earnest
—so that neither your if nor your but is a certain peace-maker.--1
Literary Gazette.

We understand from a gentleman who left Florence,l
the last week of November, th;t notwithstanding the fine weather
which we have had in this country, that experienced on the con-
tinent has been of a very different description. The country about
Lyons was all under water, and during the time that he remained
in Paris, which was nearly a fortnight, it rained incessantly.
A FACT.—A cutter or hewer of stone statues, not
fifty miles from Glasgow, was lately employed to cut a likeness of
Mr. Canning, and, in order to avoid the inclemency of the weather
he resolved to finish the bust in his own room. A brother of thr
trade, or rather a mason, from near the Tweed, chancing one day
to call at a public-house in the neighbourhood, became rather
" owre fon to gang his lane," and, by the greatest good fortune,
came in contact with the sculptor, who very humanely took, him
to his lodging, and gave him a share of his bed. His guest %yap
then too, drunk to observe the statue, and on his awakening in the,
morning, quite ignorant of where he was domiciled, he was asked
by the sculptor, who lay " ayont" him in the bed, to what place
lie was going. " Home," was the reply. " Take care, then,7
said his host, " that you do not upset George Canning." " Good
God," exclaimed the sobered man, starting and looking round him,,
" am I in the House of Commons?"— Glasgow Free Press.

" THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE NEVER DID RUN
SMOOTII."—A most instance of this pathetic aphorism,
occurred a few days since in Whitechapel-road. Mr. Helsham,/
surgeon and apothecary, in that Oriental district, had a servant
maid, lavely, pensive, and twenty-seven ; whose charms had taken
forcible possession of the heart of his apprentice, a young man,l
'thin, languishing, and nineteen. Now it so happened, that this!
amiable couple, though gifted abundantly with those virtues whichi
lovers are apt to have, yet possessed, like Othello, one tragic defect,
which being by degrees dropped into the " pure fountain of their
hearts," Completely neutralized its purity. The servant maid—we
grieve to state it—conceived suspicions injurious to the innocence of
her sweet-heart—her sweet-heart on the other hand, imagined it
possible that snow might excel his mistress in purity, so that you
may naturally suppose how exceedingly wretched this susceptible
but mistaken couple must have made themselves. It came to
pass, however, that one day their affliction reached its climax.—
The servant maid had just done scouring the stove, and the ap-
prentice had just prepared an elixir (two penn'orth of laudanum)
intended to despatch some unoffending patient into a happier and
better world, when a Miss , a visitor at Mr. Belsham's,
(who had enjoined his apprentice, whenever she should call, to pay
her every attention) suddenly knocked at the door. The amiable
lyouth, obedient to his master's commands, ,who happened to be
!out at the time, proceeded to pay this young lady every befitting
attention—he helped her to take off her cloak, assisted her to
bread and butter, handed her the tea, and eke the toast, and, in
short, did the agreeable to the best of his ability. All this while
the poor servant maid was weeping al on e,and deserted in the kitchen.
Suddenly, however, she felt herself inspired with demoniac phrenzy,
indignantly threw down the hearth-broom, with which (since the
'truth must be told) she bad been sweeping the cobwebs, rushed
into the shop,—and by dispatching a due proportion of poison,
added thereby one more to the numerous list of 42Esculapiaii martyrs.
While thus engaged, her moans reached the ears of her lover, who,
naturally bolting in at the shop-door to ascertain the cause, beheld
_Oh, heavens and earth !—his love faint and dying, from the
effects of wounded affection." Struck with the extent of her sacri-
fice, he passionately exclaimed, " she's drunk it all by jingo;
howsomdever, she sha'nt get nothing by it, for I'll drink it too" ;
so tippled the remainder, and then laid himself down by her side.
. Meanwhile Miss ll had made the best of her way to-
wards an adjoining shop; and what is very singular in her
conduct, and of course very unfashionable, had contrived to
tell her story to the neighbours without . a single hysteric.,
Assistance was immediately procured, and however destruct
tive it may be to a tale like this of sentiment, yet a regard
for historic truth obliges us to confess that the stomach ptinip
was resorted to; which after duly dislodging at least three
" noggins" of poison, happily resuscitated the suicides. Our
reporter who gave us this " domestic drama," (a promising young
man in the accident line) assures it was quite affecting to see th
lovers:3 they lay, calmly and tranquilly side by side, clasped ii
each other's arms. The youth in particurar furnished a very
happy illustration of Romeo in the agony of death, with the slight
exception, that his shirt was not quite so clean as it might hay-
; been. But who, we ask, is perfect ?

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILIMIALL—(Tnis DAY.)

Mary Clifton, a woman advanced in years, and apparently an
experienced thief, was charged by a young married woman of the
name of Johanna Kelly with stealing from her one pair of blan-
kets, a pair of sheets, a wine glass, and a knife. A few days ago,
the prisoner came to Mrs. Kelly, and said she was informed she had
a room to let ; she said she had. The prisoner looked at it,
seemed very much pleased with it, and agreed to pay her ss. a
week for it. Mrs. Kelly put herself to some inconvenience in
furnishing the room, and making things comfortable for her. In
two or three days afterwards she was detected carrying away the
blankets and sheets. Upon her person were found a great number
of duplicates of different articles, which it appeared she bad taken
from other lodgings.
The ALDERMAN thought this was a very aggravated case, and
accordingly committed her. "

BOW-STREgT—(Tuts DAY).
Robert Mullin and a Mr. Baron, the first a journeyman, and
the other a master plumber, were committed ; the first for steal-
,
l ing, and the other for receiving, a quantity of lead, the property
of Mr. Parker, plumber, of Spur-street, Leicester-square. Mr.
Baron has lived respectably as a plumber, in St. Martin's-lane,
for several years, and a great number of his friends attended, and
he was bailed out immediately.
A cool Irishman was charged with trying to open the boot of
' A Mr. Booth's carriage, in Oxford-street, and afterwards " rescu-
ing _himself" from an officer. Being asked what he had to say,
he replied—" I can only say that they have perjured themselves,
and 1 suppose you won't believe that."—Committed.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—(Tms DAY.)
There were several cases of disorderlies disposed of this =ru-
in, but none of any interest.
