POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent of the London Fire
Establishment, attended before Mr. Alderman Hughes
Hughes to offer an explanation respecting a complaint which
had been made on the preceding day by two men that they
had worked at the engines at the fire in William-street, and
had been refused the customary donation.—The alderman,
having taken their declaration that they were so employed,
signed a recommendation to the superintendent that they
should receive some reward for their exertions.

Mr. Braidwood said he had refused payment because more
men had been previously paid than could really have worked
at it, at least continuously for the space of time that was con-
sidered to entitle them to compensation. The practice was to
send a man round to each engine after it had been worked for
a couple of hours, and take down the names of the persons
who had been working it, but on the present occasion the hands
were dispered before the names were taken, through the burning
turpentine flowing towards it and setting fire to the engine.
Only twenty-eight men could work at one time at this en-
gine, and be had paid thirty-four claimants before he rejected
the two who applied to the alderman. He had paid
301. 7s. 6d. to the strangers who assisted the firemen in
working the engines on land, and 191. to those who worked
the floating engines. Besides this he paid nine men 2s. Fri.
each fur saving the persons who jumped overboard, and 231.
for refreshments supplied to the men at the engines, the po-
licemen, and the firemen. He had paid away 541. in cash to
the three hundred and ninety-one strangers who assisted the
forty-six regular firemen in attendance on this calamitous
occasion. The total sum paid by him for assistance to
strangers was 80/. 78.
Mr. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES desired that the men
should be called in, if they were in the outer room, that they
might hear the explanation.
They were not in attendance.
Mr. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES said there could be no
complaint of want of liberality on the part of the fire esta-
blishment, and he must leave the matter to the discretion of
Mr. Braidwood.

EFFECTS OF UNEXPECTED FORTUNE.—Edward
Riley, living with his family in Hadlow-street, Burton-crescent
having been proved next of kin to Major-General Riley, who re-
cently died at Madras, leaving property to the amount of 50,0001.,
to the whole of which he has become entitled, has, within the
last few days, amused the neighbourhood by the following ex-
traordinary freaks. From having been but a workmam in the dust-
yard in Maiden-lane, he has now become a man of independence.
Yesterday he called in his cab upon Mr. Thornhill, tailor, of Sey-
mour-street, and taking him to the dust-yard, desired him to mea-
sure the whole of the men in the yard for a suit of clothes, which
being accomplished, he ordered them to go to Mr. Tendan, the boot-
maker, where they were all served. On Sunday he ordered Mr.
Shepherd to supply each of them with a joint of meat. Riley has
taken a house in Argyle-square, and upon entering it he purposes
giving a dinner to all the dustmen in London, and illuminating the
*ont of his house, _

PUBLIC DEPARTMENTS.—A. Parliamentary paper
has just been printed, showing the number of persons on the
redundant list of the several public departments at the com-
mencement of last year, and the number that remained at the
close of the year. It appears that the number on the redun-
dant list, at the commencement of the year, was 68, of which
12 had in the year either died or become incapable of service;
9 of the aggregate re-entered the service during the year,
making, at the close of the year, a diminution of 21 in the
year, leaving, at the close, only 47 persons on the redundant
list. There were as many as 280 persons on the redundant
list at the close of the year 1836.
IMPORTANT CATTLE SALES.—Within the last ten
days five important sales of short-horns have taken place in
Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire—namely, at Castle Howard,
the property of Earl Carlisle ; at Wiseton, near Bawtry, the
property of Earl Spencer; at South Clifton, near Retford,
the property of Mr. Parkinson ; at Gate Burton, the pro-
perty of Mr. Hutton ; and at Walkeringham Farm, near
Retford, the property of Mr. Henry Watson. All were well
attended. Among the noblemen and gentlemen present were
the following:—Earl of Dude, Earl Spencer, the Earl of
Carlisle, Viscount Galway, Sir Charles Keightley, Sir Wm.
B. Cooke, Sir C. Tempest, Rev. T. H. Shepherd, Rev. W. C.
Fenton, Rev. C. Hudson, Rev. J. Cooke, Rev. St. George
Kirke, Rev. John Drake Becher, Rev. C. G. Smith, Rev. J.
K. Miller, Rev. Thos. Cheedle, Dilk, Esq. ; H. B. Simpson,
Eaton, &c., &c. The sales realised as follows, viz. :—The
Earl of Carlisle's, 2,341g5.; John Parkinson's, Esq., 1,124g5.
William Hutton's Esq., 1.943g5. ; Earl Spencer's, 2,259g5;
Henry Watson's, Esq., 3,slogs.—Total, 11,177g5.
THE LASH AT WOOLWICH.—OnFriday morning,
at a quarter to seven o'clock, the troops were assembled on the
garrison parade to hear the proceedings of a garrison court-
martial read out against James Callow, a trumpeter of the
Royal Horse Artillery, who had been sentenced to receive one
hundred and fifty lashes, for stealing the sum of six shillings
and fourpence from Bombardier George Hunter, of the same bat-
talion. the same being approved of by her Majesty, and ordered
to be carried into execution. The troops were then marched
off to the riding-school of the Royal Horse Artillery, where the
unfortunate culprit was ordered to strip, and the punishment was
carried into effect. The unfortunate man received the number
awarded without imploring mercy or a remission of the sentence,
though his sufferings were dreadful. The man was conveyed to the
Ordnance medical hospital, to undergo the process of " curing,"
when he will be drummed out of the regiment with the "Rogues'
March." Gunner Laycock, of the same regiment, who received 150
lashes a few days since, is also to be drummed out of her Majesty's
service, as a caution to other soldiers not to commit the same offence.
Three of the greatest ornaments of the British
stage in its palmy days have been staying at Brighton for
some little time past, viz.,-Charles Kemble, Charles Young,
and Liston. The two former are in good health ; but the
latter, we regret to say, is labouring under a depression of
spirits which cuts him off from the usual en;oyments of
society, and makes life at best but a burden. What a theme
for moralising does this spectacle of the great comic actor,
who was " wont to keep the boxes in a roar" present !
Bri_ghton Herald.
ST. PANCRAS VESTRY.—On Saturday, at a meet-
ing of this vestry, Mr. Howarth, churchwarden, in the chair,
the vestry clerk read a communication from the Poor law
Commissioners, objecting to the request of the Board that
they might be represented by five guardians, at the Board of
the Central Metropolitan Asylum District, instead of three, but
consenting, nevertheless, to recommend to the Secretary of
State the appointment of a fourth guardian. A memorial from
a large body of rate-payers, called the Parochial Committee,
was now presented, calling upon the vestry to convene a
public meeting of the parishioners to consider the most ad-
visable means necessary to be adopted to obtain a repeal of
those clauses in the amended Poor-law Bill, which empowered
the Poor-law Commissioners to unite parishes under local
Acts in union with other parishes for the management of
district asylums for the destitute. It was agreed that this
memorial should be considered at the next vestry meeting.
RECEIPT POE LINING OLD PICTURES.—TO fasten
the canvasses together in lining old pictures, equal quantities
of cobbler's paste and glue, applied hot, may be used; a few
drops of creozote should be added, to prevent vegetation.—
The Builder.

Of 360 geese driven by their owner last week
towards Hexham market, about 300 died without reaching
their destination, in consequence of their having been per-
mitted to drink freely at a stream leading from Fallolffield
Smelt-mills to the Tyne. the water of which was probably
strongly impregnated with lead.
The approaching public dinner to George Hudson,
Esq., M.P., at Sunderland, will, it is intended, take place
in a temporary building that will be erected for that purpose,
the estimated cost of which has been already more than pro-
vided by subscription. It will be the most distinguished
banquet that has ever taken place in this part of the king-
dom.—Durham Advertiser.

GOATS VERSUS DOGS.—Permission has been given
by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, that persons with
children's carriages, drawn by goats, may ply in St. James's•park.
There is now a regular stand of them opposite the Duke of York's
column, many of whom are tastefully decorated, and generally the
new branch of locomotion appears well patronised.

THE HARVEST IN IRELAND.—We are now in a
position, from accurate information, to form an opinion of
the harvest. First, with respect to wheat—that crop, which
caused such well-grounded apprehensions three or four weeks
ago, has been preserved by the fine autumnal weather. The
injury from smut and other causes is much less than had
been supposed, and generally speaking, the yield will be con-
siderably more than an average and the quality good. In
many instances, especially on poor lands, where the corn was
lodged by the rain, and smut supervened, the grain is
damaged and shrivelled in appearance. But taken altogether,
the crop is turning out well. We know a very large farm in
Tipperary, where the produce, prime in quality, averages
nearly twenty barrels to the acre. This, however, is a pecu-
liar case; but, looking to all the reports, we consider the
wheat crop as likely to prove very satisfactory. Of oats we
hear very few complaints, and we have arrived at the conclu-
sion that the ..:rop is an abundant one, and the quality very
fine. An extradite armer in Meath has assured us that oat-
fields not at all the best circumstanced in that county are
yielding sixteen barrels to the acre. In regard to potatoes,
we fear that the disease now so much spoken of
prevails to a considerable extent', although much
more limited than in EnglaLl, so far as has
yet been ascertained. But a month must elapse
before the general digging of potatoes will enable
the farmer to estimate the amount of damage.
The accounts are very conflicting : some counties—for in-
stance, Meath and Tipperary —are represented as unaffected
by the disease. We trust that such will prove to be the
case. We have ascertained that considerable injury has been
suffered in some of the districts around Dublin. We know
the case of one farmer whose potatoes (six acres) have failed
altogether. On being dug out they were unfit for anything.
In the district of Fingal, celebrated for its fine crop of po-
tatoes, the disease has been severely felt, although its opera-
tion has been partial. In some fields so offensive is the efflu-
vium that the country people unwillingly undertake the la-
bour of digging out. The disease, we have heard, is begin-
. _

„,„
ning to appear about Celbridge and other places in that
direction. Looking to accounts from Cork, Wexford, and
. _

other places, we fear that a considerable portion of the po-
tato crop will be lost, if we can depend on the accuracy of
the accounts that reach us. On the other hand, the extent
of this crop and the yield are unusually abundant. TLe
Dublin market is supplied with very fine potatoes at a price
much lower than generally occurs at this season. There are
no complaints from the provincial markets, either as to
scarcity or price; and, upon the whole, we are disposed to
believe that a full average crop of sound potatoes will be
available for home consumption, even if we should export some
to England and the Netherlands.—Dublin Evening Post.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]— A CURE FOR ALL BILIOUS
COMPLAINTS BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. A destructive blue pill
composed of calomel, taken at night, and followed by a drastic
black draught the next morning, seems to be the favourite re-
medy for bilious complaints, when poison in fmall quantities is
scarcely less injurious. For all liver, stomach, and bilious com-
plaints, let the patient take Holloway's admirable pills, a pure
herbal preparation, and for a time drink no wine, beer, or
spirits, nor eat of fruits or vegetables. By this course he will
only effectually cure himself, but will also feel himself younger
and better in health than for years before. To be had at pro-
fessor Holloway's establishment, 244, Strand, London, and of
all medicine venders throughout the civilized world.

I DO THINK AND I DON'T THINK
I DO THINK
That the wonderful Dress Mart,of MOSES and SON
Has won such a name as is equalled by none ;
That the glorious triumph which this has unfurl'd
Can never be equall'd in all the wide world.

I DON'T THINK
That ever I saw such surpassing attire
As the dresses of MOSES, which all folks admire;
That the style of their garments was ever excell'd,
That fashions so tasty were ever beheld.

I DO THINK
That the clothing of MOSES is famously made
By the best, aye, the very best hands in the trade ;
That the garments are cut with superior tact,
That they please every wearer by fitting exact.
I DON'T TIIINK
That any can equal their very low terms,
Whoever the tradesman, whatever the firms ;
That any can equal the good that is done
By the public's best friends, Messrs. MOSES and SON.

The New Work, entitled " The Monarch Mart," with inn irect
tions for self-measurement, may now be had on application, or for
warded, post free.
