IN RE JOHN WADDINOTON.

'I his insolvent likewise applied to be liberated on bail.
In his schedule he was described by his attorney as being
" by profession " a brush-maker and carpenter.
Air. Commissioner REYNOLDS said it was most ridiculous
for persons to adopt such terms, descriptive of their occupation
in lire. He always understood the proper designation in cases
like the present would be a trade, and he was sure that 'am in-
solvent would be recognised much more easily by his numerous
creditors if he were described as a tradesman than as a profes-
sion:A man.—Bail accepted.
Twenty-seven bail cases appeared on the paper, the greater
number of which were disposed of without involving any point
of interest.

PO LICE INT E 1.1,1 G ENC jiJ

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

Thomas Curling, an elderly shabbily-dressed man, was
charged with making use of insulting and abusive lan-
guage towards Weston Jolliffe, Esq , of No. 62, Pall Mall,
ill. I'., for Surrey, tending to promote a breach of the peace.
Mr. Jolliffe stated that about half-past seven o'clock last
even:ng' as he was proceeding through Church-passage, Pic-
cadilly, he met the prisoner, who accosted him by saying in a
loud and threatening tone, " Well, have you got nothing to
give me yet?" Complainant endeavoured to avoid him and
pa a on, but he followed close at his heels, and called out,
" You're a hard, b-y villain." In consequence com-
plainant gave him in charge to the police.
M. AIALTBY Asked if this was the first time the defendant
had behaved in thi4 manner ?
Mr. Joll ffe said he had hem annoyed by him continu-
ally during the last twenty years, and the defendant had been
frequently imprisoned for his misconduct.
Air. MALTBY asked what was the prisoner's motive?
Mr. Jolliffe said that the defendant imagined that he had a
right to an estate new in the posses ion of him (complainant)
and Sir Francis Shelley, left by the late Marquis of Camden.
The ca,e was tried before Lord Mansfield, and the defendant's
claim negatived.
The defendant begged to be set at libel ty, and he would so-
lemnly promise not to annoy Mr. Jolliffe any more.
Mr. Jolliffe said the defendant had so often broken his word,
that no dependence could be placed on his promises.
He was then fined 405., or one mouth's imprisonment.

A young Iran, who described himself as the property-
man in Sadler's WeLs Tlcatre, appled for a summons
again st one of the chief actors there for pulling his nose.
31r. COMBE—What was the reason of his doing so, and
where did it. take
.place? Applicant—He struck me on the
stage because I had not placed a spoon on the table, which
formed part of the appal atus of 1)-.e scene in the play.
Mr. Coals—And why did y-u not do so? Applicant—
Because I had not got it, nor orders to buy it.—The summons
was granted.

S.anuel Fish, a policeman of the P division, and Olivia
Dot is, cook in a gentleman's family at Tuise.hill, were brought
up under the fallowing circumstances :
)ti the preceding night the female prisoner was missing, at a
late hour, from her master's house, and on search being made
for her, she and the policeman were found together in a sum-
mer-Louse at the bottom of the garden drinking a bottle of
wig s, while his lantern was placed on the settle to " throw a
light on the subject." The wine cellar having been broken
opm in order to procure the beverage for the policeman ; both

her master were found, together with a quantity of tea and
sugar, and the whole of the property being identified as stolen,
Davis, the cock, was committed for trial, and the policeman
was lined 10s. which incapacitates him in future from sening iu
the Force.

FOREIGIV.

The greater portion of the original columns of the Paris
Journals is filled with articles on the approaching elections.
The distinguishing feature in the organs of the Oppc sition is
violent hostility to M. Guizot and to England, of which they
describe him to be the instrument. It is difficult, however, to
say 11,,w much of the virulence with which England is spoken
of arises from the hatred of M. Guizot, or how much the oppo-
sition to that Minister is heightened by the mere fact that he is
an advocate for the continuance of friendly relations with the
English Government.
The Debuts, alluding to the speech of Sir Robert Peel in
the House of Commons on the 23d inst., in reply to some ob-
servations relative to the supposed intrigues of Russia in Aff-
gbanistan, says—" It appears to us that Sir R. Peel over-
leaps his object. Such an exaggeration of candour, from a
Government which never sinned in that particular, is an abso-
lute puerility. How can any one be persuaded that Russia will
exert herself to establish English supremacy in Asia? Sir R.
Peel ought to have added that Russia proposed to pay the ex-
penses of the Atighanistan campaign, as well as the 375
mil-
lions ef francs that the East India dompany has added to the
budget in the last three years. That Russia, after having
launched England, in spite of herself, into this unhappy war,
should at present manifest the most touching repentance, is
very easy to be conceived, but that England should be the dupe
of the se posthumous assurances, or that she should practise in
so unusual a degree the forgiveness of injuries, will nut be
readily believed,'
We learn from the Toulon journals that at nine in the
morning of fee 22d inst., Admiral Hugon's squadron, includ-
ing the Belle Poule, commanded by the Prince de Joinville,
got under weigh, but the wind was too light to carry the ships 1
through the Gut. Four steamers were immedieely ordered
to get up their steam and tow the ships into the offing. At
12 o'clock the whole squadron was in full sail with an easterly
wind. Its destination is believed to be the coast of Italy.
The Greek Observer of the 9th inst. informs us that on the
3d Admiral Susse gave a grand entertainment. with dancing,
on board the Inflexible, at the Pincus. The King and Queen
of Greece ss ere present, and remained until midnight. Amongst
the amusements of the evening was a vaudeville performed b)
amateurs of the crew.
The Gazette du Midi, of the 23d init., publishes a letter
from Algiers, of the 20th, in which is is stated that accounts
had been received there on the 17th, of a check experienced by
the garrison of Milianah, in which the French are reported to
have had seven officers, seventeen non-commissioned officers,
and one hundred privates, killed.
The news of the 2lst, from Madrid, is unimportant. The
coalition remains as united and compact as ever, and at a meet-
ing of it- members, which took place on the 20th, came to the
resolution to maintain the principles by which it had recently
achieved a parliamentary victory, and that, in order to carry
out those principles at all hazard, a special Committee should
be appointed, as a permanent representation of the majority, to
watch over the means to be adopted for the realisation of the
ends; in view. _ _ .

The Madrid Gazette gives an authorised and indignant con-
tradiction to a report that the Minister of Finances contem-
plated a national bankruptcy, and states that " whatever finan-
cial reforms may be introduced with a view to ameliorate the
condition of the tax-payer or the public creditor, neither the
Minister of Finances, nor any of his colleagues, will take upon
themselves to pi opose to the Cortes any measure not in con-
formity with morality and public propriety."
A letter from Rome gives an interesting account of a grand
fete given on the 4th instant by the Duke de Torlonia, at his
magnificent villa, on the occasion of inaugurating an obelisk
brought there at an immense expense from the Simplon. Up-
wards of 18,000 invitations were sent out, and the King of
Bavaria, the College of Cardinals, all the Foreign Ministers
resident at Rome, the prelacy and nobility, and the most dis-
tinguished citizens, both natives and foreigners, were mingled
together in the walks, alleys, and lawns of the beautiful grounds
of the Duke's residence. To add to the general satisfaction,
the Pope honoured the splendid scene with his presence, and
remained for two hours in the throng, conversing benevolently
with all who were near him, like a father amidst his children.

PARLTAMENTARY.
The Irish Municipal Bill was carried up from the Commons,
and read a first time in the Lords.
A Committee to investigate the administration of oaths was
appointed.
Lord Mounteashel called the attention of their Lordships to
the conduct of Mr. Phelan/ a Poor-law Commissioner in Ire-
land, sshs had neglected to comply with an order of their Lord-
ships, to provide certain returns relative to the medical charities
of Ireland. The subject gave rise to much conversation, but
the motion to lay all the letters addressed to Mr. Phelan on the
table, was rejected.
The Lord Chancellor laid on the table a short Bill to post-
pone the operation of the jurisdiction of the Justices Bill for a
season, as it would otherwise come into operation in the middle
of the Quarter Sessions. It was read a first time. Their Lord-
ships then adjowned.
The Chairman of the Southampton Committee reported in
the Commons, that John Fleming Luce had not attended the
Con mit tee when ordered, and Mr. Luce was ordered to attend
the House on Thursday.
There was a reference made to hunger and to outrages in Ire-
land, hut these have been for so long a period the unhappy lot
of the Irish, that the reference did not command much attention.
In reply to Mr. Hume, Mr. Gladstone assured him that the
proclamation for the issue of half-farthings was not a hoax,
and that this small coin was very useful in the colonies.
Mr. Walter was called to the bar, and, after he had been
heard, an order was made, on the motion of Mr. Roebuck, and
alter a division, that Mr. Walter do attend the Election Proceed-
ings Committee this day. Mr. Walter was subsequently called
in, and made acquainted with the order of the House, and so
ended, for the present, Mr. Walter's resistance. to the orders of
the Committee.
Mr. Roebuck subsequently reported that Mr. Bailie Coch-
rane, a Member of the House, when respectfully requested to
attend the Committee, had positively refused. Mr. Cochrane
is to attend in his place to-day to explain the refusal.
The Customs Bill or tariff was read a third time. Several
amendments were proposed in it which occupied the House the
greater part of the evening, but towards midnight they were all
finally disposed of, and the Bill was passed amidst cheers, and
ordered also, amidst cheers, to be carried up to the Lords
this day.
For the remainder of the evening the House was discussing
the provisions of the British Possessions Abroad Bill on the
third reading, which went through that stage. The House
adjourned at One o'Clock.
• MONEY— TRADE—COMMEIIen.
The new coinage of half-farthings is not the first issue, of
that coin from the British Mint. In the 35th year of King
Henry 111., Pope Innocent IV., having called for tubsidies
from this country, " for the Holy Land," a new coinage was
issuer', amongst which were half-farthings. In the 10th year
of Edward 111., there was an Act for coining half-farthings in
Ireland, and Queen Elizabeth issued a proclamation for the
coinage of the same in new copper.
Yesterday a meeting of the Shareholders of the London and
Black wall Railway was held at the London Tavern,when the Re-
port stated that the present capital was 800,0001. The Directors
were authorised to raise 66,0001., the sum necessary for the
completion of the work.
pITELIO IMPROVEMENTS.
Several of the low and old streets in the district of White-
chapel are to come down, and a new street, which is to run
from the London Docks completely through Whitechapel to
Spitaltields Church, is to be immediately constructed.

T=AW AND POLICE,

At the Cou►t of Bankruptcy yesterday; in the case of Wil-
liams and Mottrom, linen-drapers, after one or two clerks had
been subjected to a searching examination, the further hearing
was aejourued.
Frederick Astell, a police-constable, No. 86, was yesterday
brought before the Magistrate at Worship-street, for having
exceeded his duty, and acted with unnecessary severity to-
wards Thomas AP Hugh, a bonnet-block manufacturer of l{ox-
ton, whose house he broke into, and whom he afterwards locked
up all night in the station-house on a groundless charge of
ha ing attempted to drown his own son. The Magistrate,
after hearing the case, said that, as defendant had erred from
lack of judgment, and not from any bad intention, lie should
merely adjudge lii►ii to pay a fine of twenty shillings, which was
ace, ming!). paid.
