THE PALACE OF SCONE.

" CROWNED AT SCONE."
The situation of Scone is magnificent. At the
foot of the park, and in sight of the windows of its
ancient palace, the Tay rolls, a majestic and un-
troubled stream, in breadth about a thousand feet ;
and the environs of Perth on its opposite banks are
extremely rich nod beautiful. On the right the
Grampians terminate the view, and swelling fields
richly cultivated bound the prospect on the south.
Among these high grounds opposite to Scone, is the
nearly ruinous castle of Hunting-Tower, surrounded
by aged trees. It was a seat of the powerful family
of Ruthven, Earls of G-owrie, and was the scene of
one of their mysterious attempts on the person of
James VI. Upon their final forfeiture it fell to the
Crown, by whom it was granted to the Athol family,
and being sold by the late Duke, is now used in part
as a factory.
Scone Palace is situated about two miles from
Perth. Though from its vast size, and unadorned
style of architecture, together with the dark red stone
of which it is built, it is generally reckoned a heavy
pile of building, yet its general appearance is un-
doubtedly magnificent, and is well suited to its repre-
sentative character of Royalty. Scone was long a
favourite residence of the Scottish monarchs, and the
Abbey was the scene of their icoronations for many
ages ; the celebrated stone on which they sat, was
carried from Scone by Edward I. of England, and is
still preserved in the Coronation chair at Westminster
Abbey.

At the Reformation the Palace and Abbey of Scone
were destroyed, but the former was restored about the
commencement of the seventeenth century. In it
King Charles 11. was crowned in 1651, ton years be-
fore his coronation at Westminster, and here James
VIM (Chevalier de St. George) was also crowned in
1715, when he attempted to recover the throne of his
ancestors. Since these times Scone has not been the
scene of Royal pageantry, and in 1803 the old
Palace was removed by the late Earl, who erected in
its stead a splendid mansion, designed by Mr. Atkin-
son, which was finished in 1806.

The attributes of those high days
Now only live in minstrel lays ;
Strength was gigantic, valour high,
And Ntisdom soared beyond the sky ;
And beauty had such matchless beaw,
As lights not now a lover's dream.

Near the door of the Palace is a mount, called the
Mote-hill, -where the Barons who attended the litoyal
coronations are said to have emptied out of their
boots a quantity of earth which had been gathered on
their own estates, a custom originating in the wish of
each to stand on his own land during the ceremony.
In an adjoining wood, within a few hundred yards
of the house, is a beautiful sepulchral chapel, in which
areseveral splendid monuments in white marble. One
of these was erected by the late Earl to the me-
mory of his first wife, Henrietta, Viscountess Stor-
mont, daughter of the Coant Burial", in Saxony. She
lies buried in Saxony, where she died ; but her heart
is deposited here in a white marble urn, with a Latin
inscription, written by her sorrowing husband.
HALL, SALOON, AND ANTE-CHAMBER.—The great
entrance to the palace of Scone is in the east front,
near the south corner. From the vestibule, which is
17 feet by 14, the visitor is conducted through a hall
(20 feet square, and lighted by a dome) in a
straight line, to the saloon. This apartment is
lighted by theee large painted windows, which
look into one of th 3 interior courts of the building.
About the middle of the saloon on the left is the ante-
chamber, conducting to the dining-room and great
drawing-room on each side, which are of equal dimen-
sions, and with the ante-room extend the whole
length of the south front. The window of the ante-
room is a Gothic oriel of richly stained glass.
DRAWING-ROOM AND LIBRARY.—In the drawing-
room are many valuable paintings, several of which
are by Titian : there is a fine portrait of King
Charles I. by Vandyck, and another of the great
Marquis of Montrose. The roof of the drawing-
room is' groined in stucco, after the model of the
former one in the old Palace. The library, which
leads from the drawing-room, fronts the west; it has
two small turret-rooms, filled like the larger room
with valuable books. A door on one side of the fire.

place enters the end of the saloon, and that on the
other to a corridor, 109 feet by 22.
TILE Music-Room.—Adjoining the library is the
music-room. Over the fire-place hangs a portrait of
the great Lord Mansfield, as Lord Chief Justice of
England, by Sir Joshua Reynolds, as also some fine
portraits of the present family. Directly opposite
this room is the great staircase, conducting to the
rooms above.
Next to the music-room, and in the corridor
before-mentioned, is Lady Mansfield's sitting-room,
in which are some beautiful cabinet paintings,
principally of the Italian school. In a bed-
room near the family apartments is a screen
worked by the unfortunate Mary, Queen of Scots,
during he r;onfinement in Loch seven Castle. Froin
the middle of the corridor an arched cloister conducts
to the centre' of the Great Gallery. This splendid
room is of the same dimensions as the former Coro-
nation Gallery, and part of the old walls are still pre-
served. The floor is of dark brown, inlaid with
lozenge-shaped black oak. It is lighted from the east
by eight pointed windows, the upper panes ernbla-
ioned with the arms of the successive Viscounts
Stormont and Earls of Mansfield, all painted by the
Countess. At one end of the gallery is a magnificent
organ, and at the opposite extremity are spacious fold-
ing-doors leading to the hall which connects the vesti-
bule and saloon. At the organ end of the gallery is
the billiard-room.
The great stair leads to the bed-rooms above, some
of which are splendidly furnished. The state bed is
of crimson damask, with the full Royal arms of Bri-
tain embroidered in gold at the top and head. This
bed was presented by George 111. to the late Earl.
In an adjoining room is a bed in which Queen Mary
slept, worked by herself; and in another, one which
was used by her son, James VI. In these apartments
there are several curious portraits of the Royal house
of Stuart. In the cloister between the gallery and
corridor are portraits of George 111, and Queen Char-
lotte, by Ramsay ; and some ancient coats of arms'
cut in stone, and built into the wall.
Scone contains about 125 rooms. It is said that
ninety of these are bed-rooms. There are many
beautiful cabinets of ebony and japan, and others in-
laid with lapis lazuli and brass, some of which for-
merly
belonged to the palace, and to the " Heroes of
the time of old."
" Here Galuad sat with manly grace,
There Morolt of the iron mace,
And loi-e-lorn Tristrem there ;
And Dinadam, with lively glance,
And Lanval, with the fairy lance,
And Mordred, with his look askance,
Brunor and Belvidere."

TAYMOUTH CASTLE.
De Vaux had marked the sunbeams set
At ere, upon the coronet
Of that enchanted mound ;
A bannered castle, keep, and tower.
With battled walls and buttress fast,
And barbican and ballium vast,
And airy, flanking towers, that cast
Their shadows on the stream.

—Bridal of Triermain.
Taymouth, formerly called Balloch, was acquired
by Sir Colin Campbell, of Glenurquhay, Knight of
Rhodes, about the year 1840; from him is lineally
descended the present peer, whose ancestor was created
Earl of Breadalbane and Holland, by King Charles
11., in 1677.

The wings of the original castle, which were all
that remained of the old fabric, were lately removed,
and the present mansion, a design of Elliott, architect
of the Regent's bridge, built, though Lord Bread-
albane has even more altered and improved it by his
taste.

On entering the visitor passes through a hall, the
lowness of which tends to increase the effect produced
by the grand staircase, which rises to the full height
of the central tower, and is embellished in the richest
style of florid Gothic architecture, copied from Henry
Vll.'s chapel at IVe3tminster. This superb stair
is lighted from above by long pointed windows in the
upper part of the tower, and below, open galleries,
lead to the rooms in the higher stories. The windows
in the centre tower are filled with stained glass, re-
presenting various parts of the family armorial )ear-
ings, taken from ancient authorities. Their softened
tint is particularly beautiful, reflecting various colours
on the rich ornaments, and harmonizing with the dig-
nity and grand features of the lofty edifice.
The suit of state apartments is extensive, and mag-
nificently furnished; some of the public rooms are of
great size. The Baronial Hall is a very splendid
apartment : at one end is a large mullioned widow,
representing, in stained glass, the Earl and Countess
of Breadalbane in the centre, and in the different side
compartments, the effigieS of the successive Knights
and Barons of Glenurquhay, descended from Sir
Colin, each having painted on his shield his own
proper heraldic bearings. Other devices in the same
style occupy the small divisions in the upper part : all
of which are taken from an illuminated MS. on vel-
lum, in Lord Breadalbane's possession, made out and
fainted by Sir Duncan Campbell, seventh Laird.
Taymouth is situated in a delightful valley of the
Highlands, and is perhaps one of the choicest resi-
dences in Scotland. The deer-park is very extensive,
and is covered with fine old trees, particularly a cele-
brated avenue of majestio limeg.aearly a mile in length,
the vista of which is like the regular and continued
arches of a Gothic cathedral.

Lord Breadalbane's estate is about 100 miles in
length : and before the abolition of heritable jurisdic-
tion, the power of the family was immense, as the
valleys are very fertile and populous.
In 1819 Taymouth.was visited by Prince Leopold,
who was received with a Royal salute from the fort :
and Lord Breadalbane having summoned part of his
vassals to appear before him, in honour of the illustri-
ous visitor, about two thousand men assembled before
the Castle, in full Highland costume, and after going
through various evolutions, formed into detachments,
and retired by different avenues to the sound of their
respective pibrochs.

THE AFFGHAN WAR.
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
TIMES.—As our readers will expect, we recur to-
day to the subject of Lord Ellenborough's proposed
withdrawal from Affghanistan. We are disposed to
speak cautiously of that Noble Lord's policy, because
it is at present plainly unintelligible to the Indian
world, who have far more opportunities for making
themselves acquainted with it than ourselves. One
or two points, however, are plainly level to English
judgments; and among these, first and foremost
stands the impossibility of retreating one step with
honour, so long as English subjects, British, Hindoo,
or Mahommedan, remain in the hands of Akbar
Khan. On this, we trust, there is in the English or
_ _

Indian world no difference of opinion. It would be
neither more nor less than a base desertion of those
whom, if we cannot protect, we have no right to call
ourselves a Government or a nation. If Lord El-
lenborough has seriously contemplated such an act,
we have no more to say for him. Differences of
opinion may exist as to the best means to be adopted
for their liberation : negotiation, exchange, money,
and the sword, will each have their partisans ; each is
open to objection and difficulty. But that that libe-
ration must be a part, nay, more, a condition prece-
dent to any pacific arrangement, to any relinquish-
ment of territory, is a sentiment which comes home
as an axiom to every English heart. It is impossible
to believe that it was or is intended so to betray our
countrymen and women. The policy which left
them in the hands of our lawless enemies would be as
execrable as that which placed them there. And now
as to the omission to march direct upon Caubul :
if that omission resulted from indecision—if Lord
Ellenborough allowed himself to be played with by
the Afghans, to be delayed by promises, and
hopes, and understandings held out by this people
of approved faithlessness ; or if the inaction re-
sulted from any indifference to the recapture of the
English prisoners (which would be evidenced by
a retreat not conditional upon their re-delivery), then
any English writer or thinker is justified in saying
that Lord Ellenborough is not fit for the crisis on
which he has fallen. But if, as we most certainly
hope—as _ for the credit of the British Government
we are willing to believe—the question of advance
has been one of mere military policy, it would be a
somewhat ludicrous act of presumption to pronounce
as yet dogmatically on the merits of that course. A
Contemporary. tells us that we shall march to Caubul,
but that we might have done it more easily long ago.
This of course is the mere Opposition talk, which
may be dispatched as such. " Whatever is net done,
of course ought to be done—whatever is done, might
have been done sooner and better." So it was while
the Duke of Wellington was carrying into effect his
long-sighted policy in the Peninsula; so it always
will be while human nature and political contests
remain the same. The charge may be true, or it
may be false : but which it is, the maker of the
charge has no proofs which a man engaged in earnest i
upon the administration of affairs would not laugh at.
We may further add the exasperation of our own
troops as a reason for wishing to avert, if we can with
honour, the necessity of a campaign. Already, it
seems, atrocious excesses have begun ; an English
regiment, part of Colonel Monteath'
s expedition,
having burnt to the ground an unresisting village,
with all the usual and shocking accompaniments of
military vengeance. The only pfovocation was the
sight of some articles which had belonged to the un-
fortunate 44th. The officers, it need hardly be said,
are no parties to this outrage, and the General is de-
scribed as highly displeased. But still we confess
ourselves little anxous that the English name, wi • I
has enough to bear already, should be further dis-
graced by a barbarous vengeance, inflicted, not on
the treacherous leaders of our enemies, but on vil-
lagers who, so far as they have been concerned in our
disaster, have but been guilty of what, as against
the French or Russians—at ...Algeria or in Circassia—
most of us would have honoured as an act of wild
heroism. This is not the way in which people are
inclined to regard this matter, but it is a true Way.

It is the way in which multitudes of Asiatics
•'
will look at it, and all Europe speak of it. Nor
shall we be proud of a campaign which only teaches
India to regard our rule as a cruel, unscrupulous, but
irresistible tyranny. We are riot urging this state
of the army as a conclusive reason against an advance.
It is not so. Discipline may contain. it within
'bounds ; and, if not, when war is necessary its con-
sequences must be borne. But, though not a conclu-
sive reason, it is a most weighty consideration
in favour of a pause, if possible, and when
possible—a consideration • which will be felt
by those, and they are now many, whom the
thirst of conquest and vengeance allows still to
perceive that blood is blood, and that a cruel
or indiscriminate vengeance is no .less abhorrent to
humanity than a tame desertion of those whom our
national duties bind us to protect. We repeat, we
feel the difficulties in which the Indian Government
finds itself. We sympathize with'its wish to be quit
of an expensive, sanguinary, 'and discreditable war.
But such a quittance maybe bOught too dear. We
demand, certainly, no extension of territory. On the
subject of.retribution we might feel less sensitive than
some ; but we should feel no hesitation or.mercv iu
pronouncing our judgment on statesman who
should dare to terminate the war before terminating
the captivity of our countrymen.
POST.—At a moment when it is perfectly noto-
rious that the army at Jellalabad is without the means
of conveying the ordinary stores for half the number
of men to Caubul, and, it' there,' they could not get
back bef4e the setting in of winter and its snows,
Lord Ellenborough is attacked for not pushing the
army onwards at all events. Why, if tile army did go
to Caubul, and gain possession of the place, starvation
would soon begin as it did last' year, and the choice
would again between perishing ofhunger in the city or
perishing by the sword in the snow-blocked passes
in the mountains by which a retreat _might be at-
tempted. •And yet because the army is not forced
into this danger—because Whig folly la not imitated by
such a movement—it is exclaimed that Lord Ellenbo--
rough has -"deliberated and calculated the abandon-
ment of the-- British prisoners at Caubul ;" that he
has abandoned "children to slavery—women to law-
less violence—men to butchery," &c. &c. Of all the
nonsense we ever read in our lives this is the most
outrageous. How can -any man in his senses sup-
pose that the best thing for the . prisoners is to try to,
advance 'with an infuriated army. upon Caubul r'We
say an infdriated army, because it appears from the
treament of the village of Ally Boghan by the troops
which advanced upon it from Jellalabad, that when
the memory of the slaughter of our troops last Ja-
nuary occurs to their brother' soldiers, there is no re
straining the execution of immediate vengeance.
Upon all rational calculation, then, the advance of
our army upon Caubul would be attended With cir-
cumstances most perilous to the prisoners. Probably
it would lead to their being all put to death. No
doubt among the reasons for not-attempting to push
forward to Caubul, one very important one is the deep
concern 'Sif the Government for the safety of the pri-
soners. Suppose our army were to reach Caubul,
they would find no prisoners there. The prisoners
would, by that time, either be killer) or carried off
into the mountains where no army could reach them.
We can only hope to get back the prisoners by means
of some negotiation. They must be voluntarily given
back for some equivalent. Though it were in our
power to conquer Affghanistan, still we could not get
back the prisoners by force. We trust they will
never have to accuse the additional rashness and folly
of Conservative policy, for aggravating the evils of
their imprisonment, or hurrying them from captivity
to a violent death. The plain matter of fact is, that
so far as the intelligence received by the last packet
can enable prudent men to judge, the Governor-Ge-
neral is adopting the best course which, under circum
stances, he could adopt. He is not. abandoning the
neighboulibod when it is necessary our power should
still be felt, nor is'he rushing onward into a position
which (until better provided) would be sure to bring
a repetition of defeat and disaster at no distant time.
CHRONICLE.—What idle absurdity it is to at- •
tempt to turn public attention from yLofd Ellen-
borough's order to retreat, to a consideration of the •
general question of the policy of having goneinto
Affghanistan at all. Suppose everything that is said
upon that subject were true, how could it justify the
Governor-General's command to evacuate the country?
The public mind will not he diverted by such devices
as this from the only question that is really as issue.
There is no doubt that Lord Ellenborough did com-
mand the evacuation of Affghanistan immediately.
The difficulty of retreating through the Khvber-pass,
and the unwillingnesS of General Pollock, without
remonstrance, to carry such an order into effect, alone
prevented the accomplishment of this measure, which
all parties -agree in 'condemning as most disgraceful in
its character and most disastrous in its consequences.
If Lord Ellenhorough's decision rested merely upon the
authority ofrumour, we should perhaps hesitate in adopt-
ing it as strictlycorreet; though the v ryexisten ce ofsucli
a rumour, prevalent and generally believed through-
out India, is in itself an indication of great, mis-
management, and must be followed"by the molt per-
nicious consequences. See the effect of it upon the
troops at Jellalabad. To what -mischievous results
has. it not already led at Caubul ? Every account as-
cribes- -the :-,-success of Akbar Khan to the impres-
sion that time British troops were about to retreat.
But it is not, unfortunately, upon rumour that thu
belief in Lord Ellenborough's order is founded. The •
order issued upon the 14th of May from the Adjutant-
-General's office, puts it beyond question that an im-
mediate and general retreat was what was contem-
plated by the Governor-General. Even the corre-
spondent of the Times newspaper sayys that this order
" seems conclusive as to the retreat. That the re-
treat wassto.have been " immediate" is equally cer-
tain. We are entitled, then, to assume that Lord
Ellenborough did order an " immediate" withdrawal
within the British provinces of the troops serving
west of the Indus. Most gratifying is it to observe
that this proceeding not only is not defended,
but that every writer who has spoken of
it condemns it in the most strenuous terms.
This is the way in which the sulject is
treated by the whole Press. So that we may be
satisfied that that weak and inhuman order will never
be carried into effect. Still, however, the consequences
of having issued such a command have been already
most disastrous. Not only has it established the mur-
derer of our Envoy and the gaoler of our people " in
a decisive supremacy over the whole Affghan nation,"
but it has prevented the re-occupation of Caubul by
the united forces of Generals Pollock and Nott. This
fatal delay of the troops at Jellalabad *as not, as was
charitably surmised by the palliators of Lord Ellen-
borough''s. proceedings, suggested by the difficulty of
the march. Indeed, upon that point, as we have
already observed, the Governor-General has proved
his utter incompetency to give an opinion. The whole
of the military operations which he did order were
pronounced, when submitted to military authorities,
to be impracticable. The retreat through the Khyber
General Pollock refused to undertake, and the evacua-
tion of Candahar was countermanded. We are told,
indeed, that Lord Ellenborough's incapacity will be
compensated by the wisdom of the Duke of Welling-
ton. If his Grace were at Simla instead of Stmthfield-
save, there might be some reason in this. It is not by or-
ders from Downing-street that time administration of
India, least of all operations in a distant part of India,
can be carried on. And yet the informant of the Go-
vernment Journal distinctly says, "No move in ad-
vance seems to be intended ; and without it be ordered
_
front ho no
me, it does t appear to me that the
Governor-
General will direct it." Most fortunately t,!ie"move
in advance" has been "ordered from home and will
be carried into effect. But it will be in violation of
the orders of the Governor-General of India. Our
experience of Lord Ellenborough's character, as a
man and as a receiver of the public money, shuts out
the hope that even such a censure as that would scare
otters Peel will feel it safe to remain
him from his splendid and lucrative position; but we
doubt if Sir R

lIHRALD.—When, after the disaster of Caubul,
it was first announced that we were to prosecute the
war, the reason assigned for doing so (the reason ac-
cepted by every man in this country) was, that it was
necessary for us to retrieve our military character,
because otherwise India would be lost. We alone
exposed this fallacy, and we asserted that against such
a danger no precaution could be taken, since, if real,
the consequences must have appeared and rendered.
the employment of military force beyond the Penin-
sula impossible, before any orders to that effect could
be conveyed to India. Every man now knows that
this reason, accepted by him a few months ago,
was wholly without foundation, without discovering
his own dangerous habit of reasoning without
knowledge, and deciding without reason. The
public mind was next worked upon hr the
atrocities which (who could doubt) had been
practised by the savage A ffghtuas op "tn fslisw_cmis
trywomen and upon British officers. A fi!sy weeks
bring us the intelligence that the prisoners arc safe
and well treated. We are then told that we must
prosecute the war to avenge ourselves upon a nation
that we had attacked ii ithout cause, object, or provo-
cation. The Prime Minister of England improves on
this suggestion, veiling its deformity by prostituted
words of right and law. He tells the joyously ex-
ulting House of Commons that British troops are to •
be sent forth to avenge on the Affghans the
violated laws of war. Good heavens, England
asserting the majesty of law! England speaking
of law where she alone was the aggressor, and
declaring war, for the first time, because she had
been defeated When recently- we learnt by the

Lieutenant-General Sir Hugh Gough congratu-
lates the troops both at Ningpo and Chinhae, on the
recent gallant repulse of the Chinese, in their bold
and well planned night attack upon these cities.
All those employed manifested the spirit which the
Lieut.-General feels assured that the whole of the
troops would have displayed, had circumstances enabled
them to come into closer contact with the enemy.
Sir Hugh Gough begs Colonel Schoede and
Lieutenant-Colonel Morris, C. 8., to accept for them-
selves, as Commanders at the points of attack,
his very best thanks, and to convey his Excel-
lency's highest approval to the officers, non-com-
missioned officers and soldiers, under their respective
commands, particularly to those mentioned by them,
and by Lieutenant-Colonel Montgomerie, C. 8., who
commanded the sortie, from the north gate of Ninpo,

General Orders by his Excellency Lieutenant-General
Sir .Hugh Gough, G.G.8., commanding the Ex..
peditionary laud force, dated Head Quarters,
Ningpo city, 10th March, 1842 :
Lieutenant-General Sir Hugh Gough congratulates
his brave comrades in arms on the opportunity which
was given to them on the heights of Segoan, of
proving to the elite of the Chinese army, the supe-
riority of Britons both as soldiers and as men.
Sir Hugh Gough will not here particularise, as
the frequency of brilliant deeds in their small but
forrniqable force renders it difficult to vary the ex-
pression of his approval: and where all 'did their
diity nobly, the Lieutenant-General requests all to
accept L-, warmest thanks, with the assurance that
he will not fail in his dispatch to do justice to their
gallant an I exemplary conduct, so creditably displayed,
as well in the fielrl as in their forbearance towards the
the peasantry, who were in many cases intermingled
with the fugitive soldiers.
The Lieutenant-General's thanks are equally due
to the battalion of seamen and marines, and he feels
war that every officer and soldier will join with
NEWSMiatlairation of the spirited advance of a small
battalion by the fortified encampment on
jetl% right of the enemy's positions, headed
b• ncy Sir William Parker.

GLOBE.—It is not without considerable re-
gret that we find ourselves occasionally called
upon to make remarks on the conduct of the
metropolitan police force, which, notwithstand-
ing the general good behaviour of the body, will
suffer greatly in public opinion if particular acts
that deserve reprobation arc allowed to pass
without censure or punishment. It is chiefly on
account of what appears to us a mistaken,
and indeed a contradictory, decision come to
by Mr. Combe, that we are induced to notice
a couple of charges brought by some police-
men, against a lady in the one case, and against
four gentlemen in the other—when the defence
urged in both instances was, that the constables
had exceeded their duty, and had, in fact,
been guilty of the most wanton violence. It ap-
peared from the statements adduced in evidence,
and contradicted on oath by the policemen—
whose testimony was outweighed in the opinion
of the Magistrate by that of more creditable wit-
nesses—that a lady was quietly walking to her
own home, when she was grossly insulted by
some members of the force; and on expressing
her indignation with some warmth, she was car-
ried off as a drunk and disorderly person to the
station-house. That she was neither drunk nor dis-
orderly, and ought not to havebeeninterferedwith,
was proved to the satisfaction of Mr. Combe, who
dismissed the charge; but onhearing the complant
against the four gentlemen, whose offence con-
sisted in remonstrating with the police against
locking the lady up, the Magistrate fined them
all for " interfering with the officers -and obstruct-
ing them in the execution of their duty." 'By
this decision it would appear that it is the " du-
ty" of the police to insult respectable females,
and then drag them to the station-house on
the charge of being drunk ; for it was in the
performance of this act that the officers were
" obstructed," by being asked for an explana-
tion of what they were doing—an " obstruc-
tion " they proceeded to remove by seizing on
the inquirers, tripping them up, and knocking
them down with great violence. That the po-
lice were wrong in the first instance was ad-
mitted by Mr. Combe, who dismissed their com-
plaint; but in their violence to the gentlemen
who remonstrated with them on their miscon-
duct, they were, according to the Magistrate's
decision, completely justified. It is sufficient for
us to point out the state of the law as adminis-
tered in the Clerkenwell Police-court; and
these who are desirous of avoiding a blow from
a staff, a night's lodging in the station-house,
and a fine of a pound or forty shillings, will ab-
stain from asking a question when they see a
respectable-looking woman appealing to the
passers-by against the violence of any persons
who wear the garb of policemen. Such really
i
seems to be the fact, f the report we have re-
ferred to be correct—and the decision of Mr.
Combe is consistent with the usual mode of deal-
ing out justice in the police courts of the me-
tropolis.
DA RD.—The spiteful remarks of the
correspondents who supply to the Whig journals
the particulars of her Majesty's progress are
worth notice only in s.o far as they illustrate the
disposition to find fault; otherwise they are
below criticism. The Queen's arrival, although
sufficiently announced by the General Steam
Navigation's vessels on the look-out, and though,
indeed, the approach of a naval f qua Iron must
always sufficiently announce itself, took the
worthy corporators of Edinburgh altogether by
surprise, and her Majesty was in the city
before half' the important personages in question
had completed their toilet. The Queen, how-
ever, did not land before, eight o'clock, and Sir
Robert Peel, and Sir James Graham, whose
early habits even Edinburgh burgesses need not
have been ashamed to imitate, were in a few
minutes after the Royal George dropped anchor
in attendance upon her Majesty. The civic dig-
nitaries might, therefore, easily have been pre-
pared for the respectful reception of their Sove-
reign. The corporators might not have expected
the Queen's arrival at eight o'clock; but what
harm would there have been in rising at six,
once in their lives, and taking the chance of her
Majesty's early disembarkation ? One thing is
almost certain in such cases—either the party to
arrive, or the party receiving the guest, must
wait for the other, or there will be sure to be a
disappointment. Now, with all reverence for
the burgesses of Edinburgh, it must be confessed
that it is more proper, even under the most or-
dinary circumstances, that they should wait
for their Queen than that the Queen should
be required to wait for them ; but the cir-
cumstances of a young lady, unused to any
kind of hardship, at the end of a three or
four days' voyage in rough weather, and naturally
most desirous to set foot on terra firma with
the least possible delay, are not ordinary cir.
cumstances. Most of us know by experience
or observation, that the least delay in such
a case is felt as a cruel infliction; neverthe-
less this infliction the correspondent of the
Morning Chronicle intimates Sir Robert Peel
and Sir James Graham ought to have pressed
upon the Queen
i to allow the burgesses to exhi-
bit themselves n full bloom before her Majesty.
But Sir Robert Peel happens to be, what the
Chronicle's Correspondent plainly is not—a gen-
tleman; and therefore had he made a defi-
nite arrangement, of which there is not the
least proof he would have forgotten the ar-
rangement and all connected with it if its
observance implied the necessity of exposing
any lady, and more particularly his Royal
Mistress, to one minute's inconvenience.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM IMF. MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
CHRONICLE.—The accounts from the Indus
read much better than the " decimation by disease
aad death," alluded to in the French telegraphic
despatch ; but the lamentable indecision of the Go-
vernor-General is viewed as a bad omen, and the
arrival of the next Overland Mail will be Watched
for with unprecedented anxiety. We never could
bring ourselves to look upon the appointment of Lord
any other light than as a national
misfortune,

we fear that our opinion may not
to be attended with national disgrace. Great fears
are at least entertained in the City that such will be
the result of placing him in the high position which
he holds as
Governor of British India, and we only
trust that his blunders may not be beyond the reach
of reparation before means are taken to prevent him
doing further:mischief. Under an impression that
vigorous measures will be adopted to repair past dis-
asters, and that the government of India will be
placed in efficient hands, the funds have been very
little influenced by the news received to-day.
Another
firm of long standing has to be added to-
day to the list of victims who have been broken on
the wheel of Sir Robert Peel's " new sliding scale ;"
the house of T. W. Smith and Co. having been ob-
liged to sus
culations in foreign wheat.

Copy of a
communication addressed to Messrs.
Rowland and Son, No. 20, Hatton-garden, London :—Gentle-
men,—Being called upon to attend a lady, who had had a com-
plaint in her
lost nearly all her hair; I found very few hairs remaining, and
head about a year befere, and, in consequence, had
those just like down, with no appearance of any fresh roots.
She stated her desire to use your Macassar Oil, but I felt I
could not conscientiously recommend any thing for its recovery,
as I considered it too far gone. She, however, determined to
try one bottle, which was used in about a month, and then sent
to my shop for another, stating her hair to be much improved ;
she has now used eight bottles in as many months, during
which time I have frequently 'pointed it, and have now the
pleasure to informloci-, that it Is quite thick and long : and she
is so much pleased with the change, that she says the expense
is nothing, and she will never he without it. If you think this
statement of facts worth publishing, you are at liberty to do so,
and remain yours respectfully, JOHN LICYLEY, Hair-culter,—
Middle-otreet, Ripon, April 19,1842!
