of Wright's-buildings, having some dispute with
a Connaught-roan, expectorated in his face with
great contempt. The Gentleman, disdaining to
violate the laws of gallantry and manhood,

A serious complaint was made by Mr. Nalder,
the City Marshal, against a respectable Constable
of the Night, fur Portsoksn Ward, and a young
man whose name we could not kern, bet who ap-
pears to have been the valet of Lord Dorset, fur
'disorderly conduct in the parish watch.house on
the preceding night. It appeared that the young

him to the watch-house. The Constable of
the Night, who is a jolty dog, slid a little bit'

commending the vigilance of Mr. Nalder' and a
'ripper admonition to the Constable and the Musi.
cian, dismissed them htith.
