the roof of his premises in Bishopszate-strert , and thereby endangpred their safety , as there were stowed away betwepn two and three hu- dred tons of oil . Fire balloons were continually dropping about the neighbourhood , and he applied to the court in order that the nuisance might come before the police authorities . Sir Peter was " extremely ob'i « ed ; " the proper authorities should be informed ; he thought a clause in the P lice Act would enable them to deal with the case , which
enables a magistrate to inflict a severe penalty for letting off fireworks or combustible matter , and the places to be watched are , of course , the gardens which advertise lists of perilous and puerile entertainments . "I regret to be obliged to say , " he added , '' that when notice is given of any dangerous or horrible exhibition , the draught of people is always enormous . Such is the case with regard to the poor creatures who are in the habit of exposing their lives in the air , the fatal accidents to whom are sure to increase the spectators ac the succeeding exhibitions . ' °
A scuffle on a railway platform , between a lord and a sertieant , or rather two sergeants and a porter , is not a common oecurrenrjp , but it dues happen sometimes—as thus .- —Lord Kanelagh is returning on Sunday evening from a dinner at the Trafal « ar Hotel , Greenwich , with Colonel M-Dowell , Lord Alfred Spencer Churchill , Captain Jennings " of Piccadilly , " and " some ladies , " when he finds himself a little too late for the train and the Darner closed ; whereupon a rush is made at the sergeant who keeps the barrier , Lord Ranelagh using his nsts with some effect upon the face of the barrier-keeping sergeant , and the two reciprocally " collaring" each other . The barrier was forced . A porter offering resistance is immortally honoured by having Lord Ranelagh ' s j
cane broken over his head . Here a metropolitan policeman in plain clothes , also a sergeant , intervenes wi h great effect , separating the lord and the constable , who are tugging at each others collars . But the noble lord is no s . > oner set free than he declares his intention of " giving it" to the railway constable ; which being interpreted , means " a blow on the face . " Thereupon the metropolitan policeman , unable to stand such , conduct , carries off my lord and a friend , who had been active in the fray , to the station , where mv lord is again " violent ; " friends bail him out , and the next morning he appears before Mr . Traill , at Greenwich . In court Lord Ranelagh called one of the wit- I nesses a " liar ' and was reproved by the magistrate .
xne ev . aence ot tiie •< friends , " who had been als 5 dining at the Trafalgar , represents the affray as having arisen from the improper behaviour of the porter and barrierkeeper Colonel M'Dowell " watched carefully , " and declared that no blows were struck by Lord Ranelagh . [ Thtre were severe bruises on the face of Price the keeper of the barrier . ] Lord Alfred Spencer Churchill saw no violence used by Lord Ran Pla « h ; » but he ad-S ! 3 fh 1 ? i .

Miscellaneous. The Exposition Gathering ...
MISCELLANEOUS . The Exposition gathering of the Teetotallers was held I on Monday , at Kxeter Hall , under the preside / ice of I Mr . L . Heyworth , M . P ., supported by Mr . George Cruikshank , Mr . Silk Buckingham , Mr . Elihu Burrett , and Dr . Lees . The Welsh gentlemen , who sans at the
Exposition on Tuesday , were present . The meeting was successful . 1 The ceremony of throwing down the barriers and opening the new street dedicated to the public , under the name of ¦ " Victoria street , " took place on Wednesday , August 6 . The locality of this new and commodious street was formerly the abode of filth and impurity . The commissioners attended divine service in Westminster Abbey , and afterwards formed a procession , attended by the beadles of the two parishes , who took the command of the Grey , Green , Blue , and Black Coat Schools . At a luncheon Riven in a tent on the ground , the Chairman , the Earl of Carlisle , said he hoped to see the line of the new street full , not so much with happy specimens of architecture , as with worthy and becoming abodes of the industrious classpR .
Another meeting has been held in Finsbury , to con-| sider the reply forwarded b y the Home-office to the late memorial agreed to on Clerken well-green , respecting the alleged murder of William Hogan , by a policeman ? m Shoe-lane . The reply of the Home Secretary was to the effect , that he had received the memorial in reference to the death of William Hogan , and that he had forwarded it to the Lord Mayor , together with the letter accompanying it . This communication , it was contended , left the memorialists in the same position which they held before they addressed the Home Secretary . A resolution was passed , condemning the course adopted by the police authorities , in not causing an investigation to be made in order to identify the policeman .
The Railway From Dublin To Galway Was Op...
The railway from Dublin to Galway was opened on the 1 st of August . A great dinner was given to Mr . Paxton at Derby on luesday , at which the Duke of Devonshire attended Mr , Paxton gave a curious and interesting account of the idea of cor . atructing the building for the Great Exposition ^ glass The glass house he was at the time building for the Victoria Kegia suggested the idea ; and he claimed also to have contemplated the continuance of the structure aa a winter garden . The meeting was most triumphant . °

con-As to what I did in Scotland besides talking to the " guid folk , " and what I saw and felt among its mountains and amidst its historic associations , it might fill a sentimental volume to tell ; and unless I had your especial permission to occupy a column with my prate , I would not venture upon the story .
