the roof of his premises in Bishopsgate-street , and thereby endangered their safety , as there were stowed away between two and three hundred tonsof 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 obliged ; " the proper authorities should be informed ; he thought a clause in the Police 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 at the succeeding exhibitions . " ° A scuffle on a railway platform ,, between a lord and a sergeant , or rather two sergeants and a porter , is not a common occurrence , but it does happen sometimes—as thus : —Lord Ranelagh is returning on Sunday evening from a dinner at the Trafalgar HotelGreenwichwith
, , 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 barrier 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 barrierrkeeping sergeant , and the two reciprocally " collaring" each other . The barrier was forced . A porter offering resistance is immortally honoured by having Lord Ranelagh ' s cane broken over his head . Here a metropolitan policeman in plain clothes , also a sergeant , intervenes wiih great effect , separating the lord and the constable , who are tugging at each others collars . But the noble lord is
no sooner set free than he declares his intention of " giv ing 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 -my lord is again " violent ; " friends bail him out , and the next morning he appears before Mr- Traill , at Greenwich . In court Lord Banelagh called one of the witnesses a "bar , " and was reproved by the magistrate . At ^ v f of the " f » ends , " who had been also dining at the Trafalgar , represents the affray as having arisen
from the improper behaviouF of" the porter and barrierkeeper Colonel M'Dowell « watched carefully , " and declared that no blows were struck by Lord Ranelagh . K ™! T e u " -, bru i ses on ^ e face of Price , The keeper of the barrier . ] Lord Alfred Spencer Churchill saw no violence used by Lord Ranelagh ; " but he admit ed violence as « possible . " Captain Jennings ' < de nied that his friend used blows in getting on to the platform ; " but he did not see « his friemf" after he timely intervention of the police sergeant . In the teeth t ° o lieTesSf Statement 8 > Mr - Traill sent the case

MISCELLANEOUS . The Exposition gathering of the Teetotallers was held on Monday , at Exeter Hall , under the presidence of Mr . L . Heyworth , M . P ., supported by Mr . George Cruikshank , Mr . Silk Buckingham , Mr . Elibu Burrett , and Dr . Lees . The Welsh gentlemen , who sang at the Exposition on Tuesday , were present . The meeting was successful . ' 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 given in a tent on the ground , the Chairman , the Earl of Carlisle , said he hoped to see the line of the newstreet full , not so much with " happy specimens of architecture , as with worthy and becoming abodes of the industrious classes .
Another meeting has been held in Finsbury , to consider the reply forwarded by the Home-office to the late [ memorial agreed to on CJerkenwell-green , respecting the alleged murder of William Hogan , by a policeniariT 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 .

i If it would not be deemed too great an intrusion on your columns , I might just say that , durin" - the fifty-two days I spent in auld Scotland , I addressed forty audiences—some in the principal towns of Edinburgh , Glasgow , Dundee , Aberdeen , and Paisley ; eome in the smaller towns of Dunfermfine , I Dalkeith , Hamilton , Galashiels , and Hawick ; and the rest m the villages of Kilbarchan , Barrhead , Canapsie , and Lass wade ; in many instances the audiences being large , and in all highly intelligent . 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 .
