WESTMINSTER . A Cotjple of « -GBHiLrocEf . "—Jfr . Henry Hoof , of Madeleyhouse , Kensington , and Mr . Frederick Montague Martin of 5 A ., Sloane-street , described on the police-sheet as gentlemen ' were charged with being drank and misbehaving themselves in the following manner : —They were found early in the morning upon the box of a cab driving through Brompton , and were stopped by a cabman , when Martin took the whi p from the other ' s hand , and laid it about some person in the road . As the cab window was broken , Sergeant Timsley conveyed them to Walton-street station with some trouble , and while waiting for the owner of the cab with which they had driven off , a number
of the constables were obliged to be called up to keep them in the station . The cab owner having arrived and received compensation for damages , &c , the defendants were told they were discharged , but no persuasion would induce them to leave he station , and it was found necessary to turn them out , whent they created such a disturbance , by knocking at the door for admission , that they were at last pulled in again , in order to restore quietness , and were ultimately charged with this mirconduct . It was proved that Martin had made use of the most horrible language to the constable . Hoof was fined 20 s . or 14 davs imprisonment , aud Martin 40 s . or a month . '

THE Y / HiG- LEADEKS AT PERTH . At Perth on the 24 th a public dinner was given to Lord Panmure . A . great number of notables were present , and the Lord Provost occupied the chair . "When Lord Pannmre ' s health had been drank and that gentleman had replied , the Ghairmangave "LordJolm Russell and the cause of civil and religious liberty all over the word . " In his reply , Lord John Russell took occasion to attack the continental revolutionists of 1848 , and ridiculed the pretented alarm of the Tories at the advance o democracy . He
then proceeded to say : — "But , gentlemen , let us look at what is this alarm which is attempted to be created at the present time . Does it mean that the people of this country ( who are , in other words , the democracy of this country ) , are seeking to addto then- own power at the expense of the Crown or of the House of Lords ? Does any one mean to say , really and solemnly that the people of this country are endeavouring to diminish any of the prerogatives of the Grown ? I really believe that nobody could stand up and say that that was really his opinion , because the notorious fact is that at no time in the
history of this country have its people been more attached to the Monarchy , or more loyal and affectionate to the Sovereign . ( Loud Cheers . ) "Well , then , does it mean that they are attempting to take away the lawful privileges which the House of Lords hold , and to deprive it of its part in the constitution of this country ? Now , I think I may appeal to my noble friend , who lately entered the House of Lords , whether he has ever heard of such an attempt , where it has been made , and what impediment there has been to the lawful exercise of
any power or privilege which "b y the constitution of this country the House of Lords possesses . Well , then , if it has been so , that at least is not the charge that is made . It does not mean that the democracy of this country—and , be it observed , democracy has as fair a title to the enjoyment of its rights as monarchy or nobility—it does not mean that the democracy of this country is hi a state of discontent and disaffection , and is endeavouring to push down this constitution , and to deprive the other branches of that constitution of any
powers which lawfully belong to them . That cannot bethat I think we must immediately say cannot for a moment be maintained . But it may mean something else ; it may mean something else which it behoves us all to wish—that the democracy of this country—meaning by that term the people of this country—by increase of power , by increase of intelligence , by increase of wealth , has increased in that weight which they must have not only in this country , but in each of the countries of the world ; has gained
an increase in that weight which is due to a people highly industrious , and earning a competence by their labour , physical and intellectual—employing their minds in the acquirement of knowledge , and in the forming and fostering of that public opinion which is so much the guide and government of this country . But , gentlemen , if these attempts to which I have lately alluded are made , -which , though they have existed , ought to be discouraged and resisted—this fair growth of the honour of democracy—this growth of intelligence—this
growth of wealth—this forming of opinions more enlightened and more calculated to carry on , in an enlightened manner the Government of the world—this is an increased power which ought not to be crushed , but ought to be encouraged and maintained . ( Enthusiastic cheering . ) But I will say more—I will say this , that the manner of dealing with that increase of the powers of democracy could not be according to the old system of restraint with which I was but too familiar during the last few years after I had entered Parliament in
1817 and 1819 , winch , besides all the faults of an irritation , promoting that discontent which it was intended to check , proved utterly powerless , and had much the same effect as if persons were to attempt to dam up your magnificent river with the view of preventing an inundation—or , to use a simile which applies perhaps more properly to the present time , as if persons were to lock up all the gates of the railroad , with the hope that the express train would be stopped in its course . ( Laughter and applause . ) Well , then , that is not the mode in which this increase of the power of
democracy ought to dealt with is , oy listening every complaint , by considering every grievance , and by giving a " legitimate and legal organ to that power and influence which . otherwise may he mischievous , irregular , and injurious . ( Loud cheering . ) That is my way of dealing with that which is complained of —this increase of democratic power in this country . After expatiating at considerable length on the blessings of Free Trade , the noble lord resumed his seat amidst much cheering . The other toasts were speedily disposed of , and the party separated .

Qualified Forgiveness . —Heard from a Sunday schoolteacher just now an illustration of one kind of " Christian forgiveness . " Improving upon the day ' s lesson , the teacher asked a boy whether , in view of what he had been studying and repeating , he could forgive those who had wronged him . " Could you , " said the teacher , " forgive a boy , for example , who had insulted or struck you ? " " Y e-e s , sir , " replied the lad very slowly , " I—guess—I—could ; " but . he added , in a much more rapid manner , " I could if he was bigger than I am ! " Isn't there something of grown experience in that?—Knickerbocker .
Only One Creation . —It was the opinion of Geoffrey and of Cuvier that there never had been but one creation . Dr . Knox , who was formerly well-known as a popular lecturer on anatomy in one of the extra-academical schools connected with the University of Edinburgh , declares himself , in the course of a volume he has just published ., entitled , " A Manual of Artistic Anatomy , " to be of the same opinion . " I believe , " he says , " all animals to be descended from primitive forms of life , forming an integral part of the globe itself ; and that the successive varieties of animals and plants which the dissection of the strata of ths earth clearly sets forth , is due to the occurrence of geological epochs , of the power of which we cannot form any true conception .

" Why Don ' t you Speak Out !

"—Punch . Madame Ppeipper was at Sambas when the latest number of the Singapore Free Press was printed , and was about to proceed to Pontianak en route to Batavia . She had visited the wild an independent Dyak tribes on the banks of the Lufar and Batang Lufar rivers , and on the Sekanict mountains .

The Betting Houses proceed on exactly the same system . They get large sums of money upon their horses by flourishing about them the most magnificent tales , and when the poor dupe has kept his horse a day or two , he finds out that he ' s ' been sold with a false tale .- --" Punch .

A Moral in Money —At Genoa , certain French five-franc pieces have been found with the motto , " Deiu punira la France , " on the edge , instead of " Dieu protege la France .
