      We understand that it is proposed to extend next Session the provisions of the " Habitual Criminals' Act" to the Police .

      A new theatrical "order "—a rival to the Victoria Crossis about to be inaugurated . It will be called the Decoration of the Fools' Cap , and will be ( like the sister Order ) " for Vellere . "

      The authoress of the " Byron Scandal" reserves her defence . For some time , no doubt . Yes ; in spite of her name , it is to be feared there ' s more of the * oaks than the beach about Mrs . Beecher Stowe ! .

      A very ridiculous story is going the rounds of the counters in the City just now apropos of Lord Mayor Lawrence . A mischievous wag has started a report that " his Lordship" is going to be made a baronet !

      A certain party in the Church of England have always entertained a determined hatred for the legal decisions affecting that corporation . It is not , therefore , a matter of surprise that they have , to a man , gone , mad at the mere mention of the « Te ? nple !"

      I v the report is to be believed , it would appear that the Board of Works will soon improve that part of the City which lies nearest to the Mansion House . It is even whispered ( in some quarters ) that , when the Commissioners get to the Poultry , we may expect to see a . fottl /

      We Congratulate Mr. Gladstone On His Let...

      We congratulate Mr . Gladstone on his letter to the Chairman of the Amnesty Meeting at Limerick . It is a manly and frank answer to those who have accused the Premier of cowardice or mischievous pliability in this matter . We trust that the promise of this letter will be fulfilled , and that justice will be done to Ireland under the segis of the law , not in the clamour of sedition .

      The St. Pancras Board Of Guardians Have ...

      The St . Pancras Board of Guardians have been rebuked by Mr . Goschen with a dignity and decision , which we hope they may be able to appreciate . " They were paralyzed , and had lost all control over the workhouse officials . " We think the world , to say nothing of the parish of St . Pancras , will survive this calamity . When they have learnt to control themselves they will be allowed to control others .

      be sorry to hear that this persecuted gentleman , who received a free pardon for cruel arid aggravated' bigamy committed by him on account of his delicate state of health , has been very unwell , . His memory has been so affected by his illness that he forgot his own name , and signed that of Lefevre , on a cheque . Poor fellow ! We hope the law will not be hard on him . Who knows but what he may have committed this , little mistake from a conscientious feeling that he had been , treated with a leniency which he prison scarcel ? y deserved , and that - his ¦ , proper . place , after all , was in

      Mr. G. H. Moore Has Been Again Attractin...

      Mr . G . H . Moore has been again attracting the notice of the public . This individual-turns out to be a Member of Parliament . He has been abusing the O'Donoghue in very characteristic language for his extremely sensible and moderate letter which we noticed in our leading article last week . The O'Donoghue will , we trust , accept the abuse of this itinerant vocabulary of foul language as what it really is , —a great compliment . It appears to us that this Mr . Moore has a great career before him . Why should he not supply the place of the exiled Finlen at the Judge and Jury Society ? He is well qualified for the post , and that can be said of few men . As a member of an assembly consisting of " honourable gentlemen " he is thrown away .

      All Praise To The Marylebone Vestry ! No...

      All praise to the Marylebone Vestry ! Notwithstanding the remonstrances of Lord Portman and of the occupiers , they have insisted on the destruction of certain houses reported as totally unfit for human habitation . Marylebone parish is in every respect so well managed that it tempts us sometimes to "be reconciled to vestry government . We should like to know how Lord Portman justifies his having , retained these houses so long . Did he never try and calculate how many human lives the few pounds a year that these houses brought him represented ? What can we expect from small proprietors , if large ones act in the spirit of this noble lord ? Again , we say , all honour to the Marylebone Vestry ! May their example find as many imitators as the generous and humane conduct of Lord Portman has doubtless found admirers (?)

      Calcraft in the County Court ! What a sublime spectacle ! We give his letter entire .
