The number of London police is 10,714, and in our city 498, In London there are 1400 omnibuses and 8108 carriages in our city not 450 in all. -k In London the police bring to a market all the dead and refuse animals found, amounting to (last year) 154,045 tons. In our city all of this is wasted, while in London it is. sold. Though on the whole it is believed London is a dirtier city, and though there are nearly one-third more crimes committed, in proportion to the population, there is not one-tenth as many convictions.

I Thief la iamb. Wm. Jones, alias Henry Madison, who was yesterday arrested, charged with the felonious entering of the residence of Capt. Brown, on Prytania street, on the 24th was proven to have been just released from a four years' term in the Penitentiary for larceny, and was promptly placed under $1500 bonds by Judge Gernon, to answer the latest charge." The Judge deserves credit fortius, it being much better to send such to jail in default of bail, than to let' them prowl around under straw bail, committing other crimes. Jones, when arrested, had in his possession two stolen revolvers, which can be seen at the Central Police Station.

About" 5 o'clock last evening a difficulty occurred! on the Levee, at the head ef Gravier street, between two steamboat Wtiael Hines and Edward Cummings, inVfrhich the latter drew a pistol and fired twice at the former without effect. Both were arrested and locked up in the First Precinct A New JDedce. Those persons who leave their houses at this season of the year in charge ef others, with orders to have the carpets should beware of strange men, who, 'coming in under the guise Of cleaning carpets, often obtain a plan ef the premises, by which they can enter and commit a burglary. A Diamond Story, i A queer case was up before Jadge Gernon vesterdav. in which a diamond nin alleged to have been stolen, was traced to the ownership of no less than six dif ferent persons, who had all come by it nonestiy in tne way or exchange or trade.

A swung man by the name of Carroll. a well to do, honest young man, had been charged with the larceny of the pin, and he proved conclusively that he had bought it from Messrs. Montgomery Bro. at auction, holding their receipt for same. Messrs.

Montgomery had sold it for the account of a gentleman who we will call Mr. who had bought from a friend; Mr. B. Mr. B.

had obtained it from another party, Mr. in exchange for a smaller pin and $13 to boot." Mr. C. had -bought it from aloawnbroker's sale, on Toulouse street, whose books, upon examination, proved it to have been left there by a Mr, now out of the city, but well known for honesty ana reuaDiiity. Jlow much further it could have been traced is not known.

but ie. innocence of Mr. Carroll was evicfrtaly proven, and he was discharged ev That ber311111111 bad a bug down her baO(garft night, as she was sitting in the entertaining Mr. 8mikes. She felt li crawl.

Bad Street St, Dennis street, from First to Eighth, is reported to be in a dangerous condir tion, full of holes, and almost impass able for vehicles. 1 i i Fan -i a New Orleans young man at-' tempts to dance, and don't know how, it is mighty funny, especially for his partner. The other, night, at a soiree, Mr; Simmons tried it. He put one arm completely around the lady's waist, his hand coming around way in front, while he seized her with the other by the fingers, holding them up at right angles. His face was held as far as possible from hers, and when the music struck up he walked around with a hopping like a turkey on.

hot plates. while she skipped up and down with oblong jumps to keep off his feet, whieh protruded here and there against her toes and dress. It was so nice for both that he finally said he believed he was tired. She was, too, and they both sat down much refreshed. Superior District Coart.

In the Superior District Court, Jas. L. Thompson has filed a petition which is in substance as follows: To tbe Honorable the Jadge of the SuDerlor District Oourt in and for the parish of Or. leana, State of IjOu1sUui The petion of Jas. L.

Thompson, of the of New Orleans, State of Louisiana, respectfully represent that he is the bona fide holder and of certain warrants issued by. the Auditor of Pub lic Accounts for the State of Louisiana and drawn upon the Treasurer of said State, and as are more folly described in the schednle hereunto attached and made a part, hereof, maked amounting in all to the sum of $6759 97. That these warrants were issued to pay the interest due the several townships upon funds in the State Treasury, arising from the sale of sixteenth sections as provided for in act 182, ap proved March 19, 1857. That the said act No. 182, of March 19, 1857, 1 ivt, the.

second section thereof directed the Governor of this State to is sue bonds of the denomination of $1000 each, payable in forty years. That the same bill, in one section, provides for the payment -of interest, in bonds issued in accordance with other sections. That he has complied with all the of the act. That the pretended sale of bonds in June, 1872, under act 81, being in solemn violation of act No. 182, of 1857, between the State and several townships and the free school fund, and an attempted diversion of said fund was null and void.

That the State Treasurer and Auditor will divert the fond for the payment of the interest on said bonds purchased under act 81, and that injunction is necessary to restrain them from so doing, and he prays that it issue enjoining and restraining the Treasurer and Auditor from paying the interest on said bonds until the interest on the warrants held by him is paid. It was ordered that the injunction issue as prayed for on petitioner giving bond in the sum of $500. First District Ceart. Gabriel Mitchell, John O'Brien and Toutonte, found guilty of breaking and entering the warehouse of W. H.

Vred-enburg on the night of the 2d of November, 1872, and stealing a lot of merchandise, was this morning sentenced, at the First District Court, of breaking and entering, to three years' imprisonment in the penitentiary, and on the second count, of larceny, to one year's imprisonment at hard labor in the State Penitentiary. "i James Gallagher, charged with the murder of Charles F. Noyes on the night of the 24th of January; was sentenced to BCven years' imprisonment at hard labor in the State Penitentiary. it will be remembered that Thomas Murray, Thomas Breman and Wm. Sullivan, alias Billy Little, were also charged with the offense.

Murray was found not guilty on the trial. The othef two were not caught. In the case of Nelson Severain andGus! tave McCarthy, the former charged with the murder of Charles Demassaliere and the last with being accessory to the fact, counsel for the accused has chal-i lenged, on behalf of Seeain, the array of jurors, on the ground that they were not drawn according to law. The rule comes up for a hearing on Saturday next. Sam Hogan, who plead guilty of lar ceny," sentenced to ten days imi prisonment in the Parish Prison.

1 Geo. Morris; who lead guilty on arraignment, of wounding less" than! with intent to kill, was san-j tenced to six months imprisonment in! the Parish Prison, he was also sentenced, to three months imprisonment each in two charges of assault with intent to kill, to which he plead guilty; Mary. Mason, alias Douglass, alias Miller, went in for one year on a plea of guilty of larceny. The sentence of John Lee and George Mason, found guilty of false was continued nntil Saturday next. 'The chances are that the two in-j dividuals will go down for some time aa the case is a very aggravated one.

Over five hundreds hands areemnlov- ed in the five tobacco factories at Louis- -7J Gamaliel Coma to Grief, rrrom the U.Y. World, 21st The Canadian Credit Mobilier has recently developed some disclosures which call upon the wily Premier for a further exercise of- the -admirable ingenuity by which he has thus far stayed off investi- tion.

UD to this noint he has slaved is frame with masterlv skill and imnn- dence. But he has failed to propitiate former alUes whom the exigencies of the ebanging situation compelled him to throw over, and one of these nOw turns upon him with a confession which promises to give him trouble, if it does not defeat him completely. Canada, with all its hatred ox Americans, could not its Credit -Mobilier American aid. But the Canadian public, when, it learned that Americans must have. a hand in the Pacific -Railroad, raised such, a howl ef patriotic indignation.

the Ministry was compelled to form a new company, Canadian from top to The American promoters of the scheme were left out in the cold, with nothing- but soorohed fingers to remind them of the nourishing warmth which they hoped to derive from so comfortable a hearthstone. Chief among these was a Mr. McMullen. who was for a time the associate of Sir Hugh Allan in all his Credit Mobilier operations. The ministerial organs have for the three weeks been unanimous in asserting and in ringing the ohanges-uponthe assertion that whatever moneys were spent by Sir Hugh Allan in influencing the elections and' in procuring the contract for building the road were made not only without the agreement of the Government, but without its knowledge.

This seems to have exasperated the quondam ally of Sir Hngh, now comes out with the assertion that the Government not only had knowledge ot Sir-Hugh's expenditures, but that it also bad a bargain with him. and that the Premier was put in possession of the correspondence between Sir. Hugh and his American partners. The statements of McMullen are, specific, and are sup ported by other testimony which is said to be unimpeachable. They are also supported by the alleged circumstance that Sir Hugh offered to pay handsomely for his silence.

But the injured Mc-Mnl'en was implacable. He lacks the self-control and the judgment of his Canadian allies, and must have revenge against his enemy at the price of admitting, his own share in the ugly transactions. Sir John McDonald has blundered in overlooking the national peculiarities of the men with whom he has to deal. He should have known that the American cannot submit to being outdone; and if he works successfully out of the cose quarters to which he is now brought by American desperation he may profit by the lesson in future transactions with the disciples of Ames and Colfax. If tbe Canadian Premier does get out of the scrape he will more than ever deserve the admiration of our own clumsy rascals.

The Canadians have one advantage over Americans. The Parliament may be dissolved, and in view of the corrupt character of the men who composed it, tbe Governor General will probably have recourse to this method of securing an honest legislature. If our Congress conld be dissolved and a new election had every month or so we might possibly have less corruption. The Louisville, Nashville and Great Southern Railroad is, as is usual at this time of the year, in active operation. Constituting an important highway be cause, of its accommodations for travel and facilities for freight, and, still more, because of the section of country it traverses, forming a sort of main road for general transportation at once direct and accessible, it has always conducted an extensive business and commanded the patron a ge of the people.

The American, living in the Grand Hotel id almost on his native heath. More than half of its inmates are of his nationality, some of 'whom ''live permanently the hotel as in America, the gregarious' feature in their character, as usual, drawing them together. English papers are strewn over the tables of the great sitting-room, and English is as much the language of the house as French. Out on thebalus-. trade; under the glass roof, the clatter of the feet on the asphalte and the slamming trunks furnish him with that American bustle to which' he" is Under his hand, on the left, the interior cafe.

firovides him with those beverages or which the American throat is Believed 1 to thirst continually. The. glass-covered space, spacious corridors and sitting rooms form an ex-: change for the discussion of Trans-Atlantic topics. 1 It is a proverb in England that when, ou wish to put your finger on a Frenchman in London yon go to Leicester Square and it may be said -with like truth that the American in Paris must be sought for in the Grand Hotel or around the corner in Rue Scribe. In this great with glass on all sides of him, he talks of and Pacific Mail as if he had never left Manhattan Island.

There are lounging youths from the upper part of that island whose general circulation outside of the great hotel is restricted to something within gunshot Around the corner are- the. three -principal banking houses, where these clients are taken charge of in a manner almost parental money, newspapers, and writing paper, like the bread in a French at discretion. If they wish to find a friend who is unknown in the American Exchange, they seek him in the ponderous registers of these establishments. If 1 they have misgivings as to the dividends of their Erie or Slack Water Navigation, they get the banker's ear and ask to be advised. If their social or financial status is brought into question, the banker is their standing reference.

In the same short row are the agencies of the steamers plying between Europe and America. Across the way is the office of an American newspa- Ser, which contains long lists of wan-ering citizens in every part of Europe. There are also American tailors, dress and glove makers in the neighborhood, which are all civilizing agencies. 'But what must be said of the American bar, wbose front looks out as boldly on Rue Scribe as any of its neighboring establishments, where the money goes into the strong-box instead of down the throat Here, on the tail of the counter, are the eternal crack' ers and cheese, and standing in front of the bar are the young loungers from Columbus land, living in the past, and tippling in home beverages. The horse is staple, and the ramifications concerning4 Belmont's stock, and the ups and downs of old John Harper, are endless.

An occasional Gaul endeavors to get a glimpse of Yankees and their customs he swallows the cocketell and the sherrie and fironounces them good, with 'a wry ace; he even goes so far as to say, with that politeness which is his reh- ion, that it is rather pleasant to stand ef ore the counter and gulp after the manner of the American citizens, and when he sees one of them drunk he says amiable liar that the maudlin- creature is only gay. Across the boulevard from the Grand Hotel, un two flights of stairs, Americas is still on American soil in the Washington Club, where he may play poker with the. same freedom as on a Mississippi steamboat, and for as heavy a wager. That familiar household god, the spittoon, is within hitting distance, and a little circular bar famishes that array of mixtures for which America is famous, and that dexterous barkeeber who grows only in tbe land of Columbus. Here are the same handsome, frolicsome fellows, whom 1 left a month or two ago in Delmohico's, spinning yarns and talking back and fro in their own quick way, with their too thin" and other bits of 'American vernacular which I missed on my way.

through England. on the Elysian Fields and tributaries our countrymen colonize in flats and in the English and American boarding-houses, which furnish the matutinal flannel steak and hot bread without which some of their consumers would think life was a vale of tears. Within convenient distance there are three English and American churches. In the shady grounds of the Tuileries and the Elysian Fields the children play roily-bolljyor sit before the fascinations of' Guignol the French Punch and From the heights about the Triumphal Arch our countrywomen swoop down upon the snops-i-the Pence store of the Fourth of September street, the Bon Marche on the other side of the river, and kindred establishments the iewelry; sham and genuine, of the Palais Royal, and the ribbons and feathers of Rue Cairo To buy is the rage for for friends and Adndred, for those who have not yet come into the world and those who are about ieav-ing it. Mothers come, with diagrams of boudoirs, drawing-rooms, and bed-chambers," and exact measurement in feet and inches, and the: house is thus fitted like a glove, to the last detail, and what surprises tbem is that so much can be done with money.

In effect, all the par-! aphernalia of material life is at the command of these dames but if they i seek for anything besides, say that social atmosphere and rectitude in domes-' tic life to which they have been accustomed at home, they are doomed to more or less disappointment. The Parisians not engaged in commerce are hardly glad to see the great number of travelers who annually come to this city, and who aver that their coming makes life dear, and that if they stayed away, the Parisians would be able to live more comfortably on limited incomes in the loved city. This is held to be the case especially with regard to Americans, who are more lavish in their expenditures than any other people. The inconvenience to these moderate rentiers is amply compensated for, however, in the 'general welfare contributed to the nation through the increased commerce and production created by, traveling pur- I chasers. Indeed, if any one has the xiht to complain, 'it seems that such right should be lodged with tne United; Stats, "which suffers from a gold premium, in a measure, through the' heavy purchases of her people in the French There is another small class of 1 French people "who dislike to see rich foreign ers in Paris on patriotic grounds alleging that their influence as pleasure-seekers is bad on the native population that the former; away 'from thei restraints of home, give themselves over to a licentious 'mode of life which they would never think of doing in vAir, native land thus according to -these pbjectors.

the French capital is made a city of pleasure only, and public, and private virtue is It is, doubtless, true that the absence of the 1 foreign element would make of France a more virile though a poorer nation. In: the United States the; stranger takes with him simplicity of character, working hands, and a determination to make the country" his home in France he brings' with him money and an idea of a holiday gratification of the sensesv. In the foreigners settled at Paris a certain adaptability is observable in the Americans when, compared with the Englishmen, The Briton; after a long residence, is as Axed in his habits as if he had never left his na tive land. 'He im Doses himself as in wild lands, and must be taken as he is. with his habits and opinions, or be left alone.

All the temptation of Parisian society: does not take the average Briton out of his 1 groove.

This is especially the case with some young women whom we find to-day deploring with the Bonapartists the loss of their Government, and' condemning any system of republicanism, whether here or across, the Title has much to do with this. It is singular how the principles of a life-time are thus sometimes swept away in a few weeks how' the' feminine mind, drilled in the good old doctrines of the native soil, goes down before a brief siege from a young gentleman with a coronet in- the bottom of his claque and two more on the ends of his shirt sleeves.

The French themselves are much more practical than the American seekers of titles.

Besides, titled people are as plenty as blackberries with them, and there is really no distinction between those who have a title and those "who have not hence they are never.

Express relates the following in giving an account of an attempted escape by an insane man In the insane department of the Lancaster County Hospital there is confined a man named. John Eichburne. He is not dangereus, but is not safe to be let at large. A short time Bince he managed to scale the 'yard' wall, fourteen feec in heignt, but was shortly afterward cap- turecL Yesterday evening one of the assistants, in making a tour of the yard, discovered hid under a pile of stones in a corner, a singular looking ball, which he took to Superintendent Cox.

On examination it war found that this ball was made up of a rope, something thicker than broom twine, and that the material used in making it were the leaves of peach trees, with which the yard is -studded; the bark of some small limbs and soma grass. The rope when unwound is nearly 300 feet in length, when in a ball it is aa large as a twenty-four pound round shot- It is so tough that the strongest hands cannot tear it apart.

He says that, reckoning tha cubit at eighteen inches, the ark was 4o feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet deep, and would register about 15,000 tons, if measured as a sailing ship, or about tons if measured as a steamer, by -British rules. It was thus smaller than the Great Eastern- It had three and was divided into numerous compartments by longitudinal and transverse bulkheads, for the safety and order of its It was built of conhfir a species of evergreen timber resemDung -tne" pine in length and strength of trunk, and the- white cedar in lightness.

Ever since the flood dried up, the climate of Armenia has been colder, and snow always covers I the top of Ararat, rendering it impossible for anv of Noah's descendants to ea up and find the ark." of Vienna, publishes in one of the medical journals tbe result of his experience with chloral hydrate in the disease of lie found that when doses suitable to their age were administered tne children exnimted a slight redness of the face, and a condi tion similar to intoxication, passing oil into a deep sleep.

Only very large doses produced a well-marked numbness of the skin and i consecutive anaetshesia. with, contradio- tion of the pupils. The sleep was nor- mal, and.

on waking there remained neither sleepiness nor congestion of the head, nor any other disturbance of sensation. The hydrate sometimes pro- duced 'vomiting, but never diarrhea. Dr. Monti declares that the hvdrate al- fills the requirements of causing sleep as well and completely in children as in adults. In whoopingoough it seems to be useful in the first stage, but injurious in the third by diminishing expec- toration.

j. Tbe Owego Gazette complains that th trees in the park and in the yards and gardens about town are filled with nc-llsh sparrows. These birds were brought from Europe a few years ago and placed in the parks and public squares of York, in order that they might devour the worms, which had appeared in large numbers and were destroying the trees. These sparrow's are fasfc spreading over the country. They promise to be a great nuisance to farmers, as they dig up seeds and thereby do considerable oam- ge -l.
