IDENTIFICATION OF UNCLAIMED BODIES. The attention of the Editor has been directed to the • want of any system existing for the publication of descriptions of dead bodies coming into the hands of Police, and which are buried without having been iden- tified. It having been suggested that the particulars should be inserted in the POLICE GAZETTE, the Editor will be glad to print any information which it may be considered desirable to publish. IDENTIFICATION OF PRISONERS. The Editor desires to call attention to the fact that all photographs of prisoners in custody, trans- mitted to the Convict Branch of the Metropoli- tan Police Office, for purposes of identification, are seen by the police or warders who visit all prisoners under remand, in the Metropolitan Police District three times a week. This system, esta- blished in 1879, has been the means of ascertaining the previous convictions of 7000 prisoners, and affords great facilities to Chief Officers of Police, and the Governors of Her Majesty's Prisons. Such photographs are also compared with the albums in the Convict Office con- taining the portraits of all Convicts liberated in the Kingdom, which are further open to the personal examination of any police officer or warden APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT.

But wherefore " Almost," and why not altogether ? How came it that he stopped short where he did, and never advanced any further 1 Alas ! it is only too" easy to answer this question. Our own hearts supply, and only too well, the answer, when they whisper to us that, under like temptations, we might only too probably have stopped short where Agrippa stopped. For suppose he had been altogether persuaded— what a change in all his outward conditions of existence must have followed ! No more of those favours which the world reserves for its own. Thoughts, as we can little doubt, rose up before him of all the scorn which that same world has in store for those that desert its allegiance. What would they say at Rome? at Jerusalem 1 in Caesar's Palace? in the Great Sanhedrim — when it was told, as the latest and most piquant news of the day, that he, that King Agrippa, had thrown in his lot with the despised Nazarene, the crucified Galilean? He counted the cost, and that cost seemed too much for him to pay. Oh! sadness of all sadnesses !— that " Almost" which never ripened into " quite ;" to have stood on the brink of the great river of salvation, and yet never to have committed ourselves to its waves ; to have seen the King afar off, and yet never to have followed on to know Him more, and thus never to see Him near! Oh ! sadness of all sadnesses! guilt of all guilts ! That this may be never ours, let us pray earnestly, " Fix, Lord, our wavering hearts on Thee; strengthen our weak desires for Thee; suffer us not to fall back from Thee, even though we would. Hedge up our way behind us, even though this be with thorns. Draw us to Thyself, and having drawn, bind us by any cords to the horns of Thy altar. Compel us by any discipline of love, that we be not almost, but alto- gether, Thine." ARCHBISHOP TRENCH. ENAMELLED IRON CABMEN'S BADGES, T5AB NUMBERS, CAB FARE PLATES.
