POLICE INTELLIGENCE. °MONA M.—Saturday, Nathaniel Godbold, Esq. of Blooms bt.ry-svare, charged iN. T. Morris, jun. Esq. of Little Tower street, with stealing a check, value $1,203. 19s. 'lr. Arany stated, that Mr. Gndbold, on the 28th September, c'eliverrd 178.000 of Chilian scrip to Mr. Morris to dispose of: It her having gone to disperse of them, Mr. Morris rcturnsd in al:nut five minutes aed said that he had disposed of them, hut mild not get Bank - bills; he , ho w e ver, preposed to pay the witness in a inint check u; nn the firm of himself and brother; and the witness took a cheek for L1,f203. 191. drawn upon Wit hams and Co. Birchiniane, and picid it to his bankers. Lees and . Co. by whom it was returned dishonoured. In the evening witness waited on defendant, and saw hint with his fattier and brother, and told them the checl: was returned. Upon which t'se defendant said, in apparent astonishment—" Gaud Goo, re turned !" Witness Pad ascertained that the firm had £9OO or Xiono in their hanking-house,.and proposed that the defendant should give him that turn, and his check for the rest. D fondant objected, saying that his bankers were probably shut up, but said that if the witness would call on him on Monday on 'Change, he would give him the whole amount. Witness went acconiinzly on the outlay, saw the defendant, and went with bins to his office. where defendant produced Bank-notes to the amount of d2ll CO and odd pounds, and began to count them over. After which he said, " i era short of the anieunt, but if rni will come with me upon 'Change, I have money to receive of young Goo h, •nd will pay you din ctly iu They went accordingly, when defend:int pulled out his 'notes again and coanted over £1,160 and odd pourds, end said, " Good Gon, ens short now again; what is the amount of the check ?" n.ns tool; the check out of his nncket, in the hope of receiving B ek-bill-, when the def nclant snatched it frinu las hand. Sir Jasins All i'1.••••4)ill he ,11/1401 it frOso your hand, or did he ask to see it ?-1-le took it friiin my hand without my leave. Witness malerwent a long ernss•c z:mination ; when Mr. ALLEY said this was his case. Mr. PLATT for the dcfendant.—There ;Neared to him to he an colour for the charge of larceny, to constitute which it is ne cessary to prove that one party had acted with an intent to de csive. Now what possible profit conk! the dnfendant propose to himself from substituting a won:it-sore not.: in the place of the check ? Could there be any d,.ubt of Ills responsibility for the out: as well as for the other ? It was well !mown that subsequent consent was of equal validity with previous command, and the ceniplainant had decidedly given that consent when he took the promissory note in lieu of the check. Ilad he, Mr. Godbold, complained to a single person of the violence of the defender): ? No, as he knew that he had, sub moths, consented to part with the check ; hut he afterwards thought that the shortest way to the settlement was proceeding in the manner now adopted. The Learned Counsel added, that if It were necessary, he could prove tint Air. Godbold was the seller, and his client the buyer of the bonds. Mr. Platt then called the father of the iltielidani.• Witness said, Alr. Godbold came to him and said he had given witness's son the check, and that he had received from hint a promissory note, but that there bad been no occasion to put himself to that expense. Mr. Godbold also said he was obliged to defendant for makiug him secure, and that the check was torn in pieces and flung on the ground. He also said, that he begged witness's son to pick up the pieces and put them in his pocket, that no one might make use of them. An hour after wards Mr. Godbold asked him whether he had seen defendant? to which he replied in the negative, and at four o'clock 1w met Mr. Godbold on the subject of ten thousand pounds in the Chi lian Stock, on which occasion Mr. Godbold did not say a word to him about his son. Mr. Are.av they commented upon the evidence, and said the larceny had been proved beyond all possibility of doubt. Sir.!. SHAW having consulted the City Solicitor and the Chief Cerk, said, be saw a great deal of irregularity in the transac tion, but not anytlii:lg felonious. The two circumstances that l'ad been dwelt upon as evidence of the felonious Intent, were accpnnted for. namely, the drawing of the balance of 9001. from the Bankers', and the destruction of the check. The money had been traced back Into the defeittlant's possession, and if anything feinejeue had. heel contemplated, a promissory note would rot •have beedieft in the possession of Mr. Godbold. Viewing the case. altogether, it was one of the most irregular mercantile teansactions he bed ever witnessed ; and he regretted that a 'tomtit man whose family was established in respectability in the City of L ondon, should have acted in so faulty a manner ; but he could not bring his mind to deelar e that it swathe intention of the defendant to steal the cheque : he was accordingly discharged. Lasterna.seacer.--Saturdzy, Sarah Meyer was charged with stabbing her husband. It appeared that the wife entertained strong suspicions of her husband having transferred his affection to another object ; he tame home rather late on Friday night, wl!en his jealous rib. flying into a rage, roused his anger to such a degree that he struck her, and she (in retaliation) sheathed In his breast a three pronged fork,witli which she was preparing supper. The surgeon who dressed the man's wound, said his patient was sa seriously indisposed as to render it dangerous for him to attend. The prisoner was accordingly remanded. THAMEA POLICL—Cothr•-ine Dunnavan and Thomas Murphy were charged with committing a robbery at the house of a gen tleman at %farming, in Kent, during a late fire that destroyed the premises. In this case the old adage, " that when rogues quarrel the truth comes out," was completely verified. The prisoners had been down in Kent during the late season picking bpp%. and were a. Banning with several hundreds of the hop.. picking fraternity, when a fire broke out at !farming, and the • property that escaped the devastating element was most of it car ried off by the mob, amongst whom the prisoners were " busy. • bodies." They escaped to town with their booty, and Murphy, after his arrival in London, intrusted the property to the care of Dunnavan, who was his chore main. During the absence of Mon. pi t y, Dunnavan in some way or other disposed of his property, and Murphy, on his return, baying strong ground to believe the property had gone to a rival in his affections, in his passion charged Dunnavan with the watchman, and she was conveyed to Shadweil watchhouse, when Murphy formally preferred his domplaint, that of her having robbed him of his watch. Dune raven told him that he would repent, and likely before this be has ; for on the officers inquiring how Murphy became possessed of the property, Dunnavan said she and Murphy were at Bann ing when a See took place, and with the hop-pickaks assisted in saltine the property from the flames, and .that Murphy brought 1 what he saved to London. The officer was dispatched to Bem is:it. and found the story correct. Tie property was identified, *ad the prisoners were committed. I COROidati i. An Incpresewsts lull on ileturelltymOtiihic it Tothill• fields prison, before Mr. Mso - os, Cornsist;on the body of Mary Clarke, aged 70, James Russell, clerk of the prison, stated that the prisoner was received into the jail on Monday last,.in l the afternoon, under the commitment of Robert 'llatinsford,Esq.ope of the Magistrates ofQueen.square, who had sentenced her, as a vagrant, to one month's imprisonment and hard labour, she having been found wandering about and sleeping s in the open air. She was very unwell when she was brought to the prison. Mr. John davits, surgeon to the prison, stated that be was there when the woman was .brought in on , Monday last. She was in a most diseased and filthy 'condition, so that he could hardly approach her, and was very emaciated. She told him that shihad not had a-bed or food for the last five days. She was put under the care of one of the women. She was cleaned, and a bed, with blankets and coverlid, were assigned to her use. He directed, after she *as in bed, that a little giuel should be given to her, and sawher on the following morning, and then examined her. She expressed herself much better for what had been done for her, and looked a great deal better.— , She took some tea and dry toast, and the Governor gave her some broth in the caurse of the day, but it did not remain on her stomach. He gave her some medicine, and she expressed herself gratefill for his attentions. He had no idea then, nor even on the day she died, that she was iu a dying state. Juror—She had applied to the Parish Officers for relief before she came into the pijson, had she not ? Witness—Not that he knew. The day before she died she appeared better; her voice was stronger. — He did not think she was near her death. Her having no food for five days would acc"lerate her death. On the night before her death she spoke of her husband, from whom she had been separated for 15 years, On Friday morning she died. The Jut y viewed the body—it was a mere skeleton. The Jurors expressed their opinion, that a woman in her state ought to have been sent to a poor-house, and not to a prison. The beadle of the parish said that she smelt so of fensively that he did not think her fit to be in a poor house. While she was in the watch-house the place could scarcely be borne. The Conosea thought every attention had been paid to her consistent with her condition. Verdict—" Died by the Visitation of GPM" - Saturday night, at eight o'clock, an Inquisition was held before T. SHELTON, Esq. Coroner for the City of London, on the body of Mr. Thomas Baker Good win, a respectable jeweller. The Jury were sum moned to meet at the late residence of the deceased, No. 1, Skinner•street, Snow-hill. . The Jury Cook a view of the body, in the first in stance. A relative wished that the wife of the de ceased might not have her feelings lacerated by being examined, but the Jury thought her evidence indis pensably necessary. The first witness was a servant in the family. Han nah \\'ickins being sworn, stated tleat her master, the deceased, was a goldsmith and jeweller. On Friday eight, betieen nine and ten o'clock, her master came home. Ile Inid been out dining the whole Of the day. He meat out to breakfast in the morning. ' After he came home at night, he took supper with a Gentle man who had been waiting for him. After supper, he 'called to her to bring him some hot water, as he wished to take some salts, which he thought would remove a violent pain he felt in his stomach. She brought him sonic water, and she saw him Mix some rum and water, which was very weak. Ile used only part at the hot water to the rum, the rest remained in the jtig. She did not see him mix the salts. After be hat.: drank the rum and water he went to bed. About five o'clock the next morning she heard her mistress scream very violently, and being alarmed, she ran up stairs to see what was the matter, and saw her mistie.,s wringing her hands in the greatest distress. She saw her master lying on the floor at the foot of ' the be.l. She heard a kind of rattling in his throat ; he sighed once or twice, and then expired. There were no appearances in the room of his having been sick or unwell. Iler mistress immediately sent off i for a medical Gentleman. Examined by Jurrrs.—She saw that morning a paper containing something resembling ,alts. She did not notice the glass that was in her master's room. 'T he hot water she took to her master was for the purpose, as he said, of mixing salts. Mr. Ilurlock, the surgeon, came to her master. t On his arrival he aid that her master was quite dead ; and he took the paper of oxalic acid away with him. Mr. George Mason, surgeon, Skinner-street, stated, that he was called at hall-past five that morning, to attend the deceased, Mr. Goodwin. He found him dead. Ile had expired some time. His hands and fen were cold; He had been lying on the ground a (platter of an hour; and from the statement of Mrs. Lioodu in, he was of opinion that he died as soon as' he fell to the ground. He not been sick. From the appearance of the body at that time, he (witness) could not say what was the cause of his death. In less than half an hour afterwards he found in the de.. ceased's room, in a' paper, about an ounce of oxalic acid. The paper had been opened and folded again, and he thought, at first, part of the acid had been taken out. On looking at a glass in the room, an in crustation was found at the bottom of it; this was at first supposed by him to be sugar; and he thought that some person had been drinking spirits and water, and had put more sugar in than had dissolved; but, upon his tasting the sediment, he found that it was strongly impregnated with oxalic acid, and was very pungent. I.3esides the incrustation, there was about a spoonful of liquid in the glass, and he was sure that it was a solution of oxalic acid. The usual symp toms produced by taking oxalic acid are violent sic kne.s and sometimes the emitting of blood. He could not tell that the deceased had taken oxalic acid from the appearance of the lips; and he could not open the mouth, the teeth were closed so tightly. The body had been subsequently opened, and appeared in every respect healthy, except . the stomach, the inner coat' of which was completely destroyed. The appear ances of the stomach were such as would be caused by the taking of oxalic acid. The chemical agency of the poison had continued its effect after death upon the stomach, and reduced it to a black pulp; in fact, oxalic acid was so very subtile when swallowed, that . ks effects were the instant destruction of human life. Juror.--. -- purchased the oxalic acid for salts. CORONER.—Did the deceased wear boots with tops, as oxalic acid is used for cleaning boot-tops? • Brother of the deceased.—My brother did not wear boots with tops, and could have no use for oxalic acid. Coaoatart.—.-When such deleterious ingredients are sold, the word " poison" ought to be stamped or Written upon the paper by the vender. • Foreman.--I believe that the deceased purchased the oxalic acid for salts by mistake. CORONER.—Does any•person belonging to the de -ceased know how he became possessed of the poison? Brother of the deceased.—Not one of the family has any knowledge upon the subject. It is not known where it was purchased. Co ttos Elt.— Was any food remaining in the stomach? Surgeon—None, unless it was dissolved.by the acal with the coat of the stomach. He had never opened the body of a persoa before who had taken oxalic acid. Mr. George Hurlock, surgeon, St. Paul's Church yard, sworn. His opinion accorded entirely with Mr. Mason's evidence; he was present with him during the opening of the body. Ile thought at first the deceased had died of apoplexy, limn the fulness .of face; but won discovered the fatal cause on finding the acid. The paper in which the oxalic acid was found was not tied with a string. He should'think that no respectable chymist in London sold oxalic acid (since the melancholy affair in Gracechtirch street) without having the word on the paper denoting its contents. Ile found no solution of oxalic acid in the deceased's room, except a little in the glass. A small quantity of weak oxalic acid Mrs. Goodwin had for her own private use. CORONER —lt would be very desirable to discover where the oxalic acid was purchated by the deceased. Surgeon.—ln justice to the drug-trade generally, he hoped it would Le found out. No druggist or apothecary now would sell oxalic acid, or poisonous ingredients of any kind, without " poison" being written on the paper. Brother of the deceased.—The acid was purchased by my brother while he was out; it was a casual pur chase. Ile used frequently to purchase salts when he was from home, as he was constantly in the habit of taking them. Surgeon.—ln consequence of the fatal accidents that have taken peace by persons mistaking oxalic acid for salts, the sale of salts is greatly decreased, and if a person enters a druggist's shop now to pur . chase salts, he repeatedly inquires, 44 Are you sure what you have given me is real salts? are you sine it is not poison r Mr. Merton, a Gentleman who had for some years been a particular friend of the deceased, was exa mined as to the state of mind the deceased was in on Friday. Mr. Merton stated that he was in his com pany in the morning, and in the evening also, for more than an hour. In the morning- he complained of a pain in his stomach. CORONER.—That.seems to account in a great mea sure for his purchasing salts.' Witness.—He saw him in the evening, and he was then apparently in good health, and very cheerful.— He thought the deceased, at that time, appeared better and more lively than he had been lately. A Juror proposed that a member of Mr. Good win's family should be examined, as to whether the deceased had been distressed in his mind, or was in a desponding state, when Mr. Merton was not present to"witness, it : such evidence would elucidate the transaction. At present it appeared that the deceased had taken the poison for salts. The Jury, most of whom were respectable trades men in the neighbourhood, and were personally ac quainted with the.deceased, expressed their satisfac tion at the evidence that had been elicited, and they thought the evidence of Mrs. Goodwin, who was overwhelmed with grief at the melancholy catas trophe herself and family had sustained, might be entirely dispensed with. Juror.— Did the deceased, before he expired,. say of whom he purchased what he took to be salts ? Surgeon Hurlock.—Mrs. Goodwin • informed him that she was awoke by the groans of her husband in excessive pain, and that before she had time to call for assistance, he was speechless and dying ; there fore it was impossible he could have informed any one. The Conosett proceeded to sum up the evidence and to comment thereupon ; previously to which, he expressed his pleasure that the evidence of Mrs:l Goodwin was not thought necessary, for it was ins prorer that the feelings of a distressed person should be unnecessarily wounded. After the evidence of the Medical Gentlemen, no one present, in his *pi. nion, could doubt that the deceased's death was caused by his taking oxalic acid; and it was for the Jury to determine the question whether he had taken it knowing it to be a poison, or in mistake for Epsom salts. F.om the state of mind that the deceased was stated to be in on Friday night, it did not appear that he at that time har:asured in his bosom designs against his own life; and his calling for hot water, and saying' that it was for the purpose of mixing salts, was strong evidence to shew that he really thought the oxalic acid was salts; anal he thought there could be little doubt of his having purchased the noxious ingredient for Epsom salts. The Jury consulted for a short time, and returned a verdict—" Died. from taking oxalic acid in mistake for Epsom salts." It was proposed to add to the verdict, and which said oxalic acid was sold to the deceased by mistake for Epsom salts;" but the proposition was rejected, as no evidence that 'related to the purchase of the article had been brought forward. j o Monday, Mr. John Dry, eldest son of Mr. Dry, of St. Aldates, Oxford, whilst shooting in company with a friend, who was on the contrary side of the hedge to Mr. Dry, and who was beating the hedge with his gun, it went off and lodged the contents in the legs of Mr. Dry, who was obliged to be taken home in a cart. He is in a fair way oidoing well. ' He that has never known adversity is but half ac quainted with others or with himself._ Constant success shews us but one side of the world ;for, as it surrounds us with friends, who will telt us only our merits, so it silences those enemies from whom alone svc-can learn our defects.

Thy house, and (in the cup of life, That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife. SOCRATES, by hi, discoune on Marriage, so en raptured his auditor; with the subject, that the married men flew to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to be wedded; and " The Spectator" has affirmed, that the wen d " wife" is the most agreeable and delightful name in nature. The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the de sideratum of our enjoyment ; teeming not only with happiness on earth, but disposing the soul itself to harmonize with bliss hereafter. Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it becomes an imperative duty, not Only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such attention are attributable many of that hapless instances, which, while they excite the commiseration of the beholder, should also impress him with the fear of self reproach. Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence in the tropics will relax the.elastic fibre—but more especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the ago nized sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves, offering hope—energy—mus cular strength—felicity ; nor wi ll advances appear question. able, sanctioned as they are by the multiplied proofs of twenty yeah successful experience. The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath—for the female habit is often constitutionally weak— et it can be strengthened, and deficient energy improved into functional power. In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every re laxation of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to cure speedily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the unfeeling empyrie from the position so presumptuously taken op, we deviate from general principles with less hesltAtioni and confident in our own honourable integrity as Members of the College of Surgeons, we rifer the suffering community of either sex (especially those entering into matrimonial life) at once to our house, where daily attendance is given fur personal con. imitation; and letters from . the country are immediately an swered ; these must contain a remittance for Advice and Medi.. eine, which can be forwarded to any part of the world, how. ever distant.
