POLICE INTEI.LIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Roberts, of Bridgewater -square, Barbican, she was attacked with an inflammatory illness, which com pelled her to go to St. Bartholomew's Hospital for its removal. On Wednesday week last, being de clared convalescent, she was discharged, and an other servant, owing to her absence, having been hired to fill her situation, she went to lodge with the prisoner's sister, whom she had known from her occasionally charing for her master's family. On Monday last she and the landlady of the house spent the day at the house of a second sister of the pri soner's, at West Ham, and there met the prisoner, who, during the evening, paid same attention to her (the prosecutrix), and on leaving there, about nine o'clock, accompanied the party to town. On their return the prisoner's sister and her landlady went first, and the prosecutrix and the prisoner followed them at a short distance in the tear. When they arrived about half-way towards Stratford, the pri soner pointed out to her a lane off the road side, which he told her was the shortest road. She, not distrusting• what he said, accompanied him up it, and as they arrived at a gate, he pushed her against it, and made her some very indecent proposals, which she repulsed as well ;Is her strength would permit. This did not discourage him, and he proceeded to personal violence—and, notwithstanding her utmost effors and resistance, he ultimately accomplished his object to the fullest extent.

Elizabeth Linton, the wife of a journeyman book binder, was charged with threatening to do some gr:evous bodily harm to her husband. Mr. Welch,of No. 14, Addle-hill, Thames street, her landlord, deposed, that on Saturd.iy he heard from his wife that the prisoner had taken a table-knife to bed with her, for the impose of doing some injury to her husband. By his direction his wife and another female endeavoured to persuade her to abandon her design, but she was immove able; and, it being then nine o'clock, he fetched in a watchman to alarm her. She, however, locked herself in, and as the husband determined on sleep ing with a lodger above stairs, and there was no probability of mischief ensuing, the watchman was sent away without having forced the door. Be tween one and two o'clock in the morning the p► . soner went to the lodger's room and demanded her husband, but being denied admittance, she went away, saying she Would have "a bonny fire." She immediately lit a rousinglire that would have roasted any goose in half an hour, and shortly after smoke was observed ascending the staircase. -The—female who .discovered this screamed out "Murder and Fire ;" and it was found that the stairs had been set on fire by putting some lighted oil rags upon them. They were but slightly scorched, and while the wit ness was looking for the watchman, the prisoner endeavoured to scrape and wipe off the marks. She had accounted for the circumstance by saying she was making tinder.

In reply to the questions of the Magistrates, the prosecutrix said, that the prisoner, though he had been drinking, was by no means tipsy. She was quite sober herself, and the reason that her outcries were not heard at a greater distance was, that the prisoner covered her mouth, and prevented her ut terance.

The Isothermal Chart exhibits the Climate of different Regions, as determined by Thertnotnetrical Observation, with their most important productions, and presents a striking illus tration of the diversity existing in the same Latitudes ac cording to the situation of Countries. In the Moral and Political Chart, the outlines of each country contain a number, ahowing its population, and several emblems indicating its Government, Religion. and State of Civilization, and forms, in effect, a Moral Picture of the World.

CAUTION TO DRUNKA RDS.--A few clays ago, an elderly female, in a state of intoxication, went into the spirit vaults of Mr. l 3 OAnnM,ue, in this town, and called for a glass of brandy, When, in the act of put ting the vessel to her mouth, she reeled back, and was in stantly stretched on the floor a corpse! An inquest was held on the body by Mr. MiLzar, and the Jury returned a verdict of died in a fit brought on by excessive drinking.— Aranchestcr „Advertiser. BOW-STREET, Yesterday a man named Samuel Cottrell was Drought in custody to this office by Buckle, a con stable of St. Luke's parish, charged upon suspicion of having been concerned in the burglary committed at the house of the Rev. W. Warrington, at West Moulsey, in November last. The prisoner, who declared his entire innocence of the charge, was remanded. HATTON-GARDEN Hazoke Badnell, a master tailor, residing in Cleveland-street, was brought up by the parish officers of St. Pancras, on a charge of deserting his wife and leaving her chargeable to the parish. The defendant's wife, a young woman of prepos sessing appearance, stated, that about seven months ago, -in consequence of her husband's cruel treatment to her, from the effects of which she teas still suffer- ing under bodily infirmities, she was obliged to leave him and go into an hospital. IL 2 , liied her the common necessaries of life, and, being habitually ad dicted to liquor, whenever he was drunk would heat her shockingly. When she came out of the hospi tal she was fearful of again living with him, and took up her abode with her mother, by whom she was supported until within the last six weeks, dur ing which she subsisted upon parish relief. Mr. LAING asked the defendant what he had to say to the complaint. The defendant was out of business, and lived with his friends at Peckham-ryr. He wished his wife to return home, and he would do all in his power to maintain her. The wife would not take his word, and dreaded his violence. The officers said there was no dependence to be placed on the word of the defendant, and the Ma gistrate committed him to the House of Correction 'r one month. His wife was removed from the office in hysterics, occasioned by the delicate state of health to which she was reduced. Yesterday three stout stable-men, in the employ of Mr. Bailey, of Pentonville, were charged with the following extraordinary outrage and assault upon William Spears, a cabriolet-driver . - The prosecutor stated that, on Saturday night last, he returned to the above stables, where he was employed, to deliver up the profits of his day's work, when the prisoners made an attack upon him, and challenged him to fight. He was obliged to do so for his own protection; and, after a few rounds, they seized on him in a most violent manner, and dragged him to a horse-pond, where they ducked him two or three times. Mr. LAING—What was the cause of all this Witness—l took home 145., which was all I earned, and the stable-keepers, thinking that I had earned more and had pocketed it, ill-used me. A voice—He is a ree lar tricker, your Worship. Mr. LAING —I have not the honour to be ac quainted with the term. What is its meaning ? A stout personage, who represented himself as fore man over the stable-men—Vy,a cheat, your IVu,ship —this ere man there goes out with a cab (cabriolet), and, if he doesn't bring back 28s. in a sartain given time, they say they're done, tricked, or cheated. Now, I nose he yarned more on Saturday night, and he only brought Hs., and directly lie made his ap pearance he was told not to enter, or he would get a hiding ; but he would, and he did. Mr. LAING asked if he was at the horse pond ceremony ?—No, I vasu't there ; but he desarved what he got for his blackguard language. Another witness proved that the prosecutor gave the first challenge to fight ; and, knowing him to be a cheat, ye ducked him, your Honour. Mr. LAING requested to know what sort of a ducking? Witness (coolly, with his hands in his pockets)—We only dipped his head in three times, your Honour.---(A laugh.) Several other witnesses proved, beyond a doubt, that the prosecutor bad, misconducted himself; and the Magistrate ordered the prisoners to pay three shillings each, and he discharged. QUEEN-SQUARE. _ . Yesterday a young man, who stated himself to be a painter and glazier, at Knightsbridge, entered the office, arid addressing the sitting Magisti ate, Mr, MARRIOTT, said he wanted a summons against one of the Royal Family, for work and labour done, Mr. MARRIOTT inquired who he wanted a sum mons against ? The painter wanted a summons against her Royal Highness the Princess Olive of Cumberland, for painting her house at No. 1, Park row, Mills-buildings, Knightsbridge ; he had been recommended to work for her, and his bill was 51. 163. 6d., and not one farthing could he get of it. Mr. MARRIOTT—RoyaI Highness Nonsense, man. I wish you joy of your customer; but the case does not come under my jurisdiction. " Then I'm done," replied the painter. " I understood her Royal Highness would pay me ready money when I finished my work : instead of that, she gave me a bill at 16 days for the amount ; and now the bill is due, she says she cannot pay it." " I cannot assist you," replied the Magistrate. "It is very hard," said the painter, I should lose my hard earning., and I have ►tot the means to go to law. All the money I have had from her was 9s. the other day, when 1 pressed her very hard, and her Royal Highness gave me a pair of blankets to pawn for Os." Mr. MARRIOTT again told the painter he could not assist him, arid he left the office in a very sorrow ful mood. LAMBETH-STREET. Michael Sal lima, a labouring man, was charged with having violated the person of Eliz Lbeth But terfield.—The prosecutrix, a decent and innocent looking girl, of about 18 years of age, said, that about twu months since, while in the service of Mr. Mr. New, a surgeon, who had examined the fe male, spoke to the violence she had sustained, and gave it as his opinion that the capital offence had been perpetrated. The MAGISTRATES asked why it was that the in quiry had been allowed to stand over for near a week, without any communication having been made to the office Y--Christian, the constable, re p!ied, that on the night when the offence wa3 com mitted, the prosecutrix informed him of it. He had ever since been in search of the prisoner, but it was only on tie night before that he was enabled to se• cure him. The inquiry was postponed till this day. LONDON SESSIONS, SEPT. 21. Margaret Alfredius, a pretty-looking woman, aged 30, was indicted for committing a violent assault upon Alfred Alfrediu.:, her lawful husband. Mr. C. PHILLIPS, for the prosecution, was sorry to say that the defendant, under the mask of an agreeable countenance, possessed a most virulent disposition, and so violent was her temper that his client absolutely apprehended that his life was in danger. The Learned Counsel held some letters in his hand, which were a kind of accounts current, which he hoped were not very common documents, for it was a statement of which party gave the most black eyes. The present letter began thus— " My dear D,vil,—You forget that you sent me to finish my education, but you never paid the shot money (a fee paid on entrance into the Compter.) Depend upon it I will not forget to pay you as many black eyes as you gave me. I well know you, and will reckon with you by and-by, and then I shall see bow we stand. From your wife " MARGARET." The next epistle ran thus— " Devil Dick,—When it comes to my turn to come out, you must look sharp, for I will keep you from the company of the la4y whom you walk with in Hackney road. I will put a knife into you when I come out. This is from your wife " MARGARET." Mr. C. PHILLIPS, addressing the prosecutor— " Your name is Alfred Alfredius, Sir ?"—" No, it is not," said the prisoner; " his name is Richard Collins; and I am his lawful wife." The prosecutor explained that he had assumed tie fortvier name, and used it for four years. He then described the treatment he had met with from his wife in July last, in Throgmorton-street, when she threw mud in his face, and beat him with her shoe. He said he separated from her seven years ago. A ticket-porter of the name of Itosoman described the conduct of the defendant to be most violent, and the officer who apprehended her stated her to have said, " I'll run a knife into him. I don't mind being hanged for him : I shall not suffer long." The prisoner entered into a long defence, which she couched in very good language, and complained that she was forsaken by her husband, who, although well off in the world, had only allowed her 6s. since the 14th of April, when they separated; he had used her very ill, and debarred her from seeing her child; they had been married 14 years, and she had borne him five fine children. The Jury reluctantly found the prisoner Guilty, and she was ordered to pay a flue of Is. The hus band was admonished to maintain his wife. PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 19. It is with sincere regret we communicate the fol lowing fatal event which took place in the Sound last Thursday evening, and has plunged the relations of the unhappy sufferers in the deepest affliction. A boat having gone from the shore for the purpose of conveying some wine on board the Britannia, 120 guns, lying in the Sound, with a Custom-house officer, named Oxlen, and two watermen, named Jope and Markem, arrived alongsid e w ith h er cargo , which, being discharged, the boat was about to re turn, when Mr. Barker, a Midshipman, with Me3srt, , , Curgenven, Cummings, and Scott, clerks i 110 two or three others, 'engaged w;th the watermen to take them aslinre. It was at this time nearly seven o'clock, and I;lowing fresh, with a heavy swell from the S.W. The party named hav ing seated themselves in the goat, another was coming down the neeomniodation,ladder to join them, when a heavy swell carried the boat under the ladder, and the ship rolling heavily at the same time, the ladder struck the gunwale of the boat, which it instantly upset, plunging the a+ole of the party into the sea, wi.h the exception of Marketn, who was holding on the ladder, to which h,e clung after the boat went down, The alarm being instantly given, Lieutenant Haw thorns with Mr. Carrol, the Second Master, Mr. Hughes, Midshipman, and one seaman, got into a small gig, and succeeded, after much exertion, in picking up Messrs. Curgenven, Barker, Cummings, Scott, and the Custom-house officer (Jope vent to the bottom, the body has not been pielied I,lp yet), arly by a t w h n l i d ' s o t t i h N m 'e e d o vreNie•niafett rix her e ing very tempestuo us, B they w ere h a strong ottrrent setting up the harbour, obliged to steer for Plymouth, at the imminent ha zard of being swamped by a heavy sea, 'o hich broke continually over - them, and nearly filled the boat with water. Medic.l assistance was procured for tb. - i ;' sufferers as soon as they landed, but although it was but twenty minutes after the accident, and all the usual methods of resuscitation were 'seditiously employed by Messrs. ilalrly and . loberts, their Worts to re cover INksSrs. Curgenveu an d C urntn i ngs proved in vain, life having fled before they reached the shore; with the others, happily, they were more successful. Mr. Curg enven , we regret to a dd, has left a widp ix and five children to deplore his loss, and Mc, Cum. mings a widow and six children ; ATr a widow and three children. , 7' (From the Jo urna l d es ' MM.

Objects of general terror, Lilo' -- grk,;,lL, however, nothing but contempt, ainigliWklit: tit days more they will be received with hootings. They have carried to the Ministry a cettain cha racter for determination and boldness, which in France is something.. They do not wish to bear the ridicule of it : the only advantage which is wanting to their life. To escape from this difficult situation, an act of policy is necessary ; not such an act of policy as is prepared in the Master of the Rolls' office, a process-verbal sealed with wax ; but a counter revolution—rude, wild, and violent. Such, however, can neither be the interest nor the passions of their other colleagues. Without doubt they would also re joice in a counter-revolution ; but gradually, by corruption and deceit. They are afraid to at tack the lion in front, and ready for combat. To surprise him, and slay him whilst asleep, ap pears to them more prudent. All who are ac quainted with their characters know this ; and we will try to make them known to all the world. Then comes M. de Polignac. M. de Polig nac is one of those men of whom it may justly • be said that they have not two ideas. Ile has but one, and that is—aristocracy. He would do for that what Richelieu has done against it, if he were a Richelieu. He dreams of enriching it by honours, and by places, and by causing the greater part of the representative power to pass to the Chamber of Peers. Conceive a Jacobite Tory in full purity, and you have M. de Polig nac. Be assured, that he feels at least as ranch repugnance towards M. Olivier, or Cesar Lapa nouze, those Peers of the Counter, as for the most vehement deputy of the left. But M. de Polignac, although he has not much imagination, understands that to disturb the country—that is to say, property—is not the way to strengthen the aristocracy ; that, yet in its childhood, it requires to be nourished with sine cures, and fattened upon the fortunes of vain citizens. Add to this, that his whole existence is devoted to the Crown. Restrained by an exalted friendship, he fears to commit to inevit able perils those interests which are precious to , him. He is also aware that, at the moment or difficulty, he would not be able to find sufficient resources in himself to meet the danger. With this mixture of aristocrati c f ear and devotion to royalty, he could not long continue in accord ance with M. de Bounnont and de la Bourdon naye--men who have nothing to compromise., and who are devoted to nothing but their politi cal hatreds. A separation therefore took place, as the Minister of the Interior, in order to try his hand, was desirous of signing an order for the destitution of 20 Prefects, M. de Polignac would have granted one or two ; for example, this penitent emigrant, or that liberal Protestant, who were obstinate in their departments ; b ut 22 !to alarm 20 provinces. That could not be. Thus the men who talked of nothing else but of changing the face of the State, have retreated before a revolution of Prefects. To M. de Polignac, the timid and involuntary representative of moderation, have united them selves, as was perfectly proper, M. de Chabrol, M. de Courvoisier, M. de Monate], and M. d'Haussez. Let us begin with M. de Chabrol. It can not be but that you have had connexion with some administration,prefecture, direction-general, or ministry. Of necessity you must have met there with a Chabrol. Well, at least, you know what to expect from our Minister of Finane ; for of all the families which people the globe, the family of the Chabrols is most like itself, the most identical. A Chabrol is what is called a good administrator. He conducts his aflifirs honestly, but always at the public expense. In dustrious, he does not allow a single paper to be in arrear, a letter to he unanswered, a petition to be unacknowledged. The Cardinal Dubois answered such documents by the use of fire, MM. de Chabrol by the use of ink. If the re sultr tri dispositioneacrte very far INit.ln,ddet.eiteaosfAririfiarilanoerytymi,itigeillilt:ealaaimvecl is often the same, it mai at least be granted azes, M. de Villele, olignac, all is one to that they are more polite. d affairs, they do conduct affairs, and ccm f; olg o ill.. : N ad N (dti 7 iieel i t o t e l i t i tpc e : e they will conduct affhirs, whatever may he the general system. They weave their administra tive tissue as the silk-worm spins its web, with out looking to the right or left, With this in dividuality in affairs, it is natural to think that they ought to have a honor of acts of state, for an act of state is diaorder in the bureaus, confu sion in the ()Oleo, wad chaos among the clerks. Thug tie cs the Finance has quickly arranged, Wins& according to the advice of M. de nac. Already he foresaw a responsibility with out rule, of the arrears, o f the deficits, o f t h e services in sufferance,—perhaps, of' the inter rupted correspondences. Lastly.. he gives his vote for the peac e o f the int-crjor, in order th at the Administration ma" goon as a manufacturer desires peac e in thq "East, to have ther e a mar k et for his bales. wishing f or mo d erat i on, s i ts M . de Courvoisier. At the side o f M. d e Ch a b rol, and like hi m, I know all that has been said of him, and all that is still said of him ; but parties always ex- Itimerate, M. de Courvoisier has neither more or less argument or eloquence that; he had in 1818. Few ideas under many wwds, such was then M. de Courvoisier; such ahe to-day. He has not changed. WLEtt has given rise to very singular reports that he is affli c t e d b y a ki n d of monomania, lie wishes to be absolutely of the leA centre. Do not object that he is in a Ministry of system and not as coalition. Th ey are lost wo r d s , " I am a the left centre," he intrepidly replies. Lastly, he sits betwecn MM. Royer Collard and 'l'ernaux, and it is some fashion as awls colleague that he has declared him self au,inst MM. Bourmont and la Bour.ionnaye. With respect to M. de Montbel t h e i s only there to r e p resen t M. d e Villele His master has sent him to the Council,. as petty princes, who pres erve hereditary 1 - , - fotensions to a fall en Crown, send to every Cc vess a modest Ambas sador to protest in tavour of their rights, Who i s called an Amlimsador ad referendum to report.
