POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. John Gilbert was charged with forgery upon the London Joint Stock Bank. Mr. Tilson appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Humphreys for the prisoner. Mr. Tilson said that a gentleman named Orr had in a business transaction given his acceptance for 1101. to the prisoner, and that on the day that bill was due a forged bill, the• exact counterpart of it, was also presented for payment at the London Joint- Stock Bank. Mr. W. C. Boone, clerk in the London Joint- Stock Bank, said—On the 4th of Febrtary this bill (the forgery) was presented by the Union Bank, and paid to them in their usual change. The bill pur ports to be dated the Ist of December, 1851, and to be drawn by John Gilbert and Co. and accepted " at the London Joint-Stock Bank, W. S. Orr and C 0.," payable two months after date. Mr. George Davis, commission agent,. Rail way place, Fenchurch-street, said—l know the prisoner. I received from him, on the 9th of December, this (the forged) bill. e asked me to discount it that day. I 'did so. I gave him a cheque for 1071. 10s. on the Union Benk of London. On the 3d of Feb., the day before the bill was due, he came to my pri vate residence with 1101. in bank notes to pay the bill on the following day. I told him I would do so. I afterwards saw him at three o'clock on the 4th of February. He called to know if I bad taken the bill up. I told him he .bad better go with me down to the Union Bank. I had left the money there in the morning. He went with me to the Union Bank, and the clerk who has charge of the bills there stated to me in the prisoner's presence that the bill bad been paid by the Joint Stock Bank, and he handed me the money I bad left with him to take it up, which money I then gave to the prisoner. Mr. W. S. Orr, of Amen-corner, Paternoster-row, bookseller and publisher, said—l am acquainted with the prisoner. Previously to the month of May he put up a hydraulic press for me ; it was to be a long credit; I understood it to be nine months. He asked me to give him my acceptance of a shorter date. The understanding was, that when the bill became due he was to renew the whole or any part of it, as I might request. When the bill became due I asked him to renew about 1001. of it. On the morning of the 2d of December I received from him by post his draft for 1101. It was entered on the back, and I returned it by post accepted by me the same day. This (pointing to the genuine bill) is the bill. I only gave him one acceptance for 1101; This (pointing to the forged bill) is not my acceptance, nor was it written by my authority. I never authorised any one to ac cept a bill for me. Cross-examined by Mr. Humphreys—The original bill was a six months' bill, drawn in May and due in December, for 1801. 3.. 3d. There had been previ ous transactions between us. He had put up a steam engine for me. I had not been acquainted with him long, but I am bound to say that up to the present transaction his conduct had been most exemplary. He was a most intelligent and able engineer. For the 1101. renewal I received a cheque for 1051. The other 51. was deducted in consequence of a running account bet ween us. I have been in communication with the bankers since, and I know now that the money for the 1101. bill was paid into the London and Joint-Steck B Ank to my account, in the name of Gilbert. It is so stated in the bank-book. I did not discover that the 110/. had been paid in until last Saturday evening, and then I found it had been paid in on the 4th inst. Mr. C. R. H. Wessell, clerk at the Union Bank, said—The bill produced (the forged acceptance) is the one for which our bank obtained payment from the London Joint Stock Bank. The bill was paid into our bank by Mr. Davis, of Railway-place, Fen chutch—treet. Mr. Humphreys submitted that, although there was no possibility of denying that there had been great irregularity upon the part of the unfortunate gentle man at the bar in the transaction, there could not have been the least intention of fraud, as the prisoner bad paid in the money to stop the bill at the Union Batik before it could have reached the Joint Stock Bank. Mr: 'Filson said it was the determination of the establishment he represented to prosecute, and that there could be no doubt of the commission of the act with which tbe prisoner was charged. Alderman CUBITT did not believe that the prisoner had"any intention to defraud the; Bank, but"-the nia-* gi , trate had no alternative in the case. It was well known that extensive frauds had frequently had their commencement in similar transactions, and it was his duty to send the case before another tribunal. The prisoner, upon being asked whether it was his wish to say anything, replied I am quite innocent of any fraudulent intention whatever.—Committed for trial. GUILDHALL. William Southwell, mate of the brig Petrel, was brought up for further examination before Alderman Humphery and Sir Peter Laurie, on the charge of assaniting James Harman Crisp, a cab driver, by ca sting him wilf u lly i n t o the River Th am es. This case was r eman d e d from l ast we ek for the attendance of the principal witness for the prosecu tion, who, the been suborned by th e pr i soner and hi s friends, but Court was g i ven to understand, had. having been summoned, he now appeared and was re-examined. William Joyce, in answer to the Alderman, said he understood the cabman had settled the matter out of court, and was to receive 51. by way of compensa don for the . , i n j ury h e had sustained. Witness accordingly went ou t t o d r i n k w i th t h e ca ptain of the brig, who then g i ve bi m ( w i tness ) a sovereign for himself to induc e hi m t o k eep out o f t h e w ay. Not feeling in a stat e t o give evid ence a ft e r what he had drank, he took the sovere i gn an d went awa y. It was the captain who sto o d t rea t. Aldermen HUMPHREY remarked that on the last occasion tha captain swore that he had not treated the witness to any drink, neither had he been instrumen tal in preventing his appearance in court. The captain here stated,he was not sworn on the day of the remind, for he never touched the book. Alderman HUMPHREY said if he did not touch the book when the oath was administered; that trick was too common to save him from an indictment for perjury if he swore falsely. He then ordered the captain into the witness-box. Benjamin Theater, the captain of the brig, having been sworn, admitted that he treated the witness Joyce to a pint of beer, and also that he gave him a ' sovereign, but explained that it was at the urgent ad vice of the witness's friends and the concurrence of the prisoner, whose money it was. He gave nothing out of his own pocket, but paid the money on the prisoner's account out of what was due to him. He further added that the witness then said, the " old cabman might go and be d—d for what he cared." Alderman HIIMPHERT said the captain had now c3ntradieted on oath all that he had previously stated, and the only excuse he made for telling all these lies was that he was not sworn. The witness Joyce here said that when he received the sovereign, Alexander Reed, the pugilist, and a map know as a hanger-on, were with him, and said they were to have ss. each out of the money. Joyce said he did not want it, as be was sure he should be obliged to come up here again.; he, however, gave them 7s. each, and spent the rest. The captain main 'asserted the money was not his own. Sir P. LAURIE said it did not signify whether the money belonged to the captain or any one else, as he Was the party who gave the money to the witness to defeat bad had a very narrow escape, and if the case had The unfortunate cabman rested with him instead of Alderman Humphery, he would have indicted the captain with the prisoner. Alderman HUMMIERY said that was his opinion on the last examination, but the absence of the witness Joyce rendered it absolutely necessary to remand the case. It was a very serious matter, and no man under such circumstances would have trifled with the law in a° letter's tfcommitatuhye the manner the captain had done if be were innocent t oisa b innu e eersfoiriin transaction . t4eroiawl 401. to tuo al nd l a i d, p e phi nesoandwrio.ceutvl however, therefore, ackaep ttahine The case was then remanded till Saturday for the and the cabin-boy, • prepared, and the witnesses, Joyce evidence at the trial.

SOUTHWARK. • Yesterday Daniel Sullivan, a rough, powerful looking fellow, was placed at the bar for re-examina- Moo, charged with a violent attack on Mr: George Harris, and robbing him of a valuable gold watch. The complainant said th at h e lived on his property , and that on Saturday ni g h t l ast he went w i th hi s brother to a house in George- s t reet, S ou th wa rk, to witness a " set-to " betwe'en two pugilists.

The adjourned, meeting of the shareholders of the above company was held yesterday, at the Nine Elms station, for the purpose of receiving the report of the scrutineers appointed at the previous meeting to take the votes on the election of three directors in the place of Mr. Lacey, 3,117,, Mr. Scott , M.P., and M r . Reed, wh o h a d o ff ere d themselves for re - election. Mr. Smith (th e d eputy - c hairman of the London and North- W es t ern R a il w ay Company) presided. The three candidates nominated in opposition to the retiri ng can did a t e s are Mr. Sergeant Gazelee, Mr. Helps (barrister), and Mr. Mortimer (stock broker). The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the day, said he regretted to hear that objections had been made by both the scrutineers to the votes that had been taken. The objections in question were of a technical character, and it therefore had been thought right by the board to obtain the assistance of a gen tleman of legal eminence (Mr. Lloyd) for the pur- ' p o se of guiding him (the Chairman) in his decision respecting the votes that had been objected to. Per haps the most convenient mode of proceeding would be, for the secretary to read the number of votes re corded for the respective candidates, though any of such v o t es would of course be subject to being struck off if the objections to them were found to be valid. To this it was observed that the scrutineers—one of whom, viz., the gentleman chosen by the directors, was stated to h o ld an appointment under the com pany's solicitor—had not made any report. It was stated that the scrutineer on the part of the new can didates made objections. to certain votes, but that the directors' scrutineer ',nisi' of opinion that suola Alitipeci tions were net • within th e prov i nce of scrutineers ; that the first-m en ti one d scrut i neer d es ired to call in counsel oottowitdheicoidet-hewheeotohpeer of f uc th h e objections eerotjoeer w e ereor wereduty, but that the directors' scrutineer refused to agree to such a course, and that it was only the latter scruti neer who had l oo k e d at t h e number of votes reco rd e d. The scrutineer on th e part of the directors a ffirmed that he did not r e f use t o of an assessor ; but that the consent to the appointment of on the part of the, new candidates declined to ntment what the points were that he shouldsubmit state . „ an .

The fourteenth half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders in the Whitehaven Junction Railway was held on Saturday last, in the Savings' Bank, Low ther-street, Whitehaven, the Earl of Lonsdale, chair man of the board of directors, presiding. It appears from the report that the receipts of the company for the half-year have amounted to 5,9071. Os. Bd., and the expenditure 2,9511. 6s. 3d. The balance in the profit and loss account available for a dividend is 1,1131.25. 6d., and it was proposed to divide 4s. per share, which would leave a sum of 1131. 2s. 6d. to be carried to the credit of the next account. The report was adopted and carried. A dividend of 4s. per share (less income-tax) was 'declared for the half-year ending 31st December, 1851. AIRDRIE AND BATHGATE. The usual half-yearly meeting of this company was held•on Tuesday, in the Star Hotel. Mr. P. Black burne in the chair. A report for the. previous half-year (there not having been then a quorum present) was submitted, from which it appeared that the balance in hand at that date was 6,7711., and that the sum of 1,1961. was recommended to be paid to the shareholders as in terest, at the rate of 4 per cent. In the last half yearly report the directors also recommended an ap plication for the dissolution of the company. The report was approved of, Mr. LAMONT', for himself and Mr. J. Ewing, dissenting and protesting. The SECRETARY (Mr. Watkins) then read the re port for the half-year just ended, which showed that the balance in band was 6,8801., from which it was recommended to make a payment of 1,1961. to the shareholders as interest. The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, which, having been seconded, Mr. J. EWING, seconded by Mr. LAMOND, moved as an amendment, that the report be not approved of; but on it being put to the vote the amendment was negatived. On the motion of the CHAMIAN, the retiring directors were re=elected. Mr. LAMOND called attention to a clause in a Bill now being promoted by the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company, which, if passed, would relieve them of the whole of their obligations to this com pany ; and moved, that the directors be instructed to petition against the insertion of the clause, and that the necessary steps be taken to have it expunged. Mr. EWING seconded the motion. • The CHAIRMAN, on the ground that no notice bad been given of the motion, declined to put it to the meeting, against which Mr. Lamond protested for himself and others. SPECIAL MEETING. The shareholders then resolved themselves into a hpeclal meeting, for the purpose of considering and determining whether application should be made to the Railway Commissioners for power to abandon the railway. The CHAIRMAN moved that application be made in the usual way to the Commissioners for the purpose of dissolving the company ; which motion having been seconded, _ . Mr. LAMoND, seconded by Mr. EwING, moved that no such application be made. Scrutineers were then appointed to ascertain the number of shareholders who had signified their ap proval of the proposal, and those who had disapproved of it, when it was found that 11,310 were favout able! and 530 adverse to the winding up of the company. The CHAIRMAN then declared that three-fifths of the shareholders had given their assent to the appli• cation. The meeting afterwards adjourned. EASTERN UNION. .4. meeting of shareholders of the above company was held on Tuesday at Radley's Hotel, Bridge-street, BlaCkfriars, for the purpose of having laid before them the report of the committee of proprietors appointed in August last to confer with the directors concerning, and to investigate, the affairs of the undertaking. Mr. Holt was in the chair. The advertisement by which the meeting bad been convened having been read,. Mr. STIIRGB (of Birmingham), one of the com mittee, presented the report, the reading o f w hi c h occupied nearly two hours. It contained a rev i ew o f such of the past transactions of the company as were necessary to a clear understanding of tee causes which have led to its present unhappy position, and which require to be considered in devising means to extricate the company from its present difficul ties; the proceedings of the committee, showing the inquiries they have made into several matters, with their remarks thereon ; the present state of the en.; gagements and obligations of the company, and the measures available towards meeting the same, and what further amount is required to rescue the com pany from the wasteful consequences of law proceedings by which the directors are harassed; remarks on a Bill now before Parliament for raising money and altering the present existing rights of preference shareholders, and a consideration whether it would not be for the advantage of the cotnpany that the number of the directors be reduced, and especially to provide that all general half-yearly and 'special general meetings be held in London. The report referred to the origin of the company, pointing out the sort of "family party" by whom a line of a few miles in length had been bound up with various other schemes ; and touched upon some apparently objectionable share matters, with which it would seem several of the negotiations of the directors had been connected. It was also stated that one of the direc tors had transferred upwards of two hundred shares, subject to considerable calls, ,to a person who is not to be found. The committee had submitted nume rous questions to the directors, who, by the advice of counsel, declined to give " categorical" answers to them ; but at an interview between the board and the committee answers of a general character, but not at all of a satisfactory character, had been__ e verbally returned to some of such questions. The debts of the company were estimate d by t heurepourt_ at 348,361/. On the credit side w as the .suetm t he 84,7351., leaving a balance of 263,526 t. aga coMpany. In addition to this there i s t h e t sum of 46,000/. arrears of interest on the ten per cent. pre ference shares, making the total balance against the company 394,3611.

PORTSMOVTIt, FEB. 13.—Last night, at 9 "o'clock, a Dutch barque, the Jacobus, Captain Kolff, from . Rotterdam to Batavia, and the schooner 'Hope, of Brixham, got into Collision off St. Katherine's, Isle of Wight, and the conscluences were so serious as to render it necessary for the schooner to•be immedi ately abandoned. Her crew, consequently, • took re fuge on board the Jacobus, and there appeared little prospect of the Hope floating any length of time. The Jacobus put into St. Helen'sßoads in the night, with her larboard bow stove in loss of jibb oon , and other damage. "''From her disabled state, and the wind blowing strong from -the north-north-west, it was necessary to send assistance ' to her to bring her into harbour immediately, and one of, the Isle of Wight steamers Was sent but tuber, but - she bad not sufficient power to tow her against the strong wind blowing at the time. - Application being then made to the Commander-in'-Chief, Admiral 'Sir T. 'Briggs, he ordered the dockyard steam-tug Echo to gO to the assistance of the barque, and by her she , veil§ brought into harbour this afternoon to undergo repairs. Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs, G.C.M.pr., Comman - der-in-Chief,. left this port this morning on leave of absence for a few days. His flag was struck -.on board the Victory at sunset on Tuesday evening. The Fairy steam-yacht, Master-Commander Weloh, has been removed from the steam basin to-day, ready for the reeePtion of her Majeity on the 6th proximo. 7 BOTAL MARLIN). The retirement on _pay .

When completed the Windsor Castle will be - the largest man-of-war in the British navy, and capable of carrying 140 guns, thus being equal in her armament to the French *Palmy, which is armed with the same number of guns. The Mar tello tower now in course of erection at the Stack Rock, gibe entrance of the harbour, has been consi derably delayed in its progress, in consequence of the late severe gales, which caused considerable damage to the machinery and works. So violent has the weather been that for several days all communication with the main land was cut off, and the workmen thus isolated suffered severely, the waves. breaking over the rock. The various Martell° towers, erected for the defence of the arsenal, are at lergth being placed in a proper state to repel an attack, the de tachment of Royal Artillery having been busily engaged in mounting the guns..• The western battery at the Dockyard, which was likewise in a most inde fensible condition, is also to be mounted with new artillery; the present guns-19 in number:—laaving, on inspection, been 'found inefficient for the defence of the establishment.

Sturge, Bagshawe, and Smith, be a committee, with power to negotiate with the Eastern Counties Com pany for a lease of the Eastern Union Railway to that company, subject to the approval of a special meeting of the company." Mr. FISHER thought that the only course for them to pursue was to go to the Eastern Counties Company and to come to some fair and honourable terms with them. Mr. STEAD was of opinion that the Eastern Counties Company were prepared to receive them upon ami cable and fair terms ; and he had no doubt that the result of such an arrangement would be to enable the Eastern Union Company to raise the requisite funds on reasonable terms, Mr. BROWNE said the affairs of the company had been grossly mismanaged, and as four of the directors would retire by rotation at the ensuing meeting, he hoped the shareholders would not re-elect them. If they did they would deserve no better success in their affairs than had hitherto attended them. After some observations from Mr. Muskett, Mr. Sturge, Dr. Barker, and Mr. Hovendon, the resolu tion proposed by Mr. Marriott was modified to the effect that Messrs. Browne, Underwood, Holt, Hardy, Fisher, and Smith, be appointed a committee toliscer tain whether the Eastern Counties Conipany were willing to 'enter into negotiations for a lease of the Eastern Union Railway, subject to the approval of a special meeting of this company, and to consult with the directors on the subject: ._ The motion was put and carried. Resolutions were also passed to the effect that the directors be requested not to apply the funds of the shareholders to the expense of proxies on the question of re-electing the Miring directors ; that the meeting be adjourned to the 26th inst., to receive the report of the committee ; and that the best thanks of the meeting be given to Mr. Sturge and his colleagues for their report on the affairs of the company. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK.

HEALTHOF LONDON DURING THE WEEK (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The mortality of London, which rose to 1,100 deaths in the first few weeks of the year, has gradu ally declined, and in the week ending last Saturday the number was only 970. Toking the ten corre sponding weeks of '1842-51, it appears that last week's amount was less than previous returns in six instances, and greater in four, and that the average of corre sponding weeks was 1,048. If this average be cor rected for increase of population it becomes 1,153, compared with which the present return shows a de crease of 183. The mortality from diseases of the respiratory or gans exhibits a trifling increase on that of the pre vious week, but is still considerably below the ave rage; the number of fatal cases last week having been 185, while in, corresponding weeks of the less five years they ranged from 199 to 330. In the tu bercular class the deaths from phthisis or consumption were in the previous week 147, in the last they were 122, which latter amount is also below the average. The total number of cases ascribed to zymotic or epidemic diseases was in the previous week 201; it is now 191. Of the latter sum 29 (about the same as the former week) are referred to small-pox, 9to measles, 30 to roarlatina, 33 to hooping-cougla 3 to croup, 3 to thrush, 22 to diarrhoea, 3 to dysentery, 3 to cholera, 4 to influenza, 42 to typhus . and ot her fever, 7 to erysipelas, and 3 to syphilis.
