POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day BOW-STREET. Elizabeth Staymaker was placed before Yr. Vaughan charged with robbing her father. The prosecutor said he was a coster in Covent-garden, and the prisoner was unfortunately his daughter. He had tried everything to make her change her depraved habits, but without effect. The prisoner had robbed him on a previous occasion, and had suffered a month's imprison ment, but without the slightest effect. Last night he dis covered that she had again robbed him, during the time he was away from home, of various articles of wearing ap parel and some bed-clothing, which he discovered she had pawned. Mr. Vaughan remanded the prisoner for a week, in order that the stolen preperty might be produced. Elizabeth Burns, a girl about 16 years of age, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a pair of boots. Jessy Burns, aged 5, the prisoner's sister, said yesterday she was out with her sister, who was nursing the baby, when they met a little deaf and dumb girl named Elizabeth Holland. Her sister gave her the baby, and then she saw her take the little deaf girl round the corner of Burton crescent, and in a short time after she came back without the little girl and they went home, In a short time after her sister (the prisoner) told her to come out again, and she then took her to a pawnbroker's, and after she came out she told her she had got ls. 6d. on the boots of the little girl. When she got home the little deaf girl saw her, and she then went up to her mother and made her understand that the prisoner was the person who had stolen her boots. The mother of the child identified the boots as those be longing to her daughter. The prisoner said she did not steal the boots, but that her little sister did. The constable who took the prisoner into custody, said she admitted the robbery when she was at the police sta tion. Mr. Vaughan committed the prisoner for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. HARD UP.—William Thompson, address refused, was charged before Mr. Knox with picking the pocket of John Henry . Laleham, of Cornwall-terrace, Regent's-park, a magistrate. • Mr. Laleham said that on the previous afternoon he was walking along Oxford-street, near Stratford-place, when he was informed, by a person- in court that the prisoner had taken his pockethandkerchief out of his pocket. The per son went after the prisoner, and when he (Mr. Laleham) got up to him the prisoner had his pockethandkerchief in his hand. Mr. Freeman, of 289, Oxford-street, proved going up to the prisoner, who he had seen take Mr. Laleham's pocket handkerchief, and stopping him with it in his pocket. The prisoner asked him to let him go. In answer to Mr. Knox, a constable said he knew the prisoner to have been convicted 10 years ago, and he then received three months' imprisonment. The prisoner had also been in the 11th Hussars. He had seen the prisoner several times during the past summer, and he told him that he had left off picking pockets. The prisoner said it was true that 10 years ago he got into trouble, but since that time he had been trying to get an honest living. He was hard up, and took the handkerchief, and he begged the magistrate would look over it. He was very hard up, or he would not have done it. _ _ Mr. Knox asked the prisoner whether he could call any persons forward who had employed him ? The prisoner said they would not take the trouble to come. He worked for one for six weeks, and one for two months. Had he not been starving he would not have taken the handker chief. Mr. Knox said he would remand the prisoner, and the police could make inquiries as to how he had been getting his living of late. THAMES. ARISTOCRATIC AMUSEMENT.—TILE YOUNG MAN BORN IN STEPNEY.—Thomas Henry Jackson, a tall, well-dressed young man, of very aristocratic bearing, was brought be fore Mr. Paget charged with knocking at the doors of sun dry and divers inhabitants of the parish of St. Dunstan, Stepney, otherwise Stebonheath, without lawful excuse. William Wells, police constable, No. 174 K, stated that at 2 o'clock this morning he saw the prisoner with two " gentlemen" in Green-street, Stepney, and he knocked loudly at several doors in Green-street, and set up a great shout, which was re-echoed by his companions, who ex claimed, " What a jolly lark." He followed the prisoner into King-street, where ho began knocking at the doors again, and he took him into custody. Mr. Paget—He was drunk, I suppose ? Witness—No, sir ; he was quite sober. Mr. Paget—A sober man knocking at people's doors in the middle of the night ? Witness—Yes, sir; at eight or nine doors at least. Police-sergeant Brady said there had been many com plaints from the inhabitants of young men knocking at their doors at unseasonable hours. The prisoner, in defence, said he had been out with a few friends last night, and was not quite sober or quite tipsy. His friends knocked at his door at Christmas time, and he returned the compliment by knocking at theirs. He knocked at his own door, 27, Queen-street, Stepney. Mr. Paget—That is no offence. You may knock at your own door as long as you like, but not at other people's houses. , It is surprising that a person of your appeal-Arica and respectability could indulge in such absurd and childish amusements. The Prisoner—There is no one here to complain except the policeman. Mr. Paget—People who have been knocked up by your noisy knocks will not put themselves to the additional in convenience of coming here. The mother of the prisoner here made an appeal to the magistrate in favour of her son, and said he was a young man born in Stepney. Mr. Paget—That is no reason why he should hammer at people's doors in the night time. You should teach him better. The Mother—He has been brought up very genteelly. We are very respectable. Mr. Paget—lt is a great nuisance for people to have their doors knocked at. He is fined 10s. The money *as paid. WESTMINSTER. A DRUNKARD'S PECULIARITIES. —Ann Cheeseman, a woman about 50 years of age, was charged with being drunk and assaulting the police. Police-constable Charles Thinbell said that ho was on duty last night in Bullen-street, Chelsea, when-he found the defendant drunk and causing a mob of persons to as semble. She was sitting on the step of a door, and when he raised her up to remove her, she gave him a smack on the face. Defendant—Oh, it's a peculiarity I have, your worship. Mr. Selfe—Did you see the joke, constable ? Policeman—No, I did not. She gave me a smartish smack, and I was only trying to get her away. Mr. Selfe—Mrs. Cheeseman, how came you in this state of drunkenness ? Defendant—Why, it was under peculiar circumstances. I was having some beer—very little, your worship--when some larkish young men, "who were there, put some spirits into the beer—some gin, your worshp. Mr. Selfe—You were not obliged to drink the gin. Defendant—Yes I was, your worship. Mr. Selfe—How ? Defendant—lf I hadn't drank my gin I must have lost my beer. Mr. Selfe—Yes, I see ; a case of necessity. lam afraid you often get drunk. Defendant--Dear me, no. I was waiting about for an order. I went into a publichouse where my poor dear man that's dead and gone used for 14 years to wait a little, and soon after that I felt myself overtaken. Policeman—That woman absolutely, while her husband was lying dead, having been killed by an accident, got drunk and walked into Chelsea old church with a heap of boys after her. Defendant—l hope you will forgive me. lam going to the undertaker's. I will never come here again. It was a peculiar circumstance that overcame me this time. Pray let me go. Mr. Selfe—Do you think I can take your word ? Defendant—Yes, you can. I'll not come out of the workhouse. Mr. Selfe—Under these circumstances you may keep your word. I will forgive you this time, but don't come here again. Naval and Military Intelligence. Instructions were yesterday received at Chatham dockyard from the Admiralty directing the sailing frigate Vernon, 50, attached to the reserve in ordinary, to be brought forward and fitted as a flagship at Woolwich, to take the place of the Fisgard, 42, which for some time past has been unfitted for that duty. The Vernon will be at once taken in hand at the dockyard, and rigged and masted, her services being required as soon as she can be got ready. The Fis gard, on being relieved, will be attached to the squadron of sailing vessels reserved to be broken up. The screw corvette Cadmus, 21, 400-horse power, Capt. A. C. Gordon, was yesterday swung for the adjustment of her compasses by the officials con nected with the master shipwright's staff at Chatham dockyard. She will ship her powder and filled shells on Monday, in readiness for taking her departure from the Nore, and will call in at Spithead for final orders. _ _ Two of the large bower anchors, together with the chain cable and other portions of the heavy gear belonging to the line-of-battle sailing ship Superb, 80, which has recently returned to Chatham, from the Thames, where she was employed as a receiving ship for the officers and crew of the Turkish war steamers Estourel and Relepers Nursett, during the time they were being fitted with the machinery, were landed at Chatham dockyard yesterday. The operation was expeditiously accomplished by means of the steam traction engine recently introduced into the dockyard for this description of work. In consequence of there not being a dock at Sheer ness sufficiently large to take her Majesty's iron screw steamship Valiant, 21, 4,063 tons, 800 horse power, orders have been received that her fitments are to be completed at as early a period as possible, in order that she may be taken to Devonport to be docked, and the bottom of the vessel cleaned. The Barracouta, 6, paddlewheel sloop, 1,053 tons, 300 horse power, which was recently paid off by Commander John D'Arcy, after having been in commission four years on the North American and West Indies station, is again ordered to be refitted, and brought forward for commission on the same station, in place of th 3 Vesuvius, recently paid off. The Barracouta has been taken into No. 2 dock at Sheerness, and had her boiler and engines taken out. A considerable number of engineers, shipwrights, &c., are employed on the necessary repairs both in the machinery and hull. The vessel will not be again ready for the pennant till the end of March. Her Majesty's ship Formidable, flagship of Vice- Admiral Sir C. Talbot, R.C.8., Commander-in- Chief at Sheerness, was paid off at the close of the year ; but was immediately recommissioned with the same officers and men. On the occasion of the pay ing off the Lords of the Admiralty presented Michael Bir, chief quartermaster, with the long service and good conduct medal, and 151. gratuity ; Geo. Col lins, armourer, and Wm. Scott, captain of the hold, with the long service and good conduct medal and 101. each gratuity ; Wm. M'Kee, ship's steward, and Wm. Matthews, gunner, with the long service and good conduct medal. A reduction of the 4th division of the depot Royal Artillery, in commandof Lieut.-Col. Gibbon, C. 8., at Woolwich, is stated to be ordered to take place in April next, when the officers and men of the divi sion will be absorbed into others, many of which are at present considerably below their allotted strength from casualties in India and otherwise. The following case is attended with extreme hard ship :—Thos. Martin, now 34 years of age, served 12 years and nine months in the 69th, 60th, and 49th Regiments of the Line, was 8 years and 11 months in Malta and the Crimea, and was severely wounded by grapeshot in the right foot at the taking of the quarries on June 7, 1856. For his conduct on that occasion he obtained Crimean and Turkish medals with clasps for Alma, Inkerman, and Sebastopol. He afterwards enlisted in the Royal Artillery, in which he served 4 years and 11 months, and he is now discharged as unfit for further service, owing to blindness, the result of his wound. As a total reward for his lengthened services and wound he has been awarded a pension of 6d. a day for the term only of 15 months, when he will become utterly destitute. His discharge ticket is marked " good." A number of mechanics And labourers have been discharged during the week from the factory de partment of Woolwich dockyard, and others are announced to follow shortly, owing to a reduction ordered by the Board of Admiralty to meet the estima&l allowance. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, :EALING STEEPLECHASES.—FRIDAY. With five races set for decision and a delightful day, strong muster was expected, as the programme promised a good day's sport. The Castletar Plate, set for 12.30, brought but seven runners, and was won by Polly Hop kins, and the Hunters' Stakes was won in a canter by Spring Gun. Eleven went to the post for the Surrey and Middlesex Steeplechase, and the uncertainty of jumping events was illustrated by The Rogue (who was favourite) falling when looking all over the winner, and after various contretemps Piggy Wiggy followed up his success of yester day by winning cleverly. The two dther races brought out all the competitors entered, with one exception. The last event was a turn-up for the fielders, the favourite, backed at 5 to 4, beiog beaten by six lengths. Full de tails of the running will be found below : The Castlebar Plato (Handicap) of 40 sovs ; entrance 2 sovs to the fund ; winners extra. Two miles.

Rounding the turn, Flying Spur took up the running, but was soon after wards passed by Sinite, who led over the next fence, with Irish Boy, Donkey, and Flying Spur in close attendance. Shortly afterwards, going up the hill, The Donkey assumed the lead, but after takingthe third fence from home dropped back beaten, and Sinite, with Polly Hopkins in waiting, came on together till reaching the last fence, which was first taken by Polly Hopkins, who eventually won cleverly by two lengths ; Donkey a bad third, Irish Boy fourth, and Flying Spur, Puss, and Piggy Wiggy came in at intervals in the order named.

Bravo was first off, with Rogue in attendance, followed by Gorsehawk, Piggy Wiggy, and Dobbyn, the others in a cluster. Before reaching the stand The Rogue took up the running, and led out of the straight, his immediate fol lowers being Gorsehawk and Piggy Wiggy, the others well up, with the exception of Ivanhoff, who was 100 yards in the rear, and refused at the next fence. No noteworthy change took place the next time round, when the leaders passed the stand in the same order, but the others were tailed off at long intervals. At the fourth fence the third time The Rogue fell, and was not further persevered with. Gorsehawk, who was now in command, came to grief at the next fence, and left the lead with Piggy Wiggy, who was not afterwards headed, and won by s i x lengths ; Sly Fox was second, four lengths in advance of Shuttlecock; and Overton cantered in some distance in the rear.

MetropolW n Board of Worko, The ordinary weekly meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday, at their offices, Spring-gardens ; Mr. John Thwaites in the chair. The cash statement showed that the balances in the hands of the treasurer were—on current accounts, 213,4921 Os. 4d. ; on deposit accounts, .310,800/. ; and on Government securities, 51,471/. 10s. 10d. Mr. POLLARD, the clerk to the board, read a letter to the Poor-law Board, to the effect that it will be necessary to raise a larger sum for the relief of the houseless poor than that provided for in the estimates for the precepts for the current year, and requesting the board to pass such orders thereon as might be requisite. The CHAIRMAN said he had been in communica tion with the Poor-law Board on the subject of the amount that would be required up to the Ist of May next. At first it was thought that 3,5001. would be sufficient for the requirements of the houseless poor, but subsequent experience had shown them that a much larger sum would be re quired in consequence of the buildings it would be necessary to erect in several of the metropolitan parishos. They would increase the estimate to about 7,000/. He had therefore - directed the ac countant to distribute that amount in order that no time should be lost, and he would now ask their sphooourl-dlawgive. its authority for it and issue the necessary certificatc:i That would be necessary to prevent a question of _ _ difficulty arising. The act of Parliament if it expire in May, and it was a question t did expire the board could supplem therefore, sum by any further precept. They sto increase but one course to pursue, and that was i,..td had, therefore, smaller the sum from 3,500/. to 7,000/. The act li. not when the precept was made, oard led them come and the into ex porireantei c o n o f assent to to believe that 3,500/. would be sufficient. He now was then put for the: vote of 7,000/.1 proposed an d it was agreed to. The other business was then theThlaergnelrotsituo:. that the boathrde proceeded with, but was not of sufficient public in.• terest to call for notice. DEA t T h I lOIFAI belß C . shared by iN all whos.—lVit enjoyed h'adeep regret at will largely the pleasure of his acquaintance, we have to announcethe death of Mr. Charles James Collins, who expired on the last day of the old year, at his residence, 9, Manor-terrace, Brixton. Mr. C. J. Collins, who has been thus pre maturely taken from us at the early age of forty-four,. had been throughout his life a very industrious and ver satile writer, and was just gaining a higher reputation for a series of clever novels when his rapidly-advancing career was so suddenly checked. As a sporting writer he was well known under the signature of "Priam," and the gaiety of his style and the excellence of his judgment found constant expression in the various journals to which he contributed. To the Era he was for many years a valued contributor. To the stage he furnished many dramatic pieces, chiefly burlesques, that gained considerable popularity at the time, and his later novels of " Sackville Chase" and " The Man in Chains" gave evidence of higher literary powers than he had previously manifested. It is to be feared that the ardour with which he laboured in his pro fession had the effect of destroying his health, and that his incessant devotion to his desk so weakened his constitution s that he fell a victim to the exhausting work w hich 0 ,en), sec uring for him a prominent place in the rank of in novelists.—.
