[AuvEuTisniEwr.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Useful Knowledge.—The successful treatment of the great mass of diseases is not so great a mystery as many may suppose. Purify the blood, cleanse the liver and stomach, and the absorbent system will immediately right itself. Both medicaments may be beneficially used by the most inexperienced, under whose care the very worst of cases will progress favourably, and terminate happily, by using Holloway's celebrated remedies according to the instruc tions wrapped round each pot and box. These renowned remedies cure all disorders of the kidneys and bowels, and will be found superior to all other means for mitigating the sufferings of those unfortunately afflicted by incurable maladies, 73 1 1021 2 i 8.1.8.0 8.10.0 5.10.6 18.17.6 4. 1 u.ti 11 3.2.0 18.18.9 35.15.6 5 6 13 14 440 469 i 18 20 7 8 24 3 2 3 10 11 3 41 19 20 I 25 27 11 1* 33 36 31 31 6 8 5 61 21 116 35 45 4 t 1 21 26 325 375 i I} i 4 16 11 13 3 5 1 2 6 7 c 3 67 14) 150 85 95 16 20 5 7 165 175 9 11 2t. 51 1 riiE SUN, LON.M.I.N, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 6, IEC6. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. --4.--- BOW-STREET. NOT SO EASY AS IT LOOKS.—A ragged, dirty old woman named Mary Brown, was charged with stealing a boot from the shop of Mr. Mitchell, bootmaker, Drury-lane. The prosecutor said that about 10 o'clock last night the prisoner came to his shop, and began turning over several of the pair of boots arranged in front of the window. He watched her for a few minutes, and presently saw her take a pair of scissors from her pocket, and cut the string by which a pair of boots were fastened together, thus releasing. one of the boots, which she took up and placed under 14r shawl. The witnebs hero explained that the string of each pair of boots was twisted round a piece of wire in such a manner that they could only be got away by cutting the string, and then only ono at a time. In order to get the other boot of the pair she would have to cut the string again. The prisoner appeared discontented at this disco very, but was about to apply the scissors for the second time, when a passer-by, not knowing that he was watching her, called out, " Halloo, Mr. Mitchell, here is a woman stealing your boots." The prisoner then moved off, but he followed her and stopped her, and took the boot from hor. She feigned drunkenness, but he did not believe she was really tipsy. Police-constable Perry, 176 F, who took the prisoner into custody, also said that he believed her to be sober. The Prisoner —lt is my first time of doing wrong : I had taken a little drop of brandy, and that was the cause of it. It was not for the sake of stealing. I did not want one boot. Mr. Flowers—No ; you wanted two. You thought you would get the pair, and so would any body think. I know I should have thought that when the string was cut both boots would come away together. But you see so many people think so that the shopkeeper is obliged to adopt this ingenious mode of tying his goods, in order to disap point them. This is a very bad offence, but as you are not known, and it may be that you have never done anything of the sort before, I will give you the benefit of that doubt and sentence you to only one month's imprisonment. Mr. Mitchell said he believed the prisoner was the same woman who stole a pair of boots from his shop 18 months ago, but he could not swear to her. 1 1 1 - 11 RD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK.

A VERY MEAN ROBBERY.—Alexander Ramsay, a labourer and " loafer," who belongs to a gang of scoundrels who infest the docks and environs to plunder sailors and pick up anything within reach, was charged before Mr. Partridge with stealing six pennyworth of bread and meat, the property of Michael Laney, a labourer in the London Dock. _ _ The practice of stealing the labourers' bread and butter and bread and meat provided for them has been very com mon, and the poor fellows have suffered. The prosecutor deposited his jacket containing four slices of bread and a half-pound of meat in No. 1 shed of the London Dock, and went about his work. The prisoner and another man, also a " loafer," were seen loitering about the shed, and were watched. The prisoner went into the shed and took the broad and meat away with it. He was immediately captured by Joseph Lyon, the man who was watching him, and given into the cus tody of a police-constable named Chapman, 80 H, to whom he said that he did not take the bread and meat for himself but for another. Mr. Partridge said the prisoner had been guilty of a very mean robbery. It was a dirty proceeding to rob a poor, hard working man of his meal. Ho was afraid the pri soner was an idle fellow, who would rather live upon other men's industry than work himself. Ho sentenced the pri soner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF SUGAR IN THE RlVER.—Charles "Horvell, a well known river-thief, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with being concerned with others in stealing 13 bags of sugar, weighing 17 cwt., from a barge alongside a Cork steamer on the river Thames. The property was removed a few nights ago, and four of the stolen bags of sugar were afterwards seen in a barge near the Wheatsheaf-wharf in Wapping, and the prisoner and another man with them. Two police-constables of the Thames Division named Wolsoncraft and Knight sur prised the two men as they were bringing the sugar on shore. One was captured at once, and remanded by Mr. Partridge until Tuesday next. The prisoner was not captured till last night, He now denied any participation in the robbery, and said he went to the wharf where the barge was lying to meet a friend. He asked the officers if they saw him touch the bags of sugar. The officers replied that the prisoner was called by the man in custody to help him. The man said "Come along," and the prisoner made an answer they could not hear, and went towards the barge. On seeing the officers the pri soner ran away. Mr. Partridge—Are you sure the prisoner is the man you saw with the prisoner I have remanded ? The officers replied in tho affirmative. Mr. Partridge—l shall remand the prisoner until Tues day nest. DIARLBOROUGII-STREET. A SCOUNDREL. —Joseph Murray, described as a tailor, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt as follows : Thos. Cheney, 87 0, said that about 12 o'clock last night he saw the prisoner following different gentlemen into the urinal near St. Martin's-place. The prisoner left and went to another urinal, and followed different gentlemen in, and as he knew the prisoner to be one of a number of fellows who were in the practice of hanging about such places for the purpose of extorting money, and as ho also knew that a companion of the prisoner's was lately charged at Bow street with attempting to extort money from a gentleman, he took him into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt said there was no doubt in his mind what the prisoner was after, and he should commit him for a month with hard labour as a suspected person. He looked upon the prisoner as a dangerous person, who might blast a man's r eharacter for life. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Sept. 5. The invitation to Mr. John Bright is couched in the following terms : "Sir,—Wo, the undersigned, admiring your public cha racter and grateful for your eloquent advocacy of the rights of our country, respectfully request your acceptance of a public banquet at Dublin on as early a day as your conve nience will pormit." It is signed by the following members of Parlia ment :—John F. Maguire, John B. Dillon, John Gray, N. D. Murphy, D. J. Rearden, Sir Pat rick O'Brien, Myles O'Reilly, John Esmonde, George Bryan, John Bagwell, The O'Donoghue, Edward Sullivan, John Brady, John A. Blake, Richard Joseph Devereux, Benjamin 'Whitworth, Colman M. O'Loghlen, Sir J. Power, Sir Charles R. Barry, Sergeant ; James A. Lawson ; Richard Armstrong, Ist Sergeant ; G. B. Barry, Charles Moore. ----- Mr. Bright has forwarded the annexed reply : "Rochdale, Sept. 1. "My dear Mr. Dillon,—l am afraid you willl think me long in answering your letter of 21st ult. and in replying to the invitation to the proposed banquet, which has duly reached me. The invitation is a very remarkable one, and I cannot doubt it represents au important amount of public opinion in Ireland. To myself it is a testimony of approval and kind feeling, which I estimate most highly, although it involves me in no small difficulty, for I have been hoping for a quiet autumn, with an absence of public meetings and of public labour. I am not confident that my coming to Ireland will be of any service, but as so many among you are of opinion that something may be done to make amore perfect union between the Liberals of Ireland and the Liberal party here, with a view to wiser legislation for your country and for ours, I have not felt myself at liberty to refuse the invitation which has been sent to me. I accept it with much gratitude to those from whom it comes, and with a hope that in doing so I may not be stepping beyond the bounds of what seems to be my duty. Some time during the month of October will, I hope, be convenient to all concerned, but I must ask you to have the precise day to be fixed two or three weeks hence. About the middle of the month will probably be the best time for me, if there be no objection to it on the part of my friends in Dublin. With many thanks to you, and to those on whose behalf you have written to me, "I am, very sincerely yours, "Mr. John B. Dillon, M.P., Dublin." " JOHN BRIGHT. At a meeting of the Cork Town Council, held on Monday, it was resolved, on the motion of the High Sheriff, to present an an address to the Lord-Lieu tenant, and a committee was appointed to prepare the document. Mr. Maguire suggested that the address should contain an allusion to the measures which are considered necessary for the promotion of the prosperity of the country. The Daily Express says it is rumoured that in the case of a vacancy in the borough of Armagh, Mr. John Vance, late M.P. for Dublin, will offer him self to the constituency. The friends of Mr. Millar, the present member for Armagh, strongly urge his claims to the vacant office of Master of the Rolls, which the Government seem to have some difficulty in filling, Baron Fitzgerald having declined to ac- cept it. The C urraghßoyal September meeting commenced yesterday. The attendance was not so large as last year, but the sport was capital. The Lord-Lieute nant will be there to-morrow, when large numbers will no doubt be attracted by his presence. The Law Life Assurance Society cannot be said to neglect altogether the improvement of their pro perty in Connemara. A church, for which they granted a site and subscribed the greater part of the building fund, was opened near Ballinahinch Castle on Tuesday, the 28th ult.

(THIS DAY.) [The Doncaster St. Leger is near at hand, to be rapidly succeeded by the Cesarewitch and Cam bridgeshire, the weights for which are now pub. fished. Turfites are deeply interested in the results of these three great events, and are anxious to glean all reliable information as to how the several candidates are progressing in their preparation To meet the requirements of our numerous sportia subscribers, we have made arrangements to be fur nished daily with Special Notes from the various Training Districts, so as to keep our readers well " posted up" on the actual work done each morn ing by the principal competitors for the leading current racing tournays.] NEWMARKET. More storms have prevailed, and the ground was heavy this morning. Honiton was eased. Robin Hood trotibd. After all, we may not have more than Vespasian (to make a pace for Lord Lyon), and Lord Glasgow's roan colt go for the Leger. Nu is striding away, with the Great Yorkshire Handicap in view ; and Le Mandarin had a nice long gallop. Godding is getting the two year old colt by Toxophilite out of Maid of Masham right for the Champagne. Fripponnier and The Rake spun along smartly, as did Jasper and Scour da Charite. The following were also in nice work : Jani tor, Lincoln Green, Dalesman, Lothario, Guinivere, Tour mann, Hippia, Duko of York, Advance, Hasketon Maid, Verula,m, Othello, Chapel Royal, Friday, Lytham, Artesian, Qui Vivo, Troublesome, Miss Harriette, Knight of the Garter, Breadalbane, Broomielaw, Julius, Pericles, Ambi tion, Bounceaway, Fernleaf, and several others. MALT ON. Knight of the Crescent, Westwick, War, and Knight of St. Michael resumed their mile and three-quarters' gallops this morning on the (brimstone Hill, but as tho wold was heavy they went more steadily than hitherto. Possibly only the two former will run in the St. Leger. MARLBOROUGH. The Olatford, Ogbourne, and Tanner Downs are satu rated with wet, but Sovernake follow - 0d tho Flutter colt a mile and a half steadily this morning, after which lue wont in, as, being a delicate horse, subject to rheumatism, Alex. Taylor did not keep him out so long as usual. The colt, however, looks and goes first class. Bradamaute and others returned from Warwick; and the Brother to St. Alban's is to be tried with the former to-morrow or Sun day, and they leave for the north on Monday. RICHMOND. Strathconan followed Pedant over two miles this morn ing, and pulled up as sound as a bell. Podargus is gal loping only a mile and a quarter. It is said now that Plaudit won't run next week. ILSLEY. Lord Lyon did a mile and throe-quarters to-day over tho Horse-shoe Gallop, and Achievement went a mile. Both are as fit as judgment and hands can make them.
