POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This 'ay) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AT THE MUSEUM Or PRACTICAL GEOLOGY BY A STUDENT.—Alexander MParlane, a student at the Museum of Practical Geology, Jermyn• street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with stealing a purse at the above Museum, the property of George Hallett, the door-keeper. Mr. G. ;Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Hallett said the prisoner was a student at the Museum, and for some time past a large number of articles had been missed from the student's coats while hanging in the cloak-room, consisting of purses, card cases, &c. With the view of finding the person who took them, ha on the pre vious day put 4d. in half-pence in a purse, and then put it in his :coat-pocket, hanging the coat up in the cloak-room. About two hours after he missed the purse and eoppers from his coat, one of the coppers having been marked by Mr. Reeks, the secretary. He then followed the prisoner, and overtaking him in Piccadilly, told him that Mr. Reeks wished to speak to him, and on his going back he asked him if he had any objection to be searched, as property had been missed from the place. The prisoner then felt in his pockets and took out the purse. He (Mr. Hallett) at once said it was his purse, and sent for a constable, and he was given in charge. The money was then out of the purse, but on his being searched at Vine-street, the coppers were found in his pocket, including the marked penny. Pri • Boner made no answer when he told him the charge. Richard Cooper, C division, said prisoner had no reply to the charge. At the station he found a sovereign, 18s. 7d., and the marked penny on him. Sergeant Silverton, the acting inspector, said he found at the prisoner's lodgings, 38, Park-street, Islington, a quan tity of property, consisting of cigar cases, &c. ; and as the owners of a meershaum pipe and purse ware present, and the other property would be owned, he wished for a re mand. Mr. Lewis said he should reserve any remarks he might have to make till the prisoner was again brought up. The prisoner was then remanded. A number of gentlemen were'present from the museum. THAMES. DARING ROBBERY IN A SHOP AND SUMMARY CON VICTION OF THE THIEF.—John Harris, an active thief, aged 29, who is well known to the police, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with stealing a valuable telescope, the property of Mr. Edwin Hawthorn, optician, of No. 15, Queen-street, Rateliff. Yesterday afternoan the prisoner and another man entered Mr. Hawthorn's shop and asked for a pennyworth of screws. Mr. Hawthorn supplied them with what they wanted, but their movements, their hurried glances at the valuables in the shop, and other circumstances, excited his suspicions, and he watched them closely. The prisoner and his com panion left without stealing anything. They returned again a few minutes afterwards, asked for two pennyworth of screws, and after they were served wi4h them left the shop hurriedly. Directly they were gone Mr. Hawthorn missed a new telescope which was lying on the floor near the counter whoa the two fellows entered the shop. The prosecutor and a young man named William Wilson, immediately went in pursuit of the thieves and soon over took them. A cry of " stop thief" was raised, an exciting chase took place, and during the run the prisoner threw the telescope on to the roof of a stable in Rose-lane, Rat cliff. The prisoner was soon afterwards captured and after considerable resistance lodged in the station-house. The telescope was recovered by Wilson, who climbed to the top of the stable and brought it down. It was considerably damaged. The prisoner pleaded guilty. , Mr. Selfe--I believe you are a professed thief, and this robbery shows you to be a very daring one. You have come a long distance from John-street, City-road, to steal this telescope. You are sentenced to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for six months, and kept to hard labour. SHOCKING PROPENSITY FOR STRONG DRlNK.—lsabella Johnson, a most wretched and dissipated-looking woman, labouring under delirium tremens, and stated to be 56 years of age, but appeared to be 70, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a bundle of linen from the dwelling of a poor woman named Ruth Wicks, a laundress, of the Lansdowne-cottages, Tenter-ground, Whitechapel. Frederick Martin, a police-constable, 135 H, stated that he saw the prisoner enter a ginshop at an early hour this morning with a bundle of linen under her arm. She asked the barman to let her hava some gin, and she would leave some of the articles in pawn as a security for the payment at some future time. Her request was peremptorily refused. He asked her where she obtained the linen, to which she made no answer, and he took her into custody. The pri soner was an incorrigible drunkard, and had brought herself to her present miserable condition by her propen sity for strong drinks. He had seen her going from one public-house to another in and about Rosemary-lane at an early hour, and drinking gin at each until she got in sensibly drunk. Francis Kelly, 130 11, completed ihis picture of the pri soner by saying that she often stripped her children and sold their clothes to obtain gin, and tiaut when her husband had purchased clothes for her she had sold them and spent the proceeds at houses of public entertainment. He had seen her intoxicated and huddled up on door• steps. She was a curse to her family and to her neighbours. Ruth Wicks said the linen produced was stolen from a clothes basket on her dresser, where she left it last night. Other things were taken at the same time. When she came down stairs this morning her door and window were open, The prisoner was a neighbour and knew her way into the house. The prisoner, in defence, said she was tipsy when she committed the robbery. She had sent her own things to Mrs. Wicks to be washed, and intended to take them away and no others. Mr. Selfe—Do you plead guilty or not guilty ? The prisoner—l am guilty, sir. . . _ Mr. Selfe—See what drunkenness has brought you to. What a wretched creature you are, and you have robbed this poor woman, your neighbour. You are sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. COVENT GARDEN.

A letter from Paris says is now nearly three months since M. Mires was arrested and shut up in the prison of Mazes, on the charge of abuse of confidence. The penalty imposed on conviction for this offence varies from two months' to two years' andafine which ofthe cannotexceed one fourthimprisonment, restitution and the damages for the benefit of the parties who have suffered by the abuse of confidence. M. Mires has not yet been brought to trial, and must be regarded as innocent until the contrary be proved ; yet he is punished as if his guilt had already been declared by the and his is it w would what tribunal and sentence passed. called " preventive detention," T appear there is no fixed term. M. Mi res may be kept in prisonf be at t h e ender years, and, f or aught anybody knows, may pronounced innocent of the charges against him, and liberated, but not before his health and energies have been wasted, and he himself reduced to beggary. The charge against M. Mires has re ference to the society known as the Caisse des Chemins do Fer, of which he was the head; and the appointment of a person to administer the affairs of that establishment during M. Mires legal incapacity was perfectly justifiable. But there is another en terprise in which M. Mires has been also concerned —the united journals the Constitutionnel and the l'ays. In 1855 he purchased from M. Veron, of the first-named journal, his property in it for the sum of £44,000, and became its gerant, or manager. This, being an entirely distinct affair from the Caisse des Chemins de Fer, appears to have been conducted to the satisfaction of the shareholders, inasmuch as they have received from 10 to 11 per cent., and in the present year 9 per cent., dividend on their shares. At all events, no complaint was made against his management. It seems, however, to have been determined to deprive M. Mires, who by the statutes of the company had a right to ap point his successor in case of absence or incapacity, of all control over his property. After repeated efforts two persons presented themselves, one a shareholder only since the day previous, the other from the beginning, " but who," as M. Mathieu, counsel for M. Mires, declared in his motion in court on Saturday last, " are simply the instru ments of an intrigue, the object of which is to de prive M. Mires of the right which the statutes of the company confer on him as manager to ap point his successor:" The appeal on behalf of M. Mires against an act which is equivalent to spolia tion was unsuccessful. The most odious feature in the case, however, is the manner in which M. Mires has been treated since his arrest. " I come," said his counsel, in his address to the Cour Imperiale, to claim for M. Mires the benefit of the rights which are common to all, and to ask of the Court whether a fellow-citizen, accused but not convicted of a misdemeanour, or even of a crime, is to be visited with a sort of civil death, and in some measure to be placed beyond the pro tection of the law." It seems that his legal advisers have, with much difficulty, obtained access to him. M. Mathieu declares that he could only see him on the 18th of April. It is true, the Advocate-General stated that this absolutely close confinement only lasted eight days; and why it should have lasted even eight days is not explained. But the Advocate-General is mistaken ; I hear, on the best authority, that M. Mires has, on three separate occasions since his incarceration, been kept in the closest confinement. On the second occasion the seclusion was so severe that the most insignifi cant letters from his family had to undergo the in spection of the gaol authorities before delivery, and even the news of the aecoucheinent of his daughter, the Princess de Polignac, was communicated to him by one of the goalers, whose compassion inspired him with courage. I am assured that even now M. Mires is subjected to strict privacy, for only two members of his family have received permission to see him three times a-week, and in presence of one of the warders of the prison, and a person holding his powers of attorney has been reused permission to see him. M. Mires has applied in vain to be al lowed to see his co-director of the Caisse Generale des Chemins de Fer ; and even his brother and his sisters have been allowed to see him only once. Such treatment of a man who is not convicted of what has been laid to , his charge, who has net even been tried, and who, whatever be the result of the prosecution, must still be regarded in the eye of the law as guiltless, is revolting to every feeling of justice and humanity. It evinces the utmost disregard of personal liberty. Perhaps the most disgraceful fact is that the press has never once raised its voice against this oppression from the day of M. Mires' imprisonment to the present mo ment, and it is equally silent on the " domicilliary visits" of the police to the house of his son-in-law, the breaking open of private lc tors, kc. The Em peror, who in all probability knows nothing of these things, has on more than one occasion de plored this indifference in France to the violation of personal liberty. "In France," his Majesty ob• serves,— " The tranquillity of the citizen shall be disturbed, his house shall be violated, he shall be forced to endure for months a preventive imprisonment, all his personal gua rantees shall be disregarded, and though a few generous persons may raise their voices, yet public opinion will re main calm and untouched, unless whep political passions are to be roused." This is exactly the case of M. Alires. If there be evidence of his guilt let him be brought to trial ; but it is most cruel to visit him beforehand with a punishment quite as severe, if not severer than a court of justice would inflict upon him were the charge on which he was imprisoned proved against him, WILLS AND BEQUESTS. The will of Dowager Lady Clifton, of Bruton street, Bond-street, and of Clifton Hall, Notts, who died on the 29th of December last, bears date the 16th of December, 1859, wherein she appointed as her executors the Rev. Charles T. Corydon Lux more, of Guilsfield, in the county of Montgomery, and the Rev. Morgan Davies, M.A., Hon. Canon of St. Asaph, and Rector of Llanrwst, who proved the same in the London Court on the 22d ult. The personalty was sworn under £25,000. Lady Clifton is of ancient and distinguished rank, and the family are well known as having resided at Clifton during the reign of Edward I. and up to the present time. Her will contains many specific directions, and is expressed with much carefulness and minuteness. Her ladyship gives in trust her personal property for her son and daughter, and to their descendants respectively, subject to the payment of certain legacies to the executors nominated, some personal friends, relatives, and to her servants. Her lady ship's son, the present baronet, takes the family estates, to whom also is bequeathed some family portraits and other effects which are to be retained as heirlooms. Her ladyship's daughter, Lady Bruce, wife of Sir Henry H. Bruce, Bart., is left a moiety of the personal property, together with her mother's gold and silver plate with the arms of Treleydon, also a presentation piece of plate made to her ladyship (the testatrix) from the parishioner of Clifton, and a picture of our Saviour brought from Sebastopol by Colonel Edmund Peel. The will of Col. Sir Wm. Henry Claric, Bart , formerly of Mertyn, Flintshire, but late of Heath House, near Ludlow, Shropshire, was proved in London, on the 22d ult., by the Venerable Charles Carr Clerke, D.D., Archdeacon of Oxford, the brother and sole surviving executor. Col. Sir W. Clerke was of a family of very ancient descent, which figured prominently in history at the remote period of 1514, and became elevated to a baronetcy at the Restoration in 1660. The colonel entered the army at the early age of 18, and served during the Penin• sular war, and subsequently at Waterloo. He was an officer in that gallant and distinguished regi ment, the 52d Light Infantry. On the cessation of the war in 1815 this gallant officer appears to have passed the residue of his days in the occupation of some distinguished posts,having been appointed High She - eiff for Flintshire, Deputy Lieut., and magistrate of that county. The will, which bears date so long back as 1842, is strictly of a family nature. To his wife the colonel bequeaths a life interest in his personal estate, giving to her absolutely the jewel lery and personal ornaments. The eldest son, now Sir Wm. Henry Clerke, Bart., and heir-at-law, takes the family estate, and, on the decease of tes tator's wife, the person property he leaves amongst his children, appointing them residuary legat,"!i Colonel Sir William Clerke died on the 1601 of February last, at the age of 67.

Lord LIFFORD presented a petition from Donegal, praying for the uniform registration of marriages in Ire land. THE BANKRUPTCY BILL. The Duke of RUTLAND presented a petition in favour of the Bankruptcy Bill. The prayer of the petition was, that their lordships would be pleased to pass the bill with out referring it to a select committee. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that while he entirely concurred in the praer of the petition just presented, he did nut think it was in accordance with the rules of their lordships' house that any petition could be received, as it was irregular to specify the particular way in which the petitioners wished bills to be passed. Lord CHELMSFORD agreed with the observations of the noble and learned lord on the woolsack. The Duke of RUTLAND said if he hsd infringed the rules of the house ho very much regretted it. He would immediately withdraw the petition. The Duke of RICHMOND said he had also presented a petition with a similar prayer, but after what had passed he wished to withdraw it. Lord OVERSTONE presented a number of petitions in favour of the bill, amongst which was one from the bankers, merchants, and others in the City of London, and another from Manchester, which differed from the others, inasmuch as it prayed that the official assignee might be retained. There was a very strong feeling throughout the country in opposition to the existing law. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition from the Bristol Chamber of Commerce in favour of the bill. Lord CHELMSFORD presented petitions from a num ber of mercantile and commercial bodies praying for certain modifications in the bill. MESSAGE FROM THE CROWN-MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS ALICE. Earl GRANVILLE brought up a message from the Crown. The LORD CHANCELLOR read the Royal Message to their lordships. Her Majesty communicated to them her intention to sanction a marriage between her Royal Highness the Princess Alice and the Prince Louis cf Hesse. The numerous proofs that her Majesty had received of the loyalty of that house to her person and family left her no room to doubt the willingness of their lordships to make an adequate provision for her daughter, such as might be suitable to the dignity of the Crown. Earl GRANVILLE said this was not the time to go into debate on the subject of her Majesty's message. It was, however, his duty to ask that an address should be presented to her Majesty on the happy event. They would have great pleasure in doing so at the present mo ment, as he: Majesty had so lately suffered a domestic af fliction. The Earl of DERBY was convinced, from the deep inte rest which their lordships felt in everything that concerned the happiness of her Majesty and the Royal family, that their lordships would agree to the address now proposed with the same unanimous assent, and a much greater degree of sate faction than they recently gate to an address of a much more melancholy character which was recently sent up from their lordships' house. The intended marriage just announced might not be one of so brilliant a character as that contracted by the eldest sister of the Royal Princess, but it was founded on the best security for happiness—an in timate personal acquaintance between the parties and a mu tual affection and esteem. He sincerely trusted that this alliance would be productive, both to the illustrious Prin cess and her consort, of the same happiness which had been for so many years enjoyed by her Majesty, and which he believed was also enjoyed by her eldest daughter. He was quite satisfied that their lordships would cheerfully concur in making such provision for the Princess and her consort as the other house might think fit ; and ho had no doubt that the other house would act with due and proper liberality on the occasion. He had only to express a hope that the provision made by the other house would not in the slightest degree disarrange the Budget of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer or add to the financial difficulties of the country. (A. laugh.) ,Their lordships would, he was certain, cor dially concur in any proposal that might come from the House of Commons, and he begged heartily to second the motion. The motion for the address was agreed to. TRE BANKRUPTCY BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved that the house go into committee on this bill. The Earl of DERBY—My lords, I w•as in hopes atter the intimation I had received— The LORD CHANCELLOR—I quite understood that the bill was to be referred to a select committee, and I made the motion merely as a matter of form, in order to enable the noble earl to move the amendment of which he had given notice. The Earl of DERBY—My lords, I was in hopes that after some intimations that we had received, the noble and learned lord would himself have moved to send this bill to a select committee ; and that your lordships would thus have been spared the necessity of hearing a single word from me in support of my amendment. As it is, the an nouncement which the noble lord has made will render it quite needless for me to trespass on your patience for more than a single moment. In the first place, I have to express my entire satisfaction that the noble and learned lord has taken notice of the language of some petitions which have been presented to your lordships' house. A petition has been presented by a noble baron opposite, andseveral others I couched in almost similar terms have come from persons of the greatest eminence with regard to the bankruptcy law, and are, therefore, entitled to some consideration. I have no doubt that the general expression of opinion by numerous bodies would materially facilitate the passing of a bill which in its main features is generally approved of by the mercan tile public at large. But the point to which we are most indebted to the noble and learned lord for calling attention is that which refers to the propriety of these petitioners suggesting that the bill should not be referred to a select committee. Now, my lords, I venture to think that, how ever admirable judges the mercantle firms who have peti tioned the house may be with regard to the alteration that ought to be made in the law of bankruptcy, your lordships do not require any suggestion from any mercantile body with regard to the course which your deliberations should take. The petition presented by my noble friend opposite was sent to me this morning, accompanied by a letter, in which I am informed by the secretary of the Mercantile Law Amendment Society that they regret to learn that her Ma jesty's Government, unable to resist my powerful influence —daughter)—had consented to refer the bill to a select committee. My lords, I must in the first place disclaim for myself the honour of being supposed to possess a personal influence capable of overbearing the determination of her Majesty's Government ; and I hope Imay also, on the part (of her Majesty's Government, repudiate an insinuation so injurious and offensive to them as that they, from a fear of political defeat on a question which really after all involve d s no considerations of party, should havegiven way, end taken a course which is opposed to their own views judgment. Far be it from me to suppose the p n o: ra w J b i ers of to give there being differences of opinion between tile h i s, as on all the Government ; for wo all know that other questions, they are unitedic with n t t h ott t e t h e s e: r v i e l y ( l . intimation mmaet c ri S oce t anlo h nnit a atih r pull e m laL o s n tuath L er ' de .

One to whoth is that a r e measure to a select committee would mnch delay that it would beimpossible to pass the bill in the course of the present session. This [ a nticipation shows great ignorance of the proceedings o your lordships in select committees, and holds out very me lancholy prospects to such of your lordships as may be placed upon the committee now proposed to be appointed necessarily (A laugh.) On the other hand, they expr)ss an apprehen sion that if referred to a select committee the bill will re ceive such important alterations that it will not be adopted by her Majesty's Government or be acceptable to the pro fession at large. My lords, it is not very complimentary to the distinguished lawyer who is the author of the bill to suppose that the examination of the bill by 19 or 20 of your lordships who are most competent to consider its details would at once lead to a total and entire change in its pro ♦isions. My sole object in moving for a select committee is because I feel that a bill of such extent and oomplexity will be far more satisfactotily, effectually, and speedily dealt with by a committee composed of 18 or 20 members of your lordships' house, who would give their undivided attention to it, than by a committee of the whole house. The noble and learned lord said the other evening that he should not object to the reference to a select committee, if it was only a mere question of detail; but that ho should object to it it the committee proposed to touch the great principles of MO bill. It is difficult to state exactly what if a principleor IT. cause e lie' I so o have t h coursealt eet what is a detail ; but there are undoubtedly four . fi e _ . leading points which will require grave and impartial ea a .ad the indefinite which is given to the county courts., •.n . . beration.
