POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSIOiV.HO USE. A Jew, named Ln•ael Mordecai, was brought be fore the LoRD MAYOR and Alderman WILSON, by the officers of the parish of Aldgate, for the amount of the expences of the birth and maintenance of an illegitimate child for nine years. A pauper, the mother of the child, stated that ten years ago she lived as servant in the house in which the defendant lodged, and he seduced her under promise of marriage. The moment, however, be found that she was likely to 'aecome a mother, he packed up his moveables, and off he ran to Poland, where he had previously resided. She gave due notice to the parish authorities that she had been abandoned, and that she would soon be a double burden, and a constant look-out was kept for the Jew, but she never set eyes on him until he was grabbed a few days ago, and told that the parish was down upon him for 481. 1.55. Gd. Mordecai totally disclaimed all knowledge of the woman in the way he supposed it would be neces sary to establish the claim upon him, but assured the Magistrates that he often spoke to her within the ;ast year, and she never uttered a syllable to him 1 about the business. BRITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH. —,-CHOLERA MORBUS SPECIFIC.—At a time when the country is menaced by the approach of this destructive malady, and the Board of Health and other medical bodies are emitting their opinions and advice to the public, how to prevent and cure its attacks—the Pre sident and Vice-President of the British College of Health —strong from experience, and cases collacted from their numerous agents and adherents throughout the country, and whose success in curing the most violent attacks of Cholera Morbus by Morison's Universal Medicine onlv, has been unfailing—that their silence on such an im portant occasion might be construed as shrinking from the task—no —they know well that the Universal Medicine has powers to meet the most alarming symptoms of all diseases, if largely and repeatedly taken. The treatment is simply this, and will be found the most certain, and most economical, of all the remedies hitherto prescribed ; and that the patients will be per fectly re-established in the short space of a day or two, or less ; in most cases not being sensible of any attack at all, if the Universal Medicine is immediately had recourse to. As soon as the patient feels any symptom of the dis ease coming on, he will take twelve, fifteen, or twenty pills of No. 2, which immediately will allay the spasms (the most dangerous symptom), and procure easy evacua tions, upwards and downwards, which, at once carries off the disease. In severe cases, the largest dose should be repeated in six hours ; in more lenient ones, in twelve or twenty-four hours ; but the most prudent way is, if per fect ease is nut restored, to repeat the dose, and afterwards to continue with Nos. 1 and 2 alternately, and the powders throughout the day, till well. Warmth and rubbing over the stomach and heart are recommended. No other me dicine is requisite, nor should be used. Weak diluting drinks, or warm water alone, are recommended. UNDOUBTED CURE OF CHOLERA IN ENGLAND. To Mr. Morison the Ilygeist. Sir, —Feeling assured that my life has been saved by a prompt use of the Universal Medicines, under a most violent attack of the Cholera Morbus, I deem it a duty I owe to you and to the public, to lay my case before you, in the hope that, by your giving this inv testimony (which I am ready to verify on oath, if required,) full publicity, I may be the means of emboldening many to embrace the same certain remedy to that dreadful Ca am ay. s , On Sunday evening last I was suddenly attacked with a most violent lax and retching, and at the same time seized with most distressing cramps, in all my limbs, and all over my body, with spasms in the chest and back, which filled me with all the hor rors of a certain and agonising death before the morning. !Strug gling, however, through the night, my wife, at an early hour on Monday morning, waited on Mr. Moat, the Vice-President of the College, who promptly ordered an immediate dose of 40 pills, twice or thrice in the course of the day, during which time a thorcugh cleansing, up and down, removed all danger, and by the Wednesday following, I was enabled to follow my business in Lull health. _ _ _ The pauper—You know you promised to marry me, or you should not a done no sich a thing. Mordecai—Marry you! Vot would I marry sich a body as you for, and I with my own vife ? I tell you I don't know you, but in a very indifferent sort of a way. The beadle said, that the woman's statement was what it had always been to him. The defendant had plenty of money, and kept a shop, and was no doubt the father of the child. The LORD MAvott questioned the woman several times, and observed that she was ready to answer every question before it was uttered. Alderman WILSON—And you tell me, my good woman, that you never saw him for nine years, till he was apprehended ? Pauper—Never laid eyes upon him, my Lord. He wouldn't let me. He ran away, and I believe he married two or three women since. Mordecai--Marry two or tree vomen ! Poo, non sense. I got von vife, and she vouldn't let me have no more. 'Tis she rot vant more husband. Benjamin Nathan stepped forward to show that :he pauper had told a lie. The Lout) MAYOR—And pray how do you know that she told a lie ? Berjamin Nathan—Vy, you mesce, tev Lord, this here voman lived servant with me for two— Pauper—l a servant to you for two years T. I never saw you before in all my life—(Laughter.) Nathan—Oh Lord ! Oh Lord Vv, you knows I can bring my vile and family and the neighbours for to prove it. Vell, you see, please you, my Lord, seeing she lived with me, I knowed her ater she left me; and I seed her and Mr. Mordecai often talk to gether about Petticoat-lane within these six years; and you see, if he vas out of the vay he couldn't u been in such a place as Petticoat-lane. The beadle had every reason to believe that Mr. Nathan made a mistake in the woman. Nathan—No, no. I'll suffer to be hanged if I do. Why, I have her writing at home. Pauper—How can he, my Lord, when I can't write none ? I never wrote in my life ; and I don't know a letter. Nathan—Vy, I've got her receipts for her wages. Let me go for 'em, and I'll bring my vife, and soon stick de lie upon her. The woman was not to be puzzled. She, how ever, excited the strong suspicion of the Lord Mayor and Alderman Wilson, by the ready-made answers she dispatched upon every occasion. His LoupsnlP—We'll postpone this case for a few days. There must be a most abominable per jurer here, and we are determined to prosecute. Mr. Cope, the Marshal, soon afterwards told the Lord Mayor and Alderman Wilson, that the woman had fallen upon her knees and begged to be forgiven for the mistakes she had committed. The pauper had, it appeared, mistaken the de fendant for another person ; she had made a mistake in sa y ing that she had not been servant to Nathan for two years—she had made a mistake in saying, that she had not been in the habit of meeting the defendant for six years, and she had made a fourth mistake in declaring that she could not write her own name. The defendant was, of course discharged. " From the powerful and beneficent effect produced on me in so short a time, I can have no hesitation in recommending your inestimable Medicine as a certain and speedy cure of the Cholera Morbus.—l am, Sir, your grateful debtor and humble servant, " W. 11.

PRICE 7D. looked at the parcel which one of the fel lows had put in his pocket, when he discovered that a quantity of halfpence had been snbsri toted for the sovereigns. He looked in vain for the two sharpers, and found himself duped. The Captain particularly described the two fellows; one was a stout man, about 5 feet 8 inches high, dressed in a black coat, dark blue speckled waistcoat, drab coloured breeches, and white top boots. The other man was a taller and thinner, about 5 feet 10 inches in height, with a long nose and face, small whiskers, and very little hair on his head. He was attired in a black coat and waistcoat, and black trousers. The information of the Captain was taken down in writing, and the officers were directed to use their exertions to discover the sharpers, who are no doubt far enough off by this time to elude the pur suit of the police. Yesterday William Fuller, the steward of the ship John, from Habart Town, Van Diemen's Land, and William Manning, a seaman, .were brought before Mr. BRODF,RIP for examination, on a charge of hay. ing stolen at sea a diamond ring value 250 guineas. The ring was stolen from John Braidwood Wilson, M.D., of the Royal Navy, who was a passenger in the ship John, and who had been intrusted with the ring by Mrs. Macquoid, the lady of the High Sheriff of New South Wales, for the purpose of conveying it to a lady of distinction in this country. The circumstances attending the robbery have already been detailed. A great deal of evidence was offered against the prisoners yesterday, but in consequence of the prevarication of one of the wit nesses, which was accounted for on the ground that he was intoxicated, the Magistrate remanded the prisoners for another examination. COURT OF ALDERMEN. Previous to the Court entering upon business, Alderman ‘VAATIIMAN said he wished to address a few words upon what they must all feel concerned in—the privileges of the Court. He alluded to what had appeared in the public Papers purporting to be reports of their proceedings. He had always been an advocate for publicity, and such had of late been the misrepresentations of their proceeding s , and the imputation thrown upon the Court, that he felt that the time had arrived when they must either throw open their doors, or employ a reporter. In deed, when he looked at the partial manner in which the debates of the other Court, which was ope n , were given, he did not know how they were to pro tect themselves unless they adopted the latter mode, and employed reporters. Something must be done. The last report of this Court was a mis-statement throughout. For himself he could say, that not only were his statements omitted, but he was reported to have said the very reverse of what he did say. There had been only eight members present. lie cared not from whom the report came, but he should thkk most despicably of any man capable of such a fabrication. The worthy Alderman near him (Wd , on) had observations attributed to him which he had never made, and which every one acquainted with him knew him to be incapable of using. Mr. Alderman GARRATT agreed with the worthy Alderman, and he had long thought it would be much better to throw the Court open to the public than to have their proceedings go forth in the way they had done. Such, indeed, had been the misre presentations and the obloquy thrown upon the Court, that no fair and honourable man would sit among them, and subject himself to such reproaches if they were allowed thus to go on. Alderman VENABLES entirely agreed as to the ne cessity of opening their doors. Nothing, he was convinced, would have been more beneficial to the Court had the Court been open, and their proceed ings been fairly before the public. He had made such a proposition some time since, and he thought the sooner they did it the better. Alderman WILSON wished for publicity, as it was very desirable their proceedings should not be given in the partial manner they had appeared. Certainly there was given to him what he never had said, and he had been made to state things of which he had no knowledge. Alderman COPELAND fully agreed in all that had been said, and he had, in consequence of the misre presentations that had been made, given notice of a motion to the effect proposed,which he would bring forward. A precept was ordered for the e i r: , t i m; o f a n Alderman for the ward of Pot tsoken. Pr ese ntments were made by some of tic ward inquest:, The cholera was in some degree known to the ancients, and HIPPOCRATES must have been at least ac quainted with it. His mode of treatment was with warm lotions. ARE - rus of Cappadocia, who wrote at the com mencement of the fifth century, has left a description of it which fully coincides with the disease that has of late years traversed Aeia into Etuope. UEEN-S Q UARE. Yesterday James Gardener, the go-cart driver, remanded from last week, was placed at the bar, before Mr. WHITE, for further examination, charged with assaulting two lads under very suspicious cir cumstances. it may be recollected that a lad named Charles White swore positively to the prisoner being the m an w ho attacked him in a lone street near the York-road, clapped a plaster over his face, and on his calling out for assistance, he ran away, when another man came behind him and threw him over a paling. There was another case against the pri 'soner for seizing a boy named Hammond, on Thurs day evening, about eleven o'clock, in Webber-street. James Brimmer, a workman employed at Messrs. Marisley's manufactory in the Westminster-road, on Thursday evening, about eleven o'clock, was walking home with a young woman, and just as he got into Webber-street, lie heard violent cries of " Murder;" at the same instant he saw the prisoner holding the boy Hammond. As soon as the pri, soner saw witness, he let go his hold of the boy, who ran away. The prisoner said that it was a regular plot against him,and the parties wanted to makeaproperryof him. Mr. WHITE should require the prisoner to itid two sureties in the sum of 401. each, to be answer• ab!e for his appearance at tho next Surrey Sessions, No bail being . in attendance the prisoner was re• moved. THAMES POLICE-OFFICE. Yesterday Captain David Inglis, the master of the ship Rob Roy, lying in the London Doclca, gave in formation at this office that hc, had been defrauded of 140 sovereigns, by means of the stale trick of changing his money, which was effected by two sharpers under the following circumstances : The Captain, a simply and weather-beaten ma riner, on Saturday last met two men of respectable appearance at a public-house in Great Tower -street, who commenced talking to him upon nnutic; N l sub jects, and made him believe thr.t they had seen him before. They do; - .k Soule liquor together for old acquaintatic e sake, and the conversation turned upon money. One of the men said he could produce more cash than the other, and this led to challenge him (the Captain) as to what sum he fi n d about him Ile told them he had , very iittle money with him, but he had got plenty of money on board his ship ; and soon afterwards he was induced, by offers of friendship from the two strangers, to tat akei,n to the decks, where they ding with liiro in the cabin of the th!p, aid made themselves very jolly at hi G el:peme. After the glass had circulate,' pretty freely, they all left the ship ; previous to which, he placed 140 sovereigns in a bag, and re turned with his companions to the public-house, where one of the men told him to taLe particular care of his money, as acre were a great many thieves in 1 4..:0nd0u. The stranger then pretended to roll up the bag of sovereigns in a piece of paper, and put it very carefully in the Captain's pocket Shortly afterwards the strangers disappeared, and the Captain, who by this time began to have, some suspicions of his " old acquaintance;" ,7t.

It will be remembered that previous to the final committal to Newgate of Bishop, Williams, and May, for the murder of the Italian boy, the entire dress of a woman was found in the privy of tire house adjoining to that which Bishop and Williams occupied at the time of their apprehension. The articles so found were on Saturday last fully iden tified as having belonged to a poor woman named Frances Pigburn, who suddenly disappeared about six weeks ago, and a warrant charging Bishop and Williams with her murder was lodged in Newgate on the evening of that day. Mr. Thomas has since then been unremitting in his exertions to procure ad ditional evidence, and on Monday night Michael Shields, the porter, who was discharged from custody on the previous Friday, came to Mr. Thomas at the station-house ; and having declared that he wished to do all in his power to forward the ends of justice, made a voluntary statement, which Mr. Thomas tool; down in writing, and of which the following is the substance : He said that he was employed by Bishop and Williams early on the morning of Sunday, the of October last, to go along with Bishop's daughter (Rhoda Head, alias 'Williams), into the Borough, and carry a trunk. Bishop and Williams called upon him at his lodgings in Eagle-street, Red Lion square, and called him up. He then accompanied them to Bishop's house in Nova Scotia-gardens, and when he got there Bishop placed a trunk upon his knot. It was the same trunk which Mr. Thomas .produced at Bow-street on the late inquiry. They all left Nova Scotia-gardens together—namely, Bishop, Williams, Mrs. Williams, and himself, arid proceeded to St. Thomas's Hospital, in the Bo rough. Bishop and Williams walked at one side of the way, and Mrs. Williams walked by the side of informal . , carrying a band-box tied up in a hand kerchief, for the purpose, as informant very be lieves, of giving the journey the appearance of a servant going to her situation. On arriving at St. Thomas's Hospital, he was joined by Bishop and Williams, and they entered the Hospital together, while Mrs. Williams stopped outside. The trunk having been deposited in the Hospital, they all went together to a public-house, to have some re freshments. Bishop not being able to sell the body at Sr. Thomas's Hospital, resolved on going to Mr. Grainger's dissecting rooms, and he (Shields) walked with him, leaving the trunk behind. When they reached Mr. Grainger's Anatomical Theatre, Bishop held a private conference with Mr. Appleton, the porter to the dissecting-rooms, which lasted a few minutes. They then returned to St. Thomas's Hos pital and fetched the trunk from thence to Mr. Grain ger's rooms. On arriving there Bishop took 4 body from the trunk for Mr. Appleton's inspection. It was that of a middle-aged female. At was a particularly fresh subject, and had not the appearance of a holly taken from the grave. There was no dirt upon it, anti informant observed that the hair of the corpse was dark and short, and that the subject altogether was thin and remarkably light in weight. Mrs. Williams was not present then, but remained at the public-house as a kind of pledge for what waatlartak until the money should be procured, 111", Apple• ton and Bishop bargained for some short time, and a price being agreed to, Ma. Appleton paid Bishop part of the money, and promised to pay the re mainder en the following day. Gin was then sent for, and - Mr. Appleton and all of them partook of it. Bishop, Williams, and informant then went back to the public-house, and four..; Mrs. Williams crying, on account of her baying been questioned about the reckonix,ig. Vishop went into a great rage, and paid it, saying he would never enter the housa again, nor should any of his friends. They then went away together, and returned o'er London bridge as far as Bishopsgate-street, and had some gin at a public-house thet.a where 'coaches btc.liped. Bishop paid for tj . .x gin, and informant Shot went away, Lets. Williams still retied possession of the band-box„ and it was 'lust in the same state as when, she took it foal 'home. II:shop paid in formant PI:, for the job, and said if that did not sa tisfy him he might have more to•morrow. Shield having made this statement k wa was so frightened when in custody thsa k. uid not know what to say, and was fearful i ka let slip any thing it might implicate 4iraaelf. - He now, however, wished to zacas,:, as far as lay in his power, for the par - which he had taken in that and the et.h,?: tams actions. Mr. Thomas, perceiving iha'.; the statement of Shields corresponded ;c:i.;- only with the time of the disappearanea of Fanny Pigburn (she having bacm seen last 6:sive on the night of the Sth of October, and Shields dating the above t(zaasuotion on the 9th) but also with the deacjption of her age and personal appesta - te, as described by her sister, and other situ saes, felt that the information was ims portant, and that Mrs. Williams was sufficiently im plicated in the transaction to warrant her apprehen sion. He accordingly proceeded to, Newgate yester ier husb an d, i mme di ate l y ctca custody there, whil e was waiting • and charg e d h er , b e f ore s d h a e y, t t a o ket: p h 4 er h after the fact, in the c i‘ o i n r. vez i ed s h il e u a LL to , i a , s hi a s n o a lfi e c c e essary wilful murder of Frances Pigbutn, add,:ng that lie took the prisoner into custody itt the lodge at New gate, about half an hoar before, and that on a future day he expected to produce further evidence against her, The prisoner wept bitterly while the clerk was writing down the charge against her and when it was entered, Mr. Altlistivi,t, asked her if she wished to 9ay any thing, at the same time erititioning. her that what ever she said would be taken down in writing, and might be made evidence against her. The prisoner replied—" I thank you, Sir, hut I want to say what I know ; I wish to speak the truth." She then went on to say that her father (meaning Bishop) called her up one Sunday morn ing at six o'clock, about six or seven weeks ago.— They were then living at No. :3, Nova Scotia-gal.- dens. He asked her if she would carry a band box for him. She asked, in reply, where did he want her to take it. He replied to the Borough. She then went along with her father, her husband, and Shields, over London Bridge, and when they got a little way over the bridge they came to a public-house, and her father told her to go in there and wait until they returned. They came again in about half an hour, and then they went together to another public-house, and had a pot of half-and-half and some pipes. There was no money to pay the reckoning, and her father left her there, and told her to stop until he should return. He came back and paid for the beer, and then they all went toge ther to Bishopsgate-street, and called for some gin in a public-house there. Shields then left her father, husband, and herself, and after that they all went home together. The prisoner added, " This is alk . I wish to say, I have nothing more to add." Mr. MINSiiULL—It will be my duty to commit you for further examination upon this charge to this day fortnight. Mr. Thomas said he thought he should be enabled to produce further evidence in a week. Mr. MissituLL—Then let the re-examination of the prisoner stand for this day week. As the prisoner was about to be removed, Mr. Thomas said, he believed she had not had any food that day, and as she was now about to leave his custody, he hoped that she would be allowed some iLiieshment. Mr..MINSHULL—Most certainly: tho gaoler shall provide her with what is necessary. No prit.oner shall want food while I sit here as s !,15igistrate. The prisoner was then removed in custody. CHOLERA MORBUS. SUNDERLAND, Nor. 27. (From the Times Correspondent.) As I had anticipated, three of the aged women seized with cholera in the poor-house died during the night of the attack. They had the rapid and most violent type of the disease. It is never at tended in its unmitigated progress with much cramp ; the cramps, if at all experienced, are slight, and the patient has little or no vomiting or purging. Th e symptoms present are those indicative of immediately approaching death : the prostration of strength is sudden and almost complete, leaving the patient motionless, the pulse disappears in an exceedingly short period, the natural hollows of the face are deepened into ghastliness, the nose is sharp, the lips thinned, and the skin cold and livid,—in short it may be said, that this type of cholera begins wit h ending symptoms of other fatal maladies. Had the poison which excited the rapid type of cholera in these aged women operated on young persons of sound constitution and moderate suscep tibility, we might have expected a very different train of symptoms, and which, if treated early, might have been subdued by proper remedial measures. In such young persons the pulse remains at the wrist for a considerable time : there are marked vomiting, purging, and cramps; the heat of skin slowly declines, and the extreme signs of collapse, described above, would only appear in the second stage of this the protracted type of cholera, and only in case the first stage had resisted all treatment. Sunderland is the place for singular occurrences. I had lately occasion to mention to you, 'hat before Government received information of the arrival of the Indian cholera here, suspected vessels were ad mitted to pass through, and almost in contact with, the shipping in the harbour, in order to ascend the river 'Wear, and take their allotted place of "obser vation" at Deptford, which lies above a mile and a half inland of the town. A striking antithesis to this :code of procedure has just been reported to me. A vessel from Hamburg, that intended to enter into the harbour, was compelled, as a, precau tionary measure, to turn back, to hoist the yellow flag, and to enter on a period of quarantine outside the port, There is an old adage about locking the door when the steed is stolen, and certainly it seems exemplified in thus enforcing quarantine on vessels, i lest they should communicate cholera to a town which had been dectated unanimously by the Go vernment authorities to have had the cholera for a period of three weeks. You are aware of the complaints made regarding the partial operation of the sanatory restrictions ; — ' the sea-communication from Sunderland being s e e_ milted to a long quarantine, while the land-passage is open on every side. The foLowing circurestanes will show, as it were practically, the apparent injte se tine complained of. 'When on the line of road,, this morning, leading towards Newcastle, I wee accosted by two poor Irishmen whom I had previously seen in a ream in Mill-street, where the were cholera patients. They informed me that, two of their i s )e ..h r e ea d a d u i tinsdft full lr r in p t te l i t rin e ep d rt i e s o : a a l ei s l, e et e. a nt the eo t hn h oe e u r • s e oe - f ffm where h r e e e n , r d e t sh had d e d O p e l l a e a d r i the two remarked, h e Mad himself been seized with mild symptoms last night; but feeling himself rather better in the morning, he had thought it advisable to leave the infected room, and proceeded to New castle lkith his comrade. Here, then, was the cholera on its road to Newcastle ! M. LARREY, OW Celebrated Pari s has lately effech4 same cures of hydrocele in a novel manner. The. process appears to consist in making a puncture a the hydrocele with a trocart (surgical instru me;t) defended with a sound ni elastic gum, and leaving , this sound in the tunics vittinalis until an adhesive in flammation is developed there. He instances several cures, and one in which hydrocele accompanied with hyda-- tides was cornplOely cured in this way.

A DROUTHY NET.—One hot, sultry Sun day, in July, w.eral years ago, when a late: Minister of Carnwath '.vat discharging his important duties in the Parish, Church, to a crowded audience, thee attention of the ctingregation was diverted from the discourse of the Rev, Gentleman, by the following singular occurrence :—An individual, whose appearance bespoke hint as denizen of that quarter of the parish, " where heather blooms, and moorcoslta craw," yclept Lang Whang, and who has since become celebrated through all elydesdile, as the Poet of Wishawtown, left his sett, walked along the passage to the pulpit, deliberately ascended the stair, and grasping with both hands the basin of water which was ro be us. d celebrating the ordinance of baptism, coolly drank off the contents, to the no small astonishment of the whole assero_ bly, then replaced the utensil, and resumed his seat with the greatest composure.
