POLICE INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHWARK.—Thomas Holland, a carpenter and box maker, residing in Meetinghouse-court, Gainsford street, appeared before Mr. a'Beckett, on a warrant, charging him with committing a violent and brutal assault upon Amy Holland, his wife, a middle-aged female, far advanced in pregnancy. The complainant, a very decent and hardworking looking-female, on being sworn, gave the following evidence with great reluctance. She stated that she had been married to the defendant about five years, and had three children living, which she assisted to maintain ; and there was every prospect of. her being delivered of another in the course of 24 hours.. Within the last twelve months he had been much in the habit of drinking which caused her to remonstrate with him on account of the children, but he not only abused her, but some times struck her with great violence. On Monday week, the 21st inst., he came home and abused her, when she tried to get out of his way, but he caught hold of her by the throat and pulled her down. He then kicked her on the abdomen, which rendered her insen sensible for some time ; in fact, it was expected that premature labour would have come on. His threats afterwards were so violent that she was compelled to come to this court at last for protection, but now she bad no wish to be hard with him, if he promised to treat her better for the future. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said his wife's tongue was always going, and she aggravated him to strike her. He, however, had no recollection of kicking her. She quarrelled with him on family affairs, and he told her to hold her tongue. The complainant said she never quarrelled with him all she requested of him was to keep sober and attend to his family. Mr. A'Beckett told him be was a cruel, brutal fellow. He was not contented with beating her, but he must kick her when in a delicate state, and likely, to sustain a seri ous injury. He should not be doin g his duty to the pub lic unless he committed him to the House of Correction for three months, with hard labour. William Warren, aged 50, a porter, of 4, gancheater street, Bethnal-green, was charged with indecently ex posing his person to Caroline Moore, a little girl about 13 years of age, residing at Ben Jonson•square, Stepney. According to the evidence of the chill, who exhibited considerable intelligence, she met the prisoner in White- Horse-lane on the previous day. He asked her if ever she took any beer, to which she replied in the negative. He proposed to take her to the Victoria-park. When they got into the Mile-end-road, at a secluded place, he exposed himself. Police -constable 160 K stated that about half-past 3on the previous day he saw the prisoner, who was drunk, dragging the child along, in the direction of theVictoria park. The zhild was crying,. and when he (witness) in terfered, the prisoner said she was his own little girl. On questioning her, however, she denied it. She said she lived at Ben Jonson-square, and that the prisoner promised her a shilling to go along with him to the Vic toria-park, but she refused, and he dragged her along. Mr. Parker, one of the ushers of the court, stated that he saw the prisoner about twelve o'clock on the morning of the same day dodging two pretty little Jew girls out of the Mile-end-road into Fieldgate•street. Their ages appeared to be from nine to twelve years. He was par ticularly struck by the manner of the prisoner, and would have continued to watch his movements, but that his attendanc was required at the court. The ruffian was sentened to three months' hard labour. LAMBETH.—Byorder of the Commissioners of Police, Mr. George .Rhodes, proprietor of the Mechanics' Arms beer-house, in the Waterloo-road, was summoned for un lawfully opening his house for the sale of beer before the hour of 1 o'clock on Sunday, the 20th ins t. , the same not being for the refreshment a ,trav g llers. A second sum mons was for unlawfully opening his house on the same day, and for the same purpose, between the hours, of half past two and six o'clock in the evening. The de fendant sent his wife to answer to the summonses. Sergeant Harmsworth, of the L division of police, de posed that on Sunday, the 20th inst.. at half-past 11 o'clock, he, accompanied by a constable, went to the Mechanics' Arms beer-house, in the Waterloo-road, and upon obtaining admittance, he found no less than 75 customers. Of these numbers, 29 were in front of the bar, 31 in the yard, and 15 in a room up-stairs. Some said they were lodgers, though there was not accommo dation in the house for a tithe of those who said so, and the others asserted that they were travellers. They ap peared to be mostly stonemasons. Had no doubt they had been served with beer. The counter was filled with frothy beer, and the measures had all the appearance of having had fresh beer in them. Indeed, Mrs. Rhodes did not deny the fact herself of having served the party with beer. At half-past three o'clock on the same af ternoon he again visited the house of the defendant, and on being admitted found three persons at the bar, seven in the yard, and tour in the tap-room, all of whom said they were lodgers. All. these people had evidently been served with beer, from the appearance of the place. Police constable Reville, 125 L, corroborated the statements of the last witness. Mrs. Rhodes, in reply, said that in the forenoon a knock was given at the door, and upon its having been opened a large crowd of persons rushed in and closed the door after them. They then demanded beer, say ing they were travellers, and as such were entitled to refreshments, and if not served they should help them selves. Her husband was absent at the time. She, in terror of them as much as anything else, drew beer for them. In the afternoon the partie4 repre'ented them selves as traveller , , and as such she thought she was bound to serve them. Reville, the constable, here said the parties had not entered the house in a body as had-been represented, but in batches of four, five, and six at a time, and this was done with much caution, Mr. Norton—For my own part I should have thought that if the former act required any amendment it would have been accomplished by closing all licensed houses at 11 o'clock on the Sunday night, which would be early enough. The present act cannot, in my opinion, last, for the time of opening, from one until half past two, is not long enough for a publican to serve his customers and clear his house, and therefore I feel confident it must be repealed ; and, indeed, I feel much surprised the public did not oppose the passing of such an act. With respect to the much canvassed question as to who are travellers and who are not, it is my opinion that a person going from the east end of the town to the west is as much a traveller, and as such as much entitled to refreshments as the person going to Hampstead or Richmond —indeed, they are more entitled, for in one case the people go on business, and the other (the latter) for pleasure. A. publican, who has a house in the vicinity of the Waterloo-station, said it was perfectly distressing to hear the lamentations and entreaties of those arriving by the excursion and other trains after 10 o'clock on the Sunday night, to be served with a glass of ale or a pint of beer, an f nearly as distressing to be obliged to refuse them. On last Sunday night he sat outside the door, when a lady and gentleman came up to him, and the former almost implored him to give her a glass of ale. He was obliged to refuse her, but it went to his heart to do so, particularly in the state she was in—far advanced in pregnancy—but he knew if he did so an information would be laid against him, as a policeman was in sight. Mr. Norton did not think that if an information was laid, a magistrate would, under the circumstances, convict. The publican, in continuation, said that much difficulty existed with respect to serving travellers. The onus rested on the publican to prove that the person served was a traveller, yet it was not one case in a hundred that they could produce them. Mr.. Norton admitted that there was some force in this, and that the terms of the act were by uo means satisfactory. The defendant was convicted In a penalty of 40s. and costs. ' n BONA FIDE TRAVELLERS.—On S a bb a th l as t t wo per sons reside n t in Cupar had occasion to travel to the . country for a di s t ance o f a b out 14 ued and hungry, they called at a village inn and aaata for dinner. The hostess replied that there was no admittance on Sab bath. The travellers represented their plight to her, and explained in vain, that it was perfectly legal to provide person s i n th e i r circumstances with refresment on that day. She maintained her ground, however, and remarked to them, "Ye can carry butter and bread in yere pouches." They still peristed, and she served them at the window with a couple of biscuits, refusing payment for them because, as she said, " We're no allowed to sell onything on Sabbath." —North British Mail.

MURDER OF AN INFANT. an te g nn n u e s i va h l b udoe g rhod of reoeofexcitement Marylebone p p revticel4l in Yesterdaythe im me immediate court, in consequence of its having become g , nerally known that a female was .in custody for the heinous offence of having brutally murdered an infant entrusted to her care. After the disposal of several minor cases, the prisoner was brought before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Long. Her name was entered upon the police sheet, " Sophia Knight." Julia Barnes said--I am a married woman, and reside at No. 10, Praed-street, Paddington. The prisoner lives in the same house, and occupies the back kitchen. Last night, at a quarter to eleven, I was in the yard, and heard the prisoner make use of abusive and shameful language, but I knew not then towards whom it was directed. I looked through her window and saw her ill-using the baby. Mr. Long—You mean the baby whom she is charged with having killed ? Witness—Yes, sir ; it is a nurse child —a boy. Mary Anne Cook—l lodge at No. 10, Praed-street. Mrs. Barnes came to me, and I went with her to the back window looking into the kitchen. I saw the pri soner strike the baby twice, very-hard indeed. Prisoner —Can you swear that you ever knew me to be unkind to the baby ? Witness—l have heard you use bad language towards it, and you have many times said that you wished it was dead. Mr. Lawrence Ormerod, surgeon at the St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, said he found that the child was bleeding from the mouth and nose. It was in a miser ably emaciated state. It had a bruise on the left side of the mouth. It was dead when I saw it. Mr. Long told the prisoner, who had nothing to say, that she would be committed for the murder of the child, but as another witness was necessary, and as a coroner's inquest would be held, and a post mortem ex amination of the body made, she would be sent to the House of Detention, and brought up again on Tuesday next.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING TBE WELE. ( From the Report of the Reyistra-'•General. The Registrar-General's return informs us that in the week that ended last Saturday the number of deaths arising from all causes was 2,039. In the ten corre sponding weeks of the years 1844-53, the average num ber was 1,114, which, if raised in ploportion to increase of population, becomes 1,225. The prevailing epidemic has produced an excess, amounting to 814, above the corrected average. In the thirty-fourth week of 1849, which ended August 25th, the total number of deaths registered was 2,456. In that week the mean tempera ture was 62 . 9 deg. ; last week it was 61 . 2 deg., which is 11 deg. above the average. From cholera the deaths in last week were 847, while those from diarrhoea were 214. In the correspond ' ing week of 1849 cholera carried off 1,272 persons. In the present summer its weekly progress is traced in the following numbers :-5, 26, 133, 399, 644, 729, and 847. In the first seven weeks of the epidemic of 1849, the deaths were 9, 22, 42, 49, 124, 152, 389. In that year it commenced about the end of May, the healthiest part of the year; it began six weeks earlier than the present epidemic, and its progress was slower; but in the fourth week of August, as has been shown, it had reached a higher rate of mortality than the disease which now prevails has yet attained. 2,783 persons have already died of cholera; and 1,706 of the number have fallen on the low grounds of London, out of 595,119 people whose dwellings are not 10 feet above the Thames ; 705 have died out of 645,619 on the higher ground, extending from 10 to 40 feet above the same level ; and only 345 out of the 1,070,372 who live on the ground that has an elevation extending from 40 to 350 feet, The mortality from cholera to 100,000 living at the three elevations is 287 at the lowest, 109 at the middle, and 32 at the highest region. The following statement shows the localities where the epi demic has been most fatal :- Deaths from cholera in-London, showing the elevation in feet above Trinity high water mark, the population in 1851, and the number of deaths from cholera registered in each sub-district. The 847 reported were distributed according to dis tricts thus :-West districts, elevation above Trinity high-water mark, 23 feet ; population in 1851, 376,427 deaths 179.

BIRTHS IN THE WEEK. 856 782 1,638 THE CHOLERA. (From the Medical Circular.) The epidemic has 'no sooner come among us than it appears to be about to retreat. So soon as the public are struck with alarm, the rate of increase of the mor tality begins to diminish, and confidence is gradually creeping back to the hearts of the timid and d.,sponding. Is this visitation merely a menace of future havoc ? Are we to compare the tactics of our invisible enemy to the manoeuvres of our own fleet before Sebastopol ; few rockets are thrown up and shells fired at midnight; the foe awakes in alarm, lights his flambeaux, casts his shot into the furnace, when the fleet unexpectedly re. tires, leaving the surprised battalions to recover from terror and to abate their vigilance ? The illustration does not seem inapposite. We have an enemy among us which wields a more terrible weapon than any missile of human invention ; but, for the season, he has shortened his arm, and we are beginning to breathe with more freedom and security. Let us not, however, diminish our watchfulness, or suspend the carrying out of those sanitary regulations on which our future im munity must depend. We fear that the destroyer is only preparing for a more vigorous and fatal onslaught upon our homesteads ; we should, therefore, hold our selves in readiness to meet him. With the usual caprice of epidemics, some portions of this metropolis, which were fearfully scourged during the last visitation, have hitherto escaped on the present. The city of London, for example, has enjoyed, if n o t en tire exemption, the favour, at least, of being very lightly afflicted ; .and that part of the city of London surround ing the Fleet-valley, where the epidemic was pre emi nently mortal in 1849, has not yet, we believe, added a -ingle death to the bills of mortality, Some part of this privilege may be due to the more a.:tive sanitary in , pection now in force, and on this ground the citi zens have cauqe to be grateful for the able services of Mr. Simon, and the exemplary vigilance of the Commissioners of Sewers for the City. We can not, however, believe that this remarkable exemption is due entirely to this cause, but are inclined to think that it must be put to the account of those mysterious . . and inexplicable phenomena which have made the origin ' and progress of epidemics a problem to stir the curiosity, and mock the hopes of the most ardent investigators of truth. With respect to treatment, we cannot perceive that, up to this time, any novelty has been tried which has proved more successful than the old remedies, or any old method of treatment which has acquired a more assured success. Of the general systems, Dr. Stevens's saline method seems deservedly to enjoy the greatest confidence, and to be most extensively employed ; alter that the acids have been administered almost exclusively by some practitioners, and the reports of the result of their use are generally favourable. The calomel treat ment, whether on the IHdian plan of large doses or Dr. Ayre's plan of small ones, certainly dogs not appear to enjoy much support. Notwithstanding the pertinacity with which the use of the latter method has been advo cated, the higher class of practitioners in this metropolis especially the physicians of ho-pitals, do not seem to consider that its actual claims to confidence are equal to the pretensions which have been set up for it. Differences of opinion are still maintained on the point whether the purging should be considered curative, as nature's means of eliminating a poison, and, there fore, to be encouraged, or as the disease itself. to he arrested without delay. It is difficult to com prehend the advantage of artificially accelerating an action which is already going on with the utmost violence and rapidity, and which, unaided, must be amply sufficient, in a very few hours, to expel the poison, if it did not kill the patient. The medicines which have been administered under the impression that they exert a purgative action, appear to us to have a direct effect in controlling the evacuations which it is presumed they augment. Caster oil, for example, has been recently given, and it is said with great advantage, at King's College Hospital ;. but we believe that the true action of the oil is altogether misapprehended. Many surgeons are in the habit of administering castor oil, in moderate doses, repeated three times a day. for the relief of dysentery, and of a form of diarrhoea as suming the dysenteric character ; but it is not found to act as a purgative; on the contrary, after a few days' employment of the remedy, the irritability of the bowels has been appeased, the stools have become fmcul and firm, and the health has been re-established. Shall we change terms, and call purgatives astringents in these circumstances ? We do not theorise ; we are merely stating facts—facts which, we believe, the experience of hundreds of practical men can confirm. The real question appears to us to be, which is the quickest and the surest mode of restraining the intesti nal evacuations ? Shall we determine on the so called ourgatives—salines, castor oil, and croton nil ; or on as . - tringetits---as nitrate of silver, acetate of lead, sulphuric acid, catecliu, opium, &c.? Shall we adopt wholly Dr. Stevens's plan of giving salines, on the supposition that they not only control the evacuations, but also supply the lost salts to the blood ; or shall we aid the action of these remedies, however they may be introduced into the system, by the occasional use of catechu, as, if we remember right, Dr. Stevens himself recommends, or by the occasional employment of nitrate of silver, &c., taking care that, in the event of mineral salts being employed, too rapid chemical decomp .sition be prevented by allowing a short time to elapse before the salines be administered ? The latter plan appears to us to be the best, but we leave it to the judgment of our brethren. Experience must determine these questions. Our readers should remember that general state ments of so many cases of cholera having been treated, and so many recovered, under a par ticular plan, are of very questionable utility as evidence for the formation of a sound judgment on the influence of remedial agents. The science of medi cine cannot be advanced by such vague assertions, the value of which must always rest upon personal credit. In forming tables and reports, the leading symptoms exhiiiited by the cases grouped under each head should be faithfully enumerated ; that others, as well as the writer, should be able to form an opinion of the efficacy of the remedies that were administered. We know from experience that the difficulty of separating mid grouping a given number of cases is immense ; never theless, an approximation to truth cannot be attained unless it be effected, :mil it is done conscientiously, science will he placed under an obligation which in due season she will repay. We exhort our readers to keep accura'e notes of their cases, and when the pressure of present duty shall have subsided, to send us their reports, that the profession may be able to fix with more confidence upon some rule of practice in tiieevent o£ a future visitation.
