POLICE IN7'ELLIGENCE.-TIIIS DAY. - MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A FOUND BRACELET.—Anne Pearce, a poor but decent-looking woman, living in Seven-dials, was charged before Mr. Knox with having in her possession a bracelet, supposed to b:.! stolen. Mr. Joseph Josephs, pawnbroker, of Crown street, Soho, sail that on the provious evening the prisoner off,?.rod a bracelet in pledge, stating in answer to his questions that she had found it. He had known the prisoner for soma years, and asked her if she would tell the same story to a constable, and sent for one. She was taken to the station, and charge 1 with unlawful possession of the braeelet. Mr. Krox asked Mr. Josephs what wai the value of the bracelet, aryl he sail that if broken up, it would be worth about £2, but that if sold in any shop to a lady, it, might be charged £l2 for. He knew nothing against her, and he believed that she found it. Police constable Kennedy, 114 C, said that be was sent for by Mr. Josephs, and the prisoner said she found the bracelet near her door. The prisoner said that on Friday morning she went out to get a pitcher of water and found the bracelet near the door. She showed it to her hus band, who said he would see if it was of any value. Her husband did so, and was told that it was not. Her children played with it, and last night, having no bread for her children to eat, she thought she could get a little on it, and took it to Mr. Josephs. Mr. Knox said he should discharge the prisoner, and if at the end of a short time the bracelet was not owned it would be given up to her. Inspector Morgan said he had had the bracelet tested by a chemist, and he said that it was not gold. Mr. Josephs asked the constable in the case whether the braelet was not tried in the inside ? The constable said it was. Mr. Josephs said that that sort of bracelet, although supposed to be, was seldom made of gold. He hoped his worship did not consider him to blame in the matter. Mr. Knox said he certainly did not. He consi dered Mr. Josephs had acted very properly, but pawnbrokers were not to know whether such things offered them by persons were not stolen, an I that if all pawnbrokers acted in a similar manner there would be fewer robberies. Mr. Knox kindly ordered the poor woman a trifle from the poor-box, to which Mr. Josephs added a small amount. WESTMINSTER.

She then kicked at hint in the most dangerous way, but he was fortunately but little hurt. Defendant—l don't remember having kiektd him I might have done so. I can't say. Mr. Selfe—Was she not drunk ? Defendant—Three glasses of wine wouldn't make me drunk. I was excited. Defendant's servant was called, and said she went out with her mistress last night because she was dull. She did not pull the other lady's hair down, and the manager took hold of her and pushed her back. She could not say whether her mistress kicked him. Policeman 100 S said defendant was most violent and bit him. Dennis, the gaoler, said she had been charged before. Mr. Selfe—Your conduct is most disgraceful and disgusting.

The prisoner entered the White Swan public house, in St. George-street, better known as Rat cliffe-highway. Yesterday morning, at half past eleven o'clock, she was very drunk and noisy and made use of very offensive language. She called for a glass of ale, which Mrs. Thompson, the bar woman, refused to supply her with, and requested her to leave the house. The prisoner re fused to do so, and took up a quart pot which she threw at Mrs. Thompson's head. The bar woman put up her right hand and arm, and received the blow on her wrist. The prisoner was about to re peat her violence, when Mr. William Jackson seized her and detained her while the potman went out in quest of a police-constable. In the absence of the policeman she made a violent assault on Mr. Jackson, and used very disgusting language and epithets. A police-constable named Joseph Soper, No. 45 KR, took the prisoner into custody, and she swore at him, declared she would murder biro, and repeatedly struck him, and kicked him. While the charge was being preferred at the station house she struck the constable twice, and tried to bite him. Sergeant Smith, an old and experienced officer 47 K, said the prisoner was too drunk and too excited to be brought before Mr. Benson yesterday (Wednesday), and he retained her till this morning. She was the most savage and disorderly woman in the district, and had been repeatedly convicted for drunkenness, violence, and disorderly conduct. The prisoner, whose face was covered with old sores and bruises, which gave her a repulsive appearance, and whose voice was very husky from the effects of long and continuous dissipation, said the bar woman at the White Swan threw water over her. The bar woman solemnly denied that she had ever thrown any water over the prisoner. Sergeant Smith—This is the first time the pri soner has ever said anything about water being thrown over her. Mr. Paget said the bar woman bad acted very properly in refusing drink to a violent, offensive, and drunken woman, but could not approve the con duct of the barman in detaining th e p r i soner, w hil e the potman went in search of a police-constable. The barman was not a police officer. He sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment for the assault on Mrs. Thompson, and another month for the assault on the constable, the sentences to b e consecutive, and hard labour with both. MARKE7 S-7 MS DAY. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. There was a fair supply of stock to-day, and a more healthy one in the trade. Of beasts there were 1,020, all English fed. The de mand ruled better, and prices in many cases 2d per stone higher. Of sheep and lambs there were 13,650, and for both there is a good, steady inquiry, prices tending against buyers. 558 calves offered, and met a fair sale at full quotations. Pork unsettled in value. Twenty pigs on sale. Quotations—Beef, 3s 2d to 5s Id; mutton, 3s to ss; veal, 3s to bs ld ; pork, 3s to Is 6d ; lamb 5s to Os Bd. COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE.

Coffee—The auction:to-day comprises som e fi ne E as . India coffee, and good qaalities of other description, fin which there is a good demand at full prices. Tea - There is rather more inquiry for common congou, China growth, and the market is firmer. Cocoa. - Several small sales of fine qualities of colonial have been made at late rates. Rico—For all kinds of rico on tho spot, and also for !bating parcels of soft grain, there is a fair demand. Saltpetre is steady iu value, but a slow sale.

ELEECTIUV lATELLIGENC'E. o- ----- WESTIIINSTER.—A meeting of the supporters of Captain Grosvenor and John Stuart Mill, Esq., residing in the parish of St.. Martin's, was held last evening at the Grapes Tavern, Bow-street, John Blackman, Esq., in the chair. There was a numerous attendance. The following resolution, moved by Mr. James Bailey, of the Reform League, seconded by Mr. James Bits, was unanimously agreed to : " That this meeting pledges itself to use every con stitutional means in its power to return to the next Parliament the lion. Capt. Grosvenor an 1 John Stuart Mill, Esq." It was also unanimously agreed to that. whilst the meeting recorded its hearty sup po: t to the latter gentleman, it viewed with regret • his disinclination to support the ballot. The meet ing, which was characterised by tae greatest una nimity, then separated. FINSBURY.—Mr. W. Phillips, of the Coal Ex change, has just issued an address to the electors of the borough of Finsbury. Having on a former oc casion contested the borough, he says he must de cline being again a candidate for the suffrages of the electors unless they think fit to convene apublic meeting and resolve to support no candidate who employs paid agents or canvassers. He goes on to say :—" When you remember the enormous sums spent on former elections by Messrs. Pe to and Challis, and that at the last election Mr. Lack (who in Parliament is such a severe economist) paid the ex travagant sum of £6,143 lls. 11d. for expenses, certified by the returning officer (which means that he spent about £10,000), most of you will, I think, agree with me that, quite apart from all questions of politics, it is high time this profligate and disgrace ful course was checked, and that your candidates, whover they may be, should have a fair field and au equal contest." Mr. Phillips says he shares in, the opinion of many shrewd men that the ensuing ge neral election will be the most costly ever known ; and observing hoe little the newly enfranchised have bawl consulted in the choice of candidates, he believes the new Parliament will disappoint the expectations of the people. - He concludes by stating that if he should remain outside St. Stephen's a few years longer he should content himself with the fact that he was iu very good company, and in any case he should continue - to support Mr. Gladstone most heartily. LAMBETH.---The district committees of Mr. M'Arthur comprise in the aggregate upwards of 2,000 electors. They hold almost daily sittings, and have organised a system of canvassing all over the borough. The other candidates—Messrs. Hughes, Doulton, Lawrence, and Hartwell —are, to a great extent, resting upon their oars with re spect to canvassing. Mr. Alderman Lawrence w.ll commence attending a series of meetings next week, and in a fortnight Mr. M'Arthur will do likewise. DEVON (NORTII).—The Right Hee. S'r Safford Northcote, Bart., Secretary of Slate for India, has just issued his address to the electors of North Devon. After alluding to the measures enacted dur ing the past session, he refers, in the following terms, to the Irish Church and Irish affairs gene rally :—" A question of the highest importance is likely to engage the attention of the new Parliament on its first assembling. It will be called ou to de cide whether we shall maintain, or shall begin to subvert, the Established Church. Believing, as I do, that the maintenance of an Established Church is of inestimable value to the nation, I shall be prepared to support it. A.l attempt has been made to draw a distiactiou in this respect between the case of Ireland and those of England and Scotland, but I can. see no reason for admitting it; and I am further of opinion that it is peculiarly undesirable to introduce into Ireland any measure tending to stir up ill-will between the different sections of her population, or to shake confidence iu the security of corporate or other property. Ireland has a peculiar claim on England for justice and sympathy. The people of England are anxious to accord her .both ; and the administratieu of the country has for many years—and pre-eminently of late years.—been car ried on in this spirit. Much has been done, but much still remains to be done, not only to devclope her material resources and to retrieve the hindrances to agricultural improvement, but to promote, har mony and confidence in the country itself, and in its relations with England and with the Govern ment of the United lilingdow. It would be much to be regretted that this important work should be interrupted by making Ireland the battle field of English party strife ; or that practical measures should be laid aside in favour of barren and irri tating religious controversy." ESSEX (Sourn).—A requisition is being signed inviting Mr. W. Strange-Mure to become a Con servative candidate for South Essex. It is under stood that Mr. Mure has consented to come forward on the receipt of the requisition. EXETER.—A meeting of about 2,000 electors took place on Tuesday evening. Mr. Frank Milford, banker, presided. Mr. Edgar liowring, C. 8., the Liberal candidate, addressed the meeting, and was cordially receivel. A resolution was carried pledging to give' him the hearty support of the Liberal party. The hon. gentleman expressei ad miration of Mr. Gladstone, of,whoru he was a humble follower. He was strongly in favour of the dis establishment of the . Irish Church, and also advo cated the ballot. NEWARK.—Mr Edward Denison, nephew of the Speaker, has issued an address to the electors of this borough as an independent candidate, still, how ever, agreeing with the Liberal leaders on the prin cipal topics of the day. NORFOLK (IN onTn).—The Conservative candi dates; the Hon. F. Walpole and Sir E. Lacon, Bart., addressed the electors at Aylsham on Tues day. The chair was taken by Mr E. Fellowea, M.P. for Huntingdonshire. To-morrow (Friday) the candidates will attend a similar meeting at Reepham. .N OTT S (NoßTH).—Nothing is with certainty known as to who will be the Conservative candi date to opposa the Speaker and Lord Clifton for this division. It is said, however, that one will be forthcoming at the proper time. Norrs (Soirrn).---The Liberals threaten an oppo sition in this division if the Conservatives contest the north of the county. It was thought at one time that Mr. Barrow would retire through old age, but it is now said, but not with certainty known, that the hon gentleman will seek the suffrages of the electors in conjunction with Mr. T. B. T. I.lild yard, the present member. Opposition here would be futile. NOTTINGIIAM.—No other Liberal besides Mr. Ber nal Osborne has signified his intention of contest ing this borough. Mr. Chas. Seely was mentioned last week, but nothing further has been heard of that gentleman. " A meeting of the Liberal party is to be held on the 30th instant, for the purpose of selecting a candidate, or candidates, as Mr. Osborne does not altogether suit his party in Nottingham. It is now said that two Conservatives will be brought forc.vard. Mr. A. G. Marten is expected in the town shortly, and were that gentleman in duced to join Sir R. Clifton, a tough fight would be the consequence. STROUD-Mr. J. E Dorington, jun., the Conserva tive candidate for the representation of the borough, addressed a large meeting of the electors and non electors at the Subscription-rooms on Tuesday evening. The meeting was a somewhat " stormy" one, Mr. Doringtou not being permitted to speak t dozen words without interruption. Mr. R. Potter, late chairman of the Great Western Railway Com pany, presided. Mr. Dorington first set herself to eorrect a notion that was generally prevalent that :chile we owed everything to Liberal Governments, we owed nothing at all to the Conservatives ; and lie proceeded to show that many beneficial mea- Aires hail been carried by Conservatives when in office. He then proceeded to state his views upon some of the chief political questions of the day, And among the rest that he was most decidedly op posed to the disestablishment of the Irish Church. Wadesou proposed, and Mr. George Holloway seconded—" That this meeting having heard Mr. Dorington, begs to thank him for his address." The :notion was unanimously carried. The Rev. E. Jacobs, an Independent minister, mounted the platform and propos2d another resolution—" That in the opinion of this meeting the present Govera ment and their supporters, having resisted every moderate measure of Reform, and having r assel the Fri:FL:at sweeping one for the sake of office, are utterly unworthy of the support of the country." A number of hauls were held up for this resolution and a number against it, and the chairman declared that the resolution was lost. TOWER HAMLETS.—Last night a crowded meet ug of electors and non-electors of the borough of the Tower Hamlets met at the Rose and Crown, Devon's-road, Bromley, near Bow Church, to hear from Mr. E. Beales an exposition of his political principles. This was the third of a series of meetings in the borough announced for the present week. Mr. Beltles addressed the assemblage at considerable length. He touched upon the leading political topics of the day, dwelling especially on the suggested dis establishment of the Iri.h Church, which he said was essential to the existence of a real union with Ireland, and to the preservation of the peace and safety of the empire. He spoke of the necessi y of amendment of the present system and adminis tration of the Poor-law, including an equalisation of the burden of the poor-rate throughout the me tropolitan parishes. He said that so much need was there for inquiry into the manner in which the rights and interests of the people in the common and forest lands had been injuriously affected that he should endeavour to protect those rights and interests. Having referred to the necessity of re moving the difficulties thrown by the New Reform Act in the way of the fair and unfettered exercise of the household and lodger franchise, Mr. Beales concluded his speech amid loud cheers. A resolu tion pledging the meeting to support Mr. Beales was passed, and the proceedings closed. 17ALK A letter from Rome, dated August '6, says : The Holy Father repaired to the Capuchin Nun nery of the Santissitno Crocifisso on the 2d August, and there, after assisting at mass, which was celebrated on his arrival, made the prescribed visit to the Blessed Sacrament for the purpose of gaining the indulgence of the Porziuncula. His Holiness was most warmly cheered on passing through the city and on his return to the Vatican, and was looking remarkably well. Your naval readers will no doubt have been greatly amused by the recent incident at Ancona, where the salute of the English fleet was not re tt rued Zor the first of the four aid twenty reasons alleged to Henri Quatro on a similar occasion, namely, that the fort possessed no cannon. Some of the entourage of the Pope suggested to him, the other day, that it would be an excellent joke to pre sent the city with a cannon bearing the Pontifical arms, with a supply of cartridges and a message to the effect that his Holiness was much grieved at the sorry figure Ancona cut among foreign nations, and begged to supply the . wherewith for returning a salute on future occasions. The Pope laughed heartily, saying, "It would give us .great pleasure were we not afraid that, as the present rulers of Italy are not well up in Latin, they might mistake a modus ludendi for a modes vivendi." Rome is rapidly becoming a vast camp, and General Dunont constaatly inspects and advises the operations of engineering in a way which proves how deep an interest the French Government takes in their being carried out effectually. The camp 'of Hannibal is in full activity, and the new recruits are to numerous as to tax the clothing and arma ment resources to the utmost. The Infant of Spain, Don Sebastian, is at the barracks of Sacro Ristiro, near the Janiculum, and is a model Zouave first in all fatigue duties, and showing an example of activity, zeal, and camaraderie which has been attended with the best effects, and has proved that n 1 covert political design induces him to engage as a private in the Papal army, but that, as he said himself on his first audience with Cardinal Auto nelli, the Pope had only a Catholic bayonet the more. The recruits who returned with M. De Charette are mainly Bretons and Dutchmen, and are a re markably fine body of men. Great vigilance is observed in the selection and admission of recruits, as the revolutionary party have spared no pains to introduce traitors among the Zouaves, but so far completely without success. Ge ierat Garibaldi has addressed a letter to the four gentlemen of Bologna who feted his son Menotti on his marriage, and which is published by the Antico.del Popolo, of the 29th July:— " My dear Friends, —I hoped much from the generous people of the Bth of August, to whom I am bound by love and gratitude. I have heard of your kindness to my son Masotti and his wife. " Like yourselves, this life of infamy weighs on me to which a handful of scoundrels have reduced our poor country by bad government. If I had been seconded, and understood last year by Italians, you and I might have saved our miserable land from so many miseries and degradations ; but unhappily, along with the heroes who have strewed a hundred battlefields with their bones, without asking other reward that to fight the enemies of Italy, there is always found a mass of canaille, of doctrinaires, who, the worst of traitors, under the pretext of principle and purism, abandon their companions on the day of peril. " Our people, however, without renouncing the cure of the body, should think of saving the soul, for what the devil does such a people want with liberty (sic in orig.) who prostrates itself every day before the priest—supporter of all tyranny—and the soldier, the most atrocious of the tyrants of Italy. I shall believe that our people wish for freedom when I see the shop of San Petronio turned into an asylum for the indigent, and when the bottle of San Gumaro shall be broken on the head of the neeromancing buffoon. " However, I shall die very unhappy if, in the day when you fight for the liberty of Italy—and I hope that day is near-1 cannot at least follow you in the ambulance.—Yours for life, " GIUSEPPE GARIBALDI." This is a pretty candid confession of two facts too precious and too cogent in their bearing on the past and present crisis not to deserve a passing remark. First, that the Garibaldian raid of 1867 was disa vowed and disapproved by men of principle and purity of conduct—in other words, by all who were not prepared to accept its monstrous excesses and its open negation of decency, religion, and humanity. Secondly, that liberty, as understood by Garibaldi, is not desired by the people, and that the masses are, as a whole, reactionary and Catholic. None here believes in the canard of the Mae Freie Presse, but as you will ere this is printed have received the Emperor's speech on the 15th, it is use less at such a distance speculating on its truth. The King of Prussia, it is also said, on the other hand, intends visitingßome this autumn, as a coun ter-manifestation to the Von Beust policy, but all these reports fall into the region of gossip, and have not taken any tangible root. Cardinal Silvestri's mission is looked forward to with little confidence, as, although the Emperor and the Court are strongly in favour of a good entente between Rome and Vienna, the revolu tionary party are very strong and numerous, and M. Von Beust is known to be most unfavourable to a renewal of the Concordat. The Consistory will be held on the 17th of Sep tember, or a few days later, and you will already have seen that Mgrs. De Merode, Talbot, Chigi, Raudi, and Ferrari arc to be raised to the Purple ; the two latter are the Governors of Rome and the Minister of Finance ; and Mgr. Chigi has dis charged the arduous duties of the Nunciature of Paris for several years, and his appointment will be a very popular one among the Roman Patri ciate. Mgr. Talbot has been long destined to this high dignity, but has always r.viested it should be deferred as long as possible, as his elevation will necessitate his renouncing his devoted per,o nal attendance on the Pope, by whom he is greatly and deservedly beloved. Mgr. De Merode's promotion was also one long decided on, and his elevation to the sacred College will be greatly rejoiced in in France and Belgium. The promotion of foreign cardinals will be greater in the next conclave than it has ever been before, and will pro bably have great influence in the election of the next Pope. The Cardinal Archbishop of Naples has issued a pastoral to his clergy, ordering them SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Dab .

He is almost reduced to poverty, as the Italian Government have never paid the revenue agreed on, and he gives his entire private fortune in charity, living like the poorest of his clergy. The King of Napl, , s is a daily assistant at the reviews and manceivr,2s at the camp of Rome di Papa ; but there appears no probability of the Pope leaving the Vatican this year for more than a day's visit to the camp.

TO THE EDITOR OT THE SUN. Sir,—The frequent occurrence of accidents by drowning at the seaside, which at present nearly all prove fatal, has given rise to much speculation as to the best time for bathing, whether after or before meals, &c., but it is curious how backward all attempts hare proved in resuscitating those bodies rescued from the water. This is mainly due to the fact that the apparently dead body so rescued falls into the hands of ignorant, innocent boatmen, or is su-rounded by a crowd of persons, frightened, alarmed, and k ►o±ked off their balance in the event. Another grave popular error prevails that it is of no practical use to be in a hurry about an appa rently dead body that has been in the water more than four minutes. Yet in this matter science has been advancing for the last three or four, years, though brilliant leading articles and humane societies seem not to be aware of it ; and there is nothing to prevent a thorough recovery of such patient (if we are to believe many extraordinary cases treated in America ani elsewhere) even after the body has been one full hour in the water. The mode of treating such cases requires no little medical skill, but the chief remedy is a form of electricity bequeathed to us by Mr. Faraday, applied so as to set up artificial respiration, applied accurately to the phreaic nerves as they pis.s3 along the neck. EleaLricity, as usually applied in such cases to the heart, according to the stereotyped rules of societies, only kills the patient tn)re effec tually.—l am, 80., CHI:ILES KIDD, M.D. Sackville,-street, Aug. 13. P.S.—Medical scien3e, or art, a Ivances in this and many other directions, though it has become a s. , rt of creed with a rising " of the period" that it stands still, and nothing can be done till medicine has become as certain and inductive as the nraltiplication table ; this inductive reasoning always going back to one law that appears so attractive. Yet this one law, or one remedy, ends universally in quackery. All our common place advances in the cure of the sick or dying are met with ridicule at first. Vac cination, mesmerism, Harvey's idea of the cir culation, ovariotomy, even chloroform were all met at first by bitter opposition and ridicule. Yet, to mention the last two, chloroform and ovariotomy, are now as well established blessings and facts as -any iu the world. We cure, too, now by rule of cha u') nearly all akin diseases, and nearly all cases of epileky. We delay the ravages of con sumption by cod liver oil, &c. ; but we should postpone far into the period of the Greek Calends all such cures, or even these late attempts to resus citate the drowned, if we waited for our societies and their jealousies, or the tortoise-like movements of the amateurs (never practical men), who expect induction to do everything, though L Baton himself says medicine is the least inductive of all the sciences.
