G DISPUTED LIFE POLICIES. " A trial of considerable Interest to Lite Assurance Offices and the public was concluded yesterday in the Court of Exchequer. The Eagle Company held a policy for an assurance of 539/. in the Albion Company as security for an advanee, the payment of which policy was now disputed by the Albion, on the ground that at the time it was effected the inc . .: of the assured party hiving been a man of in temperate habits was concealed from the office. the chief evidence turtle npoit the question as to the degree of inteemerance that had been exhibited, and the re'n't was, that a verdict was given against the resisting office, not only for the amount of the policy, but also for 401. interest frctn the date when it became due. The circumstance of the action being brought by one office against another presents a stf,king illustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all po licies under the present system, and shows that the only mode by wh:ch absolute secarlty can be obtained by the public must lie in the general adoption by Assurance Offices of the plan of prole`ling them selves in every case by due inquiries before the gr.ottim f each po llee, and of afterwards assuming the full responsibility of the com pleteness of such inquiries by Welding themselves precluded from raisina• any future question. In the present case two offices are found to be diametrically opposed in their opinions as tc what can properly invalidale a claim, awl yet the public are expected to be able to guare themselves against such contingences. Similar cases have occurred before, and even if they were more rare, they would seriously Minn, the progress of life assurance. The very principle upon which the business is !Minded is the removal of uncertainty, and whenever that principle is counteracted in the slightest degree, the people who would be the first to resort to its advantages are the first to be deterred."—Times, July 11, 1830.

The attractive and important Property, equal to Freehold, known as The QUEEN'S HOTEL at CEIF.LTENIIAM, which, in poi,,t et arrangement, elegance, and accommodation, is acknow'edged to combine more advantages and comfort than an,y concern In the erm ire. The Hotel was built 'n 1837, at a coat exceed:DS 40. 0001 - ; and the at - cline:et availed himself not only of the previous inspection of other hotels, but the advice and a-sistance of one of the most ex perienced hotel-keeper{ of the day, and a survey of the premises Hill at wine show the perfection in their formation that has been achieved. The Establisionent forms one eid of 1311 'ERIAL:SQUARE, approached from the High-street by a gentle ascent, and the road to Montpellier, Lansdowne, and Suffolk-square, sweeps pact It, whilst the King's Ott Well, N 1 on tpe her Spa, and other attractive places aro close at hand; tae principal front of the Hotel •verlooks the extensive gardens in the centre of the square and the Imperial Pronte iade, and commands splendid views of the distant Ceti. weld Hills. The accommodation is so arranged as to combine the reception of families in separate ,uites of apartments, in the Continental fashion, as well as the Hotel and Coffee-room business.

The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England, and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2001.—making together 700/., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the ist of June, 1849, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631. 2s. 6d.: of these 121, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 65. sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 35. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums Since the commeneemeut of the Company to the lst of June last, assuraires were effected to the extent of 110,972/. 123 6d., pro ' (hieing in annual premiums 3,7321.

This motion was heard before the Master of the Rolls yesterday in his private room. It was an appli cation for an injunc!ion on behalf of the plaintiffi as successors to the Well known firm of Storr and Mor timer, jewellers and silversmiths, to restrain the de fendant from representing his business as a continua tion of that of Storr and Alortitner, and also from representing himself as their successor. • Mr. R, PALMER (who with Mr. Bird appeared for the plaintiffs) stated that he understood the defendant wished to answer the plaintiffs' affi davits ; but it ap peared to him that in all probability after the affida vits pro and con. had been tiled, his Lordship would direct the motion to stand over, with liberty to the plaintiffs to bring an action ; and therefore, in order to save time, he would, with his Lordship's permis sion, at once adopt that course. 111r.ROUPELL for the defendant, stated that he had not seen the affidavits, but his clients anticipated that the result would be more favourable to him than the plaintiffs imagined. . _ The MAsTisi, of the ROLLS observed that the de fendant could not prevent an action being brought, and the plaintiffs were willing to suspend the motion for an injunction in the Mean time. An action was then directed to be brought, and, the motion for the injunction to stand over. His Lordship will sit again this day (Tuesday) to hear pressing motions. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 19. (Before Mr. Commissioner FATE.) IN RE TIBBITTS. This was a renewed hearing of an application for an order from this court, that the assignees of Thomas .Tibbitts should withdraw their messenger from the possession of a farm occupied by Matthew Tibbitts, his son, also a bankrupt. Mr, Bagley appeared for the assignees; Mr. Plews for Matthew Tibbitts. The proposal that a compromise should be made by Matthew Tibbitts giving security for the property held, and the messenger thereupon withdrawing from possession having failed, Mr. George Lamb, the uncle of Matthew Tibbitts, was re-examined. He said that at the time the assignment of the farm was made by Thomas Tibbitts, in February, 1849, Thomas Tibbetts was not indebted to him any thing. He considered that the deed was executed by Thomas Tibbitts to secure him against a guarantee which he had given for Matthew Tibbitts. Mr. BAGLEY—DO you understand the deed ? The witness—l have read the deed over since, but I have come to the conclusion that it will take a very clever man to understand it.—(Great laughter.) The COMMISSIONER—I quite agree with you. After some other evidence, Mr. Bagley submitted that the petitioner had not made out any case that called for a reply. The maxim of the law was, that a plaintiff must rely on the strength of his own title. What title was there in this case ? The plaintiff, or petitioner, was a bankrupt without a certificate. The COMMISSIONER said he could not hold the doc trine advanced by Mr. Bagley. Nothing short of Mr. Bagley proving that the assignees of Thomas Tibbitts had a better right to the property than the person in possession would satisfy him. Mr. BAGLEY intimated an opinion, that if the case were to go to theassizes, the plaintiff must in the plead ings set forth that the property was his. To this it would be replied that the property was not his. The questions put by the Judge would be—was the Commissioner aware that the plaintiff bad no title ? If he had no title, what right had he to complain? The COMMISSIONER said that the first principle of the law was, that the man in possession of property was its owner, until another person should show that he was entitled to it. Ile should require Mr. Bagley to prove the title of his clients, whatever might be said elsewhere. Mr. BAGLEY then addressed the Court. He sub mitted that the entire facts of the case showed that the father was the occupier of the farm. The father was in a large way of business. His discounts dur ing the year ending June, 1850, with the Crown Bank of Norwich, which had a branch at Ely, had been no less than 60,000/. Only one cheque on ac count of rent had been paid by I\l3ltha,..Tiiii,:vie, titer's name for 1,1001., hut was now said to be worth little more than 3001. It was a remarkable circum stance that after Thomas Tibbitts had represented to Mr. II irvey, of the Norwich and Ely Bank, that he was the owner of the farm, and that he was worth 5,000/. lifter the payment of his debts, it should subsequently happen that the property was his son's. The bank had held a large number of Thomas Tib bias' bills upon three or four other persons, and it was a singular circumstance that the whole of the three or lour had become bankrupt on the same day. When asked what had become of his property, the reply of the bankrupt was that he had given hi 4 corn trade in October last to his youngest son. When asked what had become of the farm, the answer was, " Oh, I have given that to my son Matthew." The Comatissiorsea—There is quite a masquerade. Mr. BAGLEY continued—When asked what had become of other property, the answer was, " Oh, about a year ago I exchanged that with my wife's trustees ; and when asked what had become of the property received from the wife's trustees, the answer was," Oh, I sold that."—(Laughter.) He contended that the facts of that case showed, that in the pure region of Huntingdonshire, persons were to be found who were quite as capable of effecting frauds as per sons in the neighbourhood of Wbitechapel. Mr. Harvey said he was a partner in a bank at Norwich, having a branch in Ely. Their discounts of Thomas Tibbitta's bills during the year ending June, 1850, had amounted to 60,000/. About six months since Thomas Tibbitts had complained to him of the charge of the bank for discounts being at the rate of five per cent. per annum. He said that, being a person worth 5,0001., he ought to be charged only four per cent. He said he had 1,5001. locked up in the farm in question. He had added that he should dispose of his interest in the farm at Michaelmas next, and carry the proceeds into his business. Mr. Bannister, overseer, of Farcet, said that the farm had been rated in the father's name until June last, when the son had applied for his name to be in serted in its place. Thomas Tibbitts's name had been uniformly on the Parliamentary register. There had been a beer-house on the farm ; the name of Thomas Tibbitts had been inserted in the licence and over the door. It was not until June or July that Matthew Tibbitts had desired the licence to be transferred to him, and he had never previously complained of the rating of the farm being in Thomas Tibbitta's name, and not of his own. Mr. 'William Pears proved that Thomas Tibbitts had been always considered by Mr. Peppercorn, the agent for Lord Saye and Sele, as the occupier of the farm. Mr. PLEws having been heard in reply, His HoNoust said that the circumstances were ex tremely suspicious; he would, however, go through the evidence minutely, and give his decision on Fri day next. [PRICE SD. contrived by some pretext to obtain, and came up to London to renew his old parochial habits of lazy in dependence. It was with no slight degree of sur prise that Mr. Thwaites, the relieving officer, saw him walk into the office of tho. union the other day, and his dissatisfaction was not removed upon the fellow's application for the sum of 10, to take, as he said, his clothes out of pawn, although it was ac• companied with the assurance that be would never it,k the union for another farthing in any shape or way during the rest of his life. Alderman Gums said the defendant bad not only given great tronae to the officers of the union, but i had pursued a course of conduct calculated to inter fere with the advantages to which poor claimants were entitled by checking the usual operations of charity, The defendant was then sentenced to imprisonment and hard labour for one month, for having with per fect ability to support himself become chargeable to the psrish to which he had applied. GUILDHALL. Yesterday Wm. Rourke, who wcs charged about a week back with being concerned with others in the murder of a Mrs. Hourigan and her son, at a place near Bruff, in the county of Limerick, about three years ago, and discharged for want of sufficient evidence to convict, was again placed at the bar before Alderman Kelly on the same charge,' having been again apprehended in accordance with the wishes of the Irish authorities, who were apparently ignorant that he had been dis charged. The Chief Clerk, after reading over the depositions taken on several previous examinations, informed the worthy Alderman that the prisoner at the bar had been apprehended in consequence of certain in formation obtained from the police at Bruff. He had undergone several examinations, and was at length discharged by Alderman Fin nic, who complained very much of the gross neglect displayed by the Irish au thorities to the requirements of this Court in the prisoner's case. Information had been sent to the in spector of police at Bruff, who shortly after sent a very cool reply, furnishing no further particulars concern ing the murder, but merely stating that he had re ferred the communication of this Court to the super intendent. No further answer was returned, and the prisoner was kept in confinement, awaiting the plea sure, or leisure, of the superintendent of police at Bruff. A communication was made on the Bth of the present month to the head of the constabulary at Dublin, but no answer was returned. On the direc tion of Alderman Firmis a subsequent communica tion was made on the 14th, laying the whole of the particulars connected with the case before the Court, and the great neglect of the authorities in Ireland, before the Secretary of State, who communicated forth with with the Irish authorities. In consequence of this a letter was received on the 17th, dated the 16th (eight days after the official letter from this Court), requesting the magistrate to hold Rourke in custody, as they had every reason to believe that he was one of the parties implicated in the murders of the Hourigans. Alderman KELLY said, under these circumstances, and seeing from the evidence that the prisoner must have been in London at the time the murder was committed, he thought there could be no plausible pretext for detaining him longer in custody. If it were true, as had been sworn by several witnesses, and he had no reason to doubt it, that prisoner had been at work in London every day from the 3d of March, 1847, to the 26th of March of the same year, it was quite plain that he could not be concerned in a murder which took place in Ireland about the mid dle of that period. The Chief Clerk said that the communication re ceived from Dublin Castle on the 17th stated that an officer would be dispatched to London to take the prisoner over to Ireland, but no officer had as yet arrived. Alderman KELLY said it would not be right to keep the prisoner longer incarcerated, when there IN as not a tittle of evidence against him. The officer here said he believed that the prisoner, if set at liberty, would be forthcoming at any time when called on, as he had frequently expressed his willingness to appear, for the purpose of establishing his own innocence. Alderman KELLY said it certainly Appeared to him a mark of innocence on the Ka or thp uy Ultill sum 11 Diunuetlug lutuincr war . /IC should nut feel justified in keeping him from his work, and would therefore discharge him at once. The prisoner wa* then discharged. WORSHIP-STREET. Just as Mr. Haatiatm. was about to quit the bench on Saturday evening a tall and rather handsome looking German hesitatingly entered the witness box, and applied fur his advice under the following extraordinary circumstances: — The applicant, whose imperfect English greatly heightened the ludicrous effrct his strange complaint produced, stated that about three years ago he became accidentally acquainted with a young woman of very respectable family, and, his attentions having been favourably received by her, the acquaintance ulti mately ripened into what be had every reason to believe was a sincere affection upon both sides. After the courtship had been carried on for some time he had occasion to go into the country upon business which was likely to occupy him for a considerable period, and he, therefore, proposed to the lady that they should consider each other as man and wife, and that their mutual engagement should be terminated by marriage upon a renewal of the intimacy on his again reaching town. To this engagement, however,theyoung woman very strongly objected upon the ground that, as he was a foreigner, he might a /he interval meet with some of his own countrywomen, break off the acquaintance with her, and quit the country, leaving her in a• very unhappy position. She therefore in sisted that he should marry her at once, and as he had no reason to oppose to such a proposition, he readily assented to it, and the ceremony was shortly after solemnized. To his astonishment, however, his wife, who displayed a proper degree of affection to wards him in other respects, and occupied the same bedroom with him, would not consent to any matri monial intercourse, and notwithstanding his perse vering remonstrances, obstinately rejected all marital overtures for a period of nearly six months, when, he being tired of such a vexatious life, she consented to a temporary separation, upon condition that he allowed her a weekly maintenance, and divided the furniture fairly between them. A whole twelvemonth passed in this manner, when one night she suddenly presented herself at his house, and thinking that the cause of their unhappiness would then be removed, he gladly again received her, at her own earnest solicitation, and they lived together for another three months, but with pre cisely the same result and the same persevering ob stinacy on her part. The affair now became of too serious a nature to admit of any further temporizing, and he therefore decisively insisted upon her quitting his house for ever and going back to her friends, who had upon several occasions exerted the interposition of their good offices as far as they could do so with propriety, hut with no beneficial effect. With great reluctance his wife was induced to consent to this arrangement for a final separation, but very soon after repented of it, and asserted her right to be taken back a third time, but he felt that such a course would be wholly useless, from former experience, and therefore refused to have anything more to do with her, upon which she resolved upon course of persecution and annoyance, which had become wholly insup portable, as he could not go anywhere lately with out being perseveringly followed and importuned by her. Ile therefore wished the magistrate's ad vice as to what course he should pursue, as, al though he still felt a sincere affection for his wife, and would be but too happy to have her but for the facts he had referred to, he was in hopes that the cir cumstances were such as would entitle him to a legal separation from such an extraordinary woman, and that he would be enabled to marry another with na tural feelings and endowment s , or the only course left him was to throw up hi s employment altogether, and quit this country for ever. Mr. Iliaesttm. asked him how long he had been married to his wife altogether ? Applicant—Two years, but I will note hal her any more ; I will haf anoder, I most. Mr. IIAMMILL expressed his regret that be had no power to help him, and saying that this was certainly one of the most extraordinary applications ever made to him, advised the applicant to institute a suit in the Consistorial Court for a divorce, if he had the means of so doing, and as a first step to that end to place himself in the hands of one of the proctors, who would, no doubt, soon put him in the way of obtain ing the object he sought for. The German thanked the magistrate for the sug ge‘tion' .bat left the court in a state, apparently, of perfect cloqbt, and mystification. LAMBETH. Julia Rigby and William Jones were placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott foi final examination on the following charge of robbery : Mr. Frederick Hermitage of No. 66, Brook.-street, Lambeth, deposed that on the night of Sunday werk, at about eleven o'clock, while on his way home,. the female prisoner stopped him in Pleasant -place, near to his residence, and asked hisn to treat her to some thing to drink, and instantly made a snatch at his watch, which was in his left hand waistcoat pocket. "So great was the force she used that the ring, of the guard gave way, and just then the male prisoner, who had been previously standing at a little distance off, came up, and he (witness) distinctly saw the female pass her hand towards his. As soon as she did so the man exclaimed, " Look sharp, Julia," and both ran off in different directions. Witness followed the wo man until he met with a constable, and then gave her into custody, and on her way to the station she said that if he did not charge her with the offence she would return the watch. Policeman Henry Morton, 63 L, said he took the male prisoner into custody at two o'clock that morn ing, but before doing so told him he wanted him for being concerned with Julia Rigby in stealing a watch. The prisoner at first denied all knowledge of ►he transaction, but subsequently admitted it. The witness added that he was present when the fetneie prisoner had been tried, convicted, and sentenced to three months imprisonment at Kingston Assizes on I charge of felony. Both the prisoners, who declined offering any de fence, were fully committed for trial. TH A 411 ES. Thomas Beverley, master of the schooner Vivid, appeared to a warrant which was issued on Saturday, charging him with indecently assaulting Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Hay, wife of a respectable shipwright, re siding at Wapping. Mr. Barrel!, of White Hart -court, Lombard-street, attended for the prosecution ; and Mr. Smith fur the defence. The prosecutrix, a delicate-looking young woman, in answer to que.tions from her solicitor, stated she left London fur Peterhead, in Scotland, by the Vivid, on the 20th of June, and the voyage lasted for a week. She was the only female on board, and occupied the state-room ; the defendant, who was master of the vessel, and up to that time a friend of her husband, pledging himself to take charge of her, and to see that she was comfortable, as she wire advised to take a sh o rt sea voyage for the benefit of her health. About three o'clock in the morning of the 21st (the day after the vessel sailed) she was awakened by finding the prisoner Jyinit,. beside her on her bed. tier back was towarkft, and he laid his hand indecently upon het A* attempting to turn her round. Sh e t o ld him titir: he did nut leave, she would scream, and alarm 'gut crew ; and that she should certainly inform her hua;a baud of the circumstanc e ; t o w hi c h h e repl i ed, " Don't mind—no one need know anything about it," and again renewed the attempt, but desisted when she again threatened to rouse the crew by her screams. She arrived at Peterhead on the 29th June, and neat day wrote a letter (produced) to her husband, stating what had occurred, having previously made a memo randum whilst on board. To Mr. Is:Guam—The prisoner was in the spot tnent about ten minutes. bier husband went instriee diately to Peterhead on the receipt of the letter, but the Vivid had again left nine hours before his arri. val. He was delayed by some business at Peterheisci and the Vivid bad again left London before his re turn. Her husband had always been a friend to the prisoner, and had lent him money. Captain BeVkr• ley was a married man, and the father of children His family and Mr. Hay's were on terms of close in. timacy. In cross-examination by Mr. Smith, she said she' did not think it prudent, being a lone womaa f tp. mention what had occurred to the mate or any of tke crew, as the prisoner had desisted, and treated her with respect during the remainder of the voyage': She did not alter her bearing towards him lest it should attract attention, nor did she apply to a magic. trate at Scotland, being an utter stranger there. She did mention the circumstance to Mr. Moody, one of the owners of the vessel, who advised her, for her own sake, as well as for that of Mrs. Beverley, to ray nothing about it. On re-examination, Mrs. Hay stated that though abe had shown no marked altered manner to the prisoner, she was so desirous of quitting the ves sel that, though the weather was stormy on its ar rival at Peterhead, she went ashore in an open pilot . boat. George -Hay, a lad between 13 and 14, tiecolif panied hie mother-in-law on the voyage, and . slegt• in an adjoining cabin with his brother, nine ynnts old. On the morning after they sailed he heard an altercation in the state room, during which the pro secutrix threatened some one that she would scream out and alarm the crew. The noise lasted about ten minutes. He afterwards asked his mother-in-law what it was about, and she told him it was not fit for him to know. - To Mr. Smith—He was rather sick, and had trot spirit enough to go into the state room at the time. Mr. Smith, in defence, said it would be impoeiiibliso to answer the charge otherwise than inferentiilly. Was it likely that a woman, to whom virtue should be more dear than life, would not at one.r e e a a e reed Minor considerations at once overboard, with prudence into the bargain. An Englishwoman who gave such , an alarm would at once excite the sympathy cat-aiikaa!, Englishman for her protection. She had not, as would show by the evidence of the whole Cypfllfr i , altered her familial demeanour towards the defeo - after the alleged assault. It was distressing to the captain, who felt himself, knowing his own inrip cience, to be in an awkward position, having nn positive evidence. The case was prima facie im probable. The assault was alleged to hoe taken place the day after the vessel sailed. No complaint had been made to the authorities in Scotland; thes was no change in complainant's demeanour toward* the captain; and it was scarcely possible that any man holding such a situation would run such a risk. He called John Allen, the mate, who proved that during the voyage Mrs. Hay was as familiar with the captain, duriug the whole voyage, as any lady could be with a stranger. Mr. INGHAM—There can be no doubt he has been guilty of the assault. ctly coherent ;and T i h t e was g young tt woman's o story is be wondered tt that she declined to make any confidential communi cation to such rough persona as formed the cre*. Had there been another respectable woman on board, and had the complainant not communicated with her, the case would assume a different aspect. The com plainant had acted all through with great discretion, and made her communication to the most proper per son (her husband) as soon as possible. I shall, there fore, inflict the full penalty of 51. EIGHT LIVAS LOST LV THE 111ERSEI% LivearooL, MoNDAT.—At an early hour this morning the town was startled by the report that an ' accident of a very melancholy character took place on the Mersey yesterday evening, and that th • catas trophe was attended by a loss of eight lives. From the details of the affair, as we have been enabled to collect them, we learn that in the course of yesterday afternoon a number of persons from the Toxteth side of the river took possession of a small boat, a shrimpey, having one mast, with mainsail, without the know ledge or consent of the owners. They purposed crossing over to Easthain, and there spending the afternoon. Having got the boat fairly afloat 14 individuals, including two children, one four and the other seven years of age, took their places on board. Among the party was a young woman who had been married in the course of last week, and her sister. These two females bad charge of the children alluded to. They started for Eastham about two o'clock, and of their movements little can be learned except that at the tap-room in Nichols's Hotel they bad been regaling themselves during the evening with drink. After doing so they re-embarked, and were proceeding to return home. At the time there was a very strong inflowing tide, and the wind also blew rather fiercely up the river. At about eight o'clock, as the Eastham ferry-boat was leaving Eastham, considerable sensation was created on board by the alarm that the small boat just alluded to had suddenly sunk some hundred or two yards from the shore. A party on board the steamer, with whonx we have conversed, informs us that upon looking in the direction in which the boat disappeared, a number of persons were observed struggling in the waters At the time the most intense anxiety prevailed. Without much delay the boat belonging to the steamer was got under weigh ; before doing so silo sustained some slight damage ; besides, one oar was lost, which, as a matter of course, materially delayed her. The boat appears to have been manned by the mate and several others, and having proceeded in the direction, succeeded in picking up three men. and a boy. During this time the steamer also moved towards the scene of the disaster, whilst the boat, in the mean time, with all possible dispatch, took those rescued and placed them on board the steamer, where they were kindly and promptly attended to by Mr. Su perintendent Ride, who fortunately hal pened to b 6 on board the steamer, with a number or friends, at the time. Having delivered her charge, the boat re turned to the scene of the accident once more for the purpose of rescuing the others. A young but gallant seaman, Captain Stebbington, who was one of Mr. Superintendent Ride's party, jumped overboard and swam to the assistance of the drowning parties, and in conjunctio n with the steamer's boat saved two mo re. Of the individuals picke d up, two .appeared to be . 1 i h f i e p l b ; the yerev eevery were attention pisri.dNtoleth°heilm'i.' by the F ro m ell we can learn it i s feared that from ei g ht to e eiuosed t o was A nine persons have met a watery grave, and we greatly regret to be obliged to state that several of theta were in a state of intoxication. A fi , hing-boat, on her crew n e a ring off the distance, very promptly put off to the assistance of the sufferers, and had the satisfaction of saving one or two more.

Ills debts are said to be about 4,0001., his assets about 3,800/. Assignees were chosen, and Messrs. Mac killop and Young appointed the accountants in the case. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. John Reynolds, an able-bodied pauper, was brought before Alderman Glum, charged with having de frauded the guardians of the City of London Union of V. in cash and an outfit of clothes on the pretence of the intention and on the promise to go to' another country for a livelihood. The defendant had, it appeared, from the evidence, been what is call " following the sea" for the last five years ; but it was shown by Mr. Coleman, of the Ge neral Register and Record-office for Sealyen, that he had never proceeded further from the neighbourhood of his favourite union than Portsmouth or Plymouth, and that upon four different occasions he had been brought before magistrates upon charges of combined imposition and idleness. It was, according to the statements against him upon the present occasion, his constant practice to obtain berths and clothes adapted to his engagements, and to slip away from them immediately after he succeeded in turning de sertion into any kind of profit. About a month ago he was brought before a magis trate upon the charge of having deserted from a vessel at Plymouth, where he had been supplied with a berth through th e i n t er f erence of the board of guardians, and upon that occasion, uponl the sugges tion of Alderman Gibbs, his register-ticket was de livered to the Mansion-house officer, who was directed to see him safely and securely on hoard. That duty was carefully executed by the officer, who had re ceived particular instructions from the alderman, but notwithstanding all the ingenious precautions which were taken to g i ve th e Cit y U n i on a " happy rid dance," the defendant managed to obtain his dis charge. lie then disposed of the outfit supplied by the board of guardians, spent the 21. which had been jplaced in the care of the captain for his service upon the arrival of the vessel at_Sycluey, but which he had CHEAP EDITION OF THE WORKS OF MR.
