POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOITSE.—Mary Brown, a decent-look ing woman, about 40 years of age, was placed at the bar before Alderman Hunter, who sat for the Lord Mayor, charged with stealing a mat from the lobby of the Gene ral Registry Office for Seamen of the port of London, the property of her Majesty. Police-constable 165 H, of the Metropolitan Police, stated that yesterday afternoon, as he was on duty in Rosemary-lane, he met a man with a mat under his arm, and having received information that several mats had been stolen in the neighbourhood, he asked him where he got it from, when he said he had just bought of a woman for 9d. and a pint of beer, at a public-house close by, and on going there the prisoner was found to be standing at the bar drinking the beer, and in a piece of paper in her hand the 9d. just paid to her. She was then taken into custody. The prisoner, who declined to make any defence, was sentenced to one month's imprisonment with hard labour. Mr. Coleman, the chief clerk at the Registry-office, stated that it was the second mat stolen from the office recently, and numerous complaints were made of similar robberies in the neighbourhood. BOW-STREET.--In several common lodging-house cases which have lately been brought under the conside ration of the magistrates by Sergeant Hunt, of the F division, ,and the other officers acting under the authority of the Commissioners of Police, the landlords and pro prietors of the houses complained of having been re quired to enter into engagements to repair or whitewash the same, and, if necessary, to erect suitable closets. In the event of their not having complied with these direc tions within the time allowed, the work has been exe cuted by order of the court, and the expenses charged to the landlords, who are liable to be distrained for the amount. The yqung man whose application to Mr. Henry was noticed in our, police report yesterday, states that the canae„ uf the person complained of was erroneously given. .It was a Mr. Bensley A r th ur w h o answere d his adver tisement, • tisernent, and finally, .after exacting .IP/. as h. security, ; employed him tadistribut e i n d ecen t bill s . He appeared to have a shop at 3, Rathbon,e -place. The applicant's name wAs Harris. - i SOUTHWARK.—Mr. Benjamin Young, of Amelia row, Spa-road, Bermondsey, glue and size manufacturer, was summoned by Mr. Abraham Evans, the surveyor to the commissioners for improving the parish of Bermond sey, for maintaining a public nuisance by carrying on certain trades on his premises injurious to the neighbour ing inhabitants. Mr. Ballantine appeared to prosecute, and said the defendant, he was aware, was a respectable tradesman, and until lately had carried' on a - manufactory of glue and size, w hich the commissioners considered no t o b nox i ous, and would not have pressed for its removal, as there was nothing calculated in that to injure health or, de stroy life; but since then the defendant had added to his business the manufacture of stearine and British guano, in which matter in a bad state was rendered to a pulp and by means of sulphuric acid rendered of a very profitable nature. The stench arising from such a manufactory was so bad that the Ber mondsey commissioners employed Dr. Waller Lewis and Mr. Crosby, of Fenchurch-street, two eminent die mists to examine the place. They went over the pre-, raises, and were of opinion that the stench from the factory was calculated to spread low fever ; and as great alarm was then created in the metropolis about the cholera, it was feared that that epidemic might shortly appear among the inhabitants in a terrible form. He, however, was authorised to say, that if the obnoxious process was discontinued, the commissioners would allow the defendant three or four weeks to remove it and all other matters in the complaint. There were open drains also on the defendant's premises, which ought to be closed, and it was in the power of the Commissioners of Sewers to do so ; but they neglected their duty, therefore he could not reach that nuisance. If Mr. Young pledged his word that he:would not use sulphuric acid in his business, the commissioners would wait for a few weeks. They were determined to do away with the nuisance, and he said so not only on account of Mr. Young, but to let others know what their intention was. Mr. Lewis, who was for the defendant, expressed the wish of his client to avoid doing anything contrary to the public health, and said he had made arrangements for removing the business within a few weeks. After some little parleying between the learned gen tleman, the following capitulation was drawn up and agreed to : " The defendant to remove all the scutch and artificial manure deposited in his yard immediately from this time, and to close the manufacture of artificial manure. "To remove all the scutch and refuse, and the sloughs of horns in a putrid state, and not to bring upon the premises any other sloughs. To discontinue from this day the use of sulphuric acid and any other in the manufacture of scutch, and also the use of hydraulic presses in the manufacture of manure prejudicial to health. "The commissioners for improving Bermondsey and their officers to have permission to inspect the premises whenever they think fit during the next fourteen days." Mr. Crosby added that he felt satisfied that serious consequences would be the result to the inhabitants if not immediately removed. He had gone over the premises with Dr. Waller Lewis, and examined them carefully. The drains were open in some places. Mr. Ballantine—Have the Commissioners of Sewers been applied to on that point ? Mr. Drew—Yes, and all the answer they could get was there was no funds. Mr. A'Beckett—l have applied to them by letter, which Mr. Drew knows, and all the answer I got was that it should be laid before the board. Mr. Drew—Mr. Young actually arched over the sewer running through his premises, and as soon as the Commissioners found that out they had it broken open, alleging that Mr. Young had no right to do so without their orders. Mr. Young asked leave to allow the manure to re main, as he would cover it with clay. That would save him near two thousand pounds. Mr. Crosby said the manure could not be allowed to remain, as the stench emanating from it while covered with clay would be worse. Mr. Young said there would be a greater smell in re. moving it, but being all dry it would do Bo harm in re• maining there. Mr. Crosby said it would be dangerous to the health if not removed. The defendant then consented to remove it, and abide by the directions of Mr. Crosby. Mr. A'Beckett remarked that the Commissioners of Sewers had been alluded to, but no person was in court to answer for them. He should advise the inhabitants to memorialise the Secretary of State on the subject, and he was sure that he would assist them, as he had expressed his willingness to hear all such complaints. The summons was then adjourned pro forma for four teen days, to give the defendant an opportunity of com plying with the directions. The parties then left the court. LAMBETH. —Charlotte Williamson, a woman ap proaching 60 y ears of age, and John Williamson , a stiffbuilt young f e ll ow , nearly young enough to be her' g in d son, were placed at th e b ar ,b e f ore Mr. Elliott, on a chargeri of - robbing a gentleman,with whom the former lived as ser vant, to a considerable amount. From the evidence it ap peared that in consequence ofa l e tt er rece i ved by the mas ter of the female prisoner that gentleman put himself in communication with the police, and the resu l t was that Tapping, 285 P, on going to the house 48, Hale-street, Deptford, found both the prisoners there, and the place nearly furnished with the property of the female's mas ter. He at once took both into custody ; but it ap pearing that the male prisoner, who had been married to the female only a fortnight, had nothing to do with the robbery, but supposed the things belonged to his wife, he was discharged, and his wife fully committed for trial. .Tames Fox, a foreman on the extensive premises of. Mr. George England, the engineer, Hatcham Iron Works, Hatcham-park, appeared before the magis trate to answer a summons charging him with ab senting himself from the service of his master, contrary to his contract. Mr. England said, the defendant has been in my ser vice as a foreman sawyer for some years, but I have had to discharge several times for drunkenness. After I had discharged him the last time he obtained some subordinate situation, in which I understood he had but 15s. a week, and I was often grieved to see a man who could earn his 365. a week with me, and maintain his family so comfortably, assume the appearance of a sweep ; but at the same time hoped his reverse would be the means of curing him of his baneful passion for drink. ' When I had supposed him cured, and on his own solemn Promise to be steady for the future, I, five weeks ago, , . , , again took' ttfedefendant into my service, and, as be lore, our agreement 'Wail that he should have his former wages of 365. a week, that the week should be from ~ . i1 77,a3r, and that we should mutually give three days %ice to Part. ' Last Monday week he absented him self frein his work, and did not return until the Thurs day, and' then, not sober, and would not be taken ob.- Tne defendanta commenced his week by working on the 'Saturday fore clearly brokea part of the Monday, and had there two workmen under his is contract. The defendant had and the consequence of his ab .

'Y ou have said, Mr. gngland, that the defendant had n been inyou t r h e e m w p h lo o y le - , ment for five years. N ow, has he not daring Of that time evinced much anxiety to serv e y ou ? Mr. England—l believe he has • and I have said that a better man cann o t be When he keepsave s a o l b w e a r y . s Attorney—Did not thi s p oor man apply to your fac tory to be admitted, to recomm ence his work on the Thursday ? Mr. England—Very likely ; but at that time he was not sober. Why, I ask, did he not c on ti nue his work on Monday ? Was it not that he knew I was out of town on particular business, and took advantage of that circumstance to absent himself? I grieve at his folly. Attorney—Surely it is not your intention to have this man sent to prison ? M r . England—lndeed it is. I come here for the pur ' pose, and with the intention of calling on the magistrate to punish the defendant. I do so, however, very reluc tantly ; but having tried all other means, ,and treated k , . * -* ' In as he must confess, with every leniency, I do it for -- ,-/ft.e,_,.. - owiritfuture benefit. ~z,, Attbrney—Then what is to become of his wife, and ilic ,? ..

Mr. Elliott remarked that it was quite lamentable to see a man like the defendant, who had the means within his power of making himself and his family most com fortable, place himself in his present situation. It was quite clear that he had been treated with every kindness and consideration by his master, and that his 'conduct therefore was most improper and unjustifiable. It was at all times most unpleasant to him (Mr. Elliott) to send a person in the defendant's position to prison, but he should not be doing his duty on the present occasion if he did not mark his sense of his misconduct, and bis sentence was that the defendant be imprisoned in the House of Correction and kept to hard labour for 14 days. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. LATEST BETTING.—WEDNESDAY NIGHT. The Derby betting inflicted sore discouragement on the quondam backers of several horses which had been • prominent favourites in the market. Some of Scott's "lot " were all but " drummed out." 1,000 to 10 was laid against Ortolano, and afterwards offered. 1,000 to 30 offered against Acrobat, and 1,000 to 25 against Blight. From these movements it was inferred that Dervish would, after all, be the horse of the stable. Hesse Cassel, in Butler's stable, had also a downward tendency. 1,000 to 30 was repeatedly offered , against him. 1,000 to 20 laid ag ainst Lord Clifden s lot, bar Alembic, about whom 33 and . 30 to 1 were taken, odds which were offered against Marsyas. 1,000 even was betted between Meteora and First Lord. Autocrat and King Tom were backed for 1201. in one bet at 8 to 1 each, and 7 to 2 was taken to upwards of 4001. about them coupled. THURSDAY'S RACE'S.

SERIOUS CHARGE.—At the Birkenhead Police-court, the case of a lady of respectability, who was charged with having cut her child's throat, was brought up on Saturday. She is a married lady, of prepossessing appearance, about 24 years of age. The evidence adduced in, support of this very painful case, was as follows :—About half-past six on Friday morning, she was lying in bed with her husband and her in fant, about five months old, when she got out of bed and immediately returned. She then sat up iu her bed, and, with an open razor, deliberately cut the little innocent's throat. She then proceeded from her bed-room to that of the person in whose house she lodged, rapped at the door, and upon his coming out she handed him her child, which he perceived had received a severe cut in the throat. It was bleeding very much. He thereupon sent for a surgeon, and upon being asked to describe how she appeared. when she brought the child to him, he replied that she appeared to be like a person who had the horrors, and was completely out of her senses ; then he after wards went into her bei-room, and found her husband there, who had got out of bed, and, upen /peaking to him, he appeared perfectly bewildered, as if a man beside himself—not knowing what to do. The sur geon proved that two gashes had been inflicted on the infant's throat with sortie sharp instrument ; that he had dressed the wounds, and he believed with proper care that the child would live. And, in addition, he said, that she had, on a pre vious occasion, attempted to take the life of th e child by administering laudanum, which he had ex tracted, and saved its life ; and that she had also, on a previous occasion, inflicted serious injury upon, her own throat. Upon his being asked what he supposed to be cause, he stated, that he had been the attendant upon her family for some years, and that God only knew what trouble she had gone through. She is of highly respectable connections, and her husband formerly be longed to a very respectable firm in Liverpool, but from his dissipated habits and other faults, he had brought her to a very low state, so as to induce her friends to believe that she Is not now in a sound state of mind. The case was ultimately remanded until Monday, for the attend ance of the surgeon who bad been first called to see the child. She appeared to feel keenly her situation, and excited the sympathy of the whole court. Her husband was present during the investigation, but appeared somewhat cooler in the matter.—Liverpool Standard.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 14, 1853 ROYAL WEST INDIA MAIL STEAIt7 PACKET COMPANY. The dividend declared at the meeting of the Royal Mail (West India) Steam-Packet Company yesterday was 21. ps3r share, and the report and accounts were unanimo risly adopted. The whole of the discussion re lated to the increased expenditure arising from the ad vance 'in the price of fuel and freight, but it was stated that there was every prospect of an immediate reduc tion i n these items. In answer to a question it was menidoned that the Parana steamer had been found to be i n an unsatisfatory condition, and that she was now undergoing a strict examination. The following is an abstract of the report : "The proprietors are aware that the object of this half yearly meeting is to consider the working account of the first six months of the current year. Some notice was taken in the report of the last general meeting of the great additional charge for supplies of coal, and during the pre sent year the causes that have produced such an unprece dented rise in the rate of freights and cost of coal have not only continued to operate, but have increased to an extent almost, if not wholly, unparalleled; and this has materially affected all the contract steam-packet companies in tha kingdom. To meet this pressure for supplies of coal, the directors made arrangements for the shipment of 10,000 sons from the United States of America to depots in the West Indies, and as portions of this have already reached their destination, it is satisfactory to state that a suffici ency for the winter consumption is now laid in at all the stations, so that no reason exists to apprehend a failure in the company's engagements in this particular respect. It has been found necessary also during the current year, from the great general demand for engineers, sea men, &c., to increase in many branches of the service the rate of wages ; and these combined circumstances will explain the causes of the higher scale of disburse ments presented in the half-yearly working account. The shareholders are, of course, are aware of the fatal effects that have been created throughout the West• India Colonies and the Southern States of America 'as well as in the company's' intercolonial ships, by the ravages of the yellow fever, which, by rendering it fre quently necessary to send out supernumerary officers and men to supply the place of those who fell victims to the epidemic, added materially to the other expenses under the head of wages, &c., while at the same time it occasioned, as will be perceived, a material diminution in the receipts for passengers and freights ; but, this disease having at length providentially disappeared, there is every reason to hope that the traffic will speedily resume its former activity. The directors are determined to spare no exertions in order to fulfil their contract with the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and they will, consistently with the accom plishment of this object, exercise the strictest economy of the funds placed at their disposal, and use their utmost endeavours on all occasions to increase thti receipts of the company and to reduce its expenditure. In conclusion, after due consideration of all existing circumstances, the directors are of opinion that the usual rate of dividend, 2/. per share, should be declared for the first half of the current year."

Of all the accidents connected with the history of railways in this country it is difficult to conceive of one more singular in character, or more destructive in extent, than that which on Wednesday night occurred at the Reading Great Western Railway station, by which the shed covering one of the platforms was effec tually lowered to the ground, but very fortunately with out the loss of a single life. There are two stations standing in parallel line, called the "up and " down ;" to each there are of course attached the requisite booking-offices, refresh ment and waiting-rooms, and a long platform close to the line of rails. Each of these platforms is covered by a circular roof, about 200 feet long, and nearly 60 feet wide, built of wood and zinc, forming on the south side a part of the range of buildings, and supported on the north by a tier of iron columns. The goods train from Basingstoke is due every night about ten o'clock, and on Wednesday night it made its appearance at the usual time. The policeman in at tendance gave the signal for it to come in on the line of rails running close to the outside pillars of the shed. It appears that the side flap of one of the trucks was hang ing down so as to come in contact with the pillars, and as the train was going at considerable speed, the flap struck with great force against each successive pillar, forcing them out of the perpendicular, and as it struck the last, the principals across the upper part of the shed gave way, and the whole fell in from the centre with a tremendous crash, burying a number of empty carriages in the debris. The conductor, driver, and stoker on the goods train all escaped uninjured, though a portion of the building fell on some of the trucks in that train. It is regarded as a providential circumstance that the accident did not occur a few minutes later, or the sacri fice of human life must inevitably have been very great. The down mail was due at 10.12, and at the time of the roof falling was within view ; it would have had to have gone and remained under the roof whilst the passengers alighted and the mail bags were exchanged, and the stoppage of carriages usually occurring beneath the centre of the shed, the result could not have been other than most disastrous. As it was, the mail train was stopped by the signalman, and the passengers w ere con veyed down the li ne , and the carriages brought back to the platform from which the trains start for Newbury and Basingstoke. Without loss of time, information of the accident was forwarded to Mr. Beynon, the resident engineer, and he proceeded by the goods train to communicate with Mr. Brunel, engineer to the company. In the meantime Messrs. Orton and Child, the contractors for the main tenance of way, dispatched messengers for their men in different quarters, and by midnight nearly 200 had ar rived to commence operations, on the return of Mr. Beynon. The telegraphic communication is broken off, but by the directions of the head engineer the wires will temporarily be carried over the building, and the inter ruption in this respect will be very short. The damage arising from this accident is estimated at nearly 2,0001., and there will no doubt be an investigation as to whether the guard or conductor of the goods train has been grossly negligent in not discovering the flap of the truck hanging down before the arrival of the train at Reading.

LARGE WARMOUSES.—There is now in the course of erection, in Mount -street, Peter-street, a warehouse which, we are informed, will considerably exceed in size any similar building now existing in this city or it neighbourhood, if not in England. The building will cover the whole of the plot of land behind the Museum of the Natural History Society, bounded by Mount street, Winch:nil-street, and Museum-street, and upon which, for many years, it has been customary to fix the tents or temporary erections used for circus perform ances, when such exhibitions have been opened here. The building will consist of six storeys, including the basement, and will be at least 70ft. high to the cornice ; towards Mount-street it will have a frontage of 162 feet, but the slope of Windmill-street is such as to reduce the length of the frontage in Museum-street to 120 feet. The breadth will be 106 ft. This enormous pile is being built for Messrs. John Pender and Co., merchants, of Dale-street ; the architect is Mr. James Donnison, and the contractors, Messrs. Hay, Nish, and M'Kean. As far as the erection has yet proceeded, the outer walls consist of substantial brickwork, faced by massive stone work, with rustic dressings ; and we understand that, throughout, every recent improvement is to be intro duced. We have heard that a new warehouse for Messrs. S. and J. Watts and Co., of Fountain-street, is shortly to be commenced in Portland-street ; and that it will be still larger than the one for Messrs. J. Pender and Co. STATISTICS Os' WRECKS.—The following is the awful summary of 1850 :—The wrecks of British and foreign vessels on the coasts and in the seas of the United King dom were 681. Of these, 277 were total wrecks ; sunk by leaks or collisions, 84 ; stranded and damaged so as to require to discharge cargo, 304 ; abandoned, 16 ; total wrecks, &c., 681 ; total ves lost, 784. In the year 1851 the wrecks on our coast were 701. Of these, 353 were total wrecks, or sunk, or abandoned, and 348 stranded and damaged so as to require to discharge cargo. The number of lives lost (so far as could be as certained) was 750. The most disastrous portion was the month of September ; and in the heavy storm of the 25th and 26th of that month, 117 vessels were stranded, while during the whole month the number amounted to 153, or more than five a day ; thus affording additional proof of the necessity of snaking the utmost efforts to avert so much calamity. But the past year, 1852, has far exceeded in respect to shipwrecks the two former periods in amount and f a t a lity, no less than 1,100 ves sels havi ng b een wrec k e d on th e s h ores of th e B r iti s h isles, an d th e num b er o f li ves l os t ( as f ar as cou ld b e ascertained) being abo u t 900. The greatest havoc took pl ace a b ou t th e l atter en d o f l as t O c t o b er an d begin ning of November. In this interval no less than 600 ships sought refuge in the Humber. Many more, however, could reach no shelter ; and thus, in the course of a few days, the unprecedented number of 300 vessels were lost or damaged, with the fearful loss of 217 lives. The greater part of this terrible work of destruction took place on the cast coast of England off Flamborough Read. 895 794 630 539 398 232 BUILDING. B To u n il n d a e g r e. e Horse.

The following Acting Lieutenants and Mates, R.N., passed for Lieutenants at the Royal Naval College to-day :-- For Lieutenants.—Messrs. Mead, Chads, Gregory, Maitland, Cambier, and Brinkman. The following young gentlemen were also admitted into the Navy by the same Board of Examiners : From Mr. Eastman's Preparatory College.—Mr. E. Austen (son of the gallant and respected Admiralty Superintendent of the Packet-station at Southampton), Mr. W. W. Smyth, and Mr. R. Evans. Mr. J. Vidal, Mr. J. Dunlop, and Mr. 0. Lang also passed through the Naval College—all as Naval Cadets. WATER-SPOUTS IN THE CHANNEL.—The Blenheim, 60, screw-guard-ship, Captain the Hon. F. Pelham, came into Spithead this morning from her Channel cruise. She had a narrow escape from an immense water-spout, when off St. Alban's Head ; they immediately bore up, and fired a shot at it, at the same time prepared to batten down hatches. The water-spout passed about three-quarters of a mile under her stern in fearful proxi mity to a schooner and cutter. The Blenheim reports hav ing seen upwards of half a dozen water-spouts during her short cruise in the Channel. The one in particular off St. Alban's Head presented an awful appearance, the sea bubbling up like breakers with a mighty roaring sound, and the sun breaking out the moment gave it the effect of a crimson column, and fearful to look upon. The Encounter, 14, screw-corvette, Captain O'Calla ghan, was paid wages yesterday, and sailed to-day for China. Mr. Woodcock, chief engineer, R.N., late of the Barracouta, was ordered to proceed in her to rejoin his ship, but when the Encounter's steam was up and ready to transport him, the Admiralty took second thoughts about him, and telegraphed for him to be left in the Victory for further disposal. PLYMOUTH, OCT. 13. Her Majesty's ship the Queen, 116, Captain F. T. Mitchell, in consequence of special instructions from the Admiralty, has had her repairs completed with every dispatch. It is expected that she will be towed from Hamoaze into the Sound this afternoon. She is destined for the Mediterranean. Extra hands have been placed on the foremasts of the Agamemnon, Imperieuse, and Desperate, and it is ex pected that they will be placed on board those steam ships in the early part of the ensuing week. Mr. John Ward, boatswain of the Desperate, has re ceived the thanks of the Royal Humane Society for jumping overboard and saving the life of John Prideaux, an able seaman, who was thrown into the sea when the Desperate foretopmast was carried away, on the 9th of September last, off the coast of Ireland. Mr. Ward had previously received two silver medals from the Society, and this is the tenth instance of his having rescued his fellow creatures from drowning by his daring intrepidity. COURT MARTIAL.—A court martial assembled yester day morning on board the Impregnable, flag ship, Cap tain Arthur Lowe, to try George Frisk, " for that he, when in autual service, and serving on board her Ma jesty's steamship Hogue, did, on the 28th of July, desert from the said ship, and take away with him cer tain money or moneys belonging to the ward-room officers, which had been entrusted to him by Mr. Robert Colder Adams, to pay certain bills on shore." The court was composed of the following members :—Commodore Michael Seymour, president ; Captain John Kingcome, St. George ; Captain F. T. Michell, Queen ; Captain R. B. Watson, Imperieuse ; Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, Agamemnon ; Captain Arthur Lowe, Impregnable M. Captain W. W. Chambers, Desperate ; Captain H. M.
