POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. • Yesterday an elderly man, named Freeman, was • placcdatthe bar, oua, charge of attempting to commit suicide. Police constable 119 stated thikt- Eibittst 12 o'elock . last night he observed the prisoner take off his hat, and place it, with an umbrella, on one of the seats on Lon don Bridge. The witness, suspecting his intention, ran towards him, bUt before he' reached the spot he had mounted the parapet. and was in the act of precipitat ing himself into the river just as witness seized hold of his coat. The prisoner struggled violently to get away, but after much exertion he was pulled down, and brought to the station-house. The prisoner, with tears in his eyes, said that he resided at N 0.22, George-street, Blackfrisrs-road, and bud a wife and five children, who were in a state of actual starvation, not having tasted food for two days. The contemplation of their misery drove him to distrac tion, and he made the criminal attempt with which he wai charged. However, he would promise, if he were released, to return to his wife and family. The wol thy Alderman who presided ordered the constable to make inquiries into the prisoner's state ment, and presented him with a sovereign to relieve his immediate distress.--He was discharged. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday, Sir Orates Forbes, B ►rt., of Fitzroy square, attended ro prefer a charge against the driver or the cabriolet No. 68, for having used insulting lan guage, and otherwise misbehaving himself, and exact ing snore than his legal fare. On the case being called on, Mr. W. Bradheare, of Summers-mews, Edgeware-road, the proprietor of the cab, made his appearance, and produced his driver, with his badge, No. 981, but Sir Charles Forbes said he was not the person who drove him. Mr. COMBE inquired the cause of the driver not being produced. Mr. Bradheare said that the driver new in attend ance was the only person whom he employed. • The driver 981 admitted that on Wednesday last, in the afternoon, about five o'clock, be left his cab with a man wham they called a " kid," in Piccadilly, and he took his cabriolet. Mr. COMBE asked Sir Charles Forbes when he hired the cab ? Sir Charles—At 10 minutes after 5 o'clock on Wed nesday afternoon, to drive me from the London Tavern, Bishopsgate- street. Mr. CourgE said that the driver was telling a lie ; his cab could not have arrived at the London Tavern in ten minutes. He could see through the trick. He in quired whether the " kid" could be produced if time were given ? The driver said that he could not produce him. Mr. COMBE said that the proprietor was bound to produce the driver or was liable to a penalty of 51, or two months' imprisonment, and he directed the case to proceed. Sir C. Forbes stated, that be was driven from the London Tavern, Biahopsgate-street, to Montagu-place, thence to Thompson's Hotel, Holles•street, Cavendish square, where he remained about an hour, anti thence to his own house in Fitzroy-square, when the person who drove him demanded 6s. He (Sir Charles) told him it was too much, when the driver was very impertinent. and d t is too em mu eh. He (Sir Charles) stilt r e f use d t o p a y hi m 65., but gave him saying, " I will g i ve you no more ; I b e l ieve that w w i t e h n t his a h r i m s door. a n " impertinent T he d r a i v t t e i r t t a b : kimbo, said, " You shall never go into my cab again.' His manner was impudent, and his language abusive and insulting, and he caused a mob of persons to assem ble about the door. Mr. COMBF. (to Sir Charles)—Have you ascertained he real fare? Sir Charles—l have been informed that t is 2s. Bd. or 3s. 4d. The butler of Sir Charles Forbes, and Godfrey Myers, servant to Mr. Charles Grant, of Fitzroy-square, corrob. , rated this evidence. Tile proprietor said, "I am very sorry. I hope Sir Charles Forbes will look over it." Mr. ComßE—lf Sir Charles Forbes would look over it, I would not. The public must he protected froln the insolence and mishohaviour of cab drivers, which have arrived at such a height that it is not safe to employ them. I will convict the proprietor in the penalty of 51. and costs, and in default of payment, two months' miprisonment in the House of Correction. Proprietor—l hope you will lessen it, your Worship. M. Comet —I will not. Unless the money is paid immediately, you will go to prison. Is the prison-van here ? Waddington replied in the affirmative. Mr. COMBE—Then you will go immediately by the van. Driver--I suppose I can go and get the money ? Mr. CoazaE—Go and get the money, or he will be committed. Henry Thomas Davies, driver of the cabriolet, 876, appeared to answer the complaint of Mr. Samuel Galkey, professor of music, of William-street, Regent's-park, for insolence, misbehaviour, and exacting more than his legal tare. Ti • The complainant stated that he was engaged to at tend the Birmingham musical festival, and he went by the defendant's cab from his residence to the terminus of the Birmingham Railway, a distance of half a-mile, when he demanded Is. 6d. Complainant remonstrated with him, and cautioned him as to the excessive de mand , but he insisted upon having it, and witness paid him, but was detained so long that he was too late for the railway. Mr. COMBE said, that it was a common practice with cat) drivers to impose upon persons going into the coun try by railways, under the impression that they could not remain to prosecute them. There was no such fare in the books as Is. 6d. for cab hire. The defendant was convicted in the penalty of 40s. and costs, or one month's imprisonment. Other cab drivers were convicted in penalties of 40s. and costs, or one month's imprisonment in the House of Correction for similar offences ; and Mr. Combo ex pressed his determination to inflict the highest penalties in all such cases brought before him, when proved by evidence. James Tebbenham, footman to Mr. Francis Bailey, Tavistock-place, Tavistock-square, was finally exa mined, charged with having dressed himself in female's attire, enticed men into his master's house, &c., and also with having robbed his master. The circumstances of the case have already been fully published. Mr. COMBE ordered that the prisoner should appear at the har attired in the woman's dress which he wore whew first he was brought up. On taking his position before the bench, all eyes were gazing upon his masculine form, and those who were not aware of his offence or sex, whispered, " What a monster." The prisoner leaned over the bar with his arms bare to the elbows, the bottom of his trousers tucked up, and dressed in a shawl, bonnet, and gown. He seemed quite abashed during the examination. Mr. Thomas Taylor, artist, of No. 40, Speldhurst street, St. Pancras, proved that he had frequently seen the prisoner standing at Mr. Bailey's door attired in woman's clothes, and that he had enticed witness and another young man into the house. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. ALLEGED EMBEZZLEMENT BY A COMMER CIAL TRAVELLER.—At the Police Court at Liverpool, on Friday last, before C. Rushton, Esi., stipendary magis trate, Mr. James Leathom, a person of very respectable connexions, appeared to answer the charge of Messrs. Lovett and Taylor, extensive soap-manufacturers, that be (the prisoner) had embezzled several sums of money amounting to 5001. and upwards. After the Magistrate beard evidence, he committed the prisoner for trial. - SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Tuesd a y morning, a b o ut teno'clock, ac cidentall y run o'clock, a child of Mr. Harvey's, No. 1 0 , Richard over in the Liverpool-road by a chaise. The poor child had both legs fractured, the head se riously injured, end ot her%i;o sadly hurt. Mr. Duran, a surgeon , instantl y a ttended, and reduced the fractures with s p lints. &c. This is the second case within a few month s of the same nature i treet, Liverpool road, Islington, was io the exact locality, although the previous accident was a fatal one, both arising from the carlessness of people al lowing their children to play about busy thoroughfares.

The fifth volume of this delightful work, which has just appeared, contains Walpole's correspond ence from the year 1765 down to the July of 1778 At this period he had passed the meridian of life, and was treading on the borders of old age, symp toms of which are easily discoverable in his letters, notwithstanding that they still cont'nue to be cha racterised by all their wonted ease and vivacity of manner. An occasional captiousness of remark—a peevish tone of remonstrance when speaking of some of his friends' remissness as correspondente-- a growing distrust of all public changes—and an exchange of the laugh, for the sneer, at the various follies of the day, together with a tendency to dwell longer on the history of his own physical ailments, than perhaps the exactest good taste would war - rant, though even here his egotism is neither offen sive nor wearisome ;—these are indications not to be mistaken, and denote the period of life which the writer had now attained, with quite as much cer tainty as the date prefixed to each letter. Another characteristic feature of the present portion of Horace Walpole's correspondence is the utter distaste every where expressed for anything in the shape of politics. So frequent and so pointed is the expression of this dislike, that we are not without a suspicion that it originated in disappointed hopes ; but if this were not the case, then it was most flagrant affectation in a man, si tuated as the writer wks, to ridicule or profess in difference to that froth which his father had dt rived all his influence, and he himself, in conse quence of that influence, his incerne. Had it not been for politics, the elder Walpole would have lived and died a private country gentleman ; and the i son, instead of enjoying himself at his Gothic show-box at Strawberry-hill, entertaining princes and dukes, and corresponding with all the celebra ted men of his day, would have been, perhaps, a mere drudging lawyer, unknown beyond the pre cincts of his Court. It is curious to observe, in the letters before us, how sensitive Walpole is on the score of ridicule, and how morbid is his apprehension of it. Hie correspondence, during his stay at, and after his return from, Paris in 1766. is full of allusions to Madame du Deffand—a blind old French lady, who had taken a great fang to him, and expressed her penchant after the fashion of the day, in such ardent terms, as he seems to think will subject him :o the derision of the fashionable and literary cote ries. Hence, in writing to his friends, he is anxious to impress on them the fact that he himself is an old man, and his fair Parisian admirer a still older woman ; and that her wit, good-humour, and ready conversational talents are the sole causes of his ad miration of her. How absurd is all this solicitude, and how strangely at variance with Horace Walpole's usual shrewdness and knowledge of the world ! Who would ever have dreamed of suspecting him of a Itaisoa with a blind Frenchwoman of seventy, or attributed his preference to any but the right cause—namely that he had found in her much of that vivacity and quick-wittedness which he himself possessed in such high perfection ? But the truth is, a fear of ridi cule was his chief weak point, as is often the case with those who are remarkable for their skill in using this powerful weapon. The Parisian Letters, in which this amusing trait of character is developed, .form decidedly the most entertaining—and we may add, the most valuable—portion of the present vo lume. They are penned in Walpole's liveliest and most pointed manner, and show that he had all his wits about him. The diverting anecdote—the arch repartee—the scandalous gossip —in short, whatever set the Parisian salons laugh- 1 ing and wondering, while he was in the capital, are noted down from day to day with an eagerness and I piquancy that show how thoroughly he enjoyed his task. How felicitous in its terse sarcasm is his account of the enormous wolf which, after having been the scourge of a French village, had been killed, stuffed, and sent to Paris, where its fame had arrived before it !—" It is as like a wolf," says he, .‘ as a commissary in the late war, except, n otwithstanding all the stories, that it has not de voured near so many persons. In short, now it is dead and come here, a wolf it certainly was, and not more above the common size than Mrs. Caven dish is. It has left a dowager and four young princes." In a similar spirit he alludes to the Prince de Caraman, who, he observes, " wrote from the country to excuse his not coming to see me, as his wife was on the point of being brought to bed, but begged I would come to them. So I would, if I was a man-midwife ; but though they are easy on such heads, I am not used to it, and cannot , make a party of pleasure of a labour." Here is \\'alpole's description of his presentation at Court, which is full of life and archness. The passing allusion to " Abraham's bosom" is a ready touch of humour that will call to mind some of the smartest things in Congreve : " You perceive that I have been presented. The Queen took great notice of tee ; none of the rest said a sylla ble. You are let into the Kin's bedchamber just as he has put on his shirt ; he dresses and talks good humouredly to a few ; glares et strangers ; goes to mass, to dinner, and a hunting. The good old Queen, 1 who is like Lady Primrose in the face, and Qiseen Caroline in the immensity of her cap, is at her dress ing -table, attended by two or three old ladies, who are languishing to be in Abraham's bosom, as the only man's bosom to which they can hope for admittance. Thence you go to the Dauphin, for all is done in an hour. He scare* stays a minute ; indeed, poor crea ture, he is a ghost, an 4 cannot possibly last three months. The Dauphiness is in her bedceaniber, but dressed and standing ; looks cross, is not civil, and has the true Westphalian grace and accents. The four Mesdames, who arc clumsy, plump old wenches, with a bad likeness to their father, stand in a bedchamber in a row, with black cloaks and knotting-bags, looking, good-humoured, not knowing what to say, and wrig gling about. This erretnony, too, is very short ; then you are carried to the Dauphin's three boys. who, you may be sure, only bow and stare. The whole concludes Kith seeing the Dauphin's little girl dine, who is as round and fat as a pudding. I saw the Duc de Richelieu in waiting, who is pale, except his nose, which is red."

Here is an instance in point. Alluding to the elder Pitt, he says, " from this moment I date the v%ane of his glory ; lie will want the thorough-bass ril . drums and 7 rim pets, and is not- made fur peace." The words which we have marked in italics, are admirably characteristic of Chatham as a statesman, and des cribe his qualifications as efrectually as could be done in a volume. He was essentially a wai minister, anti never so great as when directing the storm of battle, and sounding the drums and trum pets of detilnce against France and Spain. But in tranquil times his energies were apt to flag, for want of an em larged and bustling sphere of action. As a proof of the grace and sprightliness which Walpole knew how to impart to the merest trifles, we quote his account of the French method of training tre‘s:—'• The Academy de Belles Letters have even offered a prize for the man that shall recover the long lost art of an ancient Greek, Orpheus, who in -tituted a dancing- school for plan's, and gave a magnifi cent bail on the bit th of the Dauphin of Thrace, which was performed entirely by forest-trees. In all France there is no such thing as seeing a tree that is not well behavel. They are first stripped up, and then cut down ; and you would as soon meet a man with his hair about his ears, as aim oak or ashi. As the weather is very hot now, and time soil chalk, and the dust white, I assure you it is very difficult, po , ,vdered as both are all orer, to d s- tinguish a tree from a hair-dresser ! Lest this should sound like a travelling hyperbole, I inns: ad vertise your Lordship, that there is little difference in their heights ; for a tree of thirty years' growth being liable to be marked as Royal timber, the pro prietors take care not to let their trees live to the age of IL.ing enlisted, but burn them, and phut others, as often almost as they change their fashion." Haw lively and graceful is all this tri fling—the fairy frost-work of the fancy, as it may be called I But, as Johnson observed of Gold smith, Horace Walpole touches nothing that he does not adorn. In his hands, the veriest cominon place assumes an aspect of novelty ; and he throws a sunny spirit of joyousness over the dullest details of every -day life, though his vivacity is not the re sult of a kindly, cordial nature ; it has glitter but not warmth ; and satisfies us that Walpole, like Voltaire, was wholly deficient in strength and ear nestness of feeling. Nevertheless, wanting, as they are, in healthy sensibility, his Letters will always command the attention of the world, for their mat ter, not less than for their manner ; and we consider this edition of them—which besides being illus trated with terse, explanatory notes, contains several hundred letters never before published—the most entertaining and instructive work that has typeared for many years. THE PRINCIPA h BATHS OF GERMANE aker, , London, 1S 40. As yet, the first volume only of this work is published. and is confined to an account of the Baths of Nassau-Baden, and the adjacent districts, which just now are much in fashion with those of our English travellers who are—or fancy that they are—valetudinarians. Mr. Lee, the author, a mc dical gentiefflan of some experi , ntee, enters into minute accounts respecting the qualities of these mi neral springs, and patticularize s the maladies in which they will he found efficacious, and those in which they will be apt to have an injurious effect. Of the Wisbailen Baths he speaks in terms of the warmest approbation, observing that mo.it chronic rheumatic affectiJns will be removed or greatly re lieved b . y them. THE JOURNEY-BOOR OF ENGLAND. Knight, London, 1840. A work illustrative of the different counties of England, and which, we suppose, will be issued in monthly Numberi. The one before us contains a general description of Berkshire, its physical topo graphy, history and antiquities, its civil and eccle siastical divisions, roads, post•towns, markets and fairs, &c. ; and is embellished with twenty-three en , rayings on wood, and an illuminated map of the county. So far as we can judge, the work seems carefully enough compiled ; but, considering its size, rather too much space, we think, is devoted to details respecting Windsor and its Castle. THE LAW OF PERSONAL PROPERTY. Tyas, London, 1840. All the laws relating to personal property, such as right by occupancy, title by prerogative, forfeit ure, or custom, right through grant or gift, by con tract, bankruptcy, marriage, and so forth, are enu merated and explained in this cleverly digested little work, which forms one of a series of publications entitled " The Legal Handbook." .bIirENING EDIttiON. is ihi lime, I Wm i , xttoatl t lad LAyo lona and ex,pllcit tt4th many, who think as I tell you, and with a few 4 1 the other side, who are no less perinaded that there are such intentions." These remarks, it should to, borne in mind, are those of a man who was hiniself an aristocrat by birth, connexion, and disposition, and would naturally therefore be supposed to incline tavourahly to the ord2r to which he beloned, truth stood in his way, and this was au obstacle which he could not get over. After reading such accounts as the above, one almost ceases to commiserate the French aristocracy for the calamities thrlt befell them, a few' years later, during* the excesses of the Revolution. Ir their lot was a dreadful one, it was they themseives who provoked it. Like Shakspeare's engineer, they were " hoist with their own petard." In putting down Kings and setting up Goddesses of Reason, the French mob only followed the fashion set them by the French noblesse. On what principles of ins tice, then, arc the Dantons, Climi mettes of 1793 to be execrated as monsters. when the high-horn wits and philsophers of 1779, who preceded them in the task of demolidiing all reli giou,,, civil, and social Listilutions, are to be allowed to escape scot-free: If we condemn the one elas4 of anarchists, do not let its permit the others to gu unpunished. It is for the absence of this impartial spirit, that we protest against Burke's " Reflec. tions." We do not object to this celebrated work that it denounces the excesses of the mob ; but that it passes without censure —nay, even without coin. ment—the aristocratic excesses that provoked them and is horror-struck at the idea of plebeian atheism, while in patrician atheism it can find nothing to shudder at.
