POLICE.-YESTERDAT.

to look for him : told him the pistol was in the cellar, and
that he hail fired it, but that there was nothing in it hut
powder and paper. David Hutson (city policeman 58)
Went to the premises and saw the last witness, who said to
him, "This man (the prisoner) has shot at some one ." and
the prisoner said, " The pistol is down below. I am not
afraid ; I will show where it is ;" and the pri-oner pointed
out where it lay, behind some barrels. In the warehouse was
found a piece of paper which smelt very strongly of gun-
powder, but no mark of a bullet was seen about the premises.
The prisoner made a very roundabout statement, assert-
ing that he had been harshly treated by some of tho men
employed in th? adjoining premises, of whom the prosecutor
was one ; that they had grossly insulted him, and the con-
duct of the prosecutor had been particularly aggravating.
" I had," said the prisoner, " to go up and down, and each
time to pass Nowlan as he stood at the door thre4cnii4'
and I had a pistol, loaded only with powder and paper, I*
my side pocket, and I snapped it at his breast merely to
frighten him, and to bring tile ease before the Lord Mayor,
or some other magistrate. I had that pistol, I assure soar
lordship, to protect myself against a combination which has
existed against me more than two years."—Mr. Sidney said
the prisoner Iliad been the faithful servant of Messrs. Eyre
and Moses for twenty-Eve years, and that those gentlemen
were convinced the man had no intention of doing any
actions mischief, and had no objection to have him back in
their service as soon as possible.—The Levi Mayor said the
prisoner had been guilty of a very gross offence, at all events,
for, supposing there nab no ball in the pistol, the wadding
might have struck the eyo of the prosecutor, and done
him irreparable mischief. His lordship felt that, although
the statements which had been made in fat our of the
prisoner would in all probability influence a jury, he had no
alternative but to submit the case to that tribunal.—The
prisoner was then committed upon the charge of felony.

OVlLDHALL.—Yesterday, Thomas Williams, aged 21,
and George trillions., aged 19, who had the appearance of
being artisans, were brought before Mr. Alderman Johnson,
on suspicion of being concerned in a daring highway robbery.
—Michael Casey, city policeman 294, stated that about one
o'clock that morning he heard an alarm in West-street, and
received charge of the prisoners from a gentleman. who ac-
cused them of having stolen a snuff-box from hail at a
public-house in Farringdon-street ; but the gentleman did
follow them to the station-house, and his address was
therefore not known. On coming up to them, Thomas
droppt.d a bar of iron he now produced (resembling a hoe of
a range), and George took a knife from his pocket. There
was a third man in their company, who ran away. On
searching the prisoners, he found on Thomas a letter, a
glove, and a measure, which had been stolen from a mast( r
tailor on the same night.—Mr. Wade, of Projean-square,
Old Bailey, stated that ho was assaulted and robbed as he
was coming from the Hand and Shears public-house, in
Cloth-fair, on the previous night. As soon as he got into
Bartholomew-close, he received a violent blow on the beck,
which threw him down. lie attempted to get up, but was
again struck on the lime and side of the head. This rendered
him totally insensible, and he was left lying like a dead
man. He was robbed his assailants of a ring off his finger,
a pin from his breast, his money, being 7s. or Bs., a measure,
and a letter addressed to him by a easterner. The letter,
measure, and glove, produced by the last witness were his
property.—Mr. Alderman Johnson risked him if he had any
opportunity of recognising the person or persons who
robbed him ? Mr. Wade said he had not. Mr.
Tebbutt, an accountant, living in Peter's-lane, said he
believed the prisoner George to be a man who assaulted him
with some such weapon as the bar produced, while he was
crossing Smithfield, a little after 12 at night, on Christmas-
eve. He was near the end of King-street, Smithfield, at the
moment when he received a dreadful blow from what he
supposed to be a life-preserver, which broke the brim of his
hat, and cut through to the bone. Ho turned round, and
saw a man, whom he believed to be the prisoner George.
Witness, finding himself alone, and fearing the prisoner had
associates at hand, made uo attempt to secure the man or
dive an alarm, but hurried home as fast as he could and gave
information at the station next morning.—Mr. Alderman
Johnson inquired whether the prisoners' lodgings had been
searched ?—The policeman replied that Thomas Williams
refused to give his trldress.— Mr. Alderman Johnson said.
perhaps the prisoners would tell him.—The prisoner
Thomas said it was in the Pancras-road, either 3d or 47 ;
did not know the name of the place nor the name of his
landlord. It was down a turning, and was near Pancras
Old Church.—The prisoner George gave his address.—Mr
Alderman Johnson said he should detain them, to give the
police an opportunity of inquiring for the ring and pin, and
as to the character of the prisoners. Perhaps, too, the per-
son who was robbed of a snuff-box would come forward.—
The prisoners were remanded till Thursday.
" H. B." presented a donation of if. Is. to the poor-box.

CLERKENWELL.—AN UNGRATEFUL CABMAN. —.folds
Burke, a cabman, was charged by Mr. Grayson, an attorney,
of Newcastle, with stealing a gold watch, value 17/.—Mr.
Grayson stated that be had been to visit a lady in College-
street, Doctors' Commons, a few slays ago. He hired the
prisoner's cab in Cheapside, and was drisen to several places,
and eventually to Mr. Hinton's coffee-house, in Red Lion-
street, Holborn, where he was stopping. lle had la en at
some public-houses, where he left a diamond ring and other
jewellery as security for refreshments with which he was
furnished. On their arrival at the coffee-house the prisoner
complained of poverty ; he offered him part of his bed,
which was accepted. The prisoner during the night bolted
out of the room with the watch, which bad been under his
head. The prisoner escaped at the time, but was soon after
apprehended. The watch was not found.—The magistrate
decided on committing him for trial, but remanded him for
the present.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Asseuer TN AN Oust-
nus.— William Howland was charged with smoking in one
of the Went-end omnibuses, and violently assaulting the
conductor.—John Evans, omnibus conductor, No. 1,466,
said he was driving along Oxford-street, about half-past
seven o'clock, with his full complement of passengers,
when one of the gentlemen inside complained to him
of a person smoking in the omnibus. lie put in his
head and saw the prisoner with a cigar in his mouth
lit; he requested him to put it out or leave the omnibus.
The prisoner swore he would do neither, and struck corn-
plainant several blows about the face and head, completely
smashing in his hat, and knocking him out of the omnibus,
down the steps, into the street. Complainant, as he could
not get him out of the carriage, shut the door, and pro-
ceeded on his way till he met with a policeman. He called
the constable, and wished him to take the prisoner into cus-
tody, but he became so violent, striking the constable, that,
at the policeman's advice, they proceeded further on with
the omnibus till another constable was got, and the prisoner
was then given into custody.—The prisoner said he was a
gentleman's valet, and that he had put the cigar out when
told to do so ; only the manner in which the conductor to'd
him to do it provoked him to forget himself. He hoped the
magistrate would treat the case with leniency.—Mr. Hard-
wick, after giving him a severe reprimand, sentenced him to
a fine of 505., or one month's imprisonmeut, for the assault
on the police-constable, and hOs., or one month, for the
assault on the conductor ; in all 51., or two months' im-
prisonment.
BENEVOLENCE,—From Anonymous, per Messrs. Coutts
and Co., 51. ; from C. S. K., 11. ; and subscriptions from
some members of the Union Club, 107., to be placed in the
poor-box.
MARYLEBONE.—Cflaturr.—The magistrate received
through the hands of Messrs. Coutts and Co. a dl. bank-note,
stated to be " the gift of an anonymous contributor," for the
poor-box of the court. C. S. K. also sent a sovereign for
the same praiseworthy purpose.
John Molloy was placed at the bar on the charge of
having stabbed Mr. John Mead, son of the landlord of the
Hope public-house, Stephen-street, Lis.son-grove.— The
prosecutor deposed that on Saturday night last the pri-
Moo was making a great disturbance in the house, and in
consequence thereof he was ordered to quit. Upon its re-
, fusing to go, he was, after some difficulty, ejected ; but in the
course of an hour returned, when, by some means or other,
he again entered, and renewed his outrageous conduct.
Prosecutor aided, that he made another effort to eject
him, and had got him as far as the door, when he (prisoner)
exclaimed, " I'll run this into you," and immediately stabbed
him with a knife or some other sharp instrument in the
lower part of the left side.—Mr. Trennery, a surgeon, said,
on being called to the Hope, he found the prosecutor had
been wounded in the side and upon one of his thumbs. The
wounds were both of a slight nature. Other evidence was
given by Serjeant Hannant, 8 D, by whom the prisoner was
secured, and Benjamin Kelly, the potman.—Mr. !dead
marked that he was fortunately very little hurt, and, as the
prisoner had a wife and family looking to him for support,
he had no wish to press for a severe punishment. He thought
I that a month's imprisonment would, perhaps, be a sufficient
warning to him as to his condnet in future. The case was
I ultimately decided by the prisoner being fined 40e. In de-
fault of payment he was committed for a month.
LAMBETH.—AN WAILDMISTAKE.—.IIe.r. M'Leish,
a journeyman baker, was charged with inflicting so serious a
wound on the head of a female, named Wood, that her life
is in great peril.—The prisoner came home drunk on Satur-
day night, and his wife, to escape his brutality, took refuge
in the room of one of the lodgers, and sent the young woman
Wood, to the room to endeavour to appease him. The pri-
soner was sitting at the fire when the young woman entered
his apartment, and the ruffian, without even looking at her,
but supposing her to be his wife, took up the poker and
gave her a desperate blow upon the head. She fell on the
floor senseless, and bled profusely from a deep wound in-
flicted by the blow—Prisoner : I'm very sorry, sir, for the
mistake; and am willing to make the young woman any rea-
sonable compensation.—Mr. Elliott: You seem to mistake
the nature of the charge. Compensation, indeed ! for such
a serious offence as that of which you have been guilty !
see by the surgeon's certificate before me, that the poor wo-
man is in a very dangerous state, and if she should die, vou
will certainly be placed upon your trial on the capital chirge
of having caused her death.—At present I shall remand you
until she is pronounced out of danger.—The prisoner was
remanded accordingly.
Mr. Elliott received half of a Si. note from A. J., for the
poor-box, which he requested our reporter to acknowledge,
as the other half will not be sent until the receipt of the
former is acknowledged. in the daily journals.
SOUTHWARK. —ASSAI:LTING THE POLICE.—Mark
Collins, Mary Collins, his mother, Mat y Conway, his sister-
in-law, Margaret Flagg, rty, and Ellen Carly, were charged
with creating a disturbance and violently assaulting several
of the policemen of the Id division in the execution of their
duty.—On Saturday, about two o'clock, as a tradesman was
walking quietly along Tooleysstreet, he was jostled against
by the male prisoner and 'thrown off the pavement into the
middle of the road. He remonstrated with his assailant, who,
instead of evincing any contrition, immediately struck him a
violent blow that knocked him down. A bystander, who
witnessed the ruffianly conduct of Collins, interposed, when
ho was also attacked and struck on the head with a stick, and
rendered incapable of making any resistance. By this time

MANSION-HOUSE.—Patrick l'oirer, a man who has
been several years in the employment of Messrs. Eyre and
Moses, of Crown-court, Philpot-lane, merchants, was charged
under the Ist of Viet., cap. 85, see. 4, with having unlaw-
fully and maliciously shot at William Nowlan. The prose
cutor, a porter in the service of Messrs. Teed and Bishop,
stated that the prisoner's employers occupied the upper part
of the premises owned by that firm; that between 8 and 9
o'clock on the morning of Wednesday last he had a dispute
with the prisoner about a water-pipe, which carried off the
water front the upper premises to a blind well in a cellar
belonging to Messrs. Eyre and Moses; that the prisoner
swore at him, and afterwards rushed out of the cellar, and,
retiring about three yards, deliberately fired at him with a
pistol, saying, " That's the way to strike terror into you ;"
that he heard something pass his car, and that he fell down,
supposing ho was shot, in which supposition, however, he
was mistaken, as he sustained no injury. The witness further
stated that the wadding of the pistol had been found, but no
bullet. Mr. Sidney (the prisoner's solicitor) : Is it not
notorious that the men who work with you do all they can
to make a butt end a ridicule of the pnsoner ~--The prose-
cutor: Not to my knowledge. George Bull, in the employ-
ment of Messrs. Eyre and Moses, heard some words between
the prisoner and the prosecutor, and saw the prosecutor
double his fists and put himself in a fighting attitude, at
which the prisoner snapped his fingers, and said he did not
care " that " for the prosecutor, and a tew moments after-
wards witness saw the prisoner go down into the cellar,
return speedily, and fire off a pistol in the direction in
which the prosecutor was standing, saying, "'fake that."
Thomas Holbeek stated that he bought the pistol for the
prisoner abase a year ago, at Mr. Field's, on Tower-hill, and
was told by him that he wanted it to protect a warehouse of
his employers. William Gill (city policeman 538) Was
sent for on Wednesday, in consequence of the pistol having
beau fired. He saw the prisoner, who said he was coming

four policemen of the At division came to the spot, and in
their attempt to secure the man who w.e the rigin of the
disturbance, they were set upon by the female defendants,
one of whom (Mary Collins), the mother of the wermaiul le prisoner,
armed herself with a cudgel, and being a po woman,
commenced using it over the heads of the policemen, while
her companions procured sterna, broken bottles, and other
s, ith which they attacked toe police us well as
others who interfered for the preservation of the peace.
During the affray, a mob of between 200 and 300 peraone
assembled, and it was with difficulty they were secured.
The defendants, one and all, declared the police were the
aggressors.—Mr. Seeker said that the conduct of all the de
fondants was violent in the extreme. lie then proceeded to
inflict heavy flues upon the defendabta, making a distinction
in the amount according to the degree of violence exhibited
by, each during the affray, and in default of payment, com-
mitted them for various periods, extending to six weeks to
!he House of Correetion.

WESTMINSTEII.—^%r. Rr Richards, barrister, was
charged with violently assaulting Dr. :Niko James Ber-
ridge Aldis, a physician, residing at 46, Chesteroiqusre, Pim-
lico. Mr. Vaughan, barrister, attended on behalf of the
defendant.—Dr. Aldis stated that on last Sunday week he
sitting in his parlour conversing with a gentleman
named Langley, when, in consequence of receiving a mes-
sage, he went up to the drawing-room, v. here he fmnd the
defendant. On his entering the room, defendant pointed to
a piece of paper on the table in the middle of the room. and
in an angry tone requested him to write an apology to his
mother. Complainant declined doing so. Defendant then
said, " Do you refuse to write an apology ? " and upon com-
plainant refusing to accede to his request, defendant gave
him a violent blow on the head, and kept repeating his
blows as fast as he could, and complainant was knocked
down. Complainant attempted to ring the bell, and
seize the poker to defend himself; but defendant
kept repeating his blows so rapidly, that he was knocked
on to a music-stool in a corner of the room, where
defendant continued his violence till complainant called for
assistance, and his wife and others rushed into the room.—
Mr. Vaughan addressed the magistrate at some length on
behalf of his client.—Mr. Broderip having expressed his de-
tsmination not to dispwc of the case summarily, ordered
defendant to find bail, himself in 1001., and two sureties in
501. each, to answer any indictment that might be preferred
against him at sessions. Bail was immediately put in.
CHARITY. - Mr. Brodcrip received 51 . through Messrs.
Coutts and Co., from an anon:, mous contributor, and 11. front
C. S. K., for the poor-box.

THAMES.—EXTEXISIVE PLUNDER.—Edreard Locksley,
alias Loughton, alias Locke, who has been remanded from
time to tune, charged with breaking into the house of the
Messrs. Marten, linendrapers, of Nos. 210, 211, said 212,
Whitechapel-road, and stealing 115 sovereigns and half sove-
reigns, together with a cash-box, in which they had been
deposited, was fully committed fur
Yesterday Thomas Fit henry, and Caroline Fitz-
hcnr y, his wife, were brought before Mr. Yardley, on a
charge of causing the death of their infant child, Mary, aged
five months.—Mr. Pelham defended the prisoners.—The
male prisoner is a gunmakcr, and resides with his wife, at
No. 9, Grigg's-court, Goodman's-yard, Minories. On Sun-
day morning, at half-past three o'clock, in consequence of
information, a police-serjeant named Sugg, 11 17, proceeded 1
to the house, and found the child dead on its mother's lap.
She was cry ang loudly. and said the child had died at her
breast while in bed. The father, who Was intoxicated, was 1•
also crying. The police-serjeant discovered the upper part
of the left thigh very much burnt, and, upon questioning
the father, he said the child was brought to him cold, and
that, while holding it before the fire for the purpose of re-
riving it, he accidentally scorched it, and that he afterwards
placed it in a warm bath. The deceased was described as a
tine, healthy-looking child. There were conflicting state-
ments made by the parents as to the manner in which the
infant came by its death, and Sugg took them into custody.
Several witnesses were examined, from whose evidence it
appeared the parents were very fond of the child, and always
treated it with the greatest kindness and affection. A long
investigation followed, and many suspicious circumstances
which first presented themselv:s were cleared up. The'
prisoners had previously lost two other children in their
infancy, but their affection for their offspring generally was
clearly established.—Mr. Pelham addressed the bench, and
Mr. Yardley said there was no evidence sufficient to justify
him in detaining the prisoners, and they must be discharged;
but it was absolutely necessary that a post mortem examina-
tion should take place, to ascertain the precise cause of death.
BENEVOLENCE.—Mr. Yardley announced that he had
received 31. from W. W., and 51. from G. 11. C., for tho i.
poor-box, the acknowledgment of which was requested in the lit
public papers.

RAILWAY NEWS.

The share market 'MIR lively yesterday, and the
transactions more animated than usual ; but prices are not
with material alteration.

There was a general demand far almost (very description
of stock at Liverpool yesti-rday, and the disposition to pur-
chase was evidently strong on the part of the public. The
favourite stocks, as Birmingham and Oxfard, and North
Staffords, were higher, the former 91, the latter 41, buyers,
and quotations were in general raised. Ambtrgates closed
p. ; Shrewsbury and Birmim.ham, A, 21. The reports of
the money market being very easy in London, may, pro-
haply, lead to a continuance of this increased activity in the
share market.
_ . .

In the Manchester market there was a farther improved
feeling. Most stocks experienced a slight advance. North
Staffords were done at 41 p. • North Westerns at p. ; for
Birmingham and Oxfords 101. was offered for next account;
Leeds and Thirsks were done at d dis.; and the Manchester
and Leeds shares were at an improved price. There was a
much better business done than of late, and the market
closed firm.
. _ . .

At Leeds, on the re opening after the holidart, the share
market was marked with greater activity than 'has been ob-
served for some time past, and we have to report an in
crewing disposition to purchase at improaed prices. Amber-
gates advanced from par to is. 6d. prem. ; Huddersfield and
Manchester from 4 prem. to 41 prem. ; Leeds and Think
from 10s. to lie. prem.; London and York from 4s. dis. to
2s. Gd. prem. ; whilst North British Quarter Shares declined
from 495. to 445. prem. In other lines there was a fair bust
nen done, with prices firm.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.—GREAT INDIAN PENIS-
sr-La.—The Bombay papers publish an able and unexaggcrated review of
theproopects of the umlertaking, in a letter of the chairman in Bombay
(Mr. It. W. Crawford) to the Governor of Bombay. Detailed surveys
have been made from Bombay to Pent, a distance of 108 miles. Front
Bombay, by Salient and Tannah, to the hill range on entering the
Cowan, there are no ditliculties. The hill called Godadunghur,
however, admits of being pierced by a tunnel, 1,417
yards in length. The line then ero.ses the plain of Kilian, and
ts carried by a tunnel of 1,620 yards through Dombernaut hills. At
a distance of 58 miles from Bombay, the line deuendo through the
Kholeton ttaninitt, to the valley of the Khola, at the foot of the Ohant.

Alla Khistd, chiefly between a river and a precipitous range. The
branch from Alla to Pent is 3318 miles, in the coures of which
the llurrectchunder range and the Aniboreh Khind are penetrated by
tunnels. Though the detailed survey+ have not been entrusted be-
yond Alla, Mr. Conybrarrs has examined two routes to Ougein and
Inslorr, and a thinl towards lloosung.thad. Mr. Clark has effected a
careful tesomnoissance in the direction of Sholapore. Along the line
from Bombay to Allah, tho mirth-work is exceedingly small : the
line, with the exception of the Wants, presents first-rate curves
and gradient.. The total cost of the described lines is
estimated at 1,927,3191.: the working' expenses as far as Allah (in-
cluding the Omit incline) at 74,0211.; and of the branch lints

struction. In thin estimate the carriage of salt has been omittedade

allowance is made either for increased transport., the ne-
canary consequence of increased facilities. We cannot pro-
duce &stronger testimony to the modem ion of those estimates than the
following remarks of the llemibuy Times, the archeceptic in Indian
railway matters " The estimate of the tea tic seems, soh far
ads we are
able to judge, moderate and ration:able, and on many ponts onsider
ably within the limits of what may be expected to be raised; and if
the outlay be not greatly underrated, the return to be looked for ought
to satisfy the most sanguine. Our own doubts have always been as to
the probability of a revenue arising which would pay; and though not
wholly resolved, they are shaken to a larger extent than we imagined
thee would have beer..."
