POLICE.—YanERDAY.

MARYLEBONE.--RONBERY P T A FEMALE. —Mary
Murphy was charged with steeling, and James Garretty
with receiving, a 201. Bank of England note, the property of
Miss Sullen, residing at 24, Albert-street, Mornington-
crescent. The prosecumix occupied apartments, and Murphy
was servant to the landlady. About a month ago she lost a
201. note, and, having a suspicion that she (Murphy) had
herself of it, questioned her, but she denied all
rnalTddge thereof. In a fortnight afterwards she left her
situation. On Wednesday last the prisoners called at the
shop of E. Benjan.tn, a clothes-salesmen, in High-street,
Bloomsbury, when Garretty selected a frock-coat, price
11. 165., and in psynent tendered a 201. note. Benjamin re-
fined to take it, as the parties were entire strangers to him'
Garretty then went away, having paid half a sovereign
deposit, and promising to corn- for the garment in a
few days. On Monday evening, he again entered the
shop, and presented the same note as before, when
Benjamin having taken it in his hands, told him that he
should not give it up unless he could be satisfied that
it was honestly come by. He offered to show Benjamin the
party from whom he had taken it, and they proceeded to-
gether along Tottenham-court-road, when he (Garretty)
suddenly made off, but was pursued and captured.—Police
men Davis and Hughes proved that Garretty said that a
young woman, his sweetheart, gave him the note. and the
latter stated that Murphy told him she picked it up, a lady
having dropped it as she was getting out of her carriage.
She knew she had done wrong, but did not like to own that
she kadit after making the dental which she had done —They
were both committed for trial.
WOILSII I P-STREET. —ESIREZZ 'AMENS.. Michael Jack-
son was charged with having embezzled various sums of
money, the property of his late employer, Mr. John Stevens,
a soap manufacturer, in St. Mary street, Whitechayel. The
prosecutor had employed the prisoner as a town traveller for
nearly five years, and it wee the duty of the latter, every
Tuesday and Thursday, to hand over whatever moneys be
had received in that capacity. It was recently discovered
that he had collected debts to the amount of 601, for which
he had not accounted, and he was therefore given into cus-
tody. Two clear case., in which the prisoner hml received
and appropriated the respective sums of 61. 24. 6d. and
91. 10s., having been established against him, he was'oom-
mined for trial, bail being taken forhis appearance.
THAMES.--ALLEO En MANALAVORTE R.—r. Prenkiah

injuries on the person of Samuel Bolter, thereby causing
his death. On Monday an inquest was held on the body,

house, and, suspectinitheir intentions were ttirob him, he also
entered: and found them surrounding him and soliciting him
for liquor. The complainant seexed to be alarmed and anxious
to get away from the parties, when he (the policeman) per-
ceiving that his gold guard-chain was broken, asked him if
he missed any of his property. The complainant imme-
diately replied that his watch was gone, and, upon this in-
formation, the serjeant went up to the woman Slaney,
finding she held one of her hands tightly clenched, he
it, and found the cold watch and part of the guard-chain.—
A female, who was in the bar of the public-house when the
robbery was effected, said that she saw the prisoner McLean
place his hand in the complainant's breast and try to force
him into • chair at the time the woman Slaney was near
him.—Wapshot and Jarvis said they belonged to the small
steam-vessels plying above bridge, on board of which they
were in the habit of frequently seeing the complainant, and,
happening to enter the public-house where he was that
morning, they accepted ot his invitation to take some liquor.
They, however denied that they had anyt,' - to do with

the robbery, aid said they were strangers to the other pri-
soners. The woman Kelly also pleaded her innocence ; but
Slaney, in whose possession the watch was found, said she
was iatoxicated, and did not know how it came there.
McLean also asserted his innocence.—Mr. Cottingham said
he should commit McLean and the woman Slaney fur trial ;
but the evidence against the other prisoners was of se slight
a nature he should discharge them. The magistrate then
directed that the two former prisoners should be brought up
again to-morrow (this day), in order to have the depositions
taken.

HAMMERSMITH.—SERIOUS CHAROE AGAINST AN
OMNIBUS DRIVER.—JorepA Rhoads, driver of a Ham-
mermaid' omnibus, appeared to answer a charge of having, on
the evening of the fith inst., at Knightsbridge, carelessly driven
over a man named Benjamin Collins, the husband of a
luondrese living at Hammersmith, by which several of his
rib. were fractured, his lunge injured, and his life for some
(Lye placed in imminent danger. —The prisoner had been
three times remanded, and each time admitted to bail. Yes-
terday the injured man having become an out-patient of St.
George's Hospital, was able to attend, although evidently in
a very weak state. On the evening in question, about seven
o'clock, as the man Collins was wheeling a barrow containing
five brisket: of linen along the Great IN esti rn-road, keeping
as close to the footpath on his proper aide as he possibly
could, when near the Knightsbridge barracks, he suddenly
heard some one call out, " Stop, you'll be over
the man," and at that instant he felt the heads of the
horses in the prisoner's omnibus on his &boulder, and
as he himself was crying out, he was knocked down,
and the omnibus wheels went over him, and what
afterwards occurred he had no recollection of. All the wit-
nesses concurred in stating that the omnibus was not going at a
furious rate, but very steadily on its journey ; and that it
was probable that the prisoner did not see Collins with the
barrow until it was too late to avoid the accident —The
prisoner declared that was the fact. He exceedingly re-
gretted the accident, and was ready to make any recompense
in hie power to Collins —Mr. l'aynter said it appeared to
him from the evidence that there was no criminality in the
case, which was, therefore, a question for a civil action,
which the injured MAD might bring either against the coach-
man or the proprietor of the omnibus, who was answerable
for the acts of his servant. As there was no criminal charge
substantiated against him, the prisoner must be dischar.
DARING ROBBERY OF TOOLS.—John Wright, a labour.
ing man, was brought up in custody from the Bow-street
police-court, where be had been twice remanded, on the
charge of stealing carpenters' tools. On the morning of
:Monday, the 22nd inst., as policeman Mitchell, F 149, was
passing a broker's shop in Drury-lane, he saw the prisoner
I offering a quantity of tools for sale. From something which
he heard the broker say to the prisoner, he went into the
shop, and asked the prisoner if the tools were his. The pri-
soner said he had had them given him by his brother to die-
pose of as well as be could, as his brother was on the point of
starting for America; but that story not being believed, the
prisoner was taken into custody. It was subsequently ascer-
tained they had the same morning been stolen, with seven
saws and other tools, from the tool-house of G. Scott, Esq.,
a local magistrate residing at Ravenscourt-park, Hammer-
smith, on which he is erecting several villa.—C. Eyles, the
foreman on the works, identified many of the tools, and the
prisoner was fully committed for trial.
GREENWICH.—FELONY.—A SON APPREHENDED BY,
HIS FATHER FOR ROBBING HIS MASTER,- Wm. Lawson SW
charged with stealing a cash box, containing upwards of sixty
pounds in gold and silver, the property of Mr. Halsey, a
grocer, of Deptford. Ihe prisoner had been about four
months in Mr. Halsey's employ. Mr. Halsey rose about 9
o'clock last Sunday morning, and went to breakfast, leaving
the cash-box on his dressing-table. The cash-box was mimed
about half-past 10 o'clock. The prisoner had gone out, and
left the door open. He gave information of the robbery at
the policrstation, and at 11.. mud 11 o'clock he was informed
that two men had taken the empty cash-box open to the
station-house, and stated that they had picked it up in a
brick-field at New-cross, together with a screw-driver, and a
letter addressed to the prisoner. The screw-driver had been
taken front Mr. Halsey's cupboard. The letter purported to
be from the prisoner's mother, lamenting in strong terms his
past conduct—J. Lawson, prisoner's father, deposed that
the letter produced was in the handwriting of his daughter,
who had written it at the request of her mother. He do;
stated that he met hie son (the prisoner) in Pimlico, on
Monday, riding on horseback. He seized hold of the horse's
bridle, and held the prisoner by the leg, and having dis•
mourned him, conveyed them both to a livery-stable, in
Broadway, Westminster. He then searched the prisoner,
and took from him 131. in gold, and 91..55. in silver. He
afterwards delivered up the prisoner and the money to the
inspector of the A division, at Scotland-yard station. On the
way to the station the prisoner said he had left upwards of
30/. in the cash-box, when he was alarmed by two men in the
field, who he was sure had picked up the cash-box, &c.—J.
Lunn, inspector of the A division of police, received two
parcels of money from the prisoner's father, whe said that
they contained 131. in gold, and 91 se. in silver, taken from
his son's pocket. On his way to the police-court, the pri-
soner said that he placed a pair of shoes at his master's bed-
room door, when be sew the cash-box on the drawers, sad
it suddenly came into his mind to take it ; be did so, and
broke the box open in a field and took the money, leaving
only some papers and a book, and mid that he did not care
what was done with him, as he could not be leading a worse
life than he was then. The prisoner had on at the time a
new frock coat, trousers, waistcoat, satin stock, shirt front,
and hat, which he said he had purchased with part of the
stolen money on Sunday, for which he paid 31. 14a.—Mr.
Jeremy said he should commit the prisoner to Newgate for
trial on the present evidence, but would remand him for a
wer k, in the hope of getting additional evidence as to the
money, &c. The prisoner was accordingly remanded to
Maidstone gaol.

MONET MARKET.

TUESDAY EYRNINO.

The funds have continued in the same declining
state as yesterday, when a fresh impulse appeared to be
communicated to the speculations for the fall. Consols
opened at 881, which was a shade worse than the hut prices
of yesterday. But money stock was brought upon the
market in such amounts that the quotation was maintained
for the shortest time only. Prices descended rapidly to 881
to 1. at which, after the shortest reaction of 1 upwards, they
left off. Tao parcels of Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
were done at 891, and 891 ex dividend for the opening.
The Bank broker sold about 16,0,101. Consols., sup-
posed for the savings banks, in addition to 10,0001.
more taken for the reduction of the national debt,
but disposed of for savings bank account These daily con-
tinued sales for the savings banks begin to attract attention,
and serve to corroborate the justness of the anxieties of those
who hive deeply reflected on the subject, that savings banks,
under their present constitution, laudable and philanthropic
as the objects of the institution undoubtedly are, may be-
come, as they generally do, of inconvenient when not peril-
ous embarrassment in certain states of monetary affairs,
when it is more than ever desirable that no extraneous or
more than ordinary pressure should he brought to bear upon
circulation and money values. If the legislature bad
lent an ear to sane suggestions when, in the time of
Mr. Goulbum, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, the savings
banks question was before it, the system might have been so
medified, not only without the slightest disparagement, but
with more than oompensating benefits, to the frugal indus-
trious depositors, as to save any injurious collision of their
',literate with those of the money market and the funds in
times of untoward tendencies.
