POLICE.—YESTERDAT.
MARYLESONE.—ROBBERY AND DP.STRUCTION or
PROPENTT.— T. Sturdy and F. l'illbeam were charged
with having stolen varicloi articles from the house of Mr.
James, landlord of the Wheattheaf, Edgware-road, and also
with the wilful destrisction of property. On Saturday night
last the prosecutor's house was closed, and it
a quarter be-
fore five on Sunday morning the front door was found open,
and on a constable going in he law brandy, rum, and gin, as
also compounds, running from taps, no fewer than 28 of
them having been turned on. The inmates were aroused,
and on their coming uown stairs and examining the pre
mises, they discovered that the spirits, &c., which had fallen
on to the floor of the bar from the casks had run into the
cellar, where it was nearly ankle deep, and several men were
emaloyed for four or five hours in baling it out with cans and
bowls; 900 gallons of different kinds were, by the malignant
and diametral proceeding of some parries, rendered valueless
to the prosecutor; about ten shillings in silver and
copper money, as also wearing apparel, a plated candlestick,
and some other things, were missed from the house.
It was proved that the prisoners were in the tap-room on
Saturday night in company with a person sailed Billy Mann,
sad ell of them quitted the room at 12, upon their being
desired to do so. Mann was observed to leave the house by
the front door, bat the prisoners were not seen te make their
egress. About a fortinglit ago lir. Janne had occasion to

use violence for the purpose of ejecting from his house the
primmer Sturdy, who had since beta heard to make um of
language expreniee of his intention to be revenged. It was

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —A Cocotillearera.— Ed-
ward Pitts was charged with having obstructed and as-
saulted the ;olio. in Leicester-square. It is known that it
was in the contemplation of Mr. Charles Cochrane to have
a procession of persons from Leicester-Fquare to the
Hoots-office, for the purpose of presenting a petition to
the home authorities on the subject of pauper grievances.
The police, however. acting on instructions, gm notice

to form the procession were stopped by the polio", and re-
quired to disperse. The defendant was very violent; he
used mine language to the police, and ultimately struck a
constable a violent blow on the face. He was immediately

with the following desperate conduct. On Sunday after-
noon policeman Crippa was called to Spriog.garden•place,
Pimlico, where he found defendant, who had been drinking
freely, creating a great disturbance, fighting with his brother
and sister, who both complained of having been assaulted by
him, and the former exhibited a wound no his head, which
was bleeding copiously. These other sod sister informed

brought before Mr. Elliott, at this court, and convicted in
a penalty of 40s. for creating a riot and disturbance at the
country residence of her brother-in-law at Peekham, and
having been locked up for a short time her husband paid the
penalty and she was discharged. On the following night her
husband returned home, and finding that she was idrink , n a stabe

quently -
driven to do by her violence, when the prison,
locked the door, matched a table-knife from the
table, and commenced stabbing at him with the utmost vio-
lence. On her making a stab at his face the complainant
stooped his head, and the blade of th
ee knife passed through
his hat, and by the greatest possible eion h managed t
, rt, away from her with only one wound en the richt wrist.
the prisoner had on many fernier oecusinits token op •

her husband was going from his own home to get into the
society of some female or other, she, iu her excited state, anal
sca.cely knowing what she ly did, snatched up the Mile
and stabbed at him. She was full) committed for trial.
SOUTHWARK.—ASSAULT.—Tbree men, named Tur-
ner, Dann, and Uoldsberg, were charged with assaultin a g
young man named Hill, another young man turd two young
women, on the preceding night.—Hill, whose mouth and
()thee parts of his face were cut and bruited, stated that on
the previous night, as he and another young man, named
Casey, were taking leave of two young women, whom they
were paying their addresses to, and with whom they bad
been out walking, the defendants, in passing, used some
disgusting epithets to them. He emonstrated *ith them
for such conduct, when he was immediately struck end
knocked down, and, when he was rising from the ground,
he was a second time struck and knocked down, and while
down was kicked in various parts of the body by his
ante. He cried out for help, when Casey and the two young
women came running up, but they were attacked in their
turn by the defendants, who were ultimately given
his evi-
into cus-
tody. The complainant, who with difficulty gave
dence, owing to the severe beating and kicking inflicted on
him, added that he was in pain all ever his body, and that
he was rendered quite incapable of going to his work.—
Casey was next called, and he confirmed all the emen•
tial points of the complainant's evidence, ad din g that the
I defendants received no kind of provocation from their party.
—Mr. Cottiogham denounced the scandalous conduct of the
defendants, who, from their situations iL life, should have
shown a very different example to the parties whom they
attacked, and who were in a very different sphere of lite.
He (the magistrate) should not think he was doing his
duty if he did, not m.rk such ruffianly treatment with the
severest penalty of te law ; therefore he should inflict tines
of 61. each on the defendant default in default of payment,
should commit them for two months each to prison.
The magistrate at the same time gave directions to
Mr. Edwin, the chief clerk, that in the event of the penal-
ties being paid, the young man Hill, who had been so se-
verely maltreated, should receive a portion of the same, he
being incapacitated from work.
THAMES.—GMBLINO AT STEPNEY FAlR.—James
Bolton was charged with gambling. The mode adopted, as
explained by the constable, was very ingeniously contrived
to cheat those who entered' into the game with him. The
an mner was this :—about three pennyworth of coppers were
placed on small pegs which were to be thrown at with a
Al7lllll bar, when, if all the halfpence were dislodged, the
thrower, who said a penny for the chance, pocketted them.
The prisoner, who was the proprietor, was ready to take his
chance either as 'taker or thrower, but always took care that
he should win in each capacity, except when he occasionally
lost on purpose to give an appearance of fairness to the
game. When he threw himself, the halfpence wethere lolowerdge
lightly on the pegs, but when others threw, d
halfpenny was made to adhere by means of some compost
si•tacdid to it —Mr. Yardley said, that in addition to the
legal 'fleece of gambling, the prisoner had been guilty of
gross cheating also.—Prisoner: Nu, I new r cheats ; as often
as they wine I pays 'em.—Mr. Yardley :As wi example to
oth, re, I shall mend
_you to hard labour for eight days.
HAMMERSMITH.—Monnenons Asset: LT.— T. Barry
was charged with violently moulting Policeman Theyer.—
On the previous afternoon Theyer saw the prisoner drunk
and fighting in King-street, Harnmenmith. He went up
to him sad asked him to go away, but he refused to do No.
Witnema then took hold of him, when the prisoner imrne•
diately strut* him He, however, maimed his hold, when
they we surrounded by It camber of the prisoner's coun-
trymener and the primmer and they knocked him down
again, and the prisoner jumped upon witnres, some of the
other, kicking him at the Fame time while he was down on
the ground. In his struggles with them his clothes were all
torn and revered with mud, his hat was broken to pieces,
and his staff, with which he tried to defend Moral, was
forced from him and thrown away, and was not yet found.

MONEY MARKET.
MONDAY EVENING.
Advices have been received from Hull, by electric
telegraph, of the arrival there of the Jula, Danish
vessel, from Copenhagen, with intelligence that thirty
Prussian vessels had been embargoed in that port,
and that, in consequence of orders to the effect, Danish
cruisers were sending in as prizes many other vessels
under the Prussian flag stopped and captured in the
Danish waters, or at sea. The notice of the Prussian
consul this morning, and of the agent of the Ham-
burg Insurance Company at Copenhagen to his con-
stituency in that port, had already prepared the mer-
cantile community here for this inevitable result. It
may be doubted whether, in view of these unfortunate
events, a declared state of open war betwixt Denmark
and Prussia can now be averted by any friendly attempt
at mediation. to have been effective it should have
been more prompt. This complication of affairs in
the north, with vague but discouraging impressions
abroad about the prospects of the harvest, have
had a rather depressing influence upon the funds in
the early part of the morning. But they recovered
