THE POLICE COUBTE.

A respectably-attired young man, who wore spatulas
and moustaches, and gave the name of Carl Herman Von
Sauer, was charged with obtaining Dias sovereigns from
Samuel Hoare, the porter at Harrow School, under • false
pretence of procuring him a situation in the Navies of the
Duke of Norfolk.
In Jimmy lest Ilse sepsis of Harrow school advertised
for a gemilenia W dully the monitor's library, and it led
to the sugmemist of the prisoner, who stated that he was
a native of Clesmaay and a primate of Heidelberg, and that
he had recently been engaged is arrantinithe library at the
Duke of Norfolk's. The prisoner subsequently told the
prosecutor that he was in favour with the uke of Norfolk,
and should be able to get him a situation as under porter at
Arundel Castle, at • salary of 2501. per annum ; and on
Saturday week last he milted • letter, which was
copied by the prosecutor at the request of the
prisoner, who said the letter was to be addressed to him,
and that it was for him to present to the duke. The pri-
soner then slaked Hoare to let him have some money to
enable him to go to Arundel Castle, to get the appoint-
ment ; and the prosecutor secordiogly gave him four sove-
reigns. On the following Wednesday evening, the priso-
ner said he wanted 101. to pay the Duke of Norfolk's soli-
citors, as a deposit, for the purpose of enabling him to ob-
tain the necessary documents. The prosecutor told him
that he had no money, and the prisoner replied that he was
losing a good situation for the want of a little money. Sub-
sequently, the same evening, the prosecutor was induced,
upon these representations, to give him Ave sovereigns ;
and the prisoner said he would lend him one, and that,
with the other four he had borrowed, would make the re-
quired sum for the solicitors. After waiting some time in
vain for the place, the prosecutor made inquiry, and ascer-
tained that the prisoner was a stranger to the Dike of
Norfolk.
Committed for trial.

SOUTH EASTERN AND CONTINENTAL STEAM
PACKET COMPANT.—The half-early meeting of this com-
pany was held yesterday ; Mr. James Macgregor, M.P., in
the chair. Not more than a dozen shareholders were ?re-
pent. The report submitted showed that the gross earnings
on the half-year were 21,9781. 81. 3d., being a decrease as
compared with the previous half-year of 3,2061.45. 7d.; the
decrease in the number of passengers in the last half-year
as compared with the previous half-year being 7,485. The
balance to the credit of revenue was 4,0341.5,. 51. The
report proceeded to state what had been the recom-
mendations of the committee of proprietors asso-
ciated with the directors for the purpose of con-
sidering the best plea of consolidating the interests
of the Steam Packet and Railway Companies. (These
recommendations have already been given in the report of
the railway company in the Daily Netts.) At the proper
time the directors would recommend the principles laid
down in that report of the committee for the adoption of
the proprietors. Were that report to be acted upon now,
and the anangements suggested carried out, the effect
would be that the proprieters of this company would re-
ceive upwards of 12.1. per share, with the advantage of the
option detailed in the report. Meanwhile, sad pending the
settlement, the directors had insured the fleet of steamers
for six months. A dividend at the rate of 5 per cent.
would be paid from the 6th April, which would be about
2,8961. 31. 3d., and would leave a balance of 1,1361. 2s. 2d.
to the credit of the revenue account. After some converse-
tinn the report was adopted, and the dividend was de-
clared.

EMIGRATION To AUSTRALIA.—The ship Mary
Green sailed from Southampton yesterday morning, with
nearly 300 emigrants on board, bound fur Adelaide. She
is the first emigrant ship which has been provisioned in
Southampton, and which has occasioned an outlay in that
town of 3,0001. Her owners wanted to sell her before she
started, and which caused her detention for a few days.
The difficulty in effecting her sale was found in her sot
having a British register.
