POLICE.- YESTERDAY.

MANSION-HOUSE. ALLEGED DESECRATION OF
CHI:ECHYARDS.—The Lord Mayor sent for Mr. Carson, who
some days ago wrote a letter to his lordship on the subject of
the desecration of the dead in the churchyard of St. Ethel-
burgs. a copy of which letter appeared in this paper on
Thursday last, under the head of Mansion•house. Hu lord-
ship's correspondent haring appeared at the justire•rootn, the
falowing communication from the incumbent of St. Ethel.
burgs was read :
Vestry, St. Ethel' urga—My lord,—l beg leave to contradict a
statement relsErre to the burial ground of the parish of rit.Ethelburea,
which appeared in the police reports of Thursday tut do far (von
the spot having been often the recipient of human remains, I eon con-
fidently affirm that during the tour years of my incumbency, no
melee has been buried, and I am informed by the reston that the soil
hes not been disturbed for forty years or more. The Maas mentioned
by your correspondent elid not meet my eye, although I stood by while
the entire mound of excavated earth war returned to its former mai.
ttoa, and with tke exception of a few trifling fragment" there were
storm any human bone• mingled therewith. The fragments of nffina
and offensive /harems had no existence whatever, exorpt in the ima-
gination of your lordship's correspondent. I beg leave to add that
while I strongly advocate the disermtinuance of intramural inter.
reento. I else deprecate grounoless charge. of ,ha,orfnl drierrafgon.
- I have the boater to be, your krdship's obedient humble servant,
.1. M. ROUWELI, rector of St. Etheiburga,
Mr. Carson expressed his surprise at the written contra.
diction of the reverend gentleman to a statement, every word
of which was accurately true. It would indeed be
extraordinary if, residing as he did is the immediate
vicinity of the church, and having witnessed the
exhibition he had described, and requested that his
lordship would give the sanction of his authority
to tits complete publicity of the letter, he bad made
so erroneous a representation u had been ascribed to him.
It so happened that his brother-in-law 'witnessed the diagust-
ing scene which he had described, and would readily come
forward to confirm that descririoa. For his own put he was
desirous, if his lordship bad no objection, to make affidavit
of the truth of every word in the letter.—Here Mr. Carson
repeated his statement in the language of his letter, and ex-
pressed a hope that the neighbourhood would be shortly
visited by the commissioners appointed to make regulations
for the sanitary improvement of the people.
BOW STREET.—A DRUNKEN CAPTAIN.—CapI. Allen
wee charged with drunkenness and disorderly einduct.—The
prisoner arrived at the entrance of the Adelphi Theatre in a
cab last night, at about half-past eight o'clock. He was
very drunk. On getting out of the cab he tossed with the
cabman fur Sd. He then went into the th , but, after
paying and getting his cheek, he twice fell on the steps.
The policeman on duty, A 162, told him he could not be
allowed to go into the boxes in that state, and he insisted on
being admitted, declaring that he was an old soldier
and a magistrate, and warned the constable to "meddle
with him on his peril." The doorkeeper having returned
his money, be was removed. He refused to leave the
door, and became so riotous, that it was necessary to take him
in charge.—The prisoner vehemently denied the charge, and
he called several witnesses who averred that he was per-
fectly sober at five o'clock in the afternoon, and at eleven
o'clock et night (when he was bailed), but that he was sub-
ject to fits of " excitability." Great complaints were made
that the inspectors on duty would not suffer him to be bailed
earlier, though repeated applications were made.—lnspectors
Dodd and Black declared on oath that the prisoner was quite
drunk when at the station, that they could not suffer him
to be bailed earlier, and that even at the last moment the
' propriety of liberating him was doubtful.—Mr. Jardine fined
I him 11.

WORSHIP-STREET.—Hotsoun Assort° Tittered.—
F. Platt was chargi d, upon his own confession, with bur-
glary.—City constable Bernard, 86, stated, that on the pre-
ceding afternoon he was accosted in Cornbill by the prisoner,
who told him, that in order to relieve his mind, he was
anxious to take his trial for having broken into the premises
of Mr. Ledbetter, landlord of the Blockmakers' Arms, upon
OM night of July 8. He had effected the burglary by
*inhering no into the balcony in front of the house, and
.110=gage the window of the club-room, from which be
• geentity of wearing apparel and: other articles.
Meniewdligened of the booty immediately after the robbery,
himmilprelbetly secured from detection, until
be egiiiikelay baud tacit a man, to whom he had sold a por-
lint den *Men property, had been token into custody, and
Sin in Newgate awaiting his trial, and he determined
bio stassolukr himself to justice, rather than that an inno-
Mot aten should suffer for an offence of which he was
the vets perpetrator. The prisoner was conveyed to the
alttlasin, and a communication having been subsequently
rat to the bean of Mr. Leadbetter, it was ascertained that
the reisisey led taken place under the enact circumstances
ilandlenk and that the property sominutelyparticularind by
the emecience-stricken thief was all that bad been stolen on
tbs sesssion.—Tko magistrate ordered him to be remanded
Ise the production of the necessary formal evidence to com-
passs the case.
CHAGOS AGAINST A PUBLICAN.—J. Press, drayman in
the service of News. Truman, Hanbury, and Co., the
brewers, was charged with having stolen a kilderkin of ale,
the property of his employers, and Mr. R. Pratt, landlord
of the Crown and Anchor public-house, Cheshire-street,
Bethnal-green, was charged with receiving the same with •
guilty knowledge, and also with having in his possession two
ether casks of which he was unable to give • satisfactory ao-
twant. The prisoner Preis was sent out on Saturday evening
le deliver beer at the houses of various custom's with
Maw dnyman named Shepherd, the latter of whew, on re-
leeleig to the premises, communicated to Mr. Mare, the

within 40 days after the notice had been given by complain-
ant, end deciding on the case, Mr. Tyrwhitt deeded against
the society on that point —Me. Wakeling, for the defence,
stated that the complainant had tendered himself liable to
be scratched off, sad deprived of all the benefits arising from
the society, in accordance with the 18th Yaw in the rules,
because he wee seen to carry on his trade by folding up some
newspapers for sale.—Mr. Robinson, for the complainant,
contended that folding up a oewspaper could not be construed
into working at his trade.—Mr. Walusling said that com-
plainant during his illness had received 471. out of the funds,
into which he had only paid 321.—Mr. Terwhitt concurred
with Mr. Robinson, that folding anewspaper could not be said
to be working at his trade, and he ordered the complainant
to be reinstated upon the society.
LAMBETH.—SWINDLINO, AND PASSING FICTITIOUS
Cwactorm.—Mr. Charks alias Cromwell Ilwks, a man of
gentlemanly appearance and adders., was clipped with pass-
ing three cheques for various amount., whial were found to
be fictitione—Mr. Pratt, army agent, 34, King-street, West-
minster, deposed that he did not hold any funds belonging
to the prisoner, nor had he euthotised the prisoner to draw
the cheque produced.—Mr. Simpson, a beki r, in the Wands-
worth-road, deposed, that on the Bth instant he advanced
31. 10s. to the prisoner on a cheque ot 71. 10.. drawn by the
prisoner on his father, Col. Hicks, and made payable at the
office of Mr. Plitt, the last witness, and sending it there it
was marked " no effects."—Mr. Selewood, a grocer, Wends-
worth-road, stated that on the 28th of last month the pri-
soner called at his shop, and requested him to cash a cheque
for 21. 2.., drawn by him on Col. Carruthers, of the 2nd foot,
and which he said was all he had received from the colonel,
out of 111, which he owed him. He (witness) gave him the
money for the cheque, which he parsed.-7. Eccles, shop-
man to Mr. Underwood, deposed that he presented the
cheque for 21. 2s. then produced at the oflics of Messrs.
Con and Greenwood, and was told that no advice' had been
received to pay it, and that, as that was the second time of
presentation, it we■ strongly suspected to be a forgery.—
Mr. T. Flower, a stockbroker, residing in the Wandsworth.
road, stated that on the 2nd inst. he raw the prisoner, of
whom he had some knowledge, from his buying held a situa
tion in the City. He on that occasion produced a cheque which
he had drawn on Major Danielle, of the Coldstream Guards,
for 151. 155., and asked if he knew any persons who would
advance him 61. 10s. on it, as he wanted that amount very
badly to pay to his bookseller. Witness told him he had no
objection to lend him the money, and gave him the 61. 10s.
Some days after, the cheque was presented at Messrs. Cox
and Greenwood's, where it was p.yable, but it was not paid.
—The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said that notwith-
standing all that had been elated, every one of the
three cheques produced would be regularly paid.
That drawn upon his father (Colonel Hicks) would have been
paid before now but for the serious indisposition of the
colonel. His intimate friend, Colonel Carruthers, of
the 2nd Foot, he was certain would honour the trifling
cheque on him, and as for his college friend, Major Danielle,
there could not be a shadow of doubt about his paying the
15 guineas. He (the prisoner) had been in his tather's re-
giment, and had always been upon terms of the utmost
friendship with Major-General Danielle and hie son, Major
Danielle—Mr. Elliott: Then, from your statement, am 1
to suppose that Major Danielle would give you a good cha-
racter ?—Prisoner : Most certainly.—Mr. Elliott : Then 1
shall read you an extract from a letter received hoax Major
Danielle in reference to your cheque, in which he !peaks of
your character as follow.: '• I know but two persons of the
name of Hicks; one, Cromwell Rieke, who, after having
lived upon me for 12 months, was placed by my influence in
a situation in the City, from which he bolted, leaving a debt
of 5001. unsettled. He won formerly in Major-Gen. Danielle'
(my father's) regiment; and I should strongly dyne the
person to whom be has given the cheques you have men-
tioned to plate him in the hands of the proper authorities."—
The prisoner said not a word in reply, and was remanded, the
whole of the necessary withesses not being in attendance.

WESTMINSTER.—DEAPERATE AESAULTS.—D. Sulli-
ran, an Irish labourer, was charged with the following
desperate assaults upon the police. On the previous even.
ing Herein/. 119 B, found defendant and another man, both
of whom were drunk, fighting in Queen-street, Pimlico. end
caught hold of the defendant at the very momct.t that he
was about to kick his antagonist, who was lying on the
ground. On both men promising to go home quietly the
constable suffered them to depart, but defendant imme-
diately returned, and said he would not go until he
had had the life of the man with whom he had
been fighting, adding, with an oath, that if' the po-
liceman prevented him he would rip his heart out.
Herein* immediately took defendant into custody, when the
latter endeavoured repeatedly to throw him, and utter a long
struggle they both fell together, when the defendant kicked
the constable moat savagely, aa he was lying on the ground,
on the cap of the knee and on his shin. Two other con-
stables came to ➢is assistance, when defendant repeatedly
kicked them in the most savage manner, and the last named
was so injured in the lower part of the stomach that it was
found necessary to phice him immediately under medical
treatment. It ultimately required a large party of the
police to convey the defendant to the station-house.
In reply to the charge, the defendant said he was drunk.
He did not remember anything about assaulting the cOn-
stablea—Mr. Broderip sentenced him to 14 days' imprison-
ment for each assault, making a term of six weeks for the
whole, without imposing any fine.
CRUEL ROBREItY.-0. Clapcolt, a stone-mason, was
charged with robbing It. Dyke of half-a-sovereign, the
whole of his wearing apparel, and tools.—The prisoner and
prosecutor both worked at Buckingham Palace, and lodged
together. On Monday week, in the absence of the prosecu-
tor, the prisoner removed the former'a boxes in the presence
of the landlady, informing her that they were about to leave
the apartment, and, after pawning a portion of the pro-
perry, absconded to Hull, where he was apprehended, and
the remainder of the stolen property found in his possession.
—The primmer denied the robbery, and was committed
for trial.

THAMES.—ARSAULT.— H. Boron was charged with
assaulting Ann Evans, nearly seventy years of age. The
poor creature, who has been several da3s in the hospital
under medical treatment for the injuries she had received,
was obliged to be carried into court. She stated she had
known the prisoner for five years, both of them residing in
Zion4quare, F.oeemary.late. On Friday night last, as she
was going out, she was stopped by the prisoner, who accused
her of having told lies, and made mischief between him and
his wife. She denied the charge, and he knocked her down.
He then beat her about the head and kicked her dreadfully,
until she became insensible.—Mary.Evans, daughter of the
prosecutrix, and Mary Locke, who witnessed part of the
occurrence, corroborated this evidence.—The prisoner totally
denied the charge.--Mr. Yardley said he would give him
the very highest punishment the law allowed him to inflict;
and sentenced ham to pay a fins of 51., or two menthe' im-
prisonment with hard labour—Locked up in default.
MYSTERIOUS CASS OF ROBBERT.—Catherine Donahoo,
wife to • wholesale dealer in vegetables, and Catherine
Gith,rt, aged 16, went charged with stealing from 181
to 191., the property of Mr. R. Scott, a custom-house
officer.—Eliza I was charged as an accessary after the
robbery.—Mrs. Donahoo called at the prosecutor's house on
the evening of Saturday, the 4th instant, and stall all night,
and until about five o'clock on the ensuing Sunday evening.
Mr. Scott and his wife went out early nn the Sunday,
leaving Donahoo and Gilbert iu charge of the house. They
left 18 or 19 sovereigns and some jewellery in • mahogany
sash-box in a closet.. The box was open, but the closet was
locked. On their nturn they found the girl Gilbert in the
house with • policeman, and the former said that the place
had been entered and robbed whilst she was seeing Mrs.
Donahoe home.—Smith, 220 K, was called in, and
on examining the premises he was led to suppose
that the robbery had been committed by some person
acquainted with the premises. Mrs. Donahoo slept
with Mrs. Scott on the .Saturday night, and
amongst other topics of conversation Donaboo said that
Mr. Scott told her that he had 3001. These and other cir-
cumstances led to the apprehension of Donahoo, on Tuesday,
the 7th inst. On the Monday evening previously, the girl
Gilbert, who was Mrs. Scott's niece, but acted in the house
iu the capacity of • servant, absconded. It was afierwards
found that she had gone to the house of the prisoner Pike,
under circumstances well calculated to awaken suspicion.
Smith, accompanied by Mr. Scott, went to Pike's house,
and inquired for the girl Gilbert, who was denied. They
persisted in eseirebing the place, end found Gilbert con-
cealed in a back room ; they also discovered the maho-
gany box, with some of the jewellery , but none of the
gold. They also found a quantity of new and unmade
articles of female apparel, to the value of nearly 31. Previ-
ously to her apprehension the prisoner Gilbert gave 91 7s.
to a young woman named Titan, to be restored to her uncle
(Mr. Scott), which was done. When arrested, she said
Donahoo proposed the robbery to her ; that Donahoe broke
open the chest, saying she would only keep flee sovereign.,
seal that Gilbert should keep the remainder, besides baying
• pion procured for her in Glasgow.—Mr. Neil, a custom-
house Meer lodging in Mr. Scott's house, proved that Dona-
' 1201 him au the Sunday whether Mr. Stott was not
of mory.—The woman I'ike was here discharged
the dock, and placed in the witness-box, where her
evidence was anything but satisfactory. According to her
statement, the box was brought to her house, about three
o'clock on the Sunday, by Gilbert, who said it was her
father's. The dresses which were found in witness's house
Gilbert at first said she got by tally but subsequently she
admitted that they were purchased with some money of
which she had robbed her uncle, Mr. Scott. Gilbert told
her she was prompted to the robbery by Denahoo.—Donahoo
indignantly denied any participation in the robbery. She
could get credit, she said at any time for 1,0001. and it was
not to be supplied that she would peat her :Character in
jeopardy for the paltry sum of 51.—The depositioas were
then read at great length, when the two petsonsn (Wilbert
and Donahoo) were committed to take eir trial far the
felony at the next session of the Central Criminal Court.
Donahoo, however, was admitted to bail on putting in two
sureties of 1001. each.

MEETING.—BOVLOGNE AND AblleNB.—Special Med-
Mg.—Liverpool, Sept. 14.—Mr. D. Neibon in the chair. —The meeting
was called to consider the present pact•. ion of the company. and the
eause of the repeated deleys in opening the 7ine.—A monition having
been moved by Mr. Davie, to the effect that the delay in opening the
line was most unsatisfactory, and that a committee of Inquiry be
appointed, Mr. Delos remarked that no railway needed a reformation
in its statistics so much as the Boulogne and Amiens line;
.100,0001. was the amount in the hands of the directors;
4,000,000 francs had been invaded in the French funds,
and 450,000 francs in Exchequer Bills; the Interest in the
drat year was Bre per cent, or 5,0001., end In the second year
lo,OGul. was raised on the Laid-up capital. No other mutes had
been accounted for, and the awn now In the hen& of the directors
was very large.—ln answer to a question, Mr. Beloe mated that the
chief engineer had expressed bin opinion that the portion of the line
as fora. Neale would he completed about the 15th ot October, and
that the tunnel near Boulogne would be /Wished about spring ; thus
completing the entire line. The molution was then agreed to, and
Messrs. Mosley, Davis, Denim, Armstrong, and Nt•ileon were
nominated as the committee M inquiry, and empowered to act with
the committees that may be formed in London and France. After
some further conversation, elm-mire of di•satie'aetion at the conduct
of the French director., the meeting terminated.

COLONIAL RAILWAYS.—HALIFAX AND QtriniC.—
The military rutveyora of this projected line have been in the wilder-
ness between the Itestigoiwbe and the St. Lawrence for the lag three
months, and have scarcely been heard from. A report reached St.
John's, on the 27th August, that they had din:mend a gap through
the Strdigoliche mountain, sod that there was Do looter any fears
of a practicable line for a railway being reported.
Sy. ANDREW'S AND QUalrEC.—} rem private advices by
the Cambria, we learn that nearly the whole of the deposits on the
local moiety of the capital of this company had been paid up ; and
that Capt. holamen (atm left England in the beginning of last month
after forming the London board of correopandeuce) bad taken on Me.
Laurie, !corn Easton, to superintend the construction of the works.
The prownt flatterihg I.roopects of that undertaking, and its probable

ST. Joicsehi A"llTillEDlAC.—Appliestion has been made
to the government of New Brunswlek, by M. H. Perky, Faq., for the
survey of the line of country between St. John and Sheehan, with the
view to the construction of a railway between the two gleam. The
country propueod to be traremed is well nettled and abounds in great
natural resources. This railway le to be called the Great Eastern of
New Brensorick.
