WESTMINSTER.

PLUNDERING SHOPKEEPERS—ALLEGED ROBBERY BY
ACCIDENT.—A respectably dressed middle-aged woman,
who gave her name Margaret Smith, was charged with
committing a robbery at the shop of Mr. John Groabey, a
clothier, 55, Strutton-ground, "Westminster.
John Harvey, a youth in the prosecutor's employment,
said she was passing by the shop at 8 o'clock last evening,
when he saw her put her hand down amongst some caps
that were resting on an iron stand in front of the shop win-
dow. He immediately missed the cap, and she was going
on, when he stopped her, pulled her cloak on one side, and
took the cap from under her arm.
Mr. Arnold—Did the prisoner say anything ?
Witness—She asked me what was the matter and what
I was doing, when I told her I was looking for a cap that
she bad taken from our door. When I took the cap away
from her she said she was veryEorry, she did not intend
to do it. I then took her back to tlio shop.
Mr. Arnold—Was she sober?
Witness—Quite sober.

Sergeant Grant, 2 B, said he was called to take the pri-
soner into custody, when on her being charged with steal-
ing the cap produced, she stated that she had had no in-
tention of stealing it, and begged to be allowed to go, but
her request was not acceded to.
Prisoner—l am very sorry that this has occurred, but it
was purely accidental. I was passing the shop when my
cloak came unfastened, and a shawl which I was wearing
under it for warmth slipped down and nearly fell off. I
pulled it to get it again upon ray shoulders, and with it my
cloak, and I must have caught thia cap up in doing so.
The cap was not fastened in any way,and was fixed between
my cloak and shawl, where it hang for a minute till the boy
found it; and I declare most positively that I never had it
in my hand.
Mr. Arnold—The boy says he saw you put your hand
down as you passed.
Prisoner—l did not. I knew nothing about the cap until
it was found between my shawl and cloak,

Mr. Arnold—Let the boy stand up again.
Mr. Arnold—Now this is a most serious matter to this
poor woman. Are you certain that you saw her put her
hand down to the caps as she was in the act of passing.
Witness—l am.
Mr. Arnold remanded the eccused till Tuesday next.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A CAB —Annie Rivers, a young
female, was charged before Mr, Knox pith attempting to
commit suicide under the foliowin,g circumstances :
It app_ars that the young woman got into a cab at Hoxton,
and requested the driver to drive as fist as possible to
Bond-street. On reaching Bond-street, the driver got down
to let out his fare, when he was surprised to find her in a
state of insensibility. Finding his efforts to arouse her use-
less, he called the attention of police-constable Mott, 335 A,
to the'young woman. Mott at first thought she had been
drinking, but fearing that she might have taken some nar-
cotic he told the driver to proceed to the Middlesex Hospital,
when an emetic having been administered, it was ascer-
tained that the young woman had taken poison. On ➢lott
subsequently examining the cab, he found a phial which
was found to have contained a drug, and one was also found
on the young woman. _

The following certificate was landed to Mr. Knox :
"I hereby certify that Annie Rivers was brought to this
hospital suffering from the effects of opium.—FßEDEßicx
H. WATTS, Resident Medical Officer, Middlesex Hospital."
Sergeant Bason (acting inspector) asked for a remand, as
although every exertion bad been used to discover the pri-
soner's friends, they had been unsuccessful, the more espe-
cially as the prisoner had given false addresses.

The prisoner was remanded.
PAYING FOR REVENGE.—Elizabeth Macdonald was
charged before Mr. Knox as follows :7

Mr. Fuller, of 45, Castle-street, Leicester-square, said
that the prisoner—who had been a source of great annoy-
ance to him on a previous occasion—on the previous night
entered his house, upset several glasses, and threw some
liquor over his sister. He put the prisoner out with some
difficulty, when she struck him in the face, and saying she
would be revenged, broke two panes of embossed plate glass
of the value of 30s.

Pol;ce-constable 40 F proved taking the prisoner into
custody, and said that she had cut her arm so badly that he
was compelled to take her to the Charing-cross Hospital to
have it dressed.

In answer to the charge, the prisoner said she had injured
her arm.

Mr. Knox told the prisoner that if she acted in the man-
ner she had done she must expect to do so. She would
have to pay the damage, 30e, a shilling fine, or be impri-
soned for 14 days.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per mille pm., anti
the short exchange on London is 25.22 k per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 2-lithe per cent. dearer in Paris than in London

By advices fromliamburg the price of gold is 4231 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.4* per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English hint price is, therefore, about
the same price in London and Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 166 to 166 a per cent., and the premium on
gold is 511 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the
importation of gold from the United States.

It is said that 'Tiers is to leave for England
after the debate in the French Corps Legislatif on the
address. Ilia object in visiting London is to consult the
archives of the British Parliament.

Possession of Blair Castle. On Friday, we are informed,
the Duchess of Athole received a telegram from the Em-

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

BOW• STREET.

FORGERY BY A CONFIDENTIAL CLER
Peyton and Emma Hayes were charged with uttering a
forged cheque for DO, on Glyn and Co.'s bank.
Mr. Pavey, preprietcr of the Swan Hotel, New-street,
Covent-garden, stated—l have known the prisoner for
about four or five years as holding a good position in society.
He was managing clerk in a large frm in the City. I was
not aware that he had left his situation. On the 22d
December he called on me, and said ho was rather
short of money, and would be obliged if I would lend
him £l5. I lent him the money. On the 23d of January,
the female prisoner called on me with a letter from him.
I had known her from seeing her in the prisoner's company
at various times. The letter enclosed a cheque on Messrs.
Glyn's bank, signed " W. Peyton," which was the name
by which I had known him (though I now believe it is a
fictitious name), and dated from Park Village West, which
is certainly not his present address, though, no doubt, he
formerly lived there. The letter contained a request that
I should cash the cheque, deducting the £l5 which he owed
me, and hand the other £l5 to the lady. I accord-
ingly gave her two £5 notes and £5 in sovereigns.
I paid the cheque away to Mr. Gale, a cheesemonger, in
discharge of an account amounting to £2l, and he paid me
the difference. On Monday I received a letter by post from
the prisoner, requesting me to hold the cheque over for a
few days. At that time, however, I had parted with the
cheque. Yesterday (Wednesday) the cheque was returned
to me by Mr. Gale, who had presented it at the bank, where
payment was refused.
After some further evidence the male prisoner was re-
manded, and the woman discharged.

WESTMINSTER.

PLUNDERING SHOPKEEPERS—ALLEGED ROBBERY BY
ACCIDENT,-A respectably dressed middle-aged woman,
who gave her name Margaret Smith, was charged with
committing a robbery at the shop of Mr. John Groabey, a
clothier, 55, Strutton-ground, Westminster.
John Harvey, a youth in the prosecutor's employment,
said she was passing by the shop at 8 o'clock last evening,
when he saw her int her hand down amongst some caps
that were resting on an iron stand in front of the shop win-
dow. He immediately missed the cap, and she was going
on, when he stopped her, pulled her cloak on one side, and
took the cap from under her arm.
Mr. Arnold—Did the prisoner say anything ?
Witness—She asked me what was the matter and what
I was doing, when I told her 1 was looking for a cap that
she had taken from our door. When I took the cap away
from her she said she was very sorry, she did not intend
to do it. I then took her back ro the shop.
Mr. Arnold—Was she sober?

Witness—Quite sober.
Sergeant Grant, 2 B, said he was called to take the pri-
soner into custody, when on her being charged with steal-
ing the cap produced, she stated that she had had no in-
tention of stealing it, and begged to be allowed to go, but
her request was not acceded to.
Prisoner—l am very sorry that this has occurred, but it
was purely accidental. I was passing the shop when my
cloak came unfastened, and a shawl which I was wearing
under it for warmth slipped down and nearly fell off. I
pulled it to get it again upon my shoulders, and with it my
cloak, and I must have caught this cap up in doing so.
The cap was not fastened in any way,and was fixed between
my cloak and shawl, where it hung for a minute till the boy
found it; and I declare most positively that I never had it
in my hand.
Mr. Arnold—The boy says he saw you put your hand
down as you passed.
Prisoner—l did not. I knew nothing about the cap until
it was found between my shawl and cloak.
Mr. Arnold—Let the boy stand up again.
Mr. Arnold—Now this is a most serious matter to this
poor woman. Are you certain that you saw her put her
hand down to the caps as she was in the act of passing.
Witness—l am.
Mr. Arnold remanded the accused till Tuesday next.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Our market to-day was fairly supplied with beasts as to
number; but their general quality was only middling.
Prime Scots and crosses sold readily at fully Monday s
currency. Otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish
state, on former terms. A few very inferior beasts realised
5s 2d per Blbs. There was a steady demand for sheep—the
supply of which was only moderate—and in some instances
prices had an upward tendency. The best Downs produced
fully 6s per Sibs. The few calves on offer sold briskly at
from 5s to 6s per 81bs. Prime small pigs changed slowly
at full quotations. In large hogs and milch cows very
little was doing on former terms.

development of the largest amount of traffic, which
led to an endeavour to accommodate the public in
the most efficient and economical manner, which
opposed all those destructive agreements which at-
tempted to compel traffic to flow in particular chan-
nels, and in fact opened up a railway system of
intercommunication which he believed would ulti-
mately give them decent dividends: He took en-
couragement from their past experience. A few
years ago their ordinary stock was at 17, whereas
now it was 51; their other stock was then equally
low, and nobody would lend them a shilling. They
had survived all that ; they had greatly improved
the concern, and he believed they could improve it
still further. (Applause.)
The motion of the chairman was then carried
unanimously.
Motions declaring a dividend of 11 per cent. per
annum for the half-year on the ordinary stock (in
addition to preference and other dividends), for the
re-election of the retiring directors, and for the
re-appointment of Mr. S. P. Robinson as auditor,
were carried without dissent.
Mr. FILDES moved, " That the directors be in-
structed to charge to capital part of the amount of
£59,081 now standing to the debit of the suspense
account—namely, to the extent of £46,500, being a
like amount to that which has already in past years
been debited improperly to revenue, and that the
remainder be liquidated out of revenue in equal pro-
portions over four years."
The motion was seconded, and carried with only
two dissentients.
The business concluded with a vote of thanks to
Mr. Chapman (on his retirement from the chair) for
his past services to the company, and to the Board
generally,
At a meeting of the Board of directors of the com-
pany held previously to the general meeting, Mr.
E. W. Watkin was elected chairman of the com-
pany.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A. CAB --Annie Rivers, a young
female, was charged before Mr. Knox with attempting to
commit suicide under the following circumstances :
It appears that the young woman got into a cab at Hoxton,
and requested the driver to drive as fast as possible to
Bond-street. On reaching Bond-street, the driver got down
to let out his fare, when he was surprised to find her in a
state of insensibility. Finding his efforts to arouse her use-
less, he called the attention of police-constable Mott, 335 A,
to the young woman. Mott at first thought she had been
drinking, but fearing that she might have taken some nar-
cotic he told the driver to proceed to the Middlesex Hospital,
when an emetic having been administered, it was aster••
tained that the young woman had taken poison. On Mott
subsequently examining the cab, he found a phial which
was found to have contained a drug, and one was also found
on the young woman. .

. -
The following certificate was handed to Mr. Knox :
"I hereby certify that Annie Rivers was brought to this
hospital suffering from the effects of opium.—FREDERICK
H. WATTS, Resident Medical Officer, Middlesex Hospital."
Sergeant Bason (acting inspector) asked for a remand, as
although every exertion had been used to discover the pri-
soner's friends, they had been unsuccessful, the more espe-
cially as the prisoner had given false addresses.
The prisoner WAS remanded.
PAYING FOR REVENGE,—Elizabeth Macdonald was
charged before Mr. Knox as follows :
Mr. Fuller, of 45, Castle-street, Leicester-square, said
that the prisoner—who had been a source of great annoy-
ance to him on a previous occasion—on the previous night
entered his house, upset several glasses, and threw some
liquor over his sister. He put the prisoner out with some
difficulty, when she struck him in the face, and saying she
would be revenged, broke two panes of embossed plate glass
of the value of 30s.

Pol;ce-constable 40 F proved taking the prisoner into
custody, and said that she had cut her arm so badly that he
was compelled to take her to the Charing-cross Hospital tc,
have it dressed.

In answer to the charge, the prisoner said she had injured
her arm.

Mr. Knox told the prisoner that if she acted in the man-
ner she had done she must expect to do so. She would
have to pay the damage, 3)s, a shilling fine, or be impri-
soned for 14 days.

PBPARATIONS FOR WAR.

The truth cannot be blinked—nay, for that
matter, there is no disposition whatever amongst
RI to blink it—that Preparations for War
are making as appreciably on this side
of the Channel as upon the frontiers of
Denmark. The Austrian and Prussian troops have
received the order to advance. The Danish Army of
Defence is being martialled in battle array in readi-
nessA for any emergency. And meanwhile, here, in
England the note of warlike preparation is also
audible, very distinctly. Our Channel Fleet—
recalled some days since—is now almost hourly
-expected to arrive at Spithead. Between 20,000
and 30,000 troops, at the same time, are, accord-
ing to tho significant phrase, are already put upon
a war footing prepared, that is, to march. any day
down to our shores for embarkation. And while
the German soldiery are already marching, and our
own troopi aro in readincas to march for the Danish
scat of war, the like activity is being yet more
conspicuously manifested—and no marvel, in truth,
that it should be so, nailer the circumstances—by
Denmark.

'l'ne truth is that the wise maxim that the
best way to preserve peace is to be prepared
for war is the very one which the Danes
are prudently obeying at the present moment.
While the Rigsraad are assembling for debate, and
diplomacy is aspiring to unravel with dexterous but
hitherto ineffectual efforts the more than Gordian
intricacies of the Schleswig-Holstein difficulty,
6,000 soldiers are daily at work, zealously employed
in the fortification of the Dannewerk. Intrecch-
ments are being formed, that may command
the Haddebyer and MOvenberge - Road,
