TESTIMONIAL TO A SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE.
—Yesterday evening a number of ladies and gentle-
men assembled in the St. James's Vestry Hall, Piccadilly,
their object being one of a most pleasing nature, namely, to
present Mr. Charles Webb, now superintendent of the L
division of pAce, but formerly an inspector of the C divi-
sion, with a very handsome testimonial. Mr, R. D. Box,
churchwarden of St. James's, presided, and, in presenting
the testimonial, referred in highly eulogistic terms to the
services rendered to the inhabitants of the district by Mr.
Wt bb during a period of 24 years, and also to the assistance
afforded by him to the visitors at the International Exhibi-
tion. Mr. Box said that the subscribers to the testimonial
were a fair representation of the parishioners by whom Mr.
Webb's services were appreciated. Mr. 'Webb returned
thanks in appropriate terms, after which a vote of thanks
was passed to the chairman and the proceedings terminated.
Ihe testimonial consisted of a superbly chased silver tea
snvice, of the value of £6O, manufactured by Messrs.
Garrard, and of a handsome gold hunting watch and chain,
of the value of £4O, made by Messrs. G and H. Tupman,
of Old Bond-street. On one of the pieces of plate is the
following inscription—the watch having a similar one
Presented at a public meeting held at the Vestry Hall, •

parish of St. James's, for long and faithful services while

Inspector of the U or St. James's division, by a few of the
parishioners of the district who knew his worth and value.

ST. THOMAS'S HOSFITAL.---A special meeting of
the governors of Bethlehem took place onWednesday
afternoon, to consider a suggestion from the governors of
St. Thomas's Hospital to the following effect :—That the
surveyors of the two hospitals should meet to ascertain the
approximate cost of buileing a new hospital in the country,
to accommodate 400 lunatic patients. This suggestion gave
rise to a considerable discussion, it being ultimately resolved
that the governors of Bethlehendlospital do not object to the
governors of St. Thomas's Hospital employing Mr. smirko,
their architect, in conjunction with any other architect, to
ascertain the probable cost of building a new hospital for
the reception of lunatic patients; but it must be distinctly
understood that they (the governors of Bethlehem) will not
be bound by any such opinion ; and that the only condition
upon which they can consent to entertain such a proposi-
tion for the exchange of sites must be that the governors
of St. Thomas's will undertake to build for Bethlehem a
new hospital upon such site, and upon such plan, and with
sa mach accommodation as they (governors of Bethlehem)
shall approve; and that the governors of St. Thomas's
shall pay all costs of removal, and every other expense in-
cident thereupon or connected with the said new hospital.
A meeting of the grand committee of St. Thomas's Hospi-
tal, to discuss the resolution adopted by the governors of
Bethlehem,will shortly take place. It is, however, surmised
that the great expense attendant upon complying with the
conditions set down by the Bethlehem governors,which will
probably amount to nearly £300,000, must render the schema
a financial impossibility.
SUDDEN DEATH OF AN OFFICER AT PORTSMOUTH.
—A paintul sensation was caused in Portsmouth, co
Wednesday evening, by the sudden death of an officer in
the street. It appears that Lieut.-Colonel J. M. WenlysS,
C. 8., of the Royal Marine Artillery, was coming to Ports-
mouth from Southsea, accompanied by two other gentle-
men, and on arriving near the inner guardhouse, at the King
William gate, he complained of sudden pain in the sine,
and sank down upon the stonework supporting the iron
palisades enclosing the governor's green, Medical aid was
promptly obtained, but the gallant officer expired almost
immediately, and the body was removed in a cab. It iS
supposed that death resulted nom disease of the heart, but
the borough coroner will make an official inquiry this
evening.

SPARROWS FOR AUSTRALIA.--The Cst-Deutsche
Post of Vienna states that a great quantity of sparrows

tpWilla regard to the Salvador Loan, M. L. W.
Wewood begs co give notice that he has, at the
earliest possible moment, called the attention of
'ls Excellency Don Carlos Gutierrez, the Minister,
:1" of the other commissioners for the loan, to the
.„'llrooured threatened invasion of Salvador by the
t"Esident of Guatemala. Toe private advises from
hc'ee well informed stigmatise this action on the
,114:t of Guatemala as anprivoked and most unjus-
It is by no means certain that hostilities
117i11 ensue. It is gratifying to be able to state that
the
desire of the Commissioners to maintain the
Public credit of Salvador has overruled all others,
kid that, consequently, Mr. Haslewood is Who-
tis-ed to inform the subscribers, and intending sub-
841bers to the above loan, that the lists will be
''opt open until ten days after the arrival of the
11ekt mail from the P.:,cific (due 31st inst.), and that
lt
the news then to arrive shall not be deemed
satisfactory to any subscriber, he shall he at liberty
at any time during such ten days to withdraw his
4ePPlication, e.;,d will receive his deposit. The
that
desire most emphatically to state
4,`44t the proceeds of this loan were required solely
". internal improvements, and that if war should
unfortunately break out they will await some more
f
41'enrable opportunity for its negotiation.

This was a suit instituted for the dissolution of marriage
by the wife against the husband.
The parties were resident in Chesterfield, the respondent
carrying on the business of a glass dealer. The wife
it appeared had an income of about £6O per annum previous
to her marriage, and it was afterward- so arranged that
the husband was precluded from all in.erest therein. The
cause which led to the first difference between the -parties
was the circumstance of respondent placing in the hands
of his sister all the management of the business
dufieg his absence, and ultimately the whole direction
of the household affairs. This led to continued differences,
the wife feeling that she was quite superseded in the
management of the house. The respondent, she alleged,
treated her with great cruelty, and aggravated the treat-
ment by committing adultery with several women of the
lowest description. Tho defence was that the petitioner
was a person of violent temperament, and that her own
incapacity to attend to business was the cause of the respon-
dent having his sister in his house.
The case comment• d yesterday, and up to going to press
this afternoon the examination of witnesses was still being
proceeded with.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.---This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SYSTEMATIC ROBBERIES —Mary Ann Sullivan was
charged before Mr. Knox as follows :—Reb rt Simmingtou,
jun., son of Mr. Simmington, draper, of 33, Charles-street,
Marylebone, said that on the previous afternoon the priso-
ner walked up to the door of the shop and took some pairs
of stockings from the place where they were hanging, and,
placing them under her shawl, walked away. His brother
brought the prisoner back, and the stockings were found in
her possession.
In answer to Mr. Knox, the witness said that he had
observed the prisoner about the shop for the last 14 days,
and, suspecting that she intended to steal some of the goods,
he watched her,

A constable said that on searching the prisoner he found
two pairs of women's boots upon her, evidently just stolen,
from their being fastened together. He believed sho had
been convicted before, and wished for a remand.

Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, who had no questions
to ask, for a week.

THAMES.

COAL STEALING ON THE RIVER. —Henry White, a no-
torious thief, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with
stealing 561bs. of coals from a barge, the property of Mr.
William Cory and others.

George Goode, a police constable of the Thames division,
No. 13, stated that about eight o'clock last night he was off
Cole-stairs, Shadwell, in a police galley, and saw the pri-
soner on the land near Mr. Cory's coal barges, He went
on shore and watched the prisoner, who went on board a
barge called the " Deb" and put two lumps of coal into a
basket with which he came on shore. The prisoner walked
into his hands and was secured. The two pieces of coal
weigt al i lib.

The prisoner said in his defence that he was very sorry
for what he had done. It was his first offence and it should
bo his last.

The prisoner's assertion that it was his first offence created
much surprise among the officers in court.

Cex, a police sergeant, 45 K, said the prisoner had been
repeatedly convicted summarily for various offences.

The prisoner—No such thing—it was my brother. We
are very much alike, and it is surprising what mistakes
have occurred in consequence. (A laugh,)
Roche, the gaoler of the court, here seized the prisoner's
right hand, and said, " Your brother lost three of his fingers
—you have lost none.

Mr. Selfe—You know him, Roche ?
Roche—Yes, sir. He has been convicted 20 times in the
course of the last 12 years.

The Prisoner—lt was not me, sir. You would be sur-
prised how much me and my brother are alike. (Laughter.)
Roche—Yes, they are alike. Both have been convicted
here repeat dy. The prisoner has had three or four years
in a reformatory. It did him no good.

The prisoner—lt was a mistake, Mr. Roche, it was my
brother. (Laughter.) You see how inconvenient it is for
two brothers to be so much alike. (More laughter.)
Mr. Selfe—l am afraid you are very much alike in
roguery.

The prisoner—l will admit taking one piece only, not two.
Mr. Selfe —You are sentenced to three months' impri-
sonment and hard labour, If you are to be brought here
again you will be committed for trial.
