POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

John Thomas Parry, the printer who was charged
at this court on Monday with attempting to commit
suicide, was brought up yesterday before Alderman
Cubitt, having been remanded for the attendance of
the relieving officer and overseer of the West London
Union to explain why they refused to relieve the family
of the prisoner.

Mr. Chamberlain, the relieving officer, appeared,
and stated that the prisoner's wife called on him on
Saturday afternoon, about four o'clock, but having
visited No. 2, Holborn-buildings, the house in which
she was living, on the Wednesday, Thursday, and Fri-
day previous, and not seeing any signs of the destitu-
tion and distress complained of by the prisoner and
his wife, nor of the eight young children, he was in-
duced to doubt the truth of the wife's statement, and
therefore told her to send her husband. Soon after
she left the office he went to 2, Holborn-buildings,
again, for the purpose of satisfying himself of their
distressed state, and relieving them ; but he found no
one in the rooms generally occupied by the prisoner's
family, and on proceeding upstairs he only saw several
of the other lodgers lying about in a beastly state of
intoxication. If be had found the wife's circum-
stances in accordance with her statements, he would
have taken the whole family into the union at once.
The wife assured the Alderman that the statement
was correct as to the destitute condition of the
family, and added that she had lived five years in the
same house, but was out when Mr. Chamberlain
called.
Alderman CUBITT asked the prisoner for whom he
bad worked? The prisoner said he was working
latterly for Messrs. Woodfall, but that he only earned
2s. 6d. during the whole of last week.
Alderman CUBITT regretted that the prisoner mould
have been placed in such a position ; however, some
very humane individual, under the name of "Type,"
had forwarded 53. for his (the prisoner's) use.
The money was then given to the wife, who ap-
peared very thankful for the trifling assistance, and the
prisoner was then discharged.
Mr. Chamberlain said he would immediately attend
to the wants of the family.
In the course of the afternoon Mr. Chamberlain
again attended and said, that since he left the court in
the morning, he had visited the prisoner's lodgings,
and instead of eight children being at home and with-
out bread, he found only four, besides two who were
earning 33. per week each. He had also ascertained
that the prisoner was an idle, drunken, profligate
character, and able to earn 21. per week, but when
he did so he never brought home more than about
123. per week to his wife, who, at the time she ap-
plied for relief, he (Mr. Chamberlain) thought was
partially intoxicated, and who, he had since ascer-
tained, had really been drinking.
Jane Moriat, who had lived 11 years in the house
adjoining, confirmed all that Mr. Chamberlain had
stated, and &so said that the prisoner had plenty of
work if he would only attend to it.
Alderman CUB= said, he was convinced Mr.
Chamberlain had done his duty, and his explanation
had removed any reproach that might have been at-
tached to him in the first instance through an erro-
neous statement.
After the Alderman had left the bench, a letter was
received containing a donation of Li., from " E. H.,"
to be applied for the benefit of the prisoner and his
family ; and, if found not deserving, to be appro-
priated to any other charitable use the Alderman
might think fit. Two young men, printers, called
at the court to inquire if the prisoner was a de-
serving object, as they were getting up a subscription
in their office for him ; but, on being informed of
what had transpired, they expressed an intention to
assist the wife and children, but not to allow any
money to pass through the prisoner's hands. With
regard to the ss. from " Type," an acknowledgment
was requested in the papers.

HUSH EVIDENCE.
On the inquest at Six-mile-bridge, one of the wit-
nesses, John German, displayed a fair sample of the ec-
centricity and shrewdness so frequently displayed by
Hibernians, when on the table of Themis. The follow-
ing is the report of his cross-examination
Cross. examined by Mr. Graydon—l hold under Sir
Lucius O'Brien—long life to his honour—and I have
my receipts in my pocket—that's the chat—(Laughter)
—I couldn't tell how many people were in the lane, but,
Mr. Graydon—Hold your tongue, sir.
Witness—Sure 'tis you that's making me speak.
Mr. Graydon—Tell me, sir, how many people were
there ?—No answer.
Mr. Graydon—Come, sir, answer the question.
Witness—l don't know how to answer 3 our honour,
for fear of disobliging you.—(Laughter.) The people
in the garden were all standing up like fools, and God
knows I was the chief fool amongst them, for the cross
woman I have desired me to stay in bed that morning.
and if I did I would not see this.—(Loud laughter.)
Mr. Graydon—ls your wife a young woman P Wit.
hess—She was once young.—(Laughter.)
Cross examination continued—l cannot tell how many
persons were there, for it was not them I was minding.
I cannot say whether there were five or five hundred,
for I was dazzled. I went near enough not to be there
at all when the ball passed my two poor shins.
Mr. Graydon—Now this is too bad—answer, sir.
Witness—'Tis happy for the woman that owns you.
You're a pleasant man, God bless you.—(Laughter.)
Mr. Graydon—Did you see any women there? Wit-
ness—Arran, man, how could I notice them when I was
not on the wall hile you'd be taking a dust of snuff, if
you take any.
Mr. Graydon—What were you doing while on the
wall? Witness—Looking at the muzzles of the guns.
for they had bayonets screwed on, and I was afraid I'd
get a prod.
Mr. Graydon—How many men were in front of the
soldiers? Witness-1 hadn't time, man, to do what you
are asking me.
Mr. Graydon—Were there men there at all? Wit-
nes—lt there were, they were in a bad place, that's all I
know. I wouldn't notice a woolpack there, I was so

OFF MALAGA, JULY 17.—The squadron, fourteen in
number, with Admiral Dundas; it blowing a good
breeze the Admiral sent the Trafalgar six miles to lee-
ward, and then started all the other ships to sail round
her, and then beat up to him. We rounded the Trafal-
gar in the following order—Phaeton, Vengeance, High-
flyer, Indefatigable, Encounter, Albion, Arrogant, Bel-
lerophon. Dauntless. The Phaeton was four minutes
before Vengeance, which was half a minute before
Highflyer. In beating up to windward the latter soon
stepped to windward of all except Phaeton (White's
frigate), and rounded the Admiral as fellows:—Phaeton,
Highflyer, Indefatigable, Encounter, Vengeance, Albion,
Bellerophon, Dauntless, Arrogant.
In the afternoon the Admiral made signal for Phaeton
and Highflyer to try rate of sailing. It was blowing
fresh, and Phaeton carried away her maintop gallant yard,
and other little mishaps. The Admiral then annulled the
trial, but it was sufficienTly evident Phaeton had the best
of it; however it was a great triumph for Highflyer.
19th—The Admiral employed the forenoon in exer-
cising the ships in different manoeuvres, forming orders
of sailing, lines of battle, retreat, &c.; after it was over
telegraphed " Higbflyer very well."
PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—Niger, screw steam-sloop,
Commander Heath, came into Portsmouth Harbour this
morning to be examined; she will probably be docked to
have her paddle-shaft examined.
Vimiera, for Port Philip with emigrants, and the
Marlborough, Indiaman, sailed yesterday morning for
their destinations.
The Irish steam-packet Foyle embarked a portion of
the 7th Royal Fusiliers this morning from the dockyard,
and left with them in the afternoon fur Plymouth. She
will return on Thur.day for the remainder of the same
regiment. It seems a very peculiar feature in the con-
ducting of the transport service of the State, that whilst
men-of-war steam-frigates are lying ready for sea, but
listlessly inactive, in the roadstead and in harbour, that
the country should be put to the expense of hiring a
mercantile trading steamer to do the national work.
Does this matter lie with the Admiralty or the War-
office?
The Wasp, 14, Commander Pritchard (acting), sailed
from Spithead last night for Woolwich to refit, but whe-
ther before or after paying off is not known.
A survey is being held on the Harpy iron steam-ves-
sel to-day.
SHEERNESS, AUG. 10.—Her Majesty's ship Daphne,
18, Captain Fanshawe, had her powder taken oat yes-
terday, and left at noon, in tow of the African steam-
tug vessel, for Chatham, where she will be dismantled
and paid off.
Her Majesty's screw steam frigates, Amphion, 34, and
Horatio, 22, and paddle-wheel steam -vessel, Cyclops, 6,
have taken on board as much coal as they eau stow, so
that they may be ready to proceed to sea, if required, at
the shortest possible notice.

CORK, AUG. 9.

THREE O'CLOCK, I, rho third series of trials,
which were fixed to commence on Friday next, are post-
poned until the 20th inst.
We make this announcement to prevent disappoint-
ment to the numerous persons who have taken so much
interest in the results.
ERRATIIM.—In the analysis of the results of the
second series of experiments on anchors (a report of
which appeared in The Sun of Monday) Mitcheson
and Sons' anchor was inadvertently stated to possess an
advantage of sixteen feet holding power over Lieutenant
Rodgers's Exhibition prize anchor, instead of six feet.
APPOINTMENT.

WooLwica, AUG 10 —Assistant-Surgeon Henry C.
S. Wilson, M.D. (1847), to the Highflyer steam-sloop, at
present on an experimental cruise.
Rear-Admiral Sir Phipps Hereby, K.C.8., and Corn-
medore Sir Thomas Herbert, K,C.B, Lords of the Ad-
miralty, visited Woolwich-dockyard to-day, and were
accompanied by Commodore - Superintendent Henry
Eden and Mr. Lang, mater-shipwright, during a
lengthened inspection of the Agamemnon, 90, fitting
with engines of 600-horse power and screw propeller by
John Penn and Son.
The Tyne store and troop ship, Master-Commander
Peter Wellington, is still at Woolwich refitting for
further service, and has not left this port since she
returned with old stores from Rio and the Island of
Ascension.
The Widgeon steam-vessel went dowdthe river a short
distance this afternoon to try her engines, and, when
completed, she is to be taken round to Pembroke to be
employed as a tug vessel at that port, instead of the
Prospero, now unfit for service.
The works connected with the enlargement of the en-
trance to the outer basin are now nearly completed, and
the caisson, after being lengthened 9 feet, or 4i feet on
each side, has bren replaced in its former position, and a
new platform raised over it. When necessary, two large
volumes of water can be discharged at a considerable
height through it from the water in the basin, which has
the effect of deepening the entrance considerably, and
the fall causes the current to carry off the mud deposits
to a distance from the wharf wall.
DETONPORT, MONDAY.—Lady Montague convict ship
sailed this afternoon with 290 male convicts for Van
Diemen's Land.
A Mr. Wilkinson has been here to-day and visited the
Belloisle, 72, Endymion, 44, and Andromache, 44, with
a view to their being purchased for the merchant ser-
vice. A party of gentlemen from Lloyd's have visited the
dockyard this afternoon.
TUESDAY.—Orders have been received at the dock-
yard at this port to discontinue the sale of old rope. In
the trial of a party at the recent Bximin assizes, on the
charge of embezzling Queen's stores, the judge took oc-
casion to remark on the impropriety of the Government
disposing of articles of this description. The present
order is supposed to have arisen out of these obser-
vations.
CXATHAM, MONDAY.—The Daphne, 18, Captain Fan-
shawe, came to Chatham this afternoon to be paid off.
Sinbad naval lighter arrived on Saturday with stores
from Plymouth and Portsmouth.

EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Carter held an I,,quest at the
Hero of Waterloo, Waterloo-road, on the body of
George Charrott, a coachman recently in the employ of
Mr. Dimack, the banker, residing at Forest Hill.
Mr. Charles Angell; the keeper of the Bridge coffee-
house, 52, Lower Marsh, said on Sunday last, between
five and six o'clock in the morning, the deceased and his
wife were brought in a cab to my house from the Tower-

had taken from a box he brought with him, to a hatpeg

promptly arrived, and pronounced him to be dead. I
also sent for the police, and they conveyed the woman
to the Lambeth Workhouse, and the man was taken to
the deadhouse. •
