and on mounting the staircase to retire to rest was leaning
over the banister, when he lost his balance and fel t forward,
receiving fuch iujurics that ho expired in a few hour' after.
The count was aged 41 years.
The coarse of exchange at New York on London for bills at

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A TICKET-OF-LEAVE MAN AT WORK AGAIN.—Tho
men, named William Steed and George Gavin, the former
a ticket-of-leave man, were charged with attempting to
steal a watch of the value of £5, from the person of George
Puddy, a bootmaker, of Hatwood-street, Camden Town.
Henry Dawson, 201 A, while in company of Shrives,
KG, last night, about 11 o'clock, saw the prisoners in the
Ilaymarkut. They walked as far as Charing-Cross, and
stopped a gentleman and spoke to him. The gentleman
walked on, and the prisoner than went back to where Daw-
son first saw them, and afterwards to Regent-street, when
they stopped in front of the prosecutor, and asked him the
way to Soho-square. Dawson walked towards the pri-
Foners when he saw the prosecutor seize them and call cut
" Give me my watch—police." Tho prisoner Steed having
while speaking to prosecutor drawn his watch out of his
pocket. Dawson then took Steed into custody, and Gavin
was taken by Shriver; and while on the way to the station
Steed, by a sudden jerk, released himself from the hold of
Dodsworth, 338 A, to whom ho had been given ov r, and
struck him several violent blows in the mouth with his fist
evidently with the intention of making his escape.
Mr Tyrwhitt said he should send the prisoners for trial,
and perhaps a bill might also be preferred against Steed for
the assault.

Steed, in a most impudent tone, said that perhaps he
should have to prefer a bill against the police.
Mr fyrwhitt asked the prisoners whether they wished to
say anything ?
Steed replied " It ain't no use."
Mr Tyt whitt committed the prisoners for trial.
Dawson said that Steed had undergone penal servitude
and was at large on a ticket-of-leave.

The prisoners, who aro well dressed men, are, from their
determined demeanour in court, evidently very dangerous

`ellowe.

ALLEGED EXTENSIVE ROBBERY DV A CONFIDENTIAL
SERVINT.—Reuben West, having the:management of the
business of Mr Edward Pratt, hatter, &c.., of 37, Old Bond-
street, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with stealing 80
hats and 4 umbrellas of the value of £5O, the property of
his employer.
The evidence was far from perftct, and Mr Tyrwhitt re-
manded the prisoner for a week, and consented to take bail
for the prisoner's future attendance.

LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 13, 1864.

The intelligence of the decision of the Chicago
Convention has been watched for with keen inte-
rest in this country. Speculations were rife as to
the name of the successful candidate, and the im-
portance which always attaches to the assembly at
Chicago Convention is this year doubled by the
vital interest attending the great uestion, Is it to
be peace or war ? The answer, according to Chicago,
is apparently to be peace, and it is no wonder that
the great nation, so long torn and distracted by in■
ternecine strife, should begin to weary of the hope.
less conflict. Murmurs are heard on every hand,
while, plentiful as Mr. CHASE'S greenbacks may be,
they cannot compensate to those not directly profit-
ing by the war for the terribly high price of every
cnnmodity of life. Civil liberty is virtually at an
end ; and the free-spoken democrats of New York,
who carried their licence of speech and action of old
to somewhat unwarrantable lengths, now look suave
and speak with a thought of Fort Lafayette.
Certainly the great Frenchman never expected
that his namesake would be put to such
unworthy uses by the inheritors of the hard-
won liberties of 1783. The wretchedness and deso-
-1 stion that has been spread throughout the hon. es
of the States may be less apparent than the political
results of the war, but they are no less to be counted
among its direful effects. The people have not evea
the glory of military successes to cheer them. As
President DAVIS said to the peace representatives
the other day, LEE is as much besieging GRANT
as GRANT is shutting in LEE, The conquest of

TRENT, BARTON, AND WINTERTON.

Railway communication between Barton and Winterton,
which has long been desired, is about to be supplied, and
the whole of the district placed in communication with the
West Riding and Doncaster and the South Yorkshire coal-
fields. The proposed line will be about 10 miles in length.
As the landowners along the route are favourable to the
project it is expected that the line can be made at a mode-
rate sum. The promoters rely on the coal and mineral
traffic from Sough Yorkshire to Winterton, Barton, and
Hull. •

THE ASHANTEE WAR.

The following is an extract from a letter datt,
Cape Coast, August 14:-.
_ _ _

Tho troop-ships Wanbojieg and Gladiator arrived here on
the 26th of last month, and on the 29th embarked the fol-
lowing officers and men :-1 field officer, 2 captains, 7 sub-
alterns, 1 staff assistant surgeon, 250 men, including 18
sergeants and 6 drummers of the Ist West India Regiment
—133 men, including 6 sergeants and 3 drummers, of he
2d West India Regiment—and 1 sergeant of the 6th West
India Regiment. The Gladiator towed her about 300 miles
to sea and committed her to the winds, and returned here
on the 7th of this month. The next morning she em-
barked 165 men, 3 officers, 1 staff assistant-surgeon of the
4th West India Regiment, with 21 men of the sth West
India Regiment, and steamed to Lagos to relieve the de-
tachment of the 3d West India Regiment stationed there.
We are now garrisoned with about 450 men, who are in
excellent health, there not being more than 30 on the sick
list, and those are rapidly recovering. One officer goes home
this mail on sick leave, and another, who refused to go in
the Wanbojieg, accompanies him. We have not had a drop
of rain for more than a month. A tolerably good harvest
is expected. The distilling apparatus is not doing much;
is is badly situated, and there is no one here to rectify the
mistake made in the first instance.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE,

PENART 11.

The hplf-yearly meeting has been held at their offices,
Penarth, Cardiff—Mr Bailey, M.P., in the chair.
The report stated that the remainder of the works would
soon be completed, and they expected the docks would be
ready for opening on Jan. 1 next. After providing for the
interest on the preferential charges a sufficient balance re-
mained to declare a dividend of 15s per cent per annum
on the ordinary capital. The leases had been forwarded to
the Taft Vale Company, and as soon as the works were
completed the whole undertaking would be transferred to
that company at a rental of 4j per cent per annum on the
capital expended.
The report was unanimously adopted, and a dividend at
tho rato of 15u per cunt per annum was declared for the
half year.

LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 13, 1861.

The intelligence of the decision of the Chicago
Convention has been watched for with keen inte-
rest in this country. Speculations were rife as to
the name of the successful candidate, and the im-
portance which always attaches to the assembly at
Chicago Convention is this year doubled by the
vital interest attending the great question, Is it to
be peace or war ? The answer, according to Chicago,
is apparently to be peace, and it is no wonder that
the great nation, so long torn and distracted by in..
ternecine strife, should begin to weary of the :lope.
less conflict. Murmurs are heard on every hand,
while, plentiful as CHASE'S greenbacks may be,
they cannot compensate to those not directly profit-
ing 14 the war for the terribly high prico of every
cluainedity of life. Civil liberty is virtually- at an
end ; and the free-spoken democrats of New York,
who carried their licenco of speech and action of old
to somewhat unwarrantable lengths, now look suave
and speak with a thought of Fort Lafayette.
Certainly the great Frenchman never expected
that his namesako -would be put to such
Unworthy uses by the inheritors of the hard-
won liberties of 1783. The wretchedness and deso-
lAion that has been spread throughout the horc es
of the States may be lees apparent than the political
results of the war, but they are no less to be counted
among its direful effects. The people have not ENel
the gory of military successes to cheer them. As

ATTEMPTED HOUSE ROBBERY BY A TIC/YET OP
LEAVE MAN IN SIIADIVELL —John Wilson, a ticket of
leave man, was charged before Mr Paget with entering the
house No. 52, High. street, for the purpose of committing
a robbery.
Sergeant Cox, K 45, stated that yesterday evening, in
consequence of information, he went to the house in ques-
tion, with another constable. When he got in he saw the
prisoner, who instantly tried to conceal himself, Witness
at the same time saw another man, who, upon observing
witness, ran upstairs. He was followed by witness into a
room. When ho got into it he jumped through a window
on to the roof of a shop, and then leaped off to the ground,
a depth of about 20 feet. Witness went after him through
the window, but no further. He then ran across a garden
and was attacked by a dog. He, however, got away. The
prisoner was taken into custody by another constable.

Police-constable 4SB A, who took him into custody, pro-
duced several skeleton keys, a jemmy, a pallet, which were
found on the prisoner.

Mr Paget asked if the prisoner was known, when the
constable stated that he was a ticket-of-leave man, and that
ho had received six years penal servitude, and had only
been out of prison two months. He believed it was the in-
tention of the prisoner to get into the rector's house, which
is adjoining. _ _

The prisoner,was sent for three months to the House of
Correction,

flogging in the army was brought on as an amend,
merit on the Mutiny Act, and as that as a great
Government measure (the provision about flogging
in the army being only a clause in it) it vas quite
impossible for him to vote against it. (thar, hear,
and some disapprobation.) But he marked his
feelings by staying away. With regard to Mr
Peabody's gift, he thought that that mus; be dealt
with by the working men themselves. Let them
look into the question and seo what was practicable,
and when that was done he would be willing to ask
Sir George Grey to grant them an interview.
Mr HAYNES then moved a resolution ex.pressing
the thanks of the meeting to Mr Layard for his
diligent attention in Parliament and elsewhere to
the borough of Southwark, and acknowledging with
gratification the frank and satisfactory statement
made by him that evening,
The resolution was agreed to unanimously.
Mr LAYARD responded to the vote of thanks, and,
after thanks had also been voted to the Chairman,
the meeting separated.

MARINE BURGLARY BY A TICKET-OF-LEAVE CON-
'sum—James Conedan, a well-known and desperate thief,
aged 25, of No. 9, Tiles-alley, Limehouse, was brought
before Mr Partridge, on remand, charged with breaking
into the cabin of the ship Ocean, in the London Docks, and
stealing a guard chain.
The Ocean is a foreign ship. On Monday night last,
Captain Moller, the master, was asleep in his cabin, and
was awoke by a noise which induced him to stretch out his
arms, and he caught the prisoner, who was leaning over
his berth and in the act of taking his watch, which was
hanging up. The captain raised an alarm and stalled out,
which aroused Mr Schaltz, the mate, and Hempel, the car•
penter, who jumped out of bed and assisted in securing the
prisoner. The carpenter missed his chain, which he had
lett suspended to his watch When he turned in. It was
found under the berth. The prisoner must have removed
it. The mate missed a guard chain belonging to his watch
from his chest, and it was found in a corner of the cabin,
15 feet from the chest.
Timothy Cox, 45 li, a police-sergeant, said the prisoner
was tried at the March Sessions of the Central Criminal
Court in 1861, convicted of a highway robbery with vio-
lence, and sentenced to four years' penal servitude. The
prisoner was released with a ticket-of-leave some months
ago, and five months of his sentence were still unexpired.
Mr Partridge—Four months. The four years expire in
March, 1865. Did the pi ironer report himself when he
came home ?

The Prisoner—Yes; I did sir.
Cox—He has reported himself regularly once a month.
The Prisoner—l was convicted of a highway robbery, bul
Sergeant Cox knows that I was innocent of that.

Cox—There was a former conviction proved against the
prisoner when he was convicted in 1861. He is known to
the pulice as Pikey.
Mr Partridge committed the prisoner for trial.

A young needlewoman at Yvrench (Somme), was
arrested two days back on suspicion of robbing an
innkeeper in whose house she was employed. She first
attempted to stab herselt in the throat with her scissors,
but they were taken from her—she then asked permission
to go out for a few minutes, and this being accorded, she
ran and threw herself into a deep well close by, The gen-
darmes not seeing her return thought she had attempted to
escape, but seeing the well uncovered, one of their number
was let down and brought up the prisoner unhurt. She
was then removed to the house of detention at Abbeyille.
