POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

THAMES.

Trft WOMAN WHO ItO3;;HETOOR —Mary Ann Santry,
a vulgar and dissipated woman, aged 23, and lately dwell-
ing at 4, Sun and Sawyer's-court, Poplar, was brought be-
fore Mr. Paget, charged with stealing two pairs of boots
from the apartment of a poor woman named Mary Magrath,
of Vail .passage, Broad-street, Ratcliff, and one pair of boots
from the room of another poor woman named Ann Rally, in
the same locality.
The prisoner was described by George Pullin, No. 10 K,
as a very mischievous thief, who prowled about very poor
neighbourhoods early in the morning, and sneaked into
rooms, carrying off anything she could lay her hands on
The value of the property was trifling, but a serious loss to.
the poor creatures she had robbed. On the morning of the
21st of June, the dwellings of the parties abovenamed were
entered, and the boots stolen. In one case the boots stolen
were worth 35., and the woman said her child had only
worn them one day, the previous Sunday, and her poor
husband was a coal whipper, whose labour was hard and
earnings scanty. In the other case two pairs of children's
boots were stolen, and they had been under the necessity of
going without since. Pullen found the three pairs of boots
at a pawnbroker's shop. The prisoner had raised money on
them and spent it on gin and beer. Her love for strong
drinks was proverbial, and she was known by the inelegant
cognomen of "Lushy Poll." She was seen in the imme-
ciate vicinity of the two places the boots were stolen from
on the morning of the 21st of June.
The prisoner, in a whining tone, said, " Pray be merciful,
sir, I am a poor lone woman, I am guilty."
Mr Paget said the prisoner deserved no mercy at all. She
had committed very cruel robberies—both robberies were
very heartless and cruel. He sentenced her to be impri-
soned for six months' in the House of Correction and kept
to hard labour.

LE CXY FELLOWS—A VISIT TO THE PRINCE AND
PRINCESS or WALES.—Threo well known and active thieves
named Thomas Jones, aged 23, Honry Archer, 17, and
John Webb, 19, wore brought up on remand before Mr
Paget, charged with felony.

On Monday afternoon last, on the occasion of laying the
foundation stone of the London Hospital, the prisoners were
at the corner of the New-road and Whitechapel•road, and
were busy at wo, k among the pockets of the well dressed.
A very respectable and intelligent woman, named Mary
Ann Smith, the wife of William Smith, a butcher, saw the
prisoners dive unsuccessfully into the pockets of several
persons. At last two of them stood in front of a lady while
Archer put his hand into her pocket and drew something
out, which he at once handed to Jones. A rush, a push and
a shout was the next ruse of the three thieves, who were
closely watched by Mrs. Smith. She gave information to the
police, and the prisoners were taken into custody. They
made a desperate resistance, and kicked and plunged
violently. The constables on duty under Superintendent
Howie, of the K division, were too numerous and active to
allow suoh villains to escape, and they were soon locked up.
Joseph Skeats, No, 428 K, said each prisoner had a hole
in his left-hand coat pocket, through which they " worked "
ender cover. He had been unable to find the lady who was
robbed.

John Clark, 491 K, said that Jones was committed for
trial some time ago for felony, convicted and sentenced to
12 months' imprisonment,
Jones—That's a lie, I can prove it to be false. It's a
regular lie, I was only paying a visit to the Prince and
Princess of Wales on Monday last.
Mr Paget had no doubt the prisoners has robbed a lady,
but as she was not forthcoming, the prisoners must be dis-
charged.

The prisoners (uses voce)—We are luck), fellows. Good
morning,

DINING HALLS FOR THE WORKING CLASSES.-
The following noblemen and gentlemen have be-
come patrons of the association just formed, for the purpose
of establishing cheap dining depots (on the plan of the
Surrey Cooking Depot), throughout the metropolis :—The
Right Hon. the Lord Brougham and Valli, the Right Hon.
the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, Lard Lyttleton, F,R.S.,
Lord Stanley, M.P., Sir John Villiers Shelley, Bart., M.P.,
Mr Alderman Waterlow, W. Blanchard Jerrold, Esq.,
George Godwin, Esq., W. Hawes, Esq., Chairman of the
Council of the Society of Arts.

AN EXTRAORDINARY WILL.—A curious family
lawsuit has just been settled at Paris. One Senor
Jose Joachim da Gams Machado, gentleman of the bed-
chamber to the King of Portugal, and an attorney in wait-
ing to the Portuguese Embassy, finding himself about to
die, made a will, and then was so long before he really
" gave up the ghost" that he added 71 codicils to the ori-
ginal instrument. Having signed the 71st, he really did die
in the summer of 1861, and from then till now his estate
hos been food for lawyers. Many of the codicils were strange,
For instance :—" I leave to the Athenaeum of Paris 10,000 f.,
the interest of which at 5 per cent. will be 500 f, Half of
this interest to be paid to a professor of natural history,
who shall lecture on the influence of colours and patterns
of dresses on the character of animals." Again :—" My
funeral shall take place at three p.m, the hour when
the rooks of the Louvre come home to dinner," The
Portuguese attaché was devoted to tame birds, and
ho desired that many stuffed specimens should
be placed in his coffin—that his servant should carry to
the ceremony "one of my favourite birds in his cage"—
that certain birds should be let loose in the Bois de
Boulogne on the day of his funeral; also that his horses
should follow the procession, but not draw any carriage.
There was another droll codicil :—" May 26, 1859.—8 ad
weather, and I can't get out; so I will do a little good.
I leave M. do Chevalier 10,000 f and I increase the annual
pension of my servants I,ooof a head." Senor Machado
had during his life erected hie own tomb, on which were
engraved a sun, a bird, an ox, a dog, an egg " proper" sur-
mounting them. Beneath was inscribed, "Here reposes
the author of the Theory of Likeness.' " This was one of
his crotchets. "He was born a stammerer and short-
sighted, and he died blind. Passer-by, admire the bounty
of nature." The heir-at-law'disputed the validity of the
will, but the law has decided that the deceased was only
vain, not insane, and therefore had a right to will away his
own property, which it was proved he had managed with
excessive caution during his life.

THE ALLEGED MASSACRE OF FOUR HUNDRED
SWEDES IN ALSEN. —borne of the journals re-
cently mentioned that among the prisoners made on the
island of Alsen were 100 Swedes who were all put to death.
The statement is now contradicted : " There are, indeed,
among the prisoners," says a Berlin letter, "some soldiers
who have net taken oath to Ring Christian IX., and some
officers who could not produce a Danish commission ; but
the Prussian authorities have thus far not applied military
law to them." Prince Frederick Charles has announced in
an order of the day of the 3d, that in future in such cases
the soldiers will be tried by a military court,—Galignani,
At the first meeting of the present council of
the Society of Arts since their election, Mr. William Hawes,
vice-president, was unanimously re-elected chairman for
the current year.

DEATH FROM HiDROFHOBIA4—On Thursday
Thomas Mortis, a Liverpool dock gateman, died from
hydrophobia. About six months ago a police offic3r re-
leased a litt):d poodle dog from the Canning graving dock,
and took it to the gateman's hut. Shortly afterwards
Morris went into the hut, and was patting the the dog on
the head when it growled and snapped at him, biting him
slightly on the hand. He thought no more of the matter,
and continued at his work until Tuesday last, when his arm
began, to swell. The usual symptoma soon came on, and
th.cugh Morris had the attendance of several eminent
medical men he died on Thursday morning, after suffer-
ing great agony.

A Russian merchant, M. Sidorow, who has ac•
quired an enormous fortune at Siberia, has given
the sum of 120,000 roubles and the produce of a vast auri-
ferous territory towards the foundation of a university at
Tobosk. A Russian journal which seemed to throw some
doubts upon the realisation of his scheme only produced
the effect of making him send another sum of 20,000 roubles
and two huge gold nuggets to the government towards the
furtherance of the plan. There is no reason why, with this
enormous sum and the 50,000 roubles contributed for the
some object by M. Demidoff in 1803 (a sum which, un-
touched since, has now increased to 75,000 roubles), a
Tobolsk university should not in reality be founded soon.
—The Brader,

CriEvzit SPlDERS.—Spiders can do more than they
havQ yet received credit for. An observer, of whose
accuracy no one who knows him will entertain a doubt,
told me that he once saw a garden spider busy stretching
his Tine from one shrub or bush to another. The wind being
anther strong, the line oscillated more than the spider ap-
proved, and he accordingly steadied it to the ground by
I threads which he attached between it and small pebbles
tying beneath it on the earth. This looks very like the
, sagacity and shiftiness which, in man, is called intelligence.
The tent of Clotho Durandii deserves special mention
among the specimens exemplifying the ingenuity of spiders.
This tent is formed at first of two sheets of the finest taffeta,
to which the spider adds additional coverings when hatch-
'Mg her eggs. The outside sheet is soiled to conceal th,
tent; the inside is white, clean, downy, and warm. When
compelled to leave her tent in search of food, the spider
fastens the outside sheets with.fastenings of which she alone
possesses the secret.—. Dickens's "All the rear Round."`
GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY MEETING.—The ad-
journed meeting of the proprietors to consider the
remaining bills before Parliament, was held yesterday, Mr
Goodson in the chair. 'rho Chairman said ho was happy to
inform the meeting that there would be no necessity for any
further adjournment. There were only two bills now requir-
ing the sanction of the proprietors, namely—The Metropo-
litan Bill and the Junction Bill. The solicitor (Mr. May-
nard) then read the heads of the two bills referred to, en-
titled "A bill to authorise the Great Eastern
Railway respectively
maketiv el
yseveral railways in and near the metropolis
re
in connexion with their existing railway, and to purchase
lan& for a station in the City of London," and "A bill to
authorise the Great Eastern Railway Company to make
several short junction railways for connecting different rail-
ways in their system, at various points, and for other pur-
P-ses " On the motion of the Chairman, resolutions •ap-
proving of the bills rere passed unanimously.

TEE BOMBAY MAIL,

By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have
papers from Bombay to June 8, and from Calcutta
to May 31.
The following is from the Times of _lndia ;

" The headquarters of the Bombay Government
and army are still at Mtthableshwar. The Viceroy
and Governor-General is at Simla.
" The resignation of the chief command of the
army by Sir Hugh Rose, and the appointment of
Sir William Mansfield as his successor, are stated as
coming events near at hand.

" Affghanistan is now plunged into civil war.
Auzim Khan has lost his game. Almost the whole
of his force deserted him on the eve of an engage-
ment with the Ameer's troops under Ruffeeh Khan,
who completely routed the remainder of his force.
The A meer has marched on Balkh to attack Afzul
Khan, with every prospect of success.

"An eastern frontier brigade has been formed,
comprising such troops as may be stationed in
Assam, the Cossyab, and Jynteah Hills, and Sylhet ;
and the Bhootiahs, and other eastern frontier
peoples and tribes, are hen chforth to be dealt with
as the Punjaub Government, by means of the Pun-
jaab Field Force, deals with the Euzufzyes,
illomunds, and similar tribes.
c, The tract of land situated at the foot of the
Bhootan Hills, called Arabarree Fallacootab, is to
be immediately annexed to the British territories.
The sum of 10,000 ra , hitherto paid as a subsidy
to the Bhootiahs on the frontier of Assam, has been
ordered to be discontinued. The Bilootiahs are to
bt, hemmed in by posts established along our fron-
tier, the garrisons of which are to prevent supplies
of any kind reaching Bhootan from British India.
These measures will soon humble the Bhootiahs, as
the Hill States depend on our territories for most
of their supplies.

"The Akhoond of Swat addressed the people of
Jellalabad, urging them to declare against the
Ameer of Cabal, who, although a Mussulman, had
formed a friendship with Perunghees.
" S here Dil Khao, ruler (usurper) of Khelat, was

Many officers of the line are about to return
to tho local army.

"Major Light's practice with the Armstrong
guns at Peshawur has produced a marked sensation
on the envoy from Cabul.
"Sixty of Mecham's irregular cavalry at Pesha•
wur have been dismissed for insubordination.

"A cruel suttee recently took place at Beygoon
in Meywar. The son of the Raja; died and was
cinerated on the 28th of April ; his widow was
thrown on the funeral pile and held there until
force was no longer required.

The gtamfad Race

lups,

There are now on view, at the establishment of Mr. C.
F. Hancock, the court jeweller, 0! Bruton. street, three
most exquisite race cups, each of which :s to be contended
for at the forthcoming meeting at Stamford The Ciifden
Silver Cup, value 200 guineas, in design, is pure'," classical,
with rich decorations in the style of the fifteenth ce:iturY„
The glittering, work of art stands about 30 inches high,
unlike the usual roping trophy, is in fact a cup of the most
splendid proportions. The front is ornamented with a fine
bas relief in oxodised silver, representing Henry 111. i
rescued by his son Prince Edward at the battle of Eves-
ham; the handles are formed of genii Yaounted on grotesque
dragons, and the whole is surmounted with a figure of
Fame. Nothing can be more beautiful than the execution
of the cup, and the fortunate winner may congratulate
himself on being the possessor of one of the finest specimens
of art in the precious metal ever produced.
The " Stamford Cup" and the " Welter Cup" are each
as elegant and tasteful as the Stewards' Cup, though, of
course, of less intrinsic value. The former is a cup and
cover, partly gilt, of novel form; and the latter a mediaeval
shaped silver tazz 1, with open worked handles, from the
antique, with a cover mounted by a fine group of horses.
The workmanship of the whole is superb ; and another
circumstance for which Mr Hancoek is much commended
is, that in each instance he has produced a work of both
utility and beauty, in opposition to the senseless and useless
groups generally manufactured, and ridiculously enough
denominated racing " cups."
