POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

Slo*-0U SE.
On Saturday the MA
fa N
ther of the two children who were
drowned on board the Apollo steam-vessel complained to
the Loin) MAYOR, that the persons employed to raise the
wreck of the Apollo steamer made no progress in the work,
which was expected to have been accomplished long ago.
By order of the LORD MAYOR Captain Fisher, the har-
bour-master, attended to_rePort who,, had bin done ac-
cording to his observe:ions.
Captain Fisher said that one failure had bcvn made, and
he apprehended that the attempt now being made would
also he ineffectual. Th difficulty was very treat in con-
sequence of the depth of water in which the wreck lay, and
quantity of riusi which had accumulated. - .
The LORD MAYOR asked whether-the navigaeon was
dangerous in consequence of the state in which the wreck
lay ? Captain Fishar did not consider it dangerous to other
vessels, but it would be injurious if the anchors of other
vessels came in contact with the wreck, an event very likely
to occur.

A Waterman said that anchors had run foul of the wreck
twenty tunes at least.
The LORD MAYOR--What distance is the wreck from
the surface at low water ? Captain Fisher—About 22
feet, and her bottom is about 40 feet from the surface.
The LORD •MAYOR—If the Commercial Steam Com-
pany, to which she briongs, abandon her, I suppose the
course we must pursue is to blow her up ? Captain Fisher
said that was the Utst resource, and in all probability it
would be necessary to apply it.
His Lordship then sent to the ComMercial Company to
know ►•hat had been done towards raising the wreck, and
assured the complainants that the work should b., ordered
to proceed• with all possible expedition.

6 UILDIIALE.
Julius Stehiburgh, alias Henorlesburgh, was charged with
obtaining goods under false pretences. He had. been exa-
mined on a previous day, when Mr. Burbridge, of Tysoe-
street, dressing-case maker, stated that the prisoner came
to him in August, 1836, accompanied by a Mr. Jackson,
and hating se:ected goods to the amount of 23/., they or-
dered them to be sent to No. 7, Castle-street, Falcon-
square. From their manner while they were looking out
the goods, and also when the goods were delivered, he sup-
posed the prisoner and Jackson to be partners. He was
to have been paid on delivering the goods, but they then
pretended that a remittance they expected by post had
not arrived, and persuaded him to take a bill at fourteen
days. The bill was accepted by Jackson, and they referred
him to a house in Finsbury-square, and another -in Three
Kings'-court, for a character. Before the bill came due
they ran away, and sold the property to a Jew. To show
that Jackson and the prisoner were well acquainted, a
female said that the former lodged in her house, and
that the prisoner frequently visited him. Jackson, how-
ever, had no sooner run up a bill of .5/. for victuals and
drink, and obtained a suit of clothes on credit, than he
shifted- his quarters. It was stated that Jackson was in
custody at Lambeth-street, where he stands committed as
to one charge.

Mr. Alderman FAREBROTIIER should have no difficulty
in holding the prisoner end Jackson to bail for conspiring
to defraud. He should, therefore, remand the prisoner till
Friday, when Jackson might be brought before him, if th©
County Magistrates should so direct.

BO W- STREET.
On Saturday, a decent-looking woman was charged with
attempting to obtain 1/. from Admiral Sir P. Durham, by
means of a begging letter. The prisoner was committed as
a vagrant to the House of Correction for one month.

HATTON GARDEN.
A person, named Downy, was charged by the parish
officers of St. Pancras with deserting his wife, who stated,
that although her husband was well able, he would not con-
tribute anything towards her maintenance.
The defendant had just come out of the House of Cor-
rection, where he had been confined one month on a like
charge ; but as the Rev. Stewart Taylor, of Dorset-street,
Portman-square, now came forward to prove that the wife
had 50/. per year coming in, which her husband could not
touch, and that she also received about 20/. annually as a
pew-opener, the Magistrates viewed the affair in quite a
different light than on a former occasion, and, instead of
sending the defendant (who, it really seemed, had been
" pokered"- out of the house by his wife) to prison again,
they discharged the warrant, and the woman, at the insti-
gation of the Magistrates, consented to give up the three
children to the lather's care.

James Downes, aged 21, was finally examined on the
charge of stealing 2001. worth of property, belonging to Mr.
Sttlaight, ivory turner, of Charles-street, Hatton-garden.
The prisoner was committed.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Information was given in the early part of the week to
the Magistrates of this office that a person was defrauding
tradesmen by assuming to be Lord Colchester. The fraud
was detected by Mr. Grant, watchmaker, of the Hay-
market, from %%lions the imposter had obtained a watch to
wear until a chronometer, which he gave an order for, was
completed. His Lordship being desirous of putting an
end to the imposition as speedily as possible, obtained the
assistance of Clements, an active and experienced officer,
and a strict search was immediately made for the indivi-
dual who was personating his Lordship. Clements, on in-
quiry, ascertained that the impostor had for some time car-
ried on the fraud, and to a considerable extent ; but, as it
turned out that the system pursued was one not so likely to
entail a heavy loss on the victimised tradesman as to put
him to very great inconvenience, it was considered advisa-
ble to put the public on its guard as speedily as possible.
The impostor is about thirty-five years of age, short, stout,
and a large red nose ; be states
.himself to be the com-
mander sometimes of the Galatea, and sometimes of the
Volage. ,;
