POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGR-STRE ET.
GOING TO THE DERBY.—Edward Douglas, of the Tavi'
stock Hotel, Covent-garden, was charged before Mr. Kilo%
with being drunk and disorderly in Coventry-street, thi°
morning, about four o'clock.

Leyland, 556, and Sergeant Howe, 21 0, proved at four
this morning the defendant was drunk in Coventry .street,
having been just put out of the One Tun pubhc-honset
Arundel-court, and as he was causing a great disturbance
they requested him to go away. The defendant retusedg
and was then taken into custody.
hie
return defendant said he had been to the Derby, and on hol
return to town dropped into a public-house to hare a glee.
and there had his overcoat taken from him. On going into
Leicester-square the constables dragged him through the
mud in quite an unconstitutional sort of way. He was
not the least drunk, and would like to know whether he
staggered P

Sergeant Harrison, the acting-inspector at Vine-street,
said the defendant was drunk.
Defendant said the constable pushed him about, a.,d that
he had lost his hat, and had that morning the inconve-
nience of walking from Vine-street to the Court without A
hat.

Mr. Knox said that persons when they got drunk were
apt to lose their hats, and he (Mr. Knox) had no doubt the
defendant was drunk. But for the defence he had made
he should have only fined him the usual drunkard's fee of
65., but as it was he should find the defendant 10s.
The defendant was then removed, stating that he had
been nicely " cleared out," and must send for the money.

WESTMINSTER.
DERBY Spoms.--Robert Brown and Joseph Greenawalt
two rough-looking men, were charged with unlawfully ha"
ing in their possession divers articles supposed to havebaen
stolen.
Joseph Case, a detective officer, 142 B, said that at two
o'clock this morning he was in Grosvenor-row, Pimlico'
when he saw the prisoner Brown driving a cart, in which .
there were three other men. They pulled up at the Cheshire
Cheese public-house, and two of the men, getting out of the
cart, ran down a court. Witness then told the prisoner
that he must stop him, and inquire what he had got in the
cart, and found a bag containing a gentleman's coat, with
a book in the pocket, a number of knives and forks with a
crest upon them, and some spoons. The prisoner Green'
away was lying in a corner of the cart apparently asleeP'
but witness moved him, and found under him a rag) a
lady's cloak, and some cloths marked "F. Cox."
Mr. Arnold—Did the prisoners say anything ?
Witness—Brown said nothing, but that the thing,' in the
cart all belonged to him. Greenaway, when I took hire to
the station, said he was sorry he had been in the cart along
with the others.
Brown said that Bell Mears hired his cart to drive to
Epsom to pick up bottles on the course, and promised to
give him 10s. He took him and brought him back, and aid
not know what was in the cart as he was at " Tottenham'
Court Corner," three hours, while Bell Mears was in and
out of the cart, and, therefore, of course, could not tell
what he was doing all that time.
Mr. Arnold—ls anything known of these men F
Policeman—Greenaway is constantly about with had
characters at Chelsea, and Brown has been seen severs',
times with Mears.
Mr. Arnold—ls Mears known to the police?
Police—Yes, your worship.
Prisoners were remanded for a week.

THAMES.
CLEANING A FEVER HOLE,—Mr. Edward Fu
the
nepector of Nuisances, and Sanitary Inspector to
Board of Works for the Poplar district, applied to Air
Woolrych for an order to compel a man named Willian3
Hart to repay to the Board the sum of £29 le. 2d., whiuh
had been expended in cleansing, ventilating, and laying°
a water supply to 15 small and dilapidated houses ie. 61
court or alley called Irish-row, Well-street, Poplar.
Mr Fulcher explained that the tenements in question
were in a very filthy state, anti many persons existing 111
them had been attacked with fever; in fact, the
noxious vapours which proceeded from the buildinger
and the overflowing cesspools attached to there,
were injurious to the health of the inhabitant°
of the immediate neighbourhood. The proprietor
was summoned, the case was fully made out, and an order
made upon him to do the necessary sanitary works. lie
had failed to do so, and the orders of the magistrates were
carried out by persons employed by the Board. Now e
was changed, the noxious cesspools were filled up, ti2e
houses cleaned and lime-washed, water laid on, and proper
retiring-places constructed. The houses were not fit fur
the habitation of human beings before the magistrate made
his order, and deaths from fever and small-pox had oe'
curred in Irish-row; now all was changed, and the hone°
were comparatively healthy and comfortable.
An old woman, the wife of the defendant, said he could
not attend and was very ill. She alleged that the proper%
in question was very unproductive, and let for a very
urn. T here was also a great difficulty in collecting w"
rents of the " estate," inasmuch as the occupiers adapted th
truly Irish mode of paying the rents in Irish-row, using
threats when rents were demanded.
Mr, Fulcher admitted the old couple, Mr. and Mrs. Kart'
were in great poverty, and that they only held a lease of
Irish-row,

Mr. Woolrych said the district board had acted very pro'
perly in the matter, and with due regard to the publi°
health and convenience, and kindly taking into considers'
tion the poverty of ihe defendant, and the small rental 10
obtained from Trish-row, he made an order for the pi'
ment of Bs. per month until the district board of Popillf
were re-itnbursed the money expended in carrying out WI
(Mr. Woolrych's) orders.

Mrs. Hart thanked the magistrate for his kindness and
retired.

A great number of fever holes in the Poplar district hake
been lately purified uncle/ the direction of Messrs. Anse!'
and Ellison, and Mr. Fulcher, the inspector, and other saal'
tory works are in progress in the parishes of All Saintt4
Poplar, Bromley, St. Leonard, and St. Mary le Stratford"
Bow, forming the Poplar district under the control of the
Board of Works.

CITY TWELVE O'CLOCK.
ADVANCE IN THE MINIMUM RATE OF

DISCOUNT.

The directors of the Bank of England at their
meeting to-day have raised their terms of interest
and discount from 31- to 4 per cent. The measure
was to a large extent anticipated, owing to the
terms recently asked in the general money market,
and the consequent pressure of nearly the whole of
the current business upon the national establish-
ment. The announcement being expected has not
led to much discussion, but in some quarters it is
regarded with satisfaction, as it may have the effect
of checking the introduction of so many foreign
schemes.

The last week's railway receipts ascertained up
to this day are, in round figures, as under :

1863. 1862.

EXTRAORDINARY MURDER
IN FRANCE.—The
dare of Maisons Alfort, near Paris, has just been
Le scene of a dreadful murder somwitted by a lad only 16
:Lars of ago on his own mother. A steady working man
amed Aubrey, employed in an ironfoundry, had long been
n
ving most unhappily with his wife on account of herda
runken habits. They had two children, a lad of 16 an
aby in arms. A few days since Aubrey, accompanied by his
)n, came to Paris on business, and before leaving strictly
aarged his wife not to drink during his absence. On his re-
alm, he found her lying intoxicated on the bed. In his fury
e seized a loaded gun which was in the room. His son hav-
ig asked him what he was going to do, he replied, " For 21
ears your mother by her drunkenness has made me miser-
51e and kept me poor. I can endure it no longer ; I must
then kill her or myself." The lad instantly snatched the
an from d
hat the selis fath 'a hand, exclaiming "No, I will kill
" and moment discharged the gun into his
other's breast. He then threw down the gun end was
Inning away, when some of the neighbours who had heard
.e report stopped him. On entering the bedroom they
.w the father standing, as if petrified, by the side of hie
ife, who was quite dead. Both father and son were at
lee given into custody, and when interrogated by the corn-
iesary of l olice they stated the circumstances of the crime
' given above. The two prisoners have been sent to the
'efecture of police. The murdered woman was first cousin
the late Cardinal Morlot, Archbishop of Paris, Clarissa
orlot was her whim canoe.
