POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

WHICH /S THE PRINCESS OF WALES.—A woman of
about fifty years of age, and of by no means prepossessing
appearance, applied to the magistrate for advice.

"Your worship," said the appli3ant, " I am the Princess
of Wales. You see it all in the papers about the
Prinna.is AloNrtnarn, .nd this non (pointing to the usher)
he does not understand it, and knows nothing about it,
but I have come to them as understands and knows
that I was married to the Prince of Wales and lived with
him two nights, and 'then he :left me, and now he is mar-
ried to the Princess Alexandra, while they made a subscrip-
tion for me on the Stock Exchange, and I know they have
got the money. I wrote for it, and here I have got the
answer. They say they would give me any pecuniary aid,
and here are the initials "M.C.8." Now, sir, I
have come to ask you wbat "M.C.8." means, and
whether I canr ot make them give up themoney.
The magistrate told her her that he could not give her
any advice, having nothing to do with the matters referred
to.

The applicant said she had been to other police-courts)
and had been referred to Bond-street• She proceeded with
a number of irrelevant statements, the bearing of which it
was impossible to make out, except that she complained of
incivility on the part of an official in a red robe at the
Mansion-house, who she said evidently did not believe
that she was the real Princess of Wales.

The magistrate listened patiently for some time, but see-
ing that she was not disposed to make an end of her appli-
cation, his worship ultimately suggested to the usher to
"get the poor creature away."

Ultimately she left, saying she should go to another
court.

ISIARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A SAD CASE.—A GIRL CHARGED WITH ROBBING
HER FATHER.—Mary Anne Sawyer, a girl, was charged
with robbing her father.

Henry Sawyer, the father, a respectable looking man,
living in Warren-street, Fitzroy-square, deposed that the
prisoner was his daughter, and that on the Bth of July she
stole a pair of boots belonging to a younger sister and then
absconded, nothing more being seen of her till Saturday
night last.

In answer to Mr. Knox, the father said he could do no-
thing with the girl, for although only fourteen years of age
she had ten times run away from home.

Mr, Knox asked the girl, who hung down her head, and
either cried or pretended to cry during the hearing of the
case, whether she wished to say anything. Without rais-
ing her head she said, "I wish Lay father would forgive
me."

A gentleman stepped forward and said the girl had lived
as servant with a medical friend of his, but while there
several articles had been missed, and a poor servant girl
robbed of 255.

Goddard, 302 A, said on taking the girl into custody on
Saturday night, and asking her what she had done with
the boots, she made no answer.

Mr. Knox said it was a sad case, and that he had no
doubt she had been associating with young prostitutes and
bad characters of her own age. He would remand her for
a weak.

Father Superior of the Oratory at Brompton.
Our impression of Saturday briefly announced the
death of the Rev. Frederic William Faber, D.D.,
Superior of the Oratory at Brompton, the most dis-
tinguished of the Anglican converts to the Catholic
faith after Dr. Newman. Dr. Faber had been ill
since May last, his disease being the terribly serious
malady known as Bright's Disease, and for a long
time his life has been despaired of. He died at five
minutes past seven on Saturday morning, after
receiving the last sacraments. 'Whatever may be the
general opinion as to the conduct of the Oratorians
in their self-imposed work of proselytism, no onv
can deny that Dr. Faber was one of the most ear-
nest, most gentle, and most loving of mankind
He was universally popular, and his death has
caused a more widely spread feeling of grief
ia Catholic circles than any other death in that
religious body could cause, Yesterday, after high
mass, the Rev. J. E. Bowden, one of the Fathers of
the Oratory, made a short address to the large con-
gregation there assembled. The rev. gentleman,whose
voice was at times broken byemotion, spoke in the most
eloquent and touching manner of the late superior.
"He might not need their prayers," said the preacher
but still they gave them. The golden words which
he had spoken from that pulpit made their hearts
burn within them, Had they profited by his teach-
ing ? Let them pray to his patrons, St. "Wilfrid, St.
Philip, and St. Raphael. A few spasmodic breath.
ings were the indications of his death. As he (the
preacher) knelt by his bedside he seemed to see the
realisation of the picture drawn by Dr. Faber of the
true Christian at the end of the 2d chapter of his
work, " All for Jesus," the passage beginning
" Only serve Jesus out of love," &c.
Frederic William Faber was born in 1814, end
WiriQ the knn of the SlMiPitnr of the Bishop of Dur-
ham, who was appointed judge or assessor of the
Bishop's Court for the Palatinate, and died more
than 20 years ago. His brothers are Col. Faber,
who is serving with his regiment in India; the
Rev. Francis Faber, 8.D., late fellow of Magdalen
College, Oxford, rector of Saunderton, near Prince's
Risborough ; and Mr. Henry Faber, a barrister, at
Stockton-on-Tees. His uncle was the celebrated
George Stanley Faber,B.D., the author of the works
on Prophecy. Frederic Faber was educated at Har-
row School, and was sent thence to University Col-
lege, Oxford, where he obtained a:sholarship. In 1836
he obtained the Newdigate prize for his English
poem, " The Knights of St. John ; " in the same
year he took a second class in _Literis llionaniori-
bus ; and in 1837 was elected to one of Dr. John-
son's theological scholarships. He was ordained
deacon by the Bishop of Ripon and priest by the
Bishop of Oxford. He retained his fellowship at
University College till 1843, when ho took the col-
lege living of Elton, Huntingdonshire, worth about
£450 a year.
Mr. Faber had early in his university career
adopted High Church opinions. In 1838 he pub-
lished a work called " The Ancient Things of the
Church of England," When travelling in 1842, he
had many conversations with Italian priests and
strangers about the rites, ceremonies, and doctrines
of their Church, and in publishing an account of
" Sights and Thoughts in Foreign Churches," de-
dicated to the poet Wordsworth, he took for a motto
the well-known refrain of the Shepherd's song in
the Campagna

" Roma! Roma! Roma!
Roma! none pia come era prima."
In his tracts on the Church and the Prayer-book
, (1840), Mr. Faber considered the Church to be a
safeguard against selfishness and worldly times ;
and did Freemasonry the honour of saying that
"when it was anything more than a club, it was
profane and against the Gospel"—a statement the
veracity of which was only to be equalled by
its sagacity. In 1838, Mr. Faber published a tract
on the duty of keeping to the principles of the Re-
formation, and spoke of the " Roman Catholics" as
" Roman dissenters." In the same year he wrote a
tract on the "Burial Service: Its doctrines and its
Consolation." Yet when he was on his foreign tra-
vels, his views must have been of an extremely Ro-
manised character, for we find him speaking of
Luther and Petrarch in the following terms;—
" Here the apostate monk
Came, ere his fall, and when he saw how nigh
Good lay to Evil, their baser spirits shrank
As from a touchstone."
It was probably about this period that Mr. Faber
wrote the enthusiastically religious verses which
were quaintly described as "Lives of the Saints
potted down into Sonnets."
Mr. Faber remained at Elton for rather more
than two years, during which time he restored his
church, got up a choir, and obtained a character for
ultra-High Churchism. His account of his seces-
sion is interesting. He said that he had long been
in doubt as to the orthodoxy of Anglicanism, and
his excuse for officiating then in an Anglican
church was that he had "only delivered old sermons
written and preached in 1837 and 1838 ! He had
visited less sedulously' in his parish, and he had
stated his doubts to persons who came to confess to
him. He had preached at Elton the coctrines
vulgarly called Roman, no doubt, but he was not
aware of it." The end of all this was not far distant.
Mr. Newman, Mr. Dalgairn, Mr. Capes, Mr. A.
Christie, Mr. Cottin, Mr. Morris, and other well-
known Anglicans, had been received into the Catho-
lio Church in 1845. On Sunday, November 16, Mr.
Faber preached a short sermon from Ruth, and in-
timated that it would be the last time he should
appear i❑ the pulpit of Elton Church. On the fol-
lowing day he was received into the Catholic Church
by Dr. Wareing, vicar apostolic of the northern dis-
trict, at St. Felix Chapel, Northampton. Mr. Faber
was accompanied in his secession by Mr. T. F.
Knox, 8.A., member of a noble Irish family, who
had, a year or two before, taken a distinguished
degree at Cambridge, and would in all proba-
bility have obtained a fellowship at Trinity. Be-
sides Mr. Knox, who was Mr. Faber's guest, the
rector of Elton took over to Rome a dozen of his
parishioners.
Having been received into the Roman Catholic
Church, Mr. Faber was for some time a resi-
dent of St. Wilfrid's, Staffordshire, where he
founded a confraternity. In 1849 he came to Lon-
don, and established the brotherhood of St. Philip
Neri in King William-street, Strand. He brought
with him six priests. In 1854 the Oratory was re-
moved to the splendid buildings adjoining Holy
Trinity Church, Brompton, where there are now no
fewer than 20 priests, besides lay members, novices,
&c. Here for 10 years Dr. Faber has worked with great
success, as far as regards proselytism, and the spa-
cious chapel of the Oratory is filled with a con-
tinually increasing number of worshippers. The
baptism of the captain of Westminster School, fre-
quently dealt with of late in the public columns of
the newspapers, need only here be alluded to.
Dr. Faber is well known as a writer, but it may
not generally be remembered that 25 years ego he
was considered one of the most graceful and charm-
ing of young poets. The " Cherwell Water Lily'
and other poems was a most popular book in the
early days of Oxford High Churchism. The
author's friendship with the poet Wordsworth may
account for his enthusiastic affection for the moun-
tain and lake scenery of Cumberland and Westmore-
land. His intense love for Oxford, his description of
Oxford in spring, and of St. Mary's by night, may
take high rank among the poetical triumphs of
the 19th century. One or two of the poems
are addressed to Lord John Manners, his fellow-
traveller and most intimate friend, to whose " soul's
hereditary gentleness," as well as to the " blaze and
splendour of his boyhood," the poet bears a warm
testimony. His " Rosary" and other poems he de-
dicated to Mr. 13eresford-Hope, who " out of a
humble mind, with cheerful augury, redeemed from
sacrilege the Abbey of St. Augustine, and held it
but in trust for the churel of better times." His
poems on Scio, Candid, Parnassus, Therapia, Snow-
don, Hevellyn, Rothsay, and others, show a great
rower of description and much poetical feeling. His
works of late years, since his secession, have deep- ,
sued the poetical element in his nature till it has
approached fiction. Few writings of modern times
are comparable to Dr. Faber's ; there is in them
such a wonderful combination of piety, credu-
lity, earnestness, and eloquence.
Amongst Father Faber's other works are his po.
