POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBERY AT A JEWELLERS.—Henry John Wright, a
boy in the employ of Mr. Charles Hayward, jeweller, 204,
Regent-street, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing
two rings, six gold watch hooks, and a pair of earrings,
altogether of the value of about £2O.
From the evidence of Mr. Hayward it appeared that on
Wednesday last he gave the prisoner a ring, of the value of
£2 55., to take to a workman named Wilkinson, residing at
Skinner-street, Clerkenwell, to be repaired, and also other
packets, containing a ring, watch hooks, and a pair of ear-
rings, to deliver at other places. The prisoner never
delivered the parcels, but absconded, and Mr. Hayward
then communicated with the police, and on the prisoner
being taken to Mr. Hayward on Saturday evening he said
that he had lost the things.
Sergeant Charles Cole, 23 C, who had been to Windsor
and Woolwich in search of the ptisoner, said that on re-
ceiving the prisoner into custody, he searched him, but did
not find anything on bim. At the station he told the in-
spector (Mr. Bowles) that he had pledged the articles at
different places, but he had told another person that he had
thrown the watch hooks away in the Underground Rail-
way, between Gower•street and Portland-road.

Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, who had only been in
Mr. Hayward's employ four months, and had no questions
to ask the witnesses, till Thursday next.

VIOLENT ATTACK ON A CONSTABLE BY THIEVES.—
George Llewellyn alias Leadbeater was charged before Mr.
Knox, with being concerned in a carriage robbery and vie-
lent attack on Chapple, a plain clothes officer of the E di-
vision.

Chapple, who has the remains of two very bad black eyes,
said a man (under remand) the prisoner, and two others
were standing in Great Portland-street. One of the men
took a shawl out of a brougham, and then threw it back
again and made off. Chapple pursued the man, who
attacked him in a most violent manner, and the prisoner
and the two others then came up and joined in the attack
on Chapple, who was grossly illused, the time of the affray
being four o'clock in the afternoon, and no one assisting
the constable, who, however, secured the man who took the
shawl.

Sergeant Franklin, 20 E, deposed to taking the .orisoner
into custody last night, when, without telling him the
charge, he said that he was " no worse than the others."

Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner to be brought up with
the other.

WESTMINSTER.

DISGRACEFUL AND UNPROVOKED ASSAULT.—John
O'Hara was charged with the following unprovoked
outrage :

Denis Sullivan, a very respectably-attired man, who
described himself as an attendant at the South Kensington
Museum, living at 28, Moore-street, said that between 12
and one this morning be was proceeding along Kensington
towards home, and when he got into Milner-terrace was
accosted by the defendant, who asked him if he had seen a
policeman. He replied he had not lately, but there
would soon be one round that way. Defendant
then walked along with him, and he said he
had been robbed by two or three persons in
Moore-street. Complainant not wishing, however, to be
followed by the defendant, who, he saw, was drunk, and
might create a disturbance in his (complainant's) street,
endeavoured to get away from him, but despite his exer-
tions, defendant persisted in running after him, called
"Police," and at length collared him, and tripping him up,
complainant fell and struck his forehead seriously on the
kerb stone. Defendant still held him after this and accused
him of robbing him. A policeman now came up, when
defendant repeated his statement, but the constable, know-
ing complainant and seeing the defendant was drunk,
refused to believe the latter's statement, and took him into
custody for assaulting complainant.
Robert M‘Kaye, 182 B, said he had previous to this
found the defendant drunk, and persuaded him to go home,
and when he came round his beat again, hearing a disturb-
ance, ho proceeded to the spot, and found the complainant
woundT h former e

bleeding ftewnedaoaspnidotrusustnrlyukg•frgolitaTngha.ey preferred their different com-
plaints, and ho took defendant into custody.
The accused said ho was drunk, and knew nothing what-
ever about the matter.

Mr. Arnold said it was really too bad that a respectable
man proceeding quietly home should be ill-treated in this
unwarrantable manner, and fined defendant 50s, or one
month's imprisonment.
He was locked up.

T HAME S.
THE QUARREL NOR A WATCH.—Susan Mitchell, a
woman of the town, was brought before Mr. Partridge, on
remand, charged with stealing a silver watch, the property
of Isaac William Ailidge, a corkcutter.
A few days since Police-sergeant Wood, No. 22, K, met
the prisoner and another woman in Ratcliff-highway.
They were quarrelling about a watch, and both claimed it,
and said it belonged to a sailor. The watch was in posses-
sion of the prisoner, and the sergeant took het into custody.
On reaching the station-house she said it was given to her
by a sailor. The ring of the watch was broken, and it was
quite evident that the watch had been forcibly taken from
its owner, and the swivel broken in doing so. Mr. Charles
Young, solicitor, who now appeared for the prosecution,
said the watch belonged to Mr. Ailidge, cork cutter, at No.
25, St. George-street, at the corner of Old Gravel-lane.
Mr. Ailidge said he was "on the drink " a few nights
ago, and lie got home somehow or other, and went to bed.
Ho soon fell asleep, and when he awoke he was on the flat
of his back, and the ring of. the Watch and the ribbon to
which it was fastened was in his hand. The ribbon
was
round hie neck. He had no idea how hie watch
was
stolen,
nor did he recollect being in the prisoner's company.
Mr. Partridge said the prisoner Was in the unlawful pos-
session of M. Ailidgo's watch, and sentenced her to be im-
prisoned and kept to hard labour for six weeks.

The Price of Gold,
The quotation of gold at rariS is about,} per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London 18 25.25 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appear that gold is
about 3-10 the per cent. dearer in London than Jn Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.61 per £1 sterling.
;,tandard gold at the English girt Price is, therefore, about
6-10ths per cent. dearer in Loudon than in Hamburg.

Durham, Sunday night.
STEAMER.—Seaton Carevirf
—Yesterday morning, reports the Rev. John Lawson, in a
gale from the S.S.E. and a heavy sea, the steam tug
Energy, of Middlesborough, struck on the bar at the mouth
of the River Tees. In the course of a quarter of en hour
she had entirley disappeared. -When the perilous position
of the vessel was observed, the Seaton Carew lifeboat,
longing to the National Lifeboat Institution, was at once
manned and launched to the assistance of her crew ; but
after remaining out above an hour, nothing could be seen
of the poor men, and the lifeboat reluctantly returned to the
shore. It afterwards appeared that the crew of the steamer
three iu number, had left the ship in their own boat, and
and had gone out to sea, and had been picked up by a
Russia vessel, They afterwards got on board another Mid-
dlesborough steamer in the bay, which in the course of
the evening brought them to the Tees in safety,

LITERATURE.

Our Old Home. By Nathaniel Hawthorne, author
of ti Transformation," " The Scarlet Letter," &e.

Two volumes. Smith and Elder.

Nathaniel Hawthorne has before now furnished
us with " Twice-told-Tales," many of.which were
worth twice telling. We cannot affirm the same of
the recollections he has now favoured us with, some
of which—not a few of which—had better have been
left unsaid. In his introductory confidences "to a
friend" Mr. Hawthorne tells us that he had at first
intended to write a larger work upon the same sub-
ject, "but." he adds, " the Present, the Immediate,
the Actual has proved too potent for me. It takes
away from me not only my scanty faculty, but even
ray desire for imaginative composition." He goes on
to say, however, " I shall easily fiad room for the
abortive work on a certain ideal shelf where are
reposited many other shadowy volumes of mine,
more in number, and very much supel for in quality,
to those which I have succeeded in rendering
actual." How many of Mr. Hawthorne's readers,
and how many of his admirers (for his quaint style
and shrewd observation have gained him, in this
country, many admirers) will, like ourselves, wish
for his own fame's sake that these two " actual"
volumes also reposed upon that same "shadowy" shelf!
lie himself acknowledges that some of his friends
have told him, that these sketch©s evince an asperity
of sentiment towards the English people which he
ought not to feei. He affects sßrprise at this asser-
tion, and claims an " hereditary sympathy" for the
English people; and yet, in the very next breath,
be exclaims, and the exclamation coming from a
Yankee almost takes aways our breath :—" These
people (the English) think so loftily of themselves,
and so contemptuously of everybody else, that it re-
quires more generosity than I possess to keep
always in perfectly good humour with thenz
Equally marvellous, in the utter unconsciousness of
its application nearer home, is another remark of
gr. Hawthorne's, which occurs in the second
volume
