POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE BARROW NUISANCE IN COVENTRY-STREET.—
John Parkinson, a costermouger living in Newton street,
Et!born, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being
drunk, causing an obstruction with his barrow, a verplarge
one, in Coventry-street, and also with assaulting police-
constables Macdonald, 322 A, and William Duff, 138 C.
It may be stat d that the inhabitants complain loudly of
the nuisance caused by men with fruit barrows creeping
slowly along the street, some of the barrows being of a very

large size.
Macdonald said that at a quarter past 5 in the previous
afternoon he saw the prisoner's barrow outside a public-
house in Coventry-street,the prisoner being inside the house.
He told the prisoner to move his barrow away, and he
moved it a few yards, and then went into the house again.
He told the prisoner a second time that if he did not take
the barrow away he should take him to the station, upon
which the prisoner said, "I'll give you something," and
immediately struck him, and they both fell together. The
prisoner then behaved with great violence, and another
coming to his assistance the prisoner struck him also, and
it req zired six c f them to get him to the sta ion.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the constable said the pri-
soner was not sober, and that the barrow contained fruit.
Duff, 128 C, deposed to going to the assistance of Mac-
donald, and being struck twice by the prisoner, who was
very ♦iolent.

Prisoner—Look at my clothes (at the same time half-
undressing himself.)

Mr. Tyrwhitt said if a drunken man was violent and had
weak clothes he must expect to get them torn.
Prisoner—All I have got to say to your worthy worship
is that I get my living honestly.

A. person gave the prisoner a good character for honesty,
and said he was a very hard working man.
Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner 2s. 6d. or seven days.
Prisoner—Well, I've only got coppers, y}ur worthy
worship : will you take them ?

The prisoner, who, though having bad a good character
given him, is evidently from his conduit in court a very
troublesome fellow, was then removed.
COMMITTAL POR ROBBING FURNISHED LODGINGS.—
John Salmon and Rose Cochrane, the former of whom, it
is stated, has deserted his wife and child, and left them
chargeable upon the parish of Stroke-upon-Trent; and the
latter to have left her husband, after robbing her father, a
shipowner, to live with the male prisoner, her real name
being either Davis or Davidson, were charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt with stealing sheets and other articles from their
ready furnished lodgings at the house of Mrs. Christiana
Denny, 59, High-street, Bloomsbury, were brought up for
final examination.

Mr. Knight, from the office of Mr. Thomas Beard, pro.
secuted.

Police constable John Head, 89 E, proved taking the pri-
soner into custody, and finding on the female several dupli-
cates relating to the stolen property, which was identified
by the prosecutrix's daughter.
The female prisoner said the man knew nothing about
the things, and had not had any of the money, and the male
prisoner said that he was not guilty.
Mr. Tyrwhitt committed them both for trial,

attendance, finished the race home, Lord Strathmore's filly
who appeared full of running, winning very easily by a
length. A bad third, close up with whom were Kingswood
and Despair,

THE FALL OF VICKSBURG,

The reduction of Vicksburg is a consummation to
which the enemy have addressed exertions bat
little, if L ny, less than those they have put forth
for the capture of Richmond. They have regarded
that city as the key to the commercial use of the
Mississippi, and by the full command of the river
they expect so completely to isolate the great trans-
Mississippi country as to render its subjugation
easy and its return to the Union certain. It is now
to be tested to what extent these expectations have
been well founded. In regard to the first, the com-
mercial use of the river—which has been the object
for which the great States of the North-West have
been putting forth such tremendous efforts—we do
not see bow it is possible for them to enjoy it.
For a distance of at least 2,000 miles the Missis-
sippi flows through a country hostile to the Yankee
rase and Government. Anywhere along the whole
distance steamboats would be in reach of cannot—
generally in reach of the rifle—from either shore.
It is not possible for the enemy to maintain such a
guard of the river as to prevent batteries of flying
artillery from either shore, and sharpshooters, at
all advantageous points, playing upon the vulner-
able vessels with fatal effect, and picking off pilots
and officers whenever they venture to show them-
selves. Commerce is not quite venturesome
enough to run such a gauntlet as that. The people
of the North-West will find their hopes deceived.
They will discover that the promises of Lincoln
have be. n fallacious, and that their great ex•
penditure of life and means has been all in vain.
And in this disappointment will come a reaction,
under the sobering influence of which they may be
able to discover that peace is the only policy by
which they can win back what they so madly threw
aszsv. As to the second calculation—that by
bisecting :.he Confederacy, and cutting off the coun-
try west of t;;9 Mississippi from communication
with the east, they is:,ay easily overrun it—there is
as little or less reason for it,: indulgence. The enemy
have, in fact, already held, for' some months now,
military possession of the entire river, except the
half-dozen miles covered by the batteries' at Vicks-
burg and Port Hudson. Communication is? r the
passage of troops, ammunition, and supplies tr:'
tween the two sides has been completely cut off.
The Confederacy has between, in a military sense,
cut in twain. Yet there has been no abatement,
but an increase rather in military operations on the
other side. The fact is, the keeping open of the
communication was more important to us than
to them, for while they drew from us only
arms and ammunition, we drew from them men
and supplies. They will now keep the latter
at home, and may readily obtain the former
from or through Mexico. They have cotton
enough to pay for all the purchases they may require.
It will only be necessary to change their base from
the Mississippi to the Rio Grande to place them in
as good a condition for defensive war as any people
ever were. They have a territory too extensive to
be overrun, supplies too abundant to be exhausted,
a population too brave to be subdued, and generals,
with one notable exception (the highest in com-
mand) too skilful, vigilant, and energetic to be out-
generaled. There is nothing, then, to fear fordthaes
trans• Mississippi. What is most to be fear.e
the immediate result of the fall of Vicksburg is h
ts organise-
stationary into a moving force. From
the work of
conversion of the great army under G.rant frona a
tion, almost, it has been confined ttoa
the Govern-
where. This is the evil against whe
most energetic
taking that city. It is now freehich
ment is now called to make t
imagine in what

preparation. It is not
to estimate the effect

side. This is the
no corresponding accet
most serious grounds for

We can only pray that.
