POLICE INTELLIGENCE - This Day.

BOW STREET.

CHARGE OF ROBBERY AGAINST AN ACCOUNTANT.-

A. gentlemanly-dressed man, named Saunders, of Wood
Green, Middlesex, accountant, W•qi placed at the bar before
Mr. C,rrie, charged with stealing a cheque for £2OO, the
property of his emp!oyers, the Real and Personal Loan and
Discount Company, Tavistock-street, Covent-garden.
Mr. Digby, solicitor to the company, appeared for the
prosecution.
It appeared that the prisoner absconded about the
middle of last month, when considerable defalcations
were discovered. A warrant for prisoner's apprehen-
sion was at once applied for and granted, and until
last evening he managed to elude the constable
who held the warrant when he was captured at the corner
of Store and Guwer-street, where the prisoner, though a
married man, was keeping an appointment with a female
He first denied his name was Sanders, but Shore, the con-
stable, however, told him he was sure he was
the person, as he was acquainted with him while
he was engaged at the office, upon which he admitted he
was the man. Shore then told him he held a warrant for
his apprehension on a charge of stealing a cheque for £2OO.
Prisoner replied, "I know you have. I knew it days ego."
He then took him to the station•house, and information
was given to the society of the capture of the prisoner.
Mr. Digby said at present he had only to apply for a
remand, as there were a number of other cases against the
prisoner which would bring up the amount of his defalca-
tions to over £l,OOO,

Mr. Corrie at once remanded the prisoner for a week.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

USING A KNUCKLE-DUSTER.—ROBBERT WITH VIO-
LENCE.—Joseph Williams was charged before Mr. Knox
with being concerned with others not in custody in violently
assaulting and robbing Mr. Vincent Malandi, hotel-keeper,
of 29, Church-street, Soho, of his watch in Dean-street,
Soho.

The prosecutor, Mr. Melandi, an Italian, in answer to
questions put to him by Mr. Knox, said that about a guar •
ter to one that morning he was standing at the
corner of
Dan .street, Soho, with some friends, when the prisoner
and some of his companions came up and insulted them,
and then surrounded him. He was then pulled to the
ground, and while down, struck in the eye by one of the
men who had an instrument in his hand (a knuckle-duster).
His watch was then taken from him by force, the chain be-
ing broken in two, one part of it being taken with the
watch and the other part left behind. On a constable
appearing, the prisoner's companions made off, but the pri-
soner was secured by the constable and one of his (prose-
cutor's) friends,
Mr. linos asked if the knuckle-duster had been found,
and was informed that it had been.

A friend of Mr. Melandi's spoke to the violent attack
made on Mr. Melandi, and said that he was also knocked
down violently.

A constable said that, seeing the prisoner running, and
hearing a cry of " Stop thief," he s topped him, the last
witness following him at the time. The prisoner gave a
false address.

Prophecies for the Great Northern Handicap.

The following are the " tips" of the various writers in
the weekly sporting journals :

OBSERVER—FieId.
Fantail ran so well this week that she strikes me to be
the only one capable of sticking to Carbineer, and between
them the race, I conceive, will rest, any bias I may have
being in favour of Lord Zetland's horse.
AFunlay Times.
The winner will emanate from the following :—Carbineer,
the Physalis colt, Fantail, Manfred, and Venison. At the
time we write Lord Zetland's horse has an unhealthy ap-
pearance in the market, and we must reluctantly discard
him, and rely upon the following, in the order named :
Fantail, 1; Physalis colt, 2; Manfred, 3.
BEACON—porting gazette.
I must look to the Physalis colt, Double X, and Fan-
tail to furnish the winner, giving the preference to the
latter.

FLY-BY -NIGHT— Weekly Times.
The weights of Adventurer and Haddington are each
raised 141 b, in both the Great Northern and Flying Dutch-
man's Handicap, which entirely eclipses their chance, and
leaves the longer race (two miles) at the disposal of Car-
bineer, the Gameboy colt, and Fantail, and, looking at the
style in which the mare disposed of Villafranca and another
for the Coffee Room Stakes, value 300 sous, yesterday, I
should really consider her deserving of primary attention,
should the right division support her.

Bell;-
Life.
We must look to Fantail, who won in such an exercise
canter this week, to tackle Carbineer or Piccador; and if
there is a better in the race than this pair, we own our in-
genuity to be at fault in discovering him.
AUGUR—Sporting Lye.
Knowing the commission has been executed in favour
of Fantail since her success this week at Newmarket, I
shall at once give my confidence to Fantail or Piccador as
the winner of the Great Northern Handicap.
TOUCHSTONE—Era.
Lord Zetland's colours are the most likely to greet the
Judge first, Piccador having the best of the weights with
all the three-yr-olds ; and if Carbineer is superior to him
it must be a real good thing for the " spots."
Illustrated Sporting News.
To Fantail and East Lancashire we must look for the
winner, but if one of the elder horses should do the
" trick," then we shall look to Carbineer.

RUSSIAN ATROCITIES.

A communication from Cracow of the 20th in the
Debals says :
" The insurrection is spreading among the higher
classes of the nation. The large proprietors solicited
by the Russian Government to lend it their co-
operation, and on the other hand urged by the chiefs
of the insurrection to unite with them, had up to the
present time maintained a certain neutrality. A
great number of those proprietors, with their
families, retired either to Warsaw or abroad, but
the odious measures of recruitment have since driven
them to the side of the insurgents. After the burn-
ing of the chateau of Count Zamoyski came the
complete devastation of the chateau and the public
establishments which C mint Przedziechi had founded
at Ojcow, a bathing place in one of the most delight-
ful valleys of the country. What has just taken
place at Moyslanoi, in the Government of Lublin,
fills up the cup of general indignation. That domain
belongs to Count Poletylo, one of the richest land-
owners in the country, and who, before the adoption
of the recruitment measure, even passed for being
one of the partisans of the Marquis Wielopolski.
At the most unexpected moment a Russian column
surrounded the chateau of Count Poletylo, who was
at table with his family and some friends. Not a
single insurgent was there. Without any prelimi-
nary summons the commandant of the Russian troops
opened a fire on the peaceable inhabitants of the
chateau. M. Moyciechnoski, brother-in-law of the
Count, and his son were killed, as well as several of
the servants of the house. An old man, Major
Kuim, was wounded. The Russian soldiers after-
wards entered the chateau, Ns hick they completely
pillaged and sacked."

THE WAR IN AMERICA.

Lord REDESDALE said he wished to know whether
he understood the noble earl the Secretary for Foreign
Affairs to say that the United States Government had re-
quested the B Kish Government to authorise the British
Consul to open the sealed mail bags from this country to see
if amongst the letters there was anything baring upon the
question'at issue between the North and South, in order
that it Might be conveyed to the American Government.
Earl RUSSELL, who spoke in a very low tone of voice,
wi:s understood to say that such a demand had been made.
The Ead of DERBY was surprised that a demand had
been made that the sealed correspondence of a mail packet
should be opened by the British Consul in the presence of
an officer.of the United States, in order that thel,tter might
ascertain whether there was evdence enough to justify I im
in taking the vessel into a prize court for condemnation.
He should like to know witctltr that demand had been
denied or ecquiseced in.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE thought the question
of such a severe nature that the noble earl would well con-
sider it and answer it on Monday next. He should like to
know upon what ground any British Consul had the power
t ) open any letters. He did not think he had the slightest
right to do such an act. He hoped the noble earl would
take the opinion of the law officers of the Crown in the
question.
Lord CII :LMSFORD wished to know whether any in-
formation had been rceeived relative to accounts he had
seen in the evening papers—viz., that four more English
vessels had been seized ?

Earl 13,USSELL said h 5 had not received any official
information on the sulj-ct, but what was certain was,
that for many months English scssela had run
the blockade, and othcr3 had attempted to do
so without success. Some: of those had been captured, and
more than likely the information referred to some of those
ship%

The Margais of CLANRICAEtDB addressed another
question to the noble earl, in a very indistinct manner.
E irl RUSSELL said he had given a copy of Mr. Seward's
let t-r to Parliament, and ha would take the opportunity of
asking the law officers of the Crown to look into the law of
nations on this point.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGII asked how the British
consul was to discover a letter containing anything of a
treasonable nature. Was ho to open it, or judge from
supervision? _

The Earl of lIARDWICKE thought that the ploposi•
tion was nothing more than that a British consul should be
made use of to attack British subjects.

Lord TAUNTON commended this prudence of the Go-
vernment. War was a very serious thing, and he hoped
that England would not allow herself to be entangled in it.
The Earl of MALMESBURY wished to know whether
the Government had admitted or repudiated the demand ?
Earl RUSSELL said the Government had expressed an
opinion, but had (as we understood the noble earl) issued
a modified order. Until he had obtained the opinion of
the law officers of the Crown upon the questions he should
place before them, he should reserve his reply.
The subject then dropped.

THE GREEK THRONE.

PARIS, APRIL 25.

The Courrier du Dimanehe of to-day says :—" It
is said that the Cabinets of London, Paris, and St.
Petersburg will take steps to invite the Cabinet of
Munich to revoke its protest against the occupation
of the Greek throne by any Prince not belonging to
the Bavarian dynasty, and to surrender the Bava-
rian dynastic rights to the throne in question.
Should the Bavarian Government refuse to do this,
the Powers will pass over their protest, and recog-
nise the election of Prince William of Denmark.

SPAIN.

MADRID, APRIL 24, Evening.

In to•day's sitting of Congress Senor Casaro,
member of the committee on the public debt, in
reply to a question put by the Marquis of San
Carlos respecting the redeemable debt, declared
that the Committee was actively prosecuting its
labours on this question in order to prepare for the
debate in Congress.
Senor Casaro further expressed a hope that the
Ministry would come to a speedy resolution on the
subject.

THE CASE OF JESSIE MACLAUCIILAN.

Mr. STIRLING rose to move for copies of the prccEed •
ings at this trial, and of the subsequent proceedings before
Mr. Young- which led to the commutatien of the sentence.
Ho stated the circumstances of the case, which are well
known ; the result being that after the trial and conviction,
it having been thought that some suspicon of the murder
attached to Fleming-, petitions were sent to the Home Secre-
tary, who ordered an inquiry to be made, ex-officially and
in private, into the matter. He urged that the Home Secre-
tary had no right, in the exercise of his prerogative, to re-
view and revise a sentence in a capital case, and that by
means of an irresponsible and private tribunal, collecting
and acting upon evidence in its own discretion. He wished
to know what share the Lord Advocate had in the trans-
action, as he thought, as public prosecutor in Scotland, that
functionary ought not to have any share in the exercise of
the prerogative of mercy. He complained of the treatment
to which Fleming had been subjected by its being implied
that he was guilty, owing to the course which had been
taken by the Home-office.
Sir G. GREY could not accept the doctrine that the
Home Secretary was bound to accept as final every verdict
and to refuse to inquire into facts which might have arisen
calculated to impeach verdicts; on the contrary, he was
bound to take that very course; and in the case in ques-
tion it was plainly his duty to do so. On the evidence at
the trial of Maclachlan the jury could not have found any
other verdict than that which they brought in; but the
statement of the prisoner taken down five or six weeks be -
fore the trial, and not inconsistent with the evidence then
given, produced a profound impression on the public mind
that justice had not been done, and that, admitting her par-
ticipation in the crime, suspicion attached to others. Being
of opinion that a further inquiry was necessary, he left the
m, de of conducting it to the discretion of the Lord Advo-
cate, who took the best means in his power to test the truth
of the prisoner's statement, and in the result he came to the
conclusion that the capital sentence should not be carried
out, but that, as a participator in the crime, the prisoner
should be subjected to other punishment. As by Scotch law
Fleming, having been a witness in the case, could not be
tried afterwards, he had no other course to take than that
which he had adopted consistently with his sense of duty.
In answer to Mr. DENMAN,
The LORD ADVOCATE said that according to the
law of Scotland a person having given evidence on a criminal
trial, could not be tried for the offence in question.
Some discussion followed, and Sir G. GB.EY said he would
consider whether he world give the papers asked, and the
subject dropped.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mine
the short exchange on London is 25.224 per £1 sterling.m On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
'75. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
n • fitly 2-10ths i,er cent. des, er in London than in Paris.
advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 sterling.
,tandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
6-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 1664 to 1674 per cent., and the premium on
gold is about 62 per cent. At these rates there is a profit
on the importation of gold from the United States.

SYMPATHY WITH POLAND.

Last night a public meeting was held of the in-
habitants of the parishes of St. Andrew, Holborn,
and of St. George-the-Martyr, Middlesex, and the
following resolutions were agreed to :
" That the Poles, after having long exhibited, under cir-
cumstances of the most cruel provocation, a calm and dig-
nified demeanour in the firm but peaceable vindication of
their rights, which entitled them to the respect and admi-
ration of all civilised nations,' have been forced into their
present insurrection by acts of continued and intolerable
oppression and insult on the part of Russia, and by the ab-
solute necessity of taking up arms in self-defence, in order
to preserve their national existence."

" That for the last century it has been the constant aim
of the Russian Government to denationalise the people of
Poland and to efface the remembrance of her former great-
ness and freedom, and this nefarious policy has been pur-
sued by means of constant confiscations, exiles, and mas-
sacres, wholly without a parallel in the history of any other
ccuntry ; and the anarchy which f his system has naturally
produced in Poland is dangerous as well as disgraceful to
the civilized States of Europe and an insult to the majesty
of international law, on a gross violation of which the
dominion of Russia in Poland was founded."
" That in the interests of humanity it is the duty as well
as the right of the European Powers, by their united re-
monstrances with the Government of Russia, or, if need be,
by their joint intervention, to put an end at once to a state
of things so dangerous and disgraceful ; and although this
meeting is convinced that if a firm resolve were expressed
by France and England to place Poland in a position of
independence, the enfeebled Government of Russia would
yield to their wishes without a strut gle, it is still more
convinced that if, contrary to its expectation, this more
peaceful policy should fail, and hostile measures should
become necessary, the sacrifices which such measures might
entail would be borne with cheerfulness by the whole of
the English people."
It was also agreed that petirons founded on the resolu-
tions should be presented to her Majesty, and also to both
Houses of Parliament.

THE METROPOLITAN AND CITY POLICE.
The LORD MAYOR gave notice of his intention to
move for a return of the number and description of
troops employed in the route of tho procession
from the Ericklayers' Arms to Paddington, on the
7th of March last, specifying the number in the three por-
tions of the route; also copies of all the correspondence be-
tween Sir Richard Mayne and the War Office on the sub-
ject of employing troops.
Col. FRENCH also gave notice that on Monday he

ment whether, as the bill he bad introduced for the amalga-

Lord A. CHURCHILL aske3 the Solicitor General
w hether merchant ships in the prosecution of a-voyage be-

selves from capture by force of arms, and cited the case of

Prophecies tor the Great Northern Handicap.

The following are the " tips" of the various writers in
the weekly sporting journals :

OBSERVER—FieId.
Fantail ran so well this week that she strikes me to be
the only one capable of sticking to Carbineer, and between
them the race, I conceive, will rest, any bias I may have
being in favour of Lord Zetland's horse.

•Sunlay Times,
The winner will emanate from the following :—Carbineer,
the Physalis colt, Fantail, Manfred, and Venison. At the
time we write Lord Z2tland's horse has an unhealthy ap-
pearance in the market, and we must reluctantly discard
him, and rely upon the following, in the order named :
Fantail, 1; Physalis colt, 2; Manfred, 3.
BEACON—,`porting Gazette.
I must look to the Physalis colt, Double X, and Fan-
tail to furnish the winner, giving the preference to the
latter.

FLY-By •NDa HT— IV eekly Times.
The weights of Adventurer and Haddington are each
raised 141 b, in both the Great Northern and Flying Dutch.
man's Handicap, which entirely eclipses their chance, and
leaves the longer race (two miles) at the disposal of Car-
bineer, the Gameboy colt, and Fantail, and, looking at the
style in which the mare disposed of Villafranca and another
for the Coffee Room Stakes, value 300 soya, yesterday, I
should really consider her deserving of primary attention,
should the right division support her.

Bells Life.
We must look to Fantail, who won in such an exercise
canter this week, to tackle Carbineer or Piccador; and if
there is a better in the race than this pair, we own our in-
genuity to be at fault in discoveling him.
AUGUR—Sporting Idle.
Knowing the commission has been executed in favour
of Fantail since her success this week at Newmarket, I
shalt at once give my confidence to Fantail or Piccador as
the winner of the Great Northern Handicap.

TOUCHSTONE—Era•
Lord Zetland's colours ►,re the most likely to greet the
Judge first, Piccador having the best of the weights with
all the three•vr-olds: and if P.-1.4+0,,r aunerioe to
it must be a real goad thing for the "spots."
Illustrated Sporting News.
To Fantail and East Lancashire we must look for the
winner, but if one of the elder horses should do the
" trick," then we shall look to Carbineer.

For the time of year, 'hese markets are extensively sup-

WOOL.
We have to report a slight increase in business in do-
mestic wools, but without leading to any improvement in
the quotations. Greasy Cape wool, al:. and under 9d. per
lb., commands a fair Bale on American account; but the

better, colonial qualities _continue neglected. The present
arrivals from the colonies amount to 8.023 bales from
Sydney; 32,557 Port Philip; 1,100 Van Diemen's Land
15,971 Adelaide; 74 New Zealand; and 5,694 Cape—total,
63,719 bales. It is estimated that there will be 100,000
bales in the market at the commencement of the May sales.
The clip in this country continues to be favourably spoken
of.

NEW SOUTH WALES.

There is no political news from Sydney, as the
Parliament, was not sitting. The Sydney Herald
says:—

Parliament not being in session, there is little to engage
the attention of the public on political matters. Most of the
questions that were till lately the subject of popular agita-
tion have been settled by legislation ; and although doubts
exist as to the roundness of the measures which were
avowedly passed in deference to popular clamour, the dis-
continuance of the perpetual excitement which those ques-
tions produced is a very happy consummation.
The Intercolonial Conference on the tariff question is to
take plmce te, Melbourne towarde the end of next month.
The Colonial Seoretfuy is about to vi.dt Queensland to pro-
p-)se terms for the settlement of the bord, r custom 3 dif-
ficulty. Mr. HosVns, 'Nlr. BaclL:n;:rt, and Mr. Lewis, late

.

SUPPLY.

On the motion for going into committee of supply,
Mr. PEEL explained that the votes, class 1., were deli-
vered on Thursday.
as the pAa.rtSicMullaTrenhoapdpboeseend proceeding with votes in class 1.,
too short a time in the hands of
hon. members to enable them to master the details. The
estimates were far too hastily proceeded into. These esti-
eapie wr fromaa tri dons

rgemoo augmented nsi upwards
these votes be referred to a select committee.
Sir J. TRELAWNY seconded the motion, and com-
plained that the rapid way in which these votes were taken
took the house by surprise.
Mr. PEEL said the delay in supplying the estimates
arose from the anxiety of the Government that they should
be strictly correct. There might be some diversity in the
votes, but substantially the aggregate amount was the
same as last year.
Mr. 'WILLIAMS complained that the estimates were
rendered in a way that nobody could understand. The
other night £6,500,000 was voted with unusual and unne-
cessary haste.
Lord J. MANNERS suggested that No. 1 vote should
be postponed.
