POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SUICIDE IN A POLICE CELL.—On Mr. Knox taking his
seat on the bench this morning, Inspector Walker stated
that a man, who was charged at the Vine-street police-
station, yesterday committed suicide while in the cell.

It appears that yesterday afternoon the deceased, Charles
Dugard, a cab-driver, badge 963, was taken into custody
by police-constable Wood, 193 C, in Jermyn-street, being
at the time drunk, and wholly incapable of taking care of his
horse and cab. About 9 o'clock in the evening the deceased
was found to have tied a pocket-handkerchief round his
neck and secured it to the grating of the window. Mr.
Tothill, the division surgeon, was immediately sent for,
and used every effort to restore animation, but without
success. The deceased was in the employ of Mr. Mayhew,
the cab-proprietor.

AN IMPUDENT THlEF.—Louisa Harris, who gave an
address at Hackney, and is said to have been previously
convicted, was charged before Mr. Knox with the follow-
ing robbery.

Thomas Whittington, assistant to Mr. John Hooper,
linen-draper, 52, Oxford-street, said that in consequence of
an alarm being given yesterday afternoon he ran into one
of tho shops and stopped the prisoner, when she threw down
a roll of 50 yards of flannel, of the value of 50s. He then
took her back to the shop, when she became very impu-
dent. A constable was then sent for, and she was given
into custody.

Police-constable Thaxter, 176 E, said the prisoner on
tho way to the station said it was not the first thing she
had had. He believed she had been convicted for a similar
offence.

Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner.

Constance Sherwood. By Lady Georgiana Fullerton.
Three Vols. Bentley.
One of the most charming heroines yet intro-
duced to us by Lady Georgiana Fullerton is Con-
stance Sherwood, and the story which she relates to
us—another chapter from the romantic but disas-
trous annals of religious persecution—is full of in-
tense interest throughout. In her early girlhood
Constance becomes acquainted with one whose
friendship is the delight of her life, sweet mistress Ann
Dacre, the step-daughter of the Duke of Norfolk, and
afterwards the wife of the Earl of Arundel and Surrey.
Lady Arundel divides with Constance the interest
and admiration of the reader. Her character,
whether as seen in the occasional glimpses which
history reveals to us, or in the more fully developed
but evidently most truthfal portraiture of Lady
Georgiana, is singularly attractive and exquisitely
natural. Adorned with all the virtues of her sex,
and yielding to some of its weaknesses also, Ann
Dacre is one whom a novel writer might readily
select for a heroine, and as her story is narrated by
the lips of her tender and worthy friend Constance
it loses nothing in interest or adherence to truth. The
friends are separated for some time after the mar-
riage of the young countess, sho is compelled for a
while to share the gaieties of the court. Very
grievous is it to Constance ihen she again meets
her early companion and discovers that both Lady
Arundel and her husband, Ike so many of the
other courtiers, have conformed to the reformed
religion. But the early faith of the young countess
soon re-asserts its influence, and very charming and
very natural is her letter to Constance, in which she
reveals her dread of confldirg the change to her
husband. Thereupon, it is, she narrates how,
on his return from London, he walks with her in
the garden, and tells her that his sister has returned
to the old religion, and hailing the opportunity, she,
clinging to him, timidly whispers, "So has N an"—
the tender abbreviation of, her name. Though fully
aware of the danger of the step, the young earl
makes no objection, and soon after follows the
example of his wife. The trials and sufferings which
this declaration of faith brought upon the pair are
matter of history, or indeed they might be deemed
impossible, and yet, perhaps, for their very im-
probability, they should to classed with those
things which Lady Georgiana Fullerton has
styled " too strange not to be true." We
will dwell no further upol this portion of the
tale, except to say that tilt authoress has done
full justice to the interest d her theme, and has
recorded these trials, and th: fortitude with which
they were borne, with ex[Luisite simplicity and
tenderness. The individui story of Constance
Sherwood, the ostensible heroine of the work, we
shall not betray. Constance herself is not among
the waverers. She is most true throughout
to her early belief, and faithful to her
earliest affections. When one of the courtier states-
men of the Queen endeavcars to persuade her to
yield to the views of policy and ambition, she boldly
tells him that, wise and learned and astute as he
may be, there are two thin! beyond his powers of
appreciation—" the heart of a woman and the faith
of a Catholic." Like her heroine, the fair authoress
reveals in every page how eminently she is herself
endowed with these possessions, and among the
readers who differ from her belief there will be
found none to quarrel with ler as a controversialist,
or to charge her with any want of Christian charity.
The authoress of " Lady-bird," and " Grantley
Manor," and " Ellen Middleton," may be fairly
congratulated on the success of " Constance Sher-
wood."

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Our market to-day was but moderately supplied with
beasts, chiefly in middling condition. Prime breeds moved
off steadily, at full quotations. Otherwise, the trade was
heavy, at late rates. Ths top figure was ss. 4d. per 81bs.
Sheep, the show of which was rather limited, changed
hands freely, at extreme rates. Downs and half breds
realised 6s. 4d. to 6s. Bd. per 81bs. The quality of most
breeds was good. We were fairly supplied with calves,
which sold steadily, at very full prices— viz., from 4s. to
ss. Gd. per 81bs. Very few English calves were on offer.
High prices were again demanded for pigs, but the sale
for them was inactive. In much .cows very little was
doing. _ . .
