POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBERY AT MESSRS. CROSSE AND BLACKWELL'S.—Two
boys named Edward Clifton and Patrick Allen were
charged before Mr. Knox with stealing several pots of jam,
jelly, marmalade, &c., of the value of 305., the property of
Mr. Thomas Francis Blackwell and others, Italian ware-
housemen, &c., of Soho-square.
Henry Dawson, 301 A, said that on the previous even-
ing, when in Sutton-street, Soho, he saw two lads in
Messrs. Crosse and Blackwell's employ come out and
give the prisoners a hamper. The prisoners then walked
away, Allen carrying the hamper. On getting near St.
Giles's Church he asked Allen what was in the hamper, and
he said he did not know, but that a boy had asked him to
carry it for him. He then, with the assistance of Webb,
112 C, took the prisoners into custody.
Webb, 112 C, proved going to No. 28, Dudley-street,
where Clifton was living with his father, and finding a
large basket belonging to Messrs. Foster, bottled ale mer-
chants, of Brook-street, Bond-street.
Mr. Bell, from Messrs. Crosse and Blackwell's, identified
the articles produced as the property of the firm, and said
that they were not goods taken out of the stock, but some
which had been returned by customers.
Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners.

A CHARACTER OF THE STREETS Of LONDON-Cathe-
rine Brown, a professional beggar, with a child about 18
months old in her arms, was charged before Mr. Knox
with begging.
Moorcroft, 165 E, deposed that about half-past 11 the
previous night he saw the prisoner standing at the door of
the Princess's Theatre with a child in her arms begging.
As he had cautioned her several times before, she being at
the door of the theatre nearly every night with the child,
he took her into custody.
Mr. Knox said it was a cruel thing to take a child out at
such an hour of the night. He should commit the prisoner
for a month, and the child would be either sent home or
taken to the workhouse.

The constable said the child was only. borrowed by the
prisoner for begging purposes, and the mother was in
court.

Mr. Knox ordered the mother to stand forward, and told
her that she was a disgraceful woman, and that if the child
was caught out again employed for such a purpose he
would send her (the mother) to prison for a month.

THAMES.

THE HOUSELESS POOR.--Sidney Morgan, a half-famished -
looking creature, aged 19, and very thinly clad, who was
described as a labourer with no home, was brought before
Mr. Partridge, charged with disorderly conduct, and
violently ringing the bell at the door of the Mile-end Town
workhouse without lawful excuse.
Thomas Moffatt, the porter at the Mile-end workhouse,
said the prisoner applied for admission as a casual pauper,
at one o'clock this morning, and he was informed that he
was too late. The prisoner then pummelled at the door
and violently rung the bell, for which he was given into
custody.
Mr. Partridge thought the prisoner ought to have been
admitted in the casual ward as one of the houseless poor
for whose especial protection, in the winter season, wards
were fitted up in the metropolitan workhouses.

Moffatt said that the hours for admission of casual
paupers were half-past 7in the summer and Bin the winter,
but he often relaxed the rule, and admitted very bad cases
till 11 o'clock. He admitted four persons, including a poor
woman and her child, after the prisoner was given into
custody. _ _

Mr. Partridge thought the porter ought to have admitted
the prisoner.
Moffatt said that Mr. Paget decided that all the rules and
regulations for the admission of casual paupers remained in
full force, and that there was no alteration in the law re-
stricting them. The only alteration was as to payment of
expenses of supporting the houseless poor.
Mr. Partridge said that poverty presented itself in so
many shapes that it was difficult to frame rules and regu-
lations which were to be, like the laws of the Medes and
Persians, unalterable and irrevocable. He did not think
the Poor Law Board would sanction the rejection of poor
creatures from the casual wards in such inclement weather
as this. _

Moffatt said that, notwithstanding the regulations, he
admitted poor persons until he went to bed, which was
generally at eleven o'clock at, night.
Mr. Partridge—ls there no one sitting up all night?
Moffatt—Yes, sir, the watchman.
Mr. Partridge—He could have admitted the prisoner. It
was a cold, damp, foggy night. I think you have acted
improperly in refusing admittance to the prisoner. He is
discharged.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TA T TERSATAT4'S.—THURSDAY.
A few of the subscribers dropped into the room to-day,
but, as the result of the afternoon's transactions will show
the betting was merely nominal. The death of Mr. Chas.
Greville was one of the principal topics of conversation, all
being unanimous in the deck:ration that his place is not
likely to be filled in the coup cils of the Jockey Club—at
least in this generation. The ;subjoined quotations will, as
far as they go, sufficiently denote the tone of the market :

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2 per millei pm., and
about 2-lithe
the short exchange on London is 25.17 i per £1 sterling. On
it appears that gold is

By advic: a from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mai k

Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, at
00-t the same price in London and Hamburg.

TILE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOTER RAILWAY COMPANY,

The Town-clerk read a letterfrom this company, in which
they stated that they had purchased all the property lying
between Snow-hill and West-street, and were about to com-
mence operations there with the view of extending their
city progress, and completing their last section in the direc-
tion of Smithfield-market. They now sought for the ne-
cessary authority from the corporation to go on with the
remainder of the work.

The letter was referred to the Markets and Improvement
Committees.

THE CITY RAILWAY SCHEMES.

Mr. CoaßrE, the City Remembrancer, read a list of the
various railway schemes which would' be submitted during
the approaching Session of Parliament, and which would
more or less affect the streetsand house property of the city.
Mr. Deputy Lorr moved that this list be referred to the
Law and Parliamentary Committee, with a request that
they would particularly direct their attention to those of
the schemes which would materially affect the city. He
had reason to believe,, from having served upon a similar
committee, that some of them would interfere with no fewer
than 150 of the city streets.
The motion was carried, but the reference was made not
only to the Law and Parliamentary Committee, but to a
variety of other. committees.

THE METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

Mr. Alderman COPELAND, M.P., said he had every reason
to believe that a commission would be appointed by Par-
liament next month to inquire into the constitution and
working of the Metropolitan Works, and that one of tho
first witnesses examined before it would be the City Archi-
tect and Surveyor.
The Court then elected Mr. Bailey to the office of prin-

FIRE AT THE COAL EXCHANGE.

Mr. Deputy BoNE said that no doubt the members would
be anxious to know something of the fire which had taken
place the night before at the Coal Exchange. (Hear, hear.)
He happened to be there at the time it broke out, and he
remained until it was extinguished. A report had been
made by Mr. J. R. Scott, the clerk and registrar, to the
effect that the fire had originated in a sleeping room at the
top of the Exchange, in the occupation of a Mrs. Gardner,
who kept the refreshment department in the building, but
that how it was occasioned could not be ascertained. There
was destruction caused to one large room, serious damage
to two others, damage also to the ceilings of three offices,
and to the committee room, and a portion of the glass roof
was also damaged. The estimate of the damage was that
it would not exceed £550, and the building was insured to
the extent of £20,000. (Hear, hear.)

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TAT TERSALL'S.-THURSDAY.

A few of the subscribers dropped into the room to-day,
but, as the result of the afternoon's transactions will show
the betting was merely nominal. The death of Mr. Chas.
Greville was one of the principal topics of conversation, all
being unanimous in the declaration that his place is not
likely to be filled in the councils of the Jockey Club—at
least in this generation. The subjoined quotations will, as
far as they go, sufficiently denote the tone of the market :

SOUTH DEVON.

It appears that after three appeals to the share-
holders—two by Mr. Ellis, of Exeter, and one by 1
the chairman of the company, the next half-yearly
meeting of the proprietors is to be held at Exeter,
instead of at Plymouth, on the 28th of next
month. A meeting of shareholders residing
in the neighbourhood of Exeter recently passed a re-
solution requesting Mr. Ellis to become a candidate
for a seat at the board, and he has accepted this in-
vitation ; stating that if elected he will continue to
Bhareho
advocate the principle, " that the business of the

THE ROYAL RECEPTION COMMITTEE.

At the time of reappointing this committee,
Mr. FULLER said the medal commemorative of the visit
of the Prince and Princess of Wales to the city would be
shortly delivered to the present members of the Court of
Common Council, and that they would not be delivered to
any of those who were members of the Court at the time
the royal visit was paid but who had since ceased to form
part of the corporation.
Mr. RowE thought this a strange resolution on the part
of the Reception Committee, because as well might they
give a medal to a raw recruit who had never been in an en-
gagement as give one to a member of the Court who was
not in the Council at the period of the Royal visit. (A
laugh.)
Mr. FULLER said the resolution of the committee would
be adhered to, for the number of the medals ordered cor-
responded exactly with the number of the members of the
Council, and not one more s ould be forwarded. Moreover,
when the medal was struck the die would be handed over
to the Town Clerk to be placed among similar articles in the

BOURSE, Oct. s.—Two o'Clock.—The market is
weak and hesitating, owing to the Bank of France
having raised its rate of discount from 3 to 4 per
cent., and the English Consols coming with a fall
of 4 per cent. ; nevertheless quotations do not show
any sensible depreciation. Threes, for the Account,
bring 68f. 35c.—a decline of sc. Lombards and
Austrian Railway Shares have declined 7f. 50c.
On the other hand, Italian Fives have advanced
15c., to 65f. 15c., and Credit Mobilier Shares show
an improvement of 3f. the quotation being
868 f. 75c. The weekly return of the Bank of
France shows a decrease in the stock of bullion of
21,765,786 f. 403., and an increase in the porte-
feuille of upwards of 68 millions. Three o'Clock.—

vious rates.

ment, and prices for both present and forward delivery

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

AN INTOLERABLE NUISANCE.—Henry Harper, a lad, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with disorderly conduct.
Mr. Byrne, a bootmaker, Marshall-street, Golden-square,
said that he felt it his duty to proceed against the prisoner
for the sake of the public, and with the view of assisting
the police in checking a most disgraceful nuisance. On the
previous night he saw about 20 lads and girls collected in
Marshall-street, who were pelting every one who passed
with bags of flour. The prisoner, who was very active,
threw a bag of flour at a female, smothering her from head
to foot, and just as he was receiving another bag of flour
from a lad he (Mr. Byrne) seized him and took him towards
the station, when meeting a constable he handed him over
to him. On the former night the prisoner and his com-
panions had stretched a cord across the street for the pur-
pose of throwing persons down, and they were in the
habit of jumping on the backs of persons, the police not
being able to take any of the offenders into custody,
owing to lads being placed to give the signal when the
police were coming.
Mr. William Brown, of 14, West-street, proved seeing a
number of lads and girls pelting one another, and every one
who passed, with flour. At the time Mr. Byrne seized the
prisoner he had a bag of flour in his hand, and another bag
was found upon him.
A constable said he found a bag of flour and a piece of
cord on the prisoner, the cord being used for tripping up
persons.

The prisoner said he did not throw any flour, and the
cord was given to him.

Mr. Byrne said the nuisance had been going on for some
ime.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said that it was evident the prisoner had
plenty of what was called " cheek." He should commit
him for 21 days with hard labour, and he wished some of
the others had been brought before him.

THAMES.

AN AMATEUR THIEF-TAKER.—Three boys, named Wil-
liam Spurt, Joseph Blackett, and Reuben Smith were
brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing a
piece of bacon, weighing 51-lbs., and valued at 4s. 6d., from
the shop of Mr. Joseph Mure, of No. 16, Langley-place,
Commercial-road East.

George Plowman, a respectable young man, employed in
ll.M.'s India Store Department, and dwelling at No. 18,
Old Nelson-street, Stepney, stated that he saw the priso-
ners on Monday night. They were looking inat the shops,
and he watched them some time. He did not see them
take anything, and the hour growing late he went home.
Last night he saw the prisoners again. They were
walking up and down the Commercial-road, near Mr.
Mure's shop, and occasionally looked in. Two of them
were on the look-out while Spurt put his hand over the
cheesemonger's shop board, took a piece of bacon, and put
it under his coat. The prisoner ran away, but had not
proceeded more than a dozen yards before he seized him
and took him back with the bacon to Mr. Mure and de-
tained him. He said to the prisoner There were two more
with you," to which he replied, "No, there was not." On
the way to the station-house he saw the prisoners Smith
and Blackett following Spurt, who was in the custody of
a police constable. He seized one of the prisoners and the
prosecutor captured the other. Smith said, "You will soon
have to let me go." At the station-house Spurt said the
other prisoners told him to take the bacon.
Mr. Partridge said the witness had behaved well, and
deserved the thanks of the public.
Robert Payne, a police-constable, No. 198 K, said that
while he was taking Spurt to the station-house he said,
" I should not have taken the bacon if it had not been for
the other two prisoners." All the prisoners had been con-
victed before, and were most incorrigible and audacious
young thieves.

Mr. Partridge said he should require evidence of the for-
mer convictions, and when and where they took place.
The witness Plowman had acted perfectly correct and
legal. Any man or woman could act as a police-constable
and take a thief into custody if they saw a felony com-
mitted. Ho should remand the prisoners for a week, and
at the next hearing should expect full proof of the former
convictions.
