LAW INTELLIGENCE--This Day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner (}oulburn.)
IN RE STUART.-CARD-PLAYING AT CLUBS,

This bankrupt was described as a gentleman, of various
addresses at the West-end and in the country, and to-day
he came up for the order of discharge. The debts are
about £2,179, and the deficiency £2,101, the bankruptcy
being ascribed to the insufficiency of assets to meet liabili-
ties. Amongst the creditors are Captain Disney Roebuck,
of the United Service Club, Charles-street, St. James's,
who holds a power of attorney for £7OO for money lost
while playing at cards, and Mr. Rawdon, of Cowicks, in
Essex, £740, also for money lost at card-playing.
The case had not concluded when this report left, but
it was anticipated that some arrangement would be made
with the creditors.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.
_
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

BURGLARS FRUSTRATED.—Thomas Brown, address re-
fused, describing himself as a printer, was chargel before
Mr. Tyrwhitt with attempting burglariously to break and
enter the house No. 34, Golden-square.
Police-constable Philip Shrives, of the C division, said
that between 12 last night and 1 this morning he was in
Brewer -street, Golden-square, when he saw the prisoner
in company of two other men. He followed them about
for some time and saw them separate and then join again.
Two of them went and stood, one of them at the corner
of Upper James-street and the other at the corner of Upper
John-street, while the third got on the railings of the area
of No. 34, Golden-square. Some glass was then broken
and the man jumped down and ran away. The prisoner
and the other man then met and walked down Silver-street
into the spare again, and while two of them got in the
doorway of the house No. 34, the prisoner got on the rail-
ings and placed a large piece of paper which had been
smeared with treacle (called by burglars a " treacle
plaster") on the fanlight so that no noise of broken glass
should be heard, and he then smashed in the fanlight with
his band, but the glass making a noise through the clumsy
manner in which the job had been performed, the pri-
soner made off, some persons coming through the square
at the time. He followed the prisoner and saw him joined
by two other men in Silver-street. They afterwards sepa-
rated, and he followed the prisoner and saw him go up to
a house in Silver-street, and on looking in the doorway ho
(the constable) found the " jemmy" produced; (stated to be
of first-rate workmanship.) Ho then went after the pri-
soner and took him into custody, and on searching him at
the station he found in his possession a piece of wax taper
and a knife.

In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the constable said that on
examining the fanlight he found that it had been broken
sufficiently to allow of the entrance of a man.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should remand the prisoner for a
week to give the police an opportunity of tracing the other

men.

The Fenians.

DUBLIN, Tuesday Morning.

expected to seize information which would lead them to the
capture of a large amount of military stores, as the Polish
exiles in America had been taiking of an army of liberation
for Poland, and of sending war material into the country.
Simultaneously with this proceeding ordershavebeenissued
to the Russian officials to seize every military-looking man
wearing American boots, to have him searched and de-
tained until the governor is communicated with, and his
report made known regarding the prisoner. In furtherance
of these orders large bodies of police are stationed on the
frontier at the American side, and every returning emi-
grant found in possession of a pistol, a military book, or
any memento of the American war, is put under arrest.
The Russian government some time ago gave the Poles a
kind of constitution. The present proceeding is in viola-
tion of this ; in fact, it is a complete revocation of it. The
governor of Poland, who must be a Russian, has, through
his press, circulated a report that the despotic seizure of a
newspaper, and all men and materials belonging to it, was
made on information received from the American govern-
ment, but this is doubted by many, as some forty men are
now in prison a fortnight, and it is known that two of the
Russian magistrates are in daily communication with the
spies and the professional swearers, who are always at
hand for use. Indeed, it is known that one of the latter
left St. Petersburgh a few weeks ago, telling an acquaint-
ance of his that he was going to Warsaw to do a bit of
business. Though it is a principle of law in many coun-
tries that a man charged with a crime is presumed inno-
cent until found guilty, it is different in Warsaw. The
moment a man is arrested on a political charge, he is
presumed guilty, and treated accordingly. Though he
might not be brought before the public tribunals
for four, eight, or twelve months, there is no bail
for his appearance. He is sent back to his dun-
geon, and treated as the caprice of the Governor of
Poland may suggest. The men in this case have
been kept in solitary confinement all hours of the day
and night, save two. During ono of these they leave
their cells in the morning to wash, and the other at noon
to walk about a small yard. This time the guards are
doubled on them to prevent their talking, and they must
keep a certain distance away from each other. They are
also prevented from having any communication with the
outside world. They are to be removed from one prison to
another to-day, in order to appear before the officials who
have been preparing the charge against them. The prisons
in Warsaw are generally governed by the municipal coun-
cil of the city, but it is the privilege of the Russian Governor
to take the government of them into his own hands, which
he generally does on occasions of this kind. The news-
paper writers of Poland would be loud in their denuncia-
tions of such despotism if they saw the English Govern-
ment acting this way in Ireland or the Austrian Govern-
ment in Hnngary ; but Russian influence and patronage
blinds them to every act of tyranny in their own unfortu-
nate country."

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BEDFORD RACES-TUESDAY.

This meeting, in addition to the sport being of a very
meagre description, was shorn of the importance which
attached to it in former years, when transactions on the
two great autumn handicaps, the Cesarewitch and Cam-
bridgeshire, were so extensive as to attract a large number
of bookmakers and backers. The opening day on this occa-
sion possessed no feature of importance whatever, as affect-
ing the great race of next week, and but few transactions
were effected. Salpinetes was perhaps not quite so firm,
7 to 1 being offered without a response, but this was pro-
bably attributable to the scarcity of backers. Ostregor, at
11 to 1, was not backed, but no higher price could be ob-
tained, and he showed no symptoms of declining in the
market. 25 to 1 was taken about Eleanor, and Zephyr at
40 to 1 found a friend. . For the Cambridgeshire, Sister to
Drake and Custard Castle, at 20 to 1 each, and Lampoon
at 50 to 1, were backed, but only to small amounts. It is
unnecessary to refer to the racing here, as the annexed re-
turn contains every particular. The attendance was small,
but the afternoon was particularly pleasant, a cooling breeze
tempering the heat. Subjoined are full details of the run-
ning :

The Consolation Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 25 added, for
three-year-olds; colts, Bst 101 b; fillies, Bst 71b; tho

Betting-5 to 2on Orloff, who jumped off with a com-
manding lead, which he held to the turn into the straight,
where Bunch drew up, and for a moment it looked like a
race, but half way up Bunch was in difficulties, and Orloff
won in a canter by a length. The winner was not sold.
The Two-year-old Stakes of 10 sovs each, with 50 added;
colts, Bst 101 b ; fillies, Bst 71b ; penalties and allowances.
