POZICE INT_ELLIGENCE.—March 31.

MANSION-HOSE.—Henry Whitton, a cabman,
42 years of age, who had been liberated on bail,
was brought before Alderman Wilson on the fol-
lowing charge :
The complainant was one Benjamin Merritt, a
lad of 16, employed as au errand boy by Messrs.
Chuck and Co., glass merchants in Nortonfolgate.
He had been upwards of a month in a hospital, and
was still suffering from lameness in one knee, which
it was apprehended would be permanent. About 7
o'clock on the evening of the 20th of, February he
was crossing the end of Sun-street, along Bishops-
gate-street, carrying a load of glass on his head,
when he was run down by a horse and light cast,
driven by the defendant, and received a kick from
the horse, which had ever since disabled him from
following his employment. The defendant, regard-
less of the circumstance, drove on until he was
stopped by a police-constable. He was quite sober
at the time, and was driving, according to one wit-
ness, at the rate of six miles an hour.
A commercial traveller named Farnden, who saw
the transaction, said the defendant was driving in
a careless manner, and at what he considered a dan-
gerous pace at a crossing in the streets of London,
though it might not be so on a common road.
When the lad was knocked down the glass he car-
ried, worth 175., was smashed to pieces.
The prisoner said he was sorry for what had
happened, but could not avoid it.
The defendant's employer eventually agreed to
pay the lad's wages for the time he bad been in
the hospital and until he was able to resume work,
and, his father being satisfied with that arrange-
ment, the defendant was liberated.

MARYLEBONE.—A respectfully-dressed man,
who gave his name as Dr. John Temple, but who
refused his address, was charged with attempting
to obtain money from an officer of the Life Guards
by false pretences.
Mr. George Woodroffe said—l am an officer in
the Royal Horse Guards, stationed at Regent's-
park barracks. Last Wednesday evening the pri-
soner called at my stepfather's house, in South-
wick-crescent. He asked for me, and said that he
was Dr. Temple, of Cambridge. He was asked to
send up his card, but declined to do so. After he
was seated in the dining-room he told me that he
had just come from St. Helier's, in Jersey, and that
he had lost all his luggage, portmanteau, and money.
He said ho wanted to get down to his residence, at
5, Trumpington-street, Cambridge. He asked me
to lend him the funds necessary to take him there.
As assistance was refused, he then requested me to
g NV him the sum he required to telegraph down to
his fric2ds to let them know what a fix he was in.
This was ai);o declined. He then said that he was
a Cambridge man ; that he had been to the Horse
Guards, where the men were on duty, and that he
had inquired of them if there was a Cambridge
man among the officers. He was told, he said, that
there was a Mr. Woodroffe, but that was at the
barracks. He had called at the barracks, Regent's-
park, and was there told that I was at Southwick-
crescent, where he called and saw me. He then
left. I was riding this morning in Edgware-road
when I saw the prisoner. I said to him, " You are
Dr. Temple." He replied, " I don't know you."
I said, " You are Dr. Temple." He said, " Oh,
dear, no!" I told him I knew him, and should
lock him up. lie was about to run down a side
street when a policeman came up, and I gave him
into custody.

Cross-examined by the prisoner—l cannot say
for certain whether you said you had lost your
portmonnsie or your portmanteau.
The prisoner said--1 am a doctor of philosophy,
and graduated at Stettin. I have resided at Trump-
ington-street, Cambridge, where I was born. I
asked the gentleman if ho could let me have the
money I required to return there, which he de-
clined. I ►hen asked him for money to enable me
to telegraph down, and, as he again refused, I asked
it he would recommend me to some hotel, and be

SLAVES IN NORTH AMERICA.—Their :10tion$
about bang free vary, as might be expected, with thei,..if
mental development, when once the idea of being solo
Cuba is left behind. Some appear to be very abject, Or
ing that they aro now the Yankees, to be done with as t11,,f"
Yankees please. Some only want a good master. SO::
would like to be free, but inquire after a while for s°l°-
white man who should be 4, a protector." But all lit
bourers understand wages : all families understand
is not to be sold away from each other; and all nr.
women, and children, seem to have a passion for
cation. This was so early and clearly pronounced ft
while the poor fugitives were huddling in the swamps by
day, and creeping on through woods and lanes by
good men and women in the northern cities have VI
spending their scarce dollars in buying up all sorto
alphabets andseasy reading-books, and ciphering and cop;
books, to be sent down to the islands with the el°t11;
and implements so urgently required. Education httslit
been anxiously forbidden to the slaves, they regard it tw
a badge of human nobility ; and the ambition for it I
universal. Already the parents are willing to p. 4110
certain amount out of their new wages to the schti°4
where they send their children with glee. In
schools are seen children of all shades, from the pure -X"-;
can black to the blue-eyed and fair-complexioned off P'
of the planter and his quadroon : the teachers are el:lanai°,
pated slaves ; and after school hours, they beg some Menu"
white to hear them spell, and read their easy words. S.

can read a hymn and a few scripture texts, having too
