POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTHWARK.—CharIes Thomson, a respectable-
looking young man, was charged with intermarrying
with Constance Mary Nolin, his first wife being thtmi
and now alive.

The second wife, a young woman with an infant
in her arms, stated that in the early part of 1849
she became acquainted with the prisoner in the city of
Norwich, and they kept up a continual correspondence
until October, when they were married at the Superin-
tendent Registrar'-office in Norwich. She
_afterwards
came up to London with the prisoner, and they lived
very comfortable together until lately, when he took it
into his head to beat her and treat her in a cruel man-
ner. She could not live with him any longer, and she'
was induced to give him into custody on the previous
day, being aware that his first wife was living. When
she married him he told her that he was married, and
that he was not comfortable.
Mr. A'Beckett—Then you married him with your
eyes open, well knowing that your marriage could not
be legal ?
Prosecutor—He told me his first wife was nothing to
him, and he wanted me to elope with him. I thought
it was all right, therefore I consented to be his wife,
and we were married in a room at Norwich shortly
afterwards.
Prisoner—l acknowledged having a wife when I mar-.
ried the prosecutrix. She and my first wife were in the
room at the time with some friends, and a mutual agree-
inent took place between us, and we were married by
the Superintendent Registrar.
The prisoner was remanded.

PRINTING PRESSES, PULPITS, AND WOMEN.—These
are the three great levers that govern the world. WWI-
- them the bottom would fall out, and society would
become chaos again. The press made people patriotic,
the pulpit religious, but women answer all things. There
would be no going to church if there were no girls there,
neither would there be any going to war were the sol-
i dters to meet with no applause but from the masculines.
