POLICE-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

STEALING A GENTLEMAN'S VALUABLE GOLD WATCH
AND CHAlN.—Minnie Holmes, a well-dressed female, who
gave the address 22, Crown-court, Great Russell-street,
was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a gold
watch and chain of the value of 80, the property of Mr.
Clarence Savage, of 8, Northumberland-street, Strand.
On the case being called on, the prosecutor was not in
attendance, and the constable, John Cook, 106 C, said he
wished for a remand.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said before he could grant a remand he
must hear his (the officer's) statement.

Cook then said, at half-past four this morning, from in-
formation he received, he apprehended the prisoner at a
house in Earl's.court, Cranbourn-street. He told her she
was charged with stealing a gold watch and chain, of the
value of £6O, from a gentleman named Savage. She said
it served her right, as she had no business on that ground,
and that it was her first night of being there. On the way
to the station he asked the prisoner what she knew of the
watch, and she said that she had not stolen it, but she
knew who had it. lie (the .officer) had been to Mr.
Savage's chambers and also to his residence, and he had
left word that ha would be in town either that or the next
day, and would attend.

Prisoner said she told the officer that she would tell all
about it when before Mr. Savage and the magistrate. She
knew Mr. Savage well, but nothing of his watch.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded her till Thursday.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE THROUGH INABILITY TO OBTAIN
ADMISSION TO AN HOSPITAL.—Edmund Parkins, a tall,
miserable-looking man, who was obliged to be brought to
the court in a cab, was charged with attempting to commit
suicide by drowning himself in the Serpentine.
A constable saw the prisoner in a state of nudity last
night near the Serpentine, and on asking what he was
going to do, he said "To commit suicide;" and, in answer
to the questions, he said that he was in a state of destitu-
tion, and that his logs were very bad, that he could not get
into any hospital, and that the latter circumstance had in-
duced him to attempt to take his life. The prisoner was
taken care of at the receiving-house, and he was obliged to
have a cab to bring him to the court as he was unable from
the state of his legs to walk. •
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded him for a week, stating that he
would be looked after by the authorities at the House of
Detention.

DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE.

Mr. Lawson and Mr. Potter, the members for Carlisle,
were present at the annual fish dinner to the Mayor of
Carlisle, on Friday last, at King Garth. In responding to
the toast of "The health of the city members,"
Mr. LAWSON said he was afraid not much had been done
for the public good in the late session. Lord Palmerston
had told the people at Dover that the session was quite
remarkable for the number of public benefits enacted, but
with that tact for which he was celebrated, the noble ,
lord had taken good care not to enumerate them.
(Laughter) Afte referring to some of the measures
which had been before Parliament, Mr. Lawson alluded
to the prevailing distress. He said : We feel that distress
in Carlisle, though I do not know that it is yet so bad as
in some parts of Lancashire; but I know it is very great.
It behoves us all to do what we can for the relief of that
distress; but I don't know that much can be done in the
way of legislation. A bill has been passed to meet the
difficulty, and I trust it will have the intended effect. The
cause of that distr ss we all know, is the sad state
of affairs in America. What are the causes of that war ?
that fratracidal war, or who is to blame are not topics
on which we can properly descant at present. There are
different opinions on the subject—some think one right
and some think the other right, and we can hardly dis-
cuss it without becoming partisans. I can only say that
I saw with very deep regret the speech made by an hon.
member of the House of Commons a short time since in
which he said he positively rejoiced at the war in Ame-
rica. I did not think such a sentiment could be uttered by
any Englishman. (Cheers.) lam sure I only utter the
sentiment of every one here when I say that we deeply
grieve at that state of things, and hope and trust it may
soon be brought to a termination, so that peace may reign
again on the other side of the Atlantic, and our own suffer-
ing population may again have a return of prosperity.
Mr. POTTER, M.P., in referring to the distress, said—l
was honoured with a petition from the city of Carlisle,
praying that the Poor-law measure should be one borne by
the whole country. I venture to think that that prayer was
a right one, and 1 did what I could to support it in the
Huse of Commons ; however, the Legislature thought dif-
ferent, and willed that the districts themselves should bear
the brunt of the pressure. Now I think that, remembering
that the affliction under which they are suffering is brought
about by almost a political measure, that is, the disturbance
in America, it ought hardly to fall on the cotton districts
themselves. However, the pressure is a very severe one;
and although I am afraid it is introducing a very gloomy
subject it is one we are only on the verge of, and which I
look upon with a strong feeling of fear. When I remember
the large number dependent on that industry, when I remem

ber the class of men who are now suffering, and remem,

ber that under no circumstances for the next six or eight

months can we obtain a supply of cotton which will be the
means of reducing the distress, the prospect is very fearful.
(Hear.) But all classes—both the wealthy and the working
classes—will go through the severe trial in a manner worthy
of the people who are suffering under it. (Cheers.) When
we look back and see the improvement made in the physical

condition of the working classes of this country in the last 30
years, and when. we remember that improvement is not less
in their moral and intellectual education we must deeply re-
gret that a class of people of that standing should be placed
in a state of suffering in which they are now labouring,

However, not to dwell on a subject of that kind, we may

hope that after a few months, if we can wear through, it will

be ultimately the better for the country; we shall feel our-

selves more independent, and I think we shall come to a

state of prosperity again, and after that we shall have no
reason to regret the very severe pressure now upon us.
