POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MABLBOROUGH-STREET,

A SAD CASE.—A young woman, evidently in a weakly
state, waited upon Mr. Tyrwhitt to ask his assistance. The
applicant stated that she had been in service in the country,
but was obliged to leave in consequence of not being well
enough to do her work. She came to London, and, after
spending all her money, she had been obliged to sleep at
different workhouses, being turned out in the morning. As
she had no friends in England, and the doctor told her that
she was sickening for a fever, she wished the magistrate
to assist her in getting into an infirmary.
Mr. Tyrwhitt kindly ordered the applicant some assist-
ance from the poor-box, and said that one of the officers of
the court should go with her to St. James's Workhouse
with a request that she might be admitted.
Shewill, one of the officers of the court, accompanied the
applicant to St. James's 'Workhouse, and shortly after
returned, stating that she was immediately admitted.
ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY.-Wm. Bartholomew, a young
man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a
gold watch and chain, two brooches, a pin, and other
articles, of the value of £l6, the property of Mr. Vincent
Litchfield Fellows, landlord of the Berkeley Arms, John-
street, Berkeley-square.

Mr. Fellows said that on Thursday, the 26th of last
month, :the prisoner, who was his potman and waiter,
went upstairs to prepare the club room, and some time
after came downstairs and left the house and never re-
turned. About 11 o'clock, on going up to his bedroom on
the floor above the club-room, ho missed a gold watch and
chain, two brooches, a pin, and other articles, of the value
of £l6.

The prisoner said he had no questions to ask—he would
plead guilty.
Police-constable Pickles, 257 C, said that on taking the
prisoner into custody and telling him the charge, he said
"All right; go with you." He wished the prisoner re-
manded, as he believed there would be another charge
against him.
Mr. Tyrwhitt granted a remand.

no moderate change took place in prices, as compared with

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Tuesday Morning.

No little excitement was caused yesterday morn-
ing by the announcement that on Saturday night,
at a late hour, a detachment of the 24th Regiment
had been thrown into the Pigeon House Fort, which
commands the Bay of Dublin, and that all the
guards had been doubled and the guns double
shotted. This fortification, which, before the new
rifled ordnance was invented, would have probably
stood a good deal of carnonading, is capable of
holding a regiment of soldiers. Only a company
or so, however, has lately occupied it, and its works
have not in any way been modernised. It stands,
too, in a very exposed position, and at low water
the sands at the back of it are quite bare. It was
from the bay side of it that the packets started for
England before steam was employed, and the incon-
venience of the place, and the bleak drive to or from
it, are mentioned in all the works of the day on Ire-
land. The Irish Times first intimated the startling
fact of the increased garrisoning of this fortja the
following terms :

" A party of the Ist Battalion 24th Regiment,
consisting of 100 men, under the command of Major
Berry, proceeded from Beggar's Bush Barracks at 8
o'clock on Saturday evening to Pigeon House Fort.
This party was relieved by an equal number yester-
day morning. All the guards were double mounted ;
ft) e guns were double shotted ; and the men held
under arms all night and the entire of yesterday.
Four general officers were in the fort, and the men
paraded in open square during yesterday's heavy
rain. The gates or bridges are now closed. A de-
tachment consisting of three companies (viz., 7,8,
and 9) of the Ist Battalion 24th RegiMent, under
the command of Major R. T. Glyn, will march from
Beggar's Bush Barracks at 8 o'clock this morning,
to the Pigeon House Fort, there to be stationed until
further orders."

A detachment of the Coast Brigade Royal Artil-
lery will also be quartered at the Pigeon House
Fort.

The Mail, on the same subject, said last evening,
" The particular cause of this movement is unknown.
Immediately on receipt of orders from head-quarters
100 men of the Ist Battalion 24th Regiment, com-
manded by Major Berry,
marched from B
Bush Barracks to the Fort, atB o'clock
pe.
mgga's
. on
Saturday. The men were provided with ammuni-
tion, the same as if proceeding on active service. On
arrival, the guards, doubly mounted, were at once
placed, and the remainder of the party ordered to
remain under arms during the night. They were
relieved yesterday morning. This morning a de-
tachment consisting of three companies of the same
regiment, under the command of Major R. T.
Glyn, proceeded to the Pigeon House Fort, where
they are now quartered. Everything is being done
to put the fort into a state of defence in the shortest
possible space of time. The guns are being cleaned
and rendered fit for service, and the walls and em-
brasures looked to, and for present precaution the
gates are closed, and no person is allowed to enter
unless provided with a proper order. This morning
(Monday) the officers of the magazine department
were engaged in receiving supplies of ammunition."
All sorts of rumours were afloat yesterday, but no
information as to the cause of these strange and
unexpected steps could be obtained. A large quan-
tity of powder is stored in a hulk beside the fort,
and it is suggested that the precautions just taken
have been to prevent any madman or hairbrained
enthusiast from attempting to explode it, and blow
up the Pigeon House. They could hardly be to
prevent a Fenian cruiser from coming up the bay
and entering the river, as an ironclad or two would
be the proper prevention of any such most unlikely
descent on Dublin. The affair, nevertheless, in the
present state of the public mind, is exciting much
alarm. The troops in garrison, too, have received
orders that do not allay the general anxiety to
know what these measures portend.
A Dublin paper states :—" Weather permitting,
the troops in the Dublin division will march into the
country once a week until further orders, the march
not to be less than two hours' duration, and not
later than one o'clock."
