POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.— ITTo/f, the young man who
was a few days ago charged with having obtained money
and goods, by pretending to be the Earl of Dalkeith,
was brought up for final examination before Sir Robert
Walter Carden. The following is the additional evi-
dence :
F. Ridout (C 91) said—The prisoner was given into
my custody on Tuesday last, at half-past two o'clock by
Mr. Newton, the manager of Mr. Dent's shop in the
Royal Exchange, one of the porters of 'the Carlton Club
having called me. I found on him a duplicate for a
chain, which bad been pawned at Mr. Russell's three
other duplicates, and 3/. 17s. 7d. in money.
The Earl of Dalkeith said—My name is William
Henry Walter, Earl of Dalkeith. I reside at Montagu-
house, Whitehall. Ido not reside at Mivart's Hotel,
or at East-park, near Edinburgh. lam not aware that
there is such a place as the latter. I do not know the
prisoner, and I never authorised him to order goods in
my name of Mr. Dent. The handwriting in Mr. Dent's
book is not mine.

Mr. Frederick Stocken, of 5, Halkin-street, Bruns-
wick-square, carriage and harness-maker, said—On the
21st of February,
I received a letter purporting to be
written by the Earl of Dalkeith, requesting that a
brougham and pair, coachmen and two' footmen should
be outside the Brighton railway station at a quarter-past
11 o'clock the following morning, as he wished to hire
them for a few hours. In consequence of this commu-
nication, I went myself to prevent any mistake with the
brougham and horses to the station, and I saw the pri-
soner, who came up in a cab, upon the platform, and he
got into the carriage and drove away. I think that the
first time I 'saw him was upon the day before I received
this communication, when he called upon me in Halkin-
street. He said he wished to know whether I could let
him have a handsome chariot, as Iris brougham was not
good enough to go to the House of. Lords. I told him I
could. He told me he was the Duke of Buccleuch's
eldest son, the Earl of Dalkeith. I afterwards received
a card, with the "Earl of Dalkeith" upon it, counter-
manding the order. On Thursday the 30th of March,
the day after the drawing-room, the prisoner came in his
brougham to me, and said he wished to know of me how
his credit stood. My answer was, "Very good. He
said he had left his purse at home, and could I let him
have 21. till he should pass again, when he would
return it. I said, "Yes," and I would have given him
501. if he had asked for it. He then wished for silver,
and I gave him 10s. more. He ordered at the same
time harness for a pair of horses, to which I was to put
the coronet, and the initial "D." The harness has been
partially made.
_ _

- Sir li-,. W. Carden—When he advanced the 2/. 10s. to
him, did you believe him to be the Earl Dalkeith ?
Witness—Yes ; and I would not have let him have it

if I had not believed such to be the case.

Mr. H. Webster—l am one of the principal assistants
in the house of Storr and Mortimer, of New Bond-
street, jewellers, and on Thursday, the 30th of March,
the day on which the Queen's drawing-room was held,
the prisoner came to our establishment in a carriage,
and wished to look at some bracelets. He stated at the
same time that he had got some valuable stones,
amethysts and diamonds, which he wished to have
mounted. I told him he had better let me have the
stones, so that a drawing might be made suitable to the
mounting of them. He said he was strongly recom-
mended by the Earl of Annesley, with whom he was
then stopping. I told him I had known his lord-
ship many years. He then asked if Lord Annesley
had any account there, to which I replied, " No,"
and that he usually paid ready-money ; but his
lordship might have an account to any amount
he pleased. The prisoner then said, " Let me
look at some studs." I showed him three, the price of
which was 871. Ho said, "By the bye, I'll take these
three studs now, and see if I like them ; and if I do
not like them I'll return to-morrow." I then said, the
studs were so very dirty that I could not allow him to
take them away, as they would require cleaning, but
that he should have them on the following day, when
lie should call about the drawing. I never saw him
since till he was in custody.
Mr. Lewis requested that the alderman would accept
of bail for his client's appearance at the Central Crimi-
nal Court.

Sir It. W. Carden said it would be a complete aban-
donment of duty in him to accept bail under such cir-
cumstances, and committed the prisoner for trial on the
three several charges.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. David Levy, the
keeper of a cigar shop, 127, Jermyn-street, was sum-
moned for selling exciseable liquors without a license.
Inspector Lester, C division, stated that athalf-past one
on Sunday morning, the 26th March, he went to the de-
fendant's shop, and, having gained an entrance, he found
eight men and five disreputable women seated at a table
on which there were five glasses containing ale.
and three containing brandy and water, and there were
some bottles in the passages. He had heard money pass
whilst outside the house, but could not swear to seeing
any pass for the liquor, although, as a constable who
had been stationed outside all the evening saw no
liquors taken in, the assumption was that it was kept
by the defendant in the house for sale.
Mr. Hardwick believed that the charge was well
founded, but, as no money was seen to pass, he dismissed
the case.

Captain Finnic was charged with threatening to shoot
Samuel Scott, tailor, 34, Bury-street.
The complainant said the defendant was his lodger.
On Friday, the defendant rushed down stairs, swore at
him, said he was the best shot and the best boxer in
London, that he had pistols in his bed-room which he
would fetch, and then shoot him. From the defendant's
eccentric violence witness went in fear of his life.

The defendant, who is known at this court, and who
appeared in full sporting costume, said that the state-
ment of the complainant was all false.
Mr. Hardwick said these exhibitions of violence must
be checked, and he must, therefore, call upon the de-
fendant to find two sureties in 401. each, and himself in
801., to keep the peace.
J. Watkins, .Esq., M.P. for Brecknock, was fined
40s. for being drunk, and for having assaulted a police
constable.

MARYLEBONE.—EIizabeth Brown was brought up
by Sergeant Hazeltine, 10 D, and placed at the bar,
before Mr. Long, charged with having stolen jewellery
to a very large amount, the property of Robert Herries
Peter, Esq., 45, Hyde-park-square.
Prosecutor deposed that the prisoner had been in his
service at work, and that she was discharged from her
situation on the 27th of August last. On the 14th of
March following he found that a jewel-case, locked up
by him in a drawer in his dressing-room, had been ab-
stracted therefrom, and instantly communicated the par-
ticulars of his loss to the police. The articles stolen
consisted of an antique brilliant ear-ring,, value 1001., a
topaz ear-ring and drop, a pair of crystal ear-rings and
drops, a half-hoop brilliant ring, a half-hoop sapphire
ditto, a mourning ring set with brilliants, and other
articles of different descriptions, all of which he saw
quite safe prior to the prisoner quitting the house.
Mr. Long—Has any of the property been found ?
Prosecutor—No, sir.
Mr. Long—Then why do you suspect the prisoner as
having been the guilty party ?

Prc;secutor—rhave reason to think she is. I had
observed irregular conduct on her part upon many occa-
sions, and since she left I have ascertained that money
which I had given to her for the settlement of trades-
man's bills, had not been paid by her as directed by me.
Hazeltine (the police sergeant) stated, that on the
previous evening he took the prisoner into custody in
the front kitchen at No. 5, Praed-street, Paddington.
Ho told her the nature of the charge against her, and
all she said was, " I know nothing about it ; there were
other servants in the house."
Prosecutor said he did not believe for one moment
that the other servant, Susan, had anything to do with
the robbery.

The maiistrate remanded the accused, who strongly
asserted her innocence, till Saturday next.

SOUTHWARK.—WiIIiam Roberts was charged with
stealing a silver watch froM the person of Mr. Charles
Case, cab proprietor, Bowling-green-lane, on Epsom
race-course.

The prosecutor stated that on Wednesday he proceeded
with his wife to Epsom to witness the Metropolitan
Stakes ran for. On his arrival he went to the end of
the course to see the jockeys weighed. His watch was
then safe in his waistcoat pocket, attached to a gold
guard chain, which was affixed to the button-hole of his
waistcoat. While standing in front with the prisoner on
his right side he felt his watch go, and on putting his
hand to his pocket he missed it. As soon as he turned
round the prisoner ran away, and was joined by another,
when they both bolted into a booth. He followed them,
and another man attempted to push him on one side,
and prevent his entering the booth ; but he forced his
way in and caught hold of the prisoner and brought him
out, when he gave him into custody for stealing his
watch. He described the latter as a small engine turned,
single cased watch, with the initials P. S. S. on the back,
and the maker's name, Mason, Colchester.
Isabella Case, wife of the prosecutor, and was stand-
ing behind her husband looking under his arm at the
weighing of the jockeys, when she saw the prisoner steal
the watch from the waiscoat pocket and run away. She
was positive the prisoner was the thief, as she saw him
have it in his hand when he ran away. She also saw
another man join him before they ran into the booth.
Joseph Faulkner, police constable 318 V. said he was
on duty on Epsom Race-course on Wednesday, and took
the prisoner in charge for stealing the prosecutor's
watch.
Mr. A'Beckett fully committed for trial.

. LAMBETH.—Miss Mary Rol; a fashionably-dressed
female, appeared to a summons, calling on her to show
cause why she detained four shirts, the property of Mr.
W. Barlow.
The complainant is an equestrian at Astley's, and the
defendant is also engaged at that theatre, and both live
in the same house in Stangate. The defence set up by
the lady was that complainant had taken away and de-
tained a ring of hers of the value of 2/. 103., and she
detained his shirts, which were not worth more than 10s.
until he restored the ring. Mr. Wm. Barlow declared
the lady had presented him with the ring in return for
some presents he had given her. This Miss Row posi-
tively-denied, and said that, instead of giving the ring
to him, he had taken it from the mantel-shelf, and what
was still worse, he had made it a present on .the same
day to some woman he was acquainted with.
Mr. Norton—lt was not a marriage ring I hope ?
Miss Row—No, sir, not a marriage ring.
Mr. Barlow admitted that ho had given the ring to a
lady of his acquaintance on the day he received it.
Mr. Norton told him that this was not a very gentle-
manly act, upon which he promised to get it hack, and
the summons was ordered to be adjourned to give him
au opportunity of performing his promise.

SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

BUOYS ON THE CHANNEL AND HUSUM.
The Danish Government have issued the following
notice :

The buoying of a new and deeper entrance to the Hever
Channel and Husum, as announced in the preliminary
notice of the 13th inst., is now effected, and notice thereof
is hereby given, together with the marks and directions
following, respecting the navigating of said Channel, its
depth, &c.

At the entrance of tho new channel lies a red 9-feet buoy
in 5 fathom water, at low water, and from which the
following places bear—
Helgoland W. by S. 1-3 d S.,
Seasands Beacon N.N.E.
Peliworm Tower E.N E. 1-3 d N.
Ording Church S E. by E. 1-4th E.
On the side of the entrance buoy may be read "Neves
Fahrwasser," in largo white letters, and on the bottom
" Hever."

Besides the said entrance buoy, this channel is marked
out with 20 black buoys, marked on the side with the suc-
cessive numbers No. 1 to 20 included, and 11 white buoys,
marked on the side with the letters A to L successively,
both included; furthermore, a black and white chequered
buoy, and a polo beacon on the high sand south of South-
fell (Sydfoll). _ _

On the bar north of and close to the buoys No. 1 to No.
2, there is 4 fathoms at low water.

From the entrance buoy the steering is East past the
black buoys No. 1 to No. 2, the bar is then cleared, and
6 fathoms water is found. The Channel does not continue
to deepen more than 10 to 12 fathoms.
The black buoys are to be kept on the starboard, and the
white on the larboard side.
In the nighbourhood of Halliger Sydfoll, between the
White Buoy H and No. 13, is the shallowest part with 13
feet at low water.

Opposite the Black Buoy No. 10 lies the Black.and White
Chequered Buoy, which is to be kept on the larboard side
in sailing up to Husum, but is to be kept on the starboard
side by the ships proceeding through the Pellworm Chan'
nel, to seek anchorage under Sudervog, Hallig, or Pell-
worm.
In making this channel it must be observed that the
aforesaid entrance Buoy which lies 19,1 quarter miles (19k
English miles) from Helgoland, is made by keeping Hel-
goland in W. by S. 1-3 d S. in standing in.
If the coast is made to the North or South of the above
line, the entrance buoy is to be found by steering in e
Southernly or Northernly direction in five to six fathoms
water ; coming from the North, the Seasands Becon, and
from the South the St. Peter Downs will serve as
guidance.

In the former buoyed off Hever Channel, the bar of
which has a depth of 11 foot at low water, a Black Buoy
with a balloon, will be retained inside the bar, at the
same spot where the Black Buoy No. 2 formerly laid ; far•
ther the former Black Buoys Nos. 5 and 6, the White
Buoy A, and a floating Beacon on the end of the Middle-
pladen: _

At the Black Buoy No. 10, is the cross passage for the
smaller vessels, desirous of using the old channel inside
the Quage-ground.
