POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.—DanieI Cayley and Wm. Donovan
were charged with robbing Mr. Davies, of 112, Alders-
gate-street.

Prosecutor said he was passing the end of Fan-street,
and while endeavouring to get through a crowd that was
collected there he heard n, click at his pocket, and imme-
diately on turning round he saw Cayley in the act of
passing his watch behind to a third party. It was so
rapidly done that witness saw there was no chance of re-
covering his watch, so he secured the prisoner Cayley,
who instantly struck him violently on the left eye, while
his companions surrounded them and struck prosecutor
on the right eye and on the mouth. They then jumped
upon the prosecutor's arm to make him release his hold
of Cayley, and threw him on the ground, but what they
did to him then he did not remember, although his right
leg was severely injured in the struggle that afterwards
took place. Donovan was the first who interfered, and,
with the assistance of his party, succeeded in making the
rescue.

Inspector Teague said he saw Cayley making his way
out of the crowd and took him into custody. He appre-
hended Donovan in bed on the following morning.
It was thought expedient for the ends of justice not to
offer more evidence on this occasion, and prisoners were
remanded.

MARLBOROUGH- STREET. Priscilla Poidea
was charged with havinv obtained a situation in the
establishment of W. R. Davis, Esq., of Croft Castle,
Herefordshire, by means of a false character.
_ _

•
Mr. Davies said, on Thursday last the prisoner applied
to Mrs. Davies, at Long's Hotel, for the situation of
cook and housekeeper. The prisoner said she had lived
in Scotland with a family named Cunningham. The
prisoner gave as Mrs. Cunningham's address, Bedford
Hotel, Brighton, and a letter was sent to that direction
having reference to the prisoner's character. An answer
was received, and when the prisoner called again, she
was told her character was satisfactory, and she was
then engaged. Having suspicion that the letter in
reply to his inquiries was not quite correct, he caused
inquiry to be made, and having ascertained that no one
of the name of Cunningham had been at the Bedford
Hotel, he made the police acquainted with the circum-
stances of the case, and caused the prisoner to be taken
into custody.

The prisoner, in defence, denied saying that Mrs.
Cunningham lived at the Bedford Hotel. She had lived
with Mr. Cunningham, who had given her character to
Mrs. Davies, but she did not know Mrs. Cunningham's
present address.

- Mrs. Davies stated to the court what passed between
herself and the prisoner at the interview on Wednesday
or Thursday last. The prisoner said she had lived with
a family in Scotland named Cunningham, who kept a
large establishment ; that she left her place because she
did not like Scotland ; arid that her late mistress would
give her character, and had given her a recommendation,
which she brought the following day. The prisoner
further said that Mrs. Cunningham was staving at the
Bedford Hotel, Brighton, and begged her not to write
for her character until she had apprised Mrs. Cunning-
ham, who was a very particular lady, that she had found
a place likely to suit her.
_ _

Mr. Bingham said he would give the prisoner another
week either to produce Mrs. Cunningham or her real
address.

MEETING OF DIRECTORS AND OTHERS
INTERESTED IN RAILWAYS.

At a meeting of directors and others interested in
railway companies, held at the King's Arms, Palace-
yard, Westminster, 30th March, 1854, Marquis of
Chandos, M.P., in the chair.

On the motion of the Earl of LONSDALE, seconded by
Mr. FENTON, it was resolved—

"That the clauses issued by the general committee on
railway and canal bills (without hearing any of the par-
ties interested) for the guidance of the sub-committees—
and to be inserted in all bills--vitally affecting as they
do 300,000,000 of property, demand the most serious
consideration of all railway companies and their share-
holders ; and that if any such alterations in the
existing law as are proposed by those clauses are
to be considered by the Legislature, they ought to form
the subject of a general bill applicable to all companies ;
and that it would be most unfair to the great interests
involved if a mode of legislation should be adopted which,
though professedly applied to particular cases, will have
the effect of a general law.

On the motion of Mr. LEE3IAN, seconded by Mr. AN-
DERTON, it was resolved,

"That a committee be appointed, to consist of the
chairman and deputy-chairman of each railway com-
pany (with power to add to their number), to take such
steps as may be considered necessary for bringing the
proposed alterations of the law fully and fairly under
the consideration of Parliament.

The meeting adjourned to Saturday next, the Ist of
April, at 12 o'clock precisely.

THE MURDER AND SUICIDE IN THE
REGENT'S PARK.

A letter has been found on the mantel shelf of the
room occupied by James Martin, which throws consi-
derable light upon the motives of the shocking crime
reported yesterday. The letter, which is in the first
place addressed to Mr. Carter, of William-street, Re-
gent's-park, Martin's landlord, is as follows :
"March 28, 1854, 9 o'clock, p.m.

"Mr. Carter,
"Sir,—l am extremely sorry the settling of my rent to-
morrow will be in a way that you little think of, which
must be by your taking my goods, and I hope you will find
sufficient to pay you. I find it is impossible for me any
longer to work so as to be able to keep myself, and I have
no wish to live on the labour of others. The asthma
which I am troubled with precludes me from working to
do any good, more than the few warm months of summer.
My eyes are likewise failing very fast, so that I have
made up ray mind to leave this world ; and, as you know,
sir, the dreadful state of mind my wife is sure to be in if
I leave her, I have made up my mind that she shall go
with me.

" To ray children
" I dare say you will censure me for the rash act which I
am about to commit, but if you thick it over seriously
you must know that your mother will be better off a great
deal than being left behind me. Hoping you will get over
the shock with as much firmness as you can,
" I remain, dear children, your affectionate father,
" JAMES MARTIN."
"To Mr. Carter. —I remain, sir, yours most respectfully,
and sincerely thank you for all favours.—J. M.
" To my very particular friend, Mr. Reid, of William.
street.—Good bye.—J. M."

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills the greatest
wonder of modern times.—They correct bile, prevent
flatulency, cleanse the liver, purify the system, renovate
the debilitated, strengthen the stomach, increase, the
appetite, invigorate the nerves, promote health, and re-
instate the weak to an ardour of feeling never before ex-
perienced. Thd extraordinary daily sales of these in-
valuable pills in all parts of the globe astonish e% erbody,
convincing them that there is no other medicine in ex-
istence equal to Holloway's pills for removing the com-
plaints which are incidental to the human race ; they
are, indeed, a blessing to the afflicted, and a boon to
those who suffer from any disorder, internal or external.
—Sold by all druggist, and at Professor Holloway's
Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—TELESCOPES.—IierMajeSty'S
Royal Letters Patent, for valuable and extraordinary im-
provements in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes
to know the distances of objects viewed through them—
of
great importance to the army and navy. Messrs. S. and
B. Solomons, opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly.
Observe—opposite the York Hotel.—Those telescopes pos-
sess such extraordinary powers that some, 3,i inches, with
an extra eye-piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons,
Saturn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same tele-
scope can be seen a person's countenance three miles
and a half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles.
They supersede every other kind for the waistcoat-pocket,
and aro of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers
accordingly.— The Royal Exhibition, 1851. —Small glass
for the waistcoat-pocket. A valuable, newly invented, very
small, powerful waistcoat-pocket glass the size of a walnut,
by which a person can be seen and known I,i mile distant ;
they answer every purpose on the race-course, at the
opera-houses, country scenery, and ships are clearly seen
at 12 to 14 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-
stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers,
and tourists. Opera and race-course glasses, with wonderful
power ; an object can be clearly seen from 10 to 12 miles
distant. Newly-invented Spectacles ; immediately they
are placed before extremely imperfect vision, every
object becomes clear and distinct; the most aged, de-
fective sight is brought to its youthful, natural, and ori-
ginal state. Deafness—Now Discovery—The Organic Vi
brator, au extraordinary powerful, small, newly-invented
instrument, for Deafness, entirely different from all others,
to surpass anything of the kind that has been, or pro-
bably ever can be, produced. Being of the same
colour as the skin, is not perceptible ; it enables deaf
persons to hear distinctly at church and at public as-
semblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in
the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist-
ance that possibly•could be desired.-39, Alberatizjoitregt,

The race for the Nene Stakes, intended to be run on
the first day, was off by consent.
The weather, though not so fine as on the previous
day, was altogether favourable, and from first to last the
meeting was eminently successful.
To the Race Committee and to Mr. Marshall, the in-
defatigable Clerk of the Course, all praise is due. We
understand that it is in contemplation to extend the
meeting next year to three days ; the original fixtures
are, however, to be kept intact, and an entirely new pro-
gramme modelled for the third day, the leading feature
of which will be a New Handicap Shakes, with liberal
amount of money added from the Fund. Plenty of
money is in hand to render the additional day extremely
attractive. Considerable improvements at the Stand
are also projected.
Owing to the sudden indisposition of Mr. Manning,
whilst en route to Northampton Mr. Clark, the Judge,
combined the duties of Clerk of the Scales with his own,
and we need scarcely add, that in his double capacity
his services were most efficient.
The stewards for next year are the Earl of Hopetonn,
Earl Wilton, and J. M. Stanley, Esq.
