POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MA RLB ORO UGH- S TREET.
Friday Mr. Wright. a performer at the S. James's
Theatre, appeared before Mr. DYER and Mr. CONANT to an-
swer a charge of assault made by his wife. The same parties
were at the office a short time ago on account of their disa-
greements. It then came out that they lived apart, and that
the wife had borne the husband one child, which she kept pos-
session of, as it was not more than a few months old. Mr.
Wright mentioned on that occasion that his principal reason
for separating from his wife wag because he had cohabited with
her for some time before her marriage.
Mrs. Wright admitted this to be true, and added that before
and after marriage she had supplied Mr. Wright with money,
and that after he had spent the whole of her little property he
had abandoned her. _ _

A very sapient-looking personage here stepped forward to
give evidence.
Mr. CONANT—Do you know anything respecting the be-
haviour of the complainant to her child? Witness—l do, in-
deed. I know enough to satisfy the minds of the Bench on
that head. I should have rather wished not to be called upon
for my testimony, but having been called upon, why, I shall
not hesitate to state all the facts within my own knowledge.
Being the father of a family, and also a married man, and
with ample opportunities of knowing all about the manage-
ment of a young family, I can venture to affirm that I should'
not like Mrs. Wright to nurse one of my own children.
Mr. CONANT-I3ut can you not give some reason? Is she
fond of the child ? Witness—Oh, yes ; I can't deny that ;
but, as I have before said, being the father of a family and also
a married man, I can safely assert that if the child were mine,
which I assure it is not. I would sooner have my own wife
nurse it than anybody else.
Mr. CONANT remarked that the witness did not appear, by
his testimony, to have thrown much light on the matter.
Mrs. Wright called a respectable-looking woman who lived
in the same house with her, to speak as to her conduct towards
the child.

The witness said a more attentive or a more tender mother
than Mrs. Wright could not be.
Mrs. Wright said her fear was that her husband would go
off to America, and take the child with him. She had been
informed it was his intention to leave England shortly.
Mr. CONANT (addressing Mr. Wright) told him that his
conduct was unfeeling►, both towards the infant and its mother,
in separating them. In his public situation character ought
to be of some consequence, and such a transaction as he had
been a party to could not operate to his advantage.
Mrs. Wright could bear anything but the loss of her infant.
If the child was not restored she would go to St. James's
Theatre, and in the face of the audience publicly demand it
from her husband.
Mr. DYER said the Bench had no power to order the child
to be given up. lie should recommend some mutual fricad to
interfere, in order to procure an adjustment of tho business.—
The defendant was then held to bail.

Q UEEN- 8 Q UA RE.
George Howard and Fanny Price were on Friday placed at
the bar, and separately examined, charged with having stolen
a quantity of jewellery, valued at upwards of 504, the property
of Thomas Frederick Elliot, Esq , a gentleman holding a
high situation in the Colonial Office, nearly related, we believe,
to the Earl of Minto. The prisoners were remanded until
Tuesday, and the inspector was directed to make every in-
quiry with regard to the property.

DUBLIN REGISTRY.—We blush for the Liberal
freeholders of the county of Dublin, whon we announce that
at the registration on Saturday but one claimant was found to
come forward, although notice had beer. served for hundreds
duly qualified. The enemy was on the alert, and registered
15. We trust that the neglect will be atoned for without
delay. There occurred a curious case—a Conservative
claimant seeking to qualify on an inoperative lease, and out of
lands as to the locality of which he was ignorant.—Pilot.
GENERAL WASHINGTON.—The remains of this
illustrious man, the father and saviour of his country, were re-
cently placed in the sarcophagus made by Mr. Struthers of
this city, from whom we learn that when the vault and coffin
were opened, the sacred form of Washington was discovered in
wonderful state of preservation. The high, pale brow wore a
calm and serene expression ; and the lips, pressed still together,
had a grave and solemn smile, such as they doubtless wore
when the first President gave up his blameless mortal life for
an immortal existence—
" When his soft breath, with pain,
Was yielded to the elements again."
Tho impressive aspect of the great departed overpowered Om
man whose lot it was to transfer the hallowed dust to its last
tenement, and he was unable to conceal his emotions. Ho
placed his hand upon the ample forehead, once highest in the
ranks of bsttle, or throbbing with the cares of an infant em-
pire ; and he lamented, we doubt not, that the voice of fame
could not provoke that silent clay to life again, or pour its
tones of revival into the dull cold ear of death. The last act
of patriotic sepulture was- thus consummated, and the figure,
which we can scarcely dissociate from an apotheosis, con-
signed to its low, dim, mansion, to be seen no more until mortal
shall put on immortality, and the bright garments of endless
corruption.—Philadelphia Gazette.
The first public performance of Madame Dulcken
since her appointment of pianists to the Queen created quite
a furore in Bath on Wednesday last, and is spoken of by
contemporary critic in the following manner :—" What are we
to say of Madame Dulcken ? The highest encomiums our me-
tropolitan contemporaries have bestowed fall short of the opi-
nion we wish to express of this lady's magnificent perform-
ance. Weber's concert-stuck was a most felicitous choice.
as it aff,rds ample opportunity to exhibit her extraordinary
mechanical powers, whilst it belongs to that high order of
composition calling into action the deepest feeling and pathos."
JUVENILE TEMPTATION.—In his schoolmas-
ter's garden there was a pear tree that produced very fine
fruit, which was in the highest degree tempting to the bug.
and which they considered as their lawful booty : but the
difficulty was how to get at them. The boldest were afraid
to make the attempt. Young Nelson offered to undertake the
hazardous enterprise : his companions lowered him down by
means of sheets from the window of their bedroom, and, after
he had stripped the tree, drew him up with the pears, which
he divided among his schoolfellows, without reserving ono
for himself. I only took them,' he said, because all the
other boys were afraid.'—Naval Keepsake for 1838, con-
taining a Life of Nelson, by the Old Sailor.
