POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

This day being the anniversary of the coronation of
her Majesty, was observed at this port as a general holi-
day. At twelve the garrison fired a Royal Salute from
the platform battery, which was taken up by the Vic-
tory, guardship ; when, on the second g►un being fired,
the whole of the squadron at Spithead commenced a
Royal salute, which from their numbers must have given
the landsmen a small idea of an action at sea. The un-
propritious state of the weather prevented the demon-
stration that otherwise would have taken place in
"dressing ships," and a feu de joie from the garrison.
It is still blowing half a gale from W.S.W.
The Nerbudda, 12, Commander Boyd, was paid ad-
vance at Spithead yesterday, and only awaits the mode-
ration of the gale to sail for the West India station.
The Elfin, Royal dispatch yacht, Master-Commander
Balliston, and the Prince of Wales's fishing-boat are
ready for undocking, both having been elegantly re-
embellished in keeping with the Victoria and Albert
and Fairy.
The Spithead fleet has completed four months' provi-
sions for sea service.

BOW-STREET.—Daniel Donoghue was brought be-
fore Mr. Henry to answer the charge of bigamy.
Jane Murray, the second wife (a woman of respectable
appearance proved that she was married to the defend-
ant at Clapham church in May last, and she had since
ascertained that he had a wife living, to whom he was
married about five years ago. Owing to his ill-treat
meat, witness had been compelled to leave him, and she
had taken a lodging for the present in King-street,
Westminster. lie followed her up, however, and she
was driven to appeal to his worship for protection from
his violence. She was willing to support herself and
his two little orphan children, as she had done for a long
time past by working hard day and night ; and if he
would keep away from her, and restore the furniture
which he had taken from her, and which was her pro-
perty, she did not wish to prefer any charge against him.
Mr. Henry, seeing that the witness had a black eye
and other marks of ill-usage upon her face, inquired how
they were occasioned ?
Witness replied that they were occasioned by his
kicks ; but she had no wish to have him punished if he
would promise not to molest her again.
Inspector Durkin, of the A division, handed up a cer-
tificate of the previous marriage, and said that the
woman had promised to attend, but there had not been
time to complete the evidence.
The prosecutrix stated that the defendant's first wife
was dead. The certificate produced related to his second

marriage.
The wife here entered the court, but she was not ex-
amined, her evidence being inadmissible.
The defendant, who seemed to treat the case with
great heartlessness, said that the prosecutrix had nothing
to complain of. She lived with two or three years before
they were married, and it was only by her boring him
that be ever consented to marry her at all. As for
beating her, he certainly did give her a little chastise-
ment, that was all.
Mr. Henry remanded him for further examination.

A curious application was made to Mr. Hall, just
before the closing of the court. A young man; respect-
ably dressed, stated that he was married on Monday
morning at Islington church, and they had scarcely got
out of the church when his bride threw her wedding-ring
in his face, declared she would not have him, and re-
turned home to her friends. What was he to do ? Could
he not have a summons to compel her to live with him ?
Mr. Hall regretted that he had no control over the
young lady, and as the marriage had not been consum-
mated, the applicant could hardly go into the ecclesias-
tical courts for the restitution of conjugal rights. The
application was certainly a novel one. Men came to
the court every day to try and get rid of their wives, and
there had been two such appeals to him that very after-
noon ; but unfortunately they never had a man implor-
ing to have his wife restored to him.

HAMMERSMITH.—A very respectably-attired and
genteel-looking young woman, named Mary Doggett,
who was described in the police-sheet as a servant, was
brought before Mr. Beadon and placed in the dock on
the charge of stealing a silver watch and chain, belong-
ing to a young man named John Hughes, under the
following very extraordinary circumstances :
The prosecutor, a tall, athletic young man, on being
sworn, said that he was in the service of his father, who
had charge of some premises and land belonging to a
gentleman named Lucas, at Greenford, in Middlesex.
The prisoner had been employed by his father to assist
in haymaking during the last nine days, and during that
time she slept in his father's house. On Monday morn-
ing when witness left his chamber his watch and chain
were then quite safe, and in the latter part of the day
he found they were gone.
Mr. Beadon—ls the watch found

The prosecutor—Yes, sir ; it was found upon the
young woman. She was discharged from my father's on
Saturday night.

The prisoner—l left on Sunday morning, John.
The prosecutor: She came to my father's house on
Monday, and said she wanted something she had left
behind. She went upstairs, and I afterwards missed
my watch. My father wanted to pay the prisoner is.
per day for the time she was in his service, but she was
dissatisfied with that sum.

The prisoner : I told him I had the watch when I
left. • 1
Mr. Beadon : Is that so ?—The prosecutor : Yes, sir ;
she told me she had the watch.

The prisoner : You know you gave me tho watch,
John.

Mr. Beadon (with great surprise) : There is some-
thing more in this case than there first appeared. His
worship then asked the prosecutor if he could give any
reason why she took the watch ?—The prosecutor : I
cannot give any reason, sir.
Mr. Beadon : Cannot you form an opinion I—The
prosecutor : I do not know, sir.
Tho prisoner here interrupted the examination, and
said they had been keeping company for some time, and
he gave her the watch and chain.
Mr. Beadon : Have you been paying your addresses
to her ?—The prosecutor said he had been keeping com-
pany with her for a short time.
Mr. Beadon (with indignation)—The prisoner is dis-
charged. It was most disgraceful conduct on the part
of the prosecutor, and it is a pity such a case was ever
brought into court. Go about your business, and leave
the court directly. Get down, sir.
The prosecutor immediately retired, and was soon
some distance from the court.

The prisoner stepped from the dock crying most bit-
terly, and said she was to have been married to the
prosecutor on Monday last ; the banns had been pub-
lished, and everything was arranged for their union, but
it was broken off. His father had been scandalising her
character, and she did not know what she was to do.
Mr. Beadon said, under the circumstances, if she
valued her character, he thought the watch should be
given up to the prosecutor, for it was pretty clear the
father was not agreeable to their acquaintance.
His worship then made an order for the watch to be
delivered up to the prosecutor, upon his paying the ex-
penses for her conveyance to that court and back to
Greenford.

PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 28.

The prisoner thanked his worship for his kind inter.
ference, and then left the court.

SHEERNESS, JUNE 28.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

The official report says : The deaths registered in
London in the week that ended last Saturday were 990,
and show an increase on the return of the previous
week. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years
1843-52 the average number was 976, which, if raised
in proportion to increase of population, becomes 1,074.
Hence it appears that the actual mortality of last week
is less than the estimated amount by 84.
On a comparison of the results of the last two weeks
a small increase is observed in all the more important
classes of disease, except of "diseases of the respiratory
organs," which shows a decrease from 127 cases to 116.
Zymotic diseases in the aggregate rose from 208 to 214;
amongst these diarrhoea increased from 24 to 33, typhus
from 30 to 52 ; while measles fell from 20 to 15, scarla-
tina from 39 to 27, hooping-cough from 67 to 56.
The following three cases of cholera were registered in
the week :—At Fulham, 3, Willow-place, North-end,
on 18th June, the daughter of a brickmaker, "cholera
infantum." At 2, Princes-street, Spitalfields, on 24th
June, the daughter of a pencil-case maker, aged 6 months,
"cholera infantum (3 days)." In the sub-district of St.
Mary (St. George in the East), at 9, Severne-street, on
19th June, a coalwhipper, aged 33 years, died of
" cholera (13 hours)."
Mr. Stone, the Registrar of Brompton sub-district,
says :—" The occupier of No. 6, Sloane-place called on
me this week, and stated that his house is rendered
highly prejudicial to health from defective drainage, ag-
gravated by a cowshed in clOse proximity to his dwell-
ing. All the houses are more or less similarly affected.
Of the comparatively few deaths in this district from
cholera in 1849, one occurrvl in the next house, No. 5.
On that occasion and also subsequently, I have called
attention to the continued existence of this nuisance.
Sloane-place, appears to be entirely neglected as regards
sanitary improvements."
Six deaths occurred between the 19th and 24th June
inclusive in the London Fever Hospital, Islington. Mr.
Watts, the registrar, states that "there has been a great
influx of cases into this hospital for some time past ;
120 patients now occupy beds in the wards ; many are
convalescent, and their support falls heavily on the funds
of the establishment. The annual subscriptions have
been decreasing for some years, while the accommoda-
tion has been much extended."

The Desperate, 8 guns, screw steam-sloop, Captain
William W. Chambers, made her number on demand at
8.30 p.m., yesterday, at 9 p.m. anchored at the Great
Nore, and at 8 a.m. this day came into harbour from
the Arctic expedition. The Desperate left the Phcenix,
8 guns, screw steam-sloop, Commander Edward A.
Inglefield, and the Diligence transport, within about 15
miles of Cape Farewell, on the 19th inst. It being a
dead calm at the time, the Desperate communicated
with the Phoenix and Diligence through the day, receiv-
ing all letters and official dispatches from them. She
brings home three sick seamen from the Phcenix. On
parting company, the Phcenix took the Diligence in tow,
and loud and many were the hearty cheers given by
each,until sound was distanced. About seven days pre-
vious to their parting company with the Phcenix an dDili-
gence, the squadron fell in with a very heavy gale of wind,
when the paddle-wheel steam-sloop Barracouta, Com-
mander George Parker, with the Breadalbane in tow,
parted company from the Phcenix, Desperate, and Dili-
gene, and was not seen again either on the outward or
homeward passage of the Desperate. The squadron fell in
with a great number of icebergs of considerable altitude,
and were for several days previous making their head-
way through immense masses of floating field-ice. With
the exception of the three seamen sent home by the
Desperate, the health of the officers and seamen on
board the Phcenix and Diligence was excellent, and the
parting company proved them in high spirits. There
were a number of whales seen, all of which were old
fish, and extremely large. The Desperate came home
under canvas, in consequence of having exhausted her
fuel, within out 12 hours' consumption.
The screw steam-vessels proved moat decidedly advan-
tageous in making her way through the loose floating
ice, the body of the ship clearing a course for the full
and free action of the screw propeller, while the floats of
the paddle-wheels were constantly requiring the stopping
of the engines to replace defective floats, unable to con-
tend with the heavy masses of floating ice alongside.
This being the day fixed for the anniversary of her
Majesty's coronation, all ships in commission dressed
ship at 8 a.m., and at noon Royal salutes were fired
from the Waterloo, Monarch, and Horatio. The Port
saluted also. The saluting company was under the
command of Lieutenant W. Cary, R.A., and a scene of
some considerable confusion took place in consequence
of the tubes in nearly every gun missing fire ; the result
was, that nothing like saluting time could be kept, and
the last gun making up the Royal salute was not fired
for nearly two minutes after the proper half-minute
saluting time. It appears the Ordnance are expending
all their old stores, much to the annoyance of those
whose duty it is to command saluting companies.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVER-
HAMPTON.

A special general meeting of the proprietors in the
above company was held yesterday at the London
Tavern. Colonel Rushout took the chair.

The SECRETARY read the notice convening the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN said the object of the meeting was to
take into consideration the bill before Parliament. This
was composed of three measures, but two only of these
the directors proposed to the shareholders to prosecute.
The Stourbridge Extension line was one which nobody
at nll acquainted with Stourbridge could require any in-
formation to satisfy them as to its desirableness. It was
one mile, two furlongs, and two chains in length. It would
connect the line at Stourbridge with the town, the cost of
which was estimated at 30,0001. It was a line the direc-
tors unanimously advised them to proceed with. Another
line was the Kingswinford Branch, two miles, three fur-
longs, five chains in length. This branch was originally
contemplated by a bill of the year 1845, Now, an addi-
tion was made to that line of five furlongs ; therefore,
in the whole, it was three miles long, the estimated cost
of which would 'be 85,0001. This the directors also ad-
vised them to carry out, as it would touch' very rich
mineral districts, and went to Oak Farm. Ho (the
chairman) now came to the Stratford Extension Bill.
That, for several reasons, it was not considered advisable
to pursue. He might say also that there was one new
clause in the act, as in all railway acts passed, now
brought in by the President of the Board of Trade,
which prevents the payment of any dividends to share-
holders if the bill is not carried into operation within
the time specified in that bill. For instance, they had
three years for the purchase of land and four years
for the completion of works. Therefore, accord.
ing to the clause inserted in all bills, they must finish
their branches within four years, otherwise the dividends
would be stopped. It was the first time that clause had
been brought in. The 23d clause of the bill also provided
that stock may be raised in preference and ordinary
shares, as three-fifths of the proprietors present, person.
ally or by proxy, might determine. He would conclude
by moving the following resolution :—" That this meet-
ing do approve of the bill now submitted to the proprie-
tors, which is entitled as follows :-4 An act to extend
the powers limited for completing, and for purchasing,
lands for the Stratford-upon-Avon and Kingswinford
branche3, and the Oxford and Wolverhampton Railway,
and to extend such respective branches ; to construct a
branch ;tilway to Stourbridge ; and to authorise the
raising of certain sums of money by preferential shares,
and for other purposes."'
The resolution having been seconded,
Mr. PARSONS, after reading the heads of the bill, pro-
ceeded to remark upon the three proposed branches. The
Steurbridge was 14 mile, and it was determined that this
should be completed. The traffic upon this branch pro-
mised well, owing to the large works there. Foster's
works were there, and the quantity of iron and coal
which they receive is about 50,000 tons- a year. The
Kingswinford branch was authorised in the year 1845,
and he believed they would have a very ample traffic
upon it. The Stratford branch was authorised by an
act in 1846, the powers of which were allowed to
lapse. They entered into a conditional purchase
in 1852, but the inhabitants of Stratford were not
satisfied to remain at the mercy of the Worcester.
and Wolverhampton Company, and a bill had gone
through the Commons to enable the London and North
Western to make a line from Leamington to Stratford-
upon-Avon, the effect of which would be to shorten
their branch. There had been considerable discussion
among the board as to the propriety of proceeding with
that branch. They were in a position honourably to
abandon the branch, but before they did so he (Mr.
Parsons) would remind them of the effect of so doing.
The cost of the line had been stated at 120,0001., to be
raised by preference shares. The cost might be dimi-
nished to 80,0001., for a double line of railway, whereas
the London and North Western on their works proposed a
single line. He warned them particularly not, by any act
they might do at that meeting, to put it out of the
power of the directors to proceed with the branch,
should subsequent deliberations cause them to come to
the conclusion that such a step would be advisable,
since the London and North-Western wanted by means
of their line to get into South Wales.
Mr. THORPE, one of the directors, explained the rea-
sons which influenced them in coming to the determina-
tion to proceed with the two branches only, but had no
objection to the powers lying in abeyance.
The resolution was then put and carried, and a vote of
thanks having been passed to the chairman, the meeting
separated.

At 4, Hill-street, Peckham, on 20th June, a female,
aged 74 years, died of "gastric fever (about 6 weeks)."
The medical attendant remarks in his certificate :—" No
drainage in the street. Ventilation of the houses pre-
vented by the smoke from the chimney of a brewery
lately built."
In the sub-district of St. Nicholas, Deptford, at 7,
Rope-walk, on 23rd June, the son of a labourer, aged 4
years, died of a "fit from poison of scarlatina (14
hours)." The medical attendant of this case makes the
following note : "Scarlatina of the most malignant kind
prevails in this locality ;" and Mr. Paine, the registrar,
adds :—" I have registered three deaths in one house
which occurred within four days. The place is nar-
row and very confined. The houses are small, mostly
occupied by two or more families, and without drainage."
On 19th June, at 18, Little George-street, sub-dis-
trict of Somers-town, the son of a porter, aged 2 years,
died of "exhaustion from disease produced by a poi-
sonous atmosphere." Post mortem.. Inquest. The
medical man (says Mr. Matthews, the Registrar) stated
that it arose from the burial-ground of St. James's, the
back rooms being close to the churchyard.
In the sub-district South St. Giles-in-the-Fields, at

34, Parker-street, on 22nd June, a carman, aged 27
years, died of typhus. Mr. Faulkner, the Registrar,
writes as follows : "I am informed that there is a
dreadful smell in this house, an open privy is in the yard
which is very close, and overrun with rats which come
from a sausage manufactory next door. The drains are
also very offensive. The death occurred on the ground
floor where the deceased would of course be more ex-
posed to the poisonous atmosphere. He was a fine
healthy young man."
At 2, Three-pigeon-court, Aldgate, on 18th June, the
son of a shoemaker, aged 4 years, died of "marasmus,
through neglect (5 days)." The medical attendant adds
on the back of his certificate : "This child was brought
to me in a dying state in' a disgustingly filthy condition
(as was also the mother). Disease and neglect have
done their work. It is my opinion that I Aver should
have seen the child at all but for the certificate of
death." Mr. Spencer, the registrar, adds : " There are
three houses in the court in a close situation and badly
ventilated, also in a bad condition."
At 88, Beresford-street, Woolwich, on the 17th June,
a tailor, aged 28 years, died of "inflammation of the
brain." Mr. Rixon, the registrar, adds : "This indivi-
dual was in the militia, and returned from a month's
drill at Maidstone to his house on the Bth June (stop-
ping one day at Gravesend from illness). His wife states
that he complained very much of pains in the head dur-
ing the latter days of his drill from exposure to a hot
sun. On his return he managed to do a little work till
the 14th June, on which day he was confined to his
bed, and died on the 17th June."

In King's College Hospital, a servant, aged 32 years,
died on the 18th of June of " palsy dependent on lead-
poisoning ' • gout, suppression of urine." He was brought
from 26, Gough-street, Clerkenwell. On the medical
certificate it is mentioned that "this man was a pot-
man, and attributes his lead palsy to cleaning pewter
pots. The superficial extensor muscles of both arms
very pale, almost white. The other muscles their nor-
mal colour."
At 24, Great Pultoney-street, on 20th June, a baron
died of " decay of nature" at the age (as registered) of
100 years. '
The following additional cases are selected from the
returns of the week :a-At the Crompton Arms, Cuth-
bert-street, Paddington, a licensed victualler, aged 50
years, died on 19th Juno of " carbuncle (9 weeks.)" A
gentleman, aged 67 years, " large carbuncle (7 weeks),
retention of urine, exhaustion." In St. Saviour, at 39,
Surrey-row, on 21st June, a plumber, aged 59 years,
" paralysis ; carbuncle (14 days)." The daughter of a
tailor, aged 23 years, died of " epilepsy (18 years), pul-
monary apoplexy (12 hours), obliteration of jugular vein
from cicatrisation- after burn." A bootmaker, aged 57
years, was accidentally suffocated by impaction of a
piece of beef in the glottis." Post most. The son of a
woollen-draper, aged 14 years, died from " acute peri-
tonitis (6 days), occasioned by a small substance getting
into the appendix mei, producing inflammation in
that cavity." Post wort. Two women died on
21st June of typhus, , in the workhouse' Bethnal-
green. A gentleman, aged 47 years, died from
" accidentally swallowing an embrocation composed
of laudanum and ammonia (4 days)." A woman,
aged 49 years, died of " trismus ; hernia ; femoral ;
strangulation (6 days)." The son of an oil-skin manu-
facturer, aged 3 months, died of " herpes (from birth),
convulsions (one hour)." A woman, aged 62 years, died
of " gastro-hepatic derangement, biiiary vomiting (2
days), rupture of stotlnch.'
Last week the births of 805 boys and 740 girls, in all
1,545 children, were registered in London. The average
number in eight corresponding weeks of the years 1845-52
was 1,442.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.597 in. The
mean temperature - was 57•4 deg., which is 3'l deg.
below the average of the same week in 38 years. The
mean daily temperature was below the average on every
day, except Friday and Saturday, and this depression
on Monday and Tuesday amounted to more than 7 deg.
The highest temperature was 78-7 deg., and occurred on
Tuesday. The mean difference between the dew point
temperature and air temperature in the week was 7•7
deg. ; the greatest difference was 20.1 deg., and occurred
on Friday ; the least differences were 1.8 deg. and 1.5
deg. on Wednesday and Friday. The wind blew from

A MODERN BRIGAND.—The Union du Var publishes
from Nice interesting details of the arrest of a cele-
brated brigand, Pietro Spina, who, for several years
past, has spread terrorand desolation in the'town and pro-
vince of Cuneo (Piedmont) ; he has just been arrested by
four resolute gendarmes of Limona, a village situated in
one of the valleys which skirt the other side of the Mari-
time Alps. Pietro was a man of athletic form, and
endowed with great muscular strength. His fea-
tures were remarkably handsome, and he was a great
favourite with the fair sex even among the wives and
sisters of the gendarmes, who gave him intelligence
when danger was threatening him. His favourite, how-
ever, was a young girl, named Cecchina, of great beauty,
and very fond of dress and good living. The Count
d'Aspromonte, captain of the gendarmes, hearing of this
penchant of Cecchina, gained her over by presents,
and at length by inviting her to a dinner, in which
the champagne of the country was not spared, she
was induced to make important revelations, and pro-
mised like Dalila to betray her Samson. She arranged
with the gendarmes that they should follow her at a dis-
tance when she went to carry provisions to Pietro, and
soon after she had entered the cave in which he had
found refuge, and while he was enjoying the food she
bad procured for him, the four gendarmes rushed in,
and secured him, but not without a desperate struggle.
He was heavily chained, and conveyed to Cuneo, to
await his trial.

A HINT.—It is not generally known that the leaves
of geraniums are an excellent application for cuts, where
the skin is rubbed off, and other wounds of that kind.
One or two leaves must be bruised and applied on linen
to the part, and the wound will become cicatrised in a
very short time.—Galignani's Messenger.
[ADVERTISEMENT.] —HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND
PILLS ARE SURPRISING REMEDIES FOR THE CURE OF
BAD LEGS.—Mrs. Sarah Ashby, of Knowsley, had been
a sufferer for a considerable time from a bad leg of a very
alarn ling description. Several medical gentlemen at-
tench Al her, and she had recouso also to other remedies
usually adopted in such cases, but all were of no avail,
and after being reduced to a very distressing condition
from. continual pain and suffering, she was induced to
try Holloway's Oinment and Pills, and these astonish-
ing medicines effected a perfect cure in a comparatively
short time by strictly following the directions given with
them. She has continued in excellent health ever since.
