POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL. —John Gorrod, of 77, Tower-street,
Waterloo-road, was summoned by Emma Maria Laidler,
for neglecting to contribute towards the support of his
alleged illegitimate male child.
The complainant stated that the defendant's first wife
was her sister, and had been dead two years when she
(complainant) married him, not knowing that, under the
existing state of the law in that respect, the contract was
illegal. The defendant had subsequently repudiated his
liability to support her, and she now applied that an
order might be made to compel him to support his child.
The defendant admitted the paternity of the child, and
expressed his willingness to contribute any amount the
magistrate might order towards its support.
Mr. Alderman Finnis said this was a very distressing
case. The complainant, who appeared a very respectable
young woman, had been seduced by the defendant under
circumstances of a peculiar nature, and he considered the
defendant's conduct, in taking advantage of the com-
plainant's ignorance as to the validity of the marriage,
extremely disgraceful.
The usual order for 2s. Gd. per week and costs was
then made.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John, Keene was
charged with having enlisted in the militia, received lOs
bounty, and absconded.
The prisoner did not deny the offence.
Mr. Hardwick committed him for the full period of
six months.

and having come into collision with another car-
riage, was thrown off the driving box to the ground.
After being examined by a surgeon, and pronounced un-
hurt, he was found to be so intoxicated that he was con-
veyed to the police-station in Rochester-row, and placed
in one of the cells. He was visited from time to time
till half-past nine at night, when he was discovered in a
state of stupor, and Mr. G. Pearse, the police divisional
surgeon, was sent for, who administered restoratives,
and in a few minutes the man apparently so perfectly
recovered as to joke about his drunkenness. He was
then reconveyed to the cell, and a pillow having been
Placed under his head, he appeared to be doing well. In
the course of another hour he was found to be sinking
into another stupor, was brought out, and two medical
men sent for, but he died in a few minutes. At the
time medical aid was first procured, his head and body
were carefully examined, but he bore no appearance of
injury, although the collision which had produced the
fall was so violent, that it was found necessary to kill
his master's horse, which he was driving, in the course
of the evening, owing to its wounds.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.--(TAN. 1.
IN THE MATTER OF BARON VON RATHEN.
This insolvept, an Hungarian baron, who had been
upwards of four years in the Queen's prison, applied to
be discharged under the act.
_ _

Mr. Cooke supported the application, to which no op-
position was made by the creditors.
The insolvent had obtained a number of patents for
Bre-grates and improvements in steam. He was de-
scribed as an inventor, patentee, and engineer. The pa-
tents, with the expenses, had cost him more than 10,0001.,
and were in the hands of his creditors. He estimated
the patents and inventions as worth upwards of 20,0001.
The insolvency was attributed to the heavy expenses
connected with the patents and the want of orders for
the patent fire-grate, partially owing to the French revo-
lution, and to other causes set forth.

, .... _........
Mr. Commissioner Phillips referred to the schedule,
and remarked on the different names of the insolvent.
H. saw that on a former occasion, in an application to
the court, the debts were 66,0001., and now they
amounted to 24,8021.

Mr. Cooke said such was the case, but many of them
were disputed. _

The insolvent appeared to be very deaf. He addressed
some observations to the learned commissioner.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips hoped the time would never
come when a foreigner would be treated in a different
manner to an Englishman. He was glad he was not
opposed.
The insolvent, after his long imprisonment, was or-
dered to be discharged.

CITY OF LONDON ELECTION (THIS DAY).

Lord John Russell was this day re-elected for the
city of London without opposition.
The proceedings took place in the Guildhall, the she-
riffs presiding. Lord John Russell, on entering the
hall, was loudly cheered.

After the reading of the Queen's writ and the Bribery
Act,

Mr. DILLON proposed the re- election of Lord John
Russell. After alluding at some length to the
downfall of the late Government, and the measures
which led to it, the honourable gentleman said,
that the statesmen of England had now come
to the conclusion, as the people of England had some
time ago, that the time had now arrived when they must
sink minor differences of opinion in order to form a strong
energetic administration. (Hear, hear.) Among the
foremost of them were the noble lord, who with that
magnaminity which belonged to his character and
his name, had consented to descend from the position
to which he was entitled of leading the Cabinet,
and professed himself ready to take any office for the
purpose of serving and saving his country. (Cheers.)
For himself he had consented to propose the noble lord
on the understanding that he would not demand from
him a single pledge. He trusted more to the principles
than to the pledges of statesmen. After enumerating
the subjects which would come under the attention of
the Administration—a review of our financial system,
church and law reform, the admission of Jews into Par•
liament, the national defences, and the reform of the
constituency—the hon. gentleman concluded by nomi-
nating Lord John Russell for re-election.

Mr. CRAWFORD seconded the nomination of Lord
J. Russell. He congratulated the electors on the
unanimity which prevailed among the Liberals in the
City. (Hear.) He was determined, like the mover,
not to ask for any pledges from the noble lord, believing
that it was his intention to fulfil, when opportunity
offered, the expectations which the constituency had
always entertained of him, in reference to the reform of
the customs, the maintenance and extension of free
trade, and the admission of Jews into Parliament.
No other candidate being proposed, the noble lord was
declared to be duly elected.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL then stood forward, amidst loud
cheering, to address the electors. After referring to the
share which he had taken in the recent events which had
led to the downfall of the late Administration, anddefend-
ing himself against the charge of combination, the noble
lord proceeded to review the intended line of policy of
the new Government. Owing to the late hour at which
the proceedings terminated, we are unable to give a
longer report. A full report of his lordship's speech
will be given in our next edition.

PENINSULAR MAILS

SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. 3.
The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company's ship Madrid, Captain Weeks, has just
arrived here with the Peninsular Mails, and dates
from Gibraltar, December 24 ; Cadiz, 25th ; Lis-
bon, 29th ; Oporto, no communication; Vigo,
December 30.

Her Majesty's ships Sanspareil and Inflexible
were at Gibraltar when the Madrid left.
The screw steamer Albatross left Lisbon for Li-
verpool on the 29th ult.

The emigrant ship Africa had put into Lisbon,
partially dismasted. She was bound to Australia.
Our Lisbon letters of the 29th ultimo, state that
the Portuguese faudholders were much disgusted
with the conversion of the ,Portuguese Debt into
Three per Cents. A portion of the internal debt
was also decreed to be converted into foreign Three
per Cents. for railway purposes.
The new Tariff was in the press, and will, it is
stated, disappoint all who looked for reductions of
duties and suppression of the contraband trade.
At Lisbon exchange on London was quoted at
54k, with a scarcity of general takers.
The Board of Public Credit has remitted 16,000
by this packet.
Portuguese stocks had declined, and were dull
at 36 to 37 the Five per Cents. Lisbon Bank notes
were at a discount of 2i- per cent.
The British squadron was still at Gibraltar. Ex-
change on London was quoted at 50i- to 50g.
Spanish pillared dollars, 2f to 24 per cent. premium.
The United States mail steam-ship Hermann has
just arrived here from Bremen on her way to New
York.

W. West.
London, England, 1853-01-03

which is likely to lead to further and increased pros-
perity. I believe that that system of domestic policy
which we pursue, founded on the principles of civil, re-
ligious, and political liberty, is the true system upon
which the policy of every ministry ought to be based,
and I do trust and believe, that not seeking anything
from any foreign nation which they can with justice
refuse, seeking only fairness and good will—our system
of foreign policy is that which will be co ducive to the
independence of this country and the happiness of the
world.

The noble lord then sat down amidst loud and con-
tinued cheering.
The proceedings terminated by a vote of thanks to
the Sheriffs, and three cheers for the Queen. Lady
John Russell and her young son were present during
the proceedings in one of the side galleries.

PENINSULAR MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. 3.
The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company's ship Madrid, Captain Weeks, has just
arrived here with the Peninsular Mails, and dates
from Gibraltar, December 24 ; Cadiz, 25th ; Lis-
bon, 29th ; Oporto, no communication; Vigo,
December 30.

Her Majesty's ships Sanspareil and Inflexible
were at Gibraltar when the Madrid left.
The screw steamer Albatross left Lisbon for Li-
verpool on the 29th ult.

The emigrant ship Africa had put into Lisbon;
partially dismasted. She was bound to Australia.

Our Lisbon letters of the 29th ultimo, stai,e that
the Portuguese fundholders were much disgusted
with the conversion of the Portuguese Debt into
Three per Cents. A portion of the internal debt
was also decreed to be converted into foreign Three
per Cents. for railway purposes.
The new Tariff was in the press, and will, it is
stated, disappoint all who looked for reductions of
duties and suppression of the contraband trade.
At Lisbon•exchange on London was quoted at
54i, with a scarcity of general takers.
The Board of Public Credit has remitted 16,000
by this packet.

Portuguese stocks had declined, and were dull
at 36 to 37 the Five per Cents. Lisbon Bank notes
were at a discount of 2i per cent.
The British squadron was still at Gibraltar. Ex-
change on London was quoted at 60i to 50 .
Spanish pillared dollars, 2/ to 2t per cent. premium.
The United States mail steam-ship Hermann has
just arrived here from Bremen on her way to New
York.

so much that was calculated to discourage and t°
deter from the prosecution of his object.
In the course of time,. appeared Mr. Cobden, as
the master spirit of the Anti-Corn-Law League.
While Mr. Villiers was prosecuting, with grow-
ing success, an agitation against the bread tax
within the walls of Parliament, Mr. Cobden carried
on a vigorous assault, out of doors, on the citanel
of monopoly. Between the conjoint efforts of the
two, aided by other zealous fellow-labourers, and
at last receiving the cordial co-operation of Sir
Robert Peel, the anti-corn-law agitation was
crowned with success. Trade in the people's food
was proclaimed to be free, after the lapse of a brief
period to give time to prepare for the transition.
Mr. Cobden and Mr. Villiers, then, are the real
authors of that free-trade policy which has destroyed
the Derby Cabinet, and paved the way for the ad-
vent of an Aberdeen Administration. From a feel-
ing of gratitude, therefore, if from no other consi-
deration, these gentlemen ought to have been among
the first to whom Lord Aberdeen offered seats in his
Cabinet. But, besides their claims on the score of
their distinguished services to the cause of free trade
in particular, and to that of popular progress in gene-
ral, they are mei whose intelligence, integrity, and
capacity would render them an acquisition to any
Government. And yet neither of their names is to
be found in the list of the new Ministry. It is
true that an indirect intimation was made to Mr.
Cobden, that a place would be found for him in the
Government, but without a seat in the Cabinet.
The hon. gentleman very properly spurned the offer,
and expressed- his indignation at the unbecoming
manner in which it was made. Mr. Villiers also
has had office offered to him, and accepted it ; but
that office is not one commensurate, either in its
importance or its emoluments, with the abilities
and the services of the hon. gentleman. There is
not a man in the House of Commons more entitled
to a seat in the Cabinet than the member for
Wolverhampton ; and we do trust that the tardy
act of justice will yet be done both to him and Mr.
Cobden, of offering them seats at the Council table,
unclogged with any conditions which, as honour-
able, independent men they could not accept. If
Lord Aberdeen will only do this, and do it under
the circumstances we have indicated, we shall re-
gard it as a most favourable augury for the pro-
gressive policy and perpetuity of his Administration

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)

ASSAULTING A CONSTABLL—A tall, gentlemanly-look-
ing young man, who gave the name of Edward Marshall,
and who was stated to be a student of Trinity College,
Cambridge, but who at the police station gave the name
of "Frederick Leveson Gower, of Stafford-house, Saint
James's Palace," and Susan Reeves, a woman of the town,
were brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with inde-
cent conduct. The defendent Marshall was further
charged with assaulting Police-constable 26 C while in
the execution of his duty.
The constable stated that about two o'clock this morn-
ing he was on duty in Fox and Hounds-yard, Hanover-
square, when he saw the defendant in a very indecent
posture. As the place was inhabited by cabmen and
their families, some of whom iwere about, witness re-
quested them to adjourn from thence to some conve-
nient house in the neighbourhood. The defendant Mar-
shall then said, " You go to h—; how dare you to
interfere with me ?" The woman then laid hold of his
(Marshall's) arm and said, " Don't talk to him—per-
haps he is not aware who you are." Witness again
desired them to go away, when the defendant (Marshall)
called him a d—d scoundrel, and struck him two or
three times across the shoulders with a stick he had in
his hand. Witness then took them both to the station.
They were both quite sober.
Inspector Parke, C division, said the defendant Mar-
shall, when at the station, gave the name of Frederick
Leveson Gower, and said he was a son of the Duke of
Sutherland, but after being questioned admitted that lie
had assumed that honourable name, and that his real
name was Edward Marshall, of Trinity College, Cam-
bt

The defendant, who denied the charge in toto, was
severely reprimanded by Mr. Bingham, and fined 20s.
for the assault on the constable.
The woman was discharged.
Mr. Charles Hope, who 'described himself as a mer-
chant, 45, Cornhill, was charged with having been drunk
and blowing a horn in the Ilayrnarket,'"at two o'clock this
morning, to the great annoyance of the inhabitants.
The charge having been proved by Barber, 59 C, Mr.
Bingham fined defendant 205., which he immediately
paid.

SHERIFFS COURT-(THIS DAY).

(Before Mr. Ogle, Q.C.)
In consequence of the indisposition of Mr. Russell
Gurney, the cases adjourned till to-day were further
postponed. The cases generally were of a very trifling
nature.

BUCHANAN V. THORLEY.
In this case, reported yesterday, it should have been
stated, that the whole of the costs were for money out of
pocket for court fees, without any professional charges.
The proceedings, under the. "Act for the more easy Re-
covery of Small Debts," to recover 41. led to an expense
of 161. ; and had the plaintiff been a non-professional
man, and retained a solicitor, the expenses would have
been at least 251. Suitors complain of the enormous
costs leading to such results, as they can go to the
court above and get effectual judgment for less costs.

TH ORPHAN TVORSINp S-6HOOr,

HAVERSTOOK-HILL.

Yesterday, the 95th anniversary festival of this charity
was held at the London Tavern, and was very fully at-
tended. The Lord Mayor was in the chair.
After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, his Lord-
ship proposed " Prosperity to the Orphan Working
School ;" and, in the course of a very earnest -aidress on
behalf of the charity, took occasion to state that the
charity was founded in May, 1758, for the support of 20
boys, to whom were soon added 20 girls. In 1773 a
new school was opened in the City-road for 70 children,
and continued there until 1847, when the present build-
ing at Haverstock-hill was opened, and received 153
children. The present number of recipients of the
charity was 241, and 25 are to be elected next month,
making a total of 266. He also stated that children were
received from all denominations. and from every part
of the United Kingdom. Children were now in the
schools born in the South Seas, Jamaica, Scotland, Ire-
land, Wales, and in nearly every part of the United
Kingdom. It was never asked of what religious deno-
mination were their parents, but simply were the child-
ren orphans ? Were they objects of compassion ? Child-
ren were received from 7 until 11 years of age. They
remained until 14 or 15, and then, as far as was prac-
ticable, they were placed out as apprentices or servants,
with suitable outfits, to the boys of the value of 51., to
the girls of the value of 3/. 35., and for the seven fol-
lowing years they were encouraged by rewards of from
ss. to 215., if their employers certified their conduct to
be satisfactory. The education was upon the plan 43f
~.
the British and Foreign School Society, with sue°
improvements as were to be found in any or every
other system. The elder girls took their rotation in
the house and in the laundry to fit them for service. By
the fundamental rule of the charity the children must
attend a place of worship among protestant dissenters,
but beyond that there was nothing in the school or the
education by which you would understand anything of
sectarianism. No catechism of any denomination 10^5
allowed to be used in the schools. The committee took
care to select pious and well qualified teachers. The
Bible was their companion and their catechism, and the
ruling was by love.
It appeared that the receipts in the last year were
4,811/. 2s. 4d., and the expenditure 4,991/. 14s. 511.,
leaving a deficiency of 1801. 12s. ld. His lordship,
stated that 1,0001. was wanted, and he hoped it would
be obtained on the present occasion.
The receipts amounted to about 7001., and the ear-
nestness with which the claims of the charity were advo-
cated by the several speakers who proposed or responded
to the different toasts, was fully reciprocated by the
company assembled.
