POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Reuben Thwaites, who ap-
peared to be about eleven years of age, was charged by
Mr. Ward, of Liverpool-street, baker, who said—About
twenty minutes to twelve o'clock yesterday the prisoner
crawled into my shop, threw himself across the counter,
pulled out the till, and took out 1/. 12s. Old., and started
away the moment he put it into his pocket. I was en-
tering the shop at the time, and I ran after him, stopped
him in Moorfields, brought him back, and gave him into
custody. I feel quite positive that the money found in
his trouser's pocket was taken from my till, because I
miss about that sum. He begged me to let him go.
,The Policemen—l found 1/. 12s. Old. in the pri-
soner's trouser's pocket, and he told me that was all he
had taken out of the till. I found ls. 6d. in his waist-
coat pocket. _ _ _

Tlie father of the prisoner said that correction had been
thrown away upon the unfortunate child, who was, there
was every reason to believe, under the tuition of expe-
rienced thieves, who had picked him up at the " gaffs,"
or penny plays, with which the est-end used to swarm
some time ago. _

Alderman-Wire, after a strict investigation into the
case, sentenced the prisoner to imprisonment for three
months, and such labour as he might be able to perform.

MARYLEBONE.—Captain Henry Hugh, Clayton,
residing at 1, Woodfield-terrace, Harrow-road, and upon
whom summonses had been previously issued, was
brought up by Whipp, 86 D, on a warrant charging him
under very peculiar circumstances with having assaulted
Eliza Remington, a young woman of prepossessing ap-
pearance, and about 26 years of age. She was house-
maid to the defendant.

Complainant, on being sworn, said—On the morning
of the 4th of November last the captain made overtures
to me of an improper nature, which I repulsed. In the
afternoon of the same day, while I was cleaning the fire-
grate in my bed-room, he came up, saying he was going
to kiss me, and on my telling him that I could not suffer
him to do anything of the kind, he said, " If you will
only consent to my wishes, I'll settle upon you so much
a year. I have been in the habit of doing it with all my
servants, and why can't you and I agree ?" I told him
that I could not think of agreeing to his scandalous and
offensive proposal, when he patted me on the shoulder,
and, after ringing the bell, said that if I did not accede
to his wishes he should kick me down stairs. I pushed
past him and went below, declaring that I would quit
the house on the same day.
Mr. Long—You have summoned Captain Clayton
here for assaulting you. Let me know what you have
to say upon that ?

Co-mpiainant--In the afternoon, while in my bedroom
and in the act of packing up my clothes, Captain Clay-
ton came in and said I should not go till the next day. I
told him that my mind was made up to go instantly,
when he rung the bell, and I then rushed down stairs
into the kitchen. The captain told the cook that she
had corrupted me, and he then thrashed me with a cane
with such violence that marks were upon my person for
several days. He has repeatedly made to me improper
solicitations, and I have upon every occasion repulsed
him.

Mr. Long (to the defendant)—What answer have you
to this ?
Defendant--she made some improper and insolent re-
marks as a servant, and I gave her a slight tap with the
cane.

Mr. Long—The assault—and you do not deny it—
has been proved, and for that I shall fine you 50s. and
costs.
Captain Clayton (pulling out a well•filled purse) said—
Did you say 501.
Mr. Fell, the chief clerk—The penalty is not 501., but
50s.

Captain Clayton—Oh, very well !
He paid the penalty with much sang-froid, and then
quitted the court.

AMERICAN SLAVERY-THE EARL OF
SHAFTESBURY'S REJOINDER.

26,876

The. Earl of Shaftesbury has written the following
letter to the editor of the Times. It is an answer to
the reply published in the name of the ladies of America
to the address of the women of England :
Sir,—l have just read in your paper a letter purport-
ing to be the reply of the American ladies to the address
of the " Women of England," on the subject of slavery
in the United States.
You have inserted so many articles adverse to the ad-
dress that you will, I am sure, in a spirit of justice, in- !
sert these few remarks in explanation of the measure. I
If the letter were really the production of American
ladies, I should certainly regard it with much respect
and deference ; but its own internal evidence shows

and we call on our
American brethren to do the same in their own terri-
tories. They reply to us (if this, at least, be a real
document) by accusations and revilings on subjects
totally distinct from the matter in hand.
" But the writer is not more happy in his facts than
in his reasoning. I shall speak of those alone which
come under my own knowledge. I will admit, for the
sake of argument, and that only, that had he composed
his paper some twenty years ago, there might have been
in it an approximation to accuracy; such, however, is
far from the case now.
" One person," he says, " out of every eight is a
pauper." I believe, on the contrary, that the working
people of England were never in a more thriving condi-
tion, and that it requires but a few more improvements
to place them on a footing nearly equal to the physical
condition of those in the United States.
He charges us with defective supplies for the educa-
tion of our people. Let him parambulate the country
and the towns, and observe everywhere the rapid multi-
plication of schools and churches. We may be behind-
hand, but we are labouring to overtake the mischief. It
was the present Archbishop of Canterbury who stated
in his charge that, during the time he was Bishop of
Chester there were more churches built in that vast
diocese than in the whole of England from the beginning
of the century.z
" London, he proceeds, "contains 33,000 needle-
women, who earn, on an average, only 44-d. a day by
working 14 hours." An offer was made through my-
self, a short time ago, to provide lodging and 6s a week
for 200 or 300 female hands required in the north of
England. The proposition was laid before this formerly
suffering class, but rejected, because their actual condi-
tion was so much better in London.
He speaks of the factory classes with commiseration.
He would do well to visit the great hives of industry in
Lancashire and Yorkshire. He would there see a pros-
perous, active, and contented population ; work is
abundant, and wages good ; the best feeling exists
between the employer and the employed, while a large
proportion of them, both children and adults, have en-
tered on a course of personal and social improvement.
The great factory bazaar at Bolton will fully justify this
assertion.
"A very large proportion," he continues, of "your
agricultural population live in filthy and crowded cotta-
ges, &c." This, I regret to say, is still true, both in
town and country. But, have no efforts been made—are
none being made—to abate the evil ?To quote but one in-
stance, did not the Duke of Bedford lately erect 400
cottages, I believe, in a single year ? I can answer,
from personal inspection, for their excellence. Are not
many other landowners in all parts of the kingdom en-
gaged at present in the same course ? The reduction of
the duty on bricks has greatly facilitated such operations.
We see a corresponding effort for the towns in the
formation of societies to "improve the dwellings of the
poor," in model lodging-houses, in baths and wash-
houses, in the larger diffusion of the means of cleanli-
ness, decency, and comfort. Your own columns have
recently contained an article on the effects of the " Com-
mon Lodging-house Act," showing that under the ex-
cellent administration of Captaih Hay, of the police, the
resorts of the most vagrant and degraded of the poorer
classes will at last be purified.
• Again, about 130 tons have been brought under the
operation of the Health Act, and many more are waiting
for admission ; nor do I hesitate to assert, from long
and anxious experience, that, whenever we shall have
applied to our courts and alleys the sanatory amend-
ments for which we have so long contended, we shall
have gone far towards rendering our people one of the
most thriving, healthy, and happy on the face of the
earth.
"There are 30,000 costermongers," he adds ; "of
these only one-tenth—at the outside, one-tenth--of the
couples living together and carrying on their coster-
mongering trade are married." It may be so, and, if so,

A NEW EMIGRATION SCHEME.—The " Port of South-
ampton Emigration Company" is in course of formation,
with a capital of 30,0001., in 51. shares. This company
is established with a view to forming a line of ships sail-
ing at short and certain intervals to the several Austra-
lian ports. Only one class of passengers is to be taken,
for whom a fixed and uniform rate is to be charged.
The co-operation of the London and South-Western
Railway and Southampton Dock Companies is stated to
have been secured, and arrangements have been made by
which passengers for the company's vessels will be con-
veyed from London to Southampton with their luggage,
the cost of this transit being included in the passage
money. The company also propose to receive passage
money by instalments or otherwise from parties in the
colony desirous of remitting funds to enable their fami-
lies or friends to join them.
