POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

AIARYLEBONE-OFFlCE.—Yesterday a young girl, named
Julia Doyle, not more than 17 years of age, was brought up in
custody of James Gibbs, the officer, charged with having at-
tempted to burn the house of Mr. George Palmer, coal and
corn merchant, Marylebone-lane.
Mrs. Elizabeth Palmer, the wife of the prosecutor, deposed,
that her husband was unable to attend, having an engagement
on the Coal Exchange. On Sunday morning, about half-past
seven o'clock, she was alarmed by the cry of fire ; she imme-
diately got out of bed, and ran down stairs to the kitchen, and
found the prisoner standing close to the kitchen fire; the door
of the kitchen opened to a range of stores, where the hay,
straw, faggots, coals, &c. were deposited. The witness per-
ceived a strong burning smell, and, turning to the prisoner,
said, " Oh, you bad girl, what have you been doing ;" but the
prisoner made no answer. Witness went into the back kitchen,
and on opening a small door discovered the hay was in flame
in the store-room. The witness was in great alarm, and calle
for assistance, when some persons came with water, and fiungt
it upon four trusses of hay, which were on fire, and by Brea
exertions the flames were subdued.

.31r. RawmxsoN asked the witness whether the hay-store,
if on fire, were likely to burn the house ?
The witness replied " Certainly, and very likely the neigh-
bourhood, as it was full of combustibles."

Sarah Crofts, one of Mr. Palmer's stated that on
Sunday morning she was sitting in her apartment, and per-
ceived something like hay burning, and on looking out of the
window, observed smoke issuing from the hay store; she snw
the prisoner standing by the kitchen-fire, and said, "My GQd,
Mary, what are you doing, there is something on fire ?" but
did not receive any answer. The witness, on looking into the
hay-store, saw the flames, and gave the alarm, and also assisted
in extinguishing the flames. The prisoner's Christian name is
" Julia, but she was called Mary. She made no remark, but
behaved very sullen, without offering to render any help, and
left the house.

Mrs. Palmer said the hay could not have caught fire without
the agency of some light or combustible being applied to it,
and the prisoner was the first up that morning.
The prisoner, who seemed not the least dismayed by her si-
tuution, said she knew not how the fire originated, and was
' opening the parlour shutters when Mrs. Croft gave the alarm;
She rendered every assistance, and on being accused of setting
the place on lire, she left the house, and went to her father's,
where she was taken into custody by Gibbs, the Officer. "
Mr. ItmvLiNeoN said he was bound, upon the evidence, 'to
eornmit her for trial, and she was committed to Newgate ac-
cordingly.
M A RLIJOROUGH-STREET.—Yestvrday, Robert Lynn was
charged with inflicting a very .dangerous wound on the.head of
his wife, by which her life is endangered. Lynn and hiS wife
have resided for sometime at 88, Monmouth-street, and he has
beaten her severely on several occasions. She was brought in
a coach fioin Saint Giles's workhouse, by the Overseers, who
have instituted the present prosecutiOn against the prisoner.—
She was very faint frOM lois of blood, and was allowed a chair.
She stated that the prisoner had repeatedly used her ill, and on
Sunday morning,' during a quarrel, he threatened to take
away her life. He seized the lid of a kettle, and struck her
On the head with great violence. The. wound was deep, and
the blood:rushed from it, all over her face and . neck ; she
sereamed " murder," and ran into the street, 'and the crowd
which assembled supposed her throat hat; been cut. The pri-
soner v.as secured, and taken to the- watch-house. Mr. Roe
asked the woman what 'provocation she had given to her hus-
band for the treatment she had received ? 'She replied that she
gave him no provocation whatever. 'The prisoner said•that she
threw a kettle at him, 'besides using the most provoking lan-
guage. The Magistrate inquired if the Woman's life was in
danger ? The Overseer said the parish surgeon informed hint
that she was not out of danger. The Magistrate ordered the
.ptisor.?.r to be committed, and to give to the-Overseers st.
Oilcs forly-eight hours' notice of bail

PRICE ',S.IiV.RIT,P4I`r,

FOR THE SUS.

MR. O'CONNELL'S CONDUCT.
Mit. Eprron--4 had hoped that Mr. O'CON-
NELL, and all those who appeared so .anxious for
the peace and tranquillity of the Sister- Country,
would have endeavoured to ha,";naintained
such peace and tranquillity ; vain
~hope I as the
said O'Connell's present conduct - too ievidently
skews. Did he not say, he was deiirous that
the Irish Catholics. should submit peaceably to
the law, which suppressed their Association !
" Blessed are the peace-makers.;" yet we now
behold this peaceful individual, bre4thing de- ,
fiance to
.the late enactment, by declaring he
will have a new association formed—s-rent
be again collected, &c. Is this the may to con-
ciliate Britain's loyal sons ? does he not know,
that Britains are not to be intiinidated, either by
threats or threatening actions ? does-henot know,
that from discord nothing but evil can proceed ?
By the bye, this reminds me that at one of their
meetings, held not long ago, in London, (f be-
lieve it was that, at which the Duke of Norfolk
presided as Chairman) it was stated, -‘.a that they
(the Catholics of England and Ireland). were
both bound by the same chain, but .by polling
together, they would break that chain." If this
be the system, on which they proceed, it is
wise enough ; for I believe it is , customary
for a chain to have two ends ; now, how can
they pull together and break it, unless one set,
be at one end, and another set, at the other end ?
hence, they must pull in opposition to each other. is
not Mr. O'Connell now putting in Pradtice this
most sapient theory ? I suspect he is ; for sure-
ly Englishmen, whether Catholics or Protestants,
will not so far forget their allegiance as to op-
pose the law of the land, and defy its operation.-
No ; I have a higher opinion of John. Bull than
to suppose he could thus forget the exalted place
he holds amongst nations, and consequently the
good example he should set. There may, per-
haps, be a few who pay no respect to law of
any sort, but there are very few indeed. If
Mr. O'Connell is proceeding on this plan, let
him remember the answer of Christ to the mul-
titude, when they said, that he cast out devils,
by Beelzibub, the chief of the devils ; our Sa-
viour asked them, saying, " if Satan, also, be
divided against himself, how shall his kingdom
stand ?" I was ignorant enough to slippose that
unanimity was requisite to bring about such a
change as a few of the Catholics want ; but there
have been many singular discoveries lately.
Mr. O'Connell, is certainly acting in a very
extraordinary manner ; for he told the people of
Ireland, not long since, that emancipation, as he
called it, should be " conciliatory" to. the Catho-
lics, and satisfactory" to the Protestants, and
without these two qualities, " it was not desir-
able." Out of thine own 'mouth shalt thou he
judged. Is it an act of conciliation or satisfaction,
to excite men to oppose, or artfully to evade, the
operation of an Act of Parliament ?..how conci-
liating ! how satisfactory ! how consistent, too,
with his late professions !-7-What are•we to think
of a man, who to-day, says—Be peaceful, and
to-morrow, we will have an AssociatiOn, in spite
of King, Lords, and Commons ? I should be glad
to know, how Mr. O'Connell can reconcile such
conduct ? I suspect he will find somedifliculty
in accounting for it, except.ls a mere lapsus
guce, or, perhaps, ane figure of speech of the
Learned Gentleman's own invention.

It is easy to be ckstinguished,• without
piling honour. Misguided emulation, stimulated
by a misapprehension of the true umor potrite,
have precipitated many from the towering height
of good intent, to a lamentable perversion of
their time and talents ; and those who never
strongly fortified themselves with virtue, but
permitted a sordid self-interestedness to 'govern
their actions, it has kept down in the gloomy
residence of self-willed ignorance. and ,pitiful du-
plicity. it is an imperious duty, iticonibetit otA
the moralist, in plain terms, to affirm, that Chris-
tian morality is the chief stone of, the corner,
which, if the builders refuse (and what is to be
expected of bf.gotry and superstition!). will ren-
der their previous and ulterior labours- nugatory ;
and the structure ' which is raised mai, unex-
•pectedly, fall.; and great will be the fall ttieryof:
—not unexpectedly to those whose minds are not
warped by the unnatural warmth of'delusive real
soning ;—not unexpectedly to thciSe..who baVe
impartially peruse.a. history, examined through
Wisdom's glass, the present state of ',things, and
thence deduced their reasonable Conlltisions...
Did not the monkish ages spread adense
of its own making, over men's minds? and did
not that cloud contain all that Wa.i-vT glatiious iu
human nature ? so long
.as, with regard to Pro-
testant and Catholic, things remain, unchanged,
and so long as our religion is if s•firtay andibly
supported as at present, these times cannot 're-
turn ; but what may not an alteratiOn,' prauce ?
It is scarcely to be supposed, that in -tho'se ages,
when the grossest superstition' reigoe.4 absolute,
that many could be fouad, with a sufficient degree
of resolution and solid ladginent,tro:Siand forth
as defenders of the, true ChriSt4jlaieh,' and
champions in the cause of conititu'lionial support.
But we now acknowledge 11::rost AN G PaoTlis-
TANT KING, and for defet.ltrso(,.good sense.
and stanch opposers of a JuitianS linkOvatiou, we
have LivERPOOLS, PEELs, tint! ' above all, a

THE G ItEEKS.

l'ho following has teen sent for insertion by
litor Greek Deputies :
OF AN OFFICIAL NIOCLAIIATION OF TLIIC

GREEK GOYEsANUENT

A Thanks to God ! The enemy's fleet, that made its ap-
ekeikraace 'off Cape erOro, threatened so much to attack the
abatis of Hydra and Spezzia„ that the Government thought it
'Komar). Weeder the troops that were at Napoli di Romania to
be sent there, in order to defend this bulwark of our independ-
ence. The aforesaid fleet, consisting of 100 sail, between men-
ef-wso and transports, and which was carrying troops and all
. kip& of war ammunition and provisions, in order to effect the
of Greece, has been completely defeated by our brave
;Libra of Cape d'Ordo and Andros, between the 20th and 21st
of May, 0. 8. The proud Capitan Pacha succeeded with
slouch difficulty in effecting his escape with only 27 ships, still
.k.4.lowed by. Of second division of the Greek fleet under
-fteldoury. The Admiral's ship, which was the largest amongst
*fie enemy's fleet, was burnt; but the Capitan Pacha was not
kund on board, he knowing by experience that the Greeks at-
tacked generally the ship on board of which he was. Another
frigate of a smaller dimension has also been burnt in the en-
gagement; and several other men-of-war, having been dis-
persed and chased by the Greeks, ran ashore on the islands of.
tiyra and Tyros. A great number of transports had been cap-
tared,and brought in to the islands of Hydra and Spezzia.
The Admiral .sliaulis, informed at Mace of the glorious en-
gagement of Sacktoury, hastened to the '4lOl in pursuit of the
neat of the enemy's fleet, which it was fully anticipated would
Save met the same fate."

" CORFU, JUNE 17 ♦ND 18.

" Ibrahim Pacha's position in the Morea becomes daily
snore critical. It appears certain, that in wishing to penetrate
into the interior of the country, he was surrounded by a consi-
derable body of troops under Colocotroni, from whence he will
find much difficulty in extricating himself. Besides his bad
situation by land, the events that took place by sea between
the 20th and 21st of last month 0. S., must very much
embarrass him. According to the official report of the Greek
-Uovernment on this event, it results that the Capitan Pacha's
frigate, with another of a smaller dimension, had been burnt
by the Greek fire-ships, together with many other small ves-
sels, snd that the Capitan Paella's tint was reduced to about
:30 ships. The Greeks, under Goura, have beaten the Turks
in Eastern Greece. Report says that they rendered them-
selves prisoners, and that Goura was trying to combine a
junction with the Greek army of observation at Missolonghi,
in order to attack the Albanians that were besieging that
place.

" ZANTE, JUNE 14.
" The official report of the Greek Government will inform
you of what took place the beginning of June (N.S.) between
Sacktoury and the Capitan Paella. I have moreover to say,
that the news contained in the foregoing report has been con-
firmed by the many captains of merchantmen that have arrived
here lately. They reckon the loss of the Turks at about thirty
sail, between men-of-war and transports, laden with provisions,
and all kinds of war ammunition.. This event renders their
situation in the Morea very critical. We have seen to-day three
,I):eek ships going to Missolonglii, with war-munition and pro-
visions. They have orders to prevent the Turks communi-
cating with Patras, where it, was intended to send a consider-
able body of troops under the command of one of those chiefs
al-?tsined at Hydra."
