POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

HA7'TON-GARDEN.

Yesterday George Ball and Sarah Fenner were placed
at the bar, before Mr. BURRELL, charged by Mr. James
Hibbet, linen draper, of No. 54, Leather-lane, Holborn,
the latter with having robbed him to a considerable amount,
and the former with having received part of the property,
knowing it to be stolen.
It appeared in evidence that the prisoner Fenner, a few
months ago, applied to the prosecutor for a situation as
maid of all work, when she was received with an excel-
lent character from her last place ; but she had not been
long in the service before various articles were missing from
the house and shop, and on several occasions property in
gold and silver was missed from the cash-box, which the
prosecutor kept in an apartment to which she had access.
On Saturday evening, subsequent to her committal, the
prisoner Ball called at the shop of the prosecutor to in-
quire after her, when, being suspected, he was taken
into custody. On searching him, some keys were
found in his possession, and on proceeding to his lodg-
ings and searching his boxes, be found a consi-
derable quantity of twilled calico and other property,
and also some letters, written to Ball, in the handwriting of
Fenner, showing that a familiar correspondence existed be-
tween them. The property was identified by the prosecutor,
and the prisoner Ball said that he had received it from Fen-
ner, with whom he had been acquainted two years, and she
told him that she had bought it from her master, and he
had also received three sovereigns from her, which she said
she had received from her mother, who was in the country ;
and he confessed to the officer having bought a coat with
part of the money. He denied all knowledge of the rob-
bery, and said that he was in employ at the Quartermaster-
General's office, and bore an unblemished character.
Mr. BURRELL said he would remand Ball. He will
be brought up again, with the other prisoner, on Saturday
next.

ISLE OF WIGHT.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENTS.)
FRESHWATER, DEC. 2.—The gale of last night completely
destroyed the French brig which was on the beach at Comp.
ton; she was driven up so high that great hopes were enter•
tained that the cargo, if not the vessel, would be saved.
During Saturday about sixty quarters of wheat and some of
her materials were secured, but at highwater (midnight) the
sea rolled in so heavily that she broke up into a thousand
fragments, which now line the shore ; the beach is covered
with the wheat. _

COWES, DEC. 3 —The brig Brazil Packet, Henrickson,
which grounded on Shrape mud, in corning into harbour yes-
terday, was warped up to Mr. Day's wharf during the night,
and a number of hands are now engaged landing the cargo
(hides); men are also kept constantly at the pumps.
The following verse s have also commenced discharging►
their cargoes at the same wharf :—The Swedish bark Frede-
ricka Wilhclmina, Captain Schrolder (salt); the American
brig Malaga, Reymond, general cargo; the Norwegian
schooner Anna, Molle, salt fish.

All of them are in a very leaky state, having suffered
severely in the gales, and when they will end God only
knows. The gale was terrific last night; at ten p.m. the
thunder was very heavy the heavens were one sheet of fire,
and the rain descended in torrents. At eleven the Tweed,
timber laden, for Southampton, from Quebec, came into the
Roads. She experienced very bad weather, lost sails and
sprung her mainmast; she came into the Needles without a
pilot, the weather is so bad outside they cannot board.

James Corke, of the Nancy, pilot vessel, who was drowned
on the night of the 28th of October, was picked up on Thurs-
day, and entered this day.

RIGG V. WALL.

His LORDSHIP also gave judgment in this case, in which,
upon its being called on, the plaintiff did not appear; and, in
consequence of the defendant producing an affidavit, stating
that he had been served with the subpoena to hear judgment,
the case was struck out. Subsequently it was discovered that
that subpoena did not comply with the new orders issued by
the Court, and the question for his Lordship's decision was,
whether the service of the subpcena was sufficient.
The COURT was clearly of opinion that it was not, and re-
stored the cause to the paper.

Q UEEN.SQUARE.

Thomas Higgins and Sarah his wife, two middle-aged
persons, residing at Chiswick, where they had hitherto
borne an irreproachable character, were yesterday placed at
the bar, charged with stealing three sovereigns, two Ira-
sovereigns, and some silver, the property of Mrs. Mitchell,
omnibus proprietor, of Hammersmith, from whom, it ap-
peared, had been abstracted by the prisoners a reticule,
containing the money which formed the subject of these
proceedings.
Mr. GREGORIE was of opinion the case was clearly made
out, and fully committed them for trial at the Central
Criminal Court.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

The MASTER of the ROLLS this morning took short causes
and consent petitions.

OATHS.-.DRIVER V. FERRAND.

Mr. CAMPBELL stated that in this case there was not the ne-
cessary affidavit in support of the petition, because the party had
an idea that a declardtion would be sufficient, and was unwil-
ling to take an oath.
Lord LANGDALE—That is a mistake.

Mr. CAMPBELL believed the Act relating to this subject ex-
pressly excepted affidavits in judicial proceedings. The old
Acts with respect to Quakers and Moravians prescribed this
form, " I, A. 8., being one of the people called Quakers,"
&c. An Act was passed in the present year by which the
provisions of these Acts were extended to persons who had
been Quakers or Moravians, and the form prescribed was, " I
A. B , having been one of the people called Quakers," &c.
None of the Acts embraced a case like the present, where the
party neither was or bad been a Quaker or Moravian.
Lord LANGDALE—No ; the case must stand over till you
have procured the proper evidence.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.

The Triton, of the line, Captain Hammelin, and bearing
the flag of Rear-Admiral Gallois, arrived at Toulon on the
28th November. This ship comes from Smyrna.—Moniteur.
A letter of the 22d November, from Bologna, is as
follows :—" Count Zichy, son of the Minister of War in
Austria, and attached to the Austrian Legation at Rome, has
brought to Bologna the final order for the departure of the
troops, and the route which they are to take, in order to have
quitted the Legations by the 29th of this month, as well
as the arrangements made in concert with the Papal au-
thorities for the replacing of the garrisons, the delivering
up of the fortresses, barrack stores. &c. The squadron of
cavalry, of which the vanguard left Bolhgna yesterday, set out
this morning. These troops took the road to Ferrara.
Those in Romagna have also began to move; part will go to
Ferrara by the road to Argenta, as was said at first, and
another part will pass through Bologna. The Austrian gar-
rison of Bologna will be replaced by an equal number of papal
troops, viz., Dragoons, Carbineers, and chiefly by corps of the
Swiss Legion. The Swiss Artillery has received orders to
come to that city.
The Court of Rome had been solicited to grant a political
amnesty on the evacution, but it has refused, as it is said,
alleging that if it granted it now, the amnesty would be
considered a concession to France. Accordingly it defers
granting it for some time.—Journal des Debats.

POST-OFFICE REFORM.

Mr. Wallace, of Kelly, has not allowed the season of re-
laxation—after a lengthened and tedious. Session of ParLa-
' went—to interrupt his valuable labours in behalf of Post-office
Reform. In a recent number of the Caledonian Mercury he
has published a letter addressed to the Provost and Magis-
trates of Edinburgh, on the advantage of a regular morning
mail from London to Scotland, and suggesting the best me-
thod of forcing this improvement on the Post-office officials.
Mr. Wallace says—
On Wednesday, the 15th curt., I proceeded by the London
and Birmingham Railway to the latter town, and from thence
to Warrington, also by the railway, where I remained that
night, and went forward next morning by the mail to Glas
gow, which was accompanied, of course, as far as Carlisle by
the mail for Edinburgh. Having marked the time occupiad by
each mode of travelling, I shall state the result in a brief form,
omitting entirely that part of the journey from London to Bir-
mingham, which is performed by stage-coaches with horses,
as being foreign to the object of this communication.

KENT HOP INTELLIGENCE.

MAIDSTONE.—In this immediate neighbourhood the hops
cannot be said to have improved within the last week. The
mould still hangs heavily, on the " Geldings" in particular,
and even the grapes have been somewhat affected, although
the latter appear to have escaped rather better than any other
sort. Very great inequality seems, however, to prevail
throughout this district. In some grounds the bines uppear
almost unproductive, while perhaps on the same farm, and at
very small distance, others are looking well. It is much
feared, however, that even in these grounds the hops will
come light to the scale—as they are at present very short in
substance and " condition." A week's warm weather, with
warmer nights, will make a very great improvement in
this respect. It will, to use the technical phrase of a
shrewd planter, " bring the fat into 'em." Picking has
commenced in the forward grounds. Much care, however, is
used, and in some places the pickers are employed by the day
instead of by the great, and we fear are likely to make a very
bad season of it. Where this care has been adopted in the
picking, the hops have produced a good sample when dried,
as only the very best hops have been selected, although these
probably would have been damaged had they been allowed to
hang longer.
GOUDHURST, HAWKHURST, SALEHURST, SANDHURST, BO-
DIAH, AND BENErcDEN.—Within the last week or ten days the
hops in all these parishes have made a great improvement.
In the parishes of Salehurst and Sandhurst it is expected
that some grounds will grow from 15 cwt. to 1t cwt. per
acre. In some grounds, picking will commence on Thursday
and Friday next. On Monday it will become general.--
Maidstone Gazette of to-day.
SUTTON AT HorgE.—We mentioned last week that the
hops in this parish were flourishing ; the parish named
should have been Darenth, there being very few hops in
Sutton at Hone.

MARYLEBONE.

Yesterday Thomas Biggs, a well-dressed young man, of
very genteel apeearanee, was charged before Mr. Hoskins
with having embt zzled the sum of 1501., the property of
Charles Louis Stanislaus Baron Heurteloup, a foreign phy-
sician of repute, residing at 42, Queen Ann-street, Caven-
dish-square.
Mr. CHARLES Pitmen, for the prosecutor, stated that the
prisoner had been in the service of the Baron for a number of
years as principal clerk. It was a situation of great trust,
and large sums of rroney passed continually through the pri-
soner's hands, and it was not until recently that i' had been
discovered that he had applied most of this money to his own
use. Although he was at present charged with embezzling
the specific sum of 1501. only, there were good reasons for
believing that he had received other heavy sums of money on
the Baron's account which he had not paid over to him,
but he was not prepared with evidence in the latter case, in
consequence of the shortness of the time, the prisoner who
had absconded having only been apprehended on the previous
day. With respect to the specific charge, the facts were
briefly these—the Baron became indebted to Dr. White, the
eminent surgeon, of Parliament-street, Westminster, in the
sum of 8001. The Baron paid 500/. on account, and some
time afterwards the prisoner informed the Baron that he had
seen Dr. White, who had pressed him for more money. In
consequence of this representation he, in March last, drew a
check for 150/. on his bankers, Messrs. Drummonds, which he
gave to the prisoner, with dtrections to pa: it forthwith over
to Dr. White on his account, and take an ackowledgment for
the same. Soon afterwards the prisoner absconded, and upon
inquiry it was ascertained that the prisoner after getting the
check cashed had appropriated the proceeds to his own use,
instead of doing as he was desired to do.
The Baron deposed to the facts relative to the above by the
Counsel. He had latterly, he said, been sojourning in France,
and having but recently returned he had not yet had either
time or opportunity to discover the actual extent of his loss.
The prisoner denied the charge against him. The fact
was, he said, that for the last six or seven years he had been
continually mixed up with the pecuniary affairs of the Baron,
and had often borrowed money for him on his own account.

it he paid the 100/. which he had borrowed of Dr. White, and
the 50/. residue he had exptnded on the Baron's household
affairs. In conclusion, lie denied having absconded in con-
sequence of dishonesty, and it was his intention to have
returned to the Baron's service, had he been permitted to
do so.
After some conversation between Mr. Phillips and Mr.
Hoskins, the prisoner, who is said to be most respectably con•
nected, was remanded to Thursday next.

STATUES IN GUILDHALL.

Many of our readers may remember three statues of our
former Sovereigns, which adorned Guildhall about 20 year.
ago. In consequence of some alterations or improvements
made in the Hall about that time, the statues weie removed
from their pedestals, and thrown amongst the lumber in the
vaults under the Hall. They appeared to have escaped the
memory of the City authorities until lately, when they were
found in a very mutilated state. They were shown to Messrs.
Grundy and Co., the statuaries, who undertook to restore
them to their original beauty, and accordingly they were en-
trusted to the care of those gentlemen. This morning the
statues were brought to, Guildhall in all their pristine
beauty, and were safely conveyed to their several destinations.
The figures represent Eiward the Sixth, Queen Elizabeth,
holding in her hand the orb and sceptre, and Charles the
First, with his foot upon the globe.
Niches have been forms d for the statues at the east end of
the hall—that of the Queen is to be above the Lord Mayor's
chair—Charles the First to be in the right-hand corner, and
Ed ward on the left.
They will add another attraction to those already contained
in the hall, though Gog and Magog will certainly still draw
the attention of the country gazers.

No point of the slightest interest came before the
Revising Baristers for the city, this morning.
DEATH BY DROWNING.—Yesterday evening
about seven o'clock, a lady was seen in an agitated state
passing and repassing the steps of Westminster-bridge, oppo-
site Nichols's Hotel. S.
ae suddenly disappeared, and was
supposed to have passed over the bridge, but melancholy to re-
late, one of Lhe pile drivers at the bridge shortly afterwards
0-aye the alarm of having seen some person jump from the
pier int Seare water, hut could not tell whether male or fe-
mile. ch was immediately made about the spot, but
without effect, owing to the tide being at its height. About
nine o'clock Mr. M'Cann of Parliament street, Surgeon to
the Royal Humane Society, received information of the occur-
rence, and after a se,.rch of three hours, the body of a lady
was found at the rear of Montague-house, the residence of
the Duke of Buceleuch. Mrs. Honey. of the Swim Tap' af-
forded the most prompt assistance ; but it was of no avail. N o
discovery was made as to whu she was. She had on a black
silk cloak, a half-mourning dress, silk laced boots, a black silk
bonnet, and otherwise respectably attired, gold earrings,and a
ring. She was sub4ryi,ntly cor
wedding. iVeyed to St. Mar-
,aret's Workhouse to await a coroner's ,nquest.
TEATOTALISM.—The country newspapers are brim-
ful of reports relating to the wide spread
diffusion of teatotal-
ism, and the total abstinence principle
; and yet, in all places
and in every street throughout the country, we see spirit
shops and gin palaces. Is the progress of the principle
limited to a purely pen and ink exhibition ? We hope not.

TOOTH-ACHE.

THE celebrated GREGORIAN PASTE, for
instantly CURING TOOTH-ACHE, now renders the
painful operation of extraction quite unnecessary, as is daily proved
by the astonishing cures performed at No. 96, Cheapside, and atNo. 57, Pall-mall. It is mild, innocuous, and soothing; and im-
mediately removes the most acute pain, and destroys all sensitive-
ness in the nerve—a fact, the realisation of which the faculty are
respectfully invited to witness. This valuable discovery was pro-
videntially made by the Rev. Mr. Gregg, of Hertford, who was
for many years the martyr to an excruciating Tooth-ache. The
Composition now used with such success was the only one of many
that lie at different times prepared, which he found, not only on
trial in his own case, but in numerous others in an extensive pri-
vate administration of it, to be instantaneous in its effect, painless
in its operation, and so simple that it may be applied by the patient's
own hand.
It is sold in bottles, enclosed in cases, containing ample directions
for its use, with a stamp, and the discoverer's name on each.

MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.)

A mulatto boy, aged about 14 years, was placed at the
bar before Lord MONTFORD and Mr. HOSKINS, charged
with the daring robbery detailed in the following evidence.
Jane Phillips stated her husband was a b Aker, carrying
on business at No. 51, Paradise-street, Bryanstone-square.
Yesterday, having left her shop for scarcely more than a
minute, when she returned she saw the prisoner running
past the window with something like a long box in his
hand, and looking towards the drawer where the daily re-
ceipts of the shop are put, she saw it was gone. She im-
mediately ran after him, and by calling out " Stop thief!"
succeeded in having him arrested.
A young man named William Brett, residing in the Edg-
ware-road, said he observed three other boys with the pri-
soner shortly before he was taken into custody. He also knew
him to be a bad character, and, hearing the cry " Stop
thief," he caught the prisoner, who had a momcnt before
dropped the till containing the money.
The police constable to whom " Young Hopeful" was
given in charge, said he reckoned the money, and found it
amounted to 12s. 6d. in silver and 3s. in copper. He also
called the attention of the Bench to the fact of the prisoner
being in his stockings, having taken off his shoes that he
might the more noiselessly carry on his opperations. He
was remanded until Thursday to give time for effecting the
capture of the other boys alluded to, as the prisoner is
known to form one of a gang infesting that neighbourhood.
A young man, having the appearance of a respectable
tradesman, was charged by a man named Henry Upton,
residing at 59, Werner-street, with picking his pocket
last night. From his evidence it would appear he met the
prisoner between eleven and twelve o'clock last night, in
Portland-place, when, having asked the latter to drink some
gin nub him, they went to a public-house, and after re-
making some time, departed thence to a kind of " Tom
and Jerry" shop, to get something:for supper, here he missed
his handkerchief, and gave the prisoner into custody.
The constable who arrested him, said he found the hand-
kerchief in the prisoner's pocket, and upon his drawing it
forth, he almost fainted. _ _ .

The prisoner said, in his defence, that they both were
tipsy, he might have put the handkerchief into his
pocket inadvertently, but solemnly denied his intention of
dishonesty.
He was remanded until Thursday.
A. boy named Jones was brought up in the custody of
police-constable 63 D, charged with letting off fire-works in
High street, Sonal.r,' Town.
Mr. HosiuNs having made inquiries from the boy's em
ploycr, and finding he bore an excellent character, fined
him in the mitigated penalty of ten shillings, telling him at
the same time the fine could, be imposed to the amount
of five pounds.

MARKET.
The supplies have been rather moderate during the past
week. Trade is rather lively, and prices witout variation.

PROVISION MARKET.
There is a steady business doing in most descriptions, and
prices are very firm; still we do not quote them higher. They
may likewise be expected to be so, as various other necessa-
ries of life are on the advance.

SEED MARKET.
Supplies moderate and trade for the most part heavy, ex-
cept in Rape Seed. Prices are without variation.

TALLOW MARKET.
P. Y. C. is flat at 58s. on the spot and for delivery. The
stock is about 21,900 casks.

COLONIAL MARKET.
To-day there was nothing doing by public sale, and by pri-
vate contract the operations are confined to bare necessity. For
the week there is but little business advertised. To-morrow
we have public sales of 130 cks of Barbadocs Sugar, and 300
bags Saltpetre only. Until the close of this year we do not
expct any revival in business. The imports are now rather
heavy,

NEWCASTLE CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 2.
We had a moderate supply of Wheat at this day's market
from the farmer's, but a fair show of samples from Norfolk
and Suffolk, and the whole was taken off at an advance of 3s.
Per quarter on the rates of last Saturday. The supply of
Barley was scarcely adequate to the demand, and prices ruled
full Is. per quarter higher. Rye would have commanded 2s.
to 3s. per quarter more money, but was generally held on
higher terms. Oats sold freely at late prices. For Malt we
experienced a fair sale, at an advance of 2s. per quarter.
Beans and Peas were a turn dearer. Flour was much inquired
after, and brought to-day 3s. per sack more money.

EGYPT.

The following is a let ker from the Semaphore dc Mar-
seilles, dated Beyrout, ober 30 :
" I hasten to forward to you the details respecting the
gross insult just offered to the English Consul at Alexan-
dretta ; they are given me by a well-informed person, on
whose veracity I can depend.
" On the evening of the 13th of October the English
Consul being at his window, saw at the foot of the wall an
Arab employed in a way little respectful to the consular
habitation. The Consul sent his janissary to drive him
away. The next day eight or ten sailors belonging to the
same corvette as the Arab returned to perform the same
insult.

" The consul, witness of this new outrage, ordered one
of his janissaries to go and put a stop to it. But the
janissary was overwhelmed with abuse, and was even de-
prived of the silver-topped stick, whichis the mark of
his dignity. He was, moreover, beaten with the same
stick. The consul, not being able to hold out longer, ran

to the spot, and on seing more sailors e,,ming up asked
the reason of such conduct, when the con ,u 1 himself was
as-sailed, and beaten severely. He got off with difficulty,
having received a dangerous bruise on the head.
"The outrage done to the Consul could sc,arcely he
greater. But what will surprise you more is that the
governor of the town refused the consul all satisfaction ;
the commander of the cutter, who sailed on the same night,
refused the same thing to the insulted consul. It is said
also that it was the commander who ordered the boat to
be scat to land, in order to insult the Britannic consur

MAGAZINES CONTINUED.

THE SPORTSMAN-NEW SPORTING
MAGAZINE.

These periodicals, which appeal to a class, rather than
to the generality of readers, in every respect fulfil the ob-
ject of their publication, by minutely recapitulating all the
various field sports of the month. They are, each of them,
accompanied by appropriate embellishments.

THE SPORTING MAGAZINE. Pittman.
This Number is embellished with no fewer than four il-
lustrations, and very beautiful and appropriate they are
too. The first is Woodcock Shooting, from a painting by
Turner, engraved by Patterson ; the second Duncan and
the Deer, painted and engraved by the brothers Corbould,
the subject being supplied from a striking anecdote told by
Walter Scott ; the third Abdallah, an Arabian horse, by
Engleheart ; and the fourth Forrester, a blood-hound of
most formidable dimensions, by the same artist. The li-
terary articles, if we may judge from their titles, are just the
sort to suit the taste of sporting circles. For our own
part, we know so little of these matters as to be half in.
clined to believe the testimony of the native of the " sweet
county Cork," who, in accounting for his having a gun, be-
fore a Jury, swore that he had kept it from the time it Was a
little p:stol, and hoped to retain it till it would grow a big
cannon!

ACHROMATIC PILOT TELESCOPES. Price 18s.,

These Telescopes are so light in their construction, that they
can be carried without the slightest inconvenience, and are of suffi-
cient power to discern terrestrial objects as far off at all times as
the horizon will admit. It is presumed that their quality and price
will be a sufficient recommendation ; at the same time F. W. begs
to observe, that being a Practical Optician, and the maker of Tele-
scopes, he is enabled to offer a superior article at a lower price
than any other house in the trade. Gentlemen frequenting or
