POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
CAUTION TO APPRENTICES.—A youth about 14 years of,
age, was brought up by his master, charged with creating great
disturbance in the neighbourhood in which his master lived,
by crying murder, &c. His master, a shoemaker residing
opposite the Paragon, Kent Road, stated that he was
well fed, had four meals per day, and he would do nothing
but what he pleased ; and that the violence of his conduct could
be no longer endured. The boy's mother attended and con.:
firmed all the master had stated. After an admonition from Mt.
Allen, who told him what such conduct was likely-to brims
him to, and telling him if he came. before him stain, he
would be sent to the Mill and solitary confinement, the boy,
with tears in his eyes, promised a speedy amendment.
A man and his wife, named Strangleinent, residing in Horse..
monger-lane, appeared before the Magistrates for the purpose
of arranging a separate maintenance. The charge against the
husband was, that lie was too much given to the fair sex, and
that against the wife, extravagance and pledging his clothes.—.
A great deal of recrimination passed, and it was finally agreed
that the husband should allow her 7s. per week, on giving up
the duplicates of his clothes

in the house of Mr. Westley, of Lamb's Conduit-street, where
fC heriL

she lived servant, and whose case was fully reported at the
Coroner's Inquest, was brought up. It was then stated
that Mr. Fernandez, a surgeon, was of opinion that the child
was born alive, but that death might have immediately fol.
lowed by convulsions, and that the wound at the back of the
head, which was superficial, did not occasion the loss of life,
and that it might have been caused from other circumstances.
—The only fresh evidence was given by Read, the chief officer.
On the 19th, when taking the accused to prison, she exclaimed,
" I shall be hanged ;" to which no observation was made. On
bringing her up yesterday, witness asked after her health, and
if any one had been to see her ? She answered that she was
ill ; that she had a sista, living in the neighbourhood of Mon-
mouth-street ; that she did not know the street ; and if she did,
her shameful act would prevent her applying to her. she had
come from Cork, with other girls, after the death of her pa.
rents; had lived nine months at Walworth, before she went
to Mr. Westley's. Read cautioned her to mind what she said
to him, and she inquired anxiously if she should be hanged.—
The prisoner was fully committed for murder, previously to
which she made a demand of some money found in her box,
In a tone arising from ignorance, which drew some observa-
tions from the Bench. The money was restored, and the wages
due was paid by her master.

B OW-STREET.—G co. Johnson was brought up, charged with
having committed a gross assault upon a young lad named
Dobell, who is deaf and dumb, and the son of his Majesty's
head page.—lt appeared, through the interpretation of the com-
plainant's sister, that he and the defendant are apprentices to a-
Mr. Mackenzie, bookbinder, in Crown-street, Westminster,
and that they slept in the same bed, and in the morning corn.
plainant having intimated that he was very cold, and wanted
more clothes, the defendant commenced pushing him about.
and eventually pushed him out of the bed.—Mr. Mackenzie
then stepped forward and observed, that he had had occasion
repeatedly to find' fault with, the defendant. for hii cruelty to.
wards the poor lad, and about eight montliSago lie (defendant)
so severely beat Dobell, that he was obliged to send for his fa-
ther, who not only reprimanded his son, but gave DOhell 2s.fid.'
as a recompence. This was of no use, for Johnson said he
neither cared for his father nor for his master, and that ho
would beat Dobell as often as he pleased.—Sir R. I.3lmitt.:
lie shall not do that; and we will. see whether he cares for, a
prison more than for his father—The defendant was then or-
dered to find bail, and in default to be committed.

LAUNCH Or THE GEORGE THE FOURTH.-011 Saturday
last a fine new ship, of the largest class, built for the East India.
Company's service at Northileet, was launched from 'Messrs.
Pitchers' Dock, at that plate ; Campbell .Majoribanks,
the Chairman, and Sir George Abercrombie Robinson, Bart.,
the Deputy Chairman, accompanied by the other members of
the Court of Directors, arrived at Northfleet at 12 o'clock, and
proceeded to the yard, where a platform had been erected for
their reception. The necessary arrangements having been com-
pleted, and the ships removed, the launch took place. As she
is the first ship which the East India Company have built since
the King's accession to the throne, it had been determined that
she should be named Cleorge the Fourth, after his present
Majesty ; that ceremony was performed by the Chairman',
amidst the acclamations of the assembled vi itors, after which,
the company retired to partake of a cold collation that had
been prepared ; when the Chairman having prefaced the toast
by some appropriate observations, gave the health of his
Most Gracious Majesty King George the Fourth, which was
drank with the most lively demonstrations of loyalty and of
attachment to his Majesty. " Prosperity to the East
India Company," and " Success to the new ship," having
been drank, the Chairman and Deputy Chairman returned to
town ; having previously desired that the men belonging to the
yard and their families, should all have an opportunity of drink..
' ing the health of their King. Notwithstanding the unfavour-
able state of the weather, which prevented the attendance of
many families of the surrounding neighbourhood, the nwsiber
assembled was very considerable, and we were gratified to otte
serve, that all were delighted at the opportunity which was
afforded them by the East India Company, to testify their fay
vent attachment to their King, ana to his Government,

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY
Extrackfrom the Morning Papers, N0v.29,1825.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
We are told, the first intimation that was given
to the people of Calcutta of the destination of the
division -of the army under Sir Archibald Camp-
bell, was from Lady Amherst, at one of her musi-
cal parties, when she produced a map (which, by
sad experience, we find was not a very correct
one) of the Burmese empire, and informed her
company, pointing to the place, that on such a
day Sir A. Campbell would be in possession of
Rangoon. We cannot help wishing that her
Ladyship and her Lord had been performing the
Koo Too before the Throne of the " Celestial
Empire," or in any other place than the Cabinet
of Bengal, when planning the invasion of Burma.

Although the report of the Duke of Bucking-
ham going Governor-General to India is still be-
lieved by many, we cannot be brought to think
the Cabinet seriously wish the Court of Directors
to make the appointment ; and we have too high
an opinion of that Body to believe, after the late
Ministerial job they were tricked into a partici-
pation of, by giving their sanction to the appoint-
ment of so unfit -a person as Lord Amherst, that
that Body can now be brought to -appoint any
man whose character, temper, and talents are
not of the first class. India is now in that very
unsatisfactory state that it will require the hand
oflt master to restore its finances, and the confi-
dence of the natives in our power, and justice.
It is not a stranger to its politics that is suited
for India at this awful crisis; whoever is chosen,
ought to be one conversant in Indian affairs,
who. has . not •on his arrival every thing to
rear any man who goes out, let him be who
he may (his Majesty's Government having, it
would appear, determined- to exclude from their
confidence all men in, or who had been brought
up-in the Company's service), unless it be the
Marquesses of Wellesley, or Hastings, Lord
William Bentinck, or Mr. Wallace, so long and
so usefully employed as a Member of the Board
of Controul, must for a considerable time be de-
pendant on the official and other persons he finds
there, for information and advice. Ile ought,
therefore, to be a man of sound judgment, to be
able to discriminate between opinions given him
by men of sense, talents, and integrity, and those
of men who are generally the most forward to
offer advice, and who will give such as they
think most likely to be pleasing to the head of
the Government. We have seen letters from all
parts of India, giving a sad picture of the present
reign, and the consequences likely to ensue, un-
less a speedy change takes place.—(lbid.)
