POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARYLEB ONE.
John Maguire, an athletic Irishman, who has been several
times before the magistrates for desperate assaults, was charged
with robbery, and assisulting two policemen. The prisoner
pleaded intoxication. He was fully committed to take his
trial at the Criminal Court.

UION-HALL.
Two fashionably dressed young men, who gave their names
William Primate, of Crawford cottage, Albany-road, and
Henry Davis, Walworth Villa, Camberwell, were charged
with riotous conduct and breaking- down some palings in front
of a house at Camberwell.
They were fined 11. each for the damage, and ordered to
Snd securities for their good behaviour for six months.
James Armstrong and Sarah Nixon were finally examined
on a charge of robbing Mr. Williams, a linen-draper, and
Mary Pratt, a dress-maker, on the charge of receiving a por-
tion of the property. The three were fully committed for trial.

BOTANICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.—The Ordi-
nary Meeting was held Friday evening, Dr. M'lntyre, F. L. S.,
in the chair. The Secrets!), announced donations of books
and plants. Some Members were elected, and others pro-
posed. Twenty Foreign Members, who had been recommended
by the Council, were elected"; after which the Secretary read
a paper from Mr. Wallis, Corresponding Member of the So-
ciety, on the genus Itlysotis. There are but few of our British
genera that have received so many additions of late years as
has the genus Mr/solis. Linnaeus, in his great work on Natu-
ral History, has described but two species, and includes under
them one or two varieties, which have since been established
as species. Those which he has described are 3'tyosotis pa-
lustris and Myosotis arvensis; these, then, may be taken as
t) pes of the genus, the other species possessing a claim to that
name only from some slight variations in their respective
characters. The paper went on to describe the observations
made by Mr. Wallis on this interesting genus, and a discus-
sion having ensued between the Chairman, Dr. Bossy, Mr.
G. E. Denncs, and other Members, the meeting adjourned
until May 4.

LIVERPOOL, SA TuRDAY.--Williani Hill paid the
last penalty of the law this morning, at eight o'clock, for the
violAtion and murder of Grace Avery, at Warrington. The
arrival
of the trains last night without a reprieve took away
from all who felt any interest in his fate the last hope of avert-
ing it. Just before the execution a very painful incident oc-
curred. some person left a letter directed to the Rev.
Chaplain, and doubly seemed with seals, at the door of the
prison, directing it to be immediately delivered. It was passed
with all possible speed, and reached the spot just in the middle
of the burial service, and a general impression was immedi-
ately created that it was a reprieve. The Clergyman quitted
the side of the criminal to open it ; but the hope was speedily
terminated, on discovering it to be merely a foolish anonymous
letter, thus inflicting much painful suspense at the last awful
moment. The conduct of Hill, we are informed, since his
condemnation has been most contrite and becoming. No au-
thentic account has yet been published of his disclosures to
his spiritual adviser, but we learn on good authority that he
denied, from first to last, any intention to murder, or that he
actually strangled the unfortunate woman. Ile was not com-
municative, and his intellect appeared to be naturally dull, and
little information was to be gained from him, but there was
strong reason to believe that, under the influence of liquor, he
had actually lost all distinct recollection of the circumstances
of the fatal night. The general feeling, we believe, is, that
ho was innocent of one, if not of both, of the crimes for which
he suffered. A mother, brother, and sister attended him in
the last hours of his existence.

A few days ago, a boy, ten years old, was gathering
sticks in a wood near Sauqueville, in the Seine Inferieure,
when he observed a she wolf carry one of her cubs in her
mouth into some bushes, and hide it. As soon as the animal
had departed, the boy went and took the cub, but the mother
heard him, and returned upon him. The bold boy, instead
of being intimidated, made a stand, and drew his knife, which
he flourished in the eyes of his assailant, who either from fear,
or; which is snore probable, from care of her remaining young
ones, retreated, and suffered her antagonist to carry off his
prize. For this trait oficourage the Mayor of the Commune
has given him a reward of 30f,
