POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARYLEBONE.

be d—d if she would not do him some injury, at the
same time threatening to set tire to the house. Com-
plainant added, that from thB state which defendant
frequently got into, he was fearful that she would really
carry her threat into execution; the words which she
and the doctor were in the habit of applying towards
each other were of the worst description, and he should
be exceedingly glad to get r►d of them, but they seemed
to have made up their minds not to leave.

Defendant—it is not at all, likely, your Worship, that
I should think for a moment of setting fire to a house
in which I have uninsured property that I would not
take 2,0001. for?

Mrs. Paris deposed to her having heard defendant use
most disgusting expressions, and with an oath declare that
she would burn down the place.
Mr. Morley, a lodger, slso gave evidence as to the
utterance of the threat alluded to.

Defendant—Your own wife has gone and sat dovt nby
the side of my husband before my own face, and you
know that what. I say is true.
Mr. LoNG—What do you say to threatening to burn
down the complainant's house? Defendant—l 'never
said I would do anything of the sort.
Croker, who had evinced a considerable degree of
excitement during the proceedings, declared that there
was no truth whatever in the statement made by com-
plainant; the fact was, he (the doctor) had by him a
quantity of gun cotton, which he used as a medicine,
having a bad leg, and his wife had used the expression
" take care of that cotton, or it may, perhaps, set fire to
the place;" that, and nothing more, occurred in reference
to any fire, nor was it at any time the intention of Mrs.
Croker to do any mischief.

Tito
MAOISTRA.TE came to the conclusion that corn•
plainant has reasonable grounds for fear, and ordered
1)r. Croker to enter into his own recognizance in 100 L,
and to find two sureties in 501. each, fur the peaceable
behaviour of his wife fur the next three months. The
required bail was given, and the parties quitted the court.
I'Am-constable Lvershed, 409 8, was charged with
having illegally taken Dr. Cruller and his wife into cus-
tody, on the evening of the 4th inst., for an alleged dis-
turbance in the street, close to their landlord's dwelling.
The case was heard at this court on the following day,
when defendants were, after a lung investigation, dis-
charged. Several witnesees were now examined, and
defendant, who was considered to have exceeded his duty
in taking up the doctor, but not so with respect to Mrs.
Croker, was fined 40s.

Rear- Admiral Mackay, at pi-, scni in h: • t a css..ut.:

Commodore Sir Charles rhohim, K.C.8., has arrived
in town, and paid a visit to the Admiralty yesterday.
The St. Vincent, 120, Captain S. C. Dacres, is nearly
dismantled at Portsmouth. She will have returned all
her stores by to-night, and will be paid off on Saturday,
as we have before stated.

The Apollo, 8, troop-ship, Commander RAwstorne,
arrived at Corfu en the 26th of 111.4rch, after a passage of
14 days from Gibraltar, during which she met with some
tempestuous weather. The mea.•les on board attacked
all the children of the artillery, and an officer and some
of the men of the Apollo, but they were of the mildest
description. Lord Seaton, the High Commisssioner, en-
tertained the Commander and officers of the Apollo at
dinner.

The Arrogant, 46, screw steam-trigate, Captain Fi-z-
-roy, was tried at Portsmouth yesterday. This chef
d'auvre of naval architecture wei;t out of harbour in the
morning at eleven o'clock, having on board R.ar- Admiral
Superintendent Prescott, C. 8., Rear-Admiral Sir Tf os.
Cochrane, Captain Chadds, C. 8., and a number of other
distinguished officers, with a number of gentlemen be-
longing to the steam department. She was fully rigged,
having her sails bent, and top gallant yards across; her
stores and weights of all descriptious were on board, with
the exception of powder and shells, and the clothing 2nd
traps belonging to her crew; she had also about 300 tons
of coal on board, sufficient for about fourtei n days' con•
sumpton; with all these weights, she was one streak and
rather better of copper out of the water : her draft was
forward, 18 feet 2 inches; aft, 19 feet 5 inches. She went
out against a flood tide at the rate of about six knots,
scarcely making a bubble at her bows, gliding impercep
tibly through the water without noise or commotion.
We should say she carried her main-deck guns at least
12 feet above the water. We have before stated the
splendid way in which this ship came into harbour,
when she arrived from receiving her engines at Wool-
wich. With her 360 horse power she came into Ports-
mouth harbour against a hurricane of wind dead in her
teeth, proving the power of the screw (although light in
proportion to this vessel of 1,900 tons burthen), to pro-
pel ber against wind and tide. Independent of her aux-
iliary screw, she is decidedly one of the finest frigates
that ever was built. She proceeded round Spithead, and
along the measured mile, wbeu the result of the trials
were as follows:

Min. Sec. Knots.
Ist mile in 7 29 ... 807 Mean speed knot!
2d mile in 7 5 ... 8.47 j 8.294
3d mile in 7 18 ... 8.219
4th mile in 7 15 ..• 8.2758-
Number of revolutions made, 55; not up to the full speed
ship passing through the water very easily, and the en•
gines working most satsfactorily, the ship not feeling
the least vibration from the working of the screw. The
Arrogant returned into harbour at halt-past four o'clock,
and to-day will go into the angle dock to have her copper
broomed down; whence she will come out again, pro-
bably, on Saturday, and will proceed an the 17th to
Cork to try her steaming and sailing powt r at sea.
The Penelope, 16, steam-frigate, Captain L. P. Jones,
has nearly returned her stores at Portsmouth, and is
dismantling in readiness to be pad off on Saturday next.
The Plumper, 12, Commander ilolloth, has reshipped
her bowsprit, with more stave than formerly. She has
taken her lower rigging off the mastheads, andis getting
her tops over. For what purpose she is delayed a month
by the engineer we know not.
The Reynard, 10, Commander Cracroft, is in the basin
at Portsmouth, having her hawse holes altered, and re-
ceiving six new timber heads, which ware carried away
on her port quarter by a heavy sea that struck her during
her last cruize.

Masters Assistants—R. I'. N. Pearce, and E. J. Young,
to the Fisgard, flag-ship, at Woolwich.

The Right Hon. Sir Francis T. Baring, Bart., the
First Lord of the Admiralty, returned to town last eight
from Hampshire; and Rear-Admiral Deans Dundas,
C. 8., M.P., returned to town from Minehead, Somerset,
and this morning, accompanied by their colleague,
Captain Milne, with Captain Sir Baldwin W. Walker,
C. 8., the Surveyor of the Navy, and Lieut.-Colonel
Irvine, C. 8., the Director-General of Architectural and
Engineering Works, proceeded in the Admiralty steam
yacht Black Eagle, Master Commander Cook, from
Woolwich, to Sheerness and Chatham Dockyards, on
an official visit. We must say we envy not their
Lordships' debit after the late wholesale reductions,
for we cannot anticipate a reception at all
confident, cordial, or welcome. Gradual reduc-
tion by death or superannuation there could
have been no objection to, but whilst there are so many
jobs and extravagances in the departments repre-
sented by the two gallant officers who accompany their
Lordships—the reformation of which would effect a con-
siderable saving in the navy estimates—we are quite sure
the public will not be satisfied with the sacrifice of the poor
artificer and labourer's daily bread. In the one department,
however, we must admit there has been, from the public
attentien which has been drawn to it, some attempt at
correction of waste and abuses; and we are sure there is
not a man more ardent in the work of revision and cor-
rection than Sir Baldwin Walker himself; but in the
other department there is much to commence with, and
the end is interminable. Nothing but an entire change
of system will meet the evils connected with it. False-
hood, trickery, and evasion, are mixed up with tempo-
rising, incompetence, and downright injustice ; and the
first step towards amendment is a searching Parliamen-
tary inquiry, in which we shall be prepared to assist to
the utmost of our power and ability.
The present Admiralty are sc.ircely responsible for
the monstrous abuses of the system. They are of earlier
origin, but from :first to last—from the borroning of
engineer officers from the army to do Admiralty work,
up to the present time, profound ignorance and assump-
tion, as well as reckless waste and the grossest unfair-
ness, have characterised the progress of soldier-civil en-
gineers. There is not a dockyard in the kingdom which
has not suffered from the meddling of these " belted
aspirants," as they were termed by the civil t ngineer
journal on their appointment, and notwithstanding the
thousands of pounds that have been spent on their tra-
velling expenses to the manufacturing districts in pur-
suit of practical science and experience, it is at length
palpable to the meanest capacity that they are too old
to learn, too conceited to take advice, and too proud to
be persuaded, except to truckle to keep their places. We
are mistaken, however, if the time is not approaching
when the Admiralty, repudiating Ordnance help, and
Ordnance extravagance, whether royal or corporate, will
look to civil architects and engineers for civil services in
their dockyard buildings, basins, slips, and sea-walls; in
a word, that their Lordships will at one swoop clear
away the present useless, incapable, and expensive staff
of unknown names, with pompous initials, and commence
the department de novo.—Herald.

Mrs. Croker, wife of Dr. Croker, M.D., occupying
apartments at the residence of Mr. Paris, 48, Stanhope-
street, Hampstead-road, appeared before Mr. Long, by
virtue of a warrant which had been obtained against
her by her landlord.
Complainant stated that the doctor and his wife had
lived with him as lodgers about three weeks, and that
during that period they had been constantly quar-
relling and making a great noise. On Monday,
the 2d instant, at a late hour of the night, de-
,endant, who was intoxicati d, and, as usual, violent
in her language, was requested by him, (com

intoxicated that night, and turned her out, and that see
went over to Val worth, and slept with her lauedre-s at
that place. That on the followiag ,;ay (Sunday) she re
turned home, and having rung th. led!, she was not ad-
mitted, and then went away and walked about Walworth
until the evening.
Mr. CoTTINGEIAM—Did you take any liquor on Sun-
day ?—She replied that all she had drank was a glass of
porter—that it was between seven and eight o'cleck when
she got to the river-side, and was tin-re met by the man
who forced her into the scone-yard, and that it was the
same man who carried her from thence after the assault
on board the barge, where the offence was repeated •by
two other men. The complainant here fainted away,
and was obliged to be supported, but she recovered in a
short time, and still adhered to the accuracy of her state-
ment of what had befallen her, and added that she was
not a consenting party. And when asked why she had
not made an alarm in tha stone yard situate very near a
public thoroughfare, she ascribed it to the nervous and
frightened condition in which she was at the time.
The complainant's uncle, by whom she was accom-
panied to the court, was called forward, and he stet« d
that she was married to his nephew, and had been so for
sixteen years. That she was a well educated and ac-
complished woman—her father, who died some years
ago, being a man in good circumstances. That for the
last few years she bad unfortunately contracted a habit
of drinking to excess, which caused much unhappiness
at home, but that he (witness) never heard the slightest
imputation on her character as a virtuous woman. He
knew that she was a very nervous woman, which was
increased by her intemperance, and his impression was
that a woman in her condition could offer but little re-
sistance to an attack such as that described to have been
perpetrated upon her. That her husband was much
attached to her, but that, in consequence of her hav-
ing fallen into dissipated habits, he had latterly bi come
negligent and careless of her. He added, that the first
intimation he had of the alleged outrage was on seeing
the account of it in the newspapers, and that he retainer:
a legal gentleman to conduct the prosecution against his
niece's assailants.

The complainant was recalled, and, in answer to Mr.
Cottingham, she said, that she did not go into any pub
lic-house with the man who had forced her into the stone-
yard, neither before nor subsequent to the outrage ; that
it such an assertion was utter,d by any person it was
wholly without foundation. '1 hat when in the cabin of
the barge, she was held down while the two men perpe-
trated the outrage, and it was then she called upon Foley,
who was present, to protect her, but he refused on the
ground already mentioned. She was confident that she
was assaulted by three men.
Robert Bell, being sworn, stated that he was in the
employ of Mn Chandle, a pipemaker at Bankside. The ,t
on Sunday evenine last he was in the " Welsh Trooper"
public-house, Bankside, about eight o'clock, t.nd was
called out by Foley. He (witness) walked a short dis-
tance, and met Donovan and the complainant walking.
together. That he looked at them and saw them go
down the 3tone yard together. Witness returned to tire
Welsh Trooper again, and in about half an hour from
the time he first saw the parties he saw them come into
the public house together, and Donovan called for a pint
of halt-and-half, which they drank between them.
Mr. COTTINGIIAM—Did any other person see the par-
ties in the puhlict-house together? Witness—Yes, Miss
Garnett, the landlord's daughter, drew the half and-haA
for them, and must have seen them drinking together.
The witness added that Donovan went out first, followed
by the complainant, who had a handkerchief tied round
the upper part of her face as if to conceal a black eye.
Mr. COTTINGHAM—Who paid for the half-and-half,
complainant or the prisoner Donovan? Witness—The
latter paid for it.
Mr. COTTINCHAISE (to complainant)—You have heard
what the witness has stated upon oath ; is it trueT—
Complaeinant—lt is not true.

Policeman 104 M stated that, about half-past nine
o'clock on the night in question he saw Donovan and n
woman, whom he believed to be the complainant, walk-
ing together on Bankside. The latter held a handker-
chief up to her face, as if she was anxious to conceal it,
when be approached them. Knowing Donovan, the
latter stopped to speak to him, and wanted him to have
some gin, which he refused, while the female walked on
alone. Donovan then proceeded after the woman, and
witness went on his beat. About half-past ten o'clock
the same night witnes was informed of the alleged out-
rage upon the complainant, and he saw her, and she
then informed him of it, and said that her assailants had
robbed her of 45., a handkerchief, ring, and brooch. She
pointed out Donovan as one of her assailants.
Foley said that he saw no person but Donovan in the
barge with the complainant, and as she complained of
being cold in the cabin, he (Foley) went ashore to get
a light and some wood to make a fire to warm her.
Donovan said that at present he declined saying any-
thing.

COTTINOHAM said there was no doubt a most
gross outrage had been perpetrated on the complainant,
and that he should take care that the whole of the cir-
cumstances should be thoroughly investigated, in order
to bring her assailants to justice. For this purpose ho
should remand the prisoners until Monday, and gave
directions that the publican's daughter and other wit-
nesses should be in attendance.
WESTMINSTER.

Peter Van Neirop, a Dutchman, was charged with
having 'feloniously assaulted and wounded two persons
named Thomas Murrell (father and-son), who, in conse-
quence of the serious nature of the injuries inflicted;
were unable to attend before the magistrate.
Sarah Murrell stated that she resided with her family
in Duke-street, Chelsea. At a little after 11 o'clock on,
the previous night she was sitting in one of her apart-
ments, which were up .stairs, when she was suddenly
alarmed by hearing her husband (Murrell senior) cry
out " Murder!" Her son, who had been sitting with hi-r
immediately hastened down stairs, and she followed,
when she saw the prisoner, with an iron candlestick in
his hand, strike her husband twice o❑ the head with it,
and a great dual of blood flawed from the wounds. On
her son interfering in his father's behalf the prisoner at-
tacked him also, and inflicted two severe wounds, one
upon the side of the face near the ear, and the other on
the upper part of the head. The police were called,
and the prisoner was given into custody.
In reply to an inquiry from the clerk who took the
depositions,
The witness stated that the prisoner occupied the lower
part of the house in which they lived, and added that
she believed that the cause of the diflerenco between the
prisoner and her husband which led to the violent attack
complained of was, that her husband had solicited the
accused not to fasten the street door until the return
home of his daughter and one of her brothers, who had
gone to Cremorne Gardens that evening.
The police produced a very heavy iron candlestick, the
foot of which was much battered; they also handed in
the following certificate:—

"April 12, 1849.
" We certify that Thomas Murrell, the father, and
Thomas Murrell, his son, have received several severe
contused wounds on the head, and are not in a fit state
to attend before a magistrate.
"A. COOPER GARDINER, }
" BENJAMIN S. HOPWICK, Surgeons."
The prisoner, in reply to the charge, complained, in
broken Et.iglish, that he always liked the street-door to
be closed at an early hour; but the Murrells were so ir-
regular in their habits that, notwithstanding all remon-
strances, his wishes were not complied with. There was
also continually much disturbance and unpleasantness
caused by them, and, on the present occasion, he was
pulled about and pushed down two or three times before
he touched the parties.

Mr. BURRELL, after perusing the medical certificate,
remanded the prisoner for a week.

the directors of this oh.A.ity was held at the Londe
Coffeehouse, Ludgate-hill, yesterday afternoon, Mr. Pugh in the chair. The report of the committee state,
that the establishment at Margate was in a satisfactory
condition, and they were glad to say that the most gre;
iifying results had taken place with reference to 1"f
general treatment of the patients, the great majority 0t
were cured. It was, however, a painful tact thist,
the funds of the charity had been during the past Ye% inadequate to the calls made upon them, and there ws
a balance due to the treasurer. The income for the
year from all sources amounted to 2,7731, and the el;
penditure to 2,8881., showing an expenditure exceediob
the receipts by 1151. The infirmary contained 130 beds'
and during the year there have been 230 in-patients'
and 350 out patients, making a total of 21,000 patient°
relieved since the institution of the charity, in 1796'
This report was received snd adopted, and after trans

GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN RAILWAY."'
The Great Southern and Western Railway Comps%
have determined on opening a booking station at Geulni,
Cross on the 23d instant, within five miles of Casbe.,'
and which will have the effect not only of adding greatl/
to the revenue of the company, but will bring this inn'
portant town an hour nearer to Dublin than. heretofore'
The change will be of the greatest consequence, as then
day mail from Dublin and London can be delivered here
two hours earlier every evening, and start two hour'
later every morning.—Clonmei Chronicle.

tisement the many advantages appertaining to the above gar-
ments. In the first place, Messrs. NICOLL purchase the wool
direct from the foreign grower, and it does not leave their possession
until it is produced in a complete form and ready for the inspection
of their Patrons. Messrs. NICOLL are honoured with the patronage
of their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert, Prince George of Cam-
bridge, Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, his Grace the Duke of Wel•
lington. and all others distidguisned in Rank and Fashion, the Court,
the Pulpit, and the Bar.

THE NICOLL.—A patented garment and pos•
sassing tuts peculiarity, that whilst in ite exterior it preserve.
every characteristic of the Registered Paletot, it can, by simply
detaching an inner ii ing, be conver ed from a warm to a light
0 ercoat, or vice versa, at th- pleasure of the wearer. This same
inner lining, when detached, of itself forms a most comfortable
reading or dressing jacket. There are many other advaitages con-
tained in THE NICOLL, ren4ering it as a garment a most valuable
adjunct in a variable climate, also for travelling, &c., but it should
be seen and worn to be fairly appreciated, but it can be had in Lon-
don only at 114, 116, 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNHILL,

position they have attained through the employment

to introduce articles of gentlemanly costume in the most
taste. Messrs. N. are well aware that their great popularity irdrnfceed
by the high character exhibited in every point of the Registered
Paletot, &c., Scc., has caused many to assume a somewhat similar
title for their goods, but the copy has consisted only in a close re-
semblance of tae naive but not of the article ; a caret's' observance
of the annexed address is therefore respectfully solicited, where the
above garments can only be obtained in London.
