POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

Two inhabitants, residing in Loudon-wall, entered the
court, and in the midst of the business addressed Sir P.
Laurie in an agitated manner, and wished for his inter-
ference to cause the removal of a coffin which was under-
stood to contain the body of a person who had died of
cholera in the churchyard of St. Alphage' in Philip -
lane, London-wall. They stated that the coffin had been
brought there and laid upon the ground with the lid off,
there being no grave in the churchyard at the time, and
it being understood that it had been removed to that
place by order of the coroner of London, merely that it
might be viewed by the gentlemen composing the coro-
ner's jury.
One of the innabitants said one of his children was
now ill, and he did not know how it might aggravate the
disease. The people were looking out of several win-
there he did not know, it something
dows that commanded a view of the churchyard. How
long
ge
it
tomt ditte tolay abate the nuisance.
Sir P. LAURIE said the public mind was fed by the
newspapers with accounts of cholera, and it frightened
them into it by hundreds. He should order Roe the
officer of the court to go and see the churchyard and re-
port as to the facts stated.
On the return of Mr. Roe, he said that from the
first and second floors of the houses close to the
churchyard the coffin could be seen as described, but
not from the pathway in the street, in consequence
of their being a very high wall. The lid was off,
and he certainly thought that instead of exposing it
in the churchyard, it might have been taken into the
church.
Mr. M`Lellan, one of the churchwardens, said that,
application had been made to him to allow the body
to be placed in the churchyard, but he positively re-
fused, but having occasion to' go out on business, he
handed the keys and -comnsuuicated his views to his
brother churchwarden. During his absence the 'ward
beadle repeated the application in such a way that the
churchwarden felt bound to obey the coroner, and gave
up the keys.
Sir P. LAURIE asked why an inquest was being held
on the body?
Mr. M'Lellan explained that in going round to• in-
quire from house to house the health of the parish, he
found a woman was dead whose sickness he had not
beard
as
u
the shutters were not open
a
Findingsome children had pulled them
open, and seen the body. As it was known her hus-
band was entitled to 161. from his club, the neighbours
were greatly excited, suspecting also poor woman
might have been murdered. As this information was
anything
of'
Sunday,
being-given to him, the man came walking up the court
with a pipe in his mouth, as unconcerned as if nothing
had happened.
Sir P. LAURIE then said he bad no doubt this was a
proper case for inquiry, and observed that with respect
to these house-to-house visitatioss, it did more harm
than good, as it continually reminded the tenants of the
pestilence' that was going abroad, and whatever trifling
indisposition befel them, they were reminded that it
might be the cholera. In the district where-he lived
the medical officer bad declined to visit from house to
house, believing that the alarm might create more miss
chief than the knowledge of cases of sickness could do
good. In ordinary times an inquiry of "Is anybody
sick in this house?" would be harmless enough, but the
people now were in' such a state of excitement that it
must be mischievous. He wished to know when thi
inquest would be held and the body removed?
Mr. *Leiter' said the inquest was then assembled.
The jury had viewed the body in the open yard, being
afraid to enter the room where the death had occurred.
Sir P. LAURIE said he did not see that he could inter:
fere with the coroner to any purpose, as the inquest
would soon be over and the body removed;- but he should
like the churchwarden to assure him such was the fact
as soon as the jury gave their verdict.
In about half an hour afterwards Mr. M'Lellan re:
turned to say that the jury bad given a verdict of deal))
by cholera, and that the body had been instantly rer
moved to the Golden-lane burial-ground to remain until
a grave could be dug.
One of the applicants said that the terror of the sass
ease tended much to produce mischief, for his servant!,
who had been looking out of an upper window, had sup-
poied she had caught the infection, and was then seriously
ill, as was likewise his son. When the ward beadle was
spoken to, he became very pompous and self-opiniated
on the subject.
Sir P. LAURIE—So they are all by virtue of their
office.--(Laughter. )
Mr. M•Lellan said he was exceedingly sorry his bro-
ther churchwarden parted with the keys at all.
The two applicants having thanked Sir P. Laurie for
his prompt attention to their ease, then retired.
WEST,tiIINSTER.
Edward Rees Sitzenich, late a clerk in the establish.-
ment of Messrs. Mare, upholsterers and house agents,
21, Lower Belgrave-place, was brought up for re-exa-
mination, charged with embezzling upwards of 400/ ~ re-
ceived by him in the transaction of their business.
Mr. Ballantine attended for the prosecution, and Mr.
Humphreys for the prisoner.
The circumstances of the case, in which there were
three distinct charges proceeded with against the pri-
soner, are briefly these :—The accused entered the ser-
vice of Messrs. Mare in January, 1847, as a clerk, his
dnty particularly being to attend to the house agency
department, see those who wished to let or take houses,
receive the money from the residents, and account for it
to the firm. The Messrs. Mare let a house belonging
to a gentleman named Fletcher, of Manor-house, Esher,
to a Mr. Harris, upon a written agreement drawn by the
prisoner for 3001., which was paid in three instalments,
Mr. Harris handing the prisoner a cheque for 1001. at the
time of signing the agreement in March, it being his
wish to pay that sum before t 'king possession, a second
and like amount on the 13th of July, and a correspond.
ing sum on the 17th of August, in anticipation of the
instalment due in September (the present month). The
first of these amounts the prisoner banded over to Mr.
Fletcher, but never accounted to either of the Messrs.
Mare nor the owner of the house for the other two sums.
In the third charge against the accused, his em-
ployers had let a house belonging to the Hon. Adolphus
Liddell to a lady named Burgoyne for 420 guineas, the
term of occupancy being from the 20th of February to
the end of last July. In May the prisoner handed over
to Mr. Liddell the first moiety of the amount agreed
upon, deducting the derhmiasion.for agency ; and sub-
sequently, at the expirdtion of thd term, wrote td Messrk
Mare, requesting theta to receive-the residue, 2201. 10s.--1
'The prisoner both— Wrote on the 9th of August and
waited upon Mr.- -Liddell on' -Wednesday fortnight, o'n '
both of which occasions he denied that he had receiveid
the moody,. alleging in the 'letter that Mrs. Burgoyne'
had been too ill to attend to business matters. Mr.
Liddell wrote to the lady, and it was then ascertained
that Mrs. Burgoyne's butler had paid Edgar Reader, ,a
junior clerk in Messrs. Mare's firm, the second 2201. 104.
on the 29th of July, which he had handed over to the
prisoner, who, in writing the letters to Mr. Liddell, had
done so without the knowledge or authority of his em-
ployers, whose names he signed.
Mr. Ballantine baying called two witnesses to prove
that the two last cheques of Mr. Harris and Mrs. Burgoyne
had been severally paid into the banker's upon which
they were drawn, asked for the committal of the prisoner
for trial, at the same time observing that he felt it his
duty to state that there were two other cases against the
prisoners, and that in the event of proceeding with them,
he would give Mr. Humphreys four or five days' notice.
The witnesses in attendance ware then bound over to
prosecute the prisoner at the Central Criminal Court,
but as there were two, whose evidence had been pre-
viously taken, absent, it was arranged that the prisoner
should be remanded from time to time, until the 17th, on
which day it is expected that the absent witnesses will
be able to attend to sign their depositions, and be bound
over to prosecute.
Bail, upon the application of Mr. Humphreys, was
refused.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
noted burglar, RLBO ROurUGarH,
who
-S
lately Tilla E E T .
John
Veal,
d from
the Middlesex Hospital, where he had beenf.dorsfined in
consequence of a serious accident which he sustained
when attempting to escape from , the police about ten
days ago, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, having
been retaken by the police yesterday morning. The
prisoner, it will be recollected, was dett cted, with a com-
panion, on the top of some houses in Argyll-street. The
prisoner made his way over the tops of the houses, and
entered a house, from which he leaped, and seriously
injured the bones of one of his feet. His companion fell
from the roof of a house, and was killed on the spot.
The prisoner, it appeared, contrived to elude the vigilance
of the constable who had ctiarge of him in the hospital,
and secreted himself for several days with success.
Police-Inspector Wball and Police-Sergeant Gray ob-
tained a clue to his hiding place, in Corbet-place, Brick-
-lane, and making their way into the house by the back
premises, in order to avoid an attack from a large and
ferocious bull-dog kept in the passage, they took the
prisoner as he was lying in bed, playing a game of
cards with one of his companions. The prisoner was
remanded till Saturday, and removed fur the present to
the infirmary.

Cornish had a very serious and trying time the first
week out. The cholera broke out among the crew on the
7th of August; for the first eight days there were from'
eight to ten new cases, and from three to five deaths.
daily for eight days in succession. Out of 22 seamen,.
only four could be mustered in a watch. 80 caies and'
31 deaths occured since the ship sailed. All that could
be done was done by Captain Cornish and his officers
for the sick. Several were ill when she reached Staten
Island; they were taken to the hospital. The vessel has
been detained at Quarantine.—New York Herald.
The shipwrights who struck work in Shields some
time ago, in consequence of an attempt on the part of
their employers to reduce their wages, persist in refus-
ing tO Submit to the proposed reduction, and the moat of
them have been set on again at their former rate of
wages.—Newcastle Journal.

MURDER OF THREE CHILDREN,

AND SUICIDE, BY A FA. FHER.
On Monday morning, about half-past eleven, a most
fearful tragedy took place at East-street, Ipswich, when
a man named Grayson, murdered three of his male
children, of the respective ages of four years, three years,
and eight months old, by cutting their throats with a
razor, and afterwards cutting his own throat with the
same instrument. An inquest upon the bodies was held
in the afternoon at the Dove Inn, when it appeared, by
the testimony adduced, that the father was a painter by
trade, about thirty-three years old, and had been mar-
ried nearly ten years, the fruit of his marriage being
seven children. He was always kind to his wife, fond
of his children, :it'd of particularly temperate habits.
During the last five or six weeks, how,ver, his appetite
failed him, and he frequently exhibited a strong tendency
to despondency, arising from the cares of his large
family, whom he seemed to apprehend he should not
be able properly to bring up. Latterly he suffered from
acute pains in his head, producing lowness of spirits, and
he sometimes was heard to say " I shall never live to get
through my troubles." On Sunday he retired to bed, and
appeared to sleep as usual ; but after breakfast yester-
day complained to his wile that he telt very languid and
faint. Shortly after eleven o'clock Mrs. Grayson went
shopping into the town, leaving her husband and children
in the house; but she had not been absent more that
half an hour when she heard the awful tidings of what
had occurred. As soon as she returned the sh(cking
spectacle presented itself of the four bodies lying on the
ground in the front roon, with their throats cut, all dead
—a razor lying between 'ler husband's legs. It appears
that no sooner had his wife left the house than the un-
fortunate man said to the three deceased children, who
were playing in the room, " Como to me here and play
in the front room, and I will give you a halfpenny each."
This observatien was heard by his daughter Emma,
aged eight, who wns washing up plates in the adjoining
kitchen, and she in consequence left the kitchen and
stood at the back door, where she saw her father take
the babe in his arms and carry him into the front room,
the other two children following. She then returned
to the washhouse, but in a few minutes went into the
front room, when she bAeld her father and three
brothers lying dead on the carpet. An alarm was given,
and surgical assistance instantly procured, but, of course,
it was ineffectual. After a lengthened examination of
several witnesses, .the jury returned a verdict, that Gray-
son had cut the throats of Arthur, Walter, Frederick,
and his own, while in a state of temporary derangement.

THE BERMONDSEY MURDER.
Yesterday atternoon Inspector Yates, of the M divi.
sion, who was bound over by the Coroner as the prose-
cutor of Frederick George Manning, and Maria his
wife, for the wilful murder of Patrick O'Connor, at
No. 3, Minver-place, Bermondsey, waited on Mr. Seeker,
at the Southwark Police Court, for his sanctioß to allow
a tradesman in the City to see the prisoner, in Horse-
monger•lane Gaol. _

The Inspector stated that on the afternoon of the Bth
of August a man answering the description of the male
prisoner called at the shop of Messrs. Eastman and Yeo,
stationers, No. 100, Cheapside, and requested to leave a
`small air-gun, concealed in a cloth wrapper. Mr. Yeo
'was in the shop at the time, rind observed that the man
'appeared in rather an excited state, but being particu-
larly engaged at the time, he made no observations to
the stranger, but received the gun and deposited it be.
hind his counter; and on the man promising to call for
It the next morning he left the shop. About 12 &clack
at noon (on the day of the murder) the same man called
for the air-gun, which was handed to him by Mr. Yeo,
and-he had not seen him since. Hearing of the murder,
and the particular mode in which it was perpetrated,
and observing in the newspapers the apprehension
and examination of the suspected murderer, he had every
reason to believe that Manning was the person who had
'called at his shop under the circumstances above de-
scribed. Mr. Yto accordingly communicated with the
police authorities, ani it was at his request the present
application was made, so that be might have an oppor-
' Lunity of seeing him.
Mr. Sacker—ls it your opinion that the person who
left and called for the gun is the man now i❑ custody?
InTector Yates—From the description given to me by
Mr. Yet), I have reason to believe he is the party.
Mr. Secker (to Mr. Yeo)—Had you a sufficient op-
,,portunity of observing the man's features so that yeti
might be enabled to identity him?
,Mr. Yeo—l had, Sir. When he called on the morn
trig of the 9th I took particular notice of him, as he was
a stranger to our establishment.
Mr. Seeker—Under those circumstances I shall fur-
nish you with an order to visit the gaol immediately, so
that you may have an opportunity of pointing out the
suspected person to the Inspector, if he is amongst the
inmates of the gaol.
The order of admission was accordingly made out by
the chief clerk, and Mr. Yeo, accompanied by Inspector
Yates, forthwith proceeded to the county gaol, where
every facility was aff irded them by the Governor. The
male prisoners in the various wards were then mixed
together, and Mr. Yeo was allowed to examine the tea-
tures of each minutely.• After a close inspection of all
present be was, however, unable to identify either of
them as the m,►ri who had deposited the air-gun on his
premises. They then left the prison and returned to
:he police court, when they informed the magistrate of
their unsuccessful inquiries.
Later in the day Mr. Adams, of the firm of Adams
and Hellstard, pawnbrokers, of Bermondsey-street,
wailed on the magistrate, and produced a pair of pistols,
which he said had been pledged at his shop by a person
answering the description of Manning. The applicant
stated that on the previous evening he was standing at
' his door, when he was accosted by one of the officers of
the police, who asked him whether he had taken any
pistols in pledge from any man during the last month.
He (applicant) considered for some moments, and recol•
lected that on the 14th of August a man called and
pledged a pair of pistols for 4s. He gave his name
Frederick Jennings, and said he resided at No. 24,
Morgan-square. He then minutely examined the pistols
and found one of them had recently been fired, and that
the other had not been used. His suspicions were im-
mediately excited, which caused him to come forward
and produce them.

Zr. Seeker then asked him if he bad made any in-
quiries at the house where the man had given his
address ?

-.He replied that he bad,,anct that the house was occu-
pied by a Mr. Walsh ; but that person*denied all know-
ledge of rany man of the name of Jennings. Applicant
then described the person of the man who pledged the
weapons, and he said that he had no such party ever
Judging in bis house.
Mr. Seeker asked him by whom the pistols were ma-
nufactured ?

Air. Adams said they had engraved upon them the
name of " Blanch, Gracechurch•street."

Mr. Seeker said he had better leave the discharged
pistol with Inspector Yates who would make the r:eces•
sary inquiries, and report thereon at a future period.
The pistol was then marked by Mr. Adams, and
handed over to the inspector.
In the course of the day Mr. Binns, as solicitor on
the behalf of Manning, made an application relative to
the sum of money, 201., which had been handed over to
Mr. Solom( nsfie legal adviser of Maria Manning, to be
applied to the purposes of defence in the forthcoming
prosecution. He said that out of the above amount he
had received 5/. 165., a sum totally inadequate to defray
the expenses which will be necessarily required for
his defence, and that the object of the present applica-
tion was for the purpose of requesting that a fair
proportion of the money already advanced might be
given up. He then quoted from " Chitty's Reports" a
clause on the relative rights of husband and wife, and
bearing upon the subject of his application, and which
was to the following effect:—" In general every contract
made with, or security given to, a married woman vests
in her husband, and he may sue alone to enforce the
contract; but if a note be given to a married woman, as
administratrix, even by her husband and others, then,
after her husband's death, she may sue the latter. If a
gift or legacy, whether specific or otherwise, be given to
a married woman, for her own use, and at her own dis-
posal, without other words, this vests the beneficial
interest separately in her, and in those cases, if no other
trustee be appointed, a court of equity would treat the
husband merely as a trustee, and compel him to act
accordingly. But if the bequest be to a married woman
for her own use and benefit without adding the words
' at her own ''isposal.' the wife does not take a separate
interest, but her husband is entitled." Having given the
above quotation, which he applied on the part of Man-
ning, that, at all events, halt the sum already given up
should be devoted to the purposes of his defence; that
there were seventy-three sovereigns, besides some
French Rentes of considerable value, found on Mrs.
Manning, and which had no connexion with the pro-
perty of the murdered man; and he contended that
Manning, as the husband, was justly entitled to the
whole of it.

Mr. Seeker said that at present he should make no
order on the subject, but should take time to consider
the matter.
Mr; Binns then withdrew.

Cuprous ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday night last, Mr.
J. drineau took a ticket for Starcross, at Bristol, where
he resides, intending to go to Sidmouth by way of Ex-
mouth. He lett the Bristol and Exeter down platform
at the usual hour, 1.15, A.M.. and at about 6, A.M., some
labourers on their way to work discovered him lying on
the up•rails, about half a mile above Wellington. As-
sistance was rendered, and he was promptly conveyed
to the. Half-moon Hotel, Wellington, where it was dis-
covered that several ribs were fractured, his body was
much bruised, and his head cut in many places. He
must have lain upon the line for upwards of three hours.
Mr. Blackmore, the intelligent superintendent of the
Bristol and Exeter Railway Police, was sent down to
make some inquiries, and he found that the unfortunate
gentleman must have fallen through the window, as the
doors were locked on the off-side. It is supposed that
at so late a period of the evening Mr. Crineau must have
-felt drowsy and fallen asleep; but, startled by the
whistle previous to coming into the Wellington station,
he 'must have forgotten where he was, and from the
lights, imagining himself in bed with his TOM in
flames, scrambled through the window, and met the
accident, from which, it is believed,, he has every
chance .6f recovering. He is, we understand, registrar
of births and deaths for one of the Bristol districts.—
Western Times.

Tun GANIE SEASON.—Partridges are said to be
very plentiful and in good condition, so that sportsmen
- are likely to have " game" enough before long; but the"l
poor birds will have a temporary respite in many cases,
till the corn is off the ground. Grouse shooting and
-deer stalking in the north are the groat royal and aristo-
cratic pursuits at this time, and the sport is said to be
excellent, great quantities of game having been almost
daily " bagged" by even ordinary shots, whilst "crack"
sportsmen bag their "braces" by seores.- Hares are also ,
said to be plentiful, so that the pleasures of the field are 1
likely this season to supply a satisfactory recreation to 1
the lovers of the "dog and gun."—Newcastlc journal.

Messrs. Taylor and 13;ight's circular states—Since
the statement of imports, was made up, there is a
further considerable arrival, chiefly of spring cern.
with which the market is now well supplied. During
the week, though more rain has fallen than of late,
harvest cperations have received no interruption, and by
the end of the week a Large quantity of grain will be
housed. The trade has been very much depressed all
the week, and where sales have been effected a further
reduction must have been submitti d to; at such a time
prices are often irregular. Owing to the harvest being
so general, there was but a thin attendance of farmers,
arid a consequent small show of eld wheat, and our mil-
lers, notwit} standing a decline in Mark-lane, were free
buyers at last week's prices. In foreign wheat but little
doing, though we had more inquiry from district millers.
More samples of new wheat were exhibited, qu,lity not
generally fine, or condition good, but reports are favour-
able as to the probable yield. Some fine Saal barley on
the marke?., but maltaters are hardly general buyers yet.
A continued good demand for grinding qualities. We
note no alts ration in linseed, but the market is rather
weak, and cakes are easier to buy. No transactions in
rapeseed, but a good demand for cakes, which are scarce.

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 4.-I'he arrivals from Ireland
since Tuesday, which consist principally of this year's
crop, are to a moderate extent, but those caastwise are
trifling. From Europe little has teen received, but from
the United States large supplies of Indian corn and.flour
have come forward. The exports in the same time are.
small. The weather has been far from favourable for
harvest operations, much rain having fallen at night with

a close and warm temperature during the day. A great
deal of what in this neighb .urhoad is still unsecured.
The trade has been characterizA by great dullness, and
in the limited transactions in wheat and flour a decline
of fully 2,1 per 70ib. and 6d per 1961 b. has been sutnnitted
to. Indian corn was held firmly at previous rates, but
little business done. Oafs and oatmeal slow sale, Kt
decline of ld per 451 b. and 6d per 2401 b. Barley, with
a fair demand, re2eded id per 601 b. No change in beans
and puts. At this day's market there was a fair attend'
ance of town and c-untry dealers. Wheat and flour met
a fair consumptive demand, at Friday's decline of 2d Per
70th. on the re, trier, and 6,1 per barrel on the latter. The
demand for Indian corn was very limited; in the few sales
6d p,:r 4801 b. less was taken, 25. s 6d being the top Price
for fine yellow. Barley, beans, and peas without change
trail our last rpiotationv. Oats and oatmeal neglected.

small parcels of new Irish wheat and oats were exhibited
for sale, the condition of both being very had, were did'
posed of at prices ranging from 5s 4d to 5s 10d per 7016,
and 2s 4d to 2s 7d per 451 t". New i;atint al, 24s to 25i

LEEDS, SEPT. 4.—The arrival of wheat at Markel t°:
day is only moderate. but the continuance of favourable
harvest weather causes the corn trade to be very dub'
and old wheat is 2s per quirt, r, and new wheat fully 15
to 2s per quarter lower than last week, end the millers
buy for ia,mediate consumption. Beaus are also re.
quarter ~heaper, and oats rather better to buy.
