POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILVIIALL.
A miserable looking creature, dressed in the work-
house garb, was placed at the bar, charged with the fol-
lowing daring robbery
Alr. William Barnet said, he was a watchmaker in
Brick-lane, Spite'fields. About seven o'clock on Tuesday
he observed the prisoner looking in through his shop
window for nearly a quarter of an hour, when he sud-
denly drove his arm through it, and snatched up a
valuable watch which was exposed for sale in the window,
with which he ran away, but was eventually taken, after
a sharp run, and given into custody of the police.
The Constable who took him into custody informed
the Alderman that he had been only one week discharged
from prison.
He was fully committed for trial, and the parties
bound over to prosecute.
BOW-STREET.

A youth named Wm. Reeve was brought before Mr.
JARDINE yesterday, charged with breaking open a cash-
box and stealing its contents, the property of Mr. White,
tobacconist, Strand, his employer.
It appeared that it was the duty of the prisoner, who
did not reside on the premises, to open the shop about
nine o'oo4 every morning, and on Friday last he went
to his toaster's bed-room to get the key for that purpose.
After taking dawn the shutters, he called to the servant
girl to attend to the shop, while he went, as he pretended,
for a bundle of wood to light the fire, and he was not seen
again until he was in custody.
The prosecutor said he paid the prisoner 6s. a week,
with his board, to attend on customers in the shop.
About eight o'clock he handed him the key, and on going
down stairs in an hour after, he missed a bundle of small
cigars, with the case produced, from the shop-window.
His attention was next called to the desk at the end of
the counter, where the prisoner knew the money was
kept, and he found it had been recently broken open with
the chisel produced], which lay on the door, The cash-
box, which lay in the desk, was also broken open with
much force, from which was taken four sovereigns, 10s.
in silver, and a half sovereign that lay in the desk. The
money was all safe on the previous night, and witness,
took the key of the desk up stairs with him, when lie re-
tired for the
OWisttible lade, who apprehended the prisoner, being
informed of the robbery, found him in the company of
some girls, at the Grapes public-house, in Old Compton-
§treVtt 5091 and on asking him if he knew Mr, White,
the tobacconist in the Wrand, he replied, he did not. He
was then taken into custody, and on being searched, a
sovereign, some silver, together with the cigar-case pro-
duced, were found upon him, and the latter identified by
the prosecutor as his property.
The prisoner declined saying anything in his defence,
and he was ordered to be Wily ocramitted to Newgate
for trial,

IMPORTANT SALE OF ESTATES
BY MR. W. W. SIMPSON,
On Tuesday week the important sales of landed
property, manors, &c., in West Suffolk, of estates at
Saffron Walden, Chcsterford, and Colchester, and alse
in Berksl.ire, which had been announced in our paper, by
Mr. W. W. Simpson, took place at the Auction Mart,
and the result showed that the Anti• Corn law agitation
had not shaken public confidence in the profitable secu-
rity of the soil, or diverted capital from large invest-
ments in land.
The room was filled to overflowing by gentlemen
from the country, and by great Lumbers of the capital-
ists of the metropolis, amongst whom there was a good
competition for the property in Suffolk.
Mr. Simpson, in introducing the property to their
notice, said he was exceedingly gratified at the
numerous and highly respectable attendance which
be saw before him, both of gentlemen from the
counties in which the estates were situated, and of
London capitalists, because it augured well with re•
gard to the disposal of the property he was about
to offer them. From the long experience he had had
in sales of this kind, and looking to the present
state of affairs in this country, he was convinced
there would be such a permanency in agriculture,
with a due regard, of course, to all other interests,
that the investments now made would prove satis-
factory. He had just returned from Ireland, where
he had seen the feeling respecting the present
Government in regard to the protection that would
be extended and continued to agriculture, as well as
to the manufacturing, the commercial, and all other
interests, that it was quite extraordinary to witness
the desire which obtained to make investments in
land, and the sales he had recently had clearly
showed that the capitalists had great confidence in
the permanence of agricultural prosperity. Certainly,
be observed, the funds were high at present, and
therefore those persons who sold out at the present
moment might realize a much higher value than
future results might give ; for looking to the prospect
of events—the position of affairs in China—the
feverish state of things in America—and the aspect
of political matters in other quarters, if a shot even
were fired in Europe or in America, it might knock
down the Three per Cents., 20 per cent. With re-
spect to the estates in West Suffolk, which he had to
offer them, they were disposed of by J. Mosely, Esq., of
Glemharn House, Saxmundham, for the purpose of
effecting investments around his mansion and domain
in East Suffolk. Therefore it was not a forced sale ;
neither was it a sale because the property was out of
condition, for the tenantry were a most superior
class, the land was highly cultivated, and the farms
were let at corn rents, the scale upon which the present
rental was calculated upon the average price of corn
being of a very moderate description. He had only to
add that the estates were in the hands of the company,
for he had not a single person in the room to support
the sale ; there were no puffers or setters employed ;
and the only person present was the person he was
obliged to employ to protect himself from the payment
of the auction-duty.
