POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
OVERTURNING THE TURKISH AMBASSADOR'S CABRIOLET.
"7.0 fnl. Rastrick, private coachman to the Hon. Lady Kinloch,
.1 No. 24, Eaton-place, Belgrave-square, was charged with
being drunk, and furiously driving her Ladyship's carriage
along the Haymarket on Thursday, at eleven, and running
against the cabriolet of his Excellency Chekib Effendi, the
1 urkish Ambassador, which was drawn up in the line of car-
riages awaiting the close of the Opera. The groom in charge
of the cab was thrown out with great violence, and the vehicle
was greatly damaged. The defendant was also pitched head
foremost off his box, and fell in the carriage-way, to the immi-
nent peril of sustaining serious injury.
The amount of damage done being above the jurisdiction of a
Magistrate to award compensation, one of his Excellency's
domestics was informed that her Ladyship was liable to make
I it good, and could be proceeded against by an action at law.
The defendant was fined 40s. for furiously driving, and in
default to be committed for fourteen days.

EFFECT OF RAILWAYS ON STAGE AND
POST-COACHES.—Railways ruin postmasters, say all tlii
world. Somerset House tells a different story. The autho-
rities there have made a return to Parliament, from which we
learn that the post-horse duty for the year ending sth Janu-
ary,-,p
1839, was 937 452/. while that for the year ending on the
same day in 1841, WILS 212,6351., or but 25,000/. less. Again,
the stage-carriage duty for 1838 was U 2,0001., while that for
1840, under a reduced duty, amounted to 407,040/. This is
not the first instance by many in winch the popular first-sight
estimate of the effect of improvement has been proved by ex-
perience and figures to be unfounded. In Brussels, previous
to the establishment of the Belgic railways, there were but
60 hackney carriages—dm.? Are now 300. Railway Times.
