POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

Ourtrmat.L.—No business was done at thin Justice-room
yesterday ; and it is with much regret we have to state the
cause—the sudden and serious illness of the Magistrate who
had undertaken to attend. Sir C. fluxTEu, the Alderman on
the rota for the week, had, previously to his leaving town, en-
gaged Mr. Alderman KEY to take the business of the Justice-
room for him ; and It was not until the latter end'of lust week that
the Worthy Alderman had reason to entertain any apprehension
that he should be unable to fulfil his engagement. Feeling him.
self, however, on Saturday, while at his house at Denmark-hill,
so very seriously indisposed as to render his attendance extreme-
ly doubtful, a communication to that effect was made to Mr.
Berenford, the Chief Clerk at this Office, and every exertion was
used by him, and also by Mr. Alderman Key's own Clerk,
to procure the attendance of some other Magistrate for yester-
day, but without success, scarcely an Alderman being in town.
In this dilemma, though almost too ill even to indulge the
hope, Mr. Alderman KEY sent word that he would, It possible,
attend himself: his clerk, however, on going to Denmark-hill
early yesterday morning, found him, we are sorry to say, so
much worse, that it was not likely he could be able to leave
his bed.
The Lunn MaYon, on being informed of the worthy Alder.
man's indisposition, most readily consented to take the Justice-
room business; and the prisoners, to the number of 26, were
accordingly conveyed before him at the Mansion-house.
Bow-SznErr.—Another proof of the good which often
results, in various ways, from the publication of Police reports,
has been furnished in the recent case of Margaret Janes,
the poor woree.n who, a short time ago, was charged with
stealing a small quantity of bacon from the shop of Mr. Care-

hig men, who were working near the spot, had jumped in
after her; they were then struggling with flier in the water, and
so great was the resistance she offered them, that as neither of
them could swim, Clements feared she might escape from their
grasp and be lost, and was preparing to jump in to her assist-
ance, when they dragged her ashore. It took some time to re-
cover tier sufficiently to make any inquiries respecting the cause
of her rash attempt upon her life, and when asked, she refused
to give any account of herself, but said, that ifsuffered to depart,
she would go directly home, and think nu more of her misfor-
tune, and that she was very sorry for the attempt she had made.
The people who had collected, thinking her sincere in repent-
ance, suffered her to depart. Clements, however, doubted, and
determined to watch her. She went towards the Jews' Harp
Tavern, by the end of which she concealed herself until she
thought the officer quitted the Park. ( lent Nits, also concealed
himself, but so as to have a full view of her proceedings. In
about ten minutes she emerged from her hiding-place, and, it
being now quite dusk, she proceeded, with n hurried and deter.
mined step, towards the Cana. Clements followed, unperceived,
close behind her, just as she was about once more to plunge into
the water, where there was no chance of her being saved at that
hour ; he seized her by the arm, and she fainted away. This hu—
mane officer, after restoring ter, determined to leave her no
longer to her own guidance, but conveyed her directly to the
watch-house of St. Pancras parish, where Mrs. Cousins, the
watch-house-keeper's wife, paid the poor creature every atten-
tion, and put her to bed. The unhappy young woman expressed
her gratitude ; but still declared her determination not to sur-
vive the cruel treatment of her husband, to whom she had been
but a short time married, and whose conduct, she said, drove
her to her rash resolve.--The MAGISTRATE could not but ap-
prove the .humane conduct of the officer, and of those at time
watelt-house. Being questioned, she widt much reluctance told
her husband's name,,,,confessed that she had acted hastily, and
thanked those who had preserved her life ; which, after a most
feeling admonition front the Magistrate, she solemnly declared
she would never again attempt to destroy. Her husband was
sent for, and in n short time a young man of genteel ap-
pearance entered the office, deeply affected, and, liner thank-
mg all who were concerned in the preservation of his wife,
she was delivered to his care, and they left the office together
in a coach.

On Sunday last, between six and seven in the
evening, a serious disturbance took place in the village of Tra.
vent. Some intoxicated Irish, who were on their road east-
ward, in search of harvest work, having been turned out of the
inn, where they had attempted to begin a riot, marshalled them-
selves on the street, and each choosing his antagonist, they
fought with great obstinacy. Their number amounted to about
a dozen (females included.) After the battle their features
could with great difficulty be distinguished, covered as they
were with dust and blood ; but it was no sooner over than they
seemed to become the best friends imaginable. They shook
hands, kissed each other's bloody cheeks, and one fellow who
seemed almost ready to take flight from the number of rags
in the shape of wings that were tossing about him, began to
dance, so pleased was he with the encounter. While the whole
contest continued, the people of the village behaved with great
circumspection ; they collected, and seemed resolved to prevent
any aggression upon themselves, but did not offer to interfere ;
with beings who look more like wild beasts than men. Two
of the party have been so much bruised Al to induce some
charitable individual to convey them to the Edinburgh Infir-
mary.—(Edinburgh

We have received the Paris Papers of Satur-
day and the Etoile of Sunday, and have given
extracts from tkern in our preceding columns.
They contain no intelligence of importance, un-
less it may be considered that the continued
notices of the receptions which the KING gives
to his Ministers and to other distinguished cha-
racters, may be considered as important, by
proving, that the recent fears for His MAJEsTY's
immediate dissolution appear to have been pre-
mature.

The last French Papers are still cautious iu
statements respecting the real condition of the
KING, but the same rumours prevail which we
have noticed before. He is able to rehearse the
part of King, but not to act it with due spirit
and vigour. It requires little strength to hear
mass, and to receive individuals. All this is mere
form and ceremony, while the essential duties of
the Monarch are supposed to be executed by the
Count &ARTOIS and M. de VxLLELE. The appear.
ance of things indeed is kept up, and his MAJESTY
goes through the parade of consultation, but ac.
cording to all accounts is wholly incapable of
official energy, and of course must in effect sub.
mit to the measures that may be suggested to
him.

Advices to the2.3d of June hare been received
from Rio de Janeiro. The alarm excited by
the threatened invasion from Portugal had not in
any degree subsided, and the most vigorous pre-
parations were accordingly making by the Eli.
PEROR and his Government for the defence of

he State. The Estratton was doing every thing
n his "power to ingratiate himsalf with the mill.
:ary, with the view, as was supposed by some, of

securing their zealous support against the Repub•
lican party, and by others of preparing them
to execute the secret design of which he
is suspected,—that of co-operating with Por-
tugal against the independence of Brazil.—
We must confess that we ourselves are of the
latter opinion, and that nothing but the actual
appearance and zealous exertions of DON Naito,
in the field of combat with an invading army,
can entirely convince us of his fidelity to the
Constitutional Empire of the Brazils.

M. ILIVADAVIA.-..-The return of this Gentle-
man to England must be gratifying to every
friend of freedom. We had the pleasure of
being acquainted with him when he was before
in this country. He is grave in his disposition,
but polite, attentive, and intelligent—a rational
lover of liberty, with a due regard to that pre'
siding power which is essential to the Govern'
meat of the People in all states. He comes not,
we are persuaded, to enjoy inglorious ease while
he can serve his country, and his sole object, WI
doubt not, is to represent to the British Govern-
ment the real slate of that country, and to point
out the advantages which may result from a cord.

He had made considerable progress in the rung'

French. He was affably communicative, never
dictatorial, possessing the sagacity, without the
artifice, of a statesman, and few persons are
equally qualified to understand the true interests

them by any dishonourable views or selfish Coo'
