POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
An elderly man of respectable appearance was brought
before the Lord Mayor, charged with having attempted
self-destruction, by throwing himself into the Thames,
from the parapet over the central arch of London-bridge.
It was stated that at two o'clock in the afternoon of
Saturday last, the defendant was observed to climb over
the parapet wall of London-bridge, and fall into the
river. After he fell, a waterman, named Farson, who
was rowing two ladies in his wherry, near the place in
which the old gentleman had sunk, said to the ladies,
" For God's sake sit quietly, and let me endeavour to
save the poor man's life." The ladies replied that they
would, and they did so, and the waterman, upon reaching
the spot, caught at the skirts of' the coat of the unfortu-
nate person, and dragged him into the boat. The de-
fendant appeared to be exhausted, and stared about
wildly, as if he had no object. Upon being conveyed to
the station-house he became more calm, but even yester-
day he seemed to labour under, some extremeeanguish
and terror, and thought that some persons ,were medi-
tating his ruin.
The defendant's wife accompanied the poor man to
the Mansion-house, and stated that he had experienced
great reverses by dealing in time bargains, in the neigh-
bourhood of the Stock Exchange. She believed that he
had, in the effort to'recover some of. the property he
had lost, borrowed from his friends, and that his inability
to refund the loans preyed so ardsntly upon him, that he
lost his reason, and therefore •attempted to destroy
himself.
The LORD MAYOR asked the defendant whether he
was a stock-broker ?
The defendant replied that he was not .in the house,
but that he had done a good deal of unfortunate business
in the Alley as a jobber. Upon being expostulated with
on the subject of the dreadful intention he had shown to
rush into the other world, he manifested remarkable
weakness, and declared that he threw himself from the
bridge for fear of being murdered by men whom he be-
lieved to be in league against him.
The LORD MAYOR suggested- to the wife of the de-
fendant the propriety of detaining him for a days in the
Compter, and directing the Chaplain to have some Con-.
versation with him.
The wife replied that she was convinced he woul.d
never make any attempt upon his life again, as he was
greatly attached to his family, 'and would attend to her
advice after a little repose.
His LORDSHIP at once consented to hand the poor
man over to his wife, and gave to her the multitude of
papers connected with his losses in the Alley.
A young man, named John Fryer, was brought`up in
custody of Horsford, a Officer of the Mendicity society,
and charged by Mr. Western Wood, of 25, Mark-lane,
merchant, with having obtained money from him under
false pretences.
Mr. Wood stated that the prisoner, of whose family he
knew something, called upon him on the sth of May, ap-
parently in extreme distress, and represented that he
had a situation in the London and Birmingham Rail-
way Company, to which :he could not attend on account
of the deplorable state of his wardrobe. Upon being
asked to show some proof of his' engagement, he pro-
duced upon his second interview a letter corroborating
his statement, which letter it was afterwards ascertained
was fictitious, and had been 'written by the defendant
himself: Mr. Wood then produced some letters which
thedefendant had written to him, and which, both.as to
composition and penmanship, were models of mendicity
shill. The amount in clothes and money of which the
gentleman was thus defrauded was between 4/. and Si.
The defendant assured the Lord Mayor that he never
asked Mr. Wood for a shilling in money ; all he re-
quested was a few articles of dress, to make him fit to be
seen. He considered himself Mr. Wood's debtor to the
amount stated, and he intended to pay it off by instal-
ments of a pound a week until the whole should be liqui-
dated. He dealt in stationery, and would commence
paying at once if allowed.to go and earn the money.
• Mr. Wood told the 'Lord Mayor that he thought no-
thing of the money. His object was to punish a person
who injured the claims of the really distressed by such
practices. •
The defendant said that he bad a wife and children at
home without bread, and that if he was locked up in
prisoner they must inevitably perish. If an officer was
sent to his lodgings he would find the poor mother of his
children without a gown to her back.
The LORD MAYOR—You are sentenced to two months'
imprisonment in the House of Correction.—Committed
accordingly.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.-3cmiramtae
mas enacted on Saturday night, with Grisi, Viardot, and Tam-
burini to support its leading parts. M. Giubilei, seemed out
of his element in the high priest, which is better suited to
Lablache. Semiramide was in her best style; graceful
in the gentler scenes with Arsaces—grand at the tomb of
Ninus. Her beautiful aria " Bel raggio' was rapturously en-
cored,. Ma;!arne Viardot was rather unequal to Arsaces ; her
energy throughout seemed relaxed. The Assur of Tamburini
was spirited and vigorou3. The ballet brought out by Madame
Cerito a second tine in the Sylphide was graceful anti
expressive. Madame Guy S'ephan, who merely appears in this
ballet to execute one pas, fulfilled that task very neat and
peepossessinglv. Her Majesty and Prime Albert willies:id
the opera, and retired. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge,
the Princess Augu!ta and I'rince George were also present.
