POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MAN SION-HOU SE.
Three men, named Martin, Palmer, and Jeffern
were charged with having assisted a boy named
Parker and a man named Puckeridge, who were com-
mitted a few days ago, in robbing Miss Delamere of
a purse containing gold and silver. A well-dressed
young woman, named Mary Anne Ward, was charged
with having made a desperate attempt to rescue the
three first-named prisoners. The whole party were
identified by policemen Haydon, Hiddington, Funnel!,
Noon, Spittle, and Jenkinson.
Martin, Palmer, and Jefferys had been brought up
on Monday, and remanded upon the evidence of some
of the policemen above-mentioned, who had been
watching the operations of the gang on the day Miss
Delamere was robbed, and distinctly swore to the
identity of each. 'While they were taking back the
prisoners to the Compter, Mary Ann Ward, who had
primed herself with gin for the enterprise, insisted
upon having some conversation with Martin, and on
being refused the indulgence " bonneted" the officer
who held him by a blow on the top of the head. Upon
being pushed away she returned with increased
vigour, and struck and kicked and again " bon-
neted" the policeman. Several fellows in the crowd,
which followed, or rather surrounded the police-
men, joined the woman, whose ferocity delighted
them, and who at last became a most serious and dan-
gerous impediment to the performance of the duties
of the force. It was with the greatest difficulty the
officers succeeded in conveying their prisoners through
Newgate-street to the Compter. Some of them were
for securing the woman, but Haydon gave her the
opportunity to depart, as the great object was to con-
vey the three members of the gang to prison in secu-
rity, and he knew that it would be no hard matter to
catch hold in due time of a person disposed to run
such hazard for her " pal." As he supposed, her ap-
prehension was soon effected, and the policemen de-
scribed her violence and skill in the crowd as calcu-
lated to excite a general row against them, and did
not for an instant doubt that the rescue had been re-
gularly concocted.
The LORD MAYOR having directed that Mary Ann
Ward's should be the first case investigated, heard all
the particulars of the attempt to rescue.
It appeared that several women, as well as men,
had assisted in that attempt, and that the throng was
so great, and the exertions of the women—who, no
doubt, calculated upon an immunity from the blows
which male assailants must have expected, so powerful
—that if handcuffs had not been used the issue would
have been most alarming.
In her defence the woman said that Martin was a
friend of hers, whom she held in the light of a hus-
band, and she had no notion that a policeman had any
right to prevent her from communicating with him.
She was then committed to Bridewell, after having
bestowed her malediction upon the whole gang of
officers.
The three male prisoners were then placed at the
bar, and evidence was given to the effect that they
had been all apprehended on Sunday. Palmer was
seen in the Borough by Haydon, and followed by
him into what is called a " flash crib"—a place to
which thieves resort—where the pursuit was at an
end. Palmer, on being told what he was charged
with, swore that he was engaged in shooting in the
country at the, time the robbery was said to have
been committed, but whqn informed that his com-
rades would meet him at the bar he said it was all
up with him. The other prisoners, who were as
dexterously followed and secured, denied not only all
knowledge of the robbery, but of each other, although
every one of the party charged was identified as a
principal agent in the "swell mob," and had been
convicted at the bar of the Central Criminal Court.
THAMES.
Charles Mortimer, a powerful-looking young man,
with a cast in one of his eyes, was charged with the
following brutal assault on a young girl named
Louisa Sheppard.
The prosecutrix stated that on the previous night,
as she was passing by Baker's-fields, Limehouse, she
saw some boys running after the prisoner, and-calling
him " boss eye." He chased them, but did not
catch them, and then he turned and ran after her.
She screamed, and said she had done nothing, but he
seized and struck her several violent blows, dashed
her head against an iron railing, and he had a large
stone mug in his hand, which he broke about her
head, cutting her severely. A policeman came up
and rescued her. The prosecutrix pulled off her
bonnet and exhibited her head, which was completely
covered with plaisters.
Police-constable K 216 said that his attention was
attracted by hearing the loud screams of a female,
and cries of " Murder," proceeding from Baker's-
fields. On going to the spot he found the prosecu-
trix bleeding profusely from wounds in her head, and
took the prisoner into custody.
The prisoner, in his defence, said he was con-
stantly pestered and annoyed by boys and girls
teazing him.
Mr. YARDLEY observed that he was a most ill-
conditioned fellow, and fined him forty shillings or
fourteen days' imprisonment, with hard labour.
He was locked up in default.
CLERKENWELL.
BIGAMY.— William Dennis Daily was finally
examined, charged with intermarrying with Mary
Barry whilst his first wife was alive.
Harriett Gabally, of No. 3, Croker-street, Hoxton,
deposed that on the 29th of December, 1842, she was
present at tho marriage of her daughter, who was now
in court, to the prisoner at Shoreditch Church.
Mary Barry, of No. 30, Essex-street, Strand, de-
posed that she accidently met the prisoner, who re-
presented himself to her as a single man, and they
were married at Bloomsbury Church on the 29th of
December last. She afterwards discovered that his
first wife was alive and living with her mother.
Frederick Anderson of No. 5, Hays's-court, Soho,
was present at the celebration of the second marriage.
Richard Walker, 33 G, apprehended the prisoner
on the sth of the present month, at the door of the
House of Correction, where he had been confined for
felony. 'Witness told him he wanted him on a charge
of bigamy. He replied "I am aware of it. Wit-
ness produced a certificate of each marriage.
The prisoner, in his defence, said—l am guilty of
marrying both wives.
He was fully committed for trial, and a certificate
of his former conviction for felony was produced
against him.
On leaving the bar several women in the body of
the court rushed forward eagerly and shook hands
with him, when he burst into tears, and they cried
also.
He was conveyed to prison.

EXPLOSION IN A DISTILLERY. -On Thursday
evening, a frightful accident, attended with loss of life,
occurred at Mr. Busby's distillery, Black Pitts. The
coppers, containing liquor intended for the process of
distillation, were in progress of being " got round " to
the proper heats, when one of those huge vessels burst
with a tremendous explosion, vilieh scattered ruin
around it, and in the convulsion, we lament to state that
three poor fellows were scalded to death, and a fourth
so deplorably injured, that very slight hopes are enter-
tained of his recovery.—Dublin Evening Post.
[ADvERTHEmENT.]—BAD LEGS AND WOUNDS OF
ALL KINDS CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND
PILLS.-If these valuable medicines be used together,
acc rding to the directions given with them, there is no
case, however obstinate, bad, or long standing, but may
be shortly cured by their surprising efficacy. Thousands
of persons, who had been patients of large hospitals, and
under the care of the greatest surgeons of the day, with
out deriving the least benefit, as a last resource, use
Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which always cure them,
and frequently in as little time as a cut finger would
require when treated in the usual way.—Sold by all
druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment,
244, Strand, London.

Bs PARTICULAR ABOUT DATES.—A Scotch trades-
man, who had amassed, as he believed, 4,0001. was sur-
prised by his old clerk with a balance-sheet, showing
his fortune to be 6,0001. "It canna' be," said the prin-
cipal—" count agen." The clerk again declared the
balance to be 6,0001. The master counted him-
self, and he also brought out a surplus of 6,0001.
Still he had a lurking doubt of the existence
of the extra 2,0001. ; so, one night, he sat
down to give the columns " one count more." At the
close of his task he jumped up and rushed through the
streets in a shower of rain to the house of his clerk. The
clerk's head, capped and drowsy, emerged from an attic
window, at the sound of the knocker, to inquire the
errand of his midnight visitor. " Who's there ?" he
mumbled, " and what do you want ? " "It's me, ye
scooneral I " exclaimed his employer, " ye've added up
the year of our Lord amaag the poonds !"—Caithness
Chronicle.

AQUATICS.—On Monday last, a " pair-oared"
match for 25L aside, came off on the Tyne, between
Anthony and Richard Maddison, of Swalwell, and
William Snowball and Joseph Errington, of Derwent-
•haugh, villages on the Durham side of the Tyne. Snow-
ball and Errington having won the choice of position,
took the north side of the river, and the Maddisons the
south, and after some manoeuvring they started them-
selves, and got well away, the Derwenthaugh boat
taking a alight lead. In this way they swept along with
great speed, and on reaching the Skinner's Burn the
Maddisons had made up their lost ground. From this
point the struggle for the lead was severe, the boats
keeping together without any indication of advantage
being gained by either until arriving at Elsysick-staith,
when the Maddisons showed a point or two ahead. The
Derwenthaugh men, tough and active, made a desperate
effort to recover their lost ground, but in vain; the Mad-
disons slowly, but steadily, drew their boat away, and
finally came in winners by six boats length. A skiff
match for 100/. a side, to come off on the Tyne, from the
High-level Bridge to Scotswood Bridge, on the lst of
November, has been agreed upon by Clasper and Maddi-
son.—Durham Advertiser.
IMPORTATION Of APPLES.—A vessel arrived from
Jersey has brought an entire cargo, comprising 2,000
bushels of apples, the produce of that island. There

SUPPLY of GAS for the SOUTHERN

DISTRICTS of LONDON.

A meeting of the inhabitants of Lambeth am
Southwark was held on Monday evening, at the
Elephant and Castle, o receive the report of a com-
mittee recently appoined to inquire into the compa-
rative rates (per I,ooofeet) at which gas is furnished
to consumers in diffeant districts of the kingdom.
Mr. t3RowN having xen called to the chair,
Mr. SAVAGE, a mariber of the committee, pro-
ceeded to communicatc to the meeting the informa.
tion which had been cbtained on the subject.
stated that the committ2e, of which he was a member,
had been appointed at 1, former meeting, held at the
George, Camberwell to inquire into the cause of the
high prices charged for gas in the southern districts
of the Metropolis. The committee had ascertained
the price of gas tiroughout the kingdom to be--
Wakefield, 4s. 6d. rer 1,000 feet ; Manchester, 4s. 6d ;
Birmingham 6s. Bd, proportionally less to consumers
of large quantities ; Devonport, Brighton, East-end
of London, and
.CEnterbury, 6s. Bd.; Dorchester,
Norwich, Yarinouta, and Hull, 6s. Bd. ; City of
London and West-eld, Deptford, Ipswich, Exeter,
Wellington, and Taunton, 7s. ' • Ramsgate, 7s. 6d.;
London street lamps, ss. ; while in the southern
districts of London, Southwark, Lambeth, Cam-
berwell, &c., the charge is equal to Bs.
per 1,000 cubic feet. The price of coal in
London had been urgsd in justification of the com-
paratively high price cf gas ; but, as the products of
the distilled coal defrayed its first cost, that could not
fairly be adduced as an argument. Mr. Savage pro-.
ceeded to quote an extract from a daily newspaper of
the 27th of September, showing the reformation which
had been effected in Manchester in the rateage of gas-
lights. He thought that a deputation should be ap-
pointed to wait on the three companies which supply
the southern districts, to state the facts he had enu-
merated, and to urge upon them the necessity of a
reduction in their prices.
Mr. DOWLING said that one of those companies
charged Bs. in the borough, while down at Greenwich
they only charged 6s.
Mr. WARD said that the Commercial Company sup-
plied their customers at 65., and still were enabled to
pay a dividend of 5i per cent.
Another GENTLEMAN said that, living close to the
London Company, he paid Bs., while, as he under-
stood, in Leicester-square, the other side of the water,
the same company charged only 7s.
Mr. SAVAGE stated that in North Shields the in-
habitants had saved nearly one-half by establishing
gas works of their own ; and in Canterbury a threat
to do the same had reduced the price from I Is. to Gs.
per 1,000 cubic feet.

_
A deputation was then appointed to wait on the
companies to urge a reduction to 7s. per 1,000 cubic
feet, and the meeting separated.

DREADFUL MURDER BY A
MANIAC.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 10.—Our city has again been the
theatre of a most fearful crime. A bootmaker, of the
name of Dupuis Dubois, living in the Rue de la
Fourche, had been subject to attacks of mental de-
rangement. He was living very unhappily with his
wife and her sister's child, a little girl seven years of
age. During the night he was seized with one of his
attacks, and while in that state killed both his wife
and his young niece, by striking them on the head
with a hammer, and then cutting their throats, and
then the unhappy man cut his own throat. The tra-
gical scene must have taken place between three and
four in the morning, for at that moment the patrol,
who was passing, heard shrieks in the house. He rang
the bell, but no one opened the door. This morning,
when the neighbours entered the chamber, the most
horrible spectacle presented itself to their view.
The woman and the little child were lying on their
beds, which were literally inundated with blood, which
was still flowing from the wounds. The poor maniac
is still alive, but it is impossible for him to survive
during the day. Whilst this horrible murder was
being committed, a dreadful fire broke out in the
beautiful embroidery magazine at Sablon. The ladies
who were sleeping on the second story, were with
difficulty enabled to make their escape through t
windows by means of ladders. A great deal of
property has been destroyed. Very early this morn-
ing the Procurator of the King, attended by the Chief
of the Police and a medical man, went to the scene of
the assassinations, and also of the fire.
MURDER OF TAE COUNTESS OF GOERLITZ.—The
Count de Goerlitz, who was accused by the German
Spectator, and the Manheim Evening Gazette, with
the commission of this terrible crime, has written a
letter to the Francfort Journal, and several other
papers, saying that in order to reply to this horrible
imputation, he has accused these two journals of ca.
lumny before the Tribunal at Darmstadt,

HORRIBLE MURDER OF A WIFE
BY HER HUSBAND.
BIRMINGHAM, TRESDAY.—About half-past ten
o'clock this morning the inhabitants of Moor-street
were alarmed by cries of murder proceeding from an
eating- house nearly opposite to the Public-office, and
kept by a man named Matthew Davies.
The police, several of whom were near at tho time,
immediately ran to the spot, and in the back yard a
• frightful spectacle presented itself. The wife of Davis
lay dead in the gutter with her throat cut from ear to
ear, while her husband stood quite unconcernedly in
the door-way. The circumstances of the case ap-
peared to be these :
Davies and his wife, for several months past, have
lived on very unhappy terms, and he was in the habit
of ill-treating her. His conduct has lately been re-
markably bad, and last week it was so outrageous that
on Friday she was compelled again to seek the pro-
tection of the magistrates. A warrant was accord-
ingly granted against him, and this morning he was
to have appeared before the Court to answer the
charge.
In the course of yesterday Davies, while under the
influence of liquor, upbraided the deceased ; but this
morning, apparently more subdued in manner, he
entreated her to abandon legal proceedings. She
positively refused to do so, when he went into the
brewhouse, where his wife and a Mrs. Yarnold were,
and sharpened a common table-knife, and soon after
Mrs. Yarnold, happening to look up, saw Davies
approach his wife, as if for the purpose of kissing
her. He placed his left arm round her neck, and
drew the knife repeatedly across her throat, almost
severing her head from her body. Mrs. Davies
struggled to free herself, drew up her handkerchief
to her throat, and by a desperate effort broke from
him and rushed into the yard, when she fell. Two
officers took the murderer into custody, the whole
occurrence occupying not more than three or four
minutes. Three of their children were in the house
at the time. He was led before the magistrates, who
were sitting not twenty yards distant from the spot,
and remanded to await the result of a coroner's in-
quest, which takes place on Thursday.

CAUTION to RAILWAY SERVANTS
James Saxby, a point and signal man, on the
London and Brighton Railway, was finally examined
before Mr. Simeon and two other magistrates, for the
county of Surrey, at Croydon, on a charge of
neglect of duty, and having caused by such negli-
gence a collision between two trains coming in oppo-
site directions.
Mr. Games attended as the solicitor of the accused.
From the evidence of Inspector Woolnough, and
other servants of the company, it appeared that on
the night of Friday, the Ist inst., at forty-eight
minutes past ten o'clock, when an up and a down
train were due at the Croydon station, the defendant,
instead of being at his points, as his duty directed,
was in his box on the other side of the line, and the
consequence was that both trains were on the same
line of rails and a collision took place. By the careful
look out and prompt exertion of the engine-drivers on
both trains, and the steam being shut off, the shock
was not very great, and the injury done was of a
comparatively slight nature.
The defence set up was, that the sight of the de-
fendant had been impeded by a number of empty
carriages being placed on the line in such a position
that he could not see the signal from his box.
The defendant received an excellent character from
Mr. Adams, the superintendent, and Mr. Wool-
nough, the inspector, for the two years he had been
a servant to the company. They both admitted that
he was the most expert point turner on the line, and
up to the present occurrence was considered an ex-
ceedingly careful and steady man.
In reply to a question from one of the magis-
trates, Mr. Woolnough said that it was quite con-
trary to his orders for the defendant to be in his box
when a train was due; and that had not the accident
happened he should have felt it to be his duty to
have reported him for being absent from the points.
Mr. Games admitted that his client had acted im-
prudently, but hoped the Bench would take into con:
sideration his former !good character, and the fact of
his losing his situation, in fixing its penalty. H(Mr. Gaines) admitted that the investigation wasae
proper one, and that the charge was in no way
coloured

PIRACY IN SOITTIIA24Eruca.—Tvvo piratical boats,
tithed out in Monte Video, have lately committed a num-
ber of depredations on coasting craft in this and the
rivers, putting, in one instance at least, the crew
interior
lto death. We trust her Britannic Majesty's naval forces
in these waters will not remain indifferent spectators of
such atrocious proceedings, though sactioned by the
Proteges of the authorities of .his Majesty the King of
the French.—Buenos Ayres Paper, July 31.
In taking up the potatoes in the garden attached
to the Darlington Workhouse the production was at the
rate of 450 bushels per acre. The potatoes are of .the
green top kind, and, having been set with salt and ashes,
when taken up the land was quite naoist,—Durham
Advertiser.

VISIT OF SIR R. PEEL TO
LIVERPOOL.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. The " crisis" has been
almost forgotten on 'Change to-day in the exciterneelt
which has been occasioned by a whisper from a well'
informed circle that Sir R. Peel will arrive here to'
morrow. The visit of the Right Hon. Baronet, as it
is rumoured, is partly suggested by a yearning for
amusement, and is in some measure dictated by the
desire of clicking from the merchants and men of
buainess in this locality the real opinions prevailing
e I in reference to the great Bank Charter Act of 1844,
and its asserted evil influence upon the present eh'',
cumstances of the commercial world. The people of
Liverpool have not been very generally informed of
the honour which is to be conferred upon them, end
it is not yet accurately known whether Sir R. Peel
has accepted an invitation or intimated an intentions
It is only certain that Mr. Charles Lawrepee, the
father of the Mayor, Mr. G. H. Lawrence, and evil°
resides at Mosley-hill, five or six miles from OA
town, will entertain the ex-Premier during his
stay, and that the Mayor will, on Friday evening,
at the Town-hall, give a grand dinner, to which all
the principal gentlemen of the place have been alreadl
summoned.
Lord Sandon, the late Member for Liverpool, and
Sir T. Birch and Mr. Cardwell, the present Members,
have been requested to meet Sir Robert Peel, and Will
accompany him, with the Mayor, as guides in his
proposed inspection of the docks, and all the other
lions of the neighbourhood. Orders have been issued
north and south, both up and down the Mersey, td
prepare to display all that is worthy of being shod
to the very best advantage. A steamer will be ;TIM
in the course of to-morrow to take the party acroo
the water to Birkenhead, where Sir Robert Peer
will, no doubt, be greatly interested. The eight
there is extraordinary : a model town, laid out tie
cording to the rules of architects, and the aspiration§
of sanitary commissioners, in that state of ruin ande
dilapidation which results from leaving the work hal'
done, unfinished, and never likely to be completed;
docks which would be magnificent, if they had bee°
constructed as projected ; and works, ofevery descrip'
Lion, which would have been the finest in the world, 11
the builders could have only got beyond the found
tion story. In a word, that Birkenhead, in whoso
" future" was rested so much "faith," is now suffering
the inevitable sorrows which spring from precocion§
prosperity and unfounded speculation, and to our dig'
anguished visitor the spot in ruins without being if g"
nerable, will probably be a study.
Mr. Gibson, the celebrated sculptor, will be here
to-night, and the object of his journey, it is stated, ig
to attend the inauguration of the statue of Huskissons
Sir R. Peel will preside over' the ceremony, and b 1
presence will give to the occasion, long expected, gee§l
additional éclat. The statue (one by Gibson, eilts,
presented to the town by the widow of the statesman
is to be raised in front of the Custom-house ;
though the affair will be got over as quietly as peg'
sible, it is only to be anticipated that the local enthU
siasm will manifest itself in a manner which will
somewhat assimilate to the bustle and confusion 0:
tending the recent visit of Prince Albert on layinti
the first stone of the Sailors' Home.
The most earnest exertions are being made by do
authorities to get St. George's Hall, a new building+
still in an unfinished condition, of which every W'
habitant of Liverpool is enormously proud, into sucP
order as would warrant their pointing it out to the
Right Hon. Baronet ; and if the interior can be so f§cc
cleared of bricks and dust as to admit of entrance tin
examination, it will be one of the first objects to
which his attention will be directed.
So far as we are enabled to learn, Sir R. Peel Will
not remain more than two days ; and the progranU
as at present drawn up, does not provide occupti°o
for any longer time. He will be here by an earlyo
train to-morrow, and will leave on Saturday, and job,.
the fifty hours as much feting and feasting as possih°
will be crowded. This will be the first time he hr
ever sought public notice in Liverpool ; and as he is
f
here, perhaps, more popular than in any other cornea
of the kingdom, he will find no cause to regret tel
favour he is about to accord to his admirers.
