SALMON FISHING.—The salmon fishing in the
Tweed closed on Friday last, the 15th of October. From
the quantity of fish sent into the West Riding of York-
shire and to the Glasgow market new markets
opened up in consequence of the opening of the
railways—it is impossible to arrive at anything like
a correct result of the quantity of fish caught during the
season. In general terms, however, it may be stated,
that the season just closed has been more than ordi.
narily unsuccessful—even on a comparison with former
seasons scarcely considered an average. The prioes, in
consequence of the meagre supply in the town, have
never been below 7d. per lb. for grilse, and Bkd. to 9d.
per lb. for salmon.—Berwich Warder.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
WESTMINSTER.
Thomas Ensor, a private in the East India Com-
pany's artillery, was charged with stealing a gold
watch and guard-chain, a quantity of jewellery, linen
and wearing apparel, from the residence of Mr. S.
Archbutt, solicitor, King's-road, Chelsea.
About a month ago the prisoner, and another man
named Dignum, were charged at this court, and un-
derwent a remand, the former being accused with
breaking into the dwelling-house of Mr. Toby, a
gentleman of fortune, at Chelsea, and stealing a quan-
tity of very valuable plate, and the latter with having
plundered Mr. Archbutt of a gold watch and chain,
jewellery, and a great quantity of linen and wearing
apparel. In the course of the inquiry it turned out
that Ensor and Dignum, although apprehended upon
distinct charges, were on very intimate terms ; and
that during the absence of Mr. Archbutt and his
family for a few days in the country, Dignum, who
was a clerk in his establishment, introduced Ensor to
the female servant who had been left in charge of the
premises, and the two latter went out walking toge-
ther for some hours one evening, while Dignum was
left to take care of the house. Early the next morn-
ing it was discovered that the place had been robbed
of the property above stated, and Dignum was given
into custody. As there was not sufficient evidence
given in either of the cases to justify a further deten-
tion of the prisoners, they were discharged. The
police have been actively engaged since that period in
endeavouring to trace the property, and it was ascer-
tained, a few days ago, that Mr. Archbutt's guard-
chain had been pledged by a person closely answer-
ing the description of Ensor, in consequence of which
search was made for the prisoner, who had, after his
liberation from custody on Mr. Toby's charge, joined
the East India Company's service, and he was appre-
hended at Worley Barracks, Essex, on Saturday,
when a pocket-book which had been stolen from Mr.
Archbutt's was found in his possession, and he was
seen to tear up a letter from a relation, which cau-
tioned him not to come near Chelsea, as the police
were in search of him.
Prisoner made no defence, and was remanded for a
week, in order to give time for the attendance of the
necessary witnesses.
Edward Reading, a strong-looking fellow, was
charged with stealing a cottage loaf from the shop
of Mr. Robert Boyd, baker, Abingdon-street, West-
minster.

Prisoner went into the shop, and having seized the
loaf, the proprietor requested payment, when the pri-
soner replied that he had got no money, and did not
intend paying for it. The proprietor told him that
had he complained of distress, and asked for a piece
of bread, he might have given it to him, when the
prisoner replied that if he had, he had no doubt it
would have been all the same. A constable was sent
for, and it was with the utmost difficulty the bread
could be got from the fellow, who abused the shop-
keeper grossly.
Prisoner, who said he was a long way from home,
and in distress, was committed for trial.
The police produced the fellow's cap, to which
were sewn some ringlets, such as are used by thieves
to baffle identity.
MARY L E B ONE.
Thomas Good was charged with having, in a
pugilistic encounter, killed Henry Bermingham. The
parties were both in the service of greengrocers, in
Portland Town.
Mr. Clarkson attended for the prisoner.
The evidence, which was briefly gone into, went
to state that on the previous night the prisoner and
the deceased were in the above neighbourhoud, and
that some words ensued between them. It was agreed
that they should adjourn to a spot near Primrose-hill
to fight it out. After the finishing of one of the
rounds deceased was in the act of getting up, when
he received a blow, and never more rose. Mr. Britton,
a surgeon, was sent for, who, on his arrival, pro-
nounced the poor fellow to be dead. He (the surgeon)
stated, in answer to the magistrate, that there were
no signs of external violence.
The prisoner was remanded till Monday next.
To-day a number of workmen commenced their
labours, which will probably last five or six weeks,
in the court, in which extensive alterations are to be
made. The accommodation hitherto afforded has been
extremely deficient in many respects,
.and has formed
the subject of well-grounded complaint. The busi-
ness will, until the said alterations are completed, be
transacted in the up-stairs rooms of the house, No.
$6, High-street, of which the old court forms a por-
tion ; and the apartments alluded to have been fitted
up at a short notice, IR such a way as to afford such
convenience as under the circumstances could be
looked for.
