POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

- - - -
MARLBORO UGH- STR EET.
Catherine Moody, a well-dressed female, was brought up
on a remand, charged with uttering a counterfeit coin.
Mr. William Russell, landlord of the Cambrian Tavern,
Castle-street, Leicester-square, stated that the prisoner came
to his house on the night of the 14th instant, and having
called for a glass of sherry, which he supplied her with,
tendered a half-crown in payment. Directly he felt the
coin he detected it as being had, and taxed the
prisoner with attempting to defraud him. The pri-
soner replied that she -had just received the money of
a gentleman, and would go and tell him of it. Witness,
however, would not it her off so easily, but sent for a
constable and gave her in charge.
Police-sergeant Wells C, said he received charge of the
prisoner and conveyed her to the station, where she was
searched, and eight counterfeit. half-crowns were found tied
up in one corner of her shawl.
The barmaid at lieu Caunt'a proved taking a counterfeit
half-cro.vn from the prisoner on the same awning, in pay-
ment tor a bis,uir.
The prisoner, who denied all knowledge of the coin being
bat:, was committed for trial.

Mr. Brain, to the rojaent engineer, stated t

• •
the pr;,,, tit,r was opploveu by the c..mpauy to Orrin points on
the railway, and for that purpo,e was supplied from time to
time chit -bars of iron. Of late, however, it was a-,cerl aioed
that, instead of the prisoner returning to the company the
iron left after making the points, he converted the same to his
own purposes, upwards of eight tons having been discovered,
and which lie sold as old iron.
The prisoner, a smith by trade. said that he considered the
pieces of iron left after making the points as his own per-
quisites.
The secretary said that the company never intended that
the prisoner should have the iron, and that it was his duty
to have returned it to the company's store.
A witness named Smith, a general dealer, proved that he
purchased of the prisoner a large quantity of iron alleged
to have been stolen under the circumstances above men-
tioned, and which he afterwards sold to Mr. Lumby, an iron
merchant at Backside.
The iron having been idnitified, the prisoner was remanded.

A letter from Flushing, of the 17th, announces that
the Dutch frigate the Prince d'Orange, commanded by Prince
Henry of the Netherlands, was driven on shore at Ratue-
kens during the previous night.
THE EPSOM TERMINUS ON THE OAICS DAY.—
Thursday morning a number of persons availed themselves of
the direct line to Epsom, but the majoi ity of them were of a
more respectable class of persons than those who travelled on
the lino on the Derby day. Among those who travelled by
the first-class carriages we perceived several of the aristocracy.
The directors have considerably improved the entrance, by
which much facility is afforded to the passengers, preventing,
in a great measure, the frightful pressure that was experienced
on the Derby day. By the twelve o'clock train upwards of
three thousand persons were conveyed, and a vast number
were left for the next train.
The improvement in the appearance of all the
growing crops, and especially the wheat in this neighbour-
hood, and we may say county, is very great within the last
ten days; and we are assured by an old farmer that in forty
years' experience he never saw the prospect of a good p
crop,
in the present early stage, more promi,ing thart
