POLICE INTELLIGENCE,
MANSION.HOUSE.
The LORD MAvott stated that lie had received a
letter of which the following is a copy, from a tradesman
in Ireland, relative to a firm in London which pretended
to procure sums of money for those who might require
cash :
"Tuam, kith Nov: 1846.
"My Lord,—As I presume the inclosed (similar ones
having come to other people in trade here) is from sorn
fictitious concern established for no good purpose, I take
the liberty of inclosing it to your Lordship that you
might take such measures as to prevent fraud, if any is
intended.—l have the honour to be " yourPAT
M obedillUGHent servant,
'."
The paper inclosed is directed from John street, Lon-
' don fields, and signed W. B. Bosanquet and Co., factors
and commission brokers. After stating the extensive bill
transactions in which the firm say they are engaged,
and the care they take to prevent the bills which they
negotiate from having the appearance of accommodation
paper, they proceed thus:—" If you deride upon this
method of making a remittance for our commission at
any time, please to send post-office orders, as it has fre-
quently occurred that letters inclosing bank notes have
never come to hand ; as also a copy of the undertaking,
signed by yourself, when you will be remitted such bills
for the amount you request, as will not fail meeting
your approval. And should you require any bills ou
tradesmen or merchants in Ireland, we can furnish you
with most respectable bills, either payable at my
bankers in Dublin, or the Provincial Bank of Ireland,
Old Broad street, London. Any time it should happen
you have goods on hand, and find sales dull or difficult,
and wish to make trial, by sending us part we will use
our best endeavours to turn them into money for you,
to advantage towards paying your bills as they become
due, or remit you the cash as they are sold ; this we can
attend to at any time, whether you require bills or no,
having a general shipping connexion."
His Loansrur said he had received letters from other
parts of Ireland, enclosing like information as to the
alleged dealings of the parties who promised so much ac-
commodation, and whose object appeared plain enough
to him, and every man who understood mercantile busi-
ness in London.
Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, said that since he had
been in his present situation, several complaints had been
made, and copies of the pretended terms of accommoda-
tion had been transmitted to the Chief Magistrate. In the
present instance, however, it appeared that the Messrs.
Bosanquet and Co., who had pitched upon a respectable
name to trade with, were trying their luck with strangers.
Formerly they seemed to be satisfied with taking a round
of the provincial towns of England, and scouring London
itself.
The LORD MAYOR intimated that if any case should
occur before him in which he could show the estimation
in which he held the transactions of the firm, he should
most heartily undertake the exercise of his authority.
Several persons were brought before his Lordship
upon charges of having smuggled goods in their pos-
session, and fined in different penalties from 10s. to 40s.
each.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of November 24.)
SuGmt..—To-day low middling and brown sorts of West
India Sugar were freely offered at a reduction on the rates of
Friday of 6d per cwt; still they were purchased with much
caution for the scale and refining purposes, and the supply is
yet good, but strong grey and good to fine yellow sorts were
in excellent request, and the prices paid were fully equal to
those of Friday, and in some instances rather above.
REFECED.—To-day prices were firm for Refined Sugar,
and the home demand was good for all descriptions. Brown
Lumps, according to quality, fetched 62s to 635, and standard
lumps 643 per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is wanted, first
sort at 335, but little is to be had.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the quantity of Mauritius
submitted to public sale amounted to 8,674 bags of the new
crop, and which sold at full rates for good and fine yellow
qualities, but low and middling went 6d, and brown Is per
cwt lower.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Madras
Sugar offered at public sale amounted to 2,595 bags, but
little desire was shown to operate, and a small part only sold
at about the former varue.
bltztLassEs.—Prices are still declining for West India, the
demand having been limited at 20s to 26s for low to tine
quality, and there is a fair quantity of all sorts at market.
East India Molasses are little wanted, and can be had at 21s
to 235. Honey can be obtained on lower terms.
FOREIGN.—The market has again been scantily supplied
with all descriptions of Foreign Sugar available for home
consumption, and the deliveries are yet exceeding the arri-
vals, still no improvement in the value can be quoted,
although the stock in first hands is reduced to a small ebb.
CoFvsE.—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee was sparingly
dealt in privately, and 210 bags iantation at and ion were
chiefly taken in. For all other descriptions of Coffee the
market has a dull appearance, and the tendency of prices
downwards.
TEL—lmporters have confidence, and refrained from offer-
ing any at public sale since our last report. Speculators have
come forward with increased freedom, and the trade both in
town and country are for the most part inclined to get well
into stock, in consequence of the increased probability of a
considerable reduction being made in the duty, and Teas
being yet much under the cost of importation.
RICE.—To-day Bengal Rice met with little attention, and
the sound of 1,864 bags at auction was all taken in at about
the former value.
SPICES.—To-day at public sale 772 bags of Malabar Pepper
were only in part sold at easier rates—heavy brown at 3d to
3%d, half heavy grey 23/1 to 2S3d, good bright 2%,/ad, and
damaged 2d to 3d. 102 bags of white were taken in at 4d
for sound. 53 bags of Barbadoes Ginger sold at 28s 6d for
small. 76 bags Pimento taken in at 4ad for good. 9 chests
41 casks 105 bags 10 mats Cloves partly sold at 8d to Oct for
old dingy. 34 bags of Pod Pepper sold at 96s to 1018 per
cwt. 228 bags Wild Nutmegs at 4d to 6d per lb.
FRUIT.—The purchases made in Valencia Raisins have
been extensive, and the expected arrivals not coming up,
prices have risen from 46s to 475. For Currants the market is
very firm, and the demand brisk. Zante and Cephalonia 555,
Patras 565. For low-priced Turkey Figs there is muck in-

quiry.
Sriarrs.—A further increase has taken place in the '
deliveries of Rum, and the stock is yet deficient of that of
last year; and this is still cheaper than any other spirit. i
Jamaica Rum has been purchased with more freedom, and
brought prices fully equal to those of last Tuesday. Prices
are firm for Leeward Island, but the supply has become in-
adequate for the demand. Calcutta is wanted, and but little
is to be had out of first hands. Demerara has been sold to a
fair extent, and at firm prices. Brandy is not to be obtained
upon lower terms, as the deliveries continue large, and the
stock on the decrease. For British made Spirits the demand
is still as extensive as ever, and prices are firm.
lloPs.—ln Sussex the operations have been upon a more
extended scale, but factors have been compelled to accept
previous reduced rates. All other sorts met with little atten-
tion, and there are free sellers upon former low prices.
SALTPETRE.—HoIders have refused to submit to any fur-
ther reduction in prices, but the home and export demand at
present is limited for all qualities, and 600 bags of Calcutta
at auction were sold at the previous currency, and went at
25s for middling grey 10 per cent. ; 25s 6d to 26s for good
yellowish 6 per cent, and at 21s 6d to 22s for sugar damaged.
A brisker demand for all kinds, it is expected, will take place
shortly. British Refined is still in excellent request at
2956 d to 30s. Nitrate of Soda is wanted at 17s 6d to lBs
per cwt.
Otis.—Cocoa Nut has met with attention, and brought
prices fully equal to those previously current. In Palm
there has been little passing privately, and prices are falling.
For Linseed Oil further reduced rates have been accepted
with caution. In Rape Seed Oil many purchases have
been made, but better prices are not obtainable.
In Olive only a limited business has been transacted, and
lower rates have been accepted. Cod is offered upon rather
lower terms; still only a limited business has been trans-
acted.
Seal has been sparingly dealt in, and prices tend
downwards. In Sperm few purchases have been made,
and holders are desirous to sell, good and fine British at
851 to 881, and American at 841 to 861 per tun. Lard Oil
moves off slowly at 371 to 441 per cwt.
TALLOW.—Although the town and country trade have
been large operators in Russian Tallow on the spot, still a
further decline in prices has taken place, 47s 9d to 48s 31,1
per cwt being accepted for fine Petersburgh yellow Candle,
and at which there are willing sellers. For delivery up to
the end of the year few buyers are to be met with,
although 47s 6d to 47s 9d would be taken. There are
sellers for spring months at 48s. 3d to 48s 6d, but few
contracts have been entered into. Home made Tallow sells
freely at 49s to 50s nett cash, but having a plentiful supply
there are ready sellers at those rates. Of other sorts of Tal-
low several parcels have been disposed of privately, but at
rather lower prices ; at auction 79 csks of Australian sold,
good at 47s to 47e 6d, middling 43s 6d to 46s 6d; 91 csks
first sort P. Y. Candle were taken in at 48s, and 10 hhds
New York 48s 6d per cwt. There are further arrivals of
Tallow. Prices are still higher than last year.

SOUTHWARK.
A case, which excited considerable interest, and which
was adjourned over from the previous day, came on for
hearing, in the shape of a summons against Miss Emily
Mitchell, for assaulting and obstructing two persons, one
a tipstaff of the Common Pleas, and the other the officer
of the Queen's Bench prison, in the performance of their
duty.
Mr. Ballantine appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
J. H. Parry for the defendant. Mr. Sturgeon, also a
barrister, attended to watch the proceedings on the part
of a gentleman named Herring, interested in the case,
and an inmate of the above prison.
The complainants' statements in support of the charge
were to the following effect :—On the morning of the
19th inst. they were employed in conveying Mr. Herring
by a habeas from the Queen's Bench Prison to the
Arches' Court, Doctors'-commons, where he was a party
in a cause. When they got outside the walls of the
Bench, Mr. Herring was joined by Miss Emily Mitchell,
and they all proceeded together to their destination. On
their return to the prison, when they got to the corner
of Holland-street, Black friars-road, the tipstaff and
his colleague insisted that the person they had
in custody should go down Holland-street, and by
that route to the Bench. This, however, was
resisted by the defendant, who urged Mr.
Herring not to proceed in that direction, but to
go down the road. The latter, acting under the in-
fluence of that advice, expressed his intention not to pro-
ceed the way the officers wished, and a cab was called
off the stand, in which it was intended to place Mr. Her-
ring. When the vehicle drove up for that purpose, Miss
Mitchell placed herself at the door so as to preclude the
possibility of placing Mr. Herring within it, and she at
the same time collected a crowd by her extraordinary
conduct, and, as alleged by the officers, she threw such
rash impediments in the way, that they were under ap-
prehensions at the time that the mob, excited by her
behaviour, would have attempted a rescue, and enabled
the gentleman they had in custody to make his escape,
he at the time being under heavy liabilities as a debtor
in the Queen's Bench. At length, however, and after a
gentleman was called to render assistance, Mr. Herring,
finding matters assuming rather a serious aspect, got
into the cab with the dfendant, accompanied by the
officers, and was safely lodged in his old quarters. For
the obstruction that ensued on the occasion, originating
in the conduct manifested by the defendant, the authori-
ties of the Queen's Bench Prison considered it requisite
to bring the circumstances under the. consideration of
the magistrate, in order that those officers, having an
important duty to perform, should not be obstructed in
the manner above described, but protected in the due and
proper execution of it.
Mr. Parry stated that he had several witnesses in at-
endance to disprove the statements made by the com•
plaining parties, and whose testimony would thereby
show that it was a trumpery charge altogether, and got
up with a view of persecuting the parties, particularly
Mr. Herring, who bad somehow rendered himself ob-
noxious to the prison authorities—that, in point of fact,
that gentleman had actions now pending for assaults
committed upon him by officers of the prison in which
he was incarcerated. The Learned Gentleman then
proceeded to cross-examine the tipstaff arid the Queen's
Bench officer as to whether they were not influenced by
ill-feelings against Mr. Herring to adopt the present
proceedings against the defendant. The officers, how-
ever, denied that such was the fact, and Mr. Parry was
about to call forward the witnesses for the defence, when
The MAGISTRATE suggested, that as a case of common
assault was made out against the defendant, he should
therefore adjudge her to enter into her own recognisance
of 201. to appear to answer the charge at the sessions,
that when the case was regularly before a jury the de-
fendant could then have all the advantage of her wit-
nesses' testimony in her behalf.
The magistrate's suggestion was agreed to by Mr.
Parry, but his client expressed her disappointment, say-
ing that she was convinced, if her witnesses were
heard, the magistrate would decide the case by dismissing
it at once, without sending it before another tribunal.
An application was afterwards made by Mr. Sturgeon,
ou the behalf of Mr. Herring, calling upon the magis-
trate to compel the two complainants to enter into bail
to keep the peace, as he was really afraid of them, and
that they threw every obstacle in his way, and, by th, it
conduct. tried to persecute him in every possible way.
Mr. SECKER, however, refused the application, and
Miss Mitchell having entered into the required surety,
was then discharged.
WOR SH IP- S E ET.

LOVE AND SUICIDE.—On Monday between one and
two o'clock, Ellis King, aged twenty-one, servant out ot
employ, was admitted into the Charing-cross Hospital,
under the following circumstances : She was a fen
weeks ago in a situation in the neighbourhood of Wal-
worth, where she formed as attachment to a young man
who promised to marry her, and on whose account she
is alleged to have left her place. She went to lodge
with some friends at No. 9, Duke-street, Adelphi, when
her suitor failed to keep his appointments to meet her
upon several occasions, and she became so melancholy as
to excite the attention of her friends. On Monday morn-
ing she went out in an unusually cheerful manner, anti
returned almost immediately, exhibiting symptoms of
illness ; it being suspected that she had taken poison,
she was removed to the above institution, where she was
at one pronounced to be labouring under the effects of
some cieleterioua potion, and she expired in about an
hour after her admission.
FATAL VAN ACClDENT.—Yesterday Mr. Payne
held an inquest at St. Bartholomew's Hospital on Mrs.
Caroline Thomas, aged thirty years, the wife of a
copperplate-printer, residing in Dorrington street,
Clerkensvell. On Friday last, about eleven o'clock in
the morning, deceased was crossing Warner-street, when
she came in contact with a. van drawn by one horse, and
heavily laden. She was knocked down, and fell under
the bind off wheel. Her body completely " scotched "
the wheel, and she was pushed along the road for up-
wards of twenty yards. She expired almost immediately.
A great number of witnesses were examined, but it ap-
peared that the driver, who is in custody, used his en-
deavours to stop the horse, but ineffectually. The house
surgeon said deceased died from the injury having caused
an effusion of blood in the abdomen. Verdict—Acci-
dental death.
PROJECTIONS OF SHOP-FRONTS; DOUBTFUL CLAUSES
IN THE BUILDINGS ACT.—The award of the Official Re-
ferees, relative to projections of shop-fronts, &c., in-
volves matter of the most serious importance, not only
to the profession, but also to the owners of ground in
the metropolis. Without reference to the particular case,
the principle therein enunciated is no less than this—
that in almost every case of a rebuilding in the city of
London, where every inch of ground is so valuable that
the houses are split up into small tenements, the owner
must, without compensation, or even without any agile
qoate benefit to the public, as I shall subsequently show,
give tip a portion of his ground, or forego all attempt at
architectural decoration. I cannot imagine that the Le-
gislature, by a side-wind, intended in this irregular
manner to widen the thoroughfares, as it would thus only
be done piecemeal, at the option ot the building owners;
and the lines of streets would present a serrated jagged
appearance, like an awkward squad regiment, and be
full of nooks and nuisance corners. On the other hand.
if the house is set back, the paving committee will take
possession of the ground surrendered, pave up to the
line of the house, and the inconvenience, if there be
any, of projecting cornices, will exist, to the same in-
jury to the public as before. It appears to me that then=
is an ambiguity in the word projections, which, I sub-
mit, is used in three different senses in the three clauses.
In the first, it is applied to architectural decorations,
which are allowed ; in the second, to projections which
do not form a portion of the building, such as balconies,
verandahs, &c., which are also allowed, with a proviso ;
and, in the third, to projections which do form essential
parts in a building, such as projections on plan (a wing
and centre for instance), or projections in elevation, such
as bay-windows or corbelled rooms. These are prohi
bited unless the house is set back. Ido not propose this
as an ingenious reading ot the Act, but as a construc-
tion of the clauses, which has been held reasonable 1s)
many persons, who have endeavoured to rake out sense
from obscurity.—The Builder.
AN "UNTOWARD' HONEYMOON. —On Sunday
evening last a tire occurred near the New Quay, Exeter.
by which two houses were burned to the ground, and
most of the property contained in them was destroyed.
Six families occupied these houses. The apartment in
which it commenced was occupied by Henry Rowe, a
shoemaker. This man has children who are grown up
and do not reside with him. He was a widower of about
some three months duration, and had that morning en
tered again into the blessed and holy bonds of wedlock.
Towards evening the happy party had left for the pur-
pose of a walk into the country, in order to regale them-
selves, first, however, placing a pair of sheets before the
fire, so that these might be duly aired. Nothing alive,
as far as is known, was left in the apartment save a
cat, which had been in the habit of reposing itself on the
hob. In what way the fire was caused is not known, but
when the happy
pair returned, they found that indeed
there had been something more than an airing of the
sheets, since, on opening the door, they found these its
flames, and were themselves met by a complete body of
fire which was driven by the action of the air against
them, and forbade all attempt for admission, and the)
were obliged to spend their honeymoon in witnessing the
destruction of their property.—Devonport Telegraph.
Awror. OCCURRENCE.—On Wednesday afternoon
last, two men named Colborne, a farrier, and George
Hosier, a shoer, descended Clandown coal pit, for the
purpose of examining a horse which works underground
there, and afterwards, as they were ascending the pit, at
about ninety fathoms from the bottom, the chain in
which they were " slanged," was knocked off the rope
by another chain of about 5 cwt., which fell from the top
of the pit, and the two unfortunate men were precipitated
to the bottom, and dashed to
pieces.—Bath Journal.
It has already been stated, but not officially, that the
Pope had authorised the construction of railroads in his
Slates. The decree, however, is now issued. Te railroads
determined upon are the following t
One tho the Nea-
P"litan frontier, by the Valley del Sasses ; one t:t oru
Porto d'Auzio to Rome ; one from Rome to Civita.
Vecchia ; and lastly, one from Rome to Ancona, and
from thence to Bologna, following the ancient Via Fla-
ininia-Emilia. The execution of these lines is to he
confided to private compaaies.—Galignani.

A young man, named Edward Blundell, was placed at
the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with creating a
disturbance in the street, and assaulting police constable
Siontford, 210 K, in the execution of his duty.
The constable stated, that while on duty in Globe-
lane, Mile-end, at half-past one o'clock that morning, the
defendent passed by in company of several other persons,
one of whom accused him of improper conduct with a
woman, and asked him if he considered that to be his
iuty.. He desired them to go home and not create a dis-
turbance. when one of the party uttered an exclamation
" to give it him," and the defendant immediately struck
him a violent blow, and knocked him down, in which
iosition he was also kicked by one of them. On re
Covering his feet he drew out his truncheon to deft-nd
himself, and the defendant ran off, but was ultimately
raptured, and, after considerable resistance, conveyed to
the station.
When called upon for his answer, the defendant em-
-
morons witnesses in attendance who would prove that,
having detected the policeman in an act of grosseiTsireoir
pr,ntention by taking him into custod), in the hope of escap-
ing the consequences of his own misconduct.
The defendant then called his sister-in-law, Mrs. Ise-
hella Blundell, the wife of a plumber in Chester-place,
l3ethnal-green, who stated, that after spading the
svening with a family party, she was returning home
with several of her relatives, and was about to bid them
'rood night within a few doors of her own residence,
when they heard voices down a dark entry adjoining.
On looking down the court she directed her husband's
.attention to the constable and a woman, who were stand-
ing there, and observed to her husband, that it was a po-
liceman; on which the first witness instantly turned round,
Ind, adjusting his dress, which was in a disordered state,
~sked her what business it was of hers, if he were a
policeman, and, assailing her with a most infamous
epithet, told her he would serve her in the same way.
tier brother-in-law then intimated to the constable that
tie should wait until the sergeant came up, in order to
point out the woman to him, when the woman instantly
darted out of the entry and disappeared. They then
cold him that they should take his number and report
him to his superiors, when the officer immediately pulled
out his truncheon, and after flourishing it about like a
madman, made a rush at her sister-in-law, who had just
come out with an infant in her arms to learn the cause
of the uproar, and knocked her and the child down with
.uch violence, that after trampling upon them he over-
balanced himself, and fell forward upon his hands. On
tecovering his feet the constable, who appeared to be in
a state of great excitement, then commenced springing
his rattle, and on the arrival of another officer charged
the defendant with assaulting him, and he was forthwith
carried off to the station house. Both the infant and its
mother had sustained great injury from the violence to
which they had been subjected, and the latter, who had
se Georgerib eri
been confined to her bed nearly ever since, was unable
to attend and give evidence.

last witness, and positively denied that the defendant, or
any of the party, had either assaulted the officer or
offered him any other provocation than threatening to
report him for using such gross language to their female
relative when she directed their attention to the im
proper conduct of their accuser.
On being asked by the magistrate if he wished to offcr
fly remarks in reference to the inculpatory statements
he had just heard, the constable declared that he had not
been in company with any woman at the time spoken of,

and that the whole of the testimony against hina was
entirely false.
In reply to the magistrate it was stated that the officer
was a married man, and had always been considered a
steady one; but that he had only been about nine or ten
months in the force ; and
Mr. BINGHAM, without any observation, immediately
ordered the defendant to be discharged.
HAMMERSMITH.
Francis Smith, an Irishman, was brought up for final 1
examination before Mr. T. Paynter, the sitting magis-
trate, on a charge of having stabbed with intent to mur-
der another Irishman named Redmond Barry.
The evidence taken at the previous examinations in
the case has already appeared in The Sun. The offence
was committed on the night of Sunday, the 27th of
June, 1841, in Penning's-buildings, a colony of Irish in
the High-street, Kensington ; immediately after which
the prisoner absconded.
lie was now fully committed to Newgate to take his
trial on the charge.
