POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A professional gentleman applied to Mr. Bingham to
assist a client to recover the money he had paid to pur-
chase a horse, or to give him possession of the horse.
His client saw an advertisement in the papers for a horse
to be sold, which he thought would suit him. He came
up from Hertfordshire, and went to the stables where the
horse was to be seen, and finally agreed to become the
purchaser for 36 guineas. In payment of the horse he
gave 18 guineas in cash, and a note of hand at a short
date for the remainder. As he could not leave town that
night, he left the horse at the stables of the seller; but,
on applying to have the animal given up to him next
day, he was refused, and from that day to the present
he had not been able to get any satisfaction. Seeing an
advertisement in yesterday's paper for a horse to be sold,
and exactly describing the horse he had bought, he was
convinced it was the same, and authorised an application
to a magistrate on the subject. He wished to know
whether the magistrate would direct a police-constable
to go to the stable, and demand to have the horse
given up.
Mr. BINGHAM said he had no objection to try what an
officer might effect in the way of persuasion, but as the
matter involved a question of credit, it was out of his
jurisdiction. Besides, he could not deal with a case of
property of the value of 36/. Had the horse been under
151. he would have applied the powers he possessed as
well as he could to assist the applicant, but he feared
the horse dealer was too cunning for the applicant's
client in the present instarce.
MARY LEBONE.
Lord William Lennox attended to substantiate a
charge against two sailors, named Farmer and Preston.
It appeared from the evidence that on the previous day
the prisoners were outrageously drunk in Oxford-street,
and conducting themselves in such an extraordinary way
as to lead to a reasonable supposition that, unless they
were secures and properly taken care of, they would
either be robbed of all they possessed, or do mischief to
other persons or their property; his Lordship, who wit-
nessed their ♦agaries, followed them as far as Cam-
bridge-street, when he called the attention of a constable
to them, and they were then taken to the station-house;
he pursued this course with the view principally of caus-
ing the prisoners to be kept out of harm's way, as it was
clear they knew not what they were doing; they were
throwing papers and other things about in all directions,
and one of them was near putting his head through a
pane of plate glass in a shop window.
The' Magistrate discharged the prisoners, who ad-
mitted having been " three sheets in the wind," and gave
them to understand, that but for the interference of his
Lordship, they would in all probability have got into
much more serious trouble.
WORSHIP-STREET.
MURDEROUS ATTACK.—Sarah Fuirey, the wife of a
bricklayer, was charged before Mr. Hammill, with
having attempted to strangle a young married woman,
named Emma_Gaze, who was unable to leave the hospi-
tal from the injuries she had sustained.
It appeared from the evidence that the father of the
injured woman, a tradesman in Fuller-street, Bethnal-
green, was apprised on the preceding night that his
daughter, who resided in the same house with the pri-
soner, in an adjoining street, was being murdered, and
instantly hastened, with his son and other relatives, to
her assistance. On reaching the house, which was sur-
rounded by a large crowd of persons, attracted by screams
of " murder," they forced open the door and made their
way into an upper room, where they found the woman
Gaze lying with her infant upon the floor, held down by
the prisoner, who was kneeling upon her chest, and
grasping her throat tightly with both her hands. At the
moment they entered the woman was in strong convul-
sions, with her head twisted on one side, and evidently
upon the point:, of strangulation. They succeeded by a
violent etfort in dragging off her assailant, and having
raised the object of her brutality, who was in a senseless
condition into a chair, a surgeon was promptly sent for,who
directed her instant removal to the London Hospital.
The prisoner, in the meantime, endeavoured to effect her
escape, and, on their attempting to secure her, she made
an indiscriminate attack upon them, in which she was
joined by her husband, and fought with such fury,
that it was only by the combined efforts of the whole of
them that she was ultimately overpowered, and given
into custody.
Upon being asked by the magistrate if they could as-
sign any reason for such a ferocious attack, one of the
witnesses replied that it solely arose from the fact of the
young woman having been compelled to take out a war-
rant against her on account of some previous violence on
the part of the prisoner, and which was appointed for
hearing on Monday next.
A certificate from Mr. Gowland, the house surgeon of
the London Hospital, was put in, which described the
injured woman as suffering from severe contusions,
which would prevent her attendance to give evidence for
some time.
Upon being called upon for her defence, the prisoner
gave a general denial to all that had been alleged against
her, and was ordered to be remanded for a week.

SOUTHWARK.
Yesterday Horamjee Fre.mjee a native of Bombay,
dressed in the costume of his country, applied to Mr.
Cottingham for his advice and assistance under the fol-
lowing circumstances:—
wehonasdpnoleeeen thine
tEhengsleirsvhiclaengnuf atgeienfltu.:
en
GeneralTt flu-
ently, , e
stateds applicant,ir th
O'Connell, Governor of Sydney,
at he
South Wales, in the capacity of head cook, and at
Maurice
his decease accompanied Lady O'Connell to this country.
It was by his own particular desire that her Ladyship
allowed him to come to England, where he had hopes of
obtaining employment, as he was an expert hand ut
making curry and chutnee, and other ingredients con-
nee,ted with cookery, which were much used in this
country, as well as in India. Since his arrival, how-
ever, he had utterly fail,d in getting employment, and
was, therefore, reduced to a state bordering on starva-
tion, and as he had no claim upon any parish, he could
neither get back to his country or obtain the shelter of a
workhouse. He here produced strong letters of recom-
mendation from eminent persons abroad and amonest
them from Sir Charles Edward Grey, formerly Chief
Justice of Calcutta; but no:v Governor of one of the
West India islands, Lady O'Connell, &c., which spoke of
him in the most favourable terms as a skilful, honest, in-
dustrious man at his business. He added that he had
experienced the most humane and benevolent conduct at
the hands of the respected lady he had mentioned, but
that as the did not require a person in his capacity on
her establishment, and being an utter stranger here, he
ran the risk of perishing for want if he remained longer
without employment.
In reply to Mr. CoTrmlcaux, the applicant said that
he had applied to get a passage out to Sydney or Bom-
bay, at either of which places he would be enabled to
gain a respectable livelihood, but he had failed in his
applications. He then described that he was a proficient
in the manufacture of wines, liqueurs, and other articles,
and considered that if he was known here that his ser-
vices would be invaluable to any person who employed
him; but the fact of his being an oriental, and in a
strange land, precluded him from being engaged in the
capacity which he had already filled to the perfect satis-
faction of all those distinguished persons by whom he
was employed in India and New South Wales; and that
he had only been seven weeks in England.
Mr. Cox-um:max said the recommendations he pro-
duced were of the most flattering description, and
evinced that he was a deserving man in his sphere of
life. It was certainly a most deplorable case, but he
could not help thinking Lady O'Connell bad acted inju-
diciously in bringing the applicant to this country from
se distant a part of te globe, not knowing how he was
to get back again in the event of his nut succeeding in
obtaining employment, although it was at his particu-
lar desire she sanctioned it. However, as the case at
present stood, the applicant, b. ing an entire stranger,
and having no claims upon any parish, he (the magis-
trate) would take care, at all events, that he should not
starve ; and although the means at his disposal were at
present circumscribed, owing to the number of other
poor objects assisted from the poor-box,: yet he should
feel it incumbent on him to assist a man in his situation
from the same source until something could be done for
him, and that when his unfortunate case was known he
was confident that the liberality of Englishmen would be
exercised in his favour, and that he would either be
found employment here or be sent back again to his own
country. The magistrate then desired the poor fellow to
call at the court again in a few days, for which he ex-
pressed his gratitude.

THE BISHOPRIC OF DOWN.

DUBLIN, TUESDAY.—Dean Tighe,vDean of the
Chapel Royal and first chaplain to the Lord Lieu-
tenant, is mentioned as likely to be appointed to the
vacant Bishopric of Down and Connor.
THE DINNER. TO SIR C. NAPIER.

The committee of the dinner to Sir Charles Napier,
the hero of Sinde, which is to be given on the 16th
inst., have received the following letter from Lord
Hardinge

" South Park, Oct. 30.
" Lord Hardinge presents his compliments to the
committee, and, in reply to their letter, regrets that
it will not be in his power to be present at the dinner
about to be given in Dublin to Sir Charles Napier.
He is consoled for his absence, which is unavoidable,
by the fact that he has already had the gratification
of witnessing the reception of his distinguished friend
in the midst of his comrades of the navy and army
in the United Service Club, and of there expressing
his sentiments of admiration for the great ability dis-
played and eminent services rendered by that gallant
officer, and which he is confident will be celebrated
by his fellow-countrymen in Ireland in a manner
worthy of the illustrious man whom it is intended to
honour."

afloat with regard to his successor. The current im-
pression at present seems to be, that Dr. Sadleir, ProVost
of Trinity College, Dublin, will obtain the vacant
bishopric, but in the present state of the matter it is
impossible to speak with any degree of confidence upon
the subject. It is not improbable that the claims of the
present Dean of Raphoe, the Very Rev. Lord Edward
Chichester, brother to the Marguis of Donegal, will be
strongly pressed upon the Government. However, let
who may be appointed, we trust that the mitre will
descend to an Irishman."

RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.
THE THREE GREAT COMPANIES.

The proposed amalgamation of the London and North-
Western, the Great Western, and the South-We ;tern
Railway Companies has since its public announcement
engaged the attention of several shareholders in those
companies, and has given rise to much conversation on
the subject. A great practical difficulty presents itself
to them respecting the terms upon which it is proposed
to amalgamate. Shareholders of the London and North.
Western contend that it would be exceedingly unjust to
them to unite at par with either the Great Western or
the South-Western, the stock of the former being con-
sidered more valuable in every respect than that of
either of the latter. The Great Western shareholders,
on the other hand,' believe it would be advantageous
to them to amalgamate, and, as a proof, the prices of
their shares have risen considerably since the announce-
ment. Some of the Liverpool shareholders of the Lon-
don and North-Western look with considerable dis-
may upon the scheme ; they say the object for which
it is proposed to amalgamate—namely, to avoid expen-
sive Parliamentary contests—would be much better
effected by a committee composed of an equal number of
directors or shareholders in the three companies, with
power to decide any question or dispute which may
arise between the respective boards as to branches or ex-
tensions. They are alarmed at the probable conse-
quences of further amalgamation, which they say can
only have the effect of permanently reducing the divi-
dend, stating as a case in point that the Liverpool and
Manchester from its opening in the year 1830 to the
amalgamation with the Grand Junction and the Bir-
mingham in 1846 paid a dividend of 10 per cent. per
annum, that the Grand Junction paid at one period 13
per cent , and never leas than 9i per cent. per annum
until after the amalgamation in 1846 with the London
and Birmingham Company. The last dividend of the
amalgamated or London and North-Western Company
was at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum. Those who
were in the habit of receiving 10 per cent, dividend for
the past 16 years feel the reduction, as well as those
who purchased the shares in the London and North.
Western at a high premium, expecting that it would
continue to pay a 10 per cent. dividend, and are of
course anxious to avoid further reduction. The amal-
gamation scheme is looked upon with much distrust, its
magnitude being likely to create public jealousy, and
thereby render it liable to restrictions which might tend
to still further injure the property and reduce its value.
The general opinion is, that the scheme will result in
no good to the shareholders generally, and that it has
been concocted more with a view to promote the great
ambition of a few individuals, than to effect any sub-
stantial benefit to the shareholders or advantage to the
public.
