POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--THIS DAY.)

At the Marlborough Police-court James Leggett, a
lad in the employ of Mr Morgan, 4, Pentenville-hill, was
charged bl the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals with working a horse in an unfit state, and Mr.
Morgan was summoned for causing the horse to be ill-used
by being worked. The horse was seen yesterday in Regent-
street, by Root Lull Young, officers of the Society, in a very
bad state, and on its being exaMined by Mr Cherry, the
Government veterinary surgeon, it was found to be lime in
both forelegs, and with several sores about it, from which
blood was running. Morgan said he would have the horse
destroyed. It was only sent out yesterday because he was
short of a horse. Mr. Knox fined Morgan 40s. and costs,
and Leggett 10s. or seven days.
EAT it AOItEINAET SUICIDE MANIA. —George Johnson, aged
28 years, and described as a smith, of No. 3, Old Bow-lane,
surgeon, was brought before Mr. Lushington at the Thames
Police-c,airt, charged with attempting to commit suicide.

The prisoner jumped into the Tham's at Blackwell, and
would have been drowned but for the heroic behaviour of a
man named William Payne, of 52, Regent- street, Black-
wall, who gallantly went to Lis rescue. Payne nearly
lost his life in the attempt. He was encumbered
with his clothes and hat, but he was a good swimmer, and suc-
ceeded iu saving the prisoner, and held his head above water
until assistance arrived. The prisoner, who appeared to be
very dejected, said ho had recently lost a good situation, and
had been (kinking to excess. He was very sorry for what
he had done. Mr. Lushington said life was given to us for
nobler purposes than to be destroyed, and severely ad-
monished the prisoner on the rashness and wickedness of his
conduct in attempting the serious crime of self-mur-
der, which was contrary to all Divine and human lawd.
He remanded the prisoner for a wee); and awarded 7s. 6d.
to Payne for his bravery. Mary Ann Schroeder, a bloated
and dissipated woman, was next charged with attempting
self-destruction. She has been living at No. 5, Richards-
street, Stepuey. A woman named Phoebe King, a laundress,
said she was called out of the Rising Sun Tavern, in Ox-
ford-street, Stepney, and saw the prisoner at her bed side
" cutting away" at her throat, and took the knife from her.
The prisoner, who was the worse for liquor, said,
" Don't give me in charge, I will drown myself."
The Prisoner--I am very wretched. Mr. Lush-
ington—What a very shocking thing this is. A
police-constable named Griven produced a very large

and blood-stained knife, with which the prisoner attempted
self-destruction. Mr. Lushington remanded the prisoner
for a week. Three attempts at suicide were committed in
the neighbourhood of the King David-lane Station, Shad-
well, on Friday night. A woman threw herself from the
New Gravel-lane Bridge into the London Dock and was
drowned, Another woman threw herself from the second
storey of a house of ill-fame in that horrible place,
Palmer's Folly, Rateliff Highway, and was killed. Another
woman leaped from the first floor window of a house in Old
Gravel-lane, and was very seriously injured. She is in the
London Hospital, and is not expected to recover.

RETURNING PROM TUE " OAKS."--Mr. Francis Sherridan,
of 48, Ctrosvenor-place, Pimlico, " gentleman," was charged
at the Westminster Police-court with being disorderly
at Crereorne-gardens, and also assaulting Police-constable
Edward Jury, 28 T R. The policeman said that he found
defendant at the river side entrance of Cremorne, at three
o'clock that morning. As he was creating a disturbance he
told him to remove, and on his refusal moved him, when
defendant struck him a blow in the stomach, and a second
on the neck. Defendant said that he was waiting at the
entrance to the garden for a friend, when the police came
up and rudely pushed him away, and he was struck
in the face. The policeman must have been per-
fectly mistaken in supposing that he struck him. There
was a large crowd of persons, and a great deal of confusion
and pushing about. Mr Selfe inquired whether defendant
_ _

had been o the Oaks. Defendant replied that he had. Mr.
Selfe thought that every allowance should be made for a
man who-had been to the Oaks. He was fined 10s.

It is stated that the cost of the new Roman
Catholie chapel which the Duke of Norfolk is erecting at
Arundel will be about £50,000.

Sir Charles M. ordaunt will, it is believed, make an
appeal to the" House of Lords against the decision of the
majority of the judges in the Divorce Court yesterday.
Miss , Cleveland, who has 'long sustained the
character of the leading tragedienne in Australia, is on her
way home.' _ _

Complaints have been made of the number of
general officers on the French active list, but it seems
that in 1800 there were 360 generals to 511,000 men ; in
1830, 400 to 250,000 ; and in 1870, 240 to 400,000.
Captain Lamert, of Worcester College, one of the
leading Freemasons of Oxford, and late Worshipful Grand
Master of the University Lodge died suddenly on
Thursday night from apoplexy at his residence in Beau-
mont-street, Oxford. _ _ _

The last intelligence from Cuba is favourable. The
insurrection was nearly at a close, the elections for
deputies have been ordered, and the Minister for the
Spanish colonies is busy preparing a scheme for the aboli-
tion of slavery.

The Royal Dublin Society have commissioned Mr.
Catterson Smith to paint a portrait of Dr. Joly, to be
placed in their library. It will be remembered that Dr.
Joly presented the Royal Dublin Society with a large and
valuable library of modern books.

The destruction of foxes by poisoning has become
a favourite pastime in Dorset. Seven have thus been
killed within the past few days in the neighbourhood of
Winterborne Abbas. A few weeks ago a still larger num-
ber were destroyed in the same manner.
BRIGANDAGE IN ITALY.—Letters from Calabria
state that no further apprehensions 9f an increase of
brigandage are entertained. In consequence of the dis-
persion of the Filadelfia band all engaged in that move-
ment have returned to their homes. A remnant of the
band of Nathan, consistine, of ten persons, is wandering
about in the mountains between the provinces of Como
and Londrio, and is being pursued by the troops.
Several garrisons on the frontiers have been strengthened.
The Swiss gendarmes are echeloned in sight of the
Swiss frontier. A band, numbering sixty persons, com-
prising several students, has appeared north of the, Lake
of Como.

A. NEW ANODYNE.—It is announced by several
journals that Dr. Oscar Liebreich, to whom we owe
Protagon and the now well-known Chloral, has dis-
covered a new anodyne to which the name of Chloride of
Athylide (Aethylictenchlorid) has been given. This sub-
stance, which has been repeatedly applied with perfect
success in the clinical hospital of Dr. Langenbeck, is said to
be more rapid and agreeable in its effects than chloro-
form. The chief merit, however, claimed for it is, that it
may be administered without interfering with the free and
natural breathing of the patient, an advantage which it
possesses over most other anaesthetics. As the effect of
the new body is stated to be very transient, the dose must
he repeated in a lengthened operation.—Nora German
Coreespondent.
THE DERBY A FUNERAL.—Foreigners who happen
to be in London during the " Derby week" probably from
some odd notions about the scenes of " the road and the
race." Very odd, for instance, was the notion which two
South American lads, newly arrived in Clapham a few
days before the race, got into their heads from seeing the
road." It so happened that the old grandmother in the
family into which they were to be received had died a few
days before their coming. It was found out afterwards that
they wrote home to their friends telling them how the old
lady had died, and how her funeral had taken place on the
following Wednesday, a more splendid funeral than they
had ever heard of, people going all the morning and
coming back all night. We have been told often enough
that we amuse ourselves very sadly, and here is another
testimony of the truth of the saying.—Pall Malt Gazette.
MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A YOUNG LADY.
—Teigiunouth (Devon) with all the neighbourhood, was on
Thursday in a state of great excitement in consequence of
the strange disappearance of Miss Shaw, eldest daughter
of Mr. J. Shaw, Berne-park. 'The young lady, who h., not
quite 13 years of age, left school at five p.m. on Wednes-
day evening, but at ten p.m. had not reached home. Her
father, being alarmed, went to the school to inquire the
reason of her absence, when he found that she had left at
the time above stated, and had been sent by the school-
mistres going in the direction of Bitta-street. She was
afterwards seen by a man named Gill to pass through
Bishopsteiguton. She was further supposed to have been
seen riding in a waggon towards Chudleigh. The father
and several friends had been engaged in searching for her
the whole day, but up to ten o'clock on Thursday night
Mrs, Shaw had received no information as to her where-
ebonts.—Westerea, Morning News.

'EW AND IMPORTANT FOOD DISOOVRRED FOR
(KAREN AND INVALlDS.—Especially deserving more.:
than a, passing notice is " The entire wheat flour." '
Nothing hitherto produced has combined all the necessary
qualities for nourishing and sustaining the whole fabric
of the human body. It is especially to be remembered
that during its infancy there is additional work to be done
in the formation of the various organic substances neces-
sary, for the building up of a healthy structure. It is not
enough to supply that which is necessary for one portion
of the body only, all parts must be duly cared for; there
must be flesh-forming materials to repair the waste of the
muscles and provide for their increase that which sustains
genial warmth and provides for the formation of bone so
rapid used in early life. These essential requisites are not
found in arrowroot and the various starchy foods
generally used, hence the desideratum of a food combining
all that is necessary for the supply of the total demands
of the body. For invalids it is invaluable. As a prepara-
tion for children it is important in the extreme, affording
as it does all the component parts of a perfect food, easily
digestible, more productive of a generally healthy frame
than anyother diet. All persons desirous of testing this
invaluable discovery of the entire wheat flour, prepared
by. Orlando Jones and Co., can do so not as a mere ex-
periment, but with a certainty of success.
