POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.

Mr. Frederick Marsh was charged by an omnibus con-
ductor with having refused to pay the whole demand made
upon him for travelling from Battle-bridge to the Royal
Exchange on Sunday.
James Shear, the conductor, told the defendant at Battle-
bridge that the fare was Is., but the defendant upon reach-
ing the Royal Exchange refused to pay more than 6d.
Every body else handed out Is., and the defendant was of
course handed over to a constable. _ _

Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL—And has the gentleman
been detained in the watchhouse all night upon such a
charge ?

Mr. Marsh replied in the negative. The constable was
satisfied with his promise to appear.
Sir CHAPMAN—And what right had the conductor to
demand Is. from Battle-bridge when it is the constant
practice to demand no more than 6d. from Paddington,
which is much more than twice the distance ?

The Conductor—We always charge Is. on Sunday from
Battlebridge. I. am obliged to do it, and nobody refused
but this gentleman.
Mr. Hobler—He is perfectly right in resisting such an
imposition. You watch for a shower of rain, and then im-
mediately charge double fare for going half or a quarter the
distance.

Several gentlemen here said that they never paid more
than 6d. from Battlebridge to the City, and that they never
should.

Mr. Hobler stated that the Act of Parliament directed
that the owners of vehicles of the kind should not charge
more than their accustomed fare.

A gentleman said that Mr. Shillibeer, to whom the pub-
lic were so much indebted for fixing the price, never took
advantage of 'particular days or weather to increase his
charges.

The defendant was then discharged. He stated that
he should uniformly resist impositions of the kind as a
public duty, and be hoped be should not be obliged to ap-
pear again at the Mansion House on such a charge.
Sir CHAPMAN said that if the defendant was sujected to
any inconvenience by the conduct of the fellows who at-
tended omnibuses a remedy was to be found in a court of
law against their masters.

man, and had driven for Sir V. Gibbs, and had jobbed for
nine years with Mr. Jones, of Russell-square.
Mr. CHAMBERS said if the prisoner had been employed
by Mr. Jones such a length of time, that was a sufficient
recommendation, and therefore he should not keep him
another day in custody.
Mr. CHAMBERS then gave some advice to Mr. Crowley
as to the steps he was to take at the Bank of England, and
then discharged the prisoner.

Inspector Abrahams asked Mr. Chambers whether he
thought the police had done their duty in the matter, as he
intended to lay the circumstance before the commissioners.
Mr. CHAMBERS was of opinion that the police had done
their duty..

John Johnson was charged with having committed a va.
riety of offences.

Mr. Sidney Adcock, jeweller, Dean-street; said the pri-
soner was an engraver and enameller, and having some
knowledge of him, he was induced some tit-iv-ago to lend
him 2/. to redeem his tools. Shortly after this the prisoner
obtained .5/. worth of jewellery, under pretence of selling
some of the articles to a gentleman named Gosling, living
at Kilburn. The prisoner informed prosecutor that he had
left the jewellery with Mr. Gosling, and that a check would
shortly be sent for the amount. Some time afterwards he
toll prosecutor that Mr. Gosling had died, but he had re-
membered him (prosecutor) in his will. A pair of gold
lockets was afterwards missed, and ,on questioning the pri-
soner, who worked at the shop, he, said he had taken them
and had left them with. Mr. Jepp, jeweller, of Bond-street,
on approbation. After this the prisoner obtained a pair of
pearl tops, with ruby centres, to show, as he said, to a lady
who wished to purchase such articles. Prosecutor's suspi-
cions having been aroused,.he made inquiries, and discovered
that the prisoner had been deceiving him with a tissue of
false-hoods. Having told the prisoner what he had found
out, the prisoner admitted having pawned the lockets, and
promised to restore the duplicates upon condition of being
forgiven and taken again into employ. This proposal pro-
secutor refused to accede to, and having accidentally dis-
covered that the prisoner had gone to the shop of Mr.
Mills, silversmith, Oxford-street, and obtained a watch in
his name, he returned back immediately and gave the pri-
soner into the custody of a policeman. He (prosecutor)
had also discovered that the prisoner had taken a silver
spoon from his shop, and pawned it for eighteen pence.
The prisoner asked to have the case remanded, in order,
as he said, to give him time to make a proper defence.
Mr. CHAMBERS-Why not tell us now, and account for
your proceedings ? By a " proper defence" I suppose you
mean what you'll learn to say from the inmates of the gaol ?
The prisoner said he wanted legal assistance ; and he was
accordingly remanded for a few days.

QUEEN-SQUARiE
Yesterday Matthew Hale, the informer, was brought up
in custody before Mr. BURRELL, charged with extorting
money under the following circumstances
Thomas Evans, a drayman in the employ of Messrs. Tru-
man and Hanbury, stated that the week before last he was
driving one of his masters' drays, and was riding on the
shafts ; the prisoner saw him and told him that he must
settle it. He stood some gin, which he thought sufficient,
but that would not do, and the prisoner desired him to call
at his house and settle it. Yesterday morning he called at
the prisoner's, No. 3, Cottage-place, Bird-street, West-
square, Lambeth, having previously marked four half-
crowns. Witness sent out for something to drink, and of-
fered the prisoner the money, who refused to receive it in
his hand, and told him to leave it, and go on. Witness
placed it by the window near a geranium plant, and re-
marked, that some person might put their hand in and steal
the money ; they prisoner replied there was no fear of that ;
he then went and got a policeman, who took him into cus-
tody, and he found the half-crowns on his person.
On being questioned, he said that he had spoken to the
policeman before he went to the prisoner's house.
Mr. BURRELL said that he did not think a clear case had
been made out under all the circumstances, and discharged
the prisoner.
The police-constable who apprehended the prisoner said,
that he was in the constant habit of getting money in this
manner, and wished to know what he should do with the
half-crowns found on the prisoner.
Mr. BURRELL asked whom the money belonged to.
Evans said it was the money which he had marked, and
he could swear to it.

Mr. BURRELL then directed the money to be given up to

W OR SHIP- STREET.

A charge of robbery was yesterday brought before the
sitting Magistrate, Mr. BROUGHTON, which created con-
siderable interest. An elderly man, named William Evans,
whose connections are highly respectable, was charged with
stealing a sovereign under the following circumstances :
Mr. Samuel Lane, a respectable publican in Shoreditch,
stated that a gentleman called upon him the day before re-
questing change for a sovereign. Witness asked him to
sit down, and went into the back parlour for the silver, but
finding he had none he handed the sovereign back to his
wife, desiring her to return it to the gentleman. At that
moment the prisoner made his appearance at the bar,
when, thinking he was the person waiting for the change,
she gave it to him, telling him she had not silver, upon
which he walked out of the room.

Mrs. Lane said she had known the prisoner, who re-
sided in the Kingsland-road, for the last nine months, and
said that when she gave him the sovereign she told him
she could not change it. He said, in reply, " Can't you ?"
and took it from her. In a few moments after the " real
gentleman" came to the counter. She said to him (think-
ing he wanted something to drink), " Can I do any-
thing for you, Sir ?" "0, yes," replied the gentleman, " I
am waiting for my change for the sovereign." Witness
having recovered herself from the sudden surprise of
having made the mistake, and the extraordinary conduct of
the prisoner, she ran after him, and sueveded in overtaking
him. On her accusing him of having taken the sovereign,
he replied, to her great astonishment, that he had not been
in her house at all.

Mr. Lane—l told, him, when I gave him into custody,
that if he would give up the sovereign there would be an
end of the matter. He, however, repeated, "It was not me."
Police Constable 4) N—He told me that he had not
been in Mr. Lane's house for the last six months.
Mr. BROUGIITON (to the prisoner)—What have you
now to say for yourself? Prisoner—Why this has wounded
my feelings so much that I have suffered a martyrdom.
The fact is I was .drunk at the time.

I have no doubt ' you intended to take it. My opinion
is that it is a felony.--I hope not. It was put into my
hands bona fide as mine, and at a time I was not in com-
mand of my proper senses.
Mr. BROUGHTON—I shall send you for trial, and leave
the case to a Jury.
Mr. Lane—Really I have no wish to prosecute. If I
do it will be the death of his wife.
Mr. BROUGHTON—I can't help it.

The prisoner was fully committed to Newgate.
A FRAUD.--William Wittingham, a youth about sixteen
years of age, was charged with obtaining a sovereign under
false pretences.

Susan Parker, servant to a lady named Dallas, at Tot-
tenham, said she was well acquainted with the prisoner's
mother, who was a poor, but industrious woman, living in
Cox's-court, Aldersgate-street. On Friday last the priso-
ner brought her a letter from her, stating at the same time
that she was very ill, and in great distress. Witness having
read the letter, the purport of which was to borrow a sove-
reign, she gave it to him, and also 6d., advising him to be a
good boy, and make haste home. On subsequently calling
upon his mother, she found she had been defrauded of the
money.
Sarah Wittingham, the mother, declared she had not
written the letter, that she was not ill, nor in distress, and
that she had not had the sovereign ; in consequence of
which she gave him into custody.
The prisoner, in his defence, said he had not victuals
enough to eat.
The mother (in tears)—That's false, your Worship ; he
has the best I can afford, and plenty of it. Unfortunately
I have lost all control over him now. He won't even tell
me the name of his master he works for, or where he lives.
Mr. BROUGHTON (to the prisoner)—This is a sad case,
boy, to be prosecuted by your own mother. She has a right
to protect herself, or you will soon bring her to ruin.
The prisoner was rally committed to. Nenato for trial.

HAMBURG PAPERS.

BERLIN, AUG. 17.—The departure of his Majesty the
King on his journey to East Prussia is fixed for the 23d ;
but his Majesty intends to be again in Berlin on the 10th
of September. The inhabitants of East Prussia will be
highly rejoiced by his Majesty's visit.
RIGA, Ave. 12.—The smoke which has for some days
covered oar city and neighbourhood is ascribed to great
fires in the forests, which, according to the accounts of the
country people, are burning about Zarniekau, Allarch,
Roop, and Olai.
On the news of a fire in the forest not far from our city,
the most prompt measures have been ordered to avert the
danger from us. One hundred peasants are digging a
deep ditch, and military detachments Are stationed in the
vicinity of the fire, which we are happy to say is nearly
extinguished,
The last number of the journal of Courland and. Livonia
gives an account of a fire in a peat-moor, caused by the
long drought. Thousands of people were employed in
digging ditches to arrest its progress, but it frequently h ap-
pens that the moor behind them begins to burn, the fire
rising from the earth having probably spread at a lower
depth than the bottom of the ditches. 'The drought has
done irreparable damage to the crops of every description in
Couiland. Streams that never before were dried up are
now who2ly without water, so that very few mills are able
to work, and in some parts people must take their corn 30
English miles t' get it ground. There has been no rain of
any consequence since th e spring. If any fell, it was
and wind soon dried it up. Many
soon after, mid the su•
p:pughed, the ground being as hard
fallow lands cannot be
as a
rock. We have /similar gloomy accounts from
Livonia and Esthonia. For A few days past we bave had
some refreshing showers, but In:happily too late for the
summer crops.
HAMBURG, AUG. 20.—The last of the Spanish refugees
(33 officers and 8 servants) left Cuxhaven on the 15th, on
board the Anna Maria, Captain Freirs, which they hat.l
freighted, having on the same morning received news by
the London steam-boat. The ship is bound for Ports-
mouth, and has provisions for 12 days.
ST. PETEasimuult, AUG. 16.—His Highness Prince
Lieven, tutor of his Imperial Highness the Crown Prince,
has arrived here with his family.
The Crown Prince and Princess of Prussia embarked on
the 13th, at Peterhoff for Cronstadt, on board the Alexan-
dra steam-boat, accompanied by their Imperial Majesties,
', on their arrival, went with them on board the Ischora
'at, which was to convey them to Stettin. After a

cruise in the ,altie, to exercise the crews, has been de-
tained for a fortnight by contrary winds in the narrow chan-
nel before Tullg,am, where it was visited by the Crowa
Prince and Princess. It has at length been able to sail.
The Council which was to meet on Saturday, and which
was expected to decide on the sale of Captain Lindeberg,
was put off.
Her Majesty has sent 25,000 dollars to Gottenburg, to
provide for the most urgent wants, and 6,0001b5. of great 3
for soup, to be divided into 48,000 portions. The cholera
has broken out in Wenersburg and Boras, and in some ves-
sels
near Carlsbad and Christian Lauzen, which come from
Gottenburg. Private letters say, that .5,000 of the inhabi-
tants have left Gottenburg. The Board of Trade has de-
clared London and the places on the banks of the Thames,
from London to the mouth of the Thames, to be infested
with cholera.

The Gottenburg Journal of the 16th, received at Ham-
burg to-day, the 21st, agree with the public opinion there,
that the reports of the cholera having been brought thither
by sea are mere idle talk. The ship from Cadiz (which
place is quite healthy) which was said to have brought the
disorder, did not arrive till three cases of sudden death had.
already occurred, and the reports respecting other ship;
were also refuted. The Board of Health had communicated
to the Governor the declaration of the physicians that the
disorder was beginning to change to typhus and nervous fever.
But, on the 15th, 140 corpses were buried, and hundreds
still remain uninterred for want of graves. It was also re-
ported that, since the 9th, 30 persons had died of cholera
at Jonkoping. The able physician, Dr. Ouchterlony, who
was sent from Stockholm to Gottenburg, has been taken
ill on the journey, at Mariestad. The number of deaths in
Gottenburg and the neighbourhood was 1,255.
BORSEN..HALLE, AUG. 22.—About 150 lasts of wheat
have been taken out of the warehouses within the last few
days, having been bought at seventy-eight rix-dollars for
the Portuguese market. Owing to the shallow state of the
river, we have had no arrivals from the interior. Rye con-
tinues firm, owing to a short supply ; barley and oats tole-
rably firm ; rape and linseed cakes would command the
quotations.
From the 9th to the 15th inst. nineteen cargoes of corn
passed the Sound ; three 'were bound for England, one for
Holland, six for Russia, eight for Norway, and one for
Denmark.

HELVETIC DIET.-NINETEENTH SITTING.

ZURICH, AUG. 15.—M. Spreecher, Deputy of the Grisons,
proposed that before the end of the year the Diet should de-
cree the creation of a Federal Council, to replace the Vororts,
as the Executive, during the recess of the Diet. " The country
(said he) is full of inflammable materials at this moment, and
consequently those to be entrusted with the Government ought
to inspire the greatest confidence and security. Unfortunately
the state of Berne, which will be Vorort next year, does not
inspire this confidence. The circular of May 21, relative to
the Poles, the attitude assumed by it towards the diplomatic
agents of the great Powers here, nre proofs of ita spirit, and
sufficiently bespeak the necessity of placing the supreme Go-
vernment of the country in other hands. Besides (said the
Deputy), the system of Vororts is a bad one; they are irre-
sponsible ; elected by the Canton for its own government ; it
must neglect the general or the Cantonnal Government, most
probably the former. The appointment of a Federal Council
would remedy this evil, and would restore confidence to the
Constitutional Governments, who are alarmed at the prospect
of being led by Berne."
The Deputy for Berne replied, that it would not be difficult
to refute the attack made upon his Canton. But that Berne
really made it too little a point to preserve the Vorortship, to
allow him to descend to serious refutation. He considered
the superior direction of Federal affairs to be a charge and a
duty rather than as an advantage at present. As to the atti-
tude assumed by Berne towards foreign diplomatists, it was
that worthy of a free and independent nation. Viewing the
question in a general light, the Member for Berne objected to
the proposal, as he could recognise only one efficient mode of
reforming the Pact of 1815 ; this was to change it altogether,
and call primary assemblies together to elect a Convention, or
Constituante.

Cas. Pfyffer, Deputy of Lucerne, opposed the proposal of
the Grisons, which was supported only by the Cantons of
Schaffhausen, Argovic, and Vaud, and even by them only in
hostility to the system of Vororts; not in mistrust of Berne.
The retrograde Cantons oppose the proposition, because they
wish to preserve unaltered the Pact of 1315.
The Deputy of the Grisons, finding himself abandoned,
made a second proposition, to the effect that the powers of
the Vorort should be precisely stated and limited by the Diet,
and that the three Canton-Vororts should control the Direc-
tory; not the Great Council. Fifteen States and a half vote
that this proposition be referred, ad instruendunt, for the fol-
lowing year.
AUG. 16.—The Committee charged with the revision of the
Federal Pact, has terminated its sittings ; it only held three,
and could come to no decision. Five Cantons refuse to take
part in any plan of representation, that has not population for
its base. So that in the first sitting, Zurich, St. Gall, Argo-
vie, Lucerne, and Thurgovie, found themselves in direct op-
position with Glacis, Zug, Schaffhausen, Friburg, the:G.6-
sons, Soleure, Vaud, and Geneva. There were few hopes of
a commission, in which the five great Cantons were on one
side, with the eight little ones paralyzing them on the other,
whilst Berne I:fuses to take any part at all in the attempt.
Berne has named Professors the three chief Radicals in
Switzerland, M. Troxler to a philosophical chair; Messrs. Snell
and Siebenpfeiffer to chairs of law.

HELVETIC DIET.-20Th SITTING—Ara. 18.
The Chancellor read a petition from a number of Swiss,
chiefly from Vaud and Neufchatel, resident in Paris, demand..
ing, Ist, the recall of M. Grelet ( Swiss envoy at Brussels,) for
a long time absent from his post ; 2dly, that of M. D'Effinguer
(envoy at Vienna), whose opinions are notably at variance
with the present liberal Government; idly, that of M. Mar-
cacci ( Swiss consul general at Milan.) In support of this peti-
tion, the Deputy for Berne rose to demand, in the name of his
canton, the recall of M. d'Effinguer, and of M. Tscham (envoy
at Paris.) These men, said he, belonging to the ancient aris-
tocracy, that has been overthrown, represent no longer the in-
terests of Switzerland, but of a fallen party. Berne has
found ample proofs in the archives of the ancient se-
cret council, how deeply the Swiss diplomatists were impli-
cated in foreign intrigues and manoeuvres. What Switzerland
wants is new, upright men, attached to the present system,
and able to defend it. M. Pfyffer, of Lucerne, added, that
after a revolution diplomatic agents must necessarily be
changed, if the Government which succeeds that revolution bo
sincere. The other deputies opposed the proposition, as not
based on facts proving incapacity or unworthiness. The seve-
ral envoys are therefore renominated to their posts. Consuls
are also appointed by the diet, at Rio, Buenos Ayres, and
Brussels.

21ST SITTING, AVG. 19.

This sitting was entirely devoted to commercial concerns
and duties in the interior.
A concordat, proposed in the hope of recovering the right
of transit through qermany, could not obtain a majority.
Berne opposed it. The next sitting will be devoted to thu
same subject.

A fine young man, about twenty-five years of age,
1, ame unknown, was killed yesterday morning in Oxford-street,
in cn attemptlo step a horse and cab that was running away,
A,l,out six o'clock on Saturday afternoon a fine
little boy; son of Mr. William Johnson, Whitmore-road, an.
ton, in atteOPting to clamber into one of his father's waggon,
driven into the yard, unfortunately fell out, and
was taken up, crushed almost flat. The

was of no avail, as the chfi.d died within a few minutes after
his arrival. On examining the injury, Mr. Town was of
opinion that the wheel of the waggon) front the directiog
which it took across the poor child's body, must have awed
the heart to burst.
