POLICE INT ELLIG-IENC Ifl.—,Tune 12.

BO W-STREET.—A ticket-of-leave man, named John
Finn, was charged, in conjunctiou with Henry Farley
and Ann, T«ylor, a prostitute, with being concerned in
several burglaries. An old woman, named Hamilton,
the mother of Taylor, was also apprehended, and subse-
quently admitted as a witness fpr the Crown.
About a fortnight ago the male prisoners were ob-
served loitering about Castle-street, Long-acre, in a
mintier which induced police.constabie Holmes, F 50,
to watch their movements. He saw them beckon to the
old woman, who was approaching them with a bundle,
but, suddeely observing the officer, the male prisoners
turned round and' disappeared. The constable went up
to the old woman, and, finding two frock coats in her
possession, conducted her to the police-station. He saw
the girl Taylor in the neighbourhood at the same time,
but she also disappeared on seeing the constable. , The
old woman, on being brought before the magistrate,
stated that "Jack" (meaning Finn) was living with her
daughter, and that they had brought home the two
coats, with a quantity of faller property, about day-
break 'that morning. They desired her to bring
some of the things to Broker's-alley, and made her
do it by intimidation. Toe police searched the room
where they had been all three living together in
King-street, Lenp,,acre, and found a quantity of
wearing apparel and other property, some of which
was identified as part of the produce of a burglary
committed at the house of Mr. W. Hammond, 3, Rus
sell-square, during the previous night—the remainder
being the produce of other burglaries—including one at
the Dispensing-house at Kensington, from which a quan-
tity of clothing belonging to Mr. Beresferd, the resident
surgeon, a case of medical instrument., the dining room
curtains, &c., were stolen, the whole being found in
Taylor's room excepting a set of spoons and a pair of
boots, which the prison-r had pledged. Farley became
implicated by the statement of the principal witness re-
specting his share in the consultations aid arrangements
with Finn and Taylor.
The prisoner Finn is a most desperate character. He
was only liberated on a ticket of leave on the 2.1 of May ;
and, within three weeks afterwards, he committed four
daring burglariel, besides nearly murdering a constable
who detected him breaking into a jeweller's shop. For
this latter offence he was committed from Worship-street,
at which court he was identified by Holmes, who saw
Farley there also.
Mr. Jardine, who directed these facts respecting Finn
to be repprted to the Home-office, committed the prisoner
Sor trial.

MARLBOROUGH. STREET. SHOCKING BAR-
iIkItITY--Tolvz Norton, a drover, was summoned before
Mr. Beadon, charged by the Royal Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, for cruelty to a bullock.
From the statement of Mr. Forster, the manager, sup-
ported.by the evidence of Sir Benjamin Hall's ♦alet and
footman, police-constable Griffiths, and a cabman, named
Saltfleet, it appeared that the bullock in question was
driven from the New Cattle Market, on the 2d inst.,
and when in Curzon-street ono of its hoofs was seen to
drop off. The animal, although evidently suffering in-
tense agony. was driven forward until it fell down oppo-
site Sir B. residence in Great Stanhope-street.
The sufferings of the animal attracted the attention of
Lady Hall, and a police-constable was soon apprised of
the occurrence. Several attempts were made t., pull the
animal on its legs with ropes, but they all failed. One of
the witnesses said he saw the eyes of the animal nearly
starting out of its head with the agony it endured from
one hoof being entirely off, and the other hanging by a
small piece of skin. It was found necessary to send for
a slaugbterman, and to kill the animal on the spot.
Mr. Beadon, being of opinion that great cruelty had
been committed, but that others were more culpable
than the defendant, adjourned the case to give time to
the society to get at the real culprits.

STATE OF TI:ADE.--Manche6ter, June 12.—The mar-
ket continues flat. Yarn gave way at the Blackburn
market yesterday about ld. per lb., and the prices of
most kinds of twist here are in favour of the buyer, with
a declining tendency. In the cloth market there is
some business doing for India and China, where sellers
are willing to accede to a decline, but the offers mostly
made are lower than can be accepted. Prices have a
declining tendency 41.3=94 kinds of fabrics.
