PGLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

VIOLENT ASSAULT. -11 f ichael Berkley, a costermonger,
was charged with violently assaulting James Philpot.
The complainant stated that he was lodging at the
Tap of the Three Tuna, Aldersgate, and that last night,
between 9 and 10 o'clock, he heard the prisoner and the
potman:quarrelling. Ile went'out to request them to
desist, and told the prisoner to hold his tongue, and
complainant went between them to prevent them fight-
ing. He left and fetched a policeman, on which pri-
soner ran after him, and struck him a violent blow in
the mouth, cutting his lip open.
The prisoner excused his conduct by saying that he
was drunk at the time, and had now no recollection of
what occurred. He was sorry for what he had done,
and humbly begged the complainant's pardon.

The Lord Mayor—That's all very well. You appear
to be a dangerous man when drunk. Is the prisoner
known ? has he been here before

Partridge (gaoler)—Yes, my lord ; about 12 months
since be had three months for breaking open a man's
head. He is well known to the police in Bishomate-
street.

Prisoner said be was never charged before in his life.
The last witness was mistaken.

The Lord Mayor—l shall remand, you for inquiries
to be made.

He fined them 20s. each, and he was rather stretching
the law in doing so, because the act directed that he
should levy a penalty not less than the duty and value
of the tobacco, which amounted to 31,. 13s. 6.1.

HOCUSSING AND ROBBERY..— llfary Ann Brown, a
young woman, notorious for robbing sailors, and who
has been often in custody, •vas charged with hocussing
and plundering a seaman named Henry White. It
appeared that the sail r w is discharged from his ship
about 10 days ago, and eh, )rtly afterwards fell in with
the prisoner who invited hi n to her lodgin;s, where he
remained with her for a few hours and left his waistcoat
behind him, promising to call for it again and give her
some money. He went to her dwelling, No. 11, Henry-
street, St. George's-insthe-eAst, again on Friday and re-
deemed his waistcoat. After giving her some money she
invited him to have something to drink, and sent out fur
liqeor, into which she no doubt infused some narcotic
drug, for directly he had partaken of a glass of it he be-
eatuestupefied. Oa recovering hissonses he found himself
alone in the prisoner's room and missed the whole of
his money, consisting of a Si. Bank of England note,
a half-sovereign, and B'. silver. He went cut in
search of the prisoner, and gave information to the
police. Tester:lay afternoon -Kemp, a police-conetahle,
No. 201 11, met with the prisoner and took her into
custody. She denied all knowledge of the robbery,
and said that a loafer (thief) picked up the sailor it\
Whitechapel and stole his money.
The prisoner, in defence, said she was innocent, and
had never seen any of the sailor's money.
Mr. Yardley—l shall commit you for trial.

The prisoner—The sailor was very drunk, and broke
a lot of my things on Friday.
Mr. Yardley—That is no reason you should rob him.
You are committed.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OP THE Hoer. CAPTAIN
GRATES, R.N.—MALTA, Aug. 27.—Shortly after noon
on the 25th of August, whilst this much respected indi-
vidual was entering a calesse in the Strada Reale, to
embark for England in the Ave, on leave, he received
two stabs in the stomach from a Maltese boatman, whose
motive for attempting his life was a supposed injustice
at the hands of Captain Graves, who holds the office of
superintendent of the ports of Malta. No serious con-
sequences are apprehended, as no vital part seems to
have been injured. The miscreant was immediately
arrested.

A RARE! BIRD.—An addition of great interest to orni-
thologists has bean this week made, through the libera-
lity of her Majesty, to the collection of birds in the Zoo.
logical Gardens. A large and brilliantly-coloured species
of turkey (Meleagria ocellata) has been known for rainy
years to inhabit the vicinity of Lake Peten, near the con
fines of the provinces of Vera PAZ and Bsliz►, Central
America; but so rare is even the skin of the bird in this
country, that a stuffed specimen is valued by dealers at
about 40 gumes.e. The late Earl of D rby, who was most
zealous in his endeavours to improve the breeds of birds
likely to be serviceable for food, went to the expet.se of
sending collectors out to Honduras, almost solely wit's
the view of procuring living specimens of this turkey,
for his aviary at Knowsley. For nearly 20 years his lord-
ship looked forward to the gratification of possessing the
species, but all attempts to bring it alive to England
failed. This, we are happy to announce, has at length
been accomplished by Mr. Skinner, the well-known
collector of orchideous plants of Guatema'a, assisted
by Capt. Wilson, of the West India mail packet Parana.
Mrs. Stevenson, the lady of H.M. Superintendent of
Belize, possessed a fine cock ocellated turkey and two
hens, which she was desirous of presenting to the Queen,
and Mr. Skinner undertook the delicate task of bringing
them to England. By feeding them with great care dur-
ing the voyage, ;and constantly bathing the head to re-
lieve the eyes of a mucous discharge, and through being
furnished, thanks to Capt. Wilson, with plenty of room
and air, the turkeys reached England on Monday last in
tolerable health. Immediately on their arrival being com-
municated to the Queen, her Majesty commanded them
to he presented, for the gratification of the public, to the
Zoological Society ; and they may be seen in the aviary,
on the left of the entrance to the gardens, near the peli-
cans and flamingoes. They are taller, thinner, and more
erect than the common turkey, with the plumage marked,
with iridescent peacock-like eyes, the legs being pink and
the head of a peculiar soft clear grey blue, crested with
clear, bright orange warts.—Literary Gazette.
A MEMORIAL FOR FRANKLIN.—Among the several
advocates for monuments to the memory of Wallace,
Cromwell, and other celebrated men of past ages, we
hear not a word breathed in regard to a monument in
memory of Sir John Franklin and his followers, the
heroes of Arctic history, who have perished in executing
the mission assigned to them by this country of explor-
ing the frozen channel and icy wastes of the Polar re-
gions. Franklin's successors—the gallant men who
were sent to prosecute the search for their missing coun-
trymen, and many of whom made important discoveries
within the Arctic circle, setting at rest the long-dis-
puted question of a North-west passage—have been pro-
moted, decorated, and rewarded. Dr. Rae and hie party
have received the liberal guerdon offered for tidings of
the fate of Franklin's party. Mr. John Barrow has
received, and very justly, a mark of respect from the
Arctic voyagers, for his zealous and long-continued
exertions in the cause of Arctic) exploration. Lieut.
Bellot, the young ,French officer, who lost his life in
his zeal as a volunteer, has had his memory recorded
at Greenwich Hospital. Surely, then, it is but
right that the hero end martyr of the Arctic region—
Franklin, and his 133 followere, should have some suit-
able record of their services and fate erected at their
country's expense. When thousands have been spent,
in the last few years, on that ignis fatuus—the North-
West passage—a few hundred, at least, might he de-
voted to record the names of the gallant me❑ who have
been sacrificed at the shrine of duty. The few recovered
relics of the famished party are preserved in the Hall of
Greenwich Hospital ; let, then, a fitting monument be
also raised there, in Trafalgar-square, or in some other
suitable locality in the metropolis. Justice to these
naval heroes demands that a national tribute to their
memory should be raised ; and it would be a graceful
mark of respect to the noble widowed lady who has done
so much and spent so much herself in prosecuting the
search for so many years. There will be no lack of de-
signs for snob a memorial. The locality, the subject, and
the graphic features of Arctic scenery will afford abun-
dant scope for ingenuity of design and tasteful execu-
tion. Let it not be a reflection on the British nation
that noble services and enduring surveying labours,
'perseveringly prosecuted even unto death, can find no
lading record among as,--Building Nom.
