ABANDONMENT OF THE EXPEDITION

TO NAPLES.

We regret to hear a report, generally current in well.
informed circles, that the joint expedition of the English
and French fleets to Naples has been abandoned under
the impression produced by the recent Note of Russia.
No intelligence has yet reached the Foreign-office con-
veying any assurance that the King of Naples will
abandon his position. This resolve of the Allies, there-
fore, to abstain from active interposition amounts to a
confession that matters must be left in statu (no in the
dominions of the King of the Two Sicilies.—ilforning
Chronicle.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
ROBBERY BY A MASTER BRICKLAYER.—Robt. Wilmott,
a master bricklayer, residing at No. 37, Tonbridge-street,
New-road, and Patrick Murray, a labourer, were brought
before Mr. Bingham charged with stealing a quantity
of old metal and other articles, the property of Mr.
Alfred Roper, a builder.

Mr. Roper stated that he was contractor for the re-
pairs at No. 28, Prince's•street, Soho, and he let a por-
tion of that contract to the prisoner Wilmott, the latter
supplying the labour and prosecutor the materials. The
old metal, nails, three hods of mortar, and other articles
were his property, and had been removed from the pre-
mises in Prince's-street.

George Appleton said be was employed by the pro-
secutor to watch the premises in Prince's street, and this
morning, about eight o'clock he saw the prisoners load-
ing a truck, and Murray went away with it, and took it
to Wilmott's house, whers he unloaded the articles pro-
duced. Mr. Roper then came up and identified the
property, and gave the prisoner into custody. The
prisoner Murray, on the way to the station, said Wil
mott had ordered him to take the things to his house.
Wilmott, in defence, said he did not think he was
doing harm in taking the things.
Mr. Bingham fined him 15/. for the unlawful posses-
sion. The other prisoner he should fine 205., or 21
days, he having acted under the orders of the other
man.

ROBBERIES BY A WORKMAN.— Valentinei Z embra, an
Italian, aged 29, late in the employ of Mr. Barnett
Moss, looking-glass and picture-frame maker, in Leman-
street, Whitechapel, was brought before Mr. Selfe, on
remand, charged with stealing a variety of property
from his master's workshop.
The prisoner had been in the employ of Mr. Moss for
some years, and in the course of that time veneered
looking-glass frames and other goods had been continu-
ally missed. A few days since Mr. Hall, foreman to the
prosecutor, in passing the shop of Mr. Antonio Bianca,
in Shoreditch, saw one of his master's large circular dress
looking-glass frames exposed for sale there. He went
into the shop and spoko to Mr. Bianca, and in conse-
quence of what lin Muted the prisoner was given into
custody. Mr. Bianca said, in his evidence, that the
prisoner called upon him and said be was no longs'
working for Mr. Moss, and made up frames on his own
account, and, producing a small circular model frame,
said he had some large ones of the same pattern to sell.
Mr. Bianca agreed to purchase two large veneered
frames with stands complete, and the prisoner brought
one to his house on the 30th of June and the other on
the 18th of August, and Mr. Bianca gave 21s. for the
first and 20s. for the second, which it was agreed was
tolerably fair price. Mr. Moss and his foreman identi•
fled the frame and stand, to which Mr. Bianca had added
a dress looking glass, and produced another from their
workshop of precisely the samepattern and made of the
same wood. Mr. Bianca had disposed of the first frame
he bought of the prisoner. It was of the same pattern
as the other, and must have been stolen from Mr. Mosie
fictory, for none of that pattern had been manufactured
by any other frame-maker. The prisoner bad also sold
a circular frame to Mr. Farnham, of the City-road►
which was produced and identified by Mr. Mosey
Mr. Farnham had purchased it in a hurry►
one morning while his horse and chaise was waiting at
his door to convoy him to his country residence. The
prisoner one day informed Mr. Bianca, that he sold the
smaller sized frames as fast as he could make them, t°
Mr. Farnham and Mr. Towers, but no otherS
could be traced. It was proved that the prisoner bad
not been away from the prosecutor's workshop for two
years, and that he could not have made up the trainee
at home. A large quantity of tools belonging to the
workmen in the employ of Mr. Moss had been stolen,
and a plane, which the prisoner had pawned in Church-
street, Spitalfields, was owned by Edwin Owen Samr
ders. There were other charges against the prisoners
who was in the receipt of good wages, and an excellent
workman, but he bad pursued a long career of vice and
plunder, and had distressed his fellow-workmen.
Mr. Selfe committed the prisoner, for trial on three
charges of felony, and he lett the dock protesting in the
face of positive evidence that he had made up his owls
wood and that the plane was his own.
