POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

BOW-STREET.

110BBERY AT THE A DELPHITLIEATItE.- Elizabetlt
a fashionably•dresaed woman, was placed at the tar,
charged with picking the pocket of a lady at the Adelphi
Theatre.

Fro:n the evidence of Polic.2-constable 62 F, it ap•
peared that on Wednesday night at about 11 o'clock,
he saw the prisoner leave the AdelpLi Theatre in treat
haste, but she afterwards returned and pushed through
the crowd, and there joined another female. On her
again quitting the theatre be followed her, and when she
had got nearly as far as Waterloo-bridge he distinctly
saw her throw a purse into the gutter. Having picked
up the purse he accused her of having committed a rob-
bery at the Adelphi Theatn, which she instantly denied.
He took hf.r to the station house, and on her pu.:4Qii was
found a gold watch, four gold rinF.!s, and some silver.
Tao prisoner ua,; not known at the address she gave at
the station house.

The lady from whose pocket the purse bad been taken
this morning attended and identified the purse, arid also
said she had some recollection of seeing the prisoner
while she was waiting for admission into the theatre.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial.

ROBBERY.—Ann Sikh, Louisa Harpur, and Lydia
Mayne were placed at the bar on remand, charged with
being concerned in a robbery of 551. in gold and bank
notes, at a beer•shop in High Holborn.
The prisoner Sitch was in the service of the prosecu-
tor, Mr. H. Whale, as servant of all-work. The money
was stolen from a cash box, which had been deposited in
one of the upper rooms of the house ; and it was proved
that Sitch had left the gold, consisting of thirty sove-
reigns, in the charge of Harpur, who again intrusted it
to Mayne, minus 3/., "having no place at her lodgings
to keep it in safety." Mayne employed a young man
named MPherson to take it back to Harpur, and this
messenger spent 71. of the amount, and returned (hunk.
The parcel at length found its way to a third woman in
Seven-dials, who gave up the money, now reduced to
201., to the police-officers, Franklin and Holmes, of the
F division, who bad been watching the movements of
Sitch from the time of the robbery, 'and had seen her
visit the other prisoners, who were laundresses, at their
respective homes. The four Si. bank notes, and a cheque
for 51., making up the remainder of the amount stolen,
were burnt; and, as the numbers of the notes had not
been preserved by the prosecutor, the money was lost.
In answer to the charge the prisoner Mayne this morn-
ing admitted finding the money, and she also said that,
on going to Harpur's residence, ehe informed her with-
out the money was given up or the papers burned, they
would all be sent to prison.
All three prisoners were fully committed for trial.

BXTEIIATE AND C IA.TBRIDGE.

It is proposed to construct a line of railway from Bath.
gate, via Airdrie, to (Joao:ridge, by Mr. Johnstone, the
en queer, cost of 130,0001., including,workingstock.
He estimates th t',e mineral traffic on the lire will yield
a revenue of 17,0941., and, deducting 7,0771., or 40 per
cent. for working expenses, the free revenue would
amount to 8 per cent. It is believed that 5Q per cent.
would be much nearer the expenses than 40 per cent.
The gradients aro represented to be favourable, the
steepest, being 1 in 70, rie•ceoding towards Coatbridge,
the destination of the gr,tatur portion of the traffic. At
a meeting recently held at, Airdrie of parties locally in-
terested, it was resolved t.,i.raise the capital in shares of
25/. each, and proceed w:th the undertaking.

NEW RAILWAY Bl.r vt, BEN CO LCHEST
AND GPAVPSEND.

A dinner vas given to Sir S. M. Peto, on Wednesday
ev-iiing, at the treat Yarmouth.
The hr n. baronet, in resporaliiig to the toast of his
heal b, which was drunk with three times three, referred
to the successful termination of the struggle to obtain an
act for the construction of a line from Yerniouth to Had-
cliscoe, which had chan,ed the character of the whole
East Suffolk scheme, and given it a command over the
district which it would not have otherwise possessed.
He also announced that he shou'd not let the undertak-
ing stop there. In connection with some other gentlemen
he was a lessee of the London, Tilbury, and Southend
line ; and those gentlemen, with many parties connected
with the County of Essex. had projected a perfectly direct
line from Gravesend to Colchester. The distance by this
line would he only 30 miles, and might be traversed in
an hour. The line would connect the eastern counties
with Dover and the neighbouring towns without going
to London at all, and the fares would be much lower
upon it. The lessees of the London, Tilbury, and South-
end found that when they accommodated the public by
cheap trains it paid them a great deal better than when
they charged larger fares ; and by the proposed line the
Colchester people would only pay ss. to go to London
instead of 12e. 63., which they paid at present. It would
also take people from Yarmouth to London and back for
265.; and he appealed to those who had assisted him in
the late struggle for the completion of the East Suffolk
system to help in the struggle which was yet to come.
He should not be satisfied till he had what was equiva-
lent to an independent line from Yarmouth to London,
if the Eastern Counties obstructed the East Suffolk traf•
fie between Woodbridge and Colchester; and he bad no
dotibt that a committee of both Houses of Parliament
could be convinced that another line was necessary for
the convenience of the public under such circumstances.
This scheme is of very great importance to the East-
ern Counties Company, as, if carried out, it will divert
all the Lowestoft, Yarmouth, and portions of the Nor-
folk, Suffolk, and Essex traffic from the present lines.
The project is therefore watched with lively interest in
the district.
