day in the Market for Public Securities, but sales s
having preponderated the tendency of prices has
been unfavourable, and the recent improvement has ss

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) I B'

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A SAD CASIL—Mary Ann Goodchild, of 5, Little Crown- I
court, Soho, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, on a war- s
rant, as follows : t
Jesse Goodchild, the husband of the defendant, keeping et
a broker's shop as above, said that his wife for some past si
had given herself up to most dissipated habits. A few days RI
ago she, after threatening she would cut his throat, seized
a knife, and swore she would run it into his bowels. She
had twice before stabbed him with a knife, and once cut his s'
head open with a hammer. He was in a good business, Ev
but she was in the habit of coming into the shop and taking
out things and selling them for drink.
The warrant officer who took the defendant into custody
said he found her lying on the bed helplessly drunk, with
a bottle containing spirits in her pocket.
The husband said it was a dreadful thing for his little
'thing for them was to have
family to havhettsuscahiaathmeobtheesrt
Mr. Tyrw
her away from them, and with that view he should order
her to find two respectable housekeepers to be sureties for
her good behaviour for six months.
The required sureties not being forthcoming the defen-
dant was locked up.

MR. JOHN WATKINS, the eminent ph otOgraphis
t,
of Parliament-street (by the way, the oldestphotographic
rooms in England, and perhaps the best), was
a commission from the Queen to take several portraits
the Prince of Wales, a day or two prior to his departure for
Canada. He had also the honour to obtain sittings from
the Duke of Newcastle, General Bruce, Captain Grey, and
others, who are the companions of his Royal Highness on
this interesting and
practically
h useful voyage to our great
These portraits may be seen at the
rooms of the artist ; they are certainly among the best that
American colony.
have been taken; but there are few of the profession who
are so successful as Mr. Watkins, in combining accuracy of
likeness with the artistic thought and manipulative skill
that preserve what is agreeable and "abate" what is other-
wise. This has been the result of long practice ; his por-
traits are counted by thousands, including peers, pre-
lates, statesmen, judges, officers of both services, cler en,
members of all learned professions, artists, and men ofet-
ters—nearly all the leading artists being in his printed list,
togetker with a large number of authors. His powers,
however, have been far more severely tested : to men ft
matters little that the actual is more conspicuous than the
possible ; not so with women, where, to sacrifice a grace, is
an offence against nature, and to lose a beauty, and perpe_
tuate a blemish, is to commit a crime. Few can bear the
trial of the photograph without peril ; but certainly Air.
Watkins can, if any one can, make a plain woman content,
and a handsome woman pleased, with the semblance of
what she actually and at the moment is. No doubt there
is, as there ought to be, some " after-touching " always ;
but —by what means obtained wo cannot say the
" beauties" in Mr. Watkins's gallery are beauties, although
photography has "given the world the copy."—Art Journal
for August, 1859.

At the Bankruptcy Court yesterday adjudication
was made against James Denny Chapman, warehouseman
and draper, of Alderraanbury and of Whitechapel. The
bankrupt, who owes £lO,OOO, has absconded, and a reward
has been offered for his apprehension.
