POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(T111.4 D-41%)

BOW-STREET.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Mary Ann Jones was this morn-
ing placed at the bar, in accordance with remand, charged
with attempting to commit suicide.

From the evidence of a witness named Long, it appeared
that the woman had resided with hilt') as his wife for the
last 18 years, and a more industrious or good-tempered
woman could not be found, but when she was laid hold of
by her drunken companions she became perfectly insane
from the effects of the drink she received. In one of these
drunken orgies she made a most desperate attempt at self-
destruction. At first sho appeared to have intended to
effect her object by strangulation, from the fact that a
picot) of cord was found fastened tightly round her neck,
but this not proving successful she cut her throat with a
razor, and then inflicted a deep cut across the upper part of
her arm. When she was discovered medical aid was pro-
cured, and she had been an inmate of an hospital since the
26th of August.

The magistrate said he found by the surgeon's certificate
that she was still in a very precarious state, and as he had
doubts of her being of perfectly sane mind, he should re-
mand her until she had undergone an examination by the
medical officers of the Strand Union.

The unfortunate woman was accordingly again remanded
or that purpose.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ANOTHER ASSAULT ON THE WITNESS FOR GIVING
EVIDENCE.—WiIIiam M'lntosh, a young man, described
as a painter, was charged, before Mr. Beadon, with as-
saulting a female, named Brown, living in Gart-street,
Soho, and working at Messrs. Crosse and Blackwell's,
Soho- square.

A woman named Myers, it may be remembered, was fined
20s. or 14 days, for an assault on the complainant, the only
provocation appearing to be that she had given evidence
at this court connected with a watch robbery.
The complainant now said that on the previous night as
she was passing along the street, the prisoner, who was
with six or seven others, called her a "lagging cow," and
then deliberately picked up a .stone and threw it at her,
striking her a severe blow on the leg.

Sorgeomt Smith ania c.O lao v. wa tcaLh.e, the piri,uuer Lulu
custoiy and to the station stones were thrown at him and
the complainant.

Mr. Beadon said it was very serious, and asked whether
anybody else saw the assault, and being informed that a
little girl had witnessed it, ho ordered her to be sent for.

The little girl attended and proved the assault.
Sergeant Smith said the girl was threatened outside the
court.

Sergeant Cole said he had several times lately heard the
female Brown threatened.

Mr. Beadon fined the prisoner 40s. or a month, and sail

if ho found the complainant was continually tormented he
would put on the heaviest fine, and if any person put a
finger on either the complainant or the little girl he would
commit them with hard labour for six months.

As the witnesses were leaving the court they were fol-
lowed and shouted at by a large crowd.

APPLICATION TO ESTREAT BAIL FOR ONE OP HEENAN'S
SECRETARIES —Sergeant Silverton, of the C Division,
applied to Mr. Beadon to estreat the bail put in by Mr.
Morris, proprietor of the New York Hotel, Leicester street,
Leicester-square, on behalf of George Robinson, who was
described as of the Round Table, St. Martin's-court, and
who was stated at the time to be acting as one of Heenan's
secretaries.

The Sergeant said that Robinson was charged on the
night of the 3d July with threatening to stab a civilian,
with being drunk, and also with tearing the uniform coat
of a constable named Smith, 72 C. He took Mr. Morris's
bail for Robinson's appearance at the court the next morn-
ing, but instead of his appearing he the same morning
started for America with Heenan. He believed Mr. Morris
had been induced by Heenan, who was then staying at his
hotel, to be bail for the man, and that he was not going to
leave England.
Mr. Beadon said Mr. Morris had no business to bail a
man he knew nothing about. It was for the Commis-
sioners of Police to decide whether the bail should be
estreated, and if so it would live to be done in the Court
of Exchequer.

THIS DAY'S MALLETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

To-day's market was again scantily supplied with home-
grown wheat, chiefly of the new crop, and in very middling
condition. The demand for both red and white qualities was
much restricted, at Monday's decline in the quotations.
The value of the new wheats ranged from 44s to 60s per
quarter.

There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on °for.
All kinds were a dull inquiry. In prices, however, no
change took place.

Floating cargoes of grain were a dull inquiry.
Barley was in moderate request, at previous currencies.
There was very little business doing in malt, at barely
stationary prices.

We have to report a dull inquiry for oats, and inferior
samples were somewhat lower to purchase.
Beans and peas moved off slowly, on former terms.
The flour trade was heavy, at Monday's fall in value.

enter into them. James Wilson is no more. Within

I a mouth from the death of Sir Henry Ward of
cholera, this second distinguishedadministrator has
perished in its merciless grasp. The telegram re-
ceived yesterday afternoon at the India House con-
tains only'the brief announcement of the event,
which occurred on the 11th ult., and of the fact that
the funeral, as is customary in the region of the
tropics, took place on the following day. The Exe-
cutive at Calcutta is thus deprived of its most vigo-
rous and versatile member, while the Executive at
Madras is mourning its energetic and experienced
chief. Losses like these may, and we trust will, in due
timebe repaired. but not easily or speedily. Faith
in the fertility of free institutions to furnish a succes •
sion of competent and courageous men to fill every
post, civil or military, which the rule of an empire
needs, forbids our doubting that the places now
lamentably vacated, may be filled up worthily from
the ranks of that class of self-made men to whom
Ward and Wilson belonged. But we know ton well
the influences that commonly sway the dispensa-
tion of patronage to feel too confident that the next
best men will be forthwith placed in the room of
those whose premature loss we deplore.
Mr. Wilson, as most of our readers are doubtless
aware, was the architect of his own political for-
ture. In trade, to which he devoted the earlier
years of his life, he was not successful ; and when
he began to turn his attention to statistical writing
for the daily and weekly press, he was almost
unknown to politicians so called. From the com•
meneement of the great controversy regarding the
abolition of protection to corn, sugar, and shipping,
he took an active part, but rather with his pen
than as a speaker. Nature had not, indeed, con-
ferred upon him any of the gifts that render a man
pleasing or impressive as an orator. Though al-
ways full of information, and capable of presenting
in lucid order a vast array of arithmetical facts, he
never was able to overcome a formality of expres-
sion and a monotony of tone which rendered his
best efforts better to read than to hear. While,
therefore, a useful ally to the Anti-corn Law
League, he rarely took any prominent part in their
public demonstrations. His principal share in the
free trade struggle was that borne in the pages of
the Economist, a journal established by him with
the aid of certain influential, persons in the Whig
party. Through the same influence he was enabled
to enter Parliament in 1847. His first speeches
were listened to with more of curiosity than appro-
bation, for he was too rigid a financial doctrinaire
to find favour with the Tory Opposition, still smart-
ing under their recent overthrow, and angry at the
defection of their great leader and his staff; and
there was nothing about the new member for West-
bury to propitiate the humour of the poco curante
and fastidious section that traditionally supported
a Whig Ministry. A short time, however, elapsed
before he contrived to show his aptitude for the
details of business ; and he was appointed by Lord
John Russell to one of the joint-secretaryships of
the Board of Control. Little was said or thought in
Parliament about India in those days. Lord Dal-
housie had been nominated Governor-General to
please his relative and patron the Duko of Welling-
ton; and had the errors and excesses of his policy
displayed themselves earlier than they actually did,
they would not have been severelycriticised by either
of the great parties in the Legislature. Mr. 'Wilson's
time was consequently applied almost exclusively
to the preparation and defence of the financial
measures of the administration, more especially
those relating to the reform of our colonial tariff.
In the protracted discussions that arose upon the
sugar duties, and in these respecting the remission
of our ancient differential charges on foreign and
colonial produce generally, the proprietor of the
Economist became better known as a useful and
ready parliamentary speaker. At the general elec-
tion of 1852 he was re-elected for Westbury ; and
on the formation of the Coalition Ministry uudcr
Lord Aberdeen, he was made one of the Secretaries
of the Treasury, a post he continued to fill under
Lord Palmerston until 1858. On the noble
viscount's resumption of office in 1859, he was ap-
pointed Vice-President of the Board of Trade ; but
was soon afterwards promoted to the post of Finance
Minister of the Supreme Council of India; in the
discharge of the laborious duties of which he has
now sunk into an untimely grave.
Of his fiscal and financial policy in the East we
have so frequently and so fully spoken that it is
unnecessary to recapitulate its leading features
here. His mission was, as speedily as possible to
make the current revenue balance the annual ex-
penditure. The obstacles he had to encounter,
owing to the effects of the recent military revolt,
were confessedly great; but those engendered by
long-established habits of loose and lavish expen-
diture of public money were undoubtedly far greater.
The whole of the demoralised Anglo-Indian bureau-
cracy were instinctively opposed to him from the
first. So were likewise the powerful native monied
class, whose profits as imperial pawnbrokers were
endangered by the threatened introduction of a
sounder and healthier system. To these must be
added the frustration offered publicly to the deve-
lopment of his somewhat venturous schemes of
change by men like Lord Elphinstone and Sir
Charles Trevelyan. So far he seemed to have
maintained himself steadfastly and successfully
against all hindrances and thwartings. But who
shall say what effect his unlooked for death, fol-
lowing hard on that of Sir Henry Ward, may have
on the eventual triumph of the principles and ideas
of which he was the promulgator ?

DEATIi OF TUB RIGPT 15t02VOURABLi
JAMES 117ISON:

We regret to learn from a source upon the accu-
racy of which we have every reason to rely, that a
telegram was received at the India-office yesterday,
announcing the death of the Right Hon. James
Wilson. The event is said to have occurred at
Calcutta on the 11th of August. The disorder is
believed to have been cholera. The funeral took
place on the following day.

(.1,;•o;n the Daily News.)
Another heavy blow and great discouragement
hes fallen upon the hopes of reformed administra-
tion in India. Death has struck down suddenly
and unexpectedly the man who, but -a few short
months ago, was specially selected by the Home
Government as the ablest and most trustworthy in-
strurnebt at its disposal for the redemption of In-
dian finance from the ruinous state into which it
had fallen, and already, ere he had time to see the
first results of the bold experimental policy he had
instituted, he is summoned from the scene of his
arduous labours without time to think who shall
