ILLNESS OF THE PRINCESS OF WALES.

Some alarm was created at Windsor on Saturday
in consequence of the Prince of Wales, who had
visited Windsor on Friday and had slept at the
Castle, being hastily summoned to town. A special
train was immediately ordered, and his royal high-
ness reached Marlborough House without delay.
The rumour was, that the Princess of Wales had
been suddenly taken very ill. Unfortunately this
rumour is not without foundation, for last night
a communication was received from Gen. Knollys
authorising us to state that " Her Royal lEgh-
ness the Princess of Wales has been suffering for
several days from acute rheumatism, but that there
is no symptom to cause any anxiety."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Tin WAY EMPLOYERS ARE ROBBED.—Charles Day,
young man in the employ of Mr. John Augustus Jones,
butcher, 194, Piccadilly, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt
with stealing a quantity of meat, the property of his em-
ployer; and Joseph Wilson, a butcher, and Edward Ed-
wards, a baker, were charged with receiving the same with
a guilty knowledge.

Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap-
peared for Wilson.

Police-constable Chas. Butcher, 137 0, said—Last night
about 8 o'clock I was in Piccadilly opposite the shop of
Mr. Jones, butcher, when 1 saw Edwards walking up and
down and past the shop several times. He went up to the
shop door, when Day, who is in Mr. Jones's employ, came
to the door and opened it. They spoke for about a minute
and Edwards left, and Day went in and shut the door.
Edwards then went to a public-house about four or flve
doors off, and then came out and went to Mr. Jones's shop
again, when Day, who had a largo bundle with him, opened
the shop door, and handled the bundle, which I observed
contained a leg of mutton, to Edwards, who walked away
and went to No. 37, Rupert-street, where Wilson lives on
the second floor. I stood on the opposite side of Rupert-
street, and could see from the peculiar construction of the
house Edwards and Wilson in conversation together
Shortly after Edwards and Wilson and a female came out
of the house, and went along Piccadilly till they came to
the White Bear, about 200 yards from Mr. Jones's shop,
where Wilson and the female waited while Edwards
walked on to Mr. Jones's shop, and having put his hand
on the door it was opened by Day, who gave Edwards *
bundle and then closed the door again. I followed Ed-
wards and saw him join Wilson and the female, and then
all of them walked away till they got to Windmill-street,
where Edwards handed Wilson the bundle. After going
into a public-house and remaining there a short time, they
all went to No. 37, Rupert-street, Wilson carrying the
bundle. I got the assistance of a constable in uni-
form, and went up into the room, where I e*W
Wilson and Edwards and two •r three other persons.
I told Edwards and Wilson that I was a police-officer, and
was going to take them into custody for receiving meat,
knowing it to be stolen from Mr. Jones in Piccadilly.
Wilson said he knew nothing about it, and Edwards re-
mained silent. I found in the room a leg of mutton hang-
ing on the wall, and another tied up in a handkerchief on
a chair. Wilson said it was his room, and he lived there
with his family. 1 asked Wilson if he had any more meat
in the place, and he said he had not. 1 found in a cup-
board a piece of salt beef, a piece of fresh beef, and some
mutton in all about 401bs. Wilson said he knew nothing
about the moat, and that it had been brought there by a
person. I took Wilson and Edwards to the station and
then went to Mr. Jones's. Day was out, but on his corn-
ing in at 11 o'clock 1 told him the charge against him, and
he said he had taken meat once, and that ho know Wilson
and Edwards were in custody, because when he was out
he saw them going to the station. He also said that ho had
3s. each for the legs of mutton from the person be sold
them to, and whom he had become acquainted with by
seeing him take bread to a family he •(Day) also took
meat to.

Mr. Jones—Day is in my employ, and has been since
September last. I believe the legs of mutton to be lei
property. Last week I missed three, but beings large
stock I cannot say that I missed the two legs in question.
In reply to Mr. Lewis, Butcher said I have known Wil"
son, who is a baker, some time, but know no harm of
him.

Mr. Lewis having addressed the magistrate in behalf of
Wilson,
Mr. Tyrwhitt said—lt is a case I must send for trials
but I will take bail for Wilson. lam afraid it will turn
out that the young man, Day, has been led away by the
other and older prisoners to take his master's property.
Committed for trial.
