POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

:MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY.—R. J. Siinmonds, a young
man, in the employ of Messrs. Bickers and Son, dressing-
case makers, of Leice,ster-square, was brought before Mr.
Arnold, by Sergeant Langley, of the detective department,
charged with stealing some silver dressing-case fittings,
the property of his employers.
Mr. Henry Bickers, jun., said that on Tuesday last he
went to a dressing case in the shop, and in doing so found
it to be locked, a very unusual thing, as the dressing-cases
were always left unlocked, so that the fittings might be
more closely seen. On the dressing-case being subse-
quently opened eight out of eleven of the silver tops of the
bottles were missing. He then spoke to the three shopmen
iu that particular department, the prisoner being ono,
telling them that it was a barefaced robbery, and that the
matter must be investigated.

Prisoner said lie would plead Guilty and save time.

Mr. Arnold said lie muse bear a little more about it.

Mr. Bickers said that in reply to what he said the pri-
soner remarked, " It's very bad. I can't think how people
can do such things," and he suggested that no pawnbroker
would take such things iu pledge. He afterwards said that
a few days before he had noticed another shop-tan go to
the till and take something out, and go out and have a
chop (the person's name being Mellish); and that if Mel-
lish could do such a thing as that, no doubt ho had taken
the silver fittings, and suggested that a police officer
should be sent for. The prisoner appeared very
anxious to fix the guilt on Mellish, and Mellish was
put under notice to leave in consequence of what the pri-
soner had said. He (Mr. Idickers) afterwards placed the
matter in the hands of the detective police.
Some silver fittings wore produced, and Mr. Bickers
identified them as his property, and said, in answer to Mr.
Arnold, that he had lost a great deal of property at dif-
ferent times.

In reply to the prisoner, Mr. Bickers said h© could not
say ho had lost any property since the prisonor had been
in his employ till the present time, but he had only been
in his employ a few weeks. Ile had discharged a porter a
few weeks ago for robbing at the prisoner's instigation.
Mr. Thomas Parker, assistant to Mr. Debra°, pawn-
broker of the Strand, said that on Saturday night last the
prisoner brought the silver fittings produced and offered
them in pledge. Not feeling satisfied with the prisoner's
statement respecting them ho referred him to the foreman
and on the foreman questioning him ho said that his wife
receive:l the articles as a wedding present. On the fore-
man asking the prisoner where the bottles and the case
were, the prisoner replied, "Perhaps you think I stole the
things ; give them to me back, and I will take them to
Attenborough's." The prisoner spoke in a very plausible
manner, and his style was so calculated to disarm suspi-
cion, that the foreman, although he would not allow him to
have any advance on them, allowed him to hare a
pair of trousers which he had previously pledged,
the prisoner promising to attend on the following Mon-
day with the dressing-case and bottles. As the prisoner
did not come according to appointment, ho (witness) re-
ferred to the " police list," and seeing the articles described
communicated with the police.

Sergeant Langley, of the detective police, said that on
asking the prisoner whether he Lad any suspicion as to
who committed the robbery, he said "I suspect Mellish."
Last night ho took possession of the tops at Bow-street,
and afterwards took the prisoner into custody. The
prisoner had told him that if he watched Mellish the thing
would be found out, and said that he had reasons to
believe the things were sold at Clerkenwell.
Mr. Arnold remanded the prisoner.

THE I?EFOR3I BILL.

PUBLIC MEETING THIS DAY AT GUILDHALL.

A public meeting of the citizens of London was
held this day iu the Guildhall for the purpose of
petitioning the House of Commons to reject the
amendments made in the Bill for Representation of
the People in the House of Lords.
The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided, and
amongst those present were Mr. Goschen, M.P.,
Mr. Locke, M.P., Mr. Thomson Ilankey, M.P.,
Mr. Russell Gurney, M.P., Mr. Crawford, M.P.,
Mr. Labouchere, M P., Alderman John Lawrence
Alderman Hall, Alderman James Lawrence, the
Sheriffs, &c., &c.

The LORD MAYOR having formally opened the
meeting,

Mr. LABOUCHERE, M.P., came forward to move
the first resolution, which was that thepetition which
had been read to the meeting, and which was against
the increase of copyhold and leasehold qualifications
from £5 to 110, the use of voting papers, the
partial disfranchisement of electors in the City of
London and certain other boroughs, by neutralising
their representation and depriving them of one of
their votes, under the name of the " representation
of minorities"and the requirement:of the payment of
a county or borough rate in addition to the poor-
rate, be adopted and signed by the Lord Mayor
on behalf of the meeting and transmitted to
the members for the City of London for
presentation. to the House of Commons. He
challenged the proceedings that had taken place in
the House of Lords as au invasion on the rights of
the people, and said that their amendments were
such that, if carried into effect, the whole bill, in
his opinion, would become a perfectsham. (Cheers.)
The triangular constituencies was a new-fangled
proposition, which he looked upon as a perfect de-
lusion, and one which ho would not consent
to upon any conditions. (Cheers.) The meeting
had only to be in earnest and they would carry their
point, which was the total rejection of the whole of
the amendments which the Lords had made to the
bill. (Cheers.)
Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE seconded the resolu-
tion. He condemned the attempt that had been
made to alter the lodger franchise, and congratulated
the meeting on the non-success of the proceeding.
He referred to the three-cornered system of voting,
and said the representation of minorities meant, in
plain English, the misrepresentation of majorities.
(Loud cheers.) It seemed to him to be highly
impolitic that there should be three members
to represent thousands and tens of thousands, and
one man representing none. (Loud cheers.) The
system of adopting voting papers was also another
most objectionable proposition, because, iu his
opinion, it would put into the hands of the
electoral agents the means of using the votes
to suit their own political bias. The voter
was to fill up his paper in the presence of a
magistrate—(hisses)—and might either be his land-
lord or employer, and perhaps in addition the per-
sonal friend of one of the candidates. (Shame.)
Such a system could bat lead to the worst results,
and he hoped it would be rejected in such a manner
as to prove the feeling of the people in general was
strongly against it. (Cheers.)
Mr. LOCKE, M.P., supported the resolution. He
said he had not been able to attend as many public
meetings as he could have wished, but that did not
arise from any disposition on his part to treat the
great question of Reform in any trivial way. It
was occasioned by the incessant sitting of the House
of Commons, in which for the last two or three
months they had been engaged night and day
discussing the principles of the bill. The
measure, in his opinion, was now far from
perfect, but it was the best under the circumstances
that could be obtained, and, therefore, he accepted
it. The complexion of the bill after it had passed
the Lords was completely altered in many respects,
and such was his estimation of the bill, as at pre-
sent amended, that he believed it would result in
making matters even worse than under the old sys-
tem. (Cheers.) lie felt the bill to be effectual
must remain as it left the House of Commons, and ho
thought it only wanted a strong pull on the part of
the people of London to settle the fate of the so-
called Lords' Amendments. (Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR then put the resolution to the
meeting, which was carried, amidst loud cheering.

Mr. Crawford, M.P., Mr. Goschen, M.P., and
several other gentlemen addressed the meeting, all
condemning the amendments made to the bill in the
House of Lords.

The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks
to the Lord Mayor.

People Bill,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER con-
gratulated the house on the prospect of the passing
of one of the most comprehensive measures ever
sent out from the House of Commons. It was
satisfactory to know that, with the exception of the
qualification for the lodger franchise, the House of Lords
had accepted the provisions of that house for the extension
of the franchise. It was exceedingly satisfactory to know
that, when the House of Lords became better acquainted
with what had taken place in the House of Commons,
they at once restored the qualification to the figure it
originally stood at, and such a proceeding showed, he
thought, the greatest desire on the part of their lordships
to act with unanimity in passing an act of such great
importance. There were three amendments, however,
which he would more particularly refer to, and the
first was that made with respect to clause
5, which diminished the amount of the copyhold or
leasehold franchise; and as their lordships were of
opinion that the matter as settled by the Act of 1832
should not be departed from, her Majesty's Go-
vernment were of opinion that the house ought to
accept the amendment. The next amendment that had
been made in the other house was that their lord-
ships had ro introduced a clause which had
been rejected in that house, viz., a clause as to
the manner and mode in which the voter should
exereise and register his franchise. The clause laid it
down that no person should vote for more than two can-
didates. That clause was carried by an almost over-
whelming majority, and the Government felt that in con-
sideration of the almost unanimous voice of tho House of
Lords that decision ought to be deferred to. (Hear, hoar,
from the Government side of the house.) Although ho
did not approve of the principle, yet in regarding the
manner in which the bill had been discussed and
carried, and her Majesty's Government acting iu the
spirit of conciliation, thought it both prudent and proper
to support the decision the House of Lords had arrived
at. (" Hear, hear," from the Ministerial side of the
house.) The third amendment related to a clause
which had been omitted by that house
the bill when it was originally introduced by the Goys:ali-
ment—he meant the clause relating to voting papers.
(Hear.) Ile was not about to enter into the merits or deme-
rits of such a proposition, it had been fully discussed in
that house ou former occasions, and doubtless would be so
again; but he would say that if the amendment was
adopted it would lead to a great enfranchisement,
because, doubtless, there were a great many persons
under the present system who never recorded their votes.
(Hear. hear.) But it was said the propositiohean would
loud
tend
to personation and corruption—(hear, r, and
cheers from the Opposition side of the house) -but it
must be borne in mind that that objectionable state of
things occurred at present. (Hoar, hear.) Under all the
circumstances her Majesty's Government had come to
the conclusion, in consideration of the conciliatory
tone in which the House of Lords had dealt
with the bill to recommend to that house the acceptance of

Mr. GLADSTONE congratulated the House that one
formidable difficulty, viz., that relative to the alteration
of the lodger franchise had been got rid of
--(hoar, hear)—
and he readily bore his testimony to the courage and deci-
sion with which the Earl of Derby acted on the occa-
sion. However, ho thought the amendments made by
the Lords wore of a reactionary nature, therefore
the loss they said about the conciliatory spirit in which
the bill had boon discussed in the other house the better.
The house then proceeded to consider the first amend:.
ment of the Lords in clause 3, the effect of which was
to make the voters in the new boroughs pay the borough
rate as well as the poor rate.
After a short discussion, the house disagreed with their
lordships' amendment.

Taz Mooßs.—The prospects for the opening on
Monday next on the vast range of moors running from the
neighbourhood of Penistone into Derbyshire and Cheshire
are so very bad that several of the largest proprietors will
not shoot this season over their grounds. Among others,
the moors of Mr. J. S. Stanhope, extending to between
7,000 and 8,000 acres, will be left untouched, and the same
will be the case with regard to those adjoining of Mr. It
C. Clarke, of Noblothorpo-ball, who goes into Scotland. The
Bradfield Game Association have also agreed not to open
the Bradfield Moors until the 12th September. At Board-
hill, the Strines, and on nearly all the grounds, very few
birds are to be seen, and gamekeepers who have been out
during the week report very few covies to be seen, but a
good many dead birds, the disease and the tapeworm hav-
ing made great havoc. There will, therefore, be few guns
out this season, and less bags made than for some years
past. On nearly all the grounds there will not be many
more young birds found than will be required for breeding
for next year.
THE CAMP AT COLCIIESTER.—The sth Dragoons,
under the command of Colonel the lion. S. J. G. Cal-
thorpe, will arrive at Colchester from Ireland soon after
the departure of the Inniskilling Dragoons, and will be
stationed at Colchester Cavalry Barracks until further
orders. The Commander-in-Chief has granted leave of
absence to Captain Wilson, 84th regiment, from July 27
until his retirement from the service; and to Lieutenant
the Hon. J. B. Ogilvy, 32d regiment, from August 1 until
his retirement from the service.
TIIE CIVIL SERVICE.—APPOINTMENTS.--Messrs.

Garnett, and Herbert Price, having been the first four In a
