POLICE INTELLIG_ENCE.—(This Day).

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

"STRANGERS" IN LONDON.—A USEFUL CAUTION TO
LADIES.--A man and woman named Parara were charged
with attempting to pick the pocket of a respectable married
female named Margaret Barret, under the following cir-
cumstances :

The prosecutrix said she was passing through Cambridge-
street, Golden-square, on the previous afternoon, when the
male prisoner, who was arm-in-arm with the female, stopped
her, and asked her to direct him to Westminster-bridge.
He had a pocket-book in his hand, and said he was a
stranger in
.London, having only just come to London.
She directed him, telling him he was coming quite away
from the place. She then put out her hand to direct which
way to go, and then' found that the female's hand
was deep down in her pocket. She exclaimed, " Oh, you
robber, is that what you mean ?" when she took her hand
out and they both left, and' went into the baths, and on a
constable coming up she spoke to him, and he went in
there and took them into custody.
The anal© prisoner said it was all false.

Police-constable 165 said, that on being spoken to by the
prosecutrix he
_went into the baths, (St. James's Baths),
Dufour's-place, Golden-square, where he found the male
prisoner sitting in the female's department. On telling
him the charge against him, he said hQ was a stranger in
London, having just come from Dublin.

Cole, 317 A, a detective, said he knew both of the pri-
soners as the associates of thieves for some time. The
female had previously been before his worship.
Mr. Beadon—Then they are "strangere in London. I
never give such less than the full term.
Committed for three months with hard labour.

THE REv. W. SMITH. --We have heard, upon
what we consider to be very good authority, says the
Bristol Times, that this unhappy man, whose trial and con-
viction for the attack on Leach created so much sensation
at the Gloucester Spring Assize, died on "Wednesday last,
at Lewes, to which place he was removed, on his way to
Bermuda, where it was intended he should spend the term
of his servitude.
AN OWL'S LARDER.—A few days since an owl's
nest was taken upon the farm of Mr. Parker, Burnett's
Farm, near this city, with three young ones in it. The
luxurious and voracious habits of the owl may be imagined
from the, contents of this nest, which consists of two leve-
rets, one rabbit, three blackbirds, one thrush, and two largte
trout. They were all fresh, and hal been apparently caugh
during the night.—Bath Imornal.

• REPRESENTATION OF MANCIIESTEIt.'-,-Two new
candidates are spoken of, one being Mr. T. Fairbairn, 'Sch.()
issued an address some months ago promising to come for-
ward, and the other. Mr. Frederick Peel. We believe it
will be deeided to-morrow morning whether Mr. Fairbairn
will stand. .
