POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(7'HIS DAY).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—DISTURBING A CON-
GREGATION.—John ,Smith, dressed as a mechanic, was
charged before Mr. Bingham with being drunk arid riotous,
and disturbing the congregation assembled at the church
of St. Giles-in-the-Fields during divine service.
Mr. George Martin, schoolmaster of the public school of
St. Giles-in-the-Fields, said that on the previous evening
he was present during divine service in the church, and
everything went on properly till 10 minutes past eight, when
be heard some one, in a loud voice, say to the minister,
while he was preaching, " Shut your mouth." Witness
turned round and looked for the churchwarden, but not see-
ing him, sat down, and had no sooner done so than he heard
the same person cry out, in an equally loud manner, " Hear,
bear." He then asked the pew-opener who was the person ?
and she pointed out the prisoner as the person. He then
went for one of the officers or the beadle, and while he was
doing so the prisoner repeated his conduct. The prisoner
seemed to have been drinking, and as he thought it probable
lie would continue his annoyance, a police-constable was
sent for and he was given into custody.
In answer to Mr. Bingham, the accused said he was very
sorry. He would promise his worship he would not repeat
the offence.

Mr. Bingham said he was inclined to accept his promise,
and ordered the accused to find one surety for his good
behaviour for the next three mouths.

THAMES. ROBBING A COACH-TIOUSE. - George
Aulson, a thin young man, was brought before Mr. Stile,
charged with stealing a set of harness, value £5, from the
coach-house of Mr. Thomas Ennor, builder and contractor,
of Hardinge-street, Commercial-road, Ratcliff, and Marine-
place, Stepney. It appeared that a lad named Kease, in
the employ of Mr. Ennor, put his master's harness into the
coach-house adjoining the business premises in Hardinge-
street, last night. The coach-house was inclosed by a pair
of folding-doors, which were found to have been disturbed
this mottling. They had been opened without unlock-
ing them, by shaking them and causing the bolt
to be withdrawn from the socket. Some considerable force
must have been used to effect an entrance. The interior
of the coach-house was in a state of great confusion, pieces
of candle were lying about, and the harness deposited there
last night was missing. Soon after nine o'clock last night,
police sergeant Stitnpson, 21 K, and another officer,
met the prisoner in Shadwell. He was carrying a set of
harness. Another man, who was carrying an umbrella, was
in the prisoner's company. On the police sergeant's ap-
proaching them, the prisoner threw down the
harness and ran away. His confederate followed his
example. Stimpson pursued the prisoner, who ran down
a narrow turning, called Twine-court, and was missed.
On reaching High-street, Shadwell, the prisoner was missed.
Stimpson looked about, and saw the door of the Duke of
York public-house, on the south side of the High-street,
move. Stiropson went into the house, and saw the prisoner,
and said to him, " You are the man I want." The prisoner
said, " Me, what do you want with me ?" The barman at
the Duke of York said the prisoner had only just entered
the house, and Stimpson then took him into custody. At the
station-house the prisoner said to Stimpson, " You may as
well have it," and took from his pocket a bridle bit, also be-
longing to Mr. Ennor, who identified the same.
The prisoner said a man employed him to carry the har-
ness.
Mr. Selfe committed the prisoner for trial.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING.
CARDINAL 'WISEMAN.
The visit of this great dignitary to Ballinasloe is the only
piece of fresh news in this morning's papers, which are un-
usually dull at present. Early yesterday the Cardinal
left this city by railway for his destination. At the moment
of his departure a large number of priests, and about two
hundred persons, chiefly of the humbler class, were assem-
bled on the platform, and as the Cardinal passed along they
all bowed low before him. Having taken his seat, several
priests from the north of Ireland were introduced by the
bishop. They knelt successively on the platform, and having
received the Cardinal's blessing, were permitted to kiss his
hand. The laity then pressed forward, nod, in sections
numbering about twenty persons in each, knelt before the
door of the carriage, and the band of the Cardinal was passed
over their heads. The train then left, and on its arrival at
Mullingar, the Cardinal, followed by hi, attendants, re-
paired to one of the waiting-rooms, and after an interval of
about ten minutes reappeared clad in scarlet robes, and
wearing scarlet stockings, scarlet gloves, and scarlet head-
dress. He also wore a massive gold chain, a crucifix ar_
tached to which lay upon his breast. The bishop in attend-
ance wore puce-coloured robes and mitre, and several priests
put on clerical costume. The platfbrm meanwhile became
almost blocked up with country people, who, as the precession
passed up,first knelt devoutly and then shouted lustily. At two
o'clock the train arrived at Ballinasloe, and here a process
similar to that which had been witnessed at the Broadstone
terminus was gone through. A host of the priesthood and a
crowd of the laity were assembled ; numerous presentations
were made, and numberless blessings were distributed.
The Roman Catholic Bishops of Elpbin and Clogher were
in waiting on the platfirm. As the dignitaries passed, the
Rev. James Rogers said loudly and repeatedly—" As a min-
ister of the Irish Church, I protest against the introduc-
tion of Romish forms into Ireland." Beyond the precincts
of the railway about a thousand country people and boys,
the latter forming the majority, were collected, and as
the Cardinal was conducted to Captain Bellew's carriage,
there was general cheering. The carriage was at once
driven off, preceded by a crowd of, for the greater part,
shoeless boys, who shouted vigorously. Some of tbem
waved boughs, and one of them carried a rude attempt
at a flag. The noise made the horses restive before the
carriage had proceeded far, and the animals plunged
violently, and for a moment the position of the Cardinal
was a critical one. When the horses were quieted their
further services were dispensed with, and some of the people
drew the carriage to Gill's Hotel. Immediately opposite, and
close to the spat where the horses were removed, a large
" poster" was visible, offering the sum of £40,000 for the
Roman Catholic rule of faith. At the corner of the princi-
pal street some branches dangled from a rope that was
stretched across it, and a number of fruit stands were orna-
mented with pieces of room paper, banging from rode. On
arriving at the hotel the crowd surrounded the carriage, and
yelled rather than cheered. A passage was with considerable
difficulty formed, and the Cardinal then proceeded to the
drawing-room, the windows of which were thrown up, and,
the crowd kneeling on the street, the pontifical benediction
was chanted, after which, without a moment's interval, the
yelling was renewed.
Several clerical agents of the Society for Irish Church
Missions have issued invitations to the Roman Catholics,
which are posted and distributed in every part of the town,
to attend a series of sermons and lectures—the sermons in
the parish church, which has been placed at their disposal
for that purpcse by the Rev. J. C. Walker, rector of Bal-
linasloe, and the lectures in the Farmers' Society building,
on the following subjects:-
1. Saturday, August 21.—" What and where is the Roman
Catholic Rule of Faith ?—Offer of I:49,000 to Cardinal Wise-
man for it ; the Pope's New Dogma and the alleged Assump-
tion of 8.V.M." 2. Sunday evening, August 22.—" Can
Dr. Wiseman prove the Mass to be a Sacrifice for Sins, and
the Priests to be Sacrificrs ?" 3. Monday mid-day, August
23.--" Is Transubstantiation true ? Should the consecrated
Host be adored ?" 4. Monday evening.—" Is Salvation
through the Sacraments of Rome, or solely through Faith
in the Lord Jesus Christ ?" 5. Tuesday mid-day, August
24.—Cardinal Wiseman's Glories of Mary and Lives of the
Five Saints. Will he defend the Miracles and stories
therein indorsed by him ?" 6. Tuesday evening.—
" What are the Consecration Exorcisms, &c., to be
performed by Dr. M'Hale or Dr. Derry, out of
the Pontifical ? Are they Christian rites or Pagan ?" 7.
Wednesday evening, August 25.—" Cardinal Wiseman's
Consecration Sermon—What he said, and what he did not
say." 8. Thursday mid-day, August 26.—" What of the
Alleged Supremacy and Infallibility of the Bishop and
Church of Rome ?" 9. Thursday Evening.—" What of
Purgatory and Priests ?—Prayers and Penance for the
Dead ?—How many Masses will deliver a Soul ?" 10. Fri-
day, mid-day, August 27.—" What of Intercession, and
Invocation, and Merits of B. V. M. and the Saiuts 7—ls
not the Lord Jesus Christ Himself alone enough ?" 11.
Friday Evening.—" What of Holy Images, Holy Relics,
Holy Water, Holy Salt, Holy Ashes, Holy Oil, Holy Scapu-
lars, Holy Medals, Holy Beads, Holy Cords, Holy Wells,
Holy Crosses, Holy Pictures, Holy Shirts, Holy Habits,
Holy Coats, Holy Vestments, Holy Candles, Holy Tapers,
Holy Mortar, Holy Stones, Holy Palms, Holy Rings, and
holy Clay ?" 12. Saturday mid-day, August 28.—" No
True Worship and no Salvation in the Church of Rome—
Who will remain a Roman Catholic now ?"
The agents of the Church Missions Society evidently look
upon the Cardinal's visit as a rare opportunity of displaying
their strength. He is too wily, however, to be dragged into
a conflict with them.
