POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBORO UG a-STREET.

STREET ROBBERY AND CURIOUS DEFENCE.—Maty Ann
Parke, a young female, was charged under the follow-
iog circumstances :—From the evidence of Gibbs, a
constable, it rppeared that, hearing cries of " Police "
that morning in Crown-street, Soho, he went to the
spot, when a gentleman gave the prisoner into custody
for robbing him of some money, and that o❑ taking her
to the station-house the money was found in her hand,
It was about four o'clock.

In defence, the prisoner said it was her owl!. money ;
that it had been given to her by a gentleman in the
Temple at one o'clock that morning in his chambers,
with the view of her getting a situation and leaving the
treets.

Mr. Bingham said it was rather strange that three
hours afterwards she should be some distance oil with
the money still in her hands. Perhaps she would favour
him with the name of the benevolent gentleman, as he
always liked to know the names of such kind persons,
And also whereabouts in the Temple his chambers were!
The pri-oner said, although she had known him three
years, she did not know his name, and she could not say
what was the name of the place in the Temple, as she
had had a little to drink.

The prisoner, who has been charged on former occa-
ions with similar robberies, was then remanded.

LITERATURE.

The Book of Ornamental Alphabets. Collected and
designed by F. Delarnotto. E. and F. N. Spoil,
Bucklersbury.
A charming 1 the volume this is—evidently a
labour of love wire the artist—otherwise we should
not have seer, combined in its production research
the most painstaking, with industry the most inde-
fatigable. It is a book that old Lord Monboddo
would have hung over, as he turned the leaves, de-
lighted. It is designed, the title-page tells us, for
schools, for carvers, masons, engravers, decorative
painters, lithographers, architectural and decorative
draughtsmen, and others ; or, as they say in that
little dry chip of Latin, almost part and parcel of
our vernacular, cum cceteris paribus. Beyond
these, however, it will hardly fail to interest the
inguist, the philologist, or the grammarian. The
work is, in simple truth, a curiosity. An exami-
nation of it would not have been disdained by
chol3rs old or new, from Scaliger to Ruddiman,
from Tooke to Trench, from Crichton to Mezzo-
faliti. Yet the work is simply, as its title tells us,
book of ornamental alphabets—alphabets ancient
yid modern, from the ninth to the nineteenth cen-
tury, with numerals, Roman and Arabic. Among
the letters are Gothic, Church-Text, German,
Italian, Arabesque, Rustic, Ornamental, and be-
sides all these, Initials for Illumination. There
are fifty pages, or rather plates, in all—each bril-
liantly emblazoned. There are monograms and
crosses ; there are analytical old English and ana-
lytical Roman letters, large and small, and
numerals. The book is complete. It is the suc-
cessful realisation of a very happy thought, but one
thus perfectly realised, through how much toil and
assiduous investigation ! We can very heartily-
,:ommend it to the attention of those for whom it
has been especially intended by its ingenious col-
lector and designer, Mr. F. Delamotte.

The King of Wurtemberg has conferred on Baron
Varaigues, prefect of the palace to the Emperor of the
French, the cross of commander of the second class of
the Order of Frederick ; on Capt. Friant, orderly officer
to the Emperor, the cross of knight of the Order of the
Crown ; and on Capt. Baron de Verdieres, of the French
staff, the cross of knight of the Order of Frederick.
