Count della Marmora will, immediately on Count
de Cavour's return to Turin, which is expected to
take place at the end of this month, proceed to Sar-
dinia for the purpose of inspecting the coast forti-
fications.

A private letter from Turin of the I.7th announces
that out of the 13 elections which have just taken
place in Piedmont, 12 have ended in the return of
Government candidates. The political tendencies
of the 13th succesful candidate are not well known.
Marquis Birago, the chief editor of the ultra-
clerical organ L'Annonia, has been thrown out by
a majority of only 10.

Captain George M. Hicks, the Governor of White-
cross-street Prison, has been appointed a Commissioner
of the Court of Chancery, to take affidavits within the
prison. Similar commissions have been issued by the
Courts of Queen's Bench,
Common Pleas, Exchequer,
and the Insolvent Debtors' Court.
MERCHANT SHIPPING Acr.—Nr. Wigram Crawford,
M.P. for the city of London, and chairman of the Mer-
cantile Marine Association, has given notice in the
House of Commons that he will move, early next ses-
sion, for a select committee to inquire into the working
of the Merchant Shipping Law Amendment Act, 1853.
It may be important to include an inquiry into the ope-
ration of the Passenger Act of 1854.

THE DOG DAYS.—As many persons are desirous of
knowing how far the law may be efficacious in putting
a stop to the appearance of stray does in the street, it
may be well to mention that the Metropolitan Police
Act, 2d and 3d of Victoria, c. 47, s. 54, enacts, that any
one, who shall "turn loose, or suffer to be at large, an
unmuzz'ed ferocious dog," shall be liable to a penalty of
405., and section 61 of the same act gives power to the
police to destroy any dog reasonably suspected of being
in a rabid state. Tnese two sections appear to accom-
plish all that the most ardent canicide could require.
LAST MOMENTS OF THE LATE CAPT. SIR W. PEEL.—
We have seen a letter, says the Bristol Times, from a mid-
shipman of the Shannon, who was with the Naval Bri-
gade, and which is written to his friends in Hampshire,
which gives, in the boy's language, a simple and touching
account of le last moments of the gallant officer :—" Of
course you have heard of poor Capt. Peel's death; be died
' at Cawnpore, at the house of Mr. Moore, the clergyman
there, who seems to have boon very kind to him during
his illness. The doctor who attended him would not say
how ill he was, although he begged that he might be told
at once if ho was in absolute danger. Several times
when Mr. Moore went into his rosin he found him on
his knees, and when prayers were offer d up in church
for his recovery, the day becare his death, he was very
much pleased. Throughout his illness he constantly
spoke of hie mother and Landy, the village joining his
estate iu England, saying how glad they would be to
sea him again, and he begged that it might not be
generally known how ill he was, for fear his mother
should hear it."

THE BODY EXPOSED NEAR SHEERNESS.—Yenterday
the churchwardens and overseers of the parish of Min-
ster appeared before the county magistrates at Sitting•
bourne to answer on an information laid against them
under the Act of George 111 , cap. 75, sec. 7, for not
burying the body of a man found drowned within the
parish of Minster. Mr. James Lewis, town-clerk of
Rochester, conducted the prosecution, the information
being laid by Mr. W. Eigecombe, coroner's constable,
by order of the Mayor of Rochester. Mr. Joseph H.
Burley, one of the overseers, conducted his own case;
and Mr. M'Carthy Stephenson, solicitor, attended to
conduct the case for one of the other overseers.
The magistrates heard only two witnesses for
the proaecutioo, Mr. Edgecombo and the pier con-
stable, Mr. Carnet, when they retired, and, after a short
consultation, on returnieg into court, the Rev. J. Poole,
chairman, said, as he was quite satisfied the ma• ter would
drop there, they said that the notice required by the Act
of Parliament had not been proved to their sati,faelion,
and they therefore di-missed the case. Upon an appli-
cation of the plaintiff, Mr. William Edgeornbe, the ma-
gistrates granted a case to be taken under the Acts cf
the 20 li and 21st of Victoria, cap. 43, whereby the opi-
nion of the Court of Queen's Bench should be taken to
set the matter at rest. Mr. Lewis and Mr. Edgconabe
were bound over in their own recognizancea to anpear
at the 0,-,net of Q.,,,,en's 13 ?re% when ci...l.ed up,is fur
that purpose. Mr. Burley applied to the magistrates to
be granted his and his colleagues's, and his witnesses'
expenses, which request was r, fused by the magistratee.
EXPENSES IN THE BERNARD CASE.—We aro very

sum, and that the bill of particulars is being hunted up

which explained facts, and showed prima facie that there

Mr. Roxburgh protested, and said that he would be
only wasting the time of the Court and his own by fur-

His Honour said he should wish to have the affidavit

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.

AIARLEOROUGII STREET.

AIDING A CHARGED PERSON TO ESCAPE.—COMMITTAL
FOR TRlAL.—William Williams, who refused his addresr,
was charged by Charles Cole, 317 A, a detective officer,
as follows :

Cole said that at half-past one that morning he was in
Oxford-street, near Hare wood-gate, when ho heard a cry
of "Police." He went to the spot, when ho saw a gen-
tleman holding a fernah?, who he said had attempted to
steal his watch. He seized the female's hands, and in
one of thorn she had the watch, which was not detached
from the chain. The gentleman then put the watch in
lie pocket, and he having left go of the female's hand
she immediately commenced striking bins as hard as
she could in the face and on the body, at the same time
kicking and hallooing. He caught hold of her with the
intention of taking her to the station-house, when the
prisoner came up and said, "Do you want to choke
the woman ?" He told the prisoner he did not,
but he wanted to take her to the staticn-house. Tte pri-
sone,- tben said, "How do I know who you are—where's
your staff ?" He told him he had no staff, but showed
trim his warrant-card, and was about taking her along
when the prisoner followed him and tripped him up,
saying, " Let her go, you —__." The female then
trade her (3.capo, and while he (Cole) was on the ground
the prisoner kicked him violently on the body, and he
was all over bruises.
Was. Gower, a gentleman's coachman, said ho went to
the officer's assistance, and htld the woman while he was
showing his card, and whoa the officer was taking the
