POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.

BOW-STREET.

Henry Kelley, Elizabeth Kelley, and an elderly woman,
named Wallace, were placed at the bar, this morning,
charged.with having in their possession a large quantity of
stolen property.
Police-constable. Joy, 338 A, said—On Wednesday last
notice was received by the. police that a black leather port-
manteau had been stolen from the roof of a cab, containing
property of considerable value, and from information he
afterwards obtained, he went to the prisoners' lodgings, 8,
Little Wild-street, and there discovered the missing port-

manteau. He questioned the prisoners how they became
possessed of it, but- the most unsatisfactory answers were
returned to his inquiries. A brother constable, 301 A,
being in company with him, they conveyed the prisoners
and the stolen property to the station-house, where the
charge was duly entered against them. On opening the
portmanteau it was found to contain a quantity of wearing
apparel, bearing the name of " Shaw," a military
coat belonging to an officer in the "Royal Marine
Light Infantry," two silver gravy spoons, two
ditto dessert, two ditto teaspoons, and four silver prongs,
marked with the letters "L. P. S." There was also in it
a fancy smoking cap, made of red, white, and blue cloth, 'a
large roll of leaf tobacco, and a carpet travelling-bag. On
examining the apartment, a large number of pawnbrokers'
duplicates were found, all of which related to wearing ap-
parel, and a barrister's scarlet bag, bearing inside the words,
" Phipson, Temple." Prom what he had now learned,`the
scarlet bag was a part of the produce of another robbery,
con mitted a short time ago, after which the learned gentle-
man offered a reward of £5 for a memorandum:book which
was ii the bag when it was stolen.

" Last, evening the Fethard police escorted into
Clonmel a young, ladylike and extremely delicate
girl, named Ann Wallon, and had her comtnitted to
gaol on a charge of having written several seditious
letters—one in particular, which wo understand
eonstitutes•the head and front of her' offending,
written on the 20th inst., and calling onther Ma-
jesty's forces to rebel and mutiny,' as the language
of the committal expresses it. Inquiries ;made at
the gaol have failed to elicit any information
respecting the position' nd connexions of the pri-
soner. We could learn nothing more than that she
is a native of Fethard, and that the warrant for her
committal was signed by a county magistrate—we
believe the Hon. Mr. Ffrench, and that the docu-
ments which 'it is -alleged she has written are in
the hands of Mr. Monaghan, Sub-Inspector of
Police. To all appearances the accused is highly
respectable and intelligent. We may mention, en
passant, that rumours touching her sanity freely
obtained to-day. Her conduct during the preli-
minary investigation previous to' her committal,
and her demeanour in the gaol since, are not, we
understand,- calculated to sustain the imputation."

- The other police-constable having given similar evidence,
The female searcher at the police-station said ehe found
18 duplicates sewed round the bottom of the dress of the
elder prisoner, and also in her pocket the remains of alarge
silver skewer, which had been broken into bits of an inch
long. Nothing was found on either of the others.
Mr. Jardine asked if the owner of the property had been
discavered ?

The constable said he had not yet had time to make any
inquiries, but if the prisoners were remanded for a week he
should be prepared to go on with the case.

Remanded accordingly.

ROBBING A NEWS Room.—A very respectably-dressed
man, a foreignei, Was charged with stealing a book from
the Strand news-room.

The prosecutor said he was standing at the street door
of the newsroom, 76, Strand, of which he was the proprietor,
at about half-past eight o'clock, when he observed the pri-
soner coming hurriedly down stairs. As he passed into the
street he presented a very bulky appearance about the chest,
and immediately he (prisoner) saw this circumstance had
aroused suspicion, he ran away as fast as possible. He
(prosecutor) pursued him, and on coming up with him in
Maiden-lane, the book now produced, " Kelly's Post-office
Directory for 1859" was taken from under his coat. He
made a strong appeal to be allowed to escape, but was given
into the custody of the police. The prosecutor said he had
no wish to press for a severe punishment against the man,
but last night he did feel much, annoyed that the directory
should have been stolen, as he had only the day previous
given 375. for it for the accommodation of the public.
The prisoner, in answer to the charge, made a long state-
ment in the German language, the purport of which was
that want had driven him to commit the robbery.

Remanded for inquiries to be made as to character.
STEALING A TEUCK--Murgaret Winch, a street vendor
of caps and cuffs, was charged with stealing a hand truck,
value £4, the property of the London and North Western
Railway Company.

Hewett, one of the porters at the War-office, in Pall-
mall, said last evening, about five o'clock, the truck was
standing in front of the 'office, having been used for the
conveyance of some heavy goods from the waggon to the
interior of the house. It had been left in his care, and if it
had been lost he should have had to pay for it, which would
have been rather a serious matter for him in his situation,
As the truck had been recovered, and the woman had been
locked up all night, he had no wish to press the charge.
The woman was so drunk that she seemed not to know
what she was about.

The prisoner said she had only taken the truck fora lark.
31r. Jardine advised her to abstain from such larks for
the future, or she would in a very short time find herself
inside a prison. He would let her off this timer but he
should recollect the occurrence when she made her next
appearance at that office.

THREATENING LETTERS.
The King's County correspondent of Saunders's
Newsletter writes as follows :

"It is but right to observe, from accounts re-
ceived from different districts, that in this county
the receipt of threatening letters is becoming
alarmingly frequent in almost all parts :of the
country. -A highly respectable gentleman within
the last few.days received a letter through the post
office threatening him with death if he had any-
thing to do with certain lands. A large number of
these epistles, it is believed, arc never handed to
the police. On Friday night last a care taker
named John Kiernan, on the demesne of the late
Capt. Nesbitt, of Tubberdaly, was attacked and
severely beaten by a party of poachers. An active,
but up to the present an unsuccessful search has
been made, and continues to bemade almost nightly,
by the police in different parts of this county, fir
Jas. Delany, the supposed murderer of Mr. Ely.
The houses and premises of many highly respectable
individuals have been surrounded by night and_
closely searched, but without effect. It is sup-
posed that Delany has been secreted by the ser-
vants in the employment of these parties, whose
high character and position is above suspicion."

LEGAL APPOINTMENTS. -
The following appointments are announced in
the Government morning paper :
" Mr. Hans Hamilton, Q.C., Assistant Barrister
for the county of Galway, has been appointed to
the Chairmanship of the county of Armagh, vacant
by the resignation of Mr. Edward 'Eckel, Q.C.
Mr. W. W. Brereton, Q.C., Assistant Barrister for

ne county of. Kerry, has been appointed to the
county of Galway. Mr. Stephen Copingcr, Q.C.,
Assistant Barrister for the county of Kildare, has
been appointed to thc- county of Kerry; and Mr.
Thomas Lefroy, Q.C., has been appointed Assistant
Barrister •for the county of Kildare. Mr. Copinger
is a distinguished Itoman Catholic lawyer, who has
consistently supported the Conservative party for
many years, and his promotion will give general
satisfaction. Mr. Lefroy's appointment is also well
deserved, not only on account of his own high posi-
tion at the bar, but also as being son of the vene-
rable Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench and
brother to the member for the University."
Higher judicial changes are confidently spoken
of as being likely to take place before the opening
of Hilary Term.

DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING.
SECRET SOCIETIES-THE IN

The official investigation into the charges pre-
ferred against the youthful patriots from Skib-
bereen and Bantry of being, members of a secret
and illegal society commenced on Tuesday morning
-in the Cork County Gaol. It was conducted with
strict privacy, the press being excluded. The
Examiner, however, supplies'an outline of the pro-
ceedings .
" The magistrates before whom the investigation
was -held were Messrs.: Davys and Fitzmaurice,
both stipendiary.- magistrates ; Sir M. Barrington,
Crown Solicitor, and Mr. Fagan, his assistant,
conducting the case on behalf of the Crown; and
Messrs. T. M'Carthy Downing of Skibbereen,
and H. B. Julian, of Cork, defending the
prisoners. Between 11 and 12 o'clock a body of the
city police, armed with carbines, arrived at the gaol
for the purpose, as was understood, of conducting.
the accused from the place of their confinement to
where the inquiry was to, take: place, and the pro-
ceedings commenced about 12 o'clock. The first
witness examined was the approver, whose direct
examination was not over when the inquiry was
adjourned yesterday evening at the hour of half-
past-6, and which did not terminate up to an ad-
vanced hour to-day. He deposed to having been
present at several meetings orthe Phoenix Society,
and also to the administration to himself of two
oaths by -a party who has, up to the present, con-
trived to, elude arrest, but an active search after
whom is being carried on by the authorities. He
also swore that he 'had seen the -prisoners drilling
_several times at night, in places a little outside the
town of,Skibbereen ; but this portion of his evi-
dence is, we understand, asserted by the , prisoners
to be-false, as they had not been drilling:on the:oc-
casions mentioned- by him. From- the' SlOw rate at
which the direct examination is • going on, and the
likelihood- of the approver being subjected -to a long
cross-examination, it is probable that his evidence
will not conclude before a late hour to=niorrow, and
that, -as there are other witnesses to be examined,
the inquiry will occupy several days'iriore. Three
-witnesses arrived from' Skibbereen yesterday even-
ing, under the escort of a head constable and about
16 policemen armed with bayonets. They arrived
in Cork by the evening -train from Bandon, and
having put up in the, city last -night, they pro-
ceeded to the county gaol about 12 o'clock to-day,
still under the strong escort which accompanied
them from Skibbereen. Two of them are boys, ap-,
parently about the ages of 15 and 17 years, and the
other is a middle-aged man, whose appearance is
that of -a- respectable mechanic: We understand
-that their evidence will be with regard to drillings
which they saw going on at night."
• The 'Tipperary Examiner which- reached- this
morning brings this singular account of the arrest
of a young lady on a charge of having written Se-
ditious letters.:—'
