POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.

MARLBORO'CrGH-STREET.

ATTEMPTING TO ENTER A HOUSE WITH A FALSE
KEY.—A QUEER DEFENCE.—George Tompkins and
John Barrett, the latter calling himself a compositor,
were charged before Mr. Bingham, under the following
eircum,tances.

Charles Cole, 317 A, a very active detective officer,
and whose vigilance, there is very little doubt, prevented
an extensive robbery, said that about 10 o'clock on the
previous night he saw the prisoners, with another man,
in Coventry-street, and suspecting them he followed
them into Sackville-street. They there stopped for a
minute, and then waked up to the house of Mr. Holt,
No. 20, and he (the officer) then got into a doorway and
watched them. He then raw Tompkins put a key into
the keyhole. They then all walked away down Vigo-
street into Regent-street and to Leicester-square, and
back to Sackville-street, ha (Cole) following them all the
while. They then went to the door of Mr. Bolt again,
and again did something to the keyhole. They then
left again and ho fol'oreed them until he met a
constable in uniform, when he told him to fallow
him, and on coining up with them he took Barrett, and
the other officer pursued Tompkins as far ae Charing-
cross,' and brought him back. On taking Barrett he
told the officer he would miler for it, its he
was manager of The Suds printing-office. Barrett gave
his address in Rose-street, Long-acre, which he found
was a shut up house, and the other prisoner gave the
address of a large baker in Goodge-street, where he was
not known. _

I;trettsaid in defence ho was only in Sackville-street
once. That he was a printer, employed at Mr. Jones'e,
in Parktrstreet, who printed the Family 'Jerald (the
publication in question is printed by Mess's. Bradbury
and Evans, the well-known printers). The other pri-
soner Tompkins said he was a greengrocer.
Cale asked for a remand that he might make inquiries
as to the prisoner's character.
• Mr. Bingham said be should like to bear something
more of them after their own statement, and remanded
them.

MARKET NEVI/S.—MU Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

A full average time of year supply of English wheat
wee on offer hero to-day, but the bulk of it was composed
of Monday's unsold samples. Very few buyers were in
attendance, and the demand ruled very inactive at almost
. • nominal currencies.
Foreign wheat, the show of which was extensive, met a
very dull inquiry, and prices had a downward tendency.
Barley and malt sold slowly, but we have no change to
notice in quotations.

We wore fairly supplied with oats, in which a steady
business was transacte<l, nonday's decline in value.
Beans,--peas, and flour sold on former terms.

FIRE AT NEWINGTON.—About half-past eight last
evening a fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Wicks,
draper, 4, Staverton-row, near the Elephant and Castle.
The fire, which was caused by some of the goods in the
shop coming in contact with one of the gas-burnen,
spr:•ad to the upper part of the house, and the inmates
had some difficulty-in escaping. The engines quickly
arrived, but the fire was not extinguished till eleven,
when everything within the walls was destroyed. The
lo:s will fall on the Sun Fire-office.
THE "FXAIIIINER'S" ADVICE TO THE OPPOSITION.
—We would have no more attacks upon this mighty,
governrneiat as long as it continues rooted in the little-
ness of an opposition to which numbers are no more a
Source of strengeb than ton fl .ek of sheep. Yet even sheep j
present a united front to a common danger. Let there
be no more of these displays of vigour eodirg with de-
monstrations of imbecility. Batter eat our leek with a
good grace, than- munch it with double humiliation after
a futile and ludicrous rtsistanco.
