POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-April 5.

MANSION-HOUSE.—W. H. Chadwick was
brought before the Lord A/Ivor, charged with
having robbed his employers, Messrs. Smith, Elder,
and Co., the extensive publishers, of No. 65, Corn-
hill.

Mr. Wontner appeared for the prosecution, and
stated that the prisoner had been in the service of
the firm about two years-and-a-half, and had com-
mitted in the h else a series of robberies during that
time ; that he had been treated most liberally, and
that suspicions having been entertained tl,at he had
abused the confidence 'reposed in him, Jarvis, the
City detective officer, had been directed to watch
him, the result of which was the discovery that
plunder had been committed by him to a serious
amount. The prosecutors having in their employ-
ment 150 persons, considered it to be necessary to
make an example of any of their servants whom
they found to be guilty of acts of dishonesty, and
had determined to pursue that intention in the
present instance.
Mr. Henry Samuel King, a partner in the firm,
said—From suspicions which I entertained of th-
prisoner's conduct, I gave directions to the police,
and on Saturday night, at about seven o'clock, the
prisoner was brought to me by Jarvis, the detective
officer. I said to him, "I know why you were
brought back, Mr. Chadwick; you have been
robbing us." He said, " It's no use denying it, I
have.". I said, " You have some of our property
up-stairs." He said, " I have," and I went with
him up-stairs, and he opened his drawer with a
key and took out four or five books, and said,
"Those are your property." I told him to get his
bag and unlock it, and he took it from a cupboard
and unlocked it, and took two more books out, and
then he placed some othe r books down, and admitted
that they were ours. The officer took a pocket-
book from him and the prisoner said "That is your
property, I took it on Friday," and then the officer
produced some postage stamps, and the prisoner
said they belonged to the firm. He was then taken
to the station-house. I have since that time ex-
amined a number of the books which are produced
by the officer, which I believe to be our property.
The prisoner said he had left some at his house, and
also some at the house in King William-street.
Jarvis (the detective ofEer) said—On Saturday
night I took the prisoner into custody as he left
the premises of his employers, and brought him to
Mr. King. At the station-house the prisoner gave
his address, and I went there, and found 54 printed
books, which I now produce, and several parts of
works. I found upon the prisoner's parson a pocket
book, which I produce, and also 12s. 6d. worth of
postage stamps. I saw him take from his drawer
four books, and from his big four others, and from
a shelf in the same room two others in a parcel.
I have since obtained five other books from a house
in King William street.
The prisoner, upon being asked whether he wished
to say anything, said, " No, no."
Committed for trial.
• James Winden was charged under the following
circumstances : _ _ _

Polictman 101-:-At half-past ten o'clock on
Saturday night I was in Leadenhall-street, and I
saw two men there. There was some talk between
them about skeleton keys. The prisoner joined-the
men, amd. I went over and took him into custody
with this baskA in his possession. I asked him
what he had there,.. and he said his own clothes, and
nothing belonging to me. I found that the basket
contained two pieces of pork and two pounds of
mutton chops. The prisoner then said he was
going to take the chops to Messrs. Lockyer and
Davis, and the pork to the same place, and that he
was in the employment of Messrs. Bannister.
Mr. Edward Bannister, partner in 'he firm of
M« ssrs. Bannister, of Threadneedle-street, butchers,
said—The prisofer has been in our emploment
some time, and we never suspected him of dis-
honesty. We have pork like t,,,at p"roduced.
prisoner had to leave some chops at Messrs. Lock-
yer's, but no pork. I believe the p trk to be ours.
The Lord Mayor—Had he any right to take the
pork from your premises ?
Witness—Not at all ; we have been watching
two men who have been lately lurking about our
premises. The prisoner is respectably connected,
and always had an adequate allowance of money.
The Lord Mayor said the prisoner had been de-
tected in very good Elie, and if the conversati in
about the skeleton key were to beconsidered as an
intimation of future operations, very probably Mr.
Bannister had reason to congratulate himself upou
what had.taken place.
The prisoner—l was not certain whether it was
pork or mutton that bad been ordered, and I took
the pork at, tho same time to see which it was.
The Lord Mayor—You shall go to the House of
Corrcction for one month.—Committed.

M A.RLBORO GJGH=STREET.—Mathew J Ales,
a respectably attirrcl young c-nintryman, was
charged wi h knowingly uttering a false note on
the Leicester and Leicestershire Bank for 51., and
thereby defraudlng one George Mason, of No. 6,
Castle-street.

The prosecutor said he was a turf commissioner
and telegraph agent. On Saturday night last he was
at the bar of a public-hous a, when the prisoner
camein, and fc,roing himself into conversation, very
much pre,sed him to lay the odds on a pat Ocular
horse entered for the Newmarket Handicap.
Mr. Leadley, the chief clerk, asked what the
prosecutor meant by &scribing himself, among the
rest, as a telegraph agent. ?

Prosecutor replied that his telegraphic business
was chixfly .of a sporting character; he transmitted
bets ou turf matters for gentlemen, in a similar way
to Stock Exchange affairs. The prisoner, having
teased him very much to have a bet with him, fol-
lowed him out of the house, and still continuing.,
offered a 30s. bet on the forthcoming race. He
added, as he wa3 a stranger, he woul I stake the
money with hinh. Prosecutor at I,,,ngth consenting,
received from the prisoner the 51. country n to pro-
duced, and gave him 31. 10A. difference, and the
prisoner went away. Pro-iecutor subsequently
found the note was good for nothing. On taking
the note theprisouer said, to prosecutor, "It is a
Leicestershire note, but you will find it all right. I
have three or four more of them in my pocket."
Prosecutor, however, found it "all wrong," and gave
information ,and a description of the prisoner to
police, and the prisoner was in consequence traced
out and taken int) custody.

The prisoner, who said if the note was had he did
not know it, was remanded till Wednesday next.
Alexander Rose was on M-nday, _the 22d WT.,
charged, on the evidence of police-constable 0 71,
with stabbing a woman in the head with some in-
strument whereby she was placed in great danger,
and unable to make her appearance then in sup-
port of the charge.
-The constable deposed that he was going his
rounds through Princes-row, Solv.i, about half-pa 4
12 on the previous Saturday night when he met a
woman known to him as Elizabeth Cullie, who was
bleeding profusely from the head ; she was, in fact,
covered with blood, and groaning as if in great
pain and weakness. He raised her up, and she, as
intelligibly as she could, told him she had been
stabbed by a man. As it was close by he led her
to No. 5, Princes-court, where she at once, on
entering, pointed out the prisoner as the man from
whom she had received the injuries. There was a
vast deal of blood over the floor of the 'win. The
prisoner was then taken into custody and the in-
jured woman to the l!ospital.
This being the earliest day the woman could be
pertnAted out to give evidence she wade ber ap-
pearance against the prisoner as the complainant.
Her head was bound up and she was accommodated
with a seat during the tune she gave her evidence
because of the extremebodily weakness under which
she was labouring. She gave her evidence with
g; eat difficulty.

Complainant, on being sworn, said—My name is
Elizabeth Culla), and lam a widow. I had been
living with the prisoner for three years on and off
—the last; time for about three months. I had
again left him for about a week before the assault.
On Saturday, the 20th, last month, in the evening,
I had occasion to go to him at his lodgings, in
Princes-court. What took place on my reaching
his room I cannot recollect. I had had something
to drink, and sat down on the foot of the bed.
What my forgetfulness arises from I do not know,
but believe itto be from the injuries I received ; but
cannot say positively. I received a violent blow from
the prisoner on the held, and lost a large quantity of
blood in consequence. I lost my consciousness, and
on coming to myself found I was in the hospital.
I do not know what instrument the blow was given
with.

The prisoner, who mode noremark, was r manded
for another week, and the woman conveyed back to
the hospital, of which she still 'remains an in-door
patient.

HAMMERSMITH.—Mrs. Lenningbarn, a lady
residing at 43, Rutland-gate, Knightsbridge, was
summoned to answer the complaint of Gto. Fore,t,
a cab-driver, for refusing to pay 6c1., the remainder
of a fare.

Defendant did not appear, but was represented
by her husband.
Complainant deposed that he frequented the cab
stand in Charles-street, Trevor-square, and was
called off on this occasion. to tike up at No. 43,
Rutland-gate. He drove defendant to the Oratory
at Brocapton, and upon the lady alighting she gave
him 6d. He told her the fare was Is,, but she
answered that she never paid any more than 6d.,
and walked away. This was a common occurrence
of the lady having cabs for that distance, and not
paying more than Gd. He had taken her two or

three times, and all the cabmen on the stand knew
her. The distance exceeded a mile.
Mr. Ingham askrd the driver if he had measured
the distance.
Complainant said he had, and found that it was
70 yards over the mile.

Mr. Lenningham said he had made inquiries and
found that it was a hard 6d. fur the distance, and
he had given instructions for the ls. to be given in
future, as it was the proper fare.
Mr. Ingham then made an order for the payment
of the 6d., with 7s. costs, being 2s. 6cl. for each day
the cabman attended, and 2s. the summons.
The money was immediately paid.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING, MONDAY.

By the establishment of certain new Stakes an im-
provement has been made in the list of sport for the
meeting which commenced this day. Stll a fortuitous
interest only was impartirl to the proceedings, and what-
ever success attended the racing was not attributable to
the administrative capacity of the Jockey Club. The
ruling authorities at Newmarket scarcely study the true
interest of the town. Their conduct of racing affairs is
regulated by an exclusive 'principle ; public opinion is
rather defied than conciliated, and the inducements to
gentlemen to send horses to the town are slender indeed
in comparison with the considerations which produce a
contrary effect.
Public patronage is not solicited for the meeting ; it
is rather discouraged, and, however pleasant it may be
for the members of the Jockey Club to have a free range
~f the Heath, and to preserve their courses from the in-
cursions of the mob, the innkeepers and tradesmen of the
town scarcely find the absence of the people either
agreeable or profitable. While at " provincial " towns
meetings which are managed by committees flourish,
those at the metropolis of the turf, with only three ex-
ceptions, maintain merely a doubtful vitality.

Au eff,rt, however, is about to be made to arrest the
gradual decay. On Wednesday next a meeting will take
place to receive the report of the committee appointed
to revise the rules of racing, and to take into considera-
tion other matters affecting turf pursuits.
The Club, however, deprecate the interference of the
public with their plans. The presence of the reporters
was always deemed by oertain people an intriLion at
Newmarket, and comments on the management of.afftirs
at "bead-quarters," and the conduct of the proceeding,
an impertinent meddling with matters which were de-
signed for the amusement and occupation of individual.:
in high stations.
Accommodation for the representatives of the press At
Newmarket was never expected or solicited, but it was
believed that no restrictions would be placed
upon the exertions of those gentlemen whose duty it is
to convey to the public faithful and accurate reports of
the proceedings which come under their notice. V• xa-
clone obstructions have been placed in their way, anti
an official order from the Jockey Club has debarred
them from entrance to the " cabined, cribbed, canfiiie,d"
rooms which serve the purpose of weighing stands at
Newmarket. At every race meeting in the kingdom
except at Newmarket special arrangements are made for

the representative; of the pre,s, and the offiAala afford
them every facility for the transaction of their bu4ines4.
It Newmarket the reverse is the fact. The deliberations
of the Jockey Club, their " commissions of inquiry".
upon any dispute brought before them, have ;Away.
been carried on with a seerecy worthy of a MaHoule

lodge, and now even those matters on which the public
have a right to Expect full and unreserved information
are to be arranged in a kind of Sporting. Star Chamber.
At Newmarket where horse racing is supposed to be
conducted in all its purity—at the metropolis of the
English turf—the reporters are to be excluded, and the
information to be conveyed to the public taunt be ob-
tained casually by a stroll on the Heath.
These circumstances compel us to state that, owing to

the exclusion of the representatives of the press, we
cannot guarantee the accuracy of the weight 4, and the
corr-ctness of the jockey's names at these m.etings.
A. bitterly cold east wild marred the enjoyment of the
sport, and the assemb:age of company was m Est meagr.• ;
not eve so important an event as the maten f.r 3 0001
being a sufficient inducement for many people who were
not directly interested in the proceedings to muster on
the black heath.
By putting on a special train in connection with the
evening trate from Cambridge the Eastern Counties
C mapany afford great accommodation to those per,ons
who wish to return each evening

VIOLENT THUNDERSTORM. —On Saturday afternoon,
a violent thunderstorm passed from the a est over
Hsz,lly heath, near Brarrishill. At the :awe time a
carter in the employment of
Mr. John South, with four
horses, was leaving a field in which -they had been
ploughing, when a flash of lightning struck the poor
fellow and all the horses to the ground. Two of the
horses ipramediately got up and another solo afterwards,
hut one of-them and the carter were ktll,,d on the spot.
The man's hat was literally in Areds ; he light' ing had
s ruek.hitra on .the left side of the bead near the ear,
burning the hair and skin under the ohm, al o severely
scorching the breast, abdomen, loins, and the ithide of
his right thigh and leg ; his flannel shirt was .also
much burnt.

WRECK OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP.

The American bark Petrea, Captain Samuel
Osborne, from Havre for New York, with emi-
grants to the number of 217, French and German,
and a general csrg t, got ashore on Sunday morn-
ing, at abut half past 2 (as briefly related in
the ',Sun of yesterday), on the shoals off the har-
bour of Cheihester,. or "Chichester Pool," wind at
the time blowing fresh wed weather thick. On
striking, the captain adopted the usual measures
of hacking sail. &c., with the view of easing
her off, but to no purpose, as she took the shoal
at high tide and s ruck heavily, and , the fall
left her more. embedded in the strand. On the
vessel being discovered in her perilous position
by the Coastguard at East Wittering, under the
command of Lieut. VVellaston, R.N., every assist-
ance was rendered to that officer and his crew. •At
about 3 p.m. a boat manned by twelve hands. was
despatch- d by the cap ain to the CheValier Pappa-
hrdo, United Sates' consul at Portsmouth, inform
ini.t, him of the disaster, and asking assistance.
The Consul immediately emharked and returned in
the boat to the wreck, distant about. twelve miles
from Portsmouth. through a rough sea. On board?
ing the bark he found the emigrants in a state of
great alarm for their litres and property, although
all had been done by the captain that he could to
calm their fears and inspire confidence. M.
-Pappalardo at once gave such directions as were
necessary, and_ engiged aging of men to man the
pumps and . endeay.,ur to keep her free from
water, the eew being exhausted. . steamer
had been sent to the atais ante of the ship in the
course of Sunday from Portsmouth, by the French
Consul (Chevalier Vandenbergi.), a report having
been made to him that .it was a-French ship, but
the pow,r of the steamer was found too limited to
admit of her assistance being • ffectivein moving the
wreck, and she returned. Yesterday, at daybreak,
the wind blowing a gale from the east-south-east,
fearing i hat she would b-come a total loss, Consul
Pap pal ardor acti,g, in conj unction .with the captain,
deemed it expedient no longer to delay attempting
to land the passengers. Accordingly, he superin-
tended the hoisting over :the side all . heeds, by
means of a barrel and a ". whip," the women and
children being attended to first. A heavy surf was
beatingunthe beach, but an o t her gang of Coastguard-
men and others by ropes helped to drag the.boats
to laud, and these combined efforts were so success-
ful that all were landed to the number of 239 souls,
without any accident of any kind, "the Consul and
the captain being the last to quit the• wreck. They
then saw all berthed /Iva building engaged for them
by the Consul, and comfortably victualled and
otherwise provided for. The Consul then proceeded
per express bait] to P. rtiunouth, and applied to the
naval authorities for a powerful steamtug to extri-
cate the ship froth her perilous position, ani
lighters and hands to save as much as possible of
her ea-go, should it be found impracticable to float
her. The tug, &c., was promptly seut,laut there
seems lit le hope for the stranded vessel, as the
wind his freshened since, ant the tides are dead
neap. However, the snip is a strongly built one,
of about, 500 tons burden, and well fastened.
