POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.;

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

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

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. "rimy there stopped for a
minute, and then walked up to the house of Mr. Holt,
N.. 20, and he (the officer) then got into a doorway and
watched them. He then saw 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, he (Cole) following them all the
while. Tney then went to the door cf Mr. Holt again,
and again did something to the keyhole. They then
left again and he followed them until be met a
constable in uniform, when he told him to follow
him, and on coming up with them he took Barrett, and
the other officer pursued Tompkins as far as Charing-
cross, and brought him back. On taking Barrett he
told the officer he would suffer for it, as be
was manager of The Sun's 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.
Barrett said in defence he was only in Sack ville-street
once. That he was a printer, employed at Mr.J,ines'e,
in Parker-street, who printed the Family herald (the
publication in question is printed by Messrs. Bradbury
and Evans, the well-known printers). The other pri-
soner Tompkins said he was a greengrocer.
Co!e asked for a remand that he might make inquiries
as to the prisoner's character.
Mr. Bingham said he should like to hear something
more of them after their own statement, and remanded
them.

MARKET NEWS.—(Tius Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

A full average time of year supply of English wheat
was on offer here today, 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 were fairly supplied with oats, in which a steady
business was transacted, at Monday's decline in value.
Beans, peas, and flour sold on former terms.
