POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAI

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
RAYitra-,;17 AT MESSRS. HOOPER'S COACH FACTORY.—
Horace Gallop, of Townsend-cottages, St. John's-wood,
a coach. c:‘rver, formerly hi the'employ of Messrs. Hooper,
the well known coach makers, Of Little Windmill-street,
was charged with stealing a bag of horse hair and a plan-
titx or workmen's tools.

Vrom the evidence of J►►lui Pad:house Lake, foreman of
the factory, it appeared that his attention was called by a
persmt who heard the door of the factory shut at an unusual
hour. On approaChiug the factory he saw the prisoner and
a person in conversation, and as soon as the former saw
him 'approach he started, otf. On examining the door
of the factory he found that it had been forced app►-
rently from the riuside, and as he had fastened up the
factory when he left he had no doubt the prisoner must
have been concealed therein at the time. The horse hair
produced had been taken from a carriage cushion, and on
examining the factory he found a quantity of tools belong-
ing to the workmen missing.
Jay, the detective officer, who had charge of the case,
said he found the bag of horse hair at the prisoner's lodg-
ings, Townsend-cottages, St. John's-wood, but at first he
could not tell the extent of the robbery.

.... .
Thomas Reed, a workman employed at the factory, and liv-
ing next door to the factory, deposed to seeing the prisoner'
outside the factory at the time in question with some of the
tools in his possession. On saying to the prisoner, " That
the mystery was found out, that they had lost a quantity of
tools, and that different persons had been accused and some
discharged," the prisoner said, " I'm done," and asked hith
to let him. take them back, and on his sending for the fore-

man he ran away.
A workman, named Bolt, 'having identified some of the
tools as his property, and Jay having detailed the circum-
stances of the prisoner's apprehension, the prisoner was

remanded.

According to the last accounts from China the
impression seemed to be that a further movement in the
rate of exchange adverse to England was to be expected,
but that it would be checked by the first few arrivals of
specie from this side.
It is reported that the Royal Commissioners for
1861 are about to plant their three great roads, viz., Exhi-
bition-road, Cornwall-road, and Prince Alberee-road, with
lime trees.
