POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 17.

MANSION-HOUSE.--A gentleman applied to
the Lord Mayor for a summons against the direc-
tors of a public company, and wished to be heard
upon the application.
The Lord Mayor refused to hear the statement
in public, but expressed his willingness to attend
to the application in private, and if he should con-
sider there were grounds for it, the summons should
be granted, and the 'complaint publicly heard ; but,
he was determined not to hear ex parte representa-
tions uttered with regard to companies or indivi-
duals.
His lordship then retired with the applicant to
one of the private rooms, and having heard the
'grounds of complaint refused to grant the summons.
W. Chalkley, porter to Messrs. Tegg and Co.,
publishers, Queen-street, Cheapside, was brought
before Mr. Alderman Cubitt, charged with defraud-
ing his employers of several small sums of money.
Mr. W. Winterburn, clerk in the Great Western
Railway Company's office, King-street, Cheapside,
said—On the 16th of September last I received from
the prisoner a parcel addressed - " Robins, Chelt en-
ham, and he gave me 11d. for the carriage. On
November 16 I received another parcel, addressed

" Robins, Yeovil," together with 11d. On May 7
I received a third parcel, addressed " Kelly, Man-
chester," with 2s. 2d. I put my initials to these
sums in the prisoner's way book.
Mr. J. 11. Marshall, after proving that the pri-
soner was in the habit of receiving from him from
time to time cash for petty disbursements, produced
the way book, which showed that the prisoner, by
either altering or adding to the figures as originally
entered, had defrauded the prosecutors of 4s.
In answer to Alderman Cubitt,

Mr. Winterburn suid that when the prisoner
brought him a parcel on the preceding day he
noticed that the sum of ls. had been added to a
former entry. He thereupon communicated with
the prosecutors.
J. C. Knight, the constable, deposed that when
the inspector at _the station-house read over the
charge to the prisoner the latter said he was guilty
of the offence with which he was charged, and hoped
his employers would deal leniently with him.
The prisoner said he was guilty.
Mr. Marshall—The prosecutors wish the prisoner
to be dealt with as leniently as possible as he has
hitherto borne a good character. He has a wife
and family.
The prisoner wished the case to be disposed of at
once.

Alderman Cubitt—The law does not admit of my
doing that, but if you plead guilty you will be
brought up in petty sessions, when two magistrates
will be •in attendance, and then the case can be
dealt with here.

The prisoner, who then formally pleaded guilty,
was remanded till Friday, when he will be brought
up in petty sessions:
Andrew MTherson, travelling clerk to Mr. A.
Anidjah, looking-glass manufacturer, of 170, Bish-
opsgate-street Without, was brought up on remand
charged with embezzling several sums amounting
to £3 Os. 6d. belonging to his employer.
Mr. Beard appeared for the prosecution.
Evidence in support of the various cases having
been adduced, the prisoner, who declared that, so
far from havino• embezzled the moneys of his em-
ployers, the latter owed him lls. 3d., was fully
committed for trial.

Mary Travers was charged with stealing two
pairs of boots from the shop of Mr. John Chew,
bootmaker, of 64, Minories. _ _

. •
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor
that the prisoner had recently paid:several visits to
his shop, and, after having tried on boots, left with-
out making any. purchase. On Saturday last,
after she had taken her departure, ho missed a
pair of;boots from a stack near where she had
been sitting. She came again on Tuesday, accom-
panied by a little girl, and after trying on several
pairs, which she said did not suit her, was about to
leave the shop, when he stopped her and asked
her what, she had under her arm. She replied,
Nothing. He called his foreman, who put his hand
under the prisoner's shawl, and found the two pair
of boots produced. The little girl escaped, but the
prisoner was given into custody.
Henry-Bird, the prosecutor's foreman, corrobo-
rated his master's evidence.

Prisoner said she was guilty of stealing theboots.
Alderman Cubitt sentenced her to imprisonment
with hard labour, for six weeks.

Mr. Hogarth, of 1, Stepney-green, appeared to a
summons charging hiin with having refused to pay
a cabman, named James Goodwin, his legal fare.
The complainant said—On the 3d inst. I was en-
gaged by the defendant at Mile-end-gate to go to
Stepney-green, to take up. I then proceeded to
Fresh-wharf, London-bridge. There were five per-
sons and two packages. My claim is—distance Is.
6d. ; 3 persons, ls. 6d. • luggage, 4d. ; 40 minutes'
detention at the two plates, ls. ; the total being 4s.
4d. I demanded this sum of the defendant, who re-
fused to give me more than 2s. He afterwards
offered me 3s. 4d. I offered to take 3s. 10d., al-
though my legal fare was 4s. 4d.
By the defendant—Although the entrance to
Fresh-wharf was blocked up, you detained me more
than half-an-hour after you had ascertained that
the steamer had started. You were talking to
your friends who came from the wharf.
J. Stephenson, another cab-driver, said—l was
hired at the same time as the complainant, and took
part of the luggage. We were detained by the de-
fendant nearly 40 minutes in Thames-street.
By the defendant—We were not ordered to drive
you to the wharf until we had waited 40 minutes.
Defendant—My answer to the charge is that
there was no detention other than was caused by
the block-up at Fresh-wharf.
He then called—

Mr. J. Hogarth, who said—l met the complain-
ant's cab at the entrance to the wharf. We waited
a very few minute's, as the cab could not go on to
the wharf: I went to the warehouse to get a man
to come up for the boxes, which occupied a few mi-
nutes more. The cab had arrived before I got to it.
The steamer having started, we stood and " rea-
soned" for a few minutes.

Alderman Cubitt—The question is what time you
took to deliberate as to what you should do after
you found that the steamer had departed ?
Witness—l do not think that more than eight
minutes were consumed in that way.
Margaret Callaghan, servant to the defendant,
said that the cab was at her master's door only
from five to ten minutes.

Alderman Cubitt—lt appears that 3s. 10d. was
the exact amount of the fare. The defendant gave
the complainant 2s. He will therefore have to pay
ls. 10d. to make up the proper fare, and the costs.
Defendant—How much altogether ?
Mr. Goodman (chief clerk)-Is. 10d. fare, 3s. the
cost of the summons, and 7s. 6d. the cost of the
witnesses.
The defendant paid the 12s. 4d.

BOW-STREET.—An elderly man,who said his
name was Henry
_Stokes, and gave an address at
which on inquiry he was found not to be known,
was charged with indecently assaulting a young
woman named Clarissa Long, servant to Mr. I. W.
Thurston, a baker in Bloomsbury-court.
The servant had been out walking with Mr.
Thurston's daughter, a little girl of 12 years of age,
and on returning about 7 o'clock in the evening
they complained that a gentleman had been fol-
lowing them. Mr. Thurston desired them to go
out again, and followed, to observe what occurred-.
He saw the prisoner approach them, and put his
arm round the servant's waist. He followed the
prisoner for some distance, and then gave kim in
charge.
Mr. Thuriton and the servant agreed in stating
that the prisoner had laid his hand on the latter in
an indecent manner, but this the prisoner denied.
He acknowledged that he tapped her on the shoul-
der familiarly, but alleged that he had done
_so in
consequence of her looking at him and laughing in
such a manner that he thou°ht she was a woman
of the streets. She had laughed at him in the same
manner when she passed him before.
Mr. Jardine said it was possible that the prisoner
might have been under such an impression, but a
man who mistook a respectable woman for a pros-
titute must take the consequences of conduct which,
however little a person of the latter class might ob-
ject to it, was a gross indignity to a person like the
complainant. He must pay 405., or be imprisoned
for 14 days.
The prisoner pail the fine and was discharged.

The following official re turn has been published
of the commercial movci vent. of the_ continental
part of the kingdom of N: yles during 1857. The
commerce with foreign countries amounted to
145,930,000 fr., of which 79,615,000 fr. were for
imports and 66,315,0000 fr. for exports. The for-
mer as compared with -1. 856 have increased 21
millions and the latter de creased 241 millions.
The diminution may be Orin cipally attributed to
the- prohibition to the expo' ; o.f:corn, and in a slight
degree to the effect of the commercial crisis. In
the above total of imports, I,lngland furnished for
29,425,000 fr. ; France, 1.C.J,83 o,ooofr. ; and Ame-
rica, 14,500,000 fr. ; the rem.ai nder being by Hol-
land, the Sardinian States, •ani 1 Spain. In the ex-
ports, England stands for 1€ ;,400,000fr.; France,
16,700,000. ; Russia, 12,0! ?5,(1100fr. ; and Austria,
11,945,000 fr. The principal articles of import are
raw cotton, cotton yarn, sugar , woollen and cotton,
wove goods, tobacco, coffee, •;.oal, silk goods, &c.
The exports consist of olive oil, raw, silk, mad-
der, raw wool, almonds, drie d fruits, and liquor-
ice. The total production of olive oil in the king-
dom of Naples in 1857 amou sited to 912,000 hec-
tolitres, valued at 67 millions of francs. During
the last few years considerabl e extension has been
given to manufactures in the kingdom, and a num-
ber of establishments have 1. 'peen formed both in
the neighbourhood of the ca• pital and in the pro=
vinces. The principal ones are for the manufac-
ture of cloth, printed claim !8, ribbons, silk goods,
carpets, paper, earthenware, &c. Most of the work-
men employed in those many ...factories are foreigners,
and the managers or forem c m either English, Ger-
man, or French. The shippi n.g movement of the port
of Naples in 1857, entries a i id departures as well as
the coasting trade included, was 4,892 vessels, mea-
suring together 635,075 1 tons. Out of the above
tonnage 407,768 tons belon., g to the Neapolitan flag.
