POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-('HIS DA E

MANSION-110r, SE.
ROBBERY Or AN EMPLOYEa.—Francis Ferris, a car-
penter's workman, in the employment of Mr. Gleston, of
Blackheath, builder, w',*,s charged with stealing 49 lbs. of
lead under the follo-,ving circumstances :
Policeman James Fawkes, C 112, deposed that on the
previous a'jernoon about three o'clock he saw the prisoner
in BP:steheap with a wonderfully bulky protruberance
411-but the body, and from the peculiarly stooping posture
in which, he walked suspected that he had something very
heavy Concealed in his trousers. Accordingly, he went
after him, tapped him on the shoulder, and asked him if he
had any lead about him, upon which the prisoner
said, "Yes, he had," and produced two small pieces from
his waistcoat pocket. Witness told him he had more than
that, and as he continued to persist in denying the fact,
witness took him to the police-station, where, on searching
his trousers he (witness) discovered a roll of lead, suspended
round the prisoner's body by a cord, which weighed no less
than 59Ibs. Upon subsequent inquiry, witness found that
the prisoner had been working at some old buildings, from
which he had no doubt stolen the lead ; and as the prisoner
had left his work at 12 o'clock, he must have carried the
lead about in his trousers for three hours.

Noah Geddes said he was time-keeper Sir Mr. Gleston at
some buildings which were being pulled down in Mincing-
lane, and that the prisoner had been at work there for
some weeks. He left the place at 12 o'clock the previous
day and did not return in the afternoon, but whether the
lead produced belonged to the premises or not witness could
not positively swear, although it was very likely.
The foreman of the plumbers working at the place also
examined the lead produced, but could not swear to it,
although it was of a description never used now, and re-
sembled some belonging to the buildings.
The prisoner said he left work at 12 o'clock to get his
dinner, and on his way back passed a house where a man
was at work who owed him 35., that man threw down the
lead to him, and told him to make his money of it, and he
took it away thinking it was all right.
The Lord Mayor told him it was all wrong, and sent him
to the treadmill for a month.

GUILDHALL.

THE FOLLY OF FLYING TO THE BOTTLE.—AIice Hatch,
a tall, handsome girl, about 20 years of age, was charged
with being drunk, and assaulting her employer, the pro-
prietor of Peele's Coffee-house.

Mr. Mackay, from Mr. Buchanan's, attended for the pri-
soner, And urged on her behalf that family matters of a
most unpleasant charactor had arisen, which excited the
prisoner, ;and induced her to fly for consolation to the "cup
that does ►tot soothe, but more inebriates." Not being used
to ardent liquor, she lost all control over herself, and was
certainly very violent to her employer. The worthy Alder-
man would recollect that the prisoner had been locked up
all night, and that was sufficient punishment for a girl evi-
dently moving in a respectable sphere of society. The pri-
soner exceedingly regretted having so foolishly forgotten
herself, and he (Mr. Mackay) hoped the Alderman would
not, for the sake of her future prospects, inflict any further
imprisonment or penalty.
The Alderman most kindly pointed out the folly of drunk-
enness, and hoped this would prove a warning to the pri-
soner. He would discharge her on this occasion, as her
employer had refrained from pressing the case.
Discharged accordingly.

PAINFUL CASE.—On Wednesday an interesting
looking little girl, about 16 years of age, was brought before
the North Shields bench, charged with attempting to com-
mit suicide. It seems that on Monday afternoon, abDut
three o'clock, as Mr. Charlton, clockmaker, was pulling
down the narrow in a boat, he observed a bonnet on the
water, and near to it the body of a little girl, floating. He
immediately got the girl into the boat and pulled to the
shore, and fortunately, though she was quite unconscious
for some time, she recovered. The girl, who was placed in
the dock on Tuesday morning, was Sarah Gilchrist, daugh-
ter of a keelman, residing at St. Anthony's. She had been
a domestic with Mrs. Elsdon, of Linskill-street, and some
unpleasantness had arisen with her sister, who had told her
her father would beat her. The father,
who is married a
second time, was in court with his wife, but they denied
any intention of offering violence to her. The girl had
walked into the water in front of Percy-square, and when
picked up was about 15 yards from the shore, and about 30
yards above the lower buoy. The poor creature had had a
marvellous escape. The magistrate spoke a few kind words
to her, and she was allowed to go home with her parents.

BRADFORD.

PRICE 4D• STAMPED,

VOL UNTEER CORPS.

A movement was commenced in Bradford about
a fortnight ago with a view to the raising of a
volunteer rifle corps, and so far it has been deci-
dedly- successful. The mayor of. the borough, the
leading merchants and manufacturers, and many of
the resident gentry have taken the matter up
heartily, and, though the canvassers appointed have
been at work a comparatively shu:t time, the suc-
cess they have met with leaves no doubt whatever
of the speedy accomplishment of the object con-
templated. Already a.list of close upon 100 volun-
teers has been obtained by three or four gentlemen
occupied in the canvass, and the names of 80 gen-
tlemen who are anxious to aid the Movement have
been sent, along with the list of volunteers, to the
Mayor, who has signified his intention to convene
a public meeting on the question, to be held early
next week. In addition to the Mayor, the Rev.
Dr. Burnet., vicar of Bradford, the borough mem-
bers of Parliament, and the county and borough
magistrates; whose replies to the applications made
to them have been received, have given their coun-
tenance and promised their support to the design,
and should the Lord Lieutenant of the. West
Riding sanction the Schethe, there is every pro-
bability, from the alacrity with which volunteers
have come forward, of ,four companies of some-
thing like 60 riflemen each, being formed at
Bradford without delay, with a fair prospect of the
strength of each company being increased ultimately
to the full tempTanent of 100.

attempts to improve education in Ireland all classes woul I
unite to preserve and perpetuate the present system, whiel

notwithstanding some defects, had worked admirably, an
was one of the greatest boons which this country ever coL,
ferred on Ireland.
Mr. CARDWELL considered that there should be, a
better provision made for schoolmasters in Ireland, but t
present that would be impossible. He reminded hon. mem
bers that the vote was merely a stipend to aid the object c f
national education in Ireland, and he assured the how- •
that the Government would attend to whatever suggestion;
were made to them, and if discussions were conducted ii j
the same dispassionate manner that characterised the pre-

for the occasion, and created as much laughter as on the►
first night of its production. The floral ovation must have

This preparation is one of the benefits which the science of
modern chemistry has conferred upon mankind ; for, during
the first twenty years of the present century to speak of a
cure for the Gout was considered a romance; but now the
efficacy and safety of this medicine is so fully demonstrated,
by unsolicited testimonials from persons in every rank of life,
that public opinion proclaims this as one of the most im-
portant discoveries of the present age.
These Pills require no restraint of diet or confinement
during their use, and are certain to prevent the disease
attacking any vital part.

STRAND THEATRE.

I`llsB M. Oliver took her benefit at this pretty and well-
:conducted theatre on Saturday last. The house was
owded, and the front rows of the dress circle were con-
.rted into stalls. The effective little farce of the " Bonnie
-1.18. Wife " which owes its great success and popularity
rnaim
Ll.y to the admirable acting of Miss Oliver, was revived
the occasion, and created as much laughter as on the
Wight of its production. The floral ovation must have

RIPPOPOTAMO-INFANTICIDE AT THE
JARDIN DES PLANTES.

Netwithstanding all the prepare tions which had
been made, the hippopotamus born a few days back
died the night before last. The birth took place in
the water. The female by her movements signified
a desire to go into the basin, and the moment the
4°r was open she plunged in, and immediately after
II he was delivered under water, and the little one in-
stantly came to the surface, and began to swim
about On the former occasion the female hippopota-
llue repulsed her offspring, would never let it suck
or come near her, and in pushing it away violently
inflicted a wound which caused its death. This
tune everything appeared to be gong on more
yours ris
favourably. The mother gave nourishment to the
g one, and allowed it to lie on her back and
neck, according to the habit of those aquatic ani-
-11144. She also remained contantly in the water
instead of as usual frequently leaving it. For a
space of abouty forty-three hours the two animals
:lever' quitted the water. The day before yester-
bay the little one began to walk in and out of the
I,asin. It fed well, and was visibly growing.
''hring the night, however, the mother was seized
With a sudden fit of rage and attacked it. "It is
an extraordinary fact," says M. I. G. St. Hilaire,
" that the females of those mammiferous animals
abandon their young, ill-treat, and even devour
thorn. But it is almost without example that when
ththe Mother has adopted the young one• and given
osek, it should do so. It is true, however, that'
is no animal more irascible and brutal than
the hippopotamus." The event having occurred
under water and in the night, the keeper was not
able to give a very full account of what took place,
but the results ere but too clear. The mother must
have seized the young one by the stomach in her
formidable jaws, as five deep marks of her teeth are
-visible, and she must also have attacked it with her
Lusk) which pierced the left breast into the lungs.
Two young ones having been forth since the animals have been aalready brought
t the Jardin des
Plantes, hopes are entertained that in fourteen
Mouths more there may be a third, and it is
now evident that the m other cannot be dep.as
ended
°n to nourish her offspring, care will be
taken to
immediately remove the offspring and bring it up
by artificial means.
