POLICE IN'T'ELLIGENCE.

MANSION- HO USE.

Yesterday the Clerk of tite\\aternen's Company waited
upon the LORD MAYOR in the name of the Company, to
request that his Lordship would direct the City Solicitor
to prosecute the Captain and pilot of the Adelaide steam-
vessel, for having run down the small vessel in the Thames
a few days ago, and destroyed the lives 'of two fellow-
creatures. The state of the funds of the Company wero
such, the Clerk said, that the expenses of the prosecution
could not be defrayed without considerable prejudice to the
numerous objects who had established claims.
The LORD MAYOR replied that he felt no hesitation at
all to comply with the request, for the purpose of manifest-
ing his determination to use all the means in his power to
check the evil which bad been so long and so bitterly com-
plained of. He regretted that he was scarcely seated in
the civic chair when an application was made to him to
prosecute for manslaughter. It was but a moment before
that he was applied to on behalf of several poor fishermen
whose nets had been torn to pieces by the steamers, and he
had directed the water-bailiff to inform the persons who
complained of the injury to apply for recompense to the
proprietors, and, if refused, to summon them to the Man-
ion House.

A gentleman requested the LORD MAYOR'S attention to
a
refusal
uponthe
provisionspart of ala
o f one of theta
Act of
City police
Parliament,
act ac-
cording
li e considered to have a very useful tendency. He
which
to the
had the day before seen a brutal fellow belabour a poor
dog in a most shocking manner about the body with a thick
stick or cudgel. It was in vain that remonstrances were
used. The fellow, who began to beat the dog in the
Borough, continued to beat it until he reached the city of
London, when it completely sunk under the infliction. If
he (the complainant) had seen a constable in the Borough,
he would have given the inhuman ruffian into custody ; but
he walked over London-bridge before he could find an officer.
When he did find one, and when he represented that a long-
continued series of cruelties had been exercised upon the
dog, the policeman, to his surprise, refused to take the ac-
cused party into custody, or to interfere at all in the busi-
ness, as he had not seen the blow struck. His (the com-
plainant's) object in appealing to the Lord Mayor on this
occasion was that the City police might at once be set
right on a point of no small importance to the cause of
humanity.
The Loan MAYOR said that the Act, which was
amended by the sth and Gth of William IV., cap. 59, cer-
tainly warranted the policeman in the refusal to take the
offender into custody ; but be apprehended that it was not
generally known that the latter Act gave an officer the
power to apprehend persons guilty of cruelty upon the tes-
timony of another. He should take care that the police
should act accordingly.

HATTON.GARDEN.
Yesterday, John &His was brouezt before Mr. ROGEBB,
under the following circumstances :
A policeman stated that at eleven o'clock the night be-

PRICE 71).

fore he saw the prisoner in Castle-street, Bloomsbury,
knock down a woman, and then kick her in a most shock-
ing manner. Witness secured him as quickly as possible,
and took him to the station house. He had great difficulty
in preventing a number of persons who had witnessed the
prisoner's brutality from maltreating him.
Mr. ROGERS asked if the woman was in attendance to
charge the prisoner with the assault? Policeman—l have
not seen her, your Worship, since I locked the prisoner up.
Mr. ROGERS (to the prisoner)—What have you to say
for yourself? Prisoner-7h° woman is my wife ; and I
don't see that the officer had any business to interfere
with us. _ _

Mr. ROGERS—Your wife, you wretch! Is that the rea-
son why you should murder her ? Prisoner—She came
to me at nine o'clock, when I was taking my pint and pipe
in a public house, and wanted me to go home.
Mr. ROGERS—WeII, was there any harm in that ?
Prisoner—l consider so. I was not to be taken out of a
public-house when she thought proper. It was not my
time to leave it, and because I would not go home with
her, she pushed me and run out of the house, and I fol-
lowed her and knocked her down.

Mr. ROGERS—WeII, I never met with such a remorse-
less ruffian ! How long have you been married you brute?
Prisoner—Only two weeks.
Mr. ROGERS—And how old are you ? Prisoner—
Nearly 22.
Mr. ROGERS—What a happy prospect you and your
wire must have! Perhaps you may live together 50 or 60
years, end a wretched life you will lead, if we are to
judge from your rascally and unmanly conduct in this
instance.
The policeman said he believed the defendant would
have killed his wife if no one had interfered. Her head
was frightfully cut.
Mr. ROGERS—I have no doubt of it ; be seems hardened
enough for anything.
Prisoner—l wasn't going to let her order me as she liked.
Mr. ROGERS—HeId your tongue, do. You swore to
your Maker to protect her, and if you so soon violate your
marriage vow, what is to become of her?
The prisoner looked sullen, and muttered something.

Mr. ROGERS—Turn him out of the office, and send him

about his business. If his conscience does not tell him the
wrong he has done, 1 am sure no words I can utter will
impress it upon his mind.

LISBON.

(From a Morning Correspondent.)

LISBON, OCT. 31, 1835.

I am assured that 13 more peers have been created,

the following noblemen, who were all minors during Don
Mir-tiers time, being of the number—viz. Marquises Cas-
tilho Melhor, Niza, and Abrantes, Counts Ribeira, Rio
Major, Rezende, and Vianna, and the names of no less
than 18 individuals, who are stated as having had titles
conferred upon them, are mentioned ; one of them is M.
Jose Joaquim Gomez de Castro a gentleman who is ge-
ntrally supposed to have realized upwards of half a million
sterling in various speculations within the last three years,
and who is at this present moment. a candidate for the
representation of the city of Oporto in the Cortes. Thirty-
three gentlemen are likewise reported to have received
the honour of Knight Commanders of several orders, with
the prerogative of " Fidalgos da Casa Real ;" but none of
these appointments, or many former ones, have yet been
arn mneed in the official journals. Some of the nomina-
tions arc so very extraordinary, that some parties appear
anxious to come forward and declare to the public that they
have not received or sought any titles, honours, &c.
Her Majesty's marriage is now spoken of as near at
hand by the people about the palace, as well as by those
near the public departments. One day next week is al-
ready named by these persons as the one on which the
Queen is to be married by proxy to the Prioce of Saxe
Coburg ; yet it is supposed by most people that all the
difficulties have not been overcome, and that the said
marriage, although a very probable event, is still a doubt-
ful one.
I was exceedingly surprised upon finding out that there
is a regular recruiting going on here among the Gallegos,
by an Englishman, for the purpose of transporting them to
Jamaica in order to supply the place of such of the
free negroes as refuse to work in the plantations.
Ninety of thcm sailed the other day, and the British
bark, Dale, of 458 tons, R. Burton master, is now load-
ing '250 more. They are engaged at the rate of eight
or ten Spanish dollars per month, and• the ignorant crea-
tures believe that they are going to work upon a variety
of estates which are very near Great Britain, and where
the climate is delightful, &c. They will, however, prove
a great acquisition to the Jamaica planters, because they
are a healthy, strong, sober, honest, and hard-working set of

men.
No sales of national property have been brought forward
this week, to the no small disappointment of the public, but
some good lots are in the next week's list ; it is a pity that
the Government does not appear more anxious to meet
the present anxiety which is evident abroad for these
kind of purchases ; meantime the certificates receivable
in payment of the same continue giving way in price,
and only from 47i to 48 per cent. cash could be ob-
tained this day. Independent of the displeasure evinced
by the public against the Government for the private
cash sales, reported to have been made, of the Leizirias
de Riba Tejo, another cause operates towards the con-
tinued fall of these documents or securities, viz., the
refusal on the part of Ministers to pay the montepios,
or widows' pensions, from November last year to August
in the present one,—say, nine months ; the former and
subsequent payments have been made, but as to the
nine months, the parties interested are told that the Go-
vernment cannot pay them at present, which is the more
surprising, because the amount is not large. Marshal Sal-
danha and Captain Jervis are the Ministers in whose de-
partments this has taken place ; but, although the other
Ministers have been appealed to, no favourable results have
yet been obtained.
An order has been issued by the Minister of Justice to
the Bishop of Aveiro, desiring bins to adopt such measures
as he may deem most expedient for uniting two or more pa-
rishes into one, where the small number of parishioners in
each will allow of its being so done without any inconve-
nience, by which means the number of priests will be re-
duced, and a proportionate saving will be realized for the
country ; of course no alteration can take place in the rural
parishes, but it will be of great service in the cities, large
towns, and even some of the villages ; a similar order has
been sent to the other bishops throughout Portugal.
The following is worthy of being'known in England :—A
gentleman, a man who is very well off, a British subject re-
siding in Portugal, is at the present moment using his best
endeavours in order to prove that he is a Portuguese and
not a British subject ; what on earth can induce the indi-
vidual in question to divest himself of that which is ge-
nerally considered throughout the world as man's greatest
qualification, that of being an Englishman, is what I have
not been able to find out. How many of our good folks
at home will wonder at this !
I am assured that Lord Howard de Walden has received
instructions from our Ministers at home to claim from the
Portuguese Government the restitution of the British ship
Echo or its value, on the plea of its having been improperly
condemned by the Lisbon Admiralty Court some 21 or 22
months since. This vessel put into Vianna, at that time in
the possession of the Miguelites, in consequence of having
sprung a leak, and not for the purpose either of landing or
taking in a cargo.

Nov. 5, 1835.

There are no accounts yet of the entry of any of the
Portuguese auxiliary force into Spain, and I hear from very
good authority that M. Mendizabal calls upon this Govern-
ment to increase the number to 10,000. 300 British, out
of the 1,130 or 1,200 foreignerS just raised here for the
Spanish service, are expected to embark early next week
for Barcelona ; but I regret to say that these Ministers
refuse to comply with the terms of the contract under
which all these poor fellows came out here to serve under
Don Pedro, in spite of Colonel Dodging's very persevering
efforts on their behalf, and they are attempting to send
them away with only one-sixth of their due.
We are now told that her Majesty's marriage, by proxy,
will not take place till one day next month, and that the
negotiator of the same, Count Lavradio, may be expected
here in the course of a very few days. The various reports
and even assertions upon this important subject are so very
contradictory, that one is at a loss which to credit or dis-
credit most. Her Imperial Majesty the Duchess of Bra-
ganza is on the eve of removing to the Palace of Bem-
poste, from whence the Infanta Donna Isabel Maria moved
yesterday to the small Palace near Ajuda, in Aorder to
leave it for her illustrious relative ; the change from the
Necessidades must be an agreeable one, because I know
from most unquestionable authority that her Imperial
Majesty and the Queen are hardly upon speaking terms,
and often do not exchange a word during 48 hours, her
Most Faithful Majesty having bcen worked upon by the
Camarilla until she has conceived a very great dislike, bor-
dering on hatred, towards her lamented father's most cxem•
plary widow. The said Camarilla is now reported to have

respecting the impolicy of renewing any commercitviolent
with us, and gives insertion, in its support, to the int7tYeiT,
with 270 signatures, presented to her Majesty soma`
since, against any new treaty. The Duke of Palmella'sV*7
to the memorial is rather curious, as he avoids giving a
clear and distinct answer. His Grace is made to say—
" Up to the present moment no proposal had been received
from the British Government, and that he had instituted a
consultive committee, composed of merchants and manu-
facturers, to hear their opinion on the expediency.or other-
wise of a new treaty with England." Would it not have
been more candid and more dignified to have told these
Gentlemen the honest truth, that Portugal could not well
do without a friendly treaty with us, and that it was now in
course of being realized?
His Majesty's ship Tweed returned on the 2d, hut is
still in quarantine, although I am happy to say that all the
ship's company are now in good health. The Liverpool
steamer, from Gibraltar and Cadiz, arrived on the 2d,
bringing 19 passengers, and as much oil as she had room
for, bound to this place. She starts this moment for
Oporto and London with passengers and a large quantity
of fruit. The Portuguese cutter Scorpion entered the
Tagus on the 2d, from visiting the Portuguese ships of war
lying at and near Genoa. The Lord of the Isles, Portu-
guese schooner, sailed for Oporto on Tuesday, conveying
73 passengers, Baron Renduff and the Deputy Pestanha,
both on an electioneering trip, being of the number ; she is
expected back in the course of the day or early to-morrow
morning, and is appointed to take 300 of the troops raised
for the service of the Queen of Spain to Barcelona. The
Portuguese bark San Gualter, in 61 days from Rio, has
brought M. M. A. Galvao, the new Brazilian Minister, to
the Court of London as a passenger.
The accounts from Madrid and the south of Spain con-
tinue to be highly satisfactory. We hear from Madrid that
the secret agent which this Minister for Foreign Affairs had
sent thither, received a hint to quit from the Spanish Gover-
nment, and that he left on the 31st ult., on the same private
mission to Paris.
