POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MANSION-HOUSE.

DARING ROBBERY.—James Pagdon and Wm. Bromley,
two young men, were charged before Mr. Alderman Finnis
with stealing a leather hamper containing patterns of
woollen goods, the property of Lewis Moir, a commercial
traveller, from the passage of Mackie's Hotel, Ironmonger-
lane.

Police-constable Whitney, No. 98, said that yesterday
afternoon ho was in company with Green, a brother officer,
in Friday-street, and he saw the two prisoners and another
man, not in custody, loitering about, and he and Greer
followed them through Wood-street to Ironmonger-lane.
Pagden was carrying a bag over his shoulder, which he
gave to the man not in custody. They stopped oppJsite
Mackie's Hotel, and Pagden and Crawley went into the
passage, and almost immediately after came out with the
hamper in question. When they reached Gresham-
street Green rushed up and stopped them, and
Pagden threw the case at witness. Crawley ran away
with the other man not in custody, and they were followed
by Greer. He took Pagden to the station, where he gave
a false address at St. John's-square, Clerkenwell, where his
mother was living, but where he had not been for two
mouths. Ho knew nothing of him, but he had some know-
ledge of Crawley, which induced him to watch the pri-
s• MTS.

Police-constable W. Greer, 280, corroborated the evidence
of Whitney, and said he took the prisoner into custody. On
searching him at the station he found on him Gs. in silver
and two knives; and on Crawley some coppers and a knife.
He knew Crawley, who had been convicted of stealing an
umbrella, and was sentenced to six months in the House
of Correction at Holloway. The lady to whom the pro-
perty belodged took an interest in the prisoner, whom she
visited at Holloway, and got into a situation on his release,
in which ho remained only a short time.
James Brown, a porter at Alackie's Hotel, deposed to
having seen the hamper in the passage about half-past 3
o'clock.

Mr. Moir identified the property as being his, and also to
the hamper being deposited at the hotel at 10 o'clock in the
morning.

The prisoners wore remanded for a week in order that
the officers might endeavour to apprehend the man who
had escaped, and who was known to Green.

BOW-STREET.

In reference to the case of George Andrews, who was
yesterday placed at the bar of this court, charged with
obtaining goods by false pretences from Messrs. Thresher
and Glenny, of the Strand, the prisoner gave his address at
the Somerset Hotel, Strand. Mr. J. W. Curran, the pro-
prietor of that establishment, requests us to state that no
such person has been staying at the hotel, neither had any
goods been taken in for him. Mr. Amery, the witness who
gave evidence on the occasion, was reported to have stated
that the goods were sent to the Somerset Hotel, which was
a mistake. The goods, we believe, were ordered to be
forwarded to an hotel at Margate.

THE CHOLERA.

THE METROPOLITAN VISITING SOCIETY AND
THE MANSION-HOUSE COMMITTEE.

Yesterday afternoon a conference, adjourned
from Wednesday, the 19th inst., took place between
the representatives of the Metropolitan Visiting Re-
lief Association, of which the Bishop of 'London is
president, and the Mansion-house Committee, for
the purpose of considering the best means of unit-
ing the two funds, so as to enable the administra-
tors of both to work satisfactorily together in pro-
viding for the relief, permanent and otherwise of
the large number of young persons who have been
made orphans by the cholera. Lord Ebury pre-
sided. Sir Mordaunt Wells said that since the last
meeting he, on the part of the Mansion-house Com-
mittee, and Mr. Tilson, on the part of the Metropo-
litan Visiting Society, had had consultations, and
had found that the Mansion-house Committee had
505 orphans to provide for, and the Metropolitan
Visiting Society 510, making together 1,015. Ile
and Mr. Tilson had gone together through the lists,
and they had struck off all those they supposed not
to be properly chargeable to either fund. He then
thought that, considering the whole of the circum-
stances, each fund might maintain au independent
course of action, a plan all the more advisable, he
thought, considering the mixed character of each
committee. Even then there would remain the very
important question of orphanswhich each committee
must necessarily take up. During that day 19 cases
had come under his own consideration in connection
with the Mansion-house Committee, and these
could not therefore be included in such a final settle-
ment as he intended to suggest that day. lie pre-
sumed that independent of the 1,015 orphans he had
mentioned there might be 60 or 80 more in connec-
tion with each society, and the list of their names
being sent by one committee to the other might be
dealt with hereafter. If they did not now deal with
the lists which had already been prepared, he feared
they would never come to an end of their work.
Considerable discussion took place, and ultimately
the following resolutions were adopted :—'• That the
cordial thanks of this committee be rendered to Sir
Mordaunt Wells and Mr. Tilson for the great trouble
they have taken in examining and classifying the
list of orphans now laid before the committee, and
that the proposition of dividing the lists into two
portions as equal as they can be for the separate ac-
tion of the two committees be adopted. That no ap-
plication for re7ief by cholera orphans, children of
parents already deceased, be received after Oct. Ist,
and that it be left to Sir Mordaunt Wells and Mr.
Tilson to adjudicate upon any claims that may arise
in the interim, and to divide the sane between the
two funds."

A Melancholy Series of Casualties.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—Last Friday afternoon a
widow named Ann Brown, a bleachfield worker at Calder-
bank, Lochwinnoch, near Glasgow, while standing on the
edgo of a boiler containing boiling ley, into which she was
emptying some of the cold liquid, slipped and fell into the
cauldron. Her screams brought s me of the workers to het
assistance, and she was taken out almost insensible.
DEATII AT A RAILWAY STATION OF A MAN UN-
KNOWN.—On Monday an inquest was held at Crofton,
near Wakefield, relative to the death of an unknown per-
son who fell down dead on the platform of the station at
that place, on Sunday night, just after having taken a
ticket for Wakefield. From inquiries ho had previously
made of a porter, it seemed that ho intended to take the
Barnsley train from Wakefield. fie was attired in a re-
spectable suit of black. In his fob a silver watch, made
by Taylor, of Pontefract, and which had seemingly
been lately repaired by Rarnsden, of Wakefield, was found.
A hymn-book, inscribed with the name of William Gowan,
and a printed bill respecting the Cawthorn Wesleyan Re-
form Chapel anniversary, word found in the deceased's
pocket, but there was no evidence as to who ho was. Ho
appeared about 45 years of age. The jury returned a ver-
dict of "Died from natural causes."

FATAL FALL FROM A CHURCII.—On Tuesday
afternoon John Nelson, foreman to Mr. llarrison, builder,
whilst superintending the work connected with the repairs
of St. John Micklegate, York, stepped from the roof through
a window upon a plank which had been fixed with others
under the tower. Thb plank gave way, and he fell to the
floor with great force. Although taken up alive he died
shortly afterwards.

A CLERK KILLED AT A RAILWAY CROSSING.—
On Monday evening Mr. James Smith, bookeeper, in the
employ of Messrs. Day, Nephew, and Sons, Dowsbury,was
passing over the Dark-lane crossing, when a train from
Heckmondwike dashed over him, cutting off both his legs,
and otherwise mutilating the body. The deceased was a
married man, and has left four children.
FATAL ACCIDENT TO AN OMNIBUS DRIVER.--
An inquest was held at Manchester on Tuesday on the
body of William Tomlinson, aged 52, the driver of an omni-
bus. On Saturday last, whilst the deceased was driving
past St. Peter's Church, ho was observed to slip off his
seat, and fall on to his head. Ho was taken to the infir-
mary, where he died. Deceased was in the practice, while
whipping his horses, of leaning over the footboard, and it
is supposed that his foot slipped on this occasion whilst he
was so doing, the footboard being in a wet condition.
Verdict—Accidental Death.
MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A MERCHANT'S CLERK.
—On Tuesday an inquest was held at the Vestry Hall,
Fair-street, Horsleydown, on the body of Mr. John
Hargan, aged 37 years, a clerk employed at a wharf in
Upper Thames-street. On Sunday morning deceased was
seen by a friend in Itotberhitho in a state of intoxication.
This friend offered to see him home, but was obliged to
leave him as he abused him for not lending him some
money. The body of the deceased was found in the river
near Pickle Herring Stairs, He had been drowned. The
jury, after a short consultation, returned the following
verdict :—That the deceased was found drowned in the
river Thames, but how he came into the said waters there
is no evidence to show.

ACCIDENTAL AND SUDDEN DEATIIS.—On Tues-
day an inquest was held at Paddington on the body
of Charles Moat, a navvy, who was killed by a ton of earth
falling on him while excavating a tunnel on the new Mid-
land Line near Kentish Town. A verdict of Accidental
Death was recorded.—The same day an inquest was held
at Drayton, on the body of Walter Hunt, aged 32 years.
The deceased was engaged on the third floor of a water-
mill putting corn into the hopper, when he fell against the
large rigger (a vertical wheel) which drives the machine,
and his head became entangled therewith. Although he
was released almost immediately, the pressure was so
great on the head and neck as to deprive him of life.
Verdict, Accidental Death. In the evening another inquest
was held on the body of Elizabeth Jane Roebuck, a
servant, aged 55, who fractured her skull by falling down
the area steps at the residence of Mr. Oliver, 37, Glouces-
ter-square, Hyde-park, on Sunday night last. A verdict
of Accidental Death was returned.—An inquest was also
held in Cow Cross-street, on the bOdy of James Burn, aged
4G, a harness maker. Deceased earned good wages, but was
in the habit of going "on the drunk" for several weeks.
The last of those fits of intemperance proved fatal. A
verdict was returned of Death from Disease of the Heart,
accelerated by intoxication.—The same coroner also held
an inquest at the Marylebone Workhouse on the body of
Margaret White, aged 55, an habitual drunkard for the last
20 years. On Friday night she drunk a quantity of rum,
and was found dead in bed on the following morning.
The jury returned a verdict of Death from Serous Apo-
plexy, accelerated by habits of drunkenness.

A CHILD THREE YEARS AND A HALF OLD SEN-
TENCED TO HARD LABOUR.-110 following circumstances
relating to a case disposed of at the head police-office,
Dublin, on Saturday last, have been communicated to us :
" Shortly after mid-day on Saturday, two children, named
Bryan—ono a girl aged eight years, the other, a boy, aged
three years and six months—were arrested by a police-con-
stable in Westmoreland-street for soliciting alms. They
were taken to College-street police-station, and charged in
duo course, and were then brought before the magistrate,
Mr. C. O'Donel, at the Lead police-office. The charge was
pro% ed, and the magistrate made his decision. That deci-
sion was, that the girl should undergo imprisonment in
Grangegorman Penitentiary for 14 days, and be kept to
hard labour ! and that the boy, 3i years old, should be sent
to Richmond Bridowell—be there de,t.iined for fourteen
days, and kept to hard labour ! The next questions were
—what clothes he should be dressed in, and to what Lard
work put ? Never contemplating that such a youthful
prisoner would bo sent to gaol, the board of superintend-
ence had made no provision in their wardrobe for him,
nor the inspectors-general defined what hard work was
suitable for his age. The result was that the humane
governor was obliged to procure slight articles of clothing
for the poor creature, and send him to the hospital ward
to be taken care of. Meanwhile the inspectors-general
have been communicated with, and by their instructions
the local inspector has this day forwarded to the Govern-
ment a report on the case, accompanied by a copy of the
magistrate's committal.—Dublin EVC7iing Mail.

Atlantic Telegraph Company.

An extraordinary general meeting of the directors and
shareholders of this company was held to-dai at the Lon
don Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the consideration of
the present position of the company, with a view of adopt-
ing measures to extinguish the amount now payable pre-
ferably to the Anglo-American Telegraph Company, viz.,
the sum of £125,000 a year and half the surplus profit be-
yond the eight and four per cent. to the preference and or,
dinary stock of the company.
The Hon. J. B. WoRTLEit occupied the chair, and,
in opening the proceedings, congratulated the meeting
.on the favourable circumstances, under which they now
met together. Formerly lie had had to encoUr.lgo the timid
and animate the strong to complete the great work they
had in hand, but now the task was simply finished, and
their perseverance was the theme of universal admiration.
The chairman then stated the steps proposed to be takeri
with respect to the financial position of the company, the
effort that was being made to reduce the charge of £2O per
message, and he then moved the following resolutions,
whichwero carried by the meeting :

" That the directors and shareholders of the Atlantic
Telegraph Company assembled at this extraordinary general
meeting, desire to convey to the commanders, officers, and
crows of the respective ships employed in the recent expe-
dition, and to the engineers and electricians, together with
their respective assistants, engaged in the laying of the
new cable, and in the restoration of the cable of 1865, their
earnest thanks and congratulations, and to express their
sincere admiration of the eminent nautical and scientific
skill and ability, in conjuction with inflexible courage and
patient perseverance, which have been displayed by all in
their several departments, and whereby the success of this
remarkable enterprise has been so satisfactorily realised."
" That the directors be, and they are hereby authorised
to issue for the general purposes of the Atlantic Telegraph
Company, the balance of the company's unissued capital to
the extent of £BOO,OOO, either as ordinary capital or as
second preferential capital, bearing such a rate of dividend
as the board may deem it necessary to attach thereto ; and
that the directors be. further authorised to issue the said
capital at such time, in shares of such amount, and on such
other conditions as may seem to them desirable for the in-
terests of the undertaking."
4" That the Directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Com-
pany be, and they are hereby authorised and requested to
apply to Parliament in the ensuing session for power to
increase the capital of the Company, with the consent of
the shareholders, from its present nominal amount of
£2,000,000, to anominal amount 'not exceeding'£s,ooo,ooo;
inclusive of the existing capital. And they are hereby
further authorised and requested_ to make similar applica-
tide for such other additional powers as may be deemed
advisable for the more convenient and successful carrying
out of the undertaking.

At the extraordinary general meeting to-day of
the shareholders of the English and Swedish Bank
the report presented states that the gross profits
for the half-year, including a sum of £2,492 4s. 10d.
brought forward from the last account, amount to
£26,171 13s. ld., which, after writing off ascertained
bad debts, deduction of current expenses, and rebate
of interest, leaves a net profit of £12,589 18s. 7d.
The amount 'of calls outstanding on the 30th June
was £22,420. This has been reduced by subsequent
payments to £5,075, and the directors have the in-
tention to forfeit all shares on which the call shall
remain unpaid on Sept. 30. The recent financial crisis
in England, which also extended to Sweden, was na-
turally not without its influence on the business of the
bank, and in consequence a portion of its funds is for
the moment unavailable. The amount inoperative
does not however exceed the sum of £140,000,
against which the bank holds securities. The
realisation of these securities. must necessarily be
a work of time, and until this has taken place
it is impossible to state with certainty what pro-
portion of the above amount may be ultimately
irrecoverable, but the directors, after a most
careful investigation of the several accounts, beg
to express their opinion, supported by that of
their general manager in Sweden, that under the
most unfavourable eventualities at present to be
apprehended, the utmost loss cannot exceed
£100,000; while, on the other hand, the altered state
of the money market will, in all probability,
considerably diminish this estimate by enhancing
the value of the securities in question. Mean-
while the directors regret that under these
circumstances, the payment, on this occasion,
of an interim dividend cannot be made. It there-
fore becomes the duty of the directors to state
what, in their judgment, is the best zourse to pur-
sue ; and they propose and recommend to reduce
the working capital of the Bank, by writing off £5
per share from the £25 now called up, thus reducing
the paid-up capital from £25 to £2O per snare.
The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
to this day, are in round figures as under :

COUNT BAcioccHr, who died on Sunday night, at
the age of. 63, was the son of Count Francis
Baciocchi, colonel of the Noble Guards of the Grand
Duchess of Tuscany, Elisa Bonaparte, who was married to
Prince Baciocchi, his relation. Ile was a senator, first
chamberlain of the Emperor, superintendent-general of
theatres, grand officer of the Legion of Honour, and deco-
rated with most of the European orders. 'Mad no less
than 18 grand cordons. From a biographical sketch of him
in La France of the other evening we take the subjoined
extract:—" The Empress gave him many proofs of affec-
tion, and recently, before her departure from Biarritz, she
paid him a last visit. He wept, he who was little apt to
weep, when the Sovereign and the young Empress, with
touching effusion; pressed him in their arms. He wept
again when relating it to his doctor. On the morrow of that
visit the Empress, by an act of unexampled favour, sent to
him to keep in his room so long as his illness should last—
as she had kept in hers at the moment of the birth of the
Imperial Prince—a jewel which is assuredly the most pre-
cious of the Crown of France. This is a reliquary, the
skilful work of Froment Meurice, in which is seen a piece
of the Swaddling clothes of our Saviour, a portion of the
Virgin's veil, a fragment of St. John the Baptist's wind-
ing-sheet, and in the middle, suspended in the manner of
a pendulum, Charlemagne's talisman which the magistrates
of Aix-la-Chapelle gave to Napoleon I.; finally, a frag-
ment of the bone of the great Carlovingian's right arm.
The talisman, of the dimensions of a 5f.-piece, is formed
of an aqua marina, which contains, and through which one
perceives, two fragments of the true Cross, themselves
crucially disposed. The letter which accompanied the
reliquary, and which the count showed only to a few pri-
vileged friends, is a monument of fervent piety and of
lofty reason, in the most elevated form, worthy of an Em-
press of:Franco." According to the Count'4 with 'no
funeral -honours will be done him in Paris ;'he is -to be
buried in a patrimonial chapel at Ajaccio, his birthplace.
A PARTY OF ENGLISH DROWNED IN THE NILE.—
A letter from Alexandria in the Massager du Midi states
that an accident lately took place on the railway bridge
over the Nile at Kafres-Zaiat from the bursting of a boiler,
by which seven persons were killed and a great many
wounded. g, I have also," says the writer, "to mention the
catastrophe to an English family, whose boat was capsized
on the Nile, where all were drowned except 9, yOung girl
rescued by an Arab. Since then the friends of the victims
have been strenuously demanding that search should be
made for the discovery of the bodies, but the Arabs have
shown a marked reludance to act, and the bodies of the
father and gone of the female servants were brought up in a
net without their aid. Two Greeks afterwards found the
.corpse of another servant on the opposite bank. A finger
and the extremities of both ears had been cut off to obtain
possession of the gold ornaments. Just as the body was
being buried a great number of Arabs came down and
forced the Greeks to throw it back again into the river to
prevent discovery of the mutilation. You may imagine
that the English here are greatly irritated at all this, and
their Consul has demanded prompt and severe justice from
the Viceroy. The cheick of the village where the act was
committed is personally responsible, and has offered a large
sum to prevent the affair being followed up ; but the Eng-
lish have rejected all proposals of that nature, and it is
hoped that the Government will continue inflexible."
HORSEFLESH seems—horrible to relate—to be
becoming popular in Paris. According to the French cor-
respondent of the Standard a working man advertises that
he will offer a grand banquet at a place in the suburbs on
the 30th inst., at which nothing but horse will be con-
sumed. The menu is a curiosity. Horse-soup to begin
with ; saucisson de cheval to follow as a remove, then boiled
horse au naturel; horse ala mode, as an entree; for vege-
tables, beans fried in horse oil ; horse for a roast ; and,
finally, salade a l'huile de cheval. This equine repast is to
bo open to all who choose to pay two francs—" ladies ad-
mitted," adds the prospectus,

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

!NEWMARKET MIST OCTOBER MEETING.

WEDNESDAY.

The sport on Newmarket heathto-day was characterised
by every feature of an " off" occasion, the fields through-
out the running being generally of a moderate description
and the running of very little interest. During Tuesday
night the weather under Went another great change, and
rain fell early this morning, but although the clouds had a
threatening appearance, the rain kept off. in point of
attendance, also, there was a slight. diminution. The de-
monstration, which took place on Tuesday night in favour
,of Chepstow, was renewed this-morning as soon as there
was a meeting at the rooms, and as little as 7 to 1 was ac-
cepted about him. This had the effect of slightly depres-
sing the next favourites, Mathilde.and Brada.mante.- The,
latest quotations, however. on the important handicaps
will be found below. 'rho only incidents of the day calling-
for any remark was the success of Savernake over Ley-
bourne and Stmthconan in the Eighteenth Triennial, and-
his subsequent defeat by Knight of the Crescent, who took
a seven pounds maiden alloWauce. This advantage enabled
the latter to win very easily by three-quarters of a length."
Sovurnake not only. suffered defeat from " The Knight,'
but was beaten for second place by Lothario, and conse-
quent upon this performance the baron's horse came into
demand for the Cesarowitch, for which event, if this
running be correct, he must have an immense chance; but
Savernake is probably " settled" for the season, and his
form cannot be depended upon. 'A full return of the day's
rrcing is appended :

President Johnson's Tour.

o--

The Times Philadelphia correspondent writes as
follows of the President's late speeches :—" Ano-
ther potent reason why the President is losing
ground is his own indiscretion. During his tour
he has delivered a set of speeches to the public
which, it cannot be denied, lower his high office.
While his policy of Reconstruction is a wise one,
and should be supported by every patriotic Ameri-
can, the fact of supporting it does not imply con-
stant personal admiration of the President or of the
course he takes in advocating his policy. Some of
his addresses and messages have been of the highest
order, but since he left New York upon his present
journey and began travelling westward his style of
speaking has been most reprehensible. He seems
to have no adviser with him who points out the
error into which he has fallen. 'Forgetting the
dignity due to the office of President, 'be indulges
in low and scurrilous abuse, and blasphemous allu-
sions that would almost disgrace the vulgar and
notorious Parson Brownlow. He answers every
noisy fellow in the crowd who chooses to call out to
him, and the Radicals, delighted at this pro-
pensity, station impudent brawlers in every
audience, who' make it a rule to brow-
beat arid' annoy the President until, lashed
into frenzy, he begins the torrent of defamation they
are so anxious to provoke, and which injures him so
much in the estimation of the country: The injury
thus done hi-so much capital gained against his
policy, for the public think only that the President
is guilty of abusive and blasphemous language, for-
getting that Radical brawlers tempted him in the
first instance. By this_ course all the good effects
of his journey are neutralised, and 'at every town
and city he visits he finds a Radical mob prepared
to interrupt and annoy h At Indianapolis, on
Sept. 10, the President had the eminent good sense
to retire without making any address when he found
that the usual course of interruptions began, but the
mob soon began shooting each other, and one man
was killed and several wounded. The Conservative
journals, taking the alarm, are protesting against
the President's unwise course and urging him to go
home ; but at one city after another he makes his
ill-tempered speeches, and although his tour will be
ended by Sept. 15 (to-morrow), Andrew Johnson,
more than almost anything else, will be responsible
for the defeat of his policy at the October and No-
vember elections. It is sad to contemplate the evil
he has done himself, but the lesson he learns from it
will, it is hoped, prevent such scenes in the future."

STAG HUNTING IN DEVON AND SOMERSET.—
Some capital sport. has been enjoyed during the present
season in hunting the red doer on Exmoor and its borders.
The deer are plentiful, thanks to the sti:ct preservation of
Mr. Knight, M.P., who owns the moor, and to the means
adopted to prevent poaching. It is said that most of the
poachers have been induced to become gamekeeepers, by
which the dear here have been much increased. A few days
ago one of the most splendid runs for the season was en-
joyed byafield of between 300 and.4oo horsemen and horse-
women—for many ladies were prasent. A fine six-year-
old stag was hunted for several hours, Mrs. Browne, the
wife of a clergyman, and two other ladies being in at the
death.
