POLICE INTELLIGENCE, Jan. 31.

MANSION-HOUSE.—An old Italian named
Spiridione Luseo was charged with having stolen
two rolls of silk of the value of £8 belonging to
Messrs. Candy and Co:, foreign merchants, Wat-
ling-street. The prisoner pretended to be wholly
unacquainted with the English language, but find-
ing that he was not likely to gain anything by his
affectation of ignorance, dropped'it in a very short
time, and attended to all that was stated against him.
One of the clerks of the firm said—The prisoner
came to the warehouse this morning at a little be-
fore 9 o'clock, and I was directed to show him some
dresses. I had seen him frequently in the ware-
house when he came to look at goods ; but I had
observed that he departed upon such occasions with-
out purchasing anything. I suspected that he was
there with the intention of committing a felony, and
I requested him to wait until our karesmau should
arrive. left him standing near a pile of goods,
and as I turned round to speak to our buyer who
was entering the door I saw the prisoner in the act
of buttoning his coat over two flounce rolls of silk
of 18 yards each, the paper in which they were
wrapped sticking out under his chin. I told the
buyer what the prisoner had taken, upon which the
latter immediately took out the rolls and attempted
to put them down.
The Prisimer—No idea of thieving at all. I
simply took up the rolls to look at the pattern
marks on them, and the gentleman said I had at-
tempted to steal them.
The Lord Mayor—He says you distinctly put
the goods under your coat, and the moment you
found that you were observed you trjed to put
them down.

Prisoner (shaking his head, and smiling)—Not
at all ; not true, I assure you, my lord.
Policeman 46—When I took the prisoner into cus-
tody I found in his pocket £1 55., a watch, chain,
and seal, ten finger rings, and four keys. At the
station-house he said he had merely looked at the
goods.
I found at his lodings some goods similar
to those which have been produced, and with pat-
tern marks upon them, and if your lordship'will
remand him I have no doubt that other plundered
tradesmen will appear against him.

The Lord Maior—Prisoner, youmust go back to
prison for a week.
The prisoner—Oh! ha, ha! .Very well, I'll go.
James Brook, an old fellow, who was stated to
have been in custody five or six and twenty times
for theft, was again put to the bar. He had been
seen to steal a gentleman's whip out of a dog-cart.
The prisoner—A cabman told me that he would

SEVERN SALMON FISHERY.—The fishermen near
the Gloucester part of the Severn were successful during
the last few days, having captured some remarkably fine
fish. Two, each weighing 201bs. and 301bs. weight, were
taken near Gloucester en Wednesday night, and on Thurs-
day a magnificentfish, weighing 351b5., was caught at Mins-
terworth. The latter was exhibited yesterday at the shop
of Mr. Davis, in Westgate-street, and was afterwards for-
warded to the London market. The price which salmon is
now selling at is 3s. and 3s. 6d. per lb.

Returning to Chesterfield, we affirm that this
town, with its rapidly increaSing collieries and iron
works, making it the centre of, the iron district of
Derbyshire, and its teeming population, is exactly
the place hich ought in justice to be admitted to
a share in the representation.
Mr. Bright has been too intent in his fanatical
crusade against the landowners, and too bent on
his system of the centralisation of all political power
in the large town populations, to bestow a thought
on the claims of such a town as Chesterfield.
But there are statesmen who can rise above the
paltry injustice of class legislation, who will be
found, we doubt not, willing to attend to our rea-
sonable demands. We do not, therefore, despair of
seeing Chesterfield raised to the rank of an inde-
pendent borough, with an honest, intelligent, and
patriotic constituency.—Derbyshire Courier.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.—Every
person having an interest in domestic or farm animals
should obtain a supply of this celebrated and economical
food, which will prove invaluable during the approaching;
season. For keeping horses in good condition it is unequal-
led. Pigs fatten with surprising rapidity upon it, and their
flesh increases in flavour and value. Cowkeepers will find
great advantage in the increased quantity and improved qua-
lity of the milk during its use. All animals are benefitted by
it. A pamphlet on this interesting subject, accompanied by
Testimonials from the principal Nobility, Gentry, and Agri-
culturists, forwarded on application. In casks containing
448 feeds (measures enclosed), price 505., carriage paid to any

There was a fair supply of wheat from the farmers to-

THE EAST.

A Constantinople letter of the 19th Jan., in the
Gazette du Midi, says :—" Very stormy weather
has lately prevailed in the Black Sea and in the
Archipelago, and several casualties among ship-
ping have taken place. The Eugenio, a Neapolitan
vessel, has been wrecked near Caffa. The captain
and crew were saved with great difficulty, but the
vessel and cargo are totally lost. Three other ves-
sels, two English, the General Havelock and the
Elizabeth Anne, and a Norwegian, the Nork-Not-
Vtigs, went ashore near Odessa. The Dneiper,
belonging to theßussian Steam Navigation Company,
which went ashore in the Dardanelles on her way
from England to Constantinople„ has been totally
wrecked. The money onboard was saved but the cargo
lost. Mehemet-Ali Pacha, the Minister of Marine, has
just presented to the Divan a report on the state of
the Ottoman fleet for 1859. It will be composed of
two sailing line-of•battle ships of 84 guns, both in
good condition ; two screw liners of 72 guns ; two
of 92 guns with engines of 850 horse-powei; and a
screw frigate of 54 guns and 550 horse-power. These
vessels are well built and provided with good
machinery. In addition, there will be seven paddle
wheel frigates of 600 .horse-power each, which per-
formed essential services during the Crimean war ;
a corvette of 350-horse power, and also se'ven gun-
boats which are now employed in the surveillance
of the mouths of the Danube. There are also
about 40 smaller vessels employed in different
services among the Islands of the Archipe-
lago. The Minister has also announced that,
in addition to the vessels afloat, there are on the
stocks ono screw-liner of the first class, two screw
frigates of 60 guns each, and built on the best
French and English models ; two screw corvettes of
400 horse power each, five screw gunboats, four
large screw transports, and ten screw coastguard
vessels armed with heavy guns, and which, accord-
ing to the stipulations of the Treaty of Paris, are to
act as the police of the Black Sea. Independently
of keeping up these naval forces, the Turkish
Marine Department will continue the execution of
several important works in the ports of the empire."

amount of money as they may think proper, under
much more settled conditions, and pt an important
advantage, either in point of market price or of
accrued interest. Let the wary investor eschew
the speculative entrainment ; for he will gain by
waiting. Possibly he may even pick up at a greatly
reduced price some of fife stock pressed upon the
market by the original negotiatiors, who, in some
cases, seem not to scruple to get out of a scrape
upon the backs of those who have supported them.
" Promoters of public companies" may well claim
a distinct classification in the " Directory," a re-
gard be had to their number, complete organisa-
tion, acquaintance with high circles, and rising im-
portance in the commercial and financial world.
Their influence, however, is not a particularly be-
nign one; and when we regard the vast extension
which the spirit of gambling, as proved by the
mania for allotments, has acquired of late years
amongst all classes of the community, even amongst
those which would appear to be most exempt, tho
practical discouragement to " jobbing" involved in
the instances of disappointment above cited, forms
a partial set-off against the losses sustained.

EAST LANCASHIRE.

The directors of this company have decided on

teed stock, leaving a. balance of £235.

BROOK. AND ANOTHER V. ALTON.

Mr. Bovill, Q.C., resumed his argument in this part-
heard cause for the plaintiff in error. The plaintiff relies
on his patent for the manufacture of woollen fabrics by
perpendicular friction and rotatory motion, and beating,
which produces a glasse appearance on woollen thread.
The defendant opposed the patent, on the ground that he
had previously obtained a patent for manufacturing cotton
and linen yarn by a glutinous solution, which produced the
same glass() appearance in cotton thread and fabrics manu-
factured as the plaintiff's patent.

At the trial the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, but
the Court of Queen's Bench entered the verdict for the
defendant.

It is probable the arguments will occupy the whole of
his day.

DIVORCE COURT.

(Before the Lord Chancellor, Mr. Justice Wightman, and

Sir C. Cressitell.)
CAUSE. -REED V. REED AND DAVIS.

Dr. Wambey applied to the Court to allow supplemen-
tary evidence to be laid before the Court, in addition to the
evidence that was laid before the jury.
The defendant's brother, Patrick Thomas, was called
and examined, and proved the marriage of his sister with
the plaintiff ten years since, but he denied all knowledge of
the adultery. His sister, two years ago, lived at Swansea.
His, sister, Jane Reed or Thomas, was lawfully married to
the plaintiff, John Reed, ten years ago.

The Lord Chancellor considered that further additional
evidence should be produced, first, to prove the marriage,
and secondly, the adultery. Witness does not know
whether they lived happily together. He did not see them
live together. He went to the West Indies, and was ab-
sent about four years and a half. Plaintiff failed in busi-
ness, and took a. situation as a gentleman's servant. His
sister lived with Mrs. Webber in 1849, and afterwards at
West Cross with Dr. lianvers' mother.

Lord Chancellor—Have you any suggestions to make to
the Court, Dr. Wambey ?

Dr. Wainbey—l leave the case entirely in the hands of the
Court.

The Lord Chancellor decreed the dissolution of the mar-
riage, and ordered £2O in the Savings Bank to be given to
the surviving child of the marriage.

WEBER V. WEBER AND PAYNE.
Of consent of counsel for both parties this petition was dis-
missed with costs.

COULTHART V. COULTHART AND GOUTHWAIT.
Dr. Swabey, for the plaintiff husband, is now examining
witnesses to prove the marriage and adultery of the wife.
Miss Coulthart, sister of the plaintiff, is now being
examined.
The case will probably occupy the whole of this day.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE, .Tan. 31.

MANSION-HOUSE.—An old Italian named
Spiridione Luseo was charged with having stolen
two rolls of silk of the value of £8 belonging to
Messrs. Candy and Co., foreign merchants, of Wat-
ling-street. The prisoner pretended to be wholly
unacquainted with the English language, but find-
ing that he was not likely to gain anything by his
affectation of ignorance, dropped it in a very short
time, and attended to all that was stated against him.

One of the clerks of the firm said—The prisoner
came to the warehouse this morning at a little be-
fore 9 o'clock, and I was directed to show him some
dresses. I had seen him frequently in the ware-
house when he came to look at goods ; but I had
observed that he departed upon such occasions with-
out purchasing anything. I suspected that he was
there with the intention of committing a felony, and
I requested him to wait until our salesman should
arrive. I left him standing near a pile of goods,
and as I turned round to speak to our buyer who
was entering the door I saw the prisoner in the act
of buttoning his coat over two flounce rolls of silk
of 18 yards each, the paper in which they were
wrapped sticking out under his chin. I told the
buyer what the prisoner had taken, upon which the
latter immediately took out the rolls and attempted
to put them down.
The Prisoner--No idea of thieving at all. I
simply took up the rolls to look at the pattern
marks on them, and the gentleman said I had at-
tempted to steal them.
The Lord Mayor—He says you distinctly put
the goods under your coat, and the moment you
found that you were observed you tried to put
them down. _ .

Prisoner (shaking his head, and smiling)—Not
at all ; not true, I assure you, my lord.
Policeman 46—When I took the prisoner into cus-
tody I found in his pocket 55., a watch; chain,
and seal, ten finger rings, and four keys. At the
station-house he said he had merely looked at the
goods. I found at his lodings some goods similar
to those which have been produced, and with pat-
tern marks upon them, and if your lordship will
remand him I have no doubt that other plundered
tradesmen will appear against him.
The Lord Mayor—Prisoner, you must go back to
prison for a week.
The prisoner—Oh ! ha, ha! Very well, I'll go.
James Brook, an old fellow, who was stated to
have been in custody five or six and twenty times
for theft, was again put to the bar. He had been
seen to steal a gentleman's whip out of a dog-eart.
The prisoner—A cabman told me that he would

HAYWARD V. HAYWARD.

This case has already been before the Court. It
was a suit brought by the wife against her hus-
band for restitution of conjugal rights. On the
present occasion, affidavits were produced to show
that the petitioner, Mrs. Hayward, was now an
inmate of a lunatic asylum, and that the respondent
was defraying the expense of her maintenance
there. Under these circumstances, the direction of
the Court was asked as to what should be done with,
the petition.
The learned Judge said, of course it would be
impossible to decree a restitution of conjugal rights
when the lady was in a lunatic asylum. He should
therefore order the proceedings to be suspended,
and the payment of the alimony stayed for the
present.

TEA.--The market continues very firm, and prices havd
an upward tendency. Good common congou is quoted
13d. per lb.
SUGAR.—There has been a good demand for the strong
heavy qualities, and previous rates have been well sup-
ported. Other descriptions have shown little variation in
values. In the Refined Market a very limited business has
been done, previous prices being in most instances current.
COFFEE.—The market continues very firm, and all good
qualities realise former quotations.
RlCE.—lnferior descriptions have been in moderate de-
mand, at about late values, but the superior qualities are
inactive, and prices may be quoted rather lower.
CINNAMON.----The usual quarterly sales commenced yes..
terday, and prices generally were at an advance of about
ld. per lb. on those realised at the last public auctions.
SALTPETRE.—There has been very little inquiry for this
article, and the few sales effected have been at about late
values.

TALLOW.---A very limited business has been reported,

amount of money as they may think proper, under
much more settled conditions, and at an important
advantage, either in point of market price or of
accrued interest. Let the wary investor eschew
the speculative entrainement ; for he will gain by
waiting. Possibly he may even pick up"at a greatly
reduced price some of the stock pressed upon the
market by the original negotiatiors, who, in some
cases, seem not to scruple to get out of a scrape
upon the backs of those who have supported them.
" Promoters of public companies" may well claim
a distinct classification in the " Directory," a re-
gard be had to their number, complete organisa-
tion, acquaintance with high circles, and rising im-
portance in the commercial and financial world.
Their influence, however, is not a particularly be-
nign one; and when we regard the vast extension
which the spirit of gambling, as proved by the
mania for allotments, has acquired of late years
amongst all classes of the community, even amongst
those which would. appear to
.be most eexemptthe
practical discouragement to " jobbing" involved in
the instances of disappointment above cited, forms
a partial set-off against the losses sustained.

found dead in the timber yard of Mr. Bellerby, George-

which had fallen upon him. He was upon his feet, but his
body was doubled, and in that position he had been suffo-
cated. On examination being made, his body was found
to be very much bruised. He had been missing fromthe
previous evening, and the belief is that he was playing
among the wood when it fell upon him. •

THE MOORS AND FORESTS.

(Front the Inverness Courier.)
Ten days of brilliant weather has enabled sports-
men to shoot over the entire bounds of their shoot-
ings, and we are glad to learn that on most of the
moors a very decided increase has taken place in
the quantity of grouse—the bags are larger than
any season since 1855, and the proportion of young
to old birds at least five to one. On the Cullachy
moors, Colonel Hill and Captain Hill have begged
125 grouse, four black game, one woodcock, one
rail, 18 hares. At Daviot, Hugh Wild, Esq., shot
12 brace on the 13th. At Aberdour, the party had
shot, up to the evening of the 20th, 1832 brace of
grouse ; and at Cantray, Col. Fraser and friends
bagged 314 head in four days' shooting. At Clune,
Messrs Wigram and Ark wright have bagged in
five days' shooting 164 brace. At Erchkss, on the
20th, a small party of Sir Greville Smyth s, in a
few hours, killed 45 grouse and 6 blue hares. On
the 22d, Sir Greville and party killed 55 grouse
and black game and 16 blue hares. Mr. Wyne Wil-
liams arrived at Tulchen Lodge on the 14th inst.
In five days he got, to one gun, 125 brace. The
birds are plentiful, strong, and healthy. The party
at Aboync Castle had an excellent day's sport en
the 20th. P. B. Smollett, Esq., M.P., bagged 554-
brace ; and John It. Ewing, Esq., of Ratho Hall,
bagged 50 brace of grouse, all in fine condition, and
several hares.
In the forests, deer stalkers may be said to have
done little more than open fire, as the stag heads
are not yet clear of velvet. At Ft.nnich, Captain
Walsh shot two very good stags right and left--one
of the heads has antlers of 32 inches span, 51 inches
thick, 33 inches long, and 11 tines. At Flowerdale
Lord St. John shot a stag with antlers 291 inches
span, 5, inches thick, and 11 tines. Sir Greville
Smyth shot a stag with full-grown head, at Erch-
less Castle ; another was shot at Glenmaseran, by
John Fowler, Esq. On the 23d, at Erchless, A. S.
Davis, Esq., a stag; F. Wright, Esq., a roo buck.

THAMES.

CHARGE or CUTTING AND WOUNDING.—Timothy
Murphy, a labourer, aged 36, was brought before Mr.
Selfe on remand, charged with cutting and wounding
Dennis Leary.
The prosecutor, who was in a weakly condition from loss
of blood, and has been under medical treatment for several
days, presented himself in the witness box, with his head
bandaged and his right arm in a sling. Leary and Murphy
are both Irishmen, and the former lives at No. 2, Hobson's-
court, Copenhagen-place, Limehouso, and the other at No.
3, Hobson's-court. Both men have the reputation of being
very industrious and very quarrelsome. Leary has red
hair, and had been frequently annoyed by his neighbour
calling him " carrots." On the evening of the 22d inst., a
Mrs. Smith, who lives near Hobson's-court, saw the
prisoner with a clasp knife in his hand, and he
approached her parlour window and sharpened the knife
upon the window ledge. While he was doing so he said,
"I'll have my revenge upon carrots." He returned to his,
own house, came out again with the knife, and waited anti
he saw Leary, whom he abused, and endeavoured to plunge
the knife into his body, exclaiming, " I'll do for you, you
old b—r, I will." Leary raised his right arm to parry the
blow, and the knife caught his wrist, on which a deep and
dangerous wound was inflicted. The prisoner then knocked
down Leary with his fist, and when he got up knocked him
down again. Leary fell upon his head and was stunned.
He was removed to the hospital on a stretcher, and has
ever since suffered much from the wounds he re-
ceived and the loss of blood. Two witnesses,
not acquainted with either party, confirmed the state•
went of Leary ; and a policeman named Tyler, 155
K, who took the prisoner into custody, said there were
marks on the window sill of Mrs. Smith's house, and ho
had no doubt they were caused by sharpening a knife there.
Mr_ Fletcher, solicitor, who defended the prisoner, en-
deavoured to make it appear by his cross-examination of the
witnesses that no knife was used, but the witnesses were
quite certain the prisoner had a knife in his hand when he
struck at Leary. The only important fact elicited in cross-
examination from Leary was that he had bean convicted
and sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment for an aggra-
vated assault upon a woman.
Mr. Fletcher advised the prisoner to reserve his defence.
Mr. Selfe complained there was no medical evidence in
this case, and committed the prisoner for trial for unlaw-
fully wounding.
