POLICE INTELLIGENCE-July 11.

GIIILDHALL.—SirIi. W. Carden, in reference
to some betting circulars which he made public a
few days ago, said he had received the following
letter from de,srs. Howard and Clinton, but as he
had received other comumuications since, which
appear below, he would leave the public to form
th it own conclu?ions as to the veracity of Messrs.
' Howard and Clinton, and their participation in
these abominable speculations :
- - -

"To Sir Win. (Itirbt. Walter) Cirden, Alderman, &c.
"Sir,—As we are not aware of any party who would
give paternity to the initials H. and C.' but ourselves,
we beg respectfully to say, in reference to your magiste-
rial observations upon a circular purporting to have been
sent by us to our subscribers, and given in exten,so by the
papers, that no such circular was ever issued by ns.
Moreover, as we have no subscriber at Bristol, we are
led to the conclusion that the very respectable gentleman
who forwarded to your worship this and a previous cit.•
cular remit be some one equally antagonistic to truth as
to the 'lsthmian Games,' and, therefore, no subscriber
of, sir, yours respectfully,
HOWARD AND CLINTON.

London, July 9, 1857."
Sir R. W. Carden said, unfortunately for Messrs.
Howard and Clinton's denial, he held in his hand
another circular from Mr. Johnson, of Bristol, who
writes as follows :

" Bristol, July 9th, 1857

" Sir,—l feel grateful to you for the insertion of my
letter of the 6th inst., with a view of bringing before the
public the doings of H. and Ca.' of betting notoriety.
Your advice to the Post-office authorities will, if fol-
lowed, prove a formidable blow to their financial depart.
ment, as it appears that for several years the Post-office
has been made the only channel through which to enrich
themselves at the expense of others. There- is no other
address given. Any one would be puzzled to find
H. and CY or Howard and Clinton. . . This is of
itself sufficient to show that deception is the grand basis
on which this betting business is transacted. . .
there was any honour in their dealings . . they would
give their real name . . addresses, and not res,,rt to
the hide and seek plan of making a Post-office receiving
house the depot for their ill-gotten gains. In proof
that no check on their victims has yet taken place I send
you another circulir, &c., arrived to-day. . The post-
master mv.st have long since known the nature of the
correspondence entrusted to him for and C so
that the sooner the connexion is severed the sooner
will H. and C.'s' occupation be gone.
"I have the honour to be " B. JouNsoN.”

Several circulars of a similar character to those
previously made public (one of them commencing
with " Howard and Clinton") were enclosed in
the above and reed by Sir R. Carden, who said it
appeared to him that fresh circulars were issued for
every race, and the only thing that surprised him
was thal any young mite sht i d be found so simple
as to be deluded by such a palpable attempt at
fraud, which was evident upon the very face of the
circulars. These betting establishments were mrut
pernicious in their effects, as they but too often
led to the ruin of the inexperienced, who were first
induced to risk their own money, and then, with
such assurances of certain success and large gains,
that of their employers, until incarceration or an
ignominious end. terminated a disgraceful career,
which might otherwise have been pro=perous and
creditable. Some idea.might be, formed of e frightful
extent to which that class of society were plundered
from the very significant fact mentioned by Mr.
Bodkin at the London Sessions °wart, in the ap-
peal of Merry against a conviction for keeping a
betting-house, by which it appeared that during
the short period of ten months Merry had paid in
to the Union Bank as much as 15,0001., and had
only drawn out 8001. He regret ed exeeedingly
that the law was so defective as to leave the magis-
trates, to a certain extent, powerless in dealing
with these cases criminally. He would, however,
adopt the only meaus that was prac.icable to re-
press the nefarious system, and, by exposing the
plans of these parties, caution the unwary to avoid
the snares so impudently contrived for their ruin.
He hoped the press woidd give their assistance.
He was quite sure that if the evil could not be en-
tirely eradicated, it might be considerably allevi-
ated by publicity.
