POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day.)

MARLBORO ETGH-STREET.

A RUPVIANLY BlGGA.ll.—Michael Spitler, an ema-
ciated, ill-looking fellow, with a withered arm, was
brought before Mr. Bingham on Saturday afternoon,
just before the closing of the court, charged with begging
in the public streets, to the great annoyance of several
ladies and gentlemen.
The prisoner is one of the meet importunate and
ruffianly vagrants in London, and has been for sometime
the terror of unprotected ladies, more especially to those
who happened to be in a certain interesting situation,
and it was only owing to the perseverance of Mr. Digby
Boycott, of the Union Club, Trafalgar-square, that the
prisoner Wag on this occasion given into custody.
Mr. Boycott stated that on Saturday afternoon he
was in Piccadilly, when his attention was called to the
prisoner by seeing him go up to some ladies, one of
whom was oneeinte, and, thrusting forward the withered
stump of his arm, demanded alms. Seeing that the ladies
were much annoyed at the prisoner's conduct, he went
up to him, when the prisoner had the audacity to beg of
him. A makable at that moment came up, and witness,
on public grounds, gave him into custody.
The prisoner, is a whining tone, made a long, rambling
statement, to the effect that he had been in the army,
where he had lost the use if his arm. He had been
knocked about a great deal, and was well known to Sir
Richard Mayne, the Chief Commissioner of Police. He
had no ether means of getting a livelihood, and was very
sorry if he had offended any one.
The officer who apprehended the prisoner said the
latter was in liquor, and when searched is. 10,1. was
found upon him.
Mr. Bingham severely admonished the prisoner,
and said it was one of the worst cases of the kind that
ever came before him, and he would take care his
career should be stopped for a time at least. He should
therefore commit him to the House of Correction for a
month.
Mr. Bingham said the public were indebted to Mr.
Boyett for giving him into custody.
STEALING LIN'S —J o n Carpenter was charged
before Mr. Beadon with stealing a basket of linen value
41, from a linendraper, and the property of a gentleman
nerazid Montagne.
The prisoner was seen to go behind the counter in
Regent.st,reet and lift off the basket of linen. He was
running off %..ith iS when a constable stopped him and
took him in chaft:e.
Remanded for a reek.

Dia.:lV= OD A NEST 01,SWINDLIES.--JOhn Bristow,
stated to be 20 years of age, bit who looked older, was
brought before Mr. Yardley, elis:rged with unlawfully
conspiring with others to defraud manufacturers and
tradesmen of their goods.
It appears that several complaints have been made to
Mr. Howie, the superintendent of the K division, that a
gang of swindlers had located themselves At a place
Lime Lome, and
called Union Wharf,
antit Narrow-street,
had obtained large quantities of goods of various trades-
men and manufacturers under false pretences, and had
sold them under cost price. On Saturday afternoon, a
police-oonstable named Sheridan, No. 443 K,
took the
prisoner into custody on the Wharf. He found upon
him only a pocket-book containing memorandums, a
Crimean medal, and two pawnbroker's duplicates.
The prisoner was given in charge by a Mr. Simpson for
obtaining goods Cnder false pretences.
The prisoner said .he knew nothing—even of his own
father, and was very reserved.
John Richard Taylor serif he 'tied been in the service
of Henry Duval, of 1J Dion-whit:l. The prisoner was the
son of the proprietor of the wharf, Witness was em-
ployed as a sort of auctioneer and valuer to sellrf. the
S pro
seeds—he meant the goods brought to tiv3 whaome
wire valued at 91. 4r. was ordered and bcought to the
wharf, which he sold for 61. 101. They desired him to
do so.
Mr. Tardlev—Whom do you mean by they ?
Witness—The prisoner, his father, and others: 24
fenders arrived on three different occasions, and were
aLI
received by prisoner. After the first transaction of the
wire, I was not admitted to the place. He did not know
when the prisoner's father and others had gone. Several
persons, including the prisoner, were in the practice of
receiving goods and selling them for a less price than
they were purchased for.
Mr. Yardley—For a less price than they were
invoiced to you for.
Witness—'.Yee, sir.
Mr. William Simpson, a manufacturer in Birmingham
and at present staying at No. 199, Holborn, said that a
few weeks ago he received an order for iron fenders from
a Mr. Duval of Union Wharf. It was stated that the
fenders were intended to be sent to Australia. He
executed the order through his London agent. The
value of the fenders was 90/. He had since understood
that the fenders were sold at a less price then he would
manufacture them for.
Mr. Yardley—Have you been paid for them I
Mr. Simpson—No, sir.
Mr. Yardley—And yon complain that you have been
defrauded of goods value 901.
Mr. Simpson—Yes, sir.
Other persons were waiting to prefer charges.
Mr. Yardley—There is some evidence of a conspiracy
to defraud. 1 will remand the prisoner until Saturday

Iu accordance with ancient custom, the newly-
elected Lord Mayor, Sir Robert Carden, M.P.,
attended by the Sheriffs, proceeded to Westminster
to-day to have the oaths of office administered to
them by the Barons of the Exchequer. The usual
programme was departed from in a most important
respect, as there was no procession by water.
His Lordship was escorted to Westminster by the
11th Hussars. There were the juvenile band
of the Royal Military School at Chelsea, the
band of the Life Guards mounted, of the
London Militia, and a large military band.

The banquet in the evening at the Guildhall
will, it is expected, be attended by nearly the whole
of the Ministers and a very brilliant company of
guests. Trophies of banners and armour are ar-
ranged on each side of the hall, together with the
arms of nations in alliance with us. the Lord
Mayor's arms and those of the Sheriffs are conspi-
cuously placed, and. stands of arms furnished from
the Tower stores also form part of the decorations.
At the west end of the hall will be an illuminat?d
star, acid in the east window the Prince of Wales's
plume of feathers in glass. The hall will be lighted
iu the usual manner with gas, and will present its
ordinary brilliant appearance. In the entrance to
the ball will be placed various suits of armour, and
arms, and. flowering shrubs, and in the lobby of
the law courts numerous statues will be arranged.
The display of works of art is much larger and more
creditable than on previous occasions, and these
lobbies and ante-rooms will afford a most agreeable
promenade to the cowpany.

We are informed that the wives of men who have
left a month since for India, and were sent to their
respective parishes, have not yet received the 6d. per
diem alloVed by the authorities. Surely to such poor
creatures this slight boon should be given at once.
Procrastinating in such cases would lead to the ruin
of many.—United Service Gazette.
GUY FAUX NIGIC IN EXETER.—The Cathedral-yard
was last night the scene of the accustomed Fifth
of November revel. The " General " was absent ;
but the work went bravely An. There was some fear ex-
pressed that in consequence' of his absence the revel
would run icto riot. But perfect good order prevailed,
and the annual demonstration against Pweyista and
Popery that is now becoming aggressive, was made in
excellent heart and the best temper. The bonfire pile
was 17 feet high. It was built up wish 960 faggots and a
large number of moots (tree roots). The blaze was mag-
nificent. The old Cathedral came out in all glos
ry, tte
contrast of light and shadow being worth a day' Jour-
ney to see, as the old angles came out and retired amidst
the ever-changing lights ot the bonfire and the fitful
gleams of brilliancy with which coloured pyrotechny
flooded the air. The trees were full of leaf, and autumn
had as yet hardly marked the foliage with his warning
band. This fulness of the branches gave new effects to
the old scents. We bad no settled pageant this year,
no local character to show up to pubic contempt by the
lurid light of this historical flam

but it was thought not right to compromise the whole
body of the English Catholics for the disloyalty of the
Irish and the factiousness of the Pope's subject, Cardinal
Wiseman. The dresses, therefore, were generally gro-
tesque and droll. But military costume prevailed, though
somewhat under caricature ; and the Sepoys were not
forgotten. The whole
