POLICE INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

NEGLECTED CRILDREN.—A CASE FOR A REPORICA.-
TORY.—Two little girls, named Sarah Ann Johnson and
Sarah Howard, both of whom said they were nine years of
age, were charged with stealing some bead neck-chains from
the shop of Miss Morris, of 54, Tottenham-court-road, Ber-
lin wool repository.

It appears that in consequence of some thief having
broken a glass show-case and taken some articles from
it, Miss Morris fastened a piece of paper over the hole, and
having left the place for a short time, she was informed by
a little girl that the prisoners had taken something, and on
taking them back to her shop they begged to be searched,
and in the hat of one of them the neck-chains were found.
The girls were both remanded to be sent to a reforma-
tory.

Benitey's Miscellany.
This number commences with one of Ouida's
peculiar stories ; it is entitled " The Worries of a
Chaperone ; or, Lady Marabout's Troubles." The
style is smart and off-hand, like most of this
author's productions, and we are happy to see that
of late he has varied his characters and scenes to
a certain degree, and relieved the monotony of
some of his previous writings. This is followed
by Paper number seven on the Population arid
Trade in France." There is much information to
be derived from the statistics furnished in these
interesting articles. There is a long review of
two works—the one German and the other French
—the former by Erinnerungsblatter Von a Von
Stamberg, on the Court of Prussia. " A Feuille Vo-
lante," apropos of some tastes of the day, review ear
tain matters which of late have interested the public.
"The Federal City of Washington" is a descrip-
tion of the capital of the Union and its citizens.

" The Adventures of Lorn Loriot" are continued,
but there is nothing of particular interest in this
month's number_ The Count pays a visit to Rich-
mond and accidentally discovers the retreat of Mrs.
Drakeforth and Esther, whom that virtuous lady
proposes to sell to an aged libertine. Mr. Squirl
takes Smudge to his lawyer, and the ball is set
rolling for the capture of the Count ; and, as true
lo

,ve Cannot run smooth, we find Lorn in love with
Esther, Smudge with Lorn, and Mr. Cramp, the
pawnbroker's assistant, in love with Smudge. How
will it all end.

Temple Bar.
" The Seven Sons of Mammon" is proceeded with
at some length, and a most important event occurs
in this instalment, Mrs. Armytage, the wonderful
dissembler, and accomplished cheat is caught at last,
and she was taken on the Derby Day, just as she
was triumphing at the result of the day's sport her
horse having won. Then as she thought herself
at the climax of success and the culminating
point of wealth, the grim destroyer appeared, her
fairy fabric crumbled to dust and she was an
outcast from the pale of society, and even as she
had so long outraged the laws of humanity, she
was most deservedly sent forth to meet the due
reward of her ill deeds. Also, we meet with a very
animated account of the Derby-day, which gives a
very fair idea of the great national holiday. It is
occasionally marred by that flippancy which is
sometimes met in this author's writings, but it is on
the whole a well described scene. The tale leaves
' off with the astounding intelligence that the great
house of Goldthorpe is a bankrupt. There is a
paper on " The Pre-Adamite World," which will
please scientific readers. It is very truly stated, in
conclusion, that "We grope about in the dark picking
up here a little and there a little, but we can never
hope to bring to light all that is left, and there must
remain to the last in the great burying-place of
nature, a far larger series than the most searching
investigation of man will ever bring to light.
Could we ever attain to a complete knowledge of
organic remains we should have made but one step,
and that an imperfect and incomplete step towards
an acquaintance with the life that has passed away,
for there must remain large gaps to be supplied of
such animals as have passed out of existence hav-
ing had no durable skeleton and no hard part
capable of conservation." There is a very interest-
ing article on "Precious Stones" which is sure to
prove acceptable to the reader. It affords a con-
siderable amount of information concerning its sub-
ject in its various branches. It is said of the
pearl, " Pearls are religious emblems, as well as
fashionable favourites, in the New Jerusalem, each
of the twelve doors was one sole pearl, and a pearl
was one of the sacred gems of the ephod, while, in
the Hindu mythology pearls play about as impor-
tant a part as flowers, none of the gods or goddesses
being depicted without a profuse embellishment of
these gems, and those more rightfully called pre-
cious stones." " Thomas Gray and the Literature
of the Eighteenth Century" is a well written essay,
and will doubtless be satisfactory to some to peruse.
One or two other amusing and instructive papers
conclude this number, which is a very readable one.

The St. latnes's Magazine.
This able and interesting miscellany, which does
credit alike to editress and contributors, is con-
tinued with unflagging spirit. It has a goodly
supply of articles, conveying information in a
I pleasant readable form, on subjects of general n-

I The Journal of Agriculture, and the Transactions
of the _Highland and Agricultural Society of
Scotland.
This quarterly serial affords its usual quota of
information on agricultural topics. There is a long
discourse on poultry, which imparts some useful
hints. It states that " poultry have never received
that degree of attention nor had that importance
attached to them in this country which they un-
questionably deserve. The consequences of this
too general neglect are, that we have to import an
immense quantity both of fowls and eggs ; that
the latter are at all times higher priced than they
ought to be; and that fowl' are much less
used as articles of food than the nutritious
and palatable qualities of their flesh render desi-
rable." With respect to M. Lavergne's opinion,
however, it must be said that he is wrong in his
statement that the fowls of France are superior to
those of England. No one who has visited the
Continent will believe what he sqys of their pre-
cocious fattening. In a numerical point they may
have the advantage, but certainly not in appearance.
Various other papers connected with agriculture
are discussed in this interesting number.

The Medical Critic and Psychological Journal.
Edited by Forbes Winslow, M.D. Davies,
Princes-street.
This able serial contains some important articles
on medical and psychological subjects. It is less
exclusively devoted to the consideration of mental
disease than of old, although that important branch
of medical science still occupies a prominent place
in its pages. The /Esthetics of Suicide and Unre-
cognised Insanity are two valuable papers. The
latter is founded on a recent French work by the
physician to the Hospice de la Salpetriere, and
treats of those melancholy cases, "whose disease,"
it is justly observed, " spreads greater misery
and misfortune over a wider sphere than
less subtle infirmities." To this unhappy class belong
the thieves, shoplifters, and other criminals who
occasionally disgrace respectable connections, A
paper on " Female Physicians" has much to say in
their favour, and those who ridicule such a field
for feminine talents should learn moderation from
so eminent an authority in medical science. There
are several articles referring to the study of medi-
cine, and the usual accounts of "English and Foreign
Literature." A paper on the case of the "Egyptian
Frigate at Liverpool and the Causation of Fevers"
deserves consideration on the part of the owners
of our merchant vessels. Many other articles of
value are to be found in the number.

There is a new story called " The House by the
Churchyard," it is to be continued, and promises to
be very complicated in its results and tragic in its
denouement. As is the case in nearly all the periodi-
cals this month, we meet with an article on
" America ;" after enumerating the various rea-
sons put forward in favour of slavery, and demon-
strating their fallacy, it is thus said, " We despair
of making any impression on the South by argu-
ment. The garrison is not to be taken by assault,
it can only be starved out. Ruinous as the war is
in every way, it is already doing this for us, it is
breaking down the cotton monopely of the South.
Europe will be delivered from its degrading sub-
servience to American slavery, and the Southern
States forced to abandon slavery altogether or to
defy the civilised world by opening the slave trade.
These are the results which the war is bringing
about—results very unlike those which North-
ern statesmen reckon on, though far more
beneficial to the world at large. The
North, in all probability, will not conquer the
South, but so much the better for emancipation.
A war of conquest would be succeeded by a peace
of compromise, but a war of exhaustion will so dis-
able the South that before it can right itself again
the cotton spinners of Europe will have got their
supply from India, and not trouble American
slavery any further." " The Story of a Punjaub
Wife" is a very impressive sketch that tells of a ,
woman's daring and spirit; it is written in an elo-
quent style, and reflects credit on its composer.
"An Only Son" is continued at some length. Ned
Locksley distinguishes himself greatly in the Indian
campaigns, and returns home on sick leave. At
Gibraltar he finds Lady Royston and also Amy
Grant, so that there is a great deal of interesting
and exciting matter in these chapters. "A Stroll
over Donnybrook Fair Green" is a lively sketch of
old customs and manners. "A New Leaf Turned
Over" refers to Ireland nowadays. " The fame of
our prosperity has even passed beyond the Straits
of Dover, anrithe French journalist and book-maker,
as well as the Special of the London broadsheet
proclaim our recent rise in the world. Alike among
savants and sciolists we form the attractive topic
in this to-be-remembered autumn of 1861. " Papers
on Ireland" drew the fullest audienees at Manches-
ter, we have heard, as well as in Dublin. the
acutest observers and the most practical philoso-
phers following even with eulogies and prognosti-
cations all cast in the same mould. We make oar
best bow, and trust we may be kept humble under
this shower of flatteries and feliciations." "Ups
and Downs of Family History" is an interesting
paper on Sir Bernard Burke's work.. " A Peep into
Recent French Books" is also worthy of perusal.
