POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET,
NEGLECTED CHILDREN.—A CASE FOR A REFORMA-
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
takiug 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.

THAMES.

HORRIBLE MURDER ON BOARD AN AMERICAN SHIP.
___

—Wm. Henry Hawkins, a black man, late steward of the
American ship Lammargier, was brought before Mr. Seib,
charged with the wilful murder of Captain William H.
Adams, off the coast of Devonshire.

The prisoner has been in the custody of the Thames
police since yesterday morning, and the ship is now lying
in the Victoria Dock. The Lammargier sailed from the
port of London for Callao twelve days ago. On Sunday
morning last the Captain was foully murdered off the Start,
and the ship put back immediately and arrived in the Vic-
toria Dock yesterday morning at an early hour.
Mr. John Brown Ross, surgeon, High-street, Shadwell,
said that he had examined thp body of the deceased captain.
There was a very large wound over the right frontal bone,
which was battered in, also over the right parietal and right
temple-bone, which were battered in and the brains pro-
truding. There were two fractures communicating with
each other. He had also examined a chopper on board. It
was a new one, and had been washed, but he could trace
human blood and human hair upon it.

Mr. Myers, an American, the second officer of the ship
Lammargier, gave evidence at great length of the sailing
of the ship on the 21st of September from London, to
the captain and steward having words after the vessel
sailed, and to the steward's OYO being marked
as if he had been struck. The steward at breakfast time
on Tuesday week said, " I'll give you all a chance to get
back to London." He told the steward that whatever
secrets he might have he had better keep them to himself,
The chief officer said to the steward, " The captain is a
strange man. If you get to the right side of him you will
be all right." The steward said, " I am a strange man
too. No one on board this ship knows me yet." On Sun-
day morning last the captain was found in his cabin mur-
dered, and the blood oozing from his head, which had been
cut open with a hatchet. The steward was immediately
secured and put in irons.

Mr. Selfe decided that he must have the Secretary of
State's warrant before he could proceed further with the
case, and remanded the prisoner.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Our market, to-day, was fairly supplied with beasts as to
number ; but their general quality was inferior. The few
prime breeds on offer were disposed of at Monday's cur-
rency; but inferior beasts were very dull, and 2d per 81bs.
lower. The show of sheep was moderate. Downs and
half breds realised previous rates. Other breeds were 2d
per 81bs cheaper. The best Downs and half-breds sold at
58 4d per 81bs. Calves—the supply of which was rather
limited—were a dull inquiry, at late rates. Pigs com
manded extreme currencies; but milch cows were heavy.
