POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

BRIGHTON RACES.—(This Day.)

BOW-STREET.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
BETTING ON THE COURSE.

John Samms, a young man about 20 years of age, was
charged with assaulting the police and threatening the life
of his sister.

ST. LEGER.

Police-constable 143 said—l was sent from this court
about half-past four to No. 5, George-street, Bloomsbury,
yesterday, by Mr. Henry, to caution the prisoner relative
to his ill-using his sister. On entering the house the pri-
soner left it by the back yard, but I eventually saw him in
a public-house. I told him what the magistrate said, when
he attempted again to assault his sister, who was with me,
and pointed the prisoner out to me. He became very ex-
cited, and while I was again cautioning him he spat in my
face.

Prisoner—On my solemn oath I never did so ; it was
meant for my sister.

Mr. Hall—Well, I must say that was a very strange
way for you to conduct yourself towards your sister.
Prisoner—She's always aggravating me ; she wants to
get me away from home.
,Ir. Hall—What are you ?

Prisoner—l aint any trade. Ido nothing. I was going
away to the north of Ireland this morning if I had not been
taken into custody. I've got my clothes all ready to go.
My sister's the most aggravating woman born. Her
game's clear.

EXTRACTS FROM "PUNCH."

GOYON AND DE MERODE.
A LAY OF LEICESTER-SQUARE.

'The sister of the prisoner, a very respectably-dressed
young woman, here stepped forward. She said the prisoner
for the last eight or nine months had been guilty of acting
in the most cruel manner towards her. Their father lived
in the country, and she managed the lodging-house he
had in George-street. The prisoner was a great trouble to
his family, as he was an idle, dissolute young man. He
had a room in the house in George-street, and his father
allowed him Is. a day to spend, but immediately the money
was gone, he was in the habit of coming home and
conducting himself in a most violent manner. He had
already been in prison for fifteen days for kicking her, and
no later than yesterday be again assaulted her. The
assaults, although painful, she could endure, but of late he
had so often threatened to murder her that she felt afraid
ho would one day carry out his threat.

Mr. Hall—How long ago is it since he threatened your
life ?

Witness—Yesterday, sir, he took up one of the table
knives, and said he would do for me before he left London.
Prisoner—She's the most bloodthirsty woman on the
face of God's earth, but I don't wish her any harm.
Mr. Hall—Oh, no, of course not. Your late observation
lets us see what sort of person you really are. I shall fine
you 10s. for the assault on the officer, and call upon you to
enter into your own recognisances for £4O, and to find two
respectable sureties of £2O each, to keep the peace towards
your sister for three months, and if you fail in that you will
be detained in prison for that period.
The prisoner was locked up.

Ah I 'ave a you eerd ze news wheech 'ave occur joost now?
Monsignor de Merode wiz Goyon 'ave von row.
Ze General demand, and Monsignor deny,
Surrender of Zouave for some offence to tiy.
To General Goyon, of Monsignor Merode,
Ze ansare, in Inglees exprased, vas " You be blowed ;
I vill not give up ze unfortunate to you :
Your mastere ees von rhog, von ombog, and von doo 1"
Ze General Goyon, to hear zis bad language
Spoke of Napoleon, flew into von great rage ;
" Aha 1" he cry, "ze coat protects you what you wears,
Else I wodo give you two great boxes on ze ears.
" Take off your priestly robbs which keeps your shoulders
warm,

And I of General will change ze uniform,
Zat now on your honour I 'ave inflicted stain,
I may you render satisfaction on ze
Monsignor de Merode replied, "You'll me excuse;
Ze offer to accept for why I most refuse."
" Monsignor de Merode," say General Guyon,
" To me it plain appears zat you are von poltron.
" Ze boxes of your ears vat causes you no pain,
Since as you zem accept zey morally remain,
Behold you see ze tip of zis extended toe ;
Conceive zat you arrest so kick I make just so !"
Monsignor de Merode did zereupon retreat,
Like von small dog wiz tail between his hinder feet,
Ze soldier of him claimed surrender by-and-by,
And sat him down to eat von plate of omble pie. •

STYLE !—What every coxcomb fancies ho has attached
to his gait.

THE ONE GREAT THING THAT HAS PASSED THIS SES-
SlON.—Passing Lord John into the House of Lords.

VERY SHOOTABLE,—A new journal is announced, to be
entitled The Quiver. We understand that a leading feature
in it will be an 'arrowing tale called The Beau.

ADVICE THAT NEVER 'WILL BE FOLLOWED.—A woman
should never marry. Previous to marriage, she is an angel ;
whereas, after marriage, she is nothing more than a woman.
—Ono who admires women far too generally ever to give a
selfish preference to one.
A WOMAN TO BE ENVIED.—The wife of a poor
curate writes sighingly as follows :—" I see that the Sul-
tan is always appearing in public with a new Hatt. I
wonder if the Sultana exercises the same privilege, and can
come out as often as she likes with a new bonnet ?"
THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE.—The Lord
Mayor should not be surprised at the success of his rival.
As a builder, he ought to have known that in the nature of
things it could not well be otherwise. Where would one
expect to find Wood, pray, but at the head of the poll ?
