POLICE INTELLIGENCE, Nov. 12.

LAMBETH.—VIOLENT CONDUCT OF A CAB
MAN.—Wm. Giles Alder, a cabdriver, was charged
with the following outrage :
Mr. Joseph Sams, the proprietor of the Dover
Castle, in the Westminster-road, deposed that on
the night before, about half-past 11 o'clock, while
going alone the Kennington-road, a cab drove from
the Lambeth-road at so violent a rate, that his ser-
vant, who was driving at the time, had some diffi-
culty to avoid a collision ; but he did so, and they
passed along. In a few minutes afterwards he (Mr,
Sams) heard a cab driven towards them at a furious
rate, and as it approached nearer ho heard the pri-
soner, who was the driver, say " 1 shall catch you.
My horse is better than yours," and almost imme-
diately drove across in front of them. His servant
avoided a serious collision in this and two other
crossings, when ultimately the prisoner jumped
from his box and seized his horse by the head. He
(Mr. Sams) at once got from his vehicle, and on
approaching the prisoner he let go the horse and
gave him a violent blow on the nose. He found
there was nothing for it but to act on the defensive,
and the prisoner finding that he was getting much
the worst of the recontre endeavoured, without
getting up, to put his head between his legs and
throw him over; but this he avoided, and a police-
man coming up be gave prisoner, who was much
the worse for drink, into custody. On examining
his phaeton on that morning, he found that one of
the leading wheels was damaged to the amount
of 20s.

The servant of Mr. Sams corroborated the testi-
mony of his master respecting the prisoner's mis-
conduct and violence, and the policeman spoke to
his want of sobriety.
The prisoner said that he had been crossed in the
first instance, and his wheel injured; and exhibited
his mouth, which was a good deal swollen and both
his lips cut by a blow from the complainant.
Mr. Elliott told him he had, by his misconduct,
brought it on. himself, and convicted him in a
penalty of 205., or 14 days, for his misconduct and
the assault, and ordered him, in addition, to pay
205., the amount of the damage, or 14 days' im-
prisonment.

GREENWICH.—EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF
MURDER.—George Inkpen, a young man 20 years
of age, described as a hammerman, of 37, Amelia-
terrace, Deptford, was placed in the dock on a
charge, as described in the police-sheet, of attempt-
ing to commit suicide by throwing himself into the
Surrey canal, in company with Margaret Edwards,
who was drowned.

Inspector Ellis, R division, said from information
received he went, at half-past ten on Monday night,
to a house in Amelia-terrace, Deptford, where he
saw the prisoner. Witness took him out, and on
proceeding up the street, questioned him concerning
the deceased being in the canal, and asked him if
he could point out the slot where it occurred, when
the prisoner said he would tell him all about it. The
prisoner then said he been to a race or running
match in London that day, and got out at the rail-
way station, High-street, Deptford, that evening,
and after goine. to Bennett's, a barber, he proceeded
to the Lord Duncan public-house' New-cross-road,
and had something to drink. While there, the
deceased, who lived in the neighbourhood as domes-
tic servant, entered for the family's supper beer,
when he spoke to her, and they went out together.
She then wished him to drink some of the beer,
which he did, and she drank some also, and then
they finished the whole of it. Having done this the
prisoner remarked that the deceased said, " It's no
use living, my friends are always nagging me,"
adding, " Will you follow me." He replied, " Yes ;
wherever you go I will go," and that they then
turned down the Mornington-road, and went toge-
ther to the Surrey canal, where the deceased asked
if he had got a handkerchief; but she said it would
not be long enough to go round them both, and
that he then said he had got some bootlaces, which
he had bought in London, and that, on her
saying they would do, they tied themselves to-
gether. Previous to entering the water, the
deceased said, " I do not think I shall sink,"
when he asked her why she said so, and she re-
plied, " because of my crinoline." The prisoner
then said they both got into the canal and rolled
over and over; that she soon turned, but did not
for some time sink, out that the bootlaces breaking,
he got out on the opposite side and tried to save
her, but not being able to do so, he got into the
canal again, swam across, and returned home.
Witness and the prisoner then proceeded towards
the canal bank, and on asking the prisoner if he
felt himself better, he replied, " I was very bad,
and she had to hold me up, but I am all right now,
and if I had been as well a while ago, I should not
have done this." Witness askel him if i.e had been
drinking, and he said he had been drinking freely.
The prisoner then pointed out the spot where they
entered the water, and the drags having been pro-
cured, the body of the deceased was found, and
brought ashore. The prisoner said her name was
Margaret Edwards, and that he had been keeping
company with her three years. Prisoner appeared
anxious to see the body of the deceased, and on
allowing him to do so he said it had made a great
alteration in her features. Witness then took the
prisoner to the police station, and the charge having
been taken, the prisoner said he would give his word
that what he had told was the truth. Witness
assisted in taking the body of deceased to the dead-
house, examining it to see if there were any boot
laces or handkerchief tied about it, but could find
neither. There was a bruise on the left temple.
On going to the prisoner's house, ,a itness saw some
wet clothes in the room.

This being the whole of the evidence produced,
A friend of the prisoner asked the nature of the
charge against him.

fraill said it would resolve itself into a
charge of murder against the prisoner, who was
then remanded until Wednesday next.

HAMMERSMITH._IMPORTnNT
TO VOLUN-
TEERS.—The commanding. officer of the First
Middlesex Engineer Rifle Corps, of the Kensington
Museum, attended before Mr. Dayman to support a
number of summonses against volunteers of his
corps for the non•payment of their subscriVions.
Several of the summonses could not be served on
account of a change of residence, and in one instance
a warrant was granted.
John Fry, a member of the 4th company, ap-
peared, and stated, as a reason for not paying the
arrears of 12s. 6d., that he had been laid up with
rheumatism ; but he would pay if time were
allowed.

Captain Ransom°, of the 4th company, proved
the demand, and said that if the defendant had
not sufficient money to pay his subscriptions, he
had sufficient to get married since he had entered
the corps.
Mr. Dayman told the defendant that he was
liable to pay all the arrears, and as a penalty the
double of them, to be recovered by distress, and in
the case of there being no distress, imprisonment to
follow. He would adjourn the summons for a
week to enable him to pay the money.
Several others belonging to another company of
the same corps, were also adjourned for a week,
and the magistrate pointed out the law to each of
them as they were called.

.
The Commanding Officer said it was with re-
luctance that he brought the cases forward, but it
was felt necessary for the good of the corps, and he
hoped that before the next hearing the defendants
would make arrangements to pay.
Mr. Dayman said these proceedings were neces-
sary, otherwise it would be very hard upon those
who paid, as those who did not would not reap the
advantage of the others subscriptions.
The Commanding Officer said that was the feel-
ing of the corps.

THE WORKS OF SHELLEY.—It was at four-and-
twenty that Shelley began to write those works on which
his immortal fame must rest. Fitly and grandly is the
brilliant catalogue introduced by that magnificent "Hymn
to Intellectual Beauty," written in 1817. In the same y ear
Shelley wrote also his longest work, the " The Revolt of
Islam." Every year from this some great and com-
plete work issues from his pen. In 1818 he began
the " Prometheus Unbound." In 1819 is published the
Cond." The following year produces the " Witch
of Atlas." In 1821 appear his three most polished poems,
the " Epipsychidion," " Hellas," and the ode to Keats
under the name of " Adonais." The next year is, alas I his
last. The chief evidences of the untiring intellectual energy
of the last few months of his life are two fragments—the
commencement of a drama entitled " Charles the First,"
and "The Triumph of Life." He had long conceived that
the interesting events connected with the fate of Charles
the First would form a magnificent subject for a drama. He
had suggested it as a subject on which his wife might fitly
exercise her genius. On the other hand, she had often ex-
horted Shelley to follow up the signal literary essay of the
" Cenci" by another essay in the same field ; but, as Mrs.
Shelley tells us, " he shrank instinctively from portraying
human passion, with its mixture of good and evil, of dis-
appointment and disquiet. Such opened again the wounds
of his own heart." Accordingly, we find that he threw
aside his attempted drama, and gave way to the natural
bent of his emotional genius in composing the most mysti-
cal of his works.—Temple Bar.

of Excellence.—Every virtue demanded by the most exact-
ing invalid is incorporated in these admirable Pills. They
will rid the system of all:corrupt humours, and regulate
the stomach and liver, those citadels of health. When any
function: is disordered it is a vain delusion to trust to its
righting itself—as well might we trust to a stopped watch
setting itself going. Holloway's Pills free the body most
completely from both the cause and effect of disease by
safe, well marked, and certain advances. By an occasional
and judicious course of these purifying Pills the constitu-
tion may be fortified against the approach of disease, and
both body and mind maintained in the highest Loa, r
