POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.

- (GUILDHALL.
EXTENSIVE PLATE AND CASH ROBBERY.—Sarah Smith,
a stout, well-dressed woman, was charged with being in
unlawful possession of a quantity of silver plate, valued at
£4O, stolen from the premises of Messrs. Bell and Salter,
dentists, of 17, New Broad-street, on Friday last.
It appeared that the prisoner went into Sirrols, in Barbi-
can, on Saturday evening, and offered to sell a quantity of
plate. As the plate tallied with that advertised by the
police she was detained, and Bull and Leonard, City de-
tectives, sent for:. The prisoner, who declared the plate
was her property, was taken into custody.
The plate was identified this morning by the prosecutors,
who stated that it was stolen from their premises by burg-
lars, and that £5O in cash had also been taken.
The prisoner was remanded to Friday next.

charged with stealing a cab (2,68 G) and horse, of the value
of £4O, the property of Mr. Arthur Stopley, cr.b proprietor,

soner and another man about to enter a house, and on ask-
ing him if his name was not Rowse, he denied it, and ran
off. He, however, pursued him, and took him into custody,
when he admitted selling the horse, cab, and harness for
£lO ; and on searching him he found the sum of a 3s. Ild.,
and that he was wearing a new coat, which he said he had
bought out of the money; and on the inspector (Mr.
Holden) asking what he had done with the rest, he said he
had spent it.

In answer to Mr. Bingham, the prisoner said he wag
tipsy at the time he sold the horse and cab.

SIR JOHN 13 .1 RING TON ..,4-17) SIR
JAMES GRAHAM.

We have been requested to publish the following
correspondence :

Ma 12.
( "Dear Sir James Graham,—A I
feeldmiralt oby to to call
your attention to the following passage in your
speech at the Carlisle dinner, as reported in the
Times :
" Captain Carnegie informed the First Lord of
the Admiralty he had made inquiries at Dover, and
he was satisfied success was impossible without the
use of means which, as a man of honour, he could
not use. The First Lord of the Admiralty said
" there is no option," and intimated that he must
go to Dover.'

" You have thus imputed to me that I pressed
Captain Curnegie to stand for Dover, knowing at
the time I did so that he could only win by corrupt
means,

" I am sure you would not have made this 'impu-
tation had you been aware that it is totally un-
founded.
"I have no recollection of a single word having
passed between Capt. Carnegie and myself as to
corrupt practices being essential to success at
Dover.

" Captain Carnegie did not allege in his pub-
lished letter that he had made tome any such state-
ment.

"I know nothing of the Dover constituency my-
self, and I am not aware that I have ever heard or
read a word imputing corruption to that constitu-
ency-, except a paragraph in Captain Carnegie's
letter to that effect.

It is true that I told Captain Carnegie he had,
,in my opinion, no honourable option ;' but those
words referred to the conditions on which he had
accepted office, and were spoken, as I think I hardly
need assure you, without the slightest reference to
imputations upon the people of Dover, of which I
had never heard.
" I shall await your answer before I make this
letter public.

" I remain, dear Sir James, yours faithfully,
" JOHN S. " The Right Hon. Sir James Graham, M.P."

" Netherby, May 13.
" Dear Sir Sohn Pakington,—My reference to
Captain Carnegie's refusal to stand for Dover was
based entirely on Captain Carnegie's published
letter, giving a detailed account of that transaction.
" I have no copy of that letter here ; and some
time has elapsed since I read it. But I stated what
appeared to me to be the substance of Captain Car-
negie's declaration, and I used nearly his words as
far as I could remember them.

" I considered myself at liberty so to do, because
Captain Carnegic's letter has hitherto, to the best
of my belief, remained uncontradicted.
" You now tell me that the imputation of having
still pressed Captain Carnegie to stand for Dover
when informed by him that the means to be used
there to insure success were inconsistent with his
honour is totally unfounded.
"If I have erred in any particular, or have in
the least misrepresented the purport of the conver-
sation between you and Captain Carnegie, I readily
express my regret.
GRAHAM.

attended by publishers and literary men, and from

stereotype plates, was quickly run up from £1,400

Mr. Arthur Smith, who was the representative of Mr.

AN INSULT TO SCOTLAND.—The following letter
explains itself :—London, May s—Sir : I have received
your letter containing the strange charge of having stated
in the House of Lords that the Queen had obtained Scot-
land by conquest. I call it " strange" because you found
your interpretation on a perfectly correct report of my
speech, which you quote as follows :—" I know of no other
title by which her gracious Majesty holds the kingdom of
Scotland, her en'pire of India, and some of the colonial de-
pendencies of the British Crown than these three—right of
inheritance, of conquest, and of treaty." You must be ig-
norant of the construction of our language if you do not
o sees
in this sentence a successive application of tir
_rcj,,
" inheritance to Scotland, " conquest" to India,ain, u,,l__".
" treaty" to Malta and other dependencies.—,ie..
