POLICII INTELLIGENCE—Dec. 24.

MANSION-HOUSE.--Several of the fel-
lows who have been for a length of time loitering
about Leadenhall-market with tho intention to
plunder were charged with having stolen poultry,
and convicted and sentenced in petty sessions, b
fore the Lord Mayor and Alderman Rose, to various
terms of imprisonment with hard labour.
Johanna Callaghan a street-walker who has been
in the habit of robbing gentlemen on their return
from convivial entertainments, was committed for
three months as a rogue and vagabond. She had
been- treated to- a ride in a cab on a very rainy
night -by a gentleman, who thought she wa3
an object of compassion, and listened to a very
sorrowful history of her troubles, during the re-
cital of which she contrived to steal all the money
he had about him, and hand it out at the win-
dow to an accomplice who had watched the cab.
The prosecutor, suddenly finding that all his money
was gone, ordered the cabman to drive to Bow-
lane station, and there charged the prisoner, who
said that she was as honest a woman as ever came
from Ireland, and that she never before knew what
a prison was, but what could a poor woman do
among such a host of bad people ?
William Regan was sentenced to imprisonment
for three months for having attempted to rob John
Whelan of hii watch in L' &den hall-market.
The prisoner, it was stated, had followed the
proseeutor in the market, and the moment an
nPoitunity presented itself took the wa+ch out of
hia waistcoat, but could not break it from the
gn, and was caught with it in his hand.

and Julia Metcalfe.
Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, attended for the pro, c-
aution, and Mr. Sleigh appeared for the defendant.
Mr. Lewis called the following witnesses.
Police-constable Andrews, H 38, said—On the
morning of Saturday, the 19th inst., between 12
and 1, while on duty iu Anchor-street, Bethnal-
green, I met the prisoner, who had just come out
of a publichouse immediately opposite his own
resi-
dence. Ho at once said, "Policeman, I have just
been robbed, and my house has been stripped of 60/.
worth of goods, consi3tieg of my own and wife's

' clothes and jewellery." He added, "It had such an
effect on me that I made an attempt to cut my
throat ; put your finger up and feel "itl did so, and
felt something like a scratch. I asked him who he
suspected, and he said, "My wife and my wife's
mother," adding, "Iwishyou would seaach the pre-
' mises." I told him to go and see the inspector of
the station. He replied, "No, I will not ; can I
get a search warrant ?" I said, " No, you cannot
at this hour of the night." He then observed, " I
shall leave it until the morning," and asked me to
have something to drink. I refused, and he left,
and returned to the Compasses public-house. I
saw him again at half-past 1 o'clock, an hour after-
wards ; he was carrying a gallon can of beer. He
bade me good night, and entered his house. I next
saw him at three o'clock the same morning. He
was then in Anchor-court, nearly opposite his
house. I asked him what he was doing there, and
he returned some trivial answer.

By Mr. Ilammill—He appeared in liquor when
I first saw him. He exhibited a swaggering man-
ner. He appeared worse at three o'clock, but not
so bad that I should have taken him into custody
for drunkenness.

Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—When I saw him
in the front and spoke to him, be asked, "Do you
know me ?" I replied, "I do, your name is Har-
man." We then walked down the court, and he
observed, " I shall go in and go to bed ;" but in-
stantly added, No, I shall go to my brother's, or
brother-in-law, at the West-end, and get him to
look after my premises." At that moment I looked
across, and saw what I believed to be gas burning
in the house. I saw it through the crack in the
shutters ; then I saw smoke issuing from the top
part of the shutters. I said, " Good heavens, Har-
man, your house is on fire, and do you know it 1"
He said, " Where, where '?" We both ran across
the road. I gave an alarm by springing my rattle.
The lower part of the premises was then in flames.
He ran against the door and forced it open with his
body. He tried to enter, but could not, in conse-
quence of the flames. He then ran to the side-door,
and tried to force it, but it would not give. I sent
for the fire escape, and returned to the front of the
house. It was then I saw a woman with a child at the
windowof the second floor. About 3or 4 minutes had
elapsed since I had left the front of the house pre-
viously. The prisoner, I believe, has not made
any remark. Prisoner afterwards went to the
door of the next house, where his mother-in-law re-
sides. I think the door was by that time open, and
I did not see him again. The woman at the win-
dow was in her night dress.
Sergeant Egerton—On the morning in question
I went to the house, which I found in flames, and
heard some persons exclaim that there were peoples
inside who had made their way to the top. I went
to the adjoining house, No. 28, and ascended to
the attic, where I saw the prisoner and two civi-
lians holding him, as he was evidently in extreme
excitement. Sergeant Purchase then entered, and
he was conveying him down stairs, when prisoner
exclaimed, " There are people still in the house to
whom I have just been speaking." I then made
my way along the parapet, and forcing open one of
the windows of the next house, called out loudly,
but received no reply. The smoke was suffocating,
and the flames extended halfway across the road.
The fire-escape then arrived, and was placed against
No. 28. The conductor, however, could not, in
consequence of the extreme heat, btain access to
the burning premises. I afterwards saw three
bodies brought down lifeless, and soon after saw
the prisoner, and said to him, " From what I have
heard, I think there is something very serious
about this business," and on asking him if he had
been in the court referred to, he answered in the
negative. I then asked, " Has your house been
robbed 1" He replied, "No, it has not," and said
be had not stated so to the policeman. In answer
to further questions, the accused emphatically as-
serted his iunocence of any complicity in the trans-
action. After some further evidence, the c)unsel
for the prosecution required a remand, as he would
on a future day be enabled to call witnesses of im-
portance, and
Mr. Hammill, observing that there appeared a
strong prima facie case against the prisoner, re-
manded him, at the same time refusing an urgent
appeal for bail to be put in.

on a rock, and crawled up out of reach of the sea.
An ttempt was made to launch the jolly-boat, but
as the bow tackle fouled and would not run, we
had no means of saving our lives except by the life-
' buoy, as the life-boat was stove in when the vessel
broke. The lead was not hove during the passage.
The body of the stewardess (who was a fine young
woman, 24 years of age), in her night-dress, has
been washed ashore, as also two of the seamen. The
wreck was witnessed by a large number of persons
on the shore, who were unable to render the least
aid to the unhappy crew in consequence of the
heavy sea which kept rolling in. The sufferers were
observed to be washed off by two and three. Most
of the crew were married, and have left families.
The ship and cargo are insured.

TOTAL LOSS OF THE SHIP WALLACE, OF

LEITH.

HORRIBLE SUFFERINGS, AND DEATH OF THREE OF
THE CREW.
By the arrival in the Mersey, on Wednesday
night, of the barque Colina, of and from St. John's,
N. 8., Captain Robyns, we have the particulars of
the total lass of the ship Wallace, of Leith, Capt.
Cormea, and the dreadful sufferings of the crew,
who remained on the wreck during a period of 11
days without food or drink, except the body of a
dog, and what water they could secure during short
intervals of rain.

Tha details are horrible in the extreme, and we
relate them as they were received from the lips of
six of the crew of the ill-fated vessel, who were on
Wednesday night brought on shore from the Celina,
and conveyed to the Sailors' Home, at Liverpool.
It appears that the Wallace was a full rigged
ship, and sailed from the Clyde on the 10th Aug.,
coal laden, for Quebec, having a crew of 21, all
told. During the passage out little else but gales of
wind was experienced—she carried away her masts,
and ultimately reached Quebec under jury-rig.
On the 14th Nov. the Wallace sailed from Quo
bec, timber laden, for Greenock. Shortly atter
putting to sea a gale of wind came on and conti-
nued with little intermission until the 7th inst.,
when the ship was about 800 miles distant from
Cape Clear. Soon after 12 o'clock on that day,
while the hands were at work at the pumps, a tre-
mendous sea struck the ship, and capsized her, the
crew having to crawl up the lanyards to escape being
drowned. After great exertions they cut away the
lanyards, when the main and mizen masts fell. The
ship shortly afterwards righted, when another sea
struck the bowsprit and carried it away, and also
the foremast, and at the same time sweeping the
deck of all that was left, and washing overboard
Mr. Lindsay, the chief officer, and the steward (be-
longing to Devonport, but whose name the crew
could not recollect), and they were unfortunately
drowned. The remainder of the crew held on by the
wreck all that afternoon, night, and a part of next
day, when 'he gale abated. On the Bth they were
enabled to ascertain that the hatches and deck had
been forced up, the poop cabin cleared ofits contents,
and that not a morsel of provisions was to be obtained
The weather having further moderated, the crew
cut away the wreck from the ship's side, and made
further search for food. Ultimately a couple of casks
of water were discovered in the fore hold, and half
a bucket of biscuit ' • but on the oth a sea stove the
water casks, and thus was lost what the men were
now craving. On the 10th the poor fellows had be-
come greatly exhausted from hunger, thirst, cold,
and wet—indeed their sufferings can be more easily
imagined than described. No vessel had hove in
sight, and their hunger now lacame of that cha-
racter that they could eat anything, when it was
determined to kilt and divide the dog, which was
done—a small portion being consumed by each, un-
cooked, for they had no fire. On the 11th and suc-
ceeding days shower of rain fell, and the poor fel-
lows managed to catch a small quantity, but not suf-
ficient to allay their parching thirst, whilst small
bits of their once favourite dog were the only food
they had from the 7th to the 17tla Dec., on which
day the joyful cry of " a sail" was given, and ulti-
mately the Colina, Capt. Robyns, bore down, took
the crew off the wreck, got them on board, behaved
in the most kind and humane manner to them; but
care was then necessary for their treatment, for
although well nigh exhausted, their appetites were
ravenous. An apprentice, who was insensible when
taken off the wreck, died soon afterwards.
The captain (Cormea) and all the crew, except
the three above named and the six now at the Li-
verpool Sailors' Home, remain on board the Colinda,
being too ill, from swollen feet, dm, to be imme-
diately removes.

The ship Frank Pierce, which arrived at Liver-
pool on Tuesday last, fell in with, on Dec. 13, in
lat. 48 N., lon. 33 W., the Norwegian ship Espin-
dola, off Porsgrund, Funnemark, master, water-
logged and abandoned, with decks swept, and sails
blown away.

The following particulars of the Espindola have
been ascertained:--The Espindola sailvd. from Que-
bec the 14th Nov. and encountered strong north-
erly wind{ until Monday, the 30th Nov., when the
wind iocrea-ed to making a violent gale, the ship
labouring heavily, and making much water ; the
crew constantly at the pumpq, and the water gain-
ing on them. At midnight lost the bulwarks 01
the starboard side. On Tuesday, the Ist Dec.,
gale increasing, at 8 p.m. shipped a sea that car-
ried away the skylight and tilled the cabin with
water. On Monday, the 7th, the crew constantly
at the pumps, but could not reduce the water. At
1 8 a.m. saw a ship to the S. W. ; made sail and
stood towards h- r ; at 10 a.m. hoisted a signal of
distress ; at 3 p.m. the stranger, observing our sig-
nal, hove down upon us ; it proved to be the Ame-
rican, Captain Potts, of andfrom St. Johns, N. 8.,
bound to Liverpool. Capt. Funnemark went ou
hoard, when Captain Pots immediately offered to
lie and take us all off. The captain then returned
on board, and sent one boat to the ship, with a
quantity of clothing and four hands. After discharg-
ing the boat the crew attempted to return to the Es-
pindola, but, from the increasing wind, found it im-
possible to make her, and returned to the Ameri-
cana. The second boat then came alongside, with
seven hands, and also full of clothing ; but, from
the increasing wind and sea, almost immediately
filled, the crew barely escaping with their lives.
Captain Potts being informed by the crew that the
captain did not intend to leave the ship until the
return of the other boats which he had sent to the
Americana, and they both being stove and lost,
and the night pitch dark, with a heavy sea running,
found it impossible to render any further assistance,
kept the ship by the wind until 8 a.m., with hands
aloft to look out fir the Espindola. At that time,
nothing being in sight, the Americana resumed her
course. Tto much praise cannot be given to Cap-
tain Potts for having come to their rescue so soon ;
nor could the kindness and attention of both Cap-
tain and Mrs. Potts be exceeded, which will be
ever remembered by those saved.

DISTRESS OF DEPOSITORS IN
THE WESTERN BANK
OP SCOTLAND.—We learn from Mr. Hannan, the chair-
man of the National Security Savings Bank, that a
large number of persons who hold deposit receipts from
the savings bank branches of the Western Bank have
been applying at that institution for relief under the
distressing circumstances in which they are placed. A
man who bas deposits in the Western to the amount of
thousands—finds no difficulty in getting advances upon
these in any of the other banks ; but depositors of the
humbler class, whose means vary froai a one.pound not.
up to perhaps 201. or 301., can find no such relief ; and
yet they need it ten times more than those who can find
succour ten times more easily. It is with these small
depositors a matter of existence. They are generally
arewithout

up in the West

over, several of them are threatened with expulsion from
