POLICE INTELLIGENCE—June 21.

WESTMINSTER —SINGULAR CASE OF INTIMI-
DATION OF WORKMEN.--Harriet Wright and Mary
with using abusive and insulting language to work-
mencerdedblytambler-.lo.oki.ng women, were charged
twoplo Kelk, contractor of the Ex-
hibition building of 1862, with intent to induce them
to leave their employment.
It appeared from the evidence. of two men, named
Balson,
em
MR.rsham and Hunt, that while at work yesterday
the women came in front of the scaffold, when
Wright called out to the men, who were not of the
trades' union, at work there. She said, " Why
don't you come out, you whelps, and act like men ;
stand out for your nine hours ? Our men will be
obliged to come at last and turn you blacks out and
finish the building."
Complainants, after giving this statement, said
they were non-unionists, and were paid by the hour,
and did not see why they should be insulted; they
were satisfied with the wages they received.
Wm. Cumming, a retiredinspector of police, em-
ployed to protect Mr. Itelk's men, said he was pre-
sent and heard Wright abuse the men as describid.
She had been at this sort of thing for months, her
husband being what was called a "picket" amongst
the unionists. He heard Balson cry out to the men,
" You are nothing but -, and if you were men
you would come out." When witness gave them
in charge Wright attacked him with her umbrella.
Mr. Arnold said the women were wrongly in
custody, and must, therefore, be liberated ; there
was no power by law to give them in charge of a
policeman unless he had heard the abuse, the course
being to proceed by summons. It was, however,
not to be tolerated that men following their lawful
employment were to be set upon in this way, and if
any cases of the sort were proved before him he
would give the greatest punishment the law en-
abled him.
Defendants were then discharged.

THE NAP Y.

The Plymouth division of the Channel fleet, under
the command of Rear-Admiral Smart, consisting of
the Revenge (flagship), Aboukir, Conquerar, and
Centurion, with the steam tender Porpoise, cast
anchor in Leith Roads on Thursday morning shortly
after midnight. The division had been nearly three
days at the mouth of the Firth of Forth, off the Isle
of May, cruising about in expectation of meeting the
Spithead division (Admiral Erskine,consisting of
the Edgar (flag), Donegal, Trafalgar, and Hero.
Up to Wednesday evening the latter division had
not been seen, and Admiral Smart gave the signal
to proceed up the Firth. While cruising off thelle
of May the ships' crews were busily exercised in
artillery and rifle practice at targets moored for the
purpose. All Thursday the Plymouth division lay
off the Island of Inchkeith in Leith Roads, and at
noon the several ships fired a royal salute in honour
of her Majesty's accession. In the afternoon the
ships were ordered to get up steam, for the purpose,
it was understood, of proceeding up the Firth to
St. Margaret's Hope, where both divisions of the
Fleet lay for about a fortnight last summer.
The following vessels were yesterday chartered
by the Hon. Council of:lndia for the conveyance of
reinforcements to India, viz. :—the Clarence, which
will embark 295 non-commissioned officers and
men and 9 officers of the Ist Dragoon Guards,
Ist battalion Ist Royals, 21st Fusiliers, 52nd
Light Infantry, 3d battalion 60th Rifles, 68th
Light Infantry, 69th Regiment, and the 74th
Highlanders, at Gravesend, for Madras, on July
2d the Southern Cross will embark the following
reinforcements at Gravesend, for Knrrachee, on 13th
July--163 men of all ranks, and 3 officers, of the
7th (Princess Royal's) Dragoon Guards and 71st

selected from the depots at Chatham, Colchester,
Winchester, Aberdeen, Fermoy, Canterbury, and
Stirling.
Mr. W. Roberts, the patentee of various pumps
employed with success on board her Majesty's ships
of war, yesterday produced a couple of pumps con-
structed on an improved principle, capable of being
transported from place to place by a single man.
These pumps way be employed as fire engines. They
were tested by permission of the War Department,
in presence of Col. St. John, R.A., C. 8., President,
Col. Lefroy, R.A., F.R.S., secretary, and the mem-
bers of the select committeeof the Arsenal at Wool-
wich, who pronounced their efficiency and portabi-
lity a most important consideration.
The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty :—Commander W. E. Fisher,
to the Hawke, additional, for service in the Ferret;

DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL THE HON. FREDERIC
T. PELHAM, C.B.—We learn that Rear-Admiral
the Hon. Frederic T. Pelham, who so recently re-
signed his office as one of the Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty, expired at nine o'clock yesterday
morning at his temporary residence at Brighton.
The death of thislgallant officer 'although unattended
with the awful suddenness of his late colleague,
Vice-Admiral Sir Richard S. Dundas, has cast a
deeper gloom over the Admiralty. A fortnight
has not yet elapsed since he tendered the resigna-
tion of his seat at the Admiralty Board on account
of his failing health. Although for some time past
his impaired health has occasioned some uneasiness
to his family connections, yet they were not pre-
pared for the melancholy event which has taken
place. The deceased admiral, who was the second
son of Thomas, second Earl of Chichester, by Lady
Mary Henrietta Osborne, eldest daughter of Fran-
cis, fifth Duke of Leeds, was born 2d August, 1808;
and married 20th July, 1841, Ellen Kate, daughter
of Mr; Rowland Mitchell, by whom he leaves a
youthful family. He entered the navy in June,
1823 ; and, while midshipman in the Sybille, 48,
Captain S. J. Pechell, was present, in. 1826, in an
attack on pirates in the Grecian Archipelago. He
was employed for some years on the coast of Spain,
in the Castor, 36, under Captain Lord John Hay,
in assisting the constitutional Government of Spain
against the Carlists. For his services on that par-
ticular duty he received the Cross of San Fernando
from the Queen of Spain. In May, 1847, he was
appointed to the command of the Odin steam-frigate,
on the Mediterranean station. On the Duke of
Northumberland accepting office as First Lord of the
Admiralty, in the Earl of Derby's first Administra-
tion, Captain Pelham was selected by his grace to
act as his private secretary at the Admiralty. In
August, 1853, Capt. Pelham was appointed to the
Blenheim, 60, to command the steam reserve at
Portsmouth, and which ship formed afterwards one
of the fleet commanded by the late Admiral Sir
Charles Napier in the Baltic. After distinguishing
himself at the bombardment of Bomarsund, where
he landed a 10-inch gun, placed it in position, and
attacked the principal Russian fort with success,
the gun's crew escaping with only one casualty, he
returned home overland to commission the Ex-
mouth, 91, at Devonport. In the spring of 1855,
on the late Vice-Admiral Sir R. S. Dundas taking
the command of the Baltic fleet, he selected Cap-
tain Pelham to discharge the onerous duties of
captain of the fleet. At the bombardment of Swea-
borg he greatly distinguished himself by his ac-
tivity and gallantry. On a vacancy occurring in
the Admiralty Board by the resignation in 1857 of
Admiral the Hon. Sir Maurice F. Berkeley, the de-
ceased was appointed a Junior Lord of the Ad-
miralty, an appointment he held only for a few
months. On the change of Government in 1859,
when Lord Palmerston again took office as First
Lord of the Treasury, he was, for the second
time appointed to a seat at the Admi-
ralty Board. In July, 1855, he was nominated
a Companion of the Order of the Bath for his ser-
vices during the Russian war. For some years,
until he obtained his flag rank, he was one of the
naval aides-de-camp to her Majesty. His commis-
sions bore date as follows :—Lieutenant, Feb. 22,
1830; commander, Sept. 21,1835 ; captain, July 4,
1840; and rear-admiral, March 6, 1858.
DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL TIIE HON. J. F.
FITZGERALD DE Ros.—We have to record the
demise of Rear-Admiral the Hon. S. F. Fitzgerald
De Ros, who died on Wednesday last at his resi-
dence in Piccadilly. The deceased admiral was the
youngest son of Lord Henry Fitzgerald, third son
of the first Duke of Leinster and Charlotte Baroness
De Ros, and brother of the present premier peer of
England and the Countess Cowley. He was born
March 6, 1804, and at the age of fourteen entered
the navy as midshipman on board the Ton-
nant, 80, flag-ship of Admiral Sir Ben-
jamin Hallowell. He afterwards served under
Captains the Hon. R. Cavendish Spencer
and Hon. Frederick Spencer, on the Mediter-
ranean and South American stations. In June, 1827,
he was appointed to the Royal Sovereign yacht,
in which he accompanied the late King, then Duke
of Clarence and Lord High Admiral, as flag lieute-
nant, in his first visit to the outports. When com-
mander of the Algerine, 10, on the South American
station, he succeeded at Cape Frio in recovering a
considerable portion of the treasure from the wreck
of her Majesty's ship Thetis, and for that service re-
ceived the warm thanks of the Oommander-in-Ch ief.
He was a Fellow of the Royal Society, and had con-
tributed to literature an interesting " Narrative of
Travels" made by him in the United States and
Canada, together with " Observations on the Mari-
time Resources of North America and the State of
the Dockyards and Navy." The gallant admiral's
commissions were dated as annexed—Lieutenant,
May 30, 1825 ; commander, Jan. 24, 1828 ; captain,
Feb. 7, 1835 ; and rear-admiral, on reserved half-
pay, Feb. 14, 1857.
