CECRETART.
Mr. E. Guest.
This Company, as a commencement, have purchased an old-esta-
blished business with one of the largest stocks in London, situated at
the corner of Holland-street, 253. Blackfriars-road, and 32, John-
street, the late proprietor of which, Mr. Frederick F. Shaw, has
engaged to continue in the active management of the concern, and
to make his remuneration nominal till after the shareholders have
received 8 per cent. dividend. From a most reasonable estimate it
is calculated that 15 per cent. will be the lowest dividend ever paid.
Applications for the remaining shares may be made to the Secre-
tary, at the Offices, 253, Blackfriars-road.

: R. HOWARD, surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
,. vr street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
.ICIAL TEEThl,fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
,erfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
he original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
!ecay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
,peration, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is.
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. DecaYed teeth
ran lered sound and useful in mastication.--52, Fleet-street. At

POLICE INTELT IGENCE—Feb. 23

BOW-STREET.----A well-dressed, military-looking,
elderly man with a bald head, thick white moustache,
beard, and whiskers, and generally good " inske up," was
charged by Majar-Goneral Lord Itokeby, with fraudulently
obtaining `l. from him for a pretended charitable pUrpose.
The prisoner first called upon his lordship ou the 14th of
January, when he presented a letter purporting to be writ-
ten by a Mrs. Duke, now in great distress, but formerly
under more prosperous circumstancesknown to his lordship.
The letter was most artfully written, cone nndng by a dis-
avowal on the part of the writer of any claim upon his lord-
ship, but expressing confidence in his generosity, and beg-
ging him to help ono who had been cruelly neglected bf
those upon whom she had claims. She sail that she was in
" a state of the most appalling destitution," and must hare
literally starved but for the kindness of Mr. Wilson, the
bearer of the letter, who Alio sail was "generosity itself,"
but whose means were limited and who had a largo family
of his own. She added that she was suffering from para-
lysis, and that the heartless landlor I was about to turn her
out into the streets. The prisoner gave such an account of
the woman's antecedents as entirely agreed with so much of
the facts as his lordship WAR acquainted with. He had
already a strong feeling in favour of Mrs. Duke, believing
that she had been very cruelly treated by the persons al-
luded to in her letter, and the prisoner pleaded her cause
with such earnest eloquence, and drew so vivid and pathe-
tic a picture of her sufferings, that his lordship was deeply
affected. He gave the prisoner 51. on that occasion.
Subsequently the prisoner called again with a second letter,
containing the warmest protestations of gratitude for the
Si., and declaring that his lordship and Mr. Wilson were
the only persons who had shown the least sympathy for
her, and that she would bless them with her last breath.
She added, however, that her health was still worse; that
she had had two fits of paralysis since her last letter, and
that she was gradually sinking. Neither of these letters
contained the writer's address, but even this circumstance
did not excite the suspicions of the noble complainant, who
on this occasion gave the prisoner Si. A few days ago the
prisoner called with a third letter, in which the pretended
Mrs Duke declared herself worse than ever. She feared she
must be removed to the workhouse, but doubted whether
she should live to reach it. This letter being dated from
"7, Felix-street, Lambeth," his lordahin determined to
call there and inquire into the case, but, a ithout informing
the prisoner of this intention, made an appointment t.,
meet him at the Wellington Barracks on Saturday. On
calling at Felix-street, his lordship discovered that no such
person as Mrs. Duke lived there. He then communicated
with Sir R. Mayne, who instructed Inspector Thornbury,
of the detective force, to take the matter up. Accordingly
the inspector, with Sergeant Smith of the s sme force, was
in attendance on Saturday when the prisoner called at the
'Wellington Barracks by appointment. His lordship told
the prisoner he had discovered that the story was a fabri-
cation, when the prisoner begged his lordship not to pro-
secute him and offered to return the money. His loid hip
called in the detectives and gave him in charge.
Mr:Burnaby, the chief clerk, read the whole of the let-
ters, and called his worship's attention to the circumstance
that the hand writing, which in the first was firm and re-
sgeucloanr,

cisely to correspond with the alleged gradual sinking of the
system under increasing infirmity.
The prisoner, who appeared very much agitated, declined
to say anything in defence, but throw himself on the mercy
of the court. He refused to state his add' CR, or occupation,
or give his real name, but admitted that it was not Wilson.
Mr. Henry said if the prisoner could not give a satisfac-
tory explanation, ho (the magistrate) would commit him
for three months. In the meanwhile, however, he must
be remanded to give time for further inquiries. •

SOUTHWARK.— George Smith end Emma Smith,
husband and wife, well known as wholesale coiners and
utterers of base coin, were brought bsfore Mr. Burchain,
by Inspector Brennan, and other officers of the G division,
specially employed by the Mint authorities, charged with
manufacturing counterfeit florins and shillings.
Mr. Jarman, from the Treasury, attended to prosecute.
Inspector Brennan stated that, from information ho re-
ceived, he proceeded on Saturday morning, at 11. o'clock,
with Inspector Bryant, Sergeant Brennan, and Police-con-
stables Evans and Elliot, to Castle-buildings, Long-13ne,
Bermondsey, a very low neighbourhood, and having ascer-
tained the suspected house, witness broke open the street-
door an I rushed in, followed by the other officers. The
house contained four rooms, and he met the male prisoner
coming down hurriedly from the first floor. He was imme-
diately captured by Inspector Bryant and Sergeant Bren-
nan. In the first floor back room witness perceived the
female prisoner breaking up moulds on the floor with her
feet. Ho, however' prevented her from entirely demolish-
ing them, when he found they had beoen recently used in
manufacturing florins and shillings. On the fire was a ladle
containing fused metal, and in the fire-place he picked up
several counterfeit florins and shillings which had just been
taken from the mould. He also found a small box, which
contained acidi, sand, and small files, used is finishing
counterfeit coin.
Inspector Bryant said he entered the room upstairs after
the prisoners were secured, and he picked up three counter-
feit florins. Evans also picked up two on the stairs, and
Sergeant Brennan found on the male prisoner a genuine
florin and shilling, which hal been used in the moulds.
Mr. Jarman, asked for a remand until Saturday, to give
the authorities an opportunity of making fuither inquiries
about the prisoners.
Mr. Bingham accordingly remanded them until Satur-
day, and ordered the keys of their house to bo given up by
the police to their friends.

TATTERSALL'S—moNnAr.
Although we were enabled to comb le a somewhat
long list of quotations, yet the actual business trans-
acted was very limited. Time was principally occupied
by the settling of the Lincoln accounts.
LIVERPOOL STEEPLECHASE.-9 to 1 was once betted
against Minos, but at the close he was supported at 8 to
1. Escape, whose retragression we recorded a fsrtnight
ago, advanced to 100 to 8. In City circles he bad been
backed for some money at 100 to 7. Jean du Qaesne
was in much request at 20 to 1. Early in the afternoon
25 to 1 was taken about Freetrader, but at the close 20
to 1 was booked.
Two THOUSAND.-5 to 1 was offered on the field, 6
to 1 would have been taken to money about Loyola.
The odds quoted against Vedette were booked four or
five times.
DERBY.—The principal investment was that which
caused the return of Blink Bonny to 14 to I. A t first
25 to 1 to 101. and 20 to 1 to 501. were laid against her,
and at last 14 to 1 to 1001, was taken. Zuyder Zee
seemed to have an upward tendency at the odds quoted.
22 to 1 was betted against Bird-in-the• Hand, and after•
wards offered. Kent was firm at 23 and 30 to 1, the
latter odds being with difficulty obtained.
