object to the officers of the foreign diplomatic mis-

passing freely along the road, and would reduce all
communication to writing between a minister and
his own consul not 17 miles off. This may suffice
for a specimen of the spirit at work and the diffi-
culties in the way of both British and American
representatives in their efforts to obtain a fair in-
terpretation of treaties, and the removal of obsta-

POLICE INTELLIGENCE, Nov. 1.

LAMBETH.-CAUTION TO PERSONS ABOUT TO

MARRY.—A fashionably-dressed female, whose ap-
pearance and manner bore evident proof of respec-
tability, applied to Mr. Yardley for his advice and
assistance under the following somewhat singular
and distressing circumstances :
She stated that about three months ago a
foreigner, of gentlemanly appearance, followed her
in the street, and addressing her in broken Eng-
lish, begged permission to address her. his appear-
ance being that of a gentleman, she complied with
his request, and he then represented that he was an
Italian by birth, and a musician by profession, and
had a great desire to get settled in London.
He also said he had a great desire to get married,
and offered to make her his wife. She of course

told him that, being a perfect stranger to her, she
could not say anything on a subject so important,
but that if, after an introduction to her family, he
was found to be what he represented, she should
take their judgment in the matter. An appoint-
ment was arranged for a second interview, and after
that she introduced the gentleman to her father,
who approved of him as her future husband, and
three weeks ago they were married with the per-
fect concurrence of her friends. Previous to
the marriage taking place her husband repre-
sented that his father kept a music warehouse
at Manchester, and was a man of considerable
wealth, and that he had lived with him up to a
short time since, when, on account of religious
differences—his father being a Catholic and he
himself a Protestant—they had agreed to part,
his father at that time consenting to hand him
over £l,OOO as soon ashe got settled. He further re-
presented that he could earn £3 and upwards a-
week at his profession as a musician, but from the
day of their marriage up to Saturday last, when he
disappeared, he had not earned asixpence, and kept
freely spending her money. The week before last
it was arranged that they should leave town on a
visit to his father at Manchester, and for this pur-
pose he had packed up the wearing apparel of both
in the same boxes, but hadby one excuse or the other
delayed the time for a week. On Saturday morn-
ing last he received a letter, which he said etas
from his father, requiring his immediate presence
in Manchester, and suggested that as she was not
prepared to leave at the moment he should go
alone, and on reaching there should send for her.
Having no suspicions of his intention, she did
not offer any objection to this arrangement, and
her husband started away with the whole of
the boxes, &c., since which she had not heard a
syllable from him. On the day before she (appli-
cant) called on a tailor on whom she had given her
husband an order for a suit. of clothes, in hope of
being able to learn something about him, and he
referred her to the shop of a tailor in the City,
where she learned, from the description she had
given of him, that he was only a journeyman tailor,
and had been employed there about a month before,
and further that he was a married man at that time.
Mr. Yardley observed that if this was the fact,
that he was a married man at the time he married
the applicant, he could be severely punished.
The applicant said her husband, as she called him,
had carried away her gold watch and chain, and
dresses belong to her to a considerable amount, be-
sides spending upwards of £7O in money, her sav-
ings, and she wished to know whether he could
return and earry away her goods, as she was told
he could.
Mr. Yardley said he should protect her against
that, and advised her at once to proceed to the
station-house close by, and give a description of the
person she spoke about, and he had no doubt that
every exertion would be made to trace him out,
and also to ascertain his previous history.
The applicant said she should act upon his wor-
ship's suggestion, and having thanked his worship
for the attention with which he had heard her,
proceeded to the station-house.
CASE OF VIOLATION.—The magistrate was en-
gaged for some time in further investigating the
charge of rape against James Stephen Rowe, and
after receiving the testimony of the whole of the
witnesses, strongly confirmatory of his guilt, he
committed the prisoner for trial.
Mr. S. Solomon, who attended for the prisoner,
applied for his being admitted to bail, but his ap-
plication was refused, Mr. Yardley remarking
that the charge was of too serious a character.

HAMMERSMITH.— ROBBERIES IN OMNI-
BUSES.—SINGULAR CASE.—Louisa Ward, a middle-
very genteely attired, was brought
uagpedonwomm,
remandr before Mr. Ingham, charged with
stealing a purse containing gold and silver from the
dress-pocket of a lady named Elizabeth French,
while riding in a Richmond omnibus.
When the prisoner was first examined the evi-
dence was exceedingly slight against her, but it
will be seen that on this occasion the case assumed
a different appearance. On Friday afternoon, the
21st ult., Mrs. French, who resides at Richmond,
entered an omnibus at that place for London. and
sat down next to the prisoner, Who was also a pas-
senger. The prosecutrix had her purse, which
1
contained a sovereign, a half-sovereign, and
19s. in silver, in her dress-pocket, on the right-
hand side, next to the prisoner. Mrs. French
noticed that she appeared very
of fidgety,
and upon reaching the middle
Ham-
mersmith she suddenly alighted and went
off in a great hurry. The omnibus went
on again, and had not proceeded
eodeodftlaormboo. Theeforeit
stopped to take up a lady and
prosecutrix lifted her dress to make room, and she
then noticed that her pocket felt very light, and
upon feeling she immediately missed her purse. She
at once made her loss known, and another pas-
senger, who had also noticed the prisoner's fidgety
conduct, suspected her of the robbery, and went in
search of her. He was unable to find her, but
shortly afterwards, while he was standing in the
Broadway with the prosecutrix, he observed the
prisoner approaching from the direction of the
Bridge-road. She was then given into custody,
but she stoutly denied the robbery, and neither the
purse nog its contents could be found. However,
on being searched, two pocket-books and a card-
case were found upon her, also two bunches of keys.
When before the magistrate she said she had picked
up one of the bunches of keys in town, and
that the other things belonged to her. She
also spoke of her high respectability, and that she
received favours from the Hon. Mrs. Lamb, of
Richmond, and further, that her son had been
educated by the Duke of Devonshire. The magis-
'trate was at first disposed to believe that the pri-
soner was innocent of the charge, and ought to be
acquitted, but upon it appearing from the evidence
of the constable that she told him that after leaving
the omnibus she made a visit to a female at 9A,
Brook-street, Hammersmith, which turned out to
be untrue, he remanded her for a few days, but
offered to take bail. On the next examination, Mrs.
French added some facts to her evidence which
strengthened the suspicions against her. She
stated that, while in the omnibus, she felt a hand
along the right side of her waist, and that when
she reached the station she found the frill of her
jacket turned up, which was not the case before she
entered the omnibus. It was also stated by Sergeant
Oatley that a tumbler, which was found upon the
prisoner, had been stolen from a public-house
at Richmond, but that the °wosr refused
to press the charge. Upon the application
of this officer, who was instructed to make inquiric a,
she was further remanded.

Miss Louisa Dunk, a young lady, residing at 13,
Clarendon-villas, Clarendon-road, Notting-hill, now
stated that on the 15th ult. she was riding in an
omnibus with her sister, when on reaching Oxford-
street a female, very much resembling the prisoner,
got in, and sat down next to her on the right side.
The omnibus was very much crowded, and during
the journey she thought she felt the woman's hand
in her pocket. She felt for her purse and found it
safe. Shortly afterwards the woman got out of the
omnibus and went away. When they reached near
London-bridge she felt again for her purse, and
it was gone. It was a pocket-book and purse com-
bined, and contained half a sovereign and some silver.
Sergeant Oatleyproduced one of the pocket-books
found upon the prisoner, and the witness immedi-
ately identified it as the one she had lost. She
knew the book by its general appearance, and also
because it still bore some of her handwriting upon
the leaves. She also added that the more she saw
the prisoner the more convinced she was that she
was the sam?, woman who got into the omnibus and
sat next to her.
Miss Elizabeth Duuk also gave similar evidence.
Mr. Martin, who appeared for the prisoner on
this occasion, offered no defence, and said his client,
by his advice, would plead guilty to the first case.
Mr. Ingham inquired if she was known.
Inspector Grimmer, of the T division, said she
had been seen by a constable from each division,
and they were unable to identify her.
Mr. Ingham then asked the prisoner if she pleaded
guilty or not guilty.
The prisoner said she bought the
pocket-book of
A woman in Oxford-street for Gd.
