POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
ROBBERY AT A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENTS.—Mary
Ann Ray, a prostitute, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt
with being drunk and in possession of some table napkins
of the value of £5, the property of Mr. Henry John Adeane,
M.P. for Cambridgeshire, and residing at 8, Seamore-
place, Mayfair.

Charles Langham, 108 C, said he was on duty in Hill
street, Berkeley-square, and saw the prisoner examining
some property in a bundle. He then asked her what she
had got and she replied, " That's my business," and as she
would give no satisfactory account of the way in which
she got possession of four napkins the bundle
contaiued, he took her into custody. At the station on the
napkins wero found the initials and address, 8, Seamore-
place, and on reference to the "Directory," they were
found to be the property of Mr. Adeane, member of Par-
liament. The prisoner told him she had them given to her
by a servant to get washed.
Joseph Gray, butler to Mr. Adeane, 8, Seamore-place,
Mayfair, said the napkins were the property of Mr. Adeane.
They had been used the previous day, and were put away
in the Roiled linen ling, (ma ho did zbvlli v u they had been
given out to wash. He knew nothing of the prisoner.
Langham said that ten napkins were found altogether on
the prisoner—six being found by the searcher.
Prisoner said a gentleman's servant in Park-lane gave
her a pint of beer, and then gave her the napkins to wash.
She did not know him, but he said he would meet her the
next night and pay her.
Welsh, the gaoler, said that she had been at the court
before on a somewhat similar charge.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should remand the prisoner that
some one might come from Mr. Adeane's to prove the
articles were not given out to bo washed.
On the prisoner being taken to the cells she asked the
gaoler whether he thought it likely that if she had taken
the things from the house she would not have also taken
" a little bit of plate."

THE BUILDERS' STRIKE.—The masons' com
mittee yesterday report that four additional employers have
accepted the terms of the compromise, viz., Messrs. Gibbs,
of Chelsea; Pearce, of Garden-street; Nixon, of Lambeth ;
and Deards, of Blackfriars. The committee yesterday paid
about 600 men their dividend from the subscriptions re-
ceived from the country. There are more masons now out
than there were during the lock-out of 1859 .60. Reports of
a favourable character wore brought in from the deputa-
tion which had waited on some of the large employers,
many of whom had expressed themselves favourable to the
compromise, and would send positive replies in a day or
two. The bricklayers last evening withdrew their men
from the works of Messrs. Cubitt, Gray's-inn-road.
Efforts are being made to raise a Volunteer
Marine Battalion of six companies, the head-quarters of
which are to be in London, the First Lord of the Admiralty
for the time being to be ex officio honorary colonel. It is
proposed to raise one company for the metropolis, and the
remainder on the seaboard of Great Britain, or at a distance
not exceeding 12 miles inland. In the event of invasion, or
urgent circumstances, in the opinion of the Government,
requiring the assistance of the battalion, they will be liable
to be called upon to serve in marine fortresses, or on beard
of guard or block ships ; but should their services be fur-
ther required they will be allowed to volunteer to do duty
as Marines on board any of her Majesty's ships at a dis-
tance of not more than ten miles from the coast of Great
