POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Diy.

DESTPXCTION OF PROPERTY AT CREMORNE.- -At the
Westminster Police-court, a man, named Sturge, was sen-
tenced to pay a fine of 2,05., or in default fourteen days'
imprisonment, for wilfully damaging and carrying away
part of the fence of Ashburnham House, adjoining Cremorne
Gardens. The proprietor of the house and grounds having
continually lost part of hiS fence and found other portions
of it dammed, at last employed watchmen and' policemen
to look after the premises. One of the constables suc-
ceeded in detecting the prisoner in the very net of tearing
up and carrying away Wood. The prisoner, besides the
penalty, was ordered to pay the amount of the damage, Bj.
MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE S SISTER. —At the
Clerkenwell Police-court, a woman applied to the magis-
trate for a summons against the father of her four children,
to compel him to contribute towards their maintenance.
She stated that some years ago she had been induced to
marry her deceased sisters husband, by whom she had had
four children. Her huklJand, however, illused her, and
on application to the magistrate she was advised
to go to the guardians Of the parish, when she would
be taken into the house,- and the guardians would
sue her husband for the cost of maiatenance. She
followed the advice, and stopped in the house for three
weeks, when the guardians wrote to her husband, who re-
plied that she was not legally his wife, and he declined to
pay. She was then told to apply to the magistrate and
state the circumstances, and ask for four summonses
for the children, they being by law illegitimate. Mr.
Cooke said that if no better mode of redress could be
thought of he would grant the summonses.

DARING HIGHWAY ROBERT IN THE MINORIES.—TWO
young men, named Houghton and M`Cann, were charged
at the Mansion House, before the Lord Mayor, with being
concerned in a robbery on Alfred Cotham, a pawn-
broker's assistant in the Minories. The prosecutor was
passing through the Minories on his way home on Saturday
night at twenty minutes to twelve, when a man came out
of Hanover-court and made a snatch at his watch, taking
away part of the chain. At this moment Houghton came
out of the same court, and, taking hold of him by the
collar, askei him what he had lost. The other
man thus got away, but Houghton was taken into
custody for being concerned in the robbery. M`Cann
was apprehended outside of the police station, and
identified as the person who actually committed the theft.
—Sergeant Moss said there had been three robberies
within the week at the same place, conducted in precisely
the same way.—The Lord Mayor remanded the prisoners,
and it was stated that in all likelihood some of their
companions would be captured in the meantime.

CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT BY AN OLD SERVANT.—
William Fogwill, a respectable-looking man, was brought
up at Southwark for final examination, charged with em-
bezzling various sums of money received on account of his
employers, Messrs. Silver and Co., Gun and Shot Wharf,
Tooley-street. It appeared that the prisoner had been
the employ of the prosecutors nearly twenty-one
years. He had been clerk and cashier at the Gun
and Shot Wharf, and it was his duty to
receive money, enter ;it in a cash-book, and, after
deducting petty cash paid by him, to account for the
same to witness or the sup3rintendent. For so sae time
past several accounts appeared to be outstanding which
ought to have been paid, and on making inquiries it was
found that they had been paid. The prisoner was
questioned about them, and he admitted receiving the
money from a number of customers and converting it to
his own use. Mr. Silver consequently called a constable
and gavejhim into custody.—He was committed for trial.

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.—The sixth of a series of
reports upon certain railway accidents that occurred
during the months of September, October, and November
of last year has recently been published. The series con-
tains particulars of ten accidents; two of which occurred on
the Lancashire and Yorkshire, two on the Waterford and
Kilkenny, and:the rest severally on the Caledonian, Furness,
Great Northern, North-Eastern, North London, and South-
fatal result is recorded in one instance
Eastern Railways. A
only, but a review of this series of reports shows that the
defective state of the permanent way is a frequent cause of
railway accidents, and that collisions usually occur from
neglect on the part of the company's servants in the manage-
ment of the points and signals. The single fatal accident
took place on the Furness Railway, and was caused, ac-
cording to the report of the inspector, " by driving at too
great a rate of speed with as engine which, from its con-
struction, is not calculated to sun steadily at high
speed." The train left the rails near the Cork station,
the engine fell over on its left side, the driver was killed
on the spot, but no ono else appears to have been se-
riously injured. The excessive carelessness of signalmen
is emphasized by Colonel Yolland in his report of an
accident that occurred on the 6th of November last on the
North London Railway,' and he concludes tho report by
saying that " such neglect must be regarded almost as
the necessary result of working traffic on the block
system."
The foundation-stone of the new fort about to be
erected do St:. Katherine's Rock, Tenby, has been laid by
Capt. Clements, Royal Engineers, in the presence of a
number of officers and others connected with the Pembroko
dock garrison. The clearing and levelling of the apex of
the rock in order that the foundations might be firmly laid
had been going on for months past, and the fort buildings
will be at once proceeded with. The contractor is Mr.
George Thomas, rombroke.

NAVAL AND MILITARY I:\ TELLIGENCE.

The gentlemen cadets of the Royal Military Aca-
demy at Woolwich, having completed the Christmas
holidays, resumed their duties at the establishment
this morning, and they will be continued uninter-
ruptedly until June. The half-year (the third and
last of Prince Alfred's studies at the academy) will
then, it is stated, be brought to a close by the pre-.
sence of her Majesty, who, it is rumoured, has gra-
ciously signified her intention of visiting the esta-
blishment at the " breaking up," preparatory to the
Prince's taking his final departure,•on being com-
missioned as a lieutenant in the Royal Artillery, for
which he has elected. The following is the new
arrangement for the hours of study, meals, &c. :
Breakfaqs in summer and winter to commence at
7 45, and the first study to be hc]d from 8 30 to 11,
after which the cadets will assemble for half an
hour to lunch, but in Winter it will only occupy 20
minutes. At 11 30 they will go through a course.
of drills for an hour and a half. The second studies
will commence at 1 and terminate at 3 in summer ;
and in winter at 12 30 and close at 2 30 ; dinner
from 3 15 till four insurnmer, and from 2 45 to 3 30
in winter ; recreation, 4 to 6 in summer, and from
330t0 5 30 in winter. The third study will be
in summer floin G to 8, and winter froni a 30 to
7 30; prayers and tea, 8 15 to 8 45 ; roll-callat 10
and " lights out" at 10 30 throughout the year. The
A division, Ist class, have the privilege of retaining
their lights until 11.

Public opinion at Aldershot, both in military and
civil circles, is greatly in favour of the selection of
the vicinity of the camp for the Easter Monday
Review. Facility of access, the military advantages'
of the neighbourhood, and the ease with which the
Aldershot division could be made available to re-
present either an attacking or defending force, are
points generally discussed. It is felt that not until
the Regulars, the Militia, and the Volunteers are
seen'acting in concert will the chief merits and de,
feats of ,each service be satisfactorily ascertained,
and that no place can afford a better field than
Aldershot for the advantages of joint training in
briglide or at review.

The 68th (Durham) Light Infantry, under
the command of Colonel Greer, C. 8., left Aldershot
Camp on Friday, and proceeded by s,pecial train to
Manchester.

A court-martial was held on Saturday on board
the flagship Royal Adelaide, in Hamoaze, for the
trial of James Anderson, alias Loam, ordinary sea-
man of her Majesty's ship Canopus, for endeavour-
ing to seduce John Allen, an A.B. of the latter
ship, from his allegiance, &c. The Court consisted
of Capts. G. W. Preedy, of the Royal Adelaide,
president; E. W. Vansittart, Achilles; G. 0.
Willes, Indus ; C. H. May, of the Defence; the
Hon. F. A. C. Foley, of the Cambridge ; and F.
Tremlett, of the Impregnable. Mr. Eastlake, De-
puty Judge-Advocate of the Fleet, was present on
the part of the Crown. Capt. Napier, of the Ca-
nopus, prosecuted, and Mr. T. C. Brian, solicitor,
was the prisoner's friend. It appeared that on Sa-
turday, the 4th ult., Allen was smoking on the
maindeck, when the prisoner, who was a stranger
to him, accosted him 'and told him that he had known
him when on board the Donegal. After some con-
versation they went between the guns, when the
prisoner informed Allen that since be was dis-
charged from the Donegal he had been to Liver-
pool, where he had joined the Fenians. He had
been at M'Cornack's eating-house, where
ehe had
met Daley, Burke, and others, and had been drilled
with them. In consequence of the money they
had given him he had been doing well. The pri-
soner further stated that Daley was at that time
in Plymouth, and held meetings at the College-
green beerhouse, in Cornwall-street, Devon-
port, and at. the Ocean Mail public-house, Ply-
mouth, and that preparations were making on
shore to get a torpedo under the stern of the Cano-
pus and blew her up. After some unimportant
conversation it was arranged that Allen should on
Monday night go to both the houses named, in
order, if possible, to meet with Daley, and that he
was to take with him a note of recommendation,
bearing the prisoner's signature. Priioner also
gave Allen the form of an oath, which, lie stated,
'was administered to all persons on -their, initiation
as Fenians. He inquired if there was a magazine
on board the Canopus, and if there was one in the
dockyard, and expressed his determination to blow
up the house of the master-at-arms, who had been
instrumental in discovering that he bad entered the

police, and a few days afterwards, when the prisoner
and he were proceeding to the supposed rendezvous
at Millbay, they were both apprehended, but Allen
was afterwards liberated. At 5 o'clock the Court
adjourned until this morning, when the
evidence
for
the prosecution will be resumed. It may be proper
at once to state that the police have not been able
to obtain any evidence to confirm the prisoner's
statements about the assembly of Feniana
or
of
supposed Fenians at the College Green
or the Ocean Mail tavern.

THE M.AISON DOREE.—We live in an 'age of pro-
gress, and consequently of improvement. Enterprise and
speculation are rife at the present time, and, based upon
the experience of the past, they seem to go hand in hand
towards success and fortune. The late grand universal
Exhibition has given a great impetus to all commercial and
enterprising establishments, and the savoir vivre, or best
manner of living, is wonderfully shown at the Maison Doree,
which was opened for the first time in Glasshouse-street,
Regent-street, only a few months ago, which then took
the West-end, we may say, by storm, and which has ever
since maintained its self-stamped reputation among gour-
mets, bons vivants, and, in fact, all lovers of good cheer
Its luncheon bar would be the envy of the most fastidious
Parisian epicure, and its splendid dining-room would, by
its stylish "lay out," give an appetite to the most blasé of
mortals. The appointments of its private rooms for parties
are in every way contrite itfaut, and while Parisian ele-
gance has been strictly followed out, English comfort has
been closely attended to in the getting up of the establish-
ment. The culinary department is under the direction of
English and foreign chefs, who vio with each other in
producing the ne plus ultra of wholesome and relic ling
dishes. The wines, imported direct from the growers,
bear the stamp of genuineness with them, and are placed
before the visitors at, we may say, wholesale prices. ' The
attendance leaves nothing to be wished for, and we feel
much pleasure in stating that the Lon ion Maison Doree,
although tearing the same name as its sister house in
Paris, is under the able management of an Englishman.
True it-is that the said manager was long connected with
Philippe's, the Rocher de Camale, and other hist-class
restaurants in the capital of La Bella Prance, before being
appointed' to the Maison Doree ; and verilyisvay we-, the
proprietor was well inspired.
A CurroN MILL BURNT DOWN.—On Friday
morning • 'the Lumford cotton-mills, situate at Bakowell,
Derbyshire, were totally destroyed by fire, involving a
loss of 413,000. The fire originated in one of the spin-
ning rooms, on the third story, and in less than an hour the
whole building was in flames. The mill, which was in-
sured for £3,000, belonged to his Grace the Duke of Devon-
shire. :`The property was rented by Messrs. Jones and
Sons, of Manchester, who, in addition to the material,
owned' the working plant. Their loss is estimated at
£lO,OOO, and they are insured for £7,000.

A detachment of the Southampton volunteers has
been tinder arms during the last two nights, guarding
their tit moury, in consequence of a letter received by ono
of the officers, written on paper ii use in the Ordnance
Survey Office in the town, warning him that an attack
would be made for the purpose of securing arms and am-
munition, of which, however, there was none in the
building, which is merely a private house. The affair is
believed to be a hoax.

MARKETS--(this Day.)

CORN.

The weather since the last market has bean broken,
with heavy rain at intervals, causing some interruption in
farming operations, but the accounts are not, on the whole,
unfavourable.

The general aspect of the grain trade is quiet, with ♦ery
moderate supplies hi the principal country markets; good
dry samples of wheat as well as spring corn are firm, whilst
damp and indifferent qualities are purchasable for the most
part ou easier terms.

Business at Mark-lane opened this morning with a mo-
derate attendance, light supplies, a quiet trade with a
steady tone about prices.
The show of English wheat was moderate, rather vari-
able in quality and condition. The better samples met a
good demand, and realised fully late rates, but secondary
sorts were not dearer.

Foreign supplies of wheat were light and were well
held, and stiffer rates were asked for desirable qualities.
The Flour trade was Arm, with transactions of fair ex-
tent both iq English and foreign.
Malt sold slowly, at about late rates.

Bar ey realised steady prices generally, but only mode-
rate sales of either malting or grinding. polities %age
effected.

Beans were iu limited supply and the turn dearer.
lies sold slowly, but hollers wcre ilrm, and more
money was asked.

Oais were in short supply, and moved off slowly at firm

prices.

The demand for seeds was not active, but quite late
rates were paid for all descriptions.

NENVGATE AND LEADENHALL.

The supplies of dead meat are quite equal to the demand,
which is not brisk, and prices aro without mach variation.
