POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY.

B 0 W-STREET.

THE LIVERPOOL SUMMER Cu.—Joseph Smith
again surrendered to a charge of stealing various
letters containing orders for the payment of certain
sums of money, prizes won by the " Lucky Bag"
in the "Liverpool Cup Spec.",
It will be recollected that the prisoner resided
with his father, a newsvendor, in Graystoke-place,
Shoe-lane, and the prosecutor was Mr. F. Farrah,
newspaper publisher, 282, Strand. The prosecutor was
the proprietor of the " Lucky Bag," and on the occa-
sion of the race for the Liverpool Cup a " spec"
was arranged, and books containing some thousands
of tickets were sent round to different parts of the
kingdom to the agents appointed fur the disposal
of them. After the races Mr. Farrah usually re-
ceived a great many tickets from persona who had
won certain sums of money, which was remitted or
paid personally to those entitled to receive it. On
the 22d of July the prisoner presented a ticket or
order (4,946) fur the payment of 545. to the priso-
ner, but for certain reasons the prosecutor refused to
pay it. It was afterwards discovered that the ticket
had been posted from Sheffield, but that by some
means at present unknown it came into the posses-
sion of the prisoner. The evidence on the last occa-
sion was completed as to the ticket 4,946, and to-
day evidence was offered with respect to ticket No.
2,232.

Mr. Thomas Onion said he resided at 36, Hors-
ley-fields, Wolverhampton, and recollected posting
a letter himself, directed to Mr. Farrah, which con-
tained the ticket No. 2,232, with a request that he
would return him tickets to the amount of 10s., the
value he was entitled to receive according to the
conditions of the " Liverpool Summer Cup Spec."
By Mr. Abrams, who appeared for the prisoner
—He sent the letter from Wolverhampton in the
usual way. He directed it and posted it himself.
Mr. Willis Clare, from the General Post-office,
St. Martin's-le-Grand, said he produced four post-
office orders purporting to be signed by Mr. Farrar,
one was from Dudley for £1 195., another from
Seaham, dated April 27, for £1 10s., another was
from Burslem, April 27, for £2, and one from
Ipswich, June 15, for £2. Three of them appear
to have been paid regularly in the Strand, and one
through the Union Bank.

Mr. Farrah was recalled, and said the whole of
the four signatures to the orders were forgeries.
ihree of the letters ought to have come to him on
the 28th of April, and the other June 16. He had
compared the writing with that of the prisoner on
one of the tickets presented by him, and it cor-
responded exactly. His mode of getting cash for
post-office orders he received was to make a list of
the whole he received on a certain day, and send
that into the post-office is the Strand, where he
used to get a cheque for the gross amount. He
never sent a post-office order singly for cash.
Mr. Flower wished to klow how that circum-
stance was to be made evidence in the present
case?

Mr. llyett said it showed that the prisoner had
received the letters in an irregular way, as they
ought to have come to Mr. Fatrah in the usual
manner.

The prosecutor said the circumstance that enabled
him to identify the handwriting of the prisoner on
the post-office orders was in comparing it with that
on the yellow ticket which the prisoner admitted to
be his,

Mr. Farrah was again recalled, and said he did not
offer an opposition to the discharge of Henry
Broad on the former occasion, because he hoped

that from him he should be able to learn bow
the letters were got possession of. He received
an enormous number of letters, and Broad was the
only person who had access to them. He wished
to discover whether the letters containing them
were stolen from his place, or from the Post-
office.

every possible attention. She produced two red
handkerchiefs.

Mr. Bension—Why do you proluce those?

The Complainant,--They were white before I
wiped the:blood off my face. I bled profnsely from
the nose and mouth and my side was injured.
The prisoner, in defence, said that the complain-
ant was exactly in the same condition and bleeding
from the nose and mouth when he met her, and that
she robbed another man of ss.

Benjamin Bryant, No. 121 K, said that he found
the young woman bleeding very much, and the
prisoner near her. The people about the parties
said the prisoner had kicked and beaten the female.

Mr. Benson did not believe what the prisoner
said. He remanded him.

THE DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON 711 E
LONDON AND NOI?7H-WESTERN.

Up to the present time the names of 28 of the
persons who perished have been ascertained, though
the railway officials at Chester think that only from
23 to 25 passengers joined the train there. On
Friday evening it was reported to Mr. Binger, the
general manager of the Chester and Holyhead line,
that Miss Roe, of Dublin, was amongst the killed ;
but yesterday news was received here that, happily,
that lady reached her home in safety. The follow-
ing list of the killed is taken from the last return
made to Mr. Binger :

Lord Farnham, Lady Farnham ; Eliza Strafford,
their housekeeper; Edward Outen, his Lordship's
valet ; Mary Ann Kellet, her Ladyship's maid.; and
Charles Cripps, his Lordship's footman.
William Townend Lund, William B. Parkinson,
and Christopher S. Parkinson, all of Blackburn.
William Smith, the guard.
William Henry Owen, Dublin.

Miss Caroline Lea aal Miss Augusta Lea, o:
Astley-hall, Stourport.

Judge Berwick, of Dublin, and Miss Eliza Ber-
wick, sister of the Judge.
Miss Louisa Symes, Ballybey, Wicklow, and Jane
Ingram, her maid.

Captain J. Priestley Edwards, Fixby-park, near
Huddersfield, and Mr. P. Augustus Edwards, his
son.

Mr. John Aylmer, of Walworth Castle, Dundrum ;
Mrs. Rosina Aylmer, his wife, and Mr. Arthur
Aylmer, his son.
Miss Rose Franks, Dundrum, Dublin.

Mr. Whitmore Scovell, of Windsor Cottages,
Croydon, and Miss Catherine Scovell, of Wycroft,
near Bray.

Joseph Holmes, stoker.
Sir Nicholas Chbinery, Lady Chinnery, and Mr

Chinnery.

Mrs. Adkins and Miss Adkins, of Kidderminster,
(Thirty-one in all.)

The bodies are to be buried here on Tuesday.

There can be little doubt that adJitional names
will be discovered to-day or to-morrow, an], as
already stated, there is reason to fear that the
mortality is not confined to even so large a num-
ber as 33. Some small degree of melancholy com-
fort may arise to the bereaved from the belief that
the death of their relatives was instantaneous. This
is the opinion of the medical men who were on the
spot soon after the occurrence; and the fact that
not a single shout or scream was heard from any
of the blazing carriages would seem to be strongly
in support of that opinion.

DUBLIN, Aug. 22.

CARDIGANSHIRE.—As we predicted a few weeks
ago, Mr. Evan M. Richards, of Swansea, has deter-
mined to come out in the Liberal interest in oppo-
sition to Mr. Edmund Vaughan, the Conservative
candidate. He will have the support of the leading
Liberals, and of the whole party.
CIIELSEA.—The following requisition, addressed
to Mr. George Odger, a working min, received up
to Saturday close upon 1,000 signatures of electors
and claimants for the franchise in the borough of
Chelsea:—" We, the undersigned, desirous of seeing
a working man returned to Parliament for Chelsea,
and believing you to be possessed of talents
and ability which qualify you for that important
position ; and that you will, if elected, maintain
the great principles of equal rights and liberties
for all, request you to come forward as
a candidate for the representation of the
borough of Chelsea, in which case we pledge our-
selves to employ every honourable means to secure
your return." A crowded meeting was held on Sa-
turday night at the Laurie Arms, Hammersmith,
for the purpose of forming a branch of the Work-
ing Men's Electoral Association for the Hammer-
smith district, whose object will be to assist lodgers
in placing their names on the register. Mr. Nieass
took the chair, and the meeting was addressed by
Messers. Mudge, Bickley, Harry, Winter, &c. ; and
it was stated that in that district alone some thou-
sands of votes could be got for Mr. Odger, the
working man's candidate. The new branch was
opened, and a resolution passed in support of the
candidature of Messrs. Dilke and Odger.
DEVON (SOUTH) —on Friday afternoon Viscount
Amberley addressed a crowded meeting at the New
Hall, Tavistock, and afterwards a resolution in his
favour was passed.

HACKNEY.—A crowded and enthusiastic meeting
was held last night at Peel Grove Hall, Bethnal-
green, for the purpose of hearing Lieut.-Colonel
Dickson express his political opinions as candi-
date for the working men's suffrages. Mr.
Edmond Beales, at considerable personal incon-
venience, having come from Cambridge pur-
posely to be present, was unanimously voted to the
chair. He spoke at considerable length upon
the services that Colonel Dickson had rendered
the League. After Colonel Dickson had addressed
the meeting, Mr. Markham moved—" That in the
opinion of this meeting Colonel Dickson is a fit and
proper person to represent this borough in the House
of Commons." Mr. Bush seconded this motion,
which was carried. Mr. Hayes moved " That this
meeting pledges itself to use its utmost endeavours
to secure the gallant colonel's return." An amend-
ment was moved to this by Mr. Webster, but the
original resolution was carried by acclamation.
HARWICH.—An influential deputation of the
electors of Harwich waited upon Mr. C. H. Tur-
ner, the late chairman, and the present vice-chair-
man, of the Great Eastern Railway Company, to
invite that gentleman to allow himself to be put
in nomination on the Liberal interest at the next
election. Mr. Turner, whilst carefully guarding
himself from holding out hopes to the deputation,
thanked them, and, through them, the Liberal elec-
tors of Harwich, most heartily for the honour they
had done him, requesting a short time to con-
sider his reply, and promising that he would answer
the deputation in writing at the earliest possible
moment. In his reply Mr. Turner says :—" Most
of you are doubtless aware that when I was called
upon by the board of directors of the Great Eas-
tern Railway Company to preside as chairman
of the board I felt and publicly expressed my
conviction that it was the duty of myself
and colleagues to inaugurate a new policy
in the interests of the company. That
policy, which I strongly insisted upon, in-
clu led as one of its moat important principles
the renunciation on the part of the directors of any
local influence which their pcsition on the board
might give them, more especially any of a political
character. Now alchoagh I fully believe that, in con-
sequence of the action then taken and since extended
under the presidency of my noble successor, the
present chairman, the company's affairs are being
retrieved, yet I do not think the time has arrived
when I could consistently allow myself to be no-
minated a candi late for an important borough,
forming one principal terminus of the Great Eastern
system. I feel that were I to do so I might lay
myself open to the charge that I had broken my
own rule for my own personal advantage. On these
grounds, and these alone, gentlemen, I feel I must
decline your invitation."

The Derby Meeting will b 3 hold on Tuesday and Wed-.
nesday, and although the first day comes into collision
with the last thy at Scarborough, Mr. Brad&ld's
gathering will be well attended, as Derby is a
favourite place wah the "upper ten." Twelve
horses have been left in in the Tradesmen's Plato
(li miles), and Wild Briar and Annourer, the
former of whom ran fast in the Ebor Handi-
cap, should hit the wiunin; mark. The Drakelow
Stakes (I furlongs) I award to Pantaloon or Parma; the
Chatsworth Stakes (11 miles) to Python or 31.1oonbeam;
and the Chesterfield Stakes (6 furlongs) to Miss Foote or
Amadou. Fur Wednesday three races have closed. To the
Beaufort Cup (6 furlongs) there are fifteen subscriptions,
and Leonie, although she has the comparatively heavy im-
post of Bst 121 b, will win, if she can beat Kettleholler.
In the Nursery Plate (4 furlongs) seventeen horses stave
been handicapped, and the pick of these are Rosecleer, 7e
41b; Saga; Get 121 b ; the colt by Dundee out of Black-
bird, Get 12lb; and Fenian, Est 101 b. The Blackbird colt,-
if sent to Derby, will be successful; but in his absence
Fenian or Rosecleer may win. The Rawdon Handicap
(one mile) has twenty-one nominations, but although
Victress and Adamanthea are well in, I prefer the Duke
of Hamilton's pair, Clemenzo and Contempt.
The Lichfield Meeting, on Thursday and Friday, will
be strongly patronised by the Hodnesford trainers, and,
considering the vast quantity of racing there is nowadays,
Mr. Slaeldon has issued an average programme, which in-
cludes fourteen races. The acceptances for the Stafford-
shire Stakes (lf miles) aro not due till Tuesday, but; as the
weights now stand, Success and Fidelia read best in, and
I like the chance of the first named most. In the Cham-
pagne Stakes (four.furlongs) ten two-year olds have been
nominated, and Lady Lavender, who is entitled to an al-
lowance of 31b, has only Lady of Croomo to beat to win.
Fur the Tamworth Plato (six furlongs), Saunders's repre=
sentativo, St. Valentine or Beaudesert, has nothing to fear,
neither has Wallow's Purina or Catt na in the Flying
Stakes (four furlongs). The Gold Cup (1 mile) has at-
tracted twenty-four nominations, and the weights range
from Acta) 1, Set 121 b, to William, sst 71b. The candidates
that appear most favourably weighted are Begum, 7st ;
Rejoinder, Est 101 b ; Fidelia, (Ist 81b ; and Deceit, Get 71b.
Ono of the Ibolywell pair, Deceit or Bogum, will be handy,
aad should win if either can defeat Fidelia, whose forte is
speed rather than staying.

The Oxford Meeting will take place on Thursday and
Friday, and Mr. Marshall has put forth a lengthy pro-
gramme. In the Oxfordshire Stakes (2 miles) eight
horses stand from the original 21 entries. Romping Girl,
Bst 121 b, would win, if sent to Oxford, but, as she is likely
to be reserved for a more important engagement, Virginia
Creeper should beat the remaining horses. For the Port
Meadow Plate (5 furlongs) thirty-eight horses have
been nominated, and Honesty or Miss Hayes will win.
The County Members' Plate (6 furlongs), may be as-
signed to Ambition ; and the Freemen's Plate (1 mile)
to Honestish. In the Prince of Wales's Stakes (4 far-
longs) there is no horse engaged capable of boating
Chanoinosse, although amongst the entries are
Antias, Carlotta, Dunbar, and Grand Turk. In the
Stratton Audley Nursery Handicap (6 furlongs) thirty-
three candidates have been nominated. The best of them
are La Belle Helene, 7st 101 b; Dunbar, 7st 81b; Lord of
the Valley, 7st 51b ; King of the Rovers, 7st ; Engraver,
6st 101 b; anal Saga; 6st 71b. Dunbar, though beaten,
ran well at Stockton, and I take this well-bred colt and
La Belle Helene to be the most dangerous pair in the above
Nursery. A FRESH MAN.
