POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-TINS DAY.

WESTMINSTER.

INTOLERABLE NUISANCES AND NICE LEGAL
DISTINCTIONS.—Thomas Brooker, a boy about four-
teen years of age, was charged with playing at
pitch-and-toss to the annoyance of the inhabitants.
A policeman proved that he saw the defendant
playing at pitch-and-toss on Sunday afternoon in
John-street, Marlborough-road, Chelsea.
Mr. Arnold asked whether defendant had been
complained of by any of the inhabitants?
The policeman replied that there were six or
seven other boys with the defendant at the time he
was apprehended, and there were continual com-
plaints.

Mr. Arnold inquired whether the defendant parti-
cularly had been complained of ?
Inspector M'llugo, of the B Division, said that
the tradesmen and inhabitants of Chelsea had so
complained of the nuisance caused by the assem-
blages of boys pitching and tossing during the Sun-
day that he had been directed to apply himself to
the abatement of the nuisance.

Mr. Arnold said the boy was charged with play-
ing at a game to the annoyance of the inhabitants.
The inspector said that several of the inhabitants,
it would be seen, bad signed the sheet, which showed
that they complained of the annoyance. A Mr.
Cutler had signed the sheet in the present case.

Mr. Arnold wished to know whether he was now
in attendance.

The Inspector said he was not, but he could be
procured if the case was adjourned.
Mr. Arnold did not adjourn the case, and, ob-
serving that he could not conduct it without evi-
dence of the annoyance, discharged the boy.

THE RECENI GALE.

BLAKENEY (Norfolk), April 9.

The sloop Richard, of Goole, was observed on the
West Sands, a short distance from this harbour,
with a signal of distress flying, during a strong gale
from the north-east, yesterday evening (reports Mr.
Charles Temple). The Brightwell lifeboat of the
National Lifeboat Institution at this place at once
went out to her through a very heavy sea, and for-
tunately succeeded in rescuing the crew of three
men.

CRomErt (Norfolk), April 9.

Daring a heavy gale from the NE. this morning
the schooner Agenoria, of Lowestoft, was seen rid-
ing at anchor about four miles to the northward of
this place (says Mr. W. G. Sandford). She had
lost her foretopmast and sails, and was apparently
in great distress. Soon afterwards she got under
weigh and endeavoured to get round the Point, but
being in ballast and in a disabled state she rapidly
drove to leeward, and came ashore here. The
Cromer lifeboat, belonging to the National Life-
boat Institution, thereupon promptly proceeded to
her. The first time the boat was driven on shore
again by the heavy seas, but she was again launched,
and with much difficulty succeeded in getting along.
side the vessel, and in rescuing the crew of four
men, who were safely brought ashore. The life-
boat's crew behaved well in this service.

PAKEFIELD, April 9.

The Sisters lifeboat, in connection with the Life-
boat Institution, was launched last night to the
brigantine Douglas, of Guernsey, which was in
Pakefield Road, and which had exhibited distress
signals during a very strong gale from the NE., and
in a heavy sea (states Capt. Preston, R.N.), On
arriving alongside the vessel, the lifeboat men found
that she had sprung a leak, and thinking she was
in a sinking state, the water having gained on the
pumps, part of the crew were taken out into the
lifeboat, but were subsequently returned to the
ship. With the help of the lifeboat men and a
steamtug the vessel was then freed from water, and
was towed into Lowestoft Harbour. She was on
a voyage from Shields to St. Vaast, with a cargo of
coals.

MOELFRE (Anglesey), April 9.

The smack Cymro, of Cmlwych, bound from Con-
way to Red Wharf, near this place, in ballast, was
riding in the bay in a dangerous position yesterday
(states the Rev. Evan Jones), and ultimately ex-
hibited signals of distress. It was blowing very
hard from the east at the time. The London Sun-
day School lifeboat, belonging to the National Life-
boat Institution, was at once launched, and happily
succeeded in bringing the smack's crew of two men
safely ashore. Within an hour of landing the crew
the vessel parted from her anchors, came on the
rocks, and soon went to pieces.

WHITHERNSEA (near Hull), April 8.

R. Champney, jun., Esq., states that early yes-
terday morning three of the fishing boats went out
to sea, but made for the land again before twelve
o'clock. There was a heavy roll of the sea, with a
sweeping tide and broken surf at the time, but little
wind. It not being safe for the boats to come
through the surf, the two fishing boats, which were
then in sight, were warned off, and the Pelican life-
boat, of the National Lifeboat Institution, was at
once launched, and the men safely brought ashore.
The third boat went farther south to a yawl off
Ilolmpton, and her crew are safe.

PORTUGAL.

LISBNO, April 3.

This afternoon, at one o'clock, his Majesty re-
ceived in public audience, at the Palace of Ajuda,
Sir Charles Murray, recently appointed Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of her
Britannic Majesty to the Court of Portugal, and
afterwards the Marquis Oldoini, Envoy Extraordi-
nary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty
the King of Italy. The Ministers of State and high
officials were present.
Sir Charles Murray, in placing his credentials in
the hands of his Majesty, said :
" I have the honour to present to your Majesty
the letters by which the Queen, my august Sove-
reign, accredits me to you, and I am happy to avail
myself of this opportunity to offer to your Majesty
the assurances of the constant friendship of the
Queen, and the expression of her sincere good
wishes for the happiness of your Majesty and your
family and for the prosperity of your kingdom. I
hope, sire, my respectful endeavours will render me
worthy of the august goodwill of your Majesty,
wherein I shall find a powerful encouragement to
carry out the object of my mission, which is to main-
tain the relations of friendship and mutual interests
which
Kinghave repliedso
between Portugal and Great Britain."
The

" Sir,—l highly appreciate the reiterated proofs
I receive of the sentiments of goodwill with which
your gracious Sovereign the Queen is animated to-
wards me and all that concerns me. Anxious to
respond to them, it gives me pleasure to assure you
that all my efforts will tend to maintain unchanged
the bonds of friendship and harmony which so hap-
pily exist between the two Crowns, and that my
wishes will constantly be for the happiness of her
Britannic Majesty, and for the prosperity of the
noble nation whose destinies are entrusted to her.
It is therefore with lively satisfaction that I receive
the letters by which the Queen accredits you as her
representative at
my Court. The selection which
it has pleased her Majesty to make of a person so
recommendable by the qualities which distinguish
burn, and his devotion to the service of his august
Sovereign, cannot be otherwise than agreeable to me
and guarantee to him my best wishes."
The Marquis Oldoini, in presenting his credentials,
addressed his Majesty as follows :--
"The King, my august Sovereign, has deigned
to accredit me as his Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary to your Majesty, and to
intrust to me the honourable mission of representing
Italy in Portugal, a mission to me doubly pleasant,
as, in addition to diplomacy, it is a family mission.
The close bonds of relationship and of friendship
which have so long connected the dynasty of Savoy
with that of Braganza, now strengthened by the
august tie which connects your Majesty with a
princess of Italy,
impose upon me a high duty, and
I have been especially ordered to express to your
Majesty the sincere and cordial good wishes of the
King my master. The common origin of the
two peoples, and the similarity of their insti-
tutions, render it an easy task for me to foster the

interests of the two countries, and to maintain be-

tween the two Crowns and the two Governments
that intimacy of relations which already exists,
founded upon so solid and durable a basis. The
faithful interpreter also of the sentiments of my
Sovereign and of my Government, I shall be happy,
sire, if in fulfilling my mission I may acquire the
confidence and
goodwill of your Majesty, and make
to your Government and useful

I have the honour to place in

The King replied as follows

" Monsieur le Ministre,—l have heard with ex-
treme pleasure the sentiments which his Majesty the
King of Italy has deigned to express to me, and for
which lam most grateful. Convinced of the lively
interest which your august Sovereign entertains for

my kingdom, I hope you will be the faithful inter-

and the Royal House of Savoy, and those relations
between the Italian and Portuguese nations, to
which you have so happily alluded, and from which
I am convinced good will arise for both, in conse-
quence of the similarity of their political institu-
tions and sentiments. As regards yourself, M le

THE VOLUNTEER REVIEW.

(Br ELECTRIC TELEGRAEH.)

PORTSMOUTH, Monday Afternoon.

The town crowded to excess. All up to the-pre-
sent gone on well. The corps arrived in good
order. Weather all that can be desired. The re-
view just commenced—promises to be a great

success.

The greatest enthusiasm is prevalent throughout

the town.

ARRIVAL OF THE RIFLE CORPS AT WATERLOO

TERMINUS.

Long before four o'clock the various main tho-
roughfares leading to the Waterloo-road terminus
of the London and South-Western Railway pre-
sented scenes of great bustle and animation, owing
to the large number of persons who had left the
arms of Morpheus for the purpose of witnessing the
marching past of the Volunteers to that station.
The whole of the houses in which refreshments could
be obtained, including public-houses, coffee shops,
ham and beef shops, and even cigar dealers and to-
bacconists, were thrown open to the public some
hours earlier than usual, and, judging from the
crowded state of the different establishments, it is
but reasonable to suppose that our metropolitan
caterers did a considerable amount of profitable
business.

The first corps that marched to the station was
the Surrey Artillery, the band playing along the
Kennington and London roads a variety of lively
airs. The martial music had the effect of arousing
those who had not received any intimation of the
proceedings, and nearly every window was opened,
and the half-dressed occupants made their appear-
ance and cheered lustily the band as it passed along.
At a given signal an order was given that the band
was to cease playing, and the whole of the rank
and file marched through the entrance of the station
and took up their position on the platform. O wing
to the admirable arrangements made by the L divi-
sion of police under Inspector Heath and officers of
the company no inconvenience was experienced by
the men in getting into the carriages assigned them.
The Scottish volunteers with their band and bagpipes
playing excited considerable attraction, and they
were loudly applauded along the route. The dif-
ferent other brigades followed in rapid succession,
and only a few minutes sufficed to allow each man
to take his seat in the carriages allotted to him.
By five o'clock nearly the whole of the corps had
taken farewell of London for the day, and they were
steaming down the line for Portsmouth. 0 wing to
the admirable arrangements made at the terminus
not a single accident took place.
LONDON BRIDGE.

The same excellent arrangements were made by
the directors of the Brighton and South Coast Rail-
way Company. The interest at this terminus ap-
peared if anything greater than at Waterloo. Each
corps' band played until they arrived within a short
distance of the station, and as the troops passed
along they were vociferously cheered. As is always
the case on similar occasions, many of the Volun-
teers were too late to march with the regiment, and
they contented themselves by running to the sta-
tions, so as to catch the trains set apart for the
members of their corps.
