POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

HUNG E R AND TEMP TATI ON.—Frederick Johnson,
a young man described as a labourer, no home, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing the
pockethandkerchief of Mr. Philip Freeman, livery
stable keeper, of Blenheim-yard, New Bond-
street.

Mr. Freeman said—About half-past ton this
morning I stepped out of my brougham in Jermyn-
street, when the prisoner came up and was about
to close the door, but I closed it myself, and
directly I did so the prisoner took my handker-
chief out of my pocket and ran off. He was pursued
and caught, and then given into the custody of a
police-constable (Fields, 152).
The prisoner—l was very hungry and thought by
closing the carriage door I might get a halfpenny,
but I did not, and seeing the gentleman's handker-
chief 1 was tempted to take it.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—lt is au impudent robbery though
it might have been suggested perhaps by hunger.
The prisoner will be committed for a mouth, and
will get food at all events.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn.)

BARER AND CIIILDREN V. TIIE LONDON AND SOUTH..

WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

This was an action brought by Mrs. Baker to
recover damages against the London and South-
Western Railway Company for the death of her
husband and children's father, Mr. Richard Baker,
resulting from an injury he had sustained in con-
sequence of the alleged negligence of the company's
guard in shutting the door of the carriage with
violence, by which one of the deceased's fingers be-
came jambed and lacerated.
The defendant pleaded not guilty, and a special
Plea that the deceased in his lifetime agreed to ac-
cept £75 in full satisfaction of all claims upon the
conapany.
To that plea the plaintiffs replied that the de-
ceased was induced to accept that sum by the pres-
sure and misrepresentation of the defendants' agents
relative to his recovery.
Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and the Hon. Mr. Thesiger
appeared as counsel for the plaintiffs ; Mr. Sergeant
13allantine, Mr. Giffard, Q.C., and Mr. Wood were
counsel fur the defendants.
The jury gave the sum of £2,300, to be appor-
tioned between the widow and children.

Mr. Thmnas Hughes's bill to..,awend the law rail-tint.*
selling and hawking goods on Sundaysiseeks to person enact,that, no peon shall'on Sunday "hawk, cry, sell, Offer, ehoso,
for sale, or deliver in any way " any 'goods, under a penalty]
not exceeding twenty shillings nor less than five shillingsi Of course the usual exceptions are made in the case 45
medicines,r.milk, bakers' shops, public-houses, &c.,
perishable articles. For a second offence the penaltyglsall
be not exceeding forty shillings nor less -than twenty, shillings. The Act does not apply to ally city, town, or
hamlet containing a population of under 10,000 persons,
.or to Ireland or Scotland. It will, if passed, come into
operation in October next.
A bill has also been published, backed by Mr. Cave and
Mr. Hunt, which it is thought will much simplify the pro,
cedure and lessen the expense in the case of railways
wanting extension of time to complete works. By he
present law a company wanting time has at great expense
to pass a private Act. This bill provides that a company,
with the assent of holders of three-fifths of the shares of
the company, may apply to the Board of Trade for ex-
tension of time. Notice of the. application must be given
in the Gazette, in the local newspapers, and affixed to the,
doors of the churches in every parish in which any por-
tion of the railway is situate. Such notice having been
given, the board, after considering the objections made,
shall, if they think fit, extend the time, and their order,
shall be the same as a parliamentary enactment. Compen.
sation must be made by the company in cases where the.
damage has been sustained by the extension of time,
The County Courts Admiralty Jurisdiction Bill was
also issued yesterday. Its purpose is to transfer the
power now exercised by the Admiralty Court to certain
county courts, subject to the following limitationa.t In
bottomry cases to causes where the amount involved does
not exceed £5OO ; as to salvage, to causes where esti
amount of property saved does not exceed £l,OOO, and,4,o
Admiralty causes where the amount claimed does not
exceed £5OO ; to claims of wages for £5O and under, and to
other cases where the amount claimed does not exceed .£5OO,
Should the parties agree even where the amount involved
is beyond that lin: t, the case may still be prosecuted in,
the county court. Provision is also made for the appoint-
ment, by Order in Council, of judges solely for Admiralty
cases, should the business be too much for the county 4
court judge. The salary proposed is £2,000 a year. The,
necessary power is given to transfer causes, &c., and
person proceeding in the superior court without a pr9per
warrant shall be liable to be condemned in costs. Ale
judge in the county court is to have the same power as an,
Admiralty Court judge, and may be assisted by assessors:,
An appeal shall lie to the Court of Admiralty within sever'‘
days, and from this court to the Council. The bill
backed by Mr. Norwood, Mr. Headlam, and .Mr

Sir,—Some months back I had an attack of Bronchitis,
which left at times a tickling in my Throat, with other
unpleasant feelings. I was advised to try the BALSAM OF
ANISEED ; I did so, and have found very great relief ; it is
most comforting in allaying irritation, and giving strength
to the voice.
Yon are at liberty to make use of this as you think pro-
per, and I earnestly hope that others may benefit by it as
I have done.--With many thanks from your obedient ser-
vant, SAMUEL DEAR,

Halliday, the mother of CharlotSA., • ,nd who, after
poor Tom Halliday has been murdered by Philip
Sheldon, the hard-up surgeon-dentist, marries the
wretch who has made her a widow to that very end !
Namely, that she should marry him and bring with
her to him poor Tom Hallida,y's money, amounting
to some sixteen or eighteen thousand pounds. Pos-
sessed of which sum, Philip Sheldon leaves the
forceps to take up with the sharelist in his newly
assumed capacity as a stockbroker. For, a time the
ill-gotten goods prosper but only for a time, and it is
when the darkness of ruin is closing around him,
that he endeavours to accomplish, and in effect, as
We have said, all but accomplishes the most
diabolical of all his crimes, the poisoning of his step-
daughter Charlotte, whose will in his wife's (her
mother's) favour he has secured, and whose life he
has contrived to ensure for some ten thousand
Pounds. How all these materials aro worked to-

demonstrate. Enough for us—rather than at-
tempt here any matter of fact s:anning of the
gradual entangling, and the still more gradual
disentangling of the plot—enough for us if we
direct the intending readers of Miss Braddon's
new fiction to its pages, as to a story worthy of the
hand to which we are already indebted for such ab-
sorbing tales of glamour and romance, as " Seen
Ilim Once," or rather, we should say, as " Lady
4.„121ers Secret," as " Aurora Floyd," as " The
Doctor's Wife," and as " Henry Dunbar"—a list
to which may now be added, in deserved sequence,
"Birds of Prey" and " Charlotte's Inheritance."

The trade is quiet throughout with but little change
in quotations. From the country markets only limited
transactions are reported, and prices generally are un-
changed.

From both importing and exporting continental torts
quotations come firm.

At Mark-lane to-day tho tone was quiet at late rates.
Tho very small supply of English wheat realised Mon-
day's rates.

The liberal supplies of foreign wheat rendered buyers
more reserved in bidding, and late rates were paid in tho
retail business effected.
Floating cargoes also met a very active inquiry.
Flour unchanged in value with a slow demand.
Malt still at previous prices.

Barley, beaus, and peas remain without any appreciable
change.

Oats sell slowly, but supplies being light, rates were

women, and professionals or semi-professionals
in the choir. The innocence, unworldliness,
purity, simplicity, and candour of the child
seems to us to ring and resound again in the
full, clear, mellow silver of his treble voice.
The very tone is witness to his innocent boy-
hood ; it speaks of sins, dangers, falls unknown
to him. And the very fact of boys being com-
pletely under control, of nothing being expected
from them that a lot of singing boys cannot
pm-form, is security enough against those sick-
ening attempts of adult choirs to make dis-
Pla, vs which everybody knows are miserable
•
failvres except themselves. The worst faults
boys will commit will be a little levity and.
thoughtlessness in conduct, as far as the moral
side of the question is concerned. And as for
singing, their voices may be a little loud, a
little harsh, a little uncultivated, but they will
be genuine. They will be boys' voices sing-
ing in boys' fashion. And whatever may be
said, they will possess an elasticity and a hearti-
ness, a force and a reality, which lends a charm
even now to our grand old cathedrals, and
which, it is to be hoped, and as we believe
will be the case, will shortly lend a charm
also, unknown before, to many a church in
and outside the Archdiocese of -Westminster.—

THE DEPTFORD FENIANS.

Maurice Lyttleton, Florence M'Carthy, and
James Richardson were then placed at the bar to
take their trial for high treason.
Mr. Poland stated the case against the prisoners,
and slid he desired the jury to treat the matter as
the mischievous act of ignorant men, rather than to
invest it with the importance of a State prosecution
for high treason.
James Boutell was the first witness examined.
He repeated at length the evidence he gave at the
Greenwich Police-court, which, shortly summa-
rised, amounted to the fact that he met the pri-
soners Lyttleton and O'Leary on the 18th of
January, near the King William the Fourth, a
public-house at Deptford, where Dan O'Leary told
him he was a head-centre of the Fenians, and Lyt-
tleton was a corporal under him. He then detailed
the persuasion on the part of O'Leary and Lyttleton
to induce him to take the Fenian oath, his refusal
to do so, and his communication of the whole matter
to the police.
The case was not concluded when we went to
press.

THAMES.

A TICKET-OF-LEAVE WOMAN.—Elizabeth Drum-
mond, a ticket-of-leave convict, charged with
violating the conditions of her ticket.-of-leave, was
brought up on remand before Mr. Paget, who
on the first examination expressed a wish that
the case should not be pressed.
Inspector Gee, of the K division, banded a note
to the magistrate from the Commissioners of
Police, and said they did not wish to press the
charge, on the understanding that the prisoner re-
ported herself regularly every month at the station-
house in the division in which she lived.

Mr. Paget said that the prisoner would have
to serve fourteen months' additional imprison-
ment under her sentence of five years' penal
servitude if he sent her back to prison,
which ho certainly must have done if the
inspector had pressed the charge. The prisoner was
indebted to the consideration and mercy of the
Commissioners of Police, and not to him, for he
must have done his duty and sent her back to a
convict prison if the charge had been pressed. He
hoped the prisoner would seriously ponder
over her situation, and avoid giving offence in
future. She had youth and health on her
side, and must avoid bad company, and
late hours, and, above all, report herself at the
station-house once a month.
The Prisoner—l will, sir. You shall never see
me before you again.
Mr. Paget—Now show your gratitude, and con-
duct yourself properly in future.
The prisoner expressed her thanks to the Com-
missioners of Police and retired.

ASH'S FILTERING ICE SAFES.
Important to Purchasers.—Mr. ASEN PATENT RE
FRIGERATORS being by far the most perfect and s.•.ientiflc yet
produced, purchasers should beware of imitations advertised as
new inventions. Ash's Ice Safe alone combines the following
advantages : The block ice is kept free from taint, and the pure
water passed into a stone inter, ice-cold, and delicious for drink-

cheese, strawberries, milk, (&c.— may be shut in the same com-
partment without imparting the slightest odour one to the other.

having its sides and angles held together by a system of
Tubular Dovetailing, instead of the old practice of riveting;
the Tubes by which they are held together being filled by
molten iron, so as to form a homogeneous mass, with the
wedges of the Safe overlapping each other within the
Tubes. The Doors are also protected by a newly-invented

TO THE ELEC TORS OF THE BOROUGH
OF MARYLEBONE.

GENTLEMEN,—
Upwards of seven years since you did me the honour to
elect me one of your Representatives, and for the third time I
Co`ll3 forward to solicit a renewal of the kind support I then and
have sine received.
I appeal to my votes and conduct in Parliament during this
long period in proof of my having fulfilled the promises I then
made.
My best and most earnest attention has ever been, and shall
continue to be, devoted to your local interests. I have endea-
voured, on all occasions, to support the principle of local self-
government, and to keep down the burthen of local taxation.
I have given an undeviating support to every liberal and just
measure for the mmotion of Reform in the Law; for the im-
provement of the Education of the People; for the Exercise of
due Economy in our Public Establishments; for the Abolition of
compulsory Church Rates ; and for the enactment of that mea-
sure of Representative Reform, the first effect of which is, I am
happy to say, the great enlargement of the electoral body of the
Kingdom.
Many important subjects mist come before the next Perlis
went, and my conduct shall be animated by the same principles
The question of the Irish Church must at once occupy the
serious attention of the New Parliament. I gave, and shall con-
tinue to give, my cordial support to Mr. Gladstone on this great
question, the settlement of which will, I firmly believe, remove
a fruitful source of discontent in Ireland, and greatly tend to
promote the true interests of Protestantism throughout the
United Kingdom.
I shall carefully watch the estimates of every department of
the Public Service, more especially that of the Admiralty, with
the view of obtaining increased efficiency, combined with greater
economy in the expenditure of the public money.
I believe it is of the utmost importance still further to extend
and improve the Education of the People, and that in the interest
of our manufacturers more attention should be given to Technical
Instruction; and I shall 'zealously support any measures that
may be likely to effect so desirable an object.
I have the honour to be,
GENTLEMEN,
Your obedient Servant,
HARVEY LEWIS.

ECONOMIC SCIENCE AND STATISTICS.

The opening address in this section was delivered by
Mr. SAMUEL BRoWN, F.S.S., F.R.G.S., president of the
Institute of Actuaries. The first topic touched upon was
" Technical Education." Many persons, said the speaker,
had expressed a fear lest other nations should leave
England behind in the application of knowledge by intro-
'clueing and maintaining a higher standard of general
education amongst the people. The lecturer suggested
that the action of the Government in connection with the
educational question would be most beneficially exerted,
in the first instance, by extending the system of
grants in aid of local exertions, by adding to
the emoluments of teachers who produced evidence of the
higher class of instruction having been properly imparted,
and by aiding in the cost of building new schools of a
special scientific character. Above all, the stimulus of
endowments, or exhibitions of adequate value, or the offer of
Government appointments in such departments as science,
would probably produce he most profitable results. The
address then proceeded to deal with the vexed question
of labour and capital. The opinion that the two
must be in antagonism was happily dying out.
Still, the work to be accomplished was of the most labo-
rious character. Much prejudice had to be overcome on
both sides. It yet remained to be seen how the interfe-
rence of a third party would be received. It was to be
hoped, at any rate, that the clumsy and barbarous system
of strikes and lock-outs would be abolished. Trades unions
were contended for by some as useful and effective. But
without coercion and oppression how could the unions
fulfil their objects? The limitation of times of
labour, the depression of the sober, industrious, and most
skilful workmen to an average level with the more idle
and unskilled man, the exclusion of apprentices, and the
dire effects in other branches of the trade or manufacture
in which, without wishing to strike themselves, the work-

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the heal, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
:ieving coughs, cold., confirmed eases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes freq.rent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,

This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to
establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent fer support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.
It affords relief td a largo number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
