POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MAIIISION-HO USE.
FALSE WEIOUTS.—A man named L, ttis Myers was on
Tuesday brought before Alderman Gibbs upon the fol-
lowing charge :
Mr. Turner, assistant-inspector of weights and mea-
sures, said—l was in Lower Thames-start, with Mr.
Harvard, tho city of London inspector of weights and
measures, and I ram the defendant selling nu's there
with this %eight (producing a weight which appeared to
be a half-pound weight). It is only a quarter of a pound
weight. I was not near encugh to him to see whether
he sold the nuts by it a; a half pound weight. Upon
examining it I found it to be undamped. There is a
fictitious stamp upon it, and impositions aro constantly
practised with weights of this kied. I got hold of the
weight, and he snatched it away. lie had a barrow with
his nuts, and there was a ir/chino upon it. There are
two other weights which he had in his possession, and
which are also unstanapsd.
A policeman said, I was called by" the inspector of
weights and measures in Thames-street, and took the
I defendant into custody. I saw him try to throw some-
thing away, and I afterwards picked up the two weights
which I produce.—(A weight which was spreal out to
appear like a pound weight but was no more than a half-
pound, was then produced.)
Turner, the assistant inspector, added—The half-
pound weight produced was in use on the occasion. The
other weights he had in his pocket, to be used, no doubt,
when opportunities occurred.
Mr. Harvard said the defendant had been marked as a
dealer in the unfair way described, and contrived, by
substituting the expanded weight, to charge his cus-
tomers just double the quantity he,solcl, so that the trick
was more profitable that the old aone of cheating by
light weights. The defendant was in the habit of let-
ting out barrows, which were supplied with similar bad
weights, and he gave a wrong lair:ass on being ap-
plied to.
Alderman Gums said he had heard of the extraordi-
nary success with which the ingenious deception was
practised, and bad given dire coons to the police to
catch the movements of the numerous vendors in the
streets. He trusted that buyers would be on their guard
against the barrow gentry, who were thus availing
themselves of the app. Branca of the weights to inflict a
heavy imposition.
The defendant said he never had used the weights for
more than they actually represented, and pleaded that
he was justified in using stamped weights, whatever
their appearance might be.
Alderman GIBBS said the weights were not only made
for the purposes e f deception, bat were unstained, and
the dereed ant must pay the penalty of 205., or •go to
Bridowe 11 for 14 days. The weights were, of course,
forfeited.
The ds fe.ntlant declared that nothing should induce him
to pay the penalty, and his commitment was accordinLly
made out,- and he was sent to prison.
Next day, after the routine business of the justice-room
was c included, the defendant, who did not relish the in-
terior of cur City prison, having paid the penalty, end re-
leased himself from the disagreeable alternative, walked
into the presence a the Alderman, and said he was de-
termined to " pull" the witnesses for psaiury committed
in swearing that the weights which had been taken from
him were unstarnpsd. lie produced a weight which he
said was the counterpart of one of those which had been
taken from him, and said that nobody could deny the
fact that it was a legitirea'e weight. tie bad purchased
it of a tradesman, who assured him that it was regularly
stamped.
Alderman GIBBS said the weight produced was not
City stamped, and was not recognised by the City autho-
r:ties. Ho also informed the defendant that there
were some tradesmen who refused fietitiout stamps, and
that the weight produced was one of that description, and
he advised the indignant costermonger t ) exercise due
caution in pursuing his trade, as he might meet an in-
quisitive policeman at every corner.
JOSEPH ADY AT WORK AGAlN.—Joseph Ady fa-
voured the Lord Mayor with the following communi-
cation:—
" 13 & 14 Vict., cap. 61.—August 14, 1850.—Act to
extend the Act for the more easy Recovery of Small
Debts, &c., under 501. at the County Courts.
" My Lord Mayor,—The Act above quoted is lying
before me. I am of opinion that it supersedes all former
Acts relative to debts, &c.; that it is beneficial to cre-
ditors by enabling the Judge of the Sheriffs' Court to
give time to a debtor to pay by instalments, instead of
imprisoning him with felons, to gnaw his food like dog',
even when he has no teeth, and for no other crime than
poverty.—Respectfally, JOSEPH ADY.—Aug. 19, 1850."
BO W-STEEE7.
PICKING POCKETS.—J. Tay'or was charged with
picking the pockets of Mr. J. W. Watson.
The prosecutor stated that, shortly before ten o'clock
yesterday, he was passing along Wellington-street North,
when he heard f)otsteps behind him, and immediately
afterwards the prisoner dined by him. This attracted
his suspicions, and he found his handkerchief was gone.
He followed the prisoner along the Strand, when, finding
that he was being pursued, he threw the handkerchief
into the road, and endeavoured to make his escape, but
was stopped by several persons w ho were following in
the chase.
Mr. Hear. said that during the last fortnight three
handkerchiefs had been most adroitly taken from his
own pocket on his way to this court. He had lost so
many handkerchiefs in a similar manner that he had been
compelled to adopt a new plan, and he always now car-
ried his handkerchief in his breast.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial.
M AIiYL EBONE.
MURDEROUS OUTRAGE ON THE POLlCE,—Mariin St.
Leger, a beershep keeper, in Devonshire-street, Lisson-
grove, .John St. Leger, his brother, and Michael McDon
nell, were charge with having violently assaulted several
police censtab'es, two of whom, Sergi ant Steer and
Constable Cooper, had susteintel injuries which pre-
vented them from attending.
It appeared from the evidence of police officers, most
of whom had swollen and blackened eyes, and their
foreheads and other parts of their face strapped up with
adhesive plaister, that on the sense morning, between
two and three o'clock, an entry was mode into the beer.
atop alluded to,
owing to the police being satisfied, from
hearing the rattling of bells, that there was gambling
going on therein, and that they (the offi e rs) upon in-
terfering, were attacked by the prisoners, the implements
which were used in the attack upon them being a poker,
a large stick, a fire shovel, and a thick staff. Some of
the officers bled profusely
and fainted, and it was a'most
a miracle that there were net two or three lives sacri-
ficed. The prisoners were ultimately securer] acid con-
veyed to the sration-houge, vehere they were lacked up. The
principal sufferers amongst the police were, in addition
to Steer and Cooper before) alluded to, Clarke 268, Hig-
gin 81, Hawkins 73. and Knight 69 D. So violent were

the circumstances already described, was now asked
whether ho could identify Davis, wno was only taken
into custody the previous day. The reply was that he
had no doubt he was one of his assailants, and that when
he saw him at this court he pointed him out from
amongst a crowd of persons, although he was dressed
difftrendy to what he was on the morning of the
robbery.
It was stated to the magistrate that the third man
concerned in the offence was still at large; that he with
Davis was apprehended on the previous day in a public-
house near the Victoria Theatre, and that while in cus-
tody, and on the way to the station-house, he struck
Sergeant Jones, of the L division, a desperate blow on the
head with a lite-preserver and made his escape, and
that since then he had deserted his usual haunts, and
was supposed to have left town.

tenant; and Mr. Moresby Clerk (another son) is to ba
tic secretary, if this notice does not shame the Admi-
ralty out of tolerating so gross a family job. The se-
cretary to a commander-in chief should he a man of
sound.jungment, well-tested discretion, and practically
acquainted 'with at least minor matters of diplomacy.
At all events, he should boa man of mature Scare. But
in the present case the gentleman selected is, if we are
rightly informed, not more than 19 years cf age. He
has had no experience as a clerk, for he has not even
" passed," and his name does not, consequently, appear
in the Navy List. The idea, too, of Lending out an
Admiral in a small frigate (the Portland of Java,
one of which will ba commissioned in a few hours
for this service) to such a station as the Pacific is a
weakness we did tot think the Admiralty would
be guilty of committing a second time. It is far more
essential to have an able line-of-battle-ship on the
Pacific than on the West India station, as in the latter
case we can detach a home farce (such as the Lisbon
squadron) in 21 days, in case of need; but in the former
no such ready facilities for augmenting the strength of
the squadron in an emergency exists.
The Adventure naval transport, Mr. Wellington,
Master, R N., Commanding, arrived this morning from
the Brazils and Coast of Africa stations. Her news
from the former has been anticipated by other arrivals.
She left Ascension on the 7th of July. Captain Hutton,
the Governor, and all on the island were well, and well
oil for provisions. The Contest, 12, Commander the
lion. J. W. S. Spencer, had left the station for the
East Indies. The Centaur steam-frigate, Commodore
Fanahawe, C. 8., had been two months at Ascension, but
sailed on the 2d of July for the Bights. A court of in-
quiry had been held on board the Snap tender, about a
fortnight prior, relative to the conduct of Mr. Carrington,
clerk, who was subsequently dismissed from the service
by the commodore. Drunkenness was the cause. Mr.
Eeies, late clerk of the Bonetta, was appointed to the
va7ancy. Captain Buckle, flag-captain to Commodore
Fanshawe, we regret to announce, was very ill at the
date of our advices. The Adventure brought a mail
and 21 invalids from the African squadron, and a freight
of 30,0001. sterling in gold dust from Rio. The invalids
have been sent to Hasler, and the freight will be con-
veyed to the Bank of England to-morrow by Messrs.
Chambers, the freight agents of this port.

Mr. YiEADON —Thtn I shall remand the prisoners
until Thursday nex►, and probably by that time the
other man will be in eust )dy, and then the depositions
can be taken. The prisoners were then remanded.

GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.-Already there is con-
siderable traffic on the new line, the long-distance pas-
senger trains being generally well filled, and the number
daily on the increase. The time by the fast trains is
well kept; and the distance bet :seen London and Peter-
borough (76 miles) is usually accomplished a few minutes
within 24 hours. Through passengers Irons Hull may
be interested in hearing something of the route by which
they travel. From Huntingdon to Londcn, the scenery
so well known to travellers by the old stage coaches, is
again open to view, the railway taking the picturesque
route by St. Neot's, Sandy, Biggleswale, Hitchin, Wel-
wyn, Hatfield, Barnet, and Hornsey. The Hertfordshire
portion of the line presents a panorama of surpassing
beauty; there are several cuttings. and no less than
eight tunnels between Hitchin and London; but at every
opening the view of hill and d tie, and woodland scenery,
is strikingly impressive. It skirts the fins domain of
Kuehworth, near Stevenage (the property of Sir E. B.
Lytton, Bart), and the turrets of the mansion, sur-
mountel by a large flag waving in the breeze, rare
visible ahove large clusters cf oaks and limes. It
also, near Potter's Bar, passes through the 'Tett-
fordehire estate of Colonel Sibthorp. A little more than
a mile from Welwyn is the Digswcll via luct-a work cf
the kind not second, either in the ski:l displayed in
its construction, or the beauty of its appearance, to any
in the kingdom. It consists of 40 semicircular arches,
of 30 feet span; the height from the surface of the water
to the top of the parapet is 100 feet, and the length cf
the whole erection is 1,563 feet. The so-ches arc built
with four rings of brick-work in cement, and with ad-
ditional four rings forming the back ribs. The piers,
which have a light and graceful appearance, are hollow ,
from the surface of the groun'l, in the cellular form, will I
stone-work inclosing the cells. There are 40,000 cube
yards of brick-work, and 50,600 feet of stone in the
structure; the number of bricks aqually used was six-
teen mllions, and the cost of the erection was 75,0004
or 80,000/. The viaduct is the largest in the kingdom,
with two exceptions-those at Stockport and Ceegleton,
and neither of the latter is either so light or so elegant.
From this spot, rich pastures a 'd corn lands extend
far away, embosomed by sta'ely woods, which, cirelicg
rourel, seem like the galleries of a vast amphitheatre.
Tewin Water, Brocket, axkleys, and other seats,
dot the near landscape, and through an open-
in the trees a glimpse is obtained of Hertford
heath, and, rising above the loftiest woods, the
tower of Little Beikhampstead. There is another
viaduct in the parish of Welwyn, called Robbery viaduct
(sail to have derived its name from the freqte ncy cf
highway robberies there at a former period). This con-
sists of :even semicircular arches of 22 feet span, and
60 feet high from the top of the road to the parapet,-
The new carriages of the Great Northern Railway are
so lofty that a man six feet high can stand upright in
them.
RAILWAY TO WELLS.-Ia consequence of a rsquisi-
tien, nnmerously'and respectably signed by the eitizsns
of Wells, the Mayor, E. N. Wells, Esq., convened a
meeting, which was held on the 20. h inst., for the pur-
pose of considering the propriety of memorialising the
directors of the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company on
the necessity of a speedy construction of a railway from
Wells to Meador), in pursuance of the powers of their
Act of Parliament of 11th and 12th Vic., c. 77. The
Mayor, in opening the preceedings of the me: ring, in
a short but forcible speech, rernai leed on the great want
of raileosy communication with Wells, and the promises
held out by the Bristol aed Exeter Comp any as to con-
structing the line to Wells. His worship then called
on any gentleman who had any proposition to
make to bring the same before the ruceting.-
Elenr Se 3 mow, Ebci., said be huld in his hand a me-
morial (which he intend, 3 to na-ne for adoptioncorebpy theany,
meeting) to the Bristul and Exeter Railwayf _
i Urging on that body at once to take step= orconstrueting

the line fro ado to Wells. In doing so Mr. Sep;
moue ob ved that the first and great object/ was to get
a rat to Wells, and the next as to the one the most
likely to be obtained. As to the necessity of a railway
communication, there could be but one opinion; and to
obtain this, the best plan would be to go hand in band,
and be unanimous, remembering that between two stools
we might come to the ground. That the subject of a rail-
way was most important to the city of Wvils every one
would- admit, considering that we were threatened with
the removal of the assizes and sessions, &c., chiefly
from the want cf a railway here. Mr. Seymour then
entered on the subject of the great depreciation in the
value of property in Wells within the last
.ten years, in
consequence of cur isolated position with reference to the
want of the rapidity of travelling, &c., afforded by rail-
ways, and concluded by reading the memorial. and mov-
ing its adoption by the meeting.—Mr. Geo. Lawrence,
post-master, then briefly seconded Mr. Seymour's mo-
tion.—Robert Davies, Esq ,in the course of a short
speech, observed that he felt as great an interest in the
subject then before the meeting as any gentleman pre-
sent, and that his only object in rising was to suggest an
addition to the memorial, pledging the memorialists to
their aiding the Bristol and Exeter Company in the
construction of the line; by taking shares in the under-
taking, and thereby raising a considerable portion of the
capital required. Without some such disposition being
shown, Mr. D. expressed a very strong opinion that the
subject would not be entertained by the Bristol
and Exeter Company. Mr. D. added that he had no
wish to disturb the unanimity of the meeting, his only
object was to bring the subject before the company in the
most forcible and effective manner possible—After some
remarks from Mr. S. Backhouse, Mr. Hippisley, Mr.
Wilmott, and the Rev. Canon Bernard, the Mayor called
for a show of hands by there who were against the
adoption of the memorial, but not one was held up. His
Worship therefore declared that it was unanimously
adopted, and then signed it on behalf of the meeting.—A
vote of thanks to the Mayor was then moved by IL
Seymour, E:q., seconded by the Rev. Canon Barnard,
and carried with acclimation.
