POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

(YESTERDAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Mary Dillon, a young and beautiful girl, wearing a
profusion of jewellery, was placed at the bar on the
following charge:—
Police-constable John Cox, No. 63 of the C divisiou,
stated that between two and three o'clock this morning,
as he was proceeding on duty along Piccadilly, he found
the defendant sitting at the step of a door near to St.
James's Church. her head was leaning on her knees, and
at first he concluded that she was sleeping, but on a closer
inspection he found she was in a state of complete stupor.
He therefore conveyed her to the station-house, where,
by the direction of Inspector Frowd of the C division, she
was attended by Dr. Tothill, of Charles-street, St.
James's-square, the divisional surgeon of the force ; but
two hours elapsed before she was restored to a state of
consciousness. She afterwards intimated by signs to the
Inspector that she was deaf and dumb, and ultimately
wrote her name and her address, at Fulham, on a slate—
but she declined giving any further information respect-
ing herself.
Dr. Tothill was of opinion that she was suffering from
the effects of some intoxicating fluid, which, of course,
might'have been designedly administered to her.
Inspector Frowd said, he had no doubt of the defen-
dant actually being dumb.
Mr. MALTBY—Dear me ; is that the fact—does any
one know her ?
Sergeant BUrnett, No. 20 of the C division, said, that
a twelvemonth ago she was living in a style of great
splendour in Piccadilly, under the protection of a
nobleman.
Inspector Frowd said a very valuable gold watch was
found in her posession, but no money.
It also appeared that about twelve months ago she
was found insensible in the street, and was locked up in
a station-house for the night, on the supposition that she
was drunk, and from that time she became deaf and dumb.
Mr. MA7TBY humanely directed Sergeant Burnett to
see her home to her friends.

HISTORIC FANCIES.—BY THE HON. GEORGIA
SYDNEY SMYTHE, M.P.—This volume is calculated to at-
tract a considerable share of public attention, not merely
because it exhibits great talent, and indicates a greater
promise, but because it represents, in its various pages, a
picture of that youthful and stirring mind which has re-
cently so much engaged the observation, and, in a great
degree, the sympathy of the public. The charm of the
book is full of freshness and vigorous fancy. The writer
has surveyed the past and present, disembarrassed of
those conventionalities that are crumbling around us,
and has arrived at results, which may be, in some in-
stances, crude, but which are always genuine. He de-
livers himself of his strong convictions in a-style pas-
sionate, yet chaste and precise ; and whether he blazons
the achievements of the great aristocracy of France, or
celebrates the superhuman energies of the Jacobins of
PariS•l---wliether he charge the Roundhead with the Ca-
tholic Cavalier, or canonize Armand Carrel in a lyric of
almost unrivalled grace, we find everywhere the real
feeling' and ythguage always• sustaining the sentiment,
as proniKagvassionate, and picturesque. The finest
thing in thul voluine is— _

" The merohants of Old England, the seigneurs of the
seas."_
It is re'ally.a great national strain.— Times.
THE WEATHER AND CROPS.—Easterly winds stilt
prevail, and being accompanied, as usually happens, with
a low temperature, vegetation has not for several days
made much progress. The atmosphere, however,
is dry, which is favourable for the wheat ; and
I the land still containing a good supply of mois-
ture, everything wears the aspect of health.
Potatoes look rather poorly, beirg both thin in
the drills and weakly in the stem. The thinning of tur-
nips is, in this neighbourhood, well advanced. A good
deal of hay is now in the rick, and having been put up
under favourable circumstances, will beof excellent qua-.
lity. The cut, however, is far from heavy ; but the.
second crop presents an appearance of great luxuriance,
and will no doubt go far to compensate the deficiency of
the main crop.—Scotsman of Saturday.
EXTRAORDINARY FREAK Or NATURE.—In the
month of May last Mr. bolls, under-keeper to Lord Digby,
discovered, in Whitfield Wood, a pheasant's nest containing
twelve eggs; about three weeks since, on examining the
nest again, he found that the bird had left three of the eggsbehind, and feeling a curiosity to know the reason -why tha
eggs had not been hatched, he broke the shells, and in each
egg found a young pheasant, perfect and billed, but, singular
to relate, each bird had four legs and four feet. Mr. Rolls
cut off the legs, and has since preserved them. He called at
lour office on Saturday, when we had an opportunity of per-
sonally inspecting this singular natural curiosity.—Sherbornu

PARLIA:I4.I.NT.
USE OF LORDS, Jaly 9.
Their Lordships met at Fiv: o'clock.
DISSENTER' CHAPELS BILL.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a p.tition from the
Rev. Dr. Shepherd, in favour of the Dissenters' Chapels
Lord RADNOR presented petitions in favour of the
Dissenters' Chapis Bill. i
Earl FITZIIARDINGE pre=eate 1 'petitions from
several congregations against the Dissenters' Cha-
pels Bill.
The Bishop of LONDON presented petitions against
the Dissenters' Chapels Bill.
The Earl of G ALLO W AY presented petitions against
the Dissenters' Chapels Bill.
The Bishop of NOR WiCII presented petitions, from
places in Suffolk, against Cie Di-;:enters' Chapels Bill.
The Earl of RODEN presented petitions from
the Leland
to to the same effect. He heartily agri-
ments expressed br the petitioners.
The Bishop.of EXETER presented similar petitions
from various Baptists and other Dissenting congrega-
tion 6. He could not help remarking, that the measure,
as returned to their Lordships, amended by the other
House, was the most stultified in all its details that he
had ever read. The deed stated that the 'worship of
Almighty God should be celebrated in those chapels by
Presbyterian Dissenters, and yet a Right Hon. Gentle-
man in another place had stated that this was vague.
Lord KINNAIRD wished to ktrow whether the Right
Rev. Prelate was in order in entering upon a discussion
of the whole question, and in quoting speeches made by
gentlemen in another place.
The Bishop of EXETER said he had a perfect right
when presenting a petition to give his views upon the
subject-matter of that petition before it was laid
upon the table. He had, however, stated the
opinions he entertained on the subject, and would now
lay the petition on the table.
The frith Marriages Bill was read a first time.
DIVISION OF PARISHES (SCOTLAND) BILL.
The Duke of HAMILTON prayed their Lordships
to grant him their patience while he made a few re-
marks upon the present Bill. He had not been able to
attend on any former occasion when this Bill came before
their Lordships. The Noble Duke proceeded to expa-
tied) upon the effect which the Bill would have in the
country parishes of Scotland.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE said that discussion was un-
necessary, as the Bill was already passed.
-BANK CUARTER BILL.
Lord WHARNC TAFFE moved the second reading of
the Bank Charter Bill.
The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to
be committed on Thursday.

BROTHELS SUPPRESSION BILL.
The Bishop of EXETER moved the order of the day
for the third reading of the Brothels Suppression Bill.
Lord FOLEY moved, as an amendment, that the Bill
he read that day six months. on the ground that there
was no sufficient evidence of the evil.
lard GALLOWAY thought the Bill was presented
in much a shape to the House, that they could not, if
they wished to put down a vat amount of misery and
crime, hesitate to give the Bill their utmost support.
He felt that, in the whole catalogue of crime, there was
none which more loudly called for the interposition of
the Legislature than this.
Lord MISTO thought than it was a paramount and
inivnbent duty upon her Majesty's Government to lay
before the House the best and most authentic informa-
tion on this subject. He wished to know from the Noble
Duke whether it was not the intention of her Mjesty's
Government to introduce a mensurc fin• the 'zit= pur-
pose as-that of the Right Rev. Prelate's?
The Duke of WELLINGTON said that, in reply to
the question of the Noble Earl, he had to inform him
that her Majesty's Government had informed them Ayes
upon the subject before the House, and he should wish,
in order to give time for further inquiry, and for
the introduction of a measura under the auspices of her
Majesty's Government,- that the Right Rev. Prelate
would not press the third roltlin,:r of his Bill.
Tho Bishop of EXETER said that, euler such circum-
stances, he would not press his measure.
Lord MOUNTCASLIEL, affu alluding to the miseries
inducted by the .houses which the Right Rev. Prelate's Bill was
inended to suppre,s, said that he would, session after Cession,
bring this matter before them.
The Bill was, after some discussion, withdr'awn.
Their Lordship) then adjourned.

DANISH CLAIMS.

Mr. CEIRISTIE rose to submit his motion on the
Danish claims, of which he had given notice :—" That
this House do resolve itself into a Committee, to consider
of an address to her Majesty, praying that she will be
• graciously pleased to take into her early and most
favourable consideration the case of the claimants for
' losses sustained by the seizure of British ships and cargoes
by the Danish Government in 1807, and reported to
have been established by the Commissioners, to whom it
was referred to examine and adjudicate on all such
claims, in their report bearing date the 12th day of May,
1840." He said, " this question has been so often before
the Home that I shall be justified in doing that which I
should otherwise have done as a matter of policy, and
• detain, the House but a short time in dealing with the
. subject. I cannot but remember that when this ques-
tion was formerly brought forward in this House, it
came recommended by all the weight of the talents and
great abilities of Mr. Cresswell. After that gentleman
ceased to be a Member of this House, it was brought
forward by the Hon. Member for Gateshead (Mr. Hatt).
Thq g,rentleatan's avocations, however, prevented him
froM bringing it forward this se;sion. This is the reason
that lam here to undertake it. I expect, of course, to
hear it said that it is high time we should have done
• with these Danish claims.—(Hear, hear.) That it
is a very old motion which has been often discussed ;
but I bog to remind the House in the present state of
• the question, that these are the third and last of three
classes of claims, the first two of which have been satis-
• fledftrSt one and then the other, but both after long
'V& t.; X Ogterrnined opposition from succeeding Governments
I,r 4tn t this third and last class of claims have already
.
-had t justice affirmed by majorities of this House.
I snow,s will be said that on the last occasion when the
,q_ne§tion,,,, as brought forward by the Hon. Member for
Latlabeth; e (Mr. Hawes) was in a minority. I know that
heexivethd a larger majority than had ever before been
,reehree* is support of his motion, but to his great sur-
