THE RACES.—KIIOREE is a NEW IMPOR-

INDIA. It is a Cloth exceedingly well adapted, when formed into
a PALETOT, for the races, t e sea-side, or any place of public
amusement during the apprlschim; warm weather. It has the pecu-
liarity of resisting, or counteracting, in a most singular manner,
the intense heat of the sun's rays, and is so light (weighing bnt sly
ounces) that it can be conveniently WORN OVER ANOTHER
COAT, which it thus effectually preserves from dust; and as it oc-
cupies, when folded, no snore space than a pocket-handerchieL it
may he concealed in the same manner when not wanted. It, more-
over, conveys a most gentlemanly appearance, is very durable, and
when soiled, becomes new again by the simple process of washing.

article in the manufacture of Paletots or Overcoats is PATENTED

This work contains an accurate anti complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict 114. m and prevent his seeking for assistance where
alone it can be prlcured. Dr. LAIiERT has taken the highest
medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
diseases.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.

Algernon Sidney Sparkes, Charles Nixon, Ed-
mund Wright, and James Campbell (the latter having
been apprehended the previous day), were brought
before Mr. Jardine for further examination.

Mr. Wontner, solicitor, appeared to conduct the
prosecution, and the prisoners were represented by
Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, and Mr. Horry.
Mr Wontner said before calling additional wit-
nesses to depose to particular frauds effected upon
them, he had some material evidence to offer from
persons who had been brought into the company of
the prisoners at various times, and had heard con-
versations which would confirm the charge of con-
spiracy against them. There were, also, abundant
grounds for the committal of the prisoners for ob-
taining money under false pretences—a charge
which he should take care to include in the indict-
ment, in order that the prisoners might not escape
with a common term of imprisonment, but stand a
chance, of getting transported.
James Bothamley, a servant out of place, met
Campbell and Sparkes at the Swan public-house, near
Queen-square, shortly after Christmas last. They
-were in company with others, examining some pros-
pectuses, and boasting how they could cheat the pub-
lic. Campbell said, "He would undertake to throw
the devil off his guard." He told the others that he
had taken an office in Kingsgate- street. Witness saw
Campbell and Stanley together, about a month or six
1 weeks afterwards, at the office in Kingsgate-Street.
Believed that Campbell was formerly a footman.
Thomas Saunders, a carpenter, said I know all the
prisoners. About ten weeks ago Wright came to
17, Adam-street, Adelphi, where I was lodging, and
took a parlour as an office. I fitted it up for him, and
undertook to keep it clean for Is. per weele. Was in
the office one day when Top (a former witness) came
to see Wright. The prisoner said to me, " Just step
out of the office fbr a minute or two, as I am
going to nail this long customer for 21. or 31., and
then I'll pay you." I left the office then. Saw Stanley
first at Wright's about the 21st of April. Wright
introduced me to him, saying, " This is Mr. Saun-
dem Heard Stanley say to Wright, " I am going
to nail an auctioneer from the country for 9/. to-
morrow morning. He has pail a deposit of 11, and
if he comes here you must give him something to do.
Take an advertisement out of the Times, and send
him to inquire about it, only let it be a good way off."
He also said on this occasion that some of his clerks
that he had taken money from were getting rather
troublesome, and that he should have to keep out of
the way. Soon after this a young man (the witness
Pascal!) did call at the office, and Wright sent him to
Bayswater to inquire about a furnished house which
was advertised to be let. One day, on a Wednesday, I
was sent to mind the office at 79, Great Queen-street,
for Stanley. Remained there till Saturday, when I de-
clined to open the office, and gave the keys up to the
landlord. The witnesses Long, George, and LotEn,
and many others called there while I was minding
the office, and suspected me to be concerned in
swindling them. Once Stanley sent me to Campbell,
at the Brownlow• street office, to tell him that "the
party he had 50/. of was after him, and he had better
keep out of the way." I delivered the message to a
woman whom I supposed to be Mrs. Campbell, but
he was sitting in a back room, and said, " It's all
right ; say lam much obliged to him." Wright on
one occasion told me how they carried on the
business—by advertising fur clerks, and then
making appointments with all the men who answered
the advertisements at intervals of half-an-hour
apart, the first point being to get the deposits.
He said, " When inquiries were made as to our re-
spectability, we refer to the Brownlow-office, and the
Brownlow-office refers to us.". He stated that "he
had been obliged to give Sparkes 103. because he was
ill, and he had advanced 11. to Campbell to pay a
carpenter who was kicking up a row for his money."
After I had given up possession of the office in Great
Queen-street, Campbell came and threatened me.
He said " he should not have cared a pin about it if
they had only got the papers away." These papers
had been applied for several times—once or twice by
a little boy, the son of the prisoner Sparkes.
Cross-examined—l first gave information of this
the day I WAS sent to Queen-street. I wrote to
Sergeant Smith, of the detective police about it. I
took no part in swindling anybody, but I was getting
a knowledge of what was going on all the while I
was with the prisoners.
George Morris, who had been also employed as a
clerk at the various offices occupied by the prisoners
(after paying a deposit of 201. to Wright's father),
deposed to having seen all the prisoners repeatedly
together. Wright the younger, once tried to induce
him to put the rest of his money "into the concern,"
and join them as a partner, he (Wright) undertaking
to bear all the responsibility and to sign every thing.
He said there was nothing to do but putting in a few
advertisements for clerks and removing from one of-
fice to another 'when. any place got " too hot to hold
them."

Mr. JARDINE said, as it would take a long time to
make proper selections from the evidence and reduce
the depositions to form and regularity, there must be
a further remand for-this purpose till Tuesday next.
The prisoners would then be committed for trial, and
probably four or five cases only would be found suf-
ficent to proceed on.
Bail was again refused.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Mr. BINGHAM give his decision in the case against
the driver of an omnibus, who had, as alleged, by
careless and wilful misbehaviour, caused damage to
Sir P. Thesiger's carriage.
As the point of law reserved for consideration was
of some consequence to the public and to drivers ge-
nerally, the magistrate stated the particulars of the
case and his judgment at some length.
Mr. BINGHAM said, the collision complained of oc-
curred in Waterloo-place, at the bottom of a descent
nearly a quarter of a mile in length, down which the
defendant was proceeding. The complainant's coach-
man had turned a corner, and his horses had just
entered Waterloo-place. Witnesses fur the com-
plainant stated that the defendant was on his proper
side, and going at the rate of six or seven miles an
hour, and that when about six or eight yards from
the complainant's carriage the complainant's coachman
made a sign that be was about to cross the carriage-
track to pull up at a shop on his right ; that the de-
fendant saw the sign, but, instead of turning to the
left of complainant's carriage, as it was alleged he
ought to have done, he continued his course, and the
result was that a collision ensued. The defendant's
pole entered the complainant's carriage, doing con-
siderable damage, and placing in great danger the lives
of the party, within. It was not clearly made out whe-
ther or not the defendant saw the signal made by the
complainant's coachman. Assuming he did not see
it, the collision may have been occasioned by wilful
and perverse recklessness, a reliance of the defendant
on his own weight and momentum, and disregard of
the safety of others ; or by a physical inability, to
arrest, on an inclined plane and in so short a distance
as eight yards, the progress of so heavy a vehicle as
an omnibus ; or by a want of presence of mind to
draw off towards the right hand, as the complainant's
coachman contended he ought to have done. Unless
the first of these suppositions be clearly established
to the exclusion of the other two, a police magistrate
had no jurisdiction, and the complainant must look for
his redress in a civil court. Bat under the circum-
stances of the case, considering the short distance
within which the defendant was called upon to pull up
a heavy vehicle on a descent, or whether he should,
as for an exceptional emergency, depart from the rule
of the road and t urn off to his right to make way for the
complainant's carriage, the evidence did not afford
such a reasonable certainty of wilful misconduct as to
justify a magistrate in inflicting a penalty. The
summons was therefore ordered to be dismissed for
want of jurisdiction in the magistrate, the. complain-
, ant's remedy being in a civil court. The driver of
the omnibus,

Ann having
ob-
tained money from William Richardson, under the
fraudulent pretence of procuring for him a Govern-
ment situation.

William Richardson, of N 0.19, Sun-street, became
acquainted with the prisoner through her sister, last
July twelvemonths. He received a letter from her
sister, which induced him to call on the prisoner in
Coventry-street. The prisoner said she could get
him a situation in the Home-office, if he would ad-
vance 50/. The prisoner said she was acquainted
with Lord Alfred Paget, and she would write to his
Lordship on the subject. The prisoner asked for an
advance of money, but complainant did not give any
at the time. In a few days afterwards he sent the
prisoner 15/, and he continued to make advances,
from time to time, until he had given her
45/. On one occasion he received a letter from the
prisoner, inviting him to call upon her. He did so,
and she showed him a letter with Lord Alfred Paget's
name at the bottom, announcing that a situation in
the Home-office had been provided for witness.
After making
letter requesting him to meet his Lordship at pri-
an advance of 101., he received another
soner's house, as his Lordship was to be his surety,
and complainant was to go to the situation on the fol-
lowing Monday. Complainant received another let
ter putting him off, and from that time had neither
.obtained a Government situation, nor had any of his
money returned,
