POLICE INTELLIGENCE--This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—John Mur-
phy, a trimmer, residing at No. 3, Carnaby-street,
was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with violently
assaulting Jane Jones, a young woman who de-
scribed herself as a dressmaker.

After some evidence had been taken, the pr:
soner was fully committed for trial.

SHAMEFUL BRUTALITY.—Joseph Clayton, a car-
man, of No. 8, Lower Queen-street, Rotherhithe,
appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt charged by the Royal
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
for cruelly working a horse while in an unfit state.

From the evidence of Inspector Temperley, of
the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, it appeared that he saw the prisoner driv-
ing three horses attached to a waggon laden with
timber. One of the horses shuddered a good deal,
and the prisoner set to severely beating it and also
the leading horse with a heavy whip, and a man
who, he believed, bad something to do with the
prisoner, came up and kicked one of the horses. On
examining the hcrse he had just seen the prisoner
beating he found it had a large sore on its throat
and another on the withers, and the harness was
pressing into both of them.

Mr. Thomas Ralysb, residing at Walworth, de-
posed to seeing the prisoner severely lashing his
horses.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner's conduct was a
mixture of brutality and cowardice, and he would
like to know what he would think if a person
treated him with similar brutality to that with
which he had treated his horse. He should fine the
prisoner 20s. or 14 days.

The Price of Gold.

me quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 251.22;0. per £1 sterling
oniparing these rates with the English Mint price et
£4 qs.loid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold is about 240ths per ocnt. dearer in London than in
Paris.

The (mum of exchange at New York on London for bills
at 80 days' sight was on the last date about 141 per cent.
At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold
from the United states,

According to the last official return giving the
statistics of crime in France, it seems that out of a
population slightly above 38,000,000 among
which there are 48,000 more women than men—of
4,551 criminals convicted of serious offences 3,853
belonged to the male, and only 698 to the female
sex. Crimes against the person amounted to 1,777,
and those against property to 1,899 ; consequently
crimes against the State, such as smuggling, coin-
ing, smashing, conspiracy, disturbance of public
order, press offences, &c., must have been nearly
900 in number. Of those convicted of crimes
against the person 191 were adjudged guilty of
murder, 201 of infanticide, 6 of homicide, and 115
of manslaughter. Six of the foregoing murders
were committed by criminals under twenty-one
years of age. It seems that throughout the whole
of France there were 27,000 individuals convicted
of crimes and misdemeanours involving imprison-
ment during the year, and that of these 19,000
were adults and 8,000 under age. Among the
juvenile criminals, 600 were orphans without either
father or mother, 82 were between nine and ten
years of age, 394 between ten and eleven, 1,100
between eleven and thirteen, 2,000 between thirteen
and fifteen, and 2,200 between fifteen and seven-
teen. Between nineteen and twenty-one they were
under 500.

Her Majesty's ship Forte, 29, screw frigate, 2,354
tons, 400-horse power, Capt. John H. J. Alexander,
C. 8., having saluted the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir
Baldwin B. Walker, K.C.8., sailed from Sheerness
to-day. The vessel will call at Devouport en route
to her station in the East Indies.

INSPECTORS OF SCHOOLS.—The Rev. Henry
Smith, 8.A., of Quem's College, Oxford, was at the Coun-
cil held at Windsor on Monday last appointed to be one of
her Majesty's Inspectors of Schools. The Rev. Frank
Fortescue Cornish, M.A., of Exeter College Oxford, re-
ceived a similar appointment.

DEATH BY STEANGULATION.—On Monday night
Mr. Carttar held an inquest respecting the death of Mr.
Kreekeler, a saddler, of Greenwich. The deceased, who
was a remarkably tall mau, was in the habit of l) ing
down on his bed in the afternoon, and it was supposed
that while divesting himself of his clothing the deceased
who was known to be affeetdd in the head, had slipped,
and his handkerchief, catching in the ironwork of the bed-
stead, had produced strangulation. The verdict of the
jury was that death had resulted from strangulation, but
whether. by accident or by suicide there was no direct
evidence to prove.
