POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Yesterday a Jew, named Abraham Myers, late
keeper of a saloon in Great Windmill-street, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Maltby, charged with
having wilfully wounded Mr. Robert Clayard, livery-
stable keeper, Lisle-street, Leicester-square.
It appeared from the evidence that Clayard and
Myers were in the habit of meeting at the house of
Mr. J. Banks, the Crown, Cranborne-passage, Lei-
cester-square. On Tuesday evening they met as
usual, together with several other persons. Some
altercation took place between the prisoner and Cla
yard, and blows were exchanged. This occurred in
front of the bar about 7 o'clock. An apparent recon-
ciliation afterwards took place; and all parties went
into the parlour, where general conversation was car-
ried on, without any reference to what had occurred
in the bar. About 9 o'clock Myers went out, re-
questing some one to take care of his great-coat till
his return. Having been absent ten or twelve
minutes Myers resumed his seat, and no apparent
change had taken place in his demeanour. Clayard, who
was sitting in a chair at the opposite end of the room
to Myers, addressed the latter, saying in a familiar
tone, "Come, come, Aby, there should be no ani-
mosity between us, here is my hand, and with it my
heart," at the same time extending his right hand.
Myers, without the slightest hesitation rose from his
seat, and approaching Clayard, took hold of the ex-
tended hand with his own left hand, and then said, " I
freely accept your hand, but I'll have your heart's
blood ;" and suddenly drew from his coat pocket a large
butcher's knife, and made a desperate lunge at his in-
tended victim. Clayard caught sight of the weapon,
and, in order to turn the point from his side, to which
it was directed, seized the knife with his left hand,
when Myers violently drew it through the hand, cut-
ting through the ball of the thumb in the most danger-
ous manner. Myers again raised the knife, and re-
peating his threat, made a second stab, which inflicted
a flesh wound just above the left breast. The fact of
Clayard being seated in a chair enabled him to throw
himself backward, and to this may be attributed his
fortunate escape, for the prisoner's determined pur-
pose was evident to all present, who interposed as
speedily as possible. The prisoner then dropped the
knife, and was making his escape from the house, but
was stopped by a waiter, and given into custody. A
surgeon was fetched to the wounded man without loss
of time, and after the blood was somewhat stanched,
he was carefully conveyed home.
Yesterday the policeman who took charge of the
prisoner handed to the magistrate a certificate from
the medical attendant, which was to the effect that the
present removal of the wounded man would be unad-
visable.
Mr. Smallwood, solicitor, who was present to watch
the case on the part of the prisoner, did not at all in-
terfere in the proceedings, nor offer any opposition to
the magistrate's determination to remand the prisoner,
who was accordingly put back till Saturday next.
The knife with which the attempt was made was
exhibited in court. It is nearly a new one, and of
the largest size butchers use, being altogether from
eighteen to twenty inches long.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Yesterday James Lewis, a shoemaker, and Sarah
Hayman, a woman with whom he cohabited, were
brought up before Mr. Broughton, charged with
deserting their male infant, a child six weeks old, in
the public streets, whereby it had become chargeable
to the Spitalfields Union, and since died in that work-
house.
It will be recollected that the infant, which was
rolled up in a bundle of dirty rags, was found at ten
o'clock at night, on the 31st of May last, lying upon
the flag-stones in Henry-street, Commercial-road, by
a married woman, named Mary Gray, who took it
to her own house that night, and on the following
morning delivered it to the parish authorities, at the
workhouse. At the former examination, the infant,
which was exceedingly ill, was produced by a work-
house nurse, and several of the witnesses then in
attendance distinctly swore to it as being the child of
which the female prisoner had been delivered, and
identified also the clothing upon it as belonging to
Hayman. It was now intimated to the magistrate
that the unfortunate child had expired in the work-
house at four o'clock in the morning of the 20th inst.
and that a coroner's inquest had returned a verdict of
"Died from natural causes."
Mr. Ross, the surgeon of the Shadwell and Wap-
ping district of the Stepney Union, said that the
child was brought to the workhouse on the Ist of
June, at which time it was in good health, but that
in a month afterwards it was attacked with diarrhoea,
from which for a short time it rallied; but a second
attack took place, and it then expired. He did not
think that the exposure of the child had produced
the disease which caused its death.
Mr. BROUGHTON then inquired whether the police-
man who had the case in hand had succeeded in ob-
taining any information with respect to the other
child; of which it had been proved at the last exami-
nation that the female prisoner was in a state of preg-
nancy with when she absconded from the work-
house on the 15th of August, 1842, and which it was
suspected the prisoners had disposed of by unfair
means, as they so positively refused to give any ac-
count of it ?
Hams, 248 K, replied in the affirmative, and called
the following witnesses :
Elizabeth Laws, living at 21, Brown's-lane, Spital-
fields, stated that at the latter end of August, 1842,
the prisoners, who were accompanied by a little boy,
two years old, hired apartments in her house, and
that in about a week afterwards the female prisoner
gave birth to a male child, which was full-grown and
perfectly healthy. The prisoner had no baby-linen
ready, and she (witness) supplied her with it.
About a month after that the prisoners left her house
clandestinely, taking with them the child in question,
and upon witness going up into the room they had
occupied, she found every article of child's clothing
she had lent the prisoner left behind them, and hang-
ing upon a line. She had never seen anything of
either of the prisoners since.
Maria Ridley, a midwife, proved having attended
the female prisoner at her accouchement on the 26th
of August, 1842, when she was delivered of a re-
markably fine male child, which was both full-grown
and in every respect in perfect health.
Diana Still, of No. 12, Sebright-street, Bethnal-
green-road, stated that in September, 1842, the pri-
soners engaged an unfurnished room in her house.
They were accompanied by a little boy, about two or
three years of age. The woman appeared in a very
weak state, as if she had just got up from a confine-
ment, but she had no baby with her, nor did she make
any allusion whatever to having had one. They left
about five months afterwards, having been ordered to
quit by witness's husband, in consequence of their
cruel treatment towards the little boy. The prisoners
had been frequently in the habit of going out for hours
together, leaving the poor child shut up in a deal
box, and locking the door :of the room after them.
The child frequently remained ao locked up till mid-
night, when the prisoners generally returned and re-
leased it.
Mrs. Laws here stated, that while the prisoners
lodged at her house, they were guilty of similar in-
stances of cruelty towards the boy, whom they were
repeatedly in the habit, when they went out, of shut-
ting up in one of the drawers of a chest in their room
till their return.
Hams, the officer, stated that he had ascertained
from Mr. Lawrance, a master shoemaker at Cam-
bridge-heath, Hackney, for whom the male prisoner
had formerly worked, that a young man who had
lodged in the same house with the prisoners
in Brown's-lane had been to his (Mr. Lawrance's)
house, and made frequent inquiries of him to
ascertain the prisoners' address, declaring that if
he could only discover it, he would instantly give
them both into custody for destroying the life
of their child. He (Hams) in consequence had
been using exertions to find this young man, but had
not been able as yet to ;do so. He had traced the
prisoners to a lodging in a house at the back of
Shoreditch Church, which they occupied before they
lodged at Mrs. Still's, where they went without the
infant of which the female prisoner had been so re-
cently delivered, and there he lost all further trace of
their movements; but he hoped he should succeed in
finding the young man, who, no doubt, could give
important information.
Mr. BROUGHTON said as the evidence of the medical
officer absolved the prisoners from the charge of
(*using the death of the child which had died in the
workhouse, they would now, as far as regarded that
child, be only sent to take their trials for deserting the
infant; but with respect to the other child, of which
it had been proved that the female prisoner had been
delivered two years ago, its fate was wrapped in such
mystery, that nothing could remove the suspicion at-
taching to both prisoners, but a full and candid reve-
lation on their part. Would the male prisoner give
this explanation ? Male prisoner—l could very
easily do so, if I chose, but I decline saying any-
thing about it at this court.
The female prisoner remained silent.
Mr. BROUGHTON said, in that case, he could not
think of parting with them as yet; he should send
them both back to prison to enable the police to make
further inquiries into the matter, and endeavour to
ascertain the fate of the missing infant, if possible.
The depositions of the witnesses were then taken in
the first charge, on which the prisoners were com-
mitted for trial, and they were remanded to answer
the second.

THAMES POLICE.
Yesterday George James, a dissolute-looking lad,
about fifteen or sixteen years of age, was charged
with highway robbery under the following curious
circumstances :
Henry Morton, a very intelligent boy, fifteen years
old, but short for his age, stated that he was bred to
the sea, and had gone two or three short voyages.
On his return from the last of these he went home to
his father, who resides at Cheltenham, in Gloucester-
shire, taking with him 14, which was all he had been

► able to save up. He found that his father had been
some time out of employment, and tendered him the
money, but the poor man, not being able to niake any
provision for the lad, gave it back to him again, tell-
ing him to go to London, and procure another ship.
He consequently came to town about a fortnight since,
and lived as sparingly as he could upon the sovereign
whilst looking out for a ship. On Tuesday evening,
whilst he was talking to a lad at the St. Katherine's-
dock, the prisoner and another, who overheard him
inquiring after a ship, came up and addressed him.
They then moved a little away and whispered after
which the prisoner again addressed him, and said he
could procure him a ship, but it would not do for the
whole four of them to go to the captain, who would
blow them up. Complainant, who promised the pri-
soner a shilling in the event of his procuring him a
ship, proceeded with him and his compani©n towards
Black wall, where they took him to a shed near the Gun,
and asked him where was his money, to which he made
no answer. Upon this, the prisoner took a blue kerchief
with white spots from his pocket, and tied it round the
complainant's mouth, threatening if he called out, to
stifle him. The other lad then put his hand into com-
plainant's pocket, and took all the money he had—
namely, four shillings, 6d. in halfpence, and six far-
things. They then ran away, and he pursued them,
calling out, " Stop thief." The prisoner was subse-
quently caught by a constable, hut the other had got
away. Police-constable Davies, 94 K, hearing the
cry of " Stop thief;" pursued the prisoner, who, in the
true artful dodge style, also called out " Stop thief,"
at the top of his voice. When arrested, he cried out,
" Oh, Sir, it was not me ; it was a shipmate of mine."
Witness asked him what his shipmate had done ? to
which the prisoner, pointing to complainant, replied,
he had robbed the boy of Us. 6d. The complainant
then came up, and, addressing the prisoner, said,
" You have done sufficient to transport you, as you
and your mate have robbed me of 55." He, at the
same time, added, " What did you tie the handker-
chief round my mouth for ?" To which the prisoner
replied, " What if I did ? I did not think any harm
of it ; but I dare say we shall overtake my shipmate,
and find whether he has your money." The prisoner
was then taken to the station-house, and on being
searched nothing was found on him but a spotted blue
kerchief, the same with which the prisoner's mouth
was tied up. The prisoner said he knew nothing
more of the matter, except that the lad who was with
him offered to take complainant and introduce him to
his captain. They went together, and on coming to
Blackwall, the other boy, of whom he knew nothing,
except hearing from him that he ran away from his
parents, thrust his hand in complainant's pocket and
ran away. He (prisoner) pursued and overtook the
boy, but he succeeded in getting away again.
Davies, the constable, here stepped forward, and
said the prisoner told him he and the other lad came
from St. Alban's together, and slept at the Holborn
Union on Monday night.
Mr. BRODERIP said, that if the boy's statement
was true, the case deserved attention and he should
be looked after. He would remand the prisoner
until Tuesday next, and in the mean time it was pro-
bable that the other lad would be apprehended.
Inspector Rutt, who seemed much interested in the
lad's case, said he would see to a full provision in the
interim.

Mr. BRODERIP commended the boy to his care, ex-
pressing the fullest reliance on his humanity.
The case excited the deepest interest, owing to the
youth of all the parties involved, and the more than
ordinary intelligence which the poor little fellow dish
played throughout the inquiry.
Mr. Leadley, the junior clerk, undertook to write
to Gloucestershire, to test the accuracy of his state-
ment ; and

The MAGISTRATE assured the lad, that if his story
proved true, no pains should be spared to provide him
with a ship, and furnish him with an equipment.

BRIGHTON, LEWES, AND HAS-
TINGS RAILWAY.
The first General Meeting of the Directors and
Shareholders in this Company was held yesterday
afternoon, pursuant to the terms of the Act of Par-
liament, at the terminus of the London and Brighton
Railway, London-bridge.
'Wm. Nash, Esq., took the chair.
The Secretary read the report, which stated that
the contracts for the works had been entered into at
a sum below the Parliamentary estimate. The con-
tractor had agreed to take a portion of the contract-
money in shares in the Company. The Directors
were happy to announce that they had received
the cordial co-operation of the landowners on the line
—more particularly that of the Earl of Chichester,
Lord Gage, and Col. Trevor, who had, in the most
generous manner, presented the Company with the
sum of 5001., to be applied towards the preliminary
expenses. The Directors observed, with regret, the
continued determination of the South-Eastern Com-
pany to contest for the traffic to Hastings with this
Company. The Brighton Company had agreed to
take up 1,400 shares in the Company, and it had still
been found necessary to issue 2,100 shares more. A,
proposition had been received from the Brighton
Company, to take up any number of shares not ex-
ceeding 3,000, provided the option were given them
of taking the line, when completed, at 4 per cent. on
the estimate cost of 475,0001. The report was re-
ceived and adopted.
A resolution was then passed, authorising the Di-
rectors to cause surveys to be made for a line passing
through Rye, to join the South-Eastern Railway, at
or near to Ashford, and for a line between Lewes and
the Brighton Railway, in a north-westerly direction,
with a view of materially shortening the distance be-
tween London and Hastings.
A vote of thanks was passed to Lord Chichester,
Lord Gage, and Col. Trevor.
The meeting was then made special, to confirm the
proposition of the Brighton Company, which having
been done, the meeting separated.

NEW AND VEXATIOUS REGULA-
TION AT THE CUSTOM-HOUE.
We have received a letter, inserted elsewhere, and
signed a " London Merchant," on a new regulation
in the Customs' department, which calls for the atten-
tion of the commercial public, and, in our opinion, for
vigorous remonstrances against the continuance of
this novel annoyance to trade.
Our mercantile readers are aware that in case of
export of exciseable articles on which a drawback of
the duty is allowed, it has long been the practice
for the merchant to send notice to the Export-
office of his intention to pack excised goods on which
the drawback was to be claimed, when an officer was
sent to his premises to superintend and certify the
packing, on whose report and certificate the goods
were passed at the Custom-house without further
molestation. By the new regulation, this con-
venient and proper practice is to be discontinued,
and such goods are to be sent down to the quays,
where the searcher can only perform his office of as-
certaining the amount of drawback to be allowed by
opening the packages and examining the contents,
which are then to be repacked by the labourers of
the Custom-house. The bare enunciation of the fact
will suffice to convince our commercial friends
of the loss, detriment, and iniquity, implicated
in the new practice. The answer to remonstrances
on the innovotion—as remonstrances on such a matter
must be loud and frequent—is, that the change has
been made by order of the Lords of the Treasury.
We do not affect to dive so far into the arcane of
official tactics as to pretend to know in what depart-
ment the first move towards the pernicious change
had its origin—whether it ' was suggested to the
Treasury by the Customs, or whether it sprung
from the board of supreme finance. But it is
evident to our mind that the new regulation has
been put into operation through pure ignorance
of the nature and requirements of " packing"
for over-sea transit. It surely could not have been
known by those from whom the order emanated, that
the business of packing goods was an art—an employ-
ment of skill and knowledge ; and that every distinct
kind of goods demanded its peculiar care, arrange-
ment, and contrivance to fit it for sea voyages ;—that
every trade, in fact, had its own system for packing
its particular wares;—that the safety and durability
of goods on a voyage depended mainly on the
skill and care in packing them;—that the
costs and charges of transport were much affected
by the mode of packing ;—that many goods were
so compressed by immense mechanical force,
that no unassisted human power could reduce
them into the same compass, in the event of a pre-
mature release from the compression of the packer.
All this and much more regarding the commercial
importance of the 'art of packing, should have been
well considered by the Government authorities be-
fore they undertook to issue an order which went to
contravene the especial care of traders for the se-
curity of their goods—to nullify all their cost and
labour in packing, and to leave a large amount of
our exported manufactures to damage, mutilation,
and almost certain destruction, under the opening
and repacking of a set of unskilled, careless, undi-
rected, Custom-house labourers.
It is manifest to all practical men, that the new
regulation cannot be persisted in, unless in every
Custom-house in the kingdom there be set up a regular
packer's establishment, with all the implements, sur-
rounded by all the skill and special knowledge called
for in every particular branch of the export trade in
excise goods. The concoctors of the new regulation,
whether Lords of the Treasury or Commissioners of
Customs, did not, we are convinced, foresee the serious
derangements to our commercial pursuits, the great
danger of damage to our expert produce, which it in-
volves. We trust, therefore, that the authorities will
at once see the necessity of abandoning such a vexa-
tious and absurd rule; and not wait until merchant-
exporters shall be driven to try whether in our courts
ofjustice they cannot obtain redress for damage sus-
tained by the ill-advised and arbitrary administration
of a public fiscal board,—Journal of Commerce.

In order to mark the reef which projects from the
point of the Seaw, a Beacon Buoy was some time
back laid down at its N.E. extremity, which lies in
four and a halt fathoms water, in the direction W. by
S. of the Lighthouse and the Old Church Steeple,
both in one line, and was furnished with three brooms.
In addition to the foregoing, another Beacon Buoy has
now been laid down at the S.E. extremity of the reef, in
four fathoms water, the Lighthouse bearing W.N.W., and
the old Skrugen Church. Steeple W. This Beacon Buoy
is provided with only two brooms, and will, in the same
manner as the first-mentioned buoy, lie out during the,
winter ; and should it be carried away by the ice, it will
be replaeed by another as soon as circumstances may
permit.

LIGHT ON BRUSTERORT, BETWEEN PILLAU
AND MEMEL.
Royal Prussian General Consulate, London'
September 25, 1844.
Sir,—l am directed by his Prussian Majesty's De:
partment for Foreign Affairs to aoquant you that
it is
intended to erect on Brusterort, a projecting point of
land between Pellau and Memel, a revolving light of the
second class, upon Fresnel's plan ; but as the building
cannot be finished for some considerable time, it has been
deemed necessary to renew the North Beacon at Brus-
terort, which was burned down in September, 1842, and
to give the Sea Light there an improved construction.
I beg to inclose you a translation of a notice to marl'
ners, which has been published in the Continental pa-
pers. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient
servant. (Signed) B. IIEBETER,

The Sea Light exhibited on Bristerort has been im;
proved so as to show two fixed lights, the position and
elevation being the same as the former, and visible in
clear weather at a distance of about 21 German miles,
within 101 degrees of the horizon, namely, from W. t°
N. by N.N.E. (query, if from W. to N. by E. round by
North.) Both lights will be exhibited for the first time
on the evening of the Ist of October, 1844, and kept
burning from sunset to sunrise through the year.
