CULINARY WoRDER.--In a very recherche dinner
given last Saturday, by some friends of Mr. O'Connell,
at the Reform Club, there was a remarkable dainty dish
placed upon the table, entitled " Le Soufflé Monstre a
la Clontarf." The height of it was 29 inches, and the
width 17 ; it took four hours and a quarter to bake, and
contained 36 eggs, with other ingredients in proportion.
Fifty very small souffles were seen clinging round that
collosal mountain, and an extraordinary good likeness of
the great agitator (drawn on rice paper, and-surrounded
by wreaths of shamrock) appeared, as it were, rising
from the volcanic crater. It created much humour
amongst the assembled guests, and we are happy to
state that this monstrous sweet meeting was dispersed
with the most perfect order. -
AN UNWELCOME VISITOR.—On Saturday after-
noon, about five o'clock, Messrs. Sangster, umbrella, parasol,
and walking-stick manufacturers, Fleet-street, were thrown
into the utmost state of alarm in consequence of the sudden
appearance of a horse with a lad upon his back in their shop,
who, in his ingress, forced down the counter, on which were
lying a number of gold and silver-headed canes, most of which
were injured, besides demolishing a glass-door, the. panes of
which were shivered to atoms. A gentleman, who was
making r. purchase, was also knocked down with great force,
and the animal in turning, himself fell, the prostrate gentle-
man narrowly escaping being crushed by the weight of -the
horse's body. The horse, on being raised, was led out of the
shop ; but not before he had shattered a glass casement, and
done other damage. It appears that the animal had taken
fright at something in the street. The boy was not it all in-
jured, and the gentleman only slightly so.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.

THE LADY THIEVES.—Ann Elizabeth Earnshaw and
Emma Wells were placed at the bar this dav, before Mr.
Alderman Challis, for the purpose of being finally examined
on various charges of shoplifting.
Mr. Alderman Challis remarked, that the best course to
adopt would be to take the depositions inall the cases which
were perfect, and bind the witnesses over to prosecute, which
being done,
Mr Clarkson said that as the prisoners had now been
one month in custody, and during that time the officers had
done all in their power to ascertain whether the money in
the two saving-banks, standing in the names of the prisoners
was the produce of any robbery, and they not being able to
trace it to such a source. he now applied to have the books
given up to enable the prisoners. to obtain such assistance
as was necesLtry to their defence. Upon the principle of
humanity it ought not to be withheld.
Mr. Alderman CHALLIS said, that a vast quantity of
valuable property had been found, and although not traced
yet before they could be tried, some claimant might come
forward and own it ; besides further evidence might be ob-
tained, which would show the money might be-the result of
other robberies,

Mr. CLAuxsorsr—lf not, you will let them have it ?
Mr. Alderman CHALus—Certainly. If either of the pri-
soners asked to say any thing, he would hear them, other-
wise he should fully commit them for trial on the several
charges ; but they would be brought up on Monday the 10th
of April, and should nothing transpire they would' then 'be
sent to Newgate.
The prisoners were then fully .committed.

CLERKENWELL-(T HIS DAY.).
Two men named Madigan and Walshe, were charged with
assaults of a violent character on police constable 124 E.
It appeared from the evidence that on the previous night,
about twelve o'clock, the officer being on duty in Coram-
street, saw the prisoners shoving one another against the
shop windows, and thereby disturbing the inmates. The
officer requested of them to desist, but they became more
disorderly ; he took them into custody. IValslie immediately
struck him, and Madigan kicked him in so savage a manner
that he fell on the flags. In attempting to get up, Madigan
seized the constable's forefinger in his mouth, and tore away
the flesh from it. He knocked the officer down a second
time, and when he was lying on the flags kicked him. At
length the prisoners were secured.
The complainant added that he was still suffering great
pain from the wound on his finger.
Mr. Inspector Rawley stated that several of the respectable
inhabitants of the neighbourhood had complained of the pri-
soners and their associates.

Mr. GREENWOOD said he always made a distinction between
that inhuman practice of biting, and other kinds of assault,
and also where a prostrate man was kicked. He should send
Madigan to the House of Correction for 21 days, and Walehe
for seven days.

31A.RYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.)
Henry Jones, a boy, was placed at the bar charged with
having robbed his master, Mr. Barnard Swinstead, straw hat
manufacturer, 32, Oxford-street, of ten sovereigns and• a
straw bonnet.

The prosecutor stated that Jones had been employed by
him as errand boy, and on the 21st of February last he ab-
sconded, taking with him the money alluded to. The witness
had upon the Monday evening placed a sum of 301. in notes
and 10 sovereigns in gold in a cupboard at the back of his
shop, which cash was safe on the Tuesday evening. The pri-
soner came early upon the Wednesday, and soon after left,
leaving the shop door open. When witness came down stairs
he found that the lock of the cupboard had been forced open
and the gold abstracted. The bonnet had been left by a lady,
and the prisoner had been sent home with it, but it had never
been received.

Mr. linwimrsex—How is it that he had not been taken
into custody before? Mr. Swinstead—He was taken into
custody at Sheerness a few days after, on suspicion of having
stolen the money which he was spending very freely, and I
wrote to the constable there, stating that an officer would be
down on the- succeeding morning; but that person, after
taking the balance, 31., from him, let him go.
Mr. RAWLINSON said it was a most reprehensible thinwand
before committing the prisoner he should like to see the ofti.•
cer from Sheerness. He should therefore remand the case for
a week.

UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
Ann Kelly was brought before Mr. Traill, charged with
stealing eight sovereigns from Mr. John Marsh, under the
following circumstances :
The complainant, who resides in Trinity-square, was met
by the prisoner on the preceding night, and accompanied her
to a house in Newington. He had not been long in this
place when the prisoner contrived to obtain possession
of his purse containing eleven sovereigns. He missed
the purse and eight sovereigns, and when he ac-
cused her of robbing him, she conveyed something
into her mouth, and for some time was unable to arti-
culate, and become very ill. From the symptoms then appa-
rent it was believed she had managed to swallow the eight
sovereigns, but she denied that such was the. fact, and de-
clared that she knew nothing about the money. The com-
plainant, however, having no doubt on his mind as to his
being robbed by the prisoner, she was committed for trial.

THE CASE of SUPPOSED TRANCE

AT DEPTFORD.

In the last notice of this 'extraordinary case it was stated,
on the authority of several surgeons of experience, that de
composition of the body was going on, although not appa-
rent to a non-professional person. On Friday, however,
there were such unequivocal signs of decomposition having
taken place, that the parents of the deceased determined on
having a post mortem examination, and Messrs. Downing, sur-
geons to the H division of police, and Mr. Caleb Taylor, sur-
geon, of High-street, Deptford, were requested to perform the
operation, which they did in a most minute and careful man-
ner, and in which they were occupied several hours. The
following is an authorised copy of their report :

" POST MORTEM EXAMINATION ON THE BODY OF HENRY
