Contrary to our anteipittion, the speeches of Lord
Stanley at Varringt .n last night afforded no materials
far comment. Ilis Lordship was all smoothness and ur-
banity: compliments flowed from his lip., and he re-
velled in common-place. For a: man of Hs conscious
power to SO deal in harmless nothings must have been
a task of considerable difficulty. Once, indeed, , he
(I;4;re:wiled a sulject that would have probably given
grt ater vigour to his periods. Ire just touched upon
free-trade, probably to feel the pulse of his auditory.
There was such as evident disunion of sentimOnt, ho iv.
ever, amongst those present, some cheering and some
hissing, that he shrunk from the exciting topic, and
stepped back into the quiet path which he had quitted
but for a moment.— LivErpool Times of this day.

SALE OF ICAILNVAY SITUATIONS.—A correspondent
of the Lirerpccl Courier suggests that all situations on rail-
ways should be sold publicly to the highest bidder, and the
money be returned (less 5 per cent. per annum) in case of
resigning, so that at the end of twenty years nothing wolild
have to be returned. Most of the clerks, lie says, would re-
main in office that petite', by which the company would net
only gain by it, but would have double security for fidelity.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
William Watt was brought before Mr. Hardwick
on the following charges.
Joseph Kendall, cab proprietor, stated that he had
known the prisoner for same time. Last July twelve-
month the prisoner called upon him, and said he had
just obtained the situation of steward to the Earl of
Stamford, No. 33, Hill-street. He also stated that
he had great influence with railway companies, and
would obtain for complainant the privilege of putting
his cabs on at the railway stations. He then said
that he was short of cash and would be glad of a small
loan. Complainant, believing the prisoner to be a
respectable mar•, and that his statement was true re-
spatting his appointment as steward to Lord Stamford,
a,ivanced him some money then, and gave him more
at various times, until the whole amounted to 131.
The prisoner never had been in Lord Stamford's
service.

The case was remands d to Westminster Court, as
the offence had occurred in that district.
The prisoner was further charged with having con-
spired, with a woman named Mary Ann Tolfrey, to
defraud William Henry Richardson of 501.
The woman Mary Ann Tolfrey has recently been
convicted for obtaining money fraudulently from
various persons under pretence of procuring for them
Government situations through the influence of Lord
Alfred Paget.
The complainant said he had had 501. at command,
and he consulted with the prisoner to know whether
he could put confidence in Mary Ann Tolfrey, and
pay her the 501. on her promise to get bim a Govern-
ment prisoner gave Mrs. Tolfrey

Complainant was ultimately induced to part with his
farthing of which he had lost.

Mr. HARDWICK did not think the confederacy be-
tween the prisoner and Mary Ann Tolfrey sufficiently
established, and dismissed the charge.
MARYLEBONE.
In our paper of yesterday appeared the particulars
of a charge against Mr. Shivers, jun., of Cheltenham,
for having thrown a glass bottle from a carriage
,belonging to am excursion train, by which he was a
passenger, and thereby wounded Janses Wise, a guard
in the employ of the Great Western Railway Com-
pany, while be was standing close to the platform of
the Farringdon station, on Tuesday last.
Mr. Collard, Superintendent of the company's po-
lice, and other witnesses, were examined, and as no
evidence could be given as to whether the guard was
in danger, the defendant, who admitted having thrown
the bottle out of window, but without the slightest
intention or idea of hurting any one, was held to bail
in the sum of 160/. (two sureties in 801. each) for his
re-appearance at the court, Mr. Collard having, at
the suggestion and under the direction of the ma-
gistrate, undertaken to go down immediately to the
station at which the lamentable occurrence took place,
in order to ascertain the precise condition of the man
Wi?e, and in respect thereto to obtain a surgeon's
certificate.
To-day the defendant attended, pursuant to the
recognizance& entered into for his being forthcoming.
Mr. Charles, Tagart, solicitor, 47, Lincoln's Inn-
fields, was present on his behalf.
In reply to the magistrate, Mr. Collard said that
he had obtained a medical certificate from a surgeon
named Meddle, residing at Bristol, as to the present
condition of Wise. It was handed to the magistrate,
and it set forth that Alfred Wise was suffering from
a severe contused wound on the forehead, and that
some weeks would certainly elapse ere a cure would
be effected.
Wise (the wounded mat)), who had been brought
up by the train under the care of Mr. Collard, was
put into the witness-box. He seemed very weak, and
his left temple was strapp.d up with adhesive plaster.
fie made a brief statement, to the effect that he was
struck by a bottle and knocked down, and that when
he came to a state of consciousness he found himself
in one of the rooms at the station ; he was subse-
quently carried to the house of a surgeon in Wan-
tage-road, by whom the wounds which bad been in-
flicted upon him were dressed.
Mr. Collard produced sundry pieces of glass which
had been picked up at the spot, and his opinion was,
judging from the pieces in question, that it was a pint
porter bottle which was thrown from the window.
The solicitor addressed the magistrate on the part
of the defendant, and said that as the unfortunate oc-
currence was purely accidental, and that there was
no danger whatever to be apprehended, he trusted
that his Worship would permit the defendant (his
client) to make compensation to the guard for any
injury which be might have sustained.
Mr. BROUGUTON.said he could not consent to any-
thing like a compromise as suggested by the solicitor,
inasmuch as the offence was one of a nature in which
the public generally were materially interested. He
had given due and attentive consideration to the case
in all its bearings, and was of opinion that what had
arisen could hot be looked upon as an accident, al-
though he believed at the same time that there was
no intention of doing injury to any particular person.
He had, however, the power to commit the defendant
for trial.
The magistrate, after some further remarks, en-
larged the recognizences until Wednesday next; and
it was understood that in the event of the magistrates
in the part of the country where the offence was
committed holding ad interim their sittings, Mr. Col-
lard should give notice to the bail, in order to ensure
the attendance of the accused.
The defendant and his friends then left the court.
SOUTHWARK.
Cornelius Burrell, a young fellow, was charged
with being_ a suspected person, and with loitering
about the South-Eastern terminus, for the purpose of
committing felony.
A policeman stated that the prisoner with several
others were in the habit of lurking about the incline
of the railway, and were a source of great annoyance
to the public, particularly oa the arrival of trains, and
that many robberies of females bad occurred, who
entrusted their property to those fellows, and in many
instances never saw it again. On the previous night
the prisoner was hanging about the place, and he
(the policeman) took him into custody, and locked
him up.
Mr. Covina—For what ? Policeman—For lurk-
ing about there.
Mr. COMBS—DiI you see him commit any offence ?
Policeman—l did not see him, certainly, commit any
offence, but I knew him to be a suspected character,
and he is liable is punishment for intruding on the
company's ground.

Mr. Comne said that he very much doubted whether
the policeman was at all justified in taking the pri-
soner into custody. It was true that a man had no

taking the intruder before
a magistrate. He might proceed against him for a
trespass, and all the prisoner was proved to have done
was to walk about the place leading to the railway,
which was open to evert body. If (added the Magis-
trate) you had proved to me that the prisoner had
committed any effence while in the place you men-
tion, I should then have no hesiiation about the law,
but I do not feel that I should be doing my duty if I
punished him in this instance. If the public, as I be-
lieve they are, are liable to robberies by persons of
the prisoner's description, why do not the police keep
a look ou', and catch some of them, and then we
should know what to do; but to take this man and
lock him up forimerely loitering about in the place
mentioned, I thin'wits rather an overstretch of au-
thority, and I shall not detain him. The prisoner
was then discharged.
WANDS W ORTH.
William Goddard, a carter in the omploy of Mr.
Bug bee, contractor, was charged with stealing a cart-
load of bricks from the wharf of Messrs. Locke and
Neshatn, the said bricks being consigned to that firm ;
and 11I+'. William Robert Comber, of 2, B fitter sea-
bridge-road, builder, was charged with receiving .a
quantity of bricks, well knowing them to be stolen.
Police-constable Walker, 98 V, was the first wit-
ness sworn, and he stated that, in consequence of in-
formation he received, he was in Bittersea- square at
about half past six o'clock on Tuesday morning, and
at this time he perceived one of Mr. Bogbee's carts
laden with bricks going towards Battersea-bridge;
he watched it to the beck of Church-street into a
piece of vacant ground, in the rear of the garden of
the Europa pubdc-house. Goddard was driving the
cart, and he then shot out his load. Ile followed the
empty cart back to Messrs. Locke and Nesham's
wharf at the water-side, and on inquiry of Mr.
Randall -Weed he found he bad no contract at Bat-
tersea, and what •bricks went from there were sup-
posed to go to the New Prison. Witness then went
to the station and gave information of what he had
seen, and substqaently, in company with Sergeant
Daley, went to the spot where the b:icks were shot.
He there saw a bricklayer named Leggett and his
labourer, who was heighteniag a wall enclosing the
garden f the Europa Tavern, and' wing the bricks.
The latter was cutting them up as bats. Leggett
said he had been employed by the prisoner Coomber.
Witness told Leggett he must not touch any more of
the bricks, as they were the property of Messrs.
Locke and Nesham. He then remained watching
the bricks until Goddard was brought there in cus-
tody of Sergeant alley. The witness afterwards
went in search of the prisoner Coomber, who was not
at home, and he watched for him till half-past ten
o'clock at nigh, when he returned home. Witness ad-
dressed him, sayine, " Do you know anything of the
bricks which are at the back of Europa-place ?" and he
said, " Yes, I have purchased a thousand, and was
to pay 265. for them. I have purchased a great
many -thou/ands of him,
and have paid 2/. and 51. at
a time. 111,
2-tness asked him who he was, and
Coomber said he was agent at Bugbee's wharf, Wands-
worth. Witness said that party had no right to sell
