POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL—Aix Is %mt.—Whilst the Lord
Mayor, Mr.. Alderman Wood, Mr. Alderman Waitl►man and Mr.
Alderman Thompson were on the hustings yesterday, scrambling
for -the representation of the City, Alderman Sir Ctwuntus
lir/Nrcit wits busily . engaged in the Justice-roo►u, endeavouring
to reconcile the connubial ditterences'of a Mr. and Mrs, Gatehouse.
Mrs. Gatehouse, a loud-spoken matron, complained that
her spouse, a large, full-spread, comely, quiet-talking personage,
hail fur more than five Yea" last past been eontinually battering
and bruising her, and encouraging his daughter (by a former wife)
to call her hard mimes, and bump her with a cei tails heavy uten-
sil,
.by laundresses eAled a flat-iron, until by all these. long con-
tinued humping's, . bruising% and battering*, she was literally
bumped, bruised, and battered, to a mere' mummy ; and she
therefore hoped the Alderman would hind Mr. Gatehouse down,
in such mauler that lie could not repeat the like again.
Sir CLAIIDIRTS liuwren observed, that he really did not per-
ceive tut), outward sign of all those batterings and bumping,—
and ha endeavoured to prevail upon Mrs.. Gatehouse to retire with

her husband and come to Some amicable arrangement ; as the in-
terfs4ence of the Magistrate could only widen the breach between
them. But Mrs. Gatehouse was peremptory to hate her husband
" bound rlown,'.' and. therefore the Aldermen asked him what he
hail to sap
_ .

. .
" Why, sir," said Mr. Gatehouse—having first charged his
thumb and finger with a very ample pinch of black rappee.—
" Why, Sir, I hardly know how to make either top or tail of
my wife !"
". Well, that is very possible," said Sir Claudius Hunter; "but
it is no reason why you should beat her."
" •Beat her, My dear Sir !" rejoined ,Mr. Gatehouse, " I never
beat her but when she deserves it. She is of such a eantaukerous
temperaMent, that without a little 'correction- now end then,
it would be impossible- to keep- her within bounds ; and she has
no one else, to correct lien..-ho What am to do, your • Worship?"
" Why you are not to beat her," replied Sir C. }limns.
the best way for you to do, when she will • not be quiet, is ti,
walk out of the house and leave her until her anger is over. That
is what I:should always rectmunend in sub cases."
" But, Sir'," rejoined Mr. Gatehouse, "my circumstances -will
not allow me to leave home—l have my business to attend ,to ;
and if I was to leave borne 'every time she is- out of temper,
I should hardly ever be there, and my business would soon go

t ruin."

Here Mrs. Gatehouse, who, being 'rather deaf, bad been anxi-
ously trying. to hear what wing going on, exclaimed—" Ohl if
your Worship listens to him, he'll tell you a tale an hour king.
This is the way' he's alWays talking at home ; brit I hope
your Worship won't listen to him, for if you du there 'II be no
end to it." •

" 1 pity her !...from my soul 1 pity her ! ' ejaculated Mr.
Gatehouse—absorbing another ample pinch of ruppee, and ye-
.gardin Airs. GatelMuse with a look of much kindness.
" I assure your Winship," .continued Mrs. Gatehouse, " that
his daughter calhl ur an old cat, tint 4 catamaran, and a vile old
hypocrite,.—only because there is a chapel I go to sometimes ; and
Was black and blue for a ,month the last time his thoightet
humped me with the tiiit4rou."
Why an you hot your daughter betit her?" asked Sir
Claudius.

Mr. Gatehouse 'explained, that tb;., daughter was ".a great
woe of contention" between thew---she being a daughter by a
inner 'Mrs. Gatehouse, .and •of course very obnoxious to :the
resent Mrs. Gatehouse, who was continually urging hini to

turn her out of doors, which he was fully determined not to do.
Whilst the girl was very young she used her cruelly, but now
she was grown up, she retaliated whenever she was ill-treated,
and that led to continual squabbles-between him and Mrs. "Gate-
house. " 'But, added,' he, "I pity hir-4ront my soul, 'I pity
her ! for I think she would be better tempered if ghe could, and
t haven() doubt her deafness nukes her woise."

" Bind him dawn, your Worship !" cried Mrs. Gatehouse.
His Worship, however, would not bind him down ; but ob-
serving that he plainly perceived, they were "oil in the wrong,"
he dismissed them with an earnest recommendation to he all in
the right no soon as they possibly could.
MA RI.H.OROITC; 11-STHEET.—A neat looking Irish woman
was charged by Judy Sheen, with rubbing her of seven shilliege.
" Ylale yur Wurtship," " last night I bed a qui,.
drop hi toy head, and two half-crowns and two shillings snug in
the inside of my stocking,
,ea wurtghip, ainl that xaljw mature
at the bar come to me when I was aslape on the bed, and she tuk
the garter off the top of my leg, yur tourtddp, and the money' out
of the bottom of my stocking."
Magistrate.—" Then you Was asleep."
Judy Sheen.—" complately aslape, yur wurtship."
(fere the prisoner declares) that holy sheen told another woman
tvere hosle/y intossicated, that Mee. 8. was more tipsier than the
other, and they brought her lip becase they bail a dismosity;
against her.
Tice Magistrate, however,. ordered the charge to be entered,

On Friday evening next MAHAN! intends. to sing the following
staneas, (adapted by him to some of Vol.: Wtara's popular
melodies), 'Written by PLANcttE, to the memory of the Composer
of his Oberon :
ON THE DEATH OF C. M. VON WEBER.
Weep, for the word is spoken— ,
Mourn, for the kusell bath knolVd—
The master chord is broken,
And the master band is cold!
. Romance bath lost her minstrel,
No more his magic strain •
Shall throw a sweeter spell around
The legends of Almaine !
Hie fame had flown before him
To many a foreign land, -
His lays were sung by every tongue,
And harp'd by ev'ry hand
He came to call fresh laurels ;
But fate was in their breath,
And turn'd his march of triumph
• Into a dirge of death!
O, all who knew him lov'd him,
For with his mighty mind,
He bore himself so meekly—
His'heart—it 'was so kind !
Ilis wildly warbling melodies
The storms that .round them roll—
Are types of the simplicity
And grandeur of his soul !
Though years of ceaseless suffering
Had worn him to a shade,
So patient was his spirit,
No wayward plaint he made.
E'en Death himself seem'd loath to scare
His victim pure and mild, •
And stole upon him quietly
•
As slumber o'er a child !
Weep, for the word is spOken—
Mourn, for the knell bath knoll'd—
. The master chord is broken !
The master handle cold !
