POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.—A master sweep was summoned
to the Justice Room to answer for having assaulted one of
his apprentices.
• There was. a great congregation of sweeps present, it
being a matter of some interest to know how far a master
ia the trade would be sanctioned by the city magistrates in
" whopping 7 his boys. •
The complainant stated that his master had often
" whopped " him for nothing, but on the occasion mow al-
luded to his master " wollopped " him till the blood issued
from his ears, and be could'nt " bear it by no means."
The defendant said, that, instead of being cruel, he
punished cruelty in correcting his apprentices. The fact
was, that the complainant had some notion of going into
the pugilistic ring, and to prepare himself for the work
used to huffett about a little tellow-labourer of his, who was
" minnikin " enough to go up any flue the air could pass
through. The poor little fellow was sure, as soon as he
had done his day's business, to get some bard blows from
his-big comrade, who threw himself into a fighting atti-
tude, and, with two sweeps' caps for gloves, pummelled his
unresisting opponent until the latter tumbled upon the
earth. The defendant concluded by stating, that having
seen the complainant exercising such wanton cruelty, he
certainly did wring him by the ears, and slap him well in the
face.
Alderman CROWDER asked at what time this took place.
The defendant said it was after dinner.
The complainant—Dinner, your Worship ! Vy, he never
gives us no dinner except cabbage leaves and waxy tattles.
The master sweep indignantly denied this charge.
The little sweep, who was said to have been beaten by
his brother of the chimney, was then' sent for, and the
Worthy Alderman asked him how his master chastised his
boys.

Witness (evidently not understanding the question)—Vy,
very well.
The ALDERMAN-.—l mean, how often he beats you.
Witness.--Oh, how often he voFs us ! Vy, he vops us yen
ye rants it.—(Laughter.)
The ALDERMAN—And how does he feed you ? Witness
—Vy, he feeds us very yell. He gives us good wittles.
The ALDERMAN—He does not feed you on cabbage
leaves? Witness—He gies us cabbage, but he biles it, and
ve eats it.—(Laughter.)
The ALDERMAN—What did he strike this boy for?
Witness—Eh, vy, because Jack vas a vopping me, and
master vouldn't stand it no more, so he swere his eyes
if he You'd, and so he 'cropped Jack ; and, my ey es, if he
didn't gie it him.—(Loud laughter.)
The ALDERMAN—What, he struck him hard? Witness
—Ay, I believe you ; he did gie him a goad un.
The poor child then turned to one of the officers, and
said—Vy, you know Jack vopped me hard ; but if master
didn't gie it him as hard, I'm blowed.
The ALDERMAN said it was evident that the complainant
deserved punishment for having ill-treated the poor little
fellow, who was obliged "to climb without the benefit of
ascending." There was, however, a medium to be ob-
served,. and the master had certainly exceeded it. His
Worship then censured the master for having acted with
unnecessary violence, and the apprentice for having com-
mitted the cowardly offence for which he had been punished,
advising the latter to take care of the prize-ring, or he
would soon feel the terrible effects of fair play front his
match.

A porter was charged with having broken a window of
the King's Arms pub'ic-house, in Thames-street, by shoot-
ing tobacco-pipes at it for the amusement of his friends.
Defendant—l assure your Worship I had no. malicious
intent against the window.
ALDERXAS-.-I don't say you had, but you must pay the
man.

The defendant was mueli displeased at this nracr, hu
th Alderman proved inflexible.

GUILDHALL—The post yesterday brought another
complaint against Holtaway, of the late servants' hiring
office, in the Old Bailey. The writer, an assistant-surgeon
at Pligham Ferrer.% states, that in March, 1827, he paid the
admission fee, and was introduced to one Baron de Thierry,
and another fellow, with whom he agreed to go to New
Zealand, as an assistant-surgeon, and with the money paid
down to him, and expended in equipping himself for the
voyage, he lost, without exaggeration, 100/. Tie writer
was assured that Holtaway's transactions had been more
extensive than the public were aware of. Many young
men in the medical profession, of his acquaintance, had been
duped by Lloltaway, who were at present out of Europe.
Sir PETER LAURIE said he believed the statement, and
supposed the parties who had been tricked refrained from
coming forward, because they were ashamed of being gulled
so easily. He regretted exceedingly that he had not com-
mitted him upon the first charges.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.--Yesterday, Joseph
Lardey, the driver of the hackney-coach No. 569, wee
brought from St. Giles's watch-house, before Mr. CONANT
the sitting Magistrate, charged with wantonly driving his
coach so as to endanger the life of a young female.
The complainant, who appeared in a very weak state,
said that herself and another young woman, who was. in
service in a family, bad been together on Monday evening,
and were on their way home about ten o'clock, when sud-
denly the other young woman was taken ill in the street,
and the defendant with his coach was called from the stand
in Broad-•street, Bloomsbury, through which they were
passing at the time, to convey her home. When she got
into the coach, a man who was evidently an acquaintance of
the prisoner's, jumped iu after her, and the prisoner imme-
diately drove off at full speed, without allowing the com-
plainant time to get in at all. The young woman inside,
who hail a good deal of property, called repeatedly to be
let out again, and the complainant, with a view to assist
her, laid hold of the handle of the coach-door, and she was
dragged along witkout the power of extricating herself for
the whole length of a street, until at last she fell, while the
coach was still going on at a rapid rate, and one of the hind
wheels passed obliquely over her hip and shoulder, and injured
her very severely. While she was dragged along in the perilous
situation described, she repeatedly, she said, called to the
prisoner to stop, but instead of tato:ding to her cries, he in-
(leased his speed, until she fell, and the coach-wheel went
over Ler. The prisoner did then stop his horses, but in
doing so, while she was still down, he backed his horses,
and this site ran a double Lazard of losing her life, for one
of the fore wheels passed partially over her head, crushing
her bonnet in pieces, and tearing off some of her hair, so
that it was a miracle how she escaped death. A watch-
man then came up and seized the horses' heads, and stea-
died them until she was extricated from under the wheels.
She was then taken to the hospital, and the surgeon said
that although not dangerously, she was'very severely hurt,
and advised her by no means to leave the hospital so soon,
but she was afraid that if she did not appear the prisoner
would escape.

The watchman who stopped the horses said that nothing
could be more wanton than the conduct of the prisoner ;
for although repeatedly called to, not only by the poor girl
herself, while her life was in the utmost peril, but also by
him the watchman and others, who witnessed the transac-
tion, he, instead of pulling up, whipped on his horses as
fast as they could go.
The complainant produced the clothes and bonnet which
she wore on the occasion, and they were completely torn
into pieces by the carriage-wheels.
The prisoner (who denied that lie drove on either wan-
tonly or purposely, said that he never heard either the girl
herself, or any one else, call to him to stop) was ordered to
find bail for the assault on the girl, and to give 48 hours'
notice of bail.

BOW-STREET.—Yesterday John Brandon, formerly
a guardian of the night, was brought before the -presiding
Magistrates, Sir I. BrutrlE and Mr. Haus, charged with
causing a riot in Cbandos-street, Covent-garden, at two
~'clock yesterday morning.

The prisoner, on being placed in front of the Magis-
trates,
appelretl very assiduous in adjusting hi* apparel,
whiche
was of a most complicated texture, consisting of the
h part art of a coat, and half a pair of corded breeches, the
naked part of which he partially concealed with what
tenth
r tt e B
passed some years back for a hat, in which was the remains
of an orange handkerchief.

Kane, a watchman, deposed, that about two o'clock
yesterday morning he heard' the prisoner shouting, in a
most inharmonious strain, " Croppies lie down," at the
end of each stanza of which he delivered an oration against
the Pope and Popery; on which witness desired him to
desist and not disturb the neighbourhood. This the pri-
soner not relishing, he replied with a volley of abuse, in
which he the Pope and witness.

Sir R. RIIINIV-4 shall require you to find bail. Pri-
soner—"as he was leaving the office,
said, " I can assure you it is not necessary to send out-of
So Y°limay;" and.
the parish for persons to go bail for me, as I can procure
within upwards of twenty as loyal brothers as myself, who
call."are

Rlr. lIALLs—I suppose that man is what they call on
Orangeman.

A poor man, named Dray, in the employ of Mr. Ben-
nett, coal-factor, applied to the Magistrates for assistance to
enable him to find his wife, who has been missing since
the I I tli of June last. It appeared on that morning she
left him after breakfast to go to his sister's, and never re-
turned—that he made every possible inquiry to ascertain
what became .of her, but without success, and lie feared
she had made away with herself, as she had been in a des-
ponding state for some flays before. They had been 21

CANTERBURY. Sept. 20.

Since this day week our Wheat market has gradually
advanced from 6s. to tae. per quarter, for fine quality, both
for Old and New, and a fine parcel of the latter was sold
to-day even as high as its. Our supply was extremely
short, but in consequence of the high prices demanded

little business was transacted. New Beans come to band
in good condition, but Barley, Pease, and Oats, are touch
deteriorated in quality and condition.

purchases for the late contract. Jamaica Rums
were sold to the extent of nearly 200 puncheons,
chiefly fine quality, 32 to 35 over 4s. a 4s.
Brandy was little varied, and the general impression
was that the new Brandies would open at low prices
in France. Geneva is still at nominal quotations,
the inquiries being considerable (but only for small
parcels), and there being no adequate supplies at
market.

Tallow was general and extensive last week, and

At Dijon, on the 13th instant, an auctionel
who had moved in a respectable circle stood in the pil-1/4%
and teas branded, previous to being sent to the
life, in pursuance of a sentence pronounced on him OPi;
conviction of forgery. It was proved that in the exerco
of his profession he had committed no fewer than
forgeries, sonic of which date from 1820.

ASCENT OF TIIE JOUNGFRAu,—_Extract
of a private letter of a recent date from Berne
the 20th of August two Englishmen attempted to msce;;,j
the Joungfrau on the side next Lauterbrounn, acenropaT,
by nine of the inhabitants of the village. They arrive"
far as the Red Valley, at a considerable height ; but l'% f
they were stopped by unforeseen difficulties. They areLii
opinion, however, that the summit is accessible on
side. On the 21st an inhabitant of Berne undertook ‘v,",
some hunters of chamois to ascend to the summit, starwl;
from Grindelwald and passing behind .the Eiger and t
Monk. He persevered in his enterprise for eight ivll;,,
slays, during Which period he had to encounter difficalPi
of every kind. On the 29th he returned to Grindelo*dd
after having planted a colour upon the crest of the tioull
taiu, between the Monk and the loftiest part of the Jotl
frau. This colour may be seen from Wengernalp,
even from Berne."
