POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-HOUSE.

On Thursday a messenger of the Great Western
Railroad establishment was robbed of about 1,3001. in
Bank-notes, sovereigns, and silver, in the following
manner :—lt has been for some time his practice to
take a blue bag with a considerable sum of money in
it, from the railroad station at Paddington to Sir R.
C. Glyn's banking-house, in Lombard-street. On
Thursday, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, he
got upon the roof of the railway omnibus with his
blue bag, in which were wrapped up in a leathern
trunk 800 sovereigns and 5001. in Bank-notes. A
gentleman at the station having occasion to say a few
words to him, he got down, leaving his valuable
parcel on the top of the omnibus, and the moment he
was on the ground, five men mounted and occupied
the whole space. These men got down at different
places between the terminus and Marylebone Church,
and the messenger, upon arriving at Lombard-street,
took what he considered to be his parcel to the bank-
ing-house. He soon found that a very unwelcome
exchange had been made, for the blue bag, which had
been made to resemble his as closely as possible, was
filled with old pieces of lead and copper. Imagining
that his bag was still on the top of the omnibus, he
ran after the vehicle to the Brighton station, but
there, to his dismay, he ascertained that there was no
parcel of any kind.
The Bank-notes were ordered to be stopped at the
Bank, and immediate intelligence was given of the
robbery to John and Daniel Forrester, the officers.

and on pouring the remains of the tea out of the cup
into a saucer, he discovered a quantity of white sedi-
ment at the bottom of the cup. This convinced him that
poison had been thrown into the teapot while be was ab-
sent in the shop, and as there was no other person in
the room but his wife, he concluded that she had put it
there. As he still continued very ill, retching violently,
he and his son proceeded, without loss of time, to Mr.
Maize, chemist, of 274. Kent. street, and having exhi-
bited the sediment left in the cup, and also the paper
containing the lump of white stuff, they were pronounced
to be arsenic. He was still suffering from the effects of
what he had drunk, and an antidote having been admi-
nistered, he recovered sufficiently to be enabled to attend
the court that day, although he was still far from being
well. _ _

In reply to Mr. COTTINGHAM the complainant said that
there was no person but his wife in the parlour when he
went to attend on the customer; that he made the tea
himself, and was confident the teapot was quite clean at
the time; that he recollected now that his wife said on his
entering the room from the shop, taking up the teacup,
" This will be the signal for your whores, youl old
serpent." She made no remark when he was pouring
out the tea, but was using abusive language when he
commenced drinking it, and, amongst other things, said
that she hoped it might bring up his heart, when he be-
gan to get sick and retch; that while he was sick she
came down stairs with a stuffed bird, which he kept in a
case in one of the rooms, and threw it at his hea], and
again repeated her abusive language, but did not attempt
to give him anything to assuage the burning sensation
and sickness which he felt.

Mr. COTTING LIAM —Was .she sober ?—Perfectly so.
Mr. COTTINGHAM—HaS She ever threatened you be-
fore? Complainant--Yes. She has sworn that she would
get hanged for me before long. Not a week ago she
made use of that threat.
After some further evidence,
Mr. COTTINGII.I3I, addressing the prisoner, said that
the charge against her was one that affected her life, and
that at the present stage of the inquiry he would recom-
mend her not to say anything in answer to it ; and that
having given her that caution, she however might we
her own discretion, but that she was to remember that
whatever she did say would be taken down, and probably
used hereafter as evidence against her.
The prisoner said—l put myself in the hands of the
Lord. All I have to say at present is, that I am inno-
cent of the charge.

Mr. COTTINGfiAM said that he should remand the pri-
soner until next Wednesday, and in the meantime he
directed that every exertion should be used by the police
to trace out where the arsenic was purchased.
WANDSWORTH.

Hannah Hogan, the young woman who was charged
at Wandsworth Police-court with creating a disturbance
at the house of her late master, Mr. Gray, No. 7, Dorset-
terrace, Clapham-road, and who was afterwards charged
with attempting to drown herself, was yesterday removed
to Peckham Lunatic Asylum, a confirmed maniac.

WOODCOCKS.—A. few days ago, the proprietor of
Guilly-hill, C. D. Airston, Esq., received by an Edin-
burgh coach, from his estate in Stirlingshire, a box of
game, and upon the top of it, what is exceedingly rare
in August, a beautiful woodcock, the best of the three
varieties described by Latham. The stranger so early
in the season must either have returned to Scotland
prematurely, or have been cf a brood that remained
at home over winter. In the books it is stated truly
enough that the woodcock is migratory, and during
the cycle of the seasons visits a vast variety of cli-
mates. Generally, it leaves the countries bordering
on the Baltic, late in autumn, on the appearance of
winter—arriving not in flocks, but dropping in singly,
or at most in pairs, from the middle of October till the
end of December. It is a great mistake, however,
to suppose, as Bewick does, " that they do not remain
near the shores to take their rest longer than a day, but
commonly find themselves sufficiently recruited to pro
teed inland to the same haunts they left the preceding
season." So far from this, woodcocks in the first in-
stance betake themselves to the hills and moors, where
we have repeatedly seen them in so exhausted a state
that it would be easy to seize one by placing a hat over
its seat. Torpidity, or an approach to it after so long a
flight, continues nearly a week ; rest is then the great
requirement, although something may be got from pick-
ing heather bushes ; and it is not until after this period
of probation that woodcocks wing their way to the
marshes and bosky dells below, situated at some ten or
twenty miles distance.—Dumfries Courier.
THE LATE JOSEPH BONAPARTE.—The Debats
contradicts, on the authority of a letter from Italy, the
statement that Prince Joseph Bonaporte had bequeathed
66,000 f. to his brother Jerome, ex-King of Westphalia.
He left him simply a snuff box, as a mark of his affec-
tion, and another to Prince Louis. The fortune of
Joseph, the letter says, is far from being so considerable
as was stated.

---
THE DUTIES ON BOORS AND ENGRAVINGS.—On
the 6th ult. an Act came into force, entitled " An Act
to reduce, under certain circumstances, the duties pay-
able upon books and engravings." The object of this
statute is to enable her Majesty, by Orders in Council,
to carry out the Act of last year on international copy-
right, to declare that the authors, inventors, designers,
engravers, or makers of any books, prints, or other works
of art first published in any foreign country, shall have
the privilege of copyright therein, then and in every
such case it shall be lawful for her Majesty, by any Or-
der or Orders in Council, to declare that in respect of
books and prints, or either of them, published in and
imported from such foreign country, the duties of Cus.
toms now payable on the importation of books and prints
respectively, shall, from and after a time to be named in
such Orders, altogether cease and determine, and that in
lieu thereof there shall be payable on such books or
prints respectively such duties of Customs as are set
forth in the schedule annexed to'the Act. Her Majesty
may reduce the duties on books and prints in favour of
countries with which her Majesty has treaties of reci-
procity. The Orders in Council are to be published in
the London Gazette. By the schedule, the duty on works
in the language of the country of export, or on original
works in that country in the dead languages, or on other
works in the dead languages, with original commenta-
ries, produced in that country, to be 15s. the cwt.; on
all other works published in the country of export, if
prior to the year 1801, to be 20s. the cwt.; if printed in
or since 1801, 50s. the cwt. On prints and drawings,
plain or coloured, the duty on each to be one halfpenny
each, and on bound and sewed three halfpence the dozen.
COLLISION BETWEEN STEAMERS. —On Thursday
morning, about eight o'clock, a dangerous, and might
have been fatal, collision took place in our river, near
the Powder House, between the Severn iron steamer.
propelled by the screw, and the Usk, which is propelled
by paddles. It appears that the two vessels, which be-
long to rival companies, and trade between Newport and
Bristol, left their several ports early on Thursday morn-
ing, the Severn (screw steamer) having left Newport for
Bristol between six and seven o'clock, with between fifty
and sixty passengers ; and the Usk the basin, at the
Bristol Hotwells, with about seventy-nine passengers on
board, at twenty minutes after seven, in company with
the Beresford, bound for Swansea. On the Usk arriving
at Sea Mills reach, the Severn came suddenly round the
point, and struck the Usk about the larboard gangway,
carryingthe whole of the upper works, &c., of her
quarter, and the frame work into her cabin ;
uart
er, away
the shock is described as having been a most fearful one,
the sharp iron bow of the Severn tearing away and
crushing the bulwarks and timbers of the Usk like a
knife. Fortunately, although much alarmed, no acci-
dent occurred to the passengers ; and the injury to the
Usk being confined to the upper works, she was enabled
to proceed on her voyage. The Severn was compara-
tively uninjured. It would be idle in us to speculate as
to which party was to blame in the matter, which may
be the subject of closer investigation before a legal tri-
bunal.—Brzstol Gazette.
NAPLES.—Extract of a recent letter from this
city :—" There are several English families residing at
Castellamara, the marine resort of the fashion at this
period. Lord and Lady Brabazon have just sustained a
domestic bereavement by the death of their eldest child,
a beautiful boy in the sixth year of his age. It is only
a few weeks back that Lord and Lady Thomas Hay,
who are located there, lost their two eldest sons. The
Earl and Countess of Meath are expected here next
month, to meet Lord and Lady Brabazon. Lord and
Lady Walpole have lately arrived, as also the Hon.
Lady Pellew. Lady Walpole was confined a few days
back, and your readers may be interested to know that
her Ladyship and infant are both progressing favour-
ably. Lord and Lady Holland came from Florence last
month, and her Ladyship is gradually improving in
health. The King and Queen are still at Castellamara,
but it is rumoured in the court circles that their Ma-
jesties contemplate shortly to visit the Emperor and
Empress of Austria at Vienna, after the return of their
Imperial Majesties from Trieste. There is certainly
some foundation for this Royal movement, as prepa-
rations are about to be made for a journey the middle of
next month.

----
FATAL CONSEQUENCES OF EXCESSIVE DRINKING.—
Thursday, Mr. William Baker, Deputy Coroner, held
an inquest at the Crooked Billet, Radcliffe-highway, on
the body of James Herst, aged thirty, a mariner. It
appeared by the evidence, that about a fortnight since,
deceased had returned home from a voyage to Berbice
and Miramichi. The vessel in which he had sailed was
last
sbnenkw,asa
a temperance ship. Immediately on coming on shore he
commenced his old habits of drinking, from which during
the voyage he had been compelled to abstain. On being
paid off he received 11/., and had continued in a state of
intoxication until he spent every farthing. On Sunday
the chest ; medical assistance was sent for, but he gradu-

Mr. Malcolm,
a surgeon, said he had known deceased for some years,

dicted to drinking ardent spirits. On Sunday last he
was called in to attend him. He prescribed for him,
derangement his system had undergone

survive. Ile attributed death to pulmonary consumption,
brought on by habits of excessive drinking. Verdict in
accordance with the medical testimony.
THE EIGIITON MERDER.--TIVO PERSONS ARRESTED
ON SUSPICION.—On Wednesday last, at the Justice-
room, Goat Inn, Gateshead, before J. H. Williamson,
Esq., and J. A. Ramsay, Esq., the inquiry into this
mysterious affair was renewed, John Fleck and James
Jefferson were brought up at the instance of Mr. Ingo,
superintendent of police for the Bishop Aucland district,
charged on suspicion with having shot Thomas Robson,
on the night of the 10th of August. The prisoncefrserwtoeuerrie
apprehended on Monday evening in consequence of some
further evidence being obtained, contradicting their
statements made to the jury relative to the unfortunate
death of Robson ; and this day they appeared before the
Court, but no further evidence being offered against
them they were discharged. The Bench informed Fleck

MARKET NEWS. (YESTERDAY.)
CORN—EXCHANGE.
The show of English Wheat was tolerably good, both
as to supply and quality. As but few buyers were in
attendance, the demand for that article was excessively
heavy, at barely Monday's quotations. Foreign Wheat,
the supply of which was good, met a dull sale, and prices
had a downward tendency. For all kinds of Barley the
inquiry was inactive, and the rates were barely sup-
ported. The supply of Malt was good, while the de-
mand was in a very depressed state, at late currencies.
Oats, Beans, and Peas, were quite as dear.

SMITHFIELD.
In our market the supply of Beasts, in-which was em-
braced sixty oxen and cows from Rotterdam, and 160
Scots from Scotland, was but very moderate for the time
of year, yet the Beef trade was in a sluggish state, at
barely Monday's prices. For sheep, the numbers• of
which were small, the demand was steady, at fully pre-
vious rates. Although the supply of lambs was small,
the lamb trade was dull, at our quotations. Prime
small calves were held at full prices, but other qualities
were a dull sale. In pigs, next to nothing was doing.
Milch cows sold at from 161 to 191 lOs each, including
their small calf.
