POLICE INTELLIGENCE•

MANSION-HOUSE.—(Ints Div.)
The LORD MAYOR. was occupied this morning in the further
examination of Buchanan, Hull, Shave, and Smith, the four
men charged with the extensive robbery of Messrs. Phillipps and
Co. the lightermen.—Case remanded.

GUILDHALL.—(This ace.)
There were no less than 20 cases on the list for this morning,
the greater number of which were gone through before we left the
office, but nothing of the slightest interest transpired.

•
BOW-STREET.—(Tarts Day.)
James Frail was brought up on a charge of having obtained
money under false pretences from Mrs. Fords, who stated that
she resided at Somer's-town, and that the prisoner had represented
himself to her as a Bow-street patrol, and in consequence thereof
she entrusted him with the management of three indictments at
the last Session in Hicks's-hall, he having promised nut to charge
more than the expenceis out of pocket; but before he would under-
take to do any thing, be required the money in advance, and obtain-
ed from her 16s. which he said would be the eipence of three
Bench warrants that were necessary for the occasion, but it
turned out that instead of three be took out only one Bench war-
rant, which cost no more than Is.
Mr. Mttransit'. said, that if be had told her that he had paid
IMF. for the warrants previous to his receiving it from her, it
would be sufficient to establish the charge, but as the matter
stood he doubted if he would be warranted in holding him to bail ;
but as there ivere other charges of a similar nature against him,
he was remanded.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET--(Txte Da:.)
James Carlin, John Flan cry, and Patrick Nichols, three
athletic eons of St. Patrick, were charged with assaulting two
men named Cochrane and Clements, in Berwick-street last night.
Carlin wee fined 20s. for rescuing one of the prisoners from a
watchman " in the hurry of business," and committed for fourteen
days in default of payment. The others were ordered to find bail
for the assault.

MARYLEBONE.—(Txte DAT.)
Ann Sams was placed at the bar on 4 charge of drunkenness
and disorderly conduct.
Abraham Street, a watchman, staff that there was a row in
the Paddington-road on Saturday night, created by a great number
of young women, in which the prisoner acted the principal part.
Mr. RAWLIXSON—Did youeVer see this young woman before?
—No, Sir. Do you know any of the others 7--yes, I know se-
veral of them. How then does it happen that you fixed upon the
stranger, and let the old offenders go?---17 took her because she was
the most principal obstroporous one; and because I expected the
other watchmen who were present would take some of the others.
Did the other watehmin do so ?--No. That is a very extraor-
dinary thing; but, perhaps, you are aware that the watch-
men have particular reasons for letting old offenders at liberty?-'
I knew that.
The prisoner admitted the charge, but stated that it was her
first offence. After a suitable admonition, she was discharged.

!,t THEATRES,
~.-• DitURY LANE.
The Corned, Ot the Hitir at Law by George Colman, and, in-
deed, all the acknowledged dramas of that Saint—are distinguished
by a persevering breadth of humor and love of point, to which
nature—iruth—taste—and sentiment, are sacrified. When a joke
does notlie in his way, Mr. Colman can condescend to be natural ;
as in the instances of Job Thornberry and Zekiel Homespun, but
elect for nature, when she comes in direct collision with a jest—
(ntimatter how eseerable)—her scale is sure to kick the beam.
In consequence of this Operate infatuation for a piece of waggery,
the dramas of our fac.*tts licenser are nothing more than so many
Encycloptedieof-W*abridged into five acts, and baptized co..
medics. -14 ',Asir at Law is a notable instance of this truth.
In it M .. k.; Man has taken a character outrageously unnatural ;
1446 and o 06 scarcely comes even within the range of possibility, viz.
a c Unger converted by his attorney into a Lord. This ab-
et' , however, granted, the rest of the plot follows as a matter
of ,' se : the cheesemonger nobleman, his wife, and Co., talk
.11 ;"`.use, (" so like wit, 'twill serve the turn as well,") about
,'twinkling of bed-posts"—and such like luxuriant elegancies ; and
then, when,. their manufacturer has expended his vocabulary of
BillingsgiTt, the plot changes, the rightful heir is discovered,
the chee,setnonger dethroned, and the hero and heroine, by way of
verifying Lorti-Byron's aphorism, marry, and live very happy at
terwards-41iltu&;. in real life, from which this drama professes
to he taken; Wetter circumstance is by no means the necessary
conseqlence otthe former. And this is a Comedy ! This a corn-
aleitibtf of the same kind as Congreve's Double Dealer—Sheridan's
School for Scandal—Garrick's and Cibber's Clandestine Marriage,
•or even, Foots.* inimitable farces : however, we do not wish to be
severe, so shall pass by all further comment, except just to add,
that if the admirer of Doctor Pangloss will be good enough to
look into Madam D'Arblay's Camilla, he will there find in Doctor
Orkhorne--the pedantic tutor—the original of Mr. Colman's cha-
racter. Mais, merlons a nos moutons. The play was ably cast
on Saturday night ; Mr. Dowtok)eing the Lord Duberley—
Miss Kelly, the Cicely Hotnesiiiiii:'-'--Mr. Edwin the Zekiel, and
Mr. Hooper the Dick Dowlass of the evening. Of Dowton's per-
formance, we have merely to state that it combined his usual ex-
cellencies, " a host in themselves ;" and that Mr. liooper's Dick
Dowlass was highly creditable to his judgment and humor. Per-
haps it wanted spirit, but this young actor appeared to have
" good stuff" in him 1 so we will not complain, but hope, as we '
firmly anticipate, his eventual success. Harley's Doctor Pangloss
was inimitable ; the quotations went trippingly off his tongue,
as if forming part and parcel of lei!' intellect ; while Miss Kelly
in tieely Homespun, drew tears from about two dozen eyes in, the
*414 SUS ; *striking proof of ber pathos, when we consider
that that deportment of the theatre, titnially consists of dim lads
sentimental school girls. The how, we were glad to per-
ceive, was crowded. _ •
