POLICE MN' fELLIGENCE
(S 1 JRDAY.)
BO'a r-STREET.

A young man, nal avid John Ogilbie, was brought
up in custody of one of the City police, charged with
having obtained the s am of 51. 10s. and a gold watch,
with guard, &c. attached, value 381., from Mr. Fre-
derick Lewis Mielle vine, a foreign merchant, resid-
ing at 23, Hanover.: square, by means of threats and
menaces.
Mr. Hobler attend( xi as solicitor for the prosecution.
The prosecutor stated that he occupied chambers in
Throgmorton-street. On the 6th of October, about
eight o'clock in the evening, he was waiting in Tot-
tenham-court-road for an omnibus, when the prisoner
came up and addressed him ; and on his telling hint
that he was waiting• for an omnibus to Piccadilly, he
replied that there were none going that way, but added
there were plenty of cabs on the stand. Witness
thanked'him, and proceeded towards the cab stand,
followed by the prism ler, who, after making some obser-
vations about the weather, stated that he was also going
f to Piccadilly, on whic,'l witness offered him a seat in
his cab. Witness thers called a cab, and ordered the
driver to proceed to Piccadilly. When they got near
there, the prisoner put his hand in front of
witness's coat and attempted to unbutton it. Wit-
ness was very much alarmed, and told him that un-
less he desisted he would stop the vehicle. Prisoner
then toad him that he wanted his money, and that if
he did not instantly give it him he would take him to
the station-house. Witness told him he was a mon-
ster, and refused to comply with his demands, and
threatened to give him in charge, and called out to
the cab-driver to stop, upon which the prisoner put
his head out of the window, and told him to go to
the station-house, but witness insisted that the cab
should be stopped at once, upon which the driver
drew up nearly opposite Cambridge-house, when wit-
ness and the prisoner got out. The prisoner repeated
his threats, which so alarmed witness that he lost all
presence of mind and ran away, followed by the pri-
soner, who called on him to stop, which he did when
he got to Half-Moon-street, when the prisoner came
up to him and demanded 201. of him, and in order to
get rid of him, being much alarmed, witness took
from his purse 51. 105. in gold, being all the money
he had about him, and gave it to the prisoner, who im-
mediately said, " I must have your watch also." Wit-
ness then gave him his watch, guard-chain, &c., and
prisoner having got them, told witness to go
in an opposite direction from the place where they
had left the cab. Prisoner then ran off the other way,
and was out of sight in a moment, and he saw no
more of him until the 6th instant, when, as he was
walking near the Bank of England, the prisoner came
up and followed him to the Old Jewry, when he said,
" How do you do, Sir ? " Witness told him he knew
nothing of him, and desired him to go about his busi-
ness. The prisoner said, "It's all very well, I know
you," and followed witness to his chambers. Wit-
ness—it being post night, and the clerks all very busy
—was prevented from mentioning the circumstance
to them, and when he left the chambers the prisoner
was gone. He met the prisoner again on Friday,
near the Park, and, by the advice of his brother, gave
him into custody.
The prisoner was identified by the prosecutor's
brother, the porter at his chambers, and his son, as
having been seen by them lurking about there.
In answer to the charge, the prisoner denied having
seen the prosecutor until Tuesday week, when he ad-
dressed him, mistaking him for a person with whom
he had had a difference, and while so addressing him
he ran away. He denied the charge brought against
him.—He was remanded.
Two gentlemen were to-day placed at the bar
before Mr. Jardine, charged with having been found,
one at ten o'clock and the other at twelve the previous
night, committing nuisances in Trafalgar-square.
The policeman having proved the charge, the gen-
tlemen complained that there was no notice to warn
hem off, and ,that in the dark it was impossible for
strangers to be aware that they were doing wrong.
One of the gentlemen stated that he had only lately
come up from the country, and really was not aware
that he was doing wrong. It was so dark and wet
that he could not distinguish the square as a place
which ought to be kept particularly clean. He did
not deny having committed the act in question. He
complained that sufficient warning. was not given him
by the constable, who came up and ordered him in a
brutal manner to desist, and then at once took him off
to the station-house in Gardner's-lane, where he was
locked up for three hours in a cell more noisome and
damp than he could have believed it possible. The
stench was awful, and altogether he thought the
place was such a one as was calculated to breed a
pestilence, and one in which a human being ought
not to be placed. He was even refused the favour of
walking in the court adjoining the cell, although he
stated that he felt very sick ; and indeed, had it not
been for a gentleman who came to bail his fellow-
prisoner, he must have remained in that hole all
night, for his own family were residing at a distance,
and he could not think of disturbing them at that
hour of the night
Mr. JARDINE inquired at what hour the gentleman
had been bailed. The constable replied that both
gentlemen were bailed shortly after three.
Mr. JARDINE then addressed the defendants, and
said there was certainly a great deal of justice in what
was stated. No one could feel more than he (Mr.
Jardine) did that it was a great hardship that no suffi-
eiont notice was given in some way to warn gentle-
men of the penalty to which they subjected themselves
by committing such acts. The police were not to
blame for the part they took in the affair, for they re-
ceived orders, and were compelled to execute them.
The law subjected persons sailing any wall, &c., to a
penalty of 405., and the police were empowered to
take persons so offending into custody. In such a
place as Trafalgar-square there ought to be some
means taken by the Commissioners of Woods and
Forests to warn persons against offending in that lo-
cality, and he thought they were much to blame for
not adopting such means; for in the dark nights of
winter it was impossible for a stranger in London to
distinguish the square, and unless they surrounded
the place with policemen, to inform the public that
they must not commit nuisances there, it could not
be expected that they could be prevented from doing
so. The law was clear enough that they had ren-
dered themselves liable to a penalty ; but still, under
the circumstances, and considering the hardships
which they must have endured, he should not feel him-
self justified in inflicting any penalty in either case;
the gentlemen must, therefore, be discharged.
WANDS WORTH.
Mr. Peter Henson, a respectable looking young
man, who carries on the business of a builder and
house-decorator, in the Bridge-road, Battersea, sur-
rendered, upon his own recognisance of 501., to answer
a charge of stealing a copper and other articles, the
property of Mr. William Howie, a gentleman residing
at Fulham.
The case first came under the notice of Mr. Paynter,
the sitting magistrate, on Tuesday last, and on that
occasion it:was proved, in evidence, that the prisoner
had disposed of a copper and other property which were
in a house belonging to Mr. Howie, and which was
some time in the occupation of Dalmas, the murderer.
The prisoner, in his defence, asserted that Charlotte
Dalmas, the second daughter, had sold him the pro-
perty after her father absconded, and, that that person
might be produced, the case was remanded.
When the case was called on, Mr. Gilham an-
nounced that he was for the prosecution, and Mr.
Payne, of Battersea, said he appeared for the accused.
The court was densely crowded.
Mr. Howie stated that, in consequence of informa-
tion which he received from the police, he went on
Tuesday morning to the prisoner's residence, and
charged him with stealing a fence, a dresser, a side-
board, and a copper, from a house, a short distance
from his (the prisoner's). He acknowledged taking
the fence, which was then standing in his own garden.
He said that he was wrong in so doing, and asked
prosecutor's forgiveness. At that time he never men-
tioned Miss Dalmas's name, who was the daughter of
the former occupier, and who left the fixtures enume-
rated for the rent which was due.
Cross-examined—The fence alluded to formerly
parted Dalmas's premises from those of the late Mrs.
APFarlarie. This fence, although removed, was still
in my freehold.
Mr. PAYNTER—Then I am of opinion that this re-
moval of the fence from one part of the freehold to
another constitutes nothing more than a trespass.
Mr. Howie, in reply to other questions put to him
by the prisoner's solicitor, said he had appointed an
,ti,g,Aeye,ansrtet of
wheno
look after his property. He was not aware
that his agent had ever entrusted the prisoner with
empty
thefixtures housesxtu r
esbelongingere
taken to
awayhim, nor
fromwast h
hee
abuse.

Police-constable Daly, 137 V, said he knew the
prisoner. That in accompanying Mr. Howie to the
prisoner's house, the latter asked forgiveness of that
:3,,entleman for taking the fence, and said he would
make him any remuneration he wished. The prisoner
at that time never alluded to Miss Dalmas. He had
had no communication with that female since her
father was taken into custody, a few months since.
The prisoner was given into custody for stealing some
building materials, but the case was not proceeded
with.

IWilliam MParlane, a youth about 18, stated that
last October twelvemonth he was residing with his
r mother, who is since dead, in the adjoining house to
that occupied by Dalmas, and after Mrs. Dalmas had
given up possession, he went over the house out of
curiosity, and saw the copper there quite safe; next
morning, between eight and nine o'clock, on looking
over the fence into the wash-house, he saw that the
copper was gone. He mentioned the circumstance
to his mother and the Misses Dalmas, and they also
missed it.

Robert Brown, a general dealer, in 31ilman's-row,
Chelsea, proved that. about eight mouths since he
purchased a copper of the prisoner about the size of
the one alluded to, for which he gave him 7s. It was I
then lying in th© prisoner's own kitchen►

Charlotte Dalmas was next called as a witness ;
she had been previously sitting with her two other
sisters in a secluded part of the court, and when
she came forward to give evidence she excited
some curiosity. She stated that on leaving her father's
house, after he had absconded from Battersea, which
he did in consequence of his debts, she left in it a
copper, a sideboard, and a dresser, all of
which belonged to her father, but being in arrears
for rent they were left to satisfy it. Witness sold a
washing-stool, a clothes-horse, some knives, &c., to
the prisoner, but not the articles previously alluded
to. She had offered him the copper for sale, but the
sum he tendered was so little she refused to take it.
Mr. PAYNTEa observed that he thought this a clear
case of felony, but as it was necessary to have the
evidence of Mrs. Lee, the agent of the prosecutor,
to prove that the prisoner was not authorised to enter
the house, he should remand the case until Wednesday
next. He consented to take bail in 401. for the ap-
pearance of the prisoner on that day.
In the course of the examination of Charlotte
Dalmas, a question was put to her as to whether she
knew where her father was when he absconded.
Before the witness could answer, Caroline Dalmas
rose up, and throwing her arms about, exclaimed,
" So help me God ! my sisters knew not where my
father was, and if I never move off this ground,_l
was the only person entrusted by my father with
that knowledge."

BRITISH SEAMANSHIP ina STORM

BOULOGNE, Nov. 13.—Wt.. have had here for the last
four or five days a succession of tempests almost ithout
example for their duration and their fury. Happily
there have been no wrecks in our immediate neighbour-
hood, but I heard this morning that many fishing
vessels have been driven ashore, with a melancholy lows
of lives, below Etables, net far from the scene of the
loss of the Reliance and the Conqueror, a year or
two ago.
At Boulogne the sea has been frightful, and has
nearly destroyed the whole of the solid sea wall at the
hack of the Etablisiement erected in 1840. It is not,
however, with the purpose of communicating events un-
happily occurring too generally and too frequently to
excite much interest, and which, occurring out of eur
own island, have less than the common claim to atten-
tion ; it is not with this purpose that I write, but in order
to lay before the public in your columns the solution
of a problem of great importance, as I think, in the ad-
vancement of the science of navigation—particularly of
steam navigation.
At noon yesterday, when the tempest was at the
highest (the sea wall at the Etublissenient had just
fallen), I was on the Pont, taking leave of some friends
about to depart in the diligence for Calais, when I was
startled by a rush of some hundreds of persons, chiefly
sailors and fishermen, in the direction of the sea. This
was the more remarkable, as the rain was descending in
torrents at the time, and I concluded that some hapless
vessel had struck. Emerging from the shelter of the
Messagerie, I ran with the crowd, and soon ascertained
that the object attracting it was not a vessel ashore, but
a vessel in sight—an occasion of almost equal horror.
Indeed, both were regarded as involving the same cer-
tainty of destruction. Such was the intense interest
excited by the annottncement that, notwithstanding the
sheets of rain descending, more than 1,500 persons had
in the course of a few minutes—l might say a few
seconds—assembled on the Eastern Jetty, and the scene
which they witnessed was assuredly one to justify their
excitement. The approach to Boulogne harbour, as you
know, lies between two long jetties about 60 yards apart,
and extending between dangerous sand-banks, some 600
or 700 yards in the sea. These jetties run pretty nearly
north and south, and that nearest to the Calais side is
called the East Jetty ; the other the West Jetty. The
West Jetty is somewhat the longer, and has a lighthouse
at the seaward end of it.
As the wind yesterday blew south and by west (the
worst wind in the Channel, as all sailors know), the
Western Jetty was exposed to the whole rage of the sea
—such a sea as few have ever seen, and was, for the most
part, hidden by the waves that rolled over it. It served,
however, as a protection to the East Jetty. Within a
few mornots after " a vessel in sight" was announced
by the rafting of a flag, the Eastern Jetty was, as I have
said, covered with, at the very least, 1,500 persons.
The vessel that had an attraction so powerful appeared
to be just outside of the dangerous bar, not more than
100 yards from the end of the Western Jetty. She was
struggling hard, but struggling gallantly, against the
tide, the tempest, and the current of an awful sea, to
gain an offing to the westward before making the attempt
to enter the harbour. Though so near, the vessel could
not be distinguished with any approach to certainty
through the thick rain. However, the opinion of the
crowd decided at once upon the vessel and the com-
mander. "No other vessel but the Princess Maude,
no other captain but Captain Monger, would dare to
face Boulogne Bay to-day." The conjecture was cor-
rect ; it was the Princess Maude and the gallant com-
mander named. Whatever opinion, however, had been
formed of either ship or captain, the most painful
feelings of apprehension were excited by her sitea
tion for some time. It was long doubted whether
the great steam power of the vessel could win the offing
necessary to give her a free sweep in between the light-
house and the bar. " She will do it"—" It is impossible,"
ran from mouth to mouth in anxious whispers ; the pre•
vailing feeling was however, desponding. At length the
first great point was gained--the noble little vessel won
her way considerably westward of the lighthouse. Next
came a severer trial, to round into the harbour without
overshooting it, from the combined force of the storm,
tide and sea ; for to overshoot the harbour would be to
go directly ashore. Having secured his offing, Captain
Monger brought his vessel about ; and, to the amaze-
ment of the timid and unskilful, spread a broad extent
of canvas, under the tremendous gale, bearing down upon
the mouth of the harbour with a rapidity perfectly ter-
rific. As the vessel passed the lighthouse, almost every
heart sunk under the impression that nothing could
cheek or divert her direct progress to the sands. A stifled
moan was heard through the crowd, when, as if by magic,
the sails dropped instantly, the vessel changed her course
full 90 degrees, and then shot up the harbour at the rate
of at least 15 miles an hour. The enthusiasm of the
spectators found expression in a loud cheer, which was
again and again repeated. The most striking circum-
stance in the whole of this magnificent scene, was the
total absence of everything that could be called accident,
either favourable or unfavourable. All was obviously
the necessary result of means coolly and accurately cal-
culated, and applied with the characteristic skill and
courage of a British seaman. Captain Monger knew
what his vessel could do, and he did not scruple to risk
the proof. Some naval officers of high rank and of great
experience, who witnessed the scene, do not scruple to
acknowledge that they for a time anticipated a very dif-
ferent result, and to confess, that no vessel of the old
construction, whether sailing vessel or steam vessel,
could have accomplished what the Princess Maude accom-
plished yesterday. No sailing vessel or old-fashioned
steam-vessel could have gained her offing against such
difficulties, as no vessel less sharp than the new iron
steamer could have been made to obey the helm with
such miraculous promptitude. This seemed to solve the
problem as to the best quality of steam-vessels, at least
of the smaller size. The sharp iron steamers are ma-
nifestly the best. In the hands of such a man as Cap-
tain Monger a sharp iron steamer is, in the very worst
weather,-perfectly safe—far safer than a London wherry
is in the best weather.—Correspondent of a Morning
Contemporary.

EXTENSIVE FIRE.
On Saturday morning one of the most extensive
and destructive fires with which the west-end of the
town has fur some years past been visited broke out
on the premises of Messrs. Horne, Thompson, and
Holland, coach and carriage manufacturers, No. 254,
Oxford-street. The premises in question are situated
on the south side of Oxford-street, between North
Audley-street and Park-street, and are very exten-
sive and capacious, extending backwards into North-
row, which runs from Park-lane into Queen-street pa-
rallel with Oxford-street, and on the south side of
North-row. Nos. 25 and 26 were a continuation ofd the
premises, which were used as the factory and work-
shops, and extended nearly to the backs of the houses
in Green-street, Grosvenor-square. The fire was
first discovered about four o'clock by a groom who
was sleeping in the apartments of Mr. Gooch, the
foreman at the factory, to which they are attached,
who, accidentally awaking, was surprised at seeing
a bright light shining in at the window, and on get-
ting up to ascertain the cause, found that the factory
was on fire. The flames appeared to him to be at
that time raging in the southern end of the factory,
nearest to Green-street, and were rapidly extending
themselves along the carpenters' benches on both sides
of the workshop on the first floor. He immediately
alarmed Mr. Gooch, who rang the large factory bell,
which speedily alarmed the whole neighbourhood,
and aroused the inhabitants from their slumbers, who
instantly began hurrying to the spot, while the police
were busily engaged in dispatching messengers
for the engines and in assisting in the re-
moval and protection of whatever property
could be saved from the burning premises. Twenty-two
carriages, valued at between 6,0001. and 7,0001., were,
by extraordinary exertions, rescued from the flames,
which had by that time spread themselves nearly over
the whole of the spacious building. The heat and
smoke was so intense, that all endeavours to save any
thing farther was considered both dangerous and fruit-
less. The engines which reached the scene of confla-
gration were those of the Baker-street station of the
brigade, and two belonging to the parish of St.
George, Hanover-square, and the brigade engine from
the station in King-street, Regent-street, which was
accompanied by Mr. Togo, the foreman of the western
district, all of which were immediately got into ope-
ration. Shortly before five o'clock the roofs began
falling in, and the flames being acted on by the strong
south-westerly wind, which blew at the time, were
carried over the top of the blank wall in
Brown's-place to the houses on the opposite side, se-
veral of which immediately took fire, and there ap-
peared at that moment every probability that the
whole of the immediate neighbourhood would fall a
prey to the destructive element. The firemen, how-
ever, redoubled their efforts, and the flames were by
six o'clock sufficiently subdued to allay all fears of
extending further, although some of the engines
were continued in operation during the whole of the
day in cooling the ruins.
The whole of the factory is destroyed, with nearly
all its valuable contents, amongst which were a num-
ber of magnificent carriages, the property of noble-
men and gentlemen, with large quantities of valuable
materials and tools of every description, the value of
which cannot be at present ascertained. Messrs.
Horne, Thompson, and Holland, anticipate their loss
will amount to between 20,0001. and 30,0001., a por-
tion of which only is, we regret to say, covered by
an insurance in the Royal Exchange Fire Office. The
premises are the property of Thomas Williams, Esq.,
of Cowley-grove, near Uxbridge, by whom they are
also insured in the same office. The premises belong-
ing to the firm on the north side of the North-row
are also extensively scorched and damaged by the fire,
but not to any great extent.
In Brown's-place, the houses Nos. 1,2, 3,4, and
5, the whole of which, with the exception of No. 5, in
the occupation of Mr. J. Palmer, were let out in
lodgings, are greatly damaged by fire and water, and
the furniture by removal.
The houses at the rear in Green-street have also
sustained some damage, more particularly No. 9, in
the occupation of Miss Ashton Smith, and No. 13,
occupied by Mr. W. Willan, through which the hose
of the engines were carried.
Nothing has yet been correctly ascertained as to
the origin of the fire, which is, however, believed to
hare been purely accidental.

SECOND BURGLARY AT MR. WILLIAMS'S, AND CAP.
TURE OF ONE or THE BURGLARS.—Some alarm was
occasioned during the latter part of last week amongst
the inhabitants of Clerkenwell, in consequence of the
premises of Mr. Williams, soap-manufacturer, of
Compton-street, having been burglariously entered a
second time. About nine years since several daring
housebreakers obtained a forcible entry into Mr. Wil-
liams's premises, and were encountered by Mr. Shep-
pard, his clerk, who slept in the counting-house, and
who was inhumanly murdered by the villains. Every
endeavour at the time was resorted to to trace the re-
treat of the murderers without success, and they have
eluded the vigilance of the police up to the present time.
From the period of the commission of the deed no per-
son has slept in the counting-house, but greater means
for securing the property deposited in it were adopted
by Mr. Williams, whose residence is apart from his place of
business. On Wednesday morning, however, it was dis-
covered by one of the workmen that the counting-house
had been again burglariously entered, and that the
clerk's desk had been rifled of its contents. Information
was immediately forwarded to the police, and Inspector
Barton and Sergeant Archer, of the G division, minutely
examined the premises, and ascertained that the
burglars had broken open the desks and removed the
keys deposited in them, and had cut out one of the
panels of the wainscoting, behind which was an iron
safe containing from 2,0001. to 3,0001. The lock of the
safe they ineffectually attempted to force open ; and, at
length, left the premises, taking with them two coats
and other trifling articles. Barton and Archer, after
most praiseworthy exertions, have succeeded in tracing
out and apprehending one of the burglars, named James
Stirling, at No. 1, Providence-place, Bishopsgate. They
found at his lodgings a pair of' boots covered with soap-
ash and of peculiar shape, corresponding with the foot-
marks in Mr. Williams's yard. There were evidently
three burglars concerned in the robbery, but the others
have hitherto escaped detection.
