POLICE INTELLICIENCE.

LAMBETH-STREET.—John Brain, a watchman
belonging to the parish of St. Mary, Whitechapel, and
Anne his wife, were on Thursday last brought up on a
warrant, by Dalton, and placed at the bar, before M.
Wym, Esq. to answer a charge of assault preferred
against them by Janet ill'Pherson, a woman of the town.
On being sworn, Janet, who spoke in a broad Scotch
accent, commenced her accusation by saying, that the
watchman bad deluded her away from her own lodgings
in Limehouse, and sold her to a❑ old man, whom he and
his wife prevailed upon her to marry.
Mr. WTATT.—I don't see how he could well do that
without your consent. Janet—They got hold of me while
I was in a fit of intoxication : it was then I did it, and
they put me to bed to Mr. Cox, in one of their own rooms.
Mr. WYATT. —Who is Mr. Cox? Janet.—Why my
husband, Sir. He is gone away to sea. It was most
shameful to marry me to him : he is old enough to be my
grandfather.

Mr. Ws-Arr.—Were you drunk all the time of the court-
ship ? Janet, with due Scottish reservation, replied that
she would not take it upon herself to deny but she was.
Mr. WYATT.—What was you before this marriage took
place? Janet.—An unfortunate lady.
Mr. WYATT.—Or, in other words, a prostitute. Janet
did not deny the application of the term, but said that she
never took gentlemen to her private lodgings.
Mr. WYATT.—That certainly is a nice distinction. You
have since lodged at the house of this very faithful preserver
of the public morals ? Janet.—l did, Sir.

Mr. WY-Am—Well, he was not so particular. He hail
no objection to your bringing your paramours to his house,
and he knew of it, I suppose? Janet—To be sure he did.
Sir. He knew I got my living in the streets ; and when
the old gentleman, Mr. Cox, used to come to see me, he,
the watchman, used to bring in the gin and water. I paid
him 7s. a week, and because I could not pay him more,
Le beat me.

Mr. WvArr.—Lfe is a most accomplished scoundrel.
The virtues of the watchmen are coming to light every
day. Patti idge, what parish does this fellow belong to?
Partridge—To ours, Sir.
_ _

Mr. WvArr—Where is his beat? Partridge—He's
stationed on your's, Sir. He is your watchman.—(Loud
laughter.)
Mr. WyArr.,—We must get rid of him.
Mr. WYATT then discharged the complaint, telling Janet
dna if not satisfied with the punishment of the offender,
she might indict him at the sessions.

BRUNSWICK THEATRE.—The adjourned
Inquest on the bodies of blows Muss and Jafix WALL,
who died in the London Hospital, was resumed on Thurs-
day, before Mr. UN WIN, the Coroner, when the Jury, after
a patient investigation, returned the following verdict :
" Accidental Death by the fall of the Brunswick Theatre,
which was occasioned in consequence of hanging heavy
weights thereto; and the Jury are of opinion, that the
Proprietors are highly reprehensible in allowing such
weights to be so attached. And we find in each of the two
cases a deodand of Forty Shillings."
Considerable alarm was excited in this town
last week, by the report that several resurrection men had
visited it, and carried off some bodies which had been re-
cently interred. The truth, we believe, is, that individuals
of this class had been carrying on their depredations in the
west, and having been surprised on one occasion, were
obliged to decamp without their tools. Thus deprived of
their means of subsistence, they were endeavouring to col-
lect pecuniary assistance from the medical practitioners in
the towns through which they passed. One of the men,
on seeing the grave-digger employed in the church-yard,
asked him if he would sell a skull; and the former ex-
pressing his surprise at such a question, the fellow turned
away, reinvrking that " he seemed up to nothisg !" Suspi-
cions having been excited respecting two graves, they were
opened, but from neither had the bodies been exhumed.—

A TIGER KILLED BY APONY.-A circutn-
stance lately happened at A rnlietNt Island, which shows
that nil desperandum is a good rule in the most desperate
circumstances. A tiger breaking into a shed, in which a
colt and a pony were sheltered, killed the former. The
pony then attacked the tiger, awl pummelled him so
heartily with his heels about the head and ribs, that he
knocked out some of the monster's teeth, tad all his courage,
for he had just strength enough to crawl to a nullah hard
by, where he was found by the natives shortly afterwards,
as he appeared so much bruised that hecould hardly move.
They accordingly fell upon him and killed him with
bludgeons. Previous to this, five horses had been killed
near the spot.—London Weekly Review.

WINE MADE. FROM SAW-DUST.-A cor-
respondent writes us as follows :•—An ingenious engineer
at Cheniea, Bucke, whose head is ever at work for useful
discovery, and to whom many are indebted for his able
performances in his own profession, whilst superintend' nb
his sawyers cutting up some Quebec fir timber, was forcibly
struck with the sweet odour from the fresh saw-dust ; aid
resolved to try whether he could not snake a wholesome
extract from it, as well as he had from many other ingre-
dients, and as it is extracted from the birch tree, to form a
basis for a good home-nsade wine. After some small dif-
ficulty, adopting nearly the usual process of making other
wines, with the aid of moist sugar, he funned an extract,
which, though raw in the first place, was not very unpa-
latable. lie put it by in a stone jar, gently corked down,
and by some accident the whole affair slipped the memory
of him and his household for two years, when, on recently
looking to his other wines and stock of beer, he discovered
the lung-forgotten Lottle, and on tasting it, he was most
agreeably set-pried at finding it excellent ; and putting to
defiance the beet judges of most wines to guess what it Was
made from. Even hie " guile wife" thought it was raisin
wine of her own making, while others thought it tasted
like Madeira; and a medical gentleman considered it Its-
perior to mead urine. It was bottled off,
and in each bottle
was put one glass of brandy. The writer of this has tasted
it, and had hp no,t been told, could never have discovered
the ingredients from which it was made. It has a alight
and rather pleasing taste of the turpentiue, and by some
who drank it it operated as gentle diuretic ; which induces
a belief that whilst it was pleasant to drink it would be
benefic:al in gravelly complaints. This ingenious engineer
is making a more correct and scientific experiment of the
eime ingredients, and should it answer his expectaticans he
will make it public. The ingredient, car fruit as it may
be called, is easy to be 'premed, and cheap, and with
sugar and the brandy will riot reach the retail price of ale."
