The members of the Carpenters Benevolent Institu-
tion, established for the relief of aged and infirm mem-
bers of the trade, met at Itadley's Hotel, Bridge-street,
Blackfriars, when, in the absence of Mr. Ewart, M.P.,
the President, Mr. Thomas Grissel, contractor, took the
chair. The Report expressed the congratulation of the
Committee on the improved prospects of the Charity,
and sated that, al, hough the number of annual sub-
scribers had considerably augmented, nevertheless the
number did not yet amount to one-fiftieth of those en-
gaged in the trade. The total funds now in the banker's
and treasurer's hands amounted to 1611.
Yesterday the number of visitors to the British
Museum was 21,339. On last Easter Monday there
were 18,342, making an increase yesterday of 2,907.
Among the recent arrival of foreign artists is that of.
M. Auguste Putt, chapel-master to the Grand Duke of
Oldenburgh, and Regius Pro!e
ssor of Music in the Uni-
versity of Copenhagen. He is a pupil of Dr. Spohr, and
brings letters from that eminent musician to members of
the profession in England, h,ghly commendatory i.f him.
M. Putt was selected in 1841 to conduct the great festi-
val of Salzburgh in honour of Mozart, which attracted
together the leading,.-nusicians from all parts of the Con-
tin'nt, and became one of the most perfect performances
on record.
A statement having gone forth to the public that some
inconvenience would be occasioned in the Dividend-
office of the Bank of England in conseqiience of a num•
ber of the clerks being required to give attendance at
the trial of Barber, Fletcher, and others, at the Old
Bailey, for forgery, it is as well to explain, to set the
public mind at rest, as the dividends are payable to-
morrow, that the places of all those who may be absent
will be supplied by efficient and competent parties.
The melancholy interest created by the awful conse-
quences of the late fire in Oxford-street continues. undi-
minished. Throughout the whole of yesterday crowds
of persons visited the ruins, and it was with consider-
able difficulty that the police, who were stationed out-
side the building, could induce the populace to move on,
so anxious were they to obtain a glimpse of the scene of
desolation.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

UNION II ALL.-(THIS DAY.)

Thomas PerciOal, a seaman, was brought up, charged
with conveying smuggled spirits from a vessel in the river.
The Excise officers being on the alert the preceding
afternoon observed a sailor lowering himself from the
bows of a vessel into a boat alongside. When he got
into the boat, the officers perceiving that he had a large
bladder apparently full of liquor underneath his jacket.
rowed their boat towards him with the intention of
seenring him. The prisoner, on seeing their object,
pulled away with all his might to escape his pursuers,
but, on finding they were gaining upon him, he jumped
out of his boat into the river and swam towards the
stairs. He, however, did not reach the stairs, but
contrived to get into another boat alengside a collier,
and jumped upon deck, at which time the officers secured
him, but it was then found that the prisoner had very
dexterously got rid of the bladder of spirits.
Mr. TnAILL said that it was fortunate for the prisoner
that the spirits were not fimnd in his possession, for if it
had been, a conviction must have folloiked. The evidence
against him being therefore incomplete he was entitled
to his discharge. The prisoner hitched up his trousers,
and seemed delighted to have escaped out of the clutches
of the law. _ _

Another sailor named Johnson was charged with con•
-eying smuggle c 1 tobacco. This defendant, however,
was not so fortunate as his fellow-prisoner.
Johnson, it appeared, was seen by Inspector Judge,
Thames police, walking along Tooley-street with some-
thing bulky underneath his jacket. When stopped and
examined 81bs. of tobacco were found in his possession.
The defendant, a stout-looking man, began to cry,
saying that the tobacco was given to him, and that he
was ignorant it was an offence to carry it along.
Mr. TRAILL fin: d the defendant 1001., and he was in-
formed that for any mitigation of the penalty he must
petition the Lords of the Treasury.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
George Garrett and James Dunford, a chandler's shop
keeper, living at No. 2, Little Chesterfleld-street, Mary-
lebone, were placed at the bar, the former charged with
robbing his employer, Mr. Thomas W. Jefferies, of No.
39, Old Compton-street, Soho, butcher, and the latter
with receiving the stolen property. -
It appeared that the prisoner Garrett was the pro-e-
-cutor's foreman, and such implicit trust was placed in
him that he was allowed to transact the money and con-
fidential part of the business. Latterly, however, Mr.
Jefferies's sister, who is residing with him as house-
keeper, suspected that Garrett was dishone3t, and hav-
ing placed herself on the watch, this morning
she saw the prisoner Dunford come to the shop
at an early hour with a basket, the shop-
boy having been sent out of the way by
Garrett on a trifling errand. Garrett then proceeded
to take pieces of meat, (one of them- half of a salted
round of beef) from different parts of the shop, which
he put into Dunford's basket, and he was, going away
with them when the police were called, and they were
both given into custody, on which Dunford offered to
give a sovereign to settle the matter.
The prosecutor said from what he had since ascer-
tained, he had every reason to believe that this system
had been carried on for upwards of twelve months. The
meat Dunford was carrying away was of the value of
about 14s. 6d. The prisoner was fully committed.

CLERKEN WELL.—(THIS DAY.)
Two dissipated looking young men, named Henry and
William Garden, were charged with the follov.ing out-
rageous induct.
A decent-leoking poor woman and her husband, re-
siding in Milfield-place, Stoke Newington, were return-
ing home about twelve o'clock last night along the
Loner-road. The wife caught held of her husband's
arm to lean upon it. He in sport shook her off, telling
her she had walked by herself all day, and must do so
then. At this moment the prisoners came up and made
use of the grossest and most offensive language towards
the couple. The complainant desired them to go away,
but they struck them, knocked the woman down, and
kicked her on the breast. The husband came to her
assistance, and him too the prisoners felled to the ground,
and treated him very roughly. Walker, 88 N, and several
civilians came up, and the prisoners were with much
difficulty secured.
Two gentlemen named Laing and Grontage, who wit-
nessed the occurrence, came forward and described the
prisoners' conduct as very brutal.
The complainant, when asked if he could account for
the conduct of the prisoners, said the only reason ho
could assign was that they entertained an old grudge
against him on account of his resisting them in an at-
tempt to rescue a prisoner from the police twelve months
ago.
The defence set up by the prisoners was that the male
complainant struck their father; but on investigating
this allegation Mr. C03.18E said that he believed it to
be altogether fictitious, and that it aggravated the
offence.
The prisoners were sentenced to pay a fine of 2/.
each, or a month's imprisonment in the House of Cor-
rection.

MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.)
Bridget APCann, a young woman, was placed at the
bar, charged with a series of aggravated assaults.
The evidence went to show that the prisoner lodged
with a Mrs. Atkins, No. 4, John-street, St. John's Wood,
and that she went into the latter's room yesterday even-
ing to pay part of her rent. Mrs. Atkins wanted the
whole of it, when the prisoner got very abusive, and
struck with great violence a young female who was
sewing there. Mrs. Spall (Mrs. Atkins mother) came
in to assist in ejecting the prisoner, when she was struck
in the mouth, and tumbled down stairs. A policeman
was sent for, and he, on taking her into custody, was
attacked in a very disgraceful and dangerous manner
by her, and was now suffering from the injuries received.
It was mentioned by Mr. Jones, the usher, that the '
prisoner had been once before the Magistrate, on suspi-
cion of having caused the death of her husband, in a
similar manner.
The prisoner admitted having been in this Court on
such a charge, but said she was belied, and that the case
was dismissed.
Mr. RAWLINSON said that it was very evident, from
the severity of her attack on the policeman, and her flip-
pant conduct before the Court, that she was a dangerous
woman, and not sufficiently aware of the violence of her
conduct. He should, therefore, endeavour to impress
the fact upon her. For the attack on each female she
was fined 305.,0r, in default of payment, six weeks in the
House of Correction ; and he was sorry that, for her
conduct to the policeman, he could only inflict the
penalty of 405., or one month there.—The female was
then removed.
John Turner, a young lad, was placed before Mr.
liawlinson, charged with having been drunk and an-
noying Charlotte Thompson.
The complainant said that some time since she had
been keeping company with the prisoner, and he yester-
day came to her sister's house, where she resides, forced
his way in, broke the kitchen door, and used the most
infamous language to her. He did the same last
Christmas. A policeman was called in, and he was
given in charge.
Police-constable 193 said he was bit in the hand, and
tripped up by the prisoner. He had great difficulty in
taking him to the station-house.
Mr. RAwLlNsoN—Well, Sir, this is a queer way of
making love to the girl. Why do you go after her at
all if she does not like you? I must fine you 20s.
Prisoner—l have no money.
Mr. RAWLINSON—Then you go to prison.

peared in evidence that the deceased was on Thursday
last employed to unload a barge of some mangel-wurzel.
The barge was moored off the market, ghost ten feet
from the shore, so that deceased had to carry his load
along a plank. As he was on the middle of the plank,
with a load on his shoulders, the barge was unexpectedly
set in motion by the swell of a steamer leaving the pier,

There are commercial advices from Singapore this
morning to the 18th January. Fine cotton goods wire
in demand, and sold well. Most woollens were dull of
sale, principally in consequence of the accounts that the
markets in China were not favourable. The exchange
on London was at 4.2, and bills much in demand. There
were 18 British vessels in the harbour, most of which
were likely to have cargoes. The Chinese at Singapore
had resolved to present Mr. Bonham a beautifully figured
umbrella for his kindness during the teriod he was
Governor of the Straits settlements. It was to be sent
home by an Englishman, who was about to leave the
island. The address (in Chinese,), which was agreed to
at the meeting referred to, concludes thus
• All the Chinese inhabitants of Singapore think on
your great virtues, and do exceedingly desire your
return. They therefore unanimously, and with
sincerity, respectfully offer you an umbrella, em-
broidered in superior silk, as a memorial
of your virtue, most fervently hoping your acceptance
of it, not indeed as a recompense, but as a small token
of the respect and attachment of us all, and as a proof
that we du not forget you."
The commercial accounts from the United States, re-
ceived this morning, possess but little interest. rons
New York we learn that the exports of cotton to Europe
had been very extensive. In anticipation of a large
shipment this year of timber, the trade was very brisk in.
all parts of British North America.
The Commissioners have rather increased their par'
chases to-day, and have paid for the first time par for
Consols. At the present time this is the.ruling rate.
