POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Yesterday a wretched looking
woman named Louisa Sherwin, was brought up for
examination, under the following circumstances :
She had been charged on suspicion of having stolen a
watch, the property of a man, in whose company she had
been a few nights before. The watch was found in Fen-
church-yard, and the prisoner was apprehended close to the
spot. At the watch-house she stated that she had just left
two starving children at home, and that she came out to
Icok for a bit of bread for them. She had, in fact, under
the craving of hunger, resolved upon issuing from her
room to prostitute herself for any trifle. She was addressed
by a man, and she owned that in her extremity she could
not resist the temptation of stealing his watch.
The constable, who had taken the key of her apartment,
and gone to the place where she directed, stated that he
never saw a greater scene of wretchedness than the filthy
room presented. The unfortunate woman's two famishing
children were lying upon the ground, and neither bed, nor
chair, nor stool, was to be seen, neither had the children
any covering upon them, except a piece of rag, in which
their afflicted parent had wrapped them.
The woman said that her husband, a labourinz man, bad
been confined in the Hospital for some time, and way in a
hopeless state, and that her efforts to support her children
were all in vain. She said that a few shillings would set
her up in the fruit line, and
Sir J. PERILING directed that she should be set up in
trade immediately, an order which the chief clerk obeyed
with the greatest alacrity.

GUILDHALL.-.—HOLTAWAY AND Co. AGAIN.—Mr.
Holtaway was again hastily summoned before Sir PETER
LAULIE, yesterday, to answer the complaint of a young
man named Peter Walker. The complainant stated, that
about the middle of May last, he advertised in a news-
paper for a situation as an assistant surveyor, to super-
intend buildings, &c., and on the next day received a letter
from Messrs. Holtaway, notifying that one department of
their establishment was devoted to supplying the Commer-
cial World with clerks, soliciting his favours if he should
have failed in any other effort to obtain employ, and an-
nouncing that within twenty-one days they had supplied
five gentlemen with such situations. He accordingly
called upon Messrs. Holtaway, and learning that they
knew of a place that would suit hint, he paid his 10s. 6d.
to be entered on their list, and was informed that a gentle•
man at Dublin, who was engaged upon a survey, wanted
an asaisi..a.a,t, but the salary would be only 2001. a year.
Complainant explained that he was not competent to make
pictures or drawings for publication ; he was bred a car-
penter and joiner, and his forte was snaking plans of stair-
ca‘ea and roofs, &c. He was told to bring some specimens
of his Lasil.:,ty in drawing, and delivered a number, twelve of
which (of the iath:e of 10/. in his estimation) he had never
been able to get back. A fortnight passed away without
getting a satisfactory answer from the Irish gentleman,
and complainant becoming impatient, Mr. Holtaway
offered to take him into his own service to take plans of
the houses and estates he was authorised to sell, at a value
of 104/. a year, to be paid monthly, provided he would de-
posit SOL
tisir PETER LAURIE asked the defendant who the Irish
gentleman ::as?—Defendant said he knew of no such man,
but he had frequent applications for assistants in the survey-
ing profession. Oh, yee, now he recollected the particular
application spoken of. It was from a Mr. Jassey, of Hope,
but the complainant's talents were such, that he could not
aspire to thEAlDatioll•
Sir prEgg, asked if it was true that he had found five
situations for clerks in the time sated ?--.Defendant said it
was true.
Sir PETER desired the names of some of tliern.—De-
fe.--.440 could not mention them without referring to his
book. _ . .

...,..._.
Sir PETER tzi.i him to attend to what the complainant
was stating, as it was ilia (sir P.'s) ietention to deal with
the case in a serious manner.
The complainant continued—Heborrowed elol. ill inonen
and got a bill for 20/., which he deposited with Mr. Hoita-
way, and was (.-irthwith sent to various places to make
plans of the premises. After the first fortnight, however,
he had no more employment of this description, and was
sent out with printed circular answers to advertisers in the
newspapers (similar to the one he had himself received), of
which he understood Mr. Holtaway had at one time six
hundred for delivery. After being employed in this way
for a week, in the course of which he repeatedly met his
friends, who joked, him about turning a twopenny postman,
he refused N carry out any more.
E.;i,r ;PETER asked whether he could tell from what occar,
red at the places of which he took plans, whether Mr.
floltaway had realty occasion for them, or whether it was
0/. ?—Complainant had some suspicion, but
;done merely to amuse him, that he might not be alarmed

sum, with Mterest, at the expiration of twelve months.

lost them. .

Complainant said Mr. Holtaway took the money as se-
carity, in place of making personal inquiry into his character.
Sir PETE it told the defendant he had heard he had been

prevent this complaint from being made. He dreaded,
above all things, exposure ; indeed he had reason to dread
it, for he would tell him advisedly, and as a Magistrate,
that he had been guilty of obtaining money under false
pretences.
Defendant said, he was sorry his Worship was of that
opinion. He was willing to satisfy every claim upon him.
He would return the 50/. and pay complainant the wages,
and he would return all the advances he had belonging to
others. He would solemnly promise this should be the last
complaint that should be made against him.
Sir PETER asked, if he would also promise never to be
guilty of extracting a deposit of this nature in the time to
come ?—Defendant assured him he should never hear of
another complaint against him. He solemnly made this
second promise also.—Sir Peter then allowed him to ar-
range with the complainant, intimating that he was going
to Cheltenham for a month, and that, when he returned,
he should make particular inquiry how Mr. Holtaway kept
his word. He had devoted a good deal of time to this case ;
but he conceived it had been, at least, as usefully employed
as it would have been in listening to charges against pick-
pockets ; and, if he had rendered the public any service, he
should feel amply repaid for his trouble.
A carter was fined ten shillings, for ill.treating a horse,
on Holborn-hill. The complaint was made by an Officer
of the Society for Preventing Cruelty to Animals.
A NOSTRUM OF SOME STANDlNO.—lmmediately that
Sir P. LAURIE had taken his seat, a paper was .put into
his hand, which he perused with great attention, and asked
if the person was present who was to make affidavit to the
contents of the paper. A very old man came forward and
announced himself as that individual.

Sir PHTEK—I cannot permit such an oath to be taken
before me. You mean to swear a nostrum is capable of
curing every person, even after they are discharged in-
curable from St. Bartholomew's Hospital, or any other
Hospital, s.nd that your wife was not only cured by its ap-
plication in 1788, after she had been given up at St. Bar-
tholomew's Hospital, but that she enjoyed uninterrupted
good health for 30 years after? She is, you say, now dead.
No Magistrate, I trust, will permit such an affidavit to be
taken.

Here an individual stepped forward, and made himself
known as the preparer of the nostrum. He said it had
been in his house for 150 years, and individually he had
done so much good with it, that a vast number of ladies
had well scolded him for not bringing it forward, and in
compliance with their entreaties, and for the public benefit,
he had at length determined to publish an affidavit.
Aa aged female appeared, who stated that she knew the
facts of the case.

Sir PETER desired them then to find out a Magistrate
less scrupulous than him, and dismissed the applicant.

BOW-STREET.—THE Doc IN OFFICE.-A few mi-
nutes after the Magistrates had taken their seats, a young
man, who gave his name William Lynch, was brought
before them, charged with being disorderly yesterday morn-
ing in St. Clement's watch-house.
Sir R. BIRNIIC-Well, Sir, what have you to say to this
charge ? Defendant—l was just taking leave of a friend,
having had a parting glass, and because I stepped a few
minutes was taken to the watch-house.

Sir R. ButxtE—lt doee not appear in me that that had
any thing to do with the charge of " rioting in the watch-
house. Defendant—l merely said, when there, that I
would complain to you of the conduct of the constable of
the night, for placing me in " durance vile" in company
with a huge mastiff. _ _

Sir R. illumE—A what? Defeudant—A large rough
dog, Sir._

11Ir. MINsHULL—Locked up with a dog? Defendant—
Yes, Sir; and, what was worse, when I complained of the
improper conduct, they replied, I ought to be satisfied,
as there were two of us—meaning two dogs I suppose, your
worship.
Mr. Mmuutr.—You are discharged ; but I shall in-
sist immediately on seeing the watch-house keeper, as I
shall have no mastiffs there.

The watchman said that the constable was so ill he could
not attend.

Mr..MINsnuLL-111 or well he must attend.

STISFECTED MURDEIt.-Oneof the persons who applied
at this office about a week since respecting the disappear-
ance of a Welch farmer, named Penny, who was suspected
of having been murdered, appeared again beforethe Magi*.
trates, to solicit the assistance of an officer, to make
further inquiries into the circumstances connected with
his absence.

On the morning previous to that on which Penny dis-
appeared, he received 2001. from a slaughterer in Islevkgate-
market, and that same night slept at the Golden Lion at
Hackney, from whence he departed, as was supposed for
Wales, shortly after nine o'clock on the following morning,
and has not since been seen or heard of save by a labourer
in the employ of a lady named Delamer, who happened to
mention the circumstance, and was on that account
believed to be capable of unravelling the mystery. Ruthven,
an officer of this office, however, who was directed to
inquire into the matter, found that there were no grounds
for suspecting the labourer, and therefore advised the par-
ties to remain tranquil for some little time longer, in the
expectation that Penny would return home. This has not
been the case, and there is but too much reason for sup-
posing that the unfortunate man came by an untimely end.
A drover, by whom he was accompanied, having stated
that on the night Penny stopped at the Golden Lion, he
slept at a neighbouring cottage, in which were two Irish-
men. In the course of the evening, he (the drover) re-
collected having mentioned something concerning his
master and the money he had about him, and on the fol-
lowing morning the Irishmen departed, and did not after-
wards return, although expected back.
The Magistrates directed Bishop, Ruthven being now in
Yorkshire, to render what assistance he could, and he de-
parted with the applicant.
HATTON-GARDEN.—CHARGE OF MURDER.—J.
Price, a powerful young man, having the appearance of a
working blacksmith, was lsrought up iu custody of this
office, by Davis, a Clerkenwell constable, and placed at the
bar before Mr. SergeanfSELLosr, charged with the murder
of an Irishman, named William White.
From the testimony of Thomas White, landlord of the
Carpenters' Arms, Bury-street, Goswell-street, it appeared
that upon his return home, about nine o'clock the preced-
ing night, he found the prisoner and the person now de-
ceased engaged in a fight in the skittle-ground. He at-
tempted to get near them to part them, but owing to the
great crowd he found it impossible to do so. They fought
two rounds after his return home ; at the conclusion of the
latter one, White fell backward, with the prisoner upon
him ; after which he never spoke. A surgeon was sent for
with all possible speed, who bled White, and by whose
advice that individual was taken to St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, where he expired about two o'clock yesterday
morning, from the blows received from the prisoner.
The quarrel between the parties originated in conse-
qu,ence of some altercation respecting the proper arrange-
ment of the nine pins.
Mr. Sergeant Settosr inquired if information of the
circumstances had been given to the Coroner ?—Davis re-
plied in the affirmative.
Mr. Sergeant SELLON then remanded the prisoner to a
future day, to abide the result of the Coroner's inquiry.
James Mullins, an Irishman of an extremely violent and
desperate character, was charged with an assault upon Jelin
Hoyle, a constable of Pancras.
About seven o'clock the night before, Mullins, armed
with a heavy bludgeon, was breaking the parlour windows
of Ne. 4, Burton-crescent, when several persons interfered
to restrain his violence, some of whom he made desperate
attempts upon, till at length one man, rushing in upon
him, succeeded in knocking him down, and taking the
bludgeon away from him ; after which, having recovered
himself, he ran off, and made good his escape.
Subsequently, about 10 o'clock, he again returned to
Burton-crescent, but armed with a large clasp knife, the
Wade of which was upwards of six inches long—and
Ces
now
attempted to stab every one who approached him. ri
of " Murder, murder," ran along the 'streets, the people
flying in all directions, when Hoyle came up, and wielding
his truncheon, endeavoured to take the defendant into
custody, but he made several desperate efforts at stabbing
the constable, till with a blow of the truncheon his hand
was disabled ; he then fled, surrounded by about fifty of
his countrymen, who covered his retreat, till he got clear
away. He was pursued, however, by several constables
and watchmen to his residence, at Compton-place, where
he was taken, concealed under a mattress and bed.
Taylor, a constable, now stated that he understood a
person was lying dangerously ill at the hospital, whom the
prisoner had stabbed with the knife; and a young man,
named Clarke, informed the Magistrate that the defendant
a few weeks ago killed a brother of his by a blew, which
be had it tlpe most unprovoked manner given him.
Mr. Rogeas desired Taylor to inquire whether any per-
son bad been injured, and in the mean time committed the
defendant to the New Prison for further examination on
Friday next.

MARYLEBONE,— George Orro, the driver of a Pad-
dington stage coach, belonging to Messrs. Salmon and
Bull, was charged with doing damage to the carriage of
James Wilson, Esq., M.P., for York, by wilful miscon-
duct in driving.
The defendant brought forward evidence to prove that
the complainant's coachman was driving much faster than
himself, and came so unexpectedly across him in the road,
that it was impossible to pull up in time.
The MA OISTR ATES considered the circumstance perfectly

accidental, and told Mr. Wilson if he thought otherwise he
could seek redress in a Court of law.

LAMBETH-STREET.—WoaKixo. or THE Poucr
SYSTEM.—Yesterday eleven unfortunate girls of the town
were placed at the Bar, by a watchman, named Wareham,
of Mile End Old Town, who appeared in a state of in-
toxication ; and, upon Mr. IfAnnwlcKE, the Magistrate,
inquiring into the nature of the charge against them, the
worthy guardian of the night was unable to explain farther
than that they were walking in the road.
Mr. HARIAVICIZE—I shall nut notice the charge against
them, but how happens it you receive money from the girls
to let them go? This the watchman denied.
The constable of the night stepped forward, and said, that
five shillings had been given to let a girl go out of custody,
by a gentleman, who lived in Aldgate.
One of the girls said that the watchman was paid a re-
gular weekly salary, by a man, named Jacobs, a notorious
brothel-keeper, in Bedford-street, Cenamercial-road. This
was also denied by the watchman.
Mr. HARDWICKIZ.—I will search into the conduct of this
watchman to the very core, and will write to the Trust
about this man immediately, and request that he may be
dismissed.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Yesterday Benß urn,
the pugilist, was brought before Sir G. FARRANT, the
sitting Magistrate, under a peace-warrant, charged with
threatening to annihilate a young man, the sou of the late
Mr. Bond, the late landlord of a public-house called the
Rising Sun, in Great Windmill-street, of which Burn
himself was once the host.

The complainant said that his father having recently
died, and his aunt (Mrs. Ua11) being at present in the ma-
nagement of the Rising Sun for the benefit of the family,
and some dispute having arisen amongst them about the
will of his deceased father, he (the complainant), as the
legal representative of his family; went a day or two age
to the house to make an inventory of the furniture, &c. on
the premises, and while doing so, Burn, who happened to
be in the place at the time, came up to him and threatened
to split his skull, and snake a " mummy of him, if he
didn't start (that is, quit the house) instantly," He came
off immediately to this office, and procured a peace-warrant
against Burn.
Burn having heard the complainant without .interrup-
tion to the enol, very coolly asked, " Have you done, Mr.
Bond?"_-" I have, Mr. Buru," responded Mr. Bond.
" Then, your Worship, (said Burn) I'll tell you how the
whole matter stands. This here chap, Mr. Bond, came
into the Rising Sun, what was my house once, as your
Worship knows, and I have a WO/. interest in it yet, and
he says as how he would take away a picture of mine,
what hangs up in the parlour, worth 100 guineas of any
man's money, and I told him as how.that he should not
touch the picture, your Worship, because it was my own
picture ; but as for saying that I would split his skull, or
anything of the kind, it is such ungenteel language, your
Worship, as I never uses to nobody."
Sir G. FARRANT—Is this picture that you value at 100
guineas, a picture of yourself, then ? Burn—Oh no, your
Worship, it is a picture of John Horne Tooke ; and when
I gave up the house to Mr. Bond's father, I would not let
this picture go with it, but always kept it as my own ; and
because I won't let this chap take it away with him, he
comes up here to your Worship, and gets a warrant against
me, as if I did any thing wrong.
Mm. Bond—lt's all false, your Worship. I was taking
an inventory of my father's property on the premises, when
Burn threatened to split my skull, and I know nothing
about any Horne Tooke.
Sir G. FARRANT-But Burn says, that Horne Tooke
belongs to him, and that you have no right to put him in
your inventory, or to take him away.
Burn—Yes, your worship, he does belong to me, and I
can bring the broker to prove that when I was giving up
the house to Mr. Bond's father, Horne Tooke was never
put into the inventory then, because I never would part
with him.

Mr. Bond—But your Worship, I know nothing about
Horne Tooke, and never said a word about him ; but Burn
said that he would split my skull, and that's what I brought
him here for, and not about Horne Tooke.
Sir G. FARRANT—Ay, but Burn says that if you let
Horne. Tooke alone, he does'nt wish to meddle with you.
Burn—Yes, your Worship, that's all I wants, for him
to let Horne Tooke alone ; for I won't have him touched.
I don't care, for ita nothing to me what Mr. Bond does in
the house, so be lets Horne Tooke alone.
Sir GEORGE—WeII, Mr. Bond, as you say yon have
nothing to do with Horne Tooke, I think the best way is
fsr you to let Horne To.)ke alone, and then Burn will let
you alone.
Mr. Bond—But, your Worship, I never heard or men-
tioned Horne Tooke's name in my life before to-day, and I
should like to know what he has to do with this warrant ?

Sir G. FARRANT—Ay, but you see it appears that
Horne Tooke is the cause of it all, and you must therefore
settle about him before the warrant can be settled. Do you
give up all claim upon Horne Tooke.
Mr. Bond—l don't want any claim to Horne Tooke,
your Worship; I don't know any thing about him, or how
Mr. Burn brought him into this business at all. I never
mentioned the man's name ; all I want is not to have my
head split.
Burn—Your Worship, I'll take Horne Tooke home
with me ; I'll take him away from the Rising Sun entirely
to-day, and then Mr. Bond may go look for him.

M;.' Bond—l don't want to look for him, or have any
thing to say to him.
Sir G. FARRANT-Then the best way is for you, Burn,
to remove Horne Tooke out of Mr. Bond's way, and let the
warrant stand over till be is gone.
This arrangement was agreed to, and the parties retired.
THAMES POLICE.--131c.s.mr.—A young and rather
pretty looking female, was brought before Mr. BROBERIT
for examination, charged with bigamy.
The prisoner married a man named Jones, at St. Ann's
Church in the East, in August, 1826, but did not cohabit
with him many days ; and in October, in the same year,
she was married again to a man named Hogg, at St. John
of Wapping church. These two marriages were proved
by several witnesses at a former examination ; but the pri-
soner having solemnly protested that the first marriage was
informal, inasmuch that she represeated herself as spinster,
when, in point offact, she was a widow, and when she
got to the threshold of the church door, she quitted her
husband, and had never cohabited with him, considering
' the marriage illegal, the Magistrate remanded her is
order to make some inquiries into her statement, which it
turned out was not in any point correct, therefore she was
brought up yesterday, and fully committed to Newgate for

SINIPLE REMEDY TO PURIFY WATER.-
It is not so generally known as it ought to be, that pow-
dered alum possesses the property of purifying water. A
large table spoonful of pulverised alum, sprinkled into a
hogshead of water, (the water stirred briskly round at the
time,) will, after the lapse of a few hours, by precipitating
to the bottom the impure particles, so purify it, that it
will be found to possess nearly all the freshness and clear-
ness of the finest spring, water. A pailful, containing four
gallons, may be purified by a single tea spoonful. This in-
formation is, obviously, not without its ♦alue in London.

We are requested to state, that the prosecu-
tions of MARY WHATRLY, at the late Stafford Assizes,
for setting fire to her dwelling-house, on two separate ec.
casions, with intent to defraud the County Fire•oflice,
were not instituted by that establishment, but at the
instance of the local magistrates, without consulting
the County Fire-office.

As a person was passing over a common near
Chesham, on Monday last, he observed a bird, which be
supposed to be a hawk, fly from a hedge and alight upon
the turf, when a water wagtail ran to meet it, and to his
great surprise appeared to give the hawk something from
its mouth. It is supposed that the bird mistaken for a
hawk was a young cuckoo, which had been reared by the
wagtail, it being a fact generally known that the cuckoo
seldom if ever hatches her own young, but deposits her
eggs in the nest of some other bird.—Buelts Gazette.

The salmon fishings in the Tay are conti-
nuing to be very successful. The extension of the open
time to the 14th of September will prove very beneficial
to the tacksmen, and make up to them for the deficiencies
of the three preceding unfortunate seasons. The great
proportion of the fish at present caught are grilses; salmon
are scarce, but what are taken are uncommonly large anti
fine fish, and bring fully the price we formerly mentioned ;
trout and grilses are fallen to sd. and 6d. per lb.—Edin-
buryit -Eveniny Courant.

Yesterday an Inquest was held at the Rose,
Bermondsey, on the remains of a man, name unkno vn,
which were found floating in the river near Mill-stairs.
The body was dreadfully mutilated, being without a head
and left leg. JOHN I.lEtamEv, a waterman, deposed, that
about 12 o'clock on Sunday, as he was pulling his wherry
near Mill .stairs, he observed something floating on the
water, which on being taken out, was discovered to be the
body of a man in a mutilated condition. The witness
added, that the corpse was tied up with rope yarns. A
surgeon, who was examined, stated it to be his opinion,
that the man whose corpse was found, as above described,
had died a natural death, and was afterwards dissected.
This being the whole of the evidence produced, a verdict
of " Fouad dead" was returned.

DUBLIN MARKETS.

(From the Dublin Mercantile Advertiser of Moodily.)

on Thursday last, but what was offered" for sale
being of an inferior description, a small reduction in
price was submitted to. The. market since that day
has remained steady without any alteration in former
quotations.

for Ashes for the last two weeks, but we have not
heard of any advance in prices.

demand; 40s. per cwt. (cash), or 41s. per cwt.
(credit). Some holders are demanding 6d. per cwt.
advance on the above prices.

tled state of the weather, the demand of Malt has
been considerably brisker during the last than for

heard of any sales higher than 295. per barrel.

duction on previous prices was submitted to : for
some prime lots as high as 60s. per cwt. was ob-
tained. The latter was rather dull of sale, but what
changed hands fully maintained our former quota-

prices, between 425. and 465. Bd. per cwt., accord-
