POLICE REPORTS.

GUlLDHALL.—Yesterday Robert lib* was charged with pil.
fering the till of his employer, Mr. Cotterell, oilman, Milk-street,
Cheapside.
Mr. Cotterell stated that the prisoner bad been in his employ as
shoruan for about three months past ; he had suspicions that more
money went into the till than the prisoner rendered him any account
of. He prevailed upon a friend of his to mark a quantity of silver,
which was subsequently paid at the shop for goods, and the result
fully justified the opinion he entertained of the young man.
Mr. Henry Holt stated that between one and two o'clock on Sa-
turday afternoon he went to the shop, when it was understood Mr.
Cotterell would be at dinner. He purchased some articles, which
amounted to the value of 3s. 9d. and gave four marked shillings,
receiving threepence change.
Mr. Cotterell returned in half an hour, and on examining the till
found only 18.6 d. in it. He immediately sent for an officer, who
demanded the surrender of what money the prisoner had about him.
The young man, after some hesitation, gave up 2s. and a 6d.
The prisoner was remanded until to-morrow.
Samuel Hunt, carman to a fanner named Boards, wu charged
with stealing two bushels of corn from the granary at the Saracen's
dead Inn, SnowhilL—He was remanded.
BOW-STREZT.—Yesterday, Mary Ann Pearce, the unfortu-
nate female who is well known to our readers and the public ge.
neraily, as Lady Barrymore, was brought before Sir R. Blaine,
and Mr. HALLS, charged with having been drunk and disorderly in
the streets.

The unfortunate being, whose clothes were covered with mud and
filth, was quite sober and collected, and treated the Slagisirates
with every possible respect. She had, it appeared, been liberated
from an incarceration of some months duration on Thursday last,
and had every night since obtained shelter from the inclemency of
the weather in the watch-house, to which she had been conveyed,
however, in consequence of having been found rolling in some ken-
nel or another.

The Magistrates consulted ; and at length ordered her to be locked
up until they:should have made up:their minds as to how they should
best dispose of her.
A man, charged with being concerned In the robbery committed
upon Lord hiaryborough, underwent &short examination in private,
but neither the name of the accused, nor the nature of the evidence
upon which he is detained transpired.
QUEEW-SQUAllE.—Gtorge Grown, a man between 60 and 70
years of age, was charged with attempting to cut the throat of Susan
Taylor, his wife's sister.
It appeared that the prisoner lived at No. 9, Green Coal-terrace,
Tothill-fields. On Saturday evening, about ten minutes before
eight o'clock, the lodgers in the house were alarmed by the cries of
a female, and on proceeding to the prisoner's apartment the unfor.
tunate woman was discovered on the ground, with a wound in her
throat, and her hands and arms cut in a most severe manner, sup.
posed to have been occasioned by her struggles to prevent the
prisoner, who was standing over her, from effecting his dreadful
purpose.
111 r. Painter, surgeon, of Westminster, said the woman was most
dangerously wounded.
The prisoner was remanded.
It was stated that the prisoner had attempted to murder the wo.
man because she was on the point of being married without his
consent. _ - _ -

LaxErru.svaEzT.—Yesterday Mr. Parlour, the Superintend-
ant of K. division of New Police, waited on the sitting Magistrate,
J. Hardwick, Esq by the direction of the Commissioners of Police,
to ascertain his opinion as to the di.position of property taken on
suspicious characters by their constables.
Mr. Hartriwrcr remarked that there could not be the slightest
objection to allow such p= as the New Police stopped remain-
ing in the hands of their as required, provided there was an
agreement entered into between Messrs. Venables and Rea, that the
latter would pay the former the surplus of their value.
Robert Langley was committed for three months to the House of
Correction, for robbing s simple Scotch lad of 10s.
THANZS Potics.—Yesterday, James IW•Carthy, who was ea
quitted at the last Old Bailey Sessions, charged with robbing and
brutally ill-using a sailor on the highway, was charged with threat.
ening the life of Wheeler, a police sergeant of the IL division, and
attempting to stab him with a knife. Since his acquittal. he had
continually annoyed Wheeler for the evidence he had given upon
the trial, and had influenced the minds of the low Irish against him.
Wheeler was met by a number of Irishmen, who accused him of
trying to swear away 31`Carthy's life, and threw mud at him. The
prisoner made s thrust at Wheeler, which was parried by another
police constable. or the consequences might have been serious.
Mr. BROD•RIP ordered him to End good bail to keep the peace
in tVtute, and in default he was sent to prison.

It is stated in a letter from Paris, that, in consequence
of the total failure of the crops of Cobbett's corn in the vicinity
of the French capital last season, very few experiments of the kind
will be tried this year. A fanner near Rouen is said to have lost
15,000 fr. by his speculations in this way.—Litersny Gazette.
A NOBLE PRIG.--The Duke de Charolois, a Prince
of the Blood, meeting the Duke of Brisac at the boon of a lady to
whom they were both attached, and stung by jeslousy, forgot him-
self so tar as to say rudely, "Go out, Brisse." " lour ancestors,
Monseigneur," replied the French chevalier, "would have said,
Conic out." The same striking originality attended tae minutia of
Brisac's private life. He sera would permit his valet to shave
him, and when he took the razor in his hand at the toilette. he was
often heard to repeat the following soliloquy :—" Tinioleon de
Cease, (ion has made thee a gentleman, and the King has made
thee a Duke. It is, nevertheless, right and St that thou shouldst
see something to do; therefore, thou shalt shave thyself."

On Sunday evening, a disgraceful scene of riot took
place in the church-yard of St. Mary, Newington. A few days ago,
an Irish labourer, who resided in the parish of St. Georges, South-
wark, died, and his Mends engaged a spot in the above church-yard
to lay his mortal remains; and three o'clock on Sunday aftcrnoor.
was the time appointed by the minister of the parish for the per-
formance of the funeral service. The Rev. Mr. Onslow, the rector,
waited until six o'clock, but it did not arrive • and then the Rev.
Gentleman despatched the beadle, to apprise the family of the de.
ceased that the clergyman was gone, and the funeral could not take
place until the following morning. The beadle met the funeral on
the road, and communicated his message to the undertaker. The
bearers of the coffin set up a howl, declaring that the body should be
then borne to the church-yard, and committed to the earth by them.
selves, without the burial service being read over it. On their arrival
at the church, the sexton informed them that the coffin might be de-
posited In the church until the morning. The church-yard gate
was thrown open, for the purpose of their passing up into the church.
No sooner, however, were the bearers inside the gates, than they
placed down the coffin, and throwing their mourning cloaks aside,
they jumped over the pailings into the burial ground. Finding
that the grave was filled up again, they procured a couple of spades
out of the tool.house, and commenced digging the grave afresh.
The sexton remonstrated with them, when Patrick Donovan, On o•
the self-appointed gravediggers, jumped out of the grave, and, aim.
ing a blow at the sexton with the spade, exclaimed, " There, tak,
that, bad luck to you !" The sexton escaped the intended blow.
and ran across the burial ground, pursued by Donovan. Upward:
of three hundred persons were in the churchyard, many of whom
were in a state of intoxication. Their lamentations and wailing+
over the corpse were to he beard at a considerable distance off', and
they continued to howl In a manner that terrified those who were
unaccustomed to witness such strange proceedings, when a strong
body of the letter L. division of the police, headed by Mr. Super-
intendent Dowling, arrived on the spot. The moment so formidable

yard ;one impulse seemed to direct mourners, gravediggers, and all,
for in the space of five minutes the whole place was cleared, and
many, in order to make a more hasty retreat, scrambled over the
walls; and the coffin, which was left to its fate, was afterwards
borne:into the body of the church by the policemen. Donovan was
secured, and taken to the station, from whence he was conveyed yes-
terday morning before the magistrates at Union Hall, and was bound
over to appear at the sessions to answer the charge.
An accident of a very distressing nature, and which
has excited a deep interest in this city, where the unfortunate suf.
ferns resided, and are extensively connected, occurred on Monday,
near Roseneath. Dr. Chrystal, Rector of the Grammar School of
this, city, being on a visit to his daughter and son.in-law, who are
in Helansburgh, went out from that place on Monday, at 12 o'clock.

spot—a work of considerable labour, from the state of the wind—
and found two oars, three hats, and two bonnets. On farther scare
they discovered a body, which with great difficulty, they got into
