THE ROUTE TO SUEZ.

A few days ago we saw in a Contempora-y a para-
graph, in woich the land journey from Alexandria to
Suez wrs described as most uncomfortable, in conse-
quence of the bad condition of the horses and carriages
employed. It would seem, however, that the writer
had drawn upon his imagination for his facts, because
the Marquis of Tweedda e, no brd judge of such mat-
ters, gives quite a different version of the story in the
lei;ier of which we subjoin a copy :
" Suez, Aug. 22, 1842.

" SIR-I can have no hesitation in saying that I
have been very well served in travell'ng the Desert,
both in regard to transport as well as lodgings. The
carriage end horses were of the best kind for the De-
sert, the carriage being easy, and the horses goOd, and
very ste:dily driven by Mr. Hill.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 1
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-HO USE.
A young man, named John Wilson, one of those
scheming vagabonds with whom the Metropolis
abounds, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged
with having defrauded Mr. Tanner, upholsterer, of
the Minories, a tradesman of great simplicity of cha-
racter, of furniture and money. From the com-
plainant's statement, it appeared that the prisoner
called upon him and introduced himself as a military
tailor, who was making clothes for Captain Clarke,
a gentleman of fortune, and that the Captain was
anxious to have a chest of drawers, and a stand, and
as he was a very particular man, it would be neces-
sary to be punctual as well as particular as to the
preparation of the pieces of furniture. The com-
plainant undertook to make the articles, although
Captain Clarke never called to make any selection,
being satisfied with the pattern exhibited by the pri-
soner, who desired that the drawers should be sent as
soon as possible, to a court near Lincoln's Inn•fields.
The complainant managed to get the drawers ready
at the Lime appointed, and took them to the address,
but no person of the name of Wilson was to be found
anywhere in the neighbourhood. Atter having
waited at the place between two and three hours, the
complainant and his porter roturned home. The pri-
soner soon afterwards call2d, and said he had made a
mistake about his address, which really was at No.
6, Bear-yard, Lincoln's Inn-fields, to which the
drawers must be speedily sent, as Captain Clarke
was very angry at the delay. Next morning the
complainant sent two boys with the drawers in a
truck to the new address, and told his porter to follow
them to see that the drawers were delivered with pro-

per caution. They were accordingly delivered to the
prisoner, who subsequently called at the complainant's
shop, and not only procured the stand but eight shil-
lings to pay for what were called " fittings out." The
prisoner had neitl-er paid for the articles nor returned
them.

The LORD MAYOR—I suppose Captain Clarke did
not call to pay for the goods ? Complainant—N o•
I never saw Captain Clarke at all.—(Laughter.) I
was convinced the Captain had the articles, for the
prisoner told me he was making military clothes for
the Captain.
The LORD MAYOR—I suppose you would not have
put the drawers into the possession of the prisoner, if
he had not conjured up this Captain Clarke as the
purchaser ? Complainant—No ; Certainly not.
The complainant then stated that he heard no more
of his drawers or stand until some clays atter, as he was
walking along the Strand, what should he behold at
the door of a shop but the identical new drawers he
had made for Captain Clarke.—(Laughter.) Well,
he was surprised ' • and upon going inside to speric to
the shopkeeper, what should he see but his new st ,nd,
which he thought was safe along with the drawers in
the custody of Captain Clarke.—(Laughter.) So he
asked the shopkeeper of whom the things had been
purchased, and the answer convinced him that the per-
son who had sold them was the prisoner and not Capt.
Clarke.—(Great laughter.)
Mr. Flower, who attended for the prisoner, asked

the complainant whether it was not the fact that he
gave the prisoner a fortnight to pay the amount of the
bill ?—The complainant, who spoke all through the
examination of Captain Clarke as if he believed the
Captain was nct a creature of the prisoner's imagina-
tion, said the prisoner told him the moment the regi-
mentals were paid for, which would be in a week, the
money should be forthcoming.
Mr. Flower submitted that, although there was
evidently sinister dealing upon the part of the pri-
soner, yet the case was clearly one of credit.
The LORD MAYOR said he would not allow a fellow
like the prisoner to slip through his hands, because a
poor tradesman happened to be credulous.
Hawkins, the porter employed by the complainant
to follow the boy who conveyed the drawers to the
prisoner's residence in Bear• lane, said that when he
observed the prisoner had no shop he mentioned his
surprise at the fact, upon which the prisoner said t
did his business, of which he' had a great deal, in
private way.—(Laughter.)
The Loup MAYOR—Did your master say any-
thing to you about the payment for the drawers ?
Hawkins—No not a word. The prisoner took the
drawers into the house, and shut the door.—(Laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR—Complainant, to whom did you
look for payment ? Complainant—l expected to re-
-1 ceive the money through the prisoner's hands from
' Capt. Clarke.—(Laughter.) I have since ascertained
that the prisoner is not a tailor at all, but a cabinet-
maker, so that he never received any order to make
regimentals for Capt. Clarke at all.—(Laughter.)
Mr. Priest, of No. 370, Strand, stated that the pri-
soner, whom he had seen frequently pass his shop, and
whom he believed to be a cabinet-maker, called upon
him about a week before they had any dealings together,
and asked him whether he purchased drawers, stating
to him at the same time, that he had a chest at No. 6,
Bear-lane, and wished him to call and look at it.
`Witness, who never for a moment suspected the inte-
grity of the prisoner, called after another application,
and saw the drawers and stand, and offered 51. for
them, which the prisoner rccepted.
The complainant said the money he was to have
received from Capt. Clarke was 61. 12s. for the articles.
The LORD MAYOR said there was not the slightest
imputation against Mr. Priest; but the prisoner was
evidently one of the swindlers who very ingeniously
marked the distinctions between a robbery and a
roguish debt. His Lordship wished to know whe-
ther the young gentleman at the bar wished to say
anythiler?
Mr. }lower—No, my Lord; he hes no desire to
say any thing.
The LORD MAYOR—We will see what a Jury will
say to the case. I think there is matter for a Jury.
Mr. Hobler—The question is whether he has not
obtained the goods and the 'money under false pre-
tences. He creates this Captain Clarke, and upon
that foundation he builds all the rest.
Mr. Flower—After all, he tells a mere lie, and
and through that lie he gains credit. That is done
every day. Ido not at all attempt to deny or ques-
tion the criminality of his conduct; but to send him
for trial will be only to put the county to needless
expense.
The LORD MAYOR thought the experiment by no
means an improper or an extravagant one; and he
should hold the prisoner to bail in the sum of 1001.
and oblige him to find two sureties for 501. each, to
appear at the Central Criminal Court.
Prisoner—Mv Lord, I shall be able to get the mo-
ney to pay Mr. Turner.
The LORD MAYOR--YOU must give me 24 hours
notice of bail.
Prisoner—Please your Lordship, I shall be able to
pay the gentleman before Monday the money I owe
him.
The LORD MAYOR—You must get him the price
of the articles you got possession of. I dare say
you will be able to get the money from Captain
-Clarke without taking home the regimentals to him.
—(Laughter.)
The prisoner was then sent back to prison.
BO W-STREET.

Margaret Angus, Alexander Johnson, and Hugh
Steele, were placed at the bar on the charge of stealing
eight Si. notes, the property of Thomas Fairweather.
Mr. Robinson, the attomey, conducted the pro-
secutior.
Thomas Fairweather deposed that he was a purser
in the Navy, and lived at Market Weightor,
Yorkshire. On the 20th of August last he was
lodging at Miss Shepherd's, No. 7, Arundel-street,
Strand, where the female prisoner was a servant.
On the 19th of August he placed eight 51. notes
in a portmanteau in his bedroom, leaving
the key in the room. The female prisoner saw him
d)u n t °lr thatt the
bi
eposit the notes in his portmanteau. On the morn-
ing 21st,

Miss Itobina Sheppard, No. 7, Arundel-street,
deposed that the ;O.nale prisoner entered her service
on the 6th August. S'..o stated to witness at
at next a three o'clock

wiih two men named Johnson and Steele ; and that

went out, and witness saw her speaking to 'the two
other prisoners. On the 20th August she asked to go
out again for a few minutes to buy a collar. Wit-
ness gave her permission to go, and she never returned.
She had previously stated to witness that she had no
money whatever.
Sarah , Hudson kept a coffee-shop at 54, Fore-
street, Limehoese. The prisoners, Johnson and Steele,
lodged with witness in the early part of August. On
the 20th August the female prisoner came to witness's
house. She esked witness to go and buy a bonnet
and cap for her. Witness did so, and in payment
for them she tendered a Si. milt. Witness went
to another shop with her, where she changed another
Si. note.
William White, shopman to Cornelius Helginius
Tambs, of Shadwell, proved that on the evening of
the 20th of August, the three prisoners came to his
master's shop, when the female purchased three black
silk handkerchiefs and three pairs of stockings. She
tendered a 51. note in payment.
All the-e notes, which were produced, were iden-
tified es being the same as those lost by Mr. Fair-
weather.
Several other witnesses were called, who con-
nected the prisoners together in a variety of private
transactions.
Sergeant Western proved taking the prisoners into
custody—Steele, in
Itenfrewshire, cot and ; J Sohn-
son, in London ; and Margaretb y ;
and Angus, i a
letter from Steele to Johnson, n Der

to be in his handwriting.

trial at the next Old Bailey Sessions.

MRS. ALFRED SIIAW.—This lady's friends having
in the Times contradicted—though in somewhat
ambiguous terms—the paragraph which appeared in
our Review last week, respecting her origin and pro-
gress, we have referred to the correspondent who
furnished us with the information, and from him we
learn, that the statement is question appeared in the
Musical World of the 22d August, 1839, as extrrcted
from a letter of the European correspondent of the
Evening Star; and, although upwards of three years
have elapsed since publicity was given to this para-
graph in the English and American journals, we have
never heard, until now, that any denial if its accuracy
has been attempted. We did precisely what the
daily paprs have done with us—copied a paragraph
from another journal; cheerfully seizing that oppor-
tunity of passing a just eulogiuin upon the talents
and accomplishments of the subject of it. We have
not been furnished by Mrs. Shaw with the means of
refuting the paragraph which hi's attained so much
publicity by its simple transfer to our columni; nor
has any letter yet appeared in the daily journals from
her or from any of her friends (except anonymous
ones) denying the statement. IVe. can, however,'
assure Mrs. Shew that, in reprinting the paragraph.
which has created so much unnecessary indignation
amongst her friends, we had no desire to wound her
feelings, as the complimentary remarks with which
we prefaced the statement will sufficiently testify.
Mazzinghi, the celebrated composer, used to boast of
h:s having, when a boy, swept out and lighted the
orchestra of the Italian Opera House ; and the names
of Eldon and of Sugden, of Lawrence and of Blizzard,
with a lost of others, may be cited as honourable in-
stances of lowly origin attaining to high eminence in
this country. With regard to Mrs. Shaw's con-
nexions, we know them personally to be of the highest
respectability, and that part of our statement of last
week concerning them cannot be impeached. The
father of Mrs. Shaw was for many years mess-master
at the palace, and by him she was, in 1838, placed in
the Royal Academy, which she quitted three years
afterwards to visit Italy.—Dramatic and Musical
Review.
