The abolition of the privilege of franking would not
only afford an immediate and direct increase to the Post-
office revenue, but would very much diminish the charges
of that establishment, where sorters, inspectors &c. are
kept solely for this unproductive branch of the depart-
ment.
The number of Newspapers published in the Nether.

in France, one to 437 ; and in England, as one to 184.
The increased activity of the press at Brussels is very
remarkable, for in 1815 the number of sheets printed
was only 4,000,000 ; in 1823, it had risen to 8 250,000';
ag in 1828, to 12,600,000—hdring trebled in thirteen
yams. Thanks to the battle of Waterloo.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

now•-S''M EET.
THE MURDER OF TILE must be in the recollec-
don of many of our readers, that about 18 years ago, a whole fa-
mily of the name of Marrs, residing in Ratcliffe Highway, were
massacred, and that another family named Williamson, residing ire
the same neighbourhood, were murdered eleven days subsequent t.•
the forma horrible transaction.
Yesterday Sir R. Brims received a letter from Mr. Marshall, a
Magistrate fur the county of Buckiagham, dated Cheatham, March
11, informing Sir RICHARD %nem that a man was in custody
at Chesham, who made a confession that he was concerned many
years ago in committing the murders in Ratcliffe Highway. The
letter stated, that the prisoner is between .40 and 50, and be bad
applied to the parochial authorities at Chesham to be removed to
his place of settlement as a pauper. He was examined before Mr.
Marshall, and interrogated as to his parish, and he stated that he
had a claim upon St. Paul's, Shadwell. Upon being asked when
he was last at Shadwell, he hesitated, and became a good deal con-
fused. This was particularly noticed by Mr. Marshall and his clerk,
who again asked him when he was last in Shadwell ? He replied,
" not since the murder of the Main," and became a good deal agi.
tilted. Mr. NI arshall said to the prisoner, that it was many years ago
when those murders were committed. He replied, " yes, many
years." Mr. Marshall asked him as to the time when, and the place
where be resided when the deed was done ? The prisoner replied,
that he lived at the time with a Mrs. Philpot, in Philpot-rents, or
court, between New and Old Oravel-lane. Mr. Marshall asked, if
that was near to the house where the Marrs resided ; and the pri.
saner, whose agitation continued to increase, said it was very near,
and at once confessed that he was concerned in the murder. Mr.
Marshall conceived it was his duty, as a magistrate, to cause some
r urveesyt2ation into the statement made by the prisoner before he
him to go at large, and he requested Sir 11. Birnie to direct
an officer to make certain inquiries, chiefly relating to the prisoner's
description of the locality of the lace where the murder was per-
petrated, and other circumstances relating to it.
81r RICHARD Mainz dispatched an officer to Shadwell to make
the inquiries, and having referred to his diary (in which is inserted
an account of every occurrence of public interest for the last twenty-.
five years), be found that the Marrs' murder was committed on the
7th of December, 1811, and the Williamsons' on the 18th of the
same month and year. Sir Richard wrote a reply to Mr. Marshall,
giving all the informorion in his power, and thus the matter rests at
present.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
ant nrrzczs or BEING ELEGANTLY DRESSEDe•-•A Very
Ihshionable-looking female, and a gentleman who stated himself to
be a wine-merchant, were charged with having in the first place
seated a dot; secondly, with assaulting the police constable; and,
Imetly;with endeavouring to rescue each other from the legal cue.
Indy of the officers.
hoards, one of the police constables, deposed, that about one
o'clock on Sunday morning he observed a great number of persons
assembled together in L:icester.place. On going up to the spot he
observed the female, surrounded by a mob of upwards of 100 per-
sons, and she kicking and striking every one within her reach. He
went up and begged of her to go home, but instead of following his
advice the fenta.e attacked him and struck him repeatedly. Finding
his entreaties of no avail, he found hifoself under the necessity of
taking the prisoner into custody. The gentleman, on finding that
the female was going to the watchhouse, endeavouredi to rescue her,
by taking her from his custody. Some of the police came up, who
took the gentleman, on which the female used her exertions to get
him away. By the time they reached the station a mob of nearly
five hundred persona had collected.
The evidence of Edwards was corroborated by the police who
came to his assistance.
The female, in reply, said that she was on her return home,
odor the protection of the gentleman, and had reached Leiccster-
place, when she was grossly insulted by the mob, and that the
polka, instead of protecting her, took her into custody.
The male defendant stated that he had been requested by a friend
of his to see the lady home, who, upon Sunday night, was most
elewtly dressed, so much an that she attracted general attention.
Whaher the mob had never seen a lady elegantly dressed before he
could not say. He, however, should think they had not, as they
followed them, and by the time they had reached Leicester-place
the mob became excessively annoying, and it was with the utmost
difficulty that he saved the elegant dress of the lady from being
spoiled. While the lady and be were defending themselves the
police came up, and the complainant seized hold of the lady. All
be did was merely to push him away, fearing that if he should ban. •
die the lady he would spoil her elegant dress. Otherwise they went
very quietly to the police station. He in the first instance endea.
veered to procure a coach, but his attempts were fruitless.
Mr. Rox—When the police constable came up, he found the fe.
male fighting. What does she say to that?
The gentleman—The lady was merely protecting her silk dress.
Mr. Rota—What are you ?
Defendant—.l am a wine merchant.
Mr. Rot observed that the female had acted very ire y,
and therefore she must pay a fine of 7s. and as for the other
dant, who must have known better, he must pay 20e. for endeavour.
log to rescue the female.
The defendant instantly paid the money, and, taking the lady
under his arm, left the

IRISH MURDERS EXTRAORDINARY.
From a Correspondent of the Herald.
Maryborough, March 12.
" Foul deeds will rise."
The inhuman butchery perpetrated by a certainsalbe in the Strand
upon the body of Lord Plunket was rather along shot. It has afforded
considerable amusement to the gentlemen of our home bar, whom it
reminds of poor Parson's bon mot regarding the son of Leonard
Mee-Nally. That fine youth, who (in the opinion of Parsers, at
least) seemed less likely to be "sinned against then sinning," was
met on the Curragh of Kildare by a brace of highwaymen, and rob-
bed. The news flew on the wings of the poet to Dublin, and
the father, meeting our ex-Commissioner of Insolvents, asked
him, in his usual fussy manner, whether he heard of his son's rob-
bery ? "No indeed, my dear Mac," replied the wag, " but lam
very mach concerned ; pray, who did he rob T. In; like manner,
hearing of an Irish Judge's murder, one might be tempted, in the
simplicity done's heart, to inquire whom did he tang? It is only
fair, however, towards Lord Plunket, to add, that he is the last
person on the Irish Bench—at all events the last but one—to whom
such an unhandsome allusion might be applied.
The gaol of Maryborough is .stoke-full already. The assizes for
the county being to-morrow, and Lord Plunket (no offence to the
Courier,) with all his brains, and without any " mortal murders
on his head," will open the business in the Crown Court.
QUACK DOCTOlll.—John Taylor was indicted for causing .the
death of Ann Morley, by administering to her a quantity of quirk-
silver. It appeared that the deceased. who was eleven years of age,
Lad been ill with fever and cold ; and the usual remedies having
been tried without much effect, the primmer said he had a Medicine
which would save her life, when all other means failed, and he knew
the ailment better than the doctors. He then gave the child a mix-
ture. compared principally of mercury, which threw the child into
a deep salivation and caused her death. These facts were proved ;
but the Learned Judge being of opinion that the evidence was not
solledent, directed the Jury to writ therier.

Highness the Duke of Brunswick is expected here, on his

OLD Titles AGAIN.—WII are informed that a gen-
tleman, who has recently bought an estate a few miles
from this town, intends to apportion off from its number
of small farms, to be let to tenants at easy rents, in order
to give the small farm system a fair trial. He has, we
understand, built cottages, &c. to each of which he has
attached six acres of land.—Brighton Gazette. •
