POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
CLERKEZV W ELL.
Two aristocratic-looking young men, named Geo.
Thomas and James Hawkins, were placed in the felon's
dock, charged with stealing knockers off several doors
arising out of the same charge Mr. Ezekiah Wilson,
of Park-street, Grosvenor-square, was accused of
throwing stones at the door of the station-house in
Islington-green, and with other violent conduct. A
large basket filled with knockers of doors, iron bars,
and nobs of railings, &c., the product of their maraud-
ing, was produced in Court.
It appeared from the evidence of several police-con-
stables, that on the previous night the prisoners went
up to every house on Duncan-terrace, Islington, and
;
forced the knockers off many of them they had pre-
viously paid a visit to York-place, and behaved in the
same manner.—The Rev. James Thompson resides at
No. 1, Duncan-terrace ; is at present labouring under
severe illness, which was much increased by the
alarm he felt at the violence of the prisoners. He
thought they were breaking into the house.—Several
housekeepers came forward and identified their knock-
ers, some of which were found on the prisoners' per-
sons, and some where they had been standing. The
offence of throwing stones at the station-house door was
proved against Wilson.
Mr. COMM said—You evidently belong to a class
which should befar above such gross, outrageous con-
duct as that of which I feel it my duty to convict
you. If it were only one or two knockers you twisted
off, and then went away home, it might pass for a
foolish frolic, the excitement of a moment; but you
have been guilty of systematic and extensive violence,
a series of offences of a very disgraceful character.
To fine persons of your condition 51., the utmost I
can impose, would be a mere farce, I therefore sen-
tence you, without fine, to one month's imprisonment
in the House of Correction and hard labour. Mr.
Wilson I sentence to pay a fine of 2/.
The prisoners earnestly begged to be fined.
Mr. COMM refused to alter the sentence.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Yesterday, David Hume Nelson, late cashier and
clerk to the Friendly Lean Society, at No. 50, Lei-
cester-square, and Lucy Anne, his wife, were, for the
third time, brought up for examination, charged on
suspicion of having stolen four Si. Bank of England
notes, and gold and silver monies, to the amount of
621. 10s., the property of the trustees of the Society.
Mr. Humphries, the solicitor, attended to conduct
the case on the part of the prosecution ; and Mr.
nobler, jun., was solicitor for the prisoners. It may
be remembered, from the report of the prisoner's first
examination, 'which appeared in The Sun of Thursday,
the 17th ult., that the male prisoner, on the 2d of No-
vember, 1841, communicated to the Honorary Secre-
tary of the Society that his cash drawer at their
office had been opened. during the previous night,
and the above amount stolen therefrom, but
suspicion being entertained at the time that his state-
ment was a mere fabrication, and that he had appro-
priated the money to his own use, he was dismissed
from his situation. The numbers of the notes he
alleged to have been stolen, being known, notice was
given at the Bank of England, and after the lapse of
about a twelvemonth, ono of them was paid in, and
traced to have been passed by the female prisoner, at
a grocer's shop in Hungerford market, when she gave
the name of Goddard, and an address at Brompton,
which turned out to be false, but in consequence of
this, the prisoners were traced and apprehended, liv-
ing together at Colney Hatch, near Barnet. The
charge was then met by the female prisoner, stoutly
denying that she was the person who had passed the
note. Subsequently, however, another of the notes
name into the Bank, and was traced to have been
passed by her at the shop of Mr. Casnetts, of High-
street, Camden-town, pawnbroker, in redeeming a
china chimney ornament pledged by her for 15s.
She on that occasion gave the name of Dewart, and
on searching their lodgings at ColneyHatch, a pawn-
broker's duplicate, in the name of Goddard, and some
letters in the latter name, were found.—They were
fully committed.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
LOUISBURG LIGHT ON CAPE BRETON ISLAND.. .

The following information has been received by
her Majesty's Government :
" A lighthouse has been established on the eastern
side of the entrance to the harbour of Louisburg, 60
fathoms in shore, in lat. 45 deg. 54 min. N., and long.
59 deg. 50 min. 10 sec. It stands on the site of the
old French lighthouse (which was succeeded by a
beacon), and shows a fixed light, visible at sea from off
Cape Portland, to the south-eastern extreme of Cape
Breton. The lighthouse (which is a square building)
is painted white, with vertical block stripes on either
side in order to distinguish it from lighthouses, and to
render it conspicuous when the back land is covered with
snow. The following remarks may be of service
to vessels bound to Louisburg. When coming from
the eastward they should bring the light to bear W.
by N., or more northerly, before they run for it ; and
if coming from the westward, it should be brought N.
by E., or more northerly, in order to clear Green
Island and the Ledges' which lie three-quarters of a
mile S. by W. W. from the light. When in the
entrance of the harbour (which is nearly half a mile
wide), with the light bearing N.N.E. two or three
cables distant, steer W.N.W. for half a mile, to avoid
the Nag's Head, a sunken rock on the starboard hand
bearing W. by N. from the light. The north-east
arm of the harbour affords the safest anchorage. The
light of Louisburg bears about S.S.W. W. from the
revolving light on Scatari Island. The bearings are
magnetic."

DUTCH AND HAMBURGH MAIL.
FRANKFORT, Nov. 16.—According to a statement,
which, however, needs confirmation, the rough esti-
mate of the expense of the Federal fortresses of Ulm
and Rastatt is 30,000,000 of florins. The payments
will be made from the Treasury of the Confederation,
but we hear, that for making the partial payments, an
agreement has been made with the house of Roths-
childs, of this city, which, for a moderate commission,
undertakes to make the several payments of the spot
at its own risk and costs.

FROM Tux DANUBE, Nov. 18.—The result of the
general meeting respecting the navigation of the
Danube, seems not to have been such as was desired ;
it has, indeed, been resolved not to give up this fine
national undertaking, but the shareholders being dis-
appointed in their expectations, would not consent to
make any further grant of the money required to
prosecute it. The offer of an advance of 50,000
florins, at 2 per cent., was indeed accepted, but com-
petent judges affirm that this sum is insufficient for
the purpose.
HANOVER, Nov. 21.—The following particulars
are reported in public respecting our accession to the
Prussian Customs Union :—A Committee, consisting
of Members of the Board of Taxes, and of the De-
partments of the Interior, whose proceedings, how-
ever, are kept a profound secret, is engaged in exa-
mining the offers which, it is said, have been made
from Berlin. It must be observed, however, that his
Majesty the King is supposed to be personally adverse
to joining the Customs Union, and that by far the
greater part of the kingdom is of the same opinion.
Some provinces and towns are much inclined to the
Union from their position and their commercial and
local interests ; and some persons high in office in the
revenue departments are zealous advocates for it.
