POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

111ANSiON-HOUSE.—Yesterday a seafaring man,
named Kennedy, was brought before the Lord Mayor and
Alderman Ansley, charged by a tide-waiter with having
smuggled some Dutch tobacco-pipes. The penalty being
enormous, the defendant was trembling in his shoes,
well knowing that the Excise would not show him the
bast thercy.
The tide-waiter produced a sample of the pipes, and
stated that he believed them to be part of the parcel whiCh
had been smuggled.
Aldernian ANSLEY asked whether there were not pipes
made in this country resembling those which were now
produced.
the answer to this was, that there were, but those
pipes appeared to be of Dutch make.
The Loeb MAvOrt asked whether any one was present
who could swear that the pipes were• Dutch.
To this question there was no answer, and his Lordship
said that the information must be quashed.
The information was then, to the surprise and joy of
the defendant, Who expected at least five years' servitude in
the navy, dismissed.
THE SPANISH EMIGRANTS.—The following letter was
a few days ago transmitted to the Lord Mayor, to whom it
was stated that the unfortunate emigrants were in a famish-
ing condition

TO HIS HONOURABLE WORSHIP THE MAYOR.

Charles Bartolomeo and John Baptist Lanata, officers of
the Artillery, and Octavius Gallea and F►ancis Neilo,
notaries, emigranta,•not having any success by the means
yotir Worship were so good as to give them, they came to
me in aud► a deplorable state, as would have inspired com-
passion in the heart of the most barbarous person. They
entreated me to supplicate your Worship's interest for them:
thus I take the liberty to explain to your Worship the state
in which these miserable unprotected poor creatures are
plunged. After the order of your Worship, they presented
themselves to Mr. Freshfieltl, who, however, could yield
them no assistance, as the funds procured from the high
benevolence of the British public were completely exhausted ;
but that, nevertheless, there was a bazaar fur the Spanish
and Italian emigrants, anti still the English Nobility
showed their generosity to the destitute. It appears to
me that the four persons for whom I have the honour to sup-
plicate your Worship, after having suffered as prisoners of
war in Africa, arriving in this capital deprived of all means
of support, merit to participate a little of the bounty which
flows from the English bosom. These unfortunates being
in the last extremity of misery, they present themselves to
your Worship, and supplicate you to have pity on them ;
and I take the liberty of assuring your Worship that they
are worthy of your notice in every respect, because they
would be thankful for any employment for their support.
I dare hope that you will not reject my entreaties for them
and that those unfortunates will find in you succour and
protection.

Allow me to remain, your honourable Worship's obedient
humble servant, Count L. J. TASISTRO.
15, Wyndham-street, Bryanston-square.
The LORD M xvon. lamented that it was wholly out of
kis polder to do anything more for the poor men who thus
entreated compassion, than hand the statement of their dis-
tresses to those who would probably render them some
service, by applying to the great channel of charity—the
public press.
MARYLERONt-OFPlCE.—Yesterday, Mr. Fair-
brother, an eating-house keeper in Edgware-road, whose
house was burned down a short time ago, complained that
two firemen had sold a bed and a carpet, which were saved
from the flames, to one Nathan, a Jew, who keeps a bro-
ker's shop in the same street, and refused to give them up
until he had his-money again,
Mr. GRIFFITH expressed surprise at such a charge
against firemen, and called upon Mr. Nathan for an ex-
planation.
" Your Worship," said Mr. Nathan, " I saw the fire-
men selling several things to other people and I thought
it no harm to buy the bed."
Mr. GRIFFITH--I believe you lived within two doors of
the fire; you knew to whom the property belonged; if it
is not explained, I shall consider it a gross act of felony,
and treat it as such.

Wall, a constable belonging to the office, informed Mr.
Griffith that when he served the summons upon Mr.
Nathan, the evening before, Mr. Nathan showed him the
bed, tied up in the carpet, and said, if Mr. Fairbrother
chooses to take them, I will sue the firemen for the 12s.
which I paid for them."

Mr. GRIFFITH—What are their ,names? Mr. Nathan
—I know the man by sight who sold the bed to me, but
not by name ; he said he would come forward if lie was
wanted, and that Mr. Christy, the deputy foreman, gave
him leave to sell it.

Mr. GRIFFITH-1 think it quite necessary, for the sake
of the public, that this should be generally known, and it
shall be so as far as I can make it. So let there be a sum-
mons for this deputy-foreman of the Imperial, and the fire-
man who sold the property to Nathan ; and if I cannot
get a proper explanation, the Directors of the Company must.
HATTON-GARDEN.—Yesterday a man of gigantic
stature, named Thomas Walker, was brought on a warrant
by Limbrick, before Mr. ROGERS, charged by Mrs. Bigg,
of Wiltnot-street, Clerkenwell, with causing his son, about
ten years of age, to commit a violent assault upon her little
daughter under four years old.
Mr. ROGERS asked the defendant what he had to say ?
Defendant : I have much to say, but shall not trespass
more than half an hour.

Mr. ROGERS. shall not hear you for half an hour.
What have you to say to the charge?—Defendant : I can-
not justify myself in less time.
Mr. ROGERS.—Then you'll find good bail.
QUEEN-SQUARE.—Yesterday Chas. Johnson, driver
of the Hammersmith stage, No. 5,558, appeared to a
summons obtained against him for furiously driving.
The defendant said he was guilty, and was very sorry
for what bad occurred.

Mr. Gaitaoms (the Magistrate) should fine the coach-
man 61. and costs, and trusted it would be a warning to
him for the future. •

NSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, SEPT. 27.

RULE....-IN THE MATTER OF TOLFREY.

Mr. PoLLocx showed cause against a rule Nisj,
obtained on a former day by Mr. HEATH, for the
creditors of the above-named insolvent to show
cause why he should not be allowed to file his peti-
tion, he having neglected to do so within the time
prescribed by Act of Parliament. The Learned
Gentleman founded his opposition to the circum-
stance of the insolvent having contracted a debt
fraudulently with Mr. Pontet, a tobacconist, in Pall-
mall, since he (insolvent) was committed to prison.
Several letters written by the insolvent were
then read, which excited considerable mirth. They
purported to come from Mitcham, and bore the se-
veral dates of March 12 and 16, April 17, and
lastly, the sth of May. The first letter contained
an order for some prime Havannah cigars, as several
friends of his were great smokers.—(Laughter.)—
The insolvent also wanted his jar filled with Prince's
Mixture. Another letter contained an urgent re-
quest for another case of cigars, and a pound of prime
illartinique.—(Laughter.)
The last letter was dated on the sth of May, and
Contained a further order fora pound of Martinique,
and stating that the last cigars did not draw well-
(a laugh)—promising► at the same time to come to
town in the following week, when he would dis-
charge his account.
"Not content," said Mr. PoLLOCK, " with bestow-
ing his favours upon his clients while at large, he at
length sent another order after he got into prison,
stating that he wanted some Prince's Mixture, ob-
serving that he could not live without snuf."—(Loud
laughter.)
Mr. Commissioner LAW said, that if it had been
proved that the insolvent had obtained the snuffs and
cigars for the purpose of recruiting his purse by the
sale of the articles, there would have been some
reasons why the rule should, be effectively opposed;
but it appeared that the insolvent had one of the
articles for his own use, and which he seemed to
consider essential to his existence : under these cir-
cumstances, therefore, he should pronounce the rule
absolute.
