POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)

MANSION-HO USE.

A man of the name of Thomas Mansell, who had
been a publican in Lambeth, was brought before the
Lon') MAYOR, charged with having embezzled several
sums of money, the property of his employer, Mr.
John Wood, tobacconist, Coleman-street.
The prosecutor stated that the prisoner entered into
his service as a town traveller for the sale of goods, in
the year 1840, and that since that period the prisoner
had received numerous sums of money, in all proba-
bilityamounting in the gross to between 2001. and 3001.
Mr. Pepper, of the Red Lion Inn public-house,
Aldersgate-street, stated that he was in the habit of
dealing with the prisoner for goods in the prosecutor's
line, and produced the prisoner's receipt for 2/.
The prisoner—There was no limited time for the
payment of the money received.
The LORD MAYOR—Is the amount received entered
in the bOok ? The prosecutor—There is n o entry
whatever.

The priiOner said that when he was a publican he
dealt with Mr. Wood, and upon leaving business he
went into Mr. Wood's service upon a commission of
12i per cent. Afterwards, however, that sort of
commission ceased, and he then obtained goods from
Mr. Wood upon credit, and the goods in question were
some of these.

The LORD MAYOR—That excuse will never do.
Why the invoices are in Mr. Wood's name, and the
receipt is signed by you for Mr. Wood. That sort
of defence will not anwer in this place.
Mrs. Mary Gowle, of the Old swan public -house,
Chelsea, stated that she bought a quantity of segars
from the prisoner, and paid him for them, and she
knew nothing at all of Mr. Wood..
The prisoner said he could produce letters and re-
ceipts calculated to show that his statement was quite
right, and he denied that there ..vas any such sum be-
tween him and the prosecutor as 2001. or 300/.
•
The prisoner was remanded.

Easter Pasgues and E. Levy, who were charged by
Mr. Gallowin, about the affair of the boot-legs, which
Easter had regularly obtained possession of, were dis-
charged, the applicant having received his property.

THE HARVEST IN SCOTLAND.
(From the Scotsman.)
The harvest is now over, the fields bare, and the
grain crop beyond the reach of injury. The superla-
tive quality is admitted on all hands, and so far as it
has been yet thrashed out, the yield on the barn-floor
is as ample as the quality is fine.
(From the Stirling Observer of Thursday.)
The weather still continues excellent for the pur-
pose of harvest work, and beautiful for those who
wish to enjoy themselves. Showers, however, are
now beginning to be more frequent, though there
has hitherto been no heavy nor long-continued
rain. The nights are also beginning to be chilly,
and in the mornings the cold is felt, and even
the hoar is sometimes seen. Some remains of
the harvest field are still to be seen abroad.
in the uplands, but it is only the remains. In
the carses and other low places, the last rem-
nant of the bean crop will be carried in this week,
and then will speedily follow the digging of potatoes,
which are now, in consequence of the fineness of the
season, about ready for gathering. In the London
market for two weeks past, wheat, which had pre-
viously fallen greatly, had again risen in price as
rapidly ; but this week again we perceive another fall
of from 3s. to 4s. a quarter.
(From the Perth Advertiser of Thursday).
Reaping may now be said to be concluded in the
neighbourhood. On all hands nothing but stooks,
or bare stubble-fields are to be seen. A few bright
airy days would now be of great benefit to the farmer.
As it is, corn-yards are swelling rapidly, so that in a
very short time nothing will be left to the chancey of
the weather save potatoes and turnips, both of which
promise an excellent return.
(From the Glasgow Argus of Thursday.)
The latter part of last and this week, so far as
it has gone, have been exceedingly favourable to the
agriculturist. In the bleakest uplands, reaping is all
but concluded, and not a few of the stack-yards in
those exposed situations are already well filled. As
breegelalrdbsrouht to a
theg
plains, both reaping and housing have
favourable conclusion, and nothing
is wanted but a few days of the present propitious
weather to place our less favoured localities in the same
desirable position.
(From the Kelso Chronicle of Friday.)
The atmosphere has been in the early part of
this week hot and sultry, unless in the mornings
and evenings, when the cold air and dews of
autumn have rendered it raw and chilly. On
Wednesday morning we had a considerable fall
of rain, accompanied along Tweedside by occasional
peals of thunder. Yesterday the clouds, which had
hung about during most part of the day, discharged
their watery burdens pretty copiously towards the af-
ternoon, which will, however, freshen the herbage and
turnip crops. The long-continued drought of this
season is not in the recollection of the oldest person,
for though the heat in 1826 was intense, and dry wea-
ther prevailed for some time, it was occasionally re-
lieved by intermittent showers. The bed of the
Tweed has been in consequence covered with weeds
and putrifying substances, and the hopes of the angler
have been hitherto disappointed
