POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

BOW-STREET.

RESCUE OF MAURICE DELAY FROM A SHERIFF'S
OFFICER..--A Sheriff's officer, named Levi, appeared to
complain before the Magistrates this morning of four per-
sona, named Brown, Reeve, Sankley, and Martishaw,
who, he stated, had rescued Maurice Delay, the pugilist,
from his custody on Saturday last, at the Crooked Billet
public-house, near Temple Bar. He stated that he had
with Lee, his assistant, watched Maurice Delay from ano-
ther into the above public-house, where he captured him.
Maurice however wish, 1 him to go to another house, where
he had a friend who would pay the debt and costs ; to this
complainant would not agree, but consented to stop till he
sent for his friend there. Maurice sent for a person
named Ward, who left the house, and shortly afterwards
returned with several. other persons, who shook hands
with Delay, and remained there for some time, se-
veral of them saying " I wish you may get it, Maurice,
you are not going to night." The defendants now present
were all there. Complainant then heard his man Lee, who
was outside, call out " murder," and immediately collared
Maurice, who struck him, and on his drawing out his staff
knocked him down and escaped. All the defendants were
assistfru,' more or less in his escape. Brown and Reeve
collared him, and the two others were upon Lee ; he then
called his wan Lee, Themes Thomas, a watchman, and
Cuthbert the landlord, who corroborated some parts of his
statement; Cuthbert however said that no person
assisted Delay, who doubled Levi up like a piece
of paper, and jumping over hint rushed out of
the door. He said that they were friends of Delay's,
who mostly visited the Sol's Arms, and who, he
had no doubt, had come to his house for the purpose, ex-
cept Sankey. Levi seemed in fear of his own prisoner, and i
stopped in the house with him two or three hours.
Brown said, in defence, that he was a jeweller, and
knew nothing of Delay, more than having known him to
be a pugilist. He had nothing to do with the fray.
Sankey stated that he knew Delay on the same .footing ;
that he was a farmer from Worcestershire, and was going
to leave town by coach, when taken at the Sul's
Arms, with the other defendants. They had been visited

such a scrape at any price, having respectable friends in'
town, whom he did not wish to hear of it. He neither
knew the name or address of the person to whom he gave
his money.
The night constable said he saw 25/. given by Sankey
to the person whom lie called his friend ; he did not know
what they were doing, but insisted on taking the number
of the notes.

Sankey was instantly bailed, and the others were com-
mitted in default thereof; the Magistrates expressing their
astonishment at .the easiness with which Sankey patted
with his money.

SECOND VISIT OF THE LORD HIGH

ADMIRAL.

At ten minutes past two, p.m. on Thursday, his
Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral, accompa-
nied by Col. Wood, M.P. for Brecknockshire,, Capt.
S. J. B. Pechell, and the Hon. Capt. Spencer, his
Secretary, arrived at the Admiral's House, Mount
Wise, in two carriages and four, having come by
land from Portsmouth for the purpose of presenting
the Royal Marines with their new colours. After a
short audience with Admiral the Earl of Northesk,
our Commander-iii-Chief, and the different Captains
of the Fleet, his Royal Highness,. with these officer:
in attendance, embarked in the Admiral's Barge,
under a salute of 19 pas, from the forts and.ship-
ping, for Commissioner Shield's Yacht, in which he
intended to visit the Genoa, from Navarro, then lay-
ing in the Sdund. The -Yacht, after receiving his
Royal Highness, got under weigh, taking in
tow the barges of the _different men-of-war
in commission, with their Captains, but on at-
tempting to pass Cremil Point, the wind, which was
before blowing strong, suddenly died away, and
the flood tide making fast into the harbour, she reel-
ed and stuck on a sunken rock, a little to the west
of the German Rock, where not being likely soon to
get off, his Royal Highness again moved into the
barge, and proceeded on board the Genoa, where he
was received with the customary honours, and re-
mainetlon board nearly ari' hOur and an ball. After
inspecting her state, and expressing a kindly interest
in the welfare of her surviving officers and crew, his
Royal Highness returned to the Admiral's house at
fire.o'clock, landing at the Royal Clarence Baths,
Richmond Walk. At seven the Earl of Northesk
entertained his Royal Highness, and a distinguished
pally, at dinner. The.yacht was afterwards got off
the rocks.

ground was kept by the Devonport Yeomanry Ca-
valry, under the command of Captain Tink. The
Lord High Admiral walked down .the line, attended
by a number of military and naval Officers, the troops
presenting arms. In consequence of the unfavourable
state of the weather, no evolutions took place, nor
did the troops fire a feu de joie, as intended. On
the word of command from Sir John Cameron, the
troops formed into a three-sided hollow, the opening
being to the west, the -colour-guard then formed a
hollow square, the centre of which- was almost im-
mediately entered by his Royal Highness, where,
surrounded by field officers, the Lord High Admiral
addressed Colonel Vinicombe in an animated speech
of an hour and a half in duration, occasionally refer-
ring to some written notes which he held in his hand.
During the delivery of this speech it rained inces-
santly, and occasionally with great -violence. His
Royal Highness was not, however, in the blast dis-
concerted, but proceeded in a firm and manly tone
of voice to the end of his oration, when the new
colours, which were held by . Colonel Anderson
Morshead, of the Royal Engineers. and Colonel
Bainbridge, Deputy Assistant Quarter-master Ge-
neral, were presented in due form.—Devonport
Telegraph.

DIED.--On the 18th inst., at Gravesend,
after a lingering illness, Miss Maar PATON, deeply lamented
by a numerous circle of friends. She was a cousin of
Miss PATON, and sister of Mr. WALTER PATON, the
eminent ornamental writer, of Devonshire-street, Port-
land-place.
We had said our say relative to the Bishop of
CHESTER'S extraordinary accusation against the Bishop of
NORWICH for ordaining Mr. PURDON without a title; but
we have ascertained that the Bishop of CHESTER did not
long ago send his own cousin to the Bishop of Nonwrcu,
with a request that he would ordain him, though he bad
no title. Facts are atabb93'p :..,s,4odpi
