POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

Clam-Stinson—Testerday all the avenues to this office were
thronged with crowds °l' the most notorious thieves and bad cha.
ratters now at large to see M. Herd, W. Watts. J. Faller, T. Brown,
aad auselone Bar Veld, the particulats of whose examination on a
charge • of burglary in the dweiling.house of M. de Reimer, in
Hustori-place, appeared in our Paper of Thursday last.
They were brought up again in- the expectation that evidence
would be forthcoming to sub• tantiate other charges against them ;
but nothing of that nature appearing, they were ordered to be
conveyed to Newgate for trial, on the charge before-mentioned.
Two draymen, in the employment of Messrs. Whitbread and
Cot were convicted in the penalty of lOs. foe obstructing the
public way in King street, NVestminster.
BOW-STIMILT.—Z Mantes and J. Diron'were fully committed,
for attempting to rob I persona passing the ruins of the fire
in Holborn.

Sarah Witiby,Catherine Boyles, and Thonins and Mary Mir:furl,
were charged with stealing various articles of wearing apparel,
&c. in the housa of Mrs. Johnson, in Berkeley-street, Lambeth,
in which Baylis lodged, during the absence of Mn. Johnson, on
Sunday. It was discovered that the two first prisoners had re-
moved the articles in a coach to New Bound-mast, in the Strand.
In consequence, Mr. Coe, a Ihdger, the whole of whose apparel,
'exeipt What he had on, was among the stolen property, ear:y
yesterday morning posted himself at the corner of the court,
whence Mary Alumford issued to a pawnbroker's, at the corner,
with.a coat belonging to him, hut her career being, stopped, she
conducted him to the room in which all the prisoners-were cod-
gregated, and were taken into custody, when Wilsby and Baylis,
who are sisters, exonerated the Mumtor4s, and acknowledged
their own crime. They were fully committed, and the Mum.
fords discharged._ _

GumnuALl--,—lifary Ann lines was charged by Miss Harding,
assistant in the shop of Mrs. Calvert, ivory turner, in Fleet-street,
who stated that on the 13th inst. the prisoner agreed to purchase
a comb at 4a. 6d. and tendered her a sovereign, for which she
was just about to give change, when the prisoner altered her
' mind, and the sovereign was returned to her. The prisoner
having thus ascertained she had change, agreed to purchase a
silver thimble for 2s. 6d. and again offered what Miss Harding
supposed to be the sovereign she had before tendered, which
she had ascertained to be a good one, and which she now, there-
fore, took without examination. I,n half an hour, however,
Miss Harding discovered the sovereign to he a gross counterfeit.
On Saturday she again came, and at once offered a bad sovereign
in payment for a thimble. She was then given into custody. In
her defence, she denied that she was ever at the shop before Sa-
turday, but she did not account for the possession of the one
with which she was then stopped, and was remanded.
WORSIIIP-STRTET.—Jame Bailey, a journeyman carpenter, in
the employ of Messrs. Lawrence and Cover, of Pitfield-street,
builders, was charged wi:h stealing a number of boards, their
property. When the priamer was placed at the bar, a young
woman appeared in the office, labouring under the utmost mental
agony. The prisoner was her sweetheart, ani this was the day on
which they were to have been married. He ha I intr., &Iced him-
self to her as a single man, bad won the best affections of
heart, and then it was found out he was married to two women,
both living ; and that he had stolen the timber for the repair of
the house which was taken for the future residence of himself
and this young woman, who was brought forward as a witne,s
against him. She stated her name wag Lydia Church, and that
she lived with her mother, in Prince's-court. Virginia-row,
Bethnal-green : she then said, " On Thursday week last, be-
tween seven and eight o'clock in the evening, the prisoner brought
three boards to a house near where my mother lives :" but here
she stopped, and her whole frame was agitated. The Magistrate
ordered water for her, but presently, having had a glimpse of
the prisoner, she went into a fit, and en recovering cried met,
" Take him away, take him away—he has broken my heart !"
Mr. Bezaree addressed a few observations to her, and ordered
the case to stand over.—The prisoner viewed the scene without
one tear or sign of sorrow.

LAMBETH-TRlMT.—Elitabeth Martin, Edy Waterhouse, Ann
Bradshaw, Jim Archer, and Aim Birney, were charged by a
tradesman in King Edward-street, Wapping, the two former with
robbing him of £129 14s. and the others with snatching his gold
watch-chain, seals, and key. The prosecutor could not swear to
the person of Birney, who was therefore discharged ; Archer
and Bracblaw were fully committed; and Martin and Water-
house reminded.

MA RY-LA.BONNZ Orrieft.—lVilliain Cooper, a driver of one of
the Paddington stages, Was summoned by Neville Esq.
surgeon, for furiously driving in the New-road, whereby his
chaise was broken. Defendant was fined £5.
liarros-GARDEN.---Yasterday W. Carvell, driver of the hack-
ney-coach No. 225, was lined CO'. for using insolent language to
his fare, T. Maffery, Esq. of Percy-street; on which he told the
Magistrate that" he acted. thpartially and unjustly, when an addi-
tional 20s. was laid on e fine. The coachman then changed his
tone, and begged hard for a mitigation, but the Magistrate was
inflexible. Mr. Maffery requested that his share of the penalty'
might be put into the Poors box.
Several boys were committed for picking pockets at the Ere in
Holborn, acid three for similar crimes on persons coming out of
the Foundling Chapel, on Sunday eNOeniug.
MARLBOROUGH-STSEET,-4. Woodhouse, a discharged soldier,
was charged by a horse patrol on suspicion of robbery. The pri-
soner was seen early yesterday morning loitering about the house
of a Gentleman, In the Five Fields, Chelsea, and in consequerce
of various depredltions being lately committed in that quarter,
he questioned him ; on which he said he was a Bow-street officer
en duty, but could not produce his authority, and he took him to
the watch-house. The prisoner in his defence said, that on the
Sunday evening he went into a public-house, and overheard three
men planning a robbery in the neighbourhood ; on which he
proceeded to the spot, in order to apprehend them when they
arrived ; he represented himself as an officer, but thought it no
harm. It was mentioned by au officer that the prisoner had re-
ceived several wounds, and was suspected of being deranged.—
On this representation, be was discharged with a reprimand.
Henry Taylor was remanded, on suspicion'of stealing a ham
during the fire in Holborn, on Saturday night last, which he said
be purchased at a pubiic-house in Lambeth for 2s.

Saturday evening, a little impudent fellow, about
thirty years of age, called at the house of Mr. BAR-
NETT, surgeon, of Chat terhouse-square, and inquired
of the foot-boy if his master was at home? Being an-
sweredi n the negative, he requested leave to write a
note for him, which the lad allowed him to do in his'
presence. The fellow, in snuffing the candle, put it
out, and then desired the lad to retch him a light in
order to seal the note, but before he could return to
the room he met the fellow in the passage, who said
it was all right, as he happened to have a wafer in
his pocket, gave the lad the note, and left the house;
but shortly afterwards it was discovered that the thief
had taken with hint a valuable silver snuff•box,which
happened to be on the mantlepiece.
Friday se'imight, the newly-erected Tread-mill for
the employment of prisoners in the County Jail and
House of Correction at Reading was, for the first
time, put in motion. The prisoners performed the
labour apparently well till the following Monday, at
one o'clock, when thirty-two mutinied, and refused
t,) go on the wheels, stating that they must have
extra provisions and leather-bottom shoes, or could
not perform the labour. They considered confine-
ment in cells was all the punishment that awaited
their disobedience; but in that idea they were de-
ceived: the keeper and assistants were under the ne-
cessity of having recourse to arms and bludgeons,
and compelled every man .to go upon the wheel and
perform the allotted labour.

AMERICA.

NEW YORK, OCTOBER 30.
During the gale tin Sunday night, the Hamburgh
ship Augusta, Peterson, fi orn Altdna, 105 days out,
bound to this port; with a foil cargo of hemp, iron,
&c. consigned.to Messrs. J. W. Schmidt and Co. was
wrecked on the beach near Long Branch, and the
vessel and cargo are totally lost. The Captain and
all the crew except one were saved. She had been
ten days on the coast.
The St. John's Star, of the 15th inst. brings intel-
ligence, that St. Andrew's has been disjoined from
that port, and is henceforth:to be a separate establish-
ment. Colit‘ Cam pbell, Esq. is appointed Collector,
and John Dunn, Esq. Comptroller. Shelburne is to
be greatly reduced in its Custom-house establishment.
Novem Bra I.—Letters from Lima, of Jdne 11, are
received in Philadelphia. • An expedition was fitting
out, to include 7000 of the best troops, to proceed
4-7ainst Arequipa, the only strong hold 'in Upper
Peru remaining in the possession of the Spaniards.
Lord Cochrane is said to be no longer in the ser-
vice of any of the South American Governments.
We are authorized to state, that not a' single case
of the yellow fever has come to the knowledge of any
of the Assistants of the Board of Health since the
Board adjourned.

Porto Cabello ; they chaced her until night, when it
was given over, but the next day she was captured.

thousand dollars on board."
FROM THE BALTIMORE PATRIOT, OCT. 25.

FROM HA VA NNAH.—We have received a file of
Havannah Papers up to the llth of October, by the
brig Orestes. The a; ‘icles of interesting intelligence
principally relate to Mexico. A pompous and inflated
Proclamation denounced the conspiracy, as iris called,
which formed the pretext for the proceedings yester-
day noticed, and abounds in all the hypocritical cant
which would become a Richard or Cromwell. :Sixty
persons are arrested, including twelve Deputies to the
Cot tee, and eight offices of different grades.
A letter to the Edito.., of the 11th, accompanyihg
the papers, notices particularly the report of Captain
Rodriguez, of the schooner Iris (Si. anish), relative to
the refitting of Patriot privateers in the United States.
It also adds a confirmation of the transaction noticed
in the Patriot of the 21st, with some additional par-
ticulars, as follows ;
a The United States schooner Peacock and British
schooner of war Si \% ell, arrived bete a few days
since, having captured in company five piratical ves-
sels, one mounting nine guns, one five, and three
small vessels laden with goods. The 7 also destroyed
one small vessel, and a quantity of property on shore
at the harbour of Bayo Honda. The Peacock fell in
with the Speedwell, which was on shore on a reef,
and would, no doubt, have been captured by the pi-
rates, had not the Peacock scut her boats and men to
their assistance. The pirates. then made for the har-
bour, and the two vessels manned their boats and
pursued them ; when (as has been before stated) the
men all deserted the vessels and. fled to the w00d5.....
One of the prize schooners is now in this port, a ten-
der to the Peacock. The others, I understand, have
been ordered to Charleston. A representation of this
having been made to the Government, the Governor
ordered a detachment of 200 men by hand,
Two
schooners of war, four launches, and two armed boats
with 200 men, also lett here on the 9th inst. in pur-
suit of the piratical gang. This movement op the
part of the Government. to co-operate with the Ame-
ricans and English, will no doubt put a stop to this
nefarious business, which it would be utterly impos-
sible to effect without the assistance of land forces."

Letters from Baltimoir, say, the people complain
very much of Mr. MATH EWS, the facetious comedian
he makes them laugh so long, an i so loud, that
they not only violate Lord CHESTERFIELD'S instruc-
tions, but their sides ache for ttsenty-four hours, and
are thus rendered incapable of attention to business !
Wednesday the Tribunal of the First Instance in
Paris was occupied with an .action brought by M.
Fromont, of Nisme,, against his Royal Highness Mon-
sieur, for a sum of 290,00()fr. with inte; est for thirty
yetieS. This sum is asserted to have been lost by M.
Fromont, in consequence itf his having, in pursuance
of the instructions of Monsieur, excited the trnsuc.
cessful Royalist insurrection at Nismes, in 1790.--.
On the part of Monsieur, it was contended that he
gave no orders, verbal or other, to M. Fromont, but
that the latter acted of his own accord: and further,
that his losses have been amply compensated by his
appointment to the place of Honorary Secretary of
the King's Cabinet, the income of which (1,000 fr.)
he still retains, though the place had been sup-
pressed. The further proceedings were adjourned to
Wednesday next.
An article in the French Papers from the fron-
tiers of Catalonia, dated the 12th inst. says--" Yes-
terday, at noon, the Regency arrived at Puycerda;
the Members were three in number, viz. the Marquis
of MA TAFLORIDA, Baron ORTA I FA, and Senor Gls-
PERT. They were accompanied by three Secre-
taries. They were all in gi and costume, and were
'received with military honours, but not a single viva
for the Regency was heard. The escort consisted of
from 300 to 400 men, foot ai,d Ito, se. There were
not more than 150 or `20;) men for the garrison of
Puycerda. The opinion in that town wa ~ that the
Regency would leave it on the same or the following
day, fur Llivia, or for passing completely into France.
—The army of Mina, ‘N-114:11 is said to consist of
i 2.5,000 men, is advancing towards the Seo d'Urgel,
lin which Baron Entmes I detained by indisposition.
