POLICE.

11A+Tow-Gmtnu.—A 14. B. was charged ;
with forging and tittering Bills of Exchange, one for
415, two (or £lO. each, and one 14 £lB. drawn by
herself on a Mr. P. and purporting to be accepted
by him, which she discounted with Mr. Gleig,
baker in Hyde-street, Bloomsbury, who, when the
first became due, applied to Mr. P. for payment, but
' he declared that he never accepted them ; on which
Mr. Greig took the lady into custody. Mr. P. not
attending, the prisoner was remanded.
QuseN-suunitE.—Yesterday, Mr. Fox, an oilman,
of Mary-la-banne-street, was charged with having
sold to a boy some squibs and crackers on Fa iday last.
He was convicted and paid the penalty. •
UNWN• HALL —Thomas Sheaf and John Kelly, who
are in custody on a charge of shooting at and wound-
ing Mr. Salterley, on Christmas Day, whilst he was
going along the Kent.roid, on the top of one of the
Deptford stagts, were yesterday again brought be-
fore Mr. CHAMBERS ; and the Surgeon of Guy's I los-
pia!, having declared the wounded man out of dan-
ger, his brother, who attended, stated to the Magis-
trate, that being convinced there was nu malice on
the part of the prisoners, his brother had no wish to
prosecute them capitally.—The Magistrate obseived,
that the conduct of the prisoners, in thus carelessly
endangering the lives of his Majesty's subjects, was
highly criminal, and deserved punishment. If. the
prosecutor, in mercy, should forego the capital charge,
the prisoners were still liable on the charge for the
common assault. He should now require them to
find bail to answer that at the Sessions, and detain
them till that bail was found.

Maestote-House.—Yesterday Captahs busi:, of the
Bombay ship Caroline, wits re-examined, charged
by the Serang of the Lascars of his ship with the mur-
der of a Portuguese Indian, named Butler John.—
Zutican, a Lascar, stated, that he was along with
another on a stage over the ship's side scraping it, on
the day John was drowned. Witness and his com-
panion were at work on the starboard side of the ship,
and they could see into the Captain's cabin. John
went with his accounts ; and after some words the
Captain sent his servant for a caue. While he was
*gone Captain Finnie beat the deceased with his hands,
and threw him out of the cabin window. Zeyd, Cie
companion of the last witness, corroborated his testi-
mony. 1). De Souza, a Lascar, was at the wheel ;
he sew the deceased go into the cabin, and soon after
the door was locked. and he heard blows. In a little
time Captain Finnic came out rif his cabin, and told
witness to put the helm down in order to stop the
ship's way, which was done, and the .boat was lower-
ed down immediately.. Fernandez stated, that he
was in the cabin of Captain Wodehouse, who was a
passenger when this accident happened. lie ..vas
standing close to the bulk-head which separated Cap.
tain Wodehouse's cabin from that of Captain Finnie.
He heard blows, and afterwards some one fail into
the water. At this time no one was in the cabin but
Mrs. Wodehouse, who was in bed, and her Laccar
servant, who was assisting witness to clean the cabin.
Here the evidence against Captain Finnie was closed,
and Mr. Harmer, his solicitor, proceAled to call wit-
nesses in his behalf. Mrs. Wodehouse stated, thael
on, the morning that the Ll:Nees:el was drowned, she
was sitting upon a couch in her cabin, close by the
bulk-head which separated it front Captain Finnie's
cabin, her female servant was wit', hor, aria they were
both at work. She heard Butler Jelin, who was the
steward, go into Capt. Finnie's cabin ; she also heard
their conversation, but there was nothing in it unusual.
She heard no blows or struggling, which she was sure
she should have done if any had taken place; but
soon afterwards Captain Wodehouse came down, and
told her that Butler John had fallen overboard. Re-
becca Ashley, ervant to the last a:inlets:, corroho;
rated her mistress's • qtimony, as to hearing no blows.
Fernandez was nut .ten in the cabin ; but he had
been there an hour or two before.—Captain Wode.
house, an Officer on the Madras estatlishment,,
stated, that he was standing by the wheel, when Cap- •
tain F. came running out of his cabin, and said,
" For Goo's sake stop the ship." Captain F. imme.
diately ordereil the boat to be lowered .away, and
both were done as quickly as possible.—Mr. Gibson,
a medical gentleman, was on the poop, when Cap-
tain F. came running up, apparently very much
alarmed, and called out to lower the boat. All these
witnesses gave Captain F. an excellent character for
humanity towards his crew.—Mr. Grubb. who acted
as first Officer of the Caroline, scat: J, that on the
forenoon that John was (frowned, it was witness's
watch on deck. They were setting the fore-studding
sail, when Captain F. came on deck, and ord,ead the
ship's way to he stopped, as Jahn had jumped over-
board. It was done as soon as possible ; and the boat
hoisted out. The two first witnesses Were not scraping
the stet board side of the ship, but the larbuerd mac ;
and' he considered it impossible for either a them to
have seen a man thrown out of the cabin window.
These witnesses stated it to have been a standing
order of Captain F.'s dam n° man should be struck
by an Officer.; but that they should be corrected by
their own people. Captain F. never himself lifted
his hand fie any of his men. They also considered
it as next to impossible for any man to force :another
oat of the cabin window.—Gozee, a Lascar, stated,
that the Serang got the men to go to the owners of the
ship, on her arrival in England, and state, that they
would not serve under Captain F. The Serang's
reason was, because Captain F. had made him go
aloft to hand or reef the sails; which was a duty the
Serang thought hard, as he had never been ordered
to do it before. Witness never knew Capt. F. beat
'any of his crew. Several other witnesses were exa-
mined; and at four o'clock,' the Loan MAYOR said.
he should have the depositions transcribed fairly. and
read over to the w tnesses by a competent interpreter.
in order to arri. e at their meanings more correctly
than it had yet been done. The case was one of
great importance ; and, therefore, he felt himself
bound to demand sureties for Captain F.'s re-appear-
ance. Captain F. expressed the greatest anxiety that
the fullest investigation should take place, and the
further examination was postponed.

PIUMSTRIANISM.—A foot race was made over the
bottle at the 0. P. Coffee-house, Russell-court, on
Monday night, between two pedestrians, to run
against each other from thence to Hyde Park Corner
and return. The distance, which is three miles and
* half,
.was completed in 25 minutes by the winner.
The loser *as stopped by i-patrols in making play.

A MOST Authentic Proof of the very superior
1-1. efficacy of the truly Genuine GOWLAND's !AMON,
(prepared by Mr,. VINCENT, Sole Proprietor of Dr. Gew..
:Jinn's original Retipe), In II letter from W. DaAV MS, LCOp
MOO Hill, Bath :
1. to Mrs. VINCEN r, No. 6, Davles•street, Grosvenor-

square, Lon•loo.
" MADANII should think myself deficient in 4!uty to sozqery,
and you, were I to with'aold my public testimony to the gteat
efficacy of your GOWLAND's 1.0 'ION, which I have seen per..
formed by the administration of it in a case under my own roof.
" A young gentleman, aged about seven years son of a Colo-
nel in the army, was afflicted with a virulent and sore eruption,
accompanied with an intolerable itching in the wrists and lust psi
the complaint resisted various applications trona the muted coa-
-1 natation of three physicians of eminence, and continued to grow
worse under the regimen prescribed, whin a lady, who bad re.
ceived a cure of a very bad case of Scurvy in the face, of sever:/
years standing, by your (Y)WLAND'S I 0 I'ION. recommended
a trial of the .ante remedy. It was applied under my own
in-
spection—the disease gave way ; and three quartseof your Ltriots
performed a radical cure of a disorder, which had been of ati act
tour years duration, and had baliled tLi skill of sevixal physicals
eminent in their profession.
" Front my conviction of the above cure, I recommended
your GOWLAND'S I.() FION to a lady, whose face ext.i'otted
a very disagreeable treptiol, (even large plottiles, and as ono
died away another apinar )so much to a. to prohibit her go-
ing into company t a pint of your CON LA ND 'S 1.01.1014
cheered a cute, and she is now free from eruption.
