BOW-STREET.

Yesterday Mr. Thomas, the Superintendent of Police of the
letter F division, came before SIR RICHARD BIRWIE and Mr.
HALLS, accompanied by a respectably-dressed young woman and
two fine children, and stated that he had to call the attention
of their Worships to a very distressing case. The young female
before them was the wife of Inspector Ouseley, of his (Mr.
Thomas's) division, who was a young man of superior education,
and the son of r General in the Army. She was the daughter
of a person in very humble life, and the marriage gave so
much offence to his father that he discarded him, but subse.
gamily used his interest to procure him an appointment as In.
specter of Police. By the death of a female relauon lately he be.
came possessed of about 1,2001 and on Saturday last applicant
was much surprised at finding him absent from his post at the time
that he ought to have come on duty, having always found him re.
markably punctual. He sent to his wife, who was equally sur.
prised, as he had left her at an early hour in the morning for the
purpose of going on duty. Some alarm fur his safety was excited,
and he (Mr. Thomas) was engaged in making inquiries respecting
him, when be received information from Mr. Kidder, a highly re.
spectable silversmith In the Strand, that his daughter, who had not
attained her twentieth year, had absconded from her home, and that
he had strong reasons for believing she had gone of with Inspector
Ouseley, between whom and the family some degree of intimacy
had subsisted. Applicant made further inquiry, and ascertained
that Ouseley had on Thursday last drawn the whole of the money
mentioned above from his banker's, and learned also from a private
source of information that he had left London with Miss Kidder In
a chaise and four soon after he quittted his wife and children on Ss.
turday morning. Be had left them without any means whatsoever
of subsistence, and she was now compelled to apply to their Wor-
ships for an order upon the parish officers of St. Martin-in-the.
Fields to take them into the workhouse.

Mrs. Ouseley, in WHIM to IL question from Sir RICHARD, said
she had been married to him six years; and that they lived happily
together until lately. She appeared much afflicted.
Six R. Bimini said the case was really a very distressing one,
and immediately gave an order, o ink that he hoped the parish
airmen would do all they could to ap Ouseley for deserting
his wife and children.

Mr. Thomas said there was every reason to believe that he and
the companion of his flight had before now reached the Continent.
Mr. T. added, that Mr. Kidder and his family were in a truly
pitiable state of grief at the unhappy occurrence.
The order upon the parish was then made out.
Two young Jews, named Lasarus and Lawrence, were brought
up on suspicion of having been concerned in robbing the shop of
Mr. Rogers, a baker, of Hammersmith, 0(521. on Moods,/ se'mught.
On the evening of day mentioned, Mr. Rogers expected his
mealman to call for money due to him, and he gave his wife 581 in
bank-notes and sovereigns before he went out, in order that she
might be prepared. She placed it, wrapped up in a paper, in the till,
behind the counter. The prisoners, and a third man, were seen
standing by the window when she did this. The two former soon after
entered the shop and offered Mrs. R. some pens for sale, and,:while
in conversation, the third man entered, and purchased a biscuit, and
was observed to lean across the counter. They all went out together,
and in a short time after the money was missed. The prisoners were
pursued and apprehended, bat none of the money found upon them.
The third mac was seen to mount a coach, and was not overtaken.
The robbery was rendered the more remarkable by the circumstance
that Sir R. Bimie, with Sir John Scott Lilly, and six other Ma-
gistrates, were holding a Petty Sessions at the Bull and Anchor
Inn, opposite to Mr. Rogers' house at the time, and that several
constables were standing about the door. On Good Friday Mr.
Rogers received the following precious morcesu by the three-penny
post, the reading of which in the office created great merriment :
April 9, 1830.
" St=,—l have to inform you that your health has been drank
with three, upstanding and uncovered, by the party that had the
luck to get the few pounds out of your till. We likewise drank the
health. of the vigilant constables of Hammersmith and its vicinity,
wishing that there may be a Petty Session every week and the con-
stables as drunk as they were on that day. The best way you can
do to regain the above sum will be to make an extra dead man a.
day, which will soon make you all right. Yours was a very lucky
hit, as I had not the price of a pint of porter at the time. I shall
visit Hammersmith again very soon, and if I have any luck I will
treat you to a bottle of the best wine the Bull and Anchor can af-
ford, and the wide-awake officers of the above place shall have a
drain of gin. The ;blunt is now nearly half gone, or I would send
you half a dual of wine to drink my health.
" Your obedient Servant,
" ONE OF THE NEw POLICE IN DISOUISZ."
The prisoners denied any'Anowledge of the robbery.
UNION-HALL.
A youth, between 'titan and seventeen yeses of age, was brought
before the magistrates to have an order of affiliation made upon him,
for the maintenance of an illegitimate child. The mother appeared
to be about sixteen years older than the lad. She said they were re.
siding in the same house together when the misfortune happened to
her. The boy, on being asked whether he had any thing to say,
held down his head, and looked quite sheepish. The constable said
he had admitted that the connection existed between them. The
magistrates said that the woman was the seducer, anti not the se-
duced, and recommended the parish officers to institute proceedings
against ha as a lewd woman. The parish officers promised to attend
to the recommendation. The order was made.
THAMES POLICE.
Samuel Jewett, a dredgerman, was charged with stealing a num-
ber of awn sacks from various granaries. A Thames Police of-
ficer, named Gallsworthy, having received information that the
prisoner was in the habit of plundering the granaries of corn
sacks, proceeded to his lodgings in Bermondsey, and in a large
room found what appeared to him, at first bight, to be a large
carpet on the floor, but which, on closer inspection, he discovered
to be a number of corn sacks cut open, and afterwards stitched
together, and then painted over, so as to appear as a com-
plete carpet. The floor of another room was covered in the same
manner. On close observation, however, the names and initials of
ghe owners could be discovered, and who identified them as their pro-
perty.—The prisoner, in his defence, said he found the sacks at
various times, and intended to restore them to their owners ; but his
wife would not allow him to do so, and used them instead of carpets.
Mr BALLANTYNE said the prisoner must stiffer for the petticoat
influence, and fined the defendant 541:t. The sacks were ordered to
be restored to their owners.

Tuesday evening a man, named White, while in a
state of Intoxication, fell into the river, near London-bridge. Some
persons instantly hastened to his assistance, and got him out ; but
life appeared to be wholly extinct. Some policemen instantly car-
ried him to the station, in Southwark-bridge-road, while he sas
laid on warm blankets, and the usual remedies were applied to re.
store animation. Four policemen set to work to rub his body, and
a medical gentleman stood by to direct the operation. In the course
of half an hour the patient evinced signs of life, and in less than
half an hour more he was pronounced out of danger.
