POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

M ANSI° N-HOUSE.

Yesterday, Mr. J. Taylor, the Secretary of the Real Del Monte
Mining Company, attended with several of the Directors, and beg-
ged permission of the Loan Mama to be heard in contradiction of
the statement made before his Lordship, by Dobell, the workman.
Mr. Taylor stated, that they were anxious to contradict the state..
ment made before his Lordship by Dobell ; but chiefly to set at rest
the minds of the relatives of those who had gone out, as to their
safety. The reason for the discharge of Dobell was his continued
Into:leaden. He got drunk at Madeira, :did was found in a state of
insensibility, with his collar boos fractured, and a severe canto don
Upon his head. The authorities for this statement were extracts from
letters addressed by Captain Lye°, R.N. (the Commissioner in
charge of the party with whom Dobeli went to Mexico), to him,
Mr. Taylor.—Mr. Taylor further said, that the continued intoxi-
cation in which Dobaii indulged, and the plireuxy it appeared to
I produce, rendered it necessary to discharge him. The correctness
of his statements, with respect to the Mines of Real del Monte,
might be judged of by the fact, that although he landed at a port in
Mexico, be sever was at the Minis he undertook to describe, nor
within at least 200 miles of them, bat was 'sought back to England
lin the same ship which took him out. His statements relative to
the murder of 20 of the party on the coast, and the death of 50 of
the miners by drowning, were entirely the creation of his fancy—
nothing of the kind had occurred.
His Loupesu said, the complaint of Dobell was, that be had not
only been refused the payment of the money that be said was due
Ito him (to which, however, he bad undoubtedly disentitied himself),
but that be had been sent away without even his complaints being
noticed.

Mr. Taylor assured his Lordship, that, upon the ma'am* made
out by Captain Lyon, Dohsll had bees paid 15i. more than he was
entitled to.

Hie Leaman said, that this was no more than be expected, from
the very respectable names at the head of the Company. He was
confident that they bad done all that justice required, and was per-
reedy satisfied.—The Secretary and Directors then retired.
Nine blacks were brought before the Loss Mayo*, for having
paraded the streets with white turbans mask heads, and placards
on their backs.

Mr. Brown, the Marshal, said, that the *cards set forth the
merits and charms of a young American Ile:nest, who was seven
feet high, though but eighteen years of age. They stated that she
was exhibited under the patronage of his Lordship. A crowd of
persons was collected round the nine blacks, and the Officers con-
ceived that, although the Lord Mayor might have sanctioned the ex-
hibition, he never would countenance such a mode of advertising it.
Mr. Tadman, the ward of the young Lady, and proprietor of the
exhibition, said, that he had seen white men carrying boards of this
description through the streets, and he was not aware that any
person whether white or black, might not walk through the streets
with Whatever dress he pleased.
1 The Loan Mieoa said, that neither white nor black men coyld
be allowed to pursue this mode of advertising, which crested ob.
'unctions In the streets. He intimated, that if it were repeated, he
should enforce the law against them.
The sable train were dismissed, on Mr. Tadman's promise that
they should not again parade the streets in that manner.

nant, and was fully committed for trial.

HATTON-GARDEN.

Mrs. Mary Jana and Mrs. Sarah Wood, two respectable looking
matrons, the co.stewardesses of a club, called " The Sisters of
Friendship," were brought before Mr. Sergeant Salami, yesterday,
to *hew cause why they acne/eked Mrs. Jane Roberts, one of the
sisterhood.

The complainant said, that she had been paying Into the society
for several years, and although sbe was one of the olden Members,
the stewardesses thought proper to fine her thirteen shillings, which
she refusing to pay, they took upon them to scratch her off the
Society's books.
Mrs. Jones, the senior stewardess, attempted to justify the de-
cision. She was in the Chair on the night that it was levied, and
she never saw mere gross impropriety than what Mrs. Roberts
manifested on the occasion. 111 assure your Worship that she
was most shamefully intosticated, and she would not let one living
soul talk but herself."

Sergeant Set.nott—l suppose you were ail talking together ?
Mrs. Jones—Oh, dear no, Sir; I was calling " silence" till I
was hoarse again.
Sergeant Ssu.ox called for the rules, which were as follows
4' Any member who speaks out of her turn shall forfeit three-
pence.—Any member who speaks after being called to order by
the Chairwoman, or Stewardess, shall forfeit sixpence. Any
memberfightnsg in the room, sisall forfeit two shillings and six-
pence. Any member coming three times drunk into the clubroom,
shall forfeit ten shillings. Any member refusing to pay fines, shall
be expelled by majority of votes."
It appeared, however, that in the present instance, the Stew-
ardesses had dispensed with the arbitration clause, and sat is judg-
ment on the delinquent themselves, without giving her the benefit
of Trial by Jury.
Sergeant Szuton would not sanction this proceeding, and ordered
the complainant to be restored to all the privileges, rights, and im-
munities of the society, with which order the Stewardesses re-
luctantly promised to comply.
Yesterday an old man, named Joseph nytor, together with his
wife and son, were charged with preparing for circulation different
denominations of spurious colas, purporting to be the genuine cur-
rency of the country.
The prisoners were apprehended in the neighbourhood of Wal-
worth, and furor Rut of a gang who carry on the traffic to a great
extent, embracing not merely the Metropolis. hut in confederation
with smaller parties, who travel all over the Kingdom, distributing
1 the issues of this Mint.

The execution of the die is so ingenious as to puzzle the inspector
of coins, and the process by which the metal is coloured is decidedly
a new one. The finished shilling, or half crown, would elude the
most rigid examination, so far as external appearances go, but whe
compared with the genuine coin, they are much lighter. The senior
male prisoner is an old hand, who has eluded the vigilance of the
police, who have been in pursuit of him for some time.

which gives it a durability of colour hitherto unattainable.
The prisoners made no defence, and were fully committed for
trial, on the capital charge, at the next Surrey Assizes.
MA TILBOROUGH-STRRRT.

Thomas Cassidy, an Irishman, was charged with rending hewn
letters to the Dowager Lady Liverpool. The prisoner left a letter
for her Ladyship, which, not being attended tu, he Jeweled bee
Ladyship in the street, and insisted that his letters should be re.
turned, and he should be relieved. Several letters were found upon
him, in one of which be represented himself as an officer in the
army, and in another as a professional Gentleman in very reduced
circumstances. A number of the letters 'finished with the following
curious sentence:—" Besides hoping you every welfare in this
world, your petitioner hopes that you may inherit, as well as your
family, a crown of eternal glory. There were also a number of
certificates, purporting to be from General Sir John Doyle, Colonel
of the 87th, in which regiment the prisoner has served ; and two
letters from the Lord Mare, to admit him into S.iint Thomae's
Hospital. The prisoner, who was well known to the Officers of the
Mendicity Society, was ordered to be passed to his native country.
Eight well-known characters, Goer, Donovan, Booker), Harris,
Haynes, James, Brayley, and Lancaster, were apprehended by Furze.
man, Riordan, and a few watchmen, in the White Hart public.
house, in the Coal-yard, Drury-lane, between eleven and twelve
o'clock on Monday night.
Fureeman stated that he had warned the landlord a month ago
of the characters who came to his house, as he knew them all by
having routed them from a noted flash house in Belton-street, Lone
Acre. The landlord treated his admonition' with contempt, and
suffered them still to assemble. Lately they bad a raffle at his
house for a man named Smith, of whom he was in search for a
felony, but did not succeed in taking. Monday night he had a club
in his up-stairs room, at which the landlord presided. Ahout half.
past eleven on the same night he was sent for to quell a fight that
had ensued there, as the watchmen were afraid to go in ; itideed, it
would have been dangerous for one or two to attempt an entrance.
They had come down stairs, and had commenced an indiscriminate
fight in the tap-room. He succeeded in taking the eight, but five
others got away from him.

AU the prisioners, except two, stated themselves to be out of cot.
ploy. Glover was the fiddler, who collected a penny from each
for a dance; he had been fiddling all the afternoon—there were
women as well as men. Haynes said be was a Turner, which gave
occasion to Dan Riordan to say, " Yes, yes, you turn out the pockets
of a night, in the Strand." They were all ordered to Ind bail.
Sullivan, the landlord, was ordered to be indicted. Informations
are taken out against bins, which are to be heard on Friday.
Mary Monk, Mary Ann Hughes, and Corporal Palmer, of the
Riding Establishment, were charged by Lacy, the beadle of S.
Gesrge's, the two former as common street walkets, and the latter
with interrupting Lacy in the execution of his duty.
It appeared Lacy went into a cook's shop, in Shepherd street on
Monday night, where the three prisoners were at supper; some
unpleasant remarks were nude on both sides that induced Lacy to
go back to the house with a watchman to clear the perbons out.
Marsh and Hughes said Lacy came in with two women (!inn
Bryan and Ann Harris), who had that day been bailed out of Tothill
Fields; that he supped with them, went out with them, and then
came back to the house to apprehend them as disorderly.
Corporal Palmer wanted to know what was the charge against him?
Lacy failed in substantiating any thing except abuse.
The waiter of the cook's shop was sent for ; he said the soldier,
another man, and the two females, were having supper, when the
beadle came in with two women ; he ordered two plates of meat
and three knives and forks, and ate with them ; he paid Is. 3d. and
went away, after which he returned, desired to be let in, as an offi-
cer, thrust his staff in the face of his master, took away the prisoners,
and at the watchlouse desired his girls to go away, but detained
the others.

Mr. Comm. said the conduct of Lacy was such that be bad made
himself liable to an indictment; he had no business to go into the
house to clear it, as it was not a public house ; and surely could not
say he was on his duty while supping with the girls. He should
discharge the prisoners.
A Captain of the Riding Establishment, and the Officer of Cor-
poral Palmer, desired him to surrender himself to the guard, and
was sure Colonel Taylor would prosecute. He himself chanced to
be going to Bond-street at the time, and saw part of the transaction;
he sent to the watch house to hear the charge ; at first Lacy bad
none against the Corporal, and then thought of charging the man
with interrupting him in the execution of his duty.
