POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Four journeymen tailors were brought up in one body, and fined
51. each, for being drunk and disorderly ; and several others were
also brought up separately, and fined in a similar way.
The Loan Maros observed that be had more trouble with
Journeymen tailors than with any other class of persons, and added,
that if all the different journeymen in the City of London were
like the tailors, he should be compelled to sit from morning to
sight, and from night to morning, in order to inquire into their cases.
Immediately after this, a disorderly apprentice to a taller was
brought NS charged with throwing the shears at his master's head,
because the master chastised bins for neglecting his work.—The
apprentice, after being admonished, was discharged, on a promise
to behave better.

A decent-looking man, named Menitt, complained Were the
Loan Mayon of having been defrauded of a considerable sum of
money, under pretence of its being invested in a supposed Company,
called the " Cornwall and Devonshire Mining Company."—The
complainant held twenty 100/. shares, upon which he had paid ltd. '
per share, and he had now received a letter for a further call. The
complainant, in continuation, stated that be had already paid 5001.
the proceeds of his own hard labouri by investing it in these shares;
and, instead of the Company paying a dividend, u was held out to
him, he had every reason to believe that no steps had been taken
even to establish a Company.
The LORD hlavoa advised the compWnant to go to some honest
Attorney, and see what could be done in regard to getting hi,'
money back.

Two cues, which followed each other yesterday, poisoned rather
curious features. In the one, a man was committed for two months
for substituting fresh fish for stinking, and, in the second, another
was fined for substituting stinking fish for fresh. The first offender
was one of the mud-takers who claim the stinking fish thrown over
board as their perquisites, and he mistook a live cod, belonging to
a fisherman, for one of his own dead ones. The second was a sales-
man who sold stinking sons, with a strong recommendation as being
perfectly sweet.

THE ARMY.

It is currently reported, in the high military circles, that an ars
sangeni.nt is about to take place, very acceptable to the Army,
shewing the COAIMANDER.IN-CIII2F'S gracious disposition to Its in-
_ terests, whilst he recommends a reward for past services to the
needy het meritorious Officers who cannot get on by purchase.--
The outlines of the plan appear to be. that, in time of peace. for the
sake of regimental duty, the Brevet is not to go any further down
than the lieutenant•Cololonels ; but that in the other ranks there
14 in hr a promotion (as recently) on the half pay, viz Subalterns
having served 15 years or upwards (and Nine as Lieutenants) to be
Captains--Captains 21 years and upwards (and seven as Captains)
to he Nitjors—and Majors serving 2 years and upwards (fix as
Di4jors) to be LieutaiintsColonels on the half pay, from which
they are to he replaced in the service by those young and active
Offi era lately promoted; amongst whom the Field Officers are ge-
nerally those who have been Captains or Subaltern+ in the late war.
Thus old Officers rutting in the service will be promoted on the
half pay, from which the army will receive the young but ex-
perienced Field Officer+ now lounging about our streets and taverns.
Last week Lieutenant General Sir J. Bravo, K.C.B. Commander
of this district, inspected the temporary barracks at Bury, Hailing-
den. and Oldham, occupied by the 53d Regiment of Foot, and ex-
pressed his most unquAllified approbation of the judicious arrange-
ments by the troops, which, he said, reflected great credit on the
well-regulated system preserved in that corps; he also expressed
himself much pleased with the soldier-like appearance of the men.
The Grenadier Guards and the 39th Regiment of Foot have been
inspected at Manchester by the Hon. General Harris, who was
highly gratified at the general appearance of the men, particularly of
the Grenadier Guards, which is, we believe, one of the finest regi-
ments in the service.

Detachments belonging to the 4th and 13th Regiments of Light
Dragoons received orders to march this morning from Westminster,
for the Cavalry Depot at Maidstone. A Detachment belonging to
the 54th Regiment of Infantry is ordered to embark this morning
on board a steam vessel in the River, for Gravesend, on route to
Chatham. A Detachment belonging to the 6th Regiment of Foot
is ordered to embark this morning on board a steam vessel in the
River, for Gravesend, on route to Canterbury. A Detachment
belonging to the East India Company's Service is ordered to em-
bark this morning on hoard a steam vessel in the River, for Graves..
end, on route to Chatham.

The Transport Office is making arrangements to send out troops
to Jamaica, and 600 men will embark at Newry for that colony in
the course of next month.

THE MURDERS NEAR LEATHERHEAD.

• SURREY GENERAL QUARTER SESSIONS,
KINGSTON-(THIS DAY.)

These Sessions commenced this morning at the Town
Hall, Kingston, before HZDOER, Esq. and one of
the most crowded Benches ever witnessed. In fact, the
general body of the Surrey Magistrates were present.
There are on the present occasion a more than usual
number of prisoners for trial, principally from the East
Hundred of Brixton, and parts adjacent ; but the only
subject that engrosses attention, is the late horrible Mtn.,
der at Fetcham, near Leatherheall ; the perpetrators of
which, we have every reason to believe from what
transpired, will not elude justice for any lengthened pe-
riod. The Rev. Mr. Holland, whose active zeal reflects
so much credit on him, conjointly with the County
Magistrates, was on the Bench, and the witness Sheath,
and others, were in attendance. A consultation
took place on the horrid aimr in question, and some
fresh facts were made known, which tend strong.
ly to strengthen the suspicions already entertained
against certain persons. It was remarked, that the
feeling around Fetcham had received an increased sti-
mulus from the discovery made yesterday morning and
the previous evening, which was farther strengthened
last sight. The officers, Hall, Pople, and Grassmith,
having strictly searched the town haunts of the suspected
persons, returned and made the Magistrates acquainted
with the result of their enquiries, and of the nature of
the information they had received ; and the result was,
that Hall went off by post towards Brentwood, Pople to
Croydon, Maidstone, tic. and Grassmith in a third direc-
tion, which we, for certain reasons, abstain from men-
tioning at present, fearful it might thwart the ends of
justice. From the fact of the Magistrates not having
heard from the Officers, it was confidently expected that
such had been the exertions of the Officers, that they had
obtained fresh information on the road,and had proceeded
on. Up to 12 o'clock no intelligence had been received,
either at Kingston or at Union-hall, as to the result of
the pursuit; but from information obtained by the OE6-
' cers in London, and those around Fetcham, it was con-
jectured that the parties in pursuit of whom the Officers
have been sent off, had become alarmed, and in conse-
quence had taken different directions. In fact this is
the more likely, as neither of the Officers, who are in
possession of the most patticular description of their
persons, had returned.
Since writing the above, we have been informed that a
man answering the description of one of the men seen
in company with the female (lgainst whom strong sus-
picion attaches), was atLeatherhead fair,and was seen on
the Maidstone road. It is said Government will also
offer a reward for the apprehension of the offenders.—
When our Reporter left the Town Hall, Kingston, the
Magistrates were anxiously ass aitirg the arrival of a
communication from the Officers.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Yesterday Mrs. White, the wife of Charles Thomas White, who
was committed from this office for trial, some days ago, on a charge
of arson, applied to the Magistrate to be permitted to swcar to an
affidavit which she handed in, denying that she had ever made any
communication to, or held conversation with, Mr. Gore, the tailor
is Holborn, on the subject of the fires at her husband's house, as
Mr. Gore stated in his evidence at the final examination of the pri-
soner. The Magistrate, however, declined swearing her to the
affidavit.

John Provence, aged LS, was charged with attempting to set fire
to the d4ughterhouse of Mr. Horner, in aare-market. The buy,
. .

_ . •
on being placed at the bar, was recognized as being the rival of
Wedgbury's celebrated dog Billy, and of rat glling notoriety.
It appeared from the statement of Mr. Homer, that on Saturday
evening his tnreman discovered a smoke issuing from the slaughter-
house, and knowing they had no fire ill the place, be proceeded to
the spot, and discovered the boy, and one much less, in the shush.
ter-house, and a quantity of straw on fire; the prisoner stated, he
vas engaged' in procuring rats, and had stuffed some straw inter the
'lades, but his brother holding the candle too near to it, bad set

it on fire. The foreman then let him go away; but sbnut tyre*.
o'clock be again found him in the place, and he gave him into at,.
tody ; by what means he had entered the place he was net abl, to
discover.

This human rat killer said he wanted some rats to kill, and
knowing the slaughter-house to be a good place to catch &cm, be
went there.

His father said, that be had a propensity for killing rats from 1,4
infancy, but be was a very honest boy, and had nu other motive ill
going there than what he stated.

Mr. Roc—lf you ►ad, instead of encouraging his propensity..
sent him to school, and caused him to comprehend even the tom.
monest ideas, you would have done part •f your duty by hiss;
whereas, now he rises not above his canine rival, for a more stupid
boy I never met with. Mr. Homer must enter his charge apint
him, and his foreman must attend to give his evidence, for I shall
snake him find securities for his good behaviour.
QUIZEN-SQUA RP.

Henry Shields was fully committed, charged with stealing a slatwl
from the shop of Mr. Hopkins, a linen draper, in the Broadway
Westminster.
Elizabeth Flack, upwards of 90 yearn of age, and who had eels
dently seen better days, was placed at the bar, having been fauna
sleeping on the steps of a door the previous night.
She said, she had been a widow fifty years, and had come to
London in the reign of George IL She was allowed half-a-creme
a week by the parish ; and the Landlord of the Duke of 'Vora, at
Chelsea, bad desired her to call frequently upon him; and Athtlty
or no money she could have a pint of beer ; she had taken a pint,
and supposed it had made her drowsy ; her husband had been once
a tradesman in a large way of business ; she lived at No. 24, St.
Ann's-lane, Westminster.
The Magistrate remarked, it was humane of the watchman to
have taken care of her, and discharged her.

WORSHIP-STREET.

J. Siarstas was charged with assaulting B. Smith, a watehmin,
during an Irish row on Sunday night, at the top of Grub•street,in
Chimell-street. It appeared, however, that the witchman was
drunk, the prisoner was discharged, and old Cerberus severely re.
primanded by the Magistrate.
Jane Cameron, a fair frail one, was charged with robbing It. Clif-
ford, of 14s. The complainant inquired of the damsel his sir.), to
Whitechapel, when she took the opportunity of abstracting the
above sum from his pocket. On being taken to the watch-house,
she denied the fact ; but the constable being an expert accouchesr,
on perceiving a swelling in her cheek, put his angers into her mouth,
and safely delivered it of two half-crowns and 9s. but, as Warts.
nately the cash could not be sworn to, she was dischat ged.

lIA M BURG H, DEMISE% IS.

(Another Papervsays the 10th.)
It is affirmed that a great Power has transmitted,
through its Ambassadors, a circular note to the other
European Powers of the first rank, in which it makes
them acquainted with the manner in which it views
the attempts of Silveira and the other Portuguese
malcontents. It invites them, at the same time,
frankly to declare their opinion on the subject. It is
added, that the Power in question has not concealed in its
now that the suspicious conduct of Spain, with re-
spect t) Portugal, might induce it to lend assistance to
its old Ally, not to take part in its internal discords,
but only to enable a legitimate Government recog.
nized by all the European Powers, except one, to re-
pel an attack which, according to all appearance, must
have been favoured by foreigners ; and that, far from
desiring to kindle war on the Continent by this step,
it wi3hes the other Powers to offer their good offices
to prevent it: and in this case the declaration above
asked seems the most suitable means.

Mr. Cradock was buried, by his particular desire, in the parish
where he died, which was St. Mary-le-Strand.—The funeral 'service
was performed by the Rev. Gerrard T. Andrewes, son of Mr.
Cradock's old friend, the late Dean of Canterbury.
Mr. Cradock just lived to publish the second volume of his
" Literary Memoirs." There Is something affecting In his farewell
apology to his readers, that his volume had been completed with
great labour and anxiety, and that, at 85, he should. certainly at-
tempt no further effort ; but this became doubly affecting when
the band which penned it was soon after laid in the grave. Mr.
Cradock was a very amiable, respected, and highly-gifted individual,
had great powers of conversation, and was a fine specimen of the
complete Gentleman of the last age, having always mixed in the
first circles.

ate attached. Undoubtedly the Chamber had a right,
to do so. But the public has also a right to know the
efforts which some of the Deputies it has chosen make
to obtain from the Ministry the ioformation which pub-
lic opinion requires. We shall therefore lay before our
readers the series of questions which M. Casimir Per-
rier intended to make from the tribune, and which he'
has been so good as to communicate to our Journal.
In order to understand this paragraph of the speech
from the Throne—,. Troubles have recently broken out
in a part of the Peninsula ; I shall unite my efforts to
those of my Allies to put an end to them, and prevent
their consequences,"—the Hon. Member intended to ask
the Minister to lay upon the table of the Chamber-
1. The declaration made by England en the late troubles which
have bteken out in Portugal, which was communicated to France,
as well as to all the great Powers of the Continent.
2. The documents which shew that the Spanish Authorities
ordered to disarm the Portuguese refugees have co-operated in the
entrance of these same refugees into the territory of PortugaL
3. Copy of the invitation made by the French Government to
that of Spain, to induce it to respect its engagements with England,
as well as the answers and promises of Spain.
4. The ultimatum of France, or the last Note presented to the
Spanish Government, before orders were given to the French Am-
bassador to withdraw.

PARIS, Dye 22 •_ • _

The Bordeaux Journals of the 19th speak vaguely
of the occupation of Oporto by the Portuguese insure
gents under Silveira. The Indicateur has some doubts
of this event, which the Memorial positively asserts, and
pretends that the Constitutional Generals, Claudino
and Correa de M 110, are now wandering on the banks
of the Douro, pursued by the peasants, who have taken
from them 200 waggons.

ANOTHER CALAMITOUS FIRE AT 13EISTOL.

Friday morning, another most destructive fire broke
out on the premises occupied by Messrs. Lediard, Jones,
and Mortimer, dry salters, at the back of Tucker-street,
overlooking the Float, Bristol. It was discovered by
an alarm from the watchman, about a quarter past five
o'clock, and the materials in the warehouses being many
of them of a combustible nature, and the floors of each
tier saturated with sugar, a conflagration ensued, such
as was never witnessed by the oldest inhabitant in the
city. The flames were at times seen to ascend far above
the height of the church steeples. In the space of two
hours, the whole range of warehouses was a heap of
ruins, the walls only remaining. Fortunately, the
counting-house was saved, together with all account
books and papers. The adjoining premises of Messrs.
Rickett: porter brewery, the Pilgrim public-house, and
Messrs. Sanders' extensive premises, including the
Saving Banks, were all preserved by the great exertions
of the neighbours and Gentlemen who attended, aided
by the difierent fire engines; although through want of
proper pipes, or some other means, it was long before
a sufficient supply of water could ber obtained, notwith-
standing the float washed the banks of the premises.
No account can be given how it originated. The
only fires were in the dwelling-house adjoining the
premises, which remains apparently uninjured. The
workmen who locked the doors asserted that all was

perfectly safe when they quitted, at a quarter past nine
o'clock. It is generally believed that the premises were
entered by thieves, who had lately committed depreda•
tions in the warellothes situated on the bank of the
floating harbour, and whether by accident or design, i
they set the premises on fire,• cannot at present be as•
certained. The loss of property, we understand, to be
about 20,000/. 18,0001. of which is said to be covered
by insurance.
Monday evening, the town of Perth, was thrown into
commotion by the extensive work premises of Mr. Beath,
upholsterer, being on fire. The entire tenement
was consumed.

The commercial intelligence from Russia. Holland,
and Hamburgh, b most favourable. A good deal of
business is doing, and much is expected from the en-
suing season.
Yesterday afternoon, a Gentleman named Perry, a
hop.merchant, residing in Tooley-street, in the Borough,'
a Member of the Society of Friends, was thrown from
his horse in the Strand, and dislocated his neck. He was
taken up quite senseless, and carried to the shop of Mr.
Snitch, the surgeon, in Bt ydges•street, where every pos-
sible attention was paid him, but there are no hopes en-
tertained of his recover y. The- unfortunate Gent!cman
was afterwards conveyed bottle.

lowing complaint to the LORD MATORA A few dip since he re.
celved a letter from a Mr. Joseph Adey, stating that be could gke
him some important information relative to certain unclaimed ditria
dents to which he had a tick, and that his fee for his trouble Would
be a sovereign. Witness afterwards saw him, and gave him a
sovereign; but, on ioquiry, entertained
,there was no truth in his
statement, and that he had been duped. He applied to have his
money back, which, however, Mr. Adey refused to give him, and
he therefore hoped his Lordship would km a summons to compel
him to do so.

The Loan Mayor saidohat several similar applications had been
made to the late Lord Mayor, but were productive of no good/
u when once the money got into Mr. A.'s hands, there was very
little chance of ever getting it b.ck again. He, however, granted
