POLICE.

MANSION Minn.,' he Board of Admiralty dal the
Lard Alayer...The conduct of the Lord Mayor with
respect to the distressed sailors of foreign nations bas
met with the disapprobation of Government. He has
received a communication from the Board of Admi-
ralty, informing him, that his services, so far as they
regarded foreign or British seamen in dans, ereeld
be beamforteard dispensed with.
Already there are amongst the poor sailers op
board the Helder upwards of one hundred mei SF
'colour, who ere wholly destitute of the means etre.
turning to. their native enentry s and the letter stalei,
as one of the reasons for abridging the power which
his Lordthip hat hitherto meretsed, that all those
sailors have had opportunities of retuning ethieb
they disregarded. The other motive for taking the
Helder out of the jurisdiction of the Chief Magi e
.4 that th 6 ship is so much crowded es to bum
denser of contagious diseases. There was one t,
of the letter with which the Lou MAYOR es
himself satisfied, namely, that in which the -
ralty stated that they would look to the access; ". of
these poor sailors, and, in order to secure them Niesw
such hazard as was apprehended, fit out a ship at
Blackwell for the receptive of the sick.
The Loan MAYON, upon receiving this letter, ex.
sewed very &mu surprise. He bad perhaps, he ob-
served, ushtep too much mercy with his dety s.
bet whatever was the fault be felt himself happy that
they wereawakened at the West End to a sense of
the miseries that prevailed in the East. The Admi-
ralty had taken from him the eouaolatioa of directing
a temporary relief for the poor sailors s but he would
take care that the Noble Lords should have every
opportunity of exercising their beasenity, for every
sailor that was found begging in the streets of the
city of London should be sent before them
A Aegean, residing at Tower-bill, appeased to
answer the compitint of a poor seaman, named
Langley, who stated, that be had just returned to
this country, alter on absence of many years, and
had brought with him just as much as would support
bias foe the short time he might be unemployed.,
Oa Thursday lase; while passing Towerldl, he fill
in with anal ship Mate, and they retired toils, house
of the defendant, where they called for a pet of beer.
Atirl, apparently the servant, immediately brought
it, and asked for the money. The complainant, not
having change, tendered her a Bank mote foe Ails
and she told-him that her mistress would send him
the change in a few minutes. The landlady herself.
appeared and demanded the money. for the beer.
The complainant replied, that be had given the note
in payment, and was much surprised in not receiving'
the change. The woman instantly said be was im-
posed upon, and that the girl described had nothing
to do with her house as a servant. The defendant,
being also applied to, made a similar declaration...*
This statement was eonfumed.
The Loan MAYON inquired of M. Kinnersley, the
officer of that district, whether the girl was known
The latter replied in the affirmative, and added, be
would make an exertion to find her. The LORD
MAYOR thought the defendant in this ease had sm.
aerated himself, and regretted he could do no more
for the complainant than to order the officer to make
a diligent search for the girl.
GUILDHALL.—Join Neale, a distressed mechasie,
was brought up tor a seeded examination, charged
by Davis, one of the turnkeys of Newgatei.with ohs
'sanding charity in a violent and threatening manner.
It appeared that the defendant met Davis in Bridge-
street, ,Blackfriars, aid stopped him, craving charity.
He said he was a mechanic out of employ, and that
he had walked_from Malign to Loodell in a sianiog

counties. tegabit.vras not *tenant
Ito because more importunate, and actually demanded
minty, raising his arm, sod threatening to strike the
complainant en the head ; Davis then gave him in
charge.—Mr. Alderman SMITH reminded the unfor-
tunate man, that whatever his distresses might have
been, there was n• justification of threats; demanding I
money with menaces, was nothing short of highway
robbery.—The prisenerdeclared he had no intention to
resort to threats.—lt did not appear that Davis was
in the Justice-room to support the charge, and under
all the circumstances, the prisoner was dismissed, nu
a promise to quit London immediately.
Bow-mem—William Brennan was charged with
stealing a quantity ot lead, the property of Mr.
Northcroft, law stationer, in Chancery-lane, which
was affixed to his dwelling-houses. It appeared th4t
the roof of the prosecutor's house had been frequently
I plundered ot the lead, and yesterday morning, ab-ut
eight o'clock, the prisoner was seen coming out of
the house next door but one to the prosecutor's,
A rush basket. He was followed to an old irnu shop
in Fetter.lane, where he was secur,d with the lead
in question in the basket, ‘eliich exactly fitted the
toot. There were also tracks from the prosecutos%
root to the trapdoor of the house, out of which the
prisoner was seen to come. He was fully committed
La trial.

William Crowder, who was examined last week upon
suspicion of being concerned in robbing Messrs.
Royde and Brockbank, of Bucklersbury, of woollen
cloths, amounting to nearly i7OO, was brought up
and discharged, in consequenceof some doubtshaving
arisen in the mind of the Attorney for the prosecu-
tion,, as to the competency of the evidence adduced
against the prisoner.
A boy of the name of Robles, who was committed
a few days since on a charge of attempting to cut his
mother's throat, when she refused to conceal him
from being taken into custody for a robbery, under-
went another esaminatioa it was grievous to observe
his hardened state—the confinement he underwent
not appearing to have had the least good impression
upon him. His mother attended overwhelmed in
tears, and stated, that she had procured an admission
to the Society. called the Refuge tor the Destitute,
from Mr. Butterworth, M.P. The boy was conveyed
, thither by the constable.
Maat.soaourau-traarr.—Henry Lees and Charles
Pam", reputed thieves. were charged with picking
the pocket of Mr. Butler yesterday, in Compton-
street, between twelve and one o'clock. Furzeman,
a St. Giles's Constable, had watched the prisoners,
whom be well knew, from Seven Dials. He MY/
Varney get Mr. Butler's handkerchief nearly out of
his pocket when the Officer seized him. Lees was
acting in concert with him, and also a boy, who was'
shuffling between the prisoner Varney and the object
of his attacks. but the boy escaped. Lees seized the
Officer by the throat, and endeavoured to rescue
Varney. At the Office they pretended not to know
each other, until Furaeman brought an unwelcome
fact to their recollections. Fully committed.
HATTON GARDll6.—Yesterday ;Villiers Grace was
brought sr for exeinisation, charged by Mr. Joseph
Mello. lJobnastreet, on inspicien of
hat% d with others in burglariously
wowing his dwelling-house on the 18th of December

derly wane, who hawks fish about the streets, was
char/ Elisabeth Pond, a blind woman residing
at 4 Ducklaaa, Westminster, with robbing her
of a gown, a silk shawl, a straw bonnet, and vaginas
ether middle wearing IMp ire!, amounting to up.
wards of 45. It appeared by the evidence of Re-
beets rood, a girl about 13 years of age, sister to
the prooseeteiv. that on the 27th of December, wit-
Deis ansompanied her sister to their mother's house
at Choting-cross. and on their return home about
seven o'clock in the evening, they met prisont r, who
represented bertellto be in such deep distress, that
prosecuttix, moved with compassion, took her twine,
and gave her some tea and bread and butter; after
which the prisoner took an opportunity of committing
the robbery.—Fully committed for trial.
Usury HALL.— Price was brought up for
re-examination, charged with stealing a quantity of
scented soap, confectionary, mustard, &e. the pro-
perty of Messrs. Bowling, perfumes, of Kent-street.
It now appeared, that the prisoner had occupied the
lower apartments of a house adjoining the back part
of the prosecutor's premises; the upper part was let
to other. lodgers. Some days ago, one of Messrs.
Bowling's servants observed that several bricks in
the wall of the warehouse were loose, and on closer
investigation he discovered there was a communication
throogh to the next house. He informed his master ;
Hall, the officer, was sent for, and the bricks being
removed, they entered the lien house, where they
discovered the articles in question. which the prose-
cutors were able to swear IS, as being their property.
l'be prisoner was accordingly apprehended. The
landlord -of the house where the prisoner resided
also attended. and produced upwards of 200 small
tin boxes for holding confectionary, which he found
. on the premises of the prisoner, when he seized fur
.rent, and which the prosecutors now swore to. as
'being their property. It appeared also, that the pri-
soner had in part paid for a cart which he had pur-
chased, with scented soap.—The prisoner did not
deny the charge, and' he was fully committed for
trial at the Assizes.
