POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW STREET.
In consequence of the report of the case of the three boys named
Davis, who were brought to this Office on Wednesday by a Ken.
sington constable, a Gentleman waited on Sir R. Btattta to ascer-
tain if the facts were true. Sir RICHARD satisfied the Gentleman
that they were s'rictly so; upon which he banded a guinea to the
Magistrate for the use of the boys, and also a sovereign for the poor
box. He however declined to give his name. In some little time
afterwards the boys were brought into the office, and received front
the Nlagistrate 7s. each, with which they were desired to proceed
to Bristol, when, on applying to the Overseers, something would
be done for them. Ford, promised to obtain for them a free con-
veyance.

EXTRAORDINARY RIPRIIIIIINT.—An experiment was
lately made at the New Tivoli, at Paris, to ascertain
the degree of heat it is possible for a man to bear, in
the presence of a company of about two hundred per.
sons, amongst whom were many professors, :avail., and
physiologists, who had been specially invited to attend
by the physician Robertson, director of this establish-
ment. The man on whom this experiment was made,
is a Spaniard, of Andalusia, named Martinez, aged 43
years. A cylindrical oven, constructed in the shape of
a dome, had been heated for four hoop, by a very
powerful fire. At ten minutes past eight the Spaniard,
having on large pantaloons of red flannel, a thick cloak
also of flannel, and a large felt, after the fashion of
straw hats, went into the oven, where be remained,
seated on a footstool, during 14 minutes, exposed to a'
heat of from 45 to 50 degrees if a metallic thermome-
ter, the gradation of which did not go higher than
fifty. He sung a Spanish song while a fowl was roasted
by his side. At his coming out of the oven, the phy-
sicians found that his pulse beat one hundred and thirty-
four pulsations a minute, though it was but seventy-two
at his going in. The oven being heated anew for a
second experiment, the Spaniard re-entered. and seateJ
himself in the same attitude, at three quarters past
'eight, ate the fowl, and drank a bottle or wine to the
health of the spectators. At coming out his pulse was
176. and the thermometer indicated a heat of .110 de-
grees of Reaumur. Finally, for the third and last ex-
, periment, which • almbst 'immediately, followed the.
second, he was stretched on a plank, surrounded with'l
lighted candles, and thus put into the _oven, the mouth
of which was close.l this time. He was there nearly
five minutes, when all the spectators cried out—
s, Enough, enough I" art anxiously hastened to take
him out. A noxious atill suffocating vapour of tallow
filled the inside of the oven, and all the candles were
extinguished and melted. The Spaniard, whose pulse
divas 200 at coming out of this gulph of heat, imme-
diately threw himself into a cold bath, and in two or
three minutes after was on his feet safe and sound. He,
was received with the unanimous applauses of all the'
spectators. It is expected that the savans who witnessed
this ext,aerdinary experiment with the greatest atten-
tion, will publish their observations on this test, to prove
what degree of heat the human body is able to bear
without danger to life. •

Since Sunday last we have had fioe are her, and the
hay-makers have in consequence proceeded with re-
joicing hearts in their important labours. which a few
more fine days will bring to a satisfactory conclusiom
u neon Courier.
Tie hay harvest, which has been much retarded in
consequence of the late unfavourable wea her. is now
in rapid progress, and an immense quantity has been
saved since Sunday. The sheirs of grass have never
been exceeded.
Sunday the town of Kingsbiidge, Devon, was visited
by a thunder storm, which did considerable In schief:
the spire of the church was so much injured, that it
must be taken down; a young man was struck &nen
near the church, but not materially hurt. The same
storm was also felt at Exmouth and Elet r, ahem the
thunder and lightning, accompanied by excessive rain,
continued during the greater part of the day. At air!,
so great was the fall et rain, that the hay was actually
carried by the filod from one end to the other of a
field of three acres.
