POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILD/MU.
The driver of a hackney coach wss charged with assaulting
Dlr. Lucas, a pastry cook, in Bridge-street, Westminster. Mr.
Li
was passing through Cheaplele, 'ben the coachman was abusing
t wo Lather who had called him off the stand to inquire his fart to a
certain place. His demand was thought an imposition, and they
declined engaging biro, when he demanded I is, for having been
callrd •ff his stand which they refused. Dlr. L. then interfered In
their fiu half, when, foacbee tholUght proper to use his whip upon
?dr. 1...4 sholliAtt4. 11.. admitted the assault, but said the com-
plainant deserved it for his interference. The Alderman however,
fined him Ws. and ordered him to give bail for the assault; from
this, however. he was released, on paying 10s• each to two Charities.
Titcawts Davies, a libouring mats, seas charged with assaulting his
wife. The cause uf quarrel was, that she had been addicted fur
some time past, to romping with what she termed a neighbour's
" child," a thing which she conceived might be " quite innocently
done." Several of the neighbours, however. viewed the matter in
a different light, and from time to time the husband teceived hints
upon the subject, which led to quarrelling and blows. Mr. Alder-
man VYNAJILES inquired the age of the said" child," and finding he
was at least 19 year. of age, he thou;ht it was at least suspicious.
An old Lady. a neighbour, begged to assure the Alderman there
was no harm in Mts. Davies's gambols with the " child ;" hut Mrs.
Davies contented herself with defying her husband to pore when
and where he had been wronged. The patties had been married
six years, and had no offspring, and as there seemed no chance of a
permanent leconciliation, the Alderman flied the Lady's alimony
at 51. per week.

BOW—STREET.
Dust :asylum ito.—On Saturday George James Christie, Esq.
was brought before Mr. HALLS, by Ledbetter the officer, on a
warrant which charged him " with having written and sent to
James Adam Gordon, Esq. a certain letter, containing a challenge
to fight a duel with .Richard Gurney, Esq. against the King's
peace," &e. On the arrival of Mr. Christie before the Magistrate
it was stated, that the warrant against him had been issued upon
the information of Mr. Gordon, sod the letter containing the chal-
lenge . was produced, but was not publicly read. It appeated,,
however. that Messrs. Gordon and Gutney were rival Candidates
for the honour of representing the Electors of the Borough of Tre-
' gong, in Cornwall, at the last election; and out of that circum-
stance tbefrocas arose that led to the challenge in question.
Mr. Christie expressed irent..surprise that Mr. Gordon should
have given information at this office of the intention of the parties
to meet. lie assured the Magistrate that the letter which he had
written to Mr. Gordon, and which had been construed into a
challenge, was merely an answer to a letter of Mr. Gordon's. in
which Mr. Gordon had agreed to meet Mr.. Gurney, to give hit.
satisfaction; and he (Mr. C.) was requested by Mr. Gurney to
arrange the business. and to act as his second on the occasion. He
wrote to Mr. Gordon, stating that he was ready to arrange a meet.
ing between the parties, and Mr. Gordon had answered the letter
by proceeding to Bow-street, and charged bins with writing a
challenge.
. 'Air. HALLS said, that Mr. Christie. though he had written only
hi the character of a second, was guilty of a breach of the peace.
He (Mr. Halls) knees nothing of the quarrel himself, or of the
parties ; but, it the statement of Mr. Christie was correct, there
was something very ridiculous about the affair. •
Mr. Christie said, that whatever Mt. flails might think upon
the sutrject, he could only say,' that he had acted in the ,affair
throughout, solely guided by an honourable feeling; and whatever
ridicule might attach to some parties connected with the case, yet
the worthy Magistrate must admit that there might be circum-
stances under which a Gentleman could not avoid engaging in an.
affair of this description.
Mr. Hat.r.s said, that be did not attempt to deity k; andlart wta
far from imputing to Mr2Christle' any thing ridieuloni or dishim.l
ourable iu the iffair ;,but he wail', take care that Mr. Gurney was
also bound in' recognizances'a lieeti the peace.
Mr. Christie put In the bail dinianded, and was set at liberty.

assault. It appeared that on Friday.evening the prisoner with two
other men came to his house intoxicated, when he refused to serve
them with liquor. Upon which,thepeisonte seized uponan adze,
and made a violent blow at his head,- which must have inevitably
split his scull, but be lifted up his arm and saved the blow ; one of
the prisoner's companions then seized the adze out of the prisoner's'

the weapon stuck in the counter of the bar. • Lie immediately gave

into custody, but the others escaped. The prisoner, in Isis defence,
pleaded intoxication; and said .that be had no recollection of the
occurrence, for which he was very sorry. Mr. Gurney said he
was determined to prosecute; and asked for warrants against the
prisoner's companions, which were instantly granted. The prisoner

four hours notice.

pottion.of the fisheries in The South Seas. It seems
there are upwards of 100 Ametican ships c“nstantly

English .vessels are manned with sailors from New En-
gland. The importance of a trade employirg such a
number of vessels. averaging 400 tons, and carrying

Omnibus is the name of a Parisian city stage, where
you may go what disttnce you please at a very moderate
sum. A coachman of a more legit:mate Fiacre, angry
at.the success of the new carriages, resolved to follow
the same system; and, too proud of ancient names to
adopt the Catholic appellation of omnibus, has adorned
his coach with the inscription of Uafiacribus a guatre sous.

tendance of Jews, that the t ocm, which was hung with blz.ck cloth,

ther, taking for hi. text, Numbers, ch. xx. verse 29--s, And when
all the' congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they 'mourned fur
Aston thirty days, rain all the house of Israel." After which,
