POLICE.

MANSPON House.—Yesterday. a young WWI mimeo
BilardlMlllll was brought before the Loire Miami, on
ebarge of having rubbed his master, Mr. L. Marks, of
propeity fo a considerable amount.
it appeared from the evidence that Mr. Marks, who is
now an engraver, in Artillery-lane, Bishopsgate•street,l
some time since carried on baseness as a bookseller to a
considerable extent, and that foe the last six years the li
prisoner had been his cordidential servant and shopman.
During that time Mr. Marks sustained considerable
losses ;his snspicions fell on the boys in his employment,
and be discharged theta successively. Is consequence
of these repeated losses. and some ethers which he met
with in trade, he became bsokrupt. He afterwards pur-
sued his business as an engraver, teed oat of all his ser-
vants he retained the prisoner, as the most honest and
trustworthy. Still the lasses continued; books, draw-
ings, and papers went daily, and at length the domestic
utensils began to disappear. During a abort interval, in
which the prisoner bad gone to another situation, Mr.
Marks observed that be sustained no loss, and his suspi•
ciouthen felt upon the prisoner, whom he determined to
watch. He watched for a whole day, and to his surprise
he saw the prisoner secrete a piur of silver spectacles
and other things. An officer followed the prisoner to his
house, and searched him. The property was found upon
him, and a large quantity was found in his lodgings.
Amongst that found at his lodging was a manuscript
work of Mr. Marks, which the latter had intended to,
Puhlit,he and which he appeared to consider as the most
valuable of that the prisoner hail stolen.
The prisoner, in his defence, pleaded poverty. From
some love letters which were found upon him, it ap-
peered that be had gone to great repine, in order to
gratify a passion for some girl with whom he had con-
nected himself.
Ile was fully committed.
Bow-eraarr.—Yesterday, 25 young men, among
whom was a 'melba. named Stee4mens, were brought
before Mr. HALLS, charged aids being idle, disorderly,
and evil disposed perions.
Complaints. it appeared, bad reached this office, that
a public-house in Long her.., called the Black Boy, was
the nightly resort of loose eharacten, who assembled
there for the purpose of practising the ter! a/self-defence,
and that boys, who were constant visitors, were in the
habit of remaining there the greater part of the night, to
the prejudice of their morals, and the annoyance of the
neighbours. A privy search. warrant was conseqoently
issued, and Morris, Bond, and other officers were order.
ed to execute it on Tuesday night. They went to the
house a little before 12 o'clock, and in a back room they
found Stockman and the rest, most of them youths
smoking their pipes, and descanting upon the respective
merits of the bolting fraternity. The whole were taken
into custody and lodged in the watchhouse, and yesterday
morning they were brought up. Three of them, named
norm, Riley, and M'Carthy, being recognised as re-
puted thieves, were committed to work at the freed-m*lll.
rhe rest were discharged,. with a sharp admonition from
the Magistrate, who told them that all who were in fu-
ture found at that or any other house, engaged in si-
milar pursaits, would be treated as rogues and vaga-
bonds.

The landlord of the Black Boy !Milk asked what he
had to offer in defence of Ms conduct, said Mister Stock-
mas hired his room as a boxing academy, and that was
all he knew about the matter.

The Magistrate fined him 51., end desised him to take
care of his license.
MARLSOROUGS-STRECT.--TOTACiI, the second coach-
man to the Duke of Bedford, was yesterday brought up
to answer the complaint of Mrs. Blackburn, of Charles-
street, Berkeley-squaret and her coachman.
Mrs. B.'s coachman deposed, that last Wednesday
evening he was driving his mistress to Willis's rooms,
to Almack's Ball, and was just about to draw up to
the door, when the prisoner, who was driving the
Duke's carriage,• drove oat of the ranks, and with an
evident intention to force the witness back, ran his
splitrer-bar wilfully against Mrs. B.'s carriage, and
with such violence as completely to upset it. The wit-
neis, feeling it overturning, considered his life in dan-
ger, and *aped off his box. He fortunately escaped
unhurt.

Mrs. Blackburn nearly corroborated the coachman's
testimony. This lady stated, they were jest about turn-
ing Dotke•street when the accident occurred. She saw
through one window that was open, what must be the
inevitable consequence of the prisoner's conduct, and
let down the three other windows of the carriage before
it was ovesturned. Mrs. B. heard no provoking lan-
guage passing between the coachmen, which made his
behaviour the more wanton. Mrs. B. said she was for-
tunate enough to escape anhnrt.
Mr. Blackburn said his lady would not have prose-
cuted the prisoner, but he refused to make op apology.
The prisoner offered no defence.
Mr. Rog, the Magistrate, ordered him to fled bail to
answer at the Sessions.

bAataaru STRART.-.—Yeaterdar Mr. Burnell, a watch
and cluck-maker, made application to the Sitting Afagis-
trate*, M. WYATT aud J. Haantricus. Eiqrs. for Mini.
neration, in consequence of a women sent on Tuewisy to
the 'rread-inill fur *month, and who,. although chained
with several others un their way from that office to pri-
son, had wilfully knocked out of his hand a clock glass,
and broke it to pieces.
'rhe Magistrates, under all the circumstances, ordered
the value of.the glass to be paid him, and intimated that
there wax a project in view which would effectually pre-
vent for the future the prisoners from doing any mischief
in sheets while on their way to prison.
It is said iluvernment have it in coatemplation toattacb
a sort of carriage to each of the Polise•othues, for the par-
v9se of conveying the prisoners to gaol. •

TMBTFI)TEtf WOOL FAIR.

The animal Meeting ot This Fair took place last Satnr
,day. Tbe'dinner at the Bell Inn was more numerously
attended than last year, 86 persons being present. T.
W. Coke, Esq. was in the chair. Ambng the company
were seep Lord Albemarle, J. Moseley, Rte. R. Cald-
well, the. J. Amy., Esq. W. Ray, Roq, P. It4y, Peq,
Lloyd, Esq. Messrs. Myths, 04erinan. Harvey, ti'. Steil:
man, Woeffedge, and Andrews, and the tona; attend-
ance of buyers,
After the cloth was removed, thy Chairman gave the
following to .sto—" Constitution and King"—" Peter-
rity to the Wool Pair"—"'An honouetlile sod fair prate
for wool between buyer and seller."
Mr. Uinta then ruse and stated that in addressing rho
company on the sobjert of the prices for wool, he should
confine himself to those of the best wools. The argu-
ment could mete' no longer be held, that the manufacto-
ries were not in a flourishing state—on the contrary, it
inlet beadmitted that the manufacturer was never better
off than at the present time. Cloths bore a good prices
anti the grower of wool was entitled to a fair and remu-
nerating price. From 445. to 50s. per tod bad been ob-
tained for wool, and the best was certainly je3titled to the
latter prier. He hoped a distinction woald be made by
buyers between the best and inferior wools. Tbeyo .ght
to mike a heti,'" se/ectiou, considering that the Down
sheep of Norfolk had become superior to those of the
counties from which they originally came—better in
wool, and better in carcase. He recommended the far-
Mfrs to keep up the prices, to pay more attention to the
crosses, and entirely to do away with the Norfolk breed,
of the inferiority of which Mr. Coke then entered into a.
lung detaiL He again repeated that the best wools
shonid not he sold fur less than 50s. He himself bad a,
smatter proportion of bogget wool this year than lintel,
or else hr should ask a higher price. As Mr. Waller last
year had given him (Mr. Coke) so good a price, he
should now offer his wool to him :It 464.

Mr. Waller ;Lard that he thought 40'. even for half
and half hoggets, and rwes, too high a price. However,
br should accept Mr. Cokes offer, AltIo•ogli he was net
prepared to give that price for the woo} of any other.

Mr. llotsetsr gave the h•altle of " Lord Albemarle,"
three times three.—(Lowlapplaoge.)
Lord A I.RIBISRLIL returned thanks for the honour done
him. He should not take np the time of the company in
makitsg a speech; for really he had no subject to speak.

Mr. newt returned thanks. In alverting to the dif-
ference between the Norfolk and Down breed, he joined
Mr. Coke in condemning the former as far as the wool
was concerned; and stated whereas some time ago the
wool of the Norfolk sheep fetched the highest prices, it
was now difficult to obtain from the mactsfacturers an
offer for it at a very inferior rice.
" Prosperity to the Counties of Norfolk and Suffoli,
and the wool-buyers who attend the Fair."
" The Duke of Norfolk"
Upon the whole very little business was done.—Mr.
Coke sold his wool at 463.; Mr. Harvey his saperiorDown
thrre•qusrter hoggets at 495.; for wools of low and mid-
dle quality no offers were made.
