POLICE INTELLIGENCE.  UNION-HALL.  Yesterday the Rev. Mr. Chickely, a clergyman of the Established Church, was brought up from the round-house, at Peckham, by Lewis, the .constable, charged with being intoxicated, and, while in that condition, using abusive language to the Rev. C. A. Richardson, the proprietor of an academy at Peckham.  Lewis stated, that. on Saturday night, betwee❑ 11 and 12 o'clock, the inhabitants of Peckham were alarmed by cries of murder, proceeding from the house of the Rev. Mr. Richardson, in that village. The uproar induced him (Lewis) to go and see what was the matter, and on his arrival there he saw the complsinaiit at the front drawing-room, who entreated him to enter the house, describing that the defendant . was drunk, and, that he threatened to commit personal violence on those Nvho interfered for the purpose of ejecting him from the house into which he had intruded himself. Lewis added, that he obtained admittance into the house, and in the parlour saw the defendant, who seemed to be in a very high state of excitement. He stamped, and cursed a good deal, and appeared to be in a pas 7 sion with the complainant, who forthwith gave him into custody, on the charge above-mentioned.  The Rev. Mr. Richardson stated, that he admitted the defendant to reside in his house, in consequence of his wife living with him (the complainant) in the capacity of housekeeper. The defendant had resided in the house about-five months, and he (the complainant) had only latterly ascertained that he was in the habit of keeping late hours, and getting drunk. The circumstance of his leading such a dissipated life-was kept a profound secret from all in the house except his wife, who was .in the habit of letting him in at the unseasonable-hours he kept. The Rev. complainant then proceeded to describe the circumstances that led to the rupture between him and the Rev. defendant. Some time since he, the.complainant, read an account of a clergyman who gave the name of Ellis being brought up to Union-hall for drunken 'and riotous behaviour in the street. Knowing the defendant to have absented himself from home on the night in question, it immediately occurred to him that he was the person alluded to in the report, and that-he had given a fictitious name in order to guard the exposure that was likely to follow from his conduct. He (complainant), however, did not notice his suspicions until, upon a very recent occasion, he also read another report is the newspapers similar in. substance to the former, stating that the defendant gave his name Ellis, and describing that he was a clergyman, and proprietor of a school at Peckham. When this second report appeared, he (the complainant) felt convinced the defendantwas the individual who disgraced himself on these occasions, and in the course of the day on which the account appeared, his suspicions were fully confirmed by some individuals belonging to Peckham, who were present when he was taken before the Magistrates. Upon this confirmation, he (complainant) was determined that the defendant should not remain longer on his premises, and on Friday last directed him to quit his house. The defendant left the house in the course of Friday, and on Saturday night complainant having occasion to 'go into the kitchen, he was surprised on seeing him there ; and on expressing his astonishment to the -defendant, the latter broke forth into a passion, and condncted himself with great violence ; so much so, that he (complainant) and several of the inmates, his pupils, were obliged to take refuge in the drawing-room. The complainant added, that he called aloud for assistance, when Lewis the constable appeared, into whose custody he gave the defendant. Mr. HONE (to the defendant)—You were in custody at this office about a week or ten days ago, if I am not mistaken, on a cbaige Of being drunk, and with having assaulted a watchman of St. Saviour's parish, -for endeavouring to prevail on you to desist from kicking at a licensed victualler's door-between eleven and twelve o'clock. Defendant—l admit that I hare been here before.  Mr.
