POLICE INTELLIGENCE.  MANSION-I/O USE.  Mr. Lawrence, a gentleman residing in the neighbourhood of Hoxton, waited upon the LORD MAYOR to !pate, that in consequence of the publicity which a suoposed ca•e of cholera had obtained through the public prints, he had deemed it his duty to investigate the matter, and the result was that he !had clearly ascertained no grounds exited for presuming, as had been the case, that the man had been attacked with Asiatic cholera. He had even found  that Mr. Hunt, in the House of Commons, had alluded to it as a case of true cholera, and had brought it forward as evidence of the necessity for the immediate establishment of public receptacles. Now the truth of the matter was this. The man hail, for the last 16 years, been subject to violent attacks of spasm or cramp in the stomach, and for this complaint he had been three or four times in St. Bartholomew's Hospital. For the last few days previous to the attack from his old complaint in Pitfield-street, he had been suffering wader the incipient symptoms, insomuch that he been unable to go to his ork. On the morning in tpiestion he had been seized with a slid ht attack of cramp, and had stepped into a baker's shop, where he got a glass of brandy. He was afterwards more violently attacked, arid taken off to St. Bartholomew's H .spital, where the surgeons pronounced his case to be the true Asiatic cholera, and they in consequence sent him to the Lord Mayor's house in Abehurch-lane, from whence he was sent to the Surrey D spensarv, the surgean there agreeing in the opinion that it was true Asiatic cholera, although the man had lost 18 ounces of blood from bleeding, and one of the principal symptoms of cholera being stagnation of blood. In fact, he could prove, by reference to persona who had known the man, that all the appearances, such as becoming livid and speechless, which were pronounced by the surgeons as infallible indications of the Asiatic cholera, had invariably attended the attacks of spasm which he had undergone for the last sixteen years. He begged, however, to state his surprise that the man had been refused admission in Abchurch-lane, where there was a place expressly prov ded for such cases. There were subscriptions for the purpose of providing such places, and he considered that the public would have an impression, from the fact of a case being refused, that the city wished to monopolize the benefits, in place of extending relief all over the metropolis. The LORD MAYOR had certainly given up his house in Abchurch-larie for the purpose of receiving cholera cas s, but he begged it most distinctly to be understood that he never contemplated receiving indiscriminate applications. His premises were only to be devoted to the reception of those attacked in the immediate neighbourhood. He regretted that the man should have been sent about from place to piaci-, but he considered the surgeons at Sr. Bartholomew's Hospital were most to blame. With respect to the funds sub-cribed, he begged to state that he considered money obtained at the :Mansion-house was more particularly applicable to city precautions. If the other parts of the metropolis required receptacles, there were plenty of affluent men who ought to come forward and provide them.  barlotte Wilson, a miserable looking young girl, aged 19, was charged with having broken a pane of glass value 21., in the shop of Mr. Rawlins, Minories, for the purpose of committing a trang felony. It was evident that the girl's object was to csmmit an offence whereby she could relieve her destitute situation by transportation, as she made no attempt to escape. She was taken to the Otd Bidcy immediately, as the Grand Jury were not discharged.  As the LORD 51Avort was about to quit the office a dark dirty little Jew, not much bi4,ger than a full-grown monkey, bustled into the room in a state of ludicrous excitement, and, add, essing his Lordship with vehemence, said " I go in danger of rny hf', mark that ; I want a summons against my chum, whom I intend to murder if I don't get justice. I have been insulted by him—l have been called this morning a little black son of a female dog by him. Now nay attention, "It I take a knife and cut him over the face, what will he the consequence?" Mr. Holder—Why, you'll commit a felony, and probably get hung. Applicant—Hung ! I don't care if Ido get hung. I've got a knife in my pocket, and I'll do hi» business with it.
