POLICE-THIS DAY.  BOW-STREET, THIS DAY;  A respectably-dressed mechanic, named Shane, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hall, charged with stealing lead from Hungerford Market.  Sergeant Holmes, 3 F, said about six o'clock last evening he saw the prisoner in Tavistock-street, and from his manner of walking he suspected that ho had stolen property about him. He watched him to a marine storedealer's in Sheffield-street, Clare-market. He then saw him take two of the pieces of lead from his trousers pocket, and afterwards three other pieces from a basket by his side. He then told prisoner he was a police-sergeant, and that he must satisfy him as to how he became possessed of the lead. He said it was given to him by a man in Hungerford•market ; that it was the first time he bad done such a thing, and he begged to be let go. The lead weighed about 441 b.  The son of the prisoner's employer said he had been in the employ of his father for a number of years, and he was always considered an honest man. Mr. Hall said it was very painful to see a person like the prisoner charged with theft.  The prisoner said one of the men engaged on the work gave him the lead as he had lost his hammer.  Remanded.  Two young men, named Benzey and Williams, were charged with having stolen property in their possession. Police-constable Lambert of the E division, said last night he met the two prisoners in Hampshire Hog-yard, St. Giles's. The prisoner Benzey was carrying a bag containing five pair of socks, one coat, one cloak, two shirts, one silk handkerchief with a picture of the Exhibition upon it, and one cap. All the articles were quite new, the socks having a shop mark upon them. He asked them if the articles belonged to them, and they replied "Yes, and that they were going home." He asked them where they resided, and Benzey told him, No. 11, George-street. Before he knew what was in the bag, he asked them what it contained, when Benzey said " Washing." He told them he must see what that was, when on putting his hand into the bag he pulled out the socks with the ticket on them. He told them he telieved the property was stolen. When they got to the station they said they had found the property, and intended giving it to the police. Mr. Hall said it was extremely improbable that the property in the bag had been picked up.  Remanded for a week. James Hammont, a blacksmith, was charged with indecently exposing himself in the enclosure in St. James'spark. The park-keeper paid the offence was committed yesterday a lernoon, and in one of the most frequented parts of the park. Police-constable, A 1, said the prisoner attempted to commit suicide this morning in the cell by strangling himself. _ _  The prisoner denied the offence. Mr. Hall said the public were under deep obligations to the two witnesses who had given their evidence. It was seldom that a case of this kind could be brought home to the person who was guilty of it ; but where it was, he would always inflict the severest punishment the law allowed. He then sentenced the prisoner to the House of Correction for three months with hard labour.

THE BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE..--LOrd Fermoy and Mr. Harvey Lewis yesterday gave an account of their Parliamentary conduct during the session just closed, to the electors, at the Vestry Hall, Harrow-road. Each gentleman received a cordial vote of thanks for his exertions.  A letter in the Paris Presse announces that the work of tunnelling Mont Cenis has encountered unforeseen obstacles, and that the prefect, Count Pasolini, accompanied by a committee of engineers, has been sent to to decide if the works are to be suspended.  It appears that about 1280,000 in specie was despatched from New York for Europe by the steamers Borussia, City of New York, and Great Eastern. The latter vessel has arrived off Queenstown.  The neighbourhood of the Rue Dauphine was, the night before last, thrown into consternation by an attempt at murder followed by suicide. AM. Cesar D—, juge de pail of a town in Picardy, arrived unexpectedly, about half-past ten at night, at the house of his brother •inlaw, M. B—, No. 41, Due Dauphine. He was very coolly rec3ived, as they had not been on good terms for some time, owing to his strange conduct. M. D— told his brother-in-law that his (D—'s) daughter was about r to be married, and he asked B— whether he did not intend to give her a wedding portion of 40,0001 r. M. B—, amazed at this demand, for which there was no reasonable ground whatever, gave a flat refusal, D— then drew out a double-barrelled pistol and fired both shots at his brotherin-law, only one of which took effect, inflicting a slight. wound on 13—'8 right hand. B—, thinking the man mad, endeavoured to seize him, and a struggle ensued, during which D— stabbed himself four times in the breast with a small poinard, and having at last got free fora Ito ment, he drew out another pistol, and, discharging it m his • -. te'stpion commissary k oef t s a eii t te, bller Was revenged found,on h inof police of the quer i s mouth, fell down dead.

THAMES.  ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AND A DROP OF DRZIK.--. Catherine Burdzell, a woman of rather dissipated appearance, aged`3, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with attempting self-destruction. The prisoner was greatly agitated, and seemed to be in a weakly condition, arising from her immersion in the water and the means used to effect resuscitation. Charles Wilson, a constable in the employ of the West India Dock Company, stated that he was on duty this morning in the import dock and heard a splash in the water, which was followed immediately afterwards by the cry of a woman overboard. Got the drags. He obtained the grapnel irons and ropes, threw them into the water, and dragged up the prisoner as she was, on the point of sinking ; indeed, she had been down once, He kept her afloat on the surface of the water until a boat was lowered. She was brought on shore in a very insensible condition, and was put into a warm bath- Friction was also used, and after considerable delay animation was restored. The prisoner had a narrow escape. The water was 20 feet in depth. Mr. Stife—From what place did this woman plange herself into the water ? Wilson—From the bridge over the entrance lock, to which she obtained admission from the street. The prisoner said she was very sorry for what shPa had done. Mr. Selfe—How came you to commit such a rauli and wicked act ?  ---- • The prisoner—It was a drop of drink. Mr. Selfe--A drop of drink! It is really sh*cking. A great many females have been brought beffr..e me, cilarged with attempting suicide by drowning, and the excuse in every instance has been a drop of drink. What are you, and where do you come from ? The prisoner—I am a married woman, and live at No. 2, Blacksmith's-place, Back Church,lane, Whitechapel._  Mr. Selfe—Where is your husband ? Tne prisoner—My husband is at sea. Mr. Selfe—And in his absence you get drunk, and attempt to put an end to your existence. This is' dreadful. The prisoner—I will never do such a thing again .

SCULLY V. INGRAM.-THE SADLEIR FRAUDS.  111r..Bovill this morning opened the case on the part of the defendant. It was an action brought by the plaintiff, Mr. Vincent Scully, an Irish barrister and a Queen's counsel, and formerly M.P. for the county of Cork, against Mr. Herbert Ingram, the proprietor of the Illustrated _Landau Net's, and M.P. for Boston, to recover compensation in damages for fraudulently representing that he (the defendant) had purchased an estate called Castle Hyde, in the county of Cork, ffom the late John Sadleir. The facts of the case are fully disclosed in the subjoined short statement. Mr. Vincent Scully (the plaintiff) was a connection of the late John Sadleir, whose gigantic frauds are already well known to the public, and who terminated his career by suicide, on Hampstead-heath. In 1851 Sadleir was indebted to Scully in the sum of £9,000 for money lent, and Scully having by him ready money to the amount of £lO,OOO, was desirous to invest the whole in the purchase of an estate in Ireland, through the Encumbered Estates Court. The property of Castle Hyde, in the county of Cork, was put up for sale in December, 1851, and Sadleir, by direction of Scully, purchased it for £19,425. Sadleir bought it in his own name, in trust for Mr. Thos. Eyres, of Bath, the plaintiff's uncle, representing to the plaintiff it would re-sell better in the market if it appeared that the purchaser was an English gentleman. Afterwards the plaintiff tried to get his £9,000 from Sadleir, but failing to do so he authorised him to re-sell the estate, and Sadleir wrote to him saying he had got a purchaser at a profit of £6OO in the person of Mr. Herbert Ingram, the defendant. The plaintiff consented to this arrangement, and expected that the purchase would be completed. Subsequently the plaintiff was persuaded by Sadleir to stand as candidate for the county of Cork, but in order to give him a status in the county hewasdesirous to possess some landed that Ingram never had wouldgive they were broken off. property within it. Sadleir having told him that his friend Ingram would readily re-sell the estate, the plaintiff entered into negotiations with hint on the subject, but as Ingram demandedpnrAfterchaedd etmihr more sr thanedeathestate, ithewas found a nd that the plaintiff was virtually owner couldstheas Court in he veassertetdhi rights by moving the us stud way. It was al mortgaged the property, first of all to the Albion Assurance Society for £50,000, and secondly, to Messrs. Backhouse, of Darlington, for Encumbereddi se of o t iv:rae nd dEat that Sadleir £89,000. So far as the plaintiff was concerned, therefore, the estate was irretrievably gone; and he now sought to recover at the hands of the jury compensation in damages against Mr. Ingram, the plaintiff, for lending himself, as alleged, to the misrepresentation that he was the owner of the property, when, in fact he never had any interest in it, even to the extent of a farthing. The case is not expected to terminate before to-morrow afternoon.

SUICIDE OF THE RAJAH OF SHORAPOEE.—The Rajah of Shorapore committed suicide on the 14th, and from our Secunderabad letters, dated the 12th, we glean the following particulars : The Rsjah, a young man of twenty-three, had been tried fur levying war against the British Government. lie was sentenced to transportation for life, aed at 4 a.m. on the 11th was sent from Secunderabad, under an escort of 80 non-coramieeioned rank and file of the 911), 10th, and 49th Madras Native Infantry, commanded by Lieutenant Pictet. His desti— nation WQB Chingleput, where he was to remain until transported to some penal settlement. The Rajah's hands and legs were ironed. On arrival at Umbarrapett, 12 miles from Secunderabad, he was unhandcuffed, in order that he might take his breakfast, the leg-irons still being lsept. He was then placed in a dooly, and the dooly was put inside a two-poled tent, double sentinels, lacing inwards on each side of the dooly, inside thetent, being posted. At 11 a.m., the report of fire-arms was heard, and on Lieutenant Pictet arriving at the tent he found the Rajah in the agonies of death. The unfortunate man expired in about ten minutes afterwards. The corpse was escorted back to Secunderabad, and, as soon as it reached there, an inquest was held on it in the hospital of her Majesty's Ist Royale. From the evidence then given, it appears that when the handouffi were taken off the Rajah by the officer commanding the escort, the latter at the same time divested 'airmail of his bell, to which was attached a revolver. The revolver was laid on the chicly pole, and given in charge of the sentries, who vrere told to take care of it until his (Lieut. P.'s) tent arrived. Up to this point,•accordingto our correspondents, all is clear ; but now comes the mysterious part of this tragical occurrence. Was the Rsj ►b allowed by the sentries to obtain possession of the revolver? No one as yet knows. The two sentries are, it seems, Mussulmane, and belong to the 10th Native Madras Infantry. Tbey aro prisoners, and an • investigation is going ou. The Rajah shot himself in the stomach, and the ball passed right through the body and one of the lower curtains of the tent.
