POLICE INTELLIGENCE. LAMBETH. SEDUCTIOII...-Min Mary Ann Salisbury, the daughter of a Dissenting minister at Bath, was charged with attempting to commit suicide on the preceding night. Frederick Godfrey, a servant in the employment of the London and Westminster Steam-boat Company deposed, that on the preceding night he observed the prisoner on the steps leading to the Company's pier, on the Surrey side of Westminster-bridge, and knowing that the boats had ceased to run for the sight, he asked her what or who she was waiting for ? She replied nobody. There was something about her manner which induced him to watch her closely, and perceiving that she was approaching the water's edge he:followed her, and again asked her what she wanted ? At this time she appeared to be praying, and did not reply to him for some moments, when she drew a letter from her bosom, and requested he would put it into the post-office. She then said that her lover had jumped off London-bridge on Sunday or Monday night, and he hoped she would do the same. She then made towards the edge of the water, and was in the act of throwing herself in, when he (witness) caught hold of her clothes and held her until assistance came, and she was handed over to the care and charge of a policeman. The witness added, that after saving her, the prisoner told him he was very unkind for interfering with her, and asked him several times to let her do what she wanted, but she appeared in a state of distraction at the time. The witness, in answer to a question from the magistrate, further said that on the same ( Wednesday) night a young nun bad thrown himself off the London-bridge, and was picked up alive, as he heard, by one of the Watermen steamers. Police-constable Bovill, 140 D, deposed that on her way 42. the station-house the prisoner told him she was the daughtitT of a clergyman, at Bath, and had come away from there a fortnight ago with a young gentleman who had since deceived her. She also said she lodged at 2, Edward-street, Blackfriarsroad ; but he had since called there, and no such person as the prisoner was known there.  The recent decision otthe Admiralty against the proposed bridge at the Hock Crib, leaves the Aust Passage the only practicable point for a fixed bridge.  Arrangements have been concluded with his Grass the Duke of Beaufort, and the other proprietors of the Aust Ferry, whereby the purchase of that important interest has been secured to this Company.  The line, which will be about forty-eight miles in length, will commence at Bristol, and proceed to the Aust Passage, there aroseing the proposed bridge to Beachley, it will run northward along the valleys of the Wye and Monnow by Chepstow, and Monmouth to Hereford, which city will form the northern terminus of the line. At Hereford the direct chain of communication to Liverpool will be completed by the lines now projected between those places. It is obvious that this route will furnish to the west and south-west of England the best and most direct means of communication not only with Liverpool and the north of England, but with Dublin and the north of Ireland. To Bristol itself the value of the project cannot be over-estimated. It will secure to that ancient city the continuance of its loug-enjoyed position, as the emporium of commerce fn the west. It is proposed to connect the line with the forest of Dean, by which means the vast mineral resources of that district will be developed to an extent hitherto unattained.
