At Bow Street Police-office, yesterday, William Toole, a middle-aged man,

was charged with sending letters to Sir Robert Peel and Lord Eliot, complaining of distress, and unequivocally hinting that he would assassinate them. He admitted the offence ; pleaded that he was mad- dened by distress ; and produced letters from Mr. Recorder Shaw and other most respectable persons in Ireland, testifying to his good cha- racter while in the Police force of that country. In default of bail for twelve months, he was committed to prison.
