I-- Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Poland, sid dressed the court on the part of the defendant. He re minded the court that this offence was committed ten years ago, when the defendant was under age. It was committed under feelings of deep aggravation, the circum stances of which both had thought it best not now to re. peat. The defendant therefore appeared before them plead ing guilty to the charge of assault, and apologising for it Is such terms as the learned counsel hoped would lead to the pronouncing by the court of a sentence which would in no degree add to his lordship's personal dis tress, and not reflect on his personal honour. Mr. Justice Blackburn. as senior puisne judge, whose duty it was to pass sentence, remarked on the aggravated nature of the assault. From sonic cause neither party had thought fit to bring the circumstances of the case before the court, but there was the fact that he had been obliged to leave his regiment. The prosecutor had brought for ward no aggravating circumstances, and the defendant bad not sated anything in mitigation as showing provocation on the prosecutor's part. Nothing, however, would ' stify the assault that had been committed. When the offence was committed the defendant was very young, which was a circumstance in mitigation, aa was also his being obliged to leave the country from pecu niary difficulties. A very unusual, though legal, course in mizninal causes had been adopted—that of outlawing him— Which might have had the effect of keeping rim abroad, and this no doubt to a person of his position was a considerable punishment. There was also to be considered the lapse of time that bad taken pl.tce, and the great change which had taken place 14 peonies minds with reference to duelling and taking the law by ',none supposed to he aggt ieved in their own hands. Trader the circumstances the court did not think that a fine to a person in his position would be any punishment, and therefore to mark their sense of the nature of the offence, and the slightest sentence the court could suss was that he be imprisoned for three calendar months as a first-class misdemeanant. fits lordship was then removed by the tipstaff of the court, and now that the Queen's Bench prison is abolished, we believe persona sentenced by this court are imprisoned is Newgate. John Gale, a gardener, was charged with stabbing with intent to do some grievotui bodily harm. Inspector Usher handed in a medical certificate stating that James Stephenson, of Gay-street. Putney, had re ceived two punctured wounds, one on the left temple and the other at the back of the left shoulder, and that he was unable to attend the court at present. The evidence adduced went to prove that last night two negro minstrels were singing in front of the bar at the Cricketers Tavern, when the prisoner, who was not sober, joined in with them, and interfered with the customers. Some person threw a piece of paper in his face, when he turned round and spoke to Stephenson, who bad not thrown the paper. The prisoner then put his band in his pocket and pulled out a knife. He rushed at Stephenson and stabbed him on the shoulder. He made a second rush at him in a very rapid manner and stabbed him on the head. The wound on the shoulder would have been very serious but for the man wearing two coats. The prisoner was thrown down and the knife taken from him. The wounded man was at first attended by Mr. Hall, a chemist, who afterwards sent for Dr. Jackson. The pri soner was taken into custody at the time, but he made no remark to the charge. Blood was found on the blade of the knife. Inspector railer mid the prisoner had been in custody several times for assaults and drunkenness. Mr. Darman remanded the prisoner for a week, to see bow the man progressed. The prisoner, who did not offer any defence, was then removed. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH LONDON RAILWAY. Do. do.

On Tuesday night a very shocking accident hap pened at the Bow elation of the North London Railway, which resulted in the instantaneous death of an old and respected officer of the line named William Clarke, aged The deceased was the inspector of the permanent way, and it would appear that on the evening in question he was superintending some work on the road, near the how station. It is thought that he was standing on the up line examining the points just as a train was being backed into the station to take passengers ou to Fenchnrch-street. Unhappily he did not observe the approach of the train, and he was knocked down. The whole of the carriages passed over him, the guard irons of the engine mutilating the body to a very shocking extent. Death, of course, was instantineous. The remains were removed to Bow church to await an inquest. Do. 14; • I LandoetalverPlaWL )1 Do. Now, 10. at peal Lou. CIA Book of Austii.

IN THE STREETS.—" W. 8. 0.," writing from Upper Holloway to a contemporary, says that on Tuesday night, after partially accomplishing on foot a perilous descent of Highgate.hill, he determined to at tempt skating ; " so, a ffi xing my skates, which I was car rying home, I resumed my journey, and immediately per ceived the advantage. At a speed which would have rendered a coachman liable for furious driving, I went homewards, and the facts that I skated a distance of more than two miles without falling, and that I did not in any way injure the skates, prove that the roads were fairly covered with ice. Some foot passengers regarded my progress with silent envy ; on the other hand, an elderly Lolly hoped I might get ' a month' for my outrageous behaviour." Another correspondent says that while per sons were walking in the road with their umbrellas up to shelter them from the rain, he skated on the pavement, with little let or hindrance, from his residence in the Brampton-road as far as the Bath Hotel, in Piccadilly, and back again. 87 90 In 12 70 90 12 124 93 . 93 - 11 $5 $B. 7 4 81 1! 4} 6 u} 9; 9 ibi 8I DOCK& 67) 44 id 39} 9 20 Eg.yptianContitTrti.(L, St Eiestric Telegrali&_, • • Eng..l3Ans.Copper (Lim) 6 0 Eng. and Foreign Credit 100 lEng=ttishllarin.(L 10 IF Nultinewilsl. • 10 I Fore-et (Wareham* (L.) 00 ,Oellivara (Limited) 10 'OeneralCredlt 41115.',1 ` 16 10es.

FATAL Ags'IDENT ON THE SALISBURY AND YEOVIL Weitu AY.—We regret to state, on what we believe to he reliable authority, that a sad and fatal accident has oc curred in the Gillingham tunnel. Yesterday (\t eaned. day) as the 2.31 down train from Salisbury was pro ceeding through the tunnel, Mr. Butler, inspector of the permanent way on the South-Western Company's line, was run over and killed. —Siscrilorme Journal. • r I PLAYING WITH A (JUN.—The extreme folly of pointing firearms, whether supposed to be loaded or un loaded, at any human being, was forcibly illustrated by an accident which occurred in this town on Wednesday afternoon, at the Imam of Mr. lee, in Risbygate-street. Mr. Lee and a companion had been shooting on the pre vious day, and before going home fired their guns off together ; thus it was not noticed that Mr. Lee's gun missed fire. On returning home the gun was placed on a kitchen table in the belief that it was not loaded. About 3 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon two men, in the employ of Mr. Bullen, who were at work in the house, said a few words in a joke to a boy named H. Scott, who picked up a cap and thought to startle the men by snapping it. He accordingly took the gun from horror the table, put the cap on and fired it, and to his great a loud report followed. Some of the straggling shot grazed the face of one of the men, named I fraborn, and one shot injured his right eye. He immediately went to Mr. Smith's surgery, and by his advice proceeded to the hospital. It was at first feared that he would lose the sight of his eye, but it is now thought that though it will be injured he will not entirely lose it. He is going on well—Bury and Norwich Post. WOLVES ON A RAILWAY.—" A cattle-train on the Luxembourg railway was stopped," says the Nord, " two nights back, between Libmmont and Poiz, by the snow. The breaksinen was sent forward for aid to clear the line, and while the guard, fireman, engine -driver, and a customs-officer were engaged in getting the snow from under the engines they were alarmed by wolves, of which there were five, and which were attracted, no doubt, by the scent of the oxen and sheep cooped up in railed-in carriages. The men bad no weapons save the fire utensils belonging to the engine. The wolves re maimd in a demi-circle a few yards distant, looking keenly on. The engine-driver let off the steam and blew the whistle, and lanterns were waved to and fro, but the savage brutes did not move. The men then made their way, followed by the wolves, to the guard's carriage. Three got in safe ; while the fourth was on the step one of the animals sprang on him, but succeeded only in tearing his coat. They all then made an attack, but were beaten off, one being killed by a blow on the bad. Two boon elapsed before assistance arrived, and during that time the wolves made several attempts upon the sheep trucks, but failed to get in. lions of the cattle were injured." ei I 9 T • • 919 M}9; 2.... :r ? limit sad West lndla toe 132 134 5,071 4 11 St. Lauda° &X Hallman OS St as 631 1, 100 Do.

An application to resuscitate the General Ex change Bank (Limited) bymeans of a new company bearing the title of the London and Exchange Bank (Limited) came yesterday before the Master of the Rolls. It was mentioned that out of 1,512 share holders, 972 have assented by taking shares in the new bank. The proposal was to exchange two shares of 101. each in the new bank, having 51. paid up thereon, for one share of 501. having 131. paid up. The new bank was to take over all the liabilities of the old bank and give de-I posit receipts for them payable at six, four teen, twenty, and twenty-four months.
