LAMBYTH. _ _ _ Patrick fide, a powerful anirruffiaely-looking fellow, was charged before Mr. Elliott with violently assaulting John Baxter, and biting Ids left eyebrow off. The complainant, whose head and face were enveloped in a shawl, and who seemed to be suffering from intense pain, said that on the evening before he was at a public•house in the Old Kent-road, opposite to the gasworks, where be was employed as stoker, when the prisoner, who was drunk, was challenging every one present to fight. H. (witness), however, took no notice of him, but was taking • plat of beer at the bur, when the prisoner rushed at him in a savage manner, struck and knocked him down, and fell on him, and while on the pound bit hie left eyebrow off. Thomas Haxtex said he was at the public-house with his broths, and was violently assaulted by the pr•sorer and his father. This witness was frightfully marked about the face, and had • deep wound on his left eyebrow. John Montague said he was present, and while the first witness was on the pound, and the prisoner on the top of him, he called out, " For God's sake, Jack, get this fellow off me or he'll eat my head off."

THE FATAL OMNIBUS ACCIDENT IN WALWORTIL Yesterday Mr. Payne hold an inquest at Guy's Hospital, On the body of Thomas Eadee, who MIN to Igo death is consequence of injuries received on Sunday night last, in Walworth-road, whilst driving one of IlubbM's omnibuses. It will be remembered that the deceased was thrown off the box, whilst racing with one of Tilliog's omni buses, sad taken to the above hospital, where he expired a few hours after his admission, having previously suffered amputation of one of his legs. Mr. Lewis, solicitor, appeared on behalf of Mr. Tilling and the driver. From the evidence of Mr. Healey, a civil engineer, it appeared that he was a passenger iii the Hubble's Peckham oniuibua, on Sunday night last, having got up mud sat by the side of the driver at the Elephant and Castle, for the purpose of proceeding to Peckham. On going down the Walworth-road they passed two omnibuses that were before them, going in the nine direction. Previously to reaching Camberwell-mite, • Tally-ho omnibus, be longing to Mr. Tilling, was In trout of them, and ea endeavour was made to pass that also. To prevent that the driver of the Tally-ho drew his horses acmes the heads of the horses at the other omnibus, and the result was to drive Hubble's omnibus against the kerb stone of the pavement with a treaueudous jerk, and the driver was thrown from his *eat, falling heavily to the ground. The horses, fiading themselves released from all control, started of at full speed and dashed through the toll get° on the left hand side of the road, which wee closed ; they then gallopped on, but were eventually stopped at some distance from the place. Assistance was afforded to the injured man, who was conveyed to the hospital. In opposition to this statement several witness were examined, who stated that they observed four omnibuses passing down the Walworth.read, on Sunday night. The driver of Hubble's omnibus was driviug at a furious pace, having passed two omnibuses after leaving the Elephant and Castle. When he got near to Camberwell-gat., he endeavoured to pass Tilling's omnibus and there not being sufficient span to pass on the off-aide he drove against the kerbetune . which jerked him off, and that he was I entirely the canes of his own death. It was further stated that Tilliug's omnibus left Gramechurch-street six minutes before that driven by deceased, and therefore he had driven at an improper pace, to enable him to overtake it in so short I • distance. After puling Camberwell-gate Tilling's omnibus was compelled to drive fast to overtake Hubble's, which was then without a driver. Mr. Galton, house-surgeon, said the deceased was brought into the hospital shortly before ten o'clock on Sunday night with a compound fracture of the leg and other injuries. ilia leg was amputated, but be died at 20 minutes to 2 o'clock in the morning. Mr. Tilling said he discouraged racing, and would dia lcharge any driver for doing so. The jury returned • verdict of " Accidental death." THE PALL Or HOUSES AND LOSS OF LIFE AT NAOINEY. The coroner's jury yesterday, after au absenoe of about an hour, returned the following verdict : "We find that the deaths of Jacob Ketteridge, John Fuller, and Alfred William Rathbone were caused by mortal injuries received upon their bodies fthe falling of the houses , Noe. 9 and 10, Amberstroad, at Hackney ; and we do further say that the causes of each accident were occasioned by the materials used in such building Wind any inferiorquality, to the incompletenem of the not, to undue baste in their construction, and to the want of • more efficient supervision."

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. ---o- - NORTH LONDON. The thirty-first half-yearly general meeting of tide company took place yesterday at the Easton Station, Mr. HEIRT WOLLASTON St.ske in the chair. The report, which hes appeared in our columns, _was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN„ in moving the adoption of the repo expressed his regret that impaired health had oompell Mr. Scott to retiresfrom the chairmanship of the company, a position which he bad occupied with advantage to their interests for upwards of fifteen years ; and he was happy to say that he had consented to remain on the board, and to give them the benefit of his valuable assistance. He might now fairly congratulate the shareholders on the fact that their affairs were in such a condition sa to enable the direc tors to declare a dividend corresponding with that of the previous half-year. The accounte showed that the strictest economy had been practised in every branch of their operations. Their locomotive expenses had been reduced, and, in short, almost every item in the accounts showed a reduction in their expenditure, while at the same time their receipts exhibited an increase, ss compared with those of the peat half-yew. There was one item which he much regretted to see in the accounts, viz., " compensations ;" but this was of course unavoid able. They were all aware of the sad accident which took place at Hampstead ; and considering the grave doubts which existed as to the extent of responsibility attaching to the other companies concerned, be thought the shareholders would agree that the directors had acted wisely in enteriog into en amicable arrangement with the London sod North Western Company. All the sums that had been paid under this bead bad been charged this half _veer, and whatever future claims there might be, they would not affect their dividends. — Thereport wee adopted, and a dividend declared at the rate of 5i per cent. per annum. Mr. George Grantsll Glyn, M.P., and Mr. George Allen der, were re-elected directors, and Captain Thomas Porter, RN., was re-elected auditor. & vote of thanks to the chairman, and to Mr. Scott, the late chairman, terminated the meeting.

SZVZNOAI& Tito fifth half-yearly report of the directors states that the works have programed satisfactorily during the past half year, and they have every reason to expect that the anticipations expressed at the last general meeting will be realised, via., of the completion of the line by the sprim of this year. It will be remembered that the board Let year introduced a bill into parliament for an extension of their line from Otford to Maidstone, passing through the important districts in the vicinity of Wrotham Town, Mal bug, and West Mailing. This bill was rejected for non compliance with the standing orders of parliament. The board have thought fit to introduce a bill iota parliament this session for a similar line to Maidstone, and aloe a line "ringing out of the lame at Ightham, and peasing oy Peck ham and Hadlow to Tonbridge. B these extensions not only will important local dithricta be accommo dated now altogether without railway communication, but also a large traffic from Maidstoue,Tonbridge, Toobridge Wells, Hastings, and St. Leonard's will be brought over the company's line. This bill has paused standing orders, and is expected to be read a second time on Monday next. These extensions, if granted by parliament, will necessitate the doubling of the line to Sea/moths. The tunnel, viaduct, and bridges have been constructed for a double lioe, and sufficient hand has been purchased, so that the earthworks sod permanent way only are additional, and it is expected that these may be completed by the Ist of May next. The original estimate having been for a single line only, it is necessary to apply to parliament for au increase of capital to meet the additiooal outlay. A line has been pro)seted by the Soutb•Eastern Company, pausing from Lewisham, by Seveuoaks, to Tonbridge, to which, in the interests of the shareholders, the directors feel it necessary to give their most strenuous opposition. THAMES EMBANKMENT AND RAILWAY (SOUTH SIDE). Yesterday the Commissioners appointed by the Crown to inquire into and report to parliament on this question met at the offices of the commission in Victoria street, Major General Jaen, in the absence of the Eight Hun. the Lord Mayor, in the choir. Present. Captain Calton, RE., Commander Borstal. Mr. J. Thwaitea, Chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works, Mr. Miasma, C.E., and Mr. Henry Kingecote. Mr. H. H. Bud, C.E., of Robert-street, Adelphi, de scribed an elaborate plan for an embankment ou the south side, from Nine Elms to Southwark-bridge, solid, with trifling exceptions, to be constructed in the form of a river wall, with dusting docks on the inner side, with atom by openings in the wall. A public road would run on the top of the river wall from Lambeth Palace to Blackfnara Bridge, between 40 and 50 feet wide. There would he appresches at various places from the new road to the shore, with sluices for flushing the docks, at as estimated cost of 469,00 W. It was proposed that a body of river police should regulate the docks. The embankment would greatly improve the navigation, protect Lambeth from the overflowing of the tide, increase the public facilities for tranait. sod accommoda te the densely populated districted South Loudon. _ . . . . . Hannyr, merchant., of Earl-street, Westminster, proposed embankments both on the northern and southern side, with a road stud four lines of railway, and on the south a canal between the embankment and the shore from Lon don-bridge to Bstterses, into which the craft would pees through locks as atTeddingtoo, the stream being dammed up at Battersea, and the current of the river thereby checked. The embankment. ou the south side would be 170 feet wide, with warehouses soil residences, and on the north boulevards end gardens. The cost of the entire undertaking would be about live millions sterling, and he proposed to employ 5,000 sappers and miners in the construction of the work. As compared with the Seine and other European rivers, the Thames was a disgrace to a civilised country. Mr. T. Moans, architect, proposed a causeway, 70 feet wide, on piers 100 feet apart, between Nine Elms and Bank side, Southwark, level with the bridges, at an estimated met of 500,000/. The commissioners then adjourned. THE ADULTERATION Or Bas•D.—Out of thirty two samples of bread recently analysed by the Lancet Analytical Sanitary Commiesion, alum was found in seven teen samples, or more than ono-half. The quantities ranged, per quarteru loaf, between 25i1l grains and 15,4'06 grains ; and per sack of nisetr-two 41b. loaves, between 5 on. 4 dwt. and 33 on. 2 dwt. It appears that, as • rule, the more re epectable high-priced laskers who buy the beet door. and sell superior breed, do not nuke use of alum, for the em ployment of which no necessity whatever exists. The prin. sepal reason why alum is so generally used by the bakers who sell cheap bread is, that they are thereby enabled to use • less expensive Bone, and to import to it the Dolour and appearances which belong to dour of superior quality and of higher price. That the additi of a powerful substance like alum, and in the large quantities detected by the Lancet Commissioners, is prejudicial to health end is pro. ductive of derangement of the digestive organs, is well as certained. The adulteration of bread with alum is noe -1 teary to law, and bakers using it are liable to punishment, ' both under the Broad Act as well as under the recent Bill for the Prevention of Adulteration ; the former act is, indeed, rarely, and at long intervals, enforced; bat the latter, as respects the adulteration of bread as of ether arti cles, is inoperative.

OUTRAGE AT • SHEFFIELD CO-OPERATIVE STORE. —A very singular incident took place in Devonshire-greet last night, at the Co-operative Society's store. The finance committee of the society were in their room on the second fluor (the window of which looks into the street), about 10 minutes past 9 &do* when they were suddenly startled by • loud mash at glass. They leers* hurried to the window, and found that • bullet bad been fired through it front the street. Most fortunately, the window is pro tected by iron bars, crossed, and the bullet had caught two of theta, and was thereby diverted from its coune. A large fragment of the bullet, flat tened sad shapelier as it bad rebounded from the iron ban, was picked up from the floor of the room. A small round bole, such as bullets usually make in paring through glees, was seen in one of the panes ; and from the apparent direction of the shot, the bullet must have struck escretary of the committee but for the interposition of the bars. One of the members of the committee ran down into the street, but oould sr no person about. The com mittee did not hear the sound of any explosion in the street, and they conjecture that the bullet was fired from au air gun. The motive for such a malicious act they am amble even to conjecture. A blind was drawn across the window at the time the shot was fired, and this also shows • perforation by • bullet.—Sliegield Indrpendrnt.
