CHARGE OF ASSAULT. Ir. Robert Hill Edwards, clerk to Mr. Henken, a foreign r , t chant, carrying on business in Upper Thames-street, red before Mr. Alderman Sidney to answer a charge wing committed a most violent assault upon a labouring y p earned William Barrett. the case was a somewhat remarkable one. It appeared t ba about 6 o'clock on Monday evening a police-constable, w ed Holford, was on duty in Upper Thames-street, r im he observed the defendant bringing a man, who t eed out to be Barrett, to the door of Mr. Henken's r ehouse, and when he had got him there he gave him a r ent push, and he fell on his head. He immediately tome insensible and bled profusely, and was removed to o's Hospital, where he still remains, and in such a con aem as not to be able to attend to day and give his evi. dem 'he answer to the charge was that the complainant An drunk and that he had gone to Mr. Heniten's r ehouse and would not leave, and the defendant merely 't empted to remove him, but no more violence was wa l than was necessary to effect that object. It ap pend that the complainant had no business whatever in * warehouse, and that ho was told to go away quietly a reral times before any attempt was made to remove him force. Alderman Sidney said that the defendant was justified removing the complainant, but the law would not sanc son such an amount of violence as appeared to have been lade use of. If the man died the defendant would cer nnly be amenable to a charge of manslaughter. A solicitor who attended for the defendant said he hal ritnesses in attendance who would put an entirely different .mplesion to the affair. Alderman Sidney said that it would be his duty to remand es defendant until Barrett was able to attend. He would, kwever, accept buil for his appearance. CLERKEN WELL.

Seeing bpector Maskill, of the G division, approaching, he aid upon him to stop them, this was not done until rer a smart chace and a must desperate resistance on the prt of the prisoners, and it was with great difficulty tt they could be got to the police station. It was after suds found that the prisoners had gained admission to ce prosecutor's house by scaling several low walls at the kick, and breaking the shutters. When in the house they tal ransacked all the drawers in the lower rooms, but had inn away only two pairs of boots ,which were found near cc spot where the police interfered. The prisoners had ben rent anded to enable the police to make inquiries as to ctn. antecedents. To-day the prisoners were brought from the House of Ittention in the police van, and on arriving at the court, . istead of the van being driven into the — courtyard and is gates closed, as is the usual wont, the prisoner's were holed out of the van in the public road to be taken trough the police-station.

The prisoOers:whi; laughed whilst their antecedents w being related to the niagistrate, said they should re use their defence for a higher tribunal where they had no debt they would have full and ample justice done them.

The prisoners danced out of the dock, and treated the stole of the proceedings as a good joke. WESTM NSTER. HEATERATE AMA rirs HT THE 3111.TTART.

Six or seven constable s took the prisoner Hitohin Rochester-row, where another body of the household mope attempted another rescue, but they were ultimately at to thestation. Hitchin was very drunk. Hitches said that the woman insulted him, and the %stables brutally used him ; and 11P/issue denied using a belt or attempting a rescue, but said he wished his anrade to go quietly, and was treated like a dog, and :eked about at the station because he was • soldier.

AMENDMENTS TO THE REFORM BILL. Last evening notice was given of further amend ments on the motion for going into committee on the above bill. Sir A. Buller intends to move that, in the opinion of this house, in the event of the adoption of any scheme of grouping already represented boroughs, the question whether any borough shall be grouped or not shall depend rather upon the number of electors in such borough than upon its general population. Mr. Goldsinial proposes to move " that this house is of opinion that, if the proposal of the government to group boroughs having, according to the census of 11461, a popu lation of less than R,OOO be adopted, it is expedient that all boroughs which then had a population above 8,000, but under 10,000, and which return two members, should henceforth return oneonly; anal that all groups of boroughs. the combined population of which, according to the said census, was above 10,000, should in future return two members to this house." In committee Sir Rainsld Knightley will move clauses to the effect that in every case in which manifest corrup tion or bribery shall be proved to have occurred in the election of any member or members to sit in parliament for any city or borough, the seat or seats for such city or borough shall be transferred to the county. Sir Lawrance Palk at the end of clause 3 will move to add, " That as there are many town/ rapidly increasing in wealth and population, and containing, by the last census, upwards of 16,000 inhabitants, it is not expedient to diminish the number of seats at present existing in Eng land." Mr. Foley intends to move that a member be given to West Bromwich, with the adjoining towns of Tipton and Wednesbury ; and that if a seat cannot be allotted for West Bromwich from places proposed to be disfranchiaed by the bill, that one member be taken from the borough of Tavistock for the purpose. STRAVCE SUICIDE OP A DOMESTIC SERVANT. INQuEsT. 7 (THIS DAY.) This forenoon, Mr. John Humphreys, coroner, held an inquiry at the Sir George Osborne's Head Tavern, Prince-street, Spitalfields, relative to the suicide of Ann Williams, aged 17 years. Mr. Jane 'Bird, wife of the landlord of the Sir George Osborne's Head, said that deceased was her servant, and on Friday evening last witness discovered that she had been in the habit of buying cheap milk at Sd. a quart, instead of the best at 4.1. a quart, and I keeping the difference in price. She had been 'peel/illy told to get the best, as it wee wanted for Mr. pird, who was ill. When the milk-girl told the fact deceased shook her head at her, bat she did not deny it, and upon witness saying that she was surprised at her doing such a thing for a penny, which she could have got for the asking, she turned away very sulky. Witness being very partial to her did not discharge her or say any thing more. Mr. John Bird said that on the evening in question, between 9 and 110 o'clock, he heard the water running over from the butts in the yard. He went out and found the deceased head downwards in the larger water-butt. He called some persons out of the parlour, who extricated the body, but life was quite extinct. She must have climbed on the lower butt, and by standing on it reached the larger one. Mr. A. M. Champneys, M.R.C.S., said that he was called in, and every effort was made to resuscitate the de ceased, but without avail. She had fallen upon a spike of wood plugging a hole in the bottom of the waterbutt. Ellen Stubbings, a married sister of the deceased, said that she never made any complaints of her place, but always gave her mistress a good character. The Coroner said that it was quite in accordance with modern practice for the servant to give her mistress a character.; it would be satisfactory to Mrs. Bird to know that the character she got was a good one. No doubt the shame of being detected in a petty theft haa acted upon deceased's mind, and caused her to destroy her life. The jury returned a verdict of " Suicide while in a state of unsound mind." FATAL STREET ACCIDENT. Mr. W. Payne, the Southwark coroner, held an inquiry at Guy's Hospital, last night, touching the death of George Holden, aged 55 years. Deceased was a carman in the employ of Mr. Penny, a coal merchant, of Deptford. On Friday he was driving a horse and cart laden with timber along the Mill lane, Deptford, when the horse ran in upon the pavement and dashed the man against the wall of the Golden Fleece public-house. Before the bystanders could take hold of the horse, the man was crushed in a dreadful manner, between the side of the cart and the wall of the house. Several persons rushed forward and caught hold of the horse, and the deceased was taken to the hospital, where he lingered in great agony until Sunday, when death put a period to his sufferings. Taylor, house surgeon, said that the deceased's stomach was crushed in a shocking manner, and he had received other injuries, many of his bones being broken. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental ISmth." Ma Gov't:MOUNT LOAN TO RAILWAYS.—The assistance to Irish railways, which we announced exclu sively on Saturday, is to be, as we stated, a loan at 4 per cent., not 31 per cent. as is stated by a contemporary this morning. It is a temporary measure to relieve companies whose bonds fall due in the present year from the pressure incident to the financial crisis.—Dublin Evening Mail. DEATH FROM HIDROPHOSIA.—A death from this horrible disease occurred on Saturday last, at Kevington. A man named Page, who had worked on Dir. Berens' estate for many years asodd man, and whooccasionallaisted the keeper in feeding the dogs, heard some of the b ea gles lug, when he attempted to separate them, and one bit him on the lip and on the thumb. The next day the dogs were suspected to be mad, and the man was sent to Birling to ' get the celebrated drinks. The unfortunate man, how ever, took to drinking, and madness very soon exhibited itself, as he barked and snapped like a dog. He was fay. tend to the bed and chloroform administered, but he never rallied, and died on Saturday marling. A widow and four children have been left totally unprovided for. — Maidstone Journal.

C eon na rlf ICAL SOCIZTY. —Yesterday afternoon the :tritli annual general meeting of the members of this society was held at Burlington House. Sir Roderick Murchison, the president, occupied the chair. The report of the council for the year having been unani mously adopted, Sir Roderick proceede I to ats.:A the royal medals given yearly by the society for the eneourage• meet of geographical science and discovery. The first of these, the Founder's Medal, was presented to Dr. Thomas Thomson, M. 1).. F.R.S., for his exploration of the Western Himalayas and Thibet, and for his work thereon. The Patrons' Medal wa. awarded to Mr. Wm. (landless, M.A. (his brother receiving it for hin), for his recent unaided exploration of the river Punts from its mouth on the river Amazon nearly to its source, a distance of 1,80101 miles. A purse containing 100 guineas was next presented to M. I)u Chaillu to reimburse him fur the lots or his in struments in Western Africa, and also as a testimonial of the value of his services to the geography and charto graphy of the reoion he explored. A gold watch was also awarded to kloola-Abdul-Medjitl, for services rendered to geographical science by his adventurous journey from I'eshawur to Kokand along the upper valley of the Oxus, and across the Pamir steppes. A new clause having been added to the regulations of the society. empowering them to admit cm the free list a very limited number of gentle men to the fellowship, Sir Roderick Murchison rose and delivered his anneal address. In the course of it he re ferred to a project to explore the northern coast line and interior of Greenland. One of its youngest associates, Mr. Whymper, already distinguished by his courage ma self.rieliance in surmounting the 1 highest peaks of the Alps, has conceived the bold idea of penetrating along the surface of its glaciers into the interior of this snow-clad oontinent, he being con vinced, from the great number of deer that find their way to the coast, that there are within the glaciers well grassed valleys and recesses. Mr. Whymper believes it is I also possible to trace by land the extent of Greenland to the north, which was one of the main geographical objects of the late projected polar expedition. He would be acoom pained only by a well-trained Danish guide, who was ready at Copenhagen. A preliminary trip would be made next Kummer. This enterprise Sir Roderick considered as I truly the at pita ultra of individual British geographical adventure. Later in the evening the fellows of the society. with a number of invited pleats, dined together, according to custom, at Willis's-rooto& THE EASTKAN FISHIRIES.—The mackerel fishery ,I is now being prosecuted off the eastern coast. But few , I mackerel have been secured, however, by the Great Var . mouth boats during the last few days , owing to the preva lence of easterly winds. Prime have ranged from 44.1. to sl'is. per 120. The Lowestoft boats have also made no great progress at present. dis stns Hr . ai 37 12 86 5 4S - f 8 1% - 46
