The plaintiff was • journeyman carpenter and joiner, and the defendant was a milliner in Westminster -bridge - road. The action was to recover damages for assault, false impriaounient, and slander. Mr. Gray, Q.C.. and Mr. Littler appeared for the plain tiff ; and Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., for the defendant. The plaintiff's ease was that on the afternoon of the sth Deo. last he saw some people in the Burlington-arcade looking at a Mont St. Bernard dog which belonged to the defendant, and be stopped to admire it. The defendant thereupon tapptd him on the shoulder and said, " I arrest you for being a returned convict." Plaintiff laughed, but the defendant said he was serious, and the plaintiff must go with him to the police station. The plaintiff said he should not go, and the defendant then asked the beadle to take him in charge, and that func tionary referred them to the police, and the plaintiff went into Piccadilly, followed by the defendant, who caught him by the arm and said he should show bim his hands. He seized him by the collar, and said he was • detective officer, and the plaintiff must go to the station. In this way they got to the station, where the defendant charged him with an assault and with not behaving like a gentle. man. The sergeant on duty refused to take the charge. The defence was that the plaintiff was snapping his fingers to attract the dog, and when asked what be wanted with the dog, aid, " What is that to you?" and lambed him. After some words the plaintiff called the defendant a -- rogue, and the defendant, being irritated, said, " I should take you for • returned convict." More words mimed, and they reached the station. The defendant, in his r :Menne, denied most of the statements of the plain tiff. Cr.!. stated positively that he never laid a band upon the plaintiff, never said be was • detective, and never took hint into custody. The jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, one farthing. THE POLICE COURT& MANSION-HOUSE. Two well-dressed bo_ys, named Thomas Pow and John were charged with stealing a purse containing fifteen sovereigns from the shop of Mr. Lewis, limner, ld„ amenable. The prisoner Page was an errand-boy in the employment of Mr. Lewin, and on Wednesday afternoon at five o'clock be left the shop, and did not return. Suspecting that something was wrong, Mr. Lewis examined the cash drawer. and found that a purse and lei/. in gold was mis ming, and he then gave information to the police, the result of which was that Page and the other prisoner, Chadsey, were apprehended at King's-cross station on Thursday night, and taken to Row-lane station. There Page ad mitted, in presence of detective-sergeant Hancock, that he had taken the money, but said that be should never have done it had it not been for Chadsey, who told him he wanted to get a chip and go to sea, and asked him (Page) if be would go with him. He also added that it was no use their going without money, and that they must seine money. Chadsey said, " Lot I did no tell you to steal it." Page replied, " Yes you did ; how do you suppose I was to get it unless I stole it ? You said. we shall want 141. or 151.._ and I took this purge, .ind there was just 15!. in gold in it. I place After taking it (Page continued) went to Charlsey's in Gower-street. Easton-road, and called him out, and we went down to Manchester together. I paid the fare, IL tie., for both of us. From Manchester we went to Liverpool, and then returned to London, because Cheadle, did not like to stop at Liverpool." Charlaey said, " I ilia not tell you to rob your master. i told you I wanted to go to sea. and you said you would like to go too. In Manchester did I not want to get away from you, and you would not give me any money for fear I should leave you?" Page directly said. " I gave you half • sovereign," to which Chadsay re plied, " Yea, but I gave you it hick again." Page said, "No, you did uot." William Thorogood, • police-constable on the Great Northern Railway, stated that on Thursday night, about 7 o'clock, he received a telegram at Eing'recress saying that a train would arrive at 10.10 p.m., and very likely two boys would be in it. The train arrived at 11.10, teeing an hour late, sod the two prisoners came out of ono of the carriages. He stopped them, and Page toll him where they Imel been, and, after souse pressing, said he hail stolen some money from his employer, Mr. Lewis, in Cheapside. He then took them to Bow-lane station, and a purse and 11/. in gold w.lll taken out of Page's left boot. He had besides half a eoveruign and 00. in silver. Sergeant Hancock said he went to Page's fatherin-law's, where he received a hoe containing • scarf, two bottles of scent, and a ring, which the prisooer said be had taken from Sir . Levi" .' ; half.a.donen collars, which be said be had taken from the counter of No. 16, Poultry ; a black woollen mid, which he said he had taken from Mr. W e atherby's. che epsatin .:de ; a blue scarf, which he said he had taken from Messrs. Lloyd's, Wood street, and half *gross of pearl buttons, which he said be bad taken from • shop in Conant!. Mr. Alderman Bailey remanded the prisoners till Mon day, in order that they might he dealt with in petty me llitus, and reworked that if they ploiaded not guilty they would have to go to the Old Bailey. 4 !haihey said he was guilty of guing with Page, but not of receiving any of the money. Page Hid I not give you half ri sovereign? t!hadeey- -Yes ; but I gave it you hack. The Alderman observed that the one wan as bad as the other, and hr was not sure that Chadsey was not the ooze mantling geniiit. They were then remanded. GUILDHALL.

COVET-MARTIAL ON SERGEANT MAGUIRE, TEI ALLEGED FWIIAN.—The general court-martial appointed to try Sergeant Francis Maguire. of the 72nd Highlanders. for supposed complicity with Fenianism, was concluded on Thursday last. The trial took place M the barracks, Weedon, to which place Maguire had been removed. There was noexcitement, and few persons seemed to be aware of the trial taking place. Colonel Elrington, of the 4th battalion Rifle Brigade, was president of the court ; Lieutenant-Colonel Main was the deputy judge-advocate ; and Major Hunter, of the 72nd, posectited. On Tuesday morning the prisoner mss arraigned on four charges, viz.—First. For conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, fr that he did on the 24th November, 1867, o in the public streets o rate Manchester, knowingly and wilfully join in a party pon intended as • demonstration of sympathy with a Reasonable association called the Fenian Brother hood. Secondly. For conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, for that he on the day aforesaid, in the public streets afocessid, did uuntenance and attend • meeting for party and political purposes. Thirdly. For conduct to the prejudice of pod order and military disci pline, for that he did whilst on guard at the New Bailey Prison, Salford, make use of language in- subordinate and calculated to create alarm, by saying. "If there were fifty man like me we should soon get the prisoners out," or words to that effect. Fourthly. For conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, for that he did, on the day aforesaid, and at the place aforesaid, make use of language insub ordinate and calculated to create alarm, by saying, "If there were thirty men like me I would defy the guard or • hundred men to keep them out of the prison," or words to that effect. A number of witnesses were examined in sup port of the charges, and the Deputy Judge-Advocate having reviewed the evidence the court deliberated, but the re sult, RS a matter of course, will not be known until officially published. THE WREcli 01 THE CHICAGO.—This unfortu nate vessel is an entire wreck. The Cork Examiner says that at an early hour on Wednesday morning she com menced to break up. The wind, which was blowing vio lently from the S.W. on Tuesday, changed at dusk to a northerly point, but a heavy ground swell set in, to which the vessel was obliged to succumb. Tremendous waves rolled continually over the ship, shaking her greatly ; for while the in-coining wave would thrust her further on shore, the receding one would, with equal force, bring her out. Though strongly built she was—and ample proof of her strength was given by the manner in which she withstood the gale of Tuesday —the ship could not hold out long in such weather as this, and on Wednesday morning at day-light it was perceived that both her masts and funnel were gone, having been literally shaken out of their places by the bossy rolling of the ship on the rocks. Her decks were also much strained, and a little later in the morn ing she commenced to break on the starboard side. The Chicago was then in the same position—her stem facing the westward—but she was lying entirely over on the port side. Her bottom oould be easily men from the shore, and from the large breach which was first made amidships on the starboard bilge by striking on the reef, her plates began to separate. At five on Wednesday evening she parted in the middle, and the cargo, con misting of grain and cotton, were soon after Imbed on shore. The shore is also strewn with wreck, consisting of cabin furniture, sails, ss pan, and it was stated that during the night ggrreeaat plunder of articles of this kind was made by the wreckers. Coastguards, a few marines, and police were there ; but owing to the length of oust over which they had to watch, and the fewness of their numbers, it was impossible to prevent the plunder. Wednesday morning, however, when the news reached Queenstown of the condition of the ship, • further detachment of marines was sent to the scene of the wreck, and it is expected the valuable portion of the cargo—the cotton—will all be saved. Inducement is also offered the wreckers, by liberal payment ; to restore any of the wrecked property they pick up, and it is ex pected this will help to the recovery of a good deal. The Chicago is insured for 60,000/. ; but, of course, that sum will not at all cover the loss. The dissensions in the London Rifle Brigade of Volunteers are happily at an end. At a meeting of the Court of Lieutenancy on Thursday afternoon, Major Rose naked to be permitted to withdrew his name as • candidate for the second lieutenant-coloneley of the brigade, as he was most reluctant to do anything likely to jeopardise its interests. The court approved and commended the action of Sir W. Rose and the letter of withdrawal was ordered to be forwarded to the Warroffice forthwith. VOLUNTEKIrs YOH THE POPS.— A correspondent sends the following to the Liverpool Daily Post :—" A short time ego an advertisement appeared in one of the local weekly papers, intimating that volunteers' were ' wanted for foreign service.' Many inquiries were put forward as to what service they were required for, and it was whispered at the time they were to assist Garibaldi in his raid upon the Papal States. Since then all doubts have been cleared up, inasmuch as the men are wanted to form an English brigade for the defence of his Holiness. Several of the leading members of the catholic community throughout England took the matter in hand, and in a abort time the whole of the preliminary arrangements for the formation of a brigade were completed. Liverpool being one of the chief centres of catholicity in this country, it is contemplated to make it a rendezvous for the battalion. On Friday night a meeting of several of the promoters of the scheme was held at the Victoria Hotel, Limmstreet. During the evening the warmest sentiments were expressed for the welfare of his Holiness, and the maintenance of his tem poral power. It was decided to place the whole of the military arrangements under the management of an expe rienced officer, and with that object • gentleman. who has held rank in the British and American services, has been offered, and has formally accepted the command. A large number of efficient men have already been enrolled, and it may be safely predicted that ere long the first batch of the English detachment will be on their way to Rome." — Weekly Register. TYPHMUs. —The correct pronunciation of the name of this Derby horse has formed the subject of mad derable discussion, one party eonteading that the letters o • should be written and spelled as • diphthong, and that the pronunciation should be Ty-phieus. Thin u incorrect The proper way of spelling the name is Typhoeus, and the correct mode of pronunciation is 7y-pAo-rus. The reason of this is, that in the original Greek the final letter of the penultimate is omega, or broad 0, which does not form • diphthong with another vowel ; were it spelled in the Greek with OV:itYO3l, or short o as la Phoilms, and efusikr words, it would form a diphtho ngi with e and in English would be spelled " Typisceus."--Sportiag Lila Teen CONVEYANCIL or PADPRRS FROM ENGLAND To lartdorn.—Tise act passed in • recent motion of puller ment for the protection of pauper women and children while being conveyed from England to this country was surely never intended to render a proceeding such as that of the removing officer of the Liverpool Talon It apron that • man named Carey, who titators that he is 71 years of age, was sent over from Liver pool to Dublin as • deck passenger on thri night of the 9th instant.

THE, PROPOSID SOUTHERN RAILWAY FEDERAL. rnor.—The inhabitants of Brighton look with much disfa vour upon the proposed amalgamation of the Southern Railway Companies. As is well known, parliament bad sanctioned the making of • second and competing line to the popular resort, which line was granted on the joint request of the South Eastern and Chatham and Dover Companies. These companies now apply to parliament to abandon the scheme, and the towurpeople are greatly annoyed at what they look upon as a breach of faith. The town council took the matter up, and at this week's meeting • report was presented by the General Purposes Committee upon the subject. The report recommended that the bill abandoning this line, the bill of the Brighton Railway Company for abandoning certain works and taking to increase the existing rates and fares, and the W e lts establishing a working union of the companies, should be injuriouspoeed, " many of their provisions being very to the general interests of the borough." IThe committee therefore recommended that the town council should petition against the bills, and direct the town clerk " to make the most strenuous opposition to their passing (into law." In supporting the adoption of the report, Alderman Smaller* said that if the South Western Company joined this amalgamation they would have one of the most monstrous monopolies in creation. The public would be more avowed than ever. We should have minimum aecommodationland maximum charge. He could not conceive that parliament would allow the whole south of England to be committed to the hands of these monopolists. He hoped that not only . the inha bitants of Brighton but of all the towns in the four southern counties would induce their members to oppose these bills in parliament, and so get rid of a gigantic mo nopoly. Mr.lticu (councillor) said visitors had been driven from Brighton to other places by the iate increase of fares. Mr. Lamb said the conduct of the South Eastern Company had been a monstrous insult to the town. They had induced the inhabitants to support the second and independent line, and had then abandoned it to enter into this combination. It was no use to talk or appeal to di rectors, but be hoped they would have the support of the public in opposing this violation of faith on the part of those who had so bungled and mismanaged affairs as to be obliged to ask the public to put their hands in their pockets and pay for that mismanagement. The motion for adopting the report and opposing the bills was carried unanimously. A COAL PIT ON FIRE.—At Mr. Stone's colliery, Handley-green, near Wigan, • serious fire has been raging during the past week. It is supposed to have been caused by the man in charge of the furnace placing • quantity of hot ashes in • tub at the bottom of the shaft, and neglect ing to send them up on Saturday night. The fire was dia. covered early on Sunday morning, when of course the coal in the neighbourhood of the pit eye was in combustion. On Monday morning the pit was covered in. and it con tinued in that state till Wednesday, when an engine be longing to Mr. Diggle, of Higher Hall, was brought to bear upon the dames. The engine was worked fur the greater part of the day, and an attempt was then made to get through the working., but before half an hour had elpmed the fire broke out again, and the men were corn. to return to the surface. The shaft was again closed, and on Thursday night or yesterday it was proposed to wake another attempt, though it was feared it would be unsuccessful. About 30 men have been thrown out of em ployment. A STRIKE AT A COTTON MlLL.—There is now pending, at the mill of Mr. Richard Goodair, Preston, a dispute that has already caused some comm otion, and is likely to remit in legal procieedinp being taken on the part of the operatives. On the 4th of January the " wilts" , woven at Mr. Goodair's establishment were changed from Ws to 40's cloth, and this was accompanied by a reduc tion of Nit. in the payment for its weaving. The opera tives calculated that the change would involve only a re duction of 9-101. in the paynieut, and sent several deputa tions to the master to see if an alteration could not be effected. Having met with no success, about a quarter to twelve on Monday week 250 of the operatives stopped their looms, and refused to work until a wore just settle. went had been agreed upon. During the dinner hoar a deputation waited upon Mr. Edmondson, the secretary of the Power-loom Weavers' Association, and he told them the operatives should at once resume work, but the deputation were unable to Induce the opera tives to accept this advice, and a meeting was hell in the evening at the Stockwell Inn, Brookatreet, when Mr. Edmundson prevailed upon them to begin work at the usual time next morning, and to give their notices in on Thursday morning if they could not get their grievances redreemd. No arrangement having been come to, on Thursday all the workpeople' gave their notices in, with the exception of about ten who were connected by family ties with persons filling other situations in the mill. On Saturday afternoon each of those who bad stopped their looms on the Monday had a deduction made in the week's earnings of 2a. lid., and this caused a great deal of gr umbling on the p art of the operatives, who contended that the loos was one which they bad to bear themselves, and that as they were only off five hours the deduction was altogether unreasonable and excessive. As the opera tives thus fined numbered about 250, the tosal amount deducted was upwards of 301. The question has been already submitted to the consideration of • legal gentle man, and it is very probable that the question as to the legality of flue, dc., will be fully investigated before the borough magi strates in the course of next week. —Preston Berabi. THE THREATENED STRIKE IN NORTH STAFFORD fooRg,—With reference to the threatened strike in the North Staffordshire iron trade, we are informed that so great was she disinclination of the employers to propose a reduction in the wages of the men, that at their last meet ing it was suggested that the works should be closed for a time with the simple announcement that the current peioes of iron did not enable them to pay the present rate of wages, and to leave the men to make any proposal of their own ; but against that it was argued that it was taking a great responsibility upon themselves to deprive a large body of workmen of employment, and that the alternative should he presented to the men of • reduc tion of wages to • rate at which the ironmasters mold take orders. At the same time the ironmesters stated distinctly that with them it was simply a question of closing their works until better prices could be ob tained, or of inducing the men to consent to reductions which would enable them to compete in the market with other district& It is a fact that some of the konmasters have during the depression of trade which has now existed for so me time past, made iron for stock with the sole object of giving the men as much employment as possible, without any prospect of selling the iron produced. Under them circumistanees there is not the slightest probability of the employers retreating from the position they have taken. THE CATTLE PLAOUIL—Lord Robert Montagu, M.P., writing to the Hon. J. IL Henniker-Major, H.P.. with reference to the retrospective compensation granted for cattle slaughtered by order of inspect ? is between August 26 and November 23, 1865, says With refe rees, to the delay in the payment of compensation considerable time must necessarily be occupied before Ohms eleims can be settled, and we have usually deferred Eakin any payment. to local authorities until the greater , y moat ed. ,trliheecalmaims amount at their jurisdiction the have hsen Council for compensation is 25,0001.

A requisition has been pretested to Mr. Donald Nicoll, of Oaklands Hall, Kilburn, a jnstioe of the pesos for the county of Middlesex. regneeting him to form a court in the neighbourhood of Kilburn, for the pigmies of swearing in special constables. and a court of petty sessions wid accordingly be held to-day at the Primer of Wales Hotel, West Abbey-road, between the hours of 12 and 4, and again, by adjournment, at the same time and place, on Monday, January 21 The locelity of Kilburn is peculiarly situate, being the meeting point of the four parishes of Marylebone, Peddington, Willesden, and ilampetead ; and but for the spontaneous requisition of the inhabitant, would have had no opportunity of biting its loyalty for the above purpose. On Thursday, at the meeting of the St. Marylebone vestry, the Sewers Committee reported that • letter had been received from Mr. Bssidgette, the chief engineer of was directed to the Metropolitan Board, stating that be acquaint the vestry that, in consequence of information received from the Chief Commissioner of Police, orders Wore been issued directing clerks of works, inspectors of flushing, and others, that on no &mount or pretext what ever are they to allow unauthorised persons to enter the sewers, and to give any such persons attempting so to do into custody ; and the letter further suggested that it was desirable that similar orders should be issued with respect to the sewers under the jurisdiction of the vestry. Upon receipt of the letter the chief surveyor immediately bad the whole of the sewers men sworn in as special constables, and gave instructions that no person should enter the steers without a written authoeity from himself. The vestry approved of the course that had been adopted. The number of special constables who have already responded to the call of the government is in the City sod metropolitan districts more than 46,200. From country towns 34.500 have been returned as having been swan in, so that the grad total as reported is thus iner easod to nearly 85,000. There can, however, be little doubt that the real numbers are largely in excess of these figures, foe in some eases no returns have been made, while those sent from other quarters have frequently been incomplete ; in addition to which many men have been sworn in who have not yet been embodied in the parochial divisions. The members of Lincoln's-inn are being sworn in ae special constables. This is an example which will probably be followed by the other inns. THE LATE FENIAN ARREST IN DUBLIN. We learn from the Freeman's Journal of yesterday that prior to the investigation in Kilmakluun prison on Thursday, the prisoner, Patrick Lennon, who, it was rumoured, was suspected of having been the person who fired the shots at Wellington quay on the morning of the 31st of October, which resulted in the death of Constable Keene, and in the serious wounding of Sergeant Kelly, was brought from his cell for the purpose of ascertaining '7hether he could be identified as the perpetrator of that outrage. The prisoner was placed, it is stated, with 15 others in a group in one of the rooms of the gaoL Sergeant Kelly was directed to enter and to look amongst the persons present to see if be could recognise the person who had fired at him on that occasion. It is said that without hesitation Kelly went towards the prisoner, and, stretching out his band, said, " That is the man." The prisoner, it is stated, betrayed some agitation, but at once resumed his apparently indifferent manner. Sergeant Kelly was then asked if he had any doubt of the matter, and he replied." Not the least." The sergeant was then directed to withdraw, and the woman, who, it may be re membered, deposed at the inquiries on the subject that she saw the shot bred at Keens, was next brought in. Having observed three or four of the parsons in the group, we understand she looked sharply st Lennon and said, " That is just the kind of man I saw fire the shot—l m will forget the look he gave me when he turned rotted his head, and that man (the prisoner) has that look about the eyes." She was asked would she swear that Lennon was the man ! She replied that she would not. Lennon and the other prisoners were then removed front the room, and the proceedings terminated. THREATENED FENIAN ATTACK AT WARWICK.-- Yesterday the superintendent of police at Warwick received a letter, warning him of an alleged intended attack on the town by Yenisei, with a view of liberating the prisoners Burke, Casey, and Shaw, now confined in the county gaol, just beyond the boundaries of the borough. The writer gigue himself "Captain Green," and states that he has been long enough in the brotherhood to be let into every move, but, although • Fenian, he cannot stand by whilst innocent blood is being shed for the sake of a few. He therefore resolved to acquaint the authorities at Warwick that a gang of desperate own would be in that town before Saturday morning, some of whom would leave the train at Leamington, and pate into Warwick by the road. The band altogether would consist of about twenty-four of the stoutest patriots of the brotherhood, and some of them would carry cans of Noblet's tire, their object being to fire some of the principal buildings in the town ; and whilst this engrossed the attention of the police and the soldiers, to attack the gaol and endeavour to effect the re lease of the Fenian prisoners incarcerated in it. They pwassal a plan of the gaol, and would be well armed. The writer added that he knew he ran the risk of being dealt with an a traitor, Mit they would first have to die oover who had revealed their nefarious design. The super. intendent of police immediately communicated with the deputy-mayor, and, although it was felt that the letter might be a hoax, yet it was not deemed prudent to neglect the warning it purported to convey. Steps were accordingly taken to prepare for any emergency that might arise, and to obtain early intimation of any auspicious characters being in the neighlmurhool The deputy-mayor telegraphed to sta tions along the railway, asking for information to be sent immediately if any baud of men left the train whom ap pearance was calculated to arouse suepicion. The military were acquainted with the nature of the warning that bad been received ; end the police of the surrounding district were communicated with, whilst the borough force were on the alert. At the time of the despatch of our parcel no thing further had occurred to excise suspicion, but the authorities are fully prepared fur anything that may occur. The following mysterious occurrence is reported by a correspondent of • Limerick paper :—" Yesterday morning at Dououghmore churchyard, which is about three miles from Limerick, as some labouring men were pro ceeding to their work, they perceived a new coffin above ground in the churchyard- They proceeded at once to in. form the authorities, who came to the spot with them, but on a ppr o aching the co ffi n their courage failed, suspecting Greek tire to be in it, and, after all the praise awarded to the " Royal Irish," they were afraid to uncover the coffin, and all went away again. Up to the time I write, no one hes ventured to open the coffin, and it lies yet in the churchyard for every one to look at."
