Atkinson and a com mon jury, Taylor and wife brought an action for slander against Brighten and wife. Damages were laid at 1001. Mr. Kemp appeared for the plaintiffs, Mr. Butler Rigby the defendant*. It appeared that the parties Tar r : I :MI: 4 J :aura, and upon a certain day mutual recrimi nations ensued between the women. It was alleged on the part of the plaintiff that Mrs. Brighten had accused Mrs. Taylor of keeping a house of accommodation, and letting young men into the premises at all hours of the night. Upon cross-examination, Mrs. Taylor admitted that she had told defendant's wife that she (Mrs. Brigh ten) kept a common lodging-house, and that it further came out that Mrs. Taylor had used strong language, though she stated that she only did so under great provo cation, and she persisted that the commencement of the quarrel arose out of a charge against Mrs. Taylor's daugh ter of sweeping dirt upon defendant's door-step. After the cross-examination of Mrs. Taylor, his lordship sug gested that the patties should come to terms. They were neighbours, and, being in a respectable position, might reasonably arrange this dispute. In the course of the con versation that ensued it transpired that the defendants had brought a cross action against the plaintiffs in the Court of Common Pleas, and it was arranged that both causes should be abandoned, each party paying their own costa. The jury were then discharged. DESPERATE ENCOUNTER WITH HICOPPAYMEN ry NorrIMIZAMOURX.—At the Shire Hall, Nottingham yesterday (Wednesday), three men, named William; Mocker, William Beattie, and Dennis Knight, were charged with assaulting and robbing John Gregory, at Hue/mall Torkard, near Nottingham, last Sunday night. Prosecutor stated that shortly after 10 o'clock in the evening just named he, in company with two friends, set out to walk from the village of Ralmall to Hucknall, a distance of three mile*. When they had gone some distance he lost his friends, owing to the darkness of the night and he not knowing the proper road. After he bad walked about half a mile further he passed the prisoners, who were going the same way as himself. T i ri a, then went on for about three hundred y when Maclear stepped up to him and com manded him to "stand and deliver," to which pro secutor replied he should " deliver to no man." Us pm this Maclear struck him a violent blow on the right side of the head, and Beattie commenced to kick and strike him with great force. ()wing to the ill-usage he received prosecutor; fell into the hedge bottom, and all three pri soners then attacked him. Madam. drew • knife, and said "Let's cut the —'atheist!" Knight then held his hands while Maclear thrust the knife into his mouth, saying, "Am Ito cut your throat?" Prosecutor resisted to the utmost in his power, but Pfaclear " jobbed " his mouth several times with the Imile, and inflicted serious injuries, while Beattie attempted to rifle his pockets. The struggle continued fiercely for some time, but ultimately prosecutor succeeded in making a cry of " Murder," when his assail ants made off. He afterwards met his two friends, and gave information to the police, and the prisoners were ap prehended during the night. His coat, waistcoat, and users were saturated with blood. The bench com mitted the prisoners for trial. Prosecutor had a consider able sum of money upon him, but he only lost half-a crown. He has been under medical advice ever since the outings was committed. NARROW ESCAPE FROM Dwowwrwo.—The Rev. Mr. Finnemore, a visitor to Dawlitrh, narrowly escaped being drowned on Monday. He was bathing in the gen tlemen's bathing cove, and having swam about for some time, and feeling tired, he attempted to stand, not know ing that he was in deep water. He sank immediately, and was not able to recover himself . Wellington, the bathing superintendent, saw him go down, and called to two gentlemen swimming very near that the man was drowning, but they took no notice. Wellington saw him go down the second time, and plunged in after him ; but by the time ho got to the spot Mr. Finnemore went down a third time. Wellington saw his head about four feet under eater, and he dived after him and caught hold of his hair. The drowning man seized him, and they sank together. Wellington shook him off, and then caught him by the arm (this was in twelve feet of water), _and succeeded in swimming with him to a rope attached to the diving platform. Quick, the other bathing superin tendent, and Wellington got Mr. Finnemore on shore, to all appearance dead. He was rubbed with coarse towels for nearly two hours before life was visible. In the meantime several parties went in search of a medical man, but none could be found until Mr. Finnemore had been taken to his lodging. Late in the day be was pro nounced out of danger. . _ A FARMER KILLED BY A BOAR.—At Swavesey, in Cambridgeshire, on Tuesday last, Mr. James Williams met his death under singular circumstances. In the after noon a number of swine escaped from a yard to which he intended to confine them, and amongst them a boar. De ceased rushed to turn them back, when the boar suddenly attacked him, thrtw him down and gored him, tearing open his thigh and severing the main arteries. He died almost immediately. FATALISM.—An inquest was held yesterday at the German Hospital by Mr. J. Humphreys, coroner, re lative to the death of a brewer's servant, named Peter Murrell, aged 68 years. From the evidence it appeared that deceased was employed at the Stamford Brewery, and that on Saturday last he was at work with another man making beer in a vast copper. The deceased had to throw in hops, and there was a sort of stage for him to stand upon, so that he could fling in the hops without getting on the top of the copper, a perilous practice against which he had been often cautioned by his employers. However, as the using of the stage involved a little extra trouble, ho generally disregarded the caution, and it appeared that he was in the habit of saying to his daughter If lain fated to fall into the copper, then I shall fall in, do what I can ; so it is of no use bothering about precautions."

Five ragged lads, named Coombe; JPQmeen, Botha child, Wars, and Brotonlow, were this morning brought before the Lord Mayor, under the following circum stances: It appea red from the statements made by two City police coasts named Hill and Twoee, that on Wednesday after noon they were on duty in the Poultry, and observed the five prisoners, and, knowing them, they watched their proceedings. One of them first went up to • van and endeavoured to steal some sugar from it and then they walked on a short distance and another of the prisoners went into the shop of an optician and was sneaking his way stealthily round the shop towards the till. He I•lllldiscover*d and turned out. M'Queen then went into a pastrycook's shop and brought out a lot of tarts and buns, and the little party adjourned to the corner of • street, where they speedily disposed of the plunder apparently with great satiefactiori. Having thus refreshed themselves, they started again, and one of the prisoners put his hand into the pocket of a boy who was walking along and pulled out a newspaper. When the boy remonstrated with him Brownlowan dWare, who were the biggest of the party, interposed, and began to bully the boy, and he was glad to get away from them. The prisoners then went to the Poultry, and Brownlow went into a clothier's shop and stole a waist coat, and he then joined his companions, and they were taken into custody, but they resisted violently and at tempted to bite both the constables. Partridge, the gaoler, informed the Lord Mayor, that the prisoner who gave the name of Rothschild had been before committed for 21 days for felony. The prisoners were remanded, in order that some in quiries might be made about them. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. VINLEN AND Urn LANDLORD. Rosekelly, one of the warrant o ffi cers of the court, this morning informed Mr. Knox that, in accordance with the ejectment warrant placed in his hand, he went on Mon day to No. 9, Princes-row, where he found Millen and his three children lying on an old mattress, almost in a state of nudity. He left word that if Finlen did not get out by 10 o'clock the next morning he should eject him. Accordingly the next morning he went to the place, and found Finlen, a man lodger, and the three children huddled up together on the mattress. One of the children had on a very old and ragged coat, but no trousers, and the third had not a vestige of clothing on. He found in the room, betides the old mattress a frying-pan and a dish, which had been con verted into chamber utensils. Platen ordered the children to leave, and they did so, and went to a neigh bouring house, but not being taken in, they were subsequently taken to St. James's Work house and left there, but last night they were taken away by some person. Mr. Knox said that there was no actual desertion of the children, and he had no doubt the parochial authorities would not have r u the children up to any person sinless they were satisfied as to their right to do so. There was now as en d of the matter. SOUTHWARK. •MAITIR. LED ROBBERY OF A BURGEON TS WAYERLOO-ROAD. Jistrick Crook, 22, and Jolts Ettalivon, well known as being connected with a deskiemte gang of thieves infest ing the New-cut and vicinity, were charged with being concerned, with others not in custody, in stealing a gold watch and chain from the person of Joarph Harrop. Prosecutor mid he was a surgeon, and resided at 184, Stamford-street. About 20 minutes past 9 o'clock last night he was in the Waterloo-road, going towards his re sidence. lie bad just passed the railings of St. John's Church, when from the side of a court called La Grande Place a man suddenly rushed out and struck him a blow on the chest with his list. Before prosecutor could recover himself the man dragged his gold watch and chain of the value of IW., from his waistcoat, and then struck him another violent blow on the jaw. He was about to follow the man down the court, when another one sprang out from a dark corner and struck him on the head with a atone which be had in his hand, and nearly stunned him. They then made oft, and he gave informa tion to the police. The prisoner Crook is the one who first attacked him and stole his watch, and to the best of his belief the ether was the man who struck him with the stone. Sergeant John Langley, 10 1., said he had saeertained prisoners to have been seen near the spot just previous to the robbery. He met them this morning in Stam ford-street, and followed them to the Stamford Arms, and thence to Hattield-street. He stopped Crook, and Police constable 28 L the other . prtsoner. He told them they were wanted for a rie t le Waterloo-road, when Crook said they knew no about it, and that witness was getting it ap for them. utor afterwards picked out both prisoners from a number of persons, as those who had robbed him. _ - . _ . - The prisoners were further charged with baying robbed a man in the Flowers of the Forest Tavern, adjoining the Surrey Theatre, and were remanded.

This morning Mr. Richards, deputy-coroner, hold an investigation at the Anchor and Hope tavern, West Ferry-road, Poplar, respecting the death from alleged ill-treatment of Jane Hi6iguts, aged 48 years. The case excited considerable mterest in the district, in consequence of rumours that she had been cruelly used. It appeared from the evidence that both the deceased and a man with whom she cohabited were habitually in temperate, and that the latter had frequently used violence towards ber by striking her with his fiats. Dr. J. Sergeant said that when be was called to the de ceived he found her suffering from great debility. There was a scar on the right cheek bone. Witness was not then told anything about the illtreatment she had re ceived. The right arm and shoulder were covered with bruise*. There was • wound on the head. The poat•meitem app ea rances indicated that the deceased was a "hard drinker." The cause of death was infiam nation of the lungs. Her death had been accelerated by expaure. The blows received bad not shortened life. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the evidence.

The report having been taken as reed, The Causcr.pr, after observing that he was suffering from indispointen, said the company's affairs were on b e lezz sound con on. Every shilling of interest was against revenue, and the terminable mortgage land debt was provided against by a permanent debenture stock. They were at peace with all their neighbours. The increase of gross revenue had been 12,0001., while the expenses had been reduced to the amount of 8,7001. Various circum stance", including the Paris traffic, were to be taken into account in making a comparison ; and the real permanent 'screams in the ordinary earnings was equal to 1 per cent. per annum in the dividend - . The hon. gentleman then entered at great length into the question of the raising of fares, and contended that the company had acted not only within their legal rights bat also consistently with justice. In all businesses a profit of 6 per cent. was always reckoned upon, and as that company was only making 2 or 3 per cent. it was clear that it bed a right to raise the fares, provided it did not go beyond the maximum allowed by law. Boon after delivering his speech Mr. Watkin was com pelled by the state of his health to retire, being succeeded by the Hon. James Byng. After some discussion the report was adopted, and a dividend at the rate of 2t per cent, per annum declared. The proceedings terminated in the usual manner. 'SHIPPING INTELLIGANCIL-(THIS DAY.)

The wounded man, George Ketley, was quite unfit to be present, and his deposition was taken at his own house. The prisoner, William Poyser, was charged with shooting Ketley with a pistol, loaded with powder and shot, with intent to marder him, but there was no charge preferred against him with refe rence to his attempt to shoot his wife.

CLOBING A FOOTWAY AT HAMPTON COURT.— The Head of the Board of Works seems determined to have his way, or rather to indulge the caprice of one resi dent in the royal apartments, in respect of the paved path which runs along the garden front of the palace. On August 1 wenoticed that a policeman was on duty from 2 o'clock till six to keep visitors off the pavement, but now, in addition to that, notice boards have be en put up, one at either end, and one in the centre, requesting the public to abstain from walking on the pavement in front of the palace windows. As the boards at the end are flied into the ground, it would seem that this path is to Ds tabooed con tinually. The first order was that it was to be kept private for four hours only each day. Now, because one lady com plains that she is annoyed by persons paring so close to her windows, the path is to be no longer open to the public. What will be the next move it is hard to ry, bat if this can be done so easily, we may soon expect to hear of the closing of some of the picture rooms at holiday times, because the noise of the people passing through is a nuisance to the occupiers of apartments adjoining, or under the rooms Perhaps, to smooth the way to that step; the public will Past be excluded from some of the corridors, courts, or walks because their presence there annoys tome other whimsical lady. We believe we are correct in saying that this order is viewed not at all favourably by many of the residents in the palace.— , Serrep Come. 1 1:00) • lnarerettplt.
