On Mr. Maude taking his seat ups. the beach, eleven respectably-dressed persona were charged with furiously idea( upoa Blackheath, to the &Eger of the publie, yester day (Whit -Suuday). The suns derma was made in am* case, viz., that the home, from their training, on tuning the Inures to come to the starting place, became nacos trollahle. Fines were imposed in the several eases, or in deflialtof payment seven days' imprisonment. Two of the officers of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Young and 8•11) were placed upon Blackheath during the day, and Edward Claridge, of Kingistrest, Greenwich, a donkey driver, was charged by them with cruelty to three donkeys by boating them with an fish stick. When taken into custody, the prisoner was very violent. Mr. Maude said the cruelty to which donkeys were 'ob jected was disgraceful, and a Sue of 10e. or 14 days' im prisonment wadi imposed. The prisoutr said he would go to gaoL WHITSUN MONDAY. The brilliant weather to-day is greatly in favour of the stuporous attractions provided for the amusement of the holiday-makers ; and tltroughost the morning the London streets presented a minima* stream of cue, women, and children, all dressed in holiday attire, proceeding to their chosen places of resort. The announcements of " special excursiees," " cheap return tickets," *c., have had the effect of drawing some thou sands in the direction of the several railway station•. Those preferring " a day at the sea-side " were, of course, early astir ; and the trains leaving the London, Chatham, and Dover and South Eastern stations were filled with ex. cursionists destined for Dover, Folkestone, Ramsgate, Margate, dm., whilst the London, Brighton, and South Coast conveyed an unusually large number of visitors to Brighton, Hastings, and other popular places on that line. Walton-on-the-Naze had also its fair share of patrons rid the Great Eastern. Nearer home the low tariff to Gravesend and back by the Tilbury line offered an unprecedented attraction, nor was there any falling off in the traffic in the same direction rid the South-Eastern.The `specials" to Brox bourne and the Rye House received t'aeir full complement of passengers ; and judging from the numbers booking at Shoreditch for Loughton, " the Forest " will exhibit an animated sosne. Hampton-court, Richmond, and the neighbourhood were also thronged with visitors. Tho Horse Show has this year proved an additional attraction. What with the fineness of the day, and the attractions of " Flickee, Flockee, end Fleckulem," at the Crystal Palace, it is likely that the attendance at Sydenham will be above the average. The river traffic was very great, both up ►nd down—the Greenwich ►nd Gravesend boats being crowded ; and the saloon steamen, the Alexandra and Palmerston, left London-bridge filled with passengers for the Nom. A great temperance demonstration also took piece to day. It had been arranged that the various societies should meet in Lincoln's-inn-fields, and by eleven o'clock the northern, southern, and eastern sides of the square were filled with societies, each one distinguished by its banner, and nearly every one being attended by its special band. In addition to these there were life-boat and life-pre serving crews in their blue and red jackets ; the Great Northern Christian Temperance Life-boat Crew, the National Temperance Life-boat Crew, and the Kentish-town Life-preserving Crew. The various societies were placed in position as they ar rived from the various quarters of the metropolis by mar shals on horseback. The societies afterwards marched to the grounds of the ith Surrey Rifles, where the great de monstration of the day was appointed to come off, the programme including openair ineetiop, musical, and other entertainments. THE METROPOLITAN HORSE SHOW. FIRST PUBLIC DAY. The shut• opened to the public at 10 o'clock this morning, and it soon became evident from the num ber of persons who entered the building at that early hour that the assembly will, as the day advances, be an enormous one in point of numbers. In accordance with the official programme issued at the close ofthe judging on Saturday evening it was arranged that the judging should commence with class 9- -Park Racks and Ladies' Horses, in which the Prince of Wales's two Arabs, Kaplan and Rupee, compete with Prince Orloff's b►y Golden Arab, Le Vent, and others of the same breed. Au alteration, however, took place in the arrangements, and the judging commenced with class B—Hones in harness. With regard to the Arabs, although the Prince's specimens are beautiful creatures, Kaplan being an elegant grey, and Rupee a white mare, still the noble proportions of the Russian count's thoroughbred completely threw them into the shade. A better judgment, however, will be formed of their value when they enter the ring and are seen in action. The judges did not enter the arena till nearly 11 o'clock. They were accompanied by Mr. John Clayden, chairman, and Mr. R. Leeds, one of the directors, with Mr. Sidney, secretary and manager ; and the Count De ?dortemert and Count de Mornay, the representatives of the French Emperor, were also present. These harness horses were, generally speaking, very excellent specimens, and many of them received great applause as they trotted round the ring. At the conclusion, when the awards were made, an amusing incident took place. A young gentleman who drove a cheanut was tendered the green riband of commendation, which he indignantly re fused, and amidst the cheers of the people drove round the arena again to show what his animal could do. Class 12 was next judged and the prizes awarded ; and next followed class t containing the Arabi, and a more beautiful sight of the kind can scarcely be imagined. The action of some of the animals was truly splendid. The Prince's were each ridden by a smart, neatly-dressedlgroom ,• whilst Count Orioff's Le Vent was ridden by a professional lady equestrian. There were 34 specimens in this class, and several lady riders; and the extreme care and minuteness with which the judges did their work, and the evenness of thecompetitionrendered it extremely doubtful upon which specimens their choice would fall. It may be mentioned that Professor Simmonds, of the Royal Veterinary College. was in the ring, and no doubt aided the judges in arriving at a conclusion as to points of excellence. The follow ing were the awards made in the harness daises: t'lass 8. —Harness horses cot exceeding 15) hands high. —For the horses of the beat shape with perk action, ex hibited in single harness, with suitable murisges. lit prize, 15/..

A MAN SHOT BY A SOLDIER AT HULL—During the Fenian excitement a detachment of the 17th Brigade of the Royal Artillery was sent down by the govern ment to protect Paull Battery. Last week they re ceived orders to proceed to Gravesend, and the troops arrived iu Hull about 10 o'clock in the morning . , and commenced to embark for Gravesend. A private, named William Heaton, No. 2 Battery, was, with others, ordered to guard the luggage. A barge number of persons were attracted to the spot, and were very curious about the carbine which the soldiers carried. Heaton was very much importuned by a clerk named Hudson to show him the principle of the gun, having first been told that it was on the Snider principle. Heaton exhibited the weapon, and showed how it was loaded and unloaded. This did not satisfy Hudson, who asked him many timer to put • cartridge in the carbine. Heaton said that if he were to do so he should get into trouble. However Ruder ultimately overcame his scruples, and the soldier put a cartridge in the breech. Instead of placing the trigger at half-cock he put it at full-cock, and by acme means the trigger snapped upon the nipple and the gun, of course, went off. The shot first struck the ground, but, rebounding, entered Hudson's abdomen. The spectators were horrified at the catastrophe. Heaton was at once placed under arrest, and. the wounded man was conveyed to the infirmary, where he remained up to last evening in a dangerous state. Heaton was taken before the magistriite, but after hearing the evidence his worship rid he could not justifiably detain him, and at once discharged the secured. The magistrate pointed out the folly of soldiers gratifyinjE the curiosity on the one band, and of civilians importuning them to do that which they ought not to do on the other. ATTEMPT AT DICRDIR AND THREATENED SUICIDE AT SCARBOROUGH.—On Saturday forenoon an attempt was made on the life of Mr. W. S. Constantine, a tradesman residing. in Thomas-street, Scarborough , Mr. Constan tine's premises adjoin those of his landlord, Mr. T. Lee. For some time past, Mr. Lee has been greatly troubled in consequence of Constantine's fail ing to pay the rent, and sharp words have at times passed between the two men on this subject. A short time ago during one of these altercations, Lre threatened to stab Constantine with a knife: and he was afterwards beard to say " I'll be the death of him," On Saturday morning, Lee went out of Lis own shop into Constantine's. and again demanded his rent. Constantine said he really oouldnotpay it just then, but that he would &Bence as ever he could. Observing Lee to be fumbling about his breast pocket, Constantine feared some foul play, a nd a t once passed out of his shop into a side room. Just as he shut the door, the upper half of which is glass, Lee raised a pistol and fired through one of the squares. Constantine was hit in the right side, the ball glancing along one of his ribs, and lodging under the arm. Lee at once went into his own house and presented the pistol at his own head, intending to do for himself as he bad d one for Constantine. The servant girl of the house knocked the pistol away, and it was found by the police to b e a double-barrelled pistol, one barrel empty and the other loaded. On being apprehended, Lee said he was sorry to bear that Constantine was not dead, as he meant killing Lim. Constantine is in a precarious condition, and the examination of the prisoner is deferred for some days, to await the result.

ONE O'CLOCK. Whit-Monday being one of the days fixed by the Stock Exchange Committee for keeping holiday in that establishment, no transactions have taken place this morning in public securities. In most other departments of business a holiday influence is likewise apparent. In the discount market the demand is quiet, and the rates continue steady, at 14 to l per cent., with a plentiful supply of money. With regard to the New Granada Debt, Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. announce that they have received on account of the dividends 4001. from the Custom-house of Cartagena. The Australasian has arrived from New York with 195,0001. in specie, and the Cimbria with 67,0001. The Sobraon, from Sydney, has also brought 26,000!. The failure is announced of Messrs.

Insorne markets the fall was considered to have been carried too far, and there had been a slight re action. At Marseilles buyers were guided by the Paris market, so that offers predominated, but no business was done and at Havre some of th e sellers had withdrawn. The principal German markets had fall enconsiderably, and there was almost a complete cessation of business in grain from the stoppage of the foreign demand. Advice& from the Mediterranean shores of France speak favourably of the appearance of the vines, and also of the potato crop. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Matisse in Banco.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Blackburn, Mellor, and Lusk.) TERRY v. Ht:WHINKON. [ This was en action for seduction tried List week before Mr. Justice Hannon in the Bail Court, [ when the jury returned • verdict for the plaintiff, damages L5O/. The plaintiff is • builder at Canterbury, and the defendant is an officer in her Majesty's service. The plaintiff's daughter, a young woman about 20 yeas of age, went into the service of Mr. Wakeman, a draper at Dead, on the 12th March, 1t 4 67. A fellow shop ' girl, called Lassie Hill introduced her to the I defendant, who was • friend of her sweetheart. They used to meet and walk together, and in consequence of what came to the master's knowledge he discharged them on the 12th April, 1867, paying the daughter's wages up to the following day, the 13th, the end of the month. After she left she met the defendant, and subsequently, when she was in a second class carriage about to leave Deal to return to her father's house at Canterbury, the defendant got first-alarm tickets for herself and her, and she went into a tint-claw carriage with him. They changed car t riages at Minster, and went into an empty one, and the girl's evidence was that the seduction took place in the carriage, and was the only time anything immoral had oc curred between them. January , 18 68, the daughter was confined of a child. . . Mr. M. Chambers, q.C., now moved pavement to leave reserved to enter a non suit, or why there should not be • new trial on the grouud that the damages were excessive. The defendant pleaded not guilty. and secondly that the daughter was not in such a post legion with reference to the father at the time the alleged seduction took place as entitled him to sue fur lose of his daughter's services. The offence, if committed, took place after she had quitted her employ , ment, and before she had returned to her father's house. I Such a point had never before occurred. The daughter never saw the defendant after she returned home, and there was no othermay of charging the offence other than in the railway carriage. The learned counsel contended that the damages were excessive, and that it was an attempt to extort money. The father at first demanded 10e. • week for the child and 200 f., and afterward ss. a week and 100!. The defendant who denied the seduction, admitted he was the father of the child and had been ready to pay the expenses and allow the child 2a. dd. per week. Tu show the character of the daughter the learned counsel read a letter written and sent by her the following day to the defendant at Deal barracks. It commenced "My dearest little pet,—lt is with much pleasure I sit down and write to you. In the first place I arrived home quite safe, and I hope you did the same. I hope you did not get into any trouble coming so far with me, which was very kind. I quite forgot to thank you for your kindness, and now my little pet I must tell you that father and mother were so pleased to see me. I think they must have forgotten I had been turned away. Of course I told them the reason, and they did not blame me. Mr. Wakeman wrote to my father, and said he had sent me away for going with officers, and that I stayed out after my time at night, but that was before I knew you." The letter concluded, "I shall think of last :handily night, when we were so happy together. Excuse this scribble ; I feel so sad. that I cannot write." Such a letter, it was contended, written by the daughter the day after the alleged outrage showed the character of the female, and that in what had been done, one was as bad as the other. The happiness alluded to was explained to be walking on the beach at Deal on • night in March, pro bahly, the learned counsel said, looking at the moon. The Lord Chief Justice said be was of opinion there should be no rule. He thought that under the circum. stances the daughter was at the time of the alleged seduc tion part of the father's family and one of his household. He thought the action would lie. She went into service upon the understanding that when she left it she was to return home. He entertained no doubt there was a constructive service to the father. The damages might probably be high if they had to assess it, but under the circumstances he saw no ground for disturbing the verdict Rule refused. 0017 RT OF BANICRIJETCY. (Before Mr. Acting-Commissioner Mazlitt.) IN RE WILLIAM BASK' PRINCE. This was an application fur release out of custody by the debtor, who had carried on business u a printeellerl at 307 a, High Holborn. Mr. E. Reed supported ; and Mr. G. Lewis, jun., op posed the application. The detaining creditor was Mr. Graves, the will known print-seller and publisher, in Pall-mall. From the state ments made by Mr. Lewis it appeared that the debtor was convicted on the 13th May and sentenced to pay 19 pe nalties of s✓. each for infringing the copyrights of various photographs, engravings, and prints, the property of Mr. Graves, particularly the copyright of the engraving known as the " Railway Station." In default of payment, the magistrate directed the debtor to be imprisoned 14 days for each offence, making 26n days altogether. Im mediately upon judgment being given in the first case, the debtor executed a deed providing for payment to the cre ditors of a composition of is. in the pound by instalments. The deed had been registered, and the certificate of regis tration was produced. In opposition to the application, Mr. Lewis contended that the court ought not to inter. fere—oertainly not until time bad been given for the examination of the debtor and the creditors said to assent to the deed, which, it was contended, had been concocted merely in order to defeat Mr. Craves. After hearing Mr. Reed, who urged upon the authority of exports Johnson, decided by Mr. Commissioner Winslow in 1866, reported in the Lam Times, Oat the debtor was entitled to his release, His Honour held that he ought not to keep the debtor in custody for an indefinite period pending an inquiry into the deed, and granted the release. upon the application of Mr. Lewis, The Court stayed the order for 4$ days, with the view to an appeal. POLICE COURTS.-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROI YOH-STREET. STABBING A WIRE. Penni., SuWean, an elderly man. described as a shoe. maker, was charged before Mr. Knox with stabbing his wife, Honorah Sullivan. The prosecutrix said—Last night, about 11 o'clock, I was standing at my door, in Dudley-street, wishing my brother and his wife, who bad been to see me, good night, when my husband (the prisoner) came up and said, " How are you netting on ?" end then stabbed me in the faos with a knife.

CAUTION RAU.WA TRAVELLEWL I Jam , * 11.1(4, was summoned beirresiirTEurchstni for unlawfully getting out of a carriage on the South Eastern Railway at London-bridge while the train was in motion, thereby endangering his own life and the lives of others. Mr. Albert Lewis, %elicitor for the law officer of the company, attended to prosecute k and Mr. Ribten for the defendant, who pleaded not guilty. Joseph Stevens, an inspector in the service of the company, said that about half-past 9 on the night of the :kith of May he was on duty on the platform of the North Kent Railway at London-bridge, when he saw the train aoming in from Strood. Before the train stopped he saw one of the doors opened, and the defendant got out. In doing so he was thrown down, and his legs fell between the platform and the carriages. With a great deal of iiiiticulty they pulled him up. Witness considered that his life was in danger. One of the porters corroborated witness's testimony, and said he was six or seven yards from the train when it was coming in, and he distinctly saw the defendant jump out while going six or seven miles an hour. When they picked him up he abused tLe inspector and all who had assisted him. Fot the defence the defendant was called and sworn. He said that the train haul stopped when be opened the door, and as be wee in the act of getting out it went on, and be well whirled across the platform and Tory much in jured. He contended that it was all the f.cult of the com pany's servants, who knocked him about and grossly in sulted him. He had his wife and children with him, and was about to take hold of oue when he was thrown on the platform. Btucbam, after hearing further evidence on behalf of the company, said than there could not be a question about it that the defendant opened the doorand got out of the carriage while the train was in motion. He had haul a very narrow escape with his life, and be hoped it wonldbe a caution to kiln for the future. He must, however, lay a fine of Hoc awl cos's. THE OUTRAGE IN THE CITY. COMMITTAL—(THIS DAY.) At the Mansion-house police-court this morning the two boys Arthur Forrester Smith, aged 14, and Hector Augustus Smith, aged 12, were brought up in custody of Detective-sergeant Moss, end charged before the Lord Mayor with feloniously assaulting Mary Ann Nunn, the housekeeper, at No. 2, Catherine-court, Seething.lane, with intent to murder her. They were likewise charged with stealing a sum of 24 Os. tid. from her bedroom. Mr. Arthur Bowes Elliott, the surgeon from Guy's Hos pital, who stated that Mrs. Neon was going on slowly, And would not be able to leave the hospital for three weeks or a month, gave a description of the wounds which she had sustained. He stated that she was brought into the hospital at 10 o'clock on the evening of the Ist of May. There were several large lacerated wounds on the side and top of the heed. On the forehead there WAS a square wound exposing the skull. At the back of the bead there was a large, rregularly shaped wound ; the skull was bare, and idsc fractured. The left ear was torn. There was a wound, an inch and a ' quarter boo& above the left eye-brow ; and another, three , quarters of an inch long, below the left eye. There was a wound on the bridge of the nose, and the bones of the nose were all broken. Both eyes were much swollen. The right hand was bruised, but no bones were broken. Two fingers of the left han d were broken. The injuries might have been caused by the mallet produced. The woman was nearly insensible when brought in, and unable or unwilling to give any account of how they had been received. She had been in a very dan gerous state, and was not quite out of danger. She was not able to be brought to the court to give her evidence to diß a Lord Mayor asked the prisoners if they had any questions to ask the witness. The prisoners—No, sir, thank you. The Lord Mayor asked if any of their friends had seen them. Inspector Tilloock said their father had seen them 'eye. ral times, and their aunt was now in court. The foreman front Mr. Gob's establishment was now in court, end gave evidence as to the purchase by the prisoners and the son of the landlady of Deacon's coffee house, in the Strand, of some foils anti apistol on the 24th April. On the Name afternoon they returned and bought another pistol and a belt, paying for the articles with a sovereign. His suspicion being excited he asked their name and address. They said their name was Smith, and that they lived in " Deacon's Hotel, Strand." He went there and ascertained that statement to be correct, and the landlady told him they were the sons of a naval officer. Mr. Davis, hatter, Chelsea, identified the boy's cap found on the premises after the outrage as one purchased from trim by the elder prisoner on the 7.3 rd April. The prisoners, who appeared to have lost the timidity which characterised them at the previous examinations, and who whispered to each other several times during the proceedings, were then committed for trial on the charge of maliciously wounding and causing grievous bodily harm to Mrs. Mary Ann Nunn, with intent to pre vent their lawful apprehension for having committed a felony.

(Laughter.) He thought that was a very unmanly way of raising money. The meanest thing men could eo was to throw work on the women. (Renewed laughter.) He said that advisedly, because having lived twenty-five years among ravages he recognised that their distinguish mg mark was to make women do the work of men. That was the system on which bazaars were held. He hoped they would complete their endeavours by direct taNation, not indirect. (Renewed laughter.) ‘Vben he returned from New Zealand be Loped he should find the remainder of the money necessary for the whoa% and parsonage had been raised.

War.cxs IF 1867.—The Statistical Committee of Lloyd's have published an analysis of wreaks and casual ties during the year 1867 as compared with 1866. It re sults from their returns that the total number of casual ties last year was 12,513, against 11,711 in 1866. The ; total losses were 2,343, of which 105 were steamers, in 1867, against 2,234, of which 113 were steamers, in 1866. The PAU in which the cargo nu entirely lost num bered 1,168 last year and 1,946 in 1866, The loss of life in 1867 contrasts very favourably with that of the year preceding, the total being only 1,346, against 2,644 in 1861 s. The committee, however. observe that the returns on this head are still most imperfect, the actual number being in excess of that given in the various tables. The month in which the fewest losses have occurred for the past ten years is July, the heaviest being November. An elaborate geographical summary of the wrecks and casualties, arranged according to the voyages performed, shows that of the entire list of total losses, numbering last ear 2,343. 20 per cent. occurred in the British is lands; while of the other sections, the heaviest—that which included the Baltic and the Gulf of Bothnia—contributed only cent. The Cape colonies, the Persian Gulf, Australia, Polynesia, California, and Greenland appear to have been almost blanks as regards total wrecks of foreign-going ships in 1867, although they supplied a few cases of con structive loss. hi the British islands the number of vessels raised last year, after sinking, was 32, and in the rest of the world only There.were 5 cases of loss from piracy in IW7, and 18 ii the ye : .- rectraing.
