HENLEY-ON-THAMES ROYAL REGATTA. PTBST DAT. This regatta of gentlemen amateurs commenced yesterday with the advantages of a large list of first class entries, and fine weather. The attendance was exceed ingly large, comprising all the rank and fashion of the neighbourhood and a great influx of visitors from the metropolis. Mr. R. Lewis Lloyd, of the University of Cambridge. - was umpire ; and Mr. T. S. Egan, of the University of Cambridge, Mr. Polkington, Orford University, and Mr Fairrie, Cambridge, were the judges. The rowing will be resumed at 12 to-day. THE FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT AT LONDON-BRIDOE —Yesterday Mr. Payne, coroner, held an inquiry in St. Saviour's Vestry-room Southwark, relative to the death of Jane Sewell, led 16, who was drowned with three others on last Sun y evening. Mr. J. G. Deacon, land lord of the Royal George, Union-road, Rotherhithe, said that on last Sunday he and three girls (M. A. Elisabeth Martin, aged 15, Flie s R. Griffin, of the same age, and Jane Sewell) and a shipwright named Goode, a boy, end witness's potman (who had been apprenticed to a water man), left Fountain-stairs for Kew in a skiff. They reached their destination in safety, but on their way back, just as they got through the centre arch of London-bridge, and before they got half a boat's length out of the arch, the stem of the steamer Eagle struck the boat, and sent her under water. The Eagle was lying athwart the river, and was going slowly ; nothing was to be seen of her when the boat entered the arch ; there was no light on the steamer's stem. There was no chance of avoiding the oollision after they saw the steamer. The steamer had no business to be athwart the river as she was. He heard no one call out to the boat. Richard Reeves, the potman to the last witness, said that he knew the river well. The steamer should have been made fast by a line to the pier, to prevent her head getting right athwart the stream. Ail the young women and the man Goode were drowned. Wit ness saved himself by swimming, and would Lave saved one of the young women, but the steamer came between him I and her, and forced them apart to different sides of the vessel The steamer could have avoided the boat if a look out bad been kept. The collision took place at a quarter to • ten o'clock. Richard Storks, mate of the Eagle, said that that vessel on Sunday night landed her passengers from Margate at Freshwater-wharf, and he was ordered to take her down to any berth he could find in the pooh The tide was running down very 'tromp and she gut athwart the stream ; another vessel bad tried to rrevent that by a bead line to the wharf, but the force of the tide snapped the, rope. There was no look-out, because the vessel was not on her way at the time. She had side lights, and one at her mast head ; large steamers did not carry lights at the stem. The boat came swiftly through the arch. She could have avoided the steamer Ly rowing towards th' month. Lines, buoys, dun, were heaved • , ut at once, to save life, when the collision too: place. Thu jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death," and Were cf opinion that the steamer should carry a light at her ete'n ; and that a 100k -oat should be kept. ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.— As accident of en alarming character occurred at Twyford on Wednesday evening. It being the lint day of Henley Regatta, there' was more than the usual amount of traffic on the line. The branch train left Henley to meet the down train from London due at Twyford junction at 6.31:1. The engine driver on nearing the station put on the breaks to stop the train, bet through some at present un explained cause they did not act upon the engine, which continued its course unimpeded, until it ran into an empty carriage standing on the line, at the further end of the plat form. The collision was so great that the carriage was smashed and forced on to the platform, the engine being turned on one of its ends, and a large portion of the briar work of the station destroyed. It was at first feared that the accident was attended with fatal consequences, but luckily such was not the case. Many of the passengers were mtieh bruised and shaken, and great excitement prevailed at the station, which was greatly intensified by the screaming and shrieking of the passengers. A body of men were at once set to work by Mr. Hemet, the district superinten dent, who happened to be present at the time, to remove the d. 474". and another engine hawing been obtained from Reading the traffic was Apia resumed. THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EV 4 ENING, JUNE 21, 1866. MX mmismaraz cams. BIRMINGHAM, WIDNESDAT. A requisition to the Mayor of Ilirmingham was preeented last evening, " to convene a town meeting at the earliest possible moment to consider the defeat of her Majesty's government on the Reform Bill, and to take such steps as may be deemed necessary to support the liberal ministry, and to secure the pasting of a large and compre hensive measure of reform." The requisition emanated from the " Liberal Association," and was very well signed ; it is most probable that the meeting will be held on Satur day afternoon. NORWICH, WEDIIIRDAT NIGHT. The advanced liberals of this city will hold a meeting to-morrow evening, to consider the present state of public affairs. MANCHESTER, WEDNESDAY. An important meeting of the executive commit tee of the National Reform Union was held yesterday evening, at the offices, Newell ' s -buildings ; Mr. George Wilson in the chair. Mr. Wilson, in his address to the meeting, regretted the fate of the government in the recent division. He considered the conduct of the ministry throughout had been such as entitled them to the warmest thanks and luting gratitude of the people. It was also gratifying to the liberals to have as their representative Mr. W. E. Gladstone, who had, as leader of the House of Com mons, fought such a manly and unflinching battle on behalf of a noble cause. From a telegram he had re ceived from London, he learned that the government ' had tendered their resignation to her Majesty, and the house had adjourned to Monday. Without venturing to predict the result, he might say that he had some doubt whether her Majesty would be prepared to release Earl Russell from office ; but, however, it would no doubt be considered desirable to hold a delegate meeting as early as possible.—Mr. R. D. Bnsdsn, the treasurer of the union; Mr. W. R. Cramer, of London ; Mr. J. A. Haalam, of Bolton ; Mr. Adderley, of Stockport ; Mr. William Stokes, the Rev. A. Hall, Mr. W. Warburton , Mr. J. Wainwright, Mr. D. Brewster Mr. R. Cooper, Mr. J. R. Cooper, 'W J. . J. Stanley, Mr. Halliday, and others, spoke, urging im mediate action, and expressing their opinion that if ever there was a time when reformers should speak out it was now ; and whilst it was very desirable to hold an indignation meeting in Manchester, it was equally desirable for that course to be taken by their various branch associations, and indeed by all parties who were earnest in this question, and that they should boldly come forth and express themselves. It was also generally thought that the defeat of the government proposal would only to a very slight extent affect the progress of the mea sure for reforming the representation of the people, which, being based upon justice, must ultimately triumph, and its opponents would find the rejection of so mode rate a measure would only necessitate the passing of one that shall confer the long-withheld right of voting upon a greater number of the Queen's subjects. It was ultimately resolved that a delegate meeting be held on Friday afternoon, and a public meeting in the evening, in the Free Trade Hall. filluisic.

(Before the Master of the Rolla.) vU coloascuL sem CORPORATION OF INDIA AND THR This man y, which is being wound up , were the holders of bills of exchange accepted by Messrs. Smith, Fleming, and Co., who were creditors of the company. Some days ago, alter the winding-up order, but before the appointment of the official liquidator, an injunction was obtained exparte to restrain the negotiation of these bills. The offical liquidator on being appointed aplied in cham bers for leave to negotiate them, and his application stood over till this motion to discharge the experts order should have been disposed of. Sir Hugh Clam, Q.c., Mr. Selwyn, Q.C. and Mr. Druoe were in the matter. His lordship gave judgment this morning. He had de ferred it, he raid, as the we was one which must be of frequent occurrence and in which it was very desirable to lay down a general rule as to the course proper to be adopted. His lordship added that the official liquidator, or rather the court conducting the whole matter, being in the nature of a trustee for all parties, it was not justifi able to take any proceeding, which should give advantage to one set of °estate que trnstent over another, and that this was a fundamental principle of equity in all winding-up cases. It was not for the court to interfere and say that one class of creditors was preferable to another ; its duty simply was to adjudicate upon the rights of the parties on the principles of law and equity administered in all such oases. In the case before his lordship it was certain that Messrs. Smith, Fleming, and Co. were creditors of the bank when they gave the acceptances in question, and that if the bills had remained ia the hands of the bank until they had become due the right of set off would have been obviously clear. The application was for leave to allow the official liquidator to discount these bills, and so to enable a third party, a stranger, to do that which the bank clearly could not do. His lordship thought each a course could not be adopted, and that as he bad said on various occasions, as the tree fell so it must lie. The rights of the parties must be determined as they then stood, whether they were worked out or became ma tured by an effluzion of time, it being the duty of the court not to give one set of persons advantage over another. The nand course was that bills in the hands of the official liquidator were retained by him until matu rity, when they were preeented, there being generally a loss when they were good bills, and the same if they were not, in discounting them. His lordship then expressed his opinion as to the course that should be adopted in these matters. He doubted whether the proper course of proceed ing was what had been adopted here. It was quite clear that the applicant might have filed a bill ; but the proper form of proceeding in future would be as follows. The official liquidator was not to be at liberty to nego tiate any bills without the leave of the judge in chambers, and where anybody was either a cre ditor or shareholder—that is to say, one of the persons for whom the liquidator was in the position of what might be called a quasi trustee—notice should be given to such person to show cause why the court should not give leave to the official liquidator to negotiate the bills. If such person did not choose to come in that was his own affair ; if he came in then the court could determine the question between the parties at chambers, or adjourn it into court. His lordship said that questions were likely to arise in these winding up cane which had not yet been dealt with by the court, and the mode suggested seemed the best way of dealing with such as that now before it. He wished to express that opinion publicly, thinking it the cheapest and most proper course with regard to the practice of the court. Upon the present occasion his lordship said no order would be made other than to direct the official liquidator not to negotiate the bills. A discussion then followed upon the question of costa, which his lordship said he would dispose of to-morrow (this day). COLENSO It GLADSTONE. Mr. Wickens opened the argument for the defendants in this case. He appeared for the crown. The Attorney-General then addressed the court for the defendants, the argument for whom will be proceeded with to-morrow. His lordship observed, as the Attorney- General was about to open his case, that be must address him as Sir Roundell Palmer and not as Attorney-General, not that his lordship could object to his appearing for the defendants, but that it was right to say that the learned Attorney-General might argue against those whom it was his official duty to protect. The Attorney-General said he was aware of the pecu liarity of his position, but it war not without the sanction both of practice and authority. His lordship said Lord Campbell was placed in the like poaition when he was Attorney-Gent al, and appeared in the case of Lady Bewley's charity, in which his lordship himself was also counsel. Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., and Mr. Pemberton are also for the defendants. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. Stuart.) DRUMMOND If. DRUMMOND. The bill in this suit was filed by a lady who bad been divorced from her former husband, and her present hus band as co-plaintiff, for a decree to compel the former husband to repay to the Glasgow Life Insurance and Re versionary Company a sum of money which she and her former husband bad borrowed from that society, on the security of property in Scotland to which the lady was then entitled as tenant in tail in remainder. The de fendant was now domiciled at Bonn, and an order had been obtained to serve him there with a copy of the bill in the suit. A motion was afterwards made on behalf of the de fendant to discharge that order. The grounds on which that motion was rested were these that there was in this case no property in England in question in the suit; and that that being so, the existing orders of the Court of Chancery regulating the service of parties out of the jurisdiction of the court did not apply so as to make this servioe a good one. Mr. Malin', Q.C., and Mr. W. Pearson appeared in rap. port of the motion ; Mr. Osborne, Q.C., and Mr. J. Pear son appeared for the plaintiffs. The - Vice-Chancellor, after commenting upon the cues of " Cookney a. Anderson " (32 Law Jourad, Chancery Reports, 427), and " Foley v. Maillardet " (33 Law Jour nal, Chancery Reports, 335), which were decided by Lord Westbury when Lord Chancellor, who expressed his opinion to be that, notwithstanding those cases, the provi- MODS of the 3rd and 4th Viet., cap. 94, and the more re cently enlarged powers conferred on this court by the orders of 1860—which bad the force and effect of statu tory enactments—the service of the bill was in this instance a good one ; and the motion must therefore be dismissed report, and she afterwards canoed it to be communicated to the plaintiff. Mr. Hawkins, in reply, said that if what had been stated that day, if true, had been said in May, in all , probability they would never have been called on to try this case. The Lord Chief Justice, in summing up, said the ease had been defended in • bad spirit, and the plaintiff was assailed with what had nothing to do with the ease. The j u ry ultimately returned a verdict for the plaintiff , damages 251. Eittibtrditp Entttif genre. OXFORD, JUNI 20. Qualm's Coum3st.—The election to the vacant fellowships at Queen's College terminated this morning, after four days examination, in favour of the following gentlemen :—Henry Llewellyn Browne, BA., Jesus Col lege; Rev. William Awdry, 8.A., Bslliol College. M. Browne obtained a first class in classics, second public examination, Easter term, 1863, and proceeded to his B.A. degree the same year. Mr. Awdry was placed in the first class in classics both in the first public examination, Michaelmas term, 1862, and the second public examination, Easter term, 1865, and proceeded to his B.A. degree the same year. He was ordained at the recent ordination by the Bishop of Oxford, and licensed to the curacy of St. Peter-in-the-East, Oxford. Dr. John Young, F.R.5.E.,F.G.5., has been appointed by Sir George Grey to All the chair of Natural History in the University of Glasgow, vacant by the death of Professor Rodgers. 82'. PAUL'S SCHOOL. Yesterday being Apposition-day at St. Paula 4 School a large number of visitors and of the friends and relatives of the students assembled in the large school room to witness the distribution of the prizes, and to listen to the delivery of the speeches. Amongst those pre sent were the Bishop of Winchester, the Bishop of Peter borough, the Bishop of Oxford, Dr. Suter, bishop-elect of Nelson ; Mr. Watney, surveyor accountant, Mr. Watson, Mr. Fall, and other members of the Mercers' Company the Yen. Archdeacon Hale, Yen. Archdeacon Browne, Dr. Kynaston,the headmaster, and other masters of the school, do. The governors' prizes were awarded to Mr. J. R. Ming worth, for his Oreek verse translation from the " Virgin Martyr" of Messinger, and to Mr. E. W. South for his de scription in Latin Hexameters of the plague in the reign of Edward 111. The Sleath prize was given to Mr. Illingworth for his Latin Essay on the tragic writers of Athens ; the Truro prize to Mr. South, for his English Essay on the sub ject of " National struggles in ancient and modern times, considered in their relation to national literature ;" and the Milton prize for English verse to Mr. McGill, the cap tain of the school ; subject, "The Cave of Macchpelah." To each of the recipients of prizes the head master addressed kind words of satisfaction and encouragement. It has been the custom in St. Paul's for some years past to contribute and recite a school song—a custom which by been adopted to some extent in the public schools of Har row, Rugby, and Marlborough. Erasmus contributed a song of this kind to St. Paul's School, and he relates that it was the daily practice in his time for the pupils to recite • sacred hymn on entering and leaving the school. The sub ject of Dr. Kynaston's introductory Latin ode on the pre sent occasion is the question whether the school should re main in the City or be transferred to the country. The doctor expresses no opinion one way or the other; he leaves the decision of that important point in the hands of the patrons of the school. For himself, he says : Non omittam roe d i gnarl, Itue et urns, amore part. But he makes it a condition of removal, if such should be the decision, that the traditions of the old school should follow its rustication. This ode was recited by Mr. McGill. Tho " speeches " on the present occasion were selected from the " Frogs" of Aristophanes, the " Iphigenia in Towle " of Euripides, Shakespeare's Henry VI., part 11, and the " Deux Precepteurs "of Scribe. The following pupils took part in the performance :—Messrs. McGill, Mills, Seaman, Reynell, Glaisher„ Dalton, Moore South, Peck, Savory, Cowie, Porah, Burdon, Illing. worth, ICempe, Smiles, and Manson. Mr. Secretary Pepys tells us in his diary that he was in the habit of coming to St. Paul's School on Apposition-day to hear the boys " apposed," and that he did not think the speeches were as good as they used to be in his own school days. This is a criticism natural to almost all old gossiper., but whatever might be the case in Pepys' time it is not true of the Pauline prolusions of the present time. No one ought or can expect much versatility or amusement from • representation of a scene in a Greek tragic or comic writer. All that can reasonably be looked for in such a case is a facile delivery and correct expression, and in these respects the alumni acquitted themselves most satisfactorily. In the English and more especially in the French portion of the performances, where the spirit of the piece was in more complete harmony with modern ideas, the execution was excellent. The points were brought out in full force, the actors entered into the humour of the several parts, and they conveyed to the audience the nice characteri sation which they so well conceived themselves. Where all acted well it would appear invidious to single out particular names for approbation. They were entirely successful, for they were greatly amusing. THE REFORM MEETINGS ON CLERKEN- WELL-GREZN. TO TEI EDITOR OP THE EXPRESS. Brit,—You will oblige the promoters of the Reform meetings that have been held on Clerkenwell green by inserting the accompanying letter to Mr. Glad stone, together with his answer.—l am, &c., June 20. B. LUCRAFT. To the Right Honourable W. E. Gladstone, her Majesty's Chancellor of the Exchequer.--Sir,—At a public meeting held on Clerkenwell-green, June 18, 1866, it was unani mously resolved that the following communication be signed by the chairman, and forwarded to you as a slight acknowledgment of the very high estimation in which you are held by the working people of Finsbury. Many thousands of working men have met on Clerken well-green from time to time since the introduction of the Reform Bill now before the House of Commons, to peti tion in favour of it—to watch its progress and chanties of success. On April 30 a very large meeting was unani mous in opinion that the kind manner in which you had defended working men ifroin the unjust and cowardly attacks made upon them by some members of the House of Commons had earned their warmest and most grateful thanks. We again, sir, desire most sincerely to thank you for your continued exertions in our behalf, and beg to assure you that we en tertain the greatest confidence that you and the rest of her Majesty's government will continue to resist all attempts to make it a lees enfranchising bill than when first introduced to the house. Believing that it may be some satisfaction to know that those you are endeavour ' ing to serve are grateful, and fully recognise the vast be nefits and blessings you wish to confer upon them, and hoping that it may somewhat blunt the unusually spiteful and malignant shafts so persistently hurled at you, is the reason we again trespass on your attention. That you may have health, to bear the wear and tear, necessary for finally vanquishing the unscrupulous enemies of the people's liberties, and a long enjoyment of unalloyed hap piness, is the sincere wish of the working men of Finsbury. (Signed on our behalf) B. Lvaurr, Chairman. 13, Se. James-street, Islington. 11, Downing-street, Whitehall, June 19. • Sir,—The Chancellor of the Exchequer desire's me to request that you will express his sincere and grateful thanks to those on behalf of whom you write, for the very kind expressions used in your letter, which he has just received.—l am, So., W. B. (=vapor+. B. Lucrat t. THZ BALLOT SoeuerY.—At the weekly meeting of the committee held at their ollees, 61, Cheapside ' on Tuesday last, an interesting and important letter from Mr. F. S.

FLOOD AND WIFIL In this cue, after our report left yesterday, Mr. Chambers in addressing the jury for the defend ant, said the facia of the cue had been mistaken from the beginning to the end. Mrs. Flood never had slandered, and never intended to slander the plaintiff ; and he should call her, to give her account of the matter. She believed at the time that Mr. O'Donovan was another person. Mrs. Flood deposed that she did not know Mr. John O'Donovan, the plaintiff. She never heard or saw any thing of him before she went to lodge at Mrs. Bishop's. A gentleman she knew (the son of a general officer) played the same music as the plaintiff, and that was why she asked Mrs. Bishop who he was. Mn. Bishop said be was Mr. Donovan, and not O'Donovan, because that made a great difference in families. She was related to the O'Donovan. Some time afterwards, when the plaintiff was playing, she asked Mrs. Lee if she was sure it was Mr. Donovan, because, from the music he played, she thought he was a gentleman abe knew intimately some years ago : from his playing, not having seen him, she was under the impression that he was her friend. Mrs. Lee said yes, he was a Mr. Donovan, from Ireland. She denied mo st emphatically the slanderous words imputed to her. It was a fabrication of a low mind. She could not hive imagined such things. She never said the plaintiff was passing under an assumed name. One day when she saw the plaintiff coming in she said he was not the gentleman she took him to be. She men tioned jewellery once. Mrs. Lee admired her ring, and said Mr. Donovan was fond of wearing jewellery ; and witness replied that her friend, who she at first mi stook plaintiff to be, was also fond of wearing jewellery. Cross-examined—She never slandered any one, and the story of Mrs. Bishop and Mrs. Lee was a pure invention. His appearance was very much like the gentleman's she re ferred to. It was twelve years since she saw her friend. Mrs. Lee frequently told her anecdotes of Mr. O'Donovan. Mr. Hawkins—Were the anecdotes of Mr. O'Donovan similar to those of your old friend! (Laughter.) Witness—No ; it was about the proceediugs before the Master of the Rolls. Mr. Hawkins—Were there any incidents in the anecdotes of the life of Mr. O'Donovan similar to those of your old friend 'Witness— o. Mr. Haskins—Then the music and the person of Mr. O'Donovan were something like your old friend's, but not the incidents? . . Witness—Yes. There was a mystery about the plaintiff. They had been unable to make out his family, or where he came from. . . - Mr. Hawkins—Did it ever occur to you to apply to Lord Fermoy about him? Witness—Yes. But we did not get an answer from him. By the Lord Chief Justice—l never knew that any of my acquaintances bed committed forgery. I have been at Baden Baden. I never advanced money to anyone at Baden, or anywhere else, to get him out of prison. I saw the announcement of the death of Mrs. Maitland, and I might have shown it to Km. Lee or Mrs. Bishop. I said she was the aunt of the gentleman I had known. It was about the time that I was under the impression Mr. O'Donovan we that gentleman. They did not afterwards undeceive me in the mistake I had made. Mn. Hawkes, who was examined for the plaintiff, was recalled. She said that Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Bishop did not mention the matter to her until after Captain and Kra. Flood had left, and a day or two before Mr. O'Donovan left Brighton. She did not then credit the MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Bodkin, Arrietent Judge.) tag " runerown" GANG OF - William Fathom, 51, was indicted for obtaining by false pretences from Christopher John Gibson a quantity of timber, value 144/. 16a., with intent to defraud. There were seve r al other indictments against him. Mr. Sleigh (instructed by Mr. R. Lewis) prosecuted ; Mr. G. S. Grifilths defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prosecutor is a builder in a rge way, carrying on business at Southa ll , and the pri son r and danother man, who has not been captured, for whose apprehension a warrant has been granted, were members of a gang at thieves and swindlers, imown as " the Bristowe gang." In the month of February last they went to the prosecutor and prodnoed a finely-exe cuted engraved card, purporting to be that of " Dal lison and Co., 7, Little Winchester-street, Old Breed street, London." They told Mr. Gibson that they had oome from Mason and Co., and they said that their firm wanted a quantity of timber, as they were contractors for very extensive works going on at the Isle of Wight, and believing this representation, the tim• ber was supplied without the money, it being stated that the usual settling day of the firm was on the 20th of the month. It seemed that the timber was sent by the Great Western Railway to Paddington, and was there re ceived by the prisoner, and afterwards sold to a builder in Bethnal-green for about half It. value. It is hardly ne cessary to say that the firm of Daimon and Co. was all a sham, and that the card had been printed entirely for the purpose of deception. A charge of a similar description was preferred against the prisoner in February, 1865, and ' he was oommitted for trial, but the magistrate admitted him to bail, to which he never nirrend.ered, and he was aocidentally met in London by Shrives a polloe-constabl about a month ago, and taken into c ustody on a warn I for his apprehension on the former charge. After that, • the above caw and several other charges were preferred against him. Mr. G. B. Griffiths made a long address on behalf of the prisoner, but the jury found him Guilty. Mr. Sleigh said the prisoner was one of a gang called " the Bristowe gang," and their practice waa to get into possession cf houses under false pretences, to get trades men to furnish them, and then to abscond with the pro . When the prisoner was Bret charged Mr. Knox., ht , agietrate, admitted him to bail in the MU of 51., and of course be absconded. It would be shown that the pri soner had at times called himself a dairyman, living at the Bnaresbrook Dairy, St. Martin's-lane, and he obtained from a Mr. Pickaley a chaff-cutting machine, a mangle, and some agricultural implements, to the value of 10/. Them different articles he sold for a mere trifle ; and, instead of the place be described at St. Martin's lane being " Snares. brook Dairy," it was nothing but a brothel. In another case he obtained a quantity of corn from a Mr. Stagg, re presenting that his master lived at St . John ' s -wood but was then at Brighton. He said he had two horses, and hi wanted some corn for them, and he allowed it to be senti which was turned into money as soon as it was obtained. William Gordon, police constable, 23 C, Dean e sour wards of 100 letters from persons who had e in a similar manner by the prisoner. On that morning he had ved a letter rom a ntleman in Linco which sta r ted that he f bad be en defrauded by the Owns, of goods to the value of 821. Mr. George Lockyer, chief prison officer from Coldbath. fields, said in 1850 he had the prisoner in charge under go=term of 12 or 18 months imprisonment for a offence. The man who is wanted in connexion with this case was also tried in 1849 at the Central Criminal Court for a similar offence, and sentenced to 12 calendar months ; and once since in this court, and sentenced tr 18 months' imprisonment. The Assistant Judge said that this gang was formed f the purpose of plundering the public, and he would do best to break it up. The sentence on the prisoner was that he be kept in penal servitude for five years. THE POLICE COURT& SOUTHWARK. Ann Jones, a sickly-looking woman, was pla c ed at bar before Mr. Woolrych, charged with making a most determined attempt to commit suicide in the river Thames. George Green, a carman, employed at the Old Jamaica Wharf, Commercial-road, Lambeth, said that on Monday evening last, about aix o'clock, he was attending to his hone on the wharf when he saw the prisoner rush peat him towards the river side, screaming as loud as could. lie ran after her, but before he could reach she had plunged into the river, which at that spot fully eight feet deep. Witness jumped into a barge at the risk of his life be succeeded in getting hold. of _ dress, and holding her up until a man came to his saris ' tance. She struggled so hard that she nearly overpowered him. They succeeded in dragging her out almost in a state of insensibility. They carried her into the counting house, administered some stimulants, and laid her before the fire until the constable came, when she was taken away by him in a cab. Police-constable 169 L said he received the prisoner from last witness and conveyed her to the station house, au from thence to the workhouse, where she bad a change clothing. She told him she was in a wretched state, was determined to destroy herself. Witness had ulcer tainedthat on eeveral previous occasions she had attemptee suicide, and was only liberated from Newgate on Saturda! last. In answer to Mr. Woolrych, The prisoner said that she had lived near the Teml. seven years, and had got her livelihood by selling things the street. She was now so wretched that she was tired of her life. She left Newgate on Saturday, where she h• been confined some time for making a similar attempt her life. Mr. Woob7ch asked her whether she bad any friends. The prisoner, in a very sullen manner, refused to - any further account of herself, when Mr. Woolrych remanded her to Horsemonger-lane until Monday next, so that some inquiries may be mat. about her, and in the meantime he directed that proper care should be taken of her by the prison authorities. Wi/hana Laser, 40, a respectable-looking man, described on the charge sheet as a grocer, residing at 9, Suffr street, Rotherfield-street, Islin gton, was placed at the before Mr. Woolrych for final examination, c harg ed committing an indecent and outrageous ass aul t Elizabeth Doyle, in a Clapham omnibus. The case having been proved by the evidence of the plainant and the omnibus conductor, On the part of the prisoner Mr. Edwin said that be instructed to say that he was very much under the t. fiuence of liquor at the time, and was not aware of what took place. As soon as he recovered his senses he regretted very much what had taken place, and apologised to the pro secutrix. If his worship thought proper he had several persons in attendance who could speak to the prisoner' , character, and allow that he was a well-conducted ' respectable man. The prosecutrix here said that the prisoner bad apolo gised to her, and she had no desire to press the charge against him. Mr. Woolrych observed that he bad investigated charge against the prisoner, and from the evidence adds he could not allow such an outrage to pass unpunished. The prisoner's defence was that he was so drank that did not know what had occurred, but that would have r. effect on him, as such an excuse could not be tolerated. If so, drunken men could get into vehicles and assault females with impunity. After hearing all the evidence I was satisfied that the prisoner had not actually indecent assaulted the female, but had merely attempted to do st therefore he should deal with the case by imposing penalty on him of 10/. or three months' imprisonno• lied the indecent liberties been effected by him he "" have sent him to prison for a kaig term with hard labour. The fine was immediately paid, and the prisoner left .." court with his friends. THREAT TO ASSASSINATE COUNT BISKARCI At the Brighton police court yesterday, Wilhelm Goe. • young man of Id who has for some time resided Brighton, and practised as a teacher of music, was broi up on warrant, (laird with sending a letter to Count Bismarck, the Prusnan prime minister, containing a tl to kill Lim. The prisoner, who did not deny the cha, was committed for trial to the next borough quarter sessions. He was, however, admitted to bail on his •- • ce in 500/. and two sureties in 2801. each. KENT Coasr RAILWAY.—A special general meet ing of the above company was held yesterday, at offices, Victoria station, Westminster, Mr. Tootal in chair, for the purpose of considering a bill now pen in parliament affecting the interests of the coropan: titled " A bill to authorise the London, Chatham, DoverßailwayCompany to make new railways. and all nom of authorised railways in Surrey and Kent, and streets and alterations of streets, near their Farringi street terminus ; and to use the West London Rat' and the West London Extension Railway ; to authu. the Kent Coast Railway Company to make a new road lismsgate ; and to confer powers and impose obligatio on the Corporation of the City of London with respect the new and altered streets ; and for other purposes." chairman said the bill was not promoted by this comi but yet required the assent of the shareholders.
