Marge Folios', a powerful labourer, living in Friar's oast, Bethnal-green, was charged with violently amanit his wife Ann. Newell, 46 H, said—Between 11 and 12 last night I was c s duty near the prisoner's lodgings, and beard screams in siroman's voice. The sergeant and I went there, and saw complainant bleeding profusely from the head. A portion I I the mattress appeared to be saturated with blood, aid some was also on the sheet. She said that her jesband had struck her with the poker, but he denied it. sbia is the poker (bent), it was in the fire-place, and I oticed hair upon it, but can't see it now. She gave him ate custody. Both of them were sober. Defendant—l didn't touch her with the poker. She fell ,gainst the fender, that's what cut her head. Complainant—On my oath, gentlemen, I did not fall, and on my oath he hit me as I tell you. Look here (dis slaying a lap full of blood stained clothes). He asked me where I had been, although he knew well, and gave me a slow directly, saying " You're drunk." Defendant—She comes home late continually. It was 12 o'clock. Is that a proper hour for a wife to be from ier home ' Complainant—lt was 11, not 12, and I then had been mocking a long time at the door, for you had gone to bed. I could not return earlier. Constable—The defendant complained to me, your wor ship, that his wife kept late hours, and aaked, " Would you stand it if your wife did so?" Magistrate—Whether she does or not is really nothing to the purpose in this matter ; allowing that she does so it cannot justify you in striking her, as she swears you aid, with *poker ; besides, she declares that you know where she had been, and that she could not return earlier. The co nstable's evidence agrees with her s t a tement of the time, not with yours. shall now remand you. Remanded accordingly. SOUTHWARK. BURGLARY BY A BROTHER-IN-LAW. William Clarke, rather a singular looking young soon, was placed at the bar before Mr. Burcham, charged with burglariously breaking and entering the premises of Mr. Alfred Liddicott, provision dealer, High-street, Borough, and stealing therefrom about 13s. In copper money. The prosecutor said that for some time past monies had mysteriously been missed from the counting-house when commencing business in the morning, and at last suspi cion fell upon the prisoner, who for three weeks was in his employ as one of his assistants, but the mystery to be solved was how he committed the robberies, as witness was the last person who locked up the premises and took the keys with him after leaving all safe in the counting-house. In consequence of missing 15s. more en the night before last he communicated with sergeant Bell, a detective officer of the M division, and before locking up the premises on the previous night he left about Lis. in copper money in the counting-house. A little after 10 that occurred, and about an hour afterwards he returned to the premises with Sergeant Bell to watch for the thief ; but, much to his surprise he found that be had been during his absence, and carried off all the coppers. In consequence of information received, he accompanied Sergeant Bell to a public-house in the vicinity, where the prisoner was found treating some loose women, and two of the packets of copper was found on him ; and he was taken into custody. In answer to Mr. Burcham, witness said that the prisoner was his brother-in-law, and had robbed him before, for which he was punished. Witness, however, believed that he was labouring under insanity at times. Mr. Burcham said he hardly believed that from the manner in which he conducted himself. Sergeant Bell said he accompanied Mr. Liddicott to his premises, and on discovering the robbery they went to several public-houses, and at last found the prisoner treating a number of females. He called him out and found a paper of coppers in one of his pockets, and on the way to the station-house he threw away another, both of which Mr. Liddicott identified by the wrappers. Witness ascer tained that on the previous day the prisoner had purchased two five shilling punnets of cherries at Covent-garden-market to treat the same females, and he had daily been spending money in a similar way. After he was locked up witness returned to the prosecutor's premise.' and found that they had been entered by climbing to the top of the stable in the rear and opening the landing window, which gave him access to the counting-house. The prisoner was remanded for evidence of a former con viction. THAMES. AUDACIOUS ROBBERY OF oCOAR IN TRANSIT. Thnnvm Carry, a young man described as a waggoner, was brought up on remand before Mr. Partridge charged with stealing 217 lbs. of sugar, the property of John Bathers, and Co., town carmen and earners, of Dock. street, Upper Kvit Smithfield. On the 2:ith of April last a carman named Alfred Sted man, in the service of the prosecutors, was despatched with a horse and van to fetch a hogshead of sugar from the West India Dock, and deliver it at Hore's Wharf, in Wappiiag, for trans-shipment to Scotland. The hogshead of sugar was delivered in aperfectly sound state to Stedman, and its weight was then 16 cwt. 2 qrs. 21 lbs. When it was delivered at Here's wharf, the weight was only 14 cwt. qrs. A part of the head of the cask was knocked out and a piece of tin nailed lover a hole through which sugar was abstracted. Stechuan was four hours on his journey from the dock to the wharf. He ought not to have been more than one hour. He was arrested by Dunaway, a detective officer, No. 11 H, and was convicted at the last Middle sex Sessions, for stealing the sugar. After his con. viction Dunaway saw him iu prison. Stedman made a full confession, and in consequence of his state ment the prisoner Carey was taken into custody. Sted man was now brought up on a writ of habms corpus to give evidence, and he made a full, cir cumstantial, and frank avowal of the robbery, and the respective parts he and Carey took in it. He said he was on his way to the West India Dock, and met the pri soner in Cable-street, Wbitechapel, and communicated his errand to him. l'he prisoner said, " Will you let me take the sugar out of the hogshead ?" to which he consented. The prisoner said he would get some tools and meet him on his way from the dock. They met again oppo,ite I.imeh. use Church after he received the hogs head of sugar. lie drove his horse and van to Bow-com mon, where the robbery was effected. They put a sheet over the hogshead, and Carey got under the sheet, cut a large hole in the head of the cask, and took the sugar out. The prisoner filled a bag with the sugar, and then nailed some tin over the hole he bad made. He delivered the hogshead of sugar at Here's wharf, stopping on the way at a confectioner's shop in Hatchtf Highway, where the stolen sugar was sold. He pleaded guilty at the sessions. lie had been in Messrs. Bathers' service twelve months. Deborah Marshall, confectioner, of No. 17, St. George's street, better known as Rateliff-highway, said that she bought a big of sugar on the 2.5 th of April of the pri soner:, and gave them 21. for it. She gave the money to Carey, who handed sonic of it to Stedman. She was in a hurry, and paid 2.55. first and 15s. afterwards. The prisoner made a long defence, admitting his share in the robbery. Stedman told him not to do (steal) more that. 2 cwt. The woman Marshall when she received the sugar said the weight was only 1 cwt. 3 qrs., and that it tame to 21. ds. She gave him Tic, and he gave Stedman V.A. out of it. After Stedman went away he drew Dis. more of Mrs. Marshall. Dunaway said this was a most important matter for the townearinen and carriers, who had been robbed of goods on trais:t to a great extent. Carey was privy to many of these robberies, and had been " hanging about" the dock entrance for a long time. Mr. Partridge committed Carey for trial, Stedman was sent back to prison and he will be a witness for the crown when Carty is tried. Warner, the Fenian informer, is likely to re cover from the effects of his wound. He was to have sailed for Canada with his family on the 31st inst.. According to a letter from Vienna, published by , the Ear,pe of Frankfort, a thousand nightingales have : been caught, at the request of the Emperor Maximilian, and will be speedily shipped for Mexico. Loan LYON,—Various rumours have been in circulation as to the presents made by Mr. Sutton to those chietly associated with Lord Lyon and the Derby. We believe we are not wrong in stating that the owner of Lord Lyon put James Dover, his deserving trainer, "on" 5,000/. for the Derby, and that he presented 1,0001. to Custance. To Thomas, who rode Lord Lyon in the Two Thousand, Mr. Sutton gave 3001. for his successful mount, and an additional 300 f. after the Derby. To little Carter, the lad in the stable who , it will be remembered, rode Gardevisure for the Cambridgeshire, Mr. Sutton presented 60/. ; and, as a proof of his liberality, we may mention that the owner of Lord Lyon put on the head waiter at his London hotel "thirty ponies." Altogether, Mr. Sutton, in presents and •• standings in," has most handsomely parted with upwards of 10,000/. Such liberality is seldom recorded even among turf men, whose generosity is well known to our readers, and up to the present time we have never heard that any dolocur was given by Count Lagrange to Henry Grimshaw, the famous jockey of Oladiateur.— Sporting Life. One hundred German immigrants and labourers, including several families of men, women, sad children, arrived in Charleston a few days since fr om the North. The party left immediately on a special train.

At a meeting of the committee of Spanish Certi ficate holders held yesterday, Mr. David Robert son, M.P., in the chair, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : 1. That this meeting has seen with surprise and regret several letters purporting to be from Passive Bondholders, in a leading journal, and its remarks there upon, insinuating that those who have the direction of the affairs of this committee have sacrificed the interest of the Passive to that of the Certificate holders. This meeting desires to contradict in the most ungindifieti tenon this unworthy assertion, no less unjust as utterly unfounded. 7 2. This meeting desires to express its continued confidence - in his excellency Marshal O'Donnel and his colleague in carrying through the Cortes the project of law introduced into it by hie government, and further to express, on the part of the lintiah public interested in the Certificates, their entire approval of the settlement proposed therein. 3. That this committee will continue their endeavours, through their commissioner at Madrid, to aid the Sp anish government in coming to an immediate settleine-•t of these claims in a manner honourable to Spain, her government, and her Cortes, upon tenon which have been agreed upon as satisfactory to those whom the committee represents.

The increase in the coin • and bullion in the French Bank, while our Bank, in spite of its 10 per cent. rate of discount, is losing gold, is very d i . l. suggestive; of the necessity of an alteration in our monetary system. The weekly return of the Bank of France shows the following changes : Coin and bullion lncrease £550,000 Bills discounted Government deposits lncrease 540,000 Notes in circulation I'rivate deposits Advances The failure is announced of Messrs. W. K. Con brough and Co., merchants, of Liverpool. Their liabilities reach about 150,0001., and the stoppage is attributed to the heavy fall in cotton.

St This morning Mr. John Humphreys, Middlesex fis• coroner, held an inquiry at the Londo n Hos p ital, touching It: the death by fire of Catherine Hennessey, aged 14 years. st. The deceased girl lived with her parents, at No. 1, St. Elizabeth-gardens, Stratford. On Monday morning, St. after getting her father's breakfast, she sat do wn St. by the fi re, and fell asleep. She was awoke by Si. finding herself on fire, and she rushed out to the door, t . when the draught caused her clothes to blaze up. Her St shrieks brought a man named John Crawley to her assist- gs, ance, and he cut the clothes off her, but not before she St. ' had been frightfully buret over the whole body, and be St. himself was also burnt. She was taken to the hospital where tt,.• " she died on Wednesday. SL The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death from It fire." The same coroner held a second inquest at the hospital 10 on view of the body of Sophia Bridger, aged S years, who 100 100 was likewise burnt to death. 10 The deceased was the daughter of a boot maker sc living at 6, Ada-place, Hackney-road, and while stand- 9 ing on the fender in the parlour to arrange her it. hair at the glass, her dress caught fire. She rushed, 25 screaming, into the back yard, where the neighours seeing St. her in ileums went to her assistance. With some difficulty n• the fire was put out, but she had been so severe l y burnt ;.;' that she died in the hospitaL At. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death by st. fire." st. 25 A new work, by M. Guizot,entitled " Meditations - on the Present State of the Christian Re li g ion " is on the 11.3 eve of publication in Paris. The DOults, having obtained St an early copy, gives long extracts from the work. After a r resume of the principal transactions which have taken k place in France during the course of the present century, M. Guizot says :—" In the midst of the obstacles, oscillations, deviations, and faults which may be observed, there is an evident Christian awakening in catholic France. Under the action of the causes which I have pointed out there has been evidently progress in Christian faith, progress in Christian science, progress in Christian works, progress in Christian strength—progress incomplete and insufficient it may be, but still real and fruitful—the symptoms of a powerful vitality and of a hopeful future. Lct not the enemies of Christianity deceive themselves; they are waging a war to the death, but it is not a dying foe they have to deal with." With regard to Protestant France, DI. Guizot comes to a like conclusion. At the same time he admits that rationalism, positivaism, pantheism, materialism, and scepticism, are spreading like imperceptible and impal pable miasmata and affecting classes of the population to whom the very meaning of the words is unknown. "Impiety," he says, "carelessness, and religious per plexity, are evident and widespread amongst us. With regard to impiety this is especially true of the working classes and the young generation of the middle class who are intended for tho liberal professions." But religious indifference is even more wide-spread than impiety. "It is like a Dead Sea where no being lives —a sterile desert where no plant grows. If not the most shocking, it is the most serious moral evil of our time. It is against this evil that Christians must especially direct their efforts. Here there is an entire world and whole popula tions to be conquered." M. Guizot believes iu tho final victory of Chrlatianity. " In the French Senate," says a Paris letter in the Journal du Havre, " the question of abolishing the punishment of death, which is shortly coming on fur con sideration, will be the object of a very profound discussion. Several members of that high assembly are expected to speak in favour of the abolition. In order to give more importance to the examination of this mutter, which encloses a great social interest, the go vernment has procured from London and distributed to the senators the report of the English commission on the subject. That inquiry includes the criminal statistics of all the countries in Europe, and is the most complete work ever drawn up on the matter." AMERICAN SUGGESTIONS FOR THE FENIANS.—If it be only a grand display and noise to amuse the Irish people, to gratify their sentiment of love for the old country, and to work up their enthusiasm by way of amusement, and they are willing to pay for that as they pay for being amused at the theatre, all very well. There is no particular objection to that, so that nobody he hurt, and the United States government be not put to expense to maintain the neutrality laws. But if the movement be a serious one ou the part of the leaders, a few pertinent questions might be asked. How many ships would it take to carry an invading army across the Atlantic--such an army as would not be gobbled up piecemeal by the British men-of war and redcoats? How many? A hundred? Fifty? Twenty? How much money would it cost? A hundred millions? Or fifty millions? And where is this money to come from? Then bow are these ships to be ob tained, and how get away from our shores? Can one, can a schooner, be permitted to break the neu trality laws and escape the vigilance of our govern ment ? But some say the colonies are to be taken first and made the point d'appui of operations for the liberation of Ireland. How absurd ! Would not this be filibustering —piracy ? There are some Irishmen in the colonies, but there are more of others who do not want to be conquered and governed by a few Irish filibusters. The colonies are not Ireland. And would the United States per mit the invasion of a friendly territory? Gene ral Meade's presence on the border and the United States navy on the coast are a sufficient answer to the question as to what our government would be bound to do. It is not a question of sympathy with Irish men—here or in Ireland—in their generous desires and aspirations. That they have, probably, from both our government and people ; but it is one of law, of inter national obligations and prudence, that must govern us in this case. In whatever way we look at the visionary scheme to establish an Irish republic we see it is utterly impracticable. Worse than that ; the Irish people are not only deluded, but the leaders are putting this generous country, which some of them have adopted, to great expense and trouble. They have no right to do this under any circumstances, but under the present impracticable and absurd movement they are entirely inexcusable. Perhaps the voice of reason may not be listened to just now, and our Irish fellow citizens may feel it necessary to excite themselves and have a grand sensation, as Head Centre Stephens has arrived, but the time must soon come when the whole affair will collapse and reason regain its sway.—New York Herald, Mai 12. THE RlNG.—Bell ' s Life of to-day says it must be obvious to the veriest tyro, that the exhibition of Thurs day "was never, from the moment the men put their hands up, intended to come to a fight We do not mean to say we believe they had come to an arrangement be tween themselves, but we do say emphatically that any small amount of courage either of them might have screwed up before the day did not adhere to the stick ing point, but oozed out at their fingers' ends directly they caught eight of one another. To see two powerful flea. neither of them dunces, stand up, point at one another, and each at the slightest intimation of danger start back like a timid hare, was a farce of too di sting a nature to be tolerated, and we only wonder that the spec tators, among whom were many foreigners, who had come out of curiosity to witness one of our celebrated boxing matches for the championship, did not hoot them out of the ring." Bell's Life adds that Mace must return the belt at once, and that a resolution from the subscribers to it prohibits either Mace or Goss from ever again contend ing for that trophy. Our contemporary severely condemns the resistance to the police on the occasion of the second fight and hopes the actors in it will be punished. ' Courage, manliness, and skill, the upholding of fair play, and the non-resistance to the authorities have been the leading features upon which we have relied for sup porting the practice of pugilism ; and now that, by these crowning acts of cowardice and violence on Thursday last, all these reasons are scattered to the wind, and when we are asked where are our vaunted justifications for the so called old English art of self-defeace, what answer an we make?
