BTOOkAOII, 22, a labourer, was placed in the dock , chard with committing an outrageous assault upon Mary ATnSiy, a married woman residing in Late. street, Bal la= New-town. It appeared from the evidence of the complainant, a very cot asn eel.looking young woman, and • letter-earner named e Berwick, that about 9 o'clock on Bo x ing night she was ding in the Clapham-road, not far from the Plough, waiting for her husband, when the prisoner, who was an entire stranger to her, came up, put his arms round her waist and shoulders and kissed her several times. lie then dragged her along, when she fell and the prisoner upon her. She struggled and got away from. hint. He caught hold of her a second time, when she again fell and he with her. The postman happened to pass at this time and he pulled the prisoner from her. Re expostulated with him on the impropriety of his conduct, when he struck him. Seeing • constable approaching he ran away. and made his escape. He was not apprehended until some days afterwards, when he stated that he was at another gt place at the time. ea. The complainant said her aide was injured in the fall. et She also said that she was so frightened at the prisoner's la outrageous conduct that she was unable to raise an alarm. The prisoner declared he was not the man. ft Both the complainant and the postman swore positively us to the prisoner's identity. The magistrate said it was a very serious matter that respectable young women could not pass along the streets 84 6 after dark without being assaulted by ruffians who seemed It. to think they could commit any kind of outrage with jai- ft. punity. If they did not know better they must be taught. ge. He committed the prisoner to the Wandsworth House of St. Correction for six months with hod labour, under the at. Aggravated Assaults Acts.

AITTYPTEIC TO RELEASE • PRISONER PROM THE BOUM OP CORRECTION. John Adams, a dirty looking fellow, about 22 years of a ge, described o n the charge-sheet as a labourer, having no home, was charged before Mr. Cooke with of two mo conspiring w ith Philip Bovell, now uudergoing a term imprisonment in the House of Co thection, CoPhilipldbath-field Bovell s, Cler k en well, to e ff ect the escape of said from the above prison. The prisoner said that as the charge ap to be one of serious consequence to him he shoulrg a to have all the witnesses out of court, and his request was complied with. A clerk from the office to the solicitor to the county, said these prooceslings were instituted against the prisoner by direction of the visiting justices of the House of Cor rection, and they were taken under the Prisons Act, 23 and 21 Vic., cap. 136. By the 37th section of that act every person who assisted or attempted to assist a person to escape from the House of Correction, was deemed girilty of committing an act of felony, and, upon con eigsion, was liable to any term of imprisonment with bard labour not exceeding two years. The facts were very simple, and it would appear that the prisoner tut and at the the o th e r men were take n before the magistra Thames police-court, and were sentenced the one to two months' hard labour, and the other to fourteen days' hard labour, and either before they left the cells at the police court, or on their way to the House of Correction they agreed to change their names, and each to serve the other's term of imprisonment. Mr. Cooke inquired if the prisoner had served his full term of punishment. The clerk for the prosecution replied in the affirmative, sad said there had been no miscarriage of justice. It ap peared that the prisoner, who was only sentenced to 14 aim' hard labour, was suffering from the effects of a bad kg, and he was of opinion', that as soon as he entered the prison he would be draughted off to the infirmary and by that means he would be cured. On arriving at the prison when the names were called over the prisoner answered to the name of Bovell, and Doyen answered to the name of Adams, the difference in the terms of im prisonmentbeitig that Adams was only sentenced to 14days' hard labour, whilst Bevel' was sentenced to two calendar months' imprisonment with bar d labour. Nothing would have been known of the intended fraud on the governor of the prison had it not been for the arrival at the prison of a letter addressed to Bovell. When the letter had under gone the usual examination by the authorities of the prison it was taken to the present prisoner, but he declined to receive it, saying that his name was Adams. Subsequently he was taken before the governor and then he stated the reason why he bad changed his name, and also gave as his reason for now divulging his secret that be had not been placed in the Inermary. the ma tter haying been laid before the committee of visiting justices they ordered that the prisoner should be proseeuted, as this was not tho first time that a similar fraud had been attempted, and on one occasion successfully carried out. Having proved the facts, he should oak the magistrate to commit the prisoner for trial. Mr. Cooke asked if it was pay the intention of the justices to prosecu te Bovell for the part he had taken in the tranShC tion. It appeared to him th at he was equ ally as culpable as the prisoner bef Ore him. The clerk for the prosecution said he had received no instructions, but that Boren was no w undergoing his two months' imprisonment. Mr. Cooke did not suggest that the man Bovell should beprosecuted, but if he was to be the facts would be pre cisely, the same of him, and being once taken, a great deal of time would be saved if the prosecution asked for time to consult with the visiting justices. He would re mand the prisoner for that purpose. The clerk stated that he would consult with a gentle man who was present from the House of Correction as to the course suggested by his worship, and haring done so said that he should like a remand, but he begged to call the attention of the magistrate to the fact that Bovell was still under confinement under his sentence of two months. Mr. Cooke said that would make no difference, as the isi:rtes could apply to the Secreta r y of State for the Home meet, and after that obtain a writ of habeas corpus to remand the prisoner to this court to undergo his exa mination on this charge. He then asked the prisoner if he bad got anything to say why he should not be remanded. The prisoner said that he had nothing at present to say. Mr. Cooke then remanded him to the House of Deten tion, and refused to take bail. The prisoner, who treated the matter lightly, was then removed. 8114t1di REMARKS. Barometric pressure had decreased to about 28.9 in. over "i, Scotland yesterday mornhig, and It decreased slowly over Eng- I land yesterday. On Saturday night very strong westerly z winds prevailed on the western and southern coasts ,`, of England. and strong easterly winds on the east coasts °.l of Scotland yesterday. Barometers have again risen rapidly ;:, In the north, and slowly in the south of the British isles. ; Tem perature has decreased considerably. On ou rth-ead c o oastr nings. as well as on the west c o ast of Ireland, the winds this m are fresh from the eastward ; on our other coasts they are light and variable. Rain has been very general, and snow has fallen on our east coast. 2 1 A correspondent of the Time, commenting upon the fire at the Crystal Palace, says :—" I could point out hundreds of very important structures in this great metropolis that would be doomed to total destruction in the event of their taking fire. I would guarantee chat in • hundred the utte rl y there is not one public building defenceless condition of which, under such circumstances, could not be proved." As to the yesterday's fire, he says, " My firm conviction is that if the water had been laidd for on in en available manner, with ho se and jets at comman instant use, the bulk of the destruction might have been prevented. I ascertained from one of the police-officers that there was a large quantity of fire annihilators in the basement of the building, but no one knew how to use them. I asked for their immediate production, as I was well acquainted with their use ; but only judge of my disappointment when he informed me that not one of them was charged." THE UNITED ST %TES CONGRESS AND POLYGAMY. —Our claim to be • nation has been vindicated, and it must be confirmed by the energy with which, from a new point of departure, we shall swiftly advance along the path of empire. Without wasting time in attempting petty and spiteful encroachmenis upon the executive powers of the President, Congress will now have ample scope for the exercise of its own legitimate constitutional functions. Territorial legislation, for instance, will open • wide and impo rtant field for this, particu larly in Utah. An initiatory step in this direction has been taken by Senator Howard, of Michigan, who offered the other day an amendment to the amendinents reported by the committee on territories to the bill of last session to regulate the selection of grand and petit jurors in Utah, and for other purposes. The most significant feature in this amendment is the follow ing clause :—" And, if any person shall presume to solemniae marriage in said territory, who is not by this act authorised so to do, lie shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof before any court of competent jurisdiction shall be punished by • flue not exceeding five hundred dollars nor lees than ono hundred dollars, or be imprisoned in the l'enitentiary not exceeding six mouths, nor less than one month, or both, at the the diecretion of the court." This is a di re ct blow at polygamy as practised among saints in Utah ; for it extends to that territory the pro visions of common law enforced elsewhere in this country which prohibit mag'strate or minister from solemnising a marriage between a man or a woman when either party to the contract has been timely • wife or a husband. If this amendment be adopted by Congress, and enforced by legal and military authority, Brigham Young and the Mormon elders may well tremble lest they lose even the heaven delegated authority which they will plead in opposition to it. —ll cie York Herald, Dec. le.

A FRENCH EDITION OF VIRGIL. —The Abbi De line, an secomphidied scholar and enthusiastic student of Virgil. of whom it was said that to hear him read the Latin poets was in itself to hear them explained, was once asked by an Engli shman at a Paris dinner -party why he did not set to work to translate his favourite author. His reply, making all allowance for French complim ent, was remarkable: ' Monsieur, donnes-moi votre Wipe, et je commence do m ain ." In fact. in spite of this confessed un suitablene of his own language, he had commenced ss a lready. His translat ion occupied him at i n tervals for shove thirty years, and be had not completed it when he died. The number of various readings which he left be hind him in manneoript shows the pains which be took with his work, and the fastidiousness of his own taste as a translator. Yet, even to • French scholar, the abbt's ver sion can hardly seem to convey much of the spirit of the l. s verdict a.s to the better adapt a tion of our Own l a nguage to the task may be t aken as true enough.— L.— Blackwood' s agazine for J 111191117.

There is little business to-day in the Stock Exchange, and although few changes have occurred in prices the tone of most of the markets is rather dull. English govern ment securities are offered, and Consols ex hibit a fresh reduction of 4 per cent. Some of the foreign bonds have likewise given way, but Hie chief British railway shares are quoted the same as on Saturday,in the absence of transactions. The most important feature in the miscellaneous market is a fall of about 34 per cent. in Crystal Palace stock, owing to the destructive fire yesterday in the tropical department. The supply of money in the discount market to- day is very moderate, while the demand is ex tremely active, as usual on the last day of the year. The rate for the best paper is 34 to 4 percent. Consols are now quoted 891 to 4, ex div., both for money and the account (January 10). Spanish Passive Bonds and Certificates are fiat, and have declined 1- to 4 per cent., but the other speculative descriptions are unaltered, with the I exception of a recovery of 4 per cent in Turkish of 1862. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 56 to 57 ; ditto of 1865, 314 to I ; Greek, 144 to 15 ; Spanish Passive, 214 to 4 ; ditto Certi ficates, 144 to 4 ; Italian of 1861, 564 to 4; Mexican, 18 to 4 ; and Russian Scrip, i to 11 prem. United States 5-20 Bonds are unchanged, at 724 to 4, but Erie and Illinois Central railway shares have risen 4 per cent., being quoted 46 to 47, and 80 to 81, respectively. Anglo-American Telegraph shares are called 154 to I ; and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Pre ference, 34 to 4, showing no movement. International Financial shares are quoted 21 to 14 dis. ; London Financial, 16 to 15 dis. ; General Credit, 24 to 14 dia. , ex all ; Credit Fonder, 5 to 44 dis. ; National Discount, 94 to 4 prem. ; and Hudson's Bay, 161 to 4, ex div. The Shannon has arrived from the West Indies with 321,5001. in specie, and the Sir John Law rence, from Sydney, with 37,500 L About 10,0001. in gold was bought by the Bank on Saturday. The French mail steamer Nouveau Monde has arrived at St. Nazaire from Mexico, with 40,000/. in specie, a portion of which is probably on English account. The Board of Trade returns just issued shows that the exports in November were nearly half a million less than in the corresponding month of 1865, and it would appear that this falling off arises exclusively front the check given tu trade by the late crisis. As compared, how ever, with the exports of November, 1864, there is an increase of rather more than three millions. That the general volume of the export trade is satisfactory may be further gathered from the subjoined figures, which relate to the first eleven mo nths of the last three years : Eleven months, 1!4;1 £148,340,863 11. 9, 1866 1865 173,913,222 Descending into items, we find that the exports of woollen and worsted manufactures for November were considerably leas than in November last year, 1 and the same remark applies to linen manufac tures, haberdashery and millinery, hardwares, and some other leading articles The shipments of cotton piece goods, however, show a fresh increase, b e ing 4,517,317!. in November, 1866, against 4,289,9511. in November , 1865, and 3,043,337/. i Nov. 1864. In like manner, cotton yarn rose to 1,170.1031. in Nov. 1866, against 967,487/. in Nov. 1865, and 633,253!. in Nov. 1864. There was also an increase in the shipments of coal for the month : those of iron were pretty well maintained, but copper and brass present a diminution. As regards imports, those of cotton have been upon a full average scale, the receipts being 645,227 cwts. in Nov. last, against 630, 588 cwts. in Nov. 1863, and 621,100 cwts. in Nov. 1864, but this ratio is very different from that presented in the first eleven months of the present year, when no 1ea5than11,255,498 cwts. were imported, against 6,946,153 cwts. in the 11 months of 1865, and 0,707,696 cuts. in the 11 months of 1864. Therevival of the American cotton trade is shown in the fact I that the eleven months imports this year from the United States have reached 4,233,961 cwts., whereas in the eleven months of 1865 they were 433,773 cwts. ; and in 1864, 119,095 cwts. India, however, more than maintains all the ground she has gained. there having been imported from that country 5,229,977 cwts. in the eleven months of 1866, against 3,422,839 in 1865 and 3,784,562 in 1864: Subjoined is a statement (from Mr. Slaughter's Ireekty List) of the railway calls falling due in the month of January.
