ON Sunday another crowd gathered in Hyde-park, but the numbers assembled were much fewer than on previous occasions, and fortunately no collision or disturbance took place. This was partly owing to the absence of carriages or equestrians from the Drive, and partly to the careful behaviour of the policemen, very few of whom were indeed allowed to show themselves in uniform in the park, although a large body, together with no inconsiderable force of military, were close at hand in case of emergencies. Some shouting and speechmaking furnished enter tainment to the crowd for an hour or two, and as the evening advanced the park became clear. In the course of the afternoon, however, a portion of the throng overflowed into the Knightsbridge road, and thence made their way into Grosvenor place, Belgrave-square, and several streets in the vicinity, where an assault was made upon the lower windows of the houses, and many hundred panes smashed. The attack was so sudden and unex pected that the police were unprepared, and a quarter of an hour elapsed before sufficient force could be gathered to clear the streets, and in that time a large amount of destruction had been accomplished. Lord Robert Grosvenor's house, in Park-lane, was also assailed, and the windows broken. Nor was the damage confined to aristocratic quarters. Totten ham-court road, some streets in Capiden-town, and other districts, being also the scenes of similar out breaks. The actual perpetrators seemed, in almost all cases, to be young lads ; but among the crowd were many older persons, some of them of respect• able appearance, who advised and encouraged them. The affair, of course, did not end without leaving a number of prisoners in the hands of the police, and the investigation of the charges against these defendants has occupied much time at different courts, where, in the majority of instances, the pri soners were either remanded or held to bail. Two soldiers, privates in the Grenadier Guards, were among the persons captured, and charged with riotous conduct and inciting the mob to commit a breach of the peace. Various sufferers from the attack have made affidavits respecting their losses before the magistrates, with the view of obtaining compensation from the county funds for the damage which they had sustained. MESSRS. STRAHAN, PAUL, AND BATES were again examined at Bow Street on Wednesday, and remanded for another week, the progress of the examination having been impeded bb an nnexpestod &acuity in 667 identifying the securities of the prosecutor, Dr. Grif fith, which have been made away with by the firm. An urgent attempt to induce the magistrate to admit the prisoners to bail was unsuccessful. It is said the trial will take place at the Central Criminal Court, at the sessions to be held in August next, and Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., is retained for the defence. JANES ABRAHAMS, a Polish Jew, who has been for some time hanging about Dover under circumstances calculated to excite suspicion, was brought before the mayor of the town on Thursday, charged with attempting to induce soldiers of the Foreign Legion, encamped at Shorncliffe, to desert. Some of the soldiers were examined, and the prisoner remanded. There is reason to believe that be is a Russian agent. THE assignees of an attorney named Stevens on Thursday recovered 2181., bill of costs against Lord Cardigan, as one of the committee of management of a club which his lordship and others attempted to establish, to be called the Military, Naval and County Service Club. *citants ant Offences. ON SATURDAY MORNING about balf-pa.st one a destructive fire took place at the goods department of the Brighton and South Coast Railway, near the Bricklayers' Arms station, Old Kent-road. The flames commenced in a building of considerable ex tant, fitted up with a steam chaff-cutting machine and boiler, whilst the other floors were filled with provender and other articles. Several engines quickly attended, but in spite of all exertions the tiro could not be extinguished until the premises in which it began were burned down. The company, it is under stood, were insured. SHORTLY AFTER DAYBREAK ON SATURDAY MORNING the extensive distillery of Messrs. Watney and Co., at the waterside, Wandsworth, Surrey, was the scene of a most terrible fire. The still-house, mill, and corn warehouse and barge-house were wholly de stroyed, and the resulting damage is estimated to ap proach 25,0001. A VERY DESTRUCTIVE. FIRE broke out on Tuesday morning at the extensive cabinet manufactory of Mr. Ward, Caroline mews, Russell-square. The brigade and West of England engines shortly arrived at the scene of destruction; but su firm a hold had the flames taken of every part of the factory, that before a supply of water could be obtained the whole es tablishment was in flames. Mr. Ward is not insured. Several of the houses adjoining are severely damaged. THE premises of Messrs. Deane and Co., general merchants in King William-street, London-bridge, were in the course of Sunday night or Monday morn ing forcibly entered by thieves, and property, con sisting of gold and silver watches, plate, and valuables, it is said of the value of nearly 2,0001., stolen. The thieves obtained access to the premises through some houses on Fish-street-hill. Messrs. Deane have offered a reward of 2001. for the apprehension of the burglars. Two YOUNG LADIES—Miss Rees and Miss Anne Rees—were drowned a few days since while bathing near Carmarthen. Their governess rushed into the water to save them, and was also drowned. ON Wednesday the nephew of the late Lord Raglan (Captain Fitzroy Somerset, R.E.) despatched his sergeant, Hallingsworth, E. I. C. Sappers and Miners, to a Mr. Baly's, at Chatham, to cash a check of 501. The bearer, adding 1, made it 1501., and, after re ceiving the money, absconded. THE claims of Lord Dunally, Viscount Boyne, Lord Lifford, and Lord Ashtown—lrish peers—to vote at the election of Representative Peers of Ire land, were on Thursday admitted by the Committee for Privileges. The claims of Lord Mountgarret and the Earl of Annersley were argued and ad journed. VISCOUNTESS PALMERSTON has left town for Brockett hall, where the ceremony of celebrating the majority of Viscount Fordwich took place this week. Lady Palmerston has cards out for an assembly on Wed , nesday next. THE ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL of the Booksellers' Provident Institution was celebrated yesterday week at the Crystal Palace. Most of the leading pub lishers of the metropolis, including Mr. Longman, Mr. H. G. Bohn, and Mr. Murray, were present. The chair was taken by Mr. R. Monckton Milnes, M.P. Baron Usedom, the Prussian Envoy, was amongst the speakers. DURING a debate in the House of Lords one evening last week, no little sensation was caused by the entry into the heuse of Sir Augustus Clifford, bearing on his arm the celebrated Miss O'Neill, now Lady Wrixon Becher. TILE process of raising the magnificent bronze statue to the memory of the late Sir Robert I'eel took place en Monday in the presence of a large number of the members of the corporation of the city of London, several scientific gentlemen, and others, at the corner of Cheapside. The statue is 11 feet inches in height, -~ IX 1 1
