BOW STREET. CHARGE AGAINST THE POLlCE.—Alfred Johns, the deputy keeper of a common lodging house in Eagle-street, lied Lion-square, was place.] at the bar on remand charged with being drunk and disorderly. Superintendent Thomson appeared to watch the case on the part of the police. The evidence of the constables was that on an evening last week a disturbance took place in Holborn, in which three men were concerned. They ran away, and were followed by the police to the house in que.3- tion, which they entered; and the poli,;e cautioned the prisoner, who was i❑ charge of the place, against har bouring bad char,cters. Ile became very abusive, and being drunk the constable endeavoured. to persuade him to go in and remain quiet. This he refused to do, and even tually such a disturbance was creittod that he had to be taken to the station-house. • . • The defendant denied the charge of being drunk, and made a counter charge of assault and perjury against the police. Ho called three witnesses who all agreed that he was not drunk in the evening in question, and that the persons who realty created the disturbance were the ser geant and the police-cuustablos on duty in the Leighbour hood. Sergeant Cook said the defendant was very drunk, so much so that ho did not appear to kunw what ho was doing, and iu support of his testimony the charge-sheet was put in, which showed that the defendant was entered as druuk, and was visited as usual during the time ho was in custody, and the jailor said he was sure the defendant was intoxicated when ho was brought to the station house. Mr. Flower said it was a very serious case. A grave charge had been made against the police, but after hear ing the defendant's witnesses he was bound to say that the police appeared to have used great temper, aud, in fact, so far from assaulting the defendant, had done all they could to persuade him to keep quite. Charges such as the detendant had made yore very easily done, and wero exceedingly difficult to disprove, but he felt that the evidence adduced showed that they had not done what had been imputed to them. They had a very difficult task to perform, and it was the duty of every well-disposed citizen in the country to give them all the protection they could rather than make accusations, which were most base when made falsely, as he believed was the case in the present instance. lie should fine the defendant 10s. or seven days. MARLBORO UGH- STREET. NINE WEEKS AFTER MARRIAGE.—ThOMaS 110W0 7 a young man, was charged before Mr. Knox with assault ing his wife. The complainant, who appeared 22 years of age, said she had only been married to the prisoner nine weeks, and that for the past five weeks she had been subjected to ill usage at his hands. On the previous night the prisoner struck her several times. The prisoner said that finding it impossible to live with the complainant, they had entered into a mutual agree ment that he should go with another female, and she should go with another man. On the previous night the complainant brought the man to assault him, and all he did was in self-defence. In answer to Mr. Knox, the complainant admitted that something improper was going on between her and the man alluded to. Mr. Knox said he had nothing to do with the parties immoral life. He had only to deal with the charge against the prisoner, which was for assaulting his wife. A constable having proved seeing the prisoner, strike the complainant, Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for a month with hard labour, and refused to impose a flue. WESTMINSTER. BURGLARY IS PIMLICO. —Stephen Bassett, a young man, Louisa Mary Ann Bassett, his wife, and Francis Weston, were charged as follows : Eliza Golding, of Stanley-street, Pimlico, said the pri soner Stephen Bassett was her son by a former husband. On Tuesday, the 10th inst., the two Bassetts slept at her house, leaving on the following morning. After their de parture the prosecutrix missed a gold watch and chain and locket, valued together at £B. She gave information to the police. Yesterday morning she found that her house had been broken into, an entry having been effected at the kitchen window. A cruet stand, an Astracan jacket, a pair of spectacles (gold), half a dozen plated spoons, and other articles were stolen. Weston was the female pri soner's brother. The prisoners were remanded until Friday. THAMES. FORGERIES OF ADVANCE NOTES.—Francis Pignatilli, all Italian well known in the port ',London, who is about 60 years of age, was brought up on remand before Mr. Paget, charged with uttering forged advance notes and obtaining various sums of money under false pretences. The prisoner has been a publican, boarding house-keeper, and has acted as an interpreter at this court very fre quently, has been recently uttering a great many seamen's advance notes to several persons, and to a woman named Catherine Buckner, who keeps a boarding- house for sailors in Ship-alley, Nell-close-square, he delivered three for the payment of £2 108., each three days after the sailing of the respectve ships, by the captains of the ships, by whom they were purported to be signed. Mrs. Buckner who will be a great loser by the fraud practised upon her, obtained au advance of ss. upon each note from Mr. Bonner, assistant to Mr. Greaves, pawnbroker, Ratcliff highway. She paid the prisoner Gs. un his representation that ho had shipped ono of her lodgers, and bs. each for two other lodgers he represented to have shipped. Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner for a week.

The conference between the Ministers and the Senate Commission has resulted differently from what was expected. It was currently reported yesterday that the Ministers, after their two days' councils, had decided to yield to the wishes of the Liberal majority and remodel Article 2. To-day I learn from well-informed circles that this has not been the case ; but that Article 2 is to remain as it is, the Ministers having convinced the Commission that the Ministerial responsibility was sufficiently defined by the whole text of the Senatus-Consultum, and that the proposed change in the wording of the article would entail a plebiscitum. I find that the Constitutionnel confirms this impression, and de• clares that the Commission have done wisely not to insist upon a point of mere form, though it holds that the amendment to Article 11 should be strenuously persisted in. This amendment reserves to a Senatus-Consultum the task of regulating the relations between the Senate, the Corps Le'gislatif, the Council of State, and the Emperor, which, according to the draft of the scheme, are to be regulated by an imperial decree. This as tide, I under stand, gave rise to an animated discussion yesterday at the final séance of the Commission. Five Ministers were present, of whom M. Chasseloup-Laubat and M. Magne were, as usual, the chief speakers. I have already referred to the arguments which they employed against the proposed amendment of Article 2. The Ist, 3rd, and 4th Articles, were adopted with little alteration, the Ministers retiring after giving their opinions upon the disputed point. On Article san amendment was resolved upon and accepted by the Government, the precise form of which is not yet stated, but I understand that its object will be to give the Senate the power of opposing in any case the introduction of a law. Two slight changes were made in Articles 7 and 8, while 6,9, and 10, remained untouched. Then came Article 11, upon which, as I have told you, an animated discussion ensued, terminating in the decision of the Commission to maintain the amendment referred to as well as the re-establishment of the address. These two important changes will go far to reconcile the Liberals to the alterations made by the Commission on certain points. It is rumoured that M. Eouher voted for the address, which seems scarcely prabable ; but it is an era of sudden conversions. The Commission reassembles for the last time to-morrow, when M. Devienne will read his report. Some of the members have reserved the right of expressing their individual opin:ons in the public debate. It is stated in well-informed circles that, at a recent in terview at St. C:oud, the Emperor expressed his dissatis faction at the dispute which bad arisen between the Cabinets of Berlin and Vienna. He considers the whole affair to be most inopportune. The entertainment given by the Princo the other day was in honour of his Sovereign's birthday, and not, as was affirmed, in compliment to the Princo de la Tour d'Auvergne. The Emperor did not appear at tho Council of Ministers, his doctors having advised him to keep perfectly quiet for some days after his convalescence. It is noticed that the imperial equipages remain at the Camp of Chtdons, which looks as if the Emperor proposed to go there in the course of September, as was before announced. A slight (accident occurred to the train in which the Prince Imperial returned to St. Cloud, and ciused some delay in his arrival. A piston broke, and it was found necessary to employ an engine taken from a goods train at hand. The train which conveyed the body of Marshal Niel to its last resting-place was met at Toulouse by the military authorities, who accompanied it to Muret. General Lebccuf, President of the Tribunal,pronounced the funeral discourse at the cemetery of Muret. The artists of the Hippodrome have resolved to have a medal struck and presented to Mende;; as a tribute to his brave conduct the other day. M. Arnault also displayed great courage in going forward and shutthig the doors of the cages which had been left open in the confusion that prevailed. M. Lucas is not supposed to be dangerously hurt, but his recovery will be a slow one. The Hippodrome has had a run of ill-luck of late, for yesterday s jockey dis located his shoulder, and a velocipedist met with a serious fall in the middle of the arena. The first oysters have made their appearance at Lyons, and cost the moderate sum of two francs a dozen. Matters are not improved by the intelligence that they will shortly increase in price. MR. BRIGHT'S IRISH LAND SCHEME. AI. The Tablet thinks Mr. Bright's scheme for the settle ment of the land question deserving of consideration. His plan is founded on the assumption that in Ireland many occupiers of land wish to become freeholders, and that many landed proprietors are willing to sell their property. He proposes that, by means of a parliamentary grant, the Government should lend the requisite fund■ to intending purchasers of land ; and ho cal culates that an annual payment of interest and sinking fund, amounting together to less than 6 per cent.,•would suffice to pay off the loans in thirty-five years. Upon this system the purchasing tenant could be immediately secured against eviction, provided that he paid regularly the fixed yearly charge, and at the end of the thirty five years he would become an absolute freeholder. But some points deserve careful deliberation. For instance, how is the present landowner to get a fair price for his land, if the present tenants are alone permitted to bid for their holdings? And, on the other hand, if the competition for the purchases of land be not restEcted to the occupiers, how are these tenants to be protected against the possible ill-treatment of parties who, with out any intention of becoming cultivators, may buy, as middlemen, upon the speculation of extracting from th., actual tenants a larger sum than the yearly charge? Or again, to go a step further, suppose that land has been bought, on Mr. Bright's plan, by the present occupier with the money advanced by the Govern ment, the new purchaser has then to pay, under pain of eviction, five or six per cent. on the advance for five-and-thirty years, and we find ourselves in presence of a dilemma— either this purchaser has made a good bargain, or he has made a bad one ; if a bad one, he may fail to pay the stipulated sum and be subject to eviction—if a good one, he may be tempted to sublet his holding perhaps on short leases, perhaps to tenants at will, at a higher rent than he has to pay. In the former case he would be rather worse off than he is now ; in the latter case we should have given him the means of repro• clueing some of the very evils which it is now our object to remove. Amongst the curiosities of the session of Parliament which has expired, it is noticeable that fishery affairr were brought before the louses of Parliament upon no fewer than sixty days. A fire occurred at the shipbuilding premises, be longing to Messrs. J. and W. Dudgeon, Manchester-road, Milwall, yesterday, causing damage, which is estimated by one account at £BO,OOO. The Sanitary Commissioners have adjourned their inquiry till the commencement of next year. Owing to the extent of the inquiry, and the immense mass of evidence yet to bo taken, it is not expected that this important inquiry will be concluded till the end of 1870, if so soon. In the report of the London General Omnibus Company it is stated that tho very encouraging results which attended the use of maize as provender induced the directors to substitute it entirely for oats. During the summer no other grain has been used for the working studs. Much uneasiness is being felt at Lydney, Wales, on account of the disappearance of a widow lady. She with her daughter attended the late Gloucester Assizes, and has not been seen since. ller daughter has returned, seems to be very excited, and states that she left her mother at Ivy Cot tage, Longhope—a house which does not, as far as inquiry can discover, exist. A man calling himself Wm. Henry Hall charged himself at the Clerkenwell Police-court yesterday as tho Cannon-street murderer, end as the portperator of another at Highgate. About the latter, which ho said had taken place on Saturday, no particulars could be learnt. Of the man himself little was known. It was stated that the man had attempted to commit suicide, and it was plain that he was not sane. The case was remanded. A correspondent of the Church T ones states that when the Bishop of Winchester's eldest son had b.:en in orders one year ho was presented by his father to the rich living of Old Alresford, that the second son was presented to the richest living in the diocese, that the third son, a laymar, was made chancellor of the diocese; and that his son-in law and other relations had boon almost equally well pro vided for. A working saw-grin& r obtained judgment in the Sheffield County Court on Thursday against his employer for the considerable sum of .C-16 45., the balance of wag due. Tho allegation by which ho sustained his case was that there had been no settlement between kns and his master since 1866, an ho had received being payments on account. At length he pressed for an ad justment of his claims, and was discharged. The defence was that in May, 186 S, there was a settlement, and at that time plaintiff admitted that ho was £6 in defendant's debt. So large a swat as that claimed could not, it was con tended, have accrued in so short a time; and further, it was asserted that the claim was made up of discounts deducted from plaintiff's wages according to agreement. Plaintiff, however, insisted that be bad always resisted these deduc tions, and lii4lfeour g:tve . ltiru i verdict for the full amount ;:utgled.
