MARLBOROUGH-STREET. RETURNING FROM THE BOAT RACE.—Thomas Lynch, a porter, was charged lefore Mr. Knox, with assaulting Wm. Prior, omnibus conductor, badge, 4,220. The complainant said that he was on his omnibus, coming from Hammersmith after the boat race, and when the prisoner ;got down in Piccadilly, he asked the pri soner for his fare. Tho prisoner offered him 6d., and he told him that in consequAnce of the boat race the fare was ls., and that he had told him and all the rest of the passengers so before the omnibus started, and as soon as he bad done so the prisoner gave him a violent blow in the mouth and another in the eye, and he then gave him into custody. The prisoner said he did not recollect what he had done. Police constable Smith, 188 0, said that on taking the prisoner into custody he found the complainant's eye and mouth Wording, and was told by him that the prisoner had first refused to pay his fare and then assaulted him, and he then took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner said he was sorry, and that ho did not know there was any increase of fares. Re had boon to the boat race and was not sober. Mr. Knox said if the prisoner thought he could strike persons with impunity he made a mistake. He would be committed for a month, which would teach him to keep his hands to himself. THAMES. A THIEF ON A RAlLWAY.—Frederick William King, a well-dressed man, aged 29 years, was charged with steal ing a gold watch, value 113, from the person of Mr. John Frendenesche, of 137, Mile-end-road, at the Stepney Junction station. The prosecutor was about to enter a train at half-past nine last night when several persons hustled round him although the platform was uct crowdo I. The prisoner was next to him, and wanted to piss him. There was not the slightest occasion for him to hurry. Tho prisoner was then pressing very hard upon him, and all at once he heard a snap, his gold watch was gone and the chain was hang ing down in front of him. He felt something pull at his waistcoat. The robbery was committed so quickly and with such dexterity that he (the prosecutor) was taken off his guard. The prisoner, who was close to him, called out, "Camden-town," as if inquiring for a carriage to that place. Ho was given into custody. Alfred House, porter at the Stepney station, spoke to the suspicious movements of the prisoner on the platform and the delay of the train about to start for the stations on the North London Railway. On the porter asking the prisoner for his ticket, he said, "I am ill; I want to go out and get a glass of ale." The porter searchei him, and found a return ticket from Dalston to Fenchurch-street and the half of another return ticket. That morning he found the bow of the prosecutor's watch on the platform. Henry Barry, police-constable in tho service of the Great Eastern Railway, said that the pink half ticket would en able the prisoner to return to Dalston, and if ho did not go off the platform he would not bo asked for his ticket. The ;prisoner came from Dalston, wont down the stairs, and ascended again to the down platform. The full return ticket would enable the prisoner to travel up and down the line. He believed the prisoner bad been previously convicted, and asked for a remand, as there bad been several robberies on the Blackwall and North London lines by members of the swell mob. The prisoner gave the name Of Frederick Isard, and said he lived with his trother at Oxford-house, Kilburn. Henry Slingsby, police-constab:o, 391 K, said the pri soner was well known to the police, and lived with a note tons woman named Kate Hurley, the most clever female thief in London. Mr. Benson remanded the prisoner until Saturday next. The prisoner —Will you take bail ? Mr. Benson—No, certaiLly not. WESTMINSTER. CARRYING A JOKE TOO FAR. —John Cooper, 16, and Charles Monskton, 17, were charged with stealing a piece of floorcloth, the goods of Matilda Atwood. Mr. Alfred William Jolley, a clerk in the employ of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, Victoria Station, said he was at his window and saw the two prisoners pass the house cf Mrs. Atwood, in Wilton-road, and the oil cloth was outside the shop. They returned, Cooper cut away the oil-cloth with a knife, and they took it away to gether and wont away with it. In answer to Mr. Smyth, he said this kind of thing was done in joke. Mr. Arnold said a learned judge had observed it was carrying a joke too far. Witness continued—He knew Monckton, and believed him to be a very honest, hardworking lad ; he had for merly been in the service of the company. Police-constable, 380 B, Grossman deposed to taking the prisoner's 300 yards from the shop. Monckton ran away and was stopped by a constable. Cooper was undefended, but Mr. W. D. Smyth, of Rochester row, who appeared for the prisoner Monckton, contended that it was a joke, and not likely that he, in good work and of respectable connexions, would resort to this class of theft in open day ; the fact was they took it with the intention of bringing it back. His master gave him an excellent character, and Mr. Arnold remanded them, taking bail for Monckton. Mr. Arnold warned Mrs. Monckton against placing her goods, as he had observed, in the roadway and obstruct ing the thoroughfare; he supposed there was a reason why the police did not summon her, but cautioned her in future.

The sittings of the Birmingham Trades Union Congress aro continued daily, and on Thursday morning the ques tion of the limitation of apprentices was discussed. Several Members present upheld the system which Mr. Odder opposed in a very sensible speech. If youths were no allowed to learn trades, what ho asked, was to become o' them ? If they became beggars, paupers, or thieves, oz picked up an uncertain subsistence, they would operate more against working men than if they were allowed t, come into the trades. Mr. Potter thought there was mucli to be said on both sides, and objected strongly to boylabour, child labour, and woman labour, which ho doclnred was the curse of the country. In the Luaiest times he believed there was an excess of labour. Subsequently a discussion on strikes and lock-oats was held, in the course of which it was mentioned that the dispute in the iron trade cost £45,000; that in the Sheffield file trade, £15,000; that of the tailors in London, £20,000; while that of the coal trade in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and Yorkshire was enormous. In the evening a meeting of the trades unionists was held in the Town Hall, under the presi dency of the mayor. The names of twelve delegates had been selected as the speakers of the evening, each being limited to ten minutes. The subjects were selected by the speakers, the object of the meeting being to give the representatives from the various districts of the country an opportunity of addressing their fellow working men in Birmingham on the questions affecting the industrial classes. Mr. Potter, who opened the discussion, chose for his subject the usefulness of trades unions, and de clared that through theiragency the operatives of the coun try had been benefitted socially, morally, and pecuniarily. Later on the subject selected was the direct representation of labour in Parliament, and Mr, George Odger came forward to recount his electioneering experiences at Chelsea. He had heard it said by newspaper; by twaddling old statesmen in the House of Commons, and fogeyism in the House of Lords, that working men were not true to one another, but he would give the lie to that as the result of his own experience. He declined to stand for Chelsea unless he had a requisition signed by a thousand electors. This he received and he accepted the responsibility. He had not been three days in the borough before he was asked about his birth and origin. He replied that his father was a miner who died when he Was four years old, and he had had to get his own living since he was nine. The Pall Mall Gazette made this out to be a crime. Mr. Odger went on to denounce in no measured terms the " simpering dandyism" of the profession that the Pall Mall Gazette was to be written " by gentlemen for gentlemen." If they had spoken the truth, they would have put outside their office the words " Mangling done here." It did not affect him, for four learned professors came to his aid, headed by Mr. Mill. Still the Pall Mall Gazette attacked him, and at last suggested ho had received money. For this he made them apologise, but he was told Chelsea was a gentleman's constituency, and he was not able to repre sent the literary men who lived there. Mr. Odger, in conclusion, said be believed there were fifty constituencies who would return working mess candidates if working men would do their duty. _ At the Congress, yesterday, Mr. Burton (Manchester) retracted an imputation which he hal made upon Mr. Rupert Kettle, of unfairness in a recent decision as arbitrator at Manchester. The charge, it appeared, was made by the capenters of Manchester. The congress then resumed the discussion of four papers on strikes, lock-outs, and co-operation, read on Thursday. Mr. Hibbs (Birmingham) adopted the politico-economic argument, and Mr. Potter (London) argued that unemployed labour should be applied to the reclamation of waste lands. Mr. Odger (London) con trasted the legislation upon the occasion of the cattle plague with the apathy of Government, when thou sands of men were thown out of work in Coventry and Macclesfield by the operation of the French Treaty. The Cattle Plague Act was legislation for the breeches reket. Ile said that political economists were already shahing for come of the nostrums which they had pro pounded. The Eight Thornns Baer Morrell, D.D., ('xon. re,igned tho coadjutor-L:,liopec of tho diocese of The will of the Eight lion. Edwanl John, Baron Stanley of Alderley, P.C., was proved in tho London court, on the 19th inst., under £70,000 personalty.

The Duke of Cianbridge has conferred the new appointment of milittry controller iu the Chatham district on Assistant-Commissary-General W. Fulford Adams, who has entered on the duties of the office. An extraordinary case of cool daring and gallant determination to save life las just been rewarded by Lie Royal Humane Society by the presentrtion of handsome and suitable testimonials to two men named Buckley and Jones, who were recently instrumental in rescuing four persons from suffocation by chokedz.mp in a well at Liver pool. It appears from the proceedings at one of the com mittees of the Manchester City Council that the expense attending the reception of the Prince of Wales in Manches ter was £560. The Corporation was congratulated upon the economy which had been observed ; and it was mentioned that there had been a possibility of the visit entailirg an expense of £5,000. The report of the Seitct Committee appointed to inquire into the Abyssinian war was pub:ished on Friday. together with the evitlen( o taken before them. The eri denco we have presented to our readers as it came out. The coma , toe dec'are they are rot in a condition to report. They have therefore agreed to lay the evidence before the House, with a recommendation that the committee to renppointeii in the next Session of Parliament.

The weather was beautiful. Mr. West, the recorder of Manchester, in his charge to the jury at tho opening of the intermediate ses sions on Thursday, adverted to the Habitual Criminals Act, and stated that he had no great faith in Acts of Parliament 'or the repression of crime. He hoped the Act referred to would be as successful as was desired; but he pointed to good example on the part of those in a higher position of society, and to extended education, as being likely to be productive of considerable goad. At tho opening of the court at Bridgewater, Mr. Brisson asked for more time to go through the lists, to give the names of more bribers, and was compli mented by the Commissioners on the frankness and readiness with which he bad given his evidence. Andrew Allan, glass and china dealer, was next called, and began to detail tho proceedings of the last election. Ho told the story of the voters bottled up at the New Inn. Youn g Prior, akthe Bank, gave him £5OO, and the witness gave the names of about thirty voters who got £lO each. U n Thuraday,at theWolverhamptonßoroughPolice court, Charles Crook, publican, of Walsall, appeared on ad journment to answer a charge preferred against him by the police, that he permitted a booth of which he was the oc cup:or, on the Wolverhampton racecourse, to be used for the purposes of betting. The bench, having heard the evi dence, considered the case proved, and inflicted a penalty of £2O and costs. Mr. rartlett then gave notico of appeal, and the magistrates fixed the amount of the recognisances for prosecuting the appeal at £2OO for the deferium —I two sureties in £lOO each.

There was another panic on the Bonrse to-day, in con lequence of the sinister reports spread with reference to ;he Emperor's health. It is said that an official investi. ration will take place concerning the origin of these -eports. In the special correspondence of the Indepen lance Beige the Emperor is declared to be still confined to Ais bed, and it is added that Lis state is dangerous. the doctors still hope that ho may be able to indertake the excursion to OhAlone. They will not give ;heir consent, however, if there is the least risk in the wttempt, or if the weather should not prove favourable to he invalid. 7 Notwithstanding the prominent position which it )ecupied in the journals yesterday, the interest felt in the report of M. Dcvienne has already died away. As a natter of csurse everyone knew pretty well what the substance of the report would be, for the discussions and liFputes, the concessions and conflicts, which took p'acc between the 4vel pal ties in the Commission were .peedily made known to the f.tvGured few out4le, and by diem communicated to the various political circles. The ;eneral indifference to , this elaborate •p'ece of penman ship may, however, find another expianation. The Dick -witted Pariians rat - lily perceive that M. Devienne's task has not been a labour of love, and they are not Blow to satirise the reformer who regards reforms with such ill concca:cd dislike, and the representative of the great progressive movement, who displays 'So much more regret for the past than confidence in the future. The more sanguine among the Constitutional Imperialists have been reckoning on the adhesion 4,f MM. Jules Payee and Ernest Picard to the Senatus-Consultum. They are, how ever, disappointed. The sentiments attributed to M. Favre have, as you know, been already denied by L'Orient, the journal which originally published his address, and now M. Picard himself has plainly declared, in the columns of the Electeur Libre, that he is by - no means contented with the Senatus-Consultnro. The question now, he declares, lies between the dissolution of the Chambers and the collapse of the Imperial message. The promulgation of the Senatus-Consultum will, it Is thought, take place on the t;th or 9th of September. If so, the Corp 3 Ldgislatif will be summoned for the beginning of October. The forthcoming► debate is looked to with much !interest, and speculation is busy concerning the speakers. I understand that Prince Napoleon has prepared his speech, but that he is not certain to deliver it. I have heard it stated that ho is anxious to take ad vantage of this opportunity to gain the confidence of the senators and of the majority of the Corps LsSgislatif, so as to form a party which will have for its object the pacifio transmission of supreme power to the legitimate inheritor of the throne. This, however, is mere rumour. Judgment was given to-day in the case of M. Lafer rare. You will not be surprised to learn that Article 75 "De la Constitution de l'an VIII!' has proved too strong for Act 1,382 of the Code Napoleon, on which the lawyer and litterateur took his stand, and the Director of Alazas, the Prefect of Police, and the Commissary Simonneau are held irresponsible. The case has come forward very opportunely when the abrogation of the obnoxious article is so eagerly pressed by reforaters, and it will serve the Liberal orators with a very powerful illustration and argument. M. Laferriera who, as you know, was one of the victims of the arbitrary arrests cf June, demanded £4OO damas-es from the Prefect for his brief imprisonment. 311. Laferriere, who is one of the contributors to the Rappel, argued his own cause very forcibly, but the old doctrine of official immunity was not to be evaded. The counsel for the Government admitted that an official might make a mistake, but he could not be held responsible for it. Certainly it is quite time that Article 7r) was disposed of if Constitutional liberty is to be anything more than a name. _ Six thousand signatures have already been attached to the petition to the Senate, praying for the restoration of the municipal privileges of Paris. The petitioners bold that the mayors and councillors of Paris shottld be elected by universal suffrage. The announcement in the Official Journal that neither Ledrn Rollin nor Tibaldi wes comprised ►n the amnesty bas produced a very bad effect. The friends of Ledru Rollin think that, notwithstanding the prohibition, be will come to Paris to do away with his outlawry. The Empress has met with the most.favourable recep tion wherever she has appeared. Her Majesty receives daily several telegrams that inform her of the exact state and condition of the Emperor. Her Majesty has pre sented £BOO to the Prefect of time Rhone to be distributed amongst the charitable institutions of the place, and £BO to the Prefect of the Loire for the families of the suf- ferers by the accident at the Firming coalpit. The post of diplomatic agent at Paris for Mecklenburg, vacant by the death of M. de P,.►raomann, will not be filled up, as in future that Stale will be represented by the Ambassador of the Nora:ell: Co►ifedcration. The roiya asserts that the anthorit:e% intend to prohibit for the future any exhibitions of n•itd beasts. in tcrivit ion al- of London Las :vain beef seizod nt ;lie office of the Afinister of the Interior. A rumour is afloat at Toulouse to the effect eat the miners of Carmaux were /wain on stril.e, and that the 75th company of the line, which was t.) have returned to the town, has received orders to delay its departure. It is reported in military circles that the Duke of Magenta will be recalled from Algiers lot the purpose of accomplishing the reorganisation of the French army according to the scheme proposed by Marshal Niel. When this has been effected ho will, it is added, be made Minister of War, and General Lehmuf will return to his old post. At Beverley the election Commiss'oners sit again on Friday. The evidence of the numerous witn(sys examined on T hurslay was of much the same character as that given on Wednesday. It referred chiefly to the last muni cipal election, and showed that the electors were paid more than usual on that occasion, that some voted under the im preksion that the bribe had reference to the borough elec. tion, but that they wore not told so by any aget.t. The bribes for the municipal election were in some cases given to voters through a hole in the wall of the Mechanics' Hall. One or two witnesses do posed to having been paid for their votes at Parliamentary elections in times past, but not at the last one. A postal convention has been concluded between the English and American Governments for the conveyance of mails between the United States and British llonduras. It provides for a regular exchange of mails, comprising letters, nowsp/pers, books, packages, and samples of mer chandise, between the office of New Orleans on the one side, and I3elizo on the other. 'rho rates of postage are 12 cents. for each letter weighing half an ounce, and 2 cents. for each newspaper. The mails are to be conveyed by the British steamers now running between the poro, and the conven tion will come into operation on the Ist cf Oeto Some interesting facts are contained in a Parlia mentary paper moved for by the Lord Mayor, and presented on Friday. The average annual emigration from the United Kingdom for the ten years ending 1857 was 275,276,,and for the corresponding period which terminated with 1867, only 161,915. The larger number of emigrants still go to the United States, though a vast number have Ltarted for the colonies. In 1867 there wore 9,392 English labourers, 1,061 Scotch, and 23,775, who emigrated to the United States ; 812 English, 132 Scotch, and 1,359 Irish embarked fur British North America; 516 English, 185 Scotch, and 815 Irish to Australasia. No lees than 11,227 Irish spinters sailed for the United States. A great Liberal demonstration took place at Nottingham on Thursday to celebrate Mr. Seoly's return. More than ten thousand persons were present, and tho affair was a great CUCCOSP. Mr. Seely made a long speech, in which he thanked his constituents for the confidence they reposed in him, and said they had many battles to fight, fot the Liberal party was not in an overwhelming majority In the borough. Mr. Mundella, M.P., also made soma observations, and declared that at the next general election they would have vote by WM. They must march on in :he path of progress, and what with the Home of Lords, the aristocracy, the Tories, and the old Whigs, there was n• danger of their going too fast. Ho expressed a belief that in the future Nottingham would retain its old character. Rumours, the Pull Mall Gazette, have been current at Chatham for some days past that the commencement of the approaching year will witness some further sweeping changes and removals in both the civil and the comba tive branches of the Navy, which have been for some time past under the consideration of Mr. Childers. Among the suggested changes not the least important are those which rumour assigns as being about to be carried into effect is the dockyards by the amalgamation of several of the departments and a corresponding reduction in the staff of each. The number of admirals now filling the active list will, it is also somewhat authoritatively asserted, at the same time suffer a considerable diminution, while in some other departments of the service some important changes will be effected. So many are going to bathe in the sea that medi cal advice on the subject is worth attending to. Here is the Lancet's counsel: s a general rule, Ivo expect, tho utility of a sea bath is inversely as the time spent in taking if. This applies at least to the majority of bathers as they arrive ca our coast fatigued with pleasure or work. By de grees they can spend more and more time in the water; but at first the bath should consist in one plunge. If it be taken in the early morning, a cup of hot tea, coffee, or milk, with a little broad, should be disposed of on getting up, and at least half au hour should intervene between the bath and breakfast. The best time for the dip, ne doubt, is about noon. when the breakfast has beau digested, and the luncheon is in prospect. It the bath ballot on 00/ 1 0000 IDAp bo ro ll Media) THE BOMBAY MAIL.
