GIVING THE LIE TO A SERVANT.-AN ASSAULT NOT WAR- This was an action to recover wages actually earned and wages in lieu of notice, plaintiff alleging that he had been improperly dismissed; Mr. Buchanan, for the defendant, pleading a justification. Plaintiff stated that he had a few words with the super intendent of the department in which he worked, and, after some disputing, the superintendent told plaintiff that he was a liar. Upon this plaintiff struck him a blow in the face, and for this blow he was dismissed summarily. Mr. Buchanan—You admit that you struck the super intendent ? Plaintiff—l did hit him when ho said I tOld a lie, but I only hit him with my hand. Mr. Buchanan called Mr. Thane, the superintendent, who deposed that he had a dispute with plaintiff in refe rence to some work. Plaintiff was referred to the books as to the correctness of the statement of the work done. Plaintiff averred that the books were all wrong, when wit ness replied that it was a lie to say the books were wrong. Plaintiff—The books were never mentioned. He said I was a liar, and I did hit him with my open hand. Mr. Buchanan—And for that assault your dismissal fol lowed. His Honour—Then I cannot see the justice of dismiss ing the plaintiff. So far as lam concerned, lam bound to say that the plaintiff cannot recover his claim ; but I do think that the word used was most unjustifiable. It is a word that should never be used by one man to another, and really I cannot blame a man for resenting such an in sult. Strong language is always to be deprecated, but upon the defence I must find for the defendant, though I think the superintendent ought to be dismissed. Verdict for the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. A CONJUROR CHARGED WITH ROBBERY.—Henry Kye, describing himself as a " conjuror," but refused his address, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with stealing a gold watch, of the value of £lO, from the person of Mr. William Sanders, rag merchant, No. 51, Carnaby-street. The prosecutor said he was at Mr. Cook's, the St. James's Luncheon Bar, Windmill-street, about one that morning, the prisoner being close to him. Feeling his waistcoat move, he looked down and saw his watch chain hanging loose. He at once concluded the prisoner had taken his watch, which was of the value of £lO, and charged him with taking it, when he dropped it. He then followed the prisoner out of the house, and gave him into custody. In answer to Mr. Mansfield, the prosecutor said the watch was broken at the swivel. The prisoner said he was a "conjuror" and "did tricks." (Laughter.) He was not sober, nor was the pro secutor, who had some girls with him. He believed the prosecutor wanted to get his watch, but he was too sharp, and that then some one else took the prosecutor's. Munday, 78 C, said both parties were far from sober. The prisoner said that all the police knew him, or ought to do, and he hoped his " lordship" would allow him to go with the constable and show him where he lived, as he had forgotten the address. 1918} I Remanded. A SINGULAR CHARGE OF DRUNKENNESS.—Catharine Cortes, residing at 17, Market-street, Fitzroy-square, was charged with being drunk and disorderly. It appears that yesterday afternoon the sergeant went to Foley-street, where her husband is at present at work as a labourer upon a house that is being rebuilt. She had a few words with her husband, who, to get away from her, ran up the ladder to the top of the house. Determined not to be foiled, the defendant rushed up the ladder after her husband, and succeeded in getting to the top ; but the drink she had taken overcame her, and she was unable to descend. A constable then went into the next house, and succeeded in dragging her through a window, and, with assistance, carried her down stairs and to the police station. Mr. Mansfield fined her ss. 107 102 109 110 INES. 0 9} 28 29 600 610 I 1 12 14 124 134 64 7 3 34 114 124 1 3 } 5 19 23 24 3 304 31' 34 31 3S to 31 3 6 81 54 51 24 16 16 18 35 45 13 15 2 21 3} 32 35 505 515 175 22 13 15 17 18 75 8, 105 12 724 774, 185 195 90 95 175 22 11 13 205 210 18 20 1041 n 10!

The prisoner was intoxicated and disozderly, and rolling about the streets in the neighbourhood of the Commercial road, and some children were follo wing her, and laughing andehooting at her eccentricities. She lost her temper and made an attack, not upon those who were amusing them selves at her expense, but on children she met in front of her. She seized a boy, named Walter Henry Bray, of No. 10, Dean-street, knocked him down, and dragged him along by the hair of his head. His mother interposed, and the priso ner abused her and used very foul language, and struck her with her fist on the face. The prisoner then knocked down a little boy, whose mouth bled copiously. The prisoner was then seized and consigned to the custody of the police. She made an attempt to hang herself in the cell, and was found nearly dead, with several strings torn from her dress round her neck, and the constables at the Ring David-lane station had much trouble to save her. A policeman, 334 K, said he knew the prisoner well. She had one month's imprisonment for assaulting him a short time ago. Police-sergeant Sutherland, 46 K, stated that the pri soner was a most disorderly prostitute, and had repeatedly been in custody. The prisoner—l am very fond of a drop, sir, and of course when I am in that way I don't know what I do. Mr. Paget said the prisoner was a very bad woman, and that he could not permit respectable persons and their children to be struck with impunity by incorrigible prosti tutes. He sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprison ment for the assault on Mrs. Bray, and one month for the assault on her boy, the sentences to be consecutive, and with hard labour. ANOTHER PRISONER ATTEMPTING TO COMMIT SUICIDE. — Georgina Clark, a middle-aged woman, was charged with assaulting and wounding a German mechanic with whom she has been cohabiting, and who, though seriously injured, would not give evidence against her. She was then charged with attempting to commit suicide by swallowing a quantity of sugar of lead. A police-constable, 60 H, said the prisoner was very bad when she was brought to the station-house, and she had a small' piece of white paper in her hand, which contained the remains of sugar of lead which she had swallowed. Mr. John Scott Signora, surgeon, of No. 34, Leman street, said he was at the station-house on business when the prisoner was brought there, and he ascertained that she had swallowed sulphate of zinc, which was very much like sugar of lead. Sulphate of zinc was a poison, but it was very nearly its own antidote, and acted as an emetic, It was used generally in making a lotion for the eyes. The prisoner was nearly recovered. Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner for a week. WESTMINSTER. ROYALTY IN TROUBLE.—A man of stout stature, who gave the name of King George, a labourer, was charged before Mr. Arnold with violently assaulting two police constables. It appeared that about two o'clock this morning as police-constable B 206 was on duty in the King's-road he heard a great disturbance. The constable went to the spot, where he found the prisoner, who was under the influence of liquor, and who was threatening to fight any one. The constable endeavoured to quiet him, but he became more violent, and struck the constable in the chest. lie was then seized hold of by the con stable. The prisoner promised that if the officer would let him go to the station-house without laying hold of him he would go quietly. The constable did so, when the pri soner gave him a violent blow, which seriously hurt him. The constable then knocked him down with his staff. The prisoner upon being again taken into custody made a simi lar promise, and again broke it, but was eventually locked up. On his way to the station-house he made a most de termined resistance. He was sent for 14 days to the House of Correction, and held to bail in his own recognisances to keep the peace for three months. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. Market strong. Sales, probably 20,000 bales or more. A V.C. AND B.A.—Among the men who took their B.A. degree at Oxford on Saturday was Mr. Arthur Mayo, of Magdalen-hall. Ile was a midshipman in the Indian navy, and is a Victoria Cross man ; we believe, the only Indian naval office: with that decoration. He obtained the V.C. for bravery at Dacca, Bengal, in 1857, during tho Indian mutiny when ho was but 17 years of age. Mr. Mayo came up to Oxford at Easter, 1862, being at that time on furlough, and since then has been pensioned, in common with the other Indian naval officers. We believe he intends taking Holy Orders : the first V.C. man, we imagine, who has gone through the University course and become a pos tulant for them. JOHN MITCHEL AGAIN.—We read in the New York Tribune:--" The democratic press of our city has recently been strengthened by the accession to its editorial ranks of Mr. John Mitchel, whose published aspirations for an Alabama plantation, well stocked with fat negroes, have been blighted by the sudden and utter collapse of the Jeff. Davis Confederacy, whereof he was one of the founders and remained a pillar until its precipitous downfall. Mr. Mitchel, having probably done more than any other live man to imbue the Southern whites with his own vitriolic hate of the North and the Union, and thus to incite the wholesale murders of our soldiers by exposure, cold, starvation, &c., which have filled 20,000 Northern homes with mourning, has come North to counsel and in struct us in the great and difficult task of conciliation and reconstruction,and is now going on withthat work through the editorial columns of the New role .Daily News."

The Federals have occupied Brownsville. The Confederates had previously sold their artillery to Mexican Imperialists. The fort at Salisbury Pass had surrendered. It was expected that Galveston would also be sur rendered to the Federals on the 28th ult. General Kirby Smith has gone to Mexico with a large amount of money. A large proportion of the citizens of Kentucky have refused to employ free negroes, the object being to drive them from the State. It is not yet decided whether Mr. Jefferson Davis is to be tried by a civil or military tribunal, nor is it certain that he will be tried in the district of ColuMbia. Mr. Garritt Smith, in his speech delivered at the Cooper Institute, declared that the North having fully admitted the laws of war it would be perfidy and a mean crime to punish the fallen foe for treason. The spirit of slavery dwelt in Northern as well as in Southern bosoms. Mr. Horace Greely declared it would be a black violation of faith to try Lee or his pardoned men. A letter in the Nassau - Guardian states that the pirate Parr, who captured the Chesapeake and the Roanoke, appeared off Maine, and there he boarded and fired the bark Lizzie, from Cuba, and then withdrew, leaving the crew to save themselves, and telling the captain that he intended to drown thou sands before the war was over. Panama journals reiterate the statement that Juarez had issued letters of marque. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Money abundant. Gold, 1371. Exchange on London, 150 ; do. Paris, 3 728.

A great fire has taken place at Nashville, which, it is estimated has caused the destruction of $10,000,000 worth of Government stores. Contradictory ac counts have been received as to the cause of the conflagration. It is stated, from a reliable source, that the whole of Georgia is in a starving condition. The Toronto Leader declares that Merritt's testi mony given during the secret sitting of the Con-' spiracy trials contains the glaring misstatement that Clay was present in Montreal in February last. W. 11. Carroll writes that the testimony of Sandford and Connover concerning him is a wilful perjury in every particular. The Georgia journals state that the negroes re fuse to work, and are committing robberies and outrages. The Nassau Admiralty Court has discharged the steamer Alexandria with a caution. She was seized upon suspicion of being a Confederate cruiser. Semi-official depatches from Washington doubt the statement that Juarez had left Chihuahua.

RAILWAY DEBENTURER, &c., REGISTRY BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, and the different clauses were agreed to. The house then resumed. PUBLIC HOUSE ACT (1864) AMENDMENT BILL. The report of the amendments on this bill was brought up. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said that the bill would act with great hardship on a very large and indus trious portion of the community, including the market gar deners, who had to rise unusually early, and who neces sarily required refreshment at the hours when public houses would be closed. He considered that the bill was most arbitrary in its character, and vested the police with a judicial authority which was never contemplated when they were originally constituted. He referredto large towns to show the injurious operation of certain provisions of the bill, and moved that clause 5 be re-inserted so as to give the power of granting all licences in special cases to magistrates sitting in Petty Session instead of to the police. Earl GRANVILLE said there was no doubt as to the princip • ' le of the bill, but the clause in question wou ld natu rally affect its operation. The Earl of DERBY said that there was more objec tion in fact to the form in which the bill was presented than to the principle. The act of last year was intended to apply to London alone, and he believed it had effected much benefit. It appeared from the statement of the noble marquis (Clanricarde) that there was a class who suffered from the power vested in the police, withregard to whom it was desirable that the licensing power should be entrustbd to the magistrates. He had great respect for the police, but he did not consider a chief of that body a person to be clothed with the powers given him under the bill, and he knew a case in which a chief constable had announced that he would not grant a special license under any circumstances. No doubt that was an exceptional case, but it showed how authority might be abused. Earl GRANVILLE Suggested that the license in Lon don should be given to the police, and in the country to the magistrates. The clause was then reinserted, with an undersanding that another clause would be inserted embodying the suggestion of Earl Granville. The remaining clauses were then agreed to. LOCOMOTIVES ON ROADS BILL. This bill went through committee. ADMIRALTY ACTS REPEAL BILL. This bill was read a second time.. DOCKYARD PORTS REGULATION BILL. This bill was read a second time. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—This DAY. The SPEARER took the chair at 20 minutes past 12, • SUPPLY. Mr. DODSON brought up the report on Supply, which was agreed to. WAYS AND MEANS The house went into committee of ways and means, and several votes on account were agreed to. EXCISE ACTS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the following resolution :—That, upon the delivery for home consumption of any British compounded spirits which may be warehoused in any Customs or Excise warehouse upon drawback, there shall be paid for and in respect of and in addition to every one hundred pounds of the Excise duty payable thereon the same rates as are directed by the loth section of the Act passed in the 23d year of the reign of her Majesty, chap. 22 (as construed and explained by the sth section of the Act passed in the 23d and 24th years of the same reign, chap. 36), to be paid for every one hundred pounds of Customs duty payable on goods (not being to bacco or sugar), delivered for home consumption from any Customs warehouse.—Agreed to. COUNTY COURTS EQUITABLE JURISDICTION BILL. In committee on this bill, a resolution was proposed to meet the proposed increase in the salaries of the judges. Mr. A. SMITH urged that it would be better to increase the number of the county court judges than to augment the salaries of those now in existence. Mr. PEEL explained that the proposed increase was on account of the Equitable Jurisdiction Bill, which proposed that no county court judge's salary should ever exceed £1,500 per annum. Only 12 of them now received that sum. Mr. AYRTON hoped there would be no further addi tion to the salaries on account of other duties. Tho CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought the salaries proposed were liberal, but it was impossible to say what might be the nature of the duties imposed on them. He hoped that no further demand would be found to be necessary. The resolution was agreed to, and the house resumed. THIRD READINGS The following public bills were read a third time and passed without discussion :—Greenwich Hospital, Forti fications (Provision for Expenses), Malt Duty, Harbours Transfer, Pier and Harbour Orders Confirmation (No. 2), Pier and Harbour Orders Confirmation (No. 3), Trusts Administration (Scotland), Record of Title (Ireland), Wick and Ayr Burghs Election. INLAND REVENUE BILL. This bill, as amended, was considered and agreed to. FIRE BRIGADE (METROPOLIS) BILL. In clause 10, Mr. BARING moved the introduction of the following words :—" Including the payment of all pensions that have been granted to the members of the said fire engine esta blishment, according to a list that has been furnished to the chairman of the said board by the chief officer of the said fire engine establishment, and all trustees for the same shall be indemnified against such liabilities and obliga tions." The amendment was agreed to. In clause 11, Mr. HARVEY LEWIS moved to strike out the words " thirty-five pounds," and to insert instead "eighty-seven pounds ten shillings." The object of the clause was to protect the metropolitan ratepayers from payingmore than £15,000 to make up the £50,000 annual expenses incurred by the bill. The fire insurance offices were exceedingly wealthy, and he did not see why they should be allowed to escape at the expense of the ratepayer. It was estimated that the expense of carrying the bill would be £50,000 ; now, as the fire insurance offices were to contribute £25,000 per annum, the Government offices were to contribute £10,000; and he considered the remaining £15,000 was all that ought to be contributed by tie ratepayers. Sir M. FARQUHAR opposed the amendment. He denied that the fire offices wished to escape any of their just liabi lities. They were remarkable for the promptness and libe rality with which they liquidated their claims, and he thought it was unjust that they should be made in - any way responsible, further than they had agreed, for the protection of the uninsured property of the metropolis. There were, it was estimated, £900,000,000 worth of pro perty in the metropolis, out of which only £300,000,000 was protected by insurance. Mr. AYRTON thought that insurance ought to be paid according to the risk. Lord FERMOY thought that the fire insurance offices would be much better off under the now law than they were previous to its passing. That being the case he felt that the proposal of his hon. colleague was a per fectly fair one. He thought the insurance companies ought to lower their rate of insurance, because the public were going to greatly improve their position. He felt it was quite true, as had been stated, that in the end the whole of the cost of extinguishing fires would be cast upon the rate payers, without some provision was made to prevent it. He did not see why the burden should be taken off the rich insurance companies, and cast upon the poor rate payers, and for that reason he cordially supported the amendment of his hon. colleague. Mr. BARING could not agree to the amendment. He thought that the principle laid down in the bill, that the proportion to be paid should be according to the amount of property insured, was the best mode that could be adopted. The committee divided, when there appeared—. For the amendment l6 Against Majority —4s The amendment was therefore negatived. Mr. AYRTON moved another amendment to the same clause, but it was negatived without a division. Mr. BARING moved to add the following words to the clause :—" Provided that any insurance company which at the time of the passing of this act contributes to the ex penses of the said fire engine establishment may, in re spect of all payments to be made by it in the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty seven, but not after wards, contribute after the yearly rate of thirty-five pounds in one million pounds of the business in respect of which it contributes to the said fire engine establishment for the present year according to a return which has been furnished to the chairman of the said Metropolitan Board, instead of in the manner in this act pro.vided. ' - - The motion was agreed to, Mr. AYRT ON objected altogether to the clause. He believed it had been slipped into the bill by some of the companies in order that they might escape their just amount of taxation. The committee divided upon the proposition. Ayes Noes Majority The amendment was then agreed to ; and the clause was also agreed to. Clauses up to 15 inclusive were then agreed to. On clause 16, Mr. BLACKBURN said by the clause it appeared that the quota to be paid by the Government offices was £lO,OOO, instead of that he thought that the Government property should be assessed at the rata of one halfpenny in the pound levied upon all property rated to the relief of the poor. _ _ _ - Mr. BARING opposed the amendment. After a short discussion the amendment was rejected. On clause 17 being proposed, Mr. CLAY moved that the following words be added to the clause :—That the proportion of any such payment by the overseer of any parish which shall be attributed to rates paid by any water company in respect of their pipes or works may be deducted by such water company out of the next payment of rates demanded by such overseer, and shall be allowed by him accordingly. Mr. BARING opposed the amendment. Mr. H. LEWIS also opposed the amendment. He said the water company had got acts of Parliament such as they never would succeed in getting at the present time, and they used the public most mercilessly. He for one would be glad of any opportunity that would lead to the breaking up of the monopoly. The amendment was negatived, and the clause was or dered to stand part of the bill. Mr. AYRTON moved thefollowing clause :—The Board shall maintain as many steam fire-engines on the River Thames, within the limits of the metropolis, as may by them be deemed necessary as part of the said Fire Brigade, the Conservators of the River Thames paying out of the funds in their hands, to the said Board, the sum of £3,000 annually, provided they had a surplus, The Conservancy Board, he believed, spent all the re venue they received ; but if their accounts were watched by the Metropolitan Board they would soon have a sur plus instead of deficit. They kept a steamboat to go up and down the river, and he did not see why they should not be called upon to contribute to the fund. Mr. BARING objected to the additional clause, because there was no surplus or fund out of which it could be paid. The proposition was negatived without a division. The preamble was then agreed to, and the bill was re ported with amendments. HARWICH HARBOUR BILL. This bill passed ibrOligliCOn= committee and was reported. CARRIERS ACT AMENDMENT BILL. This bill passed through committee without amendment. ROADS AND BRIDGES (S C 0 T LAND) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Lord ELCHO moved that the Chairman report pro gress. After a short discussion, in which Mr. BLACKBURN and Mr. STIRLING took part, the bill was virtually withdrawn. The sitting of the house was then suspended. The house resumed at six o'clock.

At an early hour in the morning the inhabitants of the industriousand densely-populated neighbourhood of Spital fields were thrown into a painful state of excitement, in consequence of the outbreak of a fire, which was nearly attended with fatal results to two firemen. The premises in which the misfortune commenced belonged to Mr. Eau grave, a looking-glass frame-maker, carrying on business at 15, Fashion-street, Spitalfields. The discovery was made by a police-constable of the H division, by seeing an unusual glare of light in one of the upper rooms. The constable at once sounded an alarm, and the inmates, consisting of two men and two boys, who were sleeping on the ground floor, managed to escape before the flames reached the lower part of the premises. Con ductors S. V ood and W. Joles promptly attended with the Royal Society's escapes; and Turner, the parish engineer, and the engineer of Christ Church parish followed, and also several engines of the London Brigade and two powerful land steamers by Shand, Mason, and Co., under the direction of Mr. Gatehouse, the chief officer of the A district, and the Hon. Colonel Armytage. Fortunately the mains of the East London Company yielded a good supply of water, and the firemen, taking advantage of the same, had the steam and manual power engines set to work, but by that time the roof had fallen in, and the third, second, and first floors were in a thorough state of ignition, owing to the flames descending from room to room with such rapidity. The firemen, however, nothing daunted, carried the hose of their engines up the ladders, in order to discharge the water into the principal seat of the confla gration, and, whilst so engaged, the rounds of one of the ladder broke, and two firemen who had been standing thereon with the heavy hose charged with water were precipitated from the second floor to the ground. Strange to say, neither of them received any other injury than a severe shaking. The fire was ultimately extinguished, but not until the premises, with the exception of a small part of the sleeping apartments, were destroyed. Tho total loss is very considerable. The origin of the fire is unknown, bnt it is understood that the sufferer . was insured. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.
