BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A YOUNO FEMALE.—Thomas Williams, a labourer of No. 2, Street's -buildings, Mount street, Grosvenor-square, was charged, before Mr. Knox, with assaulting Martha Tubbs, a young woman, his step daughter. The complainant said that on the previous evening the prisoner, her stepfather, came home, having been drinking, and abused her, and then ill-used her mother, who was lying in bed ill. She (complainant) left the room, fearing the prisoner would strike her, and went to a neighbour's room. The prisoner followed her, and threatened to kill her, and struck her on the head, threatening to throw her down stairs ; and afterwards in the presence of a constable, he up with his foot, on which there was a heavy boot, and kicked her in the lower part of the stomach, and she had not been able to sleep all night in consequence of the pains she had suffered. Police-constable Upson, 2210, proved seeing the prisoner kick the complainant violently in the stomach, and he then took him into custody. The prisoner said the complainant struck him on the head. Mr. Knox asked the constable whether the prisoner complained last night of being struck by the complainant, and the constable said he did not. The prisoner was drunk at the time. . Y. The prisoner said he had nothing else to say. Mr. Knox said that last night, in the presence of the constable, the prisoner being in liquor at the time, had kicked the complainant in a way which might have causod her death. He could not conceive a more dastardly assault, and if the prisoner thought that he could be permitted to assault females in such a manner he made a mistake. The prisoner would be committed for three months with hard Labour. WESTMINSTER. OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT OF A PAUPER.—Thomas Wise, a strong, hearty-looking fellow, about 35 years of age, was charged with outrageous conduct in St. Margaret's Work house. The defendant has been charged about 30 times with various offences at the workhouse, of which he has at in tervals been an inmate for many years. Tho constant complaint against him is that he will not do any work if he can possibly avoid it, either in the workhouse or out of it, a great part of his time being spent in prison. Thomas Waterman, labour master at the workhouse, said that the defendant was admitted on the 14th, and then began making a disturbance. He waS prevailed upon to be quiet until last night, when he said ho should not sleep in the room selected for him, but would have another, as it was drafty. Witness offered him an extra pair of bankets, but he said ho would not have them, he would have his discharge. Witness gave it him, and then ho said he would not go, he would stay; and he then attacked a poor man named Haynes, who had been sent for his clothes, and beat and kicked him. He next took off some clothing which he had put on, and having thrown thorn at the wit ness seized a ladle, and, rushing to the labour-master's private apartment, demolished his crockery ware and side board. After a great deal of trouble he was got to the station. The Defendant, as usual, said he was always being im posed upon and ill-used by the people at tho woikhouse, and he did not see why ho should sleep in a room with a draft. The poor man Haynes proved that every endeavour was used to keep the defendant quiet. He was then offered a candle to burn in his room all night if he wished it. --- Mr. Ingham committed him for two months for assault- ing Haynes, and two months more for wilful damage. Defendant immediately exclaimed, "I'll murder the -- when I can !" and made a rush towards the labour-master. Ho was so violent that it took three or four persons to restrain him. THAMES. A DRUNKEN TRlEF.—Thomas Elston, aged 24, a coal carman, was brought before Mr Paget on remand charged with feloniously embezzling the sum of £4 165., the monies of Messrs. Butcher and Geeling, coal merchants, No. 256, Devonshire-street, Mile-end. The prisoner was in the employ of a contractor, who engaged with the prosecutors for tho safe delivery of coals to their customers. A few days since he was en trusted with the delivery of 4 tons of coals to Mr. Her mann, E Box of the Exchange Coffee-house, Change-alley, Cornhill, of whom he received £4 165., for which he gave a receipt. Instead of returning with the money to his employer he absconded, and commenced drinking beer and ardent spirits to excess, and was continually intoxi cated till all the money was gone. Ho was arrested by Police-constable Carter, No. 78 K, to whom ho said "It is all through my getting drunk. I have lost the money ; if my employer will take me back I wil repay it." Ho now made a similar proposition to the magis trate, who said he could not entertain such a thing for ono moment, and committed him for trial. STREET TRAFFIC.—Mr. Robert C.4rter was cl-arged with causing an obstruction in Walburgh-'ftreet, St. George-in the-East, by causing a timber carriage laden with timber upwards of 40ft. in length to be left in the carriage way all night. The defence was that the timber carriage and load would not be allowed to enter the City after a certain hour without incurring a penalty. It was stated that the de fendant had been twice convicted of a similar offence. He was now fined 405., which was paid. RAIL WAY BILLS.

Many valuable lives would be lost, blood would flow in torrents, and in the end Ireland would be worse off than in the beginning. It is a noble thing to die for country.; but to get one's self killed or to kill others, with no result to an unhappy country than making bad worse, that is a sin, if ever there was one, aggravated in proportion to the extent of the mischief done, and, therefore, rising to an almost incalculable height of enormity when a whole coun try is deluged with blood, as would be . the case in an internecine civil war in Ireland. • How fearful is the responsibility of the man who involves his coun try in such a calamity ! This being so, as a bishop charged to speak the truth, I declare that the un happy movement which is now disturbing the peace of the country is most sinful in itself, and condemned by the Church under the heaviest censures. I further call upon all owning me fur their pastor who have !iic•eu drawn into this movement at once to abandon an oa erprisans criminal as it is foolish, before they in volve themselves and their families and their country iu the direst calamity. The God-speed of the wise and good does not follow them, the blessing of the Church is not with them, the favour of Heaven they cannot hope for—how can they but lose heart ? Moreover, the informer is on their track, a deter mined soldiery in their front, and if they escape from them with their lives they cannot promise themselves to escape from the condign punishment of the law of the land. To have engaged in this business was the extreme of folly; to persevere in it any longer would be the height of madness. Let all give it up at once. Patriotism, pity for family and friends, self-Feservation, religion, all call upon them to do so. In the name of all, in the name of the living God, I call upon those of my flock who are impli cated to do so." Such a voice issuing from Thurles, the centre of one of the disturbed districts, must exert a power ful influence upon the disaffected. Archbishop Leahy is one of the prelates who has taken an active part in seeking to obtain by constitutional means a remedy for an evil that Parliament can remove, and he concludes with the following excellent advice : " If we have grievances to complain of—and we have—let us good Christians bear with them for a time, so long as it may please Providence that we shall have to bear with them. Let us seek a redress of our grievances, not by an appeal to arms with the battle sure to go against us, not by convulsive efforts, which only serve to exhaust what little of strength remains to us, and to make the power we struggle against tighten its grasp the more—not by such means let us seek the redress of grievances, but by the peaceable constitutional means which all good men can approve, and which deserve the benison of Heaven. Then, with the blessing of that God who rules the destinies of nations, and relying on the strength of a righteous cause, we may trust that the growing liberality of the statesmen of England and the sense of justice as well as the sympathies of the English people will atone to Ireland for centuries of wrong and remove the ill effects of long-continued neglect. If our people are the worst. clothed, the worst fed, and the worst housed of all the peoples of Europe, let us all in our respective spheres endeavour to the utmost of our power to ameliorate their condition by encouraging every effort of agricultural, manufacturing, com mercial, or other enterprises calculated to develope the resources of the country. If the friends of the people of Ireland deplore the unnatural emigration which is draining the life-blood of the nation, hav ing cost us three millions of our population in a few years, let us employ whatever we possess of intelli gence in devising for our people remunerative em ployment so as to keep them at home ; let every one who can do it put forth a hand to stop the haemorrhage which threatens the very life of the nation. Be it the ambition of every one who wishes well to Ireland to regenerate her by these peaceful means. Whoever shall have a hand in the work will have deserved well of his country."

The Fenian war has ended almost as soon as it commenced. It is well for the future peace of the country that the arms which had been collected so long have been used at last. The Fenians them selves have been taught a lesson by bitter expe rience. They counted, no doubt, on being able to seduce, intimidate, or beat the constabulary in their isolated stations ; they thought they had corrupted some of the military, and that the peasantry wou'd rise as soon as they raised the green flag. They thought, above all, that the men who had been drilled so long would fight bravely for the Irish Republic. They now know too well how grievously they miscalcu!ated on all these points. Independent observers of the highest authority have. expressed their opinion of the attempt that hiThaen made in language that ought to open the eyes of even the dupes in Ametlea---not 'English or ,x6ri authori ties, but Roman Catholic judges and Ruin to Catito- lic bishop. At Kildare yesterday Chief Justice Monahan, re ferring to the wounding of a policeman at Leixlip, said it was easy to show the utter folly of this conspiracy, and how rapidly and how effectually all such attempts can be put down : " The constabulary alone have defended several barracks in different parts of the country against tenfold their numbers. It is a mercy for those people themselves that they have everywhere met with such signal ill-success. If these unfortunate and infatuated men had been allowed to take the field, and to come face to face with the soldiery, they would have been mowed down in thousands." Mr. Justice O'llagan, another' Catholic judge, ad dressing the grand jury of Kiikenny, stated yester day that in that county the Fenians had heendriven back to an adjoining county,:from which they came, by the resolution 'of the people, and the same good spirit that baffled the mischief at Kihnoran is be lieved to pervade all the tenant-farmers. ,His lord ship said : " In dealing with this movement the tempered energy of the Executive has been triumphant. The constabulary have proved equal of themselves to meet this unexpected emergency. In circumstances of great difficulty and danger they have behaved with a bravery and faithfulness which have covered them with honour, and they are entitled to the gratitude of Ireland and the empire at large. The conspirators have demonstrated only their o ivu fatuity by a hope less attempt to achieve an impossible object, in sub jecting themselves to such a heavy punishment. Do not take for granted all is over, nor relax unceasing vigilance until social order is wholly beyond the reach of assault. lam glad to see a full grand jury, composed of most influential gentlemen in your county. This county has long been blessed with a resident gentry who recognize the dtities of their position and endeavour to fulfil them. Continue in that excellent course. Stand at your posts. Remain in your houses and among your people. Inspire them with courage by your union and unflinching resolution, and you may set at defiance a conspiracy which is as wicked in its design as it is contemptible and impotent in action." The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Cashel, Dr. Leahy, in a pastoral ha has just issued expressly on the subject, gives_a very correct view..of.-the whole movement. He says :—" Now that excitement is much calmed down, and people look back upon the events of the past week, is not the retrospect one not only to cause us grief, but also to make us ashamed that any number of our countrymen should have committed themselves to an enterprise which, while it equals in folly that of 1848, exhibits far more strikingly a want of that high quality of courage of which Irishmen are justly proud as a distinguishing national quality ? What is it that happened this last week? What were the chief, almost the only, incidents of this rising' of 1867 ? Insurgent bands of men—hundreds in number — attacked police barracks up and down through the country, and almost everywhere were kept at bay, repulsed, and put to flight by handfuls of policemen from half a dozen to a doz2n in number. - And-this was the rising of 1867 !" NeverthelesS, this rising has been:most calamitous." The Archbishop pro ceeds :—" If we have reason to be ashahied of last week's doings, we have but too much reason also deeply to deplore them, as well as the whole busi ness which eventuated in them. What is the actual state of things in Ireland ? General dis quietude, business of every description smitten with paralysis, capital scared away, manufactories given up, the constitution suspended, families plunged in grief for fathers, husbands, brothers, sons torn from them to undergo, a penal servitude worse than death is our present condition ! Still the worst has not come. Not much blood has been shed. There is yet room for wholesome advice, yet time to avert the evils which combined folly and wickedness may bring upon a country, already, alas ! but too unfor tunate." He warns the Fenian dupes that they are acting under the ban of the Church, and that the movement must be sinful because it has not a chance of success. And he thus places the fact before them in the clearest possible light :—" Look at England's resources in men and money--are they not all but inexhaustible? She is certainly the richest country in world, and riches, which are the sinews of war, would go a great way towards prosecuting it to a suc cessful issue. Then she can bring into the field an army, if not so large as continental armies, yet for a theatre of hostilities so limited in extent aslrelanda very large army, fully equipped, highly disciplined, supplemented by an efficient body of constabulary, and capable of being reinforced by 100,000 —if need were, 200,000—volunteers and militiamen,draughted over from England with the utmost facility. To ren der it more formidable, this army wculd have the support of a powerful fleet co-operating With it at every point of the coast where a ship of war could put in. This fleet, effectually blockading the whole line of cost, could doubly insulate an insurgent force, cut it off from all supplies from abroad, and even tually starve it into submission. Against this com bined armament by sea and land What could the genians do—without money, or with comparatively but little, and that little flowing from very precari ous sources ; without arms except rude implernents, or such small arms as might be stealthily imported . ; without discipline, without artillery, Without ca valry, without a navy, withotit supplies, without almost any of•the iirpliances dedessary - for arrying on war ? Behold the tremendous odds against the Fenians. And what is the time Chosen' by them for measuring their strength with the pOwer of Eng land ? As if there were not enough besides to deter mine the chance of war, the time chosen is not when England's hands are full elsewhere, but when they are disengaged everywhere else, so that she is free to concentrate the mass of her forces in Ireland. A trial of strength between the two opposing forces could not be doubtful. The experience of the past tells the result , beforehand. Th e S e p o y rebellion which England crushed, though fighting at au im mense _disadvantage in a region thousands of miles distant, with comparatively small forces, against an enemy scattered over a vast extent of country,--the rebellions that have taken place in Ireland, the rising of '4B, the skirmishes of last week with the consta bulary, all tell what would be the result of a conflict between two so unequally matehed.forces as the Fenians on one side and the combined naval and military power of England on the other. The strug gle would end in defeat and disaster for the. Fenians. But suppose that the Feni kns could for a time make head against England's army, against her navy, against her volunteers and militia, against the swarming millions of her people that would, if neces sary, rush forward to reinforce army and navy suppov, contrary to all human calculation, that the Fenians could succeed in obtaining possession of Ireland for a time, would they be able to hold it? Would England let them have it, and would they be able to hold it ? No. England would spend her last man and her last shilling sooner than let Ireland go from her Were there nothing else to tempt an ambitious and powerful State, the near neighbourhood of Ireland, within - four short hours by steam, would impel England to try at any cost to repossess herself of Ireland. What miseries would not the struggle entail upon this unfortunate country ! And, after all; the issue could not be doubtful.

Out of this sum the directors recommend a - dividend of ss. Od. per sh ire, absorbing £1,356, and leaving £66 to be carried forward to the credit of the next account. GLASGOW AND SOUTH-WEiTERN. The half -3 early general meeting of this company was held. in Glasgow on Wednesday ; Sir Andrew Orr presided. The report, an abstract of which leas appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. • The CHAIRMAII, in moving the adoption of the report, said he regretted that owing to a decrease in the mineral traffic he had to meet them with a re duced dividend. It was the first time during the last five years he had had to do this, and he was glad to say that all the other classes, of traffic showed a satisfactory increase. Referring to the proposed amalgamation of the Glasgow and South- Western with the Midland Railway Company, he stated that the directors considered such a step ne cessary, as from the close alliance which had for so many years existed between the London and North- Western and the Caledonion Companies, the Glas gow and South-Western could not; standing alone, expect to carry that amount of through traffic to which its position entitled it. The terms of the amalgamation might be shortly stated thus : —The debentures and debenture stock and funded debt of each company would rank equally, having the secu rity of the whole of the amalgamated undertaking. The preference stocks of both companies would rank in order of their creation, and the preference and guaranteed stocks of the Glasgow and South- Western would have a very greatly improved secu rity, as they would then have priority over a free revenue, amounting to £1,500,000 per annum, in stead of £300,000 as at present. The ordinary stocks of each company would, at the date of amalgama tion, be merged into one. Five of the directors of the Glasgow and South-Western Company would become by the act directors of the amalgamated undertaking, and these five directors, with, perhaps, one or two others, would be appointed a committee to manage the Scotch portion of the undertaking. Mr. W. KIDSTON said the company was so pros perous under its present management, and was likely co be so injuriously affected in its best inte rests by the proposed amalgamation which would hand the control of the railway over to an English company, that he woud move as an amendmentthat the portion of the report which referred to the pro posed dissolution of the company and its amalga mation with the Midland Company be rejected. Mr. BARBOUR seconded the amendment. Mr. JOHN BURNS also moved as an amendment that the proposed amalgamation be not proceeded with unless the Glasgow and South-Western share holders could be secured by lien over their property or by a fired minimum dividend. Mr. Wm. ROBERTSON seconded the amendment. On the amendment being put to the vote, that of Mr. Burns was lost by 90 to 65, and that of Mr. Kidston by a large majority. The motion of the Chairman, declaring the approval of the report and a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum or. th; cansoLd del stock of the company, was then carried. GREAT NORTH OP SCOTLAND. A special meeting of this company was held on Thursday at the London Tavern ; Mr. J. Duncan the chair. The CHAIRMAN said the object of the meeting was ... _ _ to submit a bill now before Parliament for the ap proval of shareholders in the company resident in London, to authorize the creation of a pre preference stock, which would rank after the de bentures and before the existing preference shares and stocks of the Great North - of Scotland Com pany. He believed that a pre-preference stock was not looked upon with much favour either here or in Scotland, but there was no alternative that he know of to extricate the company from its embirrassments. The company had got into debt to the extent of £300,000 in respect of loans from bankers, and it had arisen from:the difficulty of raising money under the Parliamentary powers granted to the company. Neither the shareholders nor the public would take up the shares, and to carry on the works they were bound to execute, the directors were obliged to borrow the requisite money from the banks. The share holders had been made acquainted with this state SUN OFFICE, 7 O'CLOCK. SPORTING INTEL LIGENCE.—This Day. CROYDON RACES.—Turs DAT. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.

They had lodged with the bankers collateral secu ritics and transfers of stocks or shares. The interes on the loans from the bankers fluctuated with the current rate of interest, which had been sometimes very heavy. The directors thought that if they could create a pre-preference stock at a fixed rate of 4f per cent., it would be far better for the company than having to pay the fluctuating current rates that had been so onerous for several months past. The difference between the latter and the proposed fixed rate of interest would be an actual advantage to the preference shareholders, particularly to the 5 per cent., the A 4f per cent., and the B4f per cent. pre ference holders, as they would receive the benefit of any saving on the amount of interest now paid to the bankers. The money had been borrowed for the construction of works; they bad raised £105,000 for the Denburn junction line on the 'faith of the powers in that act, in which there was a clause by which receivers could be appointed not only on the Denburn junction line, but also om that of the Great North of Scotland line, which would override the preference shares. When that act was passed they did not think it would have been so difficult to raise the capital. They hoped to make the 4f per cent. pre preference stock as marketable as the debentures, because it would rank next to them. By amalgamat ing the Banffshire Railway with their undertaking and taking over their debt of £45,000, the c ompany would be released from a n obligation to subscribe £ ill 7 n s e , s oo in O le f l o lg r t a h t . i auTthheorreise:.l,e extensionno of o f . s t s h o a n t . line 12 the Banffshire line over the debt of pa i y 4 Ton it, and the earned enough to ould rtloeoion,teasrest shares would rani: with the Great es hev had carried IsT B a o i r i t f f h s l o a f LI Scotland r y over that line from orßduckie recently 240 tons of fish inary sh . all the way to London. They had beld.meetings of shareholders in Glasgow and Liverpool this week, and after th e ex p lanations he had given*them as to the necessity and advantage of the measure, they agreed to it as the best means for relieving the com pany from its difficulties. The traffic had suffered from bad weather, and he thought everything was now down to zero. If they could pay off the loans from bankers by means of the proposed measure, it would give them a fair start, and with better wea ther and increased traffic he trusted they would go on improving. He concluded by moTiug a formal resolution to the effect that the meeting, having heard the explanations of the chairman, recom mended that.the amount of pre-preference stock be limited to £330,000, instead of £370,000, as men tioned in the bill now before Parliament. Mr. DAVIDSON had petitioned against the bill, and thought the bankers should be satisfied with a 4 per cent. pre-preference stock for the debt, instead of 4f per cent. pre-preference. On the motion of Mr. IVATso, seconded by Mr. JAM . ESON, it was recommended that the £330,000 of pre-preference stock should bear interest not ex ceeding 4 per cent. per annum, as the best means of relieving the company of its difficulties.
