The news of the liberation of the Abyssinian captives which was current at Constantinople, and was published by the Levant Herald as having been received at the British Embassy, is now contra dicted by that paper. We can now appreciate the wisdom of not having slackeued in the preparations that were being made. These are now providing rapidly, and will doubtless soon be in a forward On Saturday five thousand cases of box ammunition were received by the Admiralty agents in Liverpool, from Woolwich Arsenal. These were at once shipped on board the steamers. These transports, which are to be taken up at Liverpool, are being fitted with all possible despatch, and will be ready to have the Mersey to-morrow or Wed nesday. Ten first-class steamers "of an aggregate tonnigs of 2 0,695, and with a total engine power of 2,940 horses have been chartered at LiverpOol for the conveyance of troops and stores." The • state. troop ships are measured to carry 354 officers and 800 men. It will be seen by a glance at these details that the whole work has been carried on in a right spirit, and that there is no sign of that lack of energy and want of forethought which have to long interfered with the conduct of our affairs in these warlike expeditions. It stands to sense that if a thing of this sort has to be done at all it should be done effectually, and to ensure a swift and suc cessful termination to the work it is necessary to use diligence and exercise judgment. It is a relief to the minds of those who have so long watched this affair, and regretted the sad condition of the Abyssinian captives, to know that something deci sive is being done at last. One thing is quite cer tain that the time had come for action to take the place of words, and the honour of the country im peratively demanded that no more trifling should go on. Faulty or mistaken as the conduct of some of these sufferers may have been in the first instance, that is no excuse for the course pursued by King THEODORE. We may hope that some of the dangers and difficulties that have been mentioned as lying in store for the expedition that is about to start for the rescue of the captives have been exaggerated. Mr. DuFroN has written to state that there is " not a solitary yard of jungle to be met with between Massowah and the capital of King THEODORE." It will be a satisfaction to hear that the expedition has fairly started, and that we are in a fair way of having the question settled somehow or other before long. The present state of anxiety and uncertainty is most unfortunate, and not at all conducive to the upholding of our authority abroad, and the sooner 1 it is put a stop to the better, both for the immediate interests involved and the example to others, like King THEODORE, in the future. On Friday afternoon Sir RODERICK 'MURCHISON fulfilled his promise of explaining to the members of the Geographical Section at Dundee his reasons for still cherishing the hope that our great African explorer is still alive. There can be but one wish on this subject, although there is great diversity of opinion ; and it is encouraging to know that so emi nent an authority and so experienced a geographer as Sir RODERICK MußcmsoN can, after deliberate consideration, arrive at this conclusion. Sir RODERICK began by recounting the main objects and ;the progress of LI VINGSI ONE'S expedition, so far as we knew. lie wished to ascertain whether there was any outlet to the south from Lake Tangauyka, the fresh water lake discovered by BURTON and SPEKE. The fact of its being a fresh water lake led to the inference that there must be such an eutlet, but Dr. LIVINGSTONE had settled the point that there was no communication between Tangauyka and Nyassa, and therefore it remained to be seen whether Tangauyka might not be in communication with Albert Nyanza or Victoria Nyanza. LIVINGSTONE took carpenters to pre pare boats in order to cross the lake. Should he be alive and accomplish this object, he would, said Sir R-GDIPICK MURCHISON, be the most glorious of African explorers . It is not a little curious and interesting to find how mistaken were the notions of even modern geographers with regard to this country. I was described as a waste of arid desert with scarcely any population ; certainly no one dreamed of the existence of great fresh water lakes in the interior. Sir RODERICK reminds his hearers that Dr. LIVINGSTONE had crossed and re-crossed Africa several times with black men only, and that once before he had not been heard of for a year, so that he did not thing the mere fact of not knowing where he was not :sufficent to excite alarm. It is true that if LIVINGSTONE succeeded, as he hoped to do, in getting to the centre of Africa, a long time must necessarily elapse without his being heard of. Then, again, what could have been the object of MOUSA and the other men in concocting the story of their leader's death ? Possibly they did SQ to attract notoriety, or to explain their own return, having deserted him and perhaps purloined his goods. At the same time we must not conceal from ourselves that the task which LIVINGSTONE under took was one of great difficulty and danger, and that it was quite within the limits of probability that his adventurous career would be closed by some such disaster. On MouSa's testimony Sir RODERICK MURCHISON places little reliance, lie noticed a marked discrepancy in the accounts which he gave to the Bombay sepoy, who had accompanied LIVING STONE on a part of his journey, and to Dr. KIRK. In one story he said that LIVINGSTONE was killed by the blow of a hatchet; in the other, that he was shot with arrows. This is certainly a very singular variation, since there could not have been much doubt as to the manner of his death. MousA's returning to bury the body is regarded by many as apocryphal, inasmuch as it is quite inconsistent with his avowed cowardice. It is worth notice that the story of the murder is told by MOUSA alone, none of the other Johanna men having been pre sent. At any rate there is sufficient uncertainty about the story to make it very desirable to ascer tain the actual truth, and it is highly satisfactory to know that the appeal of Sir R. MuncursoN, as President of the Royal Geographical Society, was promptly and cordially responded to by the Govern ment. Mr. YOUNG, a warrant officer, who spent two years on the Zambesi River with LIVINGSTONE, has been chosen as the leader, and it is encourag ing to know that he also entertains hopes that the illustrious traveller is alive. The old spirit of adventure and enterprise is not yet chilled in our race, for although only three Europeans have been chosen fur the expedition there have been more than 50 volunteers. The plan of the expe dition is to sail up the Zambesi, thence up the Scheri, carrying their steel boat, which can be taken to pieces, past the Murchison falls. After passing these falls they will launch it again, and reach Lake Nyassa, exploring the eastern side of the lake, as LIVINGSTONE has done the west. It is confidently believed that the expedition will be certain, if LIVINGSTONE is dead, to find traces of him, his apparatus, his clothes, and papers being certain to come down the lake in the course of native trading. To written documents the natives attach great importance, and Sir R. MURCHISON mentioned in his speech that every article belonging to the German traveller; RocnEß, who was killed in a quarrel with the natives, had been subsequently recovered. The journey will take, it is believed, till the end of November, and by Christmas it is hoped the result will be known in England. News of the safety of our distinguished countryman would indeed be a welcome Christmas gift to many a household, but while we cling to the possibility we must be pre pared for less cheerful tidings. At any rate, the search is an imperative duty, and while it will set the minds of LIVINGSTONE'S friends at rest from their anxiety, it will, we may hope, afford a moral pro tection to all future travellers from the cruelty or the cupidity of the natives. In the Phoenix Park, on Friday, a ceremony of great interest took place, for the officers and men of the Irish constabulary were presented with testi monials of approval, in recognition of their spirited conduct during the recent outbreaks and disturb ances in that country. The services which they rendered at that critical time are well known to have have been mainly instrumental in Isuppressing the THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 9, 1867. outbreak, and it is fortunate that the Govern ment have had discernment to recognise them These tokens of her MAJESTY'S approval are most appropriate, and will serve to mark their services to a distant time among other scenes when the temporary excitement of the affair is over. The Marchioness of ABERCORN presented the symbols to each of those chosen for the honour, and the Lord-Lieutenant addressed some suitable remarks to them. He said that it was a pleasure to all to witness the distribution of the rewards of merit so worthily bestowed. We agree with his Excellency that these rewards have been given for no " common services," and that in earning them they rendered no common service to the State. " Shut out, as you were, from any assistance, de pendent on your own courage, and in numbers in finitesimally fewer than your assailants, you yet showed most effectually what loyalty and discipline can accomplish." It is satisfactory to know that these services of the constabulary have not been passed over so slightingly as many others have been. As the Lord-Lieutenant reminded his hearers, these men have received the recognition of both Houses of Parliament, and her MAJESTY bas not been un mindful of them. The QUEEN has commanded that in future the force shall bo called the .Royal Irish Constabulary, in recognition of their distinguished services in time of need. Lord MAYO also made a very interesting speech. After stating the readi ness with which Lord DERBY bad communicated his Excellency's wishes on the subject of conferring some special mark of favour on this body of con stabulary to the QUEEN, and the gracious man ner in which her MAJESTY had acquiesced in the suggestion, he went on to comment upon the unusual nature of the services rendered. "I sin cerely hope," he contended, that " you may never again be called upon to discharge such painful duties as you then so nobly performed, and to point your rifles at the breasts of your fellow-countrymen. Your duties are not to impose on an unwilling people the yoke of despotism, or to enforce the mandates of an absolute ruler. You are the free servants of the So vereign of a free people, and your duty is to maintain that order, without which society could not exist, and to enforce those laws which are formidable only to the evil-doer." After the many distress ing scenes which have taken place with respect to this Fenian conspiracy, it is a welcome change to meet with an affair of this kind ; and we hope that while it afforded satisfaction to those immediately concerned, it will serve as an encouragement to others similarly concerned to emulate their zeal, and if the occasion occurs to " go and do likewise." We are glad to find the wanton destruction of our small birth, which annually goes on during the spring, summer, and autumn, is being brought under public notice. What with the sparrow clubs, the bird-sellers, the farmers, the collectors of rare specimens, and the general mischief-makers, boy and man, who rejoice in the mere destruction of anything living, the death lists of the feathered tribes is something startling. It is only wonderful that we have any songsters left. Every grand holiday, such as Easter-Monday, Good Friday, and Whitsuntide celebrates a holocaust of birds, and few are found who care enough about the matter even to make a protest. The farmers, who are most concerned to stop the slaughter, encourage it in every way, from the old prejudice that the birds injure their crops. The birds no doubt get their living out of the crops, at least in a measure, but they do good service for it. Like the farmer's other labourers they live at his expense, but their work pays their living many times over. We fear it is only experience will make men believe this when it is too late. In parts of the Con tinent where the bird slaughter has been pushed still further than among ourselves the increase of destructive insects puzzled the farmer and destroyed valuable crops. In Australia the common sparrow has been thought worthy of importation, a fact which might teach a good deal to our whole sale slaughterers, who have no regard for the humble brown -coated sparrow, or for his more brilliant rivals. CAMPBELL says, speaking of the home sick emigrant, that he will— "Regret the lark that gladdened England's morn ;" but according to modern fashions, he would only regret the lark for want of something to shoot at! It is time that a better theory, at least, were adopted, and that men who have an idea beyond the range of their guns should consider whether they cannot find some more rational amusement than the wholesale slaughter of our pretty and useful feathered friends. CORRESPONDENCE PROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDEIN'T.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. There was a Cabinet Council yesterday afternoon at the Tuileries, at which the Emperor presided. The Emperor and Empress have left Paris for Biarritz. The Siecle says--" The Cabinet of Berlin has been satisfied with the explanations given of the interview between the Emperors of Franco and Austria at Salzburg. We have not yet seen the Austrian note, but it is probable that the Cabinet, of Vienna will follow the example of that of the Tuileries, and that which we shall very soon have the opportunity of comparing the language of M. Beust with that of the Marquis de Moustier." Some of the Paris papers begin to descry another " black point" in the horizon, arising out of the attitude of England and America in regard to the Alabama. One of them is of opinion that the re cently published documents prove the imminent probability that further serious complications will arise although the difficulty is not of recent origin. In a work by M. Guillaume Legean, formerly Vice-Consul of France at Massoura, who lived a long time in Abyssinia, there are some very inte resting particulars relative to the Emperor Theo dore. The Emperor is 49. He is of middle height, of commanding appearance, and has an open and sympathetic countenance. His features are not so regular as those of the Abyssinians in general, but are expressive, although not characteristic, of the dignity which marks certain Oriental types. His eyes are piercing, and the profile indicates the iron will and power which have enabled him to place in subjection the most free and the least docile people of the East. Rigorous towards others in regard to etiquette, he himself affects great indiffe rence as to dress. Europeans have often declined to present themselves to him in consequence of the peculiar costume required on state occasions. He dresses like a simple soldier, wearing a belt with pistols and an English sword. Over all is an em broidered toga. This contempt of luxury is ex hibited in all his arrangements. The furniture of his tent is very simple, although his residences of ;Magdala and Dewra Tabor are encumbered with the richest silks and ornaments of France and the Indies. The Negus, as he is styled, sacrifices everything for effect when he gives audience to foreigners or to chiefs who come to make their sub mission. He leans negligently upon two lions tamed for the purpose, and two other lions roam about the room, rather to the terror of strangers. This strange fancy, however, is not a whim of his own, as it appears from the traditions of the country that former Emperors of Abyssinia always had lions to accompany them in their campaigns, who keep guard close to the Imperial tent. The Almanach de Paris says the name of the present Emperor of Abyssinia is Theodore the Second (Kassa Feuaranga), Emperor of Ethiopia, son of Hailo Marian, Prince of Kuava. The Em peror was born at Cherghi (Kuava) in 1818. He was Prince of Dembea in 1850, and elected Emperor at Gondar, and crowned on the 7th of February, 1855. He was first married to Iteghe Tzoobedje, who died in 1860. His second wife is Iteghe Toroneche, daughter of Dedjaz Oubie, Viceroy of Tigre, who was born in 1814. The official title of the Emperor of Abyssinia is Negus nagast ha Ditopeya (King of the Kings of Ethiopia). The Empire of Abyssinia covers a superficies of 50,000 square leagues, and is peopled by four millions and a half of inhabitants. The capital is Gondar, with 8,000 inhabitants. The other principal towns are Adona (capital of the Tigre), with from 7,000 to 8,000 inhabitants; Axoun, called the sacred city ; and Kaovato Basse, and Emfror. The Emperor Theodore, founding his claim upon Abyssinian genealogical tradition, boasts of very ancient descent, that is to say from no less a personage than King Solomon, who had a son by the beautiful Queen of Saba, called Meuilek, whose posterity, with slight interruptions, has governed iu Abyssinia up to this day. Among other new and ingenious methods of ob taining publicity in Paris is that of the dog adver tisment. A bookseller, who publishes a guide, sends dogs about the streets. Attached to their ears is a small handsome card, on which is printed " Don't travel without my Guide," the name and address, of course, being given under n eath. I d on 't k no w the price of the Guide, but I suppose it is dog cheap. Five persons named Varennes, Meuuier, Guichard, Billandon, and Morin, employed in various capaci ties on the Paris, Lyons, and Mediterranean Rail way, who were on duty when the terrible accident happened recently, have appeared before the Tri bunal of Correctional Police at Macon, charged with having, by want of caution, imprudence, neg ligence, and want of attentions to the regulations, caused the deaths of various persons, and severe injury to a number of others. The Tribunal, although admitting that Varennes had exposed his life in en deavouring to save the victims, condemned him to two months, that landou was sentenced to a mon th' s i mpr i sonmen t , the r railway ly man Meunier w a to co one p y mont h.rewe declared,Grhueicchaorud.rt civilly responsible for thecondemnations pronounced against the persons they employ. The commencement of the shooting season in France has been marked by more than the usual number of fatal casualties. Messrs. Gagnard and Durand, tradesmen at the property of M. Rollet, a farmer at Gron. M. Rollet accompanied them. The game was very scarce, and one of the party remarked that their friends would laug • hat them if they went home without any. Upon this M. Durand replied that he would sho , srhis capsule, which was covered with verdigrease, and would prove that he had not used his gun, so that it could not be want of skill. M. Rullet was going to look at it when the gun accidentally went off, the trigger having been touched, and the charge entered his head through the ear, and he died in a few minutes. M. Durand was in such despair that he would have shot himself if he had not been prevented by his friends. M. Lemaine, the agent of an insurance company, was shooting at Longpre, les Corps Saints, when his gun burst, and he was instantly killed. Two brothers were shooting near Liege. A partridge rose suddenly, and in the excitement of the moment one of the brothers fired without look ing round, and shot the other. The gun was only loaded with small shot, and happily the injury will not be very serious. A steam boiler at the manufactory of M. 'ling, near Carpentras, exploded on Friday last, and three men who were at work were so fearfully scalded that they died in two hours. Some others received injury, but were not seriously hurt. Some important and beautifully-executed drain ing works are nearly completed to the west of Paris. A tunnel has been formed at a depth of from 50 to 60 yards from the place de l'Alma to the island of la Grande Jatte, at Neuilly, a distance of more than 6,000 yards. The tunnel crosses under the Seine, and will carry the contents of the gutters and refuse from the left bank. It will also carry away from Paris the impurities fro m the river Bievre. According to the observations of the Board of Longitude of France, it will be on the night and morning of the 13th and 14th inst. that the last of the four eclipses of the moon this year will take place. The entrance of the moon into the penumbra will be on the 13th, at 911. 53m. evening; entrance into the shadow, 11h. 7m. ; middle of the clipse on the 14th, at 14 minutes before one in the morning ; departure from the shadow, 2h. 4m. The moon will emerge from the penumbra at 3h. 19m. The extent of the eclipse will be as much as the 69th Part of 100 of the adi meter of the moon. It is not necessary to go to Switzerland to form an idea of the mode of living and occupations of the Swiss peasantry, for at the Exhibition you may see a great many peculiar and handsome constructions called chalets or cottages. They are situated iu various parts of the Park, where there are also three beautiful Turkish kiosques. It is in cottages of this kind that the celebrated Gruyere cheese is made. It owes its name to a small village in Switzerland, in the canton Fribourg, the name of which (Griers) has been changed or corrupted to Gruyere. In some of the Departments of France cheese of a similar kind is made, but the French admit that it has not the peculiar fl a vour and good qualities of the Gruyere cheese. It is made from fresh drawn mifk, and the press is effected with great care. It is made by an association of small cultivators called 44 fruiterers," the formation of which dates from several ages. A manufacturer of Gruyere cheese is in Switzerland now called "a fruiterer." The corruption of it in France is enormous. The treail price is about a franc a pound. LA TEST INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET. CASUAL ECONO3lY.—Elizabeth Wood, a hungry looking woman, with a hungry-looking infant in her arms, was charged with applying for admission to the casual ward of the Strand Union while having in her possession sufficient money to pay for her lodging. A policeman said the prisoner applied at the Bow street station, at half-past eight on Saturday night, for an order of admission to the casual ward. She said she had no money to pay for a lodging. The inspector ordered her to be searched, and 3s. 41d. was found on her. Mrs. Smith, the female searcher at the Bow street police station, said she searched the prisoner, and found 3s. 4id. on her. The prisoner begged her not to say anything about it to the inspector, or she should not get an order. She said it was the first time she had been there, and she did not know it was wrong. Witness, however, remembered to have seen her on previous occasions, and had no doubt she knew the regulations perfectly well. The prisoner, in fact, did ultimately admit that she had been there before, only once, and this a long while ago. Witness was sure she had been several times. She told witness she wanted to go to Maidstone on Monday, and the fare was 2s. 3d. The prisoner said that this was true, and if she spent 6d. for a bed on Saturday night and the same on Sunday night, making is., she would have nothing to buy food for herself or her child on Sun day. It was the first time she had been guilty of an act of the kind, and she would certainly never do it again. Mr. Vaughan asked how long it was since the prisoner had applied to the casual ward before. Mr. Smith really could not tell. He kept a book in which were entered the names of the applicants, but as they generally gave a different name every time it was impossible to trace them. Mr. Vaughan saki it was quite possible the pri soner's story was true, and at all events it did not appear that she had been brought to this Court be fore. He should give her the benefit of that circum stance, and discharge her with the caution that she must not attempt this kind of deceit again, or she would certainly be punished. MANSION-HOUSE. A DIFFICULT SUBJECT TO GET RID OF.—This morning, Mrs. Newman, who was described as get ting her livelihood by the sale of old clothes, and who was a very pretty Irishwoman of about 30 years of age, was brought before Alderman Sir Robert Carden, in the Justice-room at the Man sion-house, charged with assaulting and threaten ing a Mrs. Jones. Mr. Beard appeared for the prosecution, and stated that unfortunately some eight years agoithe defendant had a child by the complainant's husband, and that, although she had received money for its support, as well as various other sums at different times, she had continually annoyed and threatened the complainant, using the vilest language. About two months ago she was brought up at Guildhall, and, not being able to find bail, was sent to Hollo way, from which she came out on Monday last, and on Saturday she had gone to the complainant's house and thrown jugs and other missiles at her, besides declar ing, in the most revolting language, that she would do for her with a knife. The husband had given her £3O to go to America, and she actually went there, but immediately on her arrival re-embarked and returned to England. Since then she had been a constant source of annoyance to Mr. and Mrs. Jones, although the bastardy money was paid regu larly. Mrs. Jones stated that the defendant threw two or three jugs at her, and threatened to stab her, at the same time adding " that she should then marry Mr. Jones.' The defendant, who, during the whole examina tion had conducted herself in a most voluble and angry manner, here said that she had gone to America because Mr. Jones brought her a paper, which he said came from the Lord Mayor, ordering her to go, and she thought she was obliged to do so. When she got on board the ship, however, the captain told lwr it was only a ruse to get her to go, and advised her to go back, as she had no friends in America. That was why she came back. Her little boy was eight years old, and all she wanted was to get a liv.ng for him and herself. Sir R. Carden asked her if she would promise to keep the peace if he would let her off. If she did not he must bind her over in immediate bail, which she would not be able to obtain, and she would go to prison for a year. After long hesitation and voluble explanations she promised, and Sir R. Carden told the complainants not to interfere with her in any way. The wife said " she was ashamed of her." Sir R. Cardeu—lt's your husband you ought to be ashamed of. GUILDHALL. A VISITOR FROM THE INFERNAL REGIONS.-- A man, apparently about 40 years of age, who gave the name of Charles Westlock, but refused to give his address or occupation, was charged before Sir Francis Moon to-day, with being found in the streets and not giving any satisfactory account of himself. The prisoner, whose matted locks and general appearance, realised the description of Dickens's Haunted Man," addressed the magistrate in a very excited manner, but was informed that he must wait till the evidence in support of the charge was heard. He bowed respectfully, and said some thing about another magistrate in hell. From the statement of a police-constable it ap peared that late on Saturday night he found the prisoner sitting at the end of Chancery-lane, Fleet street. lle had watched him for some time pre viously, and from some frantic gesticulations on his part he came to the conclusion that he was drunk. Ho asked him to go home, but prisoner did not appear to understand him. He then asked him his name, and he said, "lam a lost soul." On being asked where he lived, he replied in a sepulchral voice, "My residence is hell." The policeman said that he must go along with him, and the prisoner requested to be taken home. The address given the sepulehrous regions not being familiar to the policeman, he took him to the station. The prisoner entered into a rambling narrative. The Magistrate said the prisoner did not appear in his right senses, and remanded him until Friday, in order that he might undergo medical inspection. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Inspector Bowles, of the C division, mentioned to the Court this morning that an Italian, named John Girotti, who was taken into custody last night by O'Shaughnessy, one of the warrant officers, charged with violently assaulting a female, was unable to appear, in consequence of having since he was taken into custody seriously injured himself. It appears that the man was frequently visited during the night, and nothing was noticed to be the matter with him. However, on being visited at half-past eight this morning, he was found lying on the floor of his cell in a state of insensibility, the back of his head being seriously injured. He was immediately removed to the Middlesex Hospital, the magistrate giving it as his opinion that the man must have received his injury either by falling against the wall or the door post while in a fit. The man remains at the hospital in a dangerous state. THE TAILORS' STRlKE.—Edward WDermott, a tailor, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with as saulting John Murphy, another tailor, and who is also lame. The complainant said that on Saturday night he went into a fish shop in Carnsby-street to have some fish, and the prisoner and four or five others came in. He (prisoner) asked him if he was work ing on strike, upon which he told him that the strike was lost, and that the work he was engaged upon was not strike work, as there was plenty of work to be had. The prisoner then called him , 4 a dung" (a term applied to persons who work for houses whose men are on strike), and said he would drive a knifo through his - heart. The prisoner at the time had a knife in his hand, as he was eating his fish. The prisoner then struck him three or four times in the faco with his closed hand, causing him to bleed profusely, and when the con stable came in and took the prisoner into custody he saw him bleeding. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the complainant said all the men with the prisoner were tailors. The prisoner said that the complainant spoke to him, and he told him not to do so, and then he (complainant) took up a knife and hit him. Police -constable William Lobb, 73 C, said that on taking the prisoner into custody he found that his face was smothered with blood, and there was a good deal of blood on the table. IN hen the pri soner was charged he made no reply. The prisoner said there had been a difference between him and the complainant in the place where they had lodged, and that the complainant wanted to speak to him, and because he would not com plainant took up a knife, and, as he thought com plainant was going to strike him, he thought it was time to strike him. Complainant denied attempting to strike the prisoner. The prisoner called a witness, but he did not benefit him. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he thought the story told by the complainant much more likely to be true than the prisoner's, the more especially as there were five against one—men who chose to bo idle while the complainant chose to woe:. It was the worst of tyranny, and such acts as the prisoner's would always be punished at that court. It was pos sible, although the prisoner spoke of the knife, that he never intended to use it ; but he had assaulted the complainant, and for that he would be committed for six weeks with hard labour The poor fellow was assaulted because he was work ing for his own support. 'WESTMINSTER VIOLENT ASSAULTS ON THE POLlCE.—George Cullen, a young man decently dressed, was charged with being drunk, fighting, and assaulting two police constables iu the execution of their duty. John Rosling, 360 B, said at 3 o'clock on Satur day afternoon he was on duty in Earl-street, West minster, and saw the prisoner and another man fighting. He separated them and got the other man away, and prisoner came back again. When requested to go away, he said he would not, using threatening language to the constable, and struck him in the face ; he took him into custody, when prisoner threw himself down, frequently kicked him about the legs, and bit him in the hand. John Grant, 289 B, said he saw Rosling strug gling with the prisoner and went to his assistance. Ha used very bad language, and then kicked wit ness in the head. He tried to knock them both down. With the assistance of two other constables he was taken to the station. Prisoner had no questions to ask, and said he was not in the habit of drinking. On Saturday he met a friend who gave him some drink, and it over came him, so that he remembered nothing until he found himself in the police col. Mr. Selfe said he would not have the police knocked about in this way, and had it not been for his not being there before he would have sent him to prison without a fine. He sentenced him to pay 40s. fine, or be imprisoned for a month. THAMES. ASSAULTING THE POLICE.—F. Ewing, a labourer, was charged with assaulting a policeman. The constable (Damurett) stated that yesterday afternoon ho was attempting to drive away a great number of idle and disorderly boys from Lower East Smithfield without using any violence, when the prisoner, who was intoxicated, interfered, and asked him why he interfered with the boys. lie said the boys had much better be at church or chapel than gambling and swearing in the public streets on a Sunday afternoon. The prisoner then called him a monkey and a scoundrel, with powerful sanguinary adjectives before each word, struck him, and knocked off his helmet. Ile was driven by the force of the blow from one side of the way to the other. He seized the prisoner, who made a determined re sistance and kicked at him. lle procured the aid of another constable and took the prisoner, who was very drunk, to the station house. After the pri soner was locked up he kicked at the door of the cell, and made so much disturbance that it was found necessary to take off his boots. Mr. Paget—Did he kick you ? Constable—No, sir; he kicked at me. Mr. Paget—That will save him from a longer term of imprisonment than I am about to inflict. The prisoner is sentenced to 21 days' imprisonment and hard labour. The Prisoner—Will you take a fine ? A friend of the prisoner at the back of the court said—Do fine him, sir, I will pay it. Mr. Paget—l will not inflict fines for assaults on the police. Francis William Matthews, who has been a waiter at a foreign beer-house, was charged with assaulting Police-constable' Ayres, 96 K. The constable stated that the prisoner was inter fering with two sailors who were in search of a lodging. A row ensued between them, and he told HER MAJESTY• BALMORAL, Sept. 7. The Queen walked out yesterday morning, ne companied by Princess Christian ; and in the after noon her Majesty drove to the Lynn of Quoich, with Princess Christian and his Excellency M. and Madame Van de Weyer.
