MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGItN,E, TWELVE O'CLOCK. No essential alteration is apparent to-day in the general condition of the money market. There is still a steady and growing demand for commercial purposes, and agricultural requirements, now that the harvest has set in with some activity, are expected to create a little more activity in monetary circles. Heavy settlements are impending at the Stock Exchange, owing to the recent operations in Consols, the New Threes, and other descriptions of Government securities. Day by day largo quantities of stock are withdrawn on account of investors, who find it inexpedient to seek for greater - interest and for better security in other quarters. The funds are advancing, besides, all things considered, they are worth more than the figure at which they are quoted. 'There upward tendency is also communicated by the scarcity of stock, and the erroneous views of the speculators for a decline, the operations of whom have committed themselves so heavily that two jobbers on the house have this morning been forced to declare themselves unable to provide for their liabilities. It would not create surprise if further disasters immediately followed, so wild have been the attempts made by excessive sales to depreciate values, in spite of numerous circumstances promis ing much greater prosperitrin the general condition of the country. With the assurances of the Monitear with regard to Prussia, and the progress of the Reform Bill, together with more settled advices from New York, politics at home and abroad have now become as favourable as could be expected. As in the Cousol department, so in the markets for foreign banks, railway shares, and in the various miscellaneous descriptions, heavy losses have been incurred by recent dealing, the fluctuation having been considerable during the last fortnight. In many of the railway shares the movement has ranged from 5 to 10 per cent., and suspensions are therefore likely to ensue, notwithstanding the plethora of money, and the consequent easy terms upon which accommodation can be obtained. There were no gold operations at the Bank of England yesterday. _ _ Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben tures remain steady, at 24 26 ; and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds, at 211 221. At the meeting held to-day of the London and Elackwall Railway Company, the directors reported that the rent for the half-year ending 30th June last had been received, and that a dividend for that period, at the rate of £4 10s. per annum, should be declared, payable on the 14th instant. The traffic returns on the Melbourne and Hob sou's Bay United Railway, for the week ending 30th .May last, was £1,633 against £2,103 in the corresponding week in 1866 ; week ending 6th June, £3,083 against £3,749 ; week ending 13th June, £1,742 against £2,073 ; and for the week ending 20th June, £1,897 against £2,353 in the corresponding week of 1866. At the meeting held to-day of the London and South Western Bank the report of the directors for the half-year ending 30th Juno last, was presented. The directors recommended that a dividend be de clared at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income-tax, and that the balance of £BBl, includ ing £516 rebate on bills not due, be carried to profit and loss new account. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has again been very little business entered into. Sugar, however, has in most instances maintained former rates. In China tea the dealings have been unimportant, but sales of Indian produce, to the extent of about 10,000 pack ages, are "announced. Rice ;has continued to sup port full rates, as also superior qualities of coffee, cocoa, and spices. In tallow there has been very little variation as regards quotations for either present or forward delivery. Two o'CLocic. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Relates were 61f. 82c. Very firm. The improvement in the English Funds has con tinued, but the advance is only 1-16th, though all the markets are firm, with an upward tendency, especially Consols, which are 914 95 for money, and 95 for the account.

The Government broker has this morning com menced his purchases for the Sinking Fund, by buying an amount of £15,000. The Foreign and Colonial lines show little change of importance. Great Luxembourg are dealt in at 114; North Austria and Lombardo- Venetian, 154 ; Grand Trunk of Canada at 174 ; Great Western of Canada, 154 4 ; East Indian, 10 81 1094 ; and Great Indian Peninsula, 108 1081.

TEA.—A rather largo quantity of Indian growth is an nounced for public sale, viz., about 10,000 packages ; but in China descriptions there is nothing of importance going forward. SUGAR.—The dealings in West India have been very limited, and a very small quantity is announced for public competition during the week. The transactions in refined goods have been to a moderate extent at steady rates. COFFEE.—Superior descriptions of colonial have found ready buyers, at fully former values. The stocks on hand compared with those of the corresponding period of.last year show a decrease of about 150 tons. RlM—Business has been rather quiet, but holders show no disposition to reduce prices ; the stocks on hand com prise 5,207 tons against 12,747 tons at the corresponding period last year. TALLOW.—Tho tallow market has been steady during the past week, and prices have been well sustained in all positions, and a fair business has been doing for the time of year. The latest advices from St. Petersburg bring the price rather firmer at 49 sil. rs. for August; the exchange, 33 to 33i. 8,900 casks had been shipped against 2,000 last year.

On this market values have daily changed considerably, making the advance on 186G's since our last report equal to 25s per cwt. We never knew held at this period, both by planters and the trade, so limited a stock of hops, the total being a mere nothing as in compari son with the stock on hand in some years at this time ; which holders are well aware of, making them sanguine that we are to witness much more enhanced rates as we approach nearer the picking season, when the . public will be better able to realise the true condition of the new growth. Present Currency—Rough 1866 Worms tors £lO 15s. to £ll 55., fine ditto £ll 10 to £l2, very choice £l2 125., all per cwt., cash, at the scale. With but few exceptions, planters speak most de spondingly of the growing crop, which, if anything, is worse than when we wrote last. The frosty nights in the early part of the week have checked the burr, it makes no progress ; and this materially lessens the chances of the yield on the good grounds. The Herefordshire accounts are worse than our own; and there cannot be much doubt now but, under the most favourable circumstances, the crop of hops picked in this district will be very small indeed. With the exception of the Valley of the Froome, the pick of hops this year in this county hardly deserves the name of a crop. Of course, there are exceptions here and there, where hops will be grown ; but these are but a few favoged spots. AYLESFORD.—We find but slight improvement here. The plant looks burnt up, and we fear the hops are beyond all hope of recovery. .rare The Price of Gold. - -- - The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.174 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of .t 3 Os. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appeal that gold is at about the same juice in Paris a❑d London. The course of exchange at New York on Loudon for bills at 60 days' sight is about 110 per cent. At this rate there is a profit on the importation of gold from the United States, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, ATIMIST 13, 1867 SII ARE LlST—This Day. -e ORDINARY SELA.RES AND STOCKS.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr). PIIII.Lirs V. ABRAIIAMS.--This was a judgment summons against a married woman who is living with her husband, the facts being probably of au unprecedented character.—llefendant and her hus band are living together, he carrying on a public house, and she conducting a clothes business iu another place. Some dispute arose between plain tiff and Mr. Abrahams in reference to a particular transaction, and she was sued personally. At the time of the trial it was decided that although she was a married women, she could, in accordance with a well-known statute, be sued as a few sole, having carried on trading in the City of London. Ills Honour found a verdict for the plaintiff , a nd as Mrs. Abrahams had not summons was issued. paid the money a judgment This morning Mr. Abrahams appearedas the agent of the defendant, his wife, and informed his honour that defendant was unable to appear in consequence of illness. Plaintiff said that defendant was well able to pay the money. The husband—She does not owe it. His Honour—lt is too late to say that now. A verdict has already' passed for the plaintiff. Plaintiff—Why Mr. Abrahams can well afford to pay ; he has a publichouse. The husband—Au my people are paid at the publichouse. I can pay 20s. in the pound. I have nothing to do with this debt. His Honour—ls your wife so ill that she cannol Leave the house? The husband—She is, and any of the bailiffs can soon be satisfied upon the subject. His Honour—This ease must be adjourned—too ill to attend. Plaintiff-- The husband can pay and so can she. His Honour—You should be careful how you :rust married women. POLICE INTELLIGEACE.—This Day. he would kill all of them before the night was out. He immediately struck her in the face, and knocked hor down. She was cut and bruised about, and he struck her with a chair. Her other son then assaulted her, and when her husband and daughter came to her assistance they were likewise badly treated. The youngest son (Thomas) fre quently beat her, and between them they broke all the things in the place, and they were broken now. In cross-examination she denied assaulting either of them. She knew nothing about the half-sovereign. Thomas declared that they often stole his money. He never assaulted anybody, but only took the shovel away from his mother. The father would not appear against them, and the sister was not presant. They were ordered to find each a surety in £lO to ap pear on Thursday next. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Aug. 12. The coroner's jury in the case of the Bray accident have achieved the rare distinction of completing in one thy an inquiry which it was thought would be protracted. Their verdict is substantially a confirmation of the judgment at which the public had already instinctively arrived—that the disaster arose from ad„ feet in the permanent way. They were unable to offer any opinion as to what the pre cis,: nature of the defect was, and this renders it the more desirable that a full investigation should be held by a Government officer unfettered by local interests and responsible for the efficient discharge of his duties. The history of the accident was quickly disposed of by the evidence of one or two respect able witnesses. Mr. Henry Ebbs, solicitor to a grand jury of the county of Wicklow, deposed that before the train came to Bray-head the pace was slackened, as is usual. About three perches from the bridge he felt the first shock, and the first-class carriage in which he sat, which was in the middle of the train, got off the rails after bumping for a little. He looked over the bridge and saw what had hap pened. He recognised Murphy of Tinahely, lying quite dead beside the engine. He remarked that the new T or flange rail had been laid down joining the old rails, and that while both rails were per fectly even at the top the old railway projected fur ther at the bottom. He believed that the engine was off the line before his carriage, but was not sure. Daniel Smith, a signalman, saw the train coming on very cautiously, and gave the signal "All right." Some repairs had been made the previous evening a little b.!yond the bridge. He could not say if the men did anything with the repairs that evening. The night mail from Enniscorthy and two other trains had passed over before the acci dent. The men were at their breakfast when the ac:ideat occurred. The down train to Enniscorthy passed over the line ten minutes before the acci dent occurred. He bad not examined the rails, because that portion of the line was not in his charge. IV illiam Cosgrave, a platelayer, deposed that he had been putting rails down at the place on the previous d ty, and did everything that was necessary to be done. Was there on Friday night, when an engine and another train ran off at the same points. In reply to Mr. Clay, attorney for the next of kin, the witness stated that he did not put new timbers under the rails which he had laid. Simon Carty, a " gaffer," or milesman, who was in charge of the " length" in which the accident occurred, said he had inspected the place before the train came up, and that 11 trains had passed over from the time the rails had been relaid. lie examined the line for the passing of the first train in the morning, but not afterwards until after the accident. In cross-exa mination, he said that sine the accident the rails had been lowered.at the place where it took place. That had not been done by direction of the engi neer, but by witness and the " walking gaffer." They found out that the rails were too high, and he thought it was likely that was the cause of the acci dent. If they had been properly laid it would not have occurr ed. lie had received instructions from the engineers not to disturb the rails after the acci- dent, and had been suspended in consequence o disobeying thew. Edward M‘Donnell, the signal man in charge of the place, swore that he had in spected it 15 minutes before the accident. lie did not think one side of the rails was higher than the other. Police-con9table John Hans gave evidence as to the engine of the second up train going off the line at the same place on Friday evening. It was stopped in half a minute, and he observed that the two leading wheels were off the rails at the lefthand side. This closed the examination of witnesses, and he jury, after deliberating for 20 minutes, found _ _ _ that the accident which caused the death of the de ceased " occurred from some defect in the perma nent way," adding, " but we have not sufficient evidence to show what that defect was." No addi tional deaths are reported, but the fate of two or three of the sufferers is trembling in the balance. Airs. Williams, of Streamtoun, Newcastle, lies in the International Hotel in a very precarious state. She is in a . condition which renders her case the more distressing. Mr. Jordan lies in the Loughlintown workhouse, with but slight hopes of her recovery. Corney, the butler of Mr. Acton, has suffered severe spinal injuries. Miss Cummins, J. Kavanagh, J. Keenan, and Mr. and Mrs. Bloven, of Armagh, are in the International Hotel, danger ously hurt. All the others, including Murphy and Lane, the driver and stoker, are doing well. The adjourned assizes of Kerry, specially devoted to the trial of Fenian prisoners, terminated on Sa turday. Three of the principals in the February movement were brought up to receive sentences. The first put forward was Captain Moriarty, as he called himself, but whose real name is Mortimer Shea. He was arrested on his way to Cahirciveen with despatches from O'Connor, the Fenian General, whosince escaped after shooting the policeman. The captain was tried on Thursday, and found guilty. Mr. Justice Kheogh, in passing sentence, denounced with characteristic vigour and earnestness the cowardly and abominable conduct of O'Connor and his confederates. He observed that those who came over from foreign shores to disturb the tranquillity of the country, and delude the unfortunate people who were simple-minded enough to be seduced by their misrepresentations, were entitled to no sym pathy, and he felt none for them. They must be de terred by adequate punishment—punishment that will certainly be inflicted—from engaging in similar enterprises. He sentenced the prisoner to 10 years' penal servitule. Noonan, who took the desperate leap from a railway train to escape from custody, but was recaptured and convicted on Friday last, was next placed at the bar. He had been recom mended to mercy on the ground that he did not ap pear to have been a ringleader, and the learned judge stated that on consideration of that circumstance he had reduced his punishment to seven years' penal servitude. The fact that he was in a comfortable condition of life, with the prospect of independence and wealth before him, and that he had abandoned in it to take part in .the conspiracy, ma de his guilt, it his lordship's judgment, the more heinous, and '.lt i had not been for the interposition of the jury he would have imposed the same punishment as in the case of Moriarty. Reilly and Golding., teobroutahreyr Fenian convicts who were concerned in tne F w outbreak, were sen t e nced to fi ve ars ' penal eser vitude. In pronouncing j ud g ment those who com mented forcibly upon the insane . folly of his y lordship had listened to the advice oflve se foreign emifstsatrileesir, who kept out of danger them dupes to suffer, and wh o appearcd s aatutdhelteable to give evidence against them.

THIRD E EAT 1:1) SUN OFFIC4 7 o'CLocK. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—TiIIs EVENING. The Lont. CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. MASTER AND SERVANTS BILL. The LOH.) CHANCELLOR moved that this bill be committed, and after a few trivial amendments in one or two clauses the bill passed through committee. MASTERS' AND WORKMEN'S BILL. The Commons' amendments to this bill were considered and adopted. DOGS REGULATION (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. FACTORY ACTS EXTENSION BILL. The Earl of DEVON moved the third reading of this b. The Earl of LICHFIELD stated that it had been ileged that this bill did not affect flint was fac tories employing fifty hands, and ho thoug ht a stipulation extremely unsatisfactory. He believed that if there was one thing more than another which was ob jectionable, it was that there were certain districts where there would be a Government superintendent over the factories, and others which would be entirely free from such supervision. His lordship then animadverted upon the hardships inflicted upon factories employing 20 or 30 hands by the carrying out of the proposed res eater tricted act, a nd stated that he could hardly conceive a gr injus tice than that factories employing 50 hands should escape. No ono could admire more than ho did the act of 1864 relating to the Potteries, but he would not admit that there could b 3 an advantageous application of that legislation to the present bill, inasmuch as the only defect in it was that it did not extend to all the trades in the Potter, districts. He knew of so many instances of large manufactories in his own county that he could not allow the third reading of this bill to pass without expressing his firm conviction that a certain portion of it relative to its extension would be found prejudicial. He was sure that, as far as the country was concerned, that a measure which had in cluded all the trades in the same place would have given universal satisfaction. Ho would rather see the bill even now go out rather than that it should stand alone. He was sure that if the bill stood alone there was so much inconsistency, so much injustice, and so much, if he might be allowed to say so, absurdity, that it would defeat the object it was designed to effect. The Earl of DEVON said that there was another Bill in the other House which they had hoped to bring before their lordships for consideration that session, but owing to the exigency of a large pressure of business it could not e effected. The noble Earl had spoken against the giving such a largo power of interference amongst certain classes of factories, but this was a question which ho could not go into until the other bill was before the house next ses sion. He argued with the noble earl that the excellent working of the Factory Act was greatly facilitated by the readiness and goodwill on the part of factory owners. (LEFT SPEAKINU.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Tms EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 2 o'clock. THE TORNADO. Mr. B. COCHRA.NE asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he could state what decision the Spanish Council of State had arrived at iu the case of the Tornado ? Lord STANLEY said he had not yet received any in formatien as to the decision of the Spanish authorities appointed to inquire into the matter, but he had every reason to believe that in a short time a very satisfactory settlement would be arrived at. TREATY WITH AUSTRIA. Mr. TORRENS asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether it was true that the negotiations for a commericial treaty with Austria had failed ? and whether ho was prepared to lay upon the table of the house the correspondence on the subject? Lord STANLEY said there were no negotiations going on for the arranging a commercial treaty between Great Britain and Austria; that was settled in 180. The ne gotiations that were going on related to a tariff of duties. PARKS' REGULATION BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. On the CHAIRMAN putting the question that the preamble be postponed, Mr. I'. A. TAYLOR moved that the chairman report progress. Ho contended that the bill was ono calculated to contract the right of public meeting, which was one of the greatest privileges the people possessed. The Go vernment, in pressing forward the bill, were doing that which could not but revive and keep alive a feeling of bitterness, which it was most important should not exist. (Hear.) He hoped the Government were not acting with any regard to the declaration of the noble lord the member for Haddington, who, it was stated, had told the Government that he and his volunteers would on cause arising soon clear the parks on any occasion when a political meeting was held in opposition to the wishes of the Government. The noble lord he felt reckoned too hastily with respect to the volun teers, and he felt quite sure the first shot that was fired by a volunteer at a political meeting would be the signal for the melting away of the whole movement. The bill was one that contracted the rights of the people, and he for one could not see why a large body of her Ma jesty's subjects should be debarred meeting in places con venient fur discussing their grievances. It was an attempt to preserve the parks exclusively for the use of the upper tea thousand, and therefore he hoped the houso would support him in the motion he had made. Lord }MOHO said with respect to what was said of him personally he should not trouble the house to reply to it, as he was quite content to rest his character on the opinions he had spoken. When, however, the volunteer force was coupled with his name he thought it right to stand up in his place in Parliament and deny in the most emphatic manner possible that this statement, which he believed had first appeared in an anonymous letter in one of the penny papers, was a most unblushing' falsehood. He had never said that, acting in the interests of the Voluutoerforce, he should give his support to the Govern ment in their endeavour to pass this bill. (Hear, hear.) He had done precisely the contrary: he had urged on the Government that the employment of the Volunteer force on such occasions was most undesirable ; and, moreover, ho had pressed the same thing at the War-offiee, and to any statements in opposition to that ho gave a clear, dis tinct, and direct denial. (Hear, hear.) He thought it his duty to support the Government in their en d eavo urs to carry this bill, b ecau se they were doing a wise and commendable act, and when it was stated that the bill was one for the purpose of curtailing the rights of public meeting, he was sure that those persons who were looked up to by a large number of the industrious classes knew when they made such a statement that it was not consistent with the fact. (Hear, hear.) The bill was not intended to infringe the rights of public meeting, and the statement that it was so was a statement at variance with the truth. The Government in pressing forward the measure were merely doing their duty and acting on behalf of the whole of the people, and that in preserving the parks for the recreation of the people, they were only doing that which such public benefactors as Sir F. Crossley and Mr. Bass did, who in giving parks to be public, laid it down that they were to be preserved solely for the pleasure and recreation of the public, and that public meetings were not to be hold therein. He believed the actions of the Reform League were in accordance with the feelings of the great mass of the industrious classes • and he did not believe they ima gined that the Parliament which had given them openhanded a large measure of Reform were bent upon nibbling away their rights with respect to the government of the public parks. (Hear, hear.) Mr. NEATE felt that the noble lord who had just sat down had spoken in accordance with the feelings of the great majority of the working classes. He thought the Government would fail in its dignity if it did not go on with the bill, and the house would be wanting in respect if it did not support them. That the Government had the right to refuse admission to the parties who demanded it on the occasion which had given rise to this bill was undoubted, and many persons who ought to have known better actually encouraged the people in the opinion that such a right did not exist. He hoped the house would support the Government in their endea vours to pass the present bill. Mr. WHALLEY supported the motion for reporting progress. Mr. OTWAY, though he did not oppose the b ill, con sidered its discussion at the present time singularly ill timed. He thought it most desirable that the people should have a large open space to meet in, and if they were shut out of Hyde Park he should like to know where they were to go. He had on the last occasion v i s it e d Hyde Park where a meetin g was held, and e could assure the House that not the slightest i was saidnconveni ence was occasioned thereby. (Hear, hea h r.) It that the proper place for such a mooting was the primr e o e s t e Hill, but if a nuisance was occasioned to .oin)roctehs9.sioninhawbit3: ) Ile thought should that tbep nuisance eople n b t e arc ants at Camden Town. (Hear, inflicted on NSvhich the Reform brought forward in the same session in it very unfortunate that such a measubreearimald have been ' ogress. should vote for the motion to report prtoginec.eseity to Bill passed. passed. If the motion was pressed.to a division he Mr. HARDY said it was an a bsol e u bill was pressed forward. do so it was that the present stiblo right to Royal serve order in the parks, and that th G o rrlll3loll . t might The Crown had an the Crown was now giving right than the fact the irk to the public in order that parks, nad nothing cotuinitrsttow more clearly the over a portion of the pa Hear, hear.) The House Park-lane m i g ht be improved: of Commons was never Col3sulted on the occasion, and ( could h therefore he conte nded that the right of the had the righ t not existed such a step con not -ave t a ken place, t l Crown in the Ro y al Parks was paramount, and no one h a d ever ventu red to question that right. It was said that the present time was inappropriate, but that lie could not admit, and it had been also would be no more meetings proposed sa id there to be held in Hyde-park. (Hoar, hoar.) The information h e had received polu ted in quite an opposite direction ; therefore it became of the highest importance that the Government should have the power the bill would give them. There was no attempt to put down public meetings in the bill, it only laid down certain places where political meetings should not be held • and, that being the case, coupled with the fact that the was necessary for the future government of the Royal p rks, ho asked the house to proceed with the bill in committee. Mr. 31'LAREN thought the bill peculiarly inexpedient and ill timed. There had been many largo meetings held in the Queen's-park in Scotland, and not the slightest in terference took place with it on the part of the authorities. Such an arrangement brought about tho best possible effect, and if the same course of procedure was observed in England, he had no doubt the best results would follow. As Hyde-park contained over five hundred acres, he thought it would be a very good arrangement if 20 acres iu a certain part of it were marked out by the erection of posts, not enclosed in any way, as the space within which public meetings might be held, the whole question would be settled. lie hoped some such arrange - meta as that would be carried out, and then all necessity for the present bill would disappear. Mr. TORRENS supported the motion, and said it was a farce to tell the people to go to Primrose -hill to hold their meetings. Ho denied that the tendency of great public meetings was to end in disturbance and confusion. Mr. MILL supported the motion for reporting progress. He contended that Hyde Park was the only place in which largo meetings of the people could be con veniently held, and as the working classes could not without incurring a very large outlay secure tel building within which their meetings might be 1(5 106 9 60 03 06 34 35 9 10i , 114 110 i 1 1P 6.5 67 116 118 56 67 45 47 CM 67; 9 19 _ 148 152 3 4, 36 4j 661, 7 9 COLONIAL GOYERNSIENT SECURITIES.

HAVOC OF A RAT.—One night last week a rat made its appearance in an aviary of Mr. Thomas Phillips, of March, in which were kept about 30 fine canaries, and before its appetite was satisfied it had killed (and partly eaten) about 24. The thief was captured on the following day, and was duly executed without further ceremony.— Cambridge Independent. BOW-STREET. FATAL ENCOUNTBIL—WiIIiam Mahoney was charged with causing the death of Edward Evans. William Williams stated that ho was in a publichouse in Ilerbert's-passage with the prisoner, Evans being there also. Evans had been drinking at different publichouses during the whole of the day, and was therefore in a state of intoxication. A short time before the quarrel com menced the deceased was lying asleep on the bench near the bar. On Mahoney waking him up he said, "Why, Ted, I thought you was dead." Ile then ordered some beer, and having paid for it offered it to Evans to drink. Ile had no sooner done so than ho seemed to take a sudden dislike to Mahoney, and after some violent abuse, he (Evans) called Mahoney a - monkey, and said he would fight ten such as he. Mahoney treated the matter with the utmost indifference until Evans began pushing him about, and finally bonneted him. Mahoney told him not to destroy his hat, but Evans continued to act in such a vicious manner, and to provoke Mahoney so much, that at last they went to the Thatneslini bankment with the intention of fighting it out, Mahoney all the time saying be did not want to fight. Evans would insist on fighting, and, taking up a position, he attempted to strike Mahoney, but ho rather warded off the intended blows than to return thorn. Evans, finding he could not reach Mahoney's face then made a run at his legs, and succeeded in throwing bins down. On attempting to repeat it a se cond time, Mahoney struck out at Evans, knocked hint clown, and then went away, leaving him lying on the embankment. A number of the bystanders went up, and, on raising the man, found him, to all appearances, so helplessly drunk as to be quite incapable of walking. The police then arrived, when a stretcher was sent for, and ho was conveyed to the station house, where it was discovered ho was dead. Mr. Flowers, on hearing the evidence, remanded the defendant until Monday next, in order that the Coroner might hold the inquiry into all the circumstances connected with the case. The prisoner was liberated on his own recoguisances. UNDER TIIE BED.—Robert Spencer, of Compton-street, Soho, watchmaker, was charged with being found in a bedroom at the residence of Mr. Johnston, the proprietor of the Morning Herald and Standard newspapers, 31, Montague-street, Russell-square, supposed for an unlaw ful purpose. Mr. Abrams, defended. It appeared that between 12 and 1 o'clock this morning Mr. and Mrs. Johnston, having been out for the evening, returned somewhat unexpectedly, and discovered that there was a strange noise in the house. The bedroom of one of the servants was found locked, and it was with some difficulty that Mr. Johnston got the door open. The prisoner was found undressed, and concealed under the bed, upon which his clothes had been placed. The prisoner stated that he had come to visit - ono of the servants, who asked him to stay, as the master and the mistress were out for the evening, and who were not expected home until late. They came, however, sooner than she antici pated, so she told him to conceal himself in her bedroom. Mr. Abrams said there was no doubt that the young man had no right on the premises, but he was a very re spectable tradesman, and had not been in the house for any unlawful purpose in the meaning of the Act, but simply to visit the servant. Mr. Flowers said that was often the way with servants, that they no sooner got into a good place than they did something wrong or foolish to get themselves out again. Probably the excuse was true, as far es it went ; but if servants began by letting men into their masters' houses to visit them, it was natural to apprehend that they might end by admitting them for other purposes. At all events he should adjourn the case to ascertain the truth of the statement as to the defendant's respectability. Subsequently the prisoner's brother attended, and con sented to become bail for his good behaviour. Mr. Flowers (to the prisoner)—Then I will take your own recognisance for £4O, and your brother's for £2O, for your future good behaviour. At the same time what you have done is very serious. Many robberies are committed in that way, though I don't say that you had any such purpose. The girl, of course, will lose her situation. MARLBOROUGH STREET. CHARGES of WIFE - BEATING.—Robert Coleman, a young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting his wife Emma, and also with assaulting Henry Dawson, 301 A, and damaging his hat. The complainant, a respectable-looking young woman working at Messrs. Crosse and Blackwell's, stated that the prisoner was her husband, and having been out of work some time she had to work to keep him. On Saturday last' on going home, the prisoner, who had undertaken to clean up the place, told her to move the child or he would knock her down, and on hor expostulating with him, ho com menced striking her on the back of the head and arms, had her eye blackened, and she was covered with bruises. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the complainant said her husband was a smith's labourer. _ _ . Police-constable Henry Dawson, 301 A, said that on tolling that he had a warrant to apprehend him, and the charge against him, he said " I am-- if 1 will go without fighting for it," and s 4 to striking and kicking him; and on another constable coining to his assistance the prisoner struck and kicked him also. lie closed with the prisoner, and fell with him and damaged a hat of the value of 15s. In reply to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the witness said the prisoner was quite sober. Police constable 731 A proved being assaulted by the prisoner. The prisoner said if ho struck his wife it was by accident. As for assaulting the police that was not true; the officers assaulted him, and one of them threatened him with a good hiding. Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered tho prisoner to find a bail in £lO to keep the peaco towards his wife, and fined him 20s. or 14 days for each of the assaults on the police. T lIAMES. ASSAULTS ON TILE POLICE. - John Polley, a seaman, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with being drunk and disorderly in Whitechapel last night. Police constable 177 II said the prisoner was making a disturbance, and when ho interfered and told him to go home he stuck him and knocked him down. Mr. Paget said the prisoner was only charged on the police sheet with being drunk and disorderly. The policeman admitted be said nothing about the as sault at the station-house last night. Mr. Paget said it was the duty of every constable to state the whole charge at the station-house, and not keep anything back. It would be productive of great inconve nience if one charge was mentioned at the station-house and another before the magistrate at the police-court. lie was in the practice of infLeting severe penalties on all persons assaulting the police officers, who had very difficult and dangerous duties to perform. If the charge of assault had been stated at the station-house and entered on the police-sheet he would have gone into it, and unless the prisoner had a good defence would have sent him to prison. Under the circumstances he should not enter into the charge of assault. He discharged the prisoner. WESTMINSTER. VIOLENT ASSAULTS UPON A FATHER AND MOTHER. — Patrick Carey and Thomas Carey, the latter of whom has been convicted for assaults on the police, were charged with assaulting Bridget and William Carey their father and mother. Bridget Carey, whose face was strapped up and covered with contusions, said —Last evening her two sons came home when she was out, and sent her daughter to say that Patrick had left a h a lf-sovereign in his coat pocket, and it was gone. She went home and found both of them in doms, and Patrick said if his half-sovereign was not found held, it was an injustice to shut them out of it. ffa di not mean to say that all sorts of meetings should be held in the parks, but where a great constitutional question was involved it was but fair that a proper place should be allowed the great mass of the people to express their opinions. He thought that instead of the end of a session of unusually long duration, the commencement of the next, when a much large' number of members would be present, hhouli be the time when such a bill as that now under discussion should be brought forward. (Hear, hoar. Mr. LABOUCHERE suggested the advisability of with drawing the bill, at least for the present session. Mr. FAWCETT also appealed to the Government to postpone the consideration of the bill until a future session, the effect of which would be that some measure of greater importance would benefit by such an arrangement. {LEFT SITTING.] SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.
