MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DESPMATE ASSAULT ON A SISTER F Y A 131ELOPIER..— A YOUNG RUFFIAN.—Henry Clements, a ruffianly young fellow, was charged with assaulting *his sister, Harriet Clements, with . a poker. • It appears the complainant was having a few words with her mother about a pair of boots, when the prisoner, jump ing out of the bed And ; seizing a poker, said, " I'll boots you," and struck her several blows on the head with. it, rendering her insensible, and causing a great loss of blood, at the same time saying he would " corpse her." The mother confirmed her daughter's statement; and said that when she went to her daughter's assistance the blood spirted over her from her daughter's head.- She was in danger of her life. 131 9991 1001 .99k In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the mother said the prisoner was a music printer by trade, and could earn plenty of money, but his conduct was very bad. He did,his utmost to break up their home, and had assaulted at different times every one of the family in the most violent manner. The prisoner, whose conduct had been very disgraceful while in the dock, here• entered into a long tirade of abuse against his mother, ending by cursing her in the most vehe ment manner. Mr. Tyrwhitt animadverted in severe terms on the pri soner's conduct, and, committed him for four months, with hard labour, ordering him to find two sureties at the end of that time for six months. 81 111 1 92 1 18} Prisoner--That's as good as ten months. THAMES. A MARINE SVSINDLER,—WiIIiam. Walier 'Wallace ) a seaman, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with obtaining a cap, value 205., under false and fraudulent pre tences, from Messrs. Christie and Hamilton, extensive out fitters and clothiers, of No. 3, Grosvenor-place, Commercial road, Stepney. IVIr. Charles Young, soliciter, stated that the prisoner called upon Mr. Christie in his shop, on the 13th of last month, and stated that he was second officer ofs the ship William Stewart, which had arrived in the port of London that very day, and that he wanted a suit of the best black clothes and other things. Mr. Christie measured the pri soner, and while doing • so his customer said that the ship belonged to Messrs. T. and W.'Smith, of the City, that he was to be paid off on the follewing day, and that he had £64 to receive as wages. The prisoner also selected other things to the amount in all of £9, and said he was very anxious that the said clothes should be made by the end of the week, as he was going up to the Board of Ex aminers to be passed as chief officer. The prisoner then put on his head a very excellent gold laced cap, and round his waist a belt,' and selected another smart cap with Messrs. Smith's flag upon it. After the prisoner had left the shop, Messrs. Christie and Hamilton made inquiries and ascertained that the prisoner never belonged to 'the William Stewart, and that the ship sailed on the. Very day the prisoner represented she had arrived in the port of Lon don. The clothes were, of course, not made, the case was put into the hands of the police, and the pri soner was apprehended last night in Stepney fair, which the Magistrates was asked to suppress, and which had in this one instance done some, good. Air. Christie would state that he trusted the prisoner with the cap and belt on the faith of his representation that he came home in the William Stewart as second officer and had £64 tO receive. Mr. Christie was examined at length, and confirmed the statement of his solicitor. The prisoner give his address No. 13, Bonner-street, Commercial-road, and ordered the clothes to be sent there. Abraham Casper, messenger at Dunbar's shipping-office, Limehouse, said no ship named the William Stewart had been paid off there in the month 'of March. He knew nothing of the ship. 19i ISi 7 1 i Mr. Young—There are two other cases against the pri soner. A lodging-house keeper—He has done me out of board lodging, and money. Mr. Woolrych remanded the prisoner for a week. BRITISH' MINES. Alfred Consols (Philack) 2.7.4 British Iron_ l6 Clifford nil Deviin G:Cons.

The cape papers publish the following summary of the researches of Mr. Baldwin, who, in the esti mation of the colonists, rivals Dr. Livingstone in activity and enterprisO:— The'arrival of Mr. Baldwin, the indefatigable traveller and hunter from Zambezi en route to Natal, places much interesting information within our reach. We will premise by stating that Mr. Baldwin has the.honour of being the first white man who has _penetrated to the Zambezi from this coot; and is' the second white luau who ever saw the celebrated Victoria Falls -Dr. Livingstone discovered five years ago. Mr. Baldwin, after a most eventful and suc cessful hunt as far as Mozilikatze's country, left his waggons on account of the fly, and his people having refused to accompany him, he gallantly atarted, unaccompanied, on foot, with that steadfast friend—his gun, and a pocket compass ; he struck for the Victoria Falls ; he had no guide but a map, and Dr. Livingsfone , s description. After much distress, owing to the scarcity of . water and ignorance of the country, interruption from wild animals, &c., he, to his own groat astonishment, hit the river not three miles , above the Falls. He was obliged fo remain by the river two days before any Kaffirs would come over in their canoes. The river Was in this place at least 4,000 yards wide with an immense number of islands, some of large extent. .At length a canoe crossed, and as;Mr. Baldwin had shot a rhinoceros, he regaled the Hairs and sent some meat to the chief. The next day other boats came to bring, im over; it had been ft sultry day, and,Mr. Baldwin could not resist the tempting appearance of ,the col clear water, and with the impulse plunged in : he got out again, fortunately without accident. He was not aware that the 'river was swarming with alligators, and the natives considered it dais gerous even to put their hand into, the water. A few days after Mr. Baldwin saw a Kat& in the act of taking water out of the river, when , one of these monsters sprung on him, swam about 500 yards with the poor fellow, and then sank `to devonr him. Mr. Baldwin was introduced to the petty captain of the Bitokai, who a s ked hiin who he was? Answer: An Englishman. How did youfmd your way here ? Showed them the compass. This was considered a poor answer, so Mr. Baldwin explained to them aa well as he could that Livingstone told him to come. At the name of Livingstone they showed much interest ; where he had seen him ? He had never seen him. Then how could Livingstone tell hiin to come if he never saw hire ? 'etc.; Ste., till our friend got quite bewildered. As soon as possible Mr. Baldwin. was off:to the far-famed Palle, the roar of which was fearful even at three miles distance. Mr. Baldwin was loft in amazement at these wonderful works of nature, and the de scription given of them by Livingstone is tame and under drawn, for the reason that words cannot describe the wild and fearful grandeur of the seem. On his return to the Kaffir village he was 'summarily taken prisoner, and the most unpleasant part of the busi ness was, he had no idea for what offence. He describes this part of his adventures as ; pausing him a great deal of 'uneasiness ; with the river before him, deprived of his gun, his enthnsiasin waned, but not his pluck. He remained in this positiPn several days, 'when Most opportunely and 'unexpectedly, Dr. Livingstone arrived, accompanied by his brother Charles and Dr. Kirk, with a retinue of 70 Makololos, all armed with double-barrelled guts. The doctor was on his way from Tete to Linyant, 76 days . on foot from Tete. The only animals they had with them were two donkeys, the use of which Dr. Kirk and Mr. C. Livingatone were often glad to avail themselves of, but Dr. Livingstone had footed it the whole distance. He was in good health and excellent mettle. The Livingstone party were not a little astonished at finding Mr. Baldwin there.. A favour that Mr. Baldwin asked, was Dr. Livingstone's good services to get him out of quandary, when the explanations were singularly amusing. The Kaffirs said, this man comes here in a most wonderful manner, and the first thing he does is to jump into the river, which is like death. Next he goes to the Falls and attempts to go where a monkey would not dare venture. We were sure he would kill himself, and then some one would not believe he killed himself, but would say we killed him. So we took care of him, as he was seeking his death. The Doctor told Mr. Baldwin that he had penetrated to lat. 14.1 S.'; and discovered Lake Shirwe, ninety miles long, and another lake which, from description, must be more than three hun dred miles long.

LAING. . 4 The reply of the Great Western of Canada Com pany to the recent report of the committee of in- vestigation' will be read with satisfaction not only as regards the conduct of the directors, but also with reference to the accusations made against Mr. Laing. Those accusations have already been eagerly seized by foreign journals, and such was the vague and angry manner in whieh they'veere made, that a leading New York paper has held them up as a complete set-off against the latest and most noto rious example of financial delinquency in the United States. " The Finance Minister to India," it is observed, " is accused of pocketing one million ster ling by dishonest means. Mires and Laing in whole sale swindling are the counterparts of Mr.'Flevd." The gentlemen who by attacking an English public servant in a spirit that could be made thus - to subserve hostile views of the national character should be pre pared to support their charges to the very letter. Yet it has always been pointed out that their re port did not contain a single tangible point against Mr. Laing that would, in the state in which it' was' presented, be received with consideration by any body of persons or judicial Court accustomed to an impartial examination of evidence; and the Direc tors of the company now furnish materials to con firm the opinion thus expressed.. Although the present Directors were not in office at the distant period of the events which' have been dragged up with regard to Mr. Laing, they have the means of testing the allegations in question, and very properly feel it their duty to do so, as he is no longer in Europe to defend himself. An explanation is given ofeach charge, and in some instances the answer to matters on which the indignation of flee committee Was most excessive is so simple and complete as to be almost ludicrous, if the sense of the ludicrous were not overpowered by the stronger feeling which the occasion merits. As regards the charges against the directors, so far as can be estimated from an ordinary perusal, the answer on, all main points are equally fatal to the judgnient, *and it must also be 'observed the scrupulousnek of the committee. It is to be assumed. that they have not intended, in .any instance, to deviate from truth, but the number of cases in which direct proof is furnished of the hastiness of their state ments appears to be too great to adi t of muchi . reliance being placed upon their inferencei 'inge neral. Among other extraordinary thi ngs . cited by the directors is the circumstance that- a certain loan to the Detroit and Milwaukie Railway, which is a subject of especially severe remarks by the committee, was declared at the time by Mr. Robt. Kaye, of Glasgow, one of the members of the com mittee, to be absolutely " imperative." Mr. Kaye had just travelled over the line, and therefore had had better opportunities even than the'.London directors for estimating the requirements of.the case. Under date of the 26th of September, 18'47, he wrote from New York, 'urging the trans action, and saying, "I feel a confidence in this line grettter than I dare express to you." He will, consequently, at the meeting to be held on the lith inst., find it a duty to bring his past con-. victions into harmony with his present state-. ments. Meantime, not only the reply of the directors, but the charges of the committee should be carefully read by te public in general. The affair is one political and national no less than of private interest, and it is dangerous to attempt to summarise statements bearing on the conduct of a body like this committee of investigation, who have shown themselves ready to fling against all who differ from them, charges of dishonesty and of wilful " garbling," which they hesitate to substan tiate when invited. Fortunately the interval is short to the dRy when all parties will have the opportunity of full discussion and justification. The shareholders will attend with the facts before them, and can do what is necessary if the committee have been unintentionally misrepresented. The only caution to be suggested is that they should insist upon every charge being put in a concise and specific form, and dismiss as utterly without value all intimations of disclosures which the committee intend fo make at some future period. It is intoler able that the character of a large nuMber of indivi duals should be held up -to odium by a practice like that adopted in the report of the Committee, of stating that proofs of delinquency erist, which for the sake of ulterior proceedings, it is not thought proper promptly to produce.—limes' city Article. TILE EASTER BANQUET AT TER MANSION HOUSE. • Yesterday evening, according to ancient custom, the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress entertained a numerous party at dinner at the Mansion-house. There were about 253 guests, and tbe entertainment was of the most sumptuous character., Mr. CHARLES DICKENS, in ,proposing the health of The Lady Mayoress," observed that, having been honoured with the permission of their host to propose a toast, he would venture to remark that since he had been seated at the table he had found it pleasant to consider (referring as men naturally did to their own pursuits), how ill English literature could afford to part with its Lord Mayors of London. The literature of Eng lish history losing its lord mayors would lose some of its most noted characters among the sturdy, brave, adventurous, and high-minded. of its good old citizens east of Temple-bar. The literature of English romance would lose its wealthiest London merchant, its most beautiful merchant's daughter, its crossest cook, its best known foreign adventure, the most profitable investment on record, and its most wonderful cat. (Laughter.) In like manner English biography losing its lord mayors would lose some of the most notable examples of the reward of perseverance and integrity, and the nobility of self-made men. (Hear.) Even the great English satirist, of 'whom it was well said his pictures required to be read like works, could no more have dispensed with his lord mayor than any of the rest, for without him he could not have committed his idle appren tice, under circumstances of very touching and powerful contrast, nor could he have rewarded his industrious one by presenting him at court at the height of his grandeur and fame. In his mind — and he was sure in the minds of all who heard him —the Lord Mayor of . London never was an d cou ld not be complete without a Lady Mayoress--(hear, hear)--and the Lady Mayoress was the theme of the very few words which he had to add. Within the walls of the Mansion-house the English custom of separating the lords of the creation from the ladies was happily not known ; and he believed that if the sterner sex. were polled on the ques tion, they would arrive at the unanimous conclusion that they were n ever so wear i some to themselves or uninteresting to one another as when they were conventionally supposed to be left quite at their ease. (Laughter.) In venturing to propose the health of the Lady Mayoress, if he were to depart from state and ceremony, and to say that he had the privilege of long and intimate personal friend ship with her when widely diffusing her influence in another capital, it would be merely for the purpose of saying that as the liberality and princely hospitality of the chief magistrate of London could find no fitter female representative in the Mansion house, so the most wholesome influence of an Eng lish lady could find no better representative in the capital to which he referred. IVELAIVCHOLF ACCIDENT. On the afternoon of Wednesday last a melancholy accident occurred between Gourock Bay and the Roseneath shore, which has resulted in the drowning of two gentlemen. About three o'clock on the afternoon in question, Mr. Main, of the post office at Gourock, and Mr. John M'Laughlan, pawn broker, Abercrombie-street, Glasgow, left Gourock in a small boat for a pleasure sail to the Gareloeh. On their way they intended to land at Roseneath Point and obtain a few mussels for bait. When they left Gourock the sea was quite calm, and there was no wind to cause the slightest uneasiness, and the gentlemen only took with them a small pleasure boat which they could rig with a small lug sail. It would appear that they had succeeded in reaching the Roseneath shore safely, as they were noticed on the beach there. About six o'clock in the evening the gamekeeper's wife at Roseneath heard a cry of distress from the water, but she could observe nothing. The boat not returning to Gourock at night, some anxiety was felt for the safety of those in it, but as it was known that Mr. Main was inti mately acquainted with the captain of the City of Canton, which sailed from the Tail of the Bank on the same (lay, it was thought very probable t hat he and M'Laughlin had gone on board with the view of returning with the tug. On Friday some of Mr. M•Laughlan's relatives arrived at Gourock with the view of spending the day with him, and as no fur ther intelligence had been obtained of the missing boat, inquiries were instantly set on foot. At Greenock it was ascertained that the tug had not only returned without any word of the missing gen tlemen, but also that the boat in which they were had been found bottom up near to the shoal buoy, off Gourock Bay, and that the oars had been Wa s h e d ashore between Gourock and Greenock. Thi s i nto_ _ ligenee realised the worst fears of the anxious rela tives, and left little doubt of the melancholy fate which had befallen Messrs. Main and Mlang Neither of the bodies have yet been reco vere d Main wasabout 52 years of age, while Mr,Ai l i Laugh: lin was only 22.—North British Mail, .73UNGARF. OPINIONS OF:THE' FRENCH PRESS. The late discussion in the Italian Parliament on the Roman question is highly praised by the Liberal journals of Paris for the tone of moderation whi c h characterised the various speakers. The following passages are from the . Patrie " All the deputies who 'spoke on this important quei4ion expressed themselves with a moderation and gtavity wonky of the subject under discussion, but none showed tifere composure, serenity, and confidence than Count Callow. His speech was remarkable not only for the oratorical ability derived from long experience in Parliamentaryide bate, but was especially appropriate, because it represented things as they really are, and admirably expressed the general feeling of the Italians. Compare his calm and dig nified language with that of certain fiery defenders of the Pope's temporal power. In it there is no recrimination, nor bitter expression; no t jlatt em pt a t oratorical effect: the stateman evidently considers the struggle as terminafea, aid he declares, without passion or violence, the cmise quences which, in his opinion, must inevitably result from it." The precise meaning of the order of the day which has been adopted is thus explained How and when will this law be Oxecuted, if, indeed, it ever can be Those are questions which belong to the futero ; for if the Italians were entitled to Proclaim their right, the exercise bethaf right, as Count CaVotir acknow ledged, is snbordinate to 'certain conditions which do not depend on them alone. Italy will never forget what she owes to France; she will not imitate the ingratitude of Austria towards Russia, and as long as France shall oppose her taking possession of Rome, she will not seek to de so bY force. Italy on the oilier hand wishes to see the dignity , and independence of 'the Pope guaranteed, as well as; the' complete liberty of the Church. That she wishes si.cerely and absolutely, and will spare no pains to enligh ;.d reassure consciences by a frank declaration of he 'rine ciples. On the way to Rome, new Italy meets with two obstacles, which, even if she had the power, she woald not overthrow—the French flag and the Cross. One covers the other. Brit, in claiming Rome as her capital; she openly professes, in" , the face of the world and of an Catholics, that France, the ! object of all her sympathies, has not to deAnd against her efforts the Sovereign Pontiff's independence-- the object of all her respect. Such is the meaning of the order of the day adopted by the Italian Parliament!: A pamphlet has just been ,published in Germany by M. Ludvigh, formerly Secretary of the National Assembly of Hungary ; and which contains the text of the laws concern ing the coronation' of the Rings 'of that country. The difficulties raiaed:up against the manner in • • which the Etnperor Fraums-Soseph intends pro ceeding for his coronation as. King of Hungary imparts a certain intereSt to the publication .in question, and the Co/Witotionnfl enumerates in the following terms the enactments which the pam. ph - let • sets forth as applicable to the Emperor's -present situation :---( • " Suceession replaces eletion ; but in the same manner that election alone would-be insufficient, so succession alone does not confer the - royaity: The King who has not had his head girt by . the sacred diadem, has no right either, to the title of Royal Majesty er to that of Apostolic Majesty, and consequently ,cannot exercise the rights inherent iv the Crown. 'The Coronation of the new King may take place during the lifetime Of'bis predecessor, but the latter must himself present to the Diet his natural and legitimate successor. The Diet must be convoked by the King him self for the coronation of his successor. If the Diet is com plete—that is to say, if all the Comitats of Hungary, as well as of Croatis and Transylvania, are there represented, it constitutes itself by the nomination of its presidents and secretaries, and then proceeds to the election of the Palatin and other vacant dignities, and particu larly of the guardians of the sacred crown. Then only it is that the Diet, sitting at Pesth and not at Buda, can enter on the discussion of the conditions of the coronation compact or 'sacred diploma.' Without the diploma there is no coronation, and without the latter no royalty. - What is still more serious is, that the newly - - crowned monarch cannot, during the lifetime of the reign ing King, exercise any royal power. He only obtains by his coronation the royal and apostolic title which mere suc cession does not give him, and he guarantees himself against. the embarrassments of an interregnum or against the con sequences of a fortuitous omission of the coronation. In spite of our respect for the national traditions of States, we allow ourselves to hope that the l llungarians will not think themselves obliged to follow those provisions to the letter. Never, in fact, has there been seen so many legal obstacleS to the accomplishment of an act so legitimate and simlde in itself. In the first place, the Diet has been convoked, not' by the reigning King-, who, in the eyes of the Hungarian law, would be no other than Ferdinand V., uncle of the Emperor Francis Joseph ; secondly, the Comitats of Croatia and of Transylvania have announced their intention of not having themselves represented in the Diet; thirdly, it is convoked at Buda and not at Pesth; and fourthly, there is nothing to indicate that it would be possible to have the new King presented to the Diet by his still living predecessor. It must, therefore, of all necessity, be, either that the Emperor Francis-Joseph must -content himself with being de facto King of Hungary, or that the Hungarians must have'the good sense t o pu t r i ght in accord with fact, by some compromise conformable to the exigences of the situation and the true interests of the country." • The same subject is referred to by the Debate, which expresses its surprise at serious journals or political writers laying stress on the matters of mere form, particularly in the present day, when States pay but little attention to the form, provided they have the substance. Our contemporary says : "We certainly do not belong to those who despise long traditions or the symbols which nations venerate for their antiquity. But who would not wunder to hear the singular revolutionists of the present time talk of the 'sacred diadem' with the same superstitious terror as an Egyptian of the time of Sesostris might have spoken of the divine croco diles ? Who would not be amazed at beholding this astound ing union of veneration for the Phyrgian cap, and of blind faith in the ampulla ? We every day read in certain journfds that a formidable and final struggle is about to ensue be tween the right of past times and that of the modern day, between the principle of legitimacy and that of Rational sovereignty. Theyare mistaken ; nations now viewith their Governments in ardour for legitimacy ; from Schleswig to the Danube nations and Governments are striving which can cite the most ancient precedents'; and there aro States which have the advantage of, their Governments in that respect. If Ring Victor Emmanuel reads the journals which speak of the neceAsities existing for the coronation in Hungary, he will hardly think himself Sovereign of Lombardy, for he has no other claim to that title than pos session and 'a treaty, whereas the more fortunate Francis Joseph has kept in his baggage the ' sacred diadem,' the in vincible talisman—the Iron Crown." The Ultramontane journals having found great faUlt with the translation of the Pope's allocution, sent round from the office of M. Haves, the Siecle admits that there were many inaccuracies in it, but affirms that such slight blots do not in any way affect the general character of the document. "What," it asks, "do such details really signify? Is not the allocution, taken altogether, a violent requisitory against contemporary civilisation, considered as false and detestable? The 12ni de la Religion, which is in an insulting vein, pretends that this document makes impiety raise a savage roar,' and accuses several of the journals of being guilty of an odious falsification of the text, by affirming that the Pope complains of seeing unbelievers receive public appointments. Does not the text, however, permit that interpretation ? Our readers can easily understand that errors must slip into the correspondence of Havas's agency, which is hastily written and transmitted ; but what was really odious,' to use the language of the Aini de la Religion, is to repre sent journals which copy, under all reserve, a translation of a document of which they do not possess the original, as intentionally guilty of falsification and forgery." SCIENTIFIC JOTTINGS. —M. Bzaiger recom mends chemists to use gun-cotton for filtering concentrated acids and liquids which are subject to decomposition by other organic substances. Gun-cotton, when properly prepared, can only be decomposed by acetic ether. M. Bcettiger employs it successfully in filtering concentrated nitric acid, white smoking sulphuric acid, chronic acid, the permanganate of potash, aqua regia, and concentrated solu tions of potash. M._ Leclaire proposes a new method for preparing drying linseed oil. It consists in shak ing up the oil, when boiling, with the peroxide of manga nese in powder. When the peroxide has thus been chemi cally combined with the oil, the latter becomes eminently oxydizable—that is, siccative. It acquires colour by being exposed to the air, and begins to thicken ; by a longer ex posure it loses colour, and becomes still thicker, and at length solid. It may be advantageously used for coating various articles, which are generally protected by india rubber varni2,ll. The Hal tica, or turnip .flea, a well-known cal'i'tennls insect, is ono of t he most destructive enemies of cabbages, cauliflowers, turnips, cc. M. Paul Thenard 1 recommends a mixture of saw-dust and gas-tar, in the I.pro portion o f 4 per cent of the latter.
