BREAKING A MAN'S LEG.--Joseph Newby, a tin plate worker, in the employ of Mr. Wilson, bath manufacturer, of WarJour-street, Soho, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with violently assaulting and breaking the leg of an elderly man in the same employ, named John Halliday. John Dennis, a young man, said that on the previous afternoon the prisoner and Halliday were having some words in front of the bar at the ship public-house, Wardour-street. The prisoner struck Halliday, then a fight ensued.- He (witness) parted them, and directly after the prisoner seized Halliday and threw him, and then threw himself on the top of Halliday. On assistance going to Halliday it was found that his head was badly cut by com ing in contact with a cask, and that one of his legs was broken. Subsequently he (witness) gave the prisoner in charge, and Halliday was conveyed to the Middlesex Hospital, where he still remained. The prisoner asked the witness whether Halliday did not strike him first. Dennis said the prisoner struck the first blow. A certificate from the Middlesei Hospital, signed by Mr. Pyle, the house surgeon, was handed to Mr. Tyrwhitt de scribing the injuries Halliday had received, and stating that he would be unable to attend for some time. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should remand the prisoner for a woek, and he had no doubt ho would have to do so from week to week. The prisoner asked that bail might be taken. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should certainly not take bail, and the prisoner was remanded. A PICKPOCKET AT TILE GALLERY OP ILLUSTRATION. — Alfred Edwards, a young man, was charged by Edwin Colt rupe, of the detective police, with attempting to pick pockets at the Gallery of Illustration. The prisoner cross-examined the officer in a style which showed that he was far from unacquainted with the prac tices of a police court.

We all remember how in " Bleak House" Mr. Chadband undertook to " improve the subject"— the subject in question being the moral, social, and educational deficiencies of the poor boy Joe. We know too how very little the process did towards supplying these deficiencies, whatever sustenance it may have afforded to the self-righteousness and self-complacency of Mr. Chadband and his auditory. There are plenty of Chadbands among us, and the first idea—and very often the last too—which they connect •aith the misfortunes of their neighbours is that of " improving the occasion'' to their own glo rification or the indulgence of their own envy, hatred, and uncharitableness, as the opportunity may seem most favourable. One could hardly have imagined that this weak ness of poor human nature should not have found an exception for itself in the presence of that appalling horror which has made Santiago a city of such sor row as history hardly records. The story of two thou sand women and girls gathered together for the pur pose of worshipping God, and suddenly exposed to a rain of fire from the roof of the church—rush ing in their terror and agony towards the doors, and there falling over each other in a screaming, struggling pile of humanity, trampled and choked and burned to death, and dragged from that con fused mass of human ruin blackened and disfigured corpses—all this brings before us a picture of horrors which might have been thought capable of causing us, for one moment at least, to sink our religious animosities in one common grief and sympathy. Yet no sooner were the details of the fearful dis • aster made known than most of the organs of public opinion in this Protestant country eagerly jumped at the opportunity of " improving the occasion" for an anti-Popish demonstration, and made it their special business to connect the accident as much as possible with the rites and usages of the Church of Rome. Misfortunes of the same kind have been subjected before now to like comments. When a certain tower in Siloam fell there were people who sought to " improve the occasion" in the sense of a moral Pharisaisna, and we know how they were re buked. We wish that the rebuke might have some inluence on those who are so pertinacious in im proving the S ant i ago di sas ter under the prompting s of religious Pharisaiem. This is the more to be desired, beca use suc h a n outbreak of heartless bigotry is calculated to draw away attention from the real lessons taught by the accident, and from the care which ought to be taken to provide against similar occurrences. We are not indeed likely to have a holocaust of church-goers in this country in consequence of that over-dressed religion which finds acceptance in Chili. But we have our crowded gatherings here too, and a fire, or the alarm of one, might at any time cause a fearful destruction of human life at one of our theatres or other similar assemblies. We do not make sufficient arrangements for the sudden exit of a multitude, an d we have not equalled the attention given to the mat ter in other countries—possibly from the high price paid for space in Londcn as compared with the con tinental cities. We recollect the frightful peril in curred by a large crowd when Covent Garden Theatre was burned down ; we have heard too of an alarm at Mr. Spurgeon's Tabernacle. We can quite imagine that if either of these accidents had come near its results to the horrible sacrifice at San tiago, there would not have been wanting people to " improve the occasion" after the same fashion. In reference to the same appalling casualty, the following sensible, and in many respects very re markable, letter, signed " Father Thomas," appears in the Weekly Register of Saturday : The terrible calamity that has withered the hearts of millions must never be forgotten—and will not, we heartily hope, be repeated any more by unwise, unbefitting, and outrageous muslin draperies and excessive illuminations. We priests leave too much to sacristans and volunteer decorators, and through an over sensitive ness of giving pain to zealous and well meaning per sons, we suffer our chapels and churches to be turned into drawing rooms or dancing halls, so far as deco ration goes. Blue, red, or white curtains, glass chandeliers, various coloured tinsel papers, lights and lamps everywhere in blazing immoderation. Let there be lamps and wax lights in tasteful arrangement, but no muslins, red, white, and blue, nor anything in exaggeration and unmeaning pro fusion. Any way, for heaven's sake, let all possibi lity of conflagration be removed. What an unfair use has been made by our enemies of this accident—an accident it was, and nothing more and nothing less. Our hearts are riven by this most sad and sorrowful accident, and there is not that man, be he priest or not priest, who would not have braved the flames to drag any one of these poor sufferers from that dreadful fire even at the risk of his own life. No doubt on that most frightful even ing every one was in a state of bewilderment. We can now well see what might have been done, but if we had been in that frightful scene ourselves ! The whole was all over in five and twenty minutes —there was no time to think, no time to act. If any of our public theatres were to take fire, what must be the consequence ? Thousands of people, all rushing wildly to make for the narrow doorways and staircases, trampling over each other, and mak ing their destruction doubly sure. Would the public press attribute such a catas trophe to the judgment of heaven ? Nothing of the kind. Then why turn on us and say that this conflagration was no accident but a manifest visita tion of God's indignation ? Indignation at what ? Those worshippers of God and Christ His Son were collected together for divine worship—not for the worship of the blessed Virgin, as they understand the term, but all congregated to worship their God and honour His most blessed mother Mary. They sought her prayers—that she would pray for them and with them to her and their Lord; this was all they asked, and. whatever they did and said, this is all they asked and this was all they meant. Why, then, denounce them as idolators and worthy of God's manifest indignation ? God's day will come when these hard-mouthed blasphemers shall be called upon to justify them selves. In the meanwhile we feel assured that most, if not all, that died in the Church of God that even ing, assembled as they were to praise God and be seech His mercy, are now with the blessed in the everlasting world. The Almighty has taken them away from the temptation and sorrows of this wicked world, and, as was the case with the holy innocents—whilst lamentation is on earth there is joy among the angels. WIFE MURDER A WORCESTER.--A sad case of murder occurred on Sunday afternoon during the hour of divine service, in Worcester. It appears that a man named John Ford, atlas Hobey, 33, a labourer, had bee* living for about 12 years with one Elizabeth Hull, 44, whose birthday happened yesterday, and they resided in a court leading out of St. Clements-street. From what can be gleaned at present it seems that a man named Henry Ben nett went into the house where Ford and Hull lived, and that he sat in the place some time before he saw anyone. After a while Ford came in and asked where " Bess " was. Bennett said he had not seen her, but in a few minutes she came in carrying some cabbages, which she had purchased for another man, a neighbour. Ford had some s'ords with her, and told her she should not fetch things for other people. From words he came to force, and felled her with a blow that laid her senseless, fracturing her skull. An alarm was afterwards raised, and a neighbour fetched in Police-constable Archer. On that officer going into ths house he found Ford and Bennett supporting the woman, who appeared lifeless, and was bleeding profusely from a severe wound in the forehead , which appeared to have been caused by the fire shovel, v, bich was covered with blood. Mr. Palmer, surgeon, was called in, but his assistance was of no avail, as the unfortunate woman was beyond the reach of human aid. Ford was taken into custody, and the house having been visited by Mr. Superintendent Power, was secured. Of course much excitement prevailed in the neigh bourhood all day long, great crowds assembling at times. The prisoner will be brought before the coroner's jury at the inquest, which will probably bo hold to-day.—. Birmin gham Gazette. Tug NEW THEATRE COMPANY.—This morning the cause of Brandon v. Rickards was called on in the Lord Mayor's Court. It arises out of the late attempt of Mr. Boucicault to erect a joint-stock theatre, but as Mr. henry James, the barrister engaged by the defendant, was unable to attend, the case was, by consent Of both parties, directed to stand over till Saturday. THAMES. AGGRAVATED AND DISGRACEFUL ASSAULT ON A LADY.—Abney Hopton, a well-dressed young man, who called himself a clerk in the West India Dock, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with committing a violent assault on Mrs. Ann Hill. The complainant, whose face was much injured, and who had lost a considerable quantity of blood, said she was living at No. 21, East-street, Mile-end-road. Last night, at 8 o'clock, she was in company with two females, near the Horn of Plenty public-house, in the Globe road, Mile-end, waiting for a lady friend residing in Carlton-square, when the prisoner, who was inebriated, came rushing along the pavement and struck her on the shoulder with an umbrella. She told him he had better go home, and not interfere with respectable people. He immediately turned round and struck her a violent blow on the face. She was stunned for a few seconds, and when she recovered, saw the pri soner running away pursued by her friends and a number of boys. The prisoner was stopped and given into custody. She bled copiously from the nose, and had been in con siderable pain ever since. Mr. Paget looked at the complainant's face and saw it was injured. Sarah Smith and Clara Shinting corroborated the evi dence of Mrs. Hill in every particular. The prisoner, in a very abject manner, said he was very sorry for what he had done. He had been in the Old Globe public-house and lost a sovereign there. Mr. Paget—That is no justification for committing an assault upon a woman. This is a very serious offence in deed. Here is a respectable woman very savagely assaulted. You are a clerk in the West India dock. Mr. Master, a dock constable, said the prisoner was an extra labourer in the dock. The prisoner—l do clerk's duty. Mr. Paget—l don't care whether you are a clerk or not. Your conduct is not to be tolerated for an instant. This is a most disgraceful case indeed. You have struck a woman in the public street, and the public must be protected against such outrages as these. I sentence you to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. WESTMINSTER. DARINCir SatEET RORBERY.—A young man, who gave his name George Henry Simpson, was placed at the bar charged with the following daring street robbery : Mrs. Margaret Broomhead, widow, 111, Stanley-street, Pimlico, said that last night she was going along Suther land-street, Pimlico, accompanied by a friend, when the prisoner and two other persons of ruffianly appearance came up and passed them. Immediately after this she bade her friend " good night," and he had hardly turned his back when the men advanced towards her, and the prisoner seizing her muff, which contained her purse with halt a sovereign and some silver in it and a pair of gloves,darted off with it at lull speed. The othec men also took to their heels, but in different directions. Prosecutrix called " Stop thief" and pursued prisoner, who was afterwards brought back and immediately recognised as the person who had robbed her. Prisoner denied that he had taken it, and said that he had a good character in his pocket. Mr. H. Green, of 111, Westmoreland-street, Pimlico, hairdresser, said that he met Mrs. Broomhead, and was bidding her good night, when those men passed. He then left the prosecutrix to go home, and in a minute after heard her cry out, "I am robbed," and he then saw those men running away. He pursued and caught the prisoner. Prisoner said that he had been to a music hall, and hav ing stayed rather late, was running home when he heard a cry of "Stop thief," and directly afterwards found himself taken into custody upon a charge he knew nothing about. George Everret, 76 B, said he was in:Sussex-street when he heard a cry of " Stop thief " in Sutherland-street, and directly after he saw the prisoner running towards him very fast. Witness also ran, and then prisoner stopped and walked coolly up to the constable, who then seized and held him. The witnesses said they were positive the prisoner was the man. He was remanded.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—This Evening. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat upon the woolsack at five o'clock. HER MAJESTY'S ANSWER TO THE ADDRESS. Lord SYDNEY brought upend read her Majesty's answer to the address on the occasion of the assembling of Parlia ment. Her Majesty thanked their lordships for their affectionate expressions with respect to her family, and assured them her most ardent wish was the prosperity of her people. THE DANO GERMAN DIFFICULTY. The Earl of MALMESBURY said he had given notice to the noble earl the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, by private note, of his intention of putting some questions relative to the state of affairs in Denmark. The noble earl having referred to the state of affairs of this nature when he was in office, went on to remark upon the arrange ment which had been entered into some years ago with the Duke of Augustenburg by which he received a sum of money amounting to about £350,000 English on the understanding that he would never interfere with the succession in Danmark. The instalments had been regularly paid, and he had never heard the arrangement called into question. As the arrangement was entered into with the tether of the present Duke of Augustenburg—when he (the son) was 24 years of age he did not see that it could he said that he was not aware of the stipulation. Had he protested or objected, the arrangement could never have been carried out, and he (the noble earl) did not see on whst point of honour the present Duke of Augustenburg could justify the present proceedings that were being carried on On his name. The questions he wished to ask was whether her Majesty's Government had obtained any material guarantee from Austria and Prussia, that as soon as the November Constitution was with drawn they would consent to evacuate Schleswig, and whether the panics to that treaty considered their obliga tions invalidated by the outbreak of the war. Earl RUSSELL said her Majesty's Government had re ceived no such guarantee from either Austria or Prussia, and with reference to the second question he could not consider that the treaty could be in any way abrogated by the outbreak of the war, so far as regards the different Powers. It was quite impossible that the treaty made with France, Great Britain, Russia, and Sweden could be abro gated, as regards those Powers, by war between Austria and Denmark, LEFT SPEAKING. HOUSE OF COMMONS—This Evening, The SPEAKER took the chair shortly before four o'clock. PETITIONS. Some petitions were presented praying for a reduction in the duty on fire insurances, and deprecating the destruction of Kagosima as a blot on the civilisation of the country. HER MAJESTY'S REPLY TO THE ADDRESS. Lord PROBY, Comptroller of the Household, presented her Majesty's most gracious reply to the Address of the House of Commons, expressive of her Majesty's gratitude for tin expression of loyalty to herself and the members of the royal family. INTERFERENCE IN CHINA. Mr, LIDDELL gave notice that he would move a reso lution that, in the opinion of this house, any further inter ference by this country in the civil war now raging in China was unnecessary and impolitic. (Hear, hear.) ELECTION PETITIONS. Mr. HUNT gave notice that he would move for leave to bring in a bill to amend the law relating to election peti tions. FOG SIGNALS. Mr. DAWSON asked the President of the Board of Trade, whether, in consequence of the numerous marine disasters that have taken place at the entrance of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, any plans for the erection of powerful fog signals in the vicinity of Cape Race,Newfoundland, had yet been approved of by the Board of Trade; and whether any expectation may be held out that such precautionary beacons may be in early operation. Mr. M. GIBSON said that the Trinity Corporation had for some time been anxious to establish fog signals at Cape Race, but up to the present time had failed In discovering any invention by which sound could be conveyed from land to vessels at a certain distance at sea that would be avail able. THE RUMOURED DISSATISFACTION AT COPENHAGEN. In reply to Mr. PEACOCIEE, Lord PALMERSTON said he had seen a statement in the papers that great dissatisfaction prevailed in Copen hagen as to the retreat of the Danish troops from Dane • wirke ; and although the Government had no official in formation on the subject, there was no doubt the inhabitants of Copenhagen felt great dissatisfaction in regard to the event in question. " Gentlemen at home at ease" no doubt might feel dissatis fied with the conduct of those who were suddenly called to decide on an emergency. It was not for this country to decide on the propriety of the ground which induced the Danish general to retire from the Danewirke. THE ALEX.ANDRA AND ALABAMA. Mr. PEACOCKE asked the,Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether the Government would lay upon the table of the house copies of their correspondence with the Government of the United States, and more especially that portion of it relating to the case of the Alexandra, and the claim by the United States Government for compensation for the losses inflicted by the Alabama and other Con federate cruisers? Mr. LAYARD said an regarded the Alexandra, as the case of that vessel was under judicial consideration, it would not be advisable to lay any documents relative to the same on the table. With reference to the Alabama, papers had already been laid on the table. SALMON FISHERIES. Mr. DUTTON" asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was his intention to introduce any bill amending the Salmon Fisheries (England) Act of 1861, and giving extended powers :or the preservation of salmon in fresh and tidal waters r Sir G. GREY said the subject was being investigated by a commission. DANISH PAPERS. In reply to Lord R. Czcin, Mr. LA.YARD said that these papers would not be ready for presentation to Parliament before three weeks. (Oh, oh.) SCHLESWIG-HOLS TEIN. Mr. DISRAELI said that he wished for information re lative to the statement of the noble lord (Palmerston) last evening. The noble lord was understood to say that any proposition on the part of Austria and Prussia, under peculiar circumstances, to recede from the Treaty of 1852 was prepoeteroue. The question was not one of morality, but of legality. Lord PALMERSTON said that what he meant to say was that a notion prevailed in Germany, and in certain places in Berlin, that if the invasion of Denmark took place it would relieve Prussia and Austria from the provisions of the Treaty of 1852. Ho meant by what he had said to imply that it was not on the ground of a revocation of the treaty that Austria and Prussia took their stand, and they an nounced that it was their intention to m aintain the integ rity of the Danish monarchy. If the Treaty of 1852 had mere;y been between Austria and Prussia and Denmark it wou ld have been quite a different matter, but ter P ow ers of Europe were parties to that treaty. (Hear, hear.) In reply to Mr. DISRAELI, Lord PALMERSTON said that a despatch which re lated to what was understood to be the intention of the Government in reference to the treaty had been received, but there was no positive guaranty on the part of Prussia and Austria that they would maintain the integrity of Denmark founded on the:avowed object of the invasion with reference to the consti tution: have been accomplished ; but he thought the high characters of these Powers ought to be taken into conside ration. The noble lord referred to the treaty with Turkey in illustration of his views. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Lord PALMERSTON said that he proposed to move the adjournment of the house until two o'clook to-morrow, but as their was no business before the house, he would move that the house should adjourn until Thursday. PRODUCTION OF PAPERS RELATIVE TO DEN MARK. Mr. S. FITZGERALD, on the motion for adjournment complained of the proposed delay for the production of the papers in regard to Denmark, and he accused the Govern ment of being afraid to produce them at present, or to enter into a discussion on the subject. Mr. LAYARD said that the delay was unavoidable, and denied that the Government desired to evade discussion. Mr. DISRAELI also complained of the delay, which he attributed to the Government, and not to the printer. Lord PALMERSTON defended the Government, and said that the delay was unavoidable. The motion for adjournment was ultimately agreed to. KAGOSIMA. Mr. BUXTON moved the following resolution : —" That this house, while only imputing to Admiral Kuper a misconception of the duty imposed on him, deeply regrets the burning of the town of Kagosima, as being contrary to those usages of war which prevail among civilised nations, and to which it is the duty and policy of this country to adhere." In the course of a long address he cited several authorities on international law to show that the bombardment of Kagosima was directly opposed to the dictum of the most celebrated writers on maritime law. _ [LEFT SPEAKING.] LONDON GAZETTE,—This Evening.

J. Jenkin son, I. Milling, J. M. Soule, W. Evill, Esq., Junior, C. Robins, Esq., Dennis Gaven, Esq., and Norman Shairp, Esq. The meeting, which was a full one, was also addressed by two working men, Air. Fearn and Mr. Ward. After a few introductory remarks by the chairman, Mr. Norman Shairp, the honorary mere-. tary, read the report of the Provisional Com, mittee, from which it appeared that a house in Church - road had been taken wad ander the superintendence of Mr. E. C. Robins, the honorary architect, had been thoroughly repaired and fitted up for the purposes of the institute. About £2OO had been expended, and as little more than half was as yet subscribed, pecuniary a id was desired from the wealthy to enable the institute to start free of all liability. The Reverend H. Solly, the secretary of the Union, then delivered an eloquent address expli ana tory of the objects and advantages of worming men's clubs, of which he himself had been ins true mental in establishing some sixty during the last two years. In the course of his address, Mr. E .oily observed that the object of clubs and institutes t for working men was to supply a great and ackt ow.. ledged want, and to satisfy the craving for social intercourse which he believed to be divinely inspired for a good purpose, and therefore intended to he gratified. They sought to do this without leading the working man into habits of intempe rance, but rather by offering him a helping hand to enable him to resist the seductions of the gin palace, and to be interested not only in his owzt im.. provement, but also in the welfare of his fellows. He said it was not intended to draw away husbands from their firesides, but rather to make them value them the more ; and that until suitable dwellings were provided for a reasonable sum, without the miserable inconveniences which usually distinguish the homes of the working classes; that until better lodging could be had at lower prices, so that a large family should not have to exist in a couple of ill ventilated rooms, or run into debt for rent. Until such time, it was obviously needful, and it was intended to provide the working man a place of resort, where he could meet his friends and enjoy a few hours quiet recreation after his work till his wife should be ready to receive him, and be able to listen to the news of the day which he may have gleaned from the papers at his club. He said it was not intended to form temperance societies, but rather associations, where the tempta tions to intemperance should be removed, amid n ducements to temperate habits and mutual. im provement provided instead. They were. not engaged in a ;crusade' against innkeepers, but in attempting to provide that which it is not their interest to afford viz., a public house without intoxicating drinks therein. Neither was it intended that clubs should be made relig ions societies, but rather social and moral, mutual b ene fit, improvement and recreation societies, pro moting the cultivation of those virtues without which religion is soon brought into disrepute. He wished it also to be understood that it was the desire of the promoters of these clubs that the work.. ing men should themselves be in some sense re sponsible for its success. Two-thirds of the managing committee would be composed of working men, above the age of 18 years, with out distinction of class or creed, so long as they observed the rules of the institu tions which they themselves would be requested to take part in forming. It was the desire of the in would be a opbrioeinctost,earendofhethtreusßteadttetrhseeaunCdlearbtakto fgurther these success. Mr. Solly was followed by the gentlemen and working men before mentioned, and at the close of the meeting a considerable number of work ing of h men came e club.frward to enroll their names membersas DEATH IN THE STREET, Yesterday afternoon Mr. John Humphreys, the Middle, sex coroner, held an inquest at the Grasshopper Tavern, Charles-terrace, Mile-end New-town, on the body of Samuel Davis, aged 38. His brother, Thomas Davis, of 115, Back:lurch-lane, Whitechapel, said that he came to him late on the night of Saturday week, when he was in bed, and asked for a night's lodging. He gave him temporary relief, saying " You have brought yourself to this because of the wild life you have led. He then said he told him to come to breakfast in the morning. He denied that he had kicked him out of the house. He had only his slippers on. The next that, was seen of the deceased was when he was found lying in Gower's-walk "not sensible," the constable said , " but ho could speak." H e seemed to be intoxicated. He was taken to the Whiteehapel Union, where he died at 6 o'clock the following morning. Dr. A. M. Champneys said he had made a post-mortem examination of the body of the deceased. There were two wounds on the left hand. The ribs were broken, and there was a severe injury on the side of the head, which had caused congestion of the membranes of the brain. That was the immediate cause of death. The scalp was bruised. Those injuries might either have been caused by a blow or fall. The hand bore marks of a horse's shoe. He might have been walked over or knocked down by a horse. The Coroner said there was no evidence that the brother of the deceased had inficted the injuries from which the deceased expired. Tho jury therefore returned an open. verdict. THE GLASGOW DRAUGHT MATCH.—The draught match between Wyllie (the " Herd Laddie") and Martin, of London, has ended in the match being gained by Wyllie, after 18 days' play. In all, 62 games have been played, of which Wyllio has gained ten and Martin five, leaving 47 which have beeen drawn. The match was played for the championship of England and Scotland. the sum of £lOO, and £5 for each game. Thus Wyllie, who stood five games a-head of his opponent at the conclusion of the match, claims £25 in addition to the honour of cham pionship and the Major prize of Xloo.—.eo.a.ma" ma C ii tt br A a n n, L s E s s ee ll on E d BhEußsblaOnTd,)t,hileiu, rweact T eOret to (lAe.larand:bmee. come stone-blind, and may be seen every day being eon ids now residing. con ducted rbeyainsegr.vant abou t the streets o f lo ulon, where he 13.14.1 5.4.0 9.16.4' 12.10 Share 100 sk 10 100 stock steck stock' stock stook
