MARLBOROUGH• STREET. SHOCKING CONDITION Or OMNIBUS HORSES.—William Pouhoney, the driver of omnibus 7,517, the property of Mr John Bacon, of No. 41, Ledbury-road, Bayswater, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt, by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with cruelly ill-treating and torturing two horses by working them in an unfit state in an omnibus. The horses —or, more properly, the remains of horses— were brought to the front of the court for the magistrate's inspection, and they presented a pitiable spectacle. Pinkerford, one of the officers of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, proved seeing the de fendant driving two horses attached to an omnibus near the Tottenham-court-road last night about nine o'clock. The horses seemed very fatigued, and the defendant was whip ping them. He stopped the horses, and on examining them the off side horse had a large wound on the near side hock, which was badly swollen. The other horse had one of its hoofs slit. On telling the defendant the horses were unfit for work, he said he could not help it, and that if ho had not brought them out some one else would have done so. Mr Arthur Cherry, the Government veterinary surgeon, deposed that one of the horses had a large wound on the near hock joint, and a sore on the outside of the arm of the near foreleg. The other had disease of the foot. which was incurable, and a number of sores about it. Both horses were unfit for work of any kind, and would not work at all without being whipped. The defendant said he had never driven a better pair of horses. Mr Tyrwhitt said he thought the defendant should not be proceeded against alone. A summons ought to be taken out against the owner of the horses. He would inform the defendant that he was liable to be sent to prise n for three mouths, and he meant that observation also to apply to the' proprietor. He would take the defendant's own recognis ance to appear on Tuesday, on which day the sum:nons against the owner would be returnable, and in the meantime the horses could be watched to see they were ne t worked again. WESTMINSTER. LAMENTABLY DEFECTIVE STATE OF THE LINV.-A young man, of very respectable appearance, solicited the magistrate's advice under the following circumstances:— Applicant said that he had to complain of the bite of a mad dog, and the damage he had sustained in consequence, He went into a shop yesterday in Westminster to inquire the price of an article there for sale, and as he was leav ing the house a dog rushed out from the rear of the premises, flew at him, and bit him on the leg. Mr Solfe—Where were you at the time he bit you ? Applicant—Just leaving the door step in the street when he seized me by the leg. I am well known at the shop. I have bought several things there, and I think it is a very bad thing to be bit by a dog in this way. Mr Selfe—la be in the habit of biting mankind or womankind ? Applicant—l don't know. I believe so. The doctor that I went to said he had no doubt it was the same dog that had bit some other people. Mr Selfe—Can you prove that P Applicant—No, I cannot. Mr Selfe—Then, I cannot help you. Applicant—lf you were to see the wound where the dog seized me you would find it is very severe. Mr Selfe—You cannot take a summons unless you can prove that the dog is in the habit of biting people. You would have no proof under the Police Act that it is going about in a dangerous state. The mere fact of the dog's biting you is not sufficient to empower me to grant you a summons. Applicant—Ho bit me severely—that shows he is dan. gerous. Mr. Selfe—lie might have had a species of animosity to you. You must show that he is in the habit of biting other peop!e. Applicant—Can I have no redress for the damage done to my trousers? Mr Selfe—Not here. You must go t 3 the County Court for any claim of that sort. THAMES. CUTTING AND WOUNDING.—Herman Menus, a German skin-dresser, was brought up on remand from yesterday (Friday), to answer a charge of stabbing William Bryant, fireman on board a steamer bound to Bordeaux, and who will sail this afternoon in his vessel, in consequence of which the case was taken early. Mr C. Young, solicitor, defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence cf the prosecutor, who said he could not move the left side of his jaw, but who never theless treated the matter with great indifference, that on Tuesday night last he was on his way home to No. 16, Lambeth-street, Whitechapel, and between eight and nine o'clock he was stabbed " by that hero gentlemen there," pointing to the prisoner. The witness was directed to re late how the affair happened, and he said he was skylark ing, and the gentleman said something to him. One word brought on another, and the " gentleman " hit him or stabbed him, and cut down the side of the cheek. He had pushed against the " gentleman." He had not moved one side of his face since he was cut. In cross-examination by Mr Charles Young, the witness said he was drunk and did not recollect much at all about the matter. Two other men were with him. He struck against the prisoner, and the prisoner struck against him. Several witnesses were examined on both sides, who made out that the parties struck each other, but there was no doubt from the medical evidence of Mr John Comley, sur geon, of High- street, Whitechapel, that Bryant had been out down the left check with a sharp instrument. Mr Charles Young said the prisoner in self-defence struck Bryant with one of two tin cans he was carrying, and the sharp Qdge of the can inflicted the wound. Mr Partridge committed the prisoner for trial. TAKING CARE OF A FRIEND'S LUGGAGE.—CharIes Williams, a man of colour, a West Indian, was brought before Mr Partridge, charged with stealing a chest, con taining a large quantity of linen and wearing apparel, the property of William Henry Long. The prosecutor said he was a seaman, and lately belonged to the ship William fell. The prisoner was also a seaman abroad. On Saturday, last the 17th of September, he landed at Southampton from Havre. His luggage was left at the Custom-house, in Southampton, on the previous day. When he went to the Custom-house, on Saturday, to claim he found it was gone. His chest contained a pair of trousers, a pair of slippers, 5 shirts, 6 singlets, a pair of drawers, 4 pairs of stockings, a pair of mittens, a rug, a feather pillow, and other small articles. He suspected the prisoner, who had been at Havre with him, and reached Southampton a day in advance. On making inqui ries ho ascertained that a man of colour, whose description sue prisoner exactly, had been to tile uusrom house at Southampton, represented himself as the owner, and obtained the chest and contents. He met the prisoner last night is Ratcliff-highway, and said to him, " Halloa, have ycu got my chest ?" The prisoner said " Yes," and he then asked him to give it up. The prisoner said, " I'll take you to my boarding-house and give you up all your things." The prisoner walked him about the streets for an hour without taking him to any boarding-house, and he gave him in custody to a police-constable. The witness then produced the key of his chest and identified his pro perty, whioh was produced. John Ashbourn, a police constable No. 341 K, said he went to Buleg's boarding-house, 233, High-street, Shad well, where the prisoner was lodging, and found there the whole of the stolen property. Some of it was contained in ..„_. ._ the prisoner's own chest and the remainder in the prose. cutor's chest. The prisoner made a long defence, which was in effect that his cheat and the prosecutor's chest wore both taken on shore together at Southampton, and so he took both to London. He intended to take care of Long's property. Mr Partridge committed the prisoner to Newgato for trial. SPAIN AND THE AMERICAN STATES.—A Washing. ton despatch to the New York World says :—" The United States has been called upon by the United States of Colum • bia, formerly New Granada, to fulful the stipulation of the treaty of 1816, by which it agreed to guarantee, forcibly, if need be, the neutrality of the Isthmus of Panama. Pc.rn calls upon Columbia, with whom she is on friendly terms, to prevent the passage cf Spanish troops across the isthmus fur purposes hostile to her. A s Columbia has not the requi site strength to oppose such a purpose on the part of Spain, she calls upon our Government to fulfil the guaranty above referred to. The only queition was whether the United States of Columbia were the proper party to demand the ful filment of the treaty, and the question was referred to the Attorney• General for decision, and upon investigation of the facts he finds that New Granada and the United States of Columbia are one and the same Government. It there. fore becomes our duty to send troops and vessels of war, if necessary, to maintain the treaty and prevent Spain from transporting troops across the isthmus."

(From Bell's Life,) JOE COBURN AND JEM MACE. The final deposit for this match, making the£l,ooo down, was duly posted at Harry Brunton's, George and Dragon, Beech-street, Barbican, on Tuesday, Sept. 20—but although a considerable number of persons were present, in anticipa tion of some arrangement being come to for a choice of a place of fighting, they were doomed to disap pointment, no one attending with any authority to arrange matters on behalf of Coburn, It was now supposed that Coburn's friends, wishing matters to be kept snug, in tendedfollowing our advice, and meeting Brunton privately at our office the next day—but this supposition proved as vain as the anticipations of the previous night, no one whatever putting in an appearance. We at once concluded that Joe intended adhering strictly to the articles, and that the 22d, the day named in the articles, would be selected by him—but that day also passed not only without our hear. ing from him or his friends, but also without any sign from Brunton on behalf of Mace, a circumstance at which we were not a little surprised. On Friday, however, Harry Brunton attended, prepared to act for Mace, and ex pressed his surprise that Coburn had not communicated with him on the subject. Here he was joired by Nat Lang ham, who has nominally represented Coburn in this country —but, on our questioning Nat, he said he had no authority to toss, and was quite as much in the dark as to what Joe's intentions were as ourselves. This increased the difficulty of the position, and we began to have fears as to the re sult, but, fortunately, in the nick of time Mr. E. James, editor of the New York Clipper, made his appearance at our office as a properly qualithd representative of Coburn ; and after a few preliminaries, he and Harry Brunton tossed for the choice of place, and agreed that the winner should give the loser notice on Friday next, at a house in the neighbourhood of Dublin, of the intended trysting place. The toss was won by Mr James, and, so far as arrange ments could then be made, all terminated amicably and satisfactorily. Before parting it was further agreed that the representatives of the men should meet between 1 and 3 on Monday, Oct. 3, at the same house, where the notice is to be given to agree upon a referee. During the week we have had several communications from Mace, two from Liverpool and one from Manchester, ' in each of which ho represents himself as better than ever he was in his life. He states that he shall be bigger than in any of his former battles, and will weigh about list 51h. From Coburn, as we have stated, we have no direct ac counts, but rumour states that he is doing good work, and although, perhaps, still a little fleshy, is getting himself into excellent fettle. Wo have still heard of but little betting, nor does the excitement appear to increase, as it did on the eve of the great fight between Tom Sayers and lieepan. This is doubtless in a great measure owing to the prevail ing belief that the mill will not come off. A very general feeling exists, amounting almost to a certainty, that the authorities in Ireland will not permit the fight, and this teing so, people seem to take it into their heads that Co burn will stick to the strict letter of the articles, and a draw will be the result. This we can hardly believe will be the case, and wa have every confidence that when the eventful time arrives both will be at their posts, and that no unfair advantage will be attempted on either side, Mr James in forum us that in New York there is quite as much betting as on the Sayers and Heenan match, and that anything above 5 to 4 on Mace is eagerly taken. Nat Langham starts this day for Ireland to give his counsel to Joe Coburn. Telegrams will be sent daily to the Mitre, St Martin's-lane, with all the tips, and the re sult of the fight will be known within a few hours after its decision. THE RUSSIANS IN THE BLACK SEA.—The Mont tear de la Flotte publishes a letter from Soukoum, in the Black Sea, giving an account of the taking possession of Adler by the Russian troops, a fortress wh!ch they had abandoned at the commencement of the last war. The writer states that the 28th of April was the day fixed for the embarkation of the Russian troops at Soukoum. Seven steam corvettes, one transport, five cutters, and three sailing ships were assembled in the roads. The two preceding days were employed in embarking the provisions an dbaggage of the army. Ten stages were erected to facilitate the embarkation of the troops, who were carried to the ships in eight Cossack boats, four pont )ous, and 16 barges—sufficient to con vey 2,000 troops at each trip. The boats arrived at the stages at half-past eight in the morning ; at nine a shot from the Admiral's ship gave the signal fur the troop to enter the boats; at eleven every soldier was embarked; and in the course of two hours, the sea being perfectly smooth, four battalions of infantry, bur pieces of cannon, aed four companies of militia, altogether 7,000 men, were on board the ships. At two o'clock the Commander-in- Chief, with his staff, embarked on board the Tigre. The ships weighed anchor and formed into two c )lumns—the strongest steamers towing the sailing visscls. They steered for Adler, the fortress of the Holy Ghost, which was aban doned by the Russians at the beginning of the last war. They arrived there on the morning of the 29th, and at ten all were landed—the band of the Regiment of Erivan playing. a march.

ABOLITION OF TURNPIKE TOLLS.—A name■ rously attended vestry meeting of the ratepayers of Wool wich was held yesterday at noon, to consider a communica tion from the Home Secretary relative to the expediency of abolishing the turnpike trusts in the south-eastern suburbs of.' the metropolis. The meeting unanimously considered that the proposed abolition would bo unjust to the rate payers, who would be comrelled to keep the roads in repair, and that the present system of maintaining such roads by tolls was based cn a lair principle. On the motion of Mr Ruegg, seconded by Mr Taylor, a resolutica rifirruirz this opinion was unanimously adopted. At a vestry meeting of the ratepayers of Charlton a similar resolution was adopted. NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH AT BARNET.— Yesterdly another Roman Catholic Church was commenced at Barnet, the first stone being laid by Bishop Morris, assisted by other Roman Catholic celebrities. The church is to be Gothic in character, and the architects a-e Messrs Willson and Nicholl, of London. It will lee about 50 feet long by 32 wide, and will accommodate about 200 persons. After the usual ceremonies were performed in accordance with the ritual, the bishop delivered a discourse appropriate to the occasion, after which there was a dgcrencr. Another Roman Catholic Church was opened last Sunday at Waltham. The ploughing match of the Bennington La. bourers' Society was herd, on the 22d, at Benning ton, and, as is usual now-a-days, the Champion Class, open to all England, attracted the Ransome's and Howard's, with their men and horses.

These continued successes in all pails of the kingdom strongly confirm the correctness of tl marked distinction gained by Messrs Ranserne's new seri, s of ploughs at the recent Newcastle meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society of England. GREAT FIRE AT THE SUP.F.EY CANAL MICES RICE MILLs.—At a late hour last night flames were seen to issue from the windows cf the rice mills occu pied by Messrs Chapman, Thigh, and Co., at the Surrey Canal Docks. The fire brigade, with ninuercus engines, were almost immediately on the spot, and, although there was an abundant supply cf water, the fire could not be get under until the entire building, containing about 1,000 tons of rice, was destroyed. The loss is insured. While the firemen wera enagaged at the rice mill, the premises of Mr Burt, cork cutter, opposite the fire engines station, Well close-square, took fire, and were not extinguish”d until the building and contents were destroyed, Mr Burt was in sured in the Sun Fire- office. ;: i
