Ellis, a tailor, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and disorderly. Police-coastable Was. Tyler, 65 C, said—Last night, about eleven o'clock, I heard the prisoner making a great disturbance in Carnaby-street, Re gent-street, calling out " Down with Sir Richard Mayne and all the police." On going up and telling the prisoner to go away, he said "You are one of the paupers,. and I should like to know what business you have to interfere with me." The prisoner then abused me, and told some of his companion 3 that he should like to cut all the -- policemen's eyes out. The prisoner wa3 drunk. The Prisoner--I beg to deny all the constable has stated, except that I admit that I was drunk. Ile shoved me, and I abused him, it is true, but he would not let me go quietly, and I should like to know what right he had to shove me—that is not the proper way to treat a man. Mr. Tyrwhitt—You are a mixture of pugnacity and eloquence, and had much better stick to your tailoring. It is such miserable creatures as you who do such mischief. You will have to pay 20s. or 14 days. The Prisoner—That's thick, I think. A BRACE OFJUVENILE PICKPOCKETS. —Two boys, named James Burns and James M'Grady, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with attempting to pick pockets in Oxford -street and Regent-street. Police-constables Shrives 82 C and Webb 96 R saw the prisoner yesterday afternoon in Regent street and Oxford -street busily engaged in trying to pick ladies' pockets, and after watching them for some time I took them into custody. In answer to the magistrate, the officers stated that Al'Grady, although only 14 years of age, bad been several times in custody, and that he had one brother undergoing seven months' imprisonment, and another eighteen mouths' itnpr:soument. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed M'Grady for three months with hard labour, and Burns for one month. SIIARE LIST. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. share Itatiwaye. Closing Business Paid.

THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—EIIen Dillon, a pale faced Irishwoman, who has frequently been charged at this court with drunkenness and disorderly con. duct, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with savagely assaulting Mary Shean, who presented herself in court with an ugly surgical patch on her forehead. The prisoner has been for some time in the receipt of parochial relief, from the Poplar Union. She received her money on Wednesday, got drunk, and quarrelled with several persons. Meeting the complainant, a poor old decrepit woman, also a native of Ireland, she commenced abusing her, and a fearful scene of riot and disorder took place. Mrs. Dillon armed herself with a poker, and struck Mrs. Sheen a terrible blow on the head,inflicting a severe wound. She fell, and lost a large quantity of blood before her head was dressed. Inspector Smith, of the K division, said that the prisoner made so much noise, and was guilty of so much violence in the station-house, that he was obliged to lock her up while he entered the charge on a police sheet. She was in custody a fortnight ago for being drunk and disorderly. The prisoner, in defence, said that Mrs. Sheen called her a very bad name. Another witness said that the prisoner made a blow at her with the poker. The Prisoner—lt was the drops of drink. Mr. Paget—The bottom of everything wrong. Ia this case it appears you were receiving parish relief, and got drunk with the money. It is a most scandalous malappropriation of the money of the ratepayers, and the relieving officers will no doubt make the proper inquiries, and prevent a repetition of this. You are sentenced to a mouth's imprison.. ment and hard labour. LAMBE7II ELECTION. Last night a public meeting, in support of Mr. Littler, the gentleman who has come forward as a third Liberal candidate for the representation of Lambeth, was attempted to be held at the Horns Tavern, Kennington. In the bills calling the meet ing Mr. Littler was described as the working men's " own candidate," and the electors were invited to come early and show their independence. The electors acted on the advice in rather a striking manner. Long before the time appointed for com mencing the proceedings, a large crowd of persons had assembled outside of the building, and the doors were not more than a quarter of an hour open when the large room of the tavern became quite crammed with people. Mr. 11AnvEY, who was moved to the chair, cautioned the meeting against indulging in per sonality, and declared that he would on no ac count allow disparaging remarks to be made on any of the candidates for the borough. (Laughter, hisses, cheers, and uproar.) The chairman was proceeding to give an explanation of the reasons which had induced Mr. Littler to come for ward, in the course of which he referred to the political career of Mr. Doulton, the men tion of whose name caused general hissing, hoot ing, and cries of "We want to hear nothing more of him," and " Smd him to Brussels." The chairman denied that Mr. Littler's coming forward would divide the Liberal interest in the borough. He held that Alderman Lawrence was responsible for having done that. (No," " M'Arthur and Lawrence for Lambeth ;" cheers, and general uproar, during which the chairman declared his firm determination to make the meeting hear him out, and soon after was induced to give up the attempt, and gave place to the gentleman in whose support the meeting was called.) Mr. LITTLER, on presenting himself, was ac corded a very dispiriting reception. The learned gentleman had to wait patiently till the hissing, hooting, cock-crowing, and cheering powers of the meeting had exhausted itself. Mr. Littler then asked, was he to go on or not ? (Gene ral cries of " No.") It had been said that he had come forward to divide the Liberal interest in the borough. (So you will, Hear, hear, and commo tion.) On the contrary, he had come forward for the purpose of consolidating the Liberal interest, if possible. (Laughter, cheers, and hisses.) It was necessary to return two Liberals at the head of the poll. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) What was the state of things before he came forward ? A large number of electors had declared that they would rather vote for the Con servative candidate than for the two Liberals who were in the field. (Cries of "No," and confusion.) He repeated that such was the state of things, and that was the cause of his presenting himself. (" Bah," and hisses.) If ho did not come for ward the Conservative candidate would be elected. (" More likely now than ever," and " Hear, hear.") Mr. Littler then produced a printed copy of his address, and endea voured to give the meeting detailed informa tion respecting his political principles. The learned gentleman's address was, however, from beginning to end, quite a formality, for the meeting, instead of paying attention to anything that Mr. Littler said, indulged in loud discussions among them selves, and now and then gave stronger and much ❑oisier proofs of their unwillingness to give a hearing to the learned gentleman. Mr. DAVIS and Mr. DIXON, who announced themselves as working men, moved and seconded, amid a continuation of the uproar, a resolution to the effect that Mr. Littler was, in the opinion of the meeting, the most fit and proper person to re present the borough in the next Parliament. After another hour's scene of the wildest confusion and noise, in the course of which several questions were asked but not answered, and an amendment was proposed, the Chairman put the resolution in support of Mr. Littler's candidature, and declared it to be carried ; but it was impossible to decide accurately the vote of the meeting in consequence of the noise and confusion that prevailed, and from the fact that the show of hands seemed to be equal. DEATH OE LORD CURBIEHILL. . _ Mr. John 111arsnall, who, as judge of the Scotch Uourb of Session, bore the courtesy title of Lord Curriehill, and who retired from the bench about a fortnight since, died at Curriehill on Tuesday night. The Edinburgh Courant of Wednesday says of him : " Lord Curriehill has not long survived his retirement from the bench which he so well adorned. Many el his friends had hoped that a release from official duty might be the means of yielding him a certain space of serene quiet and comparative ease. But it was otherwise ordained. The malady which led to his retirement had gained more strength than was sup posed, and on Wednesday night he peaceably breathed his la3t. We have thus lost a lawyer of a very eminent and peculiar kind. He came to the bar 50 years ago, in the year 1818. From that time forward he was distinguished as an honest, industrious, and intelligent lawyer. No one ever found him deficient in the dis charge of his duty, or ill-prepared in the lesson that he undertook. He was for some time Dean of Faculty, and performed the duties of the office with propriety and dignity. In 1852 he was raised to the bench, and it zannot be doubted that thereby the country derived the most signal benefit from his talent and experience, and in particular from his acquaintance with all the most important branches of the law of Scotland." THE DEATH OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY. The Guardian contains some accounts of the deathbed of the deceased archbishop. His Grace was seized almost suddenly with bronchitis on the 13th of September, while on his way back from the Tyrol. He reached Addington on the 16th, and was able, though with difficulty, to hold his ordination in the parish church on the following Sunday. Two or three times be rallied so much that hopes were entertained that his robust constitution would enable him to shake off the disease. On the evening of Thursday week the unfavourable symptoms increased, and from that time he was confined to his bed. His mental powers remained uninjured, and he was occupied unceasingly in reading devotional books, or in writing or giving instructions concerning his charge, which he had almost completed, though he had quite given up the idea of delivering it orally. He anticipated the end almost from the first, and in a paper written three or four days ago, when speaking was become difficult to him, he said, " I commit my soul into the hands of my God and dear Saviour. I have bad proofs enough of His love in the past, and I am well assured that whatever sufferings or trials are permitted to befall me are visitations of love. `Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him.' As to the faith in which I wish to die ; I cannot better express it than in Richard Hooker's dying words, as indicated in the under lined passage I have written out. A poor and guilty sinner I know myself to be ; but I believe that those who kneel at the feet of the Cross with this sincere confession will never be cast out if they look to the cleansing blood of Christ for their sole ground of pardon and acceptane e .” The following is the extract from Hooker :—" i'hough I have by His grace loved Him in youth, and feared Him in mine age, and labou:ed to have a con science void of offence to Him and to all men ; y e t if Thou, 0 Lord, be extrer:A to mark what I have done amiss, who can abide, it? And therefore, where I have failed, Lord, stew mercy to me ; for I plead, not my righteousness, but the forgiveness of my own unrighteous ness, for His merits who died to purchase pardon for penitent sinners. And since I owe Thee a death, 0 Lord, let it not be terrible, and then take thine own time. Let not mine, 0 Lord, but thy will be done." On Sunday his Grace appeared decidedly better, but on Monday afternoon the disease changed for the worse, and from that time he sank rapidly. He received the Holy Communion about midday on Tuesday, making all the responses with a cheerful and happy face. His last intelligible words were those of the " Gloria in Excelsis." But his looks and gestures proved how eagerly he joined in the prayers and ejaculations which were said with him during the day, and never was there seen a more beautiful peace than that of his last hour. About six he became unconscious. The members of his family, with his medical attendant, Dr. Carpenter, and Mr. Benham, the vicar of Addington, were with him to the last ; and he died, in the middle of the words of commendation, so quietly that the last moment was not perceptible. THE BANQUET TO LORD NAPIER OF MAGDALA. The people of Portsmouth were determined to pay their respects to and shew their admiration of the conqueror of Theodore. Hardly bad he come back from Abyssinia when they invited him to a banquet. For the time he declined it ; but on his road out to India, rid Portsmouth, he allowed the inhabitants of the port to do him honour. At the banquet a great deal was said about his heroism and his virtues. In responding to the toast of his health, proposed, it is stated, amidst defeaniug cheers, he said : " I cannot sufficiently express my feelings of gratitude for the kind and cordial way in which you have received the health which has just been proposed to you. It is no ill compliment to you to say that I accepted the invitation to be present here to-night with some reluctance, because I felt that having been so graciously rewarded by her Majesty, and so gene rously welcomed in many parts of England, I was receiv ing an undue share of the gratitude of this country. I would willingly have deprived myself of the pleasure of receiving your welcome if I could have forgotten the kind manner in which the invitation was conveyed to me ; but it was the remembrance of the cordial terms used in the invitation, coupled with the fact that Portsmouth cannot be looked upon as a merely civil community, but that it is essentially a naval and military community, that induced me to accept your hospitality. I fee] that it is also a very graceful addition to your welcome that you have invited here to-night so many distinguished members of the defensive services of this country, as well as many eminent gentlemen belonging to the county ; and that there are also near me many of the comrades to whom belongs so great a share of the success of our Abys sinian expedition. I am proud, indeed, to have this welcome shared by my gallant friends Colonel Twiss and Colonel Penn, whose ' steel pens' did such excellent services. I also see Colonel Cooper, whose gallant regi ment, the 33rd, will ever do justice to the character of English soldiers. You have also invited to share your hospitality the medical officers of the 33rd, who represent an admirable and faithful body of men. I should have been very glad if circumstances had permitted one more branch to be represented—namely, the clergy of the expedition, and I am ashamed to say that branch has not been mentioned before. It is true they had not to solace many death-beds, because we had not many, but those to whom the duty fell accompanied the regiments to the front, and those who were in the rear took care to prepare and sanctify the last resting. place of those who fell victims to the climate of the coun try. I make these remarks in order to repair previous omissions on this subject. My acquaintance with England has hitherto been very slight indeed, my visits having been only short and transient. During the present visit, however, I have had an opportunity of seeing more than I did before ; and as regards one class of the community I have learnt much—l mean the industrial and labouring classes. What I have witnessed has given me the greatest respect for those men who have to earn their living by labour. The independence, uprightness, and good conduct of so many of them cannot fail to awaken feelings of the highest interest. It has been observed, and I am sure with much truth, that our soldiers have been greatly improving during the years which many of us can remember, certainly during those which I remember. Now, I can trace the source of that improve. ment to the fact that the class from which our soldiers principally come have also improved. I have visited some homes in different parts of England—humble homes, too — and I find in the humblest the history of the country and its daily transactions are well known. The modest Scotch matron and the Welsh and English countrywomen know what is going on, and can speak of what has recently happened. I found wherever I went that men and women knew all about the Abyssinian expedition, and nothing has endeared my country to me meosreofthaannEthneghlieslairut,yonzll: of the h an d h ar d ened by ocormexepgrleasnsecdedinfrom s t t h re e n b g ri g g r h as t pey toil. The state of Europe and the affairs of our country have given many people thoughts of anxiety, but I must sa y, when I see such skill and energy directed to the improvement of all arms of offence and defence, when I see the immense power displayed in the manufacture of iron ships, when I see the perseverance, determination, and powerful will of the British people, I am led to declare that I think nothing can happen which need cause us fear. The community which has done me the honour to welcome me here is one essentially connected with war. Scarcely an expedition leaves the shores of England which Ports mouth has not had to equip, and while the union between the army and navy and our civil countrymen is so strong, the country at large has nothing to fear." Lord Napier also responded on behalf the House of Lords, He described himself as " the last recruit "to the Upper Chamber of the Legislature, and though his expe rience of its members had been short, yet he had seen sufficient to snake him think that the country might rely upon the peers to do that which they believed best fur its interests. The rectory of Clifton Campville, near Tam worth, vacant by the resignation of the Rev. H. J. Pye, who has joined the commttlion of the Church of Rome, has been conferred upon the Rev. Thomas Samuel Fraser Rawlins, M.A., of Worcester College, Oxford, vicar of Denchworth, Berkshire. Mr. Rawlins was curate of the parish. SPORTING INTELLTGENOII—TIaIa Day.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day. FORGING FOREIGN BILL STAMPS. An elderly man named Monk was indicted for fraudulently transposing and forging a quantity of foreign bill stamps. It will be recollected the prisoner was one of the persons implicated in the extensive system of frauds which had been perpetrated by cutting the cedtre medallion from penny foreign bill stamps, and placing over the cancel mark on certain foreign bill-stamps, varying in value from ss. to 205., thus giving them the appearance of new or unused stamps. The jury found the prisoner guilty. Sentence deferred. Henry Jackson was also found guilty of utter ing stamps for the same fraudulent description. Sentence in this case was also postponed. FORGERY. Ed ward Way, a gentlemanly young man, pleaded guilty to a charge of forging a bill of exchange for £278. The prisoner had, up to the time of the forgery, occupied a responsible situation iu a merchant's office in that city, but, yielding to tempta tion be committed the forgery, then married a young lady, in iguorance of what he had done, and both quitted England and went to Austria, where he commenced business as a wine merchant. The young lady, who bad married the prisoner un known to her friends, communicated with her pa rents, and finally returned to England, to which country the prisoner followed her, and then gave himself up. The Common Sergeant said he would consider the case before he passed sentence. BIGAMY. The charge of bigamy preferred against a person name.l Brutton no evidence was offered, and a ver dict of Not Guilty was returned. MARKE7 8-2 MS DAY. METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
