A COURAGEOUS BOY.--ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. — Ann Fay, a married woman, living at Turk's-row, Chelsea, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with attempting to commit suicide at the Serpentine. Thomas Gibson, a boy about 14 years of age, living in Little Newport-street, said that on the previous afternoon he was taking a walk by the Serpentine when noticing a splash in the water and seeing a female in it, he took off his coat and ran into the water and pulled her to the bank, when a gentleman assisted him in getting her on to the bank. ➢ir. Tyrwhitt asked the boy whether he could swim. The boy said he could not. He went in up to his arm pits. Police-constable Henry May, 297 A, said that on going to the Serpentine he was told by some persons who were standing round the prisoner that the boy Gibson, who was wet up to the arm pits, had pulled her out of the water. The prisoner had placed her bonnet and shawl on the bank., and then walked into the water a certain distance and threw herself face downwards in the water. The prisoner said she did it through distress. The prisoner's husband, a painter, said he could assign no reason for his wife's conduct. The prisoner said what she had done she had done of her own free will, as she could not tell how she could pay her rent. The husband said he had been laid up for some time, but hoped to get work soon. Mr. Tyr whitt said he considered it safer on the whole to send the prisoner for a week, where she would be kindly taken care of, and where she would have the advice of the chaplain, and if necessary the attention of the doctor. Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered the boy a small sum from he poor box. WESTMINSTER: WELL MERITED P UNISHMENT.—Robert Gibson, a youth of forbidding appearance, was charged with being drunk and committing himself in a most dis graceful manner. Richard Hatton, coachman to the Rev. Thomas Ward Franklin, said that at one o'clock yesterday afternoon defendant, who was drunk, drove a rub bish cart down Cromwell-mews, where is no thorough fare, and damaged a carriage. Witness stopped him to inquire his name and address, when he struck him with the butt-end of his whip and then gallopped out of the yard. Witness followed, when defendant got out of the cart and again assaulted him by striking him with his fist on the neck. He then again jumped into his cart, and gallopped through Thurloe-square into the Fulham-road, driving to the great danger of passengers. Witness was fol lowing in a Hansom cab, when defendant left his cart and rushed into the cab wheels, and then threw himself upon the pavement, and left his coat on the road. Police-constable 8 B R proved taking him into custody. He had no business near Cromwell mews. _ _ Defendant said he only just touched the carriage, and then he was followed. He denied the assault. Mr. Arnold—You have been guilty of most out rageous misbehaviour, committing assaults, and driving about to the imminent peril of the public. You are committed for six weeks to hard labour. THE APPOINTMEN7 OF CATHOLIC CHAPLAINS TO BOROUGH AND COUN7Y GAOLS. The complaints frequently made by Catholic re presentatives that the Prisons Ministers' Act has been virtually set aside by the county justices, though true in too many instances, does not apply in some few cases, such as that of Manchester, Li- verpool, Preston, and a few other large towns in the north of England. The most recent case of such appointments is that of Usk, where the county jus tices have appointed a Roman Catholic priest at a somewhat small salary (£25), with scarcely a dis sentient voice. We abridge the following report from the Hereford Vines RELPU, having given notice of the following motion —" That a Roman Catholic minister be appointed to Usk prison under the provisions of the Prison Ministers' Act, 1863," said he was about to move that resolution as the organ of the visiting justices of the Usk House of Correction. For some time past they had hai the services of the Roman Catholic minister of Usk in the prison, and an application had been made on behalf of Vaat minister that some remuneration should be paid him for his services he had rendered to the prisoners. The visiting justices recommended that a gratuity should be :given to him, and a notice to that purport was given at the last Quarter Sessions for the consideration of that portion of the subject at the present sessions; but it was found that the Court could give no :remuneration of any sort unless the minister was appointed in accordance with the provisions of the Prison Ministers' Act, 1863 ; conse quently notice was given at the last sessions of the present motion. Mr. Reiph then quoted the 26th snd 27th Victoria, c. 79, providing that upon prisoners wishing to see the ministers belonging to their own body, he should attend at certain hours during the ; day, and at such times as the chaplain of the prison directed. The reason why the visiting justices thought that it would be a fitting step to appoint a Catholic minister was that he had one-fourth of the prisoners under his charge. Last year there was a daily average of 29 Catholics in the prison ; the year previous it was rather over 30, and they must all admit that it was not advisable to leave such a large number of prisoners to the chance services of an y minister who might or might not feel it his duty to properly attend to them in the prison. He thought the magistrates had the religious welfare of the prisoners under their charge equally with their general good conduct, and should see that they were both properly maintainer: in the prison, whilst this was the only object they had in view in recommending this appointment. At the present time the Rev. Mr. Wilson, the re spected minister of the Roman Catholic church at Usk, was attending at the prison, and he had attended four days a week ever since the passing of the Prison Ministers' Act. The visiting justices thought that an attendance of four days a week by the Catholic minister was quite ample, for with the small number of Roman Catholic prisoners, if he attended oftener, it would be unfair to the other prisoners under ,he ministrations of the chaplain of the prison, beciuse it would be taking so much more from the hard labour punishment than in the case of prisoners of other creeds ; so that in limiting the time of the attendance of the ministers they had to handicap the prisoners as it were. He did not think he need say more in making this motion, excepting to state that if the Court ap pointed the minister, he should ask them to pay him, but he would not mix up the two matters to gether, although it was right the Court should know that if they made the appointment they would be asked to pay the minister. And, he was sure, no ratepayer in the county would object to paying a man for his services, inasmuch as the Catholics in the county were contributing, in conjunction with all the other ratepayers, towards the pay ment of the chaplain of the prison, whereas their fellow worshippers could not receive his ministra tions. Therefore no one could object to paying the minister some reasonable stipend—and. he believ_ed a very reasonable one would be suggested to the Court—as it would only be doing to others as they would wish to be done by in making the appoint ment. Leaving the question of remuneration for a subsequent motion, he would now move that Mr. Wilson be appointed as minister at the Usk gaol under the Prisons Ministers' Act. Major M`DONELL was in hopes that some one else would have seconded this—as he considered it —just proposition. It appeared to him that this application was based upon a moral right, for the Catholic ratepayers contributed as much to the general expenses of the country as any other reli gious body. He thought the Catholic prisoners themselves had a claim to the appointment, for it was quite true that they were debarred by their creed from receiving the ministrations of the minister of any other denomination, or of the Estab lished Church, and it would not be fair that they should be punished by having no religious consola tion at all ; that was not the wish of the Court. lie considered the appointment was one of right, and he did not regard it in the light of granting a favour. ti Colonel P. SOMERSET said that with regard to the proposal brought before the Court by Relph, he should have great pleasure in sup porting it for this reason. He had visited several gaols and several public institutions both in England and abroad, and he had never on any occasion visited a place where Roman Catholics were confined without finding that very great good had been done —and he could now speak from an experience of 25 years upon such matters—by the Catholic priests and other gentlemen who had visited those institutions, whilst in no case had evil resulted from the practice as far as he could judge. • He should, therefore, have great pleasure in supporting the resolution all that he possibly could. • Mr. G. SOMERSET entirely agreed with the pro position. In reply to the Rev. J. Farquhar, Mr. RELPH said the ministrations by the minister would be confined entirely to the prisoners belonging to his own persuasion. - The motion for the appointment of the Rev. Mr. Wilson was then submitted to the Court, and it was carried by a majority of 17 to 2. Air. RELPH read over his proposed scale of pay ment, and observed that as the daily average number of Catholic prisoners was over 25, the salary which the minister would at once come into was £25. But after a conversation with the Chairman and other magistrates, he said he beli eve d th ere was some informality in the sale of payment he had sug gested, and he was quite content to waive his own views on the subject, and to propose that the payment to Mr, Wilson should be lie thought that wa s a ver y rea they could of course i ncrease it a t sO 2 n s a b p l e e r any time it it was found necessary, but it was always sum, ann u a m a d difficalt to reduce. Mr. T. DAVIES hoped there was no intention to reduce the salary of the chaplain of the prison. Mr. RELPH said the honest plan would be, if 29 prisoners were taken from the chaplain, to take a percentage off his salary in order to pay the man who attended them ; but he thought that would be rather too hard, and he was not going to ask it. The CHAIRMAN —There is no notice of motion. Mr. T. BROWN seconded the proposition, and it was unanimously adopted. EMIGRATION TO LIBERIA.—The Golconda, a ship owned by the American Colonization Society ; has just put to sea with 451 emigrants for the African republic. Most of the men are farmers and mechanics, and are well sup plied with agricultural implements and tools. Turning lathes and the requisite machinery for grist and saw mills, :or which ample water power abounds in Liberia, were taken by some of the well-to-do of them. Sewing ma chines were not forgotten by the women. Free transpor tation in the ship was given them by the society, and articles tending to promote their success in the republic to which they go. A fair proportion of the company can read, and some can read and write. The communicants of churches are remarkably numerous. There are five li censed ministers of the Baptist and Methodist denomina tions.—Savarenafr AYews. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NE WMARKET JULY MEETING.—TUESDAY. The meeting "behind the ditch" was as successful as could have been anticipated under the disadvantages caused by a continuance of the dry weather ; but it may be mentioned that this part of the Heath is always bettor going than any other. The proceedings commenced with the Achievement Stakes, which fell to one of the scattered flock of Danebury, Bagpipes, now owned by Mr. Pryor, a "moral" being upset in Lady Dewhurst, who, however, made a very exciting race of it, and was only defeated by a head. The Gladiateur stakes went, as. it was bound to do, to Badsworth, who, barring nothing, may be said to have exhibited the best two-year-old form this season. Matthew Dawson carried off the Sweepstakes of 10 sovs each with the racing-like Sedition, and the swift little Sister to Veda managed to win the Handicap Sweepstakes. The piece de resistance of the day, the July Stakes, did not disappoint the talent in their selection ; but Ryshworth must have caused them some little alarm at the finish, as by changing his leg he was very nearly putting them into the "cart." The plate of 100 soya was little short of a canter for the clipping Grimston ; and La Belle Jeanne gave the jaded Adamanthea a shameful beating for the Plate of 50 sovs. Details are appended:— The Achievement Stakes of 50 sovs each, h ft, for two year old fillies ; Bst 101 b each ; untrieds allowed 31b ; winners of 200 sovs 51b extra; maidens at starting al lowed 31b; I.tst half of the Now T.Y.C. ; 19 subs.

Bagpipes, on the right, made play, Lady Dowhurst lying at her quarters, Matilda, in the centre of the course, being about half a length in the rear of the northern filly, Amazon° lying on the extreme left. They ran in this way to the brow of the hill, about a quarter of a mile from home, when Lady Dewhurst got level with Mr. Pryor's filly, and the pair ran a head And head race home, French landing the Mexican blue very cleveely by a head ; Ma tilde, was third, two lengths in rear of Lady Dewhurst, the Maid of Masham filly fourth, Glen Rosa fifth, and Atnazone last.

In this way they ran to the dip, where The Rajah ran wide, and Sister to Veda took up the running, winning cleverly by a length. Alpenstock and Bagpipes ran an exciting race home for second place, finishing a dead heat; Verona was eloal up fourth, The Rajah fifth, and Lady Roseberry last.

The Orphan then dropped back slightly, and immediately afterwards Martyrdom was in difficulties, as also was Carine, who dropped from the centre of the ruck behind the hill, The favourite and Abstinence then singled themselves out, being at least three lengths in advance of De Vere, who was some distance in front of the Baron's colt. The first pair raced head and head until within a few strides of the chair, where Ryshworth was enabled to get a slight advantage, and Abstinence dying away, Mr. Savile's colt won cleverly by a neck, three lengths divid ing the second and third ; Director was fourth, a length only in the rear of De Vere; The Orphan fifth, Martyr dom sixth, Carine seventh, Drummer eighth, Miss Sarah c last.

EXTRAORDINARY NIGHT ADVENTURE. —Thomas Lewis, aged 32 years, a type founder, of Great Arthur-street, Goswell-street, St. Luke's, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing £l5 and a gold watch from the person of William Lewis (his namesake, but no relation). The prisoner had met with a severe accident, his head was bandaged, and one of his legs was in jured. He was in great pain in the dock. The prosecutor, a watchmaker, said he got out last night. He had been out all day. He got drunk this morning, and when he came to his senses he missed his money, 215 and a few odd half-crowns, and a gold watch. He did not care about the money, The watch belonged to a customer, and was in trusted to him to clean and repair. All he recol lected of the night's adventure was that he was in the Pitt's Head, corner of Old-street, and was put into a cab by a police-constable in an insensible condition. He lived at 33, Cranbourn-street, Old Ford. Thomas Baker, an old cab driver, and a very respectable man, who gave his evidence in a very formal manner, said this morning at 7 o'clock I was called by a boy to a public-house. The prosecutor was brought out senseless, like a dead man ,in the prisoner's arms, and I was directed to take him to Old Ford. There was a lot of people all around him. I called at the corner of Pitfield-street, Hoxton, to get the proper address of the prosecutor. The prisoner pulled him about, shook him, and rolled him. A friend of the prosecutor said, " Give him a bottle of soda water." The prisoner put his hand in the trousers pocket of the prosecutor and took out some money—to pay for the soda water. The pro secutor received a little, and gave his proper ad dress, 33, Cranbourn-street, Old Ford. I was mak ing the best of my way there, and the prisoner took the gold watch from the prosecutor's waistcoat pocket and put it into his own breast pocket. The prisoner repeatedly asked me to stop, but I would not, and he tumbled off the cab and injured his head. The wheel went over his thigh, and I took him to the London Hospital. Mr. Benson—And where did you take the pro secutor ? Witness—l took him there, too. He was more dead than alive. (Loud laughter.) _ _ Evidence was then gone into of the arrival of the party at the London Hospital at minutes to eight. The prisoner was attended to, and the prosecutor sent away in a coach. Mr. William Bates, the porter at the hospital, said that the prisoner's head was cut, and he said he was injured about the loins. The prisoner was inebriated, and the medical officers of the institu tion proposed to use the galvanic battery upon him, but he objected to that. (Laughter.) A gold watch belonging to the prosecutor was found upon him, and he was sent away to the station-house. The prisoner made a long defence, and said that he never worked for more than two masters, Sheriff Figgina and Alderman Besley, both typefounders, and he believed both gentle men would give him a good character. He was on the drink yesterday, and was knocking White Cross_ about Golden-lane and street, St. Luke, all night. He had not a watch cf his own. He did not know how he came by the gold watch. Mr. Benson—The cab-driver saw you take the gold watch from the prosecutor and put it in your own pocket. If you are a respectable man you ca n call witnesses to character. This foolish man, the watch-maker, has lost £l5 and a gold watch, and the watch is in your possession. This is a m os t serious charge. _ ... The Prisoner—l have not had time this morning to bring witnesses. Mr. Benson—Then I will remand you until Tues day next, and then hear any witnesses you can produce. CHARGE AGAINST LISTKEEPERS AT WORCESTER. —Messrs. Valentine and Wright, Mr. James Keene, Mr. J. Stirk, and Mr. W. Shee were on Monday summoned before the Worcester magistrates, for that they " unlawfully did exhibit a certain placard on a certain pine, to wit, a box on the race-course of the city of Worcester, whereby it was made to appear that the said box was kept and used for the purpose of making bets on certain horse races, with intent to induce persons to resort to the said box for the purpose of making bets or wagers, contrary to the statute." Witnesses having been called to prove the charge, Mr. Bentley, the defendants' solicitor, said he did not wish to contest the case, and advised his clients to plead guilty. This they did, and after a short consideration the bench said they should only impose a nominal fine of 10s., with costs. Each of the defendants then came forward and paid the fine, and also handed over £5 each to the Wor cester Infirmary amidst loud and general cheering from a crowded couxt.

THE CASE OF LORD SHAFTESBURY'S STEWARD. This case was again brought before the court this morning. The defendant, Robert Short Waters, was formerly steward to the Earl of Shaftesbury, and a charge of embezzlement was preferred against him. The case had been from time to time postponed in consequence of certain Chancery proceeding 3, and on Monday an appli cation was made to the Recorder to discharge the recognizances of the prisoner, as it was not intended to proceed with the prosecution. The learned judge applied to refused to accede to the application, and directed Mr. Lewis, the counsel for the defen dant, to apply when one of her Majesty's judges was present. The defendant this morning surrendered, but no evidence was offered. It was explained to the Gmrt it was not in tended to proceed further against the defendant, as the case rested on a matter of accounts, which were of a very complicated character. Various other reasons existed for the course that was now adopted, and at the close of the present proceedings, it was arranged all matters of law should come to a final close. As no evidence was offered, the defendant was ordered to be discharged. THE OUTRAGE IN THE CITY. Arthur Forrester Smith and Hector Augustus Smith, two boys respectively aged 14 and 12, were indicted for feloniously wounding Mary Ann Nunn, and with intent to resist their lawful apprehension. Mr. Poland, in opening the case, stated at length the evidence against the prisoners, who, it will be recollected, made a desperate attack upon the pro secutor, an aged female, a relative of theirs, with a mallet, who resided in Catherine-court, Seething lane, City. _ _ _ Mr. Collins, who appeared for the prisoners said he could not resist the evidence against prisoners, and therefore they would plead guilty to the charge of assaulting with intent to resist their lawful apprehension. He had to implore the mercy of the court for the prisoners, who had be come involved in their present unfortunate posi tion in consequence of reading some of those cheap and vicious publications,which in the present case showed the unfortunate results they produced in persons of tender age. A verdict of guilty having been recorded, his lordship deferred passing sentence for the present. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. NEWMARKET RACES—THIS DAY. MIDSUMMER STAKES.

Bridget Butler was indicted for feloniously stab bing Agnes Palmer with intent to murler her. The evidence showed that the prisoner had formerly lived with a young man for some consider. able time, and a separation taking place, the pri soner afterwards saw the prosecutrix in company with the man who had left her. A. feeling of jealousy arose, and eventually the prisoner, after watching the parties some time, rushed upon the female and stabbed her with a knife in very serious manner. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty of wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm, and then his lordship sentenced the prisoner to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. THROWING NITRIC ACID. Elizabeth Wood was indicted for maliciously throwing a certain corrosive fluid called nitric acid, with intent to do Brie vous bodily harm. The husband of the prosecutrix kept the Rose and Crown public-house in Wentworth-street, and on one occasion whilst the prosecutrix was sprink ling the bar with water a small portion went over a man who was sleeping there. The prisoner told the prosecutrix not to drown the man, when some angry words were exchanged, and the prisoner, it was alleged, threw the nitric acid over the prosecutrix, which, fortunately, only fell upon her dress, which was destroyed. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and his lordship sentenced the prisoner to 12 months' im prisonment with hard labour.

On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 iis . 10Id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is at about the same price in Paris and London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight was on the last date about 110* percent. At this rate there is scarcely any profit on the importation of gold turn the Vatted states. ~,,, at D." Lou at 1 toi 10 100 1 1081 1
