THE WORST MAN IN LONDON.—Francis Jones, a hump-backed man, was charged before Mr. Knox with the following disorderly conduct : Samuel Yeo, 27 C R, said that about one o'clock that morning he was near the County Fire Office, when he heard the prisoner using very threatening language towards some of the unfortunates there, and as he refused to go away, and made use of abusive language, he took him into custody. Mr. Knox asked whether the prisoner was known? Barns, the gaoler of the court, said he had known the prisoner for sixteen years, and when he first knew him he was a bully at a brothel. The pri soner had been charged at that court with following females and getting money from them by threats; he had been charged with stealing a watch, and also with attempting to murder a female by cutting her throat because she would not give him money. The prisoner said that for the last offence he suffered two years' imprisonment. Barns said that on the 10th of last month th.. prisoner was charged at that court with attempting to extort money from and assaulting a gentleman. He had repeatedly been at that _court, and he was the worst man in London. In answer to Mr. Knox, the constable said there was no chance of getting any of the women threat ened last night in attendance, as they were afraid to come. Pool, the assistant gaoler, said the prisoner once received nine weeks' imprisonment for a series of assaults on women near the County Fire Office. Mr. Knox said that as none of the women were in attendance his hands were tied as far as they were concerned, For the disorderly conduct the prisoner would have to pay 405., or a month. WESTAIINsTEn. DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF GOVERNMENT SER VANTS.—AIfred Blake and George Collins, two big, powerful men, were brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with the most disgraceful conduct. William Oliver, 384 B, said that at half-past three yesterday afternoon he was passing through Princes-street, Westminster, when he met the two defendants. Blake immediately said, " Here is a Bobby," and then proceeded to use most filthy language. Witness told him to go away, when Blake immediately attacked him right and left about the face and head. Complainant struck him on the shoulders and back of the head with a truncheon. At this time Collins came up and held complainant, while Blake was striking him, and also tried to take his truncheon from him. Blake was rescued by him, but two other constables coming up he was retaken. Mr. Selfe—What was their condition ? Complainant—Blake was drunk ; the other had been drinking, but knew full well what he was doing. M. Morgans, police-constable, said that when he came up Blake struck him several blows on the aide of the head and kicked him repeatedly. An M.P.'s butler also gave evidence at full length. Ele said that the attack was most disgraceful, and he conduct of the policeman entitled to much com- mendation. Mr. Selfe said there were other nanics of disin terested persons on the police-sheet who had volun teered their testimony for the constables, and he found the defendants were both watchmen at Somer set House. Blake said he was drunk and very sorry; the other denied the charge. Mr. Selfe —The only question on my mind is whether I ought not to send you for trial, but I will take into consideration that you will both lose your situations. It is most disgraceful to find per sons conducting themselves in this way—especially Government servants, and the language used in broad daylight in such a public place is a great aggravation of the offence. Blake you are com mitted for two months:vrithout a fine ; Collins, you are fined 405., or 14 days. Blake—Pray put a fine upon me. I have a wife and three children. Mr. Selfe—You should have thought of them before. ihare T SECURITIXS.

THE BIRD-LIME TlllEF.—Thomas Bush, aged 28 years, and described as an anchor smith, of No. 10, St. Dunstan-road, Stepney, but who is known to the police as the bird-lime thief, was brought up on remand charged with stealing £2 ss. from the Bur dett Tavern, Burdett-road, Limehouse. On Monday afternoon last Mr. H. S. Love, the landlord of the Burdett Tavern, left his bar for a few minutes. At that time there was silver to the amount of £4 on the shelves in the bar. A communication was made to Mr. Love, which induced him to leave his house and run after the prisoner, who was overtaken by him. lie charged him with robbing his till. The prisoner said nothing, but he put his hand behind him, and a quantity of silver fell on the ground. Mr. Love afterwards received 18s, which the by standers picked up. A few shillings was taken from the prisoner. Mr. Love missed 455. from his shelves. A boy, named George Parsons, saw the prisoner remove the silver, piled in heaps of £1 each, from the shelves by means of a stick, the end of which was covered with bird-lime. He called the landlord, and the prisoner fled with his pocket full of stolen silver. Jonathan Goodburn, 163 K, said that he found a box containing bird-lime on the prisoner, who had lately come out of Maidstone Gaol, where he had been confined for a similar offence. The former robbery was committed in a public-house in Plum stead, and by means of birdlime. The prisoner was committed for trial. BOYAR BOTANIC GARDENS, REGENT'S -PARK. Some lino plants of the prickly pear, covered with living cochineal insects, have just arrived at those gardens from Madeira. Both plants and insects are iu a more healthy state than thosegenerally imported; this is no doubt owing to the care with which they were prepared in Madeira and shipped by direction of the donor, Mr. 11. 11. Temple, us suggested by Mr. W. Sowerby, the as istaut-secretary. The specimens are placed iu the Economic-house, so named from its being devoted to tropical plants used in the arts, manufactures, and domestic economy. FAL3IOUTII, Sept.

The half-yearly 'meeting of this company was held at Halstead on Monday-11r. J. Brewster in the chair. An abstract in th 3 report appeared in The Sun. . The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, stated that a dispute between the company and Mr. C. B. Sperling had been referred to their respective soli citors, the result being the acceptance by the com pany of £382 in discharge of their claims against Mr. Sperling. With respect to the revenue balance of £ll2 for the past half-year, the directors pro posed to expend it in repairs at the Haverhill, Hed ingham, and Colne stations ; the balance would have been larger but for the payment out of revenue of landowners' interest and the secretary's salary. With different rates in connection with the Great Eastern system the company would be in a far bet ter position, and the directors were attempting to secure this by arbitration, Captain Tyler, of the Board of Trade, having been appointed mutually by the two companies to decide upon the rates and facilities for traffic. Mr. CARDINALL suggested a renewed application to Parliament for running powers over the Great Eastern Railway to Cambridge. After a brief discussion, the report was adopted, and the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. HERHAI►f AND ALLENDALE. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Allendale on Saturday ; Mr. W. B. Beau mont, M.P., in the chair. The report, which was read by Mr. Bewick, stated that the capital account showed that the total expenditure had been £70,094 and the total receipts £72,661. The total amount of revenue was £1,034. The report was adopted, and the CHAIRMAN hoped that they would be able to open the line for passenger traffic to Catton-road station by the close of the year. The meeting was made special, and the necessary powers were given to the directors to apply to the Board of Trade for an extension of time to make the second section of the line. PI•:MBROIiE AND TENBY. The report of the directors states that the revenue from the line continued most satisfactory, showing an increase of £1,351 over that of the correspond ing six months of last year. They congratulated the shareholders on the extension of the line from Whitland to Carmarthen, and the consequent con nection of the district by the narrow-gauge system with the northern and midland counties. The line had been worked by Messrs. Davies and Roberts in a satisfactory manner during the past six months. The directors proposed a dividend for the past half year at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum upon the ordinary :and preference shares of the company, payable on the 29th inst. The capital account showed that £337,311 had been expended to the 39th of June last, leaving a balance of £5B. I) 1J TC li-RH ENISII.

Tobacco is unusually promising, and if early frosts do not prevent, the crop will be one of the largest and best ever gathered in America. According to the Telegraph there appears to have been a squabble last week at Homburg-on-the-Heights, between a captain of her Majesty's 92d Regiment and a Mr. H., an American. The Telegraph is fond of sensa tional pictures, and its staff are noted for drawing on their imagination, so we accept with a large margin of allowance its statements ot the occurrence. The captain, who sat in the restaurant at dinner, with the American between him and the window, directed the waiter to open it, to which the American who was close to it objected, but the Irish officer insisting, the master of the restaurant was sent for, who endeavoured to satisfy both by keeping the window par tially open. The American, rising from his place, told the Irishman that ho was "a sneak," which Paddy resented by au unexpected blow,which floored the person who thus off hand delivered the oracular opinion on his character. The Telegraph finds fault with the American because ho handed the affair over to the police. Had he taken a carv ing knife and cut the Irishman's throat, he would have acted more in accordance with the traditions of his own country, and answered the expectations of the Telegraph. But the American appears to have been more sensible after, than before he" collided" with the Irishman. Neither appears to have shown " striking" good manners, and we certainly think that the consent of the person sitting next the window should be obtained before that of another in the middle of the room insisted on its being opened or places changed. Argentine Confederation. TIIE NEW LAW ON TELEGRAPIIY IN GI:EAT BRI• TAIN.—The important statute passed at the close of the recent session will, when carried out, create a new system of telegraphy, and establish a uniform charge of " ono shilling" for twenty words to any part of the United Kingdom, and eventually at a more moderate sum. The object of the act is to enable the Postmaster-General to acquire, work, and maintain the electric telegraphs, and the preamble recites the great benefit that v► ill accrue to the public by a cheaper, more widely extended, and more expeditious system than the present insufficient means of communication. The Postmaster-General has entered into various agreements with telegraph and railway com panies for the purchase of their undertakings, and unless Parliament in the next session appropriates means to be at his disposal for the purchase of the same, the agree ments are to be void, and he is to pay the expenses in curred. The Postmaster-General, with the consent of the Treasury, is empowered to purchase. Special arrange ments are to be made with newspaper proprietors and others for the transmission of words at the rate of one shilling per a hundred words, with other conditions. The present servants of telegraph companies will be em ployed by Government or compensated after a length of service. There are various general provisions in the measure which, when adopted, will be of general public benefit. THE NATIONAL PEABODY TESTIMONIAL—The medal ordered by Congress as an acknowledgment of the national appreciation of Mr. George Peabody's liberality in giving a fund to aid the cause of education in the South has been completed. This testimonial cost £5,000 in gold. In design and workmanship it has not boon equalled in America, and connoisseurs assert that it has not been surpassed by the best work of European goldsmiths. It consists of a massive gold plinth, resting on the centre of which is an upright medal, thefront disc of which presents ' an admira , )le profile in bas-relief of tho eminent philan thropist. Leaning over the meth], on the right is a statuette representing Benevolence, who is apparently about to crown Mr. Peabody with a laurel wreath. On the left a clump of palmetto trees rises, their smooth boles twined with parasitic plants, and their flexible branches appearing to wave. At the fo ot of this clump of trees are two children, representing the white and black races, whose attitudes are graceful, their presence con veying the idea of the catholic character of Mr. Peabody's munificent gift. On the front of the plinth, immediately tad.,r the medal, is the shield of the Union, the azure field and the red and white bars being in enamel. On either side of the shield, and directly under the figures we have described as standing on the plinth, are the words " Edu cation," " Benevolence." On the reverse of the medal is a suitable inscription, while scattered about th e pli n th or resting against it are the Bible, moveable globe, wheel, rule, compass, and other objects typical of science and education. The testimonial is enclosed in a beautiful casket of obeny and bird's-eye maple, which is lined with purple velvet.— Net; York Times. i , s. uise, nded &c., 7D21 to L t in 1 to o of the once tiov- L the I be- h of lade con- 'arm ;ides d of uder reat b itS 1 of ;Yen Vast tom 100 the 00 , the 00g ,b 0 foie Of ,101/ Her o 011‘; r log , " O°P fOr ee"
