[PRr.,JE SD. ADRON, onTsmotrrn, SEPT. 16.—8 y the assail which 014 rived yesterday we are put in possession of further highly interesting details respecting the movements of Sir Charles Napier's squadron : " The steam squadron, consisting of the Sidon, 560 horse power, Captain Henderson, with the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier; the Odin, .560 horse power, Captain Pelham ; the Avenger, 650 horse power, Captain Dacres ; the Dragon, 560 horse power, Captain Hall ; the Vixen, 280 horse power, Commander ilyder ; and the Stromboli, 280 horse power, Commander Fisher, went out for trial on the 3d instant. They started in the morning with about the following quantities of coal on board Sidon, 360 360 tons ; Odin, 325 ton; ; Avenger, 400 tons ; Dragon, 340 tons ; Vixen, 340 tons ; Strom boli, 240 tons. Something detained the Avenger in starting, her gear being bent ; that, however, was soon put to rights, and she started, Lnd met the test outside the bar, where a trial of steaming, head to wind, commenced, when it was very doubtful whether the Sidon or Odin was the better sailer. The re maining vessels were slightly beaten. They were then all stopped, when lying in a heavy sea ; the Vixen and Stromboli were signalled to know if they could clear for action. The Stromboli replied, No.' The Vixen might ppr haps have done it, but the superiority of the Sidon over all was unquestionable, in being exceedingly steady and unable to clear ibr action without the least difficulty. Her appearance, too, compared with the Odin, is very superior. She carries eighteen fighting guns, and would without doubt carry even a heavier armament, with the advantage of striking her funnels, thereby enabling her to set a square mainsail, which the other vessels, except the Vixen, are unable to do, besides being able to stow in her hunkers 700 tons of coals. The Dragon is said to be leaky. The Howe, 120, is to leave this to-morrow (the 10th) for Spithead ; and as a steamer will accompany her, it is supp9sed the Dragon will go. The Thetis, 36, Captain Codrington, sailed this morning for the Mediterranean ; anti Sir Charles Napier's squadron, consisting of the three-deckers, St. Vincent and - Queen, the tw)-deekers, Canopus and Vengeance, and all the steamers, are to 'leave Lisbon for a cruize to-morrow, and will perhaps Accompany the Howe some distance, returning in a few days, leaving the Caledonia, 120, and America, 50, with the Jackal iron steamer at this place (Lis hot* which is, although quiet to all appearances, any thing hut settled, the troops net being pail, nor are here any funds in the treasury to pay than with. Great attention is psiid-to SirV4iaPles ias he is said to understand the state o f this unhapi,:irCotiriZ' cry well. The squadron has been exercised at shifting topsail yards, jib-boom, topgallant masts, sails, &c. ; and the Caledonia is in general the smartest, Queeu next, and the others about equal, except the Yen-, ;Tana., which is generally last; but this may be ae .;ounted for by the youth and inexperience of the whole or nine-tenths of her crew." Another letter, dated Lisbon, the Bth instant, says, peaking of the trial of the steamers, which lasted from seven o'clock in the morning un'il four in the afternoon of the 3d : " The Sidon and Odin had the advantage so long as they could keep steam, which they could not do for any length of time ; the others could not consume all their steam, consequently, in a long run, they would come up with the two former. The Sidon is certainly a fine-looking vessel, and appears to float much more buoyantly than any of the other steamers. They came in after the trial, one after the other, in gallant style, against a strong ebb tide ; first, the Sidon, then the Odin, Avenger, Dragon, Vixen, and Stromboli. " On the 4th instant two Portuguese brigs, having the liberated prisoners from Angola on board, arrived. They reported that Bomfin had made his escape on board a merchant ship, but was chased and recaptured by one of our slave cruizers, the Flying Fish. It is supposed he will be given up to the Terrible, which is expected here next week. The Thetis left all quiet at Madeira ; the Recruit, 12, was, however, ordered to remain there at present. "A French steam-frigate, with the broad pendant, and a schooner, left early in the morning of the 7th, and the frigate Armide sailed in the afternoon. There are now left the Iphegenie and a brig; the former is the French Excellent, or gunnery ship; she is a fine double-banked frigate, and exercises her crew at sea instead of, as we do, in harbour. She has been out since we have been here, when we heard the constant roar of her guns booming in the distance. That is the way to acquire proficiency in ship gun nery. " The squadron has been exercised daily since they came here (after refit), shifting either a sail or a spar, reefing, furling, &e., but with the watch only. " A poor fellow belonging to the Avenger was stabbed the other night on shore, and died yesterday morning. "It is signalled that the squadron will proceed to sea on Friday, and is expected to remain out five or six weeks after escorting the Howe as far as Cape Finisterre. Another report among us is, that the Queen, Canopus, and Vengeance, are to have a trial of sailing, and then the squadron will be broken up, when the Admiral will return to Lisbon, where, re port says, he has taken a house for three years. The Caledonia and America do not accompany the squa dron, but remain here, as also a steamer, to bring out the letters which will come by the packet of the 7th from England. There are now lying here, the Bri tish ships of war St. Vincent, Howe, Caledoni,i, 120's; Queen, 110 ; Vengeance and Canopus, 84's ; America, 50; and steamers Sidon, Odin, Avenger, Dragon, Vixen, and Stromboli. French ships of war—one frigate and one brig. Spanish —two fri gates, two corvettes, one brig, and one steamer. Per tuguese—one line-of-battle ship, a frigate, and two corvettes. _ " The Admiral inspected the Howe yesterday. It is rumoured the Vengeance will be sent home shortly and refit for Mediterranean service. " Mr. Oswald, mate of the St. Vincent, died on the sth inst." _ _ The Sealark, 8, Commander R. D. White, sailed last evening for Chatham, to be paid off. The Blazer steam surveying vessel, Commander Henry E. Wingrove, arrived last evening from Cork, bringing a few marines, lately forming part of the battalion serving at Spike Island. She has come here to embark a quantity of surveying stores, which were landed here when she was sent on the relief service to Ireland. She is to resume her station at Harwich under Captain J. Washington. The Fury steam sloop, Commander James Wilcox, went out of harbour this afternoon. The Amphitrite, 25, Captain T. R. Eden, and the Trincomalee, 25, Captain Warren, will be paid to. morrow or Saturday, and sail on Sunday on a trial cruize. The Commander-in-Chief, Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., had appointed to-day for the in-pection of the Trincomalee, but, in consequence of the boisterous state of the weather, has deferred it till to-morrow. Rear-Admiral Robert Bloye, C. 8., died at his re. sidence, King's-terrace, Southsea, on Tuesday night, which sudden circumstance had so powerful an effect upon Mrs. Bloye that she died in thr e e h ours after wards of grief. The gallant retired Rear-Admiral was midshipman of the Marlborough in Howe's action of the glorious Ist of June; commander of the Lyra on the north coast of Spain in 1812 and 1813 ; in active co-operation with the patriots, particularly at the defence of Castro, while serving on shore at the siege of St. Sebastian. Gazetted 1812, 1812, 1813, 1813. (Vide Allyn s Nezn Nary L i st.) His commissions bore date—Lieutenant, October 1800 ; Commander, August 1806 ; Captain, September 1810; retired Rear-Admiral, Ist of October, 1846. --=-------- It is now positively settled that the draughts of Prime, Ward, and Co., on failed houses in this country, will all be protected ; and it is believed that none yet remain to come forward of an y importance es re g ards oftbe protection of which th ere Downton Castle, Ilere ft)trhde' r who propr i trilotir t, o llres. any r with Frances respectdoubti i‘icnig to h t rece ntly possessed of fund e d an d property—which, very y_w hch. independent of freeh o ld s, was valued at 70,0 001 .—has by her will left the plate whi c h o e d had been presented to her late husband by tiff 1 tent learned societies, to be held by her daue.httr, , Mrs. Acton, for her life, and then to su c h son of Sir William Boughton as may come into possession ofthe ley Grange estate, Heref or d , w hi ch Wormes was her late hus band's.

TO VIE LADIES. This lady had the following latter inserted in the "Times" news paper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekiey, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the e2leacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and produotion of hair in Mound ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume Uhl far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact, .—3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ato w drops on the crv,vn of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and arevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few dross on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the test aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing adour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the tollet. In cases of nevoue headache, pour ten or twelve drops n the crown of the head; if v,ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces air oil elilldren's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants' cads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence en the brain as to pro vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.--See pamphlet of testimonials.

Mr. O'Ryan, jun., has published the following re ply to the letter of his father : " Cashel, S ept. 9, 184 7. "TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIPPERARY VINDICATOR. "Sir,—Now that my medical advisers say I may use so much exertion, after my life being despaired of, I hasten to reply to a letter of my unfortunate father, dated Aug. 29 (which I an much surprised you in serted in your columns), containin g a most diabolical charge —a charge deepl y a ff ect i ng my character, again stter,a m and impeaching the reputation and fidelity of an innocent woman, more particularly when his letter was written in prison, where he had been com mitted on a charge the most serious and aggravated, from which he would of necessity exonerate himself, whether right or wrong. I totally and distinctly deny his statements; they are at utter variance with truth. I positively assert that I never did, in thought or deed, commit any act that could justify him in such cruel and unparental violence as he has resorted to. On the night of the melancholy occurrence I repaired to my bed about ten o'clock, labouring under intense agony from toothace and swollen jaw, to which I have been a long time subject. About twelve o'clock Mrs. O'Ryan, on her way to procure a drink for one of her children, having heard me com plain, came into my room (which is quite near my father's) and asked me if she should send for anything to allay the pain, when my father, armed with pistols, rushed into the room, drove Mrs. O'Ryan out, left the room, and locked the door on the outside. I got out of my room, and in some time after proceeded to the door of that in which he was, asked him for the key, and the reason for acting as he had done, when he deliberately fired a pistol at me, inflicting a most dangerous wound. His statement that he had not an argument with me relative to joining him in leases is also untrue, as he did ask me to do a short time since, for the purpose of enabling him to raise money fur his own purposes, which I refused. Ever since he has been most violent in his conduct and treatment towards me. A statement which appeared in some papers, written by a newly-acquired friend of my father's (who gave the Limerick folk reason to think of him), that he (my father) was recently married, and other insinuations reflecting on me, is equally false, as my father married nine years since, and has got two children by said marriage. I could adduce many and strange circumstances to convince the most incredulous of the motives which actuated him to commit this awful crime, but as the matter must undergo legal investigation at the proper time, I crust the press in general will, in justice to me, insert this letter, as they have published that of my unfor tunate parent, and refrain from publishing any fur ther comments on this very deplorable subject. " I am, your very obedient, "FRANCIS O'RYAN, jun."

SOUTII-EASTERN. The twenty-second half-yearly meeting of the proprietors in this company was held yesterday, at the Bridge House Hotel, Southwark. Mr. JAMES M`Gaecon, the Chairman of the Com pany, presided. The SECRETARY read the report. It commenced with the accounts stating that-- "The gross receipts during the half-year ending the 31st of July, 1847, had amounted to 217,8741. 2s. sd. ; that the working expenses had been 62,757/. lls. Bd.; the rent of the Greenwich Railway and the Whitstable Railway, 20,7121. 10s.; the rates, Govern ment duty, and toll of the Croydon Railway, 26,308/. 4s. Bd.; making the expenditure on revenue account, 109,7781. 6s. 4d. The balance carried to the account of profit and loss was 108,0951. 16s. ld. ; and that account showed an amount at the disposal of the pro prietors of 94,2651. 14s. 101 The comparative state ment of passenger traffic for the half-year ending the 31st of July, 1846, and the 31st of July, 1847, showed a total increase of 42,800 passengers in the latter half-year, yielding an increased receipt of 10,4921. The merchandize department of the latter half-year also showed a considerable increase as com pared with 1846. The locomotive department of the line was in a most efficient state. Several branch lines had been opened since the last meeting, and things were generally in a satisfactory state. The extraordinary delay which had taken place in the completion of the Boulogne and Amiens Railway from Abbeville to Boulogne, had been very preju dicial to this company. It was stated that the line from Abbeville to Nesles, six miles from Boulogne, would open in October, and the remainder of the line from Nesles to Boulogne, in January next. The directors hoped that the proprietors of the Boulogne and Amiens Railway would make it their business to aoa that these prospects were realised. The directors would not have ventured to make these remarks had not the South-Eastern proprietors been the parties who subscribed the capital for the formation of the Boulogne and Amiens Company. The company had the power, under the Acts passed during, the last and previous sessions, to borrow the sum of 127,7091., and the directors proposed to submit a resolution authorising them to take loans to that extent. The directors thought it advisable that the proprietors should sanction a resolution authorising them to receive the 12/. per share remaining to be called on the shares created on the 19th of March, 1844, commonly called No. 1 shares, and entitling these shares, when such payment had been made, to rank as paid-up stock, and to take dividend ac cordingly." The reading of the report elicited considerable ap plause. The CHAIRMAN then briefly addressed the meeting, recapitulating the subject-matter of the report, and expressing his gratification that the position of the company's affairs would enable them to pay a divi dend of 21s. on the paid-up shares, 13s. on the No. 1 shares, and Bs. on the No. 2 shares.—(Cheers.) After expressing the continued devotion of the directors to the interests of the proprietors, the Chairman concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. PRITCHARD seconded the motion. A PROPRIETOR urged the necessity of great eco nomy in the present state of the money market, and asked what sum was due in respect to the last call on the No. 4 shares ? The CHAIRMAN, after complimenting the share holders upon the punctuality with which they had met all their vast engagements, stated that the whole amount outstanding on calls of No. 4 shares was 47,858/.—comparatively speaking, he thought a small sum. Another PROPRIETOR inquired when it was likely another call would be made ? The CHAIRMAN said, if the proprietors availed themselves of the advantage of paying up the 121. per share remaining to be called on the No. 1 shares, and if the company could borrow 200,0001. at 5 per cent., it would be a very long time before another call would be made—not this year certainly. Mr. LEVY observed that the shares in this company were not in so bad a state in the market as not to sell for a very fair price, and he suggested that steps should be taken to enforce the payment of the 47,0001. outstanding. The CHAIRMAN thought, under the circumstances, it was not necessary at present. The report was then unanimously agreed to. The CHAIRMAN moved a resolution authorising the declaration of a dividend of 21s. per share on the shares paid up, of 13s. ld. on the shares created on the 19th March, 1844 (No. 1), and of Bs. per share on those created on the 7th November, 1844 (N 0.2), and the payment of the same on the 18th October next. The resolution was unanimously agreed to. The bye-laws of the new branches were subse quently adopted. A resolution empowering the borrowing of 127,7091. was agreed to, as was another authorising the payment of 121. on the No. 1 shares ; and, after the transaction of some routine business, the meeting separated.

In June last a rrangements were made, in connexion of the facilities of a thorough communication to Lon don, by the opening of the Newcastle and Berwick line; and the directors then put on additional trains, in order to give to the public the opportunity of reaching the metropolis in one day from Glasgow. 'These trains are attended with additional expense ; but, desirous to offer the largest accommodation in their power, the directors propose their continuance for the summer months. In the last report your at tention was directed to the proceedings of the Caledo nian in reference to the Scottish Central. The obligation to lease attempted to be hurriedly imposed on the Scot tish Central by the former company, has since been re jected by an overwhelming majority of the Scottish Central shareholders ; and the directors trus► that, under the able and upright guidance of the distin guished nobleman who again occupies the chairman ship of that company, no such attempt to mislead it from its true interest will succeed. An agreement with the Edinburgh and Bathgate Company will be submitted to you, by which it is proposed to apply for powers to convert the perpetual lease of that line into an amalgamation on of the two companies, each 251. share of the Edinburgh and Bathgate being con verted into a half share of Edinburgh and Glasgow, on 21. 10s. premium being paid. As the shares given off by this company to the proprietors are issued at 21. 10s. discount, their shares will just cost them par, or 25/. each. The other line, an arrangement with which you are asked to sanction, is the Wilsontown, Morningside, and Coltness—a continuation of the Edinburgh and Batbgate westward for about thirteen miles—which will bring considerable mineral and other traffic on your line, at the same time effectuall3 securing - cu from any di;-ersien •.-if that flowing fr. - nn the country between it and your main line. terms proposed for your sanction are eight per cent. on a capital of 140,0001., to be wholly paid up by September, 1849." The report, declaring a dividend of six per cent., was unanimously approved of without discussion. Mr. ATTOUN, in moving a vote of thanks to the directors, adverted to the notice given by Mr. at the last general meeting, of his intention to call a special meeting of the company to consider the ques tion of Sunday trains. What he and those who thought with him wanted was, that the directors of this railway should follow the example of the Cale donian directors, by calling a special meeting of the company, without they, the directors, expressing an opinion either one way or another, and with the de cision of such a meeting he and his friends would be quite satisfied. Mr. COWAN, M.P., in seconding the motion of thanks to the directors, said he dissented entirely from Mr. Aytoun's views as to Sabbath observance, although he agreed with him that the question must be settled by the public voice of Scotland. Sir ANDREW AGNEW contended that the opinion not only of the majority of the people of Scotland was in favour of keeping the fourth commandment, but that all evangelical churches in Christendom had it as an integral part of their standards. The CHAIRMAN could not, without consultation with his colleagues, give Mr. Aytoun any answer is to his question regarding the change of opinion which Mr. Aytoun thought might have taken place. He felt that it would be a great relief to have it settled by the proprietors rather than by the directors, in whose hands he understood the matter to rest ; but he was sure Mr. Aytoun would not expect him to give an answer either one way or another at present, to which Mr. Aytoun assented, and here the matter dropped. The meeting then became special, to consider the consolidating of the various stocks into one, and as to the agreement with the Wilsontown and Coltness Railway, when the resolutions proposed by the chair man with the view of sanctioning those propositions were unanimously agreed to.— Witness. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW. The general half-yearly meeting of the share holders of this railway was held on Tuesday, in Glas gow ; Peter Blackburn, Esq.,S;chairman of the com pany, presiding. The SECRETARY read the report of the directors, of which the following is an abstract:— " The directors lay before the proprietors the ba lance-sheet for the half-year ending 31st July, 1847; and although the dividend they can recommend is not so large as they expected, yet they can congratulate the company on an increase of receipts as compared with a similar period last year. The traffic receipts for the half-year ending 31st of July, 1847, were 89,2871. 9s. 6d., showing an increase over the half year ending 31st of July, 1846, of 4,6171. 17s. It must be kept in mind that this increase arises with out any additional mileage being charged on the Edinburgh and Glaagow line, or any increase in the rates per mile, and notwithstanding a complete cessa tion of Union Canal traffic during the month of July, 1846, which added about 1,2001. to the revenue of that half-year. The general depression of trade has also had a large share in preventing a greater increase in the revenue. Some idea of the extent of this may be formed from comparing the number of passengers in each class with those corresponding last year : First. Second. Third. Total. July 31, 1847 48,139 94,182 415,981 558,302 July 31, 1846 50,732 105,812 365,134 521,678 Though the total has increased, it is entirely on the lowest class—the first and second having diminished considerably ; nothing but the general desire to eco nomize can account for this. There is also a charge made against revenue, to which attention is called, viz., 2,979/. 16s. 7d. interest, accumulated on land un settled for since the opening of the line. This should have been a charge against preceding dividends, and might, perhaps with justice, have been spread over some half-years to come. But your directors prefer meeting such charges against revenue at once ; and would only point out this as a deduction equal to one third per cent. dividend for this half-year—a charge which cannot occur again. The balance from revenue to 31st July is £47,034 12 7 To which add balance in hand on 31st January 12,983 2 11 The disposable balance is ... The directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. free of income tax, or 60,017 15 6 ... £52,734 7 6 Leaving a balance to be carried to the credit of next half-year. of ... X 7,283 8 0 On the line and plant Mr. Adie reported that the works on the main line of the railway were all in excellent order, that the Shieldhill branch had lately been opened for the coal trade from the fields into which that line has been carried, and that the Stirling shire Midland Junction branch Lad been let to Mr. Alexander M'Donald, and that the work was to be completed in eighteen months. By the diligent re pair of the engines now in possession of the coroparY , notwithstanding that many of them are too l i ght for en the traffic, the trains had for the last six m opths_bf__ very regularly worked. During- that period, 3 33 _ 2 _ passenger trains had run ; and out of that nu mber _ . V en 3 trains were late to the extent not exc . eedingt minutes-33 to the extent not exceeding fi fteen minutes—and only 41 trains w ere . more than fifteen minutes late-3,16 5 trains having . been punctual, or within five minutes of the proper time. A good stock of second and fourth class carriages had lately been added to the plant, as well as a number of new goods waggons. The directors then remark that it was most satisfactory to be able to state that the trains had run with such regularity during the last six months, and that 558,302 passengers had been carried without a single casualty. Mr. Latham, late secretary of the Manchester and Birmingham line, has been appointed manager. Referring now to the external relations of the company, the directors have to regret the loss of the Bill introduced by them authorising an increase of capital, and the holding of that stock in other lines which was found by them in the company' s p osses . sion. As the Bill was lost, it will be necessary to apply in the next session for powers to raise a certain amount of additional capital. In the meantime, the directors are disposing of all shares held by the coin- GERMAN RAILWAYS. An event, equally important and interesting, is ap pointed to take place in the dominions of the King of Prussia upon the 15th of the next month. That being his Majesty's birthday, all the railroads through out the kingdom which will have been then completd are to be simultaneously opened. A general meeting of the principal railway direc tors of Austria, Prussia, Hanover, Belgium, &c., is to be held in commemoration of this event. _ We understand that our countryman, Lieutenant Waghorn, has been honoured by a special invitation to this most interesting ceremony. It is an appro priate compliment to the enterprise and activity of this gentleman, whose unwearied efforts have had no slight effect in stimulating such at least of these great undertakings as form the overland route from Trieste to Ostend. After the 15th of the next month there will be one connected chain of communication (broken only by a few miles of mountain road over the Semering, between Grata and Vienna) from Ostend to Cilli, about 80 miles from Treste. SCANDALOUS ASSAULT. On Saturday, William Dowling, described as being a watchmaker, residing in Oldham-court, Old ham-street, was summoned to answer a complaint of having assaulted Mr. W. J. Hammond, comedian, and of having used the most insulting language to wards Mrs. Jerrold, mother of Mr. Douglas Jerrold, and the nether-in-law of Mr. Hammond. Mr. Hammond stated the particulars of the case. He said that he was returning home from the theatre on Monday night, shortly after eleven o'clock, ac companied by his wife, his children, his wife's mo ther (Mrs. Jerrold), and Mrs. Bowrirg, an acquaint ance. When he and his party had reached the corner of Commutation-row and Islington, the defendant, who appeared to have been coming towards them from an opposite direction, jostled up against them and took Mrs. Jerrold in his arms. The old lady succeeded in rescuing herself from his grasp, and he then made use of the most indecent and disgust ing language towards her. He then passed on towards Mr. Hammond's wife and children, whereupon Mr. Hammond told him to go about his business. He not only refused to comply with the request, but he repeated the indecent language, and having something in his hand tied up in a handkerchief of a hard sub stance, he struck Mr. Hammond on the cheek, and gave that gentleman a black eye, from the marks of which he had not recovered when giving his evidence in the Court on Saturday. The defendant, in reply, said that on Monday night he was going along Islington with a pair of boots tied up in a handkerchief, and that on turning the corner of Commutation-row, he met a party of ladies and gentlemen, whom he "bounded" against, and, in fact, so sudden was the turn round that he deed not avoid knocking against them. One of the gentlemen gave him a box, and, on his asking w hat that was for, his hat was knocked over his eyes. He defended himself as well as he could, and, in the struggle, he received a stroke of an umbrella, and his hat was knocked to a considerable distance. He was then persuaded to go away, hut the party followed him and got a policeman to take him part of the way to Bridewell, and he was then discharged. Mrs. Bowring corroborated the testimony given by Mr. Hammond, and denied, in the most positive terms, that it was an accidental assault in the first instance. She stated that Mr. Hammond was struck, but that the defendant did not receive a single blow. The defendant called a wit ness, who, however, had not seen the commencement of the assault. larer. walking.

Mrs. Bowring had given so clear an account of it, that no doubt was left on his (Mr. Rushton's) mind that the conduct of the defendant had been very disgraceful. He was ordered to pay a fine of 51., or in default to be imprisoned two months.
