CHARON OF ASSAULTING TFIE POLICS.—At the Kid-
derminster Police Court, on Saturday last, before Messrs.
W. Haneocks (chairman), 11. Talbot, and E. Morton,
Charles Turley was charged with having on the 17th alt,
assaulted Police-constable Haynes and Joseph Adams,
at the Ball's Head Inn, Cookiey. Mr. Henry Saunders
appeared for the defence, and addressed the Bench with
a view to the cases lacing settled out of court: the ma-
gistrates, however, refusing to allow this course, be
pleaded guilty to both charges, and urged on the Bench
to take a merciful view of the case. They, however, in-
sisted upon going fully into the evidence, and called upon
Adams to state his case first. Joseph Adams said he was
at the sale at the Bull's Head Inn, Cookley, on the 17th
ult. He was outside the inn, and the defendant struck
him and knocked him down, breaking his nose. He
r track him several times. He gave him in charge to
Police-constable Haynes, but lie said he could not take
him unless he saw it done. When he knocked complain-
ant down the second time the constable land hold of him
and said, " Twit game won't do," and be then struck the
consteule. Witne.s had known defendant eight year.;
! had never quarreled with him before, and now bore him
no ill-feeling.—The case of Haynes v. Turley was then
! heard. Police-constable Haynes said he was at the Bull's
! Head on the 17th, about five p.m. The last witness was
! bleeding very ranch at the nose, and requested him to
take Turley into custody. Ile saw the latter strike
Adams in the face; no provocation was given him. He
(Haynes) went to stop Turley from further violence,
when he struck him in the chest and knocked him down.
He got up, and then a brother of Turley (who was con-
victed a fortnight ago for the assault) set on to Adams,
and both attacked the constable, took his handcuffs from
him, and the prisoner went through the canal with them.
He has not had the handcuffs since. He (the constable)
felt the effect of the injuries for some days.—Crosssex-
:mined : In the tussle he pushed the prisoner down the
hill towards the canal. He did not push him in. He
jumped in with the handcuffs in his band, and waded
across the canal. He did not hit the prisoner till lie got
him down.—Mr. Saunders severely cross-examined him
on the evidence of a man named Edwards, who, he saki
swore the constable struck him before this..—The Bench
having retired, on their return the Chairman said the
case was so clear, and so serious a one, that the Bench
had hesitated whether they ought not to send him to pri-
son. They had, however, resolved to fine him if and
17s Gel costs for the assault on Adams; but in the case of
the constable they must fine him ,£3 and 17s 6d costs—
making altogether £5 15s. The money was paid.

years the present committee have had the control of the

FENIANISM IN THE SOUTH OF
IRELAND.

A Cork correspondent writes :—Some hopeful signs
are beginning to show themselves through the gloom
of Irish politics. There are indications of a reaction
amongst the middle classes against the overbearing
dominion of Fenian agitators and sympethieers which
we have had to endure for some time past. In the
town council on Monday Alderman Daniel O'Sullivan,
our famous ex-mayor, had a motion to vote £l.OO out
of the public funds for the families of the Fenian pri-
acners, and from the tenour of things lately it was
believed a few days ago that no one would venture
to oppose the proposal, thou_h it was admit'ed
that the intended appropriation of the money
was perfectly illegal. However, the result of
the Tipperary election seems to have brought people to
a sense of the danger of allowing these things to go by
default any longer, and when Alderman 0 Sullivan
rose to move his resolution, he found the whole
council against him. The motion aid not fiad
seconder, but, on the contrary, met with strong and
out-spoken opposition from Mr. D. A. Nagle and other
members, who refused to appropriate public money to '
an illegal purpose. The alderman expressed great
disgust at the unpatriotic spirit of the council. At the
same meeting an amusing scene took place. A deputa-
tion waited on the council to request the removal of an
unsightly hoarding in one of toe principal thorough•
fares in the city. It was generally admitted that the
request was a reasonable one; but Mr. O'Sullivan,
having ascertained that two or three of the deputation
were Conservatives, rose and solemnly declared that
the council should grant no "concession" to the Con-
servative party, He moved that the hoarding be not
removed. The farce convulsed the assembly.

RAILWAY DANGERS.

An illustration of the manifold dangers of railway travel-
ling as now conducted, is given in the following letter from
Sir Charles Anderson, Bart.
On the line of railway from Penistan to Cleethorpes
there is &large bridge crossing the river Trent, between
Gunhouse and Keadby. A portion of the bridge in
moveable, revolving horizontally on one of the piers
which support the bridge, so as to form two openings
on either side the pier, for brigs and sloops, having
fixed masts to pass through. Oa November 2 a pas-
sourer train was coming from Doncaster to Barnetby,
and drew up, as is customszy, on the river bank. A
vessel had just been passing, and the moveable portion
of the bridge had not lieen closed. By acme strange care-
lessness the train was allowed to move on, and bad not
the engine-driver put the break on and stopped
the train in hall a minute it would have been precipi-
tated into the boiling tide below, when every soul
must have perished. The train afterwards moved over,
its inmates unconscious of their hair-breadth escape.
The circumstance would in all probability have been
kept dark, had not a friend of mine, hearing rumours,
inquired into the case, and communicated with the
Board of Trade, who sent down an official to investi-
gate the matter. lam informed that some rules have
since been made to ensnre greater care when trains
pass the bridge; but I think it desirable that the at-
teetion of the publ:c should be called to the subject ;
first, because this is the only very large bridge in Eng-
land having an opening for vessels, and therefore re-
quiring the greatest possible care; and, secondly, be-
cause, however good rules may be, the watchful eyes
of the public are the best security for their observance.

THE IRON TRADE.

WOLVERHAMPTON, Wednesday.
The trade to-day was quiet. Masters were
not upon ',..lhange in large numbers, and those
who were there were unable to report activity In
the demand ; hence they would not commence
negotiations for pigs, even though some of thew
are not overstocked. New transictions are
checked by the recent advances, alike in finished
and pig.iron. Very little importance) is attached
to the movement a certain of the thin-coal col.
liers on the Dudley side, though it was much
discussed. The agitation is believed to be of
only partial application.

There is no new feature in the iron trade so
far as this district is concerned. The brokers
Wed very hard to do business at the Binning.
hum Exchange, on Thursday, but there is a gen.
oral disposition to hold off new engagements ; in
fact, the really buying class were but a very
small section of the large number of persons in
the Exchange. In the course of the week some
of the principal makers have received orders by
letter, Of course those are placed at the ad.
vauce ; but it is quite certain that a good quan-
tity of the finished iron now being sent out is
at the old rates; and there are many makers
whom necessity will, for a time, at Inset, compel
to take fresh orders at little, if any, advance, on
the old prices; but notwithstanding this, it is
, fair to state that thlsa who rank among the
h ads of the trade bay.: not abated confidence
that u great improvemant in the demand will,
! b fore very long, be experienced. We rather
! incline to the onion that there will be found to
! have been come miscalculation in this respect,
' and that there will not he any flush of orders,
but a progressive increase in the demand.
Pig-irou is in fair sale, at a little advance on
Quarter-day prices—that is, for hest qaalities.
. .

•
The mojea-mut on the part of the thin-coal
men has ca.ne upon thit branch of the trade as
a surpri.e. The general opinion is that nothing
will co no of it; bat after recent events it is
impossible to say what may or may not take
place.

A TAX ON FIRE-ARMS.

Mr. Grantley F. Berkeley has sent the following
letter for publication
As a magistrate of long standing and a constant resident
in the country, on the ground of humanity as well as on that
of financial utility, I can advocate a tax on fire-arms. A tax
of this description would chiefly fall on a class well able to
bear it, and be no hardship on the labouring man, because
he, with all advantage to himself, could legally avoid it.
Out of the many instances on Christmas Day of the en-
dangerment of human life that have come under my personal
notice. I select the following.
On Christmas Day as well as on Sundays the men and boys
of almost everyrural locality render the roads and lanes ob-
scenely dangerous by the discharge of tire-arms at every
innocent bird that is unfortunate enough to come within their
reach. It so happened that on one of these days my head
gamekeeper heard the report of a gun within the gelds, to
which he immediately paid attention. On elite up he heard
the voice of a rustic boy from beneath a hedge, as if address-
ing something, so he crept to the spot, and the following
scene presented itself.
A young lad was seated on the edge of a ditch, with an old
single eon resting on his knees, about six inches from the
muzzle of which the last discharge had bursted au aperture
sufficient tor the admission of five Huger..
The boy a as angrily twisting some twine round the barrel
and over the vent, vs hich had burst beneath the recent dis-
charge, while he thus apostrophized his weapon and ammuni-
tion, grinning vigorously while he did so at the yawning vent
he was essaying to mend :
" Deng thee eyes on thee, thou shashent Come out thick
way nein ; I'll zee to that?"
The age of the boy was from eight to nine years, and my
keeper obviated the chance of any further danger by seizing
the gun and bringing it to me, an addition to the minimums
of my museum.

QIJOD WIELIIIS.

Perhaps, some time hence, in hot weather, Poor
Law Guardians will advertise for tenders to supply
workhouses with ice. Chocolate and sardines will be
allowed for breakfast, good sound claret will be the
ordinary beverage at dinner, and there will be a
smoking-room where those who like can have a cigar
with seltzer-water and brandy afterwards. On
Christmas day and other high festivals, mock-turtle
SOUP will be replaced with real—in the richer unions. c
There is no saying how comfortable workhouses will
not be made when people in general shall really come to
love their neighbour as themselves--out of Church.
In the meantime a ticket•of-leave man goes before a
Magistrate at Greenwich, and charges himself with
having broken the conditions of his licence by not re-
vorting hiuiself monthly to the police. Let out of
Bidlbank he had first gone to sea, then had travelled
all over the country, seeking work and finding none.
Threatened with starvation, he had before him the

LANDOWNERS AND OCCUPIERS.

The Rev. Prebendary Brereton, of Norfolk, has
been lecturing before the farmers of North Devon on
"Owners and Occupiers." He insisted on the policy
and justice of leases, and compensation for damage
done by game. It was unreasonable, he said, to ex-
pect a tenant farmer, who held his estate upon an un-
certain tenure, to expend capital and skill in culture;
and the fact was alike injurious to both, as well as the
community at large. The Duke of Rutland's plan
was to reserve from his rental a sufficient fund to
meet all claims for compensation, and by these claims
he secures the certainty and sufficiency of his
rent. It was really not an extravagant sup-
position that a similar reserve fund might be
formed by agreement among many various owners
and occupiers from their aggregate rental for
the single purpose of meeting claims for com-
pensation as they might arise, without subjecting
individuals to the inconvenience of having to pay
lump sums beyond their calculation, and perhaps
at unexpected times. He did not presume to form an
opinion as to what percentage on the rental would be
required to be reserved for this purpose. This would
depend partly on the number of acres to be combined,
partly on the number of years over which the charges
for compensation would be spread, partly on the
average aim nut of the improvements that would be
recognised. He should be told that all this was already
provided for by existing arrangements, that already
responsible tenants were to be found who had no diffi-
culty in paying outgoing tenants for all reasonable
claims whenever the landlord himself was not willing
or aide to make the compensation. He could only say
his own observation, limited as he acknowledged it to
be, testified to the contrary.

THE IRON TRADE.

NVOLVERHAMPTON, IrobleiJrty.

The attendance of ironmasters on 'Change
hero to-day was not numerous. The reports,
however, brought in from the works by those
who conducted the business was to the effect
that, taking the district through, a steady trade
is being done in most of the kinds of finished
iron for which South Staffordshire and East
Worcestershire are in repute. Prices are, never-
theless, still a cause of complaint, because of
the small remuneration they leave to masters ;
so great is still the competition for the different
orders that find their way to this market.

The South Staffordshire iron trade is mode-
rately well sustained, although we have now en-
tered on what is usually regarded as the flattest
period of the year. The weekly gathering at
the Birmingham Exchange, on Thursday, was
but thinly attended, and the tone of the trade
was certainly not less cheerful than of late.
The pig-iron trade remains about as last repor-
ted. The quarterly meetings will be held next
' week—the principal gathering being fixed for
Thursday, the 14th instant, in the Birmingham
Town Hall.

THE VACANT BISHOPRICS.

The Evelang Remillard says :—" Nearly ill the
statements published se to the filling vacancies ,
in the several bishoprics are premature. In all
eases where a bishopric has been offered the
clergymen has been asked to signify his consent
to be raised to the episcopate, the distribution of
secs being reserved. The Rev. J. R. Jdatikar•
nese, Lord Arthur Hervey, the Rev. Dr. Tem.
pie, the Rev. R. W. Church, and the Rev. Dr,
Miller have been selected for office. The Bishop
of Oxford only consented to the translation to
Winchesterafter much urging and consideration,
and we believe does so reluctantly. The changes
in the various sees will probably involve the
translation of the Bishop of Gloucester and
Bristol.

ILLEGAL TIPPLING.

In London, Thomas Digby, a labourer, has been
summoned by order of the Commissioners of Police,
under the new Act for regulating beerhouses, passed
last Session, for unlawfully purchasing beer and drink.
ing the same in the Wiltshire Lamb heed:mum, Union-
street, on Sunday morning, during prohibited hours,
the landlord, Samuel Floris, having been convicted for
supplying him.
Sergeant Capon, said that on Sunday morning fort-
night, at eleven o'clock, lie visited the Wiltshire Lamb
berrhome, and saw several men drinking beer from
pewter pots in a room at the back of the bar, among
whom was the defendant. He took their names and
addresses, and the landlord was summoned and con-
victed for keeping his house openduring the prohibited
hours. Proceedings were ordered by the Commissioners
of Police to be taken against the defendant and the
other men, but the latter had given false addresses.
The defendant admitted going into the house with
two or three fellow-workmen to bid good-bye to a
young man who was going the next day to Liberia.
He did not know there was any harm in it, or that he
was breaking the law.
The magistrate observed that this was the first
summons brought before him under the new act
passed last Session, and he must say it was a very
proper and necessary Act, rendering persons liable to
penalties for drinking in publichousea and beershops
when the landlord had been convicted for keeping the
; house open during the prohibited hours. As it was the
first case brought before him under the new Act he
should not put the provisions in full force this time ;
, he should merely order him to pay the costs, but on
any future occasion where the cases were fully proved
he should enforce penalties.

THE EUROPEAN ASSURANCE
COMPANY.
...

The affairs of the European Assurance Company
came before Vice-Chancellor James on Saturday, the
motion being on the part of Mr. Crawford—a director,
shareholder, and policy-holder, and the petitioner for
winding up the company— for a preliminary inspection
of the books and papers. The Vice-Chancellor, after
hearing the arguments on both sides, considered that
there was no precedent for granting such a request,
and it would be hard upon companies if a shareholder
was of right entitled to the production of books and
papers. Ile therefore refused the order. It was
arranged, after some discus-ion, that the petition for
winding up should be heard on Wednesday in next
week.
At the conclusion of the proceedings on the re-
ferred to, Mr. Glasse, on behalf of the company, moved
that the publisher of The Times should be called upon
to show cause why he should not be committed for con-
tempt for having published libellous comments on the
osairs of the company in the City article of that paper.
Mr. Wood, who appeared on behalf of the publisher,
juatified the comments in question, on the ground that
they were based on statements issued by the company,
and under such circumstances no contempt of court
had, he contended, been committed. His Honour,
however, looked upon the attempt at justification as
an addition to the original fault, and he deprecated
such an interference with matters pending litigation as
that complained of.—The learned counsel for The Times
thereupon exprenseil regret at the publication, under-
took that it should not be repeated, and the matter
dropped.
