THE HYDE-PARK DEMONSTRATION.

ON Sunday another crowd gathered in Hyde-park,
but the numbers assembled were much fewer than
on previous occasions, and fortunately no collision or
disturbance took place. This was partly owing to
the absence of carriages or equestrians from the
Drive, and partly to the careful behaviour of the
policemen, very few of whom were indeed allowed to
show themselves in uniform in the park, although a
large body, together with no inconsiderable force of
military, were close at hand in case of emergencies.
Some shouting and speechmaking furnished enter-
tainment to the crowd for an hour or two, and as the
evening advanced the park became clear.
In the course of the afternoon, however, a portion
of the throng overflowed into the Knightsbridge-
road, and thence made their way into Grosvenor-
place, Belgrave-square, and several streets in the
vicinity, where an assault was made upon the lower
windows of the houses, and many hundred panes
smashed. The attack was so sudden and unex-
pected that the police were unprepared, and a quarter
of an hour elapsed before sufficient force could be
gathered to clear the streets, and in that time a large
amount of destruction had been accomplished. Lord
Robert Grosvenor's house, in Park-lane, was also
assailed, and the windows broken. Nor was the
damage confined to aristocratic quarters. Totten-
ham-court road, some streets in Capiden-town, and
other districts, being also the scenes of similar out-
breaks. The actual perpetrators seemed, in almost
all cases, to be young lads ; but among the crowd
were many older persons, some of them of respect•
able appearance, who advised and encouraged them.
The affair, of course, did not end without leaving
a number of prisoners in the hands of the police,
and the investigation of the charges against these
defendants has occupied much time at different
courts, where, in the majority of instances, the pri-
soners were either remanded or held to bail. Two
soldiers, privates in the Grenadier Guards, were
among the persons captured, and charged with
riotous conduct and inciting the mob to commit a
breach of the peace. Various sufferers from the
attack have made affidavits respecting their losses
before the magistrates, with the view of obtaining
compensation from the county funds for the damage
which they had sustained.

MESSRS. STRAHAN, PAUL, AND BATES were again
examined at Bow Street on Wednesday, and remanded
for another week, the progress of the examination
having been impeded bb an nnexpestod &acuity in

identifying the securities of the prosecutor, Dr. Grif-
fith, which have been made away with by the firm.
An urgent attempt to induce the magistrate to admit
the prisoners to bail was unsuccessful. It is said the
trial will take place at the Central Criminal Court, at
the sessions to be held in August next, and Mr.
Edwin James, Q.C., is retained for the defence.
JANES ABRAHAMS, a Polish Jew, who has been for
some time hanging about Dover under circumstances
calculated to excite suspicion, was brought before
the mayor of the town on Thursday, charged with
attempting to induce soldiers of the Foreign Legion,
encamped at Shorncliffe, to desert. Some of the
soldiers were examined, and the prisoner remanded.
There is reason to believe that be is a Russian
agent.

THE assignees of an attorney named Stevens on
Thursday recovered 2181., bill of costs against Lord
Cardigan, as one of the committee of management of
a club which his lordship and others attempted to
establish, to be called the Military, Naval and County
Service Club.
