GREENWICH.

Mr. Frederick Warrick Smith, a general agent, rode*
at Lee, and carrying on basin= at 180, Upper Thames-
street, City, appeared to an adjourned summons before Mr.
Traill.obteined t him by the Royal Society for the Pre.
caution of Cruelty to Animals. which charged him with
having cruelly ill-treated and tortured a dog.
Mr. Henry Catt, of Ivy-lodge, Lewisham, mid that
on flattuvlay, the L3th of October,. between six and seven
o'clock in evening, he was 'tending before the bar of the
Plough Inn, Lewisham, when the defendant and another
person with him came into the house. The defendant,
addressing the landlady, iaidlhe understood his dog was at
the house, and was informed it was. (The dog had been
taken to the home by the police, to be kept until
claimed.) The defendant then asked that the dog
be produced, and the landlady rang the bell and directed
the potman to fetch it, the defendant at the same tune
telling the potman to bring a stick with it, saying he would
three part. murder the animal. The potman brought the
dog, leading it by a thick new rope halter tied to its
but did not bring a stick as directed. The defendant then
took the dog and kicked it in the moot brutal manner six or
eight times upon the neck, shoulders, and ribs, and then
took the halter and struck it 18 or 20 blows over the her 1
and eyes, the dog lying perfeetly powerless before him.
The dog subsequently got up and ran 'gaunt is barrel, sad
in attempting to get away it now to where he (witness) was
standi and laid down by the side of him. Witness put
his hand to the dog, and told defendant it was • most creel
thing to rase a dog as he bad done, and on looking at the
' dog witness observed that one of its eyes was closed and
appealed to be amnia& On leaving the home witness also
maw the person with Mthdant kick the dog
After some farther evidence, Mr. Trill said the defendant
bad been.gullty of most harsh and brutal conduct through
parkin at the dog having left him frequently, but if the
dog possessed say degree of reasoning power such treatment,
Instead el bias likely to make it stay at home, was more
misdated to drive it altogether from his (defendant's)
horns. It was aseemary that dogs and other animals
should be protected from such act. of violence, and the wit-
news who lied some forward in support of the remplaith
had performed a very proper duty. Had it not been for
the character received that day as to the treatment the do
(a valuable bloodhound) generally received from the de-
fendant, be (Mr. Trait') should have felt it his duty to have
ordered a commitment to the House of Correction without
flue, but he still considered it his duty to impose a heavy
due. The defendant was then ordered to pay • ens of 31.
and wets.

The money was instantly Fold, and the defendant left the
court.

THE BOILER EZPLOBION AT 111.bES

PLATTING.

The boiler explosion which warred on Friday
bet at the works of the Laseashire and Yorkshire Beltway
Company, Miles Platting, has unfortunately proved more
fatal in its character than we at first supposed, three of
the injured men having died. On Tnesdsy an inquest was
held on their bodies, before Mr. Z. Herford, city coroner,
at his court, Rid,gfield. The deceased are—Charles
Matthews, Appleton-street, Beswiak, unmarried, aged 30;
James Garner, of Water-street, leaving a wife and four
children; and Henry Sutton Jones, Hamilton-street, Colly-
hunt, aged 28, leaving a wife and two children.
After hearing the evidence, the jury returned a verdict of
" Accidental death."

THI COTTON STINWIRS'Ekinu AT HIIDDIRSTI
—The strike asoapt the hands employed in the various
cotton mills in Hadderafiaid is unhappily on the increase.
The strike resulted primarily from an objection entertained
on the part of several of the masters in the locality to employ
those hands who had formed an alliance with the Oldham
Upton, a society which has only lately begun to exercise de
influeuce in this neighbourhood Delegates from Oldham
and other parts of Lancashire have attended the meetings of
the operatives employed in the various mills, and the con-
duct of the masters a.nd the relative position of tho men
have been freely discussed, the result of which has been that
many of the operatives have left their employ without
notice, and litigation on both idea has been resorted to in
' seesequenee. For several days during the past week the
tome at which hands are still in employ have been sur-
rounded by the "turnouts," and the police have used special
effort, to prevent any breach of the peace by having an
extra force In the affected localitiee • but throughout the
dispute the conduct of the men generally bag been of the
most orderly character; there hoe been nothing calling for
police interference. Tuesday being market day., the bands
oat of employ paraded the streets in procession, bearing
placards, upon which the words "The rights of laborer°
were conspicuously set forth in large type. During the
busiest portion of the day. they paraded In front of the Cloth
Hall, and through the principal streets of the town for two
or three hours, in order to enlist the sympathies of the
inhabitants. About one o'clock they returned quietly to
the club house. The procession consisted of both men,
women, and children, the women taking the lead. Through-
out the route they were most quiet and orderly, and no dir
iroartration, beyond a few hisses, when some of the masters
made their appearance, was made. The masters very libe-
rally offered, at a meeting on Monday evening, to reimburse
the Oldham Union, to the extent of one half the amount
theyhaysptid to the men since they have been out on strike,
on condition that the men would relinquish their connection
with the Oldham Union, and, if they considered it ewes.
soap, from all union on pure and independent grounds.
Whether or not this proposition has been favourably enter
we are not as yet in a position to state ; but we be-
,
UV:ite men are not inclined to give way. Already one
mill Is entirely stopped, and several °thereat* only partially
emAlizid;
SEIPPIIIO.—We have the gratification of
stating that agreeably with our previously expieesed anti-
cipations general activity in steam shipping has gradually
set in. There has been in the past month a good demand
for new and second-hand steamers, and a fair amount of
tonnage has consequently changed bards. Several of our
Mulder, have entered into contra 7. ts for new steamers, and
other contracts are in course of arrangement. Since our last
report also there has been a good demand for freightage.
Steamers both for time ard single voyages hare boon taken
up at remunerative rates. Tonnage is still wanted for the
Lower Baltic and French ports, and for our coasting trades,
so that altogether there is a promising appearance of improved
trade in all quarters.—From the Circular of Messrs. Alfred
Brett and Co.

HOMICIDE IN THE KING'S COUNTT.—The Par-
•Onistoern correspondent of Saunders' News, writing on
Tuesday, says 'At a late hour last night' an of re-
pal reached this town, to the effect that Michael Jones, •
farmer, who had been waylaid and beaten with stones by
three men, near Emrnill, in the barony of Clonlig, in this
county, when on his way home from a dance, at daybreak
on the morning of Sunday, the 7th inst., had just died from
the skull fractures then received. It is stated th.it tw.,
the three men sumectod to have been concerned in the
murder are in custody, but that the principal, whose name
is Donis Dahill, has, apt° this, evaded arrest. An inquest
is bow being held. From the serious nature of the injuries,
the recovery of Jones was pronounced by Dr. Wahh,Clogh-
iordan, from the commencement, to be impossible.
THE SUPPOSED WIWI Muttogn IN DUBLIN.—
Daring Monday and Tuesday, William Gill was on his
trial in Dublin on the chary of murdering his wife, in
August laat, by cutting her throat, at 14, Ormond-street.
The jury returned a verdict of nut guilty, and the prisoner
was discharged. The ground upon which this verdict was
borne to was, that the deceased had committed suicide
while labouring under insanity.
