THE NIIEFFIRLD COMMIRSION.

Reviewing the evidence taken by the Sheffield
Commission, the Trines finds it perfectly clear that " trade
ontrsges " are beyond any question the work of Trades'
Unions—that is to say, they were perpetrated by Union
men, at the instance of • Union officer, for Union pur-
poses, at the expense of Union funds. The Tines fear., too,
that the officers of some of these Unions must be charged
with • species of connivance, for it is hardly credible
that they could have been blind, except of wilful
purpose, to the abstraction of their money. The
great body of Unionists must, it is evident, have
been well aware of the intimidation and coercion
practised in the trade, but there is nothing to show
that they approved or patronised murder. The Defence
Committee, indeed, which was formed to watch the pro-
ceedings on behalf of the Unions, withdrew from its posi•
tion in astonishment and disgust as soon as these revela-
tions began, and Mr. William Broadhead, on leaving the
court after his first confessions, was only saved by an
escort of police from the anger of the mob. But if Shef-
field desires to retain any particle of character in the eyes
of England, ite artisans should lose no time in distinctly
repudiating and denouncing • system which has never
yet been naturalised in this country, and which would
cover with infamy the most savage community in the
world.

The Star thinks we should remember that evidence of
this kind is not, strictly speaking, evidence against trades'
unions, and that, at least till the commissioners have re-
ported to that effect, there is not even respectable autho-
rity for deeming these associations utterly condemned by
the confessions Broadhead and his instruments hum made.
The connection of the two subjects was questioned when
the commission we, appointed. In any case legislation
intended to put down trades' unions by arbitrary enact-
ments, or even to make them powerless by stringent
hampering resolutions, will aggravate rather than correct
the evils we are now all denouncing. If this deplorable
tendency to violence and assassination is now checked, as
wo cannot doubt it will be, what will have accomplished it
Publicity. To draw the right moral from the Sheffield
events we must see that there is great danger in encourag-
ing any class to consider itaclf brutal and beyond the pale
of social sympathy.

THE NAVAL REVIEW OPP PORTSMOUTH.

PORTSMOUTH, Just 23.
The latest intelligence with respect to the pro-
posed naval review at Spithead in the presence of the
Sultan of Turkey is that that event will take place on
Wednesday, the 17th of J uly, and not on Tuesday, the 16th,
the time originally named. Pending this decision of
course no particulars as to the arrangements of the Admi-
ralty could be obtained, for the simple reason that no
definite conclusion could be arrived at. It is certain, I
however, that all the iron-clads sufficiently ready to be
commissioned will be pressed into the service, as well asl
the ships of the coast guard and the gunboats
in the first division of steam reserve at Ports-
mouth, Plymouth, and other ports. It is probable that
the Victoria, screw three-decker, which is now anchored"
'at Spithead, will carry the flag of Admiral Sir Thome'.
Pesky, as senior officer, although the movements of the
fleet will be under the general direction of the Lords Com-
missioners of the Admiralty. The Duncan, the finest two-
decker in the service, and recently employed as the flag-
ship of Admiral Sir James Hops on the North American
and West Indian station, is underonlers to come round from
Sheerness to Spithead, where the fleet will assemble about
the 7th proximo. The Valiant, iron screw ship, has been
brought down the harbour and placed alongside the dock-
' yard to receive her stores, kc., and the llersey,4o, wooden
sewa frigate, is also to be hi ought forward and can miasioned
pro kin. by Captain H. Hillyar, C. 8., late of the Resis-
tanoe, just paid off. The °Meier' and crew of the Black
Prince, iron-clad frigate, have been turned over to the
Warrior, 40, iron-clad frigate, which, after the review,
will be stationed on the coast of Ireland ; and the Black
Prince will also receive a supernumerary crew for the spe-
cial service of the review, and will in all probability be
commanded by Captain Fellowes, of the Duke of Wel-
lington. The Dauntless, 32, wooden screw frigate, Cap-
tain von Dollop, left Leith Roads on Saturday week for
the Orkney and Shetland Islands, but is under orders to
be at Spithead about the 3rd of July. The corpora-
tion and civilians of Portsmouth have deter-
mined to give as much idol to the event as pos-
sible, and for that purpose committees of the
Town Council and of the inhabitants have been
elected to collect subscriptions, and to frame a pro-
gramme of the part which the borough is to play on the
occasion. A grand stand is to be erected on South-
sea.oommon, and there is talk of a dejeuner, banquet, or
ball, to be given in honour of the Sultan, but the precise
form of this compliment of course depends upon the
arrangements which have been made by other and higher
authorities for the entertainment of his imperial highness.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKET&

MARK-LANE.—(TIIIB DAY.)
The supply of English wheat on isle at oar market to-
day was moderate. The good extent of last week's import►-
tion of wheat and flour and the fineneu of the weather
produced much inactivity in the trade, yet very ►ittle
change took place in pries. The tendency of the market,
however, was decidedly towards easier quotations.
Foreign wheat was ra moderate supply, and slow re-
gout. The aggregate business transacted was area. In
prince there was no alteration.

Barlwas in moderate demand at late rates. The sup-
ply of English produce was small ;of foreign moderate.
The malt trade was dull, at drooping currencies.
Oats were in good supply. Russian descriptions, ex ship,
were rather cheaper, but in other respects the quotations
were unaltered.

For beans there was little inquiry, and notwithstanding
their comparative scarcity prenous rates were barely sup-
_
ported. . . . .

Peas were a slow sale, but not quotably cheaper. In
seeds and cake. there was little passing on former terms.
The flour trade was heavy, but we have no change to re-
port in prices.
With few arrivals reported at the various porta of call
and the limited choice of all kinds of grain, the floating
cargo trade has been inactive during the week, and the
amount of business passing has been limited. There has
been • fair demand for fine cargoes of wheat, and
for such an advance of 6d. on previous quota-
tions was readily paid. In cargoes on emealle
or for shipment there has been little activity, and
prices tend downwards. We quote Ghirka Odessa arrived,
58a. 6d. to 60e. ; Ghirka Nicolideff, 605. ' • Polish Odessa,
61s. ; Banat, to be shipped, 41s. 9d. to Me. lid. There
was a fair demand for Main), at the commencement of the
week, but subsequently there were few inquiriee, and the
quotations show • decline of 6d. Mixed American has
changed hands at 38e. 6d. In the absence of any
transactions the value for barley arrived must be
considered nominal. Cargoes on passage and to be shipped,
are in request at extreme rates. Danubian on mirage
sold at 295. 3d. per 4001 M. Rye has been neglected, and
no sales have been reported. The current quotation for
Danubian or Azov on passage is 345. There is but a short
supply of beans on offer, nevertheless late rates bad not
been maintained. Mixed American on plumage realised
35a. sd. ; Behared, 36e. per 4801 be. There have been no
fresh arrivals of linseed, and the demand for seed
on passage has much decreesed ; prices consequently
have receded 2s. to Is., and even at this reduction par-
chasers seem little disposed to operate. Calcutta to be
shipped, 62.5. to 625. 6d. ; Black Bea and Azov, 62a. Gd.
Rapeseed meets • dull inquiry, and the prime rule easier.
We quote Ferozepore, arrived, 51s. ; Calcutta, 48e. 9d.
ditto, to be shipped, 46e. to rak. 3d. Only one cargo of
cottonseed has arrived, which changed hand on fall terms.

HOW PEOPLE ARE KILLED IN THE PUBLIC STREEIR:

ham: •as brought before Mr. I'aget, charged with furiowlY
driving a horse and cart and running down an old luau
named William Field.

• police-constable, No. 661 A,
I put in a certificate from the house-surgeon cot
the London Hospital, stating that Field was severely
i injured and was n danger. He ought to state that after
the prisoner had run over the old man he drove away at •
' most furious speed and attempted to make his escape, and
that it was with difficulty his horse was stopped.
James Poole. a carman, of No. ?A, Gower's-walk, was
in Whitechapel, at the corner of Leman-street, oo Satur-
day night, and saw the prisoner driving rapidly along the
High-street and run down an old gentleman who was
crossing the street. The horse struck the gentleman, and
he fell, and the wheels grazed his head and body. The
prisoner did not get out of his cart, but after a mob had
collected about the injured man and raised him be drove
off at full speed along Commercial-street, towards BMW.

The prisoner—Was not a woman leading the old gentle.
man acmes the road?
Witness—No.
The prisoner—Yes, he was being led. I ear an old
woman was leading him, and she called out " Oh r and
drooped hini.
Witness—No each thing.
The prisoner—Directly he fell I palled up.
Witness—Yes,you did, and then drove away very rapidly.
at police-constable said there was no name and address
on the prisoner's cart, and the only address be gave was
Clapham.
The prisoner said be had no objection to pay a small fine,
or to allow the old man he had run down a weekly allow-
ance for a month.
Mr. Paget—No, the case will not be treated in that light
manlier. It is one of more serious import. l'eople are
not to be ran down in the public streets by persons driv.
ing recklessly or carelessly.
The prisoner—He was an old man.
Mr. Paget—Then you ought to have taken more care.
Old men have as much right to walk the streets as young
ones.

The prisoner repeated his request to pay a small fine,
and
Mr. Paget said he could not entertain much an absurd
proposition. He remanded the prisons: for a week.

THE POLICE COURT&

MARYLEBONE.

Charles Barnes, 38, Lea-road, Lea, a contractor, was
charged with indecently assaulting Elizabeth Westerly,
aged 14, in a carriage on the Metropolitan Railway.
The girl and the prisoner were in one compartment of •
third-class carriage alone. The man asked her to sit by
him, which she did. Ile then began to kiss her and take
liberties with her, which she did not resist, but when he
went on further, she screamed loudly, and seized him by
the hair of his head. The guard, who was in the next
compartment, got into the carriage with the man and the
girl, and protected the latter.
Mr. Johnson, who appeared for the defendant, said it
was evident that up to a certain point the girl had been a
consenting party, and he believed that if she had not seen
the guard looking at them she would not have screamed.
He thought it was a case which would admit of being
dealt with by the magistrate instead of being sent for trial.
Mansfield said the case must go for trial. It rested
upon the evidence of the guard, who bad behaved in a
proper manner in protecting the girl. He consented to
take bail for the offence, the prisoner himself in 1001., and
.two sureties in 00/. each.

CRYSTAL PALACE.

The usual aeries of the excellent Saturday con-
certs at this establishment terminated on April 13, since
when, however, two extra soneerts have been given, at the
first of which {on Saturday week) Mendelseohn's " Lob-
geeing "(Hymn of Praise) was the chief feature; while
the concert of Saturday last brought forward en impor-
tant and interesting novelty—a pianoforte concerto
by Mr. Benedict, performed for the fin* time
on this occasion by Madams Arabella Goddard.
The work is extremely difficult to execute ; but, as there
is scarcely a page that does notcontain passages calculated
to interest as well as to improve the player, it forms a most
valuable study. 0(16 execution by Madame Goddard It
would be impossible to speak in too high terms—the an.
erring certainty of finger, the combination of masculine
power with feminine delicacy of touch, the perfect finish
of every passage, with the distinct phrasing throughout,
and the graceful expression thrown into the slow move-
ment, constituted a performance of a moat remarkable
order. Loud and prolonged applause was bestowed both
on the player and the composer, who conducted the work
himself—Mr. Manna presiding, as usual, over the other por
Lions of the concert,which included an admirably finished
performance of Bethoven's symphony in A (N 0.7 ). The vocal-
ist. were Misses Edith Wynne and Bramer,and Mr.Wiliord
Morgan ; the first-named lady having taken higher ground
than usual by her excellent reading of the great dramatic
seem, " Softly sighs," from Der Freysekottr, which was
repeated from the prayer movement. On Saturday next
the usual series of " Opera concerts" will commence.

Herr Jaell, the eminent pianist, has just arrived,
and will perform for the first time this season on Tuesday
next, at Mr. Austin's concert, at St. James's•ball. Mr.
Austin, who is much esteemed by artists and visitors for
his efficient management of the concert arrangements at
thin establishment, has also secured the co-operation of
Madame Maria Tilde and Mr. Suns Reeves, besides other
artists of eminence.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

Ivor OUR OWN CORRESPONDINT.)
PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.

The Opinion Nationale, whose editor, M. Gue-
roult, is one of the deputies for Paris, says of the
scene in the Corps Legislatif, yesterday, when M.
Schneider read M. Rouher's letter :
The government communication throws no ray of light
on the obscurity which oppresses us. M. Rooker told us
nothing more than what we knew a fortnight ago, that
the neutral powers have taken the initiative of propositions
tending to the maintenance of peace. Uncertainty, there-
fore, subsists. The Minister of State's letter is neither
rose-coloured, black, clear, obscure, pacific, nor warlike. It
appears to us evident, after reading and re-reading it,
that the government had no other object than to speak
while saying nothing, and to furnish the bureaus a plau-
sible pretest for refusing M. Jules Favre's interpellations.
_ .

After referring to the rumours of a congress, and
the rise at the Bourse yesterday, M. Gu6roult's
journal says:

We are of opinion that if things were in such an ad-
vanced state as people say, and if the situation were so
well defined as the optimists at the Bourse pretend, the
government might without inconvenience have given much
fuller explanations of the new phase in which the Luxem-
burg question has entered. The extreme reserve main-
tained, is, for us, a proof that • pesosful solution is by
no means so certain as speculators in the funds suppose.
It is right to st►te that the Opinion Nationale
belongs to the war party, which is furious at the
prospect of the settlement of the Luxemburg ques-
tion without throat cutting. I happened quite un-
wittingly to hear a marshal of France say yes-
terday to a group of generals, " The news
is true ! We are giving way" (c'eat tote remlade).
The meaning of these few words was that the
speaker was supremely dissatisfied with the sugges-
tion that Prussia would withdraw from Luxemburg
if that sacrifice would induce France to make an
engagement, with the great powers for witnesses, to
think no more of removing her neighbours' land-
marks, and disclaim all idea of annexing Belgium
and the Rhine. The generals, addressed by their
superiors to the effect above stated, responded in
an animated chorus—" This will never do
for us; France has always been invincible:
the Chambers—the country—must be roused and
we must make no terms whatever." Such is, no
doubt, the wild, the wicked, the bloodthirsty feel-
ing in military circles. The Emperor is, however,
strong enough to repress this feeling if ho will.
But the peril is that his views of his dynastic into.
rests, with the general elections of 1869 coming on,
may look to glory as the only means of stifling
liberty.
The LibertA is of opinion that the conference will
break down in tionne, because Prussia will not eva-
cuate the fortress of Luxemburg before the negotia-
tions begin, and that France will not consent to
negotiate so long as a Prussian garrison remains in
Luxemburg without "a shadow of right." I take
upon myself to say at once that if the difference
turns on this point France must give way, or there

THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY.

If the statement just issued by the committee of inves-
tigation is to be accepted without qualification, the Times
thinks the perversity of the management is ►lmost in-
credible. During the last nine years the capital—the sum
on which interest has to be provided—was more than
doubled, while the receipts, out of which the interest
was to come, were little greater than before. It is
without much surprise, therefore, that we find the
company's stock, which had been at 2 premium in
January, Utti6, standing at 13 discount in January,
1867, and at 40 discount just now. The present quota-
tions, however, must indicate panic rather than disparage-
ment. The company it is clear has been half ruined by
profitless extensions, and the perversity with which the
directon have pursued, through a tortuous and costly
course, a policy which was only calculated, according to all
presumption, to damage rather than enhance the profits of
the line, is inexplicable. There might have been some
defence for the directors' lines, as they have been termed,
if they had been for the advantage of the oompany, but
the dissentient shareholders declare that the pro-
posed branches would be utterly useless, not to say
worse. Of the Surrey and Sussex Sir Charles Jackson
asserted that it would actually compete with the
company's own property, " would make the fifth line to
Tunbridge-wells, and render their own line from the
Three Bridges to Tunbridge-wells almost worthless."
According, therefore, to this description of affairs, the
Brighton ahareholders, with a millstone of obligations
round their necks already, were expected to take upon
their shoulders fresh liabilities, with no other result than
the curtailment of their existing income. Many a board
has been bullied into buying up a hostile line as the
beet thing that could be done, but the Brighton
board is charged with creating the lines first,
in order to buy them up afterwards. With
another reminder that the statement, though com-
ing from able and experienced inquirers, is still one-sided,
the Tina concludes with quoting the whole story as
another proof of the insufficiency of railway accounts as at
present given to " the world." We learn only half the

THE REFORM DISCUSSION.

The Daily News says that the course of public opinion
during the recess hu very mach disappointed those who
voted against Mr. Gladstone's proposal. The " instinct"
of an enlightened public opinion has perceived that the
cry of household suffrage is but a mockery. If all the
amendments which radical genius has hitherto devised
were carried ea bloc, the bill would not thereby be made
a household suffrage bill u long as the personal rating
clause is unreseinded. The best and most important of
the number is that of Mr. Hibbert ; but, as a contempo-
rary him shown, it gives the compounding landlord a pe-
cuniary motive for stipulating, as he would be certain to
do, that the tenant shall not claim to vote in right of his
house. Of course, if Mr. Disraeli, satisfied with having
gained a victory on personal rating, is ready virtually to
give it up, the bill may be made • good one, and the
real liberals of the House of Commons should earseatly
try to amend it ; but if personal rating is retained
there will be an invidious distinction between two classes
of borough electors more irritating than the old honest
denial of the suffrage by the tones.

DONKEY 11.11)1140.

Several men were charged with cruelty to donkeys. It
was stated that Clapham-common was never so full of per-
eons as it was yesterday, Good Friday, and the donkeys
were driven, without intermission, for several hour',
during which time the poor creatures were beaten severely
with sticks to urge them on to complete the ride, the
sooner to obtain more riders. This kind of brutality was
carried on for some time when the officer could not bear it
any longer, and he took the men into custody.
The defendants denied injuring the donkeys, and in-
vited the magistrate to inspect them,
Mr. Cayman refused and said if the prisoners would act
so much like brutes it was right that persons were pre.
sent to watch them. He then inflicted penalties of 10s.
in each case.

THE POLICE COURTS.

(THIS DAY.)

MANSION HOUSE.
ROBBING LETTER-BOXEM.
John Beniol , a respectably dressed young man, again ap-
Clrlbefore Mr. Alderman Begley, on remand, on the
oiling charge.
About a week ago, at 10 o'clock at night, a City police-
man named Carroll, on duty in Wood-street, mw the
prisoner put his band into two letter-boxes, and
watching him again, saw his band in Mr. Foster's
letter-box in l'heapside, and in • letter-box in
Bow-lane. Ile took him into custody, and among
other articles found timm him were two legal docu-
ments, one being :a power of attorney, enabling certain
persons in London to receive a lady's annuity, and the
other the draft will of a gentleman in Southampton. On
the last examination it was proved that both those
documents had been posted in the country, the
power of attorney being addressed to Mr. Wetenhall, of
Copthall-court ; and the will to Mr. Emanuel, solicitor, of
Austinfrian, but were never received by them. The pri-
soner accounted for them being in his possession by
saying that he met a man in Wood-street who had asked
him for a loan of Is., and lending him that sum the
man left the documents with him for security pro-
mising him to meet him and repay the Is. last Monday
evening. The prisoner went there then but the
man did not appear. A letter was also found
upon the prisoner unopened, which contaised a warrant
from the Caledonian Railway Company for fialt. odd,
which had been left at his employer's office for a former
tenant. He explained that he put it in his pocket intend-
ing to give it to the housekeeper to forward, but went
away forgetting to do so.
Mr. Alderman Bailey committed him for trial, declining
to entertain an application by Mr. Wontner, his solicitor,
to admit him to bail.
London, England, 1867-04-20

ROME.

A letter from Rome in the Dibats says :—" For
some days past, as you are aware, there has been
circulated in Rome a manifesto emanating from a
society, more or lees secret, calling itself Centre
of Insurttetion' the seatof which is not known. That
document, which has been reproduced by the Italian
journals accompanied by a letter of adhesion from
Garibalcli, was clandestinely posted up in the Corso
and in other streets. Gendarmes and police
agents were seen last week tearing down the
papers from the walls. The Roman Na-
tional Committee has just replied to this anonymous
production by a proclamation in which, without
repudiating the programme of its antagonists,
namely, to expel foreign soldiers and proclaim
Rome as the capital of Italy,' it declines the
responsibility of such a step, and appears desirous
of reserving for itself, when the proper time shall
come, the direction of the enterprise. An infer-
ence may be drawn from this double manifestation,
and from the co-operation of Garibaldi, which can
no longer be doubted, that the bold condottiero is
preparing some scheme. It is affirmed here that
the old Garibaldian volunteers have received notice
not to go far away from the capital, and that the
Roman emigrants have been invited to return to
their country separately and without arms."
London, England, 1867-04-20

THE GOOD ►RIDAY CHARGER.

On Mr. Cooke taking ilia seat ihiS7l:;ining at 10 o'clock
he had more than the ordinary number of charges ti dis-
pose of for the day following Good Friday, there being no
less than 33, which were as follows division
(Clerkenwell): Drunk and incapable, 2 ; drunk and dis-
orderly, 1 ; felony, 2-5. G division (Old-street): Drunk
and disorderly, 2. N division (Islington) : Drunk
and incapable, 2; disorderly conduct, 1 ; beg-
ging, 2 ; suspected persons, 3-8. N division (Kings-
land) : Begging, 2; unlawful possession, 4; sus-
pected persons, 1-7. Y division (Caledonian-road):
Drunk. 1; assault, 2 ; gambling, 2 ; throwing stones; 1;
felony, 5-11. Y (Somers-town) : None. That there were
no charges from Somers-town may be accounted for by the
fact that nearly the whole of that neighbourhood has been
demolished to form the London station for the Midland
Railway. The parties who were charged with being drunk
and incapable, having expressed their contrition for what
they had done, were cautioned by Mr. Cooke and dis-
charged.

COURT OF CHANCERY.

PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE CHIVY CLERKS.-THE EASTER

VACATION. _
This day several of the chief clerks disposed of a num-
ber of applications on summonses for " further time," and
the chambers were ordered to be closed until Wednesday
morning for the Easter recess.
THE LONDON, CHATHAN' AND DOVER RAILWAT.
The affair of this company will present another phase in
the Court of Chancery. A great number of claims have
been sent in under the Usual order for the proof of debts,
and probably several succeeding days will be devoted by
the chief clerk of Vice-Chancellor Stuart to the in-
vestigation of the claims made. The question arises
on the claims of the debenture holders and the cre-
ditors under the assignment made, and under which
several issues at common law between the trustees and the
executor's crc litors had been directed between the parties.

The Etewiard of this evening denies the rumours
which have again been current of the despatch of
a French note to Prussia and of the calling out of

The Memorial Diptoniativn;publishes a telegram
from Berlin, stating that Prussia is determined not
to evacuate Luxemburg under any circumstances,
and that in official circles in Berlin such evacuation
would be considered equivalent to the abdication
by Prussia of the position she has acquired by

WANDSWORTH.

" RACE WIRISI;.'7JAPR7;iI;:;RLE CAVE.
Henry l'alfrry, a youth, was charged with unlawfully
playing at a game called " Race Horses."
Police-constable &Rhin, 242 W, said yesterday after-
noon be was on duty at Clapham-common, where a great
number of persons were assembled for recreation. He
saw the prisoner with a board and four marbles playing at
a game called " Race Horses." The constable produced the
board, and explained to the magistrate the way in which
the game is played, showing that the player must win
every time. On searching the prisoner he found upon him
lie. 7d. in silver, and 9s. Ild. in coppers.
The father of the prisoner came forward and said his son
made the board, but he did not know the nature of it.

Mr. Da an wished to know why the prisoner went out
to pick other person's pockets, for such it was, as it was
not a fair game of chance.
The prisoner said he had been playing for cocoa-nuts,and
was going away when the constable stopped him.
Mr. Dayrnan told him that the law did not allow that
kind of gaoling. It must be an unfair game of chance,
otherwise it would not be worth while for a person to go
out and stake his money. He should remand the prisoner
for him to produoe a character from his employer.
TV,II bin' Hari, another youth, was charged with a
similar offence. He was found to have 17m. 111. in coppers
and H. 98. :id. in laver. _

Mr. Dayman remanded him.
There were several other cum ; one, • man named
Charles Hopkins, was remanded for playing at dice, and he
was found in possession of 15e. lld. in silver and 9.. 3d.
coppers.

ORDMS STREET OUTRAGE AND IMPRISONMENT WITHOUT A

James Moat, aged 17, who was described u "the
terror of the neighbourhood" of Holloway, was charged
with violently assaulting Mrs. Mary Redding, in Bowman's-
place, Holloway.
Mr. H. Allen, prosecuting officer of the Associate
Institute for Improving and Enforcing the Laws for the
Protection of Women, watched the case.
The promecutrix was yesterday musing through the
above street, when the prisoner, without the least provo-
cation, tore her shawl off her back, and when she remon-
strated with him, be hit her in the eye and blackened it.
He was proceeding to other acts of violence when he was
prevented and given into custody. The prisoner only came
out of the House of riorrection on Wednesday last, where
he had been confined for three weeks on the charge of
assaulting a man with a brick.
The prisoner said he was guilty, and did not care what
became of him.

Mr. Cooke sentenced the prisoner to six weeks' hard
labour in the House of Correction.
The prisoner danced out of the dock, and said he could
do it on his head.

ITreon the Hon. G. C. Norton taking he seat on the
bench a number of charges were brought before the court,
the majority being connected with the commencement of
the Easter holidays. Several of the prisoners who had
been drunk and incapable were discharged with a caution,
while small fine* were imposed in tames in which the ac-
cused were disorderly and creating a disturbance.

iLATING ROUX-DIRS.
George Beard, aged 18, was charged with playing • game
called " rounders" in the Leipzic-road, Camberwell, to the
danger of the public.
Sergeant Cora, 23 P, proved the case, and spoke of
the noise and bad language of the prisoner and his com-
panions, of whom there were • great many. The inhabi-
tants had often complained of such ruffianly eonduct.
Mr. Norton said thatsuch practices were fraught with
great danger, and he should fine him 2s. 6d.

Lord Cranborne and Lord Stanley shall, in the course of
nature, be called to the Upper House, their parliamentary
career, if the present system remains unchanged, will be
practically at an end ; though they may have a long offi-
cial future before them. A reformed House of Peers
would secure their continued participation in political
