JoAr Leiria, a young man, wee brought before Mr.
Flowers, by Farce, one of the warrant officers, charged
with assaulting his wife, Rebecca Lewis.

The prisoner, who resided with hie wife at Mills-
buildings, threw a galliput at her, which cut her arm
very badly, and on her leaving the house to go to the
hospital to have her arm attended to, the pri-
soner threw • partly broken half-gallon stone bottle
at her. The wife appeared in court with her arm ban-
daged from the elbow to the wrist, and stated that the
prisoner spent all his money in drink, was in the habit of
ill-using her, and that he had broken everything in the
place, even to the window-gashes.
The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said he should
like toseparate from hi, wife. He had been locked up
since Saturday, and if his worship would let him out on
bail he would separate from her.
Mr. Flowers said the prisoner might have been standing
before him charged with murder. The prisoner did not
care about cutting his wife to pieces, what he cared about
was going to prison. He should commit him for four
months, with hard labour.

Charles L. Eugene Jet...vies, It years of age, clerk in the
service of Messrs. Gould Brothers, wholesale grocers,
Nos. 4,5, and 7, Norton-folgate, Shoreditch, was charged
with stealing AC in Bank of England notes, their moneys.
On the evening of the Lind ult., Derby day, the prisoner
decamped with the notes in question from the cash-box, of
which he had the charge. Not returning to his
duties on the following morning suspicion was
aroused. Smaller cash transactions were discovered
against him in defalcation, and the matter was placed in
the hands of Kenwood, 16 if, who traced him to
Hastings, where he was living with a prostitute. One
of the notes had been changed in Shoreditch, the others
in Hastings. They consisted of three 101. and two 54.
notes and two had since been sent in to the bank.
Prisoner was remanded.

IMPORTANT To WAN OARS OF THEATRES.
_

Samuel Thninaa, a dirty-looking greasy fellow' was placed
at the bar before Mr. Bonham, charged with a disturbance
at the entrance of the Surrey Theatre, and having in his
possession tweet y check' for a fraudulent purpose.
Police-constable 52 L said that on Saturday night he
was on duty in the Blackfriars-road, when he saw the pri-
soner turned out of the theatre, when he commenced using
very abusive and filthy language towards the officers. As '
he would not leave he was compelled to take him into
custody, and when at the station-house he found the
bundle of checks produced.
Downing, the officer employed at the theatre, informed
his worship that the prisoner was a regular nuisance to
them, as he hung about the doors from the time the
theatre opened until the close, buying or begging the
checks from the people leaving and selling again, which
was a fraud on the manager. The bundle found on the
fprisoner -were old checks, issued on previous days, there-
ore they were useless, and the persons who purchased
them from him were likewise defrauded, as they were
stopped on presenting them to the check-taker.
Mr. Burcham told him that the purchasers committed a
fraud as well, as they knew that they had no right to buy
them.

Downing assured his worship that they did not think
so. They were generally young people of limited means
who bought them.
Mr. Bureham—But they must have known that the
checks were only available to the persona to whom they
were issued. If they did not encourage the lads they
would not take take the trouble to get them. As far as
the criminal law was concerned there was no protection
for the manager, and the prisoner, who had been locked
up some hours, must be discharged.

LORD'S GROUND.-(THIS DAY.)
MARTLRBONE CLUB AND GROUND V. LANCASHIRE.

This match, the first between the M.C.C. and the
County Palatine, was fixed for settlement at the beginning
of the current week, and in good time this morning every-
thing was in a state of readiness at Lord's ground, but
shortly before 12 o'clock, a steady rain set in, rendering
anything like even the idea of attempting to pitch a
wicket entirely out of the questioo. At 1 o'clock when
our despatch left the ground the rain continued to fall
steadily, accompanied by a cold north-east wind, without
any prospect of abatement.

On inquiry at the Waterloo Hotel, Liverpool,
on Saturday night, our correspondent was informed that
Mr. Charles Kean, though very weak, was
eatisfactorily and it was hoped that he woad soonrogralsing be
strong enough to bear removal to Buxton.
WHITLEY ABBEY, NEAR CovENTßY.—There was
a large assemblage of gentlemen at the Auction Mart on
Friday last, to witness the male, by Messrs. Rushworth,
Jarvis, and Abbott, of this interesting old place, the family
seat of Viscount Hood. After • spirited competition it
was knocked down to Mr. Edward Petro for 302.100/.
THE LOCK HOSPITAL.—On Saturday his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge was present at the open-
ing of a new wing of the Lock Hospital, in Harrow-road.
The institution has been very successful since its removal
from the place where it was originated, in ,1787, by the
Bev. Thomas Scott. The new wing which was opened on
Saturday enables the managers to afford accommodation
for 180 female patients. Atter the formal opening of this
new wing his royal highness was conducted to the
Council Room, where he made the following entry in the
visitors' book:—" Having opened the new wing of the
Lock Hospital this day, I have great pleasure in expressing
my entire satisfaction at the arrangements made for the
patients. I also went over the old portion of the hospital,
and the asylum attached to it, and was much gratified b 7
the order, regularity, and cleanliness with which tins
valuable institution is conducted by those who have charge
of it. —Owens June 1, 1867."
SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN ROTTEN-ROW.—On Friday
Count Sabouroff, attached to the Russian Embassy, was
thrown from his horse in Rotten-row, and seriously hurt.
The count was riding a very restive horse, which plunged
and reared violently. Ultimately rising on his hind legs,
the animal fell backwards on his rider, who was crushed,
and lay insensible. Mr. Brady, M.P., who was among the
company at that time on the ride, directly dismounted to
the assistance of the fallen gentleman. By Mr. Brady's
direction M. Sabouroff was borne to St. George's Hospital,
where he received every attention. In the course of the
afternoon he so far recovered as to bear removal to his
residence in Piccadilly.
SCHIZO ALIVE. —On Saturday afternoon, about
6 o'clock, • fatal accident occurred on tho branch line of '
the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway in process of
construction between Nunhead and Greenwich. Two
boys, William Wright, &lame lad, aged about 15, the son
of a brewer, living in Friendly-street, New Deptford, and
William Marks, a younger boy, son of • Postman residing
in St. John's-road, were at play in a cutting on the line
near Wickham-bridge, in the neighbourhood of Lewisham
High-road. They were making a tunnel, when a mass of
earth fell upon them, which must have caused almost
instant death. Some companions who witnessed the acci-
dent gave an alarm, and after considerable delay the
bodies were dug out by a number of men from the grounds
of Mr. Hiatt, market gardener, New-cross. Dr. Hope
Taylor and Dr. Mitchell were speedily on the spot, but
could render no service, as the bodies were completely
lifeless when dug out. An inquest will be held upon them
this day.

CITY OF LONDON REAL PROPERTY COMPANY
(LIMITED).-(ran DAY.)

The third annual general meeting was held at
one o'clock. at the London Tavern, Mr. H. G. ASH HURST
in the chair.

The directors' report speaks of satisfactory progress, and
states the premises continue to be well let, at rentals fully
equal to those previously obtained. The lease of a small
property adjoining the company's buildings in Grace-
church-street and Corbet-court has been secured, the
cost being trilling in comparison with the advantage
to be gained. This is the only property purchased on
behalf of the company during the year. The building of
14 to 18, Mark-lane, is so far completed as to be partially
occupied. The progress of the building in Seething-lane,
on the site formerly occupied by livar's warehouses, has
been quite satisfactory, and work has been commenced for
the reconstruction of buildings on the site of 3.1 and 36, Mark-
lane. The accounts for the past yearshow a balance in favour
of the conipiny of 8,280/. 16s. 741., from which it is recom-
mended that a dividend be paid at the rate of 7 per cent.
for the year ; an ad-interim dividend of 3i per cent, having
already been paid in December hat. A balance of
3,649/. Gs. 11d, will then remain to be carried forward.

The CHanocut, referring to the commercial depression
of the last twelve months, the numerous failures, and the
cessation in the demand for City offices, congratulated the
shareholders that these untoward events had imposed no
cheek on the satisfactory progress of the company, the
reason being, he believed, that they had confined their
operations to localities where there was always a demand
for offices. The directors had made no new purchase of
property during the year except such as were absolutely
necessary for the due development of what they
already possessed, and, acting on that principle, they
had obtained a lease of some property adjoining
their building in Gracechurch-street and Corbet-court.
The cost of this would be about 9,000 f., of which pro-
bably 1,0001. would be raised on mortgage, thus reducing
the actual outlay to 4,0001. Re regretted the delay in the
completion of the Mark-lane building, but it was now pro-
gressing as fast as they could expect. In all the other
work, the program was satisfactory. The policy of the
directors would be now to hold their hands and to enter
into no further arrangements for acquiring other pro-
perties until those they had were completed and
tenanted. (Cheers.) After going through and explaining
the several items of the accounts,he concluded by moving
the adoption of the report.
After some discussion, the report was adopted.
A dividend of 3} per cent., making, with the interim
dividend of the same amount previously distributed, 7 per
cent. for the year, was afterwards declared, and the re-
tiring directors having been re-elected, the proceedings
terminated in the usual manner.

Arrival for the week wallas 11th June lad year, 3,190 casks
and delivery, 2,043 cask. The arrival last week comprised 157
make from Australia, 1165 from South America, and 10 from other
places—total, 630 maks.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
(THIS DAY.)
Although the supply of beasts is very small, trade is by
no means brisk. The restrictions, as to removal and
slaughtering, have a prejudicial effect. Someof the choicest
descriptions are dearer, but inferior kinds remains as before.
The number of sheep is smaller, but quite equal to
the demand. A clearance is scarcely effected, but there is
a small advance in choicest qualities. Trade is very heavy
for lambs at Thursday's quotations. There is a better de-
mand for choice calves. Our foreign supply consists of
1,160 beasts. 8,Z,10 sheep, 130 calves, and 00 pip. From
Scotland there are 7,16 beasts; Norfolk and Suffolk 1,500 ;
and 124 frou; the Northern and Midland Counties.

BOROUGH HOP MARRET.—(THIS DAY.)
Mears. Pattenden and Smith report a continued im-
provement in the demand for hops of all descriptions at
the late advances. The reports from the plantations speak
of an increase of fly, which deposit freely.

INAUGURATION OF • NEW SYNAGOGUE.—Yester-
day afternoon a new synagogue for German Jews resident
in London was inaugurated with great ceremony. The
building was formerly known as New Broad-street Chapel,
City and will contain about 700 devotees. The ark,
reading-desk, and other parts of the building were taste-
fully decorated with flowers, in anticipation of the
I Pentecost Festival, which takes place in a few days. The
ceremony of inauguration commenced soon after 3 o'clock,
by a procession being formed of fifteen of the officials ;
each carrying the scrolls of the law, which were sur-
mounted with silver bells, and covered with velvet of va-
rious colours. Meanwhile, a very efilaient choir, directed
by Mr. Mombach, chanted the 30th Psalm, and
the procession moved slowly round the synagogue ; on
arriving at the reading-desk, the procession halted, when
an official presented the key to the president, who, on re-
ceiving it, stated, in the German language, that he felt
great pleasure in seeing that the exertions of the building
committee had been so successfully carried out, but they
were not to lose sight of the First Architect of the Uni-
verse, and trusted that the committee would now turn
their minds to the erection of schools in connexion with
the building they were that day inaugurating, so that
their offspring might become useful members of society.
The procession then walked round the synagogue seven
times, during which the reader and choir chanted several
appropriateie Psalms. The ark was now opened, and the
scrolls deposited therein for the first time. Dr.
Freidlander then delivered • lecture in German appro-
priate to the occasion, which was followed by a miler for
the Queen and the royal family, which concluded the cere-
mony.
