THE FATAL COLLISIO.V BETWEEN H.M.S.
AMAZON AND A PAssENGER STEAMER.

PORTSMOUTH, WeDNEsDAT Evrarrwo.

The crew of the Amazon were sent on to Exeter on
Tuesday night and thence to Portsmouth, where they
arrived this afternoon, and are now berthed on board the
Duke of Wellington. Both officers and crew are in a for-
lorn condition, many of them being without shoes and
stockings, or even shirts, and tile only thing which has been
saved out of the ship is the paymaster's book- All the
ogew have answered to their names, with the exception of
a supernumerary boy named Compton, whose absence is
not accounted fin. The question of responsibility as to
the cause of the collision will, of course, form the subject
of efflcia! inquiry, but, in the absence of any information
on the subject, it is unaccountable how with a proper look-
out on both vessels, and on a clear night, they could have
approached each other so closely as to render a collision
inevitable without being observed. A court-martial on
the officers and crew of the Amazon will, no doubt, be held
as soon as the necessary formalities have been gone
through.

COUKERDIOUTH._

Upon being re-elected yesterday, Lord NLAN said he
should oppose the paetiug, as he had opposed it,
of any measure of parliamentary reform which pro-
posed to place in the hands of any particular class
the whole political power of the country. He
should be as unwilling to see the whole political
power placed in the hands of the landed or the commer-
cial interest as he would in those of the working classes.
Therefore he said if they were to be well governed
and well defended, and maintain their public credit,
every class in this great, important, and rich
country must be fairly and equally represented. (Cheers.)
The right hon. gentleman then discussed the foreign policy
of the country. He denied that Lord Derby's would be •
war policy, but one of peace, with interference in the
affairs of other nations as little as possible. Kiample was
better than precept, and the example of peace and liberty
here would be more conducive to liberty abroad than pro-
tocols. The policy of Lord Derby would be the policy of
non-intervention. He finally discussed Irish affairs. All
Ireland wanted was the knowledge that the law would be
firmly and impartially administered, that evil-doers would
be punished, and the right-thinking and loyal encouraged.

THE POLICE COURT&

MARYLPXONE.

Police-sergeant Crory( Lord, ii X, was charged with an
unlawful aeasult upon Police-constable Richard Barton,
94 K.

- _
Mr. Edward Lewis appecred for the complainant ; In-
spector Egerton (X Division) on behalf of the Commis-
sioners of Pollee.

The evidence complainant, which was fully corrobo-
rated by two other constables, went to show that about
1 o'clock on the morning of the 3rd inst., be charged two
men at the Paddington station—one with assaulting him,
and the other with being disorderly in the streets.
The acting inspector refund to take the charges, and
dismissed the two men, and finding that the emu-
plainant was drunk he detained him. About an hour
afterwards, complainant rushed away from the
station, and and was pursued by the acting inspector and three
constables, who overtook him at a distance of 300 yards
from the station. Complainant then threw off his cape,
belt, and cost, and swore he would not be, taken back to
the station, but, after a severe struggle, d which com-
plainant assaulted one of the constables by king him,
he was got back to the station-house. On getting him
within a few yards from the station the defendant came up,
and, after saying " Let me have hold of him," struck com-
plainant two violent blows on the face, which caused a
most frightful wound on the right aide of the face. It was
positively sworn by the three witnesses in support of the
charge that complainant did not offer the slightest pro-
vocation. _ _ .

The defendant made a statement which was partly
endorsed by the testimony of the acting inspector and a
police-constable, that the acting inspector was very weak
after his struggle with complainant, sad on defendant
going to his aaststanoe the complainant struck at him, and
in warding off the blow his fist came into contact with
complainant's face, thus ca sungthe wound.
It was also shown that for his conduct at the time in
question complainant was taken before the commissioner
of police, who fined him 'ls., reduced him to a third-class
constable, and transferred him to another division.
Mr. Mansfield said the evidence given in support of the
summons was almost incredible, Immense it had tailed to
prove the reason why the sergeant should have struck
the constable in the manner described. At the same time
he was of opinion that the sergeant had purposely struck
the constable, and, in doing so, he had exhibited a pe-
tulance of disposition not at all consistent with his posi-
tion in the police force. Under all the circumstances he
should dismiss the summons, and be hoped for the future
the sergeant would conduct himself in a more discreet
manner, and more in accordance with the duties of his
office.
The summons was dismissed.

Gounod's symphony was very coldly received. It passed
off, indeed, almost without notice. It is a feeble compo-
sition, and must have been admitted into a Philharmonic
programme in virtue of the name which its composer has
gained as the author of Faust. Without inquiring whether
H. Gounod is entitled to the fame he has acquired on ac-
count of that opera, we shall only say at present that,
judging from this symphony, it is evident that he
has not the attainments requisite for the compost.
tion of a great orchestral work. It is, indeed, re-
gularly constructed, and is regular even to timidity,
like the work of an unpractised composer, who
dare not deviate a jot from the models he
has before him. Hence it was little better than* string of
reminiscences ; and the;work uppermost in his mind on
this occasion seems to have been Beethoven's Sinfonia
Eroioa. It was rather provoking to have to listen for more
than half an hour to music such as this, when we might
have been enjoying a symphony of one of the great masters,
Setting this,howuvcr, aside, the concert in all other respects
was of the highest order. The other symphony (Beet-
hoven's in A) is one of the grandest in existence.
Sterndale Bennett's concerto in C minor is
equal to the finest of Beethoven's or Hen-
delssohn's; and Arabella Goddard's execution of it was
one of the moat splendid displays of talent ever made by
that most accomplished performer. She was applauded to
the echo, and recalled with acclamations after she bad de-
manded from the orchestra ; and then followed rounds of
cheering from every part of the room in honour of the com-
poser. Titiens appeared in all her glory. The pieces
selected by her (as will be seen from the programme) were
calculated to display her highest powers, and she was
greeted with the most enthusiastic applause. Herr Rokit-
anski (now one of the most efficient members of the Covent-
garden company) made a moat successful debut as a con-
cert singer. His grand air from Mozart's Il Seraglio was
almost new to the audience, for this fine opera is never
performed now-a-days. But we hope we shall not have
reason to complain much longer of this great neglect on the
part of our opera managers.

' •

The further hearing of this case was resumed thin morn-
ing, when Dr. Kenealy addressed the jury, after which,
'The learned Judge summed up, observing that the ques-
tion they had to decide was on what terms the euterpion,
the piano, and the wood carving were given up by Sutton's
wife on the 23rd November. If they found a verdict for
the plaintiff they would have to estimate the damages in
the following manner. The plaintiff claimed as the value
of the articles given up 568/. They were purchased by
Sergeant, and by Lim handed over to Sutton ; and then
arose the question upon what terms were they handed
over to the defendant. Sutton alleged that the articles
were handed over on the terms that he and Sargeent
should be released from the prosecution for forgery,
whereas the defendants contended that the ar-
ticles were handed over to them to settle their
pending action. As he had not been released from prison
in accordance with the promise, Sutton alleged that he
was entitled to the value of the goods. But could they
credit a man who had denied all knowledge of the dis-
graceful advertisements, which bore the addresses of men
who it was proved lived there. Imoff's evidence was in
direct opposition to Sutton's as to the payment of
4007., but no attempt had been made to impugn it. The
question was upon what terms the goods were handed
over. He should reserve the point whether this was an
illegal contract to put an end to a prosecution.
The jury after being locked up seven hours were dis-
charged, not being able to agree to a verdict.

It was not for him to say whether Mrs. Cumming had
acted prudently in keeping silence ; but it was not the first
ease, whether from modesty, or for the sake of peace, that
the same course had been adopted. He also believed that
the ladies were correct in their statement that Mr. Berney
did not administer the sacrament on Trinity Sunday, and
he expressed his disapprobation of the conduct of the
defendant in seeing the witnesses as he had before theycame
to this court. As to the letter written by the defendant
to Mr. Cumming after be knew of the circumstance, it
neither denied nor admitted the charges. His lordship con-
cluded a very lucid judgment by declaring that he should
not discharge his duty if he did not hold that the charges
were substantially established, and he therefore felt called
upon to suspend .Mr. Berney for two years, beneficio is
officio, and condemned him in the costs.
Notice of appeal to the Privy Council was given.

TATTEMSALL'S.—MornAT.
There was but a scanty muster to-day present, for though
many members who had been to France to witness the
Grand Prize of Parts run for at Longehanips returned be-
fore noon to-day, a large number of gentlemen remained to
participate In the supplementary sports there. Many accounts
in connexion with the French racing consequently stood over,
and though we subjoin a list of quotations which came
under our notice, they were not of a heavy nature
War, who had been backed earlier In the day for
the Ascot Stakes at the Victoria Club, further advanced
into favour, and supplanted Ackworth for favouritism. Love
Apple was in good demand, and Chronometer, about whom 8 to
I was accepted, had a coming appearance. The doings on the
Hunt (Up were chiefly noticeable fur the support awarded to
Camellia, who at the finish had the call of her stable
companion, The Star, while Siberia and Split the Dif-
ference were both supported with some little earnest-
ness at their quoted prices. There was evidently a screw
loose about Gardevisure, for repeated offers of SS to 1 net with
no takers, and the prevailing impression was that the Cam-
bridgeshire winner will be an absentee. For the ('up, the men-
tion of Gladiateur as a certain starter was sufficient to check
speculation beyond the Frenchman, on whom 2 to 1 was laid,
the backer offering to go on. The following is a hit of quota-

FATAL STREET ACCIDENT.

Mr. W. Payne, the Southwark coroner, held an
inquiry at Guy's Hospital, last night, touching the death
of George Holden, aged 55 years.
Deceased was a carman in the employ of Mr.
Penny, a coal merchant, of Deptford. On Friday he was
driving a horse and cart laden with timber along the Mill-
lane, Deptford, when the horse ran in upon the pavement
and dashed the man against the wall of the Golden Fleece
public-house. Before the bystanders could take hold of
the horse, the man was crushed in a dreadful manner,
between the side of the cart and the wall of the house.
Several persons rushed forward and caught hold of the
horse, and the deceased was taken to the hospital, where
he lingered in great agony until Sunday, when death put
a period to his sufferings.
Taylor, house surgeon, said that the deceased's
stomach was crushed in a shocking manner, and he had
received other injuries, many of his bones being broken.
The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental ISmth."

Ma Gov't:MOUNT LOAN TO RAILWAYS.—The
assistance to Irish railways, which we announced exclu-
sively on Saturday, is to be, as we stated, a loan at 4 per
cent., not 31 per cent. as is stated by a contemporary this
morning. It is a temporary measure to relieve companies
whose bonds fall due in the present year from the pressure
incident to the financial crisis.—Dublin Evening Mail.
DEATH FROM HIDROPHOSIA.—A death from this
horrible disease occurred on Saturday last, at Kevington.
A man named Page, who had worked on Dir. Berens' estate
for many years asodd man, and whooccasionallaisted the
keeper in feeding the dogs, heard some of the beagles
lug, when he attempted to separate them, and one bit him
on the lip and on the thumb. The next day the dogs were
suspected to be mad, and the man was sent to Birling to
' get the celebrated drinks. The unfortunate man, how-
ever, took to drinking, and madness very soon exhibited
itself, as he barked and snapped like a dog. He was fay.
tend to the bed and chloroform administered, but he
never rallied, and died on Saturday marling. A widow
and four children have been left totally unprovided for.—
Maidstone Journal.
London, England, 1866-05-29

when he saw the prisoners come out of a public-house
together, and pass down the Borough. Knowing them to
be notorious convicted thieves, he followed them, and I
saw the female accost the preeeeuter and suddenly run
away from him and pass something to the male prisoner,
who was behind. Witness pursued the man, while the
other constable scoured the female. In the man's
sion he found the prosecutor's property. The female pri-
soner said it belonged to her.
Mr. Partridge asked what was known of the prisoner.
William Duffels, 157 M, said that on the 17th of March,
1862, the male prisoner was tried at the Surrey Sessions for
a street robbery, and convicted, when he was sentenced to
six years' penal servitude.
Inspector Wise, M Division, produced a certificate show-
ing that he wan liberated with a ticket-of-leave in March
last, after serving four years of his time.
Police-constable 147 M said that in September,lB64, the
female prisoner was tried at the Central Criminal Court
Sessions, and sentenced to sixteen months' hard labour.
She had been several times previously convicted.
Mr. Partridge committed them for trial.

for 1866 has produced great popular discontent in
Venetia. The railway administration had received
orders to make arrangements for the conveyance of

MR. SIMS REEVES'S CONCERT.

Last evening Mr. Sims Reeves gave a concert
at St. James's Hall, which was attended with the most
brilliant success. The hall was crowded—overflowing, in-
deed, in every part, and Mr. Reeves when he came forward
was received with shouts of welcome from every corner.
He sang a number of his most favourite pieces in various
styles : from the sublime and pathetic " Deeper and
deeper still," and " Waft her angels," from the
Jephtha of Handel, to "My pretty Jane," and
other popular ballads, several of which were en-
tirely new. He was in the fullest possession of his
vocal powers, and his beautiful tenor—so rich, mellow,
and sympathetic—was as clear, firm, and fresh, as we have
ever heard it. The audience were enchanted, and seemed
to feel that they could not applaud him enough. Several
vocal pieces were sung by Mr. Santley and Miss Edmonds ;
and instrumental solos were played by Madame Arabella
Goddard and Signor riatti ; the whole forming a most
pleasing and interesting entertainment.
