THAMES.

John Pereell, a powerful Irishman, who was formerly a
seamen, and has been lately working as a hammerman at
Westwood and Bailey's factory, in the Isle of Dogs, Poplar,
wee charged with committing a violent assault on john
&etcher, foreman at Cubitt's tile works.
The prosecutor has sustained injuries of a serious
chamfer. His heed was covered with linen bandages, his
face was frightfully bruised, sod he had received
coritaaiene on various party of the body. He maid he had
been with his wife and a party of friends to Peckham, on
Monday, sad upon his return home was about to enter
his cottage, near Mr. Cubitt's new church, opposite
Greenwich Hospital, when a Mrs. Banks, one of the party
who had been to Peckham with him. fainted, and he wee
directed by her husband to attend to her and get her out of
the fit as soon as possible. While he was standing over
Mrs. Banks, and had hold of her two hands, the prisoner
came up and struck him s violent blow on the had with
his fist, The blow was delivered with ao much force that
he was driven three or four yards. When he recovered
himself he asked the prisoner why he struck him. The
prisoner made no answer, struck him again with his fist,
and knocked him down, and when he was down kicked
him repeatedly about the heed, face, and body, until he was
completely insensible. He let a good deal of blood, and
his left eye was injured. There was a gash on his forehead.
He was kicked en the side, and also on the had, and had
been since under medical treatment. He gave no provo-
cation whatever for this outrage.
The prisoner made • long and rambling defence, from
which it appeared that his fatherdied on Thursday, andjhe
buried him on Monday, He quarrelled with his wife, and to
spite her and please himself he drank rather heavily, and
took a walk. While doing so he heard the screams of a
woman, and while labouring under the impression that the
complainant, who was over the woman and had hold of her
hands, was murdering her, he beat him.
Evidence was given that after it had been explained to
the prisoner that Scotcher was relieving the woman and
getting her out of the fit, he attacked the husband.
Mr. Yardley said the prisoner had committed a mort
violent ',smelt, for which he fined him 51., and in default,
one month's imprisonment.

FRENCH CONSUL AT MANCHESTER.

Captain GRAY asked the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs whether, seeing that a consul for France had re-
cently been appointed at Manchester, it was the intention of
the government to recommend that a similar officer be ap-
pointed for the protection of Briti‘h interests in the city of
Lyons ; and, if so, when such appointment was likely to be
made ?

Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to may that they were
not at all aware at the Foreign-odlce of the appointment of
• Frisch consul at Manchester : and if it were SO, be con-
fessed he did not see the necessity of appointing an English
consul at Lyons.

THE AFFAIRS OF SYRIA.

Lord STRATFCTRITibk REDCLIFFE, who had a notice
on the paper to call the attention of the house to the affairs
of Syria, and to move for ropers relating to the subject, said
this was a very important subject ; at the game time he
thought it important that when it was brought before their
lordships it should be done at a time when it could receive
their lordships' attention. He should, therefore, postpone
his motion till Friday, when he trusted it would be brought
on early.
Lord COLCHESTER, in the absence of the Earl of Ellen-
borough, moved for a copy of letters from the government
of Bombay, dated the 2:ith of February and the 12th of
Hatch, 1860, with the enclosures, and a copy of a letter from
the Secretary of State for India to the Secretary of State for
War, dated the 12th of May, 1860, forwarding the same.
The motion was agreed to.
Their lordships then adjourned, at five minutes peat eight
o'clock.

FELONY AND MISDEMEANOUR BILL

This bill lir reed a third time and
MILITIA BALLOT RV:

Earl DE GREY and RLPON moreiiiieTuspension of the
standing older' to enable their lordships to give a second
reading to this bill. As regarded the measure, if it did not
become law immediately, the militia ballot would at once
come into operation, and as it was not advisable in the pro-
sent circumstances of the country to resort to that method
of raising men for the militia, the circumstances which 1%).
quired legislation on the subject-matter of the bill were of
such real urgency as to render the immediate consideration
of the same necessary.
After a few words from the Earl of DONOCOSMORK and
the Marquis of SALISBURY,
The motion was agreed to.
The following bills were severally advanced • stage with-
out dominion ; Prisons (Scotland)—report received; Herring
Fisheries (Soothind)—third reading ; Titles to Land (Scot-
land)—third
PARTY EIIBLEMS (IRELAND).
Lord GRANVILLE moved the third reading.
Lord REDEBDALIC asked whether the bill referred to
Ireland—(alangh)—lnaland was not mentioned.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took that opportunity of
stating that he had read some recent remarks of Chief
Justice Monahan's respecting party emblems and proces-
sions, and he begged to say that he considered those observe-
'ions to have been fully justified, and not to have gone at
all beyond the occasion.

Loral DUNGANNONrsmarked that singing a song might
be penal under the bill. (A laugh.)
The bill was mad a third time and passed.
The report and amendments to the Police and Towns Im-
provement (Scotland) Bill, and to the County Coroners Bill
were severally received and agreed to.
_ _ NEW ZEALAND BILL.

On the order for the third nadie~
Lord LYTTELTON said he hoped that the house wouLl
see, from the reasons which he stated, the necessity of
postponing this bill until next session. He strongly ob-
jected to the system of withdrawing colonial questions from
the influence of colonial authority, and expressed a hope
that the home government would Infore long give the col°.
nista more power of discussing such questions as the bill
involved. He moved that the bill be read a third time that
day three months.
Lord LYVEDEN supported the motion.
Lord MANVILLE did not see the propriety of post-
posing the bill foe another session. He briefly explained
under what ciscannetances the government bad introduced
this manure in the imperial parliament.
Lord DERBY would not like to take the respousibilityol
rejecting this manure on himself. He preferred leaving
the responsibility of paring it with tho goverenaent.
The bill was then read a third time.

ALARMING ACCIDINT ON THE BLACKWALL RAIL-
STAT. —An accident occurred yesterday on the Loudon and
Blackwell Railway, near the Haydon-square Station, which
caused considerable alarm and some inconvenience. The
train to which it occurred was a North Loridon one, due at
Fenehurch-street at 9.25, and was rather a long one. When
within a few yards from the Hayslonespiare junction the
engine got off the rails, took • slanting course, and fell over
on to the up end down lines. Two composite carriages
which were next to the engine, the break being in the third,
instantly mounted the prostrate locomotive, and the re-
mainder of the carriages in the train, as we were intermesh
were thrown off the line stove and crushed in a uoufunrd
state. There were between :100 and 400 passengers in the
train, end, though the panic was great, we are lumpy to
state that no injuries were sustained beyond a few bruises.
(hying to the immediate precautions taken further aceideuts
from approaching trains were prevented. The Illackwall
Railway Company attribute the accident to some default or
action of the engine, which muscat it to leave the rails. On
the other hand, the North London Company allege that it
arose from the carelessness of cue of the liletkwall Com-
pany's servants in leaving open the switch points facing the
Heydonasquere junction, and this is confirmed by the
driver of the engine, who represeuts, it is stated, that ho
saw the points were open just before he got to the spt,
end endeavoured to bring up the engine by shutting It his
steam and applying the break, but the rate the train was
travelling rendered it impossible.

by tf e tricks, but his lower extremities were so seriously
lacerated by coming in contact with the metals that it was
found necessary to remove him to the University College

CLAIM BY LORD CLTYES REPRESENTATIVES.

Hr. TORROTS asked the Secretary of State for India
whether say application or claim had been preferred by the
Lain sad aseesseces of Lord Clive for the capital of the
fund assigned by Lord Clive as a provision for invalid and
disabled officers and soldiers of the East India Company's
army, and for widows of officers and men of that army, on
the grounds that the fund was assigned only so long as the
East India Company had an army ; and in the event of such
a claim having been preferred, whether the Secretary of
State had any objection to lay all correspondence on the
subject before the boas!
Sir C. WOOD said that such an application had been
made. and if the boo. member chose to move for the °ogre-
spoodence there would be no objection to its production.

The statement shows about 12s. in the pound.
The bills payable, 86,0761., were stated to be all in
connexion with Messrs. Streatfeild and Co., through
whom the leather was consigned to London. Mr.
Mortimore has been in business since 1835, and has
of late traded far beyond his means. Goods have
been kept in hand much beyond the proper time,
causing great loss in their value and in intensd.
The stock at the tanyard and elsewhere is valued at
45,4581., but for the most part will take a consi-
derable time to realise ; were it to be forced for
sale, the estate would probably not realise more
than 10a. in the pound. It was proposed to pay Ils.,
but this offer was opposed by the representative of
the London Joint Stock Bank, as being insufficient.
It was argued, however, that the prices of leather are
likely to decline, and that some margin ought to be
allowed for this contingency. The creditors finally
agreed to accept a composition of Ils. in the pound,
payable as follows at three months from
Sept. 1, 211. at six, 2a. at nine, 2s. at twelve, and
2s. at eighteen months, the last to be guarantee!.

THE WILL OP AN ITALIAN.

A sensation has lately been caused in the law
courts of Padua by the raiding of the last will and testa-
ment of Vincenzo Caleavers Piston. The announcement of
its anti-Austrian provisions called forth the unrestrained
applause of those present in the court during the raiding.
The Austrian judge, President Headier, Procurtur-General
Hammerle, and Councillors Pretz and Coils, were in great
wrath et the popular demonstration, and Ilemmerle could
not raisin from muttering, " Only to think that the fellow
eat be arrested."

the term of her natural life ; and that, after her death, the

NORTH AND SOUTH WILITREN Jrateriott Ran,
WAT. —The ha-yearly report of the directors states that,
in comparison with the eorresponding period of 1859, the
revenue account exhibit' the following favourable result.:
Total receipts, half-year ending June, 1859, 3,3161. ; total
receipts, half-year ending June, 1800, 3,735/. • increase in
1860, 419/. Total expenditure, half-year ending June, 1859,
1,3471. ; total expenditure, half.year soiling June, 1860,
1,306/. ; decrease in 1860, 411. Up to the end of the mooch
of May, the passenger traffic receipts of this year compared
very favourably with the receipts during the came period of
1859, but the inclement Mete of the weather throughout
the month of Juoe last interfered to check the pleasure
traffic, and occasioned the small deficiency of SOL The
South Western Company have commenced the work. at
Kew and Barnes, which are designed to improve the route
between this company's railway and Richmond, and to
bring this company's trains into better communication with
the South Western system. These works are already ad.
mimed, and it is expected that, when finished, they will
tend to iDCIVIIMI very materially the receipts of the company
from passenger traffic. After deduqing the interest on the
debenture debt, and taking to account the balance canted
over on the 31st December, 1859, there remains a net
balance of 2,0101. 17.. 10d. available for dividend. This
sum is sufficient to pay a dividend for the half-year at the
rate of 5 pa cent. per annum, and carry forward •
balance of 231. 6.. 10d. This divtleed, which the directors
recommend, is at the mte of 11 per cent. per annum in
advance of that declared at this time last year.

THE DEATH OF SIR CHARLES NAPIER.

A telegram from Portsmouth announces the
death of Admiral Sir Charles Napier, at his resi-
dence, Merchiatoun Hall, at 5.40 this morn-
ing.
The deceased admiral was in his 75th year. He
was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral of the
Blue in 1840 ; Vice-Admiral of the Blue in 186$ ;
Vice-Admiral of the White in June, 1865 ; and
Vice-Admiral of the Red in 1857. Sir Charles
Napier has been a great politician in his time. In
1832 and 1837 he contested successively the bo-
roughs of Portsmouth and Greenwich, and in
NU was returned to parliament for Marylebone.
At the election for Marylebone caused by the death
of Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, Sir Charles was
readily induced to stand ; but the Admiralty
managed to detain him in the Baltic until the con-
test was over. In November, 1855, on the death of
Sir W. Molesworth, he was elected for Southwark ;
and at the dissolution in 1857 was once more sent
to the House of Commons. Sir Charles Napier
married the widow of Edward Elera, Esq., R.N.,
whose son perished whilst in command of the
Avenger steam frigate, when she was wrecked on
the Sorelle Rocks in the Mediterranean. Sir
Charles leaves only one chihl—a daughter.

THE DARLEN SHIP CANAL.

Mr. BRADiTrisieiiioaak;he First Lord of the Trea-
sury whether there were airy political difficulties ie the way
of -Qe project for the junction of the Atlantic and Pacific
00011 AS by • ship canal acmes the Isthmus of Darien, from
Caledonia By to the Gulf of San Miguel. And, whether
the government was prepared to 00-operate with the Em-
peror of the Preach, who had offered to rend a vessel of war
and a stair of engineers to survey the line, which his
Majesty beil dieramed to be perfectly feasible?
Lead MAMMON and there were no political difficul-
ties whalrente le the nay al the execution of the canal ; on
the , there wee as agreement between the British
and Amerian gevenenents, which would give protec-
tion to say canal that might be made in any part
of that names. Dr. Cullen, a very active Irish gentle-
man, having by his own marvellous and unaided efforts
surveyed that part of the isthmus, earns back with the idea
that a ship canal might be more easily formed there than in
any other part of it, and in 1852 • mammy was formed for
the purpose of carrying out the project. Believing that
that scheme would be advantageous in the interest of the
world, the English, American, and French governments
assisted in exploring that part of the isthmus with a
view of aseertasaing wbrAtier it was practicable to eat a

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.

An elderly man, of dissipated _ce, named Thomas
Morgan, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with
wounding his wife, Matilda Morgan, with intent to do her
grievous bodily harm.
It appeared from the evidence of a City police-constable,
named George Crowe, that on Wednesday evening he re-
ceived infornuaion which induced him to go to the pri-
soner's lodging in Botolph-alley, Botolph-lane, where he
found his wife with a very severe wound at the back of bee
neck, which helms told had been inflicted by the prisoner with
an iron bolt. After procuring the assistance of a surgeon,
he went to an upstairs room, where he found the prisoner,
and told him that he was charged with wounding his wife
in a dangerous manner, and he must go with him to the
station.honse. The prisoner mid he knew nothing about it
and he should not go, and upon his laying hold of his
collar and attempting to take him out of the room, he
struggled violently, and when they got to the landing he
tripped him up and they both fell together from the top of
the stairs to the bottom. . .

~~The Lord
Mayor inquired if the prisoner's wife wee in
attendance?
The constable said that she had received such a severe
wound that the surgeon did not «snider it safe for her to
oome to the court to give her evidence at present.
A very roepectable-looking young woman, who said she
was the prisoner's daughter, said that her ether, she was
sorry to inform his lordship, wee in the constant habit
of getting drunk, and while in that state he made use of
great violence towards her mother. He had repeatedly
threatened that he would do her some serious injury, and
only a short time before he had knocked her down and brat
her until her face was a mass of bruises.

T`s Lord Mayorftothe wiine;d—Vihat is your father
by trade?
The Witisces—He hag no regular oecnpation, end be
would not work Uhe bed any to do. My mother supports
the family, and if be earns a few shillings he spends it all in
getting drunk.
The prisoner, who merely said in answer to the charge, in
a sulky tone, that be had done nothing to his wife, was r►
mended until she is in a fit state to attend and give
evidence.

THY ROMAN STATES.

The Official Gazette of Turin states from Orvieto
that a grand popular demonstration, in honour of
Marquis Pepoli, took place there in the public
amphitheatre. The cry of "Annexation for ever !"
was responded to by the audience, who rose to a
man with loud cheers. A subscription was imme-
dietely opened there for a bust to Count Cavour.
At Perugia, on the 28th ult., Marquis Pepoli dis-
tributed the colours to the National Guard. They
were the gift of the Marchioness Pepoli and
Princess Bonaparte. Marquis Pepoli's speech on
the occasion was frequently interrupted by cries of
"Viva it Re !" It may be hoped, from the above
news, that the intention at one time entertained
by the French army of occupying Orvieto will not
be realised.
