PRETINDID CONSPIRACY TO ASSASSINATE THE BIRO OT

PRUSSIA.

Gustav Victor end Moril;l;ord° were brought up on
remand, charged with obtaining money by false pretences
from Mr. Herman Rick, a clerk in the Chanoellerie of the
Prussian embassy.
Mr. Abrams conducted the prosecution for the Prussian
embassy. Mr. Lewis, sen., appeared to watch the GUS for
the Baron Biome, the late Hanoverian ambassador.
Mr. Abrams opened the use, from which it appeared
that the prisoners had in the early part of the present
month made application to the Prussian embassy, repre-
senting that a person named Hamrick, a Hanoverian, was
engaged in a plot with several other Hanoverian, adhe-
rents of the late King of Hanover, to asausinate the
King of Prussia, and offering to give information
to expose the plot on the condition that they
should be rewarded, or at least supplied with
money for loss of time and current expenses, while occu-
pied in assisting the police to carry on the investigation.
Mr. Rick told them they would be rewarded if their state-
ment was found to be true. He did, however, advance to
them some small sums of money, which he told them he
paid out of his own pocket. They proceeded to give
information which turned out to be fallacious. This informa-
tion referred to Baron Blame, and several other gentlemen
of undoubted high character of whom it was unquestion-
able that they were far above suspicion of countenancing
any such plot, even if it had any existence. One of their
assertions was that Emerich'had brought a large quan-
tity of " Orsini bombe^ from abroad, and was about to
smuggle them into Prussia, and that Boron Biome bad
supplied him with money for that purpose.
Mr. Lewis said that Baron Biome, who need hardly
stoop to repudiate connexion with any such foul and
dastardly plot—supposing it to exist—had instructed him
to take proceedings for libel against Victor, as the writer
of the letters. He (Mr. Lewis), therefore, applied for a
summons against Victor for libel, to be served and heard
at the conclusion of the present case.
The summons was granted.
Mr. Abrams then proceeded to call -witnesses in support
of the original charge, and the use was proceeding when
our report left.

John Henry Salinas, aged 28, descr
ginger, living at No. 2, Queen-street, Southwark, was
brought before Mr. Knox, charged with causing a crowd
of persons to assemble and obstructing the public thorough-
fare of Leather-lane, St. Andrew's, by singing seditious
songs to the annoyance of the inhabitants and ramengers.
David Jones said —I reside at No. 2i, St. Andrew's-hiU,
Doctor's-eommons, and am a Garibaki maker. About a
quarter ge II on Saturday night I was passing through
Leather-lane, and I heard the defendant singing some
songs of a Fenian nature, he had collected an immense
crowd, and as I considered the wing to be of a most sedi-
tious character I communicated with the polies.
Police-sergeant Henry Phillips, 10 G, said—l heard the
prisoner singing a song, and purchased) one from him ; there
was a great crowd, and the song appeared to cause great
excitement. Considering the song to be treasonable I took
the defendant into custody. I produce the song. On
searching him I found a bundle of the songs, and a copy of
the Usirrranl Nero, dated the kith January.
The prisoner said he did not know that there was any-
thing wrong about the song, as there was nothing about
Fenianiem in it.
Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner for a week, in order
that the police might make inquiries concerning him.

TUE IMPORTATIoN OF FOREION CATTLE.—The
Essex Chamber of Agriculture met on Friday at the Shire-
ball, Chelmsford, for the purpose of discusuog the beet
means of preventing the introduction and spread of foreign
cattle, sheep, and swine. Mr. J. W. Ferry Watlington, the
president, took the chair. Mr. J. S. Gardiner, of Borley,
opened the discurelor., and gave some statistics relating to
the effect. of various diseases among cattle and traced the
introduction of those diseases to the imported animals. He
advocated the slaughtering of all fat cattle at the Tort of
debarkation, and the keeping store cattle in quarantine for
a period of 14 days; that these animals should have places
appropriated to them contiguous to a market, sot t they
might not be mixed with English cattle. He moved the
following resolution :--'• That this meeting thinks it is
absolutely necessary that there should be by law esta-
blished at the ports of debarkation slaughterhouses for the
compulsory slaughter of foreign fat cattle, and place. of
quarantine for store cattle, and that regulations should be
made for the sale thereof, and special space provided in the
dead meat markets for the sale of all foreign carcases."
The resolution was supported by Sir T. Western, M.P.
who advocated the additions of sheep and pigs. Sir Bridges
Henniker advocated separation of foreign from home
cattle at all markets. The resolution, after considerable
discussion, was agreed to as amended. No opinion was
pronounced as to the duration of the quarantial ne.

The Recorder in paring ardenfle, said that in the gismos
of any information*" to the eirouneranoes connected with
the second marriage, the court mud deal with the ore is
it stood. The defendant had deliberately committed a
very grave offence, and one that was calculated to do *airs
injury to the person who was the victim of it. There did
not appear to be any extenuation for his conduct, and the
sentence be felt bound to pre upon him was that he be
imprisoned and kept to bard labour for eighteen months.

The C 14•111.11•11 moved their adoption. He said six
months, ago their affairs were in a rather gloomy posi-
tion and they had to take 10,0001. from the reserve
fund to make up the dividend. One-hell of that
amount was now restored to the reserve fund. He had no
doubt the other half would soon follow; and but for the
leeway which had to be made up, there woad now be
some increase of dividend. During the half-year the de-
posits bad augmented by 40,0001.; 2,0001. a year wee set
aside on account of the promisee, and that would continue
till they were reduced below their value. Business in
Australia was in an improved position, and they had every
reason to 'congratulate each other on the position and the
prospects of the bank. (Cheers.)
Mr. Bonny, in seconding the motion, expressed his
satisfaction with the report. Generally speaking be was
opposed to the accumulation of a large reserve fund, but
as regarded the 5,0001. he thought the directors were
quite right in restoring it to its former position.
Kr. GODFREY did not agree with the bat proprietor as
regarded the value of a reserve fund. In his opinion
a large neervefund was neorocarylto keep a bank in a sound
position.
Mr. Bomar, in explanation, remarked that a reserve
fund quieted in the case of several banks which had failed.
What he meant was that they must rely, not on a reserve
fund, but on good management.
The CIIIAIRMAX observed that it was not the intention
of the board to increase the dividend until the reserve fund
had been made up to 50,0001. (Hear, hear.)

The Ciuraithir, in moving its adoption, said that under
the peculiar eircusistancee of the past half-year, although
they had no brilliant dividend (5 per cent.) to Distribute,
the report must be considered as satisfactory. The report
was so minute that he need not detain them long. The
object of the directors was to develops a sound and first-
class discount business, and they had made great progress
in attaining that object. With regard to the lock-ups, he
repeated what he told thembefore, that they lent money to
the London, Chatham, and Dover Company, and that there
was little doubt that they would at one time or another
get it back. The Portuguese lock-up was in a eatisfeetesy
state of settlement. The depoeits were gradually increasing,
and no company_offered better security for deposits than
this company. He looked over the accounts himeelf, and
he could assure them that they were op to Thursday last

They did not look forward so much to the speedy distri-

THE NEW LINE OF THE METROPOLITAN
RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.)

Tho opening of the new line of railway took
place this morning—for vods traffic only. The convey-
taco of several heavy tre.ms between the Great Northern,
and London, Chatham, end Dover Railways was effected
with perfect success. Mr. Crepp, the chief inspector of the
railway, accompanied each two over the new line belong:
fog to that company. The independent navies which
will
he afforded the Metropolitan line owing to the separate
communications between the Midland, Great Northern,
and London, Chatham, and Dover railways will, it is
thought, prove a great boon to the company. At the
present time there are no leas than 174 down,
and the like number of up trains between
King's-crow and Farringdon.street during the day.
and notwithstanding the rapid means of conveyance it
frequently happens that passengers are left behind at both
stations. But when the new line Is opened for passengers
there will be little fear of want of accommodation. There
will he but little, if any, diminution in the number of the
trains ; and the convenience to passengers travelling for
distant parts, and not having to change carriages or shift
their luggage, will be great.

MURPHY RIOTS AT ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE.

The notorious Murphy, whose proceedings in
various parts of Lancashire and elsewhere have caused suoh
serious commotions, is now at Ashton-under-Lyne, and
has succeeded in throwing • firebrand amongst the
English and Irish populations of that town. He has en-
gaged a large room in the heart of the town as the theatre
of his performaeoes, and nightly, for more than • week
past, he has delivered addresses against Popery, in terms
which have roused his hearers to • state of great excite-
ment. Mr. Murphy professes to believe that his denun-
ciations of Roman catholicism have placed his life in
danger; but he also professes to have no fear of the result.
He repudiates the idea of being protected by the police,
and announces that he is his own mayor and policeman.
Mr. Murphy does not, however, rely solely upon his own
personal prowess to keep the Irish population at bay.
He has a bodyguard of athletic protestant', who are
~Musty armed with revolvers and bludgeons ; and the
lecturer himself ostentatiously parades • bran-new
ten-chambered pistol. Surrounded by his guard, and
armed with his revolver, Murphy appeared upon the
platform on Thursday night, amidst a storm of applause.
A denunciation of the Pope,the chief constable of Ashton,
and a portion of the local prom, formed the prologue to
an address on the subject of the " Seven pretended
Sacraments of Rome." Suddenly, a stone was thrown
through one of the windows, and • scene of the
wildest confusion arm, the meeting being under the
Impression that they were about to be attacked by
the Irish. It is said that the atone was thrown
by an Irish navvy. After a short time had been
spent in shouting, it was resolved to attack the Roman
catholic chapel in Burlington-street. The meeting
formed a procession, and marched to the attack singing
" Rule Britannia." Stones were thrown at the chapel
windows, and considerable damage was done, but the
'Mayor (T. H. Dornton, Esq.), Mr. Dulgleish, the chief
constable, with • number of police officers, arrived in a few
minutes, and the crowd was prevailed upon to desist A
large detachment broke off from the main body and
weut to the quarter of the town which is known as Little
Ireland. There they smashed doors and windows.
No attempt at retaliation was made by the Irish
until late in the night, when a counter-demoustra.
Lion was organised. A large body of Irishmen,
many of them formidably armed, assembled and threat-
ened to attack the protestant churches. Fortunately
the chief constable had sufficient influence over the
crowd to induce them to disperse on the mummer of
I protection from the authorities. The magistrates met in
the court-house and ordered about 160 special constables
to be enrolled. Ashton-under-Lyne is • borough with •
population of 40.000, and the police force comprises 20
available men. It will be obvious that such a force is
ludicrously inadequate to maintain order in the town in
periods of excitement. At the hermits there are a troop
of cavalry and four companies of foot, and in the last re-
sort this force would be at the disposal
of the civil autho-
rities.
On Friday night Murphy lectured again, under the pro-
' tection of • band of men armed with with revolvere, stares,
and miscellaneous wespons, and his own revolver was
also in readiness. The Irish bad assembled several
hundreds strong, in the Burlington-street Chapel, to
resist any attack upon the building. The special con-
stables were called up and placed in the town-hall.
Murphy adopted a more than usually belligerent tone,
and informed the audience that he intended, if he were
called upon to die, to die well. Fortunately Dia courage
was not put to the test ; but at one period of the evening
a disastrous collision between the English and the Irish
mobs seemed imminent. The Irish hail guarded Alma-
bridge, on the way to Dukinfield, to prevent a renewal of
disturbances which had been committed there by bands
of roughs from Ashton. The police end special con-
stables cleared the way, but the Irish seemed anxious
to provoke •• fight, for which many of them were well
prepared.
At three o'clock on Saturday morning, an alarm was
raised that a mob was coming from Dukinfield to attack
the Roman catholic chapel. The chief constable m-
ambled his men rind a company of the specials, and
went into Little Ireland, where he found the Irish stand-
ing et the doors of their houses, in a state of feat ex-
citement. They were in readiness to defend their bounce
and the chapel, had an attack been made, but nothing of
the kind was attempted. Mr. Daigleisli ordered the Irish
to give up their weapons, and was obeyed without resist-
ance. Amongst the arms thus secured were pokers by
the dozen, axes, cleavers, portions of scythe blades fitted
with handles so that they could be used as swords, iron-
