Hoosz.—L. Herds, fatness& in the service of S.r John Bur-
goyne, Bart., wan charged with violently &candling Police-
oedema &ill 7, No. 17 F division, while in the execution of
his duty.
It appeared from the evidence that since the opening cf
the helium Opera at Covent-garden Theatre, the polies have
been authorised to manage the sitting down and taking up
by the carriages, and rules and regulations have been made
fur the drivers to stop in the various streets adjoining the
theatre. The pollee have had considerable trouble in
enforcing the regulations, and extra polioe•constables have
been placed near the ranks for that special duty. Last even-
ino the house was crowded to excess' and the streets being
lull of carriages, the polies had great difficulty in preserving
order. At the conclusion of the opera, and as the carriages
were proceeding in their turn to the doors, the defendant
called his coachman, who drove his carriage out of the line,
and on reaching the Imperial Hotel, Covent-garden, he was
unable to proceed any further, and the w.y was blocked up.
Police-sergeant Stilly, who was on duty there at the time, told
the coachman that he could not stop there. The coachman
then wanted to drive into the line again, and the sergeant
refused to allow him to do so, and said it would be unfair
to the other coachmen who were waiting their tam. The
coachman then drove across the line' and the sergeant
caught hold of the roils to prevent him. The coachman
then struck the sergeant with his whip across his fingers.
At this time the defendant came up and caught hold of the
sergeant in a violent manner by the collar of his coat, and
pulled him down. Stilly fell upon the pavement between
the horses and a eab, and narrowly escaped being run over.
If he had not caught hold of the pole of the carriage as he
fell be certainly would have beau run over. Reilly got up
and the defendant was taken into custody, and et the station-
bones he expressed his regret at the occurrence.
Mr. Jardine asked Sally why the coachman Was not taken
into custody ?
Stilly said the coachman drove off, and when he saw kiss
afterwards Lady Burgoyne was in the carriage with her
friends. _

At Darmstadt the government have advertised for
tenders for a loan for two million of guilders, to btar
Intelsat at the rate of 4E pee cent. per annum, payable
in Darmstadt or Frankhrt. The offers, which must
be made in writing and sent in sealed, will be opened
in public on the Ist August, and the loan will be
awarded to the most favourable bidder, payment to
be made in coin of the south of Germany, or in Hesse
Darmstadt ground rent bands, against bonds with
interest coupons.
Aecounte have been received this afternoon from
St. Petersburg to the 17th. They happily allay the
apprehension created by the news received by the
last mail of a firs having broken out, which was left
burning in a dangerous quarter when the mail was
dsepatebed •It appears that on the morning
of the 1811, between eight and nine o'clock, the
large tannery next below Cazalet's premises, on the
north aide of the river, and opposite to the Tallow
Wharf, which is en the south side of the river, took
fire, and Is banns bear the whole range of boildhige
down to the point opposite to Gantouyeff Island was
in a blaze. • Shortly after, moreover, the Brimstone
Wharf, in that is'ond, took fire. A great part of the
brimstone, being in casks, was rolled away and
saved; bat seven or eight tanneries, and all the bouts
teethe extent of three-quarters of an English mile along
the river below Cutlet's, were completely destroyed,
with the wooden wharfs and property to a large
amount, mostly uninsured. The Fire Insurance
Companies, it is stated, will loose but little—the First
or Russian Fire Insurance Company from six to
seven thousand pounds sterling ; but this is as yet
uncertain. The fire was burning brightly at mid-
night, and though completely got under, was at date
scarcely extinguished. Had the wind been north,
the Tallow Wharf and the adjoining government
wharfs would probably have gone.
According to letters of the Bth from Moscow, the
Charkow Wool Fair this year bad not been so well
attended as is usually the case, and the quantity of
wool brought to market was about 120,000 poods, or
about 30,000 poods less than the usual average. This
deficiency is accounted for by the mortality amongst
some of the better flocks during the winter 1848-
49, and the quality in consequence was not so good,
it being generally asserted, that in the scouring it
will produce 5 per cant. lees in quantity than formerly.
Of the quantity exposed for sale, about 40,000 poods
were deposited with the Charkowl Wool Company
against advances, and about 65,000 poods were dis-
posed of at S. R. 5.15 to 7 for grease wool, and R. 8
to 12.85 for washed wool per pood, being
the extreme prices for the I>w and fine qualities, or
about 15 per cent. higher than last year. About
3,000 poods were taken for export by an English firm
in Taganrog.
