Mr. Lewis urged the magistrate to adopt the sug-
gestion of the prosecutor, an i stated that everything hue
been done to make atonement for the misconduct of the
60er.'

Mr. HALL said the affair was very discreditable to all
parties; but, from the circumstaixc of all being 'the
worse for liquor at the time of the offence being com
nutted, added to the unwillingness of the prosecutor to
continue the proceedings, there would he, perhaps, some
difficulty in securing a conviction. Under all the cir-
cumstances, therefore, he considered he bad better dis-
pose of it summarily, and, after cautioning the prisoner
not to carry such weapons in future, and also to learn
to govern his temper, he ordered him to pay a fine of
5/., or two months' imprisonment.
The fine was accordingly

ASSAULT.—Frederick Jackson, 31, Great Pulteney-
street, was charged before Mr. Bingham with assaulting
Mr. Frederick Hogden, corn and cool merchant, Barton-
Street, Westminster.
The complainant, who exhibited a shocking black
eye, stated that about half-past twelve on the previous
night he was with some friends at supper at Quin's
oyster-rooms, in the Haymarket, and while enjoying
themselves, one of his friends began singing, when the
defendant, who was sitting in an adjoining box, called
out, " Shut up that noise." One word brought on an-
other, and as complainant was leaving the room, the de-
fendant called him a " sweep," and said he was no gen-
tleman, and had got no miiney. Witness told him he
had got quite as much as he had, and would toss him
for a bottle of wine if he had no objection. This de-
fendant declined, and called him a " sweep" again.
Complainant retaliated in similar language, when the
defendant up with his fist and struck him a blow on the
eye. A constable was then fetched, and the defendant
given in charge.
The accused, in defence, said he was quietly enjoying
a mutton chop, when one of complainant's friends com-
menced singing in a tone more loud than melodious, and
on his (defendant's) telling him to leave off, the com-
plainant came up to him, called him a sweep, and other
foul names, and then squared up to him, and in defence
he (defendant) certainly did strike him.
Mr. BINGUAM thought both were in the wrong, and
recommended the defendant to go out of court and
settle it with complainant in a manner becoming a gen-
tleman.
The defendant then went out of court and offered an
apology to the complainant, which was at once accepted.
Defendant was then discharged.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
William Frederick Colinson, a labourer, was charged
with stealing some workmen's brushes.
It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor,
who had been repairing some house in Fleur de Lie-
court, left the house for a few moments, leaving some
-brushes on the stairs. Upon going outside he saw the
" gentleman" in the box at the street door, and upon
his return the brushes were gone. He met him last
night and gave him into custody, and when he arrived
st the station the prisoner said he would confess, and
that he was sorry for it. When he was searched the
duplicates were found in his possession.
The prisoner said nothing in his defence, and
Mr. TRYWHITT remanded him for the production of
further evidence.

SOUTHWAKK.—(THIS DAY.)
Mary Dellow, a servant in the employ of Mr. Hughes,
the landlord of the Red Lion wine vaults, was brought
before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with robbing her master.
Prosecutor stated that he had recently taken the above
honse, and the prisoner was housemaid at the time. On
several occasions afterwards he missed money; and on
Monday night he called in a police-sergeant, and marked
twenty shillings' worth of silver, for the purpose of de-
tecting the thief, and deposited it in the usual place.
Early next morning he was called upon, and told that
the prisoner had stolen three shillings, which induced
him to give her into custody.
Benjamin Homer, 169 M, said he took the prisoner
into custody, and on searching her boxes he found
about five pounds' worth of silver, and a gold ring be-
longing to her mistress.
Mr. Hughes informed the magistrate that he believed
the whole of the money found in her boxes had been
stolen from him.
Mr. A'BECKETT committed her for trial.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE;
Old Drury was crowded to the ceiling last evening
for the purpose of welcoming back to the metropolitan
boarde, after a too lengthened absence, Miss
,Helen
l'aunit. The character chosen for her rentree was
Juliet, and nothing could exceed the warmth and
cordiality of the greeting with which she was Te-
emed. She seemed in excellent health and spirits,
and never looked or acted better in her life. Replete
With graceful and touching simplicity, yet deeply
pathetic, naive, yet full of intense feeling, her Juliet is
°Jr of the most beautiful of her Shaksperian creations.
She was loudly applauded throughout the perform-
ance,b and at the conclusion called before the curtain.
r• Anderson was the Romeo, and gave a careful
reading of the
• declaimed part and Cooper, as Friar Lawrence,
aimed with due solemnity. Mr. F. Vining acted
utercatio
he bath acted it " time beyond which the
_memory of man runneth not to the contrary," and
Mr. Belton gave a very spirited version of Tybalt.
The Performances concluded with the Pantomime.

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.
The performance at Exeter Hall, last evening,
consisted of two great works of Mendelssohn—the
" Lobgesang," or " Hymn of Praise," and the music
to Racine's lyrical tragedy of Athalie. Buth these
Pieces are now well known to the musical world,
chiefly in consequence of their repeated and admi-
rable performance by the Sacred Harmonic Society.
the " Hymn of Praise," which was first produced
under Mendelssohn's own direction at the Birming-
ham Festival in 1840, has become one of the stock-
pieces of the Society. The music of Athalie, written
towards the close of the author's too brief but splen-
did career, bears the stamp of his genius when it had
reached its greatest elevation. It is a work in which
the utmost grandeur and sublimity are combined with
the breadth, clearness, and simplicity which are the
attributes of Art in its highest state of cultivation.
Last night's performance of both these works came
near to perfection. The solo singers were Mrs. En-
dersohn, Miss Dolby, Miss Williams, and Mr. Lockey,
and the band and chorus numbered nearly seven
hundred performers. The hall was densely crowded—
Lot a vacant seat to be found in any part of the
building.

REUNION DES ARTS.
This admirable society gave, last night, its tenth
cessively-crowded company. The musical programme,
as usual, was excellent. It would be superfluous
B°irde of the winter season, to a very elegant and ex.
to criticise separately the pieces of classic music, as
Well as the artists individually, who performed it, who
roe the first of which this society can boast; and who
acquitted themselves with great credit, and deserved
the reception which they received frr m all the
company. The first part ope ned with Beethoven's
" Sonata," played by Madame and Mr. Goffrie ;
after which a duet, " Maria Bettina," sung by the
Misses MiAlpiae; followed by Ytozsrt's trio, played by
?tlessrs.Gollusick, Boose, and Goffrie. This was succeeded
byMme. L-maire's beautiful sons, (grand air dela Favou-
rite), and the grand trio of Beethoven in B flat, most
exquisitely played by Messrs. liliallmark, Goffrie, and
Goodban, finished the first part. The second part
com-
menced with the brilliant duet by Miss Humming and
Mr. Goffrie, followed by a sang by
Mrs. Wallack,

accompanied by Mr. Kiall ark on the piano

LORD PALMERSTON AND THE R EpRE-
SEA? TA TI ON OF THE ClTy
At a meeting of the City of London Tradesmen'
s
Club, held at Anderton's Hotel last evening, to take into
further consideration the propriety of taking 'swim to
secure the return of Lord Pal merston as a representative
of the city of London, at the next general election, the
honorary secretary read a reply from his Lordship to a
communication that had been made to him, of the reso-
lutions that had been passed by the club, and which
were published in our columns about a fortnight since.
His Lordship expressed his deep sense of the honour
proposed to be conferred upon him, saying that if he
had no previous obligations, the honour of representing
the city of London in the House of Commons,
would be an object of first and legitimate ambition;
but the fact of his having been for many years connected
with the borough of Tiverton, where he had formed many
dear friendships, materially altered the case. Unless the
mstituency of Tiverton should be disposed to sever the
political connexion now, and for so long happily sub-
sisting between them, he should be extremely unwilling
to accept of even the high honour which the City of Lon-
don Tradesmen's Club had expressed a generous desire
to confer upon him. His Lord ship's letter was ordered
to be entered upon the minutes of the club, the general
impression of the members being, that as he had not de-
clined the invitation made to him, but had only stated
that he should be " extremely unwilling" to sever his
connexion with the electors of Tiverton, it remained
with the constituency of the city of London to confer
Upon him the honour of representing them in Parliament.

CLEnicAL INquiny.—Rumours have been in cir-
culation, during the last few days, pointing to instances of
uxdue interference at the sick bed of a parishioner, by one
of our neighbouring clergymen. We understand that the
matter is likely to be laid before the bishop of the diocese,
in the form of a complaint against the clergyman referred
to, by the medical gentleman, who was engaged in the case.
