THAMES.

THE QUEEN OF TILE TARTARS.—VIOLENT ASSAULT
IN lIIE COURT.—Ann Walker, aged, 33, a turbulent,
drunken, and ferocious woman, who has been frequently
in custody, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged
with assaulting her husband, Thomas Walker, a labourer,
in the service of the Trinity-house, Corporation; and also
assaulting Thomas Bogg, 603 K, and George Syer, 481 A.
The complainant Walker said his wife instead of being
a comfort to him was the bane of his life. She was an
incorrigible drunkard. She had continually robbed her
children of things he brought home to make them com-
fortable, and spent the proceeds in gin and beer. Last
night she was again drunk, and made a disturbance in New
Gravel-lane, Shadwell. She abused him and called him
fearful names, because he would not give her money.
She then assaulted him and struck him several times.
She had been in the practice of stripping his home and rais-
ing money on his property to purchase liquors, and did not
care what weapon she used in her drunken fits. He was in
danger of his life, and begged of the magistrate to protect
him.
Two police-constables deposed to the violence of the pri-
soner, her dreadful imprecations and blasphemy last night,
and the assaults upon them. She struck one of them (Syer,
431 A) on the mouth with her fist in the station-house, and
caused it to bleed copiously.
The prisoner, in defence, called her husband a vagabond,
wretch, thief, and other 'names, and said, " I'll pay you
out." She then advanced to the end of the dock and throw
a thick slice of bread and butter at her husband, and said,
" Take that, you I'll murder you, I will." The
bread, which was flung with great force, struck the man on
the left eye. He staggered from the effects of the blow,
and immediately his eye was much inflamed. The bread
was hard and stale.
The prisoner's husband was again sworn, and deposed to
the new assault, which every one is court witnessed.
Mr. Partridge asked the man how long he had been
married to the prisoner.
Witness—l was married to her one week before the Queen
was married.

Mr. Partridge said the prisoner was a bad, violent, and
disgraceful woman, and had sold her own child's clothes
for liquor—in fact, spending all sae could in drink. He
sentenced her to two months' imprisonment and hard labour
for the assault on her husband, one month for the assault
on Bogg, and one month for the assault on Syer—in all
four months' imprisonment,
The prisoner gave utterance to arl oath, and said to her
husband, " Now, you —, yeu are satisfied, I know.''

DENMARK.

Earl GREY asked the noble lord whether, when the
noble lord, not now in his place, brought forward his
motion with respect to Denmark, he would take the same
objection to a discussion on the subject, similar to that he
did previous to the Easter holidays, and whether he would
object to a discussion being taken in the early part of the
correspondence on the subject that had been laid on the
table.

Earl RUSSELL said he could not now say that papers
were to be laid on the table or negotiations were now going
on, because all the Pcwers had agreed to a conference.
He should not object to a discussion, neither did he think
it desirable to separate the correspondence in order that
different parts of it might be separately discussed.
THE LEASES AND SALES OF SETTLED
ESTATES ACT. ENCLOSURE OF HAMP-
STEAD-HEATH.

Lori C R,AN WORTH moved the second reading of this
bill, which he said was merely for the purpose of improving
an act of Parliament passed some eight years ago, which
enabled certain estates to be improved by granting building
leases.

The Earl of MALMESBURY approved of the bill.
The LORD CHANCELLOR also thought the bill would
simplify matters which now were left in doubt by the
former bill.
The bill was read a second time.

INDIAN CARRYING COMPANY .

The report of the directors states that the progress of the
company's affairs continues to be satisfactory. Of the new
shares offered to the proprietors upwards of 20,090 have been
taken up and paid on by them, and the available capital as
it now stands will, in the directors' opinion, suffice for the
present for the requirements of the company. Since the last
meeting letters have been received from the chairman of the
company, Sir M. Stephenson, who has been visiting the
three principal seats of the company's operations, Bombay,
Madras, Calcutta. He expresses himself satisfied with the
arrangements and the prospects of the company in India.
The accounts for the half-year ending 31st Dec. last, so far
as they have been received, show gross returns in the three
Presidencies contrasting very favourably with those of the
preceding half. years, and the directors have reason to ex-
pect that the result of the current half year will prove at
least as satisfactory. As the complete accounts for the pe-
riod are not yet in their possession, the directors have not
considered it judicious to propose to the shareholders to
make any increase on this occasion in the dividend. They
therefore recommend that a dividend at the same rate as cm
the previous occasion, viz , 6 par cent per annum, be de-
clared for the half year ending Dec. 31, 1863. In order to
enable the directors to lay before the shareholders the result
of the working made up to June 30 and Dec. 31 respectively
preceding the half-yearly meetings, the direc ors, with the
advice of the company's solicitors, have prepared special
articles for the regulation of the company, under which the
future general meetings can be held in the months of May
and November, or at such other times as may be found ex •
pedient.

HOUSE OF LORDS--Last Evening.

THE BOMBARDMENT OF SONDERBURG.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY drew the attention of
the noble earl the Secretary of Foreign Affairs to the tele-
gram stating that Sonderburg had been bombarded by the
Prussians without any previous knowledge to the inhabi-
tants. He could not say the statement was true. He
hoped it was not, but if it was, it was one of the most out-
rageous acts ever perpetrated, not only in civilized, but un-
civilized nations. He trusted that if such was likely to be
repeated, the British fleet would be at once despatched to
put a stop to such cowardly and most terrible atrocities.

Earl RUSSELL said he had seen the telegram, and he
had taken steps to know whether it was true. In the course
of a feu days he should be in the possession of correct in•
formation, and until that time he must defer giving any
opinion on the subject.

One of ierd Nelson's Veterans.

A correspondent, signing himself "An Old
Sailor," writes to us to say—
" That while men are vying with each other in lavishing
memorials, trophies, and testimonials, the birthi.lace of one
who stands so prominent in English history should at the
present day be barely traceable." Our correspondent adds,
"Last autumn I made a pilgrimage to Burnham Thorpe, and
had great difficulty in ascertaining a site which should be
hallowed by every Englishman. My inquiry of an inhabitant
of the village, whether he could point out to me the spot
where Lord Nelson was born, was met by the reply, that
he knew nothing at all about that ;' but greater pertinacity
on my part led to my being conducted through a farm-yard,
and sho sn by a female,where had stood the house in which
the immortal hero was born, but where there is nothing now
to indicate it but an old pump."

[We have received from W. A. the munificent anonymous
offering of L i for the " Old Victory Man," whose destitute
and neglected condition was mentioned in our impression of
yesterday.—Ed. 'Fun.]

MANSION-HOUSE. List evening the Lady
Mayoress (Miss Lawrence) gave a grand juvenile
ball at the Mansion-house. Tho company, about 800 in
number, was composed chiefly of the younger members,
between the ages of eight and 16, of the families of the al-
dermen, the members of the Common Council, the principal
officers of the corporation, and many other of the citizens,
with the parents in all cases. The Lady Mayoress received
her guests, who began to muster about seven o'clock, n the
grand saloon, which was decorated for the °cession with a
choice selection of exotic flowers and plants. Dancing
commenced shortly afterwards in the Egyptian
lasting until 10 o'clock, when supper was served in an
apartment in the upper part of the house capable of accom-
modating 250 visitors at one time. About 50 of the Cadet
corps of the London Rifle Brigade, under the command of
Sergeant Ladd, lined the entrance to the Mansion-house,
12 of whom, chosen by lot, were invited to the ball. During
the evening light refreshments were served in the Long
Parlour, in which was a fine display of ancient plate of the
corporation, and all the principal apartments of the house
were thrown open to the guests, The company separated

to-day were small. Both for red and white qualities the

derate. Millers operated cautiously, and a limited business
Was transacted in all descriptions, at late rates.

quotations.
The supply of barley on offer was moderate. Generally
speaking the trade ruled quiet, at late currencies.

Mr. ONSLO W asked the Under Secretary of State for
War, whether his attention has been called to the vast
superiority of the Prussian breech-loading rifles in the
Danish campaign, as described in the letter of the Times'
correspondentfrom Sonderburg ?

The Marquis of HARTINGTON said he had no reason
to believe that the breech loading rifles in question were
superior to those given out to our own army, and it was
necessary to give the latter a fair trial.

LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 1664.

Mr. GLADSTONE'S Budget for the new year is,
all things considered, about the very happiest among
all his achievements as a financier. As his three
hours speech of last evening is certainly about the
most lucid among his highly elaborated financial
statements. This much at least it is satisfactory to
remark at once and without a moment's hesitation.
Perhaps never more conspicuously than it did last
night, did the House of Commons, while the Great
Rhetorician and it may be said also the Great Arith-
metician was rolling forth his sonorous periods—
listen delighted. It was agreeable to know for cer-
tain, as the house did from the very outset,
that the particular doubt that had to be
cleared up by Mr. GLADSTONE through his Finan-
cial Statement (subject of course when it should be
completed to the approval or condemnation, the ac-
ceptance or rejection of the Housein committee), was
—not how much should be put on and where, but
where and how much should be taken off. It was,
otherwise to express it, delightfully notorious before
c VET the Right Hon. the SPEAKER vacated the
Chair of the House in order that Mr. MASSEY
might assume the Chair of the Committee, that
a clear surplus of some two millions and a half
starling had to be dealt with by the Chancellor of
the Exchequer in the way of remission or redistri-
bution., Without following the ingenious orator'
through the ranges of his intricate 4 and yet most
symmetrically arranged labyrinth of a Financial
Statement, before the pre-arranged period arrived
when ne admitted those who
i followed his foot-
steps patiently along all its sinuous wind-
ings, until after having threaded the whole
involved maz:, he cunningly let them at
the very last moment as it were into tho hitherto
carefully concealed central heart of his labyrinth
we can now simply just take one gratified glance
at what lies there in compensation before the en qairer
in that core or concentrated point of the financial
labyrinth. In brief, then, Mr.
—LA DSTON E avails
himself of his surplus of £2,500,000 by proposing to
remit taxation to the tune of more than £2,225,000.

Preparations for the Reception of Garibaldi
in London.

The united sub-committees met last night at 10,
Bolt-court, Fleet-street, and were enabled to bring
their arrangements for the reception of Garibaldi,
on Monday nest, almost to a completion, The
South Western Railway directors have very hand-
somely placed a special train at the disposal of the
general and his suite, wl-lich has been accepted.
They have also resolved to lay down a carpet on
the platform, upon which the addresses are to b 3
presented, and have left nothing undone which can
conduce to the comfort of the illustrious visitor.
Mr. Stapleton (common councilman) has placed
a dozen carriages and horses at the service of
the committees, and the London General Omni
bus Company have beep equally liberal. The
committees are overwhelmed with applica-
tions for tickets of admission to the rail-
way station, and a large number of one guinea
subscriptions to the Garibaldi Fund have been re-
ceived during yesterday, entitling the subscriber to
two tickets. At a delegated meeting of the Ancient
Order of Foresters, held yesterday, a resolution was
adopted recommending the whole of the brethren in
the London district to attend the procession on
Monday in full regalia. Similar meetings of the
Odd Fellows and Old Friends have been held with

the same result. Finsbury-square, Paddington-
green, Lincoln's-in-fields, Borough-road, Bermond-
sey-square, and ether large spaces, have been ap-
pointed for the local societies to meet, and being
joined together, to march on to the Nine Dais
Station. Oae hundred men have been specially
appointed to act as marshals of the procession, who
wear a distinctive badge, and every possible precau-
tion has been taken to prevent confusion. The
bands of music will be very numerous, and the dis-
play of banners very large.
