THAmEg,

" OM WHAT A FALL WAS THERE, MY COVNTRYMEN."
—Joseph Shepherd, a cab driver, was brought before Mr.
Partridge, charged with being drunk, and unable to take
care of his horse and vehicle.
William Turner, a police constable, N 0.64 H, stated that
he saw the prisoner on the box of his cab this morning at
half-past two in Ratcliff Highway. Tho prisoner was
very drunk, and his horse and vehicle wer3 going from one
side of the road to the other in a zig-zag
direction. At last
the prisoner fell off his box into the road. The horse was
sober—(a laugh)—and went on without the driver, who was
stunned by the fall.
He Picked up the unfortunate man
and assisted in carrying him to the station-house.
Mr Partridge asked the
prisoner if the injuries on his
head and face were caused by the fall.
The prisoner answered in the affirmative. The fall was
a very severe one. It shook him all over, and his head and
face were cut.

Mr Partridge said it was very dangerous for the public
for cabmen to become intoxicated, but in consideration of
the severe injuries which the prisoner received he would
discharge him without a fine.
The prisoner hobbled out of the dock exclaiming, " What
a fall was this, my countrymen I" (Laughter.)
JUVENILE EMBEZZLEDIENT.—SamueI Cowderoy, errand
boy, aged 14, was brought before Mr Partridge, charged
with embezzling the sum of Bs. 7ad. he had received for
and on account of Mr Joseph Maire, a cheesemonger, of
No. 16, Langley-place, Commercial-road.
The prisoner had been in Mr Maire's service for four

of the boy said his son had been pilfering
money and property at various places, and was dismissed
last weak for dishonesty by Air. Wildbore, a surgeon. He
did not mention his son's dishonesty to Mr Maire, because
the boy made solemn promises to behave honestly in future.
The prisoner made no defence, and Mr. Partridge com-
mitted him for trial.

LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1864.

If report be true, her MAJESTY'S Ministers have
thought discretion to be the better part of valour,
and have prudently avoided the risk of another
legal defect. Their "meddling and muddling"

brought them so little credit or profit in the case of

the Alexandra that it has beet considered advisable

to hush up the matter of the rams by effecting a

convenient compromise. There is accordingly to
be no further question as to the ownership of the

El Tonssin and El Monassir, since they are added

to the national possessions, and certainly if the

puhlTc are to psy in either event, it is more satie.
factory to give a larger sum and obtain two first,
class steam rams than to fritter away some thou

sands in carrying a casa from court to court. It
cannot be denied, however, that this movement is
a manifest confession of weakness on the part of the
Government, since, if the rams were really illegally

constructed, they had a right to seize them without

payment. Why give a large EllOll for that which

_ .
was already forfeited to the Crown ? We hope some

explanation will be demanded from the Ministerial
benches of the conduct of this affair. The truth is
that, as in the world famed Schleswig-Holstein

dispute, our Government have suffered themselves

to be drawn into a maze of perplexities and troubles

by their vacillation and one-sidedness. The wan

of an open, straightforward, and decisive policy

which threatens to embroil us with half the Powers

of Europe, will probably end by alienating us from
both the contending parties in the Western Hemi-

sphere. Inconsistency is never respected, and the
very Federals, whose cause has been so much
favoured, now load us with abuse for neglecting

Fatal Occutrences on the Return from Epsom

Last evening, about five o'clock, Mr. William Ford, of
Myrtle Villa, South Lambeth, accompanied by Mrs. Ford,
was driving a phaeton towards home on their return from
the Derby, when nearly opposite the Swan, at Stockwell,
the horse took fright, and whilst endeavouring to avoid col-
lision with the numerous vehicles which crowded the road,
ran with great violence against an omnibus, cawing the
carriage to upset and throwing Mrs. Ford with great force
into the road. She was immediately conveyed to a surgeon,
when it was ascertained she had received severe injuries at
the back of tte head. The unfortunate lady was promptly
conveyed to her home, where she expired an hour after the
sad occurrence. Mr. Ford escaped with some slight bruises.
A fatal accident happened also to Mr. Winslow, a cab pro-
prietor, who resided in Short's-gardens, Drury-lane. He
was proceeding on horseback at a rapid pace along the
andsworth road, when he was thrown from the saddle and
his foot hung in the stirrup with his head on the ground
for a considerable distance. On the horse being stopped Mr
Winslow was released, but died shortly after from the effects
of the frightful injuries he had received.

number, but their general quality was very middling. All
breeds moved off slowly, yet Monday's prices were sup•
ported. The general top figure was 4s 10d per 81b. The
show of sheep was only moderate. Sales progressed slowly
at late rates. The best old Downs realised 5s 4d per 81b.
Lambs were less active than on Monday. Prices, however,
were firm—the current rates being 68 4d to 7s 6d per 81b.
The veal trade was in a sluggish state on former terms—
namely, from 4s 2d to 58 2d par 81b. The demand for pigs
