MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

COWARDLY ASSAULT.-Wm. Thomson, in the employ
of Messrs. Ivall and Large, coachmakers, South Audley.
street, was charged, on a warrant, with violently assaulting
George Parker, shopman in the employ of Messrs. Cook
and Co., coachmakers, Alount •street, Grosvenor-square.
The complainant, an elderly man, and apparently in a bad
state of health, said that on Saturday, the 2d inst., the de-
fendant came to him and said, "Have you. not been saying
something about me to a person," at the same time men-
tioning a name and getting into a violent rage. He told
the defendant that he had better fetch the young man that
he might know what it meant, when the defendant made
use of imprecations coo dreadful to mention. He, feat ing
the defendant would strike him, told him not to touch him,
as he was in a bad state of health, and no sooner had he
uttered the words than the defendant struck him several
violent blows in the face with his fists, and once under the
heart. He (complainant) defended himself as well as he
could, the blood flowing from the wounds in his face till he
was nearly chuked, and then seized a stick to defend him-
self.

In answer to Mr. Fisher, who appeared for the defendant,
the complainant said he did not call the defendant a liar,
and that he only took up the stick to defend himself when
he was attacked by the defendant.
The cetendant was fined 40s. and costs.

THE NEW MARLBOROUGH-STREET POLICE COURT.—
The present ill•suited building for the carrying on of public
business will soon be superseded by a new court of ample
dimensions and excellent arrangement, accommodation
being provided for every person having business to transact.
To professional men having to attend the court this will be
a great boon, the accommodation hitherto provided for them,
owing to the limited size of the court, being of the scantiest
description. Another advantage of the new court, and a
most important one, is, that it will be well ventilated and
warmed. The whole of the offices will be on the ground
floor, and not, as at present, in different parts of the build -
ing, The fittings of the new court are all of varnished deal,
and have a very good appearance. The work has been
carried out in a very excellent manner by Messrs. Holland
and Hannan, builders, of Duke-street, Bloomsbury.

The Price of Gold.

qr.
The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.25 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
at about the same price in London and Paris.
By advisee fromliamburg the price of gold is 421 i per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 sterling.
.t•tandard gold at the English I.lint price is, therefore, about
1-10th per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 163 to 161 per cent., and the premium on
gold. is 49f to 491 per cent. At these rates there is a profit
on the importation of gold from the United States.

THE LAW SOCIETY.—The examiners appointed
for the intermediate examination of persons under
articles of clerkship to attorneys have appointed Thursday,

precisely and close at 4 o'clock. On the day of examina
tion papers will be delivered to the candidate containing
questions to be answered in writing, classed under the
several heads of-1, Preliminary; 2, Common LaNV ;3,
Conveyancing; 4, Book-keeping.
GERMAN AND FRENCH TOYMAXERS.--The great
competitors of the French manufacture of toys are
the Germans, and both nations possess a peculiarfrom talent for
this branch of industry. The export a toys France
has increases tenfold within 30 years, which the French
manufacturers atttribute to their superior taste and to the
great variety of their productions.

THE ARMY.

A garrison court martial, composed of Major Barker, pre-
sident, and six other officers, has been held at the camp at
Colchester for the purpose of investigating a charge against
Sergeant Barker. The prisoner has for some time past been
stationed at Harwich, and there obtained goods to the value
of £lO from several tradesmen, one of whom, having sent
in his account, was informed that the prisoner had reteived
the amount due. The result of the inquiry, which extended
over two days, has, as usual in such cases, not yet been offi-
cially announced.
A War-office circular, accompanied with lithographed
plans, has been forwarded to the different military stations,
from head quarters, requesting returns from each station of
the libraries and reading or recreation rooms at present in
existence and attached to the soldiers' quarters. The plans
show what is to be provided for the soldiers' amusement
when off duty. To all large barracks will be added an in-
dependent one storied building in the rear, containing li-
brary, reading and recreation rooms, with coffee bar, libra-
rians' sitting room, out offices, &c. Small barracks will
have the same description of building, but will have the
reading and recreation room in one, and not separately, as
will be the case with the larger barracks. The recreation
rooms will be furnished with bagatelle, chess, draughts,
solitaire, dominoes, and backgammon.

The Weather

.This Day.

The attendance en the ornamental water this
morning was very numerous, and the continued
severity of the frost rendered the ice much more
secure, but owing to the thin surface being very
uneven the exercise of the favourite pastime was
rendered somewhat difficult. To this circumstance
may be attributed many of the ugly falls which took
place during the day. The sliders were in full force,
and so were the venders of roasted chestnuts, hot and
strong ginger or peppermint drops and many other
winter dainties. The attendance of spectators on
either bank of the water was very great, and
although there was no display of scientific and
graceful evolutions by the skaters to repay their
curiosity, there was plenty of fun occasioned by
the mishaps of the sliders.
The thermometer early this morning marked 14
degrees below freezing point, but in the middle of
the day it stood at 28.
In Hyde park the Serpentine was in much better
condition for the skaters, and thus the display there
was much more attractive.

In Kensington-gardens and Regent's• park the
ice on the ornamental water was crowded with
fashionables. There were several members of the
Skating Club present, and amongst those at the
latter place were several ladies, who created quite a
sensation by their graceful evolutions.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

A very limited supply of beasts was on offer in our mar-
ket to-day, and all breeds moved off freely, at an advance in
the quotations of 2d per Sibs. The best Scots and crosses
realised 5s 4d per 81bs. The show of sheep was very mode-
rate, and the mutton trade was steady, but by no means
active, at Monday's currency. The top figure was 6s per
81bs. We have to report a brisk sale for calves, at au im-
provement in value of 4d per Blbs. Prices ranged from
4s 4d to 5s 4d per Sibs. Pigs were 2d to 4d per 81bs dearer,
and the value of mulch cows was well supported.

THAMES.

OUTRAGE BY A LOAFER.—Thomas Canty, a tall and
powerful fellow, was brought before Mr Partridge charged
with violently assaulting Josiah Green.
Mr Charles Young, solicitor, said the prosecutor was
in the employ of Mr Hugh Campbell, carman to the Sailors'
Home in Well-street, and that he had been often interfered
with in the performance of his duties by bad characters,
crimps, and others interested in preventing sailors from re-
ceiving the benefits of the:,Sailors' Home. The prisoner
was one of those fellows called "loafers," and a very
drunken blackguard. It happened that the complainant
had taken out a summons, on the Surrey side of the
Thames, against a man named Ball, who could not be
found for assaulting him. Yesterday evening the com-
plainant had to bring four sailors from the Shadwell basin
of the London Dock to the Sailors' Home in a cart, He was
met by the prisoner, who said, " You are the man who has
taken out a summons against Ball F" The complainant
said he was, and the prisoner immediately struck him a
violent blow on the eye, and knocked him down. The pri-
soner was very drunk and abusive, and was immediately
taken into custody.
Mr Partridge—What is a loafer ?
Mr C. Young—A touter, and one who sponges on sailors
or knocks them about for the crimps of necessity.

The complainant, who had received a severe braise, con-
firmed the statement of his solicitor.
Daniel Smith, a Thames police-constable, No. 79, saw
the outrage, and corroborated the evidence of Green. The
prisoner was a regular loafer.
The prisoner, in a whining tone, said he was very sorry
for what he had done, and that he was tipsy yesterday. He
worked at any kind of labour.
Mr Partridge—You have committed a very savage
assault, without any provocation at all, You aro sen.
tented to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour.

LEEDS AND HARTLEPOOL.

Surveying staffs are busily engaged and plans being pre-
pared for a line to commence at Leeds, in connexion with.
the London and North-Western, and pass, via Wetherby,
Easingwold, and Helmsley, up Belsdale to Stockton-on-the
Tees. The country is one, although in the north-eastern
district, quite unsaved by railways. The line is to cross
the Church Fenton and Harrowgate, the York and Knares-
borough, the Great North of England, tho Mahon and
Thirsk, and the Stokesby Railways, and by a tunnel through
Ingleby Bank to join the West Hartlepool Railway, thus
gaining access to the great iron, coal, and shipping interests
of the North. At Helmsley it is intended to form
branch, by way of Kirby-moorside, and Pickering
(crossing the Melton and Whitby line), to Scarborough.
The total length of this railway project is about 100 mile,,
and in some parts the country proposed to be traversed
will be found rather difficult. The estimate is stated
to be £1,500,000, or £15,000 a mile. This line will form
a route for the southern lines to Scarborough, totally
independent of the North-Eastern system. The possession
of the great ironstone field and the coast traffic is, how-
ever, a vital matter to the North-Eastern Company, by ei
circular line commencing at Mallon and traversing Rye.
dale by what is known as the Saltonridge to Helmsley,
Kirby, and Pickering, a line of some 30 miles, over au,
almost flat country, serving all the iron valleys, and esti-
mated to cost not more than £z,ooo per mile. This line, in
connection with the existing North-Eastern lines,would, it
is believed, servo the district and prove remunerative,

The Gold Diggings in Vancouver's Island,

The steamer Alexandria arrived last evening
from Sooke, and was the happy bearer of the most
gladsome intelligence to ail interested in the future
of this country which it has yet been our good
fortune to place before our readers. No sooner had
the steamer hauled alongside than the announce.
meat flew round of a 70 dollar nugget being on
board, and that good diggings had been struck on
Leech river. Tt is splendid specimen of gold op
pears to be entirely pure. It is of an oval shape
with a smooth surface, and about the size of a small
hen's egg. On being weighed it was deolared to
contain 4,:z. 61wts., or 73 dollars 20 cents. On
Saturday last four men, named Samuel Booth,
George Munro, John Tyril, and William Dyer, call.
ing themselves the " Industry Company," left Vic-
toria by the Enterprise, and reached the Forks of
Sooke and Leech rivers on Monday at noon. They
proceeded by mistake to the Lake, whence the
Sooke river takes its rise, and returned to the Forks,
camping that night about half a mile up Leech
river. On Tuesday morning early, Booth and
Munro started up the creek to prospect. They went
up about three miles, until they reached a steep
canyon, through which the water rushed with great
rapidity, and, finding it difficult to get through,
they retraced their steps to the camp. Hearing
that good prospects were obtained close by, they
then prospected the right bank of the river, about
a.mile from the Forks. A pick was struck into
the slate rock on the right bank, and, at about the
depth of six inches, they struck a magnificent oval-
shaped nugget of pure gold, complied to be of the
value of 75 dole. Munro hasteued back 'with the
miner'slicenses, to his companions, Tyril and Dyer,
who were left in charge, and, during his absence
(about an hour and a half), they had washed out
about 15 dols.'more of the same coarse gold. Munro
and Booth then hurried down Sooke river to come
to Victoria for provisione.—.British Colonise (Vic-
toria. August 4.)

Mayfield will bo published to warn thoughtful parents and
teachers, whether Christian or not, of the fearful downward
course of the youth of our State, when educated girls of
respectable parents write such letters, and express sympa-
thy with outlaws, thieves, and murderers, more degraded
than the savages who murder the inhabitants of our fron-

are very strong ; and, besides, there is an insuperit
able difficulty to their obtaining employment in
many cases. Both these evils are, in a great mea-
sure, if not altogether, avoided in the distant lands
to which the recommendations of the Commissioners
urged their transportation. The extreme lengths
to which the demurrers to Mr. CARDWELL'S
despatch have thought fit to go in their
zeal is most inconsistent and, reflects little credit
on their judgment, consideration, or respect for the
mother country. " Unless the terms of the existing
arrangement with the Peninsular and Oriental
Company be altered, and the company consent that
their packets shall not touch at any port in Western
Australia, the Government of Victoria will, at the
expiration of six months from the first of Novem-
ber next, cease to contribute their annual subsidy ;
and, further, they will withdraw their offer to join
in establishing a fortnightly service except upon
similar conditions." It is really lamentable to
witness such an example of blinded prejudice on
the part of those who ought by every consideration
of justice and consistency to know better and to act
more wisely. It is strange that the interested or
infatuated arguments of a few should so have influ-
enced the many, but such is often the case, It
is not often, however, in these days, that
we witness such a spirit of intoleration in the old
States of the world, and in the new Colonies that
have sprung up into existence of late years, it is sad,

indeed, to see that such narrow notions have been
growing with their growth and strengthening with
their strength as it were. It is a ♦ery bad illus-
tration to the world of the sense and good feeling
of the Anglo-Saxon race in a new home that they
should thus comport themselves. Whatever foun-
dations some people may have thought the objet..
tion to convict transportation to Western Australia
rested upon, this unjustifiable act of threatening
will do away with entirely. Nothing is ever
gained either in large or small matters by Binh
manifestation of impotent haste and such an exhitl
bition of blind rage, and however much our Govern.
ment may regret the confusion that has arisen, they
cannot, in consistency, now depart from their deter.
minatiori, and they ought not to dojo for the sake
of example.
