MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CAUTION TO OMNIBUS PROPRIETORS AND HORSE.
xEEPERB.-Mr. Henry Ward, omnibus proprietor, of
Stanley-mews, Paddington, and Henry Cunningham,
horsekceper in his employ, appeared to answer the com-
plaint of Mr. Wm. Love, chief officer of the Royal Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, of causing ahorse
to be cruelly ill treated by sending it out while in a totally
unfit state for work,

The driver of the horse was charged at this court a few
days since and fined 205., and the prestnt proceedings then
ordered to be taken.

Mr. Love attended to watch the case.
From the evidence of Choyce and Temperley, two of the
society's officers, it appeared that while in Oxford-street
they saw a man in Mr. Ward's employ driving a /Air of
horses attached to an omnibus laden with passengers. The
off-side horse had four large raw wounds under the collar,
and into which the collar was pressing. They then took
the driver into custody, and he was fined 200. Choyce
afterwards saw the defendant Cunningham, who admitted
harnessing the horse and Bonding it out ; that he knew
there were wounds on the horse, as ho had dressed them
with fuller's earth before putting on the harness, and that
the horse had been ill for several days. Cunningham also
told the officer that ho had informed Mr. Ward that the
horse was ill, and that Mr. Ward told him to keep it in.
Choyce also saw Mr. Ward. who stated that he had given
Cunningham orders to keep the horse in.

Mr Ward said he was not aware of the condition of the
horse, sometimes not seeing his horses for a month at a
time.

The magistrate said the appearance of the horse was
enough to make one shudder, and it was Mr Ward's duty
to see the condition the horses were in before they were
vent out.

Mr Cherry, the Government vetorinarysurgeon, said
Mr. Ward was either very careless or reckless as to
his horses, and was one amongst a few bad proprietors of
horses he had had to deal with,

The Magistrate said he entertained a doubt in this case
whether the master could not be made responsible for the
act of his servant. He should fine the defendant Cunningham
40s. or fourteen days, and discharged the defendant Ward,
who, at the same time, he considered was bound in honesty
to pay Cunningham's fine.

THE INDIAN BUDGET,

REDUCTION OF THE IMPORT DUTIES.
(By Telegraph from Suez.)
CALCUTTA, April 14.
Sir Charles Trovelyan has introduced his budget

in the Legislative Council. The surplus for the
year 1863.64 amounted to £30,000.
The surplus for the year 1864-65 is estimated at
£820,600,

The 10 per cent. import duties are reduced to 71
per cent. The valuation of piece goods and yarns
is adjusted to the market rates, thus doubling the
duty.

The tobadeo duty is reduced to 10 per cent.

PORTUGAL,
LISBON, April 24.

This letter will be forwarded by th© steamer
Maria Pia, belonging to the Portuguese Steam
Company, Lusitania.
The tobacco monopoly was to have been sup-
pressed on May 1, but the debates in the House of
Deputies had delayed the bill so long that the Go-
vernment agreed with the Peers in Committee to
alter the clause for suppression to Jan. 1, 1865.
The Bill thus amended, now under debate, and
likely to pass the Upper House, is very creditable
to the Administration, and the public satisfaction
ought to encourage them to follow the same liberal
policy in other respects.
The price of Portuguese stock has been well main-
tained here at Hi to 501. Exchange on London,
53Z- for three months' bills.

It is understood the Bill for the sale of the
Barreiro Railway and the extensions contracted
with the South Eastern of Portugal Railway Com-
pany is to be immediately brought befot e the Cortes,
as also that some definitive course will be adopted
before the close of the Legislative Session respecting
the Cintra line and Lisbon docks, so long in
abeyance.

WESTMINSTER.

ILL-REQUITED SOLICITUDE.—EIizabeth Driscoll and
Elizabeth Beat, the former of whom bad a child three years
old with her, were charged with being drunk and disorderly
at the Gun Tavern, Lupus• street, Pimlico.
George Everest, 76 B, said that, at 8 o'clock last night,
he found the defendants outside the tavern in question
making a disturbance. Ile requested them to go away, but
they refused, and as some persons collected he found it
necessary to take them to the station.
Driscoll, in defence, said that it all arose out of the
shameful conduct of the barman. She and her friend went
into the house to have a pint of beer, when she sat her
little girl upon the counter because it was tired, when the
barman found great fault, and insisted upon her taking
it down. She objected, and, words ensuing, she and her
friend were put out of the house, and then taken by the
policeman.
_

Mr. Selfe—The counter of a tavern does not sewn to
me to be a very proper place to Beat a chilli.
Driscoll--The poor dear was tired, and, I am sure, could
do no harm.

Mr. Selfe called the barman, who said he certainly had
spoken to Driscoll about seating her child upon the counter,
and he thought she had behaved very ill about it as he did
it from kindness.
Selfe—liow was that ?

Berman—Well, your worship, it is a metal counter, and
you may observe the child's clothes are very short, and I
thought it would be very cold and very unpleasant to the
poor little thing to sit there, and so I told the mother,
when instead of thanking me for my kindness she took
offence, and told me she had a right to do as she liked with
her own. Then they went out and made a disturbance.
Mr. Selfe—Well, it appears all to have arisen from an
unpleasant mistake of your wishing the ohild taken from
the counter. The defendants are discharged.

THAUES.

THE QUEEN OF THE TARTAILS.—VIOLENT ASSAULT
IN THE COURT.—Ann Walker, aged, 38, a turbulent,
drunken, and ferocious woman, who has been frequmtly
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, 608 and George Syer, 4gl, 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. Sho abused him and called him
fearful names, because ho 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 thorn (Syer,
4SI 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 threw
a thick slice of bread and butter at her husband, and said,
"Take that, you --. murder you, I will." The
bread,which was flung with great force, struck the man on
theleft 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 in court witnessed.
Mr. Partridge asked the man how long he had been
married to the prisoner.
Witness—l was married to her ono 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 she 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.
Tho prisoner gave utterance to an oath, and said to her
husband, " Now, you —, you are satisfied, I know:'

UNCLAIMED WRECKS.

Mr. ROGERS asked the President of the Board of
Trade, by what authority the proceeds of unclaimed wreck,
to which the right of private owners has been acknowledged
by the Crown, have been retained by the receivers since
such acknowledgment of claim.
Mr. M> GIBSON said that this matter was in dispute,
and so long as that was the case, the Board of Trade could
only give the wreck to the parties legally entitled to re-
ceive it.

THE CONFERENCE.

In reply to Mr. DISRAELI,

Sir G. GRE Y said it was not correct that the Conference
would not reassemble. They had adjourned, but not sine
die, and he was unable to say the day when thoy would
meet again. (Hear, hear, and laughter.)

SALMON FISHERIES.

On the motion for going into cAnmittee of aupply,

Mr P. WINDHAM asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department if it was the intention of her Majesty's
Government to bring in s bill this session to amend the
Salmon Fisheries Act (1861) ? He contended that means
should be adopted for the preservation of salmon, and that
a tax for this purpose should be imposed, or that a fund
should be raised by proprietors, instead of leaving the mat-
ter to voluntary contributions.
Mr. T. J. BARING agreed with the hon. member, but
the matter was one of intricacy. However, it was under the
consideration of Government, but he could not promise that
any bill relative to it would be introduced this session.

P OR TUGAL.
LISBON, April 24.
This letter will be forwarded by the steamer
Maria Pia, belonging to the Portuguese Steam
Company, Lusitania.

The tobacco monopoly was to have been sup-
pressed on May 1, but the debates in the House of
Deputies had delayed the bill so long that the Go-
vernment agreed with the Peers in Committee to
alter the clause for suppression to Jan. 1, 1865.
The Bill thus amended, now under debate, and
likely to pass the Upper House, is very creditable
to the Administration, and the public satisfaction
ought to encourage them to follow the same liberal
policy in other respects.
The price of Portuguese stock has been well main-
tained here at 501- to 50/. Exchange on London,
53d for three months' bills.
It is understood the Bill for the sale of the
Barreiro Railway and the extensions contracted
with the South Eastern of Portugal Railway Com-
pany is to be immediAtely brought before the Cortes,
as also that some definitive course will be adopted
before the close of the Legislative Session respecting
the Cintra line and Lisbon docks, so long in
abeyance.

ILL-REQUITED SOLICITUDE.—EIizabeth Driscoll and
Elizabeth Best, the former of whom had a child three years
old with her, were charged with being drunk and disorderly
at the Gun Tavern, Lupus. street, Pimlico.
George Everest, 7G B, said that, at 8 o'clock last night,
he found the defendants outside the tavern in question
making a disturbance. He requested them to go away, but
they refused, and as some persons collected he found it
necessary to take them to the station.
Driscoll, in defence, said that it all arose out of the
shameful conduct of the barman. She and her friend went
into the house to have a pint of beer, when she sat her
little girl upon the counter becauso it was tired, whoa the
barman found great fault, and insisted upon her taking
it down. She objected, and, words ensuing, she and her
friend were put out of the house, and then taken by the
policeman.

Mr. Selfe—Tho counter of a tavern does not seem to
me to be a very proper place to seat a child.
Driscoll--Th9 poor dear was tired, and, I am sure, could
do no harm.

Mr. Selfe called the barman, who said he certainly had
spoken to Driscoll about seating her child upon the counter,
and ho thought she had behaved very ill about it as lie did
it from kindness.
Mr. Selfe—How was that P

Barman—Well, your worship, it is a metal counter, and
you may observe the child's clothes are very short, and I
thought it would be very cold and very unpleasant to the
poor little thing to sit there, and so I told the mother,
when instead of thanking me for my kindness she took
offence, and told mo she had a right to do as she liked with
her own. Then they went out and made a disturbance.
Mr, Selfo—Well, it appears all to have arisen from an
unpleasant mistake of your wishing the child taken from
the counter. The defendants are discharged.
