THAMES.

A SAVAGE.—SImueI Wells, a lighterman, was brought
before Mr. &get, charged with violently and cruelly
assaulting Sarah Wells, his wife, and Sarah Cashon, her
mother.

The prisoner has been married to his wife 13 months.
They cohabited with each other before marriage, and have
one child nine month's old. The prisoner is very jeaLus
of his wiie, and, like all jealous men, had accused her o
infidelity and other offences of which sha was entirely
innocent. He beat her and blackened her eyes six weeks
after the birth of his child. He had beaten her on other
occasions. He was in the practice of calling her very
hard names, of threatening her, and being very
tyrannical towards her. He came home last night,
and after a good deal of abuse and bad language, he
beat his wife and struck her on the head with his clenched
fist. Mrs Cashon, her mother, went to her assistance, and
the brutal ruff in kicked her on the stomach and then seized
her arm and twisted it. The poor woman was put to great
pain and inconvenience, and complained of the pain she
was enduring while giving her evidence. The wife sup-
ported herself and child, and wanted no assistance from her
husband. Both women declared their lives were in danger.

Mr Paget said the prisoner had been guilty of great vio-
lence and brutality to his wife and mother-in-law, and was
not fit to be at large. He sentenced the prisoner to four
months' imprisonment and hard labour.

BONNET'S SILKS a LYON.--Every Article of
commerce takes its title either from the inventor or
manufacturer, and the more perfect the production the
greater is the credit which attaches to the originator.
BONNErs SILKS are said to be incapable of identifica-
tion in England ; but the fallacy of such an assertion is ex-
posed by the very trade mark of the firm, as exhibited by
Messrs. JAY, of Regent-street.
The following interwoven mark may be seen at the end
ofeach piece :—" Manufacture de C. J. Bonnet et Cie., it Lyon
e Injurieux." Wear guaranteed.

MARINE DEPARTMENT.
Notwithstanding the recent establishment of several ma-
rine insurance companies, and the extensive business they
have acquired, there is ample r. orn tor the sate and profitable
employment of capital in this direction. The vast iucreasein
the shipping interest of the United Kingdom, together with
the growing feeling in favour of the security afforded by Joint
Stoat Companies as compared with private Underwriters,
point to the opening which exists for this department of the
tompany's operations.
The. set vices of an able and experienced Underwriter will
be secured, and a large business can at once be obtained for
the Company.
The following statistics of a few of the present Marine In-
surance Companies show the present value of the Shares of
those Companies, and the highly
successful nature of such

NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.
If there was yesterday a diminution in the numbers that
ased to crowd the Sunday special from Shoreditch we must
abscribe it, we think, to the wonderful spring weather we
are now enjoying. It has tempted many, more especially the
owners of horses, either on the Saturday or Friday previous
to run down and inspect the stables in a 'quiet way, while
the fact of many of the habituts of Newmarket remaining
there during the past week had contributed to deprive the
Great Eastern terminus of mnch of its " First Spring"
bustle and excite went. To-day's card, with the exception
of the Prince of Wales' Stakes—a new and important fea-
ture in the programme of the meeting—numbering 110 cub-
scribers—did not possess Lny feature of particular interest,
and between the intervals of racing both conversation and
speculation turned on the great event of the morrow.
The French mare kept remarkably firm, General Peel
and Copenhagen running each other very close for the po-
sition of second favourite, and the supporters of each being
sqnguine in the extreme. The ground is rather hard, and
from that and other causes but a small field is anticipated.
The Two-yr-old Sweepstakes was notable for the defeat
of Puritan, whose running at Northampton, where he de-
feated Tennyson by a neck, made him a very warm fa-
vourite for this event. The race was a singular instance
of " in and out running," as he now had to succumb to the
Lady Ann filly, who in the Craven week suffered a rather
disgraceful defeat at the ,hands of the same Tennyson, the
beaten horse at Northampton.

In consequence of an hour having been 'wasted at the
post in false starts for the Prince of Wales' Stakes we have
only time to record the fact of their being won, after a good
race, by Bacchus beating Suburban and 22 others. An ob-
jection has been made against the winner on the ground of
a cross by the rider of Suburban.

rived, stating that the General had come as far as Durston,
where he branched off to Weymouth. As might be ima-
gined, considerable disoppointmeut was felt, but the vast
crowd dispersed with more good humour than could have
been expected under the circumstances.
WEYMOUTH, Monday.

Yester lay Garibaldi dined with Admiral Dacres, on
board the Edgar. He saw firing on board the Warrior, re-
turned to Weymouth, and then went to Colonel Peard's.
He embarks to-morrow.

Garibaldi arrived at Taunton at 9 40. The railway station
was illuminated. An immense crowd assembled to see the
General, who, as usual, was received with great :leers.
PLYMOUTH, Monday, 10 P.M.

Great preparations were made at Plymouth, and it was
calculated that on the Devon and Cornwall lines at least
100,000 anxious spectators were in attendance. At half-
past two o'clock a telegram from Taunton reached Exeter
announcing the fact that the General had turned off the
main line to go to Weymouth, via Yeovil. This unexpected
visit was made to enable Garibaldi to inspect the fleet, for
which purpose it was understood Admiral Stewart had pre-
pared a gunboat. A late telegram announces that he will
leave Weymouth at half-past seven. Fully two hours must
be occupied in reaching Exeter, and nearly the same time
in travelling thence ir, Plymouth. Garibaldi is accompa-
nied by his son Ricciotti, the Duke and Duchess of Suther-
land, Col. Chambers, Col. Peard, &c. The Duke and
Duchess go with him in their yacht to Caprera.

11 P.M.

A telegram from Exeter, received here at 9 10 p.ra. says,
" A special train left Weymouth at 8, and Yeovil at 9 10.

11 30 P.M.

A telegram announces the departure from Exeter of the
special train at 11 5 p.m. Notwithstanding the hour is so
late for Plymouth, many persons are assembled on the sta-
tion platform, and there is a crowd outside the railings.

TUESDAY, 1 A.M.
Garibaldi arrived 5 minutes since, and, having ascended
a temporary platform, received the cheers of upwards of
3,000 persons. The General and his friends have pro-
ceeded into Cornwall.

A SAVAGE.—SImueI Wells, a lighterman, was brought
before Mr. Ptget, charged with violently and cruelly
assaulting Sarah Wells, hi: wife, and Sarah Cashon, her
mother.

The prisoner has been married to his wife 13 months.
They cohabited with each ether before marriage, and have
one child nine month's old. Tho prisoner is very jealous
of his wife, and, like all j(alous men, had accused her o
infidelity and other offemes of which she was entirely
innocent. He beat her aLd blackened her eyes six weeks
after the birth of his child. He had beaten her on other
occasions. He was in tle practice of calling her very
hard names, of threateaing her, and being very
tyrannical towards her. He came home last night,
and after a good deal of abuse and bad language, he
beat his wife and struck her on the head with his clenched
fist. Mrs Cashon, her metier, went to her assistance, and
the brutal ruffian kicked her on the stomach and then seized
her arm and twisted it. Tie poor woman vas put to great
pain and inconvenience, aid complained of the pain she
was enduring while giving
her evidence. The wife sup-
ported herself and child, and wanted no assistance from her
husband. Both women declared their lives were in danger.
Mr Paget said the prisoner had been guilty of great vio-
lence and brutality to his vife and mother-in-law, and was
not fit to be at large. He sentenced the prisoner to four
months' imprisonment an( hard labour.
