OPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

r.UATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY.

The attractions of the seaside and other places of resort
seemed to be inoperative as far as the attendance at Hyde
Park-corner this afternoon was concerned. Settling on
the past York' meeting Was proceeded with from an early
hour, and thci exchange of money was conducted, with
but few interruptions, until towards the close, when a
considerable amount of spirited betting took place on the
St. L.,:ger. Lc,r,l Clifden opened at 9 to 2 (offered), but
intending bacicors hung the for a time, and it was not
until offers of i to 1 were made that his friends came
forward, and, the latter odds, Lord St. Vincent's horse
was supported I:reely; 5 to 1 was taken and offered about
Queen Berthi t, but a point more was demanded
about The :Ranger, of whom the general body
of backers seem ad anything but "fond." Golden Pledge,
who opened at 11 to 1, had such a run upon him that he
was backed at lessening prices, until he settled down at 10
to 1, taken frE ely ; the same odds were offered about
Avenger, with( ,ut a response. Saccharometer was in any-
thing but swe at odour, 20 to 1 being offered, although in
one or two instances those odds were taken to small
amounts. 30 to 1 each was booked about Borealis and
Onesander, ant: 40 to 1 each was accepted about National
Guard and Blu.e Mantle, Mr. Watt's horse being in good
demand. The subjoined list of quotations will be found to
indicate the true tone of the market, which requires no
further comment. Closing prices :

SAVAGE ASSAULT BY A FEMALE —nary Partridge, a
married woman, was charged before Mr. Arnold with the
following murderous assault on Mrs. Baker, the wife of a
tradesman living at 14, Vine•street, Westminster.

The complainant, who had two wounds on the right side
of her forehead, which were covered with adhesive plaister,
stated, that about seven o'clock last night she was at the
Brown Bear, Millbank-street, where the prisoner also was,
when some words took place between them. Before the
altercation had finished, the prisoner, who had a jug under
her apron, suddenly produced it and struck complainant
a violent blow with it on her forehead. She immediately
fell in a fainting state. When she rec ivered she was
taken to the hospital, where the wound was dressed.

Witnesses were examined in support of the charge.
The prisoner denied having assaulted the complainant
with a jug, and said that she was struck by the complain
ant. She was called a bad name by complainant's husband.
Much cmtradicory evidence was given, when
Mr. Arnold, having referred to the evidence, asked the
complainant's husband if he would have the case sent to the

THE FORTS AT SPITREAD.

It will be a source of great satisfaction to every
man who has confidence in the efficacy of forts as
permanent works of defence, to know that orders
have been issued for the fortifications of Spit-
head to be proceeded with at once, and that by
the early part of the ensuing spring the
work of laying down the foundations will
have begun in real earnest. There are to 'Oa
three forts, stationed respectively on the Horse,
Noman, and Sturbridge shoals. The Horse shoal
stretches for a considerable distance into the sea
from the southern shore of Portsea Island, and it
forms the north-east boundary of the only channel
which makes Portsmouth harbour accessible to
largo vessels. The south-west boundary of this
channel is formed by the Noman shoal, which juts
out from the north-east shore of the Isle of Wight
and it is upon the extreme points of these shoals,
that is to say where the channel is the narrowest,
that two of the forts are to be constructed, the
breadth of navigable water between them being
about 2,100 feet. The Sturbridge shoal lies more
away to the westward, off ILyde, and the fort to be
raised there will not only prove to be exceedingly
dangerous to any vessel attempting to run between
it and the Isle of Wight, but will cross fire with a
powerful independent battery flanking Fort Monk-
ton, at the eastern point of Stokes Bay. The dis-
tance between the Sturbridge and the Woman shoals
is 4,000 yards, and batween the Sturbridge and the
Horse 5,330. A narrow channel runs between the
Noman and the Isle of Wight, but it is close to the
sight of the proposed battery, and if it ran iu shore
it would be exposed to a
powerful battery which
is being erected on the island of Puckpoul, only
3,300 yards away from the Nom3n. AVith regard to
the superetructute of the imulated fort; it is im-
possible to give any description at present for the
obviously satisfactory reason that no plans have as
yet been prepared. It will be two years at least
before the foundations are laid, and science may, in
the meantime, do much towards perfecting Cur
knowledge of the art of defence. The present IL-
tention is to build the e,uperstrusture of iron, and
the strength of the 1.-att;(nerit will. therefore, 1;-,e

THE ARMY.

The following general order, dated Aug. 22, 1863,
has been issued from the Horse Guards:--
His Royal Highness the Field-Man•hal Commanding-in-
Chief has received her Majesty's commands to express to
the army her grief at the lamented death of Field-Marshal
Lord Clyde. The great military services performed by
Lord Clyde in different parts of the world, the success
w th which, in most trying circumstances, he restored reace
to her Majesty's Indian Empire, end the personal regard
which her Majesty and her beloved Consort entertained for
his high and honourable character, make her Majesty deeply
deplore the loss which the Queen, in common with her Ma-
jesty's subjects, has sustained."
The rules and regulations laid down by the War
Department for the prevention of accidents by the
bursting of cast iron ordnance, have been attended
with such satisfactory results, that since their issue
from the War-office cn the lst of April, 1861, not a
single case has been reported at the Ordnance esta-
blishment, Chatham.

on, in order that those in arrcar may be immediately
attended to.

SAVAGE ASSAULT BY A FEMALE —Mary Partridge, a
married woman, was charged before Mr. Arnold with the
following murderous assault on Mrs. Baker, the wife of a
tradesman living at 14, Vine•street, Westminster.
The complainant, who had two wounds on the right side
of her forehead, which were covered with adhesive plaister,
stated, that about seven o'clock last night she was at the
Brown Bear, Millbank-street, where the prisoner also was,
when same words took place between them. Before the
altercation had finished, the prisoner, who had a jug under
her apron, suddenly produced it and struck complainant
a violent blow with it on her forehead. She immediately
fall in a fainting state. When she recxrered she was
taken to the hospital, where the wound was dressed.
Witnesses were examined in support of the charge.
The prisoner denied having assaulted the complainant
with a jug, and said that she was struck by the complain-
ant. She was called a bad name by complainant's husband.
Much contradictory evidence was given, when
Mr. Arnold. having referred to the evidence, asked the
complainant's husband if he would have the case sent to the
Sessions, when he declined to do so.
The prisoner was then discharged.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—Feb. 13.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
'Before Lord Chief Justice Erle and Special Juries.)

LLEWELLIN V. WINDHAM.

This was an action for use and occupation, for
work and labour, and for goods supplied, to
which the defendant paid £25 into court, denied
his liability beyond that Bum, and pleaded infancy.
Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. J. A. Russell
appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Kerslake, Q.C.,
and Mr. D. 1). Keane for the defendant.
The case seemed to excite a good deal of interest
from the great notoriety which has recently at-
tached to the defendant, who was in court. It was,
however, a very simple matter, being an action for
a year's rent of lodgings with the plaintiff at 35,
Duke-street, St. James's, at £lOO a year rent, for
£3 Bs. for attendance, and for £6 odd for provisions
and necessaries supplied during a short period. The
plaintiff, his clerk, and his wife proved that the de-
fendant went to lodge at his house, paying two
guineas a week, in the spring of 1861, and after
being there some time the plaintiff told him, as all
his lodgers were yearly tenants, they objected to
his taking weekly lodgers, and unless he became a
yearly tenant he must go. The defendant then
asked the rent, and was told £lOO a year. He said,
" All right ; they are mine." He remained on those
terms till August 29, when he suddenly left to get
married, taking with him a latch key. He after-
wards wrote for some wine and some of his things
to be sent to him in Norfolk, and the plaintiff then
wrote to him and asked him if he had permission to
let his rooms, and if he would wish to give them
up, and got no answer. A fortnight afterwards the
defendant called for his letters, and continued on
his rooms. A part of the agreement was that he
was to pay 7s. a week for attendance when at his
rooms, and some things which he required were
procured for him.
On the cross-examination of those witnesses it
appeared the defendant was of age on Aug. 8, 1861.
His conduct was strange, and Mrs. Llewellin swore
to her belief that he was not of competent ability
or quite sane. At the close of their evidence the
learned counsel for the defendant asked for permis-
sion to confer with their client, and Mr. Windham,
who was at the back of the court, made his way to
them, dressed in a rough frogged overcoat, and after
a short conference it was intimated that he left the
matter in the hands of his counsel.
Mr. Kerslake said, after the evidence given, be
did not propose to put Mr. Windham in the box to
contradict the testimony which had been given, as
at the time of the contract he was labouring
under
not
some excitement, and his recollection

as it was by letters.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Feb. 13.

THAMES.—A Chinese seaman, named Segni,
apparently about 25 years of age, was charged with
cutting and wounding another Chinaman, called
John Ahui, with intent to murder him.
Isaac Excel!, a police constable, No. 493 K, stated
that half-past 10 o'clock on Thursday night he was
in Narrow-street, Limehouse, and heard cries of
" Police" and "Murder." On proceeding to the spot
whence the cries proceeded he saw a Chinaman,
frightfully wounded, lying on the ground in a pool
of blood, in front of the house N 0.27. He directed
a police constable, No. 137 K, to stay by him, and
went to the surgery of Dr. O. R. Arnold, in Brook-
street, with whom he immediately returned. 1)r.
Arnold examined the man, and found he had two
wounds, one in the abdomen, and the other in the
left shoulder. Ile was immediately conveyed
to the London Hospital. The witness then went

and with the extraordinary Budget 2,104 millions
instead of 2,091 millions which formed the total
of the united Budgets such as they were pre-
sented for 1.863, instead of 1,965 millions for 1862.
It is hardly necessary to say that the amortisation
is completely suspended; not a word is said about
redeeming the oft-repeated promise of resuming it
so soon as circumstances should permit. . . . At
the beginning of a new era, of which the name re-
called to our mind great glory, followed by terrible
reverses, it was easy to foresee that France would
shortly hear the din of arms. The war in the
Crimea, and shortly afterwards that of Italy, added
victories to our annals dearly paid for with our
blood and with our gold, but of which the splendour
caused the price to be forgotten. 'When, however,
to these two wars succeeded the expedition to China
and Cochin China the longing for repose began to
be felt, and many people thought that the activity
of the country might derive a salutary aliment from
the discussion and management of its interests, in
place of occupying itself always with distant objects.
People were beginning to say that peace would re-
store to agriculture the hands which it wanted,
and would permit the Government to diminish the
taxes instead of increasing them ; that we had much
to do and much to accomplish at home before
assuming the mission of disseminating abroad the
advantages of civilisation and liberty. For these
reasons it was with some regret that the country
saw the expedition to Mexico, of which it did not
sufficently comprehend the causes or the object.
More than a year has elapsed, and it does not even
now comprehend it, nor has anything been done to
remove its uncertainty. The expose of the situation
of the Empire is on this point remarkably laconic.
It is not enough to refer io what was said on the
subject by the organs of the Government in the
Corps Legislatif last session. Many serious events
have occurred since then, and the Government
must have learned much. Even the language
held in Mexico, and the addresses to the Mexicans,
have not more clearly explained what will be the
political conclusions after the definitive triumph
of our arms. The instructions given to General
Forey, and published in the official documents, will
suggest doubts as to the extent and duration of the
task which will be entailed on us by victory, and
the complications which such vast plans may give
rise to."

THE KINGDOM OF GREECE.

The following letter from Earl Russell to the
Greek charge d'effaires brings the question relating
to the affairs of Greece down to the latest date :
" Foreign Office, Feb. 10, 1863.

"The undersigned, her Majesty's Principal Secre-
tary of State for Foreign Affairs, has had the honour
to receive the communication of the charge d'affaires
of Greece, bearing date the 6th instant, enclosing
a decree of the Second National Assembly of the
Greeks at Athens, and he has received the orders
of ber Majesty on this subject.
" Her Majesty cannot be more flattered than by
the confidence and the friendship manifested with
regard to her Majesty, her family, cud the British
nation, by the election of her sou Prince Alfred t 0
the crown of Greece. Her Majesty sees in this ac
a testimony of the confidence placed by Greece ja
the results of the education given to Prince Alfred"
by his illustrious and regretted father, the FriElee
Consort; but her Majesty is compelled by the
diplomatic engagements of the Crown, and by
powerful considerations, to decline the signal
honour on the part and in the name of her Bon.
Her Majesty and the royal family will not. bed the
less happy and proud always to bear
le, at in minonce e
so
spontaneous vote of the Greek peep other
flattering for the Queen and Prince Alfred, to whom
honourable for those who offered the Crown, and so
the offer was made."
