ATROCIOUS ASSAULT ON A GlRL.—Jahn William Fitz-
gerald, an engineer, about 30 years of age, was brought
before Mr. Woolrych charged with assaulting Mary Ann
Moore, a girl under 13 years of age.
It appeared that the girl had been sent by her mother on
an errand to the prisoner's, in William-street, Cannon-
street-road. The wife was from home, but the prisoner
was in his room, and he made improper overtures to the
girl, which she rejected ; and he then pulled her about and
assaulted her with his hands in a gross manner. Tho girl
resisted and got away from him. Sbe was not hurt, but very
much alarmed, and immediately made known the base
conduct of the prisoner to her friends, who caused the
villain to be taken into custody.

V Mu...
The girl's evidence given at great length left no doubt
of the prisoner's intentions. He offered no violence to the
girl.
George Salmon Howe, a police-constable, No. 131 11,
said he took the prisoner into custody on Saturday even-
ing, and he denied what was alleged against him, and said
he washe
girl called upon him.
T
prisoner,in defence, said he had no recollection of
tipsy when the
what took place. He was very tipsy on reaching home on
Saturday.
Mr. Woolrych—You have committed a gross assault on
this girl. You are sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment
and bard labour.

WESTMINSTER.

CHARGE OF STABBING.--COMMITTAL OF THE PRI-
SONER.—John Johnson, a costermonger, a desperate-look-
ing man, was charged before Mr. Selfe with stabbing a
man named Thos. Box, with a penknife, at the Hoop and
Grapes, in the Broadway, Westminster.
The complainant, who had a bandage on the left side of
his face, stated that about two o'clock the previous after-
noon he was at the Hoop and Grapes, when the prisoner,
who was a stranger to him, wanted him to pay for a pint of
ale. Complainant refused, when an altercation took place.
It was at length agreed that they should have a pint toge-
ther, and that they should toss for it. They did so, when
the prisoner lost, but he refused to pay for it. They again
had some words, in the course of which the prisoner sud-
denly gave him two stabs with a knife in his left cheek.
Mr. Selfc—Did you assault tho.prisoner before he struck
you ?
Complainant—No, sir. I was taken to the Westminster
Hospital, where my wounds were dressed. One of the
wounds is within an eighth of an inch of my eye.

Wm. Weeks, 36, Spur-street, saw the prisoner strike the
complainant. He laid hold of the 'prisoner and gave him
into the custody of Powley. Complainant was taken to the
hospital by Taylor, A division.
Frances Spinks, a single woman, said that she saw a
knife in the hands of the prisoner. After he struck the
complainant he put it in his pocket (the knife, a clasped
penknife, was produced by Powley).
Mr. Hernage, house surgeon at the Westminster Hospital,
stated that he found two gashes on the complainant's cheek.
One was over the eye, extending downwards; the other
was under the eye and nearly through the left check. The
cuts were about three inches in length.
The prisoner, in his defence, said that he was struck by
the complainant.
The depositions were taken against the prisoner, who was
committed for trial.

PARIS, AUG, 28.
"The treaty for the suppression of the Scheldt dues
was published this morning.

The French papers publish the following intelli-

inst.:—

" General Forey is still in the City of Mexico.
" A French corps d'arm6o is marching upon San
Luis Potosi, which is held by Juarez with 15,000

men.

Miramon has re-entered Mexican territory with
a few thousand adventurers callected in Texas.

" An expedition will soon set out for Tampico.

" Few cases of vomits now occur.

" The adhesions to the empire are numerous, but
the population would prefer the throne to be occu-
pied by a French Prince."

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

CRACOW, Aug. 25.
The Russian Government at Warsaw is so com-
pletely check-mated by the Central Committee,
that it is forced to resort to the most absurdly
arbitrary measuresin order to maintain a show of
authority. Thus, one day last week the people,
who were quietly walking about the streets of the
city, were suddenly seized, without any reason
whatever, by the police, and every one of them
taken to the citadel. The wholesale nature of this
razzia may be imagined from the fact that at-ong
the persons thus unceremoniously attacked , kere
were several Russian ernploys with their wives,

C OLONI AL.

TEL—The market remains quiet, but prices are generally
wall maintained.
SUGAR.—A. moderate amount of business has been re-
ported in West India, and good to fine grocery descriptions
have fully supported previous quotations. In the refined
market the inquiries for home consumption have been
rather active. Common lumps are quoted 45s per cwt.
CorrEE,—Plantation and native Ceylon have meta ready
sale, at enhanced prices. .

liicE.—Business has been rather inactive, and quotations
in some hstances have been rather lower.

rALLow.—The inorket has continued exceedingly dull,
and the few dealings entered into for both present and for-
ward deliver y have been at barely previous rates. P.Y.C.
on the spot is quoted 42s to 420 3d, last three months, 438
9d per cwt.

DIVORCE COURT.--Last year 268 suits were
commenced in the Divorce Court, 204 of them for
dissolution of marriage, and not mere judicial sdparation.
The numbers in the previous four years (beginning the
reckoning with the most distant year) were 350, 306, 293,
and 263 respectively. 179 judgments were given in 1862.
Up to the end of last year 1,482 petitions had been filed in
the five years since the establishment of the court, and 322
judgments given; but the Registrar, in making these annual
returns to the Home-office, omits to state in how many
instances the judgment was that the marriage be di.+solved.
In the County Courts last year 632 deserted wives obtained
orders for the protection of their property against the claims
of their husbands—a number considerably below that of
any of the three previous years.

MURDER IN PARIS.—For several days past there
have been rumours in Paris that a murder com-
mitted by a officer quartered in the Rue de la Pepiniero
barracks was to be hushed up, because the perpetrator was
a relative of n general in high favour at court. Happily
things are not quite so bad as that in France. The mur-
derer is in custody, and will certainly be tried. A minor
publication, called the Petit Journal, gives the following
information on the subject :—We some days since spoke of
the murder of a washerwoman in the Passage Cherbourg.
The husband of the victim now writes to us as follows :
" I beg you to rectify your article concerning the crime
committed at No. 12, Galcri3 do Cherbourg, on tho even-
ing of August is. My wife was, as you say. extremely
pretty; but her conduct was never such as to provoke the
slightest complaint on my part—sho was ever true to her
duties as a wife and a mother. M. George Xavier Fleury
has been in the habit of coming to my house for the last 4
months in the guise of friendship, and he showed us civili-
ties, which, as it turns out, were but the mask of the most
odious designs. On the 18th of this month he came armed
with a poniard and a pistol, and then after a last and vain
attempt to induce my wife to listen to his criminal propo-
sals, he murdered her in her workshop, in the presence of
three astonished witnesses. This is the whole truth of this
horrible eyent,—Your obliged PETIT."

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 28, 1863.

THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION.

NEWCASTLE• uroN-TYNE, Aug. 27.

It was natural that, in a district like this, de-
pending so greatly on the alliance of science and
industry, and in which there must necessarily be so
many, from the nature of their pursuits, familiar
with one branch or other of scientific knowledge,
the British Association should have been welcomed
with more than usual enthusiasm. The success,
however, of the opening meeting last night, and the
prospects of the week have far exceeded the most
sanguine expectations. The only damper is the
rain, which has set in very persistently. The Coun-
cilred

to trip from section to section through the heavy
black rain, ankle deep in the coaldust and other
strata of which Newcastle mud is compounded.
The great room of the new Town-hall, most taste-
fully decorated for the occasion, was filled last night
to overflowing with a brilliant audience, gathered
together from all points of the two great mining
and manufacturing counties of Northumberland and
Durham. The address of the President was loudly
applauded, and its eminently practical character
seemed to arouse a deeper and more general inte-
rest than is often observable on such occasions. It
has been distributed in the form of a pamphlet, and
the general verdict is that it was worthy of the
occasion and the place. His remarks on the supply
of coal have created already a small sensation, and
no doubt will be fully discussed in the proper sec-
tion. If there be any ground for his forebodings,
it is to be hoped that before the meeting is over
some practical measures will be suggested for pre-
venting the waste and staving off the future defi-
ciency to which he points.
After being opened in the constitutional manner
by a speech from the chair, the Parliament of
Science applied itself this morning to the dis-
charge of business in the various sections. As
might be expected, the Chemical Science and the
Geology Sections, in which there are papers to be
read on the manufactures and mines of the district,
were the most crowded. The rooms devoted to
Geography and Economic Science were also well
filed. In the Geographical Section an inaugural
address was delivered by the President, Sir R.
Murchison, in which he described in his usual com-
prehensive and interesting manner the progress of
geographical science. After referring to the 'vast
advances in the trade and commerce of Newcastle
and the great improvements in its outward appear-
ance since the last visit of the Association in 1835,
and expressing his regret at the delay in the com-
pletion of the maps of the Ordnance Survey, Sir
Roderick said,—

O'Brian, who was stated to be a returned convict, was
charged with committing an assault on Joseph Cummings,
who has been in the London Hospital for the last fortnight
and is now under medical treatment and in a very precarious
condition.

It appeared that the injured man was quarrelling with a
woman named Margaret White, at the corner of Dock-
street, Whitechapel. The prisoner interfered, and struck
and kicked Cummings several times, and at last tripped
him up and broke his leg. The man was taken to the hos-
pital, and it was stated it would be at least three months be-
fore he would be in a fit condition to appear and give evi-
dence. _

The prisoner, in defence, said that a dog bit Cummings'
leg 16 months ago, and he was obliged to go to the
hospital.
Mr. Woolrych—A. bite from a dog would not break a
man's leg 16 months afterwards.
The prisoner said one of the women engaged in the
quarrel bit him on the cheek.
Mr. Woolrych said he would adjourn the case for three
weeks if the prisoner could find bail, but if he could not do
so he would remand him for a week.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

A fair supply of English wheat was received fresh up to
this morning's market in fine condition. For all qualities
the trade ruled heavy, at fully Monday's decline in the quo-
tations of is to 2s per quarter.
The shew of foreign wheat on the stands was large. All
descriptions changed hands to a limited extent, and prices
had a downward tendency.

Floating cargoes of grain moved off heavily, at barely
late rates.

The supply of barley was very moderate, and very little
new produce was on offer. The trade generally was dull,
at barely stationary prices.
Good and fine malt was in fair average request, at full
quotations. Inferior qualities, however, met a dull in-
quiry.
With oats the market was extensively supplied. All de-
scriptions sold heavily, and the quotations were barely
supported.
Beans and peas were in limited request, at late rates.
The quotation for town-made flour was 39s to 43s per
2801bs, and for American 17s to 24s per barrel. The flour
trade generally was dull.

INDIA, CHINA, AND JAPAN,

We have received by the overland India mail
papers and dispatches from Calcutta to July 22 ;
Madras, July 28 ; Singapore, July 21 ; and Hong-
Kong, July 11.
The identity of the supposed Nana of Bithoro
occupies the attention of the Indian press, and the
Englishman declizes its disbelief in the existence
of the notorious monster in these emphatic terms
" Being well assured that the scoundrel has long
since learnt how it is given unto men but once to
die, and after that the judgment, we are not in-
clined to give colour to the lies of the scoundrels he
lest be indhim, by sensational resurrection of his
infamous personality."
At Madras there was a perfect famine of news.
The governor of the presioency was still on his
tour in the Mofussil ; and in his absence the com-
munity were chiefly engaged in the consideration
and discussion of water supply, drainage, and other
questions of local, though by no means of Imperial
importance. The Atheneum says:—" The city has
been experiencing very unusual weather of late,
connected, we fancy, with the earthquakes which
have been felt frequently in various parts of Hin-
dustan, as well as most disastrously across the
water to the eastward. We have generally more or
less cloudy weather, with showers of continual
occurrence, which render the temperature very

The hangman has been busy at Singapore, three
murders having been committed and the perpe•
trators of them found guilty and sentenced to the
extreme penalty of the law. A new schooner, named
the Evangeline, has been launched, to be employed

tor missionary purposes in Boreeo. Captain
Sherard Osborne arrived in this port on the 10th of
July, and a couple of days after the first of his
Anglo• Chinese fleet, the China, made her appear-

ante in the waters of Singapore. There had been

an unusual number of deaths among,t the small
European community, which the Straits Times
attributes, not to the climate, but to " casual

sicknesses,"

z CARBOBoUGH.—A shocking and fatal accident
occurred on Wednesday evening to a gentleman
named Robinson, a solicitor of Ripon, while visiting, Scar-
borough. From the information obtained it appears that
the deceased had gone into the Castle-yard to witness the
conclusion of a cricket match in which 11 of the famous
All England were engaged. While walking about his
attention appeared to be attracted by some object in the
cliff, and, stepping over the rails, the treacherous ground
gave way under his feet, and thus he was precipitated to
the bottom of the cliff. His fall was witnessed by some
boys, who informed boatmen Rowbotham and Clark of the
accident. The inanimate body was taken from the rocks
into the boat, and brought to the harbour. Mr. Robinson
was Perfectly unconscious when found, and so heveinained
throughout the evening. He died about one o'clock on
Thursday morning from the injuries he had received. Sin-
gular to say, this is the third fatal accident by falling to
visitors at Scarborough within a few weeks. The deceased
was visiting this place for the benefit of his health, which
was very delicate.
All extraordinary poisoning case is being inves-
tigated by the Hull stipendiary magistrate. A surgeon and
an innkeeper are in custody on a charge of administering,
or attempting to administer, poison to an illegitimate child;
and the evidence of the principal witness for the prosecu-
ticn details conversations between herself and the prisoners,
in which that diabolical cbject is alleged to have been avowed
in the clearest terms.

WESTMINSTER.

CHARGE OP STABBING.--COMMITTAL OF THE PRI-
SONER.—John Johnson, a costermonger, a desperate dook-
ing man, was charged before Mr. Selfe with stabbing a
man named Thos. Box, with a penknife, at the Hoop and
Grapes, in the Broadway, Westminster.
The complainant, who had a bandage on the left side of
his face, stated that about two o'clock the previous after-
noon he was at the hoop and Grapes, when the prisoner,
who was a stringer to him, wanted him to pay for a pint of
ale. Complainant refused, when an altercation took place.
It was at length agreed that they should have a pint toge-
ther, and that they should toss for it. They did so, when
the prisoner lost, but he refused to pay for it. They again
had some words, in the course of which the prisoner sud-
denly gave him two stabs with a knife in his left cheek.
Mr. Selfc—Did you assault the prisoner before he struck
you ?

Complainant—No, sir. I was taken to the Westminster
Hospital, where my wounds were dressed. One of the
wounds is within an eighth of an inch of my eye.
Wm. Weeks, 36, Spur-street, saw the prisoner strike the
complainant. He laid hold of the prisoner and gave him
into the custody of Powley. Complainant was taken to the
hospital by Taylor, A division.
Frances Spinks, a single woman, said that she saw a
knife in the hands of the prisoner. Atter he struck the
complainant he put it in his pocket (the knife, a clasped
penknife, was produced by Powley).
Mr. Heritage, house surgeon at the Westminster Hospital,
stated that he found two gashes on the complainant's cheek.
One was over the eye, extending downwards; the other
was under the eye and nearly through the left check. The
cuts were about three inches in length.

The prisoner, in his defence, said that he was struck by
the cnnplainant.
The depositions were taken against the prisoner, who was
committed for trial,

GREAVES' BLUE LIAS LlME.—Amongst the vari.
otis articles of utility that have come into almost
general use since the closing of the International Exhibi•
tion of 1862 is Greaves' blue lies lime. The circumstances
that have led to its adoption in building operations are that
in all the works entirely built of it, each as the Great
Western Railway station, Great Northern Railway station,
London and North-Western extension of North London,
Metropolitan Railway, main drainage works, Blackfriars
railway bridge and works, sea wall at Ramsgate for South
Coast Railway, &c., it has hOen found to excell all similar
preparations in strength and durability. The increasing
demand has induced Mr. Greaves to make arrangements
for the delivery of the lias in London direct from the kilns
in. Warwickshire, and thus an article of the greatest value
to the builder will be ready for immediate use.

TEA,--The market remains quiet, but prices are generally
well maintained.
Sul:ult.—A moderate amount of business has been re-
ported in West India, and good to fine gro-ery descriptions
have fully supported previous quotations. In the refined
market the inquiries for home consumption have been
rather active. Common lumps are quoted 458 per cwt.
COFFEE Plantation and native Ceylon have meta ready
sale, at enhanced prices.
RlM—Business has been rather inactive, and quotations
in some instances have been rather lower. _ _

Tennow.—The market has continued exceedingly dull,
and the few dealings entered into for both present and for-
ward delivery have been at barely previous rates. P.Y.C.
on the spot is quoted 42s to 42s 3d, last three months, 438
9d per cwt.

DIVORCE COURT.—Last year 268 suits were
Commenced in the Divorce Court, 204 of them for
dissolution of marriage, and not nacre judicial sdparation.
The numbers in the previous four years (beginning the
reckoning with the most distant year) were 350, 306, 293,
and 263 respectively. 179 judgments were given in 1862.
Up to the end of last year 1,482 petitions had been filed in
the five years since the establishment of the court, and 822
judgments given; but the Registrar, in making these annual
returns to the Home-office, omits to state in how many
instances the judgment was that the marriage be dissolved.
In the County Courts last year 632 deserted wives obtained
orders for the protection of their property against the claims
of their husbands—a number considerably below that of
any of the three preview years.
MURDER IN PARIS.—For several days past there
have been rumours in Paris that a murder com-
mitted by a officer quartered in the Rue de la Pepiniere
barracks was to be hushed up, because the perpetrator was
a relative of a general in high favour at court. Happily
things are not quite so bad as that in France. The mur-
derer is in custody, and will certainly be tried. A minor
publication, called the Petit Journal, gives the following
information on the subject :—We some days since spoke of
the murder of a washerwoman in the Passage Cherbourg.
The husband of the victim now writes to us as follows :
e I beg you to rectify. your article concerning the crime
committed at No. 12, Galeria de Cherbourg, ou the even-
ing of August 18. My wife was, as you say, extremely
pretty ; but her conduct was never such as to provoke the
slightest complaint on my Part—she was ever true eo her
duties as a wife and a mother. M. George Xavier Fleury
has been in the habit of coming to my house for the last 4
months in the guise of friendship, and he showed us civili-
ties, which, as it turns out, were but the mask of the most
odious designs. On the 18th of this month he came armed
with a poniard and a pistol, and then after a last and vain
attempt to induce my wife to listen to his criminal propo-
sals, he murdered her in her workshop, in the presence of
three astonished witnesses. This is the whole truth of this
horrible went,--`.'our obliged LL Q; -PETIT."

BOROUGH HOP.

Tho accounts from the plantations are favourable, and,
although the prospects in some parishes are bad, a fair
average crop may be anticipated. The amount of business
passing in our market is very moderate, yet no quotable
change has taken place in prices compared with our last re-
port. New hops have realised £8 to LS Ss per cwt. A
parcel of new Bavarian hops has been received.

fELEBRATION of the TERCENTENARY of
the BIRTH of SHA.KSPEARE, at Stratford-upon-
Avon. The Tercentenary Committee (of which Sir Robert
N. C. Hamilton, Bart., K.C.8., is Chairman) are now receiv-
ing SUBSCRIPTION, and they may also be paid to the
account of the Tercentenary Committee, at the Stourbridge

Smith, Payne. and co , Messrs. Hanburys and Co., or Messrs.

The Terctntenary Committee, in submitting-the subscrip-
tion list to the nation, most earnestly appeal to the admirers
of Sha.kspeare for their aid and assistance. The Committee
rest their claims upon the ground that Stratford is int only
the birthplace of Shalispeare, but the centre of attraction to
all admirers of the great Poet's works, and that it was his
home, the town he loved, and where he lived and died.

THE ARMY.

An order has been received by the
authorities of
Woolwich Arsenal in reference to the ;aiatructions
which were put in force on the late embarkation of
her Majesty
. and the Royal family from the Arse-
nal pier for Germany. It requests a correct Copy
to be transmitted to the War.offies of the inetee,an.
durn which was put in circulation either separately
or col-jointly by the heads of departments on the
occasion. It appears doubtful whether the Queen
return to England by way of Woolwich, or
•rvhi.;ther the R.oyal yacht will proceed direct to
Osborne. The temporary flitiogs which were
erected for the adornment of the pier are, however,
ordered to be retained in their place until furiber
orders. The windows along the line of thorough-
fare in the offices and factories which were obsurcd
with a coating of whitewash are still in the same
state, hut it is stated that should her 115jesty dis-
embark at Woolwich the regulations regarding- visi-
tors will be altogether different from t1.ca,,0 issued
on her departure. We understand that the as-
sumption of po;ver on the part of the offielals has
been severely censured by the War Department,
and the subject is still under official investigation.
Sort.;, time before the arrival of the Royal family a
telegram from the Wsr Dep_atinent had cancelled
the local order excluding all persons from the place
of trablrkation. Many of the cleihs and others
Whose offices were c!osed from the outside were than

informed that they were at liberty to approach the
pier, of which a few took advantage, but as each
constable on the beat had been supplied with a
written order, and had been directed to observe his
instructions to the letter, much confusion ensued.

The casemated barracks at St. Mary's, Chatham,
formerly the headquarters of the invalid depot, and
occupied by troops belonging to the various cavalry
and infantry regiments serving in India and the
colonies, are now being prepared for the reception
of one of the battalions of infantry quartered in the
garrison. In the portion of the barracks completed,
the depot companies of the 75th and 81st Regi-
ments are quartered, and on the removal of the staff
of the invalid depot in the ensuing month the entire
establishment will be appropriated as quarters for
troops of the line, St. Mary's Barracks providing
accommodation for 1,000 troops and nearly 100
