VIOLENT AND DESPERATE ASSAULT ON THE POLICE.
—lsaac Russell, who is well known to the police by his
assaults upon constables, was charged before Mr. Selfe
with the following desperate assault on police constables :
It appeared, from the evidence, that in the course of the
previous Saturday afternoon the prisoner was at the Goat,
in the Fulham-road, where he was causing a great distal,.
bance. Re was asked to leave, but would not. Soon after
some one put him out, upon which, as he was causing a
disturbance, Policeman V 402 requested him to go away.
Instead of doing so he struck the officer, and after a
struggle succeeded in Inging him down. While on the
pavement he kicked the constable and tore his trousers.
Prisoner also bit him in the thumb. V 108 and V 382
went to the constable's assistance. They were also vio-
lently assaulted by the prisoner, and one of them was bitten
by the prisoner. After a severe struggle the prisoner was
eventually overpowered,
and it required the exertions of
tour policemen to tike him to the station-house.
Mr. Selle asked if the prisoner was known ?
Inspector Taunton, A Division, stated that he had once
been charged with a highway robbery, and he had been
convicted for assault on the police.
The prisoner was sent for two months to the House of
Correction, with hard labour.
CRAW:a OF SILOkLIFTING,-- John Patteson, a res ct-
pe

ably dressed man, was charged with shoplifting, under the
following circumstances :

It appeared that on Saturday afternoon the prisoner, who
was in the company of a female, went into the shop, 522,
Queen's.road, Chelsea, and asked to look at some silk hand-
kerchiefs. They were shown some, and after looking at
them went away. As soon as they were gone the assistant
missed a parcel containing gloves. The assistant fcllowed
them, and overtook the male prisoner. The female pri-
soner came up and gave the missed parcel to another female,
each of whom escaped. The male prisoner was taken to
the station-house.

The prisoner was remanded to Saturday next.

THAMES.

ARE CRIMINAL CHILDREN TO IsE MAINTAINED AT TIME
EXPENSE OP THE STATE.--John Hubbrd, a rivetter, was
summoned before Mr. iVoolrych by ex-Inspector Brannan,
of the Reformatory Department, to show cause why he
should not be compelled to contribute towards the mainte-
nance of his son, who had been committed to the Reforma-
tory School at Barlow, in Essex, on the 16th December,
1860, for five years.

Mr. Brannan said the defendant's son was 11 years old
when he was committed, and the defendant had not con-
tributed a farthing towards the support of his child. He
could not trace him until recently, and he had ascertained
that he was a rivetter, employed in a ship yard in tho Isle
of Dogs, and was fully able to contribute towards the main-
tenance of his son.

Mr. AVooirych—How many children hag the defendant
:a maintain?

Mr. Brannan--One, sir. He is in the receipt of good
wages, and he has a wife and one child only to maintain at
home. I was obliged to abandon the former order—he has
evaded payment, and his son has been supported by the
State for two years and a-half without the father contribut-
ing one farthing towards his support. Your Worship can
order as much as ss. per week, but I only ask for an order
for 2s. Gd., per week, which the defendant is well able to
pay.

Hubbard, in defence, said he was out of work and could
not pay a .farthing. He wished his son to Le sent home .to
him.

r. Woolrych—Your wishes in that respect will not be
complied with. You did not keep your son from evil
doings before he was commilted, and you will not be
allowed to have the boy until the time allotted for his de-

tmtion in the Reformatory has expired. I think the office r
has given very cogent reasons for an order being made on
you for the sum of 2s. 6d. per week. I have noticed in the
course of my experience as a magistrate, that parents are
responsible tor the crimes of their children. It is owing,
generally, to parental neglect, that children are guilty of
offences against the laws of the country.
Mr. Braunan.—ln the hundreds of thousands of cases

that have come under my notice, juvenile offenders have
been made so by the evil example and neglect of their
parents. I never knew an instance to the contrary.
The defendant thought it was a very hard case to be
called on to contribute 2s. 6d. per week for the support of
the Loy.
Mr. Woolrych—You mean to say the parents of bad
children are not to support them while the parents of good
children, who set them a good example, are to maintain
them. If criminal children are to be supported by the
State, it will act as a premium for parents to make thieves
of their sons and daughters. You have been evading pay-
ment for two and a half years, and I now order you to pay
2s. 6d. per week and 4s. costs, and if it is not paid regularly
you will be committed to prison.

This Company Is formed for the purpose of purchasing an
extensive and valuable grant of Lead, Copper, Iron Ore. and
Slate, en the north side of the noted Ceder Idris Mountain,
known as the Cyfannedd-fawr, in the parish of Llanegryn,
Merionethshire, North Wales, held under lease for 21 years,
at, 1-15th Royalty on all minerals (except Iron Ore, at a
Royalty of only 4d. per ton).
The great grant includes numerous lodes of Lead, Zinc, and
Copper -Iron of the beat quality, and blende with traces of
Gold—also excellent Slate.
An adit-level intersects several lodes of Silver-lead, or
Galena.
A Copper lode opened upon, gipromise of excellent re-
ves p
An Iron vein runs through the entire grant.
.An extensive bed of Slate of good cleavage can be worked
to ereat advantage.
The Silver-lead, proved by assay, has yielded 40 ounces of
silver to the ton of ore.
Lead and Copper from a shaft at the end of the adit have
vealleed £32 per ton.
The Iron vein is estimated to produce 61 per cent. of iron.
The Slate is of superior ouality, and can 19e cut into pave-
ment, flooring, chimney pieces, Zzc. The streams of water
running through the grant offer great facilities for working,
scouring, and cutting the slate. In fact, a Quarry opened
upon the property will pay well for working.
The foregoing facts and the position of the grant, in a rich
mineral district. warrant the conclusion that. efficiently
worked, the mine is capable of yielding returns equal to those
of the most profitable mines in the Principality.
The property being advantageously situated about half a
mile from the Welsh Coast Railway, from which a siding can
be constructed at moderate cost, ani only 21 miles by public
road from the shipping port of Barmonth, affords a facility
of transit which greatly enhances its value.
With these alvantagee. and adequate water power for
working machinery, dressing ores, &c., the Directors, after
careful investigation, confidently anticipate that 10s. per
share uon the capital of the CompanY will be sufficient to
develope the wealth of the mine, and produce profitable re-
sults without further calls.
The Lessee having agreed to take £3,000 in cash. and 5.000
paid up shares, assigns all his interest in the mine, inc uding
upwards of 1(,0 acres of mineral ground—the previous out-
lay—mining, buildings, smith's shop, offices. dressing floors,
bucking house, &c., immediate operations can therefore be
commenced when, in the judgment of the Directors, sufficient
capital is subscribed.
Samples of the different ores taken from the mine, reports,
prospectuses, and forms of application for shares, may e
obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Company; and the
deposit paid on application will be returned if no allotment
be made to the applicant.

It has long- been felt that Torquay, with its large, wealthy,
and increasing population, and the great number of visitors
who resort to it both in winter and-summer for health and
pleasure, stands much In need of the accommodation of a
first-class modern Hotel of the character so successfully esta-
blished in London and some of the leading watering places
of England and on the Continent.
This Company is formed 'o supply this requisite, and a
roost eligible site, upon which the favourite residence of Col.
Meyrick now stands, has been secured for the purpose.
The Hotel, sea, w
gunds of considerable extent
sloping to the sea, will have a southern aspect. and occupy a
situation generally considered the most salubrious in Tor-
quay. Here the invalid may enjoy the benefits of an Italian
winter without losing the comforts of an English residence.
'The property selected commands one of those delightful
sea views which have contributed to obtain for Torquay the
high reputation it has so long enjoyed.
Provisional arrangements have been made with thepro-
prietor of the Royal Hotel, whereby the Company will be
placed at once in possession of a valuable connection and
lucrative business on most favourable terms. The Company
will thus obtain an immediate source of profit, with the op-
portunity of ensuring prospective advantages.
The experience of the last few years has abundantly shown
that the attractions of the modern first-class Hotel are
eagerly sought after, and having regard to this circumstance,
and to the determination of the Directors to combine in every
department a judicious sapervision with the highest attain-
able excellence of manaement, no reasonable doubt can be
entertained that the present undertaking will prove success-
ful and amply remunerative to the shareholders.
Torbay and the immediate Channel have long been known
to yachtsmen as one of the most unrivalled cruising gruunds
on the English coast. A valuable accessory will be founl in
the new harbour, the formation of which in the immediate
vici, ity of the town is contemplated, and which, when c
pleted, will afford greatly increased aecomm)dation for the
anchorage of yachts.
Application for Shares to be made In the annexed form to

Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCTI, K.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.

This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality
.of governors letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously ords
3,000 medical
patien advicets aa nd
week medicine to more,
on the average, than out-.
The Weekly Board feel it impe dut to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to thetheir public forrative continuy ed suppctt,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.
