Alfred Button, 61, Theobald's• road, said he v. as co__
down Holborn and heard a loud cry of " Police," and pro-
ceeding to the spot from whence the cries proceeded, he
found the constable being ill-treated by four or five ruMms,
companions of the prisoner, who made off. He assisted
the constable to secure the prisoner, and with the aid of
another constable he was conveyed to the station-house.
Prisoner—Why, the constable was the one as was drunk.
I'd been to a raffle, so I was sober enough, I'm certain of
it. He kicked me about the legs, and then we had a
struggle, and we both went down. I was quite sure I was
not drunk.

Prisoner—Oh yes.

Constable—He was drunk, your worship.
Priconer—l wasn't; you was. I'd been to a raffle for a
friend, who had had a misfortune. Don't believe him, as
he's telling falsehoods. He struck me first, and of course I
hit him again. That accounts for us going to the ground.
Mr. Henry—Whether you were drunk or sober would
make but little difference. lam only sorry I cannot send
you to prison for a considerable time. I shall not allow

month's hard labour in the House of Correction.

Abernethy cut out the work at his best pace, having Sir
Watkin at his girths, Lady Bountiful a couple of lengths
off, Jewel (who had the worst of the start, bringing up
the rear. After going a quarter of a mile, Lady Boun-
tiful gave place to Jewel, and a distance and a half from
home—Abernethy being beaten—Sir Watkin took up the
running. Within the distance Abernethy dropped into
the rear, and Jewel tried to overhaul Sir Watkin, but
never being able to get up, was easily defeated by three
lengths; two lengths separated the second and third, and
a similar distance the third and fourth. The winner was
not sold.

ATTEMPTING TO COMMIT SurclDE.—A mildle-aged
man, tamed Kenning, was placed at the bar, charged with
attempting to poison himself.
Police-constable P 17 said he was called to the residence
of the prisoner in Lascelles-place, and there found him
suffering from the effects of poison. Two surgeons were in
attendance, and after much trouble the effects of the poison
were counteracted, and the prisoner was conveyed to the
workhouse till he had perfec ly recovered.
Mr. Ilenry—What made you take the poison ?
Prisoner--I had a quarrel, and I was so much excited
that I did not know what I was about. lam very sorry
now.

A correspondent of the Opinione of Turin, writ-
ing from Naples, states that the extreme party
there are selling what they call Venice bonds at
two francs each, for a revolutionary fund, and that
upwards of 19,000 of these bonds have already been
disposed of.
THE GAME SEASON IN THE EAST.—There is a
good supply of partridges awaiting their doom this
season in Norfolk, and doubtless a large number will be
brought down to-day. The past summer has been excred-
ingly favovrable for the rearing of game of every kind, and
stands out in strong relief in this respect against 1862. Not
only has the Prince of Wales secured a shooting estate in
Norfolk, but his Highness the Maharajah Dhuleep Singh
has followed the illustrious example. The Duke of Wel-
lington has, however, left the County, having disposed of
the Clermont• lodge estate, to which his Grace in former
years invited the Puede Malakholl and other distinguished
guests. The harvest being completed, sportsmen will have
an uninterrupted range over most of the fields, and should
to-day prove fine, some capital bags will doubtless be
made up iu Norfolk, Suffolk, and the adjoining counties.
It was expected at ono time that the Prince of Wales would
come down to Sandringham early this nionih for the pur-
pose• ^. of d lin execution among the partridges, with which

ineess of Wales would come on to the Norwich festival.

WRECK ON THE SUSSEX COAST.—NEWIIAVEN,
?lone; N:glit.—Thii morning, in a gale from the
sea, the schooner Ccstrian, of Chester,
S.S.W. anti a heavy
in running for the harbour, grounded on the bar. At the
rising of the tide she drifted into dangerous breakers. As
boon as she was observed the lifeboat of the National Life-
boat Institution was promptly manned and launched, and
towed out by the harbour steam tug. After some difficult)
and risk, the lifeboat took off the vessel's crew of live men
and safely landed them. The' oat behaved admirably, and
the crew deserve all praise.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUT I EVENING, SEPrEMBER, 1„',1863.

Hesse-Darmstadt and its Lawyers.

A serious misunderstanding has arisen between
the assembly of German jurists and the Grand Duke
of Hesse-Darmstadt. It would appear that already
this year before the assembling of the learned body
some differences arose respecting the reception
which they would meet with from the Government
of Hesse-Darmt Idt. Whilst in Dresden two years
since they were received by the King through the
medium of a royal commission ; whila r.t Vienna in
the previous year an archduke was instructed by
the Emperor to receive them in a most cordial and
hospitable mtlnner, the cffor made by the Minister
of Justice of Hasse-Darmstadt to greet the council
in the name of the ruler of the country dots not
appear to have been considered suitable by them.
It would seem, however, that an understanding
was arrived at, and it was expected that on the
visit of the council of jurists to Dlrmstiadt, where a
performance at the theatre had been arranged in
their honour, Prince Alexander of Hesse would re-
ceive them officially. This hope we.s not, however,
fu;fiiled, and hence arose an extraordinary scene,
and a painful state of feeling in all concerned. The
'Frankfort Journal gives the following account of
the matter :

"A sad misunderstanding occurred at Darmstadt
on Thursday last. The council of jurists, who were
invited to visit the theatre by the Grand Duke, left
the house in a body. Prince Alexander wished to
receive the standing committee and the officials of
the assembly of jurists i❑ the name of the Grand
Duke; bat, as the train was a heavy one, it was
unavoidably delayed, and, unfortunately, there was
no attempt at any reception of the deputation,
which represents the jurisprudence of entire Ger-
many: The gentlemen, therefore, proceeded ►o the
palace in groups, where, to their astonishment,
they found the doors closed, and a servant informed
them that the Prince was not at home, and that he
had awaited their arrival, but had felt himself
obliged to proceed to the opera to receive the princes
who had in the meantime arrived at the theatre.
This intelligence was circulated through the crowd
of lawyers as they proceeded to the theatre, while
many who had not been made aware of the circum•
stances had already arrived there. Of the Congress
of Princes, the following amongst other sovereigns
were present at the theatre :—The Kings of Bavaria
and Hanover, the Electoral Prince of Hesse, the
Duke of Nassau, and the Crown Prince of Wurtem-
burg. The news of the non•reccption of the jurists
quickly became circulated throughout the house,
and immediately on the fall of the curtain at the
close of the first act, and as the princes were about
to retire from their seats to enjoy a promenade in
the lobby, a person arose and announced that as no
reception had been accorded to the permanent de-
putation they could not visit the house, and that on
this account the assembly of jurists agreeing with
them would leave the theatre. This they did, and
the princes were left to face the empty benches.
The council of jurists soon reassembled at the
Casino, where they had ordered a supper to be pre-
pared after the termination of the performance;
and here they were joined by the ladies, who sided
with them in their recession movement. The ex-
citement here was very great until Privy Councillor
Wachter, the president of the council of jurists,
give the explanation es stated above. It was also
communicated to the members that the Minister of
Justice, M. Lindelof, had given an explanation to
the effect that the prince awaited them at the
theatre, to receive them there instead of at the rail-
way station. The public feeling on the matter is
somewhat strong, and is increased by the circum-
stance that the tickets issued for the front row boxes
on Thursday evening were recalled. as the seats
were required by the Court for the accommodation
of the princes."
