DESPERATE ATTEMPT T 0 COMMIT SUlClDE.—Margaret
Macarthy, a large, red faced, and masculine Irish woman,
was brought before Mr. Ellison, charged with being drunk
and disorderly, and attempting to commit self-destruction.
Frederick Greenfield, a police-constable, No. 495 K,
stated that yesterday morning he was on duty in the Com-
mercial-road, near the Cannon-street gate, and saw a mob
of 400 or 500 about and near the prisoner, who was drunk
and making a great disturbance. She was desired to be
quiet and go home, which she refused to do, and on his
attempting to remove her she struck at him and at every
one within her reach. She raved and swore fearfully,
threw herself on the ground, and was removed on a
stretcher to the station-house, followed by a boisterous
mob, and to the scandal of the well-ordered and moral
portion of the community.
Stutch, a police-constable, No. 696 A, stated-
that in the course of the night ho visited the cell in which
the prisoner was confined, and found her stretched on the
bench with a handkerchief fastened very tightly round the
neck, and with two knots in the handkerchief. Sho could
not speak, and he had much trouble in unfastening the
knots and releasing her. After she was recovered he left
her. In 10 minutes afterwards he again visited her. The
shawl she was wearing was then covered over her head,
knock, and face, and a portion of it thrust into her mouth.
She was quite insensible, and he had more trouble than
before in recovering her. lie was compelled to watch her
for the remainder of the night.

Mr. Griffin, inspector of the K division, said that the
prisoner was a woman of infamous character, and kept a
brothel in a low neighbourhood, called Queen Ann-street,
Limehouso. Sho had given much trouble to tho police.

Tho prisoner, in defence, said that sho put the handker-
chief round her neck to protect herself from cold, and the
cloak over her head to keep it warm.

Mr. Ellison said ho did not put any credence in the pri-
soner's story. Sho had been drinking heavily, and in her
excitement made two attempts to commit self-murder. Ho
should order her to be remanded for a week.

LANCASTER (SOUTH).

There was a meeting of the Liberal Committee
for South Lancashire at Manchester yesterclay,when
it was agreed to put forward for this division the
Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mr. Thompson, a
son of Mr. Samuel Thompson, banker of Liverpool.
A third candidate had been named in the person of
Sir J. Kay Shuttleworth, but it appears that Sir
James is unwilling to offer himself.

which will be universally regretted, is caused by
the uncertain state of Mr. Bentinck's health.

HOUSE OF LORDS-THIS EVENING•

The LORD OHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.
ABOLITION OF OATHS.
Lord HOUGHTON gave notice that, unless the ques-
tion of the abolition of all statutory oaths were taken up
in another place next session, he would move for a select
committee to inquire into the subject.

TYNE IMPROVEMENT BILL.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH presented two petitions
against this bill, setting forth that the state of the harbour
of the port would be rendered dangerous.
The Duke of SOMERSET objected to opposing a bill
which stood for third reading.
After some discussion, the subject dropped.
DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT.

Earl GRANVILLE said with reference to what had been
stated by the noble lord Tedesdale) last evening, that Lord
Palmerston had been communicated with on the
subject of the time for dissolution, he (Lord
Granville) could state that the Government considered
there were important reasons why the private
bills before the house in certain stages should bo postponed
after the public business had been disposed of, and Go-
vernment would advise her Majesty to dissolve Parlia-
ment on Thursday the 6th of July. He believed that no
great inconvenience would be experienced with regard to
private business by the rising of the house at the time
proposed, as considerable progress had been made
that day with respect to several private bills. It was most
desirable for the country that there should be no delay in
proceeding to the general election, as it would do consider-
able injury to certain districts. At the present time much
injury was done to manufacturing districts by the excitement
caused by the approaching elections, and he believed that
there would be ample time for the public business by the
date in question.
Lord REDESDALE said that a large number of private
bills had been got through, but there were several other
bills which were not disposed of, owing, in many cases, to
the neglect of the parties themselves. He trusted the house
would not adopt the principle of " hanging up bills," so as
to allow their being resumed at the stage where they left
off.

WILFULLY DESTROYING THE LIST OF VOTERS FOR
WESTMINSTER.—John Baker, a shoeblack, was charged
before Mr. Mansfield, with wilfully destroying the list of
voters_ for members of Parliament, placed on the parish
church of St. James's, Westminster, the property of Mr.
Scott Turner, the high bailiff of Westminster.
Mr. Buzzard, the vestry clerk of St. James's, appearod
to prosecute the prisoner, the proceedings being taken
under the 6th Vic., chap. 18, sec. 25, which enacts that
every person who shall wilfully destroy, mutilate, efface,
or remove any notice, list, register, &c., affixed "on a
church shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding 40s.
Lethbridge, 58 0, said that while on duty about half-
past two that morning, he saw the prisoner pull down the
list of voters from the church door and take it away. lie
stopped the prisoner, wLo was given into custody by
'Warren, the messenger at St. James's vestry.
In answer to the charge the prisoner said he was very
ignorant, and he was very sorry for what he had done.

Mr. Buzzard wished to state that it was an offence con-

stautly occurring.

Mr. Mansfield said that however ignOrant the prisoner
might be, he must be well aware that when public notices
or papers were put in such places they were not intended
to be pulled down. He would, therefore, have to pay a
penalty of 405., or be committed for a month in default.

BIJCKINGHAMSHIRE.

Up to the present time no Liberal candidate has
come forward for the borough, and it is likely that
the course will be "walked over" by the three Con-
servative members, Messrs. Disraeli, Du Pre, and
Harvey, all of whom have issued their addresses
soliciting re-election. Several names were mentioned
as likely, if solicited, to contest the seats for this
county, among them being the eminent counsel, Mr.
F. Calvert, Q.C., and Mr. Lush, Q.C.; but as to
the former gentleman, he has not yet stated his in-
tention; and with respect to the latter, it has
been ascertained by Dr. Lee, thoi adviser of the
Liberals, that he would have declined to accede to
the prayer of a requisition if one had been pre-
sented to him.

FLORENCE, June 24

General Turr has addressed the following letter
to the Opinione, which that journal publishes in its
impression of to-day :
" Sir,—According to the intelligence published
by some journals, General Klapka was on the point
of declaring himself discouraged by the late events
abstainingPeSthisfrcoeni rtainly not of a politics.*
a t eTs
ht he anews
o from
r oin
plea-
sant character for those having the dignity of their
country at heart, but it is not necessary to give it
an exaggerated importance. The correspondent of
the Times (and private news confirm it), an eye-
witness of the arrival of Francis Joseph in the
Hungarian capital, states that the reception was
good, but not enthusiastic ; in the royal palace of
Buda about 300 of the great civil and military officials
and magnates of the Conservative party, headed
by the Cardinal Primates, awaited the Emperor,
but the Liberal party had no representative. This
testimony of a correspondent and a journal favour-
able to Austria gives me the just measure of the
value to be attached to the recent demonstration at
Pesth, even did I know nothing of the organisation
of such festivals, in which young ladies in the white
costume de rigueur scatter the accustomed flowers
of ingenious homage and gratitude before a Prince
who has as yet done nothing except to condemn
their fathers, mothers, and brothers—guilty of
patriotism. Moreover, I am convinced that a
people as strong as the Hungarians will not allow
their liberty of action to be enchained by the pusil-
lanimity of ally fraction of men by humiliating com-
promises froin whom no country can boast itself
free.

" Nevertheless, the reception of the Emperor at
Pesth has produced a painful impression even upon
myself, since it affords a proof of the degree of
temerity which the Hungarian Imperialist faction
has reached in consequence of the general apathy
now prevalent in the Liberal camp throughout Eu-
rope, which leaves to the retrograde party an uncon-
trasted activity. I am greatly grieved to see that
true patriots, infected by the malady of indolence,-
have permitted a party to speak in the name of the
country which in no way represents the national
aspirations, and from which nothing is expected but
Imperial crosses and donatives for the connecton of
a traction of the Hungarian nobility, without regard
to the enormous sacrifices to be hereafter made by
the country, in order to negative the injury done by
such Imperial gifts.
" But though we may be indignant at what has
been tolerated at Pesth,we must not be disheartened.
1 feel that we must redouble our activity in propor-
tion to the discouraging events. Hopes may vanish
sometimes, but faith should never abandon the man
who has the consciousness of working for the good
of his country. This is the moment to strengthen

A special meeting was held at Manchester on Friday;
Mr. Watkin, M.P., in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN moved the approval of a bill authorising
this company to make a railway to Liverpool, &c. He con-
gratulated the shareholders upon the success that had been
achieved in passing the bill. The question had been whether
the 2,000 miles of railway belonging to the several under-
takings of this company, the Great Northern, and the Mid-
land should remain separated from an independent connection
with the most important port in the kingdom by a gap of 28
miles. The committee decided unanimously in their favour.
The motion was agreed to unanimously. Similar sanction
was given to the Midland Company's Bill for a line from
Mansfield to Southwell, &c., and the proceedings termi-
nated.

suicide.

William Haymont, superintendent of the Rochester-

dant's father and family lived there. Last night witness

WATTON AND THETFORD.

A meeting to promote a line between these points was
held at Watton, Norfolk, on Wednesday ; Mr. R. J. H.
Harvey in the chair.
Mr. J. S. VALENTINE, C.E., stated that he (had surveyed
the country between Roadham-heath and Watton and had
estimated the cost of the line. The country undulated con-
siderably, butle believed a good line might be obtained
with a ruling gradient of-1 in 110. The cost of construc-
tion he estimated at from £5,000 to £6,000 per mile. The
length of tho proposed line would be 9/ miles.
Lord WALSINGHAM moved that in the opinion of the
meeting a line from Watton to a point on the Great Eastern
Railway east of Thetford would be a great public conve-
nience, and deserved the cordial support of the landowners,
occupiers, and other inhabitants of the district.
This was agreed to, and the following gentlemen were
appointed a provisional committee to carry out the project :
—Mr. T. Barton, the Rev. W. C. Hodgson, Mr. W. Birch,
Mr. A. Chaston, the Rev. G. Crabbe, and Mr. Sutton.

It was announced that Lord Walsingham was prepared
to take shares to the amount of £2,000 ; Mr. Wyrley Birch,
£2,000 ; and the chairman, £l,OOO. It was stated that they
were willing also to receive shares for the land taken on
their estates. Shares were further subscribed for at the
meeting to the amount of £2,400.

LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 15, 18G5.

The intelligence brought by the Australasian is
by far the most startling and important that we have
received for some time. The great battle so long
looked for has come at last, and has resulted in the
decisive victory of the Federals, in the evacuation
of the Confederate capital and Petersburg, and, as
a natural consequence, in heavy losses on both sides.
As might have been expected, the rejoicings in the
North were enthusiastic. In New York business
was almost suspended, while the courts adjourned,
the church bells rung, and the chief members of the
Government addressed the crowds in the streets.
As might have been anticipated, as a necessary con-
facquence of Northern success, the speakers indulged
in violent denunciations of their opponents, threats
of hanging the Southern PRESIDENT if they caught
him' and impertinence towards England, but some
allowance must be made for the excitement of the
occasion. It is certainly not in New York that we
should look for moderation or magnanimity after
success, and a success it undoubtedly is, even though
the evacuation of Richmond was said to have been
resolved upon some time since. But the friends of
the. South cannot hesitate to admit that LEE would
have held his position, at least, for the present had
not the fortune of the day gone against him in this
encounter. It is necessary, however, on this occa-
,
sion, as on most others, to remember that the news
comes to us through New York, and that GRANT'S
estimate of his own loss at 700, instead of 7,000,
may be taken as a fair estimate of the manner
in which the intelligence is conveyed to
us. An exaggeration of the losses of their
opponents, and a depreciation of their
own has always been the favourite system of the
North, and it is not likely that they would not add
a little embroidery to the facts on this occasion.
The struggle, it appears, lasted for three days,
beginning on Friday, the 31st ult., to the south-
west of Petersburg, continuing with great fury
until Saturday afternoon, when SHERIDAN succeeded
in tnrning the Confederate right on the South Side
Railway, and captured many prisoners and cannon.
The next morning GRANT ordered a general ad-
vance, and the battle lasted throughout the day.
Lqtring the night the Confederates evacuated the
city without their knowledge, and on GRANT making
the discovery in the morning he despatched the

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET

THE KNrEE.—Cunious CASE.—Mary Kiug, who de-
scribed herself as a servant out of place, was charged be-
fore Mr. Knot with assaulting with a knife Police-con-
stable Wm. Camps, 99 C.

The constable said—A little idler two o'clock yester-
day afternoon, I was requested by a person connected with
Gloucester House, Park-lane, the residence of the Duke of
Cambridge, to remove the priSoner from the doorway.
The prisoner refused to go away, and made use of very
abusive language and threatened to let me have the knife
she had in her hand if I touched her. I tried to remove
her and she then made a stab at me, but the knife only
went through my coat, and did not injure my arm. I
then with assistance took her into custody, when she
again said she would rip me open.
Mr. Knox—Was the prisoner drunk ?
Constable—No, sir.

Prisoner (who had a rather vacant look)—I had been to
church in the morning, and walked about and lost my way.
I asked a woman the way to Regent-street, and she told
me. I then went and stood in the doorway, and after-
wards sat down on the steps and ate my bread and butter,
using a knife, when a man came up and told me to leave,
when I refused, as it was raining. I said I would leave
when I liked. The constable then came up and took off
his cape and doubled it up, and, thinking he was going to
strike me, I used the knife. I had no place to go to, as I
sleep in a refuge at night, and my clothes were all wringing
wet. I knew no reason why I should be compelled to go
into the rain.

Mr. Knot—Why did you strike the constable with a

Prisoner—Because he took up the thing he had on his

Mr Knox—Have you any friends ?
Prisoner—No, sir.

Mr. Knox—Yours is a dismal story, certainly.
Prisoner—Am I' to be prevented standing out of the
rain when I have done nothing? The knife was my own.
I bought it.
Mr. Knox—Have you been in service ?
Prisoner—l have, and totally cleaned a house for Mrs
Connorty, of 47, Lower Belgrave-place.
Mr. Knox—l must have some inquiries made about you,
as it is a serious matter using a knife. I will send you to
the House of Detention ; and, as I have some doubts as to
your being in a sane state of mind, I will mark the com-
mitment so that the medical officer may have his attention
directed to you.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2 per rank pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.221 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
at about the same price in London and Paris.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days'
sight is about 249 per cent., and the premium on
gold 127 per cent. At these rates there is a small profit on
the importation of god Pram the United States.
By advic,:s from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.61 per £1 stcrlin_
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefc re, about
-10ths per cent. dearer in London thin in Hamburg.
