WESTMINSTER.

BRUTAL AND UNPROVOKED ASSAULT.—Patrick Lynch,
a big Irishman, was charged with the following brutal and
unprovoked assault :
Timothy Sullivan, an Irishman, who hawks fruit about
the street, said that on the previous evening he was in
Sloane-street, Chelsea, with his barrow, when the prisoner
and two other Irishmen came along. Prisoner stopped in
front of him, and using very bad language called him a
Methodist and a parson. In order to get rid of prisoner
he went round his barrow, but prisoner followed him up,
and repeatedly struck him. He ran away, followed by
prisoner, who caught him twice and brutally used him, cut-
ting both his ears and lips, and blackening his eye. He was
quite sober, and gave no provocation whatever.
A witness was called who corroborated this statement in
every particular, and described prisoner's conduct as most
cowardly.

Prisoner denied the charge, and said he never struck the
man at all ; that the prosecutor came and abused him and
followed him round the street, and finally threw a large
stone at him, which he had when taken into custody.
It was proved that prisoner picked up the stone to throw
at somebody, and was in the act of doing so when given
into custody.

Two witnesses gave a similar account to prisoner of the
transaction, and said that he did not strike prosecutor, but
that they took him away to prevent his doing so. Both,
however, said that blood was flowing from prosecutor's
mouth and ears, but thought that lie might have caused it
himself.
He was fined 20s. or 14 days.

THAMES.
Pumous DRIVING IN THE Bow ROAD.—Heinrich Brain-
mar or Brawnier, aged 29, a native of Holstein, and dwell-
ing at No. 64, St. George-street, better known as Rateliff
Highway, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with
being drunk and furiously driving, to the denger of pas-
sengers in the Bow-road.
James Clark, a police-constable, No. 199 K, said in con-
sequence of the continued furious and reckless driving of
persons in charge of horses and vehicles in the Bow-road,
and the numerous accidents that had taken place, he was
stationed in the road on horseback. There were two other
mounted constables in the road. The prisoner was driving
a pony and cart. The horse was galloping, and the pri-
soner, who was drunk, was whipping it. The conduct of
the prisoner endangered the lives of foot passengers, and
there was also danger of collisions with other vehicles.
The prisoner was trying to pass another cart—in fact he
was racing.

Mr. Paget—ln a public road ?
Witness—Yes, sir, the furious driving on that road is
fearful. I have been put out on special duty there.
Inspector Griffin, of the K division, confirmed the state-
ment of the constable as to the state of the Mile-end and
.Bow-road. Furious driving was very prevalent, and many
persons had been killed. A green grocer, named Stone,
while drunk, run down an old man in the Mile-end-road,
and killed him on the spot. A man named Wm. Amos,
cowkeeper, of No. 2, Oxford-terrace, Cubitt-town, Poplar,
killed a child named Keenan; while driving furiously and
recklessly close to Bow Church, on Friday last, and was
now under remand by Mr. Partridge, who heard the case.
A class of rough tradesmen, who were regardless of the
lives and limbs of people, drove recklessly. Everybody
tried to pass everybody, and the danger was very great.
Mr. Paget asked at what pace the prisoner was driving
his pony and cart ?
Clark-12 knots an hour, sir.

The prisoner said he only went as fast as the cart before
him and the cart behind him, and he did not drive
furiously. He called two foreigners, who said they did
not know why the police locked up the prisoner.
Mr. Paget said that public attention had been called to
furious and careless driving in the streets, and the number
of persons who had been killed or maimed in the streets
of the metropolis. The prisoner was intoxicated, and
ought not to have been driving at all. It was a bad case,
and he should inflict the full penalty of 40s. for furious
driving.
The fine was paid.

On the removal of the cloth the loving-cup was
passed round the board, and then the LORD MAYOR
gave in succession " The Queen," "The Prince and
Princess of Wales, with the rest of the Royal
Family," and " The Army and Navy and the
Volunteers."

General Sir FREDERICK SMITH responding to the
toast of the Army and_ the Volunteers, said at
no time had he known the British army in a more
efficient state than at present, and he spoke from
long experience of it. It was not, he said, an army
of aggression, but of defence, and it would be at all
times willing and able to perform its duties. The
Army was in the highest state of efficiency in all its
departments, and whether it was called on to defend
our interests at home or abroad the country might
rely on its being equal to the work. Adverting to
the Volunteer movement, he said he felt confident
from the first that it would be a great success, and
the events of that day at Brighton he had no doubt
would afford additional proof of the general effi-
ciency of the force. It now consisted of 150,000
men, and he for one, as an old officer, should be as
much at home with the Volunteers as with the
regular army. They were men of more intelligence
than ordinary soldiers, and having besides, in the
majority of cases, property, wives, and families to
protect, more efficient service was expected from
them. Some years ago it became often a question
whether we should be attacked by a foreign Power,
but that question was settled at once and for all
by the establishment of the Volunteer force. If our
colonies should be attacked he felt confident we
should be in a position to defend them, and while
Canada remained loyal it would be a great disgrace
to this country if it were to neglect to defend them.
Admiral Sir FREDERICK NICOLSON, speaking for
the Navy, said its chief duty was to protect the com-
merce of the country. However much opinionsmight
differ as to the number of ships we ought to have,
or as to whether there were certain dependencies of
this country that ought to be retained, or certain
colonies that ought to be defended, we were all
united in thinking that it was of great advantage
to the country that its commerce should be ex-
tended, and that it was the paramount duty of the
Navy to defend that commerce wherever it might be.
The LORD MAYOR next proposed the " Health of
the Bishop of Carlisle," as the preacher of the Spital
sermon of that,. day, taking occasion to speak of
him as a laborious parish priest before he was raised
to the dignity of the episcopate, and as an ornament
of the Church to which he belonged.
The Right Rev. PRELATE, in acknowledging the
compliment, dwelt upon the advantages likely to
arise from the Bishop of London having thrown
open the dome area of St. Paul's Cathedral for
Divine service on Sunday evenings, and thereby in a
sense revived the services which, in ancient times,
were accustomed to take place at Paul's Cross.

Sir G. BOWYER, M.P., speaking to the toast of
" The House of Commons," which had been given
from the chair, said, speaking in that hall, devoted
to hospitality, he could not forget that the constitu-
tion of the city of London was more ancient than
that of Parliament. That constitution presented to
the world the illustrious example of those municipal
liberties which had been in all history the germ of
political liberty, and without which our political
liberty would indetd be insecure. He could safely

say that if ever and whenever the privileges or the
constitution of the city of London should be attacked
in any way in the Home of Commons, whether by a
powerful Government or the chief of a party, that
house would be always ready to maintain its liberties
and protect its privileges with no less zeal than it
would to maintain the privileges of Parliamentitself.
"The Health of the Lord Mayor" was next given
by the Bishop of CARLISLE, who in doing so dwelt
upon the services which his lordship had rendered
during many years of his life before he was elected
to the civic chair in promoting education, home mis-
sions, and the objects of the Pastoral Aid Society.
The LORD MAYOR next gave in succession, "The
City Magistrates," connecting with the toast the
name of Mr. Alderman Sidney, M.P. ; The
Sheriffs of London," for whom Mr. Sheriff Beslcy
answered ; and " The Presidents of the Loyal Hos-
pitals," for whom Mr. Gilpin, the Treasurer of
Christ's Hospital, responded. The company next
drank to the health of the Lady Mayoress, which
was proposed by Alderman Sir R. Carden, and with
that the company separated about half-past ten
o'clock:

A selection of vocal music was sung at intervals
by Madame Weiss,- Miss Julia Elton, and Mr. W.
H. Weiss, under the direction of Mr. J. L. Hatton;
and the band of the Coldstream Guards played a
number of choice airs during dinner.

the Newmarket Handicap, I entirely ignored his
pretensions for that race, and stood the French
