THAMES.

HORMBLE BRUTALITY.—Bridget Nicholls, aged 25, and
tarrying an infant 18 months' old in her arms, was brought
before Mr. Partridge charged with violently assaulting
Ann Shea, of 18, White Hart-place, Poplar.
The complainant, who was in acute pain, and who lives
in an Irish colony, sometimes called Garden-place and
sometimes White Hart-place, stated that she had a quarrel
with her countrywoman Nichollslast night. The prisoner
abused her, and called her very foul names. She went out
to get out of the way, and on her return with a bundle of
wood, the prisoner abused her again, and after striking her
with her fist, threw her down, seized her left arm and bit
a large piece out of it. The poor woman's arm was
enveloped in surgical bandages, and after giving her evi-
dence she threw herself on the floor of the court, groaning
fearfully.
Catherine Coghlan, another Irishwoman, said—l saw
Biddy Nicholls pull her hair out of her head and take a
mouthful out of her arm, and make a second bite, and
would have taken a second mouthful if it had not been for
me dragging her away.
. . _ • _

John Bradley stated that he found the complainant in a
frightful state of suffering, with the flesh torn from her
arm, and the muscles moving. The prisoner was very
desperate. It occupied the united strength of three con-
stables to carry her to the station house.
The prisoner said I will murder the old— when I get
at her again.
In answer to questions by Mr. Partridge, the witness
said—l did look for the piece of flesh. It was seen in the
room. The prisoner was seen to pick it up, and it is be-
lieved she swallowed it.

The prisoner burst out into a long, loud, and fie►y decla-
mation in her defence, and imputing to the complainant
that she was intoxicated and committed the first assault.
She had many witnesses, but Nicholls and Coghlan were
such desperate characters that the witnesses wore afraid to
attend the court.

Mr. Partridge said this was a most horrible and dis-
gusting case. The prisoner was a perfect savage and bad
committed an atrocious assault on the complainant. The
only provocation he could discover was, that the com-
plainant refused to drink with the prisoner and give her
gin. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for four
months, and kept to hard labour, and he ordered that her
child bo taken from her and delivered to its father.

stone, &c., says :

"Church-rates and other important questions have still to

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE.

The sitting members for Newcastle-on-Tyne issued
addresses yesterday. The Right Hon. T. E. Headlam
says :
"I believe that the great principles of the Liberal party,
in accordance with which I have acted since I entered upon
public life, are firmly maintained by a large majority of all
classes in this town. These principles have been carried
into effect with caution and moderation, but, at the same
time, with firmness and vigour by the Government of
Lord Palmerston. Peace has been preserved under
circumstances of considerable delicacy and difficulty.
My experience and sympathies lead me to place confidence
in the people, and it would be a pleasure to me to see a
well-considered measure brought forward by the Govern-
ment and cordially accepted by the country for the exten-
sion of political privileges and the removal of glaring ano-
malies in our representative system."
London, England, 1865-07-04

powerful mind to bear on the subject, and that some
thing might be devised for securing the Safely of the public.
Mr. D. GRIFFITH thought the subject a very impor-
tant one, and well worthy the utmost cousidcration of the
Government.

Mr. M. GIBSON said lines were always carefully in-
spected before they opened, and nothing could be done
afterwards, when accidents occurred, than to send down a
well-informed gentleman to inquire into the circumstances.
The matter was occupying much public attention, and he
should be glad to adopt any plan which might be consi-
dered practicable.
After some remarks from Mr. WHALLEY and Mr. MALINs
the motion was withdrawn.

The Naval Discipline Act Amendment Bill was read a
third time and passed.
The Foreign Jurisdiction Act Amendment Bill was read
a third time and passed. -
The Rochdale Vicarage Btll was read a third time and
passed.
The Lords' amendments to the Peace Preservation (Ire-
land) Act (1856) amendments Bill were considered and
agreed to.
The Lords' amendments to the Expiring Laws Con-
tinuance Bill were considered and Ilgreed-to.

The house then adjourned at five minutes to six,

KENT (EAST).

The sitting members for East Kent, Sir W. Brook
Bridges, Conservative, and Sir E. C. Dering, Liberal,
have issued addresses soliciting re-election. Sir
Brook Bridges states that he will, if again returned,
do his utmost to promote the general welfare of the
country, and those special objects of /e'REN

which have a peculiar bearing on the prosperity of
the agricultural and marine population. Sir E. Der-
ing says he is sincerely attached to the Established
Church, and, though willing to remove from her
every source of weakness, he would strongly depre-
cate any severance of the existing tie between Church
and State. He is in favour of an extension of the
franchise both in town and country, but would op-
pose any measure that would confer an undue share
of power on any class of the community, or that
would swamp the present constituency.

DARING ROBBERY IN A HANSOM CAB.--Jas. Talfer, a
young man, was charged with stealing a gold ring from the
person of Mr. Brampton, 155, Cambridge-street, Pimlico,
clerk in a merchant's office, under very daring cir_
cum stances.
The prosecutor stated that, on Sunday afternoon he and
his wife went to spend the evening at a friend's house in
Chelsea. They returned home between 10 and 11 o'clock,
and engaged a cab near Cheyne-walk. While they were
going along in the cab the prisoner suddenly placed his
hand in front of his wife, who was asleep and who was
much alarmed. He gave prosecutor a violent blow on his
cheek and again jumped off the cab, and ran away. Pro-
secutor fond that he had lost his scarf from the finding ho
had lost his pin, and seeing the prisoner running on the
pavement, got out of the cab and found the prisoner call-
out Stop thief 1" Prisoner was overtaken and given into
custody.
Prosecutor—No, sir. I was much hurt by the prigoner
when he struck me in his attempt to take my ring from me.
I am told it is a common practice for thieves to make a
similar attack on persons who are going along in cabs.
The wife of the prosecutor said that he was asleep at the
time of the assault, and was therefore not able to recognise
the prisoner.
Prosecutor observed that he never lost sight of him from
the time he jumped off the cab till ho was taken.
A constable stated that the prisoner was the associate of
thieves.
The prisoner was remanded.

The decision of the House of Commons will, we feel
sure, have a good effect on official morality. It is
natural that men in high office, knowing the igno-
rance and carelessness of the world in general with
respect to their proceedings, should fancy that there
is no chance of jobs and intrigues coming to light.
They may be to a great extent in the right, but the
tone of the House last night will show them that if
once they are detected they have but little to hope
from the forbearance of Parliament.

THE CASE OF MR. WINSLOW.

Major S. Kai OX asked the Attorney-General whether
it was true that a pension had been granted by the Lord
Chancellor to Mr. Winslow, late one of the Masters in
Lunacy; and, if so, the amount of such pension, the grounds
upon which it was granted, and whether it was refused by
a former Chancellor ?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the Lord Chan-
cellor, it was quite true, had awarded a pension of £l,OOO
per annum to Mr. Winslow, who had been for 30 years a
public servant. In 1857 Mr. Winslow presented a petition
to Lord Chancellor Chelmsford, praying that his case
might be taken into consideration, he having been com-
pelled to resign his appointment through pecuniary pres-
sure. Before Lord Chancellor Chelmsford had time to de-
termine the matter, a change took place, and then a delay
of two years occurred. A petition was, at the end of that
time, presented to the present Lord Chancellor, and it
was accompanied by letters of recommendation from Lord
Lyndhurst, and a number of eminent legal gentlemen, and
even a letter from Lord Chelmsford, stating that it would
give him great pleasure to hear that the prayer of Mr.
Winslow's petition had been granted. The Lord Chan-
cellor having consulted the law officers of the Crown and
Mr. Bacon, he was assured he had the power to grant the
pension, notwithstanding the lapse of time. The pension
was then conferred, but its amount was not £1,200, but
£l,OOO.

The Conservatives of this city have at last found
two candidates with whom they intend to contest

W. Russell, the Liberal sitting members. The new
candidates are Mr. R. E. C. Waters, who is a rela-
tive of Gen. Peel, and Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald. Mr.
Waters has addressed the electors, and Mr. Fitz-
gerald was expected to arrive in Norwich last night.

a Conservative will also be started. The* three
Liberals are Mr. Greenwood, one of the present re-

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE.

The sitting members forNewcastle-on-Tyne issued
addresses yesterday. The Right Hon. T. E. Headlam
says :

" I believe that the great principles of the Liberal party,
in accordance with which 1 have acted since I entered upon
public life, are firmly maintained by a large majority of all
classes in this town. These principles have been carried
into effect with caution and moderation, but, at the same
time, with firmness and vigour by the Government of
Lord Palmerston. Peace has been preserved under
circumstances of considerable delicacy and difficulty.
My experience and sympathies lead me to place confidence
in the people, and it would be a pleasure to me to see a
well-considered measure brought forward by the Govern-
ment and cordially accepted by the country for the exten-
sion of political privileges and the removal of glaring ano'
malies in our representative system."

COURTS OF JUSTICE BUILDING BILL.

On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR this bill was read
a third time.

On the motion that the bill should be passed some dis-
cussion arose.

L•rd REDESDALE proposed to omit from the clause
empowering the construction of a communication between
the Temple and the Courts by means of a bridge over or
tunnel under the Strand, the words "a bridge over or."
He did not think that it was desirable to have a bridge
over the Strand.

The LORD CHANCELLOR contended that it would
be quite possible to construct such a bridge without caus-
ing the slightest obstruction to public traffic.
Lord REDESDALE did not press the amendment.

Lord REDESDALE then moved a clause, enacting that
no portion of the property designated should be taken un-
til a definite plan and estimate had been provided, and had
been sanctioned by Parliament. At present they were
utterly ignorant of the probable cost of the new building.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that if this clause was
carried it would be impossible to proceed with the bill.
Lord CHELMSFORD suggested a verbal alteration in
the amendment, which was accepted by Lord Redesdalo,
and the house then divided on the question that the clause
proposed should stand part of the bill—

The clause was therefore added.
The bill, as amended, was then passed.

nected with the Irish constabulary.

The returns were ordered.

The Land Drainage Supplemental Bill, the Local Go-
vernment Supplemental Bill, and the Local Government
Supplemental (No. 2) Bill, were read a third time and
passed.
London, England, 1865-05-09

STRIKES AND LOCK-OUTS.

Lord ST. LEONARDS drew the attention of their
lordships to the recent strikes and lock-outs. He said
the legislature could not wisely interfere in the
question of the regulation of wages. He thought the
proper course would be to endeavour to bring employers
together, and by creating friendly feelings between them
strike at strikes. Having given an outline of the different
strikes from 1850, he said he would lay a report on the
table on this subject. Ile next adverted to the mode of
proceeding between masters and men which prevailed,
which had the object of leading to an arrangement
of their differences without leading to the mutual
feelings of exasperation that occasionally existed
between the two classes in this country. Those
tribunals (as we understood the noble lord, who
spoke very indistinctly) were called Courts of Concilia-
tion, and had worked efficiently for some years, while
the adoption of a similar institution in this country was
recommended by Lord Brougham and other per-
sons who had paid attention to the subject. The
reason why the attempts made at arbitration in this coun-
try had failed was that the operatives had an objection to
go before magistrate; who in many cases were manufac-
turers, and whose sympathies, it was supposed, would
be adverse to their interests. A bill, having passed
through the House of Commons, was brought before
their lordship; and was referred to a select committee ; but
it did not pass, although it was good. He did not intend
to refer to that bill in its original form, but with certain enact-
ments that would render courts of arbitration more likely
to meet the views of both classes interested. He
concluded by moving the second reading of the bill.

MILITIA APPOINTMENTS.
' Mr. DENMAN asked whether the junior captain of the
8d Middlesex Militia had recently been appointed to the
vacant majority of that regiment over the heads of the
other nine captains, some of them of many years' stand-
ing. And whether such appointment had been made with
the approval of the War-office, or in accordance with the
usages of the service.
The Marquis of HARTINGTON said it was quite true
that Lord Chelsea had been appointed to a vacant majority
over the heads of several captains, and the reason was
that as it was of the greatest importance to have persons
of local influence and position in the various militia regi-
ments, and as Lord Chelsea had been represented by the
Lord Lieutenant to be one whose appointment would be
of importance to the regiment, the Commander-in-Chief
had recommended her Majesty to confirm the appoint-
ment.

DOCKYARD EXPENDITURE.

Sir S. NORTHCOTE asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer whether his attention had been called to the cor-
respondence between the Secretary to the Admiralty and
the Secretary to the Treasury relating to the proposed ox
tension of basin and dock accommodation in the Royal
dockyard; from which it appeared that an expenditure of
more than £2,500,000 at Chatham and Portsmouth is in
contemplation, of which sum not more than £90,000 had
been provided for in the estimates for the current year ;
and whether is was the intention of the Government to
propose any plan to this house for providing for the re-
mainder of the contemplated expenditure ; and if so, when
such a proposal was likely to be made.
The CHANCELLOR of the PI X CHEQUER said he was
about to introduce a bill, and for which he should ask the
sanction of Parliament, to enable certain contracts to be
entered into, extending over one year. He felt that a
great saving in some instances might be secured by such
an arrangement.
