'CE INTELLLIENCE.—This Day.

DOW-STREET.
Three men named Smith; Mason, and Carroll were
placed at the bar on remand, charged with uttering coun-
terfeit coin.

The prisoners, it was stated, Went into the Black Sea
public-house, in Bell-yard, and there, in payment for re-
freshment, tendered the bad money. On the fact being
discovered they ran away, but were captured by the police.
A number of former convictions were proved against
Mason.

The magistrate committed the whole of the prisoners
for trial.

A SUPPOSED LUNATIC.--A female, of the name of War-
dell, was brought before Mr. Flower by the nurse and
surgeon of the Strand Union, for the purpose of being
examined and passed to the County Lunatic Asylum.
Mr. Rogers, the district surgeon, said that Mrs. Warden was
found by the policeman in an empty house, and when she was
placed before the magistrate, at the court, he sent her,
owing to her destitute state, to the infirmary in the Strand
Union. While there it was discovered she was insane, and
now she was brought here for the purpose of being trans-
ferred to the establishment at Hanwell.

Mrs. Wardell, who appeared to be perfectly sane, said
she hoped his worship would not give his assent to her
being locked up in a lunatic asylum for life. She was per-
fectly competent to take care of herself, and the present
was merely an attempt to get her separated from her hus-
band at the public expense.

Mr. Flower desired that the husband might be sent for,
and, on bis arrival, ho said he had done everything in his
power to comfort and take care of his wife. She was, un-
fortunately, possessed with the delusion that she was being
followed about by some secret enemy, and hence her pre-
sent condition.

Mrs. Wardell said it was untrue. She was persecuted
by her enemies, and her husband ill-used her. She was
not insane. She was quite ready to be submitted to any
competent person for his opinion. Unkindness had been
the means of disturbing her to a gttat extent, but certainly
not to madness.

The unfortunate woman was then remitted back to the
Infirmary till Saturday next.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DARING ROBBERY IN HYDE Penx.—Thomae Morris, a
young man, described as of "no home; labourer," was
charged, before Mr. Knox, with stealing a watch from the
person of Mr. Frederick Shepherd, steward to a lady re-
siding at Leggatt's, North Minims, Herts.
Mr. Shepherd said—Between seven and eight o'clock on
Saturday evening I was walking across Hyde-park, when
the prisoner came behind me, put his hand round into my
waistcoat pocket, and took my watch, breaking it off at
the bow. I collared him, and a gentleman, on my calling
out, cams to my assistance, and took the watch from the
prisoner's hand. The prisoner was very violent, and re-
sisted a good deal, but he was detained till a park-con-
stable came up, when he was given into custody.
Mr. Arthur Goddard, of No. 62 4,, Cannon-street West,
said—l saw the prosecutor and the prisoner struggling
together, and hearing the prosecutor say he had been
robbed I went to his assistance, and took the watch from
the prisoner's hand, and then secured him till the• park-
constable arrived.

Snow-31r. Goddard, you rendered very efficient
aid.

James Sandford, a park-constable—The prisoner was
very violent on being taken into custody, kicked several
times, and tried to throw me.

The prisoner—I wish you would settle it here. I'd
much rather bo dealt with at once.

➢ir. Knox—l dare say you would, but I shall have in-
quiries made respecting you, and you are remanded.

THAMES.

THE PERAMBIrLATOB. IN THE WAY.—Sarah Dixon, a
fat young woman, was brought before Mr. Partridge
charged with assaulting Mrs. Sarah Cohen, the wife of an
outfitter, of No. 65, Upper East Smithfield, opposite the St.
Katherine Dock.

The complainant stated that yesterday (Sunday) after-
noon she was wheeling two of her children along the foot-
path, in front of her own house, when she hoard some very
foul abuse and threats from a voice behind her, and on
turning round saw the prisoner, who struck her a violent
blow on the left side -of the face, and drove her into the
road. The perambulator and the children were nearly
turned over. She bled a good deal from the mouth.

Frederick Martin, 135 H, found the prosecutrix with
her face swelled and her lip bleeding. He took the prisoner
into custody, and she said, " I shall get off with this on
payment of a fine of 10s., and I don't care for that."
The prisoner said, in her defence, that the perambulator
was in the way, and she could not pass. She requested
Mrs. Cohen to move it on one side and lot her pass, which
she refused to do, and drew the vehicle over her feet. She
then slapped the woman's face.
Mrs. Cohen denied that the perambulator was in the
way ; and Mr. Stoddart, her solicitor, called two respect-
able witnesses, who confirmed her evidence in every par-
ticular.

Mr. Partridge said the assault was quite unjustifiable,
and fined the prisoner 205., and in default 14 days' impri-
sonment.

The Prisoner—That is as much again than I expected.

WESTMINSTER.

MIDNIGHT AMUSEMENT.—Edward Young was charged
before Mr. Selfe with assaulting Police-Sergeant Suther-
land under the following circumstances. •

The officer stated that about half-past 1 o'clock that
morning he heard a noise in Chester-street. He went to
the spot and found a crowd of persons collected, and upon
making inquiries he ascertained that two mon were run-
ning a race. He went in the direction they had gone and
met two men who were nearly naked, and who were run-
ning the race. Several of the crowd wished him not to
interfere, some of whom observed that if he received a pint
of ale he would not stop the race. The prisoner was one
of them. Witness endeavoured to induce him to leave, but
he would not. A gentleman who lives close by said that
he had been greatly annoyed by the crowd, and he offered
witness all the assistance he could. Ho was told that one
of the pedestrians was a servant of Sir Rothschild,
Bart.

The prisoner said that he had been drinking, and that
had he been sober ho should not have interfered. He was
sorry for what he had done. •
Mr. Selfe—Then you are only fined 2s. Gd.
The fine was paid.

NEW ACT ON DOGS.—On Saturday an Act of
Parliament was printed to render owners of dogs in
England and Wales liable for injuries to cattle and sheep.
An owner can be summoned before a magistrate where
the damage shall not exceed £5. The occupier of a house
or premises where any dog was kept or permitted to live
or remain at the time of the injury is to be deemed to be
the owner of such dog, unless the ocupier can prove that he
was not the owner at the time the injury complained of
was committed, and , that such dog was kept or permitted
to live or remain in the house or premises without his sanc-
tion or knowledge.

MEMORIAL OF " BELL RUN."—On the 16th of
June a stone monument 27 feet high was erected with due
ceremonial on a crest, a little south of Henry-house, "in
memory of the patriots who fell at Bull Run July 21,
1861." The spot selected is where Heintzelman's division
made their hardest fight, but were finally driven back by
Kirby Smith. A considerable force of troops were on the
ground, and a large company of civilians ; proper religious
exercises were gone through, some addresses delivered, and
then a salute was fired by Capt. Smith's Massachusetts
Battery on the very spot where Rickett's battery was cap-
tured. The battle-field itself presents few evidences of
the engagement. Here and there a mound indicates
a grave, but they are not numerous, and the only
relic found was an old musket barrel. We (New York
Times) watched carefully along the entire route for evi-
dences of returning peace and prosperity, but in this part of
the State the people will recover their wrecked fortunes
very'slowly, for they have suffered with terrible severity.
Around each farmhouse a few acres are temporarily fenced
and planted with apparently just enough to live on, but the
broad fields, now rich with full summer verdure, are fence-
less and tenantless pastures, all the way from Alexandria to
Manassas. A few waggons were observed making their way
out from the city with loads of supplies, but this country
has nothing to send to market. A drove of sheep on their
way to the city, crossing the battle-ground, attracted great
attention, especially from the soldiers, who were astonished
that there should be so many left in the State, but were
assured that they had already been driven many miles.
FOUNDERING OF A BRIG.—On the evening of
Friday last the brig Emma Jane, of Newport, laden
with coke, from Middlesborough to Genoa, sprung a leak
off Cromer, and foundered. The owner was on board, who
together with the captain and crew took to their boats, and
wee° picked up the schooner Alfred, of Guernsey. On Sa-
turday at 9 p.m. they were landed at Dover, when the crew
were immediately taken to the Sailors' Home.

In the case of the convict Patrick Kilkenny,
under sentence of death in Ireland for murder, the judges
by whom he was tried had declined to support the recom-
mendation of the jury. The death warrant has boon for-
warded to the county sheriff. A memorial is in course of
preparation to be presented to the Lord-Lieutenant for the
purpose of having the sentence commuted.

SPORTING NOTES.

The objection lodged against Windham for the Members
Plate has been decided by Admiral Rous, to whom it was
submitted. Tho gallant Admiral's decision is as follows :
" The Molyneux Cup being advertised as confined to
£3OO in specie, Windham is winner of £290, deducting, by
Rule 64, his own stake. Nothing can be worse than the
present system of ostensibly offering public money with a great
per centage to be paid back, and nothing can be more unjust
to the horse's owner. The winner of a £lOO plate, with
£2O deducted to go back to the fund, is obliged to carry a
penalty of weight for winning £loo.—l am, yours, &c.,
"IL J. Rous."
From the above decision it appears that Admiral Rous
himself has great doubts in regard to the weight Windham
ought to have carried, as he says winners of plates with
money deducted have to carry the full penalty. Mr. Barber
protested against his decision, and appealed to the Jockey
Club. The following very curious paragraph, which is
extracted from Bell's Life, will account for the objection
being withdrawn :

"It having been pretty well circulated that prior to his
departure overnight for London instructions were left by
Mr. Barber to withdraw the objection lodged on Tuesday
against Windham, in the event of the The Clown's success, the
following brief notice was then put up:—' Members' Plate.
—Tho objection against Windham has been withdrawn.
RICH. JOHNSON.' "

Of course, if the objection against Windham had beon
sustained by the
_Jockey Club, Mr. Barber knew
that The Clown, if he won, would be disqualified. It
would be well if one uniform rule were adopted at the
various meetings, as the conditions of several of the races
are so vague that the framers of the handicaps and the
stewards themselves can scarcely interpret them.
Tho Mewmarket July Meeting commences to-morrow,
and Robin Hood and The Student will fight their dead
heat over again in the July Stakes, which one of them
ought to win—the only dark outsider that may make them
lower their colours being FREEDOM, Lord Stamford's re-
presentative, who is reported a clipper. The Chesterfield
Stakes will be won by either Student or Dalesman. The
Worcestershire Handicap will be carried off by either Sue
cess or Bradamante, and the Cumberland Plate by Harry
13railsfork_

A FRESH MAN.

THE POCKET EDITION OF WRIGHT'S RACING RE-
CORD up to the end of May is one of the best sport-
ing guides that has recently been published. No sporting
man or book-maker ought to be without a copy, as they
can see at a glance the performances of orrery horse that
has run this year up to that period. The July number
will be published on Wednesdaty.
