WESTMINSTER.

COWARDLY OUTRAGES.—DanieI Reardon was charged
with the following disgraceful outrage
Mrs. Elizabeth Hesper, of 15, Caroline-place, Marl-
borough-road, Chelsea, was the complainant, and presented
a wound on the head which had been dressed at the hospi-
tal. She said that she was sitting at home at seven o'clock
last evening with her husband, when the defendant knocked
at the door, and, upon its being opened, inquired for his
wife. He was told that she was not there, and invited to
come in and look for himfelf. Defendant, who was drunk,
then challenged complainant's husband out to fight, and on
his declining, struck him on the side of the head. Com-
plainant said she would fetch a policeman, upon which the
defendant used the most disgusting language, struck com-
plaidant, seized her by the shoulders, and wilfully threw
her with great force upon the pavement. Her head was
cut open by his violence, and she became insensible.

. .
Defendant said that he sent to the house in search of his
wife, whom the complainant encouraged in habits of
drunkenness.

Mr. Arnold—You complain that this woman encourages
your wife to drink, and, in order to set her a very good
example, you get drunk yourself.
. . . ..

_ .
Defendant—l merely pushed the woman, and she fell.
lam very sorry for it. _ _

A young woman was called, who clearly proved the wil-
ful and violent character of the assault.

Mr. Arnold—This is a very violent assault, which there
appears to me to be nothing to excuse. You were told by
defendant that your wife was not at complainant's, and
then attack her in this way and seriously injure her. You
are committed for two months.

The Weather and the Parks.

In consequence of the wind which has accompa-
nied the keen frost of the last two days only the
more sheltered of the ornamental waters in the parks
have been frozen. Yesterday a large number of per-
sons repaired to the Serpentine, in
seeing it covered with skaters, and were surprised
that not a patch of ice a foot long could_ bendseneont.
The reason of this is entirely the high whintd
expectation of
t' he the temperature, for during Sunday night

Royal
Humane Society no less than 300 persons, male and
female, insisted upon going on the ice. As was ex-
not very sound. Notwiths
ex-
pected, the ice broke, and 19 persons immersed
in , were immersed
in deep water. Three persons were got out by Isaac
Higginbottom, deputy superintendent, with
assist-
ance ; three by Fred. Goodyear, one of the society's
icemen ; two by Pavyor, tl
ano ier iceman ; and five
who were quite exhausted,
an iceman. Several
other accidents took place on
this water during
the day, but they were trifling.
The ice in the ornamental waters of Regent's Park
was resorted to by a large crowd during the day. A
few immersions took place. Two gentlemen who had
been sliding in front of the society's tent fell in,
but they were soon got out and were enabled
to return to their homes. The eastern end of the
ornamental water in St.James's Park has not in been
the least degree affected by frost, but the end facing
Buckingham Palace was frozen completely over. The
ice, however, owing to the great fall of snow, was
very dangerous. In spite of this about 50 persons
insisted upon risking their lives upon it. Suddenly
the ice parted, and Mr. Smith, of the Inner Temple,
and George Dukes, of 2, Johanna-street, Lambeth, A
fell in. Fortunately both were rescued, and after
being attended to in the marquee of the society were
enabled to return home. In Battersea Park the
water is sheltered from the high wind, and the ice in
consequence is tolerably good.

ULSTER.

The report of the directors states that the gross traffic
receipts for the half-year ending the 31st December last, on
the Ulster and Dungannon lines, amounted to £66,372, and
for the corresponding half of 1863 to £62,440, showing an
increase of £3,932, being £2,680 on passengers and £1,252
on goods traffic. An act had been passed for making a sys-
tem of railways through Belfast, including a communica-
tion with the quays, in which clauses had been inserted for
facilitating traffic to and from the Ulster line. The direc-
tors therefore hoped that the time was not distant whenthe
railway would enjoy the advantages of an easy access to the
port of Belfast for all classes of traffic. By the opening of
the Newry and Armagh line, some of the traffic formerly
enjoyed by the Ulster Company had been diverted. There
had been a decrease in the grain and breadstuffs carried of
about 3,500 tons, in consequence of the unusually large
crop of potatoes. There had also been a deficiency in the
dead pig trade of about 500 tons. The traffic over the
Clones Extension was slowly increasing. The working ex-
penses (exclusive of rates and taxes) amounted to £30,481.
There had been an increase in the train mileage of nearly
13,000 miles, about one-half of which arose from an addi-
tion to the number of the Banbridge trains under the award.
The remainder had been caused by the addition of a goods
train on the Clones line, which was not running in 1863.
The price of coals was higher during the past half-year
than in the corresponding period. The amount paid for in-
terest was £7,844, and average £4 3s. 4d. per cent. After
payment of interest and the rent of the Portadown, Dun-
gannon, and Omagh line, the balance amounted to £23,650,
out of which the directors recommended a dividend of 225.
6d. per original share, 11. s. 3d. per half share, and ss. 4 4-sd.
per quarter share, being at the rate of 4j per cent. per an-
num, less income tax, payable on the 22d inst. The capital
account showed that £1,375,847 had been expended, leav-
ing a balance against the company of £77,042. The revenue
account for the half-year showed that £66,410 had been re-
ceived and £29,738 expended, leaving a balance of £36,671.

THAMES.

A Dock ROBBERY.--George Simmons, a dock labourer,
was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing two
ounces of cigars, the property of the London Dock Com-
pany.

These little robberies of tea, sugar, indigo, tobacco, and
spirits are very frequent in the docks, where many thou-
sand men are employed, and the vigilance of the constables
and gatekeepers, and the frequent punishment of the offen-
ders by fine and imprisonment, and convictions at the ses-
sions, has not put down the depredations of the dock
labourers and others who take advantage of the necessary
exposure of valuable merchandise to commit petty thefts.
On Saturday last, Richard Belshaw, a labourer, was fined
40s. for having two ounces of tea in his possession. He
was detected by a constable taking the tea out Of
a chest in the London Docks. The prisoner Simmons was,
stopped yesterday by a constable named Hayward with
twelve cigars, weighing two ounces, in his cap. He said
they were given to him by a man on the North Quay,
which turned out to be false, and then he told other false-
hoods.

Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to one month's impri-
sonment with hard labour for the unlawful possession of
the cigars.

THE WORKHOUSE TEST.—A poor and weakly woman,
named Ann Harrington, a native of Ireland, came before
Mr. Paget, and said she had been employed at Johnson's
load works, in Limehouse. The unhealthy nature
of the occupation materially affected her health, and she
had been very ill for some time. On making application to
one of the relieving officers of the Stepney Union, he
offered her an order to be admitted into the workhouse,
which she wished to avoid.
Mr. Paget—Why avoid the workhouse ?

The applicant—My little home will be broken up, and I
shill be separated from my child, the only comfort of
my life.

Mr. Paget said the applicant appeared to be very ill, and
he really thought_that the workhouse was the best place
for her.

The applicant—Oh pray don't send me there to bury my
days, when lam well, and there's work to do. I'll work
again to keep myself and my child.

Mr. Paget said he could not interfere with the admini-
stration of the poor laws. He advised the applicant to see
the relieving officer again, and seek for an order to go be-
fore the board of guardians, who had the power to give
out-door relief if they thought proper.

SUICIDE OF VICTOR TOWNLEY. —The convict
Townley, whose reprieve from the sentence of death
which had been passed upon him for the deliberate murder
of Miss Goodwin, of Manchester, to whom he had been
engaged for marriage, excited so great an amount of public
attention and discussion at the time, committed suicide on
Sunday afternoon in Pentonville Prison. He was returning
with the other prisoners from the casual service in the
chapel, when he seized an opportunity to dash himself over
the railings of the staircase. On being raised ho was found
to have received concussion of the brain, which caused his
death at eight o'clock the same evening.

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

This Company has been established for the purpose of
facilitating the Registration of Titles to Landed Estates.
under the provisions of the " Land Registration Act ;'' and
also for the purchase of Freehold Land, the titles to which
have been already registered, or are capable of being brought
within the operation of the Act.
The especial object of this Company is to assist owners of
property who, fr' m want of funds or other cans 5, have
hi they o been unable to avail themselves of the advantages
offered by the Act. The Company will undertake the exa-
mination and registration of titles to Landed Estates; it will
rovide the funds for the necessary preliminary expenditure;
discharge the various incumbrances, where the vain,. of the
estate bears a just proporti ,n to the amount charged upon
it; and will also facilitate the arrangements of persons de-
sirous of lending or borrowing on landed security. Whilst,
from the nature of these operations and the securities held
by the Company, it will be proti-eted aealnst all risk of loss,
considerable profit must be derived, and owners of land will
find their advantage in the increased value of their property.
The Company
re-sellanywill purchase Registered and other Landed.
Estates, them in lots or otherwise, where the ad-
vantages of a simple and Parliamentary title enable them to
rffeet the distribution and re-sale without delay and without
expense.

refined market there has been a fair demand at about pre-
vious quotations.

COFFEE.—The demand for colonial descriptions has been
steady, and full prices have been obtained for superior
qualities of plantation Ceylon.
RlCE.—There has been a good demand for East Indian
at fully previous currencies.

BOMBAY AND MAURITIUS MAILS.

SOUTIIA:MPTON, FEB. 14.
The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company's steamship Ceylon, with the heavy por-
tion of the above mails, has arrived here, with 37
passengers, £1,538 in specie, and a general cargo,
including raw silk to the value of £150,000.

The British steamer Ailsa Craig and the English
schooner Deerfoot came into collision in the Straits
of Gibraltar, and both vessels foundered almost im-
mediately.
London, England, 1865-02-14

ULSTER.

The report of the directors states that the gross traffic
receipts for the half-year ending the 31st December last, on
the Ulster and Dungannon lines, amounted to £66,372, and
for the corresponding half of 1863 to £62,440, showing an
increase of £3,932, being £2,680 on passengers and £1,252
on goods traffic. An act had been passed for making a sys-
tem of railways through Belfast, including a communica-
tion with the quays, in which clauses had been inserted for
facilitating traffic to and from the Ulster line. The direc-
tors therefore hoped that the time was not distant whenthe
railway would enjoy the advantages of an easy access to the
port of Belfast for all classes of traffic. By the opening of
the Newry and Armagh line, some of the traffic formerly
enjoyed by the Ulster Company had been diverted. There
had been a decrease in the grain and breadstuffs carried of
about 3,500 tons, in consequence of the unusually large
crop of potatoes. There had also been a deficiency in the
dead pig trade of about 500 tons. The traffic over the
Clones Extension was slowly increasing. The working ex-
penses (exclusive of rates and taxes) amounted to £30,481•
There had been an increaso in the train mileage of nearly
13,000 miles, about one-half of which arose from an addi-
tion to the number of the Banbridge trains under the award.
The remainder had been caused by the addition of a goods
train on the Clones line, which was not running in 1863.
The price of coals was higher during the past half-year
than in the corresponding period. The amount paid for in-
terest was £7,844, and average £4 3s. 4d. per cent. After
payment of interest and the rent of the Portadown, Dun-
gannon, and Omagh line, the balance amounted to £23,650,
out of which the directors recommended a dividend of 225.
6d. per original share, lls. 3d. per half share, and ss. 4 4-sd.
per quarter share, being at the rate of 4-} per cent. per an-
num, less income tax, payable on the 22d inst. The capital
account showed that £1,375,847 had been expended, leav-
ing a balance against the company of £77,042. The revenue
account for the half-year showed that £66,410 had been re-
ceived and £29,738 expended, leaving a balance of £36,671.

The traffic receipts on this company's old lines, 658 miles
in length, for the week ending Jan.2B, amounted t0£51,452,
against £49,189 for the corresponding week last year, show-
ing an increase of £2,263. The total receipts for the four
weeks ending as above amounted to £208,122, against
£185,617 in the corresponding period, showing an increase
of £22,505. The receipts on 70 miles of new line amounte d
for the week to £1,782, against £1,740, showing an increase
of £42 ; and the receipts for the four weeks ending as above

period last year, showing a decrease of £309.
