POLICE---TIIIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET,

COMMITTAL OP GENTLBMEN WITHOUT A FIN POE.
ASSAULTING THE POLlCE.—liarles Belwood, Henry
Belwood, of Clapham-terrace, and Alfred Kay, of 11,
Grafton-street, Kentish-town, all gentlemanly young men,
were charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and
riotous in Hemming's•row, St. Martin's, and assaulting
Police-sergeant Hersey, 6 C.
On being placed at the bar, the defendants said thay had
not given their correct names, and that they were William
Budd, and Hector and Frederick Nelson.
Sergeant Horsey, 6 C, said that at six o'clock yesterday
evening, his attention was called to the defendants in
Hemming's•row, and on going up he found them very dis-
orderly and making a great noise. A person told him
(Horsey) that they had broken one of his windows. On
requesting them to discontinue their noise and to leave, one
of them knocked off his hat, struck him a violent blow on
the heal, causing him great pain, and then the other two
closed with him, and directly after he found himself on the
ground, and while there he received several kicks. Some
person in the crowd then called out, " Assist the police,"
and a person did so, and on two other constables coming
up the defendants were got to the station.
Shrives, 82 C, said he saw one of the defendants knock
off the sergeant's hat and another defendant knock him
down.

Budd said he had been dining with a gentleman, the
other defendant's uncle, in the Haymarket, and had lost
about £6, and one of the other defendants said he had lost
his purse also

A person residing at 5, Spur-street, Leicester-square,
said that one of the defendants, Hector Nelson, broke a
pane of glass in his window of the value of 4s. The de-
fendants wore pushing one another about in the street, and
Hector was pushed through the window.
Mr. Kn2x said the window was a trifling matter, but the
other charge a serious one against persons in the defendants'
position. He should order the defendant Hector to pay Is.
fixte and 4s. for the damage of the window. The defendants
collected a crowd, behaved in a disorderly manner, and the
officer then went up and told them to desist, when he was
knocked down and kicked. The police must be protected in
their duty. He (Mr. Knox) would like to know with what
face could he send some wretched, drunken creature to pri-
son if he did not act in the same manner towards the de-
fendants. A more unprovoked assault on an inoffensive
officer who was doing his duty he never heard, and he
should therefore commit the defendants for a month each.

The defendants appeared astonished at the decision.
Mr. Charles Barnes, of Bellevue House, Notting-hill,
was charged with being drunk, and using obscene language
towards Mrs Mason, wife of Mr. Thomas Mason, of the
White Bear Tavern, Piccadilly.

The defendant begged t i offer his most sincere apology
to Mrs. Mason for his conduct, and said that but for the
fact that he was labouring under excitement, caused by
drink, he should not have acted in such a manner.
Mr. Knox said that if drink made him act in suck a
manner he had better not think at all. He should have him
bound over to keep the peace towards Mrs. Mason for three
months, but if he came before him again he should send
him to prison.

THE CONFEDERATE CONGRESS.

In the Confederate Congress on the 26th, a message was
received from the Senate, stating that the Senate had agreed
to the report of the committee of conference in relation to
the bill further to provide for the public defence.
Mr. Miles, of South Carolina, from the committee of con-
ference, reported that the committee recommended that the
house concur in the report of the committee of conference.
He said he was deeply impressed with the importance of
speedy and harmonious action in relation to the subject be-
fore the house, It was found impracticable in the commit-
tee of conference to embody the features which were dis-
tinctly the features of the house bill. The bill now reported
was substantially the senate bill, with some slight, but very
essential, amendments.
Mr. Boteler, of Virginia, obtained the floor.
Mr. Foote hoped the gentleman did not rise to call the
question. If he did, he appealed to him by every conside-
ration of courtesy and patriotism not to do it.

Mr. Boteler replied that he was blind to any appeal to
courtesy, and to everything but the welfare of his country,
at the present moment. Whate►ar his will might have
been, his patience was exhausted, arid many an hour had
been lost already in discussion. He had recently returned
from the army of the Potomac, and he had heard the ap-
peals of soldiers made again and again asking when rein-
forcements were coming. It was now time that the eternal
talk on this bill should cease, It was an easy matter to
vote down the question if gentlemen did not desire to sus-
tain it, but he w 25 impelled by a sense of public duty. He
did call the question upon the bill, and he should adhere to
it.

So the bill passed.
Mr. Kenan, of Georgia, moved to reconsider the vote by
which the bill had been passed. The measure just passed
struck out the only adjustment, looking to peace, between
the State and Confederate Governments, by which the
House Bill had authorised the President to make a requi-
sition on the Governors of the States for the troops needed,
Was it proper at a time like this to create dissension and
collision in any State of this confederacy ? Where aould
be the objections to this feature of the bill ? He would
always sustain the Government, but there had always been
dissension upon the Conscript Law, In the State of
Georgia it bad been declared to be null and void, because it
was unconstitutional. He had no doubt but if the Presi-
dent were to make requisitions upon the Governors they
would be complied with. He could tell gentlemen now
there was danger of dissension between the Government
and States in this confederacy. He hoped it could be
avoided, but he greatly feared it would come. Therefore he
appealed to the house to reconsider the vote by which they
passed the Senate Bill.
Mr. Foote said that he was very happy that the gentle-
man from Georgia had found that opportunity to address
the house which the gentleman from -Virginia (Mr. Bote-
ler) had so ungraciously refused him. The gentleman
from Virginia had been away in camp for some time, and
now came back to lecture the house on its legislation, and
ungraciously and discourteously refused to listen to any
appeals whatever. (Cries of " order.") The house had
been informed by a member of the State of things in the
State of Georgia. That member had said that there was
danger of a collision between the States and the Confede-
rate Government. He would tell the house that a similar
state of things existed elsewhere. There had been facts re-
ported which showed it. Why should the house be re-
stricted to the edict, and be dictated to as to what
course it should pursue by a party of Consolidationists
in the other legislative branch of the Government? Mr.
Foote said that he spoke of some who were then outside the
hall, and not in the other branch of the Government. It
was well known that some time since he had emphatically
declared, in unequivocal language, that there was danger
existing, and now they had it from the lips of a high-toued
gentleman from Georgia, making magnanimous disclosures
in relation to the condition of the country, and appealing to
them not to involve this country in a civil war. By the bill
of the house the country would have been quieted, and an
abundance of soldiers procured for the war. Let all the Con-
solidation men of this day, and all the Federalists of the old
Government cry out, let those who had always been enemies
of State rights, and those who voted against paying back
the fine of Gen. Jackson, all Consolidationists and Federal-
ists, utter their sentiments in a voice of thunder—let them
come on. He was done ; he had had his say ; he had ex-
pressed his opinion, and he called the question. (Laughter.)

7HE GARIBALDI MEETING (THIS DA!).

The long-anticipated meeting for the purpose of express-
ing sympathy with Garibaldi was held to-day at the Lon-
don Tavern.
Long before the hour appointed for the meeting the doors
of the London Tavern were entirely blocked up by crowds
of persons anxious to obtain admission.
By degrees the public were admitted to the Long Room,
and the first appearance ref anything like interruption was
the rush that was made by the audience upon a number of
reserved seats, which they instantly appropriated to their
own comfort.
The following are the resolutions which were sub-
mitted to the meeting :-
Ist Resolution,—That this meeting desires to express its
deep and heartfelt sympathy for Gen. Garibaldi in his pre-
sent sufferings ; its admiration of the strength, integrity,
and noble patriotism of his character, and its earnest hope
that he may be restored to perfect health, and live to see
the aspiration of his life realised in a free, united, and con-
stitutional Italy."
6 2. That this meeting desclares its conviction that the
French occupation of Rome is a violation of the rights of
the Roman people and a direct infraction of the principle
of non-intervention sanctioned by all the great Powers, and
that its continuance endangers the real interests of France
herself and the general peace of Europe."
" 3. That copies of the foregoing resolutions signed by
the chairman on behalf of this meeting be forwarded to
General Garibaldi and the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, and that Earl Russell be earnestly and respectfully
requested to use all means within his power to obtain the
withdrawal of the French troops from Rowe."
Precisely at two o'clock the chair was taken by Western
Wood, Esq., M.P., amidst the most enthusiastic cheering
The hon. gentleman was supported on the platform by
Mr. P. A. Taylor, M.P., Mr. Samuel Morley, Mr.
Sergeant Parry, the Rev. Dr. Campbell, Mr. Elt,
Mr. Stansfield, M.P., Mr. R. Charles, Mr. T. Malleson,
Mr. F. Lawrence, Mr. Joseph Morris, Mr. a Dod,
Mr. E. C. Whitehurst, Mr. W. T. Malleson, Mr. Field,
Mr. Deputy Reed, and about 23 common councilmen of the
City of London.
The CHAIRMAN, on rising to open the proceedings, said
it was of the greatest importance in order that any gentle-
wan who addressed them might be heard that silence
should be preserved. (Hear.) The present meeting was
held under peculiar circumstances, and the assembling
in the present apartment was held in consequence
of the refusal of the Lord Mayor to grant them
the use of the Guildhall. (Hisses.) When he was
first applied to, he id not hesitate for a moment to consent
to preside at a meeting, held for the purpose of expressing
sympathy and admiration for the great General Garibaldi. 1
(Loud cheers.) They had, howeVer, succeeded over all
tee obstacles that had been put in their way, and he re-
joiced to see such a numerous meeting as that before him,
which would give the greatest joy to Garibaldi. (Cheers.)
With respect to the occupation of Rome by French troops,
were the citizens of London to be debarred from expressing
their opinion on such a proceeding? (Loud cheers, and
cries of "No, no.") Her Majesty's Government had diplo-
matically expressed their disapproval of such a policy, and
Bader such circumstances were they to be debarred for fol-
lowing such a privilege, especially as the French occupa-
tion had been denounced by the whole of England. (A cry
" The whole world," and cheers.) Coming to the primary
object of their meeting, ho knew there were none present
who did not sympathise with General Garibaldi, a man
who had won two kingdoms for his royal master. (Cheers.)
He was not there for the purpose of approving of the late
affair at Aspromonte or of condemning it, but he could not
see why a soldier whose hand added two such jewels as
Naples and Sicily to the crown of Italy, should be con-
demned because he had mistaken his time in completing
the imperial diadem. After a few other observations, the
hon. chairman called upon Mr. S. Morley to move the first
resolution.
Mr. S. MORLEY said he responded to the invitation with
great pleasure, because they had not been allowed to meet
in the Guildhall, (Hisses.) He would not attribute aty
motive to the Lord Mayor—(hear)—especially as he did
not know the cause of the withdrawal of his consent to give
them the use of the Guildhall. He had yet to learn by what
authority the use of that hall, which the citizens had until
now considered their own, had been refused, and he had
also to learn that the respectful requisition of 1,000 citizens
should be made subservient to the will of one man, even
though he be a Lord Mayor. (Cheers.) They met there
that day not to raise a no-Popery cry. (Hear, hear, and
cheers.) They, as Englishmen, would not demean them-
selires by using such a hero for such a purpose, if they felt
there was a real necessity for such a cry. (Cheers.) No !
They met to sympathise with a real hero, one whose purity
of motive, whose unselfishness, and whose integrity, was
the admiration of the world. (Hear, hear.) They met
that day to give expression to their admiration for Gari-
baldi, whom all through his life had been endeavouring to
make man what man should be—(hear, hear)—free and in-
dependent. (Cheers.) Could there be a nobler cause to
fight for than liberty; and what had been the aim and
object of Garibaldi's life. Why, to give liberty
to the people. (Immense cheers.) Garibaldi was now in
need of their greatest sympathy, and he felt certain that the
majority of Englishmen would to their utmost endeavour
to alleviate the sufferings of one who had done so much for
the elevation of his fellowmen, (Cheers.) He had the
greatest pleasure in moving the first resolution.
Mr. CONNELL, of Common Council, seconded the resolu-
tion, and, in doing so, said he felt certain that the impres-
sion the present meeting would produce would far exceed
any that would have resulted had it taken place in Guild-
hall.
Mr. P. A. TAYLOR, in supporting the resolution, said he
could not find a more appropriate moment than the present
to tell the meeting the message Garibaldi had sent to Eng-
land. (Immense cheers.) When partinsg. with the great

The house refused to reconsider—seas, 24; nays, 53.
Mr. Boteler said he was much obliged to the gentleman
from Tennessee for the reply made to his call for the ques-
tion. He had stated in his remarks that in the exercise of
his right, and impelled by a sense of duty, he had done what
he thought proper. There was no one in the house who felt
the remarks of the gentleman less than be did, and the best
reply he could make to them was to recal the action of the
gentleman on this very bill. The gentleman had seized
every opportunity to talk and speak on. this very bill, upon
this and every occasion, and he ought to be one of the last
members to complain. He was induced to pursue the
course of action which he had done because he had been, as
he said, among the camps, and had been appealed to again
and again to say when the reinforcements were coming,
and he could not give an answer, because he did not know
when the eternal talk would end and action be taken. The
gentleman from Tennessee, then, had no cause to lay the
charges against him which he did. But of him he would
say that if we were about to send an ambassador abroad he
would certainly advocate the sending of the gentleman from
Tennessee, for then it could be said of the Government ern
pede Herculem, ' from the sire of the foot (Foote) we recog-
nise a Hercules.' (Laughter.)
On the 29th ult.—
Mr. Semmes, of Louisiana, submitted the following joint
resolution
Resolved,--By the Congress of the Confederate States
that the proclamation of Abraham Lincoln, President of
the United States of America, issued at the city of Washing-
ton in the year 1862, wherein he declares, that on the Ist
day of January in the year of our Lord, 1863, all persons
held as slaves within any State or designated parts of a
State, whereof the people shall be in rebellion against the
United States, shall be henceforth and for ever free, is
levelled against the citizens of the Confederate States, and,
as such, is a gross violation of the usages of civilised war-
fare, an outrage on the rights of private property, and an
invitation to an atrocious servile war, and therefore should
be held up to the execration of mankind, and counteracted
by such severe retaliatory measures as in the judgment of
the President may be best calculated to secure its with-
drawal or arrest its execution."
Mr. Clark, of Missouri, moved that the resolution be re-
ferred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. He was in
favour of declaring every citizen of the Southern Confede-
racy a soldier, authorised to put to death every man caught
on our soil in arms against the Government.
Mr. Semmes, of Louisiana, said that the resolution had not
been drawn without reflection. The question of retaliation
was exclusively an executive one, to be regulated by circum-
stances. But it was proper that the legislative department
of the Government should express its approval of the re •
taliation contemplated by the resolution.
Mr. Henry, of Tennessee, said that the resolution did not
go far enough. He favoured the passage of a law providing
that upon any attempt being made to execute the proclama-
tion of Abraham Lincoln we immediately hoist the " black
flag," and proclaim a war of extermination against all in-
vaders of our soil.

time since relative to retaliation, &c., be referred to a select
committee of three, and be made the special order for Wed-

Mr. Burnett, of Kentucky, moved that all of said reso-
lutions be referred to the Committee on Judiciary. This
was agreed to.
