MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

SHOCKING CASE OF CRUELTY.—James Wand appeared
in answer to a summons, granted at the instance of Mr.
Thomas, secretary to the Royal Society for the Preven-
tion of Cruelty to Animals, charging him with wantonly
and cruelly ill-treating a cow.
Mr. Joseph Thorpe, butcher, 20, Upper Marylebone-
street, said on the 16th of May he was in front of his
shop when a drove of sheep and beasts came past to-
gether. After they had passed a little while he saw one
of the beasts standing on three legs, the near hind leg
up, which appeared in great agony. The prisoner struck
the off hind leg with a stick, and the beast fell on the
pavement as if shot, he then beat it over the head as
hard as he could hit. Witness spoke to him about his
cruelty, and the prisoner made a very rude answer. The
cow lay about twenty minutes before it got up.
David Graham, grocer, 42, Upper Marylebone-street,
corroborated the evidence of last witness.

The prisoner denied the charge.
Mr. Hardwicke said it was a very bad case, and com
mitted the prisoner for a month.

SOUTH WARK.-(THIS DAY.)

ROBBERY AND ASSAULT IN A PUBLIC-ROUSE.

Thomas Revell, a powerful looking young ifellow, was
brought before Mr. A'Beckett charged with assaulting
William Revell and robbing him of two shillings.
Prosecutor said he went into the Rising Sun public-
house in Kent-street about 10 o'clock last night, with
two female relations, and called for some gin and rasp-
berry. While being served the prisoner, whom he had
no previous knowledge of, rushed up to him and knocked
him down without any provocation. While on the
ground he put one of his hands into his waistcoat pocket
and stole two shillings which witness had just deposited
there. A police-constable was called in and he gave him
into custody for the assault and robbery.
The females who were with the prosecutor said they
saw the prisoner attack him in a very ferocious manner,
and knock him down. While on the ground, they also
saw him take some silver from his waistcoat pocket.
They called in a constable, and he was given into custody.
The prisoner denied the robbery, and said he was first
assaulted by a man who was with the prosecutor. He
had known the latter some time, and was on friendly
terms with him ; and as he was offering to shako hands
with him he was struck.

Prosecutor denied that he had any previous knowledge
of the prisoner, or that any other man was with him.

Mr. A'Beckett committed him for trial at the nex
Surrey Sessions.

NEW DUTIES ON TEA.—The order to receive the new
duties on tea reached the Customs at six o'clock last

night, and the delivery commenced at six o'clock this
morning. The entries exceed the extraordinary number
of 10,000. A single house in the City yesterday paid no
less than 10,0001. in tea duties.
DETERMINED SUICIDE.—This morning a young woman
named Sarah Hallion committed suicide at No. 10,
Waterloo-place. From information gleaned by our re-
porter it appeared that the deceased, who was to have
been married on Sunday next, was on a visit to the
housekeeper at the house above named and slept with
her. About 7 o'clock this morning she (deceased) got
up and proceeded downstairs to prepare breakfast, and
on the housekeeper following shortly after she was no-
where to be found. A search was made, and deceased
was found in the water-closet with her throat cut from
ear to ear. No reason at present can be given as to the
cause of her committing the rash act, as on Tuesday she
was in cheerful spirits, and had been busily employed in
making her wedding dress. The body was conveyed to
St. James's workhouse, there to await a coroner's in-
quest.
TREBLE ATTEMPT AT SUlClDE.—Yesterday afternoon
information was received from Westminster Hospital of
a desperate attempt at self-destruction of a respectable
female of the name of Mrs. Amelia Moore, Lillington.
street, Vauxhall, by swallowing a large quantity of
oxalic acid. It appears that the unfortunate woman
had been in a very desponding state of mind for some
length of time, owing to the loss of her husband, and,
in consequence of her attempting her life twice before,
her movements were watched—hence the discovery arose.
Dr. Basham, M.D., and Mr. Evans cauty, house sur-
geon, was promptly in attendance, and used the stomach
pump with such success that it is hoped the poor crea-
ture is placed out of danger.
ROYAL ARTILLERY, Woo',wren., MAY 30.—Colonel
C. C. Dansey, C. 8., a Waterloo officer, who has com-
manded the Royal Artillery at Gibraltar since April,
1852, having returned to England on sick leave, Colonel
Henry William Gordon will proceed from Woolwich to
Gibraltar to take the command of the Royal Artillery
at that important station, in the room of Colonel Dansey.
Colonel Gordon was recently at the head of the Royal
carriage department at the Arsenal here, and previously
served in command of the Royal Artillery at Corfu and
the lonian Islands, where he superintended the fortifi-
cation of these stations with several hundred large guns
of the best modern construction.
BRITISH WOOLLEN MANUFACTURES.—Yesterday a
Parliamentary paper was issued, from which it appears
that, in 1852, the declared value of British woollen ma-
nufacture and woollen yarn exported was, of woollen
manufactures and woollen yarn, 10,161,074/.
MONEY ORDER OFFICES.--The following notice has
been issued from the General Post-office :--" On the

THE AUSTRALIAN MUTUAL GOLD MINING ASSOCIA-
TioN.—A junction has been effected betweeri Mr.
Collett, of the Mutual Gold Mining Company, and Mr.
Sherwood, who has the superintendence of another
English company, for the workin,-, of Erskine Island.
Mr. Sherwood has to complete the present eiengineeringworks, which, with thirty men employed, will, we un-
derstand, require about a fortnight, after which they
share the profits equally. With the practical skill and
resources which will be brought to bear upon the work,
the success or failure of the speculation will soon be
established. On the Turon Mr. Collett has secured
twenty claims for the "Mutual," most of which are un-
worked, and all situated advantageously for the recep-
tion of gold deposit.—Bathurst Free Press, Jan. 4.
EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT.—On Saturday last as the
carriage of Mr. Richardson, of Upper Portland-place,
was leaving Strawberry-hill, Twickenham, the fore
axletree broke, and dropped the footboard of the box
seat on to the horses' backs, upon which the animals
leaped the quickset hedge on the side of the lane,
dragging the front part of the carriage after them into
the dyke, where one of them was drowned, and the
other so severely injured by his struggles, and the means
used to drag him out, as to render his recovery doubtful.
Mr. and the Hon. Mrs. Richardson were extricated
without difficulty, but the coachman, and a young gen-
tleman who was riding on the box seat, had a most
miraculous escape. The horses were a remarkably
handsome pair of greys, valued at 300 guineas.
THE QUEEN'S NunsE. --We understand that Mrs.
Mackintosh, who was appointed wet-nurse to her Ma-
jesty, has returned to the north. It appears that her
milk was too rich for the infant Prince—so much so,
that
her own child was also nursed by her for some
time, in order to reduce the quantity. Mrs. Mackintosh
left Osborne amidst the regrets of the whole establish-
ment, expressed in the strongest terms, and accompanied
by substantial proofs of the Queen's accustomed libe-
rality. Her Majesty presented her with a large and
valuable gold brooch, an ample wardrobe of clothes, and
a cheque for a hundred pounds—all this being exclusive
of travelling expenses. The brooch was given by the
Queen with her own hand, And will, we have no doubt,
be treasured for generations as an heir-loom of inesti-
mable value.---Invcrness Courier.
