LAMBETH.

IMPRISONMENT FOR ASSAULTING THE POLICE.—Mr.
William Head, a butcher, carrying on an extensive busi-
ness in Last-street, in the Walworth-road, and George
Cookman, a zinc manufacturer, in the same neighb,ur-
hood, were charged with having violently assaulted
three police-eonctables.
It appeared that at a late hour on the preceding night
the prisoner Head had quarrelled with his brother-in-
law at the Horse and Groom public-house, in the
Walworth-road, and having commenced a fight, the
parties were turned into the street. Head, who was
drunk, struck his brother-in-law in the presence of the
*lice, and was given into custody for the assault. The
police were about to remove him to the station-house,
when he became outrageously violent, and not only
assaulted a sergeant and two constables with his fists
but kicked the two latter in a most savage manner.
Head was rescued from the custody of the police by the
persons who had come out of the public-house with them,
and was taken to his own house. Coclunan, who took
an active part in the re3cue, and who also assoul ed one
of the constables, was taken into custody and locked up
on the charge.
The prisoners seemed to treat the matter very
lightly, and said that if the police had not unneces-
sarily interfered, the family dispute might have been
settled.

Mr. ELLIOTT observed,' that imprisonment being the
only punishment to deter persons in their station from
committing such violence, the sentence of the Court was,
that Head stand committed for twenty-one, and Cock-
man for fourteen days, to the County Prison.
The prisoners implored his Worship not to send them
to prison, for as tradesmen it would be a serious injury
to them in their business, besides casting a stigma on
their characters through life.
Mr. Emaorr, however, remained inexorable, and at
the usual hour the prisoners were removed by the van
to Horsemonger-lane Gaol, to be there imprisoned
during the periods above mentioned.

THAMES.

GENERAL FLORES' EXPEDITION.—CoIoneI Richard
Wright, Consul-General of the State of Ecuador, in South
America, and aide-do-camp to General Flores, surren-
dered before Mr. Yardley, with his bail, to answer a
charge of misdemeanour, in violating the provisions of
the Foreign Equipment and Enlistment Act, the 59th
of Geo. 111., cap. 69.
The proceedings lasted a long time, but the evidence
was to the same effect as that adduced on previous exa-
minations of the parties charged with having taken part
in the expedition. The witnesses examined were Cap-
tain Harvey Tuckett, Mr. William Leigh Butts, Mr.
Gabriel Maturin, and Sir William Ogilvie, Bart. The
last-named witness said he was promised the appoint-
ment of aide-de-camp to General Flores when the expe-
dition reached the Ecuador, and that he had been to
Limerick to procure recruits. He stated, however, that
those he engaged at Limerick were to go out as emi-
grants, and consisted principally of artiz-tris.
One of the witnesses for the prosecution openly avowed
that if he had received the 651. compensation money
which had been claimed, he would not have appeared as
a witness against Colonel Wright.
The defendant was ultimately ordered to find bail to
answer the charge at the Central Criminal Court.

Mr. Shaw put in the names of respectable bail, who
were accepted, and Colonel Wright was liberated.
An exciting scene immediately afterwards took place
outside the court. Captain 11. Tuckett no sooner reached
the street than he was arrested by two Sheriffs' officurs,
who led him away amidst the groans, hisses, and exe-
crations of the people connected In ith the Ecuador expe-
dition. Some of them offered personal violence, when
the police interfered, but not before a scoundrel with a
heavy stick hit him on the back. Captain Tuekett was
saved from further injury, and was es,2orted by the po-
lice some distance before the mob left him. -

(TO BE CONTINUED

The corn tithe of one-half of the immense parish of
Westerham, in Kent, is announced to be sold by auction
next month, by Mr. Robins. As the income arising
from this description of property, is not only settled by
Act of Parliament, but charged upon the land in the
nature of a first payment as ground rent—the best,' and
most secure means of investing money is presented, far,
in our opinion, beyond the funds, which are liable to
fluctuation—whereas, by the Commutation Act, a mini-
mum rental is established, and all that is obtained above,
whether from the increased value of corn, or a larger
quantity of land employed in its growth, from its waste
portion or otherwise, becomes so much additional profit,
and a temptation to the capitalist to employ his money
in such investments.

THE REGISTER FOR SOUTH LANCASHIRE.—The re-
gister for the southern division of this county is now
printed, and it exhibits an apparent decrease of about
250 names, as comyared with that of last year. The
numbers on the register for 1845.46 were 24,179 ; those
for the register now in force(for it comes into operation
on the Ist of December in each year), are 23,630. But
this, though an apparent diminution, is no real decrease
in the number of electors entitled to vote at the next
general election. We understand it arises from a more
thorough and careful scrutiny throughout the register,
so as to secure the expunging of duplicate entries of the
same votes, which had accumulated from parties making
new claims, and the old ones not being struck out when
the new ones were inserted in the register.—Manchester
Guardian.
An ingenious printer in a small town in Warwick-
shire, who was employed the other day to print some
bills, stating the intention of some of the principal
tradesmen to close their shops till the Monday following
Christmas day, substituted C for S, thus representing
the worthy lieges as having entered into a league to
close their chops during a season rather remarkable for
the increased necessities fer'opening them which custom
imposes.

THE LEGITIMATE DRAMA

A paragraph having appeared in The Sun of Tuesday,
announcing the probable engagement of Mrs. Butler
(Miss Fanny Kemble) at Drury-lane Theatre, we have
been authorised to publish the following correspondence
between that distinguished artist and Mr Bunn:—
" London, 9th Jan., 1847.
"Madam.—ln entertaining the question you were
polite enough to submit to me—that of your return to
the stage—l was actuated by a sincere desire to resusci-
tate, as far as the limited talent of the country would
admit, the precarious position of the drama—an effort
only to be made, with a chance of success, through the
moderate expectations of its professors. The establish-
ment of Drury-lane, being exclusively devoted to opera
and wallet, would require considerable reinforcement to
admit of your performances being sustained in a manner
due to the public, to yourself, and to the character of the
theatre. My present expenses are nearly 2001. per night,
and I could not calculate on a less nightly addition than
501. in the engagement of extraneous talent, and in pre-
paration. If, then, this 250/. per night be added to the
1001. demanded by you, there would be a certain liabi-
lity or 3501. on each of your performances. I question
if an average receipt could be realised to that amount,
to say nothing of the detriment caused to three nights in
the week by a predominant attraction on the others. If
it would suit you to lend your powerful co-operation to
the re-establishment of the drama on the highest terms
awarded to your illustrious relative, Mrs. Siddons—viz.,
501. per night, I would devote all my means to the fur-'
therance of so laudable an undertaking, and immediately
negotiate with those artistes essential to the upholding
of it.—l have the honour to be, Madam, your obedient
servant, " A. BUNN.
" Mrs. Butler."

" P.S. If, however, your performances were confined
to readings, and to dramatic scenes, I think the nightly
sum you ask might be realised,"

REPLY.

" Bannisters, Southampton, Sunday, Jan. 10, 1847.
" Sir,—You desired that I would state my lowest
terms for acting at Drury-lane, and I did so. I regret
that they do not suit you —I am, Sir, your obedient
servant, "FRANCES ANNE BUTLER.

We are requested to state, ri ,i;ecting the late fire
in Clock street, Portsea, noticed on the

morning after, that Lieutenant of the Victory,
was the officer in command on the morning in ques-

tion, and saw the fire from the de-k of the Victory
shortly before daybreak. He in*tantly reported it to
Captain Pasco, who came upon deck, and upwards of
150 men and boys, with tiw ship's fire engine, buckets,
&c., were sent ashore, under the command of Lieut.
Bamber. The Victory's were at the fire and at work
before the Dockyard people were there : and one of
the Victory's men so distinguished himself by his
activity and daring, that Captain Pasco specially re-
commended him to the commander of his ship, the
Trincomalee, to which he was draughted in .the course

of the same day.

PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 26.—A steam squadron of three
vessels hove in sight from the westward at half• past
two o'clock this afternoon, and having rounded Penlee
Point, swept through the Sound, at a rapid pace, and
went up the harbour to Ilamoaze. They consisted
of a large three masted ship with paddle-wheels, a
two-masted paddle-wheeled ship with two funnels,
and a screw steam-yacht. The second vessel was
like the Garland, and the third was similar to the
Fairy.
About one o'clock to-day a large steamer, supposed
to belong to the Peninsular and Oriental Company,
was seen off the harbour in the run of the Eddystone,
• steaming up Channel, from the westward. Wind very
light from the north.

with the collision which took place at sea on the 15th
instant, between the Birkenhead and the brig Horatio,
from Falmouth to Liverpool, whereby the latter sus-
tained so much injury as to founder at sea, after the
crew had been providentially rescued by her Majesty's
brig Nautilus. The Birkenhead was compelled to
bear up for Plymouth to repair the damages.

DONIZETTI THE COMPOSER.

This eminent man, who, as our readers are doubt-
less aware, has been for a considerable time past
afflicted with mental derangement, is at present re-
siding, under the care of his nephew, in an asylum
near Paris. The following particulars, related by a
friend who recently visited him, will, doubtless, be
read with interest :--" The other evening we went to
pay a visit to poor Donizetti. His nephew Andrea,
an amiable young man, devotedly attached to his
uncle, is unremitting in his attendance on the inter-
esting invalid. 'When we arrived, Donizetti was in
the garden, seated in a large arm-chair. He held in
his hand a bunch of flowers. his head was inclined
downward ; but his countenance was inanimate. He
seemed, as it were, to be dreaming awake. In the
garden a little parterre of verdure and flowers is re-
served for his use ; and on one side there is a mar-
quee, into which he occasionally retires to shelter
himself against the chilling breeze, or the scorching
rays of the sun. When we spoke to him, he gazed
on us with an expression of interest. it would ap-
pear that the sight of his friends created in his mind
a feeling of sadness, for I observed a tear glistening in
his eye. M. Ricordi spoke to him of Italy; of his
native city Milan. Donizetti then half closed his
eyes, and an expression of deep melancholy
overspread his countenance. Ile seemed to say
within hinaserf, " Pity me ! I am very miserable !'' A
few moments afterwards he rose from his chair, and
we conducted him into the house. His nephew sat
down to the piano and sounded a few chords. Doni-
zetti thai became more cheerful, and whilst his nephew
continued to play he marked the tune with his foot.
This fact leads me to hope that his case is not so des-
perate as was at first apprehended. Walking, or any
kind of motion, has a favourable effect on him. Riding
in a carriage seems to be the sort of movement which
agrees with him best. He has been taken out for
carriage drives about ten times within the last
month, and on none of these occasions did he manifest
the least fatigue or impatience ; on the contrary, the
excursions evidently afforded him pleasure. His
mental malady does not appear to have affected his
bodily health generally. His colour is fresh, and his
countenance has no trace of feebleness. His right
arm is almost totally paralyzed; but his legs, though
exceedingly weak, have not lost all their muscular
power. The seat of the disease is in the back of the
head, and the dorsal spine is affected. Medical science
daily accomplishes so many miracles, that, even
though Donizetti should never be perfectly cured,
.we may still hope to see his present sad condition
greatly ameliorated.—From the Lady's Newspaper.

NAVAL ARTICLES OF WAR.

Mr. WILLIAMS wished to know whether the Lord:
of the Admiralty had considered the existing naval ar
tides of war, with a view to an amelioratiun of their
inhuman and unjust provisions.
Mr. WARD said that the subject had been considered
but he was not at liberty to state as yet the result o
those deliberations, he hoped to be able to ley be:or.

HARBOURS OF REFUGE AT HOLYHEAD.

Lord SANDCN wished to know whether commis
sioners had been appointed to consider and take evi
dence upon plans to be adopted for constructing ha:
bout s of refuge at Holyhead, and, if so, who they cues'.
of, and what were their instructions.

NAVAL COURT MARTIAL.

In answer to a question put by Mr. WILLIAMS,
Mr. WARD (the Secretary to the Admiralty) state,
that the sentence of death, recently passed by a corn
martial at Portsmouth on a private of the marines le,
insubordination, had been brought under the consi
&ration of the Lords of the Admiralty, who, con
sidering all the circumstances connected with th
had felt themselves justified in recommending to ID
Majesty a commutation of the sentence already ordere,
to take effect.

THE NEW BISHOPRICS,

Mr. J. COLLETT, after stating that ho had heard there
were to be four new bishops appointed, asked (amidst
considerable laughter) whether the Noble Lord at the
head of her Majesty's Government intended to bring in
the four new bishops under this Bill with the modest
title in the votes of a Bill for amending several Acts for
the appointment of Ecclesiastical Commissioners?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, that in answer to the
question of the Hon. Gentleman, he might state, in the
first place, that as soon as the House agreed to adjourn
for the Easter holidays he should propose to move for
leave to bring in a Bill on the Tuesday after the holidays.
In the next place, he could assure the Hon. Member
that the Bill was for amending the laws relating to the
Ecclesiastical Commissions in some respects, but he did
not intend to introduce four new bishops under it, nor
one new bishop.—(A laugh.)
POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) BILL.
The discussion on this Bill was then resumed.
Mr. HAMILTON said he begged to say that he did
not understand the Noble Lord's observations to be any-
thing else than that hopes were held forth which it was
nut the intention of ber Majesty's Government to fulfil.
The House then went into Committee on the Bill.
Mr. J. O'CONNELL moved that clause I), section

thought Hon. Gentleman had been guilty of inconsistency
in introducing the present clause at all. It had been
stated that an extended poor-law would answer :at pre-
sent, because the landlords of Ireland would not do their
duty without a Poor-law Act. Yet what did they
do ? They handed over to them the power of taxing
themselves to jest that extent they might wish. It
was nut to be supposed that landlords would
punish themselves for conduct of which they did not
admit themselves to be guilty, and that punishment

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
The present week's arrivals of English Wheat having been
on a moderate scale, the show of samples of that article here
was limited. Selected parcels of both red and white sold at
Monday's quotations, but all other kinds were very dull, and
prices were with difficulty supported. In foreign Wheat
comparatively little was doing, but we can notice no altera-
tion in value. All kinds of Barley moved off slowly at barely
the late depression in value. So little was doing in Malt that
prices were almost nominal. Oats, especially the best sam-
ples, were held firmly at full prices. Beans, Peas, and Flour
very dull.

lated to that of England, he had no objection to accede
to the change.
Mr. HAMILTON said that the Ecclesiastical Com-
missioners had to pay the rates on the monies which
they collected for that purpose, so that an incumbent had
to pay to the poor-rates twice for his income. He had
to pay for the amounts levied for the improvement of his
glebe house, and again for the stipend which he gave to
his curate. He thought, therefore, that it would be
well if the Government would take this matter into
consideration, for by changing the plan they would pre-
vent a great injustice.
Mr. MACARTHY saw no reason why those succeed-
ing to encumbered states should not have some allow-
ances in the same way as a clergyman who succeeded to
an encumbered living.
After a desultory conversation,
Mr. SHAW consented to leave the matter in the
hands of the Government, and withdrew his amend-
ment, on the understanding that he should bring it for-
ward, in order that the necessary words might be in-
serted, on the bringing up of the report.
The clause was also withdrawn until the bringing up
of the report.
Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN postponed some clauses he had
to propose till the bringing up of the report, as did also
Sir D. Norreys and Mr. Villiers Stuart.

Lord G. BENTINCK said before they went out of
Committee he wished an answer to the statement he had
made about the rations supplied to the destitute Irish.
Mr. LABOUCHERE, in answer, said he believed the
Noble Lord had obtained his information from a
daily newspaper. Now there was a manifest error in
the list published in that paper. He had since seen the
official list, from which it appeared that the rations of
bread were 1 lb., instead of lb. as published. The
rations were, for one person, 1 lb, of bread ; or in lieu
1 lb. of biscuit and 1 lb. of meal, or flour ; or 1 lb. of
soup, with Ob. of bread, biscuit, or meal, or flour.
This would show that the amount was not what had
been represented, and he trusted the explanation would
satisfy the Noble Lord.
The House then resumed.

GAME-LAWS.

Mr. B. ESCOTT wished to remind the Iron. Member
for Durham that a Committee on the game-laws had sat
_ _

in 1845, before whom a considerable mass of evidence
had been given. He wished to ask whether it was the
lion. Member's intention to act upon that evidence.
Mr. BRIGHT said that it was his intention to draw
the attention of the House to .the evidence which had
been given at an early period, and he hoped to be
able to bring in a Bill to repeal the game-laws before the
end of the session.
ENLISTMENT OF THE ARMY.

Sir H. DOUGLAS wished to ask the Noble Lord
at the head of the Government whether the system of
enlisment for a limited period had been adopted by the
advice and with the consent of the Duke of Wellington,
the Commander-in-Chief of the Army.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL replied that there had been
several communications with the Horse- Guards, but
there had been no direct contravention of the plans
adopted by the Government. Further than this he
declined to answer.
To a further attempt by Sir Howard Douglas; the
Noble Lord returned the same answer.
GOVERNMENT SCHEME OF EDUCATION.
Mr. MATHESON preeented a petition from a con-
gregation of independents, at Ashburton, against the
Government plan of education.
Mr. OLDHAM presented a petition from Leeds to
the same effect.
LIMITATION OF ENLISTMENT BILL.

Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS assuming that the
opinion of the Duke of Wellington was not favourable
to this measure, begged to give notice that it
was his intention, when the question was put
for going into Committee on the Bill, to move
that it be committed that day six menthe.
Viscount SANDON moved for a copy of a letter
from the Secretary of the Admiralty, dated the 27th
day of March, 1846, stating that the Lords of the Ad-
miralty approve of Mr. Rendel's plans for a refuge har-
bour and packet harbour at Holyhead; and of the con.
ditions upon which the contribution of 200,0001., by the
Chester and Holyhead Railway Company, had been ten-
dered for the same, as referred to in the Treasury minute
of the 3d day of April, 1846. Also, copies of any report

of the sea ground proposed by Mr. Bendel to be incloseci
