decrees of the fourth Council of Lateran, and those of
Florence and Trent. He openly asserts, for example,
that the Church has no right to enforce her authority by
might, and that she has no temporal power whatever,
whether direct or indirect."

The Risorgimento of Turin of the 3d inst. says:—
" Yesterday the Piedmontese workmen who had been
sent to the London Exhibition returned here. They
assembled at the Bourse, where they were met by
the Minister of Commerce and the members of the
Commission present at Turin. The men are perfectly
satisfied with their visit to the Crystal Palace and to
the great manufactories in the neighbourhood of
London. When the Minister recommended them to
be patterns to their fellow workmen by communi-
cating to them the information they had obtained
from their journey, they expressed a wish that an
exhibition could be organised, to which they would
bring all the objects of their art with the improve-
ments which they had learnt in London. It is very
easy to see that they will be very grateful, and will
not forget the advantages which they owe to the
generosity of their fellow citizens and to the solici-
tude of the Government."

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Henry S'oaper was charged before Mr. Henry with
having violently assaulted an elderly man.
The complainant stated that ho was a porter in the
employ of Messrs. Bramah. Last night ho was return.
ing borne through the Strand, a route which was un-
usually crowded, and he accidently ran against a man
who was vralking with the prisoner. He had no sooner
done so than the, prisoner turned round and deliberately
struck him across the bridge of the nose. Complainant
was quite astounded at the suddenness of the attack,
and asked the prisoner what that was for. The pri-
soner, who had an impediment in his speech, made an
unsuccessful attempt to explain himself, but finding
that ho was unable to speak sufficiently distinct
to be understood, he became frightfully exasperated and
let fly at the prosecutor right and left, and the assistance
of a policeman had to be called in.
Mr. HENRY asked the prisoner if he had anything
to say!
The prisoner, who appeared to make light of the
matter, stuttered so much that he was unable to explai❑
himself, but he was understood to insinuate tbat the com-
plainant was the aggressor.
Mr. HENRY said the prisoner had been guilty of a
violent and unprovoked assault, and he should therefore
fine him in the full penalty of 51., or in default of pay-
ment commit him to the House of Correction for two
months.

The money was not forthcoming and the prisoner was
Locked up.

WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A ladylike woman, about twenty-five years of age,
who gave her name as Mary Benson, was brought up
this morning before Mr. D'Eyncourt, charged with
causing a mob to assemble in front of the British School,
Cowper-street, City-road.
It appeared from the evidence of Police-constable
Hayward, 212 G, that about half-past nine last evening a
great crowd collected at the place above-mentioned,
where the defendant was haranguing the multitude, and
calling on them to adopt the dress she wore (the
Bloomer costume), and also to wait and bear Mrs. Dexter
lecture. Witness gave information at the police-station
in Featherstone-street, and Inspector 'hob, with a body
of police, went to disperse the mob, In spite of the it
intreaties, however, the defendant insisted on her right
to address her fellow-countrywomen, and on being told by
the inspector that Mrs. Dexter would not lecture that night
(it was last week her lecture was to have taken place at
the above school), she said, if Mrs. Dexter did not come
she would deliver a lecture herself. The crowd as-
sembled evinced the highest degree of excitement, and
it was found impossible to disperse them without re-
moving the primary cause, who was taken into custody
by witness.
It was stated by the inspector that the demeanour of
the defendant whilst in custody, together with the pro-
perty in her possession, bespoke her to be a person of
no mean station in society.
The defendant said she was a native of Gloucester,
and she was so convinced that the costume sought to be
established would be of utility and convenience to her
fellow-countrywomen, that she had come to town on
purpose to give it her advocacy. She understood that it
was last night Mrs. Dexter was announced for, regretted
her present position, and promised not to give cause for
a recurrence.
Mr. VEYNCOURT, taking into consideration that
she had been locked up all night, took her personal
recognizances not to offend again, and ordered her to be
discharged.
