BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)
Henry aS'oaper was charged before Mr. Henry with
having violently assaulted an elderly man.
The complaisant stated that he was a porter in the
employ of Messrs. Bramah. Last night he was return-
ing home through the Strand, a route which was un-
usually crowded, and he accidently ran against a man
who was walking 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 he was unable to speak sufficiently distinct
to be understood, ho 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 explain
himself, but he was understood to insinuate that 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 hear Mrs. Dexter
lecture. Witness gave information at the police-station
in Featherstone-street, and Inspector Jecks, with a body
of police, went to disperse the mob. In spite of their
intreatios, 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 mea❑ 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. D'EYNCOURT, 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.

PEDEBTRIANISM.—Yesterday afternoon a foot-race,
between ➢tanks and Searles, two noted pedestrians, took
place at the Oval, Kennington. Tho distance was ten miles,
or forty times round the ground, and, in addition, 200
hurdles were to be leaped. Manks gave his rival a start
of 200 yards, but before half the distance was accomplished
the runners were side by side. In this relative position
they remained for five rounds, when Manks shot ahead
and speedily gained such a lead that Searle, at the 29th
round, stopped short and confessed himself beaten. Manks
completed the whole distance in ono hour and thirteen
minutes.

JEALOUSY AND MURDER.—A letter from Finland
received by a commercial firm in Bordeaux gives an account
of a horrible crime :—Some months ago a tradesman of
Borga, named Ansen, married a young girl named Margue-
ritha, of a highly respectable family. Although her conduct
was strictly proper, and she was admired and beloved by all
who knew her, he entertained suspicions of her, and kept
strict watch on all her movements. Having at last obtained
what he considered proof sufficient of her guilt, he resolved
to murder her. Accordingly one day he sent away the
domestics, and proposed to his wife to visit some friends at a
distance. On the night before that appointed for the de-
parture, he stole softly to her chamber, and plunged a dagger
into her breast as she was sleeping. He then cut the body
into pieces, and packed it in a cask, He afterwards wrote
an address to some imaginary place in Greenland, and caused
the cask to be confided to a carrying house. 'I he Custom-
house officers having some suspicion, insisted on examining
the contents, and, to their horror, found the dismembered
body of the victim. On the top of this was a letter from
the murderer, stating that, to avoid the scaffold, which he
merited for his crimes, his intention was to hang himself.
He added that after the murder he became convinced that
his suspicions of his wife were unfounded. The remains of
the unfortunate woman were given up to her family for
burial.

SERIOUS ROBBERY BY A FOREIGNER.--A German
named Aronis Morjose has been robbed in Manchester of
1,6001. in Bank of England notes by an Hungarian refugee
named Jacob Alter. They lodged together at a boarding-
house, Morjose being in the town as a buyer of goods ; and
on Saturday afternoon, while they were at dinner, Alter
complained that he was poorly, and left the room. L4oon
after he left the house, and subsequently Morjose discovered
that his box had been opened and his notes gone. Suspi-
cion fell on Alter, with whom he had been very friendly and
to whom he had shown how to open a secret spring which
locked his box, but he could not be found, and the police
are now endeavouring to trace hint.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Saturday morning an
accident, which terminated fatally, occurred to a man named
William Dobson, while at work at the Lambeth Water
Works, Tnames Ditton. The deceased was employed with
others in the erection of a tall chimney upon the works, and
on Saturday morning he was engaged in hoisting a large
stone, weighing upwards of two tons, by means of a wheel
erected upon some poles. The deceased sat upon the stone
while it was being raised, to prevent it striking the scaffold-
ing. When about 50 feet from the ground, one of the poles
suddenly broke, and the ponderous mass fell to the earth.
The deceased was thrown upon the ground with great vio-
lence, and when raised, he was found to be quite insensible,
He was removed to the Fox and hounds, public-house,
Seething-Wells, Kingston, where he lingered until yester-
day, when death put an end to his sufferings.
PRESCOT, ST. HELEN'S, AND WIGAN JUNCTION
RIIImAY.—A meeting of the inhabitants of Prescot has just
been held at the Town-hall, when resolutions were passed,
and a memorial to the directors of the London and North-
Western was agreed to for the formation of a branch railway
from lluyton by Prescot to St. Helen's and Wigan, so as to
accommodate, in addition to the passenger traffic, the con-
Veyancij of Cal frog the Wigan coalfields into Liverpool.
