THAMES.

INTIMIDATING A WIT NESS*—J ohn Sullivan, a we'l-
known blackguard and ruffian, was brought up on re-
mand on a charge of assalting and robbing Catherine
Flynn in the Black Horse public- house in Well-street,
near the Sailors' Home, Whitechapel. The woman, who
had been terribly illused by the prisoner, did not attend on
the first examination through terror, and the Magistrate
having rocefvod sufficient evidence to justify him in re-
manding the prisoner now asked if Catherine Flynn was in
Attendauce.
Childs, 193, H Division, the constable in charge of the
case replied, "No, sir; the prisoner said if she did attend
she would have her brains knocked out ; he uttered a ter-
rible oath when he said so." Last night another fellow
said to the complainant, "you will have your brains
knocked out if you appear against Jack Sullivan."
The prisoner—We have lived together. She was a
itavey in Tiger Bay.

Mr. Paget—l don't care what she is. I will have her
here, and you shall not escape. If any one dares to
threaten or intimidate this unfortunate woman, whom you
have been Musing and robbing, they shall bo severely
punished. You are remanded again till Thursday next.
WILD SPORTS OF THE EAST.—Elizabeth Evans, with her
hand bandaged, was charged with assaulting another
woman named Julia Driscoll, whose nose was strapped up.
Both females aro persons of infamous character. An old
grudge existed between them, and inflamed by gin and
hatred they determined to fight it out, and the two furies
struck, bit, and scratched each other. The prisoner bit
her adversary's nose, and Driscoll bit the prisoner's finger
and nearly divided it.
Mr. Paget sent for Mr. Horton, a surgeon, of High-
street, Stepney, to examine the two women, and he pro-
nounced that there was no danger in either case, but both
were seriously injured.
Mr. Paget commented on the disgraceful nature of the
occurrence in a civilised community,Swhere two women
fight like savages. It was really shocking to humanity.
He remanded the prisoner for a week, and requested Mr.
Horton to attend again and he would receive his evidence
at length, and then decide the case.

EXECUTION OF THE DEPTFORD
MURDERER.

-----
Joseph Welsh, aged 42, who was convicted at
the last session of the Central Criminal Court of
the wilful murder of John Abrahams, at Dept-
ford, was executed this morning at nine o'clock,
withinjthe walls of the County Prison at Maidstone.
fle walked to the scaffold with a firm step, and ap-
peared to be dead in au instant, and hardly the
movement of a muscle was perceptible. The body,
after hanging for an hour, was cut down, and at 12
o'clock an inquest was held upon it. The jury
returned a verdict that the deceased had been exe-
cuted in the due form of the law, and the body was
buried within the prison.

Colonel Robertson Ross, Adjutant-General of
Militia for the Dominion of Canada, has reported
favourably to the Privy Council of the Dominion on
the preparations made for emergencies at Gode-
rich, Toronto, and other points.
Captain Cumming, 48th Regiment, will proceed
to Langard Fort, Harwich, to-day, and will take
over the command of the troops at that station
from Captain Daubeny, 2d Battalion, 18th Regi-
ment. Captain Daubony will return to Colchester.
Leave of absence has been granted to Colonel
Michell, D Battery, B Brigade, Royal Horse

Mr. Husk, of the Royal Music Hall, Holborn,
announces that his benefit will take place on Friday next,
the 19th inst., on which occasion an entertainment of more
than ordinary attraction will be presented. Mr. husk has
received promises of support from a number of talented
performers, and to add further eclat to the evening's amuse-
ments the Hall is to be tastefully decorated with flowers.
The endeavour of Mr. Husk has al mays been to provide
for the comfort and entertainment of the thousands who
patronise " the Royal," and fur such exertions he deserves,
and will no doubt receive, the general support of those to
whose pleasure he has so largely contr:butod.
The latest production of the Messrs. Fuller, the
managers of the Female Art Gallery, Groat Russell-street,
Bloomsbury-square, is a series of new fernographa for
colouring and illumination. The novelty has all the
appearance of a highly-finished drawing, the different
varieties of ferns that compose the various groups are most
gracefully and artistically blended, and when the vivid
colours used in illuminating are filled in they present a
beautiful appearance. The fernographs are the produc-
tions of the lady students of the gallery, and from their
great merit and cheapness a very large sale will ensue.
