POLICE TELLIG EiV CE.— Lis Day.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CAUTION TO OWNEILS OF /SIGHT CAB HORSES.—Gcorgo
Cook, a cab proprietor, of Dorsot-mews East, appeared
before Mr. Tyrwhitt to answer the complaint of the Royal
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, of
causing a horse to be tortured by being worked in an un-
fit state.

Mr. Norton appeared for the defendant, and the chief
of of the society was in attendance.
Sergeant Hunt, 46 C, deposed to seeing the defendant's
horse attached to a cab on the stand in Davies-street, and
on examining it he found both knees broken, and seve-
ral sores, the knees having been plastered over with
lamp black and grease to prevent the condition being seen,
but on speaking to the defendant's horsekeepor he said the
grease was put on to make the hair grow, the horse having
fallen down a fortnight before.

George Young, an officer of the society, said the defen
dant told hint that he ordered his borsekeoper to sew' ou
the horse, and that ho knew it Lad bad feet, but not Lac
knees.

Mr. Arthur Cherry having doscrit•e d the condition of
the horse, said that the horsekeeper to the defendant told
him that the horse had been down a fortnight ago, and
that the grease was put on its knees to make the hair
gt ow.

For the defence, John Burgess, horsokeoper to the de-
fendant, was called, and he said the horse was perfectly
sound when he sent it out; it had never been down, and
ho never said so.

Both Mr. Cherry and Sergeant Hum were recalled, and
they positively asserted that the witness told them the
horse had been down a fortnight ago.
Mr. Tyrwhitt, taking into consideration the heavy
greenyard fees the defendant would have to pay, fined the
defendant 10s. and costa.

THAMES.
• DARING HIGHWAY ROBllRRY.—Octavius Clements,
aged 18 years, and Michael Daniel Briant, 26, were brought
before Mr. Benson charged with highway robbery.
Mr. Pelham, solicitor, stated the case for the prosecu-
tion. The irisoners had in the most daring manner robbed
a constable on the highway of his watch and chain. Mr.
James Horn, the prosecutor, was a constable in the Mill
Wall Duck, and had just got out of an omnibus on Sun-
day night in Limehouse, when he was followed by three
men, of whom the prisoners were two. Clements laid hold
of Mr. Harris's watch and handed it to Briant. The pro-
secutor was hustled, and before he could recover from his
surprise tLe thieves had made their escape.
Mr. Benson remanded the prisoners until Saturday.

BOW-STREET.
UNMANLY CONDreT OP A HussAmp.—Henry Walton,
described as a law waiter, was brought up on a warrant
charged with assaulting his wife.
It appeared from the evidence of the complainant that
she was married to the defendant in 1857, and soon after
he deserted her for five years, leaving her penniless and
at the mercy of thelworld. .At one time she was compelled
to seek for parochial assistance, but by the kindness of her
friend she was enabled to collect together some little fur-
niture. This was ultimately placed in a house in Woburn-
place by a deed of settlement, to whioh the defendant
agreed. The apartments were rented by her, and she in
no way required support from her husband. He, however,
on the night in question obtained admission, and assaulted
her violently by striking her in the face, and demanded to
search the house. She stood in bodily fear of him and
was compelled to seek the protection of the court.
There were no witnesses called on either side.
It was urged on the part of the defence that the com-
plainant annoyed her husband repeatedly at his office, and
that he merely went to her home to search for some per-
son who he had reason to believe was staying there.
Mr. Vaughan reprimanded the defendant very severely
for his unmanly conduct, fined him £5 or six weeks' im-
prisonment for the assault., and ordered him to find two
sureties in £2O each to answer for his good conduct for 12
months.

EXPLOSION OF GAS AT THE GLOBE THEATRE.-
Last night just before the rising of the curtain on " Pro-
gress," and while the band'wers playing the last few bars
of the overture, great alarm was created by a violent re-
port as of fire-arms, followed by a thin cloud of smoke,
which was seen issuing from beneath the stage just be-
hind the footlights, which bad become extinguished by
the shock, thus adding to the alarm which might have
resulted in a panic, but for the presence of mind displayed
by some person connected with the theatre in coming for-
ward and reassuring the audience.

AYLESBURY PLOUGHING MATCH.--The autumn
ploughing matches have been resumed this year with
their usual vigour. Up to Saturday last, nine, open to
all England, had taken place in various parts of the king-
dom. One of the most interesting matches took place on
Wednesday last at Mr. J. K. Fowler's farm at Aylesbury,
where Baron Rothschild annually offers a .£lO 10s. cup, for
the owner of the team whose man makes the best work in
the labourers' class. This naturally induces many gen-
tlemen to send their crack ploughmen. This year seven-
teen entered the competition, and some capital work was
produced. The fortunate winner was Gurney, in the em-
ploy of Mr. Peter Gamble, of Halton, who carried off the
first prizo and the cup with one of Messrs. Ransome's cele-
brated ploughs. The All-England prize at this meeting,
as well as at Woodstock on the previous day, was won by
James Barker, Messrs. Ransome's own ploughman. We
understand that Messrs. Ransoms have won seven out of
the nine All-England matches mentioned above.

ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR-7his Day.

To day the citizens assembled in the Guildhall
for the purpose of electing an alderman to fill the
office of Lord Mayor of London for the ensuing
year. Great interest attended the proceedings, in
consequence of the proposition to re-elect the present
Lord Mayor, Alderman Lawrence, in preference to
Mr. Alderman Besley, who stood the first on the
rotation list. The Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and
Sheriffs, having attended Divine service at St.
Lawrence, Jewry, they entered the Guildhall,
which was very much crowded, in proces-
sion. Alderman Besley was loudly cheered, but
the Lord Mayor was received in anything
but a cordial manner. The Common Crier having
ordered all persons not being liverymen to with-
draw on pain of imprisonment, the Common Ser-
geant then announced that the Lord Mayor and
aldermen would withdraw while the election
was being proceeded with. Mr. Jones
rose amidst loud cheers and disturbance,
and said he wished to put SOlll3 questions
to the candidates for the office. He contended that
the real question had been blinked, because accord-
ing to his views the present question was not who
was to be Lord Mayor, but to whom did the city
belong, to the livery men or to a few special in-
dividuals. The city had had filched from it lands
that were worth £30,000 a year, and he wished to
know whether the present Lord Mayor, if elected,
would use his best endeavour to get back the
Bridge House Estates as set out in the report
which had been presented to the Common Hall.
(Confusion.)

Mr. FRICKER having asked some further
questions,

The LORD MAYOR said one short answer would
suffice for the purpose. No profession or promise
he had ever made remained unfulfilled.
The Common Sergeant then read the list of
Aldermen eligible for the office.

A great scene of uproar here took place, amidst
which Mr. Phillips proposed and Mr. Nottage
seconded the re-election of the present Lord Mayor.
Mr. Findley then proposed Alderman Wilson, in
order that two Aldermen might be returned to the
Court of Aldermen. The state of confusion was
heightened by the continual calling out of " Three
cheers for Alderman Besley," which were given
with hearty goodwill. All sorts of interruption
took place, until at last the speakers gave way, and
then Mr. De Jersey came forward and said what he
desired was to protect the livery of London from
cliquism, and with that view he proposed Alder-
man Salomon as a mere matter of form.
The names of the Aldermen were then submitted
to the meeting—first, Alderman Dakin, which
called forth no remark ; next, was Alderman Bes-
ley, for which every person in the hall held up his
hand amidst the loudest cheering. The other
names were then put seriatim, but on the name of
Alderman Lawrence, t'le Lord Mayor, being sub-
stituted the most discordant yelling, hooting, and
hissing broke forth.
Mr. Sheriff Cotton then announced that. the
election had fallen upon Alderman Braley and Al-
