ITALY.

Tunrx, July 29.—The latest intelligence from
the scene of the recent attempt at insurrection
in the Lunigiaua represents everything as perfectly
quiet, and therefore this movement, which would
be simply ridiculous if it were not also unhappily
mischievous, may now be considered at an end.
The troops have now returned to their quarters,
with the exception of one company of Bersaglieri,
which remains ou the frontier near Ortonovo. The
Sardinian Government has received information
from MASS% and Carrara that tranquility is per-
fee, ly re-established in the Modenese territory.
From Parma we learn that Count Crenneville
was about to leave, for a time at least. His friends
there said he was only going on leave to some
watering place, but as the Corriere Italian° and
other German papers have already reported his ap-
proaching promotion and removal from his present
command, it is very possible that his departure will
be final—" for good," as they say—and that be has
only been left so long in order not to give his re-
moval the appearance of a recall on the demand of
the Duchess.

General Count Stakelberg has been appointed
Minister Plenipotentiary at this Court by the Em
peror of Russia, and is shortly expected here.
Baron Hubner, who is now travelling in Italy,
is expected, it is said, to visit Naples in a few days.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.

130 WS ['REEL

ASSAULTING THE POLICE.—This morning a mac,
dressed as a costermonger, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Henry, charged with violently assaulting the police.

From the evidence of two constables of the F divi-
sion, Nos. 13 and 79, it appeared that yesterday after-
noon the prisoner came to the police-station in Bow-
street, to lodge a complaint against a police-constable.
Having made his statement he became violent, and was
with difficulty persuaded to quit the place. On reaching
the door he recommenced his violent conduct, and the
two constables took him into custody, and then the
assault complained of took place. One of the officers
stated that he kicked and bit him, and it took four men
to lodge him in the lock-up.

Inspector Mitchell stated he was on duty yesterday
afternoon at the k tation-h ouse, and at about three
o'clock the prisoner came into the charge room and sai
he wished to make a complaint against a police-constable.
On questioning the man he stated that whilst he was
taking some beer to a public-house the constable had
called him a thief. The constable was sent for, and,
on his arrival at the station-house, he distinctly denied
having done so ; whereupon the prisoner said be had,
and that it was useless to make any complaint against
the police. As far as he saw the man received no insult
from the policemen in the charge-room, although he had
asserted that two of them had behaved improperly to-
wards him. He was decidedly drunk when he came to
the station-house.

The prisoner denied any intention of assaulting
the police ; but, after he had been called a thief, and,
thinking his complaint was treated light►y, he felt
vexed. The police first commenced the assault.
Mr. Henry The Inspector says you were drunk,
and as you have severely hurt a police-constable, I
fine you 50 shillings for the assault, or, in default,
three weeks' imprisonment.

CAUTION TO CABSIEN.—A cabdriver was next charged
with using abusive language to a gentleman named
Wilson.

From the evidence of the complainant it appeared
that at about 12 o'clock last night, being in the neigh.
bourhood of Whitechapel, a:A having but an imperfect
knowledge of the locality, he engaged the man at the
bar to drive him to the Strand. On their
arrival at that place he gave the man la. 6d.,
judging from the time he was in the cab—about twenty
minutes—that would be about the fare. The man took
the money, and turning it over, said the sixpence was a
bad one, and that he was a swindler, and that he
ought to have half-a.crown. He continued his abusive
language, and a crowd collected, and feeling annoyed at
the abusive language of the man he gave him into
custody.

The cabman, in answer to the charge, said the gentle.
man hailed him as he was going home, and he under•
stood him to say he would give him half a-crown to drive
to the Straw'. On arriving at the destination he lost his
temper when he found he was only to receive ls. G 3., as
it was less than the fare. He was not drunk, as he had
only taken a few glasses of ale during the evening.
The magistrate said the present charge related to using
abusive language, and not to the amount of the fare.
The driver of the cab had his remedy by summons when
bis just fare is refused, and he has no right whatever to
use abusive language. So serious an offence had it been
considered that the act empowered him to commit any
driver to prison for two months with hard labour, with-
out the option of fine. However, as this was the first
offence he had committed, during the number of years
he had been a driver, he would only fine him 20s.
The money was paid.
