WESTMINSTER.

SINGULAR FANCY.—Charles Stockwell, a man about 30
years of age, was charged with wilful damage.
Mrs. Cotter, of 14, Wood-street, Westminster, said that
at about 6 o'clock last evening she was in her front par-
lour, when she heard the smashing of glass, and found
two large panes of glass broken. There was no one near
but the prisoner.
Mary Hills said she saw him deliberately break the
window.
Mr. Selfe—What does he do this Ler, Mrs. Cotter?
Mrs. Cotter—l am sure I cannot tell you, sir.
Mr. Selfe—What do you know about him ?
Mrs. Cotter—Nothing whatever but that he broke our
windows a fortnight ago.
Mr. Salle—But there must be some reason for all this.
Mrs. Cotter —None that lam aware of. I know nothing
about him.
Mr. Selfe—Does anybody in the house ?
Mrs. Cotter—Nobody.
Mr. Selfe—lt is a very singular thing. What became of
the defendant when he was here before ?

Mr. Selfe—Can you pay the damage ?
Defendant—l ain't got any money.
Mr. Solfe—l can't understand why you should break
these windows. You are committed for 14 days.

A BAD BEGINNIxa.--:John Keefe, an Irishman, who
said he was 20 years of age, was brought before Mr. Paget
charged with assaulting Police-constable Hill, No. 101 H.
Last night the prisoner and another man were fighting
in Rosemary-lane, alias Royal Mint-street, Whitechapel.

Another police-constable confirmed the statement of
Hill, and said the prisoner was exceedingly violent., and it
required the united exertions of three men to convey him
to the station- house.
The prisoner, in defence, said he was a " labouring
boy," and he got drunk last night for the first time, and had
a fight. . . . _

Mr. Paget-A. vory bad beginning this. It is necessary
to protect those constables from assaults of drunken per-

Mrs. Elizabeth Westbury, an elderly woman, with her
right hand bandaged, said that yesterday afternoGn, at
half-past five o'clock, she was in North-street, Poplar, and
saw the prisoner rush out of a public-house and knock
down her son. He put her son's finger iti his mouth and
bit it. She put her hand on the prisoner's shoulder to draw
him when he put the first finger cf her right hand
into away,

and could recollect nothing more.:

William Westbury, boot machinist, of No. 11, Albert_

of ale, and the prisoner, without any provocatiun lift at
him and hit the window. The prisoner then bit the fore-
finger of his left hand, throw him down, and bit his
shoulder. The prisoner's teeth passed through a coat,
waistcoat, and two shirts.

Mrs. Westbury was hero obliged to leave the court in a
very sad condition.

The Prisoner—l am very sorry indeed. I was drunk.
Mr. Paget—You are remanded till the Ist of May,

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET,
This Day.
Market opens with rather a better feeling. Sales
probably 10,000 or 12,000 bales.

A NONAGENARIAN ULIMBER.—A few days ago
the Very Rev. Thomas Gamier, D.C.L., Dean of Winches-
ter, now in his 91st year, climbed up the famous St. Cathe-
rine's Hill, one of the highest of the high Downs which sur-
round Winchester, from which it is distant about a mile.
He was entirely unassisted in the ascent, but his butler
twice helped him in the descent. St. Catherine's Hill is
the hill which the Winchester boys are by statute bound
to ascend so many times a week " for their health," aad
probably Dean Gamier is the oldest living Wykylictrubt,

In conclusion, I do not hesitate to say that this
search after Livingstone would meet with the hearty
approval of the country.: It can be carried out at
small cost, and accomplished within a few months,
thus clearing away the painful suspense which hangs
over the fate of the illustrious traveller ; and surely
the civilised world will expect that such a tribute of
respect, at least, shall be paid to so renowned and
disinterested an explorer ?_
_ _

In proof of the intense interest which is taken in
the desire to ascertain the fate of my valued friend,
I may state that I have received more than 20 appli-
cations from competent men to serve as volunteers
in the " Livingstone Search Expedition."

PARODY ABOUT MR. BERN 4L OSBORNE.

The following we take from to-day's number of
Fun and at once give it as one of the finest parodies
we ever remember to have read :
Sung by Dodge-oro (Colonel T-yl-r) in tho Burlesque
Play of " The Reform Rovers."
It is a most provoking do !
To think that I's-Vas potting 'em
The guildess Diawyn and his crew,
When who should twig us but the hu-
morous M.P. for Nottingham—
morons M.P. for Nottingham.
[Weeps and pulls out a true blue Reform Bill. Gazing
tenderly at it, he proceeds—
weet Measure! chocks of truest blue
They soon had found garottiug'em,
If tliefhad helped to pass yon through,
Without detection by the hu-
morous M.P. for Nottingham—
morons M.P. for Nottingham.

[At each repetition of this lino Dodge-ero cracks his whip

in cadence.]
Bah ! Bah! As Rare)* trotted Crui-
ser, I was calmly trotting'em,
When, bang it ! who should enter—who ?
But that confounded pest—the hu-
morns M.P. for Nottingham—
morons M.P. for Nottingham.
The very form, in which they drew
My words up, clearly spotting 'em,
Ho offered to the House, as scrur
tineers—he did indeed, the hu-
morous M.P. for Nottingham—
morons M.P. for Nottingham.
My eyes! (with soda corks, it's true,
I have a way of dotting 'em
At awkward times) —a rare to do
Was thus created by the hu-
morous M.P. for Nottingham—
morons M.P. for Nottingham.
And since they can't escape the cru-
el sentence he's allotting 'em,
Their only chance is to abu-
se, and heap strong terms upon the hu-
morous M.P. for Nottingham—
morous M.P. for Nottingham.

[During the last stanza thdge-ero perceives that ho has
run his head against a wall, so hard as to produco a visible
confusion. The Curtain drops.]

THE TIN TRADE.—About the commencement of
March this branch of trade, which bad so long laboured
under considerable depression, began to show signs of re-
turning activity, and the position of both the home and
foreign markets gave countenance to the opinion that
prices had seen their lowest point, for at least some time to
come. The large and rather unexpected decrease in the
sales of Dutch banca materially contributed' to this im-
proved feeling, and the fact that a good many unprofitable
British tip mines had been stopped also influenced the
market. An advance in prices was declared by the
smelters, and for three or four weeks this advance was
fairly maintained. A reaction has now, however, again set
in, and the result is a considerable relapse in quotations.
Foreign tin meets with a very slow sale, and in English
the transactions are not by any means equal to anticipa-
tions. Prices have not yet, it is true, gone back to the old
point, but fully one-half of the advance established has
been lost, and prospects arievdaeiclsidiendnlylalneyssofenthceolmiraingiinngg
than they were a month ago. Owing to the state of the
trade a large number of Cornish miners are still out of

Mr. Alfred Tennyson, having been asked to sub-
scribe to a testimonial to Colonel Richards as the originator
of the volunteer movement of 1859, has forwarded a sub-
scription, accompanied by a letter, dated Freshwater, Isle
of Wight, April 19, in which he says: "I most heartily
congratulate you on your having been able to do so much
for your country, and I hope that you will not cease from
your labours until it is the law of the land that every man-
child in it shall be trained to the use of arms.—l have the
honour to be, yours faithfully, A. TENNYSON."
TIIE BLUE-COAT BOYS.—Yesterday morning,
according to long-established custom the scholars
of Christ's Hospital proceeded to the Mansion House on a
visit to the Lord Mayor, by whom they were regaled with
buns and wine, and presented each with a new silver
shilling. The lontline of quaintly-dressed boys, as the
procession moved along the crowded streets of the City,
naturally excited much attention. In the afternoon they
attended Christ Church, where a sermon was preached by
the Rev. J. Russell Stock, the Lord Mayor's chaplain.

SWEET WILLIA3I.--Certain Tories are fond of
sneering at Mr. Gladstone as " The People's William."
Of course it is a question of taste ; but surely one may bo

Amour Propro and Indian Star, and 12 to 1 each agst
Assinoboino, Vixen, Confederate, and Volunteer.
After innumerable breaks away the flag was lowered to
an equitable start, in which Indian Star, in company with
Magpie, Volunteer, the favourite, Amour Propre, and As-
sinoboine, came on slightly in advance to the rails. Here
Batthyany gave way, and shortly after Volunteer headed
Magpie and took his place on the right of the leader, the
pair being followed on the left by Mr. Lowe's Solt and
Assinsboine, who headed the heavy weight half-way up
and then challenged Indian Star, whom they headed after
a few strides from the chair, and finished an exciting race
home, Amour Propre winning in the last stride by a head.
Indian Star finished third, a length in their rear. Horror
was fourth, Volunteer fifth, Vixen sixth, Batthyany
seventh, and Magpie next. The last two wore Monitor
and Kate Kearney.

A slight delay at the post preceded the actual start,which
was attended by some .theusands of eager visitors, and
shortly after they were seen nearly in a line widely spread
across the course, but before they had proceeded a dozen
strides Uncas qu tted his horses, and with Pericles in at-
tendance, came on with the running, the pair acting as
pioneers for their respective favourites, in order to insure
a truo pace. To these succeeded Marksman by himself on
the lower ground, having the favourite, Julius, Trocadero,
Star of India, Owain Glyndwr, Plaudit, and the Maid of
Masham colt on his whip hand, and on their right were
seen the colours of Van Amburgh, the Miss Sarah colt, and
Mandrake, Knight of the Garter holding alone to himself
on the upper ground, who appeared to have got off
but indifferently, bringing up the rear. They ran thus for
a quarter of a mile, when Uncas, having performed his
allotted task, disappeared from the front, leaving Pericles
in advance, and who led them along at a cracking pace, the
effects of which became visible as they neared the T.Y.C.
ending post, the leader being the next to succumb, and
immediately after Plaudit, whom Snowden had been riding
for some distance, was noticed to give way, and shortly
before they reached the Bushes Hill, his retirement was
announced by the Occupants of the Stand, followed in a
few strides further by Mandrake, tho Miss Sarah colt, and
Huntsman. As they came over the brow of the hill Vau-
ban drew up to Marksman, the pair being closely attended
by Julius, Trocadero, Star of India, Van Amburgb, Knight
of the Garter, and the Maid of Masham colt nearly in a line,
Lut as they came down the hill Custance brought Captain
Machell's colt nearer the front, and as they entered the
Abingdon Mile Bottom he was upside with Julius, Vauban,
and Marksman ; the latter, however, was seen to give way
to Vauban, who with Knight of the Garter came on witk
the running, Marksman going on third, with Julius and
Trocadero next. Half way up the hill Julius was disposed
of, leaving the issue with the three, Vauban, who gradu-
ally drew away as they came on, stalling off the challenge
of Knight of the Garter, and winning very cleverly by two
lengths, Marksman finishing a head only from the Knight,
close up with whom came Julius fourth, Trocadero fifth,
Star of India sixth, Van Amburgh seventh, with the Maid
li of Masham colt and Plaudit, side by side, next. Then
came, at wide intervals, 0 wain Glyndwr, Ravioli, Hunts-
man, Pericles, the Miss Sarah colt, and Mandrake last.

SUICIDE FROM DISTRESS.—On Monday an in
quest was held in Catherine-street, Bromley, on the body
of Samuel Blackford, aged 37, a hammerman at an engi-
neer's. Deceased had been some months out of employ-
ment and that preyed upon his mind. He was suddenly
seized with paralysis, and has since been bed-ridden. Last
Thursday evening his wife found him hanging by a rope
to the bedstead. He was seated on the floor, and quite
dead. The jury returned a verdict of suicide while in a
state of temporary insanity.
NEW VOLCANO IN THE SOUTH SEAS.—The fol-
lowing is an extract from a letter from Mr. J. C.
Williams, her Britannic Majesty's Consul, Navigator's
Islands : —"A volcano has broken out at sea, at Manua,
about two miles from the island of Olosega. It was pre-
ceded by a violent shock of earthquake, which commenced
on the sth of September, and on 12th dense thick smoke
rose out of the sea. Lava was thrown up, discolouring the
waterfer many miles round, and destroying largo quanti-
ties of fish. Wherever the ashes fell on the adjacent
island they destroyed all vegetation. Up to the middle of
November dense smoke was still being thrown up, and my
informant says that the smoke rose higher than the neigh-
bouring island, which is over 2,000 feet high. We cannot
at present ascertain if there is any bank thrown up in the
water. Last July we steamed over the place in her Ma-
jesty's ship Brisk, and there ware no signs of shoals or
anything of the kind."
CHILD MURDER NEAR GLASGOW.—A shocking
case of child murder occurred on Saturday, at Pollock
ahaws, near Glasgow. The perpetrator was a woman
named Margaret Hunter, or Beaton, the wife of a labourer,
and the victim her child, an infant two months old. It is
said that about 12 months ago Mrs. Beaton exhibited symp-
toms of mental aberration, which led to her being confined
in an asylum. Latterly she has again become very eccen-
tric in her habits, so much so that for a week past her
husband remained at home to keep watch over her. On
Saturday afternoon the husband happened to go out for a
few minutes, and the wretched woman, taking advantage
of his absence, cut the child's throat from ear to oar with a
table knife. She made' no attempt to injure two other
children who were sitting by the fireside, but ran at once
to a sister's house and told what she had done. She was
there taken into custody and removed to the county prison
at Paisley.
NEW LIFEBOATS.—The National Lifeboat In-
stitution has just sent. to Exmouth, Devon, a fine now
lifeboat, mounted on a transporting carriage. The boat is
32 feet long, 7 feet 4 inches wide, and 3 feet 6 inches deep.
It possesses the usual characteristics of the lifeboats of the
institution in the way of stability, self-righting, and self-
ejecting water. The new boat replaces a previous one at
Exmouth, which was found too small for the station.
This was the gift eight years ago of Lady Rollo- to the
society. The new boat is named the Victoria, after her
Majesty, the Queen, in continuation of the name borne
on the old boat. The institution has also sent this
day a fine new lifeboat and transporting carriage to
Blyth, on the Northumberland coast. Tho boat is 33
feet long, 8 feet 6 inches wide, and rows ten oars double
banked.. It bad its harbour trial a few days since in the
Regent's CaLal Dock, Limehouse, when its self-righting
and other qualities were fully and satisfactorily tested.
The boat is named the "Salford," and is the tenth boat
presented to the institution by the city of Manchester,
through Robert Whitworth, E:ict., and the Rev. E. Hew-
lett, and is the second boat the Manchester people have
sent to the Northumberland coast, tho first boat being
stationed at Berwick-on-Tweed and named the Albert
Victor, after the eldest son of the Prince and Princeks of
Wales. It will probably be remembered that a beautiful
model of this lifeboat was presented to the Prince of Wales
when he vesicle,' a few weeks since at the annual mooting
of the National I.4ifeheat Institution in the Mantsim
