MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A WIPE BY HER HUSBAND.—
Matthew Gallavun, an Irish labourer, aged 30, was brought
up on remand, before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting
and wounding Margaret, his wife.
On the night of the 6th inst., at nine o'clock, a police-
sergeant, named James Fry, No. 653 A, was called to the
house No. 3, Emden-court, Whitechapel. A woman was
screaming, and the sounds of blows were distinctly heard.
The house was closed against the police, and Fry got in at
a window, and saw the prisoner beating his wife, who was
covered with blood. The prisoner knocked her down with
a chair, which he broke over her. Fry seized the prisoner,
who said his wife had boon spending the money he had
given to her for housekeeping purposes in drink.
Mr. Phillips, surgeon, of Spital-square, now described
the wounds on the unfortunate woman. She was bleeding
copiously from the nose and mouth. Ono of her arms wa
fractured, and there wore seven contused wounds on th
same arm. The other arm was severely contused, there
were bruises on her chest, and her features were distorted
by the blows inflicted upon her : she had been savagely
beaten.

In answer to Mr. Paget, Fey stated that the prisoner's
brother had got the wounded woman into the country, and
that she would not attend.

Mr. Paget said, as there was no prosecutor, ho must dis-
charge the prisoner.

ANOTHER WOMAN BEATER.—Charles Brown, a pastry-
cook, aged 25, of No. 10, Rich-street, Limohouse, was
brought beforo Mr. Paget, charged with wounding Emma
Ross.

The prisoner had a quarrel with the woman, and after
beating her threw a glass sugar basin at her head, and in-
flicted a deep wound, dividing one of th• arteries and
causing groat loss of blood.

Mr. Brownfield, surgeon, said the wounded person was
unable to attend.

Mr. Pagot romanded the prisoner for a week.

The balloon the (leant made its second ascent
this season at the Esplanade des Invalides yester-
day with five persons. The rain in the afternoon
delayed the inflation, and the signal for departure
was not given before six o'clock. The immense
construction rose to a height of about 30ft., and then
fell almost to the ground. A quantity of ballast
having been thrown out the balloon again rose, but

this time drove into the trees by the side of
.the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and in which the wicker
house, which serves as a car, almost completely dis-
appeared, causing a general panic. The cords, how-
ever, did not give way, and presently the balloon
with its freight finally ascended, and soon disap-

The-bulletin of the Paris Observatory gives the
following as the atmospheric situation on Saturday :
" The wind is weak and variable over the north and
west of Europe. Heavy gusts are passing over
France and Italy. The barometer has fallen in the
British Isles, Scandinavia, Central Europe, and
Italy. It is rising in the south-west of Europe.
The sky is very variable iu France and rain is fall-
ing on several points." In Paris yesterday the
weather was exceedingly agreeable in the forenoon,
a considerable quantity of rain having come down
during the night and cooled the air. But about
half-past two in the afternoon an exceedingly heavy
shower fell and lasted some time. At three the
thermometer marked 20 Cent. (68 Fahr.)
Some fears had been entertained lest Croatia
should allow herself to be hurried into an ill-advised
opposition to the work now in course of accom-
