Matthew Gallavun, an Irish labourer, aged 30, was brought
up on remand, before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting

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 wore distinctly heard.

a window, and saw the prisoner beating his wife, who was
covered with blood. The prisoner knocked her down with
a chair, which ho 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.

the wounds on the unfortunate woman. She was bleeding
copiously from the nose and mouth. One of her arms wa
fractured, and there were seven contused wounds on th
same arm. The other arm was severely contused, there
were bruises on her chest, and her features wore distorted
by the blows inflicted upon her : she had been savagely
beaten.

In answer to Mr. Paget, Fry stated that the prisoner's
brother had got the wounded woman into the country, and

charge the prisoner.

no material change to note in values. Stocks on hand,
compared with those of the corresponding period of last
year, show a deficiency of about 900 tons.

demand, but a fair business has been done in floating car-
goes for exportation at about former prices.

past week, but the amount of business transacted has been
very limited, and prices remain without alteration. At St.

with hand money, and 48 silver roubles on the spot.

The balloon the Geant made its second ascent
I 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

with its freight finally ascended, and soon disap-
peared before a breeze iu a north-easterly direction.
The bulletin of the Paris Observatory gives the
following as the atmospheric situation ou 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 in 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.)
Somo 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-
plishment in Hungary. That apprehension seems
to be dissipated, as the journals and letters of Agram
express ideas of concord and uuiou.
