man in York-street, Westminster, of the condition of
whi:th place there have of late been serious complaints
made.

Mr. Henry Wright, corn chandler, 56, York-street, said

that last evening he was sitting in his shop, when the pri-
soner buddenly entered it from the back premises and
said ho wanted to pass through into the street. As com-
plainant did not know where he came from, what he was
doing there, or what he might have done, ho told him he
could not go through his shop, and had no business there•
Defendant turned round and tried to get over a back wall,
and on complainant endeavouring to prevent him, defen-
dant struck Lim three or four times in the face and gave
him a black eye. Defendant appeared excited, but com-
plainant could not say whether he was under the influence
of liquor. _ _

Mr. Selfe--What kayo you to slip to this, defendant ?
Defendant—l broke out of barracks, that's all, and
wanted to get, through this man's
place. His yard is at
the back of the barracks.

Mr. Selfe—ls there any man from the regiment here to
speak to defendant's character ?

A sergeant of the Grenadiers handed up a written cha-
racter of defendant, and said—" Thg man has been ton
times corrected by military courts-martial."
Dennis (the court gaoler)—This man has also been
charged with felony, and, upon conviction, received 18
months' imprisonment.

Complainant—Of course this is a great annoyance to m•
I could not let this man through my placed I did not
know what he might not have done.
Mr. Selfe--Ilis conduct is very disgraceful. 1 shall com-
mit him for six months to hard labour.

Defendant—Thank you. I wish it was Biz years.

A VIRAGO.—Ann Riley, an Irish laundress, about 40
years of age, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with
assaulting and wounding VP hilhelmina Ulthorpe, a poor
woman, who appeared in court with a surgical bandage
round her head.

The complainant, a native of Germany, said her husband
was a sugar baker, and that they rented a small house, No.
3, Lower Grove-street, St. George-in-the-East. The pri-
soner and her husband were lodgers, and very bad ones
They were in the practice of making a disturbance in their
apartment every night. Yesterday as the prisoner was
going out she expostulated with her, and asked her
why she made so much noise every night. The prisoner
immediately struck her on the head with a key and inflicted
a severe wound, from which she bled profusely.
Police-constable 262 A took the prisoner into custody
this morning. When the charge was preferred at the
station-house, she said "Yes, I'll tell you how it was done,
the German old beast. This will be the worst day's work
she ever did." The acting inspector told the prisoner that
she had better tell her story to the magistrate.

The prisoner, in defence, said she never struck the com-
plainant, who, she alleged, was wounded by her daughter-
in-law, Catherine Riley, on Wednesday night last.
The complainant denied the accuracy of the prisoner's
statement.

Mr. Paget adjourned the case for the attendance of Dr.
Budgett, of Back Church-lane, who attended tho com-
plainant, the prisoner's daughter-in-law and other wit-
nesses, and the further hearing of the case will be resumed
this evening.

DR. MANNING ON THE PAPACY.

Upon the occasion of the celebration of the fes-
tival of St. Ignatius Loyola, at the church of the
Jesuits, Farm-street, Berkeley-square, on Wednes-
day morning, the Rev. Dr. Manning delivered a
long address upon the doctrines of the Papacy, the
subject being suggested by his recent visit to Rome.
He announced that it was his intention to make
known what took place there in a more permanent
way for the use of the clergy of his diocese. He
declared that the more he thought of the scene
which was then presented the larger its propor-
tions seemed to grow, and the less able he felt
adequately to describe it. The beauty, splendour,
and majesty of what passed in that city was
altogether beyond his power of expression. He
could not hope to convey to them a proper idea of
what he beheld when he saw the Vicar of our Divine
Lori, the successor of St. Peter, offering the Holy
Eucharist over the tomb of the Apostle in the great
basilica of the world. While men outside the
Church were disputing as to the interpretation of
the words "Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I
will build my Church," half the episcopacy
of the
world assembled in Rome, and gave their sense of
the interpretation. Upon Peter, as a person, the
Church of God was built. At the great festival
there was visible amongst them the successor of St.
Peter himself. The gathering in Rome of 500
bishops from all parts of the earth, professing and
cherishing the same great and glorious doctrines,
proved the universality of the Roman Catholic faith.
Its union was such that it was identical in all parts.
It never assumed any national character. It was
the same everywhere. lie doubted whether there
was ever so famous an example before of its uni-
versality. Every form of language in the civilised
world, and beyond the milised world, was spoken
there. On Whit-Sunday he found himself at the
Holy Mass, in the Cistine Chapel, between an
Armenian patriarch and an Arabian bishop. They
could not speak Latin, and knew no other language
than their own, yet in their hearts and his there was
not divergence or discord about a single particle
r
of doctrine or belief. Not only was the universality
of the Catholic religion thus exhibited, but also its
wonderfulunanimity.
Was
this e ?elt anything
had absurdly said
that the Pope feared such a council as that which
assembled. Why the fact was that it was suggested
by the Sovereign Pontiff himself. As to the result
of this important gathering of the bishops, he firmly
than tli been in the world morn
believed that it would awaken in the Church of God
throughout the world a consciousness of the unity,
universality, and authority of the Church to which
they belonged. R would give a hundred-fold
strength. It would vindicate its liberty and spiritual
freedom.

THE BREADALBANE PEERAGE AND ESTATES.—
This highly important case will be heard before the
House of Lords on Tuesday next, on which occasion a
great number of witnesses will be produced for examina-
tion at the bar. Testimony of a very strange and romantic
haracter will, it is aoticipatod, be disclosed. The appeal
from the Court of Session in Scotland, with reference to
whether tho marriage of the grandfather and grandmother
of Mr. Campbell, of Glenfalloch, be valid, has no connec-
tion whatever with the present claim to the title and estates
of the late Illarquis of Breadalbane.
