HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 2 o'clock.

ANOTHER FENIAN RISING.

Mr. MONSELL said alarming information had
been received within the last few minutes that an
outrage by Fenians had taken place in Ireland.
He wished to know if the Secretary for Ireland
could state whether this was the fact or not ?

Lord NAAS said the v;-1- y information the
Government had received wascontained in the fol-
lowing telegram, which he would .read to the
house :

• "•Wires cut early in the night between Da')lin as 1
Cork, and between Dublin and Limecick ; later
in the night between Dablin and Litu:rick ; up mails
late. Engine despatched from Thurles to discover
She came. Found lines blocked up, with
sleepers and rails tam up. One mail Bout
of Thurlee. All cononauicati wi h Cock,
Limerick, and Dublin, therefore denied to
as. We are ignorant as yet of what has t iken
place there. Risings around Dublin from Drog-
heda to Dundrum generally, but not so extensive
as the Fenians expected. In the dark. Impos-
sible to estimate numbers. Estimates vary from
1,000 to 4,000. No serious outrage on person or
property. At Drogheda barracks attacked. As-
sailants driven off. Some shots, and some per-
sons taken. Police stations at Crumlin and
liihnainham attacked without success. City emptied
.of its troublesome class. Army., perfectly tranquil.
Troops skilfully disposed. One or two men taken
with Greek fire, as well as arne.and ammunition.
Many now returning in twos and threes."
The following telegram had also been received at
the Admiralty from Commander Williams, Coast-
guard officer, at Youghal

" Fenians attacked police station at Castle
Martyr, twelve miles from here at 2.30, this morn-
ing. One man—an American L-said to be shot.
Several troops gone to assist. Telegraph wires cut
between this and Cork."

He was certain that such dispositions of the mili-
tary had been made as would prove protective to the
utmost throughout the country. The authorities had
not been unmindful, andpreparations had been made
to meet any emergency, (Hear, hear.)
TESTS ABOLITION (OXFORD) BILL.

Sir. COLERIDGE .noved the second reading of this bill,
the object of which was to abolish the religious tests now
imposed upon all candidates for scholar and fellowships in
Oxford University.
Sir W. HEATIICOTE said he'should not oppose the
motion for the second reading of the bill, but ho should
reserve his right of objecting to certain portions of the
measure in committee. _

The bill was then read a second time.
The other orders of the day having been disposed of the
house adjourned.

POLICE IN TELLIGEACE.—:This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SERIOUS ASSAULT.—John Angus, a lad living in
Smith's-court, Windmill-street, Haymarket, was charged
before Mr. Knox with the following assault on Mr. Ran-
dall Payne, bricklayer, of No. 2, Queen's-head-court,
Windmill-street. _ _

Mr. Payne (whose head was ban lagod) said that on
Tuesday night last he was much annoycd by a numb-;r of
boys jumping and dancing on a cellar flap. He wont ou
and requested them to go away, but they refused. He
insisted on them going away, and on attempting to get
one of them out of the court he attempted to kick him,
and he then pushed the boy. While doing so the pri-
soner came up and struck him with something he had in
his hand, two violent blows on the head. He was
smothered with blood, and had to go to a medical man
and have his wounds dressed.
The prisoner asked the prosecutor whether at the time
he struck him he was not engaged in knocking his (priso-
ner's) brother about.
The prosecutor said he was not. The prisoner had a
shark i,thstrument in his hand.

Inspector Harrison said there had been daily complaints
from the inhabitants of the nuisance they suffered front the
boys in the court.
''" • ' '

The prosecutor handed Mr. Knox a certificate, signed by
Mr. Harris, surgeon, of Windmill-street, to the effect that
the prosecutor had received two incised wounds of the
temple and face, and that the injuries might have been in-
stantly fatal.
The prosecutor's—son tnnvea sntaa ire pfisoner Strike
his father, the prisoner at the same time saying, " Take
that, you --."
Tin prisoner said he had no knife in his hand.

• Luk;Jeffrey, 49 C, said that on taking the prisoner into
custody last night he said, " Would you not hare done the
same thing if a man wits kuockingyour brother about ?"
The prisoner said that ho saw the prosecutcr knocking
his brother about, and lie struck hint to make him leave off.

Thomas Angus, brother of the prisoner, said that the
prosecutor knocked him about a good deal.
Mr. Knox said he had no doubt the prisoner interfered
on behalf of his brother, and if he had only struck the pro-
secutor with his fist there would have been little in the
matter. The question was whether the prisoner used any
instrument, 'and the medical certificate stated that the pro-
secutor had received two incised wounds, which might
have been instantly fatal. The prisoner was not justified
in using any instrument, and he might have been standing
in the dock on another charge. He would remand the
prisoner for a week, and the doctor could then attend.
VEXATIOUS PROCEEDINGS AGAINST CAB PROPRIETORS.—
Mr. Robert Norris, cab proprietor, of Black Horse-yard,
Carburton-street, appeared yesterday to answer a summons
for having a cab unfit for public use.
Hackney Carriage Attendant Jones stated that he found
the hinges of the cab door a little loose, and the bottom of
the door broken.

The Defendant stated that he was not aware there was
anything the matter with the cab, he never having received
notice from the authorities of the fact, which he was en-
titled to under the Act of Parliament. He considered the
prisoner's case of a most frivolous nature.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he quite agreed with the defendant
that the complaint was a trivial one. The defendant was
certainly entitled to notice, and he should therefore dismiss
the summons.

Several other summonses were dismissed for a similar
reason.

THAMES.

A GERMAN THIEF.—OarI Frederick, a German carpen-
ter, about forty years of age, was brtiught before Mr. Par-
tridge, charged with stealing a bed, 10 pairs of stocking.,
24 linen chemises, six knife cloths, and other property,
from the house of his brother, Auguste Frederick, Grove-
street, St. George-in-the East.
It appeared, from the evidence of Wilhelmina Frede-
rick, the prosecutor's wife, that her brother-in-law had
been in the practice of assisting there. Three weeks ago
the bed was safe on the bedstead; the other things were
in a box. After she had missed the property she saw the
prisoner several times, and he promised to return the pro-
perty he had taken away.
John Bowmann, a German shoemaker, said he purchased
three pawutickets of the prisoner relating to-a timepiece;
threw canvas bags, and a shirt... - • • •
Henry Hayward, assistant to Mr. Fuller, a pawnbroker,
said the prisoner pawned two teds and four pilloWs for £3,
and that the prosecutrix was' with him when he pawned
them..
Mr. Partridge asked the prosecutrix if she had lost two
beds.
Mrs. Frederick said she lost two beds, two pillows, and
two bolsters, worth £lO.
Hayward said the prisoner redeemed the bed, pillows,
and bolsters by means of a false declaration made before a
magistrate after he had sold the duplicate.
The prisoner said his sister-in-law allowed him. to pawn
the beds, bolsters, and pillows, and lent him the money he
raised upon the property.
The prosecutrix admitted this to bo true, and said the
prisoner gave her the ticket, and then made a declaration
that he had lost, and went with another person and re-
deemed the property.
Mr. Partridge—lt was stated a little while ago that he
had sold the ticket. There is nodoubt he made a false decla-
ration, and there is no dunbthis sister-in-law allowed him
to take some if net the whole of the property. The pri-
soner is discharged ; no jury would convict on this evi-
dence.

Her Majesty the Queen has appointed half-past
twelve o'clock on Saturday, at Buckingham Palace, to re-
ceive the address of congrattilation of the Corporation of
the City of London, on the safe delivery of her Royal
ITighness the Princess of Wales, and the birth of a Prin-
cess. The Lord Mayor, with the Recorder, the Sheriffs of
