SAVAGE ASSAULT ON A WOMAN.—A dissipated looking
man, about 40 years of age, who gave the name of William
Priss, and said he was a smith and engineer, was brought
before Mr. Yardley on a eharge of assaulting a young:wo-
man named Sophia Cotton, who exhibited marks of violence
on her person.
The complainant said that she was on her way home
about one o'clock this morning and was accosted near
Chamber-square, Whitechapel, by the prisoner, who asked
her where she was going, to which she replied that she was
going home. Prisoner staggered against her and she took
hold of his arm and steadied him Directly afterwards he
dropped a shilling on the ground. She stooped and picked it
up and told him to take care of his money. Directly after-
wards the prisoner came up to her and commenced abusing
her and swearing at her. She asked him what he meant by
such conduct, to which he answered, " I will soon let
you know," and beat her with great violence with his
clenched fists about the head and face.

Mr. Yardley—Did he inflict these marks on your face P
Witness—He did. sir.

Henry Holland, a police-constable, No. 84 H, said that
he heard the screams of the woman, who bled a good deal
from the nose. Ho heard the prisoner make use of the
most infamous threats, and say he would give her more
of it.

The prisoner said he was drunk, and knew nothing about
ho matter.

Mr. Yardley—That is no reason you should beat the
woman, who gave you no offence. This is a most extraor-
dinary proceeding. You are sentenced to two months'
imprisonment and hard labour.

THE DISTURBANCES IN THE PARISH CHURCH OP ST.
GEORGE IN-THE-EAST AND THE MISSION CHAPEL,
WELLCLOSE-SQUARE.—John Peterson, a Swede, by trade
a sugar baker, appeared before Mr. Yardley on two sum-
monses, which charged him with making a disturbance in
the parish church on the morning of Sunday, the 18th
inst., and also with disturbing the congregation at St.
Saviour's Mission Church, Wellclose-square, on the even-
ing of the same day. •

This was a prosecution instituted by Mr. Motion, a mem-
ber of the rector's congregation, and arose out of the un-
happy dissensions in the parish of St. George, arising out
of the innovations Introduced by the rector into the ser-

ices.

Evidence was gone into at great length, and the ease was
proceeding when our parcel was despatched from the court.
Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, conducted the prosecution ;
Mr. Charles, Young, solicitor, for the defence.
The proceedings appear to excite the greatest interest,
and the court was crowded to excess with ratepayers of St.
George's parish, the choristers of St. George and the
Mission Church, and members of the vestry. There are
many witnesses to be called on both sides, and the case is
expected to be protracted until a late hour.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY IVITR VIOLENCE.—John Drew,
a powerful-looking young man, well known to the police,
and who is in the habit of hanging about houses where
pugilists resort, was charged before Mr. Bingham with
being concerned with another, not in custody, in violently
assaulting a country gentleman, named William Docking,
at present staying at St. James's Hotel, Strand, and steal-
ing from his person one £5 note, a cheque for £5 18s., and
other moneys.

Mr. Docking said that on the evening before last ho was
at Mr. Count's, the Coach and Horses, St. Martin's-lane,
where he stopped two hours, seeing the prisoner and others
sparring, and had treated the prisoner to some ale. He
left about half-past 10, and when he had got about
20 yards down the lane, in front of a shut-up house,
and where it was rather dark, he was suddenly knocked
down by a blow given' sideways; and though ren-
dered incapable of assisting himself, he was yet
conscious enough to tell that he was being robbed also, and
he believed by two men. On recovering a little he found
that the property above mentioned was stolen from him.
He afterwards received information from Mr. Caunt (who
was present in court), and the prisoner was taken into cus-
tody. Ho had not recovered any of his property.
Miss Caunt said the prisoner left the house with the pro-
secutor, who had been drinking.
Warren, 56 C, said that on taking the prisoner into cus-
tody ho tried to get away, and said that ho lived at 21,
Lichfield-street, but on going there he found that his
mother lived there, and that he had mot been there for ten
months.

Prisoner said he lived in Monmouth-court, and thought
the number was 4, but was not certain.
A constable said he had had the prisoner once before on
a similar charge, and he was dismissed..
Mr. Bingham remanded the prisoner that inquiries might
be made.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—Although we know it is your practice to
hold over ex parte reports of legal proceedings, yet
we do not feel that we can ask you to suspend for
several days the publication of the defendant's
statement, made on the motion for a new trial this
day, on which, of course, the plaintiff could not be
heard.

On this application it was suggested that certain
facts, seemingly inconsistent with the plaintiff's
case, were within his knowledge. We are aware
that our client, Mr. Scully, can show beyond all
question, that they were wholly unknown to him,
but he has no opportunity of doing so until
he shows cause, a few days hence.
In the meantime, should the proceedings appear
in your columns, we shall feel obliged by your in-
sertion of this letter, in order that the denial may
circulate as early and as widely as the report.—We
are, sir, your obedient sgrvants,

THE LATE CONDITION OF THE RIVER THAMES.

A report was brought up from the Main Drainage
Committee stating " That they have entered upon
the consideration of the reference of the board, in-
structing them to report as to the best means for
ascertaining the flow of water over Teddington
Lock, and approximately the quantity of fresh
water from the tributaries of the Thames between
Teddington and Barking, more particularly 'in dry
weather,• and as to the most 'effectual means for
ascertaining from time to time the chemical condi-
tion of the water and depth of mud in the Thames
at various points of the river; that having come to
the conclusion with respect to the first branch of
the inquiry, that the only mode by which the re-
quired result could be arrived at would be by the
construction of a new weir, and having been given
to understand that the conservators of the Thames
had it in contemplation to erect works for taking
gaugings at 'Teddington Lock, they communi-
cated with that body upon the subject, and have
ascertained that they have, at present no such in-
tention ; that the weir could not be constructed
without the sanction of the conservators, and
its erection would involve a considerable outlay,
and even assuming that this board should
obtain permission to construct the necessary
works, it is subject to grave doubt whether the
board could legally apply their funds to such an
object; they are therefore not prepared to recom-
mend to the board to incur the expenditure. Hav-
ing ascertained that there are no effectual means of
-dealing with the principal question involved in the
reference, they have abstained from prosecuting the
other branches of the inquiry."
Mr. WRIGHT believed if the state of the Thames
during the last summer was remembered, that this
subject ought not to be so summarily disposed of,
and moved that it bereferred back to the committee.
After some discussion this was agreed to.
Another report was received from the Main Drain-
age Committee, recommending that they be em-
powered to authorise Mr. Oakley to enter into con-
ditional arrangements with owners of property re-
quired for the construction of the Northern High
Level Sewer and the Main Outfall Sewer from the
River Lea to Barking, and where necessary to con-
cur with the agents of claimants in naming a third
party to decide between them ; all such arrange-
ments being made subject to the approval and rati-
ffcationibf the board.

Mr. BRI.STOW moved the adoption of this report,
which was ultimately agreed to.

It was then moved that the necessary notices be
served on the owners of land in the line of the
Northern High Level Sewer and the Main Outfall
Sewer from the River Lea to Barking, stating the
intention of the board to enter upon such lands for
the purpose of executing main drainage works.

tired of the dull routine of garrison life, and that
its nominal master must provide adequate work,
or that it may, like the familiar in the of i tales of
witchcraft, turn against its empllyer. But idle-
ness is, save in time of war, the normal condition of
all standing armies, and the Fre.:, h sabreurs
must be contented to accept the common lot.
The mere hint thrown out may create a temporary
excitement sufficient to answer the contemplated
purpose. There was something of a similar cha-
racter with respect to Great Britain a year since.
But we could afford to laugh these menaces to scorn,
and matters soon resumed their ordinary appear-
ance. We believe it will be so in the present in-
stance, and that the apprehensions which have occa-
sioned so much mischief will soon be satisfactorily
disposed of.
VICTOR EMMANTJEL is unquestionably in earnest.
But although he would, with very slender encou-
ragement, endeavour to retrieve the misfortunes of
1848, he would not be so insane as to make the
attempt without the certainty of powerful
assistance. The sacrifice of his young
daughter will not give a sufficient assurance.
He must have a direct pledge, and the moment he
accepts he will become the mere tool of the French
EMPEROR—a man without a will of his own, or
power to initiate an independent movement. At
present Sardinia has great weight in the councils
of the Great Powers, but the moment it acts so
recklessly, its prestige will vanish, and it will
become a mere cypher in the diplomatic world.
Austria will not take the initiative. It is making
every preparation, but certainly it must be the
chief sufferer by war, as it cannot hope for assist.
ante from either England or Prussia for the
defence of Lombardy, it will endeavour to avert
the danger. We trust it may be by reasonable
concessions, by removing the real grievances that
oppress its Italian subjects. We do not therefore
believe that war is curtain, or that in this country
our foreign relations will supersede our domestic

THE PRINCE OF WALES IN
BRUSSELS.

On Wednesday the Prince of Wales, accompanied by
the personages of his suite, and by the Duke of Brabant and
the Count of Flanders, visited various parts of Brussels ;
the party dined afterwards at the chateau of Laeken. In the
evening the King of the Belgians, the royal family, and the
Prince of Wales went to the palace of Brussels, to the second
court ball given by the King. More than 1,200 g aests
filled the magnificent salons. The entire diplomatic corps,
the ministers, with the exception of M. Rogier, Minister of
the Interior, the high civil and military functionaries from
the various provinces, and foreigners of distinction iii,gyeat
numbers, assisted at the fete. The Apostolic Nuncio, Mgr.,
Gonella, after having been received first of all by the King,
withdrew, as usual, after the entry of big Majesty and their
royal highnesses into the grand salle d'honneur. The
duchess wore a very rich and charming ball dress, rose-
coloured, and trimmed with lace ; coiffure studded with
diamonds. The King and princes wore the grand cordon
of the order of Leopold upon their brilliant uniforms. The
Prince of Wales wore a rich English uniform, with the
royal insignia of England.
The princes took part in several dances. The Prince of
Wales, giving his arm to the Duchess of Brabant, walked
through the rooms in the midst of the crowd of guests. The
King withdrew into his apartments at supper-time, after
joining in conversation with several of the guests. The
ball was kept up until 2 o'clock yesterday morning. The
King, the Prince of Wales, and the royal family remained
at the palace.
On Thursday his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales
left Brussels on his way to Italy.

scale. Flour is held firm, but not much dealt in, at last
week's currencies. Indian corn neglected. Oats and oat-
meal quiet, at late prices. Egyptian beans were a shade

SUN OFFICE, Six o' Clock.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 10th have arrived.
The proceedings in the Senate and the Chamber of
Deputies on the preceding day were not of any
political importance. The Government had sus-
pended the recruiting of men for the army of
Cuba, but had ordered it to be continued for Porto
Rico. M. Rios Rosas, ambassador at Rome, had
been obliged to stop at Barcelona, from indisposi-
tion, on his way to Rome. This had given rise to
the report that he had interrupted his journey, not
from indisposition, but from the determination of
the Pope to insist on the execution of the concor-
dat and of the convention of M. Mon, and to refuse
to enter into negotiations for the modification of
them. The Duchess de Moutpensier, says the
Correspondancia Autografa, is in an interesting
situation.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A BLACIC-
TY-ALL RAILWAY uUARD.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. W. Baker, the coroner,
held an inquest at the Guy Earl of Warwick
Tavern, Crisp street, East India-road, Poplar, re-
specting the death of Thomas William Barrett,
aged 51 years, a guard lately employed on the line
of the Blackwall Railway, who died under the fol-
lowing sudden circumstances :
It appeared that the deceased had been in the
service of the company 17 years, and bore an excel-
lent character for sobriety and good conduct. The
deceased had enjoyed excellent health, and on the
night of Wednesday last an anniversary supper was
given at the house of Messrs. Heard, the Grundy
Arms Tavern, Poplar. It was about eleven o'clock
when the deceased entered the house with a friend
named Pearson, and hearing harmony going on in
the parlour, they, by permission of the landlady,
were allowed to join the company. He left about
two o'clock in the morning, and expressed himself
delighted with the singing, and retired. He then
proceeded to his residence, at No. 12, Crisp-street,
where the landlady (Mrs. James) heard a moaning
noise. The wife called the latter, and she went in
at the wife's request. She was rubbing his stomach
and he was sensible. He spoke and said, " I am very
bad." The wife was dressed and seemed alarmed.
She had been up with him an hour, and he seemed
in pain and was very cold. Mr. elham, the sur-
geon, was called, and attended, when remedies
were administered, but deceased died shortly after-

wards.
Mr. Ambrose Nelliam, surgeon, of No. 21, Crisp-
street, Poplar, said that ho was called on Thursday
morning, at five o'clock, and found deceased lying
partially on his face and left side upon the bed.
Witness spoke to him and found him sensible. He
had an agonising pain between the chest and
stomach. Deceased said he had been drinking
strong rum without water. Deceased seemed to be
suffering froth violent spasm of the chest. Anti-
dotes to allay the sufferings were given, but de-
ceased expired notwithstanling the greatest at 3n-
tion was paid to him. The immediate caul() of
death was inflammation of the bowels.
The Jury were dissatisfied with the medical tes-
timony, and ultimately the proceedings were
adjourned for a post-mortem examination.

THE MAIN DRAINAGE SCHEME.

A report was read from the Finance Committee,
stating the steps taken by the committee on the
resolution of the board, referring to them the sub-
ject of the financial arrangements under the Metro-
polis Local Management Act Amendment for the
Main Drainage. It further stated that the Bank
of England were willing to advance the money at
3/ per cent., to be advanced in sums of £50,000, as
the works proceed. This arrangement was entered
into with the sanction of the Lords of the Treasury.
It was agreed to refer the subject back to the
Finance Committee, with instructions to carry the
arrangement into effect.

COLLIERS' STRIKE AT WIGAN.-THE
MILITARY CALLED IN.

WIGAN, JAN. 14.

The town and neighbourhood of Wigan has been
in a very agitated state yesterday and this morn-
ing, owing to the forcible steps taken by the col-
liers on strike to prevent any of their number from
returning to work. For some days past men have
been gradually returning to work' at the Ince Hall
Colliery, about a mile from the town, and this
morning it was expected that about 600 people in
all would have resumed work but for the interference
of the unionists, who are determined to prolong the
strike. The magistrates and other authorities have
been anxious to afford all the protection in their
power to the men disposed to resume work ; and
about midnight Inspector Peters, of the county
Police, was despatched with a force of twenty-two
men and a sergeant to Ince Hall for this purpose.
On arriving there, however, a large force of
unionists began to assemble, and by five o'clock this
morning their numbers had increased to many
thousands. They were divided into bodies of 500
to 1,000 men each, and took possession of all the
approaches from the town, forming an effectual
barrier between the police force and the men
desirous of resuming work. The inspector advan-
ced to one of these bodies of unionists with the in-
tention of passing them, but stones were thrown at
him and his men, and the mob threatened to fire
upon the police if they persisted in their object, Under
these circumstances the colliery could not be re-
opened this morning, and large bodies having assem-
bled in the market-place this morning at 9 o'clock,
armed with sticks and staves, and assumed a threaten-
ing attitude, the magistrates were induced to post-
pone for a fortnight some summonses against turn-
outs which were to have been heard. Meantime a
company of the 22d Infantry has arrived from
Manchester, and the town has assumed a quieter
appearance. Large bodies of special constables are
being sworn in, so as to render if possible the
assistance of the soldiery unncessary.

party to decide between them • all such arrange-
ments being made subject to the approval and rati-
ffcation of the board.

Mr. BRISTOW moved the adoption of this report,
which was ultimately agreed to.
It was then moved that the necessary notices be
served on the owners of land in the line of the
Northern High Level Sewer and the Main Outfall
Sewer from the River Lea to Barking, stating the
intention of the board to enter upon such lands for
the purpose of executing main drainage works.
