LONDON, IVEDYESDAY, APRIL 4, 1866

An interesting ceremony rook place in Edinburgh
on Monday, when Mr. CARLYLE was installed as
Rector of the University.
Additional attraction was
imparted to the proceedings from the circumstance
that, more than 50 years ago, the learned gentleman
was a student in the classrooms of the university.
Seldom does a man thus return to the scenes of his
early days, and receive such high honour. In re-
turning thanks Mr. CARLYLE made avery interesting
speech, which contained ample scope for reflection
and consideration—it was, indeed, a discourse emi-
nently suited for those entering on the cares, duties,
and pleasures of existence. lle took an elevated view
of the destinies of men, and urged strongly upon his
hearers the importance of energy and perseverance,
but he proved himself the best adviser and the
trusty friend of those around him by not disguising
from them the difficulties of their task. lle im-
pressed upon them what was the real value of uni-
versity training was that it forms a taste for reading,
and the next thing to do is to be wise and be as-
siduous in reading. " Learn to be discriminative
in your reading also," observes Mr. CARLYLE, ad-
vice which at the present day is certainly very neces-
sary and desirable. History is, of course, put fore-
moat in ;,the rank of desirable study ; and
the new Rector said, " You will find, if
you read well, a pair of extremely re-
markable nations ithining in the records left

The Spanish frigate Villa de Madrid and Blanca,
which were cruising in search of the allied fleet,

THE 15TH EING'S HUSSARS STEEPLECHASES.

On Monday last the annual steeplechases of the Sand-
beck Hunt and the officers of the 15th Hussars (Sheffield
Barracks) came off near East Retford, in the presence of
the master of the hounds, Viscount Galway, 31. P., and the
officers of that regiment, but the day was very unfavour-
able, rain falling heavily during the whole afternoon. An
immense company were drawn together, and over the ex-
tent of the course—four miles in length-46 hurdles and
water-courses had to be jumped. Capt. Humphrys won
the Regimental Challenge Cup with his chestnut gelding
Marengo ; the Sandbeck Farmers' Stakes fell to the lot of
Mr. V. H. Hannam, with his brown gelding, Lord Cank-
low ; the 15th Hussars Hunters' Stakes to Capt. Enery (b
g Badger) ; the stakes of the Nottinghamshire Hunt
Steeplechase to Mr. J. W. Richardson (br g Morris
Dancer); a cup of the value of 50 guineas (the gift of Capt.
Enery and Capt. Maxwell) to Cornet Wilson (oh in Con-
science); the Retford United Hunt Steeplechase to Mr.
Bradley (oh g ;
Pena-oner); and the Subaltern's Cup, value
60 guineas, the gift of Cornet Wilson, to Lieut. Le Mesu-
rier (ch g Lincoln). The course, owing to the heavy fall
of rain, was very stiff,
and many of the riders fell but no
serioußegimentals
inju
ChallengerYoccurred. Capt. Ricardo rode the winner of
the Clip, value 100
guineas, and of
the 15th Hussars Hunters' Stakes; Mr. Brockton rode the
winner of the Sandbeek Farmers' Stakes; Mr. Brooke, the
winner of the Nottinghamshire Hunt Stakes; Mr.
the winner of the 50 guinea cup ; Mr. G. Walker, the win-
ner of the Retford United Hunt Steeplechase; and Lieut.
Le Mesurier the winner of the Subalterns' Cup. The meet-
ing, as far as sport was concerned, was eminently success-
ful, and such steeplechasing Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire,
Lincolnshire (which were each represented) never before
produced.

The court adjourned.

THAMES.

EXPENSIVE AMUSEMENT.—Joseph Searles, a young man,
was brought before Mr. Paget charged with wilfully break-
ing a public lamp in Railway-street, Bromley, Middlesex.
Richard Walter, a police constable, No. 378 K, stated
that he saw the prisoner coming over a high railway
bridge this morning at a quarter past 1 o'clock. There
was a lamp on the bridge, and the prisoner made a blow at
it with a stick, and missed. The prisoner then retreated
to the steps at the top of the bridge, made a run, and
struck the lamp with his stick. One of the panes of glass
in the lamp was broken. Its value was only ls. ; but he
had been informed by the parochial authorities that the
system of lamp breaking was carried on to a great extent
by young men and other stupid persons, and that from
twenty-fivo to thirty lamps were broken in the imme-
diate district of Bromley and Poplar every night.
Mr. Paget fined the prisoner 405., and ls. in addition
the value of the glass, which was paid.
A BRUTE.—William Brown, a labourer, was charged
with assaulting a married woman named Harriett Coppin,
of No. 1, Ann's-row, Stepney Green.
The complainant was in the Mile-end Road, returning
from a butcher's shop with meat for his dinner, when she
received what she termed a severe "smash " on her face,
which was followed by two or three other smashes on the
face, and on the eye, with some blunt instrument. She
was blackened and swollen, but there was nothing in the
appearance of her face to confirm her statement that she
had been struck with a blunt instrument.
Several witnesses saw the prisoner strike the woman on
the face with his fists, and she did not give the semblance
of rrovocation. She never saw the prisoner before. He
was an entire stranger to her.

Mr. Paget said the prisoner had committed a strange,
brutal, and savage assault on a respectable woman pass-
ing quietly along a public thoroughfare. Women were
entitled to protection from such outrages as these. He
sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for two months,
and kept to hard labour.

THAMES.

EXPENSIVE A➢iUSEMENT.—Joseph Searles, a young man,
was brought before Mr. Paget charged with wilfully break-
ing a public lamp in Railway-street, Bromley, Middlesex.
Richard Walter, a police constable, No. 378 K, stated
that he saw the prisoner coming over a high railway
bridge this morning at a quarter past 1 o'clock. There
was a lamp on the bridge, and the prisoner made a blow at
it with a stick, and missed. The prisoner then retreated
to the steps at the top of the bridge, made a run, and
struck the lamp with his stick. One of the panes of glass
in the lamp was broken. Its value was only ls. ; but he
had been informed by the parochial authorities that the
system of lamp breaking was carried on to a great extent
by young men and other stupid persons, and that from
twenty-five to thirty lamps were broken in the imme-
diate district of Bromley and Poplar every night.
Mr. Paget fined the prisoner 405., and Is. in addition
the value of the glass, which was paid.

A BRUTE.—WiniaM Brown, a labourer, was charged
with assaulting a married woman named Harriett Coppin,
of No. 1, Ann's-row, Stepney Green.

The complainant was in the Mile-end Road, returning
from a butcher's shop with meat for his dinner, when she
received what she termed a severe "smash " on her face,
which was followed by two or three other smashes on the
face, and on the eye, with some blunt instrument. She
was blackened and swollen, but there Ras nothing in the
appearance of her face to confirm her statement that she
had been struck with a blunt instrument.

Several witnesses saw the prisoner strike the woman on
the face with his fists, and she did not give the semblance
of Provocation. She never saw the prisoner before. He
was an entire stranger to her.

Mr. Paget said the prisoner had committed a strange,
brutal, and savage assault on a respectable woman pass-
ing quietly along a public thoroughfare. Women were
entitled to protection from such outrages as these. fie
sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for two months,
and kept to hard labour.

THE SITN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 4, 1866.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day,

BOW-STREET.

William Stephens, described as a " horso-coper," was
placed at the bar, charged with violently assaulting his
wife, and turning her out of doors.
The complainant said on Sunday night about half-past
ten sho went to a public-house to persuade the prisoner to
come home and give her and the children something to eat,
which he refused. lie told her to go to the wcrkhouse,
when she told him she had been there, and that
now she should go to the station-house. He said he
would go with me, and we both went. The inspector told
her he could do nothing for her, and we then all went

home. When we got in doors be caught her by the arm
and said, "If I cannot slowly murder you I'll starve you
to death." He then struck her several times. Per body
was now covered with bruises from the prisoner's ill-usage.
The prisoner after he had beat her went to bed. lie turned
her out of doors, and she then had to go to her sisters.
Mr. Vaughan asked the witness how long she and her
husband were quarrelling.

Witness said from half-past ten to nearly two o'clock,
after that he " chucked" her out of doors.

Mr. Vaughan—But what was going on between you and
your husband between ten and two ?
Witness —We were quarrelling all the time.
Prisoner said the witness was a disorderly and violent
woman, and that the violence she complained of occurred
because he was preventing her getting at the knives, as she
had previously struck him with a fork.
The sister of the complainant said sho witnessed the
violence of the prisoner towards his wife. She received
a blow and a violent pinch from the prisoner, as she was
relieving his wife from his ill-treatment. She had heard
the prisoner say that if he could not murder his wife he
would starve her.

Mr. Vaughan—Do you ever go to the public-house ?
Witness—No, sir; I never had a glass of spirits, and I
only lately have had a little beer because of my baby.
Police-constable F 20 said he took the prisoner into
custody this morning on a warrant. Ho denied ever hav-
ing ill-treated his wife.
The case was adjourned for the attendance of additional
witnesses.

THE ITALIAN ARMAMENTS.

FLORENCE, APRIL 4.

The Florence journals of to-day contradict the
statement that any military preparations are being
made on the part of Italy, and declare that there is
no question of concentrating troops at Bologna or
any other point. The military movements have
simply been occasioned by the ordinary requirements
of the service.

A Volunteer Charged with Attempting to

Shoot the Prince of Wa eE.

BRIGHTON, Tuesday Evening.

A member of the London Irish, who still throng
the town, was detected with ball cartridge in his
pocket at the Review on Monday, under circum-
stances of strong suspicion that he contemplated the
assassination of the Prince of Wales.

The rumour was, that the accused, whose name
is Patrick Butler, had on Sunday night, whilst
in a state of intoxication, declared at a public-
house where he met his comrades, that, if oppor-
tunity offered on the morrow, he would shoot
the Prince of Wales. No notice was taken of the
matter, but some of the other members talking on
the subject, it came to the ears of the officers,
and was reported to the Marquis of Donegal,
who directed that no steps should be taken till
the arrival at the race hill. The captain of
his company, then addressing Butler, told him what
he had heard, and asked if he had any ball cartridge
about him, to which he replied in the negative, but
on being searched, ten rounds were found in his
pocket. He was at once given into custody.
This morning the prisoner was brought up for
examination at Brighton, but the investigation was
adjourned till to-morrow.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

MAKING TOO FREE WITH THE KNlFE.—Benjamin Button,
a leather cutter, residing in Bermondsey, was charged be-
fore Mr. Tyrwhitt as follows : —Pawson, 121 C, said that
shortly after seven the previous evening he saw the pri-
soner drunk and behaving in a very disorderly manner in
Great Chapel-street, Oxford-street. The prisoner, who
caused a great disturbance, then ran away. A person then
said that the prisoner had attempted to stab him, and he
went after him and took him into custody, and found in his
pocket a knife.
Mr. James Humphreys, of No. 14, Great Chapel-street,
said that while passing up the street a person asked him
the cause of the disturbance. He said he did not know,
but that he had seen two men fighting; then the prisoner
stepped up and said, "If you make a laugh of it I will give
you this," at the same time taking a knife faom out of his
sleeve and holding it close to his face, " and the first man
who comes out of Pickford's office I'll be hanged for."
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the witness said the pri-
soner was an entire stranger to him, and he had not given
him any provocation. He believed the prisoner was
drunk and mistook him for some person at Pickford's (the
carrier's) office.
The prisoner said he had a drop of ale with some of his
shopmates, and while at the public-house a stranger came
in and drank out of his glass. This led to a fight between
them, but he remembered nothing about taking out a
knife to the witness.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said persons who were in the habit of
drawing knives on the slightest occasion must be shown
that such a thing could not be permitted, and the prisoner
must therefore find bail to keep the peace for six moo ths.

Among others, he introduces an aerial, flighty -kind
of way, here and there a touch which grows into a beauti-
ful picture a scheme of entirely mute education, at
least with no more speech than i 3 absolutely necessary for
what they have to do. Three of the wisest men that can be
got are met to consider what is the function which tran-
scends all others in importance to build up the young gene-
ration, which shall be free from all that perilous stuff that
has been weighing us down and clogging every step, and
which is the only thing we can hope to go on with if we
would leave the world a little better, and not the worse of
our having been in it for those who are to follow. The man
who is the eldest of the three says to Grath°, " You give by

a great many precious gifts, and very frequently thesef are
best of all developed by nature herself, with a very slight
assistance where assistance is seen to be wise and profitable,

and forbearance very often on the part of the overlooker
of the process of education ; but there is one thing that no
child brings into the world with it, and without which all
other things are of no use." Wilhelm, who is there beside
him, says, " What is that ?" "All who enter the world

PEDESTRIANISM.

HACKNEY-WICK.

On Monday afternoon last, notwithstanding the bad
weather, the famed "Wick" had again its thousands of
visitors, and bad it been fine there would have no doubt
been one of the greatest musters for years. The sportswere
of a varied kind, for independent of the annual meeting of
the Cornwall and Devon Wrestling Society, there was
pedestrianism and also a great gathering of the Ring cele-
brities, more conspicuous among the latter being O'Bald-
win,
who is said and believed will be the future cham-
pion. Our account, however, must be as brief as possible
consistent with the importance of the meeting. There were
present many of the gentry from the "two counties," and
the wrestlers, the first of the present day, mustered in
greater force than they have for years. As is usual the
sports commenced with pedestrianism in a
QUARTER OP A MILE HANDICAP.—The competitors were
divided into four heats, and they contended for money
prizes, the preliminary trials being decided as follows :
First Ileat.—W. Davis, with2s yards start, came in first

was second ; and Small, who went from scratch, being out
of the race.
