THE STRIKE IN DUBLIN.

A Dublin paper came, it seems, to.a rather hasty
conclusion in its announcement that the dispute
between the masters and men had been amicably
adjusted by five-sixths of the former yielding to the
demand for an increase of wages. Such is not the
case. Some of the most extensive employers, on the
contrary, have refused compliance, and mean to
look elsewhere for zt supdly of hands to cover the
deficiency caused by the strike.

THE MARQUIS OF DROGHEDA'S YACHT.
Intelligence reached Dublin yesterday of the loss
of Lori Drogheda's schooner Fancy, 140 tons, off
the coast of Sligo. Lord and Lady Drogheda, and
Major Foster, Aide•de-Camp to the Lord. Lieutenant,
and crew have all fortunately been saved ; but a
vast amount of valuable property has gone down
with the vessel. Subjoined are a few particulars of
the catastrophe:— _ _

" Sligo Tuesday.
" This beautiful, schooner-rigged yacht, 150 tons,
became a total wreck in Sligo bay on Saturday even-
ing. On the schooner entering the bay a pilot offered
his services, which the marquis would not accept,
he feeling quite confident of his ability to pilot the
schooner into the harbour—a thing, indeed, he
could without difficulty have managed to do, the
bay being deep and remarkably free from shoals,
had it not been that the buoy on Bungar Bank was
removed, owing to high winds or some other cause
which I cannot take upon myself to determine. I
have not heard that it was mentioned to the noble
owner of the yacht that the buoy was off the bank,
and, unfortunately,- the vessel got aground there.
She lay so easily that, undoubtedly, if it had not
been that a more than usuary heavy sea was run-
ning she could have been get off with little or no
damage. As it was, the beautiful craft went to
pieces in the course of two or three hours, the crew
after conveying- the marquis and his noble lady on
shore, only succeeding in saving some plate, leaving
behind guns, clothes, and some valuable property,
part of which became the prizes of sea bathers from
Roscommon and Longford, some of whom are al-
ready brought to account for their covetousness by
the pike. I to t y mention here that one fellow was
caught with a lady's fine woven jacket on his
brawny shoulders. The marqui-; seems to be a little
grieved for the loss of his yacht. which was insured
fio: £4,000 only, which I am told, is little more
than half her value, and intends inquiring of cer-
tain knowing gentlemen who generally wear horse-
hair wigs if some quarter is not to blame for not,
as they were bound to do, having had a buoy placed
on the unlucky bank."

P 01,WE INTELLIGENCE.—Sept. 1.

BOW-STREET.--Henry Wm. Boynton, land-
lord of the White Horse, Holborn, attended before
Mr. Henry, to answer the charge of having brutally
ill-treated his wife on Sunday last.
The complainant, whose face presented a fright-
ful spectacle, stated her case on Wednesday, the
defendant offering no other justification of hic con-
duct than " that he ordered her to go upstairs, and
she refused to go." He claimed the privilege, how-
ever, of consulting a legal adviser, and the case was
remanded till 11 o'clock yesterday, the defendant
being permitted to leave on his own recognisance.
At the appointed time the defendant was again
present, with his solicitor, but neither the wife nor
her witnesses were in attendance.

Mr. Lewis, jun.; said he was instructed to appear
on behalf of the wife, who waited upon him at four
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and told him that the
defendant had gone home and packed up most of her
things and taken theM out of the house. He could
not account for her absence this morning, unless the
defendant's friends had managed to keep her away.
The defendant's solicitor said he believed Mr. and
Mrs. Boynton had lived on very good terms until
the present unfortunate occurrence. He had not
seen his wife or her servant since last evening. He
believed they had left the house.

Mr. henry said it was a very bad case, and he
could not allow it to be settled in this way. He
should detain the defendant in custody, and send an
officer to inquire for, and, if possible, to bring the
complainant to the court.
Smith, F 87, one of the summoning officers of the
court, was accordingly sent to make inquiries, and
at four o'clock he reported that complainant de•
dined to attend. In consequence of some communi-
cation from her husband she desired to withdraw
the charge, believing that to press it would ruin
them both.

Mr. Henry—l cannot have it settled that way. I
shall leave the warrant in your hands, and adjourn
the case to give Mr. Lewis an opportunity of seeing
the complainant, to ascertain what is really her in-
tention. In the meanwhile I shall enlarge the re-
cognisance.
The defendant's solicitor said his client was no
party to the arrangement.
Mr. Henry—We all understand these things, of
course.

The Solicitor—lf you think justice would be met
by his entering into recognisances—
Mr. Henry—Certainly not. She must attend
here, or Mr. Lewis must see her. I adjourn the
case for that purpose.
Tin; PUBLIC DRINKING FOUNTAINS.-Mr.
Marmaduke Langdale, who has recently caused to
be erected, in Ende,l-street, St. Giles's, a drinking
fountain for the use of the public of the district,
waited upon Mr. I-lenry to make the following
complaint :

M-7. Langdale stated that, induced by the bene-
volent example of Mr. Gurney, and supposing it
would be a real boon to the crowded inhabitants of
the district, he had directed one of these fountains
to be placed in Endell-street, and supplied with
drinking cups, which were secured by strong
chains to the walls. He had himself presided at
the opening of the fountain, when at least 500
persons were assembled, and a degree of approba-
tion was expressed which afforded him the utmost
gratification. Shortly after this ho left town, and
he now learnt with regret that during his absence
the w ater had ceased to flow, and the cups, chains,
grating, &c., had been stolen, although much force
must have been used to wrench them off. For
days the public were deprived of its use ; but now
he had caused fresh cups and still stronger chains
to be attached, and the water was again flowing.
His object in addressing the magistrate was to beg
that the police on duty there might be requested
occasionally to keep an eye on the fountain, for
really these depredations are extremely discourag-
ing, and, if repeated, would put a stop to private
gifts of this sort altogether.
Mr. Henry was sorry to hear of such occurrences,
and would mention the subject to the police,
although, of course, it would be impossible to place
a constable on duty at every fountain in London,
A gentleman in court stated that he frequently
passed the fountain in question, and had noticed
large crowds of disorderly boys, playing with the
water and making a great mess on the pavement,
but no constable was ever seen near it to interfere
with them. It was a district where a constable
might alwaYt be profitably employed within
siOit of the fountain, and it would cost a very
little extra trouble to clear the pavement of the
ragged urchins and idlers who congregated there,
and often prevented decent people from drinking
the water.
CLERKENWELL.—VIOLENT ASSAULT AND
CHARGE OF Cram. CON.—Thomas Dillon, a glass-
blower, residing at 16, Dorrington•street, St. An-
drew's, was charged with violently assaulting
Francis Henry Russell, an optician, of 13, Brewer-
street, Clerkenwell, in Fox-court.

The prosecutor, who appeared in the box with a
very
:bad eye, said that he called at the defendant's
house about business, and saw the defendant's wife.
About 11 o'clock the defendant came home and
abused his wife, and, without his (the complainant)
interfering, he was knocked down, and when he
got up, the defendant struck h'm a tremendous
blow in the face and blackened his eyo. •
The defendant did not deny the charge, but said
he thought he was justified in what he had done.
His wife was a very dissolute woman, and he was
compelled to live apart from her. He went home
to see if the children were attended to, and found
the complainant and his (defendant's) wife in such
a position that there could not be the slightest
doubt of their immoral connection. The complainant
got liehind the door, and if he (defendant) could
have got hold of him, he would have kicked him.
down stairs, and all such 4.‘ contemptible hounds'
like him.

The complainant, who looked very sheepish, did
not deny the statement of the defendant,.but called
his mother, who said " she really could not believe
it."

The complainant abused the defendant, and said
he did not sleep with his wife.
Mr. Tyrwhitt told the complainant he had
nothing to do with the defendant's business, and
being of opinion that the defendant had received
great provocation, he should dismiss the charge.
The complainant, who seemed very chop-fallen,
then left the court.

GREENWICH.--A WIFE CHARGED BY HER
HUSBAND WITH ATTEMPTING SUICIDE.--A re-
spectably-dressed young woman, named Jane
Foster, 22 years of age, of 5, Morden-street, Green-
wich, was charged before' Mr. Seeker with attempt-
ing to commit suicide by throwing herself into the
river Ravensbourne, at Lewisham.
The charge was preferred by the prisoner's hus-
band, from whom she has been separated during
the past three months, it being alleged that he had
deserted her. From the evidence given it appeared
that between seven and eight o'clock on Sunday
evening the husband and the prisoner entered the
Royal Albert, Blackheath-road, and called for some
ale. Having been seated in the back parlour some
time the husband left her for the purpose of speak-
ing to a person, and stayed away a considerable
time. During his absence the prisoner obtained
some writing paper and pen and ink from the land-
lord, who was aware of the differences between her-
self and her husband, and from what he observed
of the hurried manner in which she wrote, he came
to the conclusion that it was her intention to com-
mit suicide. This, fact he communicated to the
husband on his return, whose reply was, "If she
does it, it will not be the first time. I have pulled
her cut of the water once, and I then told her I
would not trouble myself again if she attempted to
make away with herself." The prisoner had then
left, and about two liours after the attention of two
young men was called by a gentleman to something
floating in the Ravensbourne at Lewisham, which
was found to be the body of the prisoner, who was
rescued in a state of insensibility, and conveyed to
a neighbouring
,inn, where medical aid was pro-
cured, and she eventually recovered, when she ad-
mitted having deliberately walked into the water,
alleging as a reason that while talking to a young
woman her husband ma her and accused her of
talking to a person of improper character, adding
that he had long suspected she was unfaithful to
him, and that he had then proved it.
Mr. Inspector Mott said there were witnesses to
speak to the cruel conduct of the husband towards
his wife, but
• Mr. Seeker declined hearing them, and ordered
the prisoner to find two sureties in £l5 each, to be
of good behaviour for the next three months.
