POLIC,B INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULTS.—SEVERAL CASES.—Patrick
Mahoney, a rough-looking fellow, was charged before Mr.
Mansfield as follows :

Mr. Thomas Samuel Edwards, of the Black Horse, Tot-
tenham-court-road, said—Last night the prisoner came
into my house and used such vile language that all my
customers left. The prisoner, seeing that I was a cripple,
put himself in a fighting attitude, and on my attempting to
put him out he blackened my eye. With the assistance
of my young man I got him outside, when he jumped up
and broke a pane of glass of the value of 305., and also
tried to break another. He then tried to kick me
in a delicate part, and struck me twice on the head. The
prisoner has been a great annoyance to the neighbourhood
for years, only coming there when in St. Giles's his con •
duct was so bad that they would not serve him. His con-
duct was also beastly in the extreme.

A Constable—l have known the prisoner for 10 years,
your worship, and ho has frecpiently been convicted for
assaults.

Mr. Mansfield—For assaulting the complainant you will
have to pay 405., or 2 months, and when the penalty is
paid, or the imprisonment has expired, you will have to pay
30s. or one month for the damage to the glass, so that in de-
fault of pa) ing you will have three months in all.
Susan Sullivan, Michael Sullivan, and John Hickey, all
low-looking persons, and who are said to frequent the
Haymarket nightly for the purpose of getting up rows so
that thieves may pick pockets, were also charged as
follows :

Smith, 327 A, said—l was in the Haymarket this morn-
ing when I heard screams of " murder,' and " police," and
on going to the spot I heard the female using the most dis-
gusting language. I attempted to take her into custody,
when she jumped up, kicked me, spat in my face, and used

the most fearful language. A young man came to my
assistance, when four men, of whom the male prisoners
are two, attempted to get the young man away, and got him
down, and while on the ground they kicked him repeatedly.
They had all been drinking.
Mr. Frederick Ensoll, draper, of Broad-street, Golden-
square, said—Seeing the last witness with the female, I
assisted him, when the female bit my finger. The male
prisoner then came up, threw me under an omnibus, and
while on the ground I was kicked several times, and but
for the assistance of some 'busmen I should have been
severely injured.
Sergeant Draper, 14 E—The female's language was the
worst I ever heard.
The female was fined 205., or a month, and the men 40s.
or two months each.
Thomas Wilson and Charles Calder were next fined a
each or a month, for an assault on Bartholomew Foley,
24 E.

The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa states that a
great many Hungarian deserters are constantly arriving
there by railway, and are lodged by the municipality in the
suppressed convent of San Giacomo.
THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION.—The inaugural ad-
dress is to be delivered by Mr. Fairbairn on the evening of
Sept. 4, at Manchester. The members are to be invited to
partake of the hospitalities of the Earl of Ellesmere, at
Worsley, to the number of 600 on the 12th pros.

THE CRICKETERS' TRIP TO AUSTRALIA.—The
preparations for the departure of the cricketers of England
for Australia are nearly completed, the friendly and liberal
terms of the invitation recently received from the gentlemen
and players of Victoria having been cordially responded to.
The party will consist of 13 of our most eminent cricketere,
selected from the "All England Eleven" and the "United
Eleven." As the colonial players have attained a high de-
gree of proficiency great interest is evinced in both coun-
tries as to the results of the projected games. The list of the
players chosen to represent the " Old Country," in which
probably some changes may be made before the final selec-
tion is determined on, comprises the names of A. Diver, R.
Daft, T. Hayward, G. Anderson, H. Stephenson, J. Caesar,
J. Jackson, T. Hearne; R. Carpenter, J. Grundy, W.
Caffyn, G. Griffith, and T. Lockyer. H. H. Stephenson
has the management of the trip, in the place of G. Parr,
who is reluctantly compelled to decline accompanying the
expedition,
