-----
MURDEROUS ASSAULT BYI A BROTHER.—Henry Hum-
borr:;, a German shoemaker, residing at Whitechapel, was
charged with the following serious assault on his brother,
whose head was enveloped in bandages :
Charles Humborg, of 15, Marshall-street, Golden-square,
upholsterer, said the prisoner was his brother. A sister,
who resides with the prisoner, having complained to him
(prosecutor) of his brother's conduct, he wrote to him ask-
ing him to come and see him, and in consequence of which
he did come on the previous night. Hearing a knock at
the door he went to it, and on opening it found it was his
brother, and said to hint " Here you are," and then said
" How can you ill-treat our sister so ?" He made no
answer, but with a piece of iron, the half of a poker, pointed,
struck him a tremendous blow with all his force on the fore-
head, causing a large wound and great loss of blood. He
had been heard by a neighbour to say that he had come from
Whitechapel to kill him. He tried to escape, but was pur-
sued and capturCd• His (prosecutor's) wife previous to his
making off had wrested the iron from him. He had been
attended by a surgeon.
_ _

The prisoner said he did not take the iron with him. Hs
took it out of his brother's wife's hand.
Prosecutor denied this. He had witnesses to prove that
it had been seen at his house in Whitechapel.
Heinrich Kenester, of s,:Market-street,iNewport-market,
proved seeing the prisoner talking to his brother, with his
hand behind his back, and suddenly saw him raise it, and
with the piece of iron strike him on the head.
Mr. Beadon said he should require the surgeon who was
called in, and the witness who had heard him threaten to
kill his brother, as it was a very serious case.
Remanded.

BRADFORD.

Mr. Titus Salt, of Methley-park, having accepted
an invitation to stand as a candidate for the repre-
sentation of Bradford in the place of Gen. Thomp-
son, who retires, has issued an address to the
electors.
Mr. Alfred Harris, banker, has been. solicited by
the heads of the Conservative party in Bradford to
offer himself as a candidate. He declined to stand
in the first instance, but a requisition is in course
of signature with the view, if possible, of inducing
him to reconsider his determination. Some of the
Liberals appear still to have a strong desire to bring
out Mr. E. Miall, but it is asserted that he will not
come forward. At any rate, the only candidates
yet in the field are Mr. Wickham (the present
member) and Mr. Salt, and the probabilities of a
contest are not much, if at all, stronger than they
were at the close of the week.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 12, 1859,

DISSOLUTION OF' PARLIAMENT.

Lord PALMERSTON asked the hon. gentleman the
Chancellor of the Exchequi 3r. for some further information
relative to his promise, d statement on the present
relations of the coon: try. with foreign powers ?
He also wished to be • informed clearly the
time when the dissolution of P 'arliament would take place,
and whether it would be on t he day of the prorogation.
(Hear, hear.)
The CHANCELLOR of t he EXCHEQUER said—l
propose to make the statemex tt alluded to in reference to
foreign affairs on Friday, whit h I think would be the day
most convenient to the Government. As regards the
question of dissolution, it was never intended
by the Government that a ny considerable time should
elapse between the dissolutiot i and the prorogation. of Par-
liament. The prorogation N could in all probability take
place on Tuesday next weel :, and the dissolution would
follow as soon afterwards as p ossible.
Sir G. GREY asked the right hon. gentleman not to
be so problematical in his inf ormation, but to give the house
an explicit reply. He wished to know whether, assuming
that the prorogation took place on the Tuesday, the disso-
lution would follow on the next Friday ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—There is
no wish on the part of the Government to prevent the dis-
solution taking place as soon as possible. There is no
occasion, that I can see, for the heat which the right
hon. gentleman (Sir G. Grey) has exhibited. (Laughter,
and " oh, oh 1") I repeat the word, which I con-
sider quite appropriate. I can only again state that
the dissolution will take plat e as soon as possible after the
prorogation. No one in my position should be called on to
make a statement as to a specific day on which a dissolu-
tion should take place, for it would impose on him an undue
responsibility. (Hear, hear.)

CITY ELECTIOY.

Between eleven and twelve o'clock to-day, about
150 gentlemen met to receive the report of the
progress made with the requisition inviting Lord
Sttinley and Mr. T. Baring to stand for the City.
COLERIDGE KENNARD, Esq., having been called
to the chair, stated that the signatures to the requi-
sition, and the promises of support, were of a
highly gratifying nature—the respective numbers
of the former being, for Lord Stanley, 2,023 ; and
for Mr. Baring, 1,950 ; and he had no doubt that
if the signatures progressed in an equal ratio
success would be certain.

Mr. G. F. YOUNG urged on the meeting the
expediency of not confining themselves to a
struggle of a strktly Conservative character, but
to solicit the support of all electors who can appre-
ciate the merits of a rising statesman, " the future
Prime Minister of England," and thee honest worth
of the " foremost Merchant Prince of the World."
The proceedings shortly afterwards terminated.

which appeared in a contemporary relative to an expected
visit to London by Lord Cowley is altogether without

to the occasion, and they had acted regardless of
the effect a dissolution might have upon negocia-

who had seen their just and natural expectations
utterly disregarded in the measure lately under

SOUTH WARD,

Last evening a very numerously att ended meet-
ing of the electors and nc an-electors of t his borough
took place at the Hote 1, LondOn-brid ige, for the
purpose of hearing the si tatement of Mr. Locke, one
of the present members I br the borough..
Shortly after seven o'clock Mr. Lo gke, accom-
panied by several gentle men, entered the• room, and
was greeted with enthusiastic cheering.
Dr. Challice was then called to the chriir, and
Mr. LOCKE, in the course of a very I engthened
address,-made reference to the late meas `ure of re-
form brought in by the Ministry, and. o f
,the igno-
minious defeat it suffered. He had objet ted to that
bill on the first night of its introductic m, on the
ground that it disfranchised a large body of the
working classes, and because he knew that it would
be most distasteful to the constituencies of all large
boroughs. He considered, instead of the Ministry
dissolving the house, it would have been much more
graceful to have not only withdrawn the bill, but
to have resigned their places—(cheers)---h ow long
they might, however, keep them after the, return
of the new Parliament he (Mr. Locke) would leave
them to say. (Laughter.)
Mr. PUTLEY then moved a resolution expressing
satisfactiot at- the Parliamentary conduct of Mr.
Locke, and pledging to use every endeavour 'to again
return him.

The resolution was seconded by Mr. RED GRAVE,
and carried amid great applause.
The friends of Mr. Apsley Pellatt also had a
meeting last night, at which a resolution in his
favour was agreed to.

STOKE-UPON-TRENT.

A numerous and influential meeting of the
electors was held yesterday at Stoke-upon-Trent,
when it was determined by the friends of Alder-
man Copeland to again put him in nomination for
that borough, and a requisition to that effect was
so numerously and respectably signed that little
doubt exists that he will be again returned.

SIR JAMES GRAHAM ON THE APPRO
PRIATION CLA USE.

FROM A CORRESPONDENT.]
A passage in the elaborate invective of Sir
James Graham against Mr. Disraeli has caused
particular remarks, The slippery,baronet has long
been noted for the workmanlike dexterity with
which he composes his Parliamentary speeches, and
that he takes great pains in getting them up is
obvious. He told Mr. Disraeli, in the debate last
week, his opinion of the right hon. gentleman,
that "he was the Red Indian of debate, and that
he had scalped his way to power by, the use of the
tomahawk," and the whole passage was evidently
suggested by the close of the characterisation of
the late Mr. Wilson Croker, in Maddyn's Chiefs
of Patties :—" Mr. Croker was a Red Indian in
critical literature, and his memory is buried under
a pyramid of scalps," &c. Recollecting the veno-
mous attacks made on the late Chancellor of the
Exchequer for some alleged similarity between an
isolated passage in his speech on the Duke of
*Wellington and expressions of Monsieur Thiers, it
would have been as well for Sir James Graham to
hate avoided applying the same form of expression
to Mr. Disraeli which had recently been used upon
Mr. Croker. Other points also in the invective of
Sir J. Graham were not his own. His speech had
a certain amount of effect; but it was mainly owing
to its skilful delivery, for no public man excels Sir
James Graham in the method of giving poignancy
to second-hand sarcasm by the power of a highly-
artificial delivery. His affectation of candid criti-
cism, when studiously damaging an adversary, is
becoming as much a piece of formal mannerism
with him, as Lord John Russell's incurable pro-
pensity to illustrate his sentiments by references to
Lord Somers, Mr. Burke, and Mr. Fox.

ILFOIiD PETTY SESSIONS.

THE LATE EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY OF L 400.—
George Hickinbotham, a respectable-looking youth, de-
scribed as a labourer, was charged with being concerned
with others not in custody in stealing a cash-box, contain-
ing £4OO in notes and gold, some silver spoons, and the
probate of a will, the property of a lady named Sutton.
The facts of the case have been recently before the
public, and it appeared that the prosecutrix had for safety
lodged the cash-box with her mother, an old lady named
Martindale, above one hundred years of age, who resided
in Plaistow Broadway with her two daughters, both on the
shady side of sixty. The robbery was effected bysome person
disguised as a female, and three witnesses swore that the
prisoner entered the house at half-past five and was seen to
leave it at half-past six, during which period the robbery

was effected.
Mr. Beard attended for the proscution, and Mr. Solomon
for the prisoner.
Miss Martindale, who is very much afflicted, was brought
to the court in a cab, and deposed that she was in the room
upon the evening of a certain day, when a figure attired in
a gown and shawl entered the room, and after going to the
drawer quietly departed, shutting the door. Witness tried
to open it, but finding that it was held on the other side,
sat down until her sister came in.
The other daughter said that she found a shawl and
gown in the passage which had before been safe in her
room, from which she missed 1.45 lls.
Mr. Beard stated that one of the notes deposed to have
been in the cash-box, and numbered 20,148 had been paid
by the Bank of England on the 28th of May, or one week
after the robbery.

Mrs. Sutton said the prisoner was her nephew. She had
suffered on two previous occasions from the visits of
thieves, and had entrusted the box to her mother for safety.
Prisoner's landlady proved that he did not sleep at home
on the night of the robbe
Mr. Solomon called two witnesses to prove that prisoner
was at a certain place on the morning of the robbery, from
one to eight.
Mr. Beard applied for another remand, which was
granted, bail being again refused.

It has been rumoured that the Peninsular and
Oriental Company have been solicited by the Greek mer-
chants of this country to re-establish their line of steamers
to Constantinople, that those merchants have guaranteed
to send a large number of tons of goods by such a line
annually and that the company have favourably entertained
the solicitation.

BAKERS' SHORT-TIME MO VEMENT.

On Saturday evening last a crowded public
meeting was held at the Literary Institution,
Royal-hill, Greenwich, for the purpose of explain-
ing the principles and objects of the Bakers' Short-
time Association, for limiting the hours of labour,
and for the abolition of nightwork. About 200
members of the metropolitan branches of the asso-
ciation—from the West-end, City, Kingsland-road,
Stepney, &c., arrived in vans, coaches, and other
vehicles, and proceeded to the meeting, accom-
panied by the band, composed of workmen from
the factory of Messrs. Penn, engineers, who volun-
teered their services on the occasion.
The chair was occupied by Mr. G. BENNETT,
of Blackheath, who observed, that he fully co-
incided with the objects of the meeting, and
believed that the journeymen bakers through-
out the kingdom might be relieved from their
present excessive toil without injury or incon-
venience to the public. It was a great social
movement, which he felt certain would succeed, as
it would be promoted by every true philanthropist
and Christian.

Mr. BLAKEMORE proposed the following resolu-
tion :—" That this meeting being deeply sensible
of the evils resulting from the present system of
conducting the baking trade of the metropolis and
its suburbs, consider that the abolition of night-
work, and the limitation of the period of labour for
journeymen to 12 hours per day, is imperatively
necessary for their physical recreation, and mental,
moral, and social improvement." He referred to
the evils which the present system of
night-
work entailed upon the men, who were de-
prived of those social and domestic comforts
enjoyed by the rest of the community, and who
were altogether shut out from the means of culti-
vating their intellectual capabilities by becoming
members of literary institutions, &c. They had
been truly described as the " white slaves of Lon-
don," but if they were true to themselves, they
would be enabled to obtain the sympathy and co-
operation of the public, and shake off those tram-
mels which crushed them both physically and men-
tally.
Mr. NAUGHTON seconded the resolution, and
observed that, considering the hours of labour, the
journeymen bakers were about the worst paid class
of men in the metropolis.
The resolution was supported by an address from
Mr. ROBERTS, and unanimously adopted, as were
others in support of the objects of the meeting.
A vote of thanks to the Chairman closed the
proceedings.

STRAND.

The revival of the grand extravaganza of ,g Kenilworth"
has proved eminently successful. The principal Parts are
all well sustained. Mrs. Selby is as great as ever in her
personation of the portly and pompous Queen Elizabeth;
and Miss M. Oliver, Miss Charlotte Saunders, Miss Marie
Wilton, Miss Ida Wilton, and Miss Lavine, present
strong array of feminine talent. The neat piece of," Whicha
of the Two ?" and the outrageous drollery of " Caught by
the Ears," in which Mr. J. Rogers is so extravagantly
funny, still continue very attractive.

ASTLEY'S.
Mr. Cooke, ever on the search for new attraction for his
patrons, and determined that this popular and favourite
place of amusement shall continue, as it always has been,
to be the first of its kind in the metropolis, has revived that
never-dying. and ever-attractive spectacle of " The Battle
of Waterloo." The present aspect of continental affairs has,
no doubt, suggested the idea of this warlike revival : though
the cause is of little consequence, the subject itself is ever
new and always attractive. Those who remember what the.
Battle of Waterloo was at this house, in the days when
the Duke himself used to go and see it, will have all
their old memories revived, the Prussian bivouac, French
outposts, the reviesw of the British troops, and the battle-
field of Ligny, all rise up again, and are reproduced
with all their original truth and vigour. The episodes
of Fedora, of the Highlander and his sweetheart, who
follows him, as a soldier, and whom he finds afterwardi on
the field of Quatre Bras, with the scenes with Napoleon
and the British soldier, in fact all the incidents that made
this piece so successful in what we may call the last gene-
ration, are brought back to us again after so long a slumber-
ing. Mr. J. Holloway deserves praise, for his careful play-
ing of the part of Napoleon; so also may we say of all the
characters, though if any special distinction is drawn, it
must be in favour of Mr. Herbert, as Molly Malony. The
drama, from first to last, was eminently successful. The
Scenes in the Circle that followed, were of the usual order
of excellence to be found at this house, in which those in-
comparable artistes, Henry Cooke, William Cooke, jun.,
Miss Emily Cooke, and Miss Francesco took part. Ano-
ther version of Mr. Stirling's farce, called " The Volun-
teers ; or, the Ladies' Rifle Club," concluded the entertain-
ments.
