this assault as a cowardly and unprovoked
one ; but whatever might be the view taken of the
prosecutor's conduct in protecting, as he said, an u n •

upon society. The learned counsel animadverted

conduct as regarded Mrs. M'Gregor, said he had
undoubtedly seduced her, the Divorce Court had
decided that she had been an adulteress with one,
1
if not more than one, and he concluded a very able
speech with-
- "0, heaven that such companions thou'dst unfold ;
And put in every moral (honest) hand a wh),
To lash the rascal naked through the world.
The Assistant-Judge then summed up, and told
the jury that whatever might have transpired in the
Divorce Court must not be taken into consideration
by them in deciding this case, however unhappy
and afflicting the story might be. It was a sad one,
1 but the simple question was, did the defendant as •
sault the prosecutor or not. If the jury believed
the evidence, that of the prosecutor being corrobo-
rated by the porter of the club, they would find him
zuilty, without considering the consequences—that
was the province of the court. Painful disclosures
took place in the court named, but this was a cri-
minal case, and if it rested alone upon the evidence
of the prosecutor, without corroboration, it might
have been a question how far the jury could rely
upon it, but his statement was borne out by the
porter, and unless they disbelieved it altogether
they must find the defendant guilty. If the prose-
cutor was not a witness at all, the evidence of the
porter proved an assault, and if he was believed,
the jury must convict the defendant ; the rest would
be for the consideration of the Court. The other
circumstances brought out in the case would have
nothing to do with the verdict, the jury would de-
cide upon the facts, and the Court would deal with
the law.

The jury considered, and found the defendant
guilty of a common assault, " under circumstances
of extreme provocation."
The Assistant-Judge said an assault bad been
committed no doubt, and he agreed with the jury
in their decision. The Court, however, did not
think it a case for punishment, and the defendant
would only be'required to enter into his own recog-
nisance of £lOO to keep the peace for one year, and
to appear for judgment when the Court should re-
quire him to do so.
The sentence was received with applause in the
Court, which, however, was soon suppressed.
The defendant entered into the recognisance, and
left with his friends.

Charles Gabriel Afred Barnes, formerly an officer
in the 2d Dragoon Guards, Queen's Bays, of Belle
Vue, Nottinghill, was indicted for assaulting Mr.
Rice, a solicitor, at Cremorne-gardens, on the night
of the Derby-day. He pleaded guilty of a common
assimalt.

Mr. Sleigh, for the defendant, said his client did
not for a moment wish to contest the charge of
assault, on the contrary, he not only pleaded guilty
to it, but was sorry for what he had done, and had
written a letter of apology to the prosecutor. It
was a letter worthy of a gentleman who felt that
he had done a wrong act. (It was read.) This
occurred on the Derby day, at Cremorne, where
the defendant was, with some friends who bad been

to the race, and they were not quite so sober then
as when they started. Near the refreshment place
there was a crowd of persons, and the prosecutor,
who was standing there, had his pipe knocked out
of his mouth.

The Assistant-Judge asked if any injury had
been done to the prosecutor.
Mr. Metcalfe, who, with Mr. Orridge, was for
the prosecution, said they must press for punish-
ment, as Mr. Rice had been outrageously treated
and injured.
_ _ _

The-Assistant-Judge said it was out of the ques-
tion to think that a person in Mr. Rice's po3ition
would think of compensation in such a matter.
Persons frequenting such places of amusement as
Cremorne must not be subjected to such outrages as
these. The defendant had committed a violent

and unprovoked assault, which no doubt he and
his friends with him, who had been drinking at
the races, thought a very clever " lark." The Court

did not think, however, that it was a case in which

. .
it was necessary to send the defendant to prison
but. that the infliction of a fine would suffice. Th

defendant must be fined £25, and be imprisonea
until it was paid.

The fine was paid by the defendant's father, it
was understood, and he left the court.

THE PRINCE OF WALES AT THE

cuRR

One of the grandest military displays that has
aken place in Ireland for a long period was pre-
sented at the camp of the Curragh, on Wednesday,
in the presence of his Royal Highness the Prince
of Wales, the Commander of the Forces, and one of
the largest assemblages of citizens from Dublin,
and persons from all parts of the surrounding
country, ever collected on the splendid plains of
Kildare. The martial spectacle was a grand affair,
and in every way calculated (says the Freeman's
Jourtsal), to impress his Royal Highness with the
belief that in the three kingdoms a place could not
be found better suited for the exQrcises. of large
bodies of troops than the Curragh. From an early
hour the whole encampment was full of life and
bustle, and the troops quartered in the huts and
those under canvas were busy making all due pre-
paration for the event. His Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales left his quarters at half-past ten
o'clock. He wore the uniform of a colonel of the staff,
and was mounted on a splendid bay charger, which
he rode and managed with much ease and address.
He was warmly cheered by the people as he passed
along to join the Commander of the Forces, who
had arrived by the special train. His Royal High-
ness was attended by Major-General Bruce and
Colonel Keppel. The Commander of the Forces,
who was accompanied by a brilliant staff, was
warmly received by the Prince. At eleven o'clo ck
his Royal Highness, accompanied by Sir George
Brown, inspected the entire line of troops, and in a
short time afterwards aides-de-camp were to be
seen charging to the right and left to give the
orders of Sir George to the general officers com-
manding the several divisions. The infantry was
divided into three brigades—the first was com-
manded by the Hon. Colonel Percy, the second by
Major-General Haliday, and the third by Major-
General Shirley. The first brigade consisted of
the Grenadier Guards and the 36th Regiment ; the
second of the 11th, 17th, and 86th ; and the third
of the 15th, 96th, and Rifle Brigade. The cavalry
brigade, consisting of the Ist Royal Dragoons, the
11th Hussars, 14th Light Dragoons, and the 15th
Hussars were under the command of Lieut.-Colonel
Wardlaw, of the Ist Royal Dragoons, who acted
in consequence of the illness of Major-General
Parlby. The grand event of the day was the
charge of the light cavalry in front of the line of
infantry, and which was splendidly executed. His
Royal Highness and the Commander of the Forces
accompanied the cavalry through all their
evolu-
tions. Crowds of ladies and gentlemen surrounded__r
the place occupied by his Royal Highness, Sir
George Brown, and the brilliant array of general
officers and the staff. The troops having marched
to their respective quarters, his Royal Highness
rode off with Sir G. Brown and theofficerrt

on board, as well as with the excellence of the pas-

weather, was a very rapid one. His Royal High-

Canning and Peel were alike in their• shrinking
from all implication with the scandal of the Queen's trial ;
and they were the most prominent members exf the Liver-
pool Cabinet during its latest period. No doubt Can-
ning's mind wrought upon Peel's, both. in regard
to foreign politics and Catholic emancipation, though
they were regarded as leaders of the two sections
of the Cabinet. Their common horror of P:lrliamentary
reform was a strong bond between them ; and P',eel was cer-
tainly coming round to the conviction that the C utholic disa-
bilities could not be maintained. When Uanning
be-
came Premier, in 1827, he lamented that; he must
lose Peel as a colleague, on account; of the
Irish question. On that occasion he declared that
Peel was the only man who behaved well tc' him in his
hour of difficulty, and that he regarded Peel as :his political
heir and successor. As Canning's difficulties ant 1 popularity
at that time were caused by his reputed Libt ralism, the
declaration must have been abundantly star ding to the
patrons of the young Peel twenty years befoz e.—Once a
