MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—William Duffell, a
bootcloser, residing in Camomile-street, City, was charged
with the following unprovoked assault on a female :
Ellen Ford, of 3, Chart's-buildings, St. Martin's-lane,
whose eye bore evident proof of the brutal manner in which
sho had been assaulted, said that about 12 o'clock the pre-
vious night she was standing at the corner of Cranbourne-
street waiting for a friend, when the prisoner came up in a
ruffianly way and made use of very vile language. Not
wishing to have anything to say to him she told him to go
away, when he made use of a disgusting expression and
immediately struck her a violent blow in the face, causing
her oye to be blackened as it then appeared.
The prisoner, in a very impudent manner, asked the com-
plainant how she got her living
The complainant said she lived with her mother, a laun-
dress. The prisoner had asked her to forgive him, but how
could she with such an eye.

Robert Harris, of Castle-street, said he had left the
complainant but a few moments, and on coming up he heard
the prisoner abuse the complainant in a disgraceful manner,
and on her expostulating with him he struck her in the eye.
After a struggle and a chase ho was secured and given into
custody.
The prisoner, in reply, asked the last witness whether
that was all that took place, but gained very little by his
question, as the witness said he also struck him on the
mouth.

Mr. Beadon said if the last witness had given the prisoner
a good thrashing he should have said he well deserved it
for giving the female such an eye as she then had. It was
a brutal assault.
Fined a or two months.

ATROCIOUS ASSAULT ON A POLICE CONSTABLE.-40hEt
Clancy, a melancholy-looking young man, who said he was
in the employ of the Trinity House Corporation on the
river, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with com-
mitting a cowardly and violent assault on Henry Marsh, a
police-constable, No. 269 K.

' - The policeman, who had sustained considerable injury,
said he was on duty in Collingwood-strcet, Ratcliff, last
night, and saw the prisoner and two other men approach-
ing. He suspected no harm, and was about passing the
three men, when the prisoner suddenly and without
provocation struck him a heavy blow with his clenched
fist, and knocked him down. He seized the ririsoner,
and had a severe scuffle with him upon the ground.
on which the other men attempted to rescue the prisoner,
and tore the hair from his head. Several handsful of hair
were dragged from his head. He called out "murder,"
and another policeman came to his assistance. The pri-
soner then ran away in the direction of the Commercial-
road, and his companions towards Brook-street. Another
constable stopped the prisoner and took him into custody.
In answer to Mr. Yardley, the complainant said the
prisoner never spoke a word when he knocked him down.
The prisoner said the charge against him was all false.
He called no witness, and the charge being fully sustained,
Mr Yardley said the assault was cowardly and un-
provoked. He sentenced the prisoner to fourteen days'
imprisonment.

THE LAW RELATING TO BEERHOUSES.

Mr. NICbLi, ;;Zfif;lTnderSecretary of State for the
Home Department if it was the intention of Government to
bring in a bill before Easter to amend the law in respect to
beerhouses and places of public entertainment.
Mr. HARDY said it was intended to introduce such a
bill, but not at present.
THE BATTLE OF CALPEE.

General BUCKLEY asked the Secretary of State for
India whether Sir Hugh Rose, in his despatch relative to
the battle of Calpee, had made particular mention of the
gallant conduct of the camel corps on that occasion, and
whether a clasp would be given for that action?
Lord STANLEY said that the despatch alluded to had
not reached this country, having been lost in India ; but
he had written to obtain a duplicate. No such clasp as
that mentioned by the gallant gentleman would be distri-
buted.
OFFICERS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN.
Major STUART KNOX asked the Secretary for War
the reason why officers in the Mediterranean were not en-
titled to the same accommodation (in the way of quarters
or allowance for the same) as officers in the United King-
dom ; and whether it was his intention to remedy the pre-
sent state of things ?
General PEEL said the officers in question were entitled
to the benefits specified.

STRAND THEATRE.

"Matrimonial Prospectuses" has been revived at this
house for the purpose of affording Miss Charlotte Saunders
an opportunity for the display of a talent which is as pecu-
liar as it is original. From a mere shadow she creates a
living picture, and the elaboration with which she works
out the character is remarkably striking from its truth to
nature. Giggles, the uncouth, shrewd servant girl is before
the audience, and not the actress. Every motion and every
gesticulation are suggestive of a peculiar idiosyncracy, and
the broad grin, the continual rubbing of the arms, the
angular movement, and the entire deportment, are veritable
photographs from life. Yet no vulgarity is infused into
the character, and the audience can only admire the con-
summate tact of an artist who can impart a reality and an
intention to the most commonplace and conventional farce
personage. A song, something after the style of " Villikins
and his Dinah," elicited an unanimous encore, and indeed
Miss Saunders' talent rendered amusing a piece for which
the author had done little either by ingenuity of construc-
tion or smartness of dialogue.

At an interview, on Friday last, with the Prince
Regent of Prussia,- Lord Raglan presented to his royal
highness autograph letters from her Britannic Majesty and

SHEFFIELD.

Yesterday afternoon a public meeting was held
at Sheffield, to take into consideration the Reform
Bill introduced by Government. The-meeting was
convened by the • Mayor, who presided. It was
held in Paradise-square, and about 2,000 persons
were present. Mr. W. Fisher moved the first reso-
lution, to the effect that in the opinion of the meet-
ing the Reform Bill proposed by her Majesty's
Government is not calculated to remedy.the defects
of our representative system, but would rather
multiply and aggravate them ; that it would de-
prive of their votes many thousands of independent
freeholders, would enfranchise, without the pro-
tection of the ballot, a class of persons peculiarly
liable to the control of landowners ; that it would
afford increased facilities for corruption and
intimi-
dation by offering to all electors the option of giving
their votes by means of papers transmitted through
the post ; and that by dissevering the ancient con-
nexion of boroughs with their respective counties,
it would foster jealousies much to be deprecated
between the people of the country and those of the
towns; that the bill contains no provisions to dis-
franchise small and dependent boroughs, to grant
the protection of the ballot to voters, to extend the
franchise to the skilled, thriving, and orderly
artisans of our boroughs, and to give increased
power in our parliamentary system to the great
mercantile and manufacturing communities; that
these errors and deficiencies render it utterly un-
suited to meet the wants and wishes of the people
of this country. Mr. Isaac Scholefield seconded
the motion. Ho maid that ho had had a forlorn

hope that the Government mig ht—on the score of
policy, not of principle—bring forward a measuve
of reform which would prove acceptable ; but he
'must confess that the present bill had in almost
every partimlar, so far as he could undersand it,
completely frustrated whatevr r hopes he might
have entertained. Mr. G. L. ; Saunders supported
tke motion in a practical speec' ; and having been
put to the meeting, it was c arried unanimously.
A petition to Parliament embodying the terms of
the resolution, was also adopte d.

COLONIAL.

TEA.—The market continues very •firm, although little
business has been transacted. Common Congou is quoted
131 d. to 131 d. per lb.
SUGAIL.—Few inquiries have been made, but in most
instances previous rates are current. In the refined mar-
ket, however, a steady business has been done, chiefly for
home consumption, and prices are steadily maintained.
COFFEE—Plantation Ceylon continues in active demand,
and a rather large business has been transacted at full
rates. Stocks on board, compared with those at the same
period of last year, show a deficiency of 300 tons.
RicE.—The inquiries continue very limited, and little
alteration can be quoted in values.

RUM.—The market is dull, no dealings of any importance
having been reported. .

SniTPETRE.—At public sales only a portion of the quan-
tity offered found buyers, and prices were not quite so buoy-
ant. 8k per cent. refraction sold for 40s 9d, and si per cent.
41s 6d per cwt.
WooL.—The public sales of foreign and colonkl wool are
proceeding with rather more animation, owing to the favour-
able character of the continental advices, and previous rates
are fully supported.
TALLOW.—Thero has been a very quiet market, and the
demand for consumption has been very inactive. Prices,
consequently, show a downward tendency. P.Y.C. on the
spot 52s to 62s 3d, and April to June and last three months,
52s per cwt.

RAILWAY BRIDGE ACROSS THE THAMES.—The
works of the railway bridge over the Thames at Chelsea,
the only railway bridge across the Thames in London
granted, are in rapid progress. By the time it is con-
structed the Pimlico railway and station will be finished,
and Belgravc-square will be within the sound of the rail-
way whistle, giving its aristocratic inhabitants convenient
railway conveyance to Brighton, Hastings, Portsmouth,
the Crystal Palace, &c.
MORE ANCIENT DISCOVERIES IN OLD FISH-
STREET, CITY.—A 8 some workmen were pulling down a
very old house in Old Fish-street, City, supposed to have
been built in tho reign .of Charles the Second, they dis -
covered a very ancient entrance of a doorway, which the
general appearance of the carved work denotes to have been
a very ancient inn. The carving consists of vine-
leaves and bunches of grapes cut out of solid oak, and in a
high state Ot preservation. The workmen have found also
several coins of the reign of Charles, which are also in good
preservation, but some of which they sold. Maitlimd says
that several houses near this spot were built of timber, in a
very substantial and beautiful manner. No doubt other
interesting relics may be found when they reach the foun-
dation.

SECOND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NERVOUS
FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special
perusal of all who are suffering from the various forms of
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress-
ing ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical
Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO-
GALVANISM in the treatment of these Disorders, by infus-
ing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated
from various enervating causes. Illustrated with Cases com-
piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi-
tioner of twenty years' standing.
Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which
commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with
the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious
indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and
Nervous energies are identical; hence, that when the latter
fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre-
gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili-
tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a
condition little short of total prostration, then by the action
of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical
treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta-
blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of

CHELSEA.

Last evening a public meeting was held at the
Oakley Rooms, Manor-street, Chelsea, to consider
the steps necessary to be taken to press on the
Government the claims of Chelsea to enfranchise-
ment, their present Reform Bill omitting all men-
tion of that district.

The chair was taken by Mr. T. M'CULLAGH,
who, in opening the, proceedings, stated the object
of the meeting, and observed that they must either
abandon their claims or adopt. measures to press
their claims on Parliament while yet there was
time. After alluding to their good fortune in
having on the platform their two valuable county
members, Mr. Byng and Mr. Hanbury, he con-
cluded by saying that the resolutions which would
be submitted to them were so moderate that they
commended themselves to their recommendation.
Mr. ARCIIBUTT moved the first resolution :
" That in the opinion of this meeting► the Govern-
ment Reform Bill now before the House of Com-
mons, without on this occasion entering into any
other grounds of objection, is defective, on the dis-
tinct ground that it proposes to enfranchise many
places far inferior in all respects to Chelsea, and yet
leaves Chelsea as at present virtually unrepresented ;
and this meeting does not consider that the division
of Middlesex into two districts (of one of which
Chelsea forms part) and the giving two members to
each district, thereby increasing the county
representation, even though accompanied by the
lowering of the county franchise to the same basis
as that of the boroughs, is by any means an adequate
or satisfactory compensation for withholding dis-
tinct representatives from Chelsea."
This resolution having been seconded by Mr
RABBITS,

Mr. R. HANBURY, jun., M.P., addressed the
meeting. He said that, looking at the wealth,
population, and intelligence of Chelsea, he candidly
confessed that he thought it ought to be represented,
and they might trust in his doing his utmost to
further their claims in his place in Parliament.
Mr. BARTLETT then moved an amendment, to
the effect that the enfranchisement of Chelsea as
proposed would not be attended with any national
and local advantages, which could only be attained
by the institution of equal electoral districts.
The amendment was seconded and supported by
two working men, and then negatived by a very
large majority, after which the original resolution
was carried unanimously.
It was next agreed that a communication on the
enfranchisement of Chelsea should be addressed to
the House of Commons, and the committee be em-
powered to wait on 'the Government on the subject.
The Hon. Mr. BYNG, M.P., spoke to the meeting
on the first resolution. and expressed a strong
desire to see Chelsea become a metropolitan borough.
After the meeting, a Reform Association was
formed for Cheisca, and upwards of forty names
were at once enrolled,

.R2VOLT OF THE NEAPOLIT.I.Y
REFUGEES.

About seven o'clock on Sunday morning a vessel
under the American flag dropped into Queenstown,
and very soon became an object of much curiosity
and interest when it was discovered that she had
on board the Neapolitan patriot, Count br
Colonel Poerio, with his companions, 690 in
number, including one bishop and seven priests.
They had been permitted to transport themselves
to New York, the Neapolitan Government stipu-
lating to give each of them on arrival at New York
the sum of 130 doll. " to begin life" with anew in
America.

On the arrival of the vessel at Cadiz, outside
the Straits of Gibraltar, the refugees, who greatly
outnumbered the crew, the latter being only 17 in
number, rose in " mutiny," and insisted that the
captain should steer direct for Cork Harbour. To
this request the captain of course gave a flat
refusal, but he was forcibly deprived of the com-
mand of the vessel for the time being, and his
second mate appointed in his place pro tem. Some
of the refugees are noblemen by birth, and. all,
both ecclesiastics and laymen; are fine-looking men.
What their designs are has not yet transpired—
whether they will stay in England, or return to
take service under the Sardinian flag, whose' pro-
tection, doubtless, they will readily obtain.

compelled to decline, owing to his Parliamentary ongar"
ments, but promised, if possible, to visit the town during

THE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the
URETHRA; showing why they so often appear In-
curable, when in reality they might be removed by the most
simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R C.S.E.,

And formerly- Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the

Cure'of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematicmanagement
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—WiniAM Duffel, a
booteloser, residing in Camomile-street, City, was charged
with the following unprovoked assault on a female
:
Ellen Ford, of 3, Chart's-buildings, St. Martin's-lane,
whose eye bore evident proof of the brutal manner in which
she had been assaulted, said that about 12 o'clock the pre-
vious night she was standing at the corner of Cranbourne-
street waiting for a friend, when the prisoner came up in a
ruffianly way and made use of very vile language. Not
wishing to have anything to say to him she told him to go
away, when he made use of a disgusting expression and
immediately struck her a violent blow in the face, causing
her eye to be blackened as it then appeared.
The prisoner, in a very impudent manner, asked the com-
plainant how she got her living ?
The complainant said she lived with her mother, a laun-
dress. The prisoner had asked her to forgive him, but how
could she with such an eye.
Robert Harris, of Castle-street, said he had left the
complainant but afew moments, and on coming up he heard
the prisoner abuse the complainant in a disgraceful manner,
and on her expostulating with him he struck her in the eye.
After a struggle and a chase he was secured and given into
custody.
The prisoner, in reply, asked the last witness whether
that was all that took place, but gained very little by his
question, as the witness said he also struck him on the
mouth.

Mr. Beadon said if the last witness had given the prisoner
a good thrashing he should have said he well deserved it
for giving the female such an eye as she then had. It was
a brutal assault.
Fined .f 6 or two months.

Highway's Bill ; from officials in provincial post-
offices that they might be placed on the same
footing as those engaged in the London post-office ;
for the discontinuance of the opium trade ; for the rejection
of the Government bill on Parliamentary Reform, as being
most unsatisfactory ; from Protestant Dissenters, that they

COLONIAL.

TEA.—The market continues very firm, although little
business has been transacted. Common Congou is quoted
13id. to 131 d. per lb.
SUGAR.—Few inquiries have been made, but in most
instances previous rates are current. In the refined mar-
ket, however, a steady business has been done, chiefly for
home consumption, and prices are steadily maintained.
t CoFFEE—Plantation Ceylon continues in active demand,
and a rather large business has been transacted at full
rates. Stocks on board, compared with those at tha same
period of last year, show a eeficiency of 300 tons.
RICE.—The inquiries continue very limited, and little
alteration can be quoted in values.
Rum.—The market is dull, no dealings of any importance
having been reported.
SALTPETRE.—At public sales only a portion of the quan-
tity offered found buyers, and prices were not quite so buoy-
ant. 8i per cent. refraction sold for 40s 9d, and fli per cent.
41s 6d per cwt.
WooL.—The public sales of foreign and colonial wool are
proceeding with rather more animation, owing to the favour-
able character of the continental advices, and previous rates
are fully supported.
TALLOW.—Thcre has been a very quiet market, and the
demand for consumption has been very inactive. Prices,
consequently, show a downward tendency. P.Y.C. on the
spot 52s to 52s 3d, and April to June and last three months,
52s per cwt.

RAILWAY BRIDGE ACROSS • THE THAMES.—The
works of the railway bridge over the Thames at Chelsea,
the only railway bridge across the Thames in London
granted, are in rapid progress. By the timo it is con-
structed the Pimlico railway and station will be finished,
and Belgrave-square will be within the sound of the rail-
way whistle, giving its aristocratic inhabitants convenient
railway conveyance to Brighton, Hastings; Portsmouth,
the Crystal Palace, &c.
MORE ANCIENT DISCOVERIES IN OLD FISH•
STREET, CITY.—As some workmen were pulling down a
very old house in Old Fish-street, City, supposed to have
been built in the reign of Charles the Second, they dis •
covered a very ancient entrance of a doorway, which the
general appearance of the carved work denotes to have been
a very ancient inn. The carving consists of vine-
leaves and bunches of grapes cut out of solid oak, and in a
high: state of preservation. The workmen have found also
several coins of the reign of Charles, which are also in good
preservation, but some of which they sold. Maitlamd says
that several houses near this spot were built of timber, in a
very substantial and beautiful manner. No doubt other
interesting relics may be found when they mach the foun-
dation,

LAMBETH.

Last evening a very large meeting of the inhabi-
tants of Lambeth was held at Wilcocke's Assembly
Rooms, Westminster-bridge-road, for the purpose
of taking into consideration the question of man•
hood suffrage. J. P. Murrough, Esq., was called
to the chair.

Mr. W. WILLIAMS said if a bill came into the
house in favour of manhood suffrage it should have
his cordial support. (Cheers.) The bill now
brought forward had been erroneonsly called a
Reform Bill, but it was not one at all, and he had
made up his mind to oppose it from beginning to
end. (Cheers.)
Mr. W. ItOUPELL then addressed the assembly,
and said, as he was borne to the hustings on the
shoulders of the working classes, it would be a
dereliction of his duty if he failed to complain
of the bill which excluded them from the fran-
chise. He felt assured that no portion of the
British constitution would suffer from reliance
on the people. He concluded by declaring his
uncompromising advocacy of the. complete en-
franchisement of the working classes of the king-
dom. Both hon. members thn left the meeting to
go the house, amidst loud cheering.
Mr, RNEST JONES moved; " That in the opinion
of this meeting any measure of reform with a less
extension of the franchise than registered manhood
suffrage would be unsatisfactory to the people gene.
rally, and a great injustice to all those who would
be excluded."

Mr. M. CULVERWELL seconded the resolution,
which was carried unanimously amidst tremendous
cheering.
The petition embracing manhood suffrage, ballot,
&c., having been adopted, the, proceedings ter-
minated.
