A Row AT SITILLE 1101,133.--CII2TIOB Preston, A clerk
in the War-office, residing at No. 12, Hereford-road,
Bayswater, I.nsington, Charles Langham, 10, Pem-
broke-square, Kensington, and Sssan Briggs, a young
woman of easy virtue, were charged before Mr. Bingham
with being drunk and riotous at Saville-house, Leicester-
square, and assaulting Mr. Tboinas Wu). O'Keefe, the
proprietor. •

- The prosecutor stated that abort eleven o'clock on the
previous night he was sitting at the end of his room,
when his attention was attracted to the conduct of the
two male defendants. He went
to the spot, and was
told by one of the waiters that they had been treating
the female artiqes with charnOngae, which was
contrary to the rules of the place. fie politely informed
o
them such conduct was not allowed, and seeing
they were the worse for liquor, be desired them to leave
the place. After some dinner they left, but shortly
after returned again, brie is with them the female
prisoner, whom be knew to be an
improper character.
He remonstrated with them upon
such behaviour, and
again requested them to leave. This they positively
declined doing until they had something to drink. He
refused to allow them to be served, ohen the male prisoner
assailed him with a
volley of abuse, and defied him to put
them out. He then called his waiters and tried to get
them out of the room, when longhorn struck him,
and in the struggle that ensued tore his clothes all to
piece's. They were eventually ejected from the pre-
mises, and given into custody, and after he had done
so the woman struck bins a violent blow in the
face. The prisoners must have been aware that such
characters as the female prisoner were not admitted, as a
placard was displayed at the entrance to that effect.
Charles Adams, one of the waiters at the establish-
ment, corroborated the above statement, and said Pres-
ton struck him twice,
The prisoners Preston and Langhera said they dem-
plained to the complainant of the quality of the wine
supplied to them, and because they did so they were
ordered to leave the room. This they refused to do,
when they were hustled from the top to the bottom of
the stairs, and if there was any disturbance it teas all
owing to the complainant and his servants.
Complainant said the prisoners had destroyed pro-
perty to the value of 121.
Mr. Bingham said hegould not award damages over
51, but for this indecent conduct be should fine the male
prisoners 40s. each, and order them in addition to find
one surety each to keep the peace for three months. The

, he should order to pay 205., or ten days.

The suspension of Messrs. W. and H. Brand, in the
American trade, was announced yesterday afternoon.
The amount of their acceptances is stated to be about
140,0001., and they would have been larger, but the
firm have latterly contracted their engagements. With
re.pect to assets nothing definite has transpired, but it
is thought they will be found to represent a fair total.

About 50,000 half imperials
(42,0001.) are expected
immediately from Russia. The exchange at St. Peters.
burg is still as low as 36d., and therefore much larger
sums would be sent but for the obstacles interposed by
Government. The unfavourable state of the exchange
is attributed to various causes, among which are the
large purcbasea of Russian stock made in Germany and
elsewhere since the interest on deposits at St. Peters-
burg has been reduced from 4 to 3 per cent., the pay-
ments for the steamers bought for the Government and
private companies, large imports to replenish the stocks
exhausted during the war, and, lastly, the sums spent
abroad by Russian travellers, including the Imperial
family.
