means of compressed air, was made on Monday, on the
Versailles Railroad (left bank), in the presence of
Messrs. Bineau and Baude, Commissioners appointed by
the Government, of the engineers of the railroad, and a
treat number of spectators. Although the locomotive
;las charged upon the low pressure system, because
her charged
was not a sufficient power to compress the air to a
treater extent, the experiment perfectly succeeded. In

The—foundation-stone of the monument to he erects
on Pensher-hill, in the county of Durtnirn, to the memory
of the late Earl of Durham, was laid, on Wedne3day,
with masonic honours, amidst an immense concourse of

This morning, shortly before two o'clock, a most de-
structive fire broke out in the extensive buildings be-
longing to the Dover and Brighton Railways, at their
joint station, New-cross, which destroyed a long range
of sheds and several carriages.
At an inquest held before Arr. Carter, several of the
parties who had been summoned to appear before him
as jurymen were very late in their attendance, or failed
altogether to serve or account for their absence. The
Coroner told the constable that the law was now in
operation, and he should most certainly avail himself of
the power placed in his :hands, of fining the absentees
40s. if the persons summoned on a jury failed to appear.

BOW•STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A rather decently dressed woman, who gave her name
as Anne Cleary, was charged with knocking down an oil-
painting, the property of Mr. Samuel Hart, a picture-
dealer, in Great Wild•street.
The prosecutor stated that the prisoner, yesterday
afternoon, came deliberately up to his shop-window, and
knocked down a picture of Faith, Hope, and Charity,
that was hanging there. She did this without saying a
word, and he told her to go away, and she did so, but
came bask a short time afterward+, and fastened a piece
of paper on the picture, upon which was written, " Take
this picture down."

Mr. TWYFORD inquired if the figures in the picture
were represented naked? Mr. Hart said the picture
was a female and her little children, which were naked.
.._.

The prisoner, in her defence, said the picture was an
indelicate one.

Mr. TWYFOAD did not think she had a good taste.
The prisoner again said that the picture had offended
her sense of delicacy. She would,
_however, take no
notice of such a thing in future.
Mr. TWYFORD said that was a very good resolve, for
if she took notice of such things she would have nothing
else to do.

Mr. Hart said if the prisoner would promise not to go
near his shop again, he would not press the charge.
The prisoner gave the required promise, and was dis-
charged.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
James Waller was charged with wounding John
Mathews. It appeared from the evidence that on the
evening of the 6th ult. the prisoner, prosecutor, and se-
veral other men of their trade (bricklayers) were drink-
ing together at a beer-shop in Compton-street, Clerken-
wellaMathews was standing outside the door in conver-
sation with a man named Doyle, when the prisoner
came over, and in insulting language reproached
the prosecutor with having done him an injury some
time before ; the latter replied warmly, whereupon
Waller seised him by the collar and threw him in the
kennel, and kicked him whilst lying on the ground
until he was insensible, when it was found that his
right thigh bone had been fractured.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial.

UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
Six young men in the garb of mechanics were charged
with creating a disturbance in the Surrey Theatre.
The defendants went into the gallery, and had not
been there long before they commenced making such a
noise as to interrupt the peformance, ac on the appear-
ance of each actor they called out, " Off, off." The
policeman on duty in the theatre went up to try and
prevent such an interruption ; and in his endeavours he
was attacked by four of the parties, and very ill used,
as also were some other persons who went to his assist-
ance.

Mr. TRAILL inflicted fines of 40s. each on the chief
aggressors, and made the others enter into their recog-
nisances to keep the peace.

TATTERS ALL'S—YESTERDAY.
So determined a set was made against Ithuriel, that at
one time it appeared " all up" with him. sto 1 was then
laid to between four and five hundred pounds, and the
takers, for a moment, were choked off ; 6 to 1 was than
laid to upwards of 1001., but the layer refusing to go on,
confidence was partially restored, and two or three other
bets were booked at sto 1. Nothing less, we believe,
was taken. The effect of this movement was to give
most of the other favourites a lift, and more particularly
Red Deer, Valerian, and Foig-a-ballagh ; the betting,
however, irrespective of Ithuriel, was far from brisk.
