POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7711S DAV.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A DETERMINED WOULD-BE SUICIDE.—Hedwig
Hoffman, a young woman, was charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt with attempting to commit suicide.
Police-constable Wilson, 407 A, said that seeing
a crowd of persons standing near the Serpentine he
went up '.o ascertain the cause, when he found that
the prisoner, who was standing against the railings,
and whose clothes were saturated with water, had
thrown herself into the Serpentine. He asked
her why she had thrown herself into the
water, and she replied, "To commit suicide."
He took her to the recciving-house, and afterwards
to the workhouse, when she was supplied with fresh
clothing, and then to the station-house ; and while
on the way there she said that if she got off that
time she would go to the Thames and destroy her-
self. He had made inquiries respecting the pri-
soner, and ascertained that she hal been in the
asylum at Hayward Heath for nine months, and
then discharged.

Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner, that the
state of her mind might be ascertained.

THAMES.

CRUELTY TO A DONKEY.—James Holmes, of Gill-
street, Limehouse, appeared before Mr. Benson to
answer a charge of cruelty to a donkey.
The charge was preferred by Joseph Dobie, an
officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, and in support of his case he
called Mary Ann Stevens, of Moor's- cDttages, Bow-
common, who was coming along Devon's-road,
Bromley, on the 10th of July, at six in the evening,
with a fast-trotting and valuable donkey, when the
defendant, who was armed with a thick and heavy
board, struck the donkey a tremendous blow
across its back, which made the poor
animal fall almost on its knees. He then made a
second blow at the donkey with the board, which
the witness Stevens warded off with a sickle. The
donkey was disabled for a week—it went off its
feed and ate nothing for six days, and was very pe-
culiarly affected. _ _

Mr. James Broad, veterinary surgeon, on b,half
of the Royal Society, said that the heavy blow in-
flicted on the donkey caused temporary paralysis to
set in.

Dobie said the defendant struck the donkey, and
endeavoured to make it valueless because the owner
of it refused to sell it to him.

Mr. Benson said the defendant had been guilty
of great cruelty, and find him 10s. and 44. costs,
which he paid.

WILD,SPORTS OF THE EAST.—Thomas Ward, a
tall powerful fellow, was brought before Mr. Ben-
son, charged with violently assaulting James llall,
115 H.

The prisoner had been severely beaten by the
policeman, who admitted that he had used his trun-
cheon freely, and if he had not, he should have
been killed. lie found the prisoner drunk and in-
capable in Upper alst Sini:hliel 1, and raised him
from the ground, on wllich the prisoner knocked
him down, got on the top of him, and bit him.
He described the biting, an 1 said 113 was
much injured. The prisoner also kicke:l him. Ile
then used his truncheon. lie was in great pain from
the bite.

The evidence of flail was confirmed by Police-
sergeant Tranter, No. 4 11, who was present, and
assisted in picking up the prisoner.
Mr. Benson said he never heard before of any-
thing so malicious and diabolical as the conduct of
the prisoner, and sentenced him to six weeks' im.
prisoument and hard labour.
Ann Mahomet, William Preston, and Emily
Wallis were brought before Mr. Benson charged
with being drunk and disorderly and assaulting
John Tucker, a police-countable.
The complainant said that Mahomet was a woman
of infamous character, and married to a Tuscan.
Last night Mahomet was using very bad language
in Shadwell, and was very noisy. lie took her into
custody. On the way to the station-house the
other prisoners met him, and sail " Where are you
taking her to'?" Ile requer.el them to stand aside
and not interfere with him. Preston then drew a
knife and said, " I'll rip you open," and was ad-
vancing towards him apparent/ly for that purpose,
when Wallis• took 63 knife away. With some
help he got all the prisoners to the station.
John Jarrett, of 3, Crown-street, Limehouse,
saw Preston with the knife. He threw him down,
and took it from him. Ile was afraid he intended
to stab the policeman. The prisoners were all very
noisy and violent.

Mr. Benson said there was much disorder and
violence among the infamous characters in the dis-
trict. He sentenced the woman to seven days' im-
prisonment and hard labour, and Preston to one
month's imprisonment and hard labour.

CONVOCATION 0 'llll 1." PRO FLA' ell 017

CA 2; TEBBUII,Y.

Both Houses of Convocation met on Tuesday. The
bishops remained deliberating with closed doors the greater
part of the day. At about three o'clock reporters were
admitted, when the Bishop of London read the report ol
the committee appointed in a previous session to " report
on the canonicity of the judgment of the Bishop of Cape
Town" inreference to the case of Dr. Colenso. The document
was of considerable length. It is stated that, although on
the supposition of the invalidity of the letters patent the
Bishop of Cape Town can claim no coercive jurisdiction
as metropolitan, be was fully entitled to act in the ques-
tion under discussion ; that ho 'so duly acted ; and that
the granting of the appeal to the Archbishop of Canter-
bury was in clue accordance with the tenour of the letters
patent. The committee were not equally agreed
as to the proceedings in synod. With regard,
however, to the whole case their lordships are of
opinion that substantial justice was done to the accused ;
that though the sentence, having been pronounced by a
tribunal not acknowledged by the Queen's courts, whether
civil or ecclesiastical, can claim no legal effect, the
Church as a spiritual body may rightly accept its validity.
The Bishop of London made a formal addition to the
report, stating his inability to append his signature
to the report, as it does not set forth those grounds
which have chiefly prevented his acknowledging the
validity of the trial and sentence. A discussion followed
which lasted till five o'clock, and several bishops being
anxious to speak, the archbishop said the debate must be
adjourned, and their lordships then separated. In the
Lower House, which assembled in the Jerusalem Chamber,
the business was not of very great interest. A notice
of a resolution promising an exciting discussion was
given by Dr. Jebb, declaring that the disseverance
of the Irish portion of the united Church of England
and Ireland from the State would he most injurious
to the best interests, both civil and religious, of
this nation, would be a breach of the solemn compacts
between Great Britain and Ireland made at the time of
their legislative union, and the violation of a fundamental
principle of our national polity, which has immemorially
recognised the Church as an integral part of the con•
stitution. Canon Seymour presented a petition signed
by over 1,300 churchmen, including some of the most
distinguished divines of the province of Canterbury,
praying for a formal declaration that the Church of Eng.
land would no longer hold communion with Dr. Colons°,
who had so grievously departed from the faith -

A QUAKER ENCYCLICAL.

An extract from the Quaker Encyclical, an address
which is issued annually by the executive of the Society
of Friends to their constituents, has been published. The
writers say :—" We lament the increasing departure
amongst us from true Christian simplicity. Whilst
providing liberal instruction for their children, may
parents not be drawn aside by the desire for
fashionable or merely ornamental accomplishments,
from a course of training and education condu-
cive to a useful and honourable life upon earth
and in harmony with the discipline that renders meet for
heaven. We have received, in the usual course, epistles
from our friends in Ireland, and from nine of the yearly
meetings on the American continent. The accounts
therein contained of the spreading of the truth, and of a
continued concern in connection with scriptural educa-
tion, with the welfare of the freedmen and with our
Christian testimony against war, are encouraging.
Our lively interest has been again awakened for our dear
friends in the newly-settled yearly meeting of Canada,
and we desire all our distant friends to accept the
renewed assurance of our sympathy and love. An-on;
the subjects which have come before us, few have taken
dce)er hold of our feelings than the awful fact that in
this, the nineteenth century of the dispensation of the
Prince of Peace, we find amongst the nations of Europe
millions of men, including the strength and stay of
families, withdrawn from their homes and all the sacred
duties and joys of life, and forced into immediate con-
tact with temptation, vice, and wretchedness. And for
what purpose ? That they may become adepts in the
science of mutual destruction, and that nations called
Christian, under the influence of distrust, rivalry, or am-
bition, may the more promptly and effectively engage
in mo*al conflict one with another. Although on this
solemn subject our voice may meet with but little
response in the professing churches of Christ, we feel
called upon to entreat all who love His name seriously
to consider the utter incompatibility of these things with
those fruits of the Spirit which Christians are to bring
forth, and with the great purposes of the Redeemer's
coming and reign."

Fresh herrings were disposed of in Douglas
market, - Isle of Man, during the past week at 2s. per
hundred.

At Warrington tho borough magistrates have
made an order, under the 109th section of the Local Im-
provement Act, for the substitution of incombustible for
combustible materials in the roofs of certain cottages in
the outskirts of the town, imposing a fine upon the owner-
in the event of non-compliance—the object being to
diminish the risk of fire.

Wednesday, the 15th July, has been fixed for
the ceremony of presenting the memorial window in the
Guildhall to the Corporation of London from the Lan-
cashire cotton operatives, to commemorate the munificent
subscription raised in the City and other parts of the
metropolis for their relief during the protracted cotton
famine consequent upon the American civil war.

A Mr. Kerr, of Edinburgh, has invented a re-
flector for a locomotive, by means of which the engineer
is able to see the rear of his train, the conductor, and all
who arc either getting on or off, without moving from hie
seat. It can be arranged for any length of train by simply
changing the angle of reflection. It has been tried on the
Jeffersonville road, and pronounced to be a success in every
respect.

From a return to an order of the House of
Commons, showing the amount assessed for income and
property tax in the United Kingdom, it appears that the
total amount of property and profits charged to income
tax in 1866 was, in England and Wales, £316,331,476 ; in
Scotland, £32,399,138 ; and in Ireland, £25,273,390. The
gross amount of revenue raised, excluding miscellaneous,
for the same year was, in Great Britain, £61,727,257, and
in Ireland, £7,463,710.

SHOCKING SUICIDE.—A soldier of the 33rd
Regiment (a volunteer from the 100th Regiment) named
Patrick Daley, committed suicide at Portsmouth on
Tuesday by discharging a loaded rifle into his mouth.
The unfortunate man had been detached for duty at the
commissariat stores in Earl•street Point, and almost
directly on going on sentry he committed the sad act.
His head was. literally blown to pieces, and death WM
instantaneous.

"An Old Bristolian," writing to the Western
Daily Press, suggests that both Mr. Morley and Mr.
Miles should be withdrawn as candidates for the city of
Bristol, and that some person quite unconnected with
either party be elected, with the understanding that he
will not he thought of for the general election. The
expense, which would be small, should be divided between
both parties. He would name Sir Robert Napier, the
hero of Abyssinia. "It would be a compliment- ;
he need not be consulted." His political views are not
known, but that is considered of little importance,

MURDER. AND SUICIDE BY A WOMAN.—An in-
quest has been held at Huddersfield touching the death of
Sarah Blackburn, aged 29, and Arthur Blackburn, aged
2 years, the wife and son of John Blackburn, dyer, Mold-
green. The evidence chewed that a few days ago the
woman said to her husband and mother that " it had been
done now," for attempts had been made to prevent her
getting a living by damaging her character ; and about
two hours after she said this she was seen with her child in
her arms near the canal, not far from the place where she
was subsequently found. The jury returned a verdict that
she had destroyed herself and her child in a fit of tem-
porary insanity.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—The half-yearly meet-
ing of the proprietors of the Crystal Palace, held on
Tuesday, was very protracted and somewhat excited. The
cause of contention was the old-standing question of
-opening the palace on Sundays. The result was
another triumph for the friends of the Sunday opening.
In the course of the discussion the chairman, Mr. T.
Hughes, M. P., stated that the Duke of Edinburgh
had consented to a public reception to take place next
Saturday at the Crystal Palace, that the Prince of
\Vales and other members of the Royal Family would
be present, and that everything would be clone to give
eclat to the occasion.

LORD JUSTICE SIR WILLIAM PAGE WOOD ON
TEurEn.tlicE.—Mr. John Bennett Anderson has received a
letter from Lord Justice Wood, which is forwarded
for publication :—" 31, Great George-street, S.W., June
28, 18G8. My dear sir, I Lilly appreciate your labours in
the very important direction of promoting temperance
among our people. If they would but learn this they would,
indeed, become changed into new men. The only founda-
tion for such a happy result is a sound Christian faith,
and you have done well in resting your arguments on that
sure basis. Whilst they are yet weak in faith, perhaps
total abstinence may be the best course of tuition, but the
Christian will be temperate in all things, and recognise
that every creature of God is good when used with faith
and thanksgiving.--Yours truly, W, I', wom—ktr,
B. Andcroon." _
