POLICE I.NTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER AND TILE CON-
STABLE.—Mr. Henry Tippett, a commercial travel-
ler, of No. 20, High-street, Holborn, was charged
before Knox with being drunk and assaulting police-
constable Richard Do wdeswell, 163 C.
The constable said that about ten o'clock the
previous night he was in the Haymarket, when he
found the prisoner, who was drunk, lying on his
back. He picked the prisoner up, and he walked
across the road, and got into a Hansom cab, and
the cabman asking where he wanted to go, he re-
plied, “To He (the constable) then looked
into the cab, upon which the prisoner struck him a
violent blow on the nose, smothering him with blood,
and on taking him into custody, and on the way to
the station, he was very violent.
The prisoner said that, after being roughly
handled by the constable, he got into a cab, when
the constable struck him because he would not get
out of the cab.

Mr. Knox said he could not have constables as-
saulted in such a manner.

The prisoner said he had lost his hat, had his coat
torn, been struck, and locked up.
The constable said the prisoner had no bat with
him.

Mr. Knox said he would give the prisoner the
option of paying a fine, but he would have to pay
the full fine, namely, £5 or a month.

THANIES.

NOT VERY MILIT4 RY. —Patrick M'Hewnena,
who was also called M‘liinnon, aged thirty years,
military store clerk, of 2, Lacey-street, Bow, was
brought before Mr. Paget charged with assaulting
Charles Stevan., 1....21...5 attendant. The
complainant, a respectable and quiet man, was on
duty at the cab rank in High-street, Whitechapcd,
when the prisoner, who was drunk, came
up to him and sail, " What do you clll
yourself ?" " A man," was the reply. The
prisoner immediately struck Stevens on the mouth,
and left a mark which was visible. The prisoner,
who could not deny the cowardly outrage, wished
to settle with the complainant and give him 103.
Stevens declined any compromise, and said he should
act contrary to the orders of the Commissioners of
Police if he made a settlement with the prisoner.
Mr. Paget thereupon fined the military-store
clerk 205., and told him his conduct was not very

BARROWDIGGING lAI SUFFOLK.—The Rev. Canon
Greenwell, of Durham, who has made such extensive in-
vestigations in the Yorkshire tumuli, has commenced a
series of Suffolk diggings noar Ingham, Bury St. Ed-
mund's, the results of which will be made public on com-
pletion of the work. On Thursday the Suffolk Archeaolo-
gical Association met on the ground. So far only burnt
burials have been mot with.

BOILER EXPLOSION ON TUE THAMES.—A boiler
explosion, causing the death of two stokers on board
of a steam towing vessel, occurred off Cliffe, about
four miles below Gravesend, yesterday, about midday.
It appears that the steam-tug Pilot, belonging to Mr.
Davis, of Gravesend, having a party consisting of about
29 persons on board, left that town at noon, and proceeded
down the river on a trial trip, the vessel having been
laid by for repairs during the last three months. On
rounding the point near Cliffe it was observed that the indi-
cator showed a pressure of only a few pounds on the boiler,
when it was evident that the real pressure must be far
greater, and Mr. Cooper, an engineer, was about to descend
the ladder into the engine-room when a rumbling sound,
attended by a concussion, was heard ; the vessel rolled on
her side, and a dense cloud of smoke and steam issued
from the engine-room. It was at once seen that the lower
part of the boiler had burst, and immediately after the
first alarm was over a search was made for the two men
who had charge of the engine. One of them, Charles
Thomas, a young man about 23 years of age, was dragged
out in a shocking state, having received severe and, as it
afterwards proved, fatal injuries. The body of William
Hewitt, the other stoker, was also got out. Both of his
legs had been torn off by the force of the explosion, and he
was quite dead. Thomas was removed to the Gravesend
Infirmary, and survived about an hour. Both of the bodies
were taken to the deadhouse to await the coroner's inquest.
They present a sad spectacle, the flesh being quite black,
and portions of it detached.
THE ABYSSINIAN WOUNDED.—We have been fur-
nished with some account of the number and nature of the
wounds sustained by the troops composing the British part
of the force in Abyssinia. No details of the injuries among
the men of the Indian and Belooch regiments have yet
been received, but these are known to have been unim-
portant. Never before, probably, have such results been
achieved with so insignificant a numerical loss to our-
selves. On the two occasions—viz., the fight of the 10th,
and the final assault of Magdala on the 13th of April--
there were only 13 men and two officers wounded. The
gunshot injuries were almost exclusively of the extremi-
ties, and generally of the lower. On the 10th six men of
the 4th Regiment were wounded, five of them being by
gunshot. A sergeant and private appear to have sustained
the most severe wounds—the former a rifle-ball frac-
ture of the left leg, the latter a fracture of the loft
humerus. Captain Roberts' wound was caused by a rifle
ball perforating the left elbow. He was doing well by the
latest accounts. At the assault on the 13th seven men
w-re wounded—three from rifle bullets, one from a spear,
and three were otherwise injured by splinters, &c. Of
five cases in the 33d Regiment four were injuries of the
lower and ono of the upper extremity. Major Pritchard's
was a slight splinter wound of the right arm and shoulder;
accompanied by much contusion of the parts. It will be
seen with great satisfaction that-among the 15 cases there
was no instance of perforating gunshot injury of the
trunk of the body. When any internal organs have been
traversed by a rifle ball, it necessarily follows that the
gravest consequences may be feared, which wo may con-
fidently anticipate will not be the case CM the present 00-
