THAMES,

ctable mechanic, was brought
AN INCORRIGIBLE DnumunD.—Clara Hardy
btheeforweiAfelro. fßeanrseosnP,echarged with being drunk and
incapable of taking care
,of herself, and also with
using filthy language.
The prisoner is a most dissipated woman, and
has ruined a good husband. She put on a most
pitiable countenance, craved forgiveness, and said
that she had never been in a station-house until
last night, or in a police-court until this morning.
This outrageous lie was immediately contradicted
by Police Sergeant Maddigan, No. 42 K, who said
the prisoner had been ten times ill custody at the
Arbour-street Police-station since the 3d of June
last. She had been discharged five times and fined
five times. Sergeant Maddigan then read the dates
of her conviction, and said she had been in custody
at other stations.

Mr. Benson— How often ?
sergeant Maddigan—l cannot tell, sir. I can
only speak of my station.
The prisoner begged very hard to be forgiven,
and said she would never get drunk again.
Mr. Benson said the sergeant had spoken of the
prisoner being in custody 10 times, and no depend-
ance could be placed on her word. It would be an
injustice to the public and to the husband of the
prisoner if he did not punish her. He sentenced
her to seven days' imprisonment and hard labour.
AIicITUA
_ _

Murphy, an Irish tailor, better known as Drunken
Murphy, was charged with wounding his wife and
child.

Last night the prisoner came home drunk, made
a great disturbance, and after abusing his wife,
and swearing he would murder her, beat her with
a poker, inflicting many severe contusions and
wounds. She was removed to the London Hospital
in a very precarious condition. The prisoner also
beat his daughter, a girl about seven years of age,
and gave her two black eyes.
Mr. Benson, on hearing that the prisoner's wife
could not leave the hospital, remanded him for a
week.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BROMLEY SPRING MEETING-MONDAY.

Beautiful weather, and the absence of any counter at-
traction elsewhere, drew an immense attendance to Brom-
ley, and a fair day's racing, although of the veriest "plat-
ing" deicription, appeared to be thoroughly appreciated by
the spectators. It being "settling day" iu awn, the en-
closure was only occupied with the smaller class of specu-
lators, and but little business was done over the different

THE SHROPSHIRE MURDER,--SHREWSBURY, April
7.-Mapp has at length confessed the murder for which he
lies under sentence of death, and which he hitherto per-
sistently denied. Ho will not however, say why he killed
the girl.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES AND INCENDIARISII.—This
morning, a few minutes before throe o'clock, a fire broke
out in the stabling and provendor stores belonging to Mr.
J. Dorman, cab proprietor, Stroud's-vale, York-road,
Islington. The horses were rescued, and every exertion:was
made by the firemen to save the buildings, but the flames
could not be extinguished until the stabling and stores were
burnt out and the roof destroyed. The origin of the fire is
unknown. Mr. Dorman was insured in the Queen Office.
About the same time a fire (the work of an incendiary)
broke out on the premises of Mr. J. Keen, Notting Barn
Farm, Salter's-fields, Notting-hill. Some person set on
fire a stack of hay, containing 13 loads, standing upon the
homestead. The engines could not extinguish the flames
until one-third of the rick, was destroyed. The sufferer
was insured in the Sun Office.

ACCIDENT TO MDLL IC. Az ELLA.—The groat
attraction at the Royal Amphitheatre and Circus, Holborn,
for the last few weeks has been the performance of
Mdlle. Azella on the trapeze, and those who have wit-
nessed it generally agree it is graceful, but for a woman
excessively daring. No accident or hitch of any kind
occurred with respect to Mdlle. Azella's feats since her ap-
pearance in London until Monday eve.ning, when, unfor-
tunately, one of those distressing events took place which
sooner or later appear to mark the gymnast's hazardous
career, and which mar the pleasure of an evening's amuse-
ment. Madlle. Azella went through her preliminary flights
on the trapeze with her accustomed grace, and successfully
accomplished what is termed in the bills "a flight across
the arena of 100 ft., terminating in a somersault at an elva-
tion of 30ft. from the platform." Loud applause greeted
the performer, who then swung herself from the rest at
the back of the stage on which she stands, by a trapeze,
with the intention of catching another, which, being set
in motion, would meet her at the extreme distance to
which the first trapeze would extend. In her flight
Madlle. Azella, twisted herself round the cross-stick of
the trapeze, using her legs as actively as her arms, and
came into position to spring to the second trapeze ; but
either the latter did not come its proper distance, or Mdlle,
Azella swung herself short of difficult to say which
as, when she let go the one cross-stick and sprang at the
other she failed to catch the latter, and fell a distance of
about 8 eight feet upon the platform, coming down flat on
her f Ice. Fortunately her arms were extendedand saved her
face from serious injury. The platform is covered with a
sort of thin mattress, but as it appears to bo without any
spring the fall must have been very severe. The must painful
sensation was created by the accident in every part of the
house, and there were suppressed screams from the female
portion of the audience. Mdlle. Azella was on her feet in
a moment, but as quickly fainted and was carried off the
platform. One of the managers appeared in about ten
minutes, and said a surgeon had examined Mdlle. Azella
and found that the muscles of her arm had been injured.
The fair trapezist came on the platform after a short inter-
val, looking weak and deadly pale, and it was evident he
face had suffered. She was loudly cheered.

CRYSTAL PALACE.—One Shilling Day, Monday,
April 6.—Admissions on payment, 1,087 ; ditto by season
tickets, 1,191; total visitors, 2,278.
Ristori's success in Havana has been even more
complete than anticipated by the amiable, elegant, san-
guine Grau.

Alice Kingsbury is at the St. Charles, New
0 rloan s.

A troup of Japs in Pesth, Hungary, went to
breakfast by the invitation of an enthusiastic admirer of
art, and indulged in the white wines of Hungary until
they were long past the power of locomotion. The
performance was consequently postponed, money re-
funded, and the Japs were fined for neglect of duty to the
public.

In St. Louis there is no lack of theatrical attrac-
tion. Mr. and Mrs. Floronco, at Da Bar's, are playing
the Irish drama to houses as full as the commodious
building will hold. The Olympic is doing " Undine."
Alfred Moe, a champion skater, is doing " his little
utmost," as Polly Eccles would say, to amuse the Mis-
sourians. After the Florences, the "Grande Duchesse."
Barnum retires from the show business, which
he hats adorned from the infancy of the great Republic.
ROUMANIAN ART.—The ancient gold work,
dating as early as the fifth century, exhibited at Paris, and
lent by the Roumanian Government to the South Kensing-
ton Museum, will only remain on view for a few days longer
before its return to Bucharest.

FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION.—A fatal boiler ex-
plosion took place at South Pelew Colliery, in the county
of Durham, on Saturday morning. Mark Loathard, a
breaksman, was putting coals on the fire at the time, and
he was blown away and killed on the spot. Two or three
other persons were hurt, but not seriously. A lot of pit
lads had just left the fire hole, and had not got to the bottom
of the shaft when the boiler exploded. Had they been at
bank they would most likely all have been killed. Thu
boiler was one of four at bank used for driving the engine
which does the usual work there. The explosion did a
good deal of mischief to the buildings about.
TIIE DUKE DE MASSA'S OPERA OF DANTE.—The little
theatre of the Conservatoire do Musique, Paris, presented
on Saturday week a most brilliant appearance, on the oc-
casion of the Duke de Massa having portions of his opera
of Dante performed for the gratification of his numerous
friends. About nine o'clock the ladies of the chorus, all
dressed in white, took their places on the left of the stage,
and the men on the right. M. Daloffre then gave the
signal, and the orchestra commenced the prelude which
serves as overture to the opera. Mdlle. Nilsson imme-
diately after came forward amidst loud applause. She
was in white, with blue sash, pearls round the neck, and
white roses in her hair, and holding a bouquet of lilacs
and white roses. The opera of Dante is divided into three
parts, and in the first a sonnet was sung so charmingly by
the fair Swedish cantatrice that it was encored with
great enthusiasm, and the same mark of favour was ac-
corded to a charming capriccio, forming part of the ballet
music which is intercalated in the work, The perform-
ance did not terminate until half-past twelve, two
entr'actes having been arranged, during which visits were
nterchanged and refreshments taken, the theatre being
for the time transformed into an aristocratic drawing-

room.

THE OLD SOLDIERS OF THE EMPIRE.--A paper
gives some interesting details relative to the Hotel des
luvalides. That asylum contains ordinarily a population
of 19,000 old soldiers, a small minority of whom this
moment belong to the last period of the First Empire. The
number of the old companions in arras of Napoleon I. at
the Hotel is about 940, and of that number more than 150
have lost a limb, and a few are blind. There is one who has
lost both the fore arms, and who, furnished with two hooks
adapted to the stumps, uses them with much dexterity to sup-
pl) the place of hands. About 60 wear the military modal,
and nearly 200 are decorated with the Cross of the Legion
of Honour. Among the latter several hav
r rece eived t
forhe
distinction under the present Emperor as a ward
services rendered to the first. Among the older members
there are 30 whose services date from the first Republic.
