WESTMINSTER.

BRUTAL ASSAULT.-Mr. Arthur Lund, one of
the Christy's Minstrels, residing at 15, Kinnerton-
street, Wilton-place, Knightsbridge, was charged,
on a warrant, with assaulting Miss Mary Anu
Thorn, of the same address.

Mr. M. D. Smyth, solicitor, of Rochester-row,
defended.

Miss Mary Ann Thorn, a lady of between 40 and
50 years of age, whose face presented a fearful
sight, stated that last Saturday night she vas in
bed at home, when the defendant broke open her
room door, and without saying anything struck her
a most violent blow in the face, completely break-
ing her nose and injuring her very much. He said
she had insulted his wife, who was an invalid.
In cross-examination by Mr. Smyth, witness said
she had not assaulted the wife of the prisoner.
They had had words about some work, and the
wife snatched some cloth away from her, and she
snatched it back. The wife afterwards fell down,
but she had no hand in it. The wife was an

Mr. Smyth admitted that nothing could justify
such an assault, but pleade 1 in extenuation that the
husband came home, and finding his wife, who was
an invalid, had been knocked about by Miss
Thorn, he committed the assault in the heat of the
moment.

Miss Emma Stanley corroborated, and
Mr. Robert Barrett, the landlord, proved seeing
the defendant's wife on the ground, but complainant
denied striking her ; defendant's wife was an invalid,
but he believed not naturally, rather owing to her
husband's ill-treatment.

The prisoner was remanded for a week on bail,
a summons to issue at the suit of the wife against
Miss Thorn for an assault.

We have now before us, says a contemporary, a
tradesman's card on which it is really difficult to
comment, and we should not notice it if we had not
recently observed several of the kind. It runs
thus :—" Jesus only. ——, oil and Italian
warehouseman, No. —, road, Notting-hill.
Sauces, jams, pickles, &c., &c." The words " Jesus
only" are printed in neat small letters on the left
hand upper corner of the card. We are aware tha
some religious societies hope to do good by the
display of startling Scripture texts in unex-
pected places ; but it is much to be feared
that, instead of introducing religion into com-
mon life, they vulgarise and profane words and
ideas usually associated with the most serious and
respectful thoughts. And whatever may be said of
religious placards posted by religious enthusiatts at
railway stations and hotels, no one can fail to see
the atrocious profanity of dragging in the most
sacred name as a help to puff off jams and sauces.
The very adulteraticu of consecrated thoughts with
trading purposes suggests that the sanctimonious
advertiser must be first cousin to the grocer who
sanded the sugar and then went to prayers, and
that he hopes to diffuse his pickles more by Nyco of
piety than by their own piquancy. Surely, the
dodge must be obsolete ?

EATING THE G LACIERS. —The Gazette de Lau-
sanne states that a considerable trade in ice has been
Lttely organised by a person named Robatel, residing
near Martigy. The ice from the glaciers having
been sawn into regular cubes of small volume and
perfect transparency is packed in boxes, and sent oft
by fast trains to various centres of population it,
France, and arrives with very little waste.

Henry A. Wise is preparing recollections of his
own life, to be publi;.hecl in Boston. -

General Sir Robert Napier, G.C.8., will be en-
tertained at a grand banquet, which will be given
by the officers of the Royal Engineers, at Chathain,
on Friday next. The Duke of Cambridge, K.G.,
and other distinguished officers have accepted invi-
tations to be present on the occasion.
Active preparations are being made by the offi-
cers and men of the Royal Engineers at Chatham
for a series of siege operations on a 'more extensive
scale than any hitherto attempted in this country,
the whole of the lower portion of Chatham lines and
the adjacent lands having been handed over to the
Royal Engineers, who are now pushing forward
their works with the utmost rapidity. The engi-
neering operations on which the sappers
and miners are now engaged include a
system of countermines (defensive mines), the
works connected with which aro nearly completed.
A magistral gallery has also been formed parallel to
the counterscarp, from which two communications
have been driven to an envelope gallery distant
about 100 feet from the counterscarp. From the
envelope gallery several listening galleries have been
formed towards the front, while an entrance to the
system has been made from the main ditch of the
fortress, through the counterscarp wall. During
the progress of the mining operations experiments
have been carried out with the view of ascertaining
whether the sizes of the galleries now adopted are
the best for rapidity of progress and convenience.
The common galleries hitherto constructed by the
Royal Engineers have been made 4ft. Gin. high

given being those of the inside of the gallery
cases. The rate of progress with cases of the for-
mer pattern was from 28 feet to 32 feet per diem,
whereas with the newly adopted dimensions a gal-
lery has been driven 52 feet in the 24 hours. One
of the difficulties miners have hitherto had to con-
tend against has been the impurity of the air in the
workings, but this has been in a measure counter-
acted at the Royal Engineer establishment by the
adoption of long lengths of indiarubber tubing in
place of the old fashioned short joints of tin pipe,
to conduct the air to the head of the galleries, the
miners being thus enabled to work with much
greater comfort. The offensive mines will
shortly be commenced from the third parallel of
the siege works constructed against the fortress of
Chatham, on the completion of which there will
be a field day of the whole of the troops of the gar-
rison in the presence of several distinguished visi-
tors, who have announced their intention of being
present on the occasion.

THE WIMBLEDON MEETING.—The business of
the meeting commenced yesterday morning at a quarter
past nine o'clock, a period earlier by some hours than has
hitherto been customary; but the new arrangement had
in its favour this advantage, that it converted what was
often a listless half-day of preparation into a whole day of
active progress. The attendance was decidedly larger
than and the spirit of the Volunteers excellent,
notwithstanding the twO trying nights which many of
sual,
them had passed under canvas.

The annual sheep fair at Stockbridge, in Hamp-
shire, took place on Friday last. There are records to bhow
that it has existed for two centuries, and it is believed that
it is one of the most ancient fairs in the kingdom.
