AUSTRIA —ARREST OF MR . BRACE , AS AMERICAS CITIZEN , The following extracts are from a letter written by - > lr . Urace , dated from Perth ( Hungary ) , Jane 2 G , 1851 , and published in the New Fork Tribune : — 1 had been travelling for a considerable time In Hungary , enjoying the enthusiastic welcome -which an American will ever receive in that land , studying as I had done in other Iand 3 the character and e £ r > ci uly the political institutions of the people , when re . iotie-i at length a city in the south-eastern part , Qrosswardein . A few hours after my arrival , I went ia company with the friend I was visiting to a hotel to dine . I recollect now , at the table where we were sitting , ¦ j ? c : re two gentlemen who , for some reason I could XKiti account for to niyseif , left an impression on my miiidatthe lime of interest . However , I thought no p ore of it , hut , according to the invariable rule which I have observed in ail public places in Austrian territory , I joined in no conversation , until at lengiU mj frieuu , wishing to show perhaps lie had an American acquaintance , asktd me a question about the Hungarian colony jn Iowa . 1 said a few words in reply , such as that tbe cV . mate was excellent , soil good , and that Ujhazy had chosen the place remarkably well' that TJjhazy himself was Tery much respected in America , and it was said
he worked very hard in the colony , &c ., &c . Tiese word 3 , as it appears , were the principal cause of my arrest . After this , along with , my { rieud , 1 visited tbe various acquaintances to whom I iiad lettew , : is well as otbrrs in the city , until the next day , as we were calling upon the QbtrgujKin , I was told by him I stood under suspicion as I bad nothanded in my pass for am . Ireplied that I supposed that twenty-four hours were al ' owed for this here as in other Hungarian cities , aud hurried off at twee to the " Piace-Commaadant " to arrange the matter , feeling a little anxious , as I knew the authorities would be-glad of any pretext to attack an American . The Commandant , however , received me Tery politely , and assui ed me there would be no difficulty whatever , nnd I returned quietly to dine with au acquaintance . While at dinner , an .: in the midst of our congratulations that wehad ^ taken away all pretextfrom Vaa police for any proceedings against" the
American , in Btalked the chief of police , with a gendarme and a warrant for my arrest and the searching of my effects , on tho charge that I had " Proclamations " with me . We took the matter very quietly , aud after boido explanations the policpdireetor eat down with- us to dinner , and we finished our meal and drank coffee together , and then all drove off to my lodgings , supposing it was only a trifle , which would be bettlerf at once by the examination of my papers . Too order for my arrest it appears had been made out the day before , within six hours after my arrival , and as I was lodging with a friend the gendarme Iiad not been able to find me , and had searched for me the whole night through in every ijotel and lodging-house of the city . After a close examination of my friend's effects * the gendarme and myself drove to the office of one of the military authorities ; left my portfolio and papers there , and , with some delay at tho barracks , we rode out of the town to the old Castle , ** for a temporary arrest , " as he saiu .
As wo rattled under the heavy old arched gateway , however , into the court within , I had a presentiment that it might not go so well with me as I had thought . My gendarme led me up through an old dilapidated stairway and hsll , and there handed ine O ^ CX to two so ldiers , who stood on guard OTC-r mo with fixed bayonets . Here we waited some time , until at length a little officer , with a sharp "voice , told the soldiers to bring me up stairs . Up accordingly we marched , and the officer asked why I was here . "I have not the slightest idea '" I replied , " I supposed it was because I was an American . " He then said he had command to search my person , aud , without more ceremony , he proceeded to the work . Every possible hole and corner iraa scorched in my pockets ; and everything to tbo last kreutzer and smallest bit Gf paper taken out , snd carefully noted down . I said not a word during the whole search , though I know nothing more degrading , to the feelings of a freeman thansueh
procedure-., After this was over , be took me through a dirt ; room where wore some half dozen mea—into a still dirtier lighted by a grated window which was boarded on the outside nearly to the top , aud said " ihcT 3 were my quarters . ** I asked him if he * could give me no better . " " JKo , " said he , " I am odered to place yon . hereI Yon can have ibese Vwo gentlemen here for company . Ifc wi ) l be pan oi your experience as a traveller . Gutt twi'tt . " The two " gentlemen" were , the one , a common TIonTed , convicted of carrying a false pass , and the other a tailor , sentenced to five month ' s impriionnjent , for having a concealed weapon . I bal not been there long before a friendly voice from the other room called me to the keyhole , and told me not to be blue , for it was always hard at first . " And , friend , what is the news from our pi-ople in Europe . " I replied , " I did aot know at sll , for I was only a traveller— " Whereupon the voice wished me a good sleep , in French , and struck up for my consolation , the Marsellaise . with
great spirit . At first , as Is usual , came a great number oi unimportant questions , as to my birth-place , name , profession , &c , &e ., and at length the question , pat with great earnestness by theexamlniug Major , " What are your objects in Hungary ? " As 1 was before a court of soldiers , as a man not accustomed tO l ) c ashamed of his objects anywhere , I explained fullj and frankly my plans : — " I am travelling in Hungary , gentlemen , a 31 have travelled in other lands , with the purpose of studying tho character and Rianners of the people , and with the particular objece of investigating the old political institutions of il ; e Hungarians . There hag always been a want of good reports hi America , with respect to the old constitution of this nation . I wish to see its
workingi , on the spot . My object has been no other than that of a candid investigator . " I soon saw that I had . made a great mistake . " We do not believe your account , sir , " said he , " we know the sympathy of the Americans with these revolutionists here . We know that no American traveller would leave the great rotates of travel for such a vague purpo 3 eaa this . "You are the first who has erer been in tbe land . T ? e know your object . " It was in vain I assured him our countrymen travelled in all lands . He wonld hear nothing of it , and I gave op the controversy , by asking for "Ms proofs of any other object ? " Be did not answer , but-continued with a most searching investigation , as to my acquaintance with the Hungarian emigrants . . Fortunately for me , I had met but few
whose names I remembered , and of these , the only One of importance was General Czetz , whom I bad met in Hamburg , and who had TIBiy politely given me a note of introduction to a friend in Pesth , which I still bad with me . The note was of the simplest form ever used in Europe , merely— " The Uerrvon C . introduces with pleasure Mr . , to Ms friend Mr . S ., of P , " Yet this was pounced upon with the greatest avidity , by the examining Major , or " Auditor , " as he is called . " T ? e understand the countersigns and secret devices of your Democratic Society . Ton hide a conspiracy under s few words . There is a plot bere I" I told iiim he must know the world Tery little , or he would know—nothing' was more common than such formal introductions . I bad a dozen now in my ¦ pott foJio .
Among the emigrants I mentioned I had seen Ujhazy , in Heir York . To this ho returned again and again . " "Where had I spoken with Mm ?" I had never spoken with him . "— " What i « your connexion with him ? " "I have none . "— " Speak out , sir , open and frankly . Do not hold back so much . What Is your agreement with TJJbazy , and where are your letters from him ? " " 1 repeat it —and it will not be necessary to say it again—that I do not know TJjaa * yt aQu haTe never spoken with him . If 70 a have proofs , you must bring them forward . "
Kelt came tip the point of my having visited certain persons who were , in 1843 , engaged in the Revolution . I admitted it , but urged that I had also visited men of the other party , even the Government officials , and that my lettera were to the principal men of all parties . " We understand it , Sir ! That is your screen I" said he . In my pack was found a revolutionary pamphlet printed in 1848 , in which the "Auditor" laid great stress , as proving my revolutionary purposes . " It prows nothing , " said I , in reply ; " I lave been collecting documents from all sides , and this is one . I can prove from Tienna , that when there , I reaj . worki on the other Bide : " The reading works on tbe other side was only natural in an educated man , " Baid he . I then ventured to ask , "What would not be auspicious in an American iu the view of the
Austrian authorities V " I am not here to argue , " was the reply . 6 ' Every ali gbtest thing w . bM the Audiloy coald gra ed ° « aso against me was eagerly iJtad bro " Tldiinj ; a . gentleman in the neighbonrhood , who was ultimately connected wtb one of the leaders of the Hungarian party in 1848 As I was gomg away , he gave me his own card ' £ hichl could present as a card of introduction to bis relative , now residing in England .

had been allowed , by fJovernmenfc , to go to England to visit his relative , At the close of the examination , some six hours in length , came the charge against me , in the following words : " You are a member of the Democratic Vereb , ( Union ) and employed by the Com * mittee wwlanagentof Ujhazy and Czetz , herein Hungary , for , the purpose of spreading revolutionary movements !" As it appeared later , the only possible evidence which they had for this charge , besides what is mentioned above , were the words I had uttered in tbe hotel . The two men opposite us at the table were membors of the Secret Police , and had reported immediately that there was an American in the city who " spoke aa if acquainted with Ujhary . " H
After this examination succeeded some others , unimportant , and then the long , weary , almost hopeless days of imprisonment . I might lay for months , years , rotting in that dull prison . However , I resolved at once on the only means tor my deliverance , and this was , to communicate with our Embassy in Yienna . This was difficult , as we were all closely watched and every letter by mail would certainly be opened ; From the extraordinary sympathy of the people without , however , for my case , I at length succeeded ; and , as I have since learned , this probably saved me . For three days after my examination I was closely locked up , with my two companions , but after this , allowed the privilege of walking an hout in the court with the other prisoners- I made repeated
attempts to obtain a hearing with the Major , in order to express my sense of my treatment , and at length , after nearly three weeks of imprisonment , succeeded , as it was necessary for me to see Mm , in order to draw my money . He asked what I wished with him ? "Iwish , " said 1 , "toreport myself to the Court-martial with respect to my treatment here , through this whole case , I beg you to remember that the matter is quite aa serious a one for you , sir , as for me . You have suddenly , on mere suspicion , arrested me , a free American citizen , travelling with a pass , under the protection of your government and my own . You have treated me like a felon . You have suut me up with men whom , the Austrian government regards as the greatest criminals—some of them even yet under
sentence of death . You have thrown me into most filthy quarters , where my whole body is eaten with fleas "—( and , as I said this , I bared my arm before him , all blotched and marked by the insects . ) " And more than this , sir , you have held me here for three weeks , on such slight proof , and on a charge , so unsupportable , that I must consider it an attack on me as an American . I know our government and our people . They will never suffer a free citizen to be mistreated on such grounds . They will hold you responsible , sir , and your government , for these proceedings !" He had by this time , as I have since learned ,
received intelligence of a spirited appeal of Mr . M'Curdy ' s in Vienna , fir my release , and he evidently felt alarmed . The bullying manner of the previous ex-iminations , wss changed for the most soft and winning . He begged me to be assured he had not been aware of my treatment in the prison , lie himself nrgbt be convinced of my innocence , but ho was obliged to carry the investigation according to the usual forms . lie had always felt a sincere respect for the Americans—and he hoped I would not think he had delayed this investigation . My papers were all in English or French , and he had been obliged to send them to Pesth . for translation . He regretted extremely the long delay , &c , ho .
Americans I your fellow citizen has ventured into a distant land , under the protection of your name ! In open day , while observing every law of tUe country in which he travels , he , is dragged to a dungeon and treated as a felon . Even aB you are bound , onjour own streets and highways , to protect your poorest citizen from the attack of the assassin or the robber , so equally are you bound , in these distant lands , to shield your Iiudiblest countryman from the violence of an unjust government . C . L . B . The Boston Adas has a letter from Vienna , dated July 6 th , from which we copy as follows : —
After Mr- Brace had been declared innocent , and set free in Hungary , on arriving here at Vienna , he was called up by the police authorities , who , after insulting him , oy saying that ho must have been implicated in some way , or the trial could not have lasted so long , ordered him to leave the Austrian territories in three davs ; and this they did , as they said , not On their own responsibility , but according to orders from the government . Mr . Brace told thorn ho would represent this to his Minister , who would no doubt demand of tho government an explanation of this flew proceeding . On going to the police-office the next day , at the time fixed for getting his passport to leave the place , and asking if they insisted upon his leaving instantly , they seemed to have changed their minds , and told him he could remain till they communicated with him again . So the matter stands , though Mr . Brace will no doubt leave of his own accord to morrow or the day after .
There are , moreover , constant accounts of Americans being subjected to difficulties in remaining here , and also of Americans , wishing to come here , being refused the vise for that purpose , by Austrian ambassadors . The time seems to have come when it must be decided whether American travellers are to be on an equality with those of other nations , Or whether their movements are to be interfered with by any petty power that chooses to put itself in their wav .

Attempted Suicikbs bt PoiSOJf AT KoiIINOHAM , —During the last week , at Nottingham , no Ibsb than threo women have attempted to terminate their existence by poison . On Priday last Mary Ann Waine . aged twenty-three , warehouse girl , attempted to destroy her life by drinking threepennyworth of laudanum .

of thunder and lightning both on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons . The storm on Thursday appeared tobetheheaviest ; the lightning being exceedingly vivid , the claps of . thunder terrific , and the rain falling almost in spouts ; yet , so far as has been ascertained , tho storm on Wednesday appears to have done the greatest damage to property . There were many rumours in Manchester of injury done in agricultural districts around by the killing of cattle and otherwise . Scs ? ectbd Poiso . vise ik EsaEX . —Another case suspected to be conneoted with that hideous system of secret poisoning has occurred at Vange , a small raral parish lying upon the waterside , near Stanford-le-Hope .

He Jay for nearly a week in excruciating agony , and died about noon on the following Saturday . The body was in due course buried . Other circumstances , which it would not be judicious to detail , connecting themselves with the nature of his illness and death , produced dark suspicions and general wlmpm of foul play . —The body was exhumed , and an inquest held which was adjourned to enable Professor Taylor to analjsethe stomach and its contents .

LIVERPOOL . MANBtAPOHiEn . —Thomas Williamson , 40 , and Thomas Barton , 41 , £ f ™ p f . . \ th " ie man ' slaughter of Timothy O'Iseil and eight ^ P «> sons , at Manchester , on the 25 th of last March . The prisoner Williamson was the proprietor of a circular saw-mill , in Riga-street , Manchester , and the prisoner Egerton had the management of the ateanvenfino , and boiler connected with the mill . It appeared from the evidence of one of the workmen named David Read , that on the 25 th of March last , at two o ' clock , lie saw the prisoner Egerton in the engine-house packing the cylinder-lid to keep it tight , and the witness , along with three other workmen , assisted him to get the lid down , whilst B " erton screwed it down . After thia Eeerton asked the witness and a workman named Sutherland to start tbe engine . They tried to move
the fly-wheel with a lever , but u would not stir , and Eeerton then moved his Btartmg-rod , and said , "I will start her , whether I break ought or naught . " There did not , however , appear to be any steam , and Egerton said , " There ia no steam ; by G— , it ' s a case . " Immediately after the witness heard a great noise and was knocked down ; the building was blown down , and he was in the midst of the ruins . A little before tbe explosion , Egerton went to the throttle valve , aud tried to blow some steam into the cylinder . No steam came , but a blue glimmer was in tne cylinder . — Mr . Fairbairn , an engineer , who had paid much attention to the causes of of boiler explosions , said he had examined the boiler in question after the explosion ; it was six feet two inches in diameter , and made of plates five-sixths of an inch thick . The internal flue was raised six or seven inches above the bottom . There were two internal stays riveted to the ends of tbe
boiler and to the flue . The boiler appeared to have been well made , with the exception that there ougbt to have been two more stays at each end . The opinion he had formed of the cause of the explosion was that the plates had been red hot , and a portion of the internal flue not covered with water , and that this had caused the boiler to burst from the high-pressure of the steam engendered . The cylinder could not have become red hot bad it been . covered with hot water . His opinion was , from tbe appearance of tho safety-valve , that it must either have been made fast or have become so by accident at tho time of the explosion , it would not matter how strong tbe boiler was if the safety-valve were fast . The boiler in question was strong enough to gernerate steam for a twenty-five horse power engine . The " blue glimmer " spoken of by the Jasc witness was what was called " dry steam . " The diameter of tbe safety-valve was three inches . It would have been better had it been of four
inches diameter , but even that would have been inoperative if weighted too much . He had no fault to find with the weighting of this valve ; assuming that there had been a proper supply of water , the weight would have been right . The feed-valve was a self-acting one , bub no water could get in when the engine was not at work . It was dangerous to allow a large firo to remain under the boiler from one o'clock to a quarter to three without the engine being at work . Thfe engineer had the poffer of turning water into the boiler or into a cistern . Supposing the plates at the time to be red hot , the effect of turning cold water upon them would be to raise the pressure of the steam . —SOveral other witnesses having been examined , his lovdBhip summed up , and after a . shovt consultation by the jury they returned a verdict of Guilty . The prisoner was sentenced to six months' imprisonment with hard labour . —The trial lasted upwards of seven hours .
Manslaughtkk at Manchester . —William Harri ' son and Thomas Prince , two middle-aged and respectable-looking men , were indicted for the manslaughter of Thomas Hodgkiason at Manchester on the 9 th of March last , and John Miller was indicted with inciting them to the commission of that offence . —It appeared from the evidence of the witnesses that on the 9 th of May last tho deceased and the three prisoners , a man named James Hayes , and two men of the name of Brown , where in a public house called the Grapes , at Chorlton . upou-M . ed lock , near Manchester , between nine and ten o ' clock at night , of which house tbe prisoner Miller was the landlord . As they were drinking together some words took place between the deceased and Harrison , the deceased saying to him . " You are
working under wages , and you are a knobstick . " This led to a dispute about tho wages Harrison was receiving , Harrison saying he was getting 12 a . a week , and the deceased offering to bet him a sovereign he was not receiving soynuch , Harrison said he had not got so much money , and the deceased then offered to fight him for a sovereign in the morning . This produced an immediate row , Harrison saying he would give it him then , ami striking him a violent blow on the back of the head which knocked him down . They all went outside the house after this , and a general fight took place amongst them , in the course of which tbe deceased was knocked down , and Harrison and Prince kicked him whilst down violently on the stomach .
Whilst doing so , Miller , who was standing on the threshold of his door , cried out— "Go it ; pitch into him ! " The deceased , on getting up , complained of being hurt , and walked towards his home . On his way home he went into a public-house and had some beer , and got home about twelve o ' clock . Next morning he was engaged to brew for a man , but he was in such pain lie could only give directions . He was then compelled to walk with a stick , and died , nine days after , of gangrene , which the surgeon , who made the post mortem examination of his body , attributed to kicks and blows . —The Jury retired , and after an absence of an hour found tbe prisoner Harrison Guilty , and acquitted the other two prisoners . —Sentence was deferred .
GLOUCESTER . Mamwods Assault . —Thomas Smith , 23 , Richard Smith , 27 , and J Brown , 21 , labourers , aud marked in the calendar as able to read and write imperfectly , were indicted for assaulting , beating , and wounding one Joseph Jones , on tbe 15 th of July , at West Dean , in the Forest of Dean , and putting him in bodily fear , and robbing him of a metal wateh , a gold key , a gold seal , 2 s ., a Bnuff-box , and other articles . For Brown an alibi was set up , but failed ; and he and Thomas Smith were convicted , and Richard Smith was acquitted . Against the two former sentence of death was recorded .
Felonious Assault . — James Barker , aged 25 , was indicted for wounding Charles Barker , at St . Mary-de-Lode , in the city of Gloucester . —The prisoner and prosecutor were cousins , and were working as nailors for the same master . On the day charged in the indictment a quarrel arose between them , and tho prosecutor struck the prisoner several blows , upon which the prisoner snatched from the forge a heated rod of iron , and struck with it at the prosecutor . Unfortunately the iron penetrated his side and produced a wound , which for a fortnight afterwards proved to be a very painful and serious one . Mr . Cooke said he could not resist a conviction for assault in this case , but he submitted the felonious intent charged was not supported by the evidence . —The counsel for the prosecution coHcarring in this view t > i the case , a verdict of Guilty of the assault was taken ; and the prisoner having been suitably admonished by his lordship , was sentenced to two months' imprisonment and hard labour .

— - ^^" A Ship Dbstrotbd at Sea . —A serious loss at sea by fire was communicated on Monday at Lloyd ' s , the burning of the ship Jane , 700 tons burden , commanded by Captain Soule , bound to Glasgow froth Nlff York , and the combustible character of her cargo , consisting of 850 barrels of tar , 000 barrels of rosin , besides sixty barrels of spirits of turpentine , reudered her destruction fearful in theexcreme . The ship sailed for Glasgow on the 21 st of July . Two days after an alarm was raised , and on the crew taking off the main hatches , and hoisting a few barrels of resin out on to the deck , in order to make room for the men to get down , it was evident that a fire had broken out in the hold . The men , finding the smoke increasing , commenced throwing water on the cargo , which was continued for many hours
without producing any visible effect . The master then-caused the hatches to be replaced and made air-tight , aa also those forward and aft , the only remedy he had to check the fire . The ship was wore round , and all sail made for Long Island , where there would be a chance of scuttling her near the shore , but her destruction became inevitable . About five o ' clock her boats were got over the ship ' s aide , and everything ia readiness to enable the crew to quit at a moment ' s notice . They stuck to their duty till nine o ' clock . All hands were then withdrawn ; the flames had broken through various parts of the ship , and ere many minutes elapsed , one mass of fire poured forthi and reaching the three mas ? %
all were speedily on fire , from stem to stem , throwing a bright lurid glare over the Atlantic for miles . The body of flame that arose from the immense quantity of combustibles in the hold , when the decks were destroyed , was terrific . Ifc continued till three o'clock the following morning , by which time the ship was burnt down to the water ' s edge . She went down soon afterwards . The boats then put off in the direction of the land , and were picked up in safety by an American vessel , the Governor Begg on board of which they received every kindness and hospitality . The unfortunate crew lust everything they possessed . The ship and her cargo , it is reported , were not insured .

attendin « the chapel in King William-street , and gave an excellent character of the defendant , who was much respected , and had a good connexion in the neighbourhood , but the impression was that defendant was persecuted by the police for selling the Catholic Vindicator . The path on which the defendant stood was as broad as any in London , and witness would ngk tho magistrate what was the poor fellow to do if prevented from selling < he Vindicator to his connexions of the congregation ?—Mr . Hall said that the defendant had been charged before for a similar offence , for such ifc was , as muoh aa selling fruit on the pathway . Ho would disabuse the mind of the witness of the groundless idea that it y ; as because the publication was tbe Catholic Vindicator that he was persecuted by tbe polico , many of whom were Roman Catholics , but the publio pathway could not be obstructed . The defendant must pay a fine of half a crown , or go to prison for five days ,
MARYI 45 BOSE . — RoBBKr e . —Vfuiiam Clears was charged with having stolen a gold watch and chain , the property of Mr . M'Donald , - residing in Portland-street , Edgeware-road . —Prosecutor stated that between five and six in the afternoon of the 5 th instant , as he was walking along Bell-street his progress was impeded by the prisoner and others blocking up the footpath . He desired thorn to get out of the way , when some of the parties abused him , and as tho prisoner stepped forward to tako his part , he treated him to something to drink at a public house near at hand . Upon quitting it they repaired to two or three other houses , where they also partook of beer , &a . and while standing close to the King and Queen . Padding ton-green ,
prosecutor was asked by a female if he had loBt anything , whereupon , putting his hand to his waistcoat pocket , he found that he had been robbed of his watch and its appendages , their value being upwards of 16 guineas , The female alluded to had seen the prisoner draw something from his pocket , and then run off as fast as he could . Information waa given to tho police , and the prisoner , who was an old offender , was on Saturday night last met with and given into the custody of 281 D . The property had not been found , and in order to afford time for inquiry the prisoner was remanded . GUILDHALL . —Slop Coat Makino . —Mary Maskell was charged with illegally pawning four coats , entrusted to her by Mr . Kaye , of Aldersgate-« treet , to make up . The material had been sent to her a month ago , but not having been returned
at the proper time , inquiry was made , and the prisoner admitted having pawned them in Whitecrossstreet for 7 s ., and gave up tho duplicates . —On being called on for her defence , the prisoner ] said that the prosecutor owed her la . 9 < L , which he had not paid her , nnd that being entirely without money , she had pawned theco : its to keep herself from atarration . —In reply to Alderman Wire , the prisoner said she was paid 6 d . for making each coat , which took hor seven hours to finish , and out of this she was obliged to pay for the trimmings , which cost one penny . She had given security for the materials , and her securities were quite ready in take them out of pawn and restore them to the prosecutor . —Mr . Alderman Wire aald ho tho ugh c the most merciful course would hare been to have
applied to the securities instead of bringing the poor woman before him . However , as Whitecrossetreet was not in the city , the case was out of his jurisdiction , but he should advise the prosecutor to settle the uffair in another manner . He . himself would take care that the money should be forthooming . —The parties loft the court on this understanding , the poor woman full of protestations of gratitude . A Fashionable « Gent . "—George Ferguson , a fashionably attired young man , about twenty years of age , described as of GvanviVlo-place , Pentonville , traveller , was charged with the following assault : —Louis Buforfc , of 11 , Smithfield-bars , pastrycook , stated that about huLf-past eight , two persona , an aged man of tlic name of Barlow , and a respectable female of the name of lates , were looking through the window of his shop at the various condiments for sale , when tho defendant came up ,
pushed the old man on ono side , and on being remonstrated with struck him . The witness , seeing the conduct of the defendant from , his shop , weut out and told tho defendant he ought to be ashamed to strike a man old enough to bo bis grandfather , and that he could be no gentleman ; upon which the defendant struck him a violent blow on the forehead . Eventually the defendant was given into custody . —The assault was clearly proved by the old man Barlow , who appeared to be of weak constitution , and about seventy years of age , and Mrs , Ytues , who waa with him at the time . —In answer to Alderman Wive , the defendant said he sincerely regretted he should have conducted himself in tbe manner stated . He had nothing to say in its defence . —Alderman Wire said lie should fine the detendant 20 s . for each assault , and he hoped it would bo a warning to him as to his future conduct . —The defendant paid the fines , and was liberated .
The Ancient Order oy Foresters . —Mr . John Howe Gordon , the late Secretary to a branch lodge of tbe society of the Ancient Order of Foresters , was summoned before Alderman Lawrence for unlawfully withholding a balances of £ 570 , the money facts of the trustees on behalf of tho society . —Mr . Ballantine , in opening the case , briefly stated it as follows : —Defendant for a considerable period held the appointment of secretary to tlio lodge in question , and about two years ago a split took
place in the society , and a great many members separated themselves from the principal body anil formed themselves into a distinct society , at the same time putting in a claim to certain funds held by the other parties . Ifc was found on , the accounts being audited that defendant had a considerable balance in hand , whioh he was requested to transfer to the trustees in tho usual manner . This , however , he refused to do , and on being pressed , he put in an account , bringing in the society indebted to him about £ 300 . It waa under tlicsu
circumstances he applied to the magistrate to make the order , according to act of parliament , for tho payment of double the amount claimed , which ordor , if not complied with , to be followed by a dlStress . warrant upon defendant ' s good ? , and if they provod insufficient ho would then ask for a warrant against the person .- —Gcorgo Kingcombo said : 1 am one of the trustees for tho society in question . It was tho duty of defendant ; as secretary , to see that the accounts were printed from the books after they had been audited , and to circulate copies to the principals of all the different
lodges . Tho balance-sheet I hold in my hand was drawn up by the defendant , and produced at the quarterly meeting . It waa afterwards audited by the parties appointed for that purpose . By this balance-sheet there appears , up to December 30 , to bo s . balance due of £ 507 5 s . Sd ., which is set aside for payment of funeral claims exclusively , and is apparently deposited in the London and Westminster Bank . There is also in the hands of the district secretary £ G 3 2 i . OJd . At the bottom of the second page it shows a balance in the bank in favour oi the
Widows ' and orphans'fund of £ 1 , 032 15 ? , 2 u ., a « u in the bauds of the district secretary , £ 51 10 s . 5 d . Tlic goods account amounts to £ 55 17 a . fd . ; but wo have received cheques for about £ 1 , 500 , and tbo money has been all withdrawn from the bank . The sum of £ 570 no w claimed- ia a general balance of tho two funds . I have repeatedly spoken to defendant about this account . On tUo 21 st of last April 1 asked him for the money he had in hand , and that deposited in the London and Westminster Bank . It is not a current but a deposit account , so wo required no banker ' s book ; ; md when money was yeqwed to be invested , indorsed cheques wero issued bthe trustees
y , which the bank retained as vouchers for tho payment of the money . Defendant ofieral to transfer the money into my h : inds , C 0 J 1-jointly with several mowbora of the sodetv , conditionally ; but this I refused , as the trustees ought to Ivnvo absolute control of the funds for which they wore answerable .

though there are not more than 7 , 000 at present in London . In October , ! 8 iS , we expelled 2 , 000 raembers , and then enrolled the society , and retained defendant in our servines a 9 secretary . —Cross-examined : The 2 , 000 members formed themselves into a society but did not register it . There is a dispute between the two societies with regard to a fund of £ 2 262 , which is entered and carried forward in every balance-sheet and printed account aa an unavailable fund , in consequence of a distringat having been placed by each society upon it ; but that is quite distinct from the balance in question . The auditors passed the accounts hitherto , but tbe secretary published them . Subsequently defendant informed us that there was a page unaudited , and which I believe has been since inserted , but it only makes a difference of about £ 70 . I am the chairmanand threo days after tbe accounts are audited
, they are read out in my presence ; but in July the audit vraa not signed bgoause tho balance was lying in the London and Westminster Bank , and was not brought forward and exhibited in tho usual way . They called for the book of the bank , but defendant resigned without handing over the balance he possessed . —Aldemnn Lawrence recommended the parties to come to an amicable adjustment of their differences , which could easily be effected by defendant paying over the amount in dispute on reoeiving a boad of indemnity from the complainants against all other claims . —Mr , Ballautino said he was perfectly willing to agree to such an arrangement . —Mr . Spicer contended that defendant had expended the amount claimed by tho society , and that they were indebted to him , consequently he could not consent to any such arrangement . —The case was then adjourned .
WANDSWORTH . —Robberies . — Sally Winter , who has been several times examined on suspicion of being concerned in the South-Western Railway robberies , was again placed at the bar . —The prisoner ' s husband is known to have been concerned in the robberies , and £ 200 in gold was found on her when apprehended . —Mr . Beadon said that he could not remand her again , as requested by the prosecu tors , there being no evidence against her . His only course was to discbarge , the prisoner , but ho should make no order respecting the money or other property . —The prisoner here said , "I am innocent of all , so help me God . I am William Winter ' s
wife , and ho told me nothing . " —Mr . Beadon said she must have been aware hor husband had done something wrong when she concealed 200 sovereigns , which , as a working man , he never could have saved . —The constable Addington , who apprehended the prisoner , said that she had accounted for the 200 sovereigns by stating it was tho produce of a legacy left to her husband . —Prisoner : If ho did anything , he never told me ; he never made a confidant of me . —Mr . Beadon : I shall make no order about the money ; that must bo applied for to higher authorities . The prisoner is discharged .
HAMMERSMITH . — Mubdbbobs Assault . — James Dersey , aged 25 years , a tall , powerful looking fellow , described as a labourer , was brought before Mr . Beadon , charged with committing a murderous assault upon a man named James Diaper , by beating him upon the head and body with a spade . —Tht prosecutor attended , and appeared to be suffering from the injuries he had received . On Thursday week the prosecutor , who is a plasterer , employed in the erection of some new houses at the end of King-street , Hammersmith , directed the prisoner to bring him up some mortar , which he refused to do . The prosecutor was obliged to leave his work and obtain the materials himself . After he had prepared tho mortar , he turaed round , and
the prisoner threw some water upon it and spoilt tbo stuff . An altercation then ensued , in the course of which , according to the statement of the prosecutor , he slightly pushed the prisoner away . The prisoner used * very coarse language , and immediately struck at the prosecutor , who retreated , and in doing so fell over a quantity of sand , &c While tho prosecutor was lying upon his back , tbe prisoner stood over him , and struck him seven or eight times with the corner of a spade which he had in bi 3 hands . Some of the witnesses stated that the prisoner completely hacked at tho prosecutor ' s arms and body , until he was rendered insensible by the loss of blood . Several persons called out to
the prisoner to desist from using the spado , but ho refused to do so , and continued to beat the man with it . Blood flowed copiously from a wound on the left arm of Diaper , who succeeded in jumping up , and they then fought one round , the prosecutor striking with his right ai'm . In the struggle the spado was dropped , and the prisoner thrown down . The prosecutor was thoa taken to Mr . Parker , a surgeon , who dressed the wounds he had received . —Mr . Beadon said ho would most certainly have committed the prisoner for trial if the prosecutor had not struck the first blow , which there was no doubt he did , He thought the case had vesolvod itself into one of fine after the evidenc * tbai
had been given , and he should inflict tho full penalty he had power to impose . He fined the prisoner £ 5 , or two months with hard labour . The prisoner was locked up in default . MARLBOBOTJGH STREET . —BuROimr .-jHO . Adolphe was brought before Mr . Bmghara , charged with having committed a burglary in the house of Mr . Henry Bingham , auctioneer , 12 , Ryder ' scourt , Leicester-square . —Police-constable llryant suid be was apokea to by a female living at No . 19 , Ryder ' s-court , and in conseguenoe of what was said witness went to the house and distinctly heard that some person was in the passage , who soon aftcrwavds went up stairs . In a few minutes t ! ae landlord ( Mr . Binghiun ) made his appearance , and
on looking about it was immediately discovered that the door leading into the office had been broken open . Witness proceeded up stairs , and found the prisoner lying on a bed with his clothes on . Witness asked him how he came there ; but tho prisoner made no reply . The prisoner was then searched , and a quantity of copper money was fouid in his possession . Witness examined the premises , but could find no marks externally to warrant him in believing that tho house bad been broken into , but upon looking at tho fanlight over the stveet- door , he saw it was open , that it was large enough to admit a man , and that from the marks on the door posts , it waa evident entrance had been effected through }} the fanlight .
Witness also found a glazier 8 diamond in the possession of the prisoner . —Mr . Bingham , auctioneer , Ryder ' s-court , was awakened on Tuesday morning by a violent noise in his house . He got up , and on descending to tho passage , ho found the constable examining the premises . On going into the eountinghouse witness dl 8 COVOted that his desk had 4 ) eeu opened , and a quantity of coppers and a glazier ' s diamond , answering to tho article found on the prisoner , stolen . A small crowbar was found , which would no doubt have been used had not tho prisoner been disturbed . Witness reeoleeted tbe fanlight was open when he fastened up the counting-housa the ovevnight . —Tho prisoner reaeived his defence , and was fully committed . THAMES . —A Tuhk » Danger . —Nine Allah , a Turk , was brought before Mr . Yardley , ohftrged
with causing a mob of persons to assemble , and with being disorderly , in Ro 3 emary-lane , Whitechapel , at four o ' clock on Tuesday morning . The prisoner , who was stated to be a person of high ranK in his own country , was dressed in full Turkish costume , and wore a very large and hand * some turban , richly embroidered . He refused to uncover on a motion being made to him by one of the officers , nnd he was permitted to wear his head gear . It was somo time before he could be pvovailed upon to enter the dock were persons charged with felonies and with being drunk and disorderly are generally arraigned . At last he ascended the stops , stroked his long and flowing beard , and mado his salaam to the magistrate . — It appeared from the evidence of polico constablo Walter Mashfovd that at four o'clock that
morning he met with the defendant , in . Rosemary-lane , surrounded by a mob of disorderly characters , who were much amused at tho gesticulations of the Turk , and the gibberish lie uttered , which hia heavers could not understaud . lie had a razor stretched forth in his right hand , and he made signs that he intended to cut some one with tho weapon , He would , however , have found it very difficult to havo carried his threat into execution , for the edge of the razor was very rough , and not sharp enough to cut paper . The policeman , believing tho Turk had broken one of the precepts of the founder of his religion , and had taken too much wine conveyed him to the station-hottse . At that time there wero two leather bags fastened to his girdle , ono on the right side , containing hi 3 naners
a passport , brush , comb , soap , and other thin « 8 necessary for making his toilet , and the other , 100 pieces of gold and silver coin , consisting of piastres dollar , half dollars , and other foreign money WhSd ** J ; , - , EnSUs ! l money .

THE WOLTERHAMPTON TIN PLATE W 0 R < KBRS PROPOSED ACTION TO DECIDE A POINT IN THE COMBINATION LAWS .
A meeting was held . it the Railway Inn , Deang . gato , Manchester , on Tuesday evening , composed of delegates from the various trades , to take into consideration what steps should be taken in reference to Mr . Justice Erie ' s law , as laid down afc tho recent Stafford Assizes , affecting trades' uniona combinations . The meeting was attended by a great number of delegates . hir . White , a workman , presided . Mr . Burgess , a delegata from London , opened the business , and expressed hia opinion that the tin-plate workers of Wok vei'hauptoi ) , whose case was tried , at Stafford , were greatly wronged by tbe decision in their case . Ilo stated that Mr . Purry , the manufacturer , who brought the proaeeutioa , had been guilty of tha most arbitrary eomluct , and that what the
workmen had done was called for in defence of thtip rights . Mr . Roberts ( the People ' s Attorney General ) , who has had the conduct of the caso at Stafford on behalf of the workmen , was tho next speaker , and , having been called upon to state what would be the probable expense of an appeal to the Superior Courts , spoke at some length , lie Baid they were proposing to go to the Couvt of Queen ' s Bench , to establish Baron Holfe's law in contradistinction to Justice Erie's . Ho said Baron Rulfe , at Lancaster , in the " Queen v . Feargusr O'Connor and others , " and again at Liverpool , in the case of " Selsby v . Jones and Potts , " had Jaid ifc down that men might combine to persuade othera not to work for a particular master : whereas Mt «
Justice Erlu , at Stafford , had held , on the contrary , that to combine at all for sue / i a purpose was illegal . In the proceedings at Stafford about £ 1 , 400 bad been expended in defending tho workmen , tha greater part of which money had had to be lound by the lawyers themselves ; and if they were ta carry the case to the Quean ' s Bench , he would like to have the best counsel he could procure to argua the oase . Now Sir Alexander Cockburn , tha Attorney-General , has declared his own conviction to bs with the workmen in this case , and for that reason ho would like to secure that learned gentleman's services . But money would be wanted , and he estimated the cost of further proceedings at £ 2 , 000 , He expressed a strong conviction that tho appeal would be successful . A series Of l'esolll .
tious , exprGSsiiig an opinion that , tho Wolvei'hampton workmen ' s case ought to be taken up by the trades generally , and in favour of steps to give practical effect to the opinion , by means of subscriptions to raise tho required amount of money were passed before the meatiu g Bepurated
