the corner of Blackberry alley and Locust street
conversing; while there a crowd came out of Mu
sical Fond Hall; saw a wrangling next door to the

derman Me.Miillin had a pistol in his hand by my
side; 1 said, "Mully, don't you do that;" just as I
said that Mr. Doran came up and gave me a blow;
I looked urouud and saw Policeman Wood lying
in the gutter.
Gross-examined I was not on my regular bsat;
was acting for Sergeant Jordan on the morning of
the tight; I was arrapi, but considered, from the
great number of men fighting, that it would be un
safe for me to use my revolver; I endeavored to
arrest Ahern, who had assaulted policeman Steele;
was not at the ball-room.
Policeman Wallace sworn. On Thursday morn
ing last, about fonr o'clock, I was called to Steele's
assistance by his whistle; went around to Musical
Fund Hall; Ovens said "There is the man who bit
my nose," pointing to Tobln; Ahern made for Steele
and caught bold of him; I had a pistol In my hand;
two of the crowd dragged me on to the sidewalk;
directly after this Steele said he was cnt in the
thigh j I then went over the street and found officer
Wood lying in the gutter; saw McMullln, Ahern
and Doran in the crowd during the fight.
Cross-examined. Policeman Steele discharged
One load from his revolver; I did not.
Policeman Merger sworn On Thursday morn
ing last, shortly after fonr o'clock, I was at the
Hall; a party came out of the bar-room; William
Ovens was standing near me; I was shoved out into
the street: soon after this saw some men come oat
of the ball-room and walk up to Dnponceau stres:;
saw officers Steele and Glenn have bold of Tobin,
trying to arrest him; directly after this Steele said
he was cnt; about this time saw McMulliu coming
across the street, with bis head cut.
Policeman Wood sworn On Thursday morning
last went to the assistance of policeman Steele;
found a crowd of men running him down; Mr.
Lister and Mr. Ahern bad hold of him; the latter
said he was a United States government detective.
Cross-examined Heard the report of one pistol;
the crowd were fighting when I got there; they
caught me just as I was drawing my club; Lister
held on to the club; Ahern ran across the street,
and came back again.
The testimony here closed. Lieutenant Con
nelly stated that both Steele's and Ovens' injuries
prevented them from being prvwmit at the hearing.
Defendants were held in Ssltioo bail each for a
further hearing.
A Fatal Appbat. Yesterday morning a party
of men, who appear to have been carousing all
night, got Into an affray at the corner of Ninth and
Vine streets. During the affair Henry Gideon re
ceived a blow. He fell, and when taken up was
found to be dead. The row occurred In front ot a
drinking-house. The body was taken to a con
tiguous drug store, and the Coroner was sent for.
His pbysictua made a post-mortem examination,
when it was shown that the cause of the man's
death was the result of a severe shock to his ner
vous syBtem. The blow that be received was a
very slight one, trom some man's hand. The vital
organs were In a state of perfect health. The man
was evidently good, though fifty-three years of
Hge, for thirty years more of healthful life. The
inquest will be held to-day. Five arrests were
made during yesterday of parties charged with
being concerued in the disturbance. Their names
are John O. Donnelly, Joseph Oroke, George
Body, Joseph H. Donnolly and James Donohue.
Tbey were all commute! yesterday, at the Sixth
ward station-house, to await the verdict of a Co
roner's jury.
Progress os 'ho Metrical S'Stem. The couirals
siou tunned to promote the Intro Juction of the
metrical system into Aubtria has resumed its
tattings at Vienna, under tho presidency , of
Karoii de Burp. The reporter, M. de Parmen
tier, concluded by recommending tho complete
ndopti m of the system which exists in France,
.without cuanse, iu order to thus join the erreat
metrical family of Italy, Belgium, Spain, Por
tugal, Holland, Russia, a portion of Switzor
land, and the Untied Htates, and Into which
JOnfilund would before loner enter. He there
fore proposed to adopt the metre, with Its deci
mal multiples and KiibdiviH'ons, and with H,
cODieuently, the lire, litro, and kilogramme.
jgBDAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, 186G.
THE TWINS.
In form and feature, lace and limb
I grew so like my brother
That folks got taking me for him,
And each for one another.
It puEled all, both kith and kin:
It reached a dreadful pitch :
For one of us was bom a twin,
And not g soul knew which.
One day, to make the matter worse,
Before our names were fixed,
As we were being washed by nurse,
We got completely mixed.
And so you see by fate's decree,
Or rather nurse's whim,
My broihcr John wts christened ''me,''
And I was christened "bim."
The fatal hkenes ever dogged
Our lookups when at school,
For I was ol ays getting flowed
If John turned out a tool.
In fact, year alter jear the same
Absurd mistake went on,
And when I died the neighbors camo
And buiied brother "John."
MISCELLANEOUS ITL2MS.
"Jlugby Junction," Dickens' Christina
story for ltfOU, i3 published complete in the
flltleth number of Every Sa'urdiy. As Mr.
Dickens' contribution M the stor this vesr
occupies a luiger poitionot thn volume thn
usual, it ii sate to predict that "Maaby J inc
t on'' will prove even more pop liar than any o
its predecessors. The first four lalns in iho col
lection are from the pen or tho inimitable
"L'oz." These epiBodc are written iu the
author's happiest veiu. ilany of the characters
introduced to tho leader will tak'i their places
in literature beside s jcIi Immortal rreanoniHt
"Mr. Pickwick," "Little Nell," "The Marchio
ness, ' and "Oliver Taint." The sketch cuiitied
"Uarbox Brothers" Is one of those delic ous les
sons which Dickens teaches so admirably. No
one can read it without strengthening his bL-Ue
In human goodness. "Voung Jacks m,"
"Pliabe," and "Lnmp," with hts perlo lica
' rounder."," become our personal friendi Imme
diately. "Little Polly," the lost child, whose
name is not T.Vits, is a conception a9 charming
as anything In tbat marvellous series of novels
which we sro never weary of perusing. Tae
whimsical description of the refreshment room,
with the stale pastry, au.l poor Mr. 8-vift, will
make ' Mughy Junction" a favorite stopping
place this year for many a deliarhted reader.
This ttory appears In Every Sarurdn seven
days previous to its appearance la England.
A preliminary meeting for promoting the
contemplated memorial to Lord Byron? hm
been held in Nottingham. The proportion roost
in favor was the erection of a bronze statue in
Nottingham. Mr. Walker susrgests Carlton street
(Swine-green), the scene of the noble poet's
first couplet:
"In Nottingham to n, noar to Swino-green,
Jjve as curst an old woman as ever was soon."
ns the most appropriate place. The top of
Market street was also mentioned ai a proper
place lor the statue. Thelollowimr resolutions
were unanimously carried : I. "Thv. it is
heartily desirable tbat an effort should be made
lor collecting a national subscription with a
view of ercctinc a memorial to Lord Bron." 2.
"Tbat it is desirable to form a provincial com
mittee, and that Mr. Down and Mr. Chapman be
the Honorary Secretaries " It was then ar
ian?ed to write to Lord Lytton, Lord Boughton,
Sir John Bowrlntr, Lord Brougham, Mr. Charles
Diekens, and othernoblemeo and gentlemen, 'or
support. When replies from the above have
been received, a public meeting will bo con
vened. A statement which has recently appeared in
the papers, that Mr. Swinburne would reply to
his critics in a preface to a new edition of the
"Poems and Ballads," is Incorrect. Under the
title of "Notes on Poems and Reviews," the
port, at the instance of bis present publisher,
and by the wishes of private friends, has pre
pared a pamphlet, giving bis interpretation of
the poems objected to. Mr. Swinburne has
withdrawn all his books (rom the Messrs. Moxon,
and in future they wiil be published, along with
his "Poems and Ballads," by Mr. Hotten, of Pic-'
cadilly, who will shortly issue Mr. Swinburne's
new book, "Essays upon the Life anil Character
of William Blake, tho Artist and Poet." A
volume of ciiticisra on the much-censured
"Poems and Ballads," by Mr. W. M. Kossetti
(brother of Miss Christina Rossetti, the poetess),
will be issued by the same house in a few days.
At a literary dinner in London, where
Tharkeray and Angus B. Reach were ois-a-tx's at
tho table, Thackeray who had never before met
Mr. Reach addressed him ai Mr. Reach, pro
nouncing the name as the orthography would
naturally indicate. "Ite-ack, sir Re-ack, if you
please," said Mr. Reach, who Is punctilious
upon having "vs name pronounced in two sylla
bles, as it b spelled Kc-ak. Thackeray, of
course, apology ed, and corrected his pronuncia
tion; but in the course of dessert, he took occa
sion to hand a p te ol fine peaches across the
table, saying in a tone which onlv he possessed,
"Mr. Ke-ak, will you have a pe-ak ?" Whether
Mr. Re-ak took a pe-ak or a pique, is not re
corded. Under tho title of "Twelve Champions of
Revolution," a work has been published at
Berlin, giving the blopraphy of twelve men of

Mr. Robert Buchanan has brought action
a-'ainst Mr. Bentley, the proprietor of Temple
Bar, for publishing his name as the author of
a poem called "Hugo the Bastard." Mr. Bu

not come up to his usual standard, in merit.
