HIGH WATER AT LONDON BEIDOL TIM DAT Naming, 3h. Nra Atteloom. Di. Wm To.moßsow Moran& ih. 12AL Ahdroooa. ad MA. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22. Br the general consent of moralists and satirists, a great city is the peculiar haunt of those who live by practising upon the simplicity of their fel lows ; not only as it affords them shelter and concealment, but as providing them, in the con stant change and renewal of the population, a perpetual supply of well-prepared victims. The records of our police-courts show from day to day that London at the present time deserves its cha racter as well as when JOHNSON described it as " the needy villain's general home." Some of our most popular writers have done their best to remove the old reproach that one half of the world does not know bow the other half lives, and the newspaper is doing the rest. It records, however, but a very small number of even that small pro portion of cases of fraud which are brought under the eye of the magistrate. There are some kinds of rascality, such as skittle-slurping, fictitious betting, horse coping, and the like, which are so stereotyped and familiar as to have lad their power of exciting curiosity. It is other wise with the later kinds of fraud, of which the recent growth of the cheap press has enlarged the scope and supplied the medium. The advertisement in our days has much to answer for. Comparatively little harm is done when it introduces Paterfamilias to an extraordinary bargain in the form of a first-class piano in • mag nificent case, made only two months ago for • professor, and now to be sold under peculiar cir cumstances for fifteen guineas ; or when an elderly young gentleman,with a suddenly acquired taste for horseflesh, gets a splendid chesnut cob for the price of • butcher's hack. But there is one class of per sons which one would think even the needy villain should spare. If there is one situation which should command our sympathy and goodwill more than another it is that of the young of either sex who are trying for the first time to find a position in this vast city —a place so eligible for the man of wealth and connexions, sodesolate and lonely for the stranger who arrives uncertain whether he shall be allowed to earn his bread in it. The crowds who throng our city thoroughfares during the hours of business, and give them that appearance which impresses strangers with the fierce energy of London life, were recruited in a great measure from the provinces. The places of • few of them in the great system of commercial activity were secured and fixed beforehand by the condition of their parents; but as to the greater number, and probably the most energetic, there was • time when they were anxiously seeking a position in which to recommend themse'ves to the confidence of em ployers, and had difficulty in finding it. An investigation w hich is now going on at G uildhall is disclosing the interior mechanism of a system of means of preying upon young people at the very time when they most need help. We have no fear of prejudicing the case of Mr. ItlaoutioLe and Mr. K MOSLEY, who will in good time have to answer more charges of swindling than we have space to record. But it appears on very sufficient evidence that under various names and at various places, and by different methods, • scheme for robbing young men has been carried on for a long time, and with no small success. The exaction from inquirers fur situations of • heavy fee for • worthless pretended registration has, it would seem, supplied a revenue sufficient to satisfy ordi nary cupidity ; but the chief use of the registration office appears to have been to bring and keep • body of young men under the eye of the chief operator, who selects from the most promising among them those who are to be his special and peculiar vic tims. As days pass on and no engagement offers itself, they become restless and communicative, and in this stage are in • proper condition to be sounded as to their means and the resources of their friends. If they have ready money, or can borrow, they are sure not to be turned away. Rather than that should happen, the man of business will remember that he is himself in want of a clerk, to whom he can pay a good salary, and who will, of course, as • stranger, not object to deposit • sum of money as • security to his em ployer. Or if this arrangement will not meet the case, he is certain to have • friend in a large way of business, in which the applicant with cash to invest can be accommodated both with • salary and with • share of the profit. At Guildhall, on the 3rd inst., • young man named Gaovss de posed that he had parted with 3001., taken a house, and married a wife on representations of this latter kind which had proved wholly false, the alleged business having no existence. Another victim stated that the prisoner had ob tained 501. from him in a similar way. A clerk from Srcaaa's Mercantile Agency de. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 22, 1864. posed that scarcely a day passed without complaints being made there against the same defendsnts ; and Mr. Lewis stated that there *ere residing in the country a great many persons who, having been deprived by them of all they possessed in Ile world, were now really too poor to pay their ex penses up to town. Of course, the present prose cution will do nothing to repair the injuries in flicted by the persons amused ; but it will answer the purpose which the magistrates must have had chiefly in view when they advised that it should be conducted by the City Solicitor, if it leads to a more thorough exposure of a system of successful fraud than would otherwise have been practicable. For, after all, it is little that the law can do to protect persons from the conse quences of their own imprudence. Young people who want to find places in London cannot too soon consider that the one quality which does more than any other to recommend a servant to the con fidence of his employers is the possession of that sound, ready, and self-reliant judgment in the ordinary affairs of life which men agree to deno minate common sense. No degree of technical skill, however high and rare, will compensate for the want of this precious gift. If a man cannot take care of himself and his own interests, be must not expect to be trusted by superiors or re spected by rivals. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-Jrn 21. _ _ _ THE BALLOT.

To-day the answers of the belligerent powees to the last proposition of the neutrals will be pre sented to the Oonference. The neutral powers— England, France, Russia, and Sweden—have sup ported the scheme of arbitration ; but of the three belligerents Austria alone, it is said, has shown any 'disposition to accept it. A refusal of the scheme of arbitration has, it will be seen by a telegram from Berlin, been already given by Prussia. 4 • federation, siiviea a commercial treaty, s literary conventicle, and three other docnmenta destined to regulate all frontier questions in a manner satis factory to the two count:is& The Prince of Orange is expected at Fontaine bleau to-day. The only bright spot which' relieves the sombre news of the Conferenoe is an assertion of the Moniteur du Soir that the reports on the subject from " Vienna" continue to be " most re assuring." I am puzzled to know why the Moviiieur gives this scrap of intelligence, which is in conflict with the lugubrious remarks of all the semi-official journals. I cannot suppose that its object is to enlighten. It means probably to affect candour at a cheap rate. The Bourse continues to be uneasy. Rente fell 10c. for cash and bc. for account, closing at Car. 90c. and 66fr. Mobilier fell 10fr. Railways were all 2fr. 500, to bfr. lower. The Memorial d'Amiens announces that the Duchess of Malakoff is enceinte, so that the title, which was supposed to be extinct, may after all be perpetuated. When the police invaded M. Garnier Pages' house, on Thursday last, they asked for his keys. He, knowing that as a deputy his person was in violable, and being determined to throw upon the government the whole responsibility and all the odium of its acts, refused to give them up. The police agents, who had provided them selves with locksmiths, thereupon broke open all his locks. M. Dreo, M. Gamier Pages' son-in-law, who lives in another floor in the same house, was not at home when the police called. They forced his locks without ceremony. I can assure you without the least hesitation that at this moment the government is greatly embarrassed to know how to frame a plausible justification for such a serious thing as wholesale domiciliary visits throughout France. The papers seized are of the most trivial description, and it is felt that a series of prosecutions based upon them would cover the authorities with ridicule. The French government cannot bear the re marks which I have felt it my duty to make on the domiciliary visits. I have to repeat to-day a form of words happily disused for some time : The Daily News is seized. DEPARTURE OFTHE YACHT DEERHOUND FROM SOUTHAMPTON.-(THIS DAY.) THE LOSS OF LIFE ON THE ALABAMA. (non OUR own coaassronnisr.) (sr mama" rzi.soaars.) SOU TLIAMPTON, WLDNICISDAY. The yacht Deerhound, which saved Captain Semmes, of the Alabama, left here this morning. The Hampshire Independent, published this morning, rejoices over the destruction of the Alabama, and denies that there will be a banquet given here to Captain Semmes, as stated in the London journals. It is now ascertained that about 30 of the crew of the Alabama were killed or drowned. Two of the Alabama's men saved by the Deerhound came from Wimborne, Dorset. Captain Semmes is a little better, and has gone into the country to recruit. T. Nslga 66 W.16.W. *sr** 23.41 ia W. Lel* l/9.89 68 N. W. Ardromaa 19.91 be N.W. Or«swasge 29.9164, W.

Letters from Rome, quoted by the Debate of to- day, say that Cardinal Antonelli has demanded of the Pope permission to return to Naples, his native country, to recruit his shattered health. It is said that the Pope has intimated to the cardinal that be would thus be exposed to acts of political restraint, but that the cardinal has nevertheless set out for Naples, and has been received at the frontier by the Italian authorities. THE ROMAN QUESTION. According to a letter from Turin, K Pepoli has left that capital for Park, charged with a semi official mission, the object of which is said to be to propose to the Emperor Napoleon a new mode of solving the Roman question, by transferring the provisional capital of Italy from Turin to one of the cities of the Marches or of Umbria, thus hav ing it as near Rome as possible. The project also involves a system of disarming and financial re form. In this it is easy to recognise one of the favourite plans of Count Cavonr, who said, in 1860, in a conversation just related by K Maxima du Camp in the Debate : I will attack Rome by railways, by the electric tele graph, by agricultural improvements, by establishing na tioaal banks, by gratuitous education on a large scale, by civil marriages, by the secularisation of conventual pro- perty, by the enactment of a motel code, embodying the most leeimat laws in Europe, and by the suppression of cor poral punishment. I will plans the spirit of molero expan sion face to face with the old spirit of obscurantism ; I am quite certain the former will triumph ; I will establish • blockade of civilisation round Rome; if she undergoes a modification, she will come to ;if she remains un changed, she will, by constant comparison, become so dis gusted with her state of inferiority that she wi' throw her self into our arms to escape destruction. (axcryra's REJECTION OF THE ENGLISH PRO POSALS BY PRUSSIA. FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE. itTiri 22. Prussia rejects the English proposals relative to the line of demarcation in Sleswig.

It is believed that the lad sitting of the Con ference will take place to-day, and that hostilities will be resumed on Monday. AUSTRIAN OPINION IN FAVOUR OF ARBITRATION. VIENNA, i 172111 22.

COURT OF CHANCERY (IRELAND) BILL The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, for IRELAND said that as the proceedings on this bill came to an abrupt close at the morning sitting yesterday, on the motion that the chairman should leave the chair being agreed to, be would now move that the house should to-morrow resolve itself into a committee of the whole house to consider the further progress of the bill. The hon. and learned gentleman said that this was a course of practice which was sustained by authority and precedent. Mr. LONGFIELD objected to the motion on the ground that there was no nt for reviving a bill when it had been once dropped by the chairman being ordered to leave the chair. In all such asses the bill was at an end, and could sot be promeded with further. Mr. BUTT in supporting the motion, contended that when the chairman left the chair without making any report it was perfectly competent for the house to recommit the bill, and referred to three cases in which a motion pre cisely similar to the present one had been agreed to under the manse circumstances. Mr. WHITESIDE said the motion that the chairman should leave the chair was analagous to the " prowlers question ;" and when the latter was carried it was possible, but certainly most unusual, to revive the bill during the same session. He thought that if the question was to be debated notice ought to have been given of the motion. Mr. GEORGE opposed the motion. The SPEAKER said that it was beyond the power of a committee, by an arbitrary vote, to extinguish a bill and take it out of the province and power of the house to proceed with it further. He had not the smallest doubt, having looked into the precedent', that where there was no report from the committee, it was entirely in the power of the bona@ to order the committee to meet again and further consider the bill. (Hear.) After a few words from Mr. Whiteside, Mr. Vance, and Mr. Roebuci, the motion was agreed to. _ _ JOINT STOCK COMPANIES (VOTING PAPERS) BILL.
