THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. THE CHARGE Ol SCUTTLING THE SEVERN. At the Mansion-house this morning the four prisoners Dean, Weld, Berwick, and Lionel Holdewortn, • ship and insurance broker, who formerly carried on business at Li verpool and London, were brought before Alderman m an ia, for further examination, upon the charge of wil fully destroying the Severn, for the purpose of defrauding the underwriters of 113,0001., the amount of policies effected upon the vesseL Mr G. Lewis again appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Wontner defended Doan ; Mr. Buchanan appeared for Webb and Berwick ; and Mr. T. Beard appeared for the prisoner Holdsworth. The evidence that was given was of the same character as that which was adduced on the previous examinations. A seaman named Whamww called, who stated, like the other witnesses, that the weather was perfectly fine when the Severn sprung the leak, and that there was no Appa rent cause for the mischief. He remained on board until just before she sank. Evidence was then adduced to show that Berwick was in the habit of frequently calling upon the prisoner Webb before the vessel sailed, and that appeared to be on very friendly terms. After a lengthened inquiry the prisoners were again re manded ; and it is said that other persona, who are alleged to have been concerned in the fraudulent transac tion, will be taken into custody. BOW STREET. STEALING COATS, &c., FROM HALLS. William Jennings and William Stewart, boys of 18 years of age, the former describing himself as a clerk, and the latter as of no occupation, were brought up in custody of police-constable Tooley, 189 E, charged with stealing from the hall of the house No. 1, Torrington-street, Torrington square. Tooley said be was passing along Bedford-place with the despatch bags from Clarka's-buildings to Hunter street station, when he saw the two prisoners on the opposite side of the street, carrying something bulky under their arms. A brewer's dray was going the same way as the prisoners and he followed behind that until he came up elme to them. When they saw him they ran away and separated at the corner of Bloomsbury-square. Witness pursued and apprehended Stewart, and the dray man captured Jennings. Mr. Thomas Alexander Pooley, of No. 1, Torrington street, analytical chemist, identified the coats. One of them belonged to him ;it was worth from 30s. to 2/. The others belonged to friends of his, who were in the house at the time. They dined with him that day. All four were taken from the ball. Witness had been wearing the coat produced that day, and bad hung it in the hall when he came in. Two of his friends came home with him, and the other afterwards. About a quarter-past 8 the note produced was handed to him. He came out to the passage, where he found a lady. She asked him if he had missed any emits, as she had seen a boy running round the corner, carrying some on his arm. Mary Ann Greenham,a widow, said chew s housekeeper to Mr. Pooley. About 8 o'clock on Monday evening the note was brought to her by a boy, and she took it to her master, leaving the messenger in the . She could not swear to the youth, but she fan; it was the prisoner Jennings. When she came out the boy was gone and the three coats had also disappeared. William Henry Bishop, office-boy to Mr. Walter, solicitor, 1, Southampton-street, Bloomsbury, said the prisoner Stewart called on Monday afternoon with a letter, undirected. Witness took it to the parlour, and the prisoner followed him to the door. Wit. nese called the attention of his master to this, and his master, after looking at the note said it was an unmeaning thing, and asked some ques tions of the prisoner, who gave some very unsatisfa tory answers. Mr. Walter observed that he thought the prisoner had " come for no good." The prisoner replied that be had " come for no harm." Mr. Walter detained him for awhile, but ultimately let him go. Mr. Inspector Griffith applied for a remand, as probably other charges would be brought against the prisoners. Mr. Pooley hoped the coats would be given up. It was not pleasant weather to go about without one's great coat. (A laugh.) Mr. Flower' ordered the coats to be given up, but said they must be produced again at the next hearing. Mr. Pooley promised that this should be done. The prisoners, who offered no defence, were remanded. CLERKENWELL. A POLICEMAN DISBELIEVE). • Mr. Mark Wade, a zinc worker and builder in an exten sive way of business at Tollington-place, Hornsey-park, was charged before Mr. Barker with disorderly conduct, and violently assaulting Police-constable James Elliott, 149 Y, in the execution of his duty. Mr. Ricketts, solicitor, of Frederick-street, Gray's-inn road, appeared on behalf of the defendant, and at his request the witnesses on both sides left the court. The statement of the policeman was to the effect that defendant struck him while in the yard of a public-house without any provocation, and that he (the policeman) once need his truncheon in defence. The account, how ever, given by his witness, an ostler, did not agree in se veral particulars with the complainant's statement. Mr. Ricketts said that this was a most disgraceful charge to bring against a respectable tradesman, and he had no hesitation in saying that it had been supported by perjury of the most gross description. He had witnesses in attendance, respectable tradesmen who would prove that the constable was the aggreseor, and all that Mr. Wade did was to push him back when he was attacking him with his staff. Mr. Barker—l shall dismiss this complaint as Ido not believe the constable or his witness. Mr. Ricketts said there was no pretence for the charge. He would call a witness to show that the constable first assaulted Mr. Wade. Mr. James Back, a seedsman and gardener, said he heard a disturbance, and saw the constable go close to Mr. Wade,' and then Wade said, " Don't tread on my toes ! " and pushed the constable from him. The constable then seized Mr. Wade by the throat and bit him several violent blows with his staff. His use of the staff was quite un called for. Mr. Barker dismissed the charge, and marked the sheet as follows :—" The constable's evidence was so directly contradicted by the witness ho called, as well as by a witness called by the defendant, that I dismissed the charge, and could not place any reliance on the evidence of the constable." WORSHIP-STREET. Mr. Robert Milner Newton, the magistrate appoin'ed on the removal of Mr. Major Wm. Cooke to Clerkenwell, took his seat on the bench for the first time this morning. WANDSWORTH. CRUEL ABANDONMENT OF AN INFANT. Ellen Lelia, • respectable-looking young woman, was brought before Mr. Ingham on • charge of abandoning her infant, 14 months old, outside the gate of the Wandsworth and Clapham Union Workhouse. This is the same child which, when only six weeks old, was left on the door step at the house of Mr. Murphy, the relieving officer of Battersea. The child was then taken into the workhouse, and some time afterwards the prisoner took it away. Subsequently the child was placed in the care of a woman named Leader, of North-street, Battersea, by the father, who promised to pay sa. a week for its support. He absconded, however, and did not pay the woman, who, on seeking the advice of the Board of Guardians was told to give the child to its parents, or the first one she saw. The prisoner was the first she saw, and she placed the child in her care. Shortly before 4 o'clock on the morning of she 12th of October the watchman heard the cries of a child, and on going out he saw the infant lying on the stones in front of the gate. Before he opened the gate the child had been picked up by a woman. The morning was very cold, and the child was suffering from the ex posure. It was also insufficiently dressed, having neither shawl nor hat to keep it warm. When the prisoner was taken into custody, she said they ought to look after her husband, as he was the one who ought to be taken. Mr. Wilson, for the defence, said the prisoner was a young woman who was deserving of sympathy, on account of the conduct of her husband. _ _ _ Mr. Ingham said he would have sympathised with her it she had not abandoned her child. .... The prisoner said her husband had absconded with another woman, leaving her to support two children. She held up another child, which she said she had to support by her own servitude. Mr. Ingham thought an attempt should have been made to make the husband responsible. He, however, remanded the prisoner for the attendance of the woman who picked up the child, and also to hear what Mr. Murphy had to siky respecting the case. On the application of the prisoner, the magistrate said be would take bail for her appearance. Yesterday, Messrs. R. Rawlinson,J. T. Harrison, and J. T. Way, the commissioners appointed by govern ment for inquiring into the pollution of rivers, held a public sitting at the offices of the commission, Victoria street, Westminster, to inquire into the state of the river Lea and its tributaries. The East London Waterworks Company, the New River Company, and the Lea Trust were represented. CHRISTENING OF THE INFANT CHILD OF VIS COrNT AND Vlgent*NTES.4 HllRT.—Yesterday morning the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Westminster, Dr. Manning, performed the ceremony of christening the infant daughter of Viscount and Viscount Bury, in the chapel of the Ora torians at Brampton. His grace was 'waisted by the Very Reverend Provost Knox and the Fathers of the Oratory.

The dealings in English government securities to-day are upon a very moderate scale, and Consols present no variation. The chief British railway stocks are also unchanged, while some of the foreign bonds have given way to a slight extent. Miscellaneous sharesare inactive, butthe imrortant advance which took place yesterday in Anglo. American is fully maintained. It is stated that this company will shortly declare a very satisfac tory dividend. The supply of money to-day has increased, while few bills are being offered for discount. The general quotation is called 33 to 4 per cent., but excep tional transactions have occurred at 33, or below the Bank of England rate. The im pression is general, however, that no alteration will be made in the official minimum at present, owing to the certainty that the inquiry for money will soon greatly increase, in connexion with the large payments always effected at the end of the year. Short loans on English government securi ties are obtainable in the Stock Exchange at 24 to 3 per cent. Consols are now quoted 884 to 3, ex div., for money, and 884 to 3, ex div., for the account (January 10). Spanish Certificates and Russian Scrip are fiat, and have declined per cent. ; the latter is called to 1 prem. Italian Bonds of 1861 are also 1 lower. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 58 to 59; 'ditto 1865, 334 to 3 ; Greek, 133 to 141 ; Spanish Passive, 191 to 20 ; ditto Certificates, 134 to 4 ; Italian of 1861, 55 to 4; Mexican, 184 to 4. United States 5-20 Bonds have declined 4 per cent., viz., to 702 to 71. Erie Railway shares are quoted 463 to 474, and Illinois Central, 77 to 4, showing no movement. Anglo-American Telegraph and Atlantic Tele graph 8 per cent. Preference shares are firm, at 154 to 164 and 33 to 4, respectively. International Financial shares are quoted 23 to 23 dis. ; London Financial, 194 to 184 dis. ; General Credit, 24 to 2 dia. ; Credit Fonder, 53 to die. ; National Discount, 93 to 4 prem. ; and Hudson's Bay, 164 to I. One of the features of yesterday was a rise of 1/. in Anglo-American Telegraph shares, and the fact that the speculative repurchases by which it was caused were prompted chiefly by so simple a matter as the transmission through the wires of the Pre sident's message, indicates how readily prices in the Stock Exchange would respond to any favour able symptoms, were such to present themselves. The half monthly settlement in shares and foreign stocks will begin to-morrow (" continua tion day"), and end on Friday. About 67,000/. in bar gold was sent into the Bank yesterday, in addition to 5,000 sovereigns from Lisbon. The mail steamer France has reached St. Na zaire, from Vera Cruz, with 146,5001. in specie, a portion of which is understood to be on English account. A resolution of the committee of the Stock Exchange, passed last week and confirmed yester day, with reference to the liability of brokers, , has excited a great deal of attention and dissatisfaction. The facts of the case lie within a narrow compass. A certain share holder in Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited) sold shares through a respectable brokers' firm, and, as the transferree refused to register, the seller, with a view to recover the amount of the call made upon him by the liquidators, is bringing an action against the firm of " jobbers," or dealers, to whom his brokers sold the shares, and with whose name he was of course made acquainted through its appearing upon the contract note for warded to him at the time of the sale. It appears that there is an old internal law of the Stock Exchange which provides that, if the principal of a broker brings an action against a dealer in respect of any transaction, the broker is to be held responsible, and, applying this rule without discrimination to the case now referred to, the committee have decided, by a large majority, that the brokers firm shall be held responsible to the jobber for the amount of the costs to which the latter may be put. The want of equity involved in such a decision is obvious. The broker has per formed all that could justly be required from him, and the fact of his having furnished his principal with the name of the buying jobber proves that he held himself out simply as u9ent in the matter, and not as assuming any responsibility. If the committee's view as to the liability of brokers to hold the jobbers harmless is to stand, it is appre hended that brokers are unwittingly committing themselves day by day to very serious liabilities in the event of transferrees declining or even ne glecting to register, while at the same time jobbers may be encouraged to allow any similar actions to go by default, instead of defending them, because they know that they themselves will be safe. The decisions of the Stock Exchange during the last year, or two have occasionally been severely criti cised, and one more will now be added to the ob noxious list It is stated that vigorous action is likely to be taken on the present case by a combi nation of brokers, actiug in defence of the common interests. Except in one instance, the whole of the large amount of East India and China paper which fell due on Saturday was well met. As regards the case referred to, it is hoped that the difficulty will be speedily arranged. Advices from Glasgow announce that Messrs. Liddell, M'Gillivray and Co., spinners and manu facturers, have stopped payment, owing to a dis pute amongst the partners. No intelligence had transpired, however, as to whether the firm would be liquidated or not. A meeting was held. on Fri day last, of the creditors of Messrs. Shand end Co., oil refiners, when the liabilities were computed at 62,273/., and the assets at 109,9091., showing an apparent surplus of 47,6361. The partners agreed to a sequestration, in accordance with the wishes of the creditors. A first dividend of Bs. in the pound will be paid on Friday next to the creditors of the Birmingham Banking Company. An enormous call is about to be made on ti.e shares of Barned's Banking Company (Limited), thus adding one more to the long list . of those recent sad experiences by which the public are now so effectually deterred from investing. The fol lowing circular has been issued by the Master of the Rolls in reference to the hearing of an appli cation on the part of the official liquidators of this company : Let all parties concerned attend at my chambers, in Rolls-yard, Chancery-lane, on Tueaday,the 18th day of December, 186 G, at 1.30 p.m., in the hearing of an applica tion on the part of the official liquidators of the above company, that a call to the amount of 401. per share may be made on all the contributories of the said company whose names are included in the certificate of my chief clerk, made in the above matter, dated the 24th day of July, 1866, and filed the 23th day of July, 1866. Dated this 6th day of December, 1866. ROMILLY, Master of the Rolla. Appended to the above circular the following note is given :—" The official liquidators will read, in support of the above applicati on, a j oint a ffi davit of James Edward Coleman and Harmoad Walcot Banner, filed on the 6th day of December, 1866."

The influx of visitors this morning proves that t the interest of the public in the annual exhibition at 1 i Islington has by no means diminished ; and as regards attendance, therefore, there seems no reason to doubt that the present show will fall behind its prede. canon. It is remarkable, too, that the country supplies as usual a large proportion of the specta tors, the early morning trains from different counties adjacent to the metropolis having been thronged with passengers on their way to the Agricultural-hall• The comfort of the public as regards freedom from dis agreeable smells is amply presided for by the liberal use of Sir William Barnett's disinfecting fluid, so that the most fastidious person is not prevented from enjoying the scene. As regards the sale of cattle, which usually forms a lead. ing feature on the second day, the arrangements imposed 54 by the government toprevent the spread of the cattle plague It have produced a marked effect in checking the bargains for le prize and favourite animals. This will be readily understood g from the following notice which is posted in different parts II of the building for the guidance of intending purchasers : et " Notice to Butchers,—By the order of the Privy Conn oil all cattle must be slaughtered within four days of the ti closing of the Show and within the limitsof the metropolis." Such a regulation or order necessarily places butchers in tl a novel and peculiar position, for however desirous they Si may be of displaying prize animals at Christmas, 31 they must consider well how they can dispose I( of what they buy, and whether purchasing would accord 91 with their course of business. A few sales, however, were u effected in the course of the morning. In class 1, Devon g steers, the first prize of 201. and silver medal, belonging to Mr. John Overman, was bought by Mr. Comfort, of Far ringdon-street ; while the second prize of 101. was bought by Mr. W. Smith, of Exeter. In Class 2 (Devon steers) the first prize, of 30/. and a silver medal, the property of Mr. Thomas Bond, became j the property of Mr. W. Stone, of the Junction-road, Upper Holloway. t In Clans 3 (Devon steers) the first prize, of 30/., exhibited by Mr. Walter Farthing, was purchased by Mr. Moss, of I Wormwood-street, City ; while the second prize of 201., which was obtained by Major-General the Hon. A. Hood, of Cumberland Lodge, Windsor, was transferred to Messrs. Connell and Co., of Knightsbridge. _ . The pig male seem to have gone off rather briskly. SMITHFIELD CLUB ANNUAL MEETING, (THIS DAY.) The annual meeting of the members of the Smith field Club took place at 1 o'clock, the Duke of RICH moND in the chair, in the Club-rooms at the Agricultural Hall. Among those present were Lords Tredegar, Wal- Bingham, Berners, and Feversham, Major-General Hood, Mr. Charles Barnett, Mr. J. Baldwin, Mr. Drnce, Mr. O. Wallis, Mr. Overman, Mr. Robert Smith, Mr. Torr. The Hon. Secretary (Mr. Brandreth Gibbs) read the report of the council, from which it appeared that the receipts of the year amounted to 2,6681. 3e., and the ex penditure to 2,9451. Is. 6d., making the excess of payments over receipts 2781. 18e. 6d. This excess, it was stated, arose from extra expenses occasioned by the cattle plague. It was added that there was 4,9711. now invested in Consols. On the motion of Mr. Moons, seconded by Mr. GEORGE TURNER, the report was adopted. The Earl of Hardwicke was elected president for the ear 1868. too 0/1 to 100 104 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 HO all 20 'lOO 9 too in Fol all I C. WO 1100 Mr. E. J. Reed, chief constructor of her Majesty's Navy, on Friday evening delivered a lecture on " Armour plated Ships," at the Mechanics' Institute, Plymouth. Judge Bramwell severely reprimanded the Hants constabulary a few days since for questioning prisoners when apprehended, so as to draw a confession of guilt from them. In two instances prisoners were acquitted because they were thus tampered with by the police. One policeman said that he was not aware he was doing wrong by questioning prisoners. PLURALITY OF VOTES AT ELECTIONS.—Last evening a paper by Professor Lorrimer, of Edinburgh, was read at the Social Science Association in the Adelphi, Mr. W. T. S. Daniel, Q.C., in the chair, on the principle of voting at elections. He said there were four schemes in point of principle in accordance with which the borders of political power may be extended. First, to give equal votes to an additional number of citizens, stopping short at a certain point. This, he said, was the scheme which for the present had taken exclusive possession of the public mind, and to which the objections in principle in the eyes of the constitutionalists are by far the strongest, as it em bodies the seeds of oligarchy, of democracy, and even of despotism. without giving any guarantee for the advent woe which belong to any of these forms of government. Secondly, to give equal votes to the whole community. To this form it was objected that it was founded on an erro neous conception of hiunan nature, and implied a violation of natural law. Resting on the assumption that all men are equal, it as founded on a falsehood, which it is vein to attempt to convert into a fact by a violent levelling of social conditions. Thirdly. A system of proportional voting introduced and extended beyond the limits of the present constitu tions, but only so far as to embrace a limited portion of the non-electors. By this means one of the faults of the present system would be got rid of, and a false principle of equality would be abandoned, and the suffrage, so far as it went, would be placed on a basis of fact. The gain both to order and to liberty would be great, however limited might be the extent to which the principle of graduation was applied, or the franchise extended for the present. To this there was the objection that a schema of partial graduation is that by maintaining -a fictitious boundary line where no natural boundary can be found, that it created an artificial separation between classes. Fourthly. Universal graduated enfranchisement, by means of which alone both the false principles of equality and finality which vitiate the first scheme in conjunction and the second and third separately are got rid of. A discussion ensued, in which Mr. F. Hill, Mr. R. A. Macfie, Dr. Pankhurst, Mr. Hastings, Mr. Best, and the chairman took part; after which the paper was ordered to be printed, and the meeting separated. SEIZURE or FENIAN ARMS.—Yesterday afternoon an important seizure of arms was made by Superintendent Stockdale, Detective Price, and other members of the Cardiff police force, consisting of six cases containing Enfield rifles and a complete stock of tools forasmith's shop, which are supposed to have been intended for the anticipated Fenian rising. The sues arrived from Birmingham about six weeks ago, and were addressed to the Rhyinney rail way station, Cardiff, to be called for. The appearance of the cases excited suspicion, and information was given to the police authorities, who deemed it advisable to wait, and, if possible, discover the consignee. The police, how ever, discovered that their intention had got wind, and they consequently took possession of the cases on Monday and conveyed them to the police-station. JuVENILEDRCNKARDS. —At the DoncasterPolice court on Monday a shockinf instance of juvenile depravity was brought before the sitting magistrates (the mayor and Sir J. Morley). Seven youths, whose ages varied from 18 to 12 years, were charged with committing aseries of extensive frauds from the goods yard of the Great Northernßailway at Doncaster, and their chief occupation appears to have been to search for wine, spirits, and boxes of cigars. For the past six months large quantities of wines, spirits, cigars, biscuits, silks, tobacco, and other goods have been stolen, and it was not until Sunday night last that the least clue could be obtained as to the perpetrators. On Sunday night, however, a signalman in the service of the company caught • youth named Haworoft in the yard, and his untruthful account led to his speedy consignment to the police cell. He informed the police of the name of • boy who was with him in the station yard, and this boy in his turn divulged the names of others, until something like • dosen were apprehended or suspected. It then transpired that the gang bad been long in the habit of stealing any kind of liquor, and only a week ago they carried off a case of wine that was Dein sent to Lord Houghton from London which they and, with other bottles, drank the , wine at leisure, BRITISH MO: mugs,. :Cliiverton Clitiord Aural.

THE LATE BISHOP OF CALCUTTA AND TLIZ EUROPEAN roPULATIoN.— But, if there was one point cha racteristic of his administration, and with which his name will be especially associated in India, it was his effort to provide for the welfare of a class unrecognised till lately in the limits of the old company's dominion. Scarcely had he landed when he was struck by the numbers and im portance of the European and Eurasian population of his diocese. Railroads, canals, agricultural, and commercial enterprise, were drawing, be found, every year numbers of Englishmen to India ; and for the families of these men, for that vast proportion who were unable to semi their children to England, means of education, or even of healthy, physical, or moral growth, were almost wholly wanting. The sight chilled him to the heart. Ile saw that, if there could be one thing fatal to the spread of Christianity, it was the sight o f a generation of unchris tian, uneared-for Englishmen , springing up in the midst of a heathen population. He felt that, if there could be one thing subveraive of our Indian empire, it was the spectacle of a generation of natives highly educated, and trained in missionary and government schools, side by side with an increasing population of ignorant and brutalised Europeans. As early as 1859 he seized on this question, and followed it up with characteristic tenacity. The sum raised in India as a thank-offering for the suppression of the mutiny he devoted, with the full approval of Lord Canning, to the establishment of a " Hill School," to be organised as nearly as possible on the model of an English public school. The work grew tinder his bands. Be urged its importance alike on the authorities in India, and on his friends at home, for be felt it to be a question which involved alike the progress of Christianity and the mainte nance of our empire. The one mark of affection which he desired and received yearly from the English school which Ibe bad more than founded was a liberal contribution in furtherance of the object which he had most at heart ; and in the last period of his life be was using every means, in conjunction with the Diocesan Board of Education, to se cure the permanent establishment o f th e three Rill Schools already founded, by raising the half of 25,000 f. t" meet the grant which government bad premised in the event of his doing so. It is earnestly to be hid that his many friends —and few have made and retained so many—will not &fish what they now look on as his dying wish, and that kis successor, whoever he May be. la strain every nerve to carry on the work.Matnialaa's Magarise for Deoraiber. r r Oa *bag 4201 e Iltk WS to Luta !..n sad taight IS mail we cla staie aka to the rder 011007 mew arid. ith the a the 4 tiOCC piso AP. lan I Is IWO 'Ed to titer s, 'PM r whdlr i s a iiimix I
