THose persons who have no time nor inclination to read the police reports in the daily newspapers generally miss some of the most instructive chro nicles of the age. Such reports are often more amusing than fiction, and more reliable than history. They give us pictures of manners, cus toms, habits, and morals, remarkable for their simple truthfulness. They occasionally lay bare the hidden machinery of society with the most delightful freedom, the pleasure of the spectators being increased by the knowledge that the painter often paints with an unwilling brush. A revela tion wholly unexpected, extracted by crow-ex amining ingenuity from a floundering witness—a turning of the tables, by which the prosecutor be comes the defendant, and the defendant almost the prosecutor, are always gratifying to listeners and lookers-on. The gratification is increased if the witness is reputed to be clever, because cleverness is an assertion of superiority, and it is pleasant to see it attacked. It was our duty yesterday to record a case in which a small mining company was suddenly put upon its trial, and in which a Mr. Jxssiz JOHN TusriN, who entered the court an indignant prose cutor, was induced to favour the world with con fessions that rivalled Rousszen's in bewitching candour. The morning after a speech at which reporters are present is generally an anxious time for the best orators amongst us, and we rush to the earliest editions of the journals to see whether we have made ourselvcs famous or ridicu lous. We can imagine Mr. Tuerrix, the day after the examination, sitting up in bed, surrounded by half-a-dozen proofs of his yesterday's folly, shutting his eyes for a moment and trying in vain to think that he had been dreaming, and struggling hard against a conviction that he had made a fool of himself. We can imagine him trying to extract a little comfort from the fact that he went boldly into the witness-box, and so disappointed those who expected that he would have been more cau tions. The substance of Mr. TUSTIN'S confessions, put in a narrative form, ought to convey a useful lesson to dabblers in mining property. It appears that this gentleman, whose legitimate business is that of a chemical colour manufacturer, became the owner a few years ago of two lead mines which were not very productive. Judging that all they wanted was a certain amount of capital to "develop " their resources," and that a given quantity of gold sunk would bring up a given quantity of lead, the idea struck Mr. TusriN of getting up a com pany topurchaae and work the property. In carrying out this idea the projector fell in with a Mr. Jom JENNINGS, F.S.S., who first became a shareholder, paying 2001., then a director, receiving no fees, and finally secretary at the moderate salary of sixty pounds a year, payable weekly. The enter prise became dimly known to fame as the North Carrock Mining Company, and offices were taken for it in Tokenhouse-yard. Though the difficulties of starting a public company are much lightened when a projector has something to sell, because then there is a person who has a direct interest in paying the preliminary expenses, the North Carrock Company does not appear to have thrived. its nominal capital was to be 20,0001., in 4,000 five-pound shares, but it is not clear that many of these shares were taken up by the public. A prospectus, in which figured a number of presentable but not properly qualified directors, was issued in 1860 ; but this had borne little fruit even by February, 1862. The humble de posit of five shillings a share was only extracted from a few believing shareholders, and the directors melted away, leaving only Mr. Twang and a few faithful adherents behind. One of these was Mr. JOHN JENNINGS, F.S.S., Mr. TUSTIN, jun., a son of the projector, who may be left out of the account, and a gentleman with the very suggestive name of Mr. W. BAYLEY BRAY. Finding himself so thinly supported by confiding shareholders— having, in fact, no active partners in the specu lation except Mr. JENNINGS and Mr. BILLY, the old saying seems to have occurred to him, that two is company and three is none, and he therefore carried a resolution to get rid of the secretary. A quarrel seems to have taken place between them as to the comparative merits of the " Dry Gill " and " Roughten Gill " Mines (the two mines sold by Mr. TUSTIN to the "company "), and the secre tary appears to have spoken disrespectfully of the first mine, whose name certainly does not promise a stream of riches. For this un becoming behaviour he was formally die charged by an "extraordinary" meeting of the shareholders, consisting of two men and a boy, but his triple character made him very difficult to deal with. The secretary was discharged, but the director and shareholder still remained, with all their powers of " self-help" now stimu lated to the utmost. Mr. Jrarwirtos took his leave of the ungrateful company as a paid servant with a few arrears of salary, and satisfied his pocket as an indignant shareholder and unpaid director by securing 1991. Bs, 11d. For this act of " self-help" he was brought before Mr. Alderman GABRIF.L at Guildhall, and charged with robbery and embezzlement. Mr. Toms was put in the witness-box to sustain the charge, and under the examination of Mr. Lewis, jun., he gave, in substance, the foregoing history of the North Carrock Company. The more we look at this case, and the interests depending upon it, the more astonished we are that Mr. Twirls should have so exposed his trans actions for the chanceof getting back 1991. 81.11 d. The " Dry-Gill" may not be very productive, the "Roughten-Gill" may only be a little more produc tive, but surely the two mines, still in the market, can afford to pay two hundred pounds to keep up their character. The extraordinary candour and communicative ness of Mr. TUSTIN, in the witness-box, are much in his favour, and we cannot look upon him es a mere adventurer. He has property to sell, which he wishes to dispose of at the highest price, and the most likely way of gratifying this wish seemed to be by using the machinery of a public company. According to his own evidence he has used it badly, and has failed to attract the necessary amount of capital. Even with money at two per cent., and with crowds of people always eager to rush into the very business which they know nothing about, the North Carrock Company has not floated, but is as heavy as its own lead. What Mr. JOHN Jr./omits would have been if the spe culation had shown more vitality, it is not for us to say. As the Aldermen declined to examine him, we must reserve our judgment. We are certainly not disposed to receive him as an ill-used martyr, until we know a little more about his connexion with the company. J udging by the evidence given before the court, he seems quite as able to take care of himself as Mr. TUSTIN. The whole of the directors must be looked upon as rowing in the same boat. They quarrelled upon grounds which are differently stated by both parties, and the town is amused for a few weeks by Mr. TuirriN's confessions. The shareholders, if there are any beyond the little circle just described, are as much injured by what Mr. JENNINUB has done as by what Mr. Tunny has failed to do, while the latter gentleman seems to have shown some degree of good faith by speaking about re-purchasing part of the mining property. The worthy Aldermen would probably have done better if they had controlled their feelings, ex amined both sides, and thus allowed us to hear a little more of these instructive disclosures. trbe Court. COBURG, Ocr. 3. The Queen, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, Princess Helena, Princess Louise, Prince Leopold, sod Prinoess Beatrice, left Itheinhardtsbrunn at 2 o'clock this day, and arrived at Coburg at six o'clock. Her Majesty was received at the station at Coburg by the Crown Prince and,Prinons of Pruaaia, who acompanied her Majesty to the Palace, where the Duchess of Coburg re• oared her. The Crown Priocess with the Prince William, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Albert Henry of Prussia, had come from Rheinhardtsbrunn to Coburg earlier in the day. Her Majesty is as wall ea can be expected under the trying emotions of revisiting for the first time the birth place of the beloved Prince. Her Majesty has taken daily walks and drives, with the members of her family, in the neighbourhood of Rheinhardtabrunn, but is unequal to much exertion. The inhabitants of the neighbourhood have shown the greatest respect for her Majesty's feelings by refraining upon all occasions from intruding upon her privacy. The Queen's departure was delayed for two days by • slight accident which occurred to Prince Leopold. and which proved more difficult to cure than was at first expected. His Roy►l Highness is now quite recovered, and bore the journey remarkably well. Prince Arthur, who has been for some days upon • tour on foot in the Harm Mountains, isexpected to return to-morrow to Coburg.

(uarn's TILIGRAM&) AMERICA. ___.___ RIIMOURED INCREASE OF THE FEDERAL ARMY TO ONE MILLION OF MEN. APPROVAL OF THE EMANCIPATION PRO CLAMATION BY THE GOVERNORS OF SIXTEEN UNION STATES. NEW YORK, S. 2E, Evininta. (Per Bohemian, vi Quebec and Loodonderry.) No Fedorala have yet crossed into Virginia. The Confederates remain along the upper line of the Potomac. It is rumoured that another draught will be pro claimed to increase the Federal army to 1,000,000 men. The governors of 16 Union States assembled on the 24th inst. at Altoona (Pennsylvania), and ad journed on the 25th to Washington, where they presented an address to President Lincoln, express ing their determination to support his constitu tional authority, approving the emancipation pro clamation, and suggesting the expediency of raising a reserve force of 100,000 men. The Governor of Maryland objected to sign the address approving the emancipation proclamation. The New York Republican State Convention express profound satisfaction at the President's proclamation. The President has been serenaded at Washington, on which occasion he made a speech, saying that he issued the proclamation after full deliberation and under a heavy sense of responsibility. He trusted in God that he had made no mistake. It was now for America and the world, he said, to judge the proclamation, and, it may be, to take action upon it. The Chicago Emancipation Committee have published President Lincoln's reply to them, delivered on the 13th of thin month. The Presi dent therein states that he did not favour an emancipation proclamation, as it would be inopera tive if issued, and if the slaves were armed their arms would fall into the hands of the rebels. The New York World thinks that the President's change of policy is caused by a fear of foreign intervention. A portion of the emancipation proclamation was erroneously printed. The proclamation declares that the presence in Congress,on the Ist of January, of the members from the rebellious states shall be evidence that such states are not then in rebel lion, instead of the presence of such members being evidence that they have not been in rebellion. The Southern journals claim victory for the Con federates in the battle at Antietam Creek. The Confederate Generals Startel and Branch were killed. The Confederate force numbered 60,000 under General Lee. To avoid a flank movement by General M'Clellan, Lee withdrew his army across the Potomac. The Petersburg Express thinks that the majority of the people of Maryland are not disposed at present to join the South, otherwise they would have risen en masse. The Governor of Pennsylvania has discharged the militia lately called out. At New Orleans General Butler ;has ordered all foreigners to present themselves with the evidence of their nationality to the nearest provost marshal to be registered, as in the course of 10 days it may be necessary to distinguish disloyal from loyal citizens and honest neutral foreigners.

By information received from Peath and Vienna, it appears that serious efforts are now making for a reconciliation between Austria and Hungary. Se veral plans have been drawn up and submitted to Count Forgacb, who recently went to Hungary for the purpose of making himself acquainted with the real state of things. What the Hungarian party chiefly insisted on was the re-establishment of the oomitats or municipal councils of Hungary, as the natural precursors of a Diet which they said might be constituted without the slightest danger to the monarchy. Count Forgach admitted the desirability of re-establishing the comitate, but doubted whether the time was yet come for such an experiment. He recommended his Hungarian fellow-countrymen to persevere in their conciliatory views, and that he should be happy to make himself their mediator with the Emperor. The obstacles in the way of a reconciliation between the two countries are, on the one hand, the revolutionary party, who are powerful, energetic, and active. This party insist upon the complete carrying out of the laws passed by the Hungarian Diet in 1848 as the indispensable preliminary to any reconciliation. The exclu sively Austrian party at Vienna, of whom the late Prince Felix Schwarzenberg was the leader, is the other great difficulty. This party, who have great influence with the Emperor, are anxious to concentrate whatever na tional autonomy is now left in the separate king doms of the empire in Vienna, and to enter the German Confederation with all the weight of the Austrian Empire thus concentrated and consoli dated. It is said that the bases of • compromise are admitted, and that the leaders of the liberal conservative party in Hungary, who are anxious at the same time for the independence of their country, and for its "indissoluble and indivisible" union with the other hereditary provinces of Austria, are engaged in a negotiation with in fluential men in Vienna whose intentions and efforts are known to and approved of by the Emperor. Chateau do Dampierre which he was wont to ex amine in the intelligent company of the psi tner of his life. The only condition of the gift is that the collection is to be kept separate and to be called the Collection de Luynee. A published correspondence gives an account of an unsuccessful attempt of M. About to settle the conditions of a duel between himself and M. Champ fleury, a critic whom he called out for an offensive expression. M. About's original seconds proposed a meeting with swords ; this mode of satisfaction was refused by M. Champtieury's friends, who in sisted upon pistols, and thereupon M. About's representatives, not choosing to waive, on the part of their principal, what they describe as the un doubted right of the "offended party," viz., the choice of weapons, renounced their mission, and published a report. Thereupon M. About chose two new seconds, who caused M. Champfleury to be informed that M. About, though the offended party, would accept the arms of his adversary ; but that inasmuch as M. About's dignity would not permit him to quit the field without a result, it must be stipulated that if the first inter change of fire should prove ineffective swords should be resorted to until blood was drawn. This very accommodating proposition having been positively refused on tLe part of M. Champfieury, it does not at present appear that the parties will be able to join issue. lam not sufficiently versed in the French code of duelling to know whether M. About's seconds are right in their law, but it seems . to my humble apprehension that common sense is the other way. The "offended party" is only another term for the challenger, and it is surely a fearful doctrine that a duellist should have a social right to summon a man with whom he is angry to come and be killed by a particular weapon in the use of which the assailant may have attained a special proficiency. POLAND. The Opinion Nationale has the following : An incident which has just occurred demonstrates in a convincing manner wby the Poles cannot content them., selves with the reforms as yet accorded. The [seta are these :—Charlee Nowakowald, who was arrested on the Bth April, 1861, passed during the last year before all the tri bowls, and in every case was acquitted. The Senate, whose judgment is final, has declared him innocent, and I ordered him to be set at liberty. The military authorities replied to that sovereign decree by mad. ing Charles Nowakowski to Siberia. This is an enormity which must be denounced to Europe. Wen ceslaus Nowakowaki, his brother, addressed in July last a petition to the Grand Duke C onstantin, observing in it that his brother had been acquitted by the Tribunal of First Instance on the 21st Deember, 1861 ; again, on appeal, on the 21st February following ; and, lastly, by the Senate on the 2nd and 3rd May."l hoped," he said, " that my brother, who was detained in the citadel of Medlin, menaced with a serious chest disease, would have been at length set at liberty, conformably to the decision come to in the name Eof the mperor by the highest court in the country. What was my astonishment on learning that my brother had been transported to the farthest part of Siberia, to the town of Krasnojorsk, 3,500 miles distance from Warsaw. A proclamation of the Lieute nant-Governor, on the 21st February, stated that acts com mitted before the proclamation of the state of siege should not come under the jurisdiction of the military tribunals ; I therefore my brother, who was arrested before the state of siege, has been const antly in prison, and cannot have trans gressed the laws in any way. Thus, after an imprisonment of fourteen months, he is sentenced to a fearful transporta tion, contrary to all the decisions of the tribunals.. I there fore humbly supplicate your imperial highness to deign to order that my brother shall be restored to liberty, and his return to his native land be permitted." The Gravid Duke replied to Wenceslaus Nowakowski, by the commissary of his quarter, that the petition did not merit being taken into consideration. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) WIDIIINIDAT. 00TORIM 4 $ LII. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (moil ova owl; PARIS, TUESDAY EVEMIO. It is confirmed that the Emperor and the court will arrive at St. Cloud to-morrow evening. A ministerial council will be held the next day, previous to which it is expected that the Emperor will receive the Marquis de Lavalette in a private audience. There is a very strong impression that this minister will not go back to Rome. Correspondence makes the curious announcement that before the Emperor's departure from Compiegne he will decide what sort of a reception is to be given to M. Rattazzi, who will not arrive in Paris till after his Majesty's departure for that chateau. Bunier says more over : This journey of M. Ratters' is a very serious affair. It ap pears to be certain that be intends to submit to the Tuileries the condition sine qud son of thevitality of his ministry. If his proposals should be accepted, he will present himself to the Italian parliament in an attitude of triumph, and will easily overrule all extreme opinions and all presump tuous individualities. But in the contrary case—if he should bring with with him no promise relative to Rome, it is believed to be certain that he and his colleagues will resign. Such an event is sufficiently grave to justify the anxiety which the prospect of it does undoubtedly came in the political world. The Nord of Brussels contains the following news (which I have not yet seen confirmed in any French paper) concerning the late commander-in-chief of I the French army in Mexico : General Oouot de Lorences has just come to a serious resolution. Although only eirt years of age he Las applied to be placed on the retired list. He has not thought it right to retain the situation in which he has been placed. From being commander-in-chief be has become general of the third rank, as General Bazaine is his senior. This deter mination has produced a certain effect in the French army, but in no way to the disadvantage of the gallant general. The Bourse has been greatly agitated, and there is again a heavy falL The great rise of last week having been entirely artificial, and provoked by great capitalists acting in concert with the govern ment for purposes not fully disclosed, has brought forward a great many sellers for money from the provinces, who anxiously catch at prices not re cently familiar to them. The Rents fell 80c. for cash and 550. for account, closing at 71fr. 20c. and 7lfr. 80c. Mobilier fell 57fr. 50c. The Italian Loan fell 85c. The Southern Railway rose 7fr. 50c. ; there was little change in the other lines. The Duke de Luyues—one of the richest mem bers of the old nobility now left in France—has just made to the Imperial Library in the Rue Richelieu the munificent present of his vast and recherrii4 collection of bronzes, marbles, and coins, the money value of which is said to be upwards of 60,0001. sterling. The duke has been in low spirits since the death of his wife, and it is ru moured that this grand gift to the nation is owing in great measure to the pain which the owner felt . in walking alone through those galleries in his A ff.

THE ORANVELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER AT NEWCASTLF., NEWCASTLE, TIMADAT. To-day Mr. Gladstone came to Newcastle, and of ter visiting the church of St. Nicholas, the High Level Bridge, the monumeot recently erected to the memory of George Stephenson, sand other places of interest in the town, he attended a banquet given in his honour in the New Town halL All the tickets for the dinner had been sold several days ago, and there was a large number of persons from all parts of the country who were anxious to be present, Lot who could not get admission for want of room. After the dinner the side elevations and galleries were filled with lad e. me Mayor of Newcastle (Mr. J. Armstrong) presided. Mr. Headlam, M.P., Mr. Beaumont, M.P., Mr. loghain, M.P., Mr. Hutt, M.P., Sir W. Atherton, ILP., Sir Walter James, air W. Armstrong, and several other gentlemen sat at the principal table. After the cloth was removed, the usual loyal toads were proposed and duly honoured. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of Mr. (:6,1. stone in highly eulogistic terms, referring especially to his repeal of the paper duty awl the furtherance of commercial treaties with other nations, from wLich the district reaped so much benefit. Mr. Otanorosr., on rising to respond, was received with load and protracted cheers. After acknowledging the compliment paid him, he spoke of the laborers of a public earner, its toils and responsibilities. Its reward wee not always in the present, but in the future ; and to the future it was most wholesome that a public man should look. Though a member of the government, be Lad freedom to speak of public affairs, and as a member of the govern. went he would take credit for his own service" in pro. moting the French Treaty, though to the Emperor of the French and Mr. Cobden that treaty was mainly due. They were the two distinguished men whose position on the one hand, and sagacity and ability on the other, had accomplished it. That treaty had been a swear helm e t all expectation. The commercial experience of the public knew it as rarely as official documents showed it. The trade, foreign and colonial, of England, which was before the treaty of the value of nine millions, was twelve months after 21 millions. The increase of the export cf British produce was no less satisfactory. On the average of two years before the treaty the value of trade is metals and themes was two millions—sow it was six millions. The particular commerce of Newcastle had bene fited three hundred per cent. The exports to America had fallen off in twelve months nine millions; but the French treaty of commerce had supplied this cola. mitous deficiesey. Every ten or twelve millions of in messed trade gave us an increase of a million of duties, arising from tax-paying commodities imported. In a peen' a sense, therefore, the result bad more than compensated he nation for all its sacrifice on accountof the treaty, while the moral effect wee even greater than its pecuniary result- France took its stand on free trade ; it added its influence to England's, and new treaties with other nations had arisen in consequence, and he believed its effect upon the future ponce of the world would be of the utmost signi dunce. When parliament met it would be its duty to retrench, as far as possible, the public expenditure. He reminded the company that the paper and hop duties had been repealed, and the income-tax reduced from 10d. to 9d. These facts had to be taken into account in esti mating the improved revenue of the country ; and consider• ing also that one great branch of the industry of the country had been smitten by a blight it was a matter of great eat.. faction that the revenue had increased as it had. Referring to the distress in the cotton manufacturing districts, he paid a high compliment to the working people, who had been thrown out of employ by no fault of their own, and expressed doubta if any class of the community would have borne any similar calamity with equal fortitude sod self. denial. He defended the manufacturers against the insinnt. Mous cast upon them, but condemned those who made , wealth an object of worship and neglected its wise use, remarking that the manufacturer who sold his cotton clandestinely abused the rights of property. Relief ought to be given to the workmen without humi liating conditions. The workpeople, who were innocent as children, had borne their suffering like heroes. He hoped that no man would be deprived of the franchise because he had accepted parish relief, and that when parliament again ooesidered the question of the franchise: the conduct of the men of Lancashire would be taken into account. Referring to the war in America, and the subject of slavery in that country, he expressed an opinion that the slaves would he better off if the Mates were separated, as, on the liPie of union, the laws against them were enforced by the whole power of the Federal united government. Our neutrality had told more against the South than the North. At the same time we ought to judge tenderly of the North. She has gem drunk the cup of bitterness before, and acted end spoke therefore under exaggerated feelings. But let us (said the right hon. gentleman) bear with them ; let us not forget the reception they gave the Priem of Wales, which be regarded as a proof of the settled good will of America to England. There could be no doubt that Jefferson Davis had made s nation of the South. Mr. Gladstone then proceeded to speak of the South as pursuing a successful course, an opines which appeared to cause great sensation. Tuning to the Italian question he said that Lord Famerstee had been me of the earliest to recognise the new Italim kingdom. Lord Rumen had no less faithfully represented the sentiments of England upon the subject. The coaled of the people of Italy gave them claims to public con. fidenee, especially in their recent refusal to follow the run they best loved, when they felt that to do so might bare endangered the peace of Europe. After expressing a (event hope that this long agitated Italian question would ere long reach its final stage, Mr. Gladstone ended by propoetog the "Health of the Mayor," referring to his connection with the press, which be praised as the friend of the people, the safeguard of liberty, and an effectual check upon minis terisl action. CHURCH•BATE CONTEST AT DORKING. A vestry meeting to make a church rate was bald at Dorking on the 3rd inst., when the chairman (the Vicar of the pariah) refused a resolution moved by Yr. C. Rose and seconded by Mr. T. Marsh, proposing the ad• journment of the vestry till the 7th of November next, to allow an opportunity of investigating and reporting on the liability et the ecclesiastical districts into which the Feria is divided. On the proposal of a motion to adopt the churchwarden's estimate, an amendment was moved br Yr. Cole and seconded by Mr. W. A. Marsh, to expunge ems of the items and reduce others. The amendment. el being put to the vestry, wu declared to as cured. and a poll wu then demanded by the churchwardens A rate of 2d. in the pound was then proposed, when Rase protested against the irregularity o the ehainmn e allowing such a resolution to be made before the estimete was disposed of. On the motion for the rate being pot w the vestry, the chairman declared it to be loft, snd second poll was demanded by the churchwardens The polling commenced at the vestry, and was resumed at Monday. At the declaration of the poll in the afternoon of that day, the numbers stood as follows .--For the rim- Penman, 100; votes, 201. Against the r at e —Persou, votes, 146. Majority in favour of the rate, 55. Yr. C. Rose protested against the chairman's declaring the poll before the estimate had been decided upon. The chairmen then declared the amendment on the estimate to be WS whereupon Yr. Rose moved, arid Mr. A.W. Marsh siceeded: " That the vestry do adjourn till the 29th inst., to glee th! churchwardens an opportuniteof amending their estimite. The Chairman refused to put the amendment to the vest!, and hastily signing the poll book and declaring the c raved. m u gs terminated. left the chair. Mr. Rme again cr ote s atel. and contended that the former amendment on th e est imate being negatived the original resolution to adopt it wu nor before the vestry. It was perfectly competent for koi therefore, to move another amendment. .A suggestion that another chairman should be appointed brought the txer back to the front of the chair, which be claimed to corer?. Mr. Rose now moved another amendment se follows : -Thst the item for lighting and warming the church, 21/...be expunged, and that the item for incidental expense.. 24., be reduced to 111. Mr. Abel seconded the a meodmeoi. The Vicar still remained inexorable, whereupon Mr..floo once more protested . and ca ll ed upon all present to witiere the View's refusal to put the amendments. The n 4. though ostensibly carried, is clearly invalid. The irregulantl of the proceedings, the excessive ohareeter of the rata the excess being one-third of the amount of the estimate, its re* = tire nature also, and other vitiating compotes it hopelessly illegal. A considerably larger ° umber voted against the rate on the present occasion than at 01 previous contest.
