LUXURY IN LOW Litt. Alexander Taylor, aged 23, a miserable and raggedly clothed young man, was placed at the bar before Alderman Abbiss, charged on SURF/Wan ofistealing six dozen of dawn. pages from the warehouse of News. Hawks and Crawshay, chain cable and anchor menu! so:Curers. Mr. Sanderson, clerk to the above fi rm, said they had several oases of champagne in the warehouse. On Saturday morning it was discovered that one of the cases had been opened,and ► six-dawn ease was missing, the value of which was 20i. They were safe on Thursday night. There were two or three broken bottles lying near the case. The wine had branded aorta. James Hann, detective officer, said he went with his brother officer, Badman, to the prisoner's lodgings, No. 2, Pennyfarthing-rents, Huggin-lane, ,Upper Thamerstreet, where he found a room where the prisoner had been sleep ing, and found a broken bottle in it. The room emelt strongly of champagne, and the floor and carpet were saturated with it. On the Sunday Badman found the neck of a bottle with a branded cork in it in the room. The brand was the same as that on the corks of the wine stolen from the wharf. He afterwards took the prisoner into custody and told him the charge, when he denied all knowledge of it. Jas. Badman said that when he told the prisoner about finding the cork in his room he said that if found it there he put it there. He had, however, pointed it out to Lewis, another officer, before he went near it to take it up. Alderman Abbise thought he knew the prisoner's face. Hann said he had been in prison before. Alderman Abbine remanded the prisoner for further in quiries. PUTTING OCT cream MOMS. A well-dreesed young man, who described himself as a surgeon, and gave the name of Brown St. Matthew, of No. , 43, Stanhope-street, Hampstead-road, was charged with , putting out two street lamps in Gough-street, Gray's-inn road. The evidence of the police went to show that this , morning they saw the defendant go up a lamp post and put out the light. He got down, and before , the police could get up he put out another, and WI then taken into custody . The place where the defendant put out the lights is dangerous without a light in consequence of the carts of the Metropolitan Parcels Delivery Company standing there and loading to meet the early trains. There were three lights in the street, two of which were put out by the defendant. The defendant, who treated the matter as a joke, said that he only put out one of the lights, and that he did accidentally, when trying to light a cigar. The constable was clever when he said he saw him put out two lights. Mr. John Ward, of 2, Granville-square, was called by the defendant, and said he saw the defendant put out one of the gas lights, but he could not be certain whether two were put out or not. The defendant said he was not in the habit of putting cat street lamps, and he thought the constable had behaved in a most unjustifiable manner in taking him up. He had been out with a few friends during the previous evening, but he well knew what he was about. Mr. Barker said that whether the defendant was in the habit or not of putting out street lamps, it was clear he had done so. On this occasion he had been guilty of a very foolish, childish act, for which be would have to pair ! alty of 40a., or in default of payment, 21 days' bard labour in the House of Correction. The fine was at once paid. AN IRISH RIFLE VOLUNTEER CHARGED WITH FENIANISM,AND THREATENING TO SHOOT THE PRINCE OP WALES. BRIGHTON, TOISDAY Ematra. A most painful sensation has been produced throughout Brighton during the latter portion of the day, more especially amongst the volunteers, a large proportion of whom are members of the London Irish, and who dill throng the town, that a member of the latter regiment had been detected with ball cartridge in his pocket at the review, under circumstances of strong suspicion that he con templated the assassination of the Prince of Wales. The rumour was that the accused, whose name is Patrick Butler, had on Sunday night, whilst in a state of intoxica. tion, declared at a public-house where he met his comrades that, if opportunity offered on the morrow he would shoot the Prince of Wales. No notice was taken of the matter ; but some of the other members talking on the subject, it came to the ears of the officers and was reported to the Marquis of Donegan, who directed that no steps should be taken tall the arrival at the Race-hill. The captain of his company then address ing Butler told him what he bad beard, and asked if he bad any ball cartridge about him, to which he replied ha the negative, but on being searched 10 rounds of ball car tridge were found in his pocket. On this being reported to the Marquis of Donegan he at once gave him into cus tody. This morning Patrick Butler, who is a private in the London Irish, was brought up for examination before Mr- Biep, the stipendiary magistrate, the Mayor, and other magistrates, having been given into custody on the Ease hill by the Marquis of Donegan on a charge of using sedi tious I.e guage . Corporal Cox was the only witness, and it was proved that the 10 rounds of ball eartridgewere found uponßertke. It could also be proved that he had threatened to shoot the Prince, but the witnesses being in London, the inveighs,. lion was adjourned till this day. A large portion of the copper ore which formed the cargo of the Cheshire Witch, wrecked at Torbay in the great stema of Jammer, bet, how been recovered.

St. I ,* • ei The committee appointed to try the merits of t . l t il&tion against the retire. of Sir R. Clifton and Mr. Bt , for Nottingham, resumed its sitting for the 18th time morning ; Mr. B. Adair in the chair. The evidence in chief of Sir Robert Clifton was con- g tinned. The boa. member said—At no time during the at. election did I give any insiructicos or authority to Mr. St. Thompeon, the optician, to arrange a coalition between 84 . myself and Mr. Martin. The assembly rooms t• consisted of a number of rooms let out for gt public purpose. On the polling day, about 2 o'clock g; in the - afternoon, I went to Mr. Martin's can- 8L mittee room to asoertain about the poll returns, as we 8L could not get any, but I found that they were pretty much 11 t in the same preamment. Mr. Martin never came to the South parade , committee room till after the election. I 84. remember on one occasion seeing three men in the South- 10 parade committee room, who stated that they bad come io over from France to vote for me. I shook hands 100 with them, and told them I was very much 100 obliged to them. On the 28th of June when' I left the 11 south committee-room I went to the Maypole, ordered my g mrriap. and went to the ceicket-granuL I never went to at the Midland station, or said that I would go there, or was 85 going there. From the Maypole to the cricket-ground is 81. about a mile and a quarter, and it is on the way to Clifton 81 . 81. Hall. .....-wramiaed by Mr. Mundell—ln 1861 all parties at , voted for roe.

I it:. The learned counsel p. baronet's chattels were not protected by a bill of sale from 20 execution 81 . Mr. &dwell objected to the question, but on Mr. Mun- 10 dell's pledging himself to make it relevant to the lam s, it all eel to be ut. Examination resupmed—There Is not a bill of sale pro- ge, totting the rest of my chattel', and if I were not a mem ber of the house at the present moment, there is not a single debt in the world for which I could be arrested. During the election I was sued for a debt Sh. of 4001., which I paid with money that I borrowed. gel I have no considerable sum of money. Mr. Thompson lent et ne 1001. in order to pay Mr. Acland's fee, or rather he pre- It tended to lend it to me, but borrowed it from Mr. Spencer, 2 C and took the credit of lending it to me him self. Thomp- 1101 eon did not ask me for the 1001. again because I had offered to make a bet of 1001. I con- St. eider that I have great cause to complain of Si Mr. pa r f : bringing down a candidate to oppose 10 his co l e. I did not enter into arrangements •:;i: myself in 1 or 1864 to bring forward a oonservatave can- Sc didate to oppose Mr. Psget, nor did I instruct Mr. 10 Acland or Dlr. Mott, though there might have 10 been some conversation about bringing forward 10 another candidate when it was found that Mr. Paget 10 did not do his duty to his constituents. I attended a 1 ,2; meeting at Beaton, and made a speech ; but I cannot re- isi p me- dier whether I said that the No tt ingh am constabulary 10 hal' more trouble in looking after Paget and Morley's 10 voters than all the rabbits that Jimmy Sweet had ever swal- St lowed, or, that !thought they would requirel,oooconstablee to protect them at Arnold. I never noticed or recognised ! John T vry in the lobby, or said when he was being called, g " Come along, we must have this witness." I know Mr. se Hedington ; he has been once or twice at Clifton, and Si may have had some sherry and a biscuit, but he I was not staying there as a guest. He called on me once officially, and once casually, and requested me to pnt off 1 ° my meeting for the 26th, because he thought my showing 3 myself at the window of the South Parade committee-room el at the time that Messrs. Paget and Morley were addressing Si • meeting in the market-place might cause a row. He se- • cordingly put off his meeting till after 10 o'clock. _ 1 I called at the barracks and left a card for Captain Ricardo, as other country gentlemen did, but nothing more. i j At the time I wrote the letter to Sir George Grey, I did not know that Mr. Griffard's agent connected with the other side had gone to London to make a representation to the Home-office. I was one of the candidates who objected to the hustings not being erected outside the Ex change-rooms. The protests which were advertised from day to day about the Byron Ward polling being at Hickly Mill, and so on, were made because it was notorious that means were being used on the other side to pack the polling but I sin not aware that they were advertised from trio day. I will swear that I did not make use of the words, "If you will not hear me I will clear the platform," and to the best of my belief no words at all like that. The sheriff was near me when Hooton pulled out the knife. I asked somebody immediately who it was, but took no steps to bring the man before the magistrates- One man has very little power over 40,00 0 people, and certainly I had so power over Paget and Morley's mob. If I had been well treated I think I should have had great power over them, hot the vindictive manner in which I was treated excited them, and not only what you term the mob but the respectable dames of workmen. I brought an action against the Patriot. There was no ple.i of justification on the record, and the judge expressed him self very strongly about the manner in which they had brought the cause into the court. I stated at that trial that the steps of the Exchange-hall were 300 or 400 from the St. Anne's Ward com mittee-room. yards eyoung man Fry was ordered to stand up at the trial, but I could not recognise him. lam really surprised that the crowd did not act worse towards the supporters of Moors. Paget and Morley, on account of the vindictive feeling which the clique manifested towards me. I only saw one attack on the committee-room. The mob were not all going one way, and when I spoke of the kind of sortie that was made yesterday I meant the move ment of the people coming out of the committee-room. Now as an act of sober judgment, do you consider that the gutting of the committee-room served Paget and Morley right?—That is a matter of opinion. I wish for yours.—Well I think that there was great justification for the people. It is a matter between the people and Paget and Morley, and not between Paget and Morley and me. I will not have that. I will have nothing short of an answer, aye or DO. Did the gutting of the oommittee-room of Mews. Paget and Morley serve them right? Sir R. Clifton—Yes. Do you consider that the gutting of Jemmy Sweet's house served him right?—No ; because I think that he was a sort of political lunatic, whowent about making vio lent speeches : he was not a principal I cannot form any opinion as to whether it would have served him right if he had been, because the circumstances might have been different. It is my decided opinion that had there been no sortie of armed men from the committee-room it would not have been gutted. The people were quiet before the sortie. I don't know that the door was broken before it took place, or that there were three attacks on it before. I don't think that I spoke to Acland before I went to the Byron Ward. The cross-examination of the hon. baronet was proceed ing when our report left. PLYMOUTH, Aran 3. —The Plymouth Chamber of Commerce entertained the Earl of Morley at a dinner this evening, at the Royal Hotel, on his being appointed chairman of the chamber. A large party was present. Amon` the guests were the Solicitor-General and Mr. W. Morrison, the members for Plymouth, and Sir Massey Lopes, hLP. The new scheme of compulsory retirement in the Royal navy was published in a supplement to the Lowden (Matte lest night. The plan was fully disclosed in the resat debate on the navy estimates ; but its effect could not be fully known until this official announcement. It appears that the active flag list is to be reduced to 85, viz.:—Admirals and admirals of the fleet, It ; vice-admirals, 22; rear. admirals, 42. Admirals are to be retired on reaching the age of 70, viceodmirals 68, rear-admirals 65, and captains 61 The Gazenc also give* a list of the flag officers placed at we en the retired list by this arrangement, omitting of 3 admirals, 6 vise-sdmirals, and 4 rear-admirals ; and the promotion' consequent thereupon.

The Imperial Ottoman Bank have received ad . vices from their Bucharest agents that the usual monthly payment on account of the dividend and sinking fund of the Danubian Principalities Loan has been punctually made by the government. A story has been set afloat, for the circulation of which the Paris Memorial Diplomatique is partly responsible, of the issue of a decree by the Emperor Maximilian ordering " the suspension of the pay ment of the dividends on the foreign debt of Mexico until the bonds therefor shall have been verified." The story was heightened in colour by the announcement that " It was Monsieur Lan,glais (just deceased) who caused the adoption of that step, after he had ascertained that in the foreign debt there were many bonds for which the Mexican Treasury had never received value." Our Paris contemporary, in its number of the let inst., gives a somewhat important qualification to its statements by remarking that it is the payment of the coupons on, and the authenticity of, the float ing debt (as distinguished from the foreign debt) which has been called in question. It is said, how ever, that, incredible as it may seem, the so-called official decree published in Mexico is utterly desti tute of official warranty, and that its publication was prompted by spite. The existing government in Mexico has so many enemies at home and abroad that it behoves the bondholders here steadfastly to withhold credence from all statements which do not obviously bear the stamp of authenticity. About 22,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank yesterday, making a total of 250,0001 . since the date of the last return.

GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY OP C ( THIS DAY). The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held at noon this day, at the London Tavern ; Alderman DAZIN in the chair. The report, which has appeared in the Express, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN moved its adoption, and that a dividend be declared at the rate of 5 per oent , free of income tax. He congratulated the shareholders on their changed and prosperous circumstances. The obstacles to their successful enterprise were nearly cleared away, if not quite. The outlay on capital account during the half year was 32,5261., which included 14,0001. on the Car ferry-boat for the Detroit river, and • large amount for the new station at Toronto. The capital account was exhausted, except 3,838/. ls. Bd., but they had several sources from which new capital could be raised, including authorised share capital, of which there remained a considerable amount to be raised, besides which they had paid off bonds to • considerable amount, which, in case of need, could be reissued. The revenue, he was happy to say, was increasing rapidly The receipts during the past half year were 389,0001., against 312,729/. for the corresponding half year of 1865, being an increase of 221 per cent. The aggregate loss from adverse ex changes since the commencement of the American war to the present time was 443,9871., close upon half a million. But for the losses arisinf i from this source, the line would now pay • dividend of per cent. (Hear, hear.) The prim gold, which was 48,. was now, as appeared by • telegram received that morning, fallen to 126 - and if this reduction went on at the same rate as it had been doing lately, there would soon be no further loss arising from that source. The traffic was increasing at • very satisfactory rate, and the pro po rtion of the working ex penses was decreasing. The shareholders would be aware that the reciprocity treaty with America terminated on the 17th of last month, bat the directors bad every reason to believe that the abolition of the reciprocity treaty would not have a detrimental effect on the revenue of the company. Though they regretted this interruption to free trade, still in this ease there were compensating circumstances which would make up any lose that might occur from that source. What the company called their foreign . traffic would be preserved. The local traffic would be interfered with to some extent, but teat was not a very large element for consideration. The only part of the Oldie that could be interferedwith was that whichtook its source from Canada, which hitherto had had free course in the United States. But that amounted to only one sixteenth et the entire traffic, and sa a set off against this they would no doubt have a large increase in the foreign traffic. With regard to the matter of the Commercial Bank, while he and Mr. Fanlooner were in Canada they bad some interviews with the repreaentatives of the bank, and they chowedthem that the Deeroit and Milhawkeeline was advancing to prosperity, and had abeady a surplus revenue. They could s not succeed in settling the matter then, but inibeequently Mr. Cart. wright,thepresident of the bank, paid • visit to this country and he had several interviews with him, and the result had been that there was now every probability that the dispute would be settled, by an arrangement on the basis of the rum in dispute being paid out of the revenues of the Detroit and )(Sweetie railway itself. He should here after propose a resolution to carry out that arrangement. There was another matter of considerable importance to which he wished to call attention, and that was their relations with the Grand Trunk company. Within the last day or two they bad received • proposal from their mansger in Gana& by which they would put an end to competition with the Grand Trunk, and have equal rates and fares from competitive places. He trusted that some such arrangement would be carried out. Considering that the Car Ferry had now been opened, and the bridge over the Hudson completed, and that the Detroit and Milwaukie was now prospering, he thought there was every prospect that this company would id go the on prospermg. With regard to the to&tened ra of Fenian' tato Canada, though no serious fears could have ever been entertained respecting it, yet it was gratifying to find that in this case, as in most others, out of evil came good. That threat had shown the determination of the Canadians to defend their hearths and homes against any invasion whatever. Mr. Basra seconded the motion. Mr. Mom, M.P., and he had heard the statement of the chairman with regard to the Grand Trunk , with r great satisfaction. Rightly understood, the interests of sll th e companies were the same. He thought that great prosperity was about to dawn on this company. Mr. La Claim expressed his dissatisfaction with the smallness of the dividend, and said the line ought to pay • at least 10 per cent., which would be considered a amen dividend in France. Mr. Moron said he wished to call attention to the . chairman being a director of so m any companies, and - suggested that with the list of directors should be pub- dished the number of other companies they were directors of. A Sitaisnowisa remarked that he did not think thej had reason to complain of their chairman not Wong l S cleat interest in the affairs of the compiny, seeing that he - found time to go to Canada, and spend weeks there on the - business of the company. - The Cesium( said Mr. Moron's remarks were made on - • tof principle. With regard to himself he was out of bwinws,andthereforehadnothisattentiontaken up thereby. He was certainly on 12 or 14 directions, but some of them met only once a month, though one or two were of an im portant character. But if the shareholders thought he = ou ght to retire from the direction of this company he was ready to do so. (" No, no.") His present position with II reference to this company was not of his seeking. He undertook nothing that he did not feel him - self competent to carry out. He did not -- seek to be of this company, but was - s trongl y premed chairman to take the chair, and he thought the - attack on him was ungenerous. (Hear, hear.) Mr. G. Sartre said the observations of Mr. Moron had g- iven peat pain to the directors. The chairman paid very great attention to the interests of the company, and looked upon them as if it were his own business he was attending to. The motion was then agreed to, and • dividend at the rate of 5 per cent per annum declared.

LAvr Abigai TO TIM IRDDI Gr — The vacancy in th e offloOiriBNMENT. e of law adviser to the govern ment, for some time vacant, has been filled by the appoint ment of Mr. D. C. Heron, Q.C. Mr. Heron's promotion is distinguished by one feature which is unhappily rare in the exercise of patronage in the legal profendon in Ireland ; it is the reward of professional, not of political exertions. Some twent. , years ago Mr. Heron crowned a distinguished academic career by obtaining a scholarship in Trinity College, to the enjoy merit of the advantages of which, as a Roman catholic, he could no . . then be admitted. Hem however, though then a very young man, make a stand for the claim (which has mime been conceded), in an appeal to the Court of Visitors. Called to the bar in 1848, and within the bar in WM, Mr. Heron has hitherto held an independent position, d evo ting himself to his profeadon , in which he has attained grmt mucosa, both as a practitioner and as sometime pro imam in the Queen's College, Galway, and author of a learned History of Jurisprudence. The appointment, under these circumstances, must be comadmed creditable to the government.—Dvitin Evening Mail. THE MUTINY AND MARINE AM.—The two acts of parliament on the army and navy, which received Rader the royal assent on the day of the adjournment for the recess, have just been issued.

Of the 13 public acts passed in the present session these are the longed, and are annually Mimed with amendments for the guidance of the army and navy, and to enforce proper discipline in both services. Tax MOUNTAIN Asa MITEDER. —Robert Coe, the condemned criminal who now lies under sentence of death in Swansea Owl, has made a confession to the Rev. Mr. Williams, the gaol chaplain. He states that on Haturday, the 2nd of September , the da y on which it was alleged the murder was committed, he had a quarrel with John Davies in the wood, and that be struck him several severe blows which felled him to the g round. The hatchet produced eh the trial was not used on this oecsaion. He then left Davies. believing him to be dead or dying. _On the Monday, two days after, he spin went to the wood, carrying with him the hatchet alluded to. On arriving at the spot where he left the body of Davies, he found that his victim was still alive. He then, with a barbarity which is almost incredi ble, shopped off the head and carried it some little dis tance from the mangled body. It is believed that before his execution, which is fi xed for Thursday, the 12th inst., he will give fuller particulars as to the motive which prompted him to commit such a fo ul and horrible crime, which is believed to be AMPSALB TO THE =—M. de Girardin, in the Lae*, protests spinet the appeals to the Most Met which are so frequently made in grave political conjunc tures by journalists—and lately, by the Clonstitatiosinet in its article on the present state of Germany.
