MIDDLESEX SESSION. —(This Day.) James Jackson, alias Yallop, 28, was indicted for obtaining by false pretences, from William Wellem, Hs. 61., his money, with intent to de fraud. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 12 months. It is geaie,cally understood that ner Majesty will herself deliver the speech from the Throne on the re-assembling of Parliament next month. We give the following extract from the United Service Magazine of this month as an example of the way in which history is written:—" In 1859 Sir Herbert Ed wardes again returned to England, and at a public dinner given during this visit to his native country an affecting and memorable scene took place. Some gentleman pro posing a toast had spoken of Sir Herbert as the saviour of India. Sir Herbert, in returning thanks, said he could not permit this lofty designation to be applied to himself. Here,' he said, as he laid his baud fondly on his friend Nicholson, here is the real saviour of India.' " The late Sir Herbert was a very valuable and distinguished public servant, but the man must have been elevated into a state of 'good intoxication' who called hitn the saviour of India. He is represented in England in 1859 as lay ing his hand fondly on his friend Nicholson, who had been killed and buried two years before under the walls of Delhi ! To call Nicholson the saviour of India is equally absurd. He was as gallant a fellow as over drew sword, and as energetic as he was brave. These qualities made him a dashing leader of wild native troops, but he was not fitted by his training for handling brigades, and he lost his life through his impetuosity and his ignorance of the common rules of street fighting. It would suggest itself to most mon who bad to capture guns at the end of a long lane that the proper way is not to go up that lane, but to get to the tops of the houses or to advance by breaking through the walls. This, however, was not Nicholson's way, and he used up some fine British soldiers and lost his life by carrying out his own ideas. It stands to reason that a charge of grape tired down a narrow street with brick walls on each side is death to every ono in it; fur instead of scattering, the balls strike the walls and ricochet from side to side, leaving no chance of escape. Men like General Nicholson and Herbert Edwardes can safely rest their claims to monuments and cherished memories on their career without the farce of calling them—saviours of India. At this rate saviours would become as numerous as the Army of Martyrs ; and after calling over the long roll, the question might still be asked—lf India had been saved after all ? It certainly is a question any of its 200,000,000 of inhabitants might pertinently put. GOOD NEWS FOR ENGLISH SPORTSMEN.—The New York Spirit of the Times thus remarks on the abund ance of game iu the Indian country :—" A recent letter from General Sheridan to General Sherman, dated from the mouth of the Canadian river, states that buffalo and other game are in immense abundance ou the plains. The whole country is literally covered with wild animals of chase, and game birds. The general says that there are now more buffaloes than would last the Indians for 20 years. The wild turkeys are also very abundant, and flocks estimated as containing from one to two thousand have been seen. Grouse, quail, and rabbits abound; and antelope and deer were so numerous and bold that they ran through General Custer's train when on the march to Black Kettle's village. We also learn from Mr. Cameron, who went to the mountains with his English friends, in company with General Auger's scouting force, that the buffalo were immensely numerous on the plains; while in the parks of the Rocky Mountains there were enormous gangs of elk. Mr. Cameron's party had great sport. Capt. Townsend and Lieut. Kendall went on to San Francisco when Mr. Cameron turned back from Salt Lake City." The Philadelphia Public Ledger says—" It is esti mated that no less than 200,000 persons are now re siding in New York City who have no work, no real homes, and no means which insure them a liveli hood. Some of them beg or steal outright; but a large number eke out a miserable existence by running into debt for lodging and board, or by borrowing from week to week of whomsoever will lend them, or by quar tering themselves on reluctant relatives or friends. The result is reported to be an aggregate of want, squalor, misery, and degradation fearful to contemplate. LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR.—MRS. S. A. ALLEN'S WORLD'S HAIR RESTORER OIL DRESSING never fails to quickly restore Grey or Faded Hair to its youthful colour and beauty, and with the first application a beautiful gloss and de ligLitful fragrance is given to the Hair. It stops the Hair from falling off. It prevents baldness. It promotes luxuriant growth; it causes the Hair to grow thick and strong. It removes all dandruff. It contains neither oil nor dye.

PARIS, TUESDAY, January 19. The Emperor's speech has met with a generally favour able reception. The Opposition journals, of course, hay, their usual throw, but it is much milder this time I usual. The absence of all allusion to an amnesty for press condemnations, or rather a pretty plain allusion the will be no amnesty, seems to cause the greatcs diszatieraction. Otherwise the criticisms are of the olc stamp. No one can deny that the entire document if clear and unambiguous ; in fact, perhaps the best corn position the Emperor ever read. In the Liberte, M. Emile de Girardin says that justice and impartiality NVOU:(: be violated if it were not acknowledged that a great change has been brought about during the past year —a change greater, perhaps, in the determine: tion of the Government than in its laws. M. de Girarclir says that the discourse of 1887 raised in all Liberal minds the most legitimate distrust of the Imperial policy ; the discourse of 1849 has removed it. The Liberte is, in fact the Emperor's strongest supporter•—perhaps justly. The Etendard adds its evidence to that of the Constitutionnel against the statement that the Treaty of Commerce with England would be brought to an end in 1870. Both journals are equally emphatic in their contradiction. Indeed, it is difficult to imagine what ground has been discovered for the report. Even suppos• ing the French Government were dissatisfied with the treaty, it has certainly, so far as I can discover, given no signs of its dissatisfaction. The fact is, the Government has always supported the treaty. During the last session it was discussed for eight days, M. Rouher giving it the most unequivocal sup port. He said : " After the tenth year the treaty will be carried on only from year to year, and you will be able to discuss it annually in this Chamber—you can even provoke a condemnation of it. We are ready to dis cuss it whenever you please, but we will never condemn it, or suffer any condemnation." Lastly, M. Rouher an• nounced that all modifications of the tariff would be sub mitted to the Corps Ltislatif. I had not space yesterday to notice a very noteworthy article in the Public. This, it is hardly necessary to say, is M. Rouher's organ, but its comment on the recent pro ceedings in the Island of Reunion, could hardly have been more severe if it had appeared in the Libcrte or the Tenzps. It says that the Government is not disposed to conceal the gravity of the recent events in Reunion. They have led to a useless effusion of blood, and they have once more reopened the vexed question of colonial government. "We cannot now go at length into this matter, but we have no hesitation in saying this much— that our colonists in general do not appear contented, and that it is absolutely necessary to content them." The Public then exhorts the Government to inquire as to the best means of giving the colonists a regime with which they will be satisfied, remembering that the efforts of the last fifteen years have not attained the object in view. " We shall, perhaps, be told that the agitation in the colonies is factitious, and the work only of individual ambition and turbulent minorities. Be it so. But is it impossible to paralyse the influence of these minorities by largely satisfying the desires and interests of the majority? It is very certain that in the colonies, as elsewhere, the Government will never please everybody; but there more than anywhere else its duty is to give the least offence possible. There is, therefore, every reason to reform resolutely and liberally." This is truly remark able writing for M. Rouher's journal. When such an article as this appears in a paper wholly under the control—in fact, the editorship—of the Minister of State, it is impossible to resist the conclu sion that changes in colonial government are forthcoming, and that the announcement respecting Algeria is not at all unlike'y to be followed by decisive action. The problem, too, is not difficult. At present the colonies are under personal government from Paris, as is all the rest of the Empire. What they require is a truly representative Government on the spot, knowing local necessities, and having the power to provide for them, but still answerable to the Emperor. It is to be hoped that the blood shed Reunion will at least bring about this benefit. A telegram to the effect that Hobart Pasha had sunk the Enosis caused great excitement on the Bourse a few days ago. This message, it appears, was a fabrication, and, according to the Figaro, a very extraordinary origin it had. It was manufactured at one of the great depart ments for the purpose of ascertaining whether a certain telegraph clerk was in the habit of selling secrets to the Bourse. This telegram was sent to his station, and in a very short time it found its way to the Bourse, and was traced to the culprit. This is a very ingenious mode of detection, and, no doubt, highly advantageous to the authorities, but is it equally profitable to the public ? Has the Government ever given a thought to the thousands that may be lost and won through the gambling produced by one of these " cooked" messages? To make the public pay heavily for the catching of a suspected clerk is but another instance of that indifference to private interests as compared with official convenience .which is so strongly prevalent in this country. Once more the tidings of the young Duke of Brabant are alarming. The change for the better has given way, and during the last few days the Prince has grown worse. The malady seems to have entered upon a new phase, and for some days a serous matter has flowed from both legs. The Princess Charlotte is reported to be better—that is, quieter. She lies in bed the greater part of the day, and is said to be getting very stout. The ghost of Sir Richard Mayne seems to have invaded the headquarters of the serjents-de-ville here. A raid upon wandering dogs has commenced—hitherto, I am told, with " great success." Every day about a hundred dogs are conducted to the pound which has been established in the Rue Pontoise, and all old or valueless animals are strangled if not reclaimed within twenty-four hours. The system is very simple : a cord is passed round the animal's neck and tightened, a blow on the nose follows, and—rizit. This summary process is not carried out in the case of valuable dogs. These are boarded and lodged for eight days, and then sold. THE WEATHER TAI3LE.-THIS DAY, METEOROLOGICAL RELORTS: SHARE LIST. ORDINARY saAut:s AND STOCKS. .aura Itaihrtys. Paid. Clos ing .

The slight diminution in pressure noticed in the west yesterday afternoon bas since last evening extended to all stations ; though the change has at present been small. Readings, though com paratively uniform, arc lowest in the west—that at Greencastle being lower than that at Yarmouth. Very high pressures have been prevailing in Russia for the last few days, with very low temperature. In the west of France temperature has decreased from 10 to 15 deg., and a similar change, but to less extent, has occurred in England. The weather at Nairn is warm, and the difference of reading between it and Rochefort is 20 deg. The winds in the N. and W. of our islands are all between S. and S.W., and a very strong southerly wind has appeared in the Irish Channel since last night. On our south coast light south-easterly breezes are blowing, and winds are from E. to N.E. on the French coasts. Rain has fallen in the west— very heavily at Valencia. The sky is cloudy, but the air much clearer than during the past few days. The sea is calm generally. Weather seems unsettled, as there is so much difference in temperatures. rim Right Hon. the Attorney-General for Ireland ins left Dublin for llawarden Castle, North Wales, on avisit . 0 Mr. Gladstone.

ADELAIDE, Dec. 8. .Advices from New Zealand state that the re bels had surpriEel the settlers in Poverty Bay, where they had massacred several Euro pean families and committed horrible atrocities. Men were burnt alive, children mutilated, and the dead bodies of women thrown to the pigs. Great mismangement is attributed to the authorities. The colonial forces on the west coast have retreated before the rebels, and a large tract of territory had been abandoned. The latest news was more encouraging. SPAIN. MADRID, Jan. 20.

THE CAPE MAIL. PLYMOUTH, Jan. 20. The Union's Company's steamer Dane, with the above mail, has just arrived off here. NAVAL AND MILI7 ARY INTELLIGENCE The E'k, twin screw (unarmoured, composite built) gunvessel, Commander Algernon G. Woolton, went out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday and anchored at Spithead, where she will receive her ammunition previous to sailing for China. The Hornet gunvessel, a similar craft to the Elk, Com mander Duncan D. Davidson, yesterday, competing coaling in Portsmouth harbour, will sail for China in company with the Elk, and both will be under convoy of the Juno, 6, armed screw trans,)ort, 400- horse power, Capt. E. Hard.inge. The gunboat yard at Haslar, Portsmouth, ac cording to present orders, will be closed at the end of March next. The yard covers a large space of ground abutting on the shore at llaslar creek on the west side of Portsmouth harbour, and was created sonic years since at a very great ex pense for the hauling up, storing under sheds, and the repair of gunboats, mortar vessels, It is fitted with a hauling up slip and cradle connected with expensively-constructed and very efficient lines of railway running at right angles with the entire length of 50 sheds, with their blocks, &c., for the storing of the gunboats. A powerful locomotive engine draws the boats up the slipway on the cradle, and to and from the sheds in hauling up or launching, and a fixed engine work ing an endless screw takes the boats in or drives them out from under the sheds as may be required. In addition to this there is a valuable plant on the ground belonging to the shipwright and engineer ing departments, with officers' residences, &c., together with a large space of spare ground within the walls of the yard, that is available for extending the present workshops, should it ever be found necessary to do so. Altogether, the present gunboat yard at Haslar represents the in. vestment of a very large sum of the public money, and it is well worth the consideration of the First Lord and Board of Admiralty whether some more profitable use might not be made of so much capitil. The very opposite opinions have been entertained regarding the value of Haslar yard. At this moment the demolitionists have the upper hand, and the decree has gone firth that it is to be officially closed on the 31st of March next, and the 50 costly sheds taken down and reino7ed to the dockyard at Portsmouth to be employed in storing timber. This latter proposition will at once be con demned if rightly understood. To do this it is only necessary to consider the cost of the pulling down of the 50 sheds, their removal across the harbour of Portsmouth to the dock, and their re erection. There is another consideration. How is it that now, when we have abandoned the building of ships of war in wood for iron, we suddenly are told that covered sheds must be provided for the storage of timber ? Supposing, even, for the sake of argument, that the small quantity of timber which i❑ future will be kept in store at Portsmouth dockyard must be kept under cover for its preservation, surely the six building sheds of enormous area, which have nothing build ing under them but a small gunvessel and a dock yard lighter, will hold more timber of all kinds than can ever be required ; but, if even there should be found insufficient there is the now vacant and • disused ropery, of some 1,700 ft. in length, and other old stores, that could be used on an emer gency—a circumstance, however, that Is never likely to occur." _ On Monday the Ist infantry brigade at Alder shott, under the command of Major-Gen era l H . Benny, and consisting of the 2d battalion Gth Re giment, under the command of Major Phillips ; the 2d battalion Bth, under Colonel Robertson • the Ist battalion 25th, King's Owu Borderers, under the command of Colonel 11. T. Walker ; and the 57th Regiment, under the command of Colonel Butler, formed up on the brigade parade, and thence marched to the general guard-mounting parade, south camp, in complete marching order. Yesterday the Artillery division at Aldershot, under the command of Colonel J. IL Smyth, C. 8., consisting of B and C. Batteries 11th Brigade Royal Artillery, and C, 1), and E Batteries of the C Bri gade Royal Horse Artillery, formed up on their divisional parade ground, and proceeded at half- past nine o'clock to Eelmoorlhill, where they marched past in open column of batteries at a walk and subsequently went through numerous field movements peculiar to that branch of the service, returning to quarters shortly before one o'clock. Two men fell during the exercises, and were promptly :conveyed to hospital. Foreign Nail Packet List.
