Three years' interest is due n eon thes e b on d s , an d the present crisis has be en F r . o ught about by the refusal of Romero, the mance Minister, to pay the arrears, though he offers to purchase the obligations at the rate of 10 c ents, the dollar.

No further intelligence had been received this morning up to 1.40, at St. James's-square, from Knowsley. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLING £24,000. This day, at the Mansion-house, William M'Lauchlin, lately a sharebroker, residing at Rye terrace, Peckham, was placed . at the bar on remand charged with unlawfully converting securities to the large amount of £24,000, the securities, being the property of Sir Charles Douglas and others, as trustees. It will be recollected that on Tuesday last, the prisoner was placed before the Lord Mayor, charged with embezzling securities to the amount of £14,000, but Mr. Lewis, who prosecuted, said since that it had been discovered that the prisoner had appro priated other securities, the personal property of one of the trustees, snaking in all an appropriation of no less than £24,000 to cover speculations he had made on his own account on the Stock Ex change. . The prisoner was, after the various Stock Ex change transactions bad been explained by th witnesses, again remanded. PARIS C3RE,14,61-6-\ MONDAY. The Journal (*del is silent to-day, but the rumours of changes in the Cabinet are as rife as ever. Men are unwilling to believe that the incessant conferences at Com piegne have no other object than the elaboration of the Ministerial programme. The Public, M. Rouher's organ, announces another visit of the ex-Minister to Compiegne to-day. M. Schneider is also there, and the Presse affirms that he has gone with the intention of making mischief, Stimulated to action by the numerous letters he has received from his colleagues, he intends asking the Council how far the Government had the power of convoking the Chambers for an ordinary session, before the extraordinary session was formally closed ? Ho will suggest that the latter session should be resumed on the 28th of October, and as the majority of the Cabinet will certainly oppose any such scheme, it is possible that the long-delayed Ministerial crisis will result from his interference. Such is the prevailing rumour in Paris to-day. I give it to you for what it is worth. M. Schneider's health, according to the Soir, is but indif ferent. An illness which attacked him at the close of the session has reappeared with some severity. This is one of the reasons which have induced him to visit Paris at present. The Liberte, in referring to this report about M. Schneider, strongly maintains the theory which Emile de Girardin has always supported—that it is impossible to open one session before another is closed. The Liberte, like the Temps, shows some irritation at the persistent refusal of the Government to take any hint or suggestion from its independent friends. The meetings which have been held during the last day or two have been very reassuring in their character. A gathering of 1,500 persons, held in the Avenue de Choissy, was addressed by M. Eugene Pelletan, who strongly opposed any demonstration on the 26th. A thousand others assem bled on the Boulevard des Batignoles, while a meeting was also held at La Villette in the evening. Both the last gatherings were addressed by advocates of Communist and Socialist doctrines. At La Villette a drunkard created some little disturbance by ascending the tribune, where, however, he did not give the audience the benefit of his eloquence, but seized and emptied the carafe. The meeting was, notwithstand ing, a great success, and, at its close, the President, alluding to recent events, complimented the representative of the civil power on the manner in which he had dis charged his duties—a tribute which was warmly applauded by the whole Assembly M. Keratry has announced that henceforth he belongs to the Radical Left, and that he will attach his signature to all their declarations. _ The Marquis d'Audelarre has written to the Journal de la Haute Saone, denying that he has any intention of identifying himself with the demonstration threatened by Raspail. The Empress's visit to Constantinople appears to be a complete success. The Sultan has displayed all the resources of oriental taste in his efforts to receive her with dignity. The Figaro, always well informed on such sub jects, gives a glowing description of the magnificent Mtes which took place on the banks of the Bosphorus. An immense crowd assembled to witness the review, which took place on the fine plains of Beicos. The coup crail was most imposing; the Empress was particularly struck with the picturesque aspect of the camp on the hills of Unkiat Skelessi. In the midst of these rejoicings and pleasures, the Empress has, according to her usual custom, devoted herself to more serious occupations. She went yesterday, at the conclusion of the mass to visit the house of the Sisters of Charity and the French hospital. Her Majesty will shortly leave Constantinople and proceed to Egypt. In spite of all the advice that has been tendered to them by the journals, the employes in the Maisons des Nouveautes have persisted in their determination to go on strike. They demand not only that they should have Sunday to themselves, but that the warehouses should be closed at eight o'clock. The heads of the different firms have resisted the appeals thus made to them, but they on their part made counter propositions which were not acceded to. A numerous meeting of these disaffected individuals took place yesterday at the Cirque de L'lmperatrice, and as many as seven thousand persons were present. About forty young women came to represent their interests as employees in the magasins. The police were not present on the occasion, the president assuring them on behalf of his friends that perfect order would reign. It was made a request on the part of the autho rities that in the event of the strike continuing over the 26th of the month the v arious members of the Society should remain at home. Money has been received from England, Prussia, and the der artments in support of this strike, and a collection made at the doors yesterday pro duced a considerable sum I hear that Prince Metternich had sent in his resignation before he accepted the challenge of Count Beaumont. Italian heiresses seem to be particularly fascinated by the Papal Zouaves. Several of these heroes have just made very brilliant marriages. The Princess Santa Croce, whose family owns the Duchy of Corchiano and the county of La Torre has married a simple Zouave soldier, and has brought him a dower of a million. The grand daughter of Prince Barberini has become the wife of a Belgian Zouave, of humble extraction ; and the daughter of Countess Falaicappa has married a lieutenant without birth or fortune, who left Luxembourg to follow the fortunes of Pius IX.

April and Oct , ...... 39 111 112 1111 ANOTIIER POLICE CASE, At the Marlborough-street Police-court, on Monday Edward Mullany, of Newport-market, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk, disorderly, and using obscene language in Newport-market; and Mr. Willian Lingner, provision merchant, No. 25, Frith-street, was charged with assaulting Police-constable Portch. Mr Edward Lewis appeared for Mr. Lingner. Police-constable C 87 said, about half-past twelve o'clock on Satur day night ho was in Newport-market, when he saw two women quarrelling over their irtarket stands and while advising them to be peaceable, Mullany came up and interfered, causing a great crow( and a disturbance. Ho told Mullany to go away, but he wieul4 not, and on being taken into custody he became very vioience and it required the united strength of several .conseribles. to get him to the station. Police-constable Patch saw Mullany and the constable struggling together and went to the constable's a s si s t an c e . Li n g ner came llf and cried out, " Down with the police !" and afterwards put his foot between witness's feet and tried to throw hier down. Lingner followed him to Dean-street, and thee gave him a blow on the head with his fist. Another con stable took Lingner into custody. On cross-examination the constable said be was certain he heard Lingner shout out " Down with the police !" It was not true that he had kicked Mullany. Police-constable Fillmet saw Lingner deliberately strike Constable Portch with hie fist, and heard him hissing and hooting the police, calling out that the police had kicked Mullany. Mullany's conduct was that of a madman, and Lingner followed and shouted " Shame!" two or three times on the way to the station Tho police were pelted by the mob. Mr. E. Lewis said he would throw some light on the manner in which Mullany had been treated. Witnesses would shew that one constable at least had been guilty of unjusti fiable conduct towards him. The defendant Lingner was a respectable householder, a person more likely tc assi:t than obstruct the police. No doubt Mullany was troublesome, but when one constable (Portch) was seer to kick him deliberately on the head, then Lingner inter fered to prevent further violence. Lingner was not taker into custody until he arrived outsidd of the station with the intention of befriending Mullany, if necessary, and stating what the conduct of tho police had been towards him. Mr Billington, hairdresser, 27a, Frith-street, saw five or six police constables dragging a man to the station, and thinking the matter so disgraceful he followed with Mr. Lingner and saw a police-sergeant kick Mullany on the back of the head as he was being carried along. Witness believed that Portch was the constable, but was not certain, as the con stable had the stripes of a sergeant on his arm. When Mr Lingner said, " You ought to be ashamed of yourself for kicking a man in such a manner," one of the constables turned round and took Lingner into custody. Lingner struck nobody. As soon as the constable laid hold of Ling ner witness said, "If you take him into custody I will ro port you for kicking the man." The constable then re. leased Lingner. Mr. Tyrwhitt having remarked on the large body of police and sergeants in court, and having stated that he had noticed that the same thing occurred whenever a constable was charged, said he could only think that this was done to overawe the magistrate. It was hie duty to stand between the public and the police. From the evidence he had no doubt that Mullany had been very violent and resisted the police. It was very probable that Mulleny had been roughly treated but it was a question how far he had brought this rough treatment on himself by his violence. He was not prorated to say that it had been made out sufficiently tliat Mullany had been kicked on the head. Mullany had been taken in such a way to the station as to justify Lingner, who appeared to be a respectable and . sensitive person, in thinking it was his duty to interfere for his pro tection. He did nut think Lingner assaulted the police and should dismiss the charge against him, and fine Mul lany 20s. and costs. A. lil6l case is being brought against the publishes of the Indian Daily News for a letter inserted in that paper. The damages claimed are 25,000 rupees. It is said that the head-mastership of Rugby School, about to be rendered vacant by the elevation of Dr Temple to the see of Exeter, has been offered to the Rev J. Percival, head-master of Clifton College. In Wheeling, a few days ago, a photographer tool! the picture of a well-known toper as he was lying or the side-walk, and he was soon on exhibition in all thr shop windows. The inebriate signed the pledge. An Exeter correspondent telegraphs that Dr. Temple has arrived in that city. The opposition to his appointment appears to ho collapsing. Canon Hook is one of his warmest supporters, and the clergy are Occlining to sign the memo riai to the Dean and Chapter against his election. Three coloured men recently obtained admission tc the dress scats cf a Washington theatre. They were coin• pelled to leave their places, and have sued the managers of the theatre for a breach of a municipal law. The case it not yet settled. Another negro became engaged in a Arrel with some white men in New York, and shot one of them dead. The story is told of an honest countryman who wa.! taken to the New York Gold Room by a city friend, uncle) pretence of showing him an " asylum for the insane," and who immediately rushed from the building, crying out that the madmen were all loose down there, and he didn't know what might happen! The banquet to the Duke of Abercorn, which was to take placo on Wednesday, and the great Tory de. monstmtion under the presidency of the Duke on Ulf succeeding evening, both of which were adjourned in con sequence of Lord Derby's illness, are to take place on tht Bth and 9th of December respectively. The Correspondanee Italienne says that since th, circular of the 30th of September, relative to the demand of several Italian bishops to be authorised to proceed tc the council, had announced that the Government would not put any obstacles in their way, a new demand hat been made by semo other members of the Italian episcopacy to obtain a special authorisation. It it believed, however, that the Minister of Grace and Justice Chas replied with reserve, as in his formes circular. THE Column Bisnorntc.—ln reply to a memo rial from the clergy of West Cornwall, Mr. Gladstone in a letter addressed to Captain Vivian, M.P., writes : "I will not fail to bring the subject of the memorial be fore my colleagues. The new bishop, you may rely upon it, will not place any undue obstacle in the way of the division of the diocese. But there are other difficulties The funds of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners are all appropriated, I believe, by Parliament. Local contribution, might, perhaps, be deemed necessary as a proof of local desire. And, lastly, the mind of the Church, so to speak does not seem to be clearly made up on the question what should bo the status of new bishops." Of how new a thing is American literature we are pleasantly reminded by the fact that William Culler Bryant, who may be said to be the father of American poetry, is at this moment engaged on a new translation of Homer's Iliad, the first part of which is in the press There are English readers who can remember the time when aristocratic travellers, while deploring the sordid materialism of the new Republic, admitted that the poems of " one Bryant " were readable, and even worthy of the attention of the English public. Ever long after this period, when Bryant's beautiful "Lines tc a Waterfowl," and other poems, were first embodied it popular collections of poetry here, Longfellow and Whit• tier and Lowell were names yet unknown. Bryant is now in his seventy-fifth year, and is said to be still accustomed to "work most laboriously." His letters from the East which have been just published in New York, were how ever written in 1853, during his tour in Egypt, Palestine Turkey, and Greece. " OTELLO " AND MALlBRAN. — Malibran almost always fainted at the conclusion of " Otello " Desdemona it which was one of her great impersonations. The reason oi this was as follows :—When quite a child she accompanied her father the famous Garcia, to New York, where ho was engaged as tenor of the Opera. On Monday he returnedtc his daughter, who was also his pupil, and informed hes that the prima donna was seriously ill, and that she muss be ready to play Desdemona on Wednesday. She knew the music perfectly, but as she had never sung on a public stage, she naturally wished to get off this sudden ani unexpected debut, but Garcia would not hear of it. Witt• a brutality which, by the way, was not unusual with hlm he told her she must sing the part, and that if she did no' come up to his expectations he would kill her on the spot for which purpose he should on that night take a real dagger instead of a stage one. The night arrived and Malibran achieved quite a success. All went well until the last aci Then, as Otello was stealing up to the recumbent Desdemona a shrill scream ran through the house, and Malibran jumping up from the couch, rushed off the stage. The curtain was let down, and the opera, came to an un timely end. It was soon discovered that Malibran was missing. Scarch was instituted for her by the police, but for two days she could not be found. Then she was dis covered hiding behind some timber in a timber-yard, halt dead with fright and starvation. The effect of this, her first appearance in the part, was so indelibly imprinted or her recollection, that whenever she sang it the circum• stances came back to her, and ()ten resulted in the super vening of a fainting fit at the close of the opera. As an inti• mate friend of Malibrau's, who heard the story from her own lips, I can ronch for its authenticity.—Theatrical ani Musical Review. A FACT APROPOS OF THE LANL QUESTION. The London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian mentions some facts that have been communicated to him. When describing the condition of certain estates in the valley of the Suir, the Times' cosrespondent, in one of his recent letters, dwelt with laudatory emphasis on the comfort and content of a district the property of the late member for Nottingham, whose wife's grand father, Sir William Osborne, had let it on lease at mode rate rents to the industrious peasants, who had by thou' own industry reclaimed it from the mountain waste, as mentioned in his travels by Arthur Young. The story is picturesque, the social moral admirable ; and the first and the last mentioned facts are stated accurately. But the chain of cause and effect is sadly broken by a circum stance wholly omitted in the narrative, namely, that during the famine of 1847, the multiplied progeny of the original tenants were reduced to a state of poverty and suffering so desperate that, as the only expedient for their effectual rescue, Mr. Bernal Osborne undertook to furnish them with the means of emigration to America, compensating them at the same time in money for the surrender of their holdings. Those were subsequently somewhat consoli dated, and let to small farmers having capital enough to cultivate them. 105 107 N 11)0 96 99 9S i 110 113 6S 72 THE WHITTON MURDER. The Windsor Express asserts that the 'Whitton murderer was Edwards, the Cato-street spy. As a reward for his services the Government found employment for him in the stamping department of Somerset House, from which establishment, upon his retirement, he received a super annuation of £66 13s. 4d. per annum. During the time he was at Somerset House he was remarkable among his fellow employes as a very irritable man. He was greatly annoyed by the allusions frequently made by his colleagues to the part he took in connection with the Cato-street conspiracy, and the Lords of the Treasury of the day issued an order threatening with dismissal any employe who persisted in doing so. The annoyance continuing, however, Edwards left London and came down toWindsor,where, having a taste for carving figures in stone, he took a house at Eton and used to imitate the ancient grotesque carving of 'Windsor Castle and Eton College, and sell his productions to visitors and the Eton boys as antiquities. Mr. Charles Knight in his autobiography speaks of Edwards as having a face "which said he was a rogue by nature. He was a diminutive animal with democrat looks and stealthy face, and seemed capable of any evil." CHARGE OF SCUTTLING A SHIP. Thomas Bulman, a master mariner, was charged at the Justice Room of the Mansion House with scuttling the ship Old England on the high seas, in July last. Mr. Lewis prosecuted on behalf of Lloyd's Salvage Association, and said that the Old England was a vessel of 1,030 tons, and the prisoner was the captain and part owner. He effected an insurance on his share of the ship and on his personal property in her. The Old England left Cardiff for Point de Galle last June, being then perfectly sound. The ship was abandoned in July, the captain and crew being taken on board a Portuguese brig, about a day's sail from Pernambuco. On the captain's arrival in England he produced a log-hook, manifestly now, and on being questioned about it he said that the old log book had become dirty, and that as the Portuguese captain wished to soe an English log-book, ho gave it to him. The captain, however, could not speak English. The Board of Trade instituted an inquiry and cancelled the pri soner's certificate. The cook and tho Lte‘mrd gave evidence of having seen the carpenter go down the hold with the captain. The carp enter had a parcel, in which both the witnesses had seen two augurs. The ship had leaked before, but no water was seen in the hold until after the captain and the carpenter had been down, and the cook thought the pumping was left off too soon. The weathez was not bad. The prisoner was remanded for further evi dence, bail being refused. THE BOILER EXPLOSION IN AMERICA. The numbers killed by the fatal boiler explosion in Indianapolis are now stated at twenty-seven, the wounded being fifty-six. The New York papers give most harrowing details of the accident, besides record ing many marvellous escapes. A child's carriage was destroyed by a piece of flying iron but the child was unhurt. A gentleman and lady were walk ing arm-in-arm near the boiler; the gentleman was killed and the lady uninjured. A mother and three children were near ; the mother was killed, two of the children seriously hurt, and the third escaped. A piece of the boiler was blown into the cattle-shed 200 yards off, where it knocked off the tips of the horns of the mammoth ox, but did no other injury. Headless trunks, limbs and skulls were scattered about in awful profusion. A man was walking along the road, when he was startled by the sight of a fleshless skull, the eyes, and teeth remaining, which suddenly dropped in front of him. A man's arm was found driven into a poplar board. Another man was so terribly injured that his heart was seen palpitating through the wounds. A horse was killed, but the occupants of the chaise in which he was, escaped. Governor Baker was standing near his carriage with some friends when the catastrophe occurred. He had a miraculous escape from the flying iron, his coachman being badly hurt. The general opinion is that the explosion was caused by the deficiency of water in the boiler, the flues being greatly heated. The pressure on the steam gauge was nearly 120 pounds, but tho boiler should have stood 150 or 160. The verdict of the coroner's jury had not been given when the mail left. Summoses for a meeting of the Cabinet on 'I ties day, the 26th inst., have been issued. A severe shock of earthquake was felt at Fillmore, Utah, on the Ist of October. The State House rocked for several seconds. The convulsion was the most serious ever experienced in the settlement. A warrant has been applied for in one of the 'United States Courts against Captain Hall, the Arctic ex plorer, on the charge of murdering a mutinous sailor in the Arctic regions. The Court refused the warrant on the ground of want of jurisdiction. A gun accident is reported from Wash&ld, East Devon. Two brothers went ont shooting rabbits, and one of them received the contents of a gun which the other fired from the other side of a hedge. The man lies in a precarious condition. Intelligence has come to hand of a terrible mas sacre of a shipwrecked crow. The Catherine Seymour, homeward bound from Sydney, New South Wales, was lost in Torres Straits in June last, and it is stated that the mas - ter and 22 of the crew—probably the wholo ship's company —were murdered by the natives. The Times of India states that the Begum of Bhotal has established an industrial school to be called " The Prince of Wales's School," where boys are to be taught the art of weaving articles of cotton manufacture. The Indian Government bas sent a message to the Begum expressing its satikfaction. The vacancy in the Board of Inland Revenue caused by the death of Mr. James Disraeli has not been filled up ; and the Chancellor of the Exchequer has the credit of recommending, on the score of economy, that the vacancy lately arising in the Board of Customs by the death of Mr. Grey should likewise be permitted to remain unfilled. The Ballinasloe Town Commissioners have re fused to entertain a motion for the discussion of the land question, on the mound that " it does not come within their jurisdiction." The Earl of Clancarty was the leading oppo nent of the motion, and urged that the Government should not be dictated to with referenco to the mode of settling the question. A mysterious story of poisoning comes from county Meath. A young man named Nicholas Led with, on his way home, found on the roadside a small bag containing currants, biscuits, and flour. lie gave it to his bistor, who made a cake of the flour. Of this cake, Nicholas, his father, and his brother partook heartily, and as a result died in several hours. The sister ate very sparingly of the cake, and thus escaped. At the inquest, which was adjourned, a belief was expressed that the bag and its contents wore placed on the roadside with a malicious intent. 'There appears to be no doubt that the resolution alol•ted by the ironworkers at the recent meeting in Wed nesbmy will be strictly adhered to. The delegates present unanimously agreed to give fourteen days' notice to the mai ters on Saturday last if intimation was not given on or before the morning of that day of an intention to raise the wages of ironworkers. At the preliminary meeting at Wolver hampton, and at a subsequent meeting in Birmingham, the masters have shown a distosition to decline acceding to the request of the men. The Vienna papers contain accounts of Joseph Graf von Wratislaw, who stabbed himself on the 9th inst., having dined with the party given by the Ernp;:ror in hon. our of the Crown Priuco of Prussia on the previous even ing. It appears that the deceased, who owned the estate of Wottez, in Bavaria, though principally residing in Vienna, had lately been depressed by the heavy losse, which he sustained during the recent panic.
