At the Central Criminal Court to-day, Richard Risley, who styles himself " Professor" Risley, was indicted for attempting to abduct Maria Ann Mason, a girl under the age of 16, from the lawful custody of her parents. He was also charged with assaulting the girl. Mr. Besley appeared for the prosecution ; Sergeant Parry and Mr. Montagu Williams defended. The girl Maria Ann Mason stated that she lived with her mother at Fulham, and that she had a married sister living in Mount-street, Grosvenor square. On Tuesday, the 17th of August, she came into town in the forenoon and saw an unmar ried sister. She was then 'going to return home, and while she was waiting for an omnibus the prisoner said to her, "'Will you go with me 'Witness was afraid, and went towards Mrs. Chick ley's in Greek-street, Soho. In Leicester-square the prisoner stopped her at Stagg and Mantle's, the linendrapers, and said, "If you come with me, I will buy you a new dress." lie also showed her a ring he had on his finger, and said he would give it to her if she came with him him. As they passed a coffee-shop in Ryder-court, he caught hold of her jacket and endeavoured to pull her into it, but she released herself and ran away. The case was proceeding when we went to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7his Day. MARLBORO UGH- STREET. Wm. Mash, a hawker, was charged before Mr.Tyrwhitt with stealing a Li note, the property of Mrs. Emma Draper, hotel-keeper, of No. 20, Sackville-street. Mrs. Draper said that on the 20th August last she pur chased a turbot of the prisoner, who was in the habit of selling her white-bait, and not having any change, she told him to call the next morning. He did so, and she then gave him a .£5 note, telling him to go to a public house close by and get change. The prisoner left his empty basket, and went away and never returned. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner. WESTMINSTER. THE SALE OF A BUSINESS AND LOSS OF THE PRO CEEDS.—WiIIiam Turner, a costermonger i was charged with being concerned with a robbery of £264 from the person of John Scarlett, who had just sold his business as a butcher, at Battersea, for the money of which he was subsequently robbed while in a state of intoxication. Prisoner was remanded. AGRICULTUILIL PROGRESS. The Magnet says :—" Ploughing and sowing have matte fair progress during the week, although these operations experi enced a momentary check by the sudden advent of frost, and the seed, generally, has been got in under favourable auspices. The root crops continue to be well spoken of, % considerable increase being noticed in the size of the turnips as well as mangolds and swedes. At the same time the pastures and meadow lands present a fresh, verdant appearance, so that, with an absence of sharp frosts; there is a good prospect of a sufficiency of natural food for cattle up to Christmas. In England and Scot land potato-lifting has been about brought to a close, but in Ireland much remains to be done. We regret to state that complaints of disease are snore frequent, although no heavy losses have as yet occurred." TILE "PALL MALL GAZETTE" ON THE REPI?ESSION OF DRINKING. In the difficulty of deciding what is the precise de gree to which discouragement of open drinking may safely be carried, and in the certainty that no general rule could be laid down for the whole country, we are disposed to agree with so much of the Alliance principles Is would put the power of licensing in the hands of the ratepayer. Nor should we at all demur to Dr. Temple's suggestion that the wives should be consulted. The better part of the population, male and female, which happily is in every place the majority, would be the best able to decide how much repression could be safely enforced. But when we speak of the population it must be clearly understood that we do not mean the population of very limited areas. A parish court would be the worst of all licensing courts. Every busybody would keep up an agitation for his own crotchet, and some times it would be carried in the direction of unlimited competition, sometimes in that of abso lute prohibition. Personal influence of brewers and beershop-keepers would very often be found to bring about a very different result from that which the Alliance expects. There must, therefore, be a licensing body, either imme diate or as a court of appeal, drawn from a sufficiently wide area to secure the neutralising of personal con siderations, and the recognition of some reasonable rule throughout the locality. A county, or a division of a large county, would effect this, and the adoption of so wide an area need not militate against the principle of popular control. The jurisdiction of the justices, who know in general nothing more than the policemen tell them, might very usefully be transferred to a county or divisional board, elected by the ratepayers, and representing their knowledge as well as their ideas. These local authorities would feel their way, and would gradually acquire a large amount of practical understanding of the subject and its difficulties, which would direct us in any further legislation. It is possible that under their guidance we might even be able to enlist tho public house keepers themselves in the number of those who would discourage rather than encourage the consumption of drink. An association in Sweden has been formed with the object of supplying liquor to the public without profit to the retailers, and under this system it is obvious that the retailers, being mere servants, have no interest in forcing the sale. We men tion this, not to recommend the idea, but to illustrate how many ways there are in which the mischief may be combated. One thing only is to be remembered, that we cannot in any district go faster than the public opinion of the neighbourhood will warrant. This is an additional reason for trusting general opinion with the regulation of the trade, while it is a conclusive answer to those who would have either the national Legislature or a narrow clique exercise despotic powers.—Pall Beall Gazette. The Right Bev. Bishop Trower, lately administer ing the diocese of Exeter, has appended his name to the memorial to the Queen against the appointment of Dr. Temple, accompanied by a subscription to the funds of the committee. His lordship claims a vote in the Chapter as a sub-dean. The Empress Eugenic takes an herbal with her on travels, and gathers a plant, a flower, or a leaf, at each notable place where she stops. Her maids of honour con sign the souvenir to an album and inscribe at the same time the spot where it was gathered and the date of its selection. Nitro-glycerine has been doing some serious mis chief in the United States. The building for storing it at the Ifoosac Tunnel, near Springfield, Massachusetts, has been blown up from some unexplained cause, and three men were killed. SIR CHARLES DILKE.—Many of his constituents will hail the return from Russia, where he has for two months past been travelling, of Sir Charles Dilke, Bart., M.P.

To-morrow is the all-imposing topic, even though M. Raspail has abandoned his "fussi-je scut," DI. K6ratry has declared that before all things the law must be observed, and the Press, With hardly an exception, has loudly exhorted the populace to avoid all movement whatever. The Empt ror returned to Pails this morning, to he on the spot in case of any disturbance, but the report of an intended review to-morrow has quite died out. The authorities arc taking every precaution, being resolved, I am told, to repress the smallest attempt at riet very severely. To-day the Journal Offiriel contains a warning to all loyal subject.; to refrain from "imprudent curio sity" on the 26th, and the same notice is placarded on the walls. Happily tho Republicans were not slow to perceive that any rashness or violence on their part would not only compromise themselves, but strengthen the grasp of personal power on the reins of government, and they have paused in timo. It is rumoured that should to-morrow pass over without disturbance, the Government have resolved upon convoking tho Chambers for an early day in November, with the view of closing the extraordi nary session, and preparing the way for the legislative labours of the 29th by completing the validation of the elections. Tho Emperor will make no movement until the great day has gone by quietly, as he will not yield to open coercion, but so soon as it is past the Journal Officiel will publish the welcome notice. Such at least is the belief in many quarters. Another important movement in contemplation, if wo are to believe the hut dred tongues of rumour, is that an imperial manifesto will be issued in a day or two. The Opinion Nationale yester day went so far as to announce its appearance to-day, promising its readers a special mid-day edition of the Opinion in its honour. However those who scanned tho official column this morning for the manifesto found nothing moro exciting than the notice from the Prefect of Police. The Emperor intends, according to information received by the Liberte, to abolish the obnoxious formality of the oath of allegiance. Napoleon's object is to constrain his political adversaries to return to France and expose their theories in public. The abolition of this oath will be an important concession. The Rappel a day or two since had a strong article on the subject, proposing that at the approaching Paris elections the electors should manifest their feelings on tho subject by returning the four members most bitterly hostile to the oath, Ledru-Rollin, Victor Hugo, Louis Blanc, and Barbes. Louis Blanc has addressed a letter to the Rappel in which he naturally approves of a suggestion similar to one made by himself some time since. He is anxious, however, to give the movement a practical character, and thinks it essential to success that tho electors should declare their wishes in the most positive manner, leaving no room for "les si et les mais," that have arisen from the proposal for a demonstration on the 26th. He would Bye lists prepared in which each elector may indicate his choice giving his name and address. The Gaulois furnishes some details of the meeting of the members of the Left, which took place at the house of M. Jules Favre. The result of their delibe rations seems to be that the policy of the Left points in two very different directions ; and it is not unlikely that the promoters of the different plans will shortly disunite and form two distinct sections. M. Gambetta and M. Picard were the exponents of the separate schemes, and sustained a very animated discussion on the subject. The Left has resolved to send two of its members to St. Aubin to make inquiries into the particulars of the_ strike, and the sad scenes that took place there. Notwithstanding the note in the Journal °Bidet, it seems certain that the Ministerial changes referred to in the paper, were contemplated by the Emperor. He was not able to carry out his plans in consequence of their de pending on the entente cordiale of the Ministers, and also on the good understanding that should prevail between two distinguished persons. It was necessary to put a stop to the reports which prevailed, and hence the note in question. The Patrie contradicts the rumour that the office of supervising the press will be abolished in the Ministry of the Interior. The person now in charge of this department will shortly retire, but it is not likely that the service will be suspended. . Yesterday afternoon a general meeting of employes was held at the Cirque do l'lmperatrice, under the presidency of M. Douvet, the head of the Syndical Chamber of the Drapers' Association. There is now a complete break between the chief houses of Paris and their old assistants. The society has resolved to take a decided course, and to oppose the masters in every possible way. It will establish houses where the employes can carry on the busi ness to which they are accustomed. The Loire announces that the journeymen weavers of l'anissPres have gone on strike to the number of 2,000.

By the New Ycrk papers of Saturday week we learn that a movement was being organized among the stockholders of the Erie Railroad to get rid of the clique. Nominally, it was .said, they had a chance at the annual election, which was to occur on the fol lowing Tuesday, but the present seventeen Directors were enabled by theErießill to classify themselves,and hold their posts up to five years as suited their con venience. It was expected that Fisk and Gould would " classify themselves into the five year places." At that time these directors were as follows : —Jay Gould, president and treasurer; James Fisk, jun., controller ; F. A. Lane, counsel—these three con stituting the " exccative committee ;" Alexander S. Diven, vice-president ; G. M. Diven, William M. Tweed, Peter B. Sweeney, C. G. Sisson, J. Ganson of Buffalo, J. Hilton, Homer Rams len, Henry Thompson, 0. W. Chapman of Binghamton, D. S. Miller, jun., W. B. Skidmore, George M. Groves, and one vacancy. General Alexander S. Diven, vice-president, a hard-working and painstaking man, highly respected, was constantly out on the road, and most of the others being men of straw, Gould, Fisk, and Lane practically rau the road. It was anticipated that General Diven would be dropped, Mr. WHenry being substituted, and per haps Lane ; but we learn by cable Mr. M‘lienry was not elected, and that Fisk, Gould, and Lane did classify themselves for five years, and secured their election. Nevertheless, there is a storm brewing, which may perhaps relieve the Erie ; and it will not be the fault of the New York Times, and of the press generally, if the clique are able to weather it. Speaking of General Diven, the Times says : "As vice-president, frequently in Naw York, he is almost compelled to hear and know of matters connected with the operations of his colleagues of the executive committee, though not admitted to their secret conclave. He must be apprised of certain transactions for private account' by these gentlemen, which knowledge, after the extraordinary affidavits and hard swearing of last week connected with the gold explosion, if spread before the stockholders, might compel the Attorney-General of the State, from a sense of pubho decency as well as duty, and to avert shame and scandal from his high office, to oust these men by summary process from the board of directors for flagrant breach of trust, and to prosecute them for crimes and misdemeanours which the term fraud fails adequately to describe." It goes on then to remark : - " These men have added thirteen millions to the com mon stock of the road since last March. The presumption is that they required the avails of this vast issue, sold at the rate of about 30 cents on the dollar, as fast as the English public could be duped into buying it; and the cash receipts of the road, and all the credit which it was possible to obtain on the expenses and repairs of the road, to keep the corporation and themselves afloat for the inter vening six or seven mouths. At all events, the $130,000 shares have been issued and registered. Both of these men wore financially blown up by the occurrence referred to in Wall-street. One of them fled the street the same after noon ; the other is trying to avert the consequences of utter ruin by enjoining his own brokers against making honourable settlements of contracts for his account, and against returning, or demanding of him to return, moneys loaned to his firm on gold at 145 to 160 per cent. In view of these astounding facts we are curious to see whether the old common stockholders, whose certificates date back to 1867, or still earlier, before these men took the road with only $16,500,000 sworn capital, and. $5,500,000 hypothecated capital; and the preferred stock holders, whose dividends, in 1868, were used for Albany plunder, will quietly suffer the act of classification—only another name for the confiscation of their property—to be carried out next Tuesday. They may have submitted to outrages involving greater pecuniary loss at the time, but never to so lasting a wrong. It is possible that they may have known these men fabricate a single certificate for 200,000 new shares of the stook, and agree to sell it to themselves at GO cents on the dollar, supposing the stock might be required to save their own re-election, and after this danger has passed cancel the sale at 60 cents; sub sequently divide the 200,000 new shares and 30,000 addi tional shares into small certificates for the London and New York mar! et, and, first selliug the whole for private ac count at the best figures the two markets would afford down to 40 cents on the dollar, take 200,000 shares from the company at that price. This sounds like a gigantic fraud of $4,000,000 on the stockbrokers in four or six weeks. It may have been even more, considering that the road required no now stock to be sacrificed at GO coats on the dollar, much less at 40 cents." On the same subject the Springfield Republican observes : " Thera is a disposition to contest the law under which Fisk and Gould will continue themselves in office for four years longer, without an election. This may be the be ginning of the end with Fisk, for as soon as the luck be gins to turn against him ho will be an easy man to beat. We do not export a sudden fall for him, but even that would not be strange. What we shall look for is a gra dual crumbling away of his power and purposes, and his ultimate descent to the bottom of the hill up which his pedlar's cart dragged him a few years since. The public is getting tired of him and disgusted with him; it has had enough of Fisk. He will probably manage his Erie elec tion as he pleases, but in the present temper of the people such a victory on his part would cost him more than it is worth." There are good grounds to hope that if the Eng lish holders now move in conjunction with Wall street that this inc Ibus which has ridden their property almost to death may be removed, and with it the great scandal, which has done so much to check investments in the United States.
