WAR WIC. 78 - ,DIArY4I7 (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH•) WELTER CUP. King William Theodora Queen of the South .. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN WATERLOO ROAD-THREE LIVES LOST. . This morning, between the hours of four and five o'clock, a fire of a rapidly destructive character, attended with a serious loss of property and fatal consequences to three per sons, happened in the premises of Mr. J. Burton, wardrobe dealer, 75, Waterloo-road. The discovery was made by a policeman seeing smoke issuing through the apertures of the shop shutters. He immediately sounded an alarm, and sent off for the Royal Society's fire escapes and the engines of the London brigade. After some trouble the whole of the inmates—consisting of Mr. J. Burton, Mrs. E. Burton, her daughter Mrs. Reid, and Edward Burton—were made sensible of their danger, when they made an attempt to descend the staircase, but were met with such powerful bodies of smoke that they were compelled to retreat, and make an attempt to escape from the roof. At this moment a most agonising scene took place, when the smoke and fire were seen rushing out of the top window, and persons cry ing piteously for help. The engines from the Waterloo station, which is nearly opposite, were promptly on the spot, as well as those from other stations. There being a plenti ful supply of water the firemen went to work in an ad mirable manner. As soon as the fire was sufficiently got under Mr. R. Henderson, district foreman, accompanied by two other firemen, went in search of the missing bodies. In the third floor front, under the window, was found Ed ward Burton, aged 12 years ; in the gutter was Mrs. Eliza Burton, aged 48, and in her lap lay her daughter, Mrs. Reid, aged 27. It being a slanting roof they had nothing to take hold of but twe high walls on each side. Mr. Burton made his escape from the back, and supposed his family was out of danger. Shells were procured, and the bodies taken to Lambeth workhouse, there to await an in quest. The origin of the fire is at present unknown. The loss will fall on the Phoenix and other offices. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. Robert Logan, a porter out of employment, was charged with fraudulently inserting an advertisement in the Morn ing Advertiser on Wednesday last, offering employment to 400 workmen, to work at a new invention, at from 20s. to 30s. per week, and referring to " 0.P.," 208, Thames street, a publichouse. Thirteen letters were received at the publichouse by Mr. Guess, in which were enclosed between 70 and 80 penny postage stamps. Between 30 and 40 persons called on Thursday morning, offering to engage, but no engagement took ilace, and the prisoner was taken into custody for swindling. Mrs. Jean Hutton, Waterloo-road, said she saw the ad vertisement, and her daughter wrote a letter enclosing two postage stamps, and she delivered it at Mr. Guss's public house, as directed by the advertisement. Miss Hutton corroborated her mother's evidence. She received no reply. Police-constable 411 took the prisoner into custody this morning, at St. Andrew's-hill, on the above charge. He said that be had an invention by which the Illustrated London News would be printed in one-third less time and expense than at present. The prisoner was committed for trial for fraudulently ob taining from Mr. Richard Hutton, two postage stamps of the value of twopence, and also with conspiring with other persons, not in custody, to defraud others by false and fraudulent pretences. . . The Alderman cautioned Mr. Gross not to allow any per son to make use of his name without seeing the advertise ment, and knowing for what purpose. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. CHARGE OP FRAUD AND FORGERY.—Louis Pillon, of 6, Upper Rupert-street, carrying on business as a provi sion dealer, was charged with being concerned with others not in custody, in defrauding the complainant of butter and cheese of the value of VB, and forging an order for 424 f. 80c., in payment of the same. The prisoner was apprehended by Sergeant Rogers, 6 C, a very experienced officer, and who speaks French fluently. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prosecutor; and Mr. Albert acted as inter preter. From the evidence, which was only partly entered into to-day, it appeared that the prosecutor, Mr. Francois Durien, a cheese merchant, at Neufchatel, having received a communication from 5, Upper Rupert-street, signed Ver deny and Co., requesting samples to be sent there, and after wards received another request that goods might be sent, which was done, and afterwards received a communieation containing a draft for 424 f. 80c., which, being sent to the house in Paris on which it was made payable, it was re turned protested. Mr. Alfred Villers, of 47 Weston-street, Bermondsey, cheese merch•nt, said he went to Messrs. Minores and Cockerell, 16, Water-lane, City, whose names were on the draft, and nothing was known of it. • Sergeant Rogers, 6 C, proved apprehending the prisoner, and on telling him the charge in French, he said he had made the draft to oblige others, and that the firm Verdeny and Co. was himself. He also admitte i receiving the goods from Neufchatel and afterwards asked to see the prosecu tor, that he might arrange with him. Remanded. THAMES. DARING ROBBERY IN A HOUSE OF ILL-FAME OF A SAILOR.—Mary Greydon, Devonshire-street, Limehouse ; Sarah 11M 'Williams alias Mary Sullivan, 1 Hungerford street, St. Georges ; and Mary Hagan, Angel-court, ditto; were placed at the bar charged with being concerned in stealing from the person of Thomas Ren, master mariner,4 of 18 sovereigns, Bs. in silver in a purse, and a gold watch and chain, of the value of £l5, of which the chain, five sovereigns and the silver was recovered. It appeared from the evidence that on the previous night the prosecutor, who had been drinking and was the worse for liquor, met the prisoner Hagan, and was induced to go to a house of ill-fame in Angel-court. The other prisoner came there by whom he was surrounded for a short time, after prosecutor missed his money and the other articles mentioned in the charge. As soon as possible the prose cutor gave information to Sergeant Cox, 45 R, and Lane, 397 K. Cox proved having, with the assistance of his brother officer, taken the prisoner into custody, and with having found the property above stated. Hagan was discharged, McWilliams was remanded, an Greydon was sent to prison for four months. ANOTHER WATCH ROBBERY OF A SAlLOR.—Elizabeth Phipps was charged with stealing a watch, the property of John Campion, a sailor. - • ---- The prosecutor said that on Monday night, about seven o'clock, he was induced to accompany the prisoner to a disreputable house. He there received a glass of ale, wh ich stupified him. When he recovered he missed his watch. The prisoner was remanded. ?'HIS DAY'S MARKETS The supply of English wheat here to-day was chiefly composed of samples left over from Monday. The attend ance of millers was limited, and the demand ruled very in active: In prices, however, we have no change to repot. The fresh imports of foreign wheat are only 4,240 quar ters. Good and fine parcels were held at full prices ; but other kinds had a drooping tendency. Fine barley was scarce, and in request, at extreme rates Inferior parcels ruled stationary. There was only a limited sale for malt ; nevertheless, prices were supported. The oat trade was much less active, and the quotations were barely maintained. Both beans and peas commanded full currencies ; but flour was very dull at late rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats. Flour.

Hurst and Blackett. Those who anticipate a series of photographs of the brilliant society . of Parisian saloons, or the po litical conclaves and secret meetings of the disaf fected Republicans, or a description of the Court fetes and military mancouvres, will be disappointed in these volumes. The author, thinking, perhaps, that such scenes and subjects are depicted by every tourist who gives an account of his excursion to the public, has turned from the brilliancy and tur moil of the surface to the sterner and darker " rea lities " which may be found in all great cities. He leads us chiefly among the poor, the afflicted, and the destitute; the petty tradesmen and hawkers, the inhabitants of the " Cite Dore" and the " Fau bourg Souffrant ;" giving us at the same time full details of what charity and self-devotion accom plish for the alleviation and reformation of crime and misery. The following passage from the' pre face will best explain the writer's intentions : There are guide books innumerable to enlighten the super ficial traveller as to the public amusements, the gay sights and the magnificent monuments of the queen of cities : to their pages we refer him. That to which we propose to introduce our readers is the result of personal investigation, among those classes, and in those quarters of Paris which are not only wholly unfre quented, but studiously shunned by strangers. We might - write volumes on the " Realities" of Paris life, upon its realities—undoubtedly—of worldliness, of pleasure, of luxury, on the one hand ;—of poverty, abandonment and despair, on the other, and as the inevitable result of both extremes, the sad realities of vice, of infidelity, and of crime. Nevertheless we find at the same time that we can fill pages with a no less startling amount of realities of gene rosity, of self-sacrifice, and of good works—but we must take the trouble to search them out, for Charity has never borrowed the trumpet of Fame, and veils herself with all the precautions which modesty and humility can sug gest. Yes, if there be realities of luxury, and realities of vice, there are also in Paris realities of self-sacrifice, of holiness, of charity. May we not hope that the latter may go far to redeem the former, and that for the sake of the " tdh righteous" the city may be saved. " Together let us beat this ample field ;" let us ascertain, first, what is the actual condition of our fellow beings, in those near, and yet remote localities, at the present hour, and how in the various chances through which they must pass, they contrive to maintain themselves and their families by honest but pre carious industry. We will, secondly, pursue our inquiries in another direc tion, and penetrate the arena of those classes who are less scrupulous in procuring means of existence, not content unless they can obtain likewise means of enjoyment; and we will—after glancing at the military type of that essen tially military nation—proceed to make acquaintance with• those institutions to the durance of which, criminals render themselves liable, and whose penal regulations it is neces sary they should undergo, whether for their punishment and reformation, or for the security of society. We shall, thirdly, treat of associations and CEuvres sug gested by benevolence, and administered by charity, des tined to form, to improve, and to reclaim, no less than to assist and console the neglected and suffering classes. The author is evidently thoroughly familiar with the French tongue in all its varieties of correct and in correct phraseology, and gives many amusing ex tracts from conversations in the market-place or byeway full of the national wit and sprightliness. His chapter on the streets of Paris is one of the most entertaining in the volumes. In it he gives us a history of the destiny and adventures of the old clothes, which are so largely bought in Paris end other cities. Old military and naval uniforms, we are told, are sure of a market in South America and the Gulf of Mexico. Those warlike races who, as the author quaintly observes, are richer in glory than in tailors, being glad to purchase their uni forms ready made. Old headgear is despatched to St. Domingo, the blacks being very ambitious of the honour of possessing a European hat, especially if it be white, from the old adage of extremes meet, we presume. Shoes and boots are forwarded to California. Old French gloves, cleaned and scented, are packed off to Jamaica and the Philippines in extraordinary numbers, if our author's statistics be correct. He says :—" Will it be believed that 6,000,000 pairs are annually shipped for these facile customers ?" With regard to the oetroi duties he gives some amusing anecdotes : It is not very long since, a clever attempt was detected by the vigilance of the officers of the octroi. A respectable-looking carriage, drawn by a pair of horses, used to go out at the Barrie' e de Fontainebleau every afternoon, containing one or two persons, and with a livery servant standing behind after a drive of a couple of hours, the vehicle would return, about dusk, apparently in statu quo. The door was opened as usual, the question was asked in duo form, and the party pur sued their way unmolested. This went on for some time ; at length, the perfect immobility of the footman,* one day, struck the searcher • he resolved to observe more closely, and the next day accordingly, after he had shut the carriage door, he called out to the coachman, whose wont it was to whip up his horses, and drive off at a rapid pace :—Halte la cocher' ; then, turning to the ser vant,. he addressed him with :—" Et TOW, mon brave, n'aunez vous, par hazard, rien a declarer ?'' No answer was returned, and not a whisker moved, when the officer thought it time to come to a closer personal acquaintance with this supercilious and dignified official. His astonish ment may be conceived when the supposed valet was dis mounted, and proved to be a tin case, painted and dressed, and containing several dozen bottles of choice wine But, more curious stratagems than these have been at tempted, and have succeeded too. The cab and omnibus system of our continental neigh bours, which has been so highly spoken of, appears to possess its drawbacks. The traveller complains of the distance of the stations and the inconvenience and delay arising from the omnibus system. Of the improvements recently made in Paris by the demo litions and alterations in some of the rookeries, the author speaks warmly. "Of course," he remarks, in speaking of the improvements in the Faubourg St. Marceau, " the classes who now swarm here must lodge somewhere, and will doubtless create new "Fosses aux-Lions" and " Champs des Alou ettes," yet it will be a vast improvements. At all events the fresh air with which these hamlets, hors barriere, are surrounded, must be preferable to the atmosphere of close and narrow streets, whose in habitants, densely packed in houses sometimes reaching eight or nine stories, are impervious to ventilation." The author, who is evidently a man of sincere piety and benevolence, and deeply inte. rested in the welfare of the poor, speaks most en thusiastically of the efforts of the priests and chari table societies, the members of the society of St. Vincent de Paul, and the " Soeurs do la Chaiite." While joining him heartily in his admiration of these noble and self-denying efforts, we cannot but regret that he loses no opportunity of disparaging similar efforts in his own country. He is continu ally holding up some instance of Catholic charity (of which there are many), and placing by its side some fragment of a police report, or Registrar's re turn in London, on the misery of the poor. He appears to forget one point that shows that the maligned Londoners are not totally indifferent, as he would have us suppose, to the sufferings around them—the charities of London are all dependant upon voluntary support, while those of Paris are supported by the State. We should imagine the noble edifices which meet us in the metropolis, bearing the words, "supported by voluntary con tributions," and the numerous ragged schools, and similar institutions for the training of the young, would prove, to the most prejudiced, that the wealthy classes of England are not all insensible to the wants of their fellow creatures. We are far front disparaging the merits of similar institutions in Paris. Doubtless the devotion of time and labour among the " Soeurs de la Char its " is such as no money can equal ; but we are objecting to the tone of the writer, who seems to think there can be no such thing as self-devotion and unobtrusive charity on this side of the Channel. We are quite ready tojoin him in demurring to the wholesale asser tions of French superficiality and heartlessness, and had he been equally laudatory, and left his own coun trymen alone, we should have been satisfied, but when we find that in charity, in religion, in laws, in re formatories, in prisons and workhouses, in juvenile offenders, in ganzins and street boys, in murder and infanticide, in every benevolent institution, such dark comparisons are drawn, we begin to question whether the sympathies of creed have not fairly over-balanced the symplth ies of country and con siderably biassed the readers judgment. What is admirable humility and Christian charity in the Archbishop of Paris is only worthy of a sneer in the Bishop of London. We quote the following passages from the same page—we cannot ourselves see the extraordinary discrepancy of the acts. Car dinal Moratt, the benevolent prelate of Paris, has been visiting a poor woman whose case had been represented to him as one of extreme distress : Up five pair of stairs, and those by no means of the ' cleanest description, did the Cardinal ascend into the low and narrow garret of this poor widow, where he adminis tered all the consolation in his power, and left her pene trated with his affability and condescension. But this was not all ; the house was occupied by characters of the worst description. So overcome were they, however, with the go3dness of the Archbishop, that every man, woman, and child came out of their nooks and dens, and, kneeling be fore him, begged his blessing as he passed. " On Sunday, Bishop Tait opened a room for public wor ship in one of the vilest parts of London. There is no pul pit ; and to see the Bishop of London standing on the floor" (not on the ceiling), " and inviting the poor degradeed in habitants" (we thought the successors of the apostles were sent to call sinners to repentance) "of the neighbourhood to take their places as worshippers in an apartment like the upper-chamber at Jerusalem, is so unlike all that we have been accustomed to expect from the lordly prelates of the Establishment, that we wonder whereto these things tend. His lordship is dealing a more deadly blow at Tractarianism in his diocese, by such pious, sensible, and simple work as this" (can his object be only spite after all ?) "than any evoking of legal authority, verdicts in the law courts, re bukes, suspensions, or dismissals could possibly do."—Court Journal. We are inclined to ask ourselves if this be not a roguish hit at the Establishment. If not- 6, Save me from my friends." Considering, however, that the author evidently looks upon Protestants and Atheists as much the same, we must not be surprised at his expressions. In speaking of the anniversary of the " Jour des Morts," he says, naively, " There are—and that for SHARE MA.RKET.-(12118 DAY.) ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Closing •Paid.

Not countries, a vast number of persons who cannot en- withstanding the somewhat complicated plot the dure any sight or sound, any thought or word, events are not extravagant, and the general tone of which in any way reminds them of the close of the work proves the author's sympathy with un-. life." We were not aware that Protestant coun tries possessed such an unenviable monopoly of flinching integrity and rectitude:of feeling. that dread of death which is common enough in all parts of the world, but which is not often carried to an extent which reminds us of the Austrian minister (who by the way was not a Protestant), who had such a dislike to the word death, that his secretary wishing to inform him of the king's decease had to return a state paper which wanted filling up with the words, " His Majesty signs no more documents." We are inclined to dispute the right of a Catholic to inform us that "We fear it must be allowed that while the Protestants know what is right it is the Catholics who practise it," but we willingly turn to the less controversial parts of the vo;umes, only re marking that we marvel that one so well ac quainted with the sufferings of the poor should find anything to regret in the position of the labouring classes in France before the revolution. There are some amusing anecdotes of the gamins. JUDICIAL STATISTICS. The " gardiens" of the Luxembourg are of course sworn foes of the gamin, and are subject to all the pranks which " gatninerie" can invent. One day last summer a party of gamins were disporting themselves by rolling about among the dead leaves in the broad walks. They were in the midst of their frolics when they were espied by the gardien, who approached the spot with rapid steps, and raising, in a menacing manner, the stick with the help of whic he was walking, exclaimed, " Allons done, petits demons !" but before ho could proceed with his threat the swarm had dispersed like so many flies disturbed on a lump of sugar, except one who stood with folded arms to brave the enemy. "Ah ! c'est bien," exclaimed the " gardien," glad to have some one on whom to concentrate his ire ; " c'est toi qui vas payer pour les autres. Viens la que je to rosse, comme to le merites," said he, seizing him by the arm, and raising the aforesaid weapon ; but there it remained, for the little imp, who knew his points of law, never budged an inch, taking his adversary completely aback by his imper turbable sang froid. " Non, monsieur, vous ne me roNserez pas du tout ; vous allez memo me lecher sur le champ," answered he, as he made a sudder jerk on one side and released himself; " d'abord it n'y a pas d'article qui defend de jouer avec les feuilles mortes ; et quanta votre baton," added he, with a sneer, " ou prenez vous que vous avez le droit d'en rosser qui que ce soit ?" Then turning to the man, who stood knocked a-heaps, he said, with authority, " Montrez moi votre consigne.' However, we may forgive the gamin the follies of his youth when we reflect on what he sometimes subsequently becomes. If he sows wild oats, he not unfrequently reaps a harvest of glory and world-wide fame. In what country in the world shall we find a regiment like the Zouaves ? And most of these brave and dauntless fellows began life as gamins. We must all remember the gallant Eugene Libaut, a sub-officer of this fearless corps, who was the first who planted the French flag upon the heights of Sebastopol. His general knew well the stuff of which he was made ; he simply put into his hands the standard of France with the words : " C'est le drapeau signal—partez !" Libaut was the first to dart from the trenches, leading after him the whole column. Though struck on the head by a heavy stone as he reached the ditch, this intrepid young fellow did not even stay his progress, he continued to scale the heights amidst a hail of projectiles of all de scriptions, and soon the standard of the first division was seen floating from the Malakoff Tower, forming a rallying point round which the French soldiers grouped thernselVes and maintained their position stoutly. The author has not resided for six months in Paris without learning to be discreet on political matters. He gives, however, one amusing anecdote. " Another extract from the Gazette des Tribunaux, records the punishment of Le Sieur Dassaud, a political convict, pardoned and residing at Chateldon, who is condemned to six months' imprisonment and 500 francs damages, for publicly speaking against the Emperor. " Louis Philippe's policy in such cases was, to make a snatch at popularity, by pardoning—with a show of mag nanimity—those condemned to punishment for offences against his person. " Of Louis XVIII. it is said, that on an occasion on which he received an affront, he sagaciously reprimanded a police officer for arresting a man who, in the crowd per mitted to approach the monarch in his Royal Gardens at Versailles, was heard to mutter, as the King passed, 'va gros cochon.' " salmi his Majesty, with true Bourbon finesse, qui t'a donne le droit do penser, que de telles paroles pouvaient s'adresser 3 moi " It might be be tter if such observations were oftener listened to only with a deaf ear. Not long after the acces sion of the Emperor, a man was brought before the Court for singing out Vive la Republique.' " ' Why,' said the magistrate, what an incorrigible rascal you are ; it was only the other day you were hero before.' " ' C'est vrai, Monsieur le President,' replied he, cette fois la c'eltait pour avoir erie "a bas, la Republique."' " It was not the prisoner in this case who looked the more foolish of the two." The account of the various charities and associa tions of Paris, is of value and interest. The writer however, tells us nothing about the upper or middle classes, where by-the-bye he might have made com panions more favourable to English domestic mo rality, but the phases of life which he has chosen to show us are undoubtedly " realities," and as such well meriting attention. The work shows care and labour; an earnest feeling for his subject, and a thorough acquaintance with it. The Story of Italy. By the author of " Mary Powell," &c. Bentley. Those who are admirers of this brilliant authoress will be pleased to meet with this work, in which she has expressed herself with her accustomed felicity, and where she has relinquished the ficti tious tale for the chronicles of some of those shining lights of their country whose names adorn her annals, and whom an admiring posterity is proud . to reckon as her glorious and gifted sons. Few lands can equal Italy in the possession of a bright band who swell the ranks of renown, and point out to the contemplation of the philosopher, the regret of the lover of progress, and the wonder of the criticising historian, that, however fallen is now the position of the land, it has shone pre-eminent and distinguished in the days of old for many a name that has since been resounded by the trumpet of fame, and the echoes of whose praises shall yet reverberate "down the ringing grooves of change' to many a distant generation. There is much to at tract and interest in this book. It is very satis factory to meet thus with an epitome of the re markable men of their age. It recals events to the mind that may have partially forgotten them, and suggests refleetions to those who study the relative connection of divers circumstances. Perhaps the most noticeable of the sketches here met with, are those of Rienzi and of Francesco da Carrara. He has been described as a prince with whose merits and misfortunes all Italy rung from her mountains to the sea; and the ac2ount here given is a most favourable one. It is very sad to find that his re storation to power and prosperity was but transient, and too soon succeeded by darker clouds of ominous forebodings, until at last a violent death termi nated a life that had shone so brilliantly, and been adorned with dating deeds of emprise. At the present juncture it is very appropriate and truly acceptable to meet with this little volume ; and when Italy is the war-cry of progress, and the beacon for military ardour, it is well to note in how many ways her sons have distinguished themselves in the pages of history. Altogether, this work may be called a success in its peculiar line, and does ample justice to the reputation of its writer. The Two Homes. By William Mathews, author of " The Heir of Vallis." Three vols. Smith and Elder. This is an interesting and well-written tale. It has a variety of characters, some of them original, and forcibly drawn. The incidents are numerous, but none of them over step the bounds of proba bility. The chief part of the story is laid in the years 1846-7, and relate to the great monetary crisis that then paralysed the energies of the com mercial world. The moral of the book appears to be a very valuable one—that honour and integrity are as possible in mercantile dealings as, in any more ambitious profession, and that it is a short• sighted error to suppose that merchants and men of business must be necessarily sordid and grasping. Edward Graham, the hero of the book, is of an en thusiastic and excitable nature, possessing, never theless, a stern sense of right, and strength of pur pose to carry out his good intentions. He is the only son of a merchant, and his father, who has little sympathy with him, is anxious for him to assist him in his business, though a provision made by his grandfather leaves Edward independent. He reluctantly agrees, for ill-health has made him headstrong and captious, and he regards trade with disdain. The great point of the story is that Mr. Graham, encouraged by the brother of his wife, a fashionable lady, Edward's stepmother, invests some money with which he has been entrusted by a gentleman in India, in the railway speculations which were the ruin of so many in that year. Edward becom ing acquainted with this, strongly objects, as he knows their correspondent intended that his money should be invested in the funds, and not in a wild speculation. A serious quarrel with his father is the result, and after a severe illness he goes to Madeira to recruit his health. There he meets Mr. Ryland, the Anglo-Indian, who is otherwise mixed up with the story. He has become aware of the deceit practised upon him, and is f ur th er en lightened by Edward's candid disclosures. They are all aware of the perilous state of things in Eng land, and at length Edward pel•suadesl\lr. and he Ryland to allow his father time for repayment, invest his fortune in the firm, hoping by personal superintendence and careful retrenchment, to sur mount its difficulties. Mr. Ryland agrees, and thus matters are arranged, after much perplexity and trouble. There are two love stories, and two heroines—both the dau g ht ers ofMr. Ryland. One a fair gentle English girl, and the other the daughter of an Indian mother, wild and impas sioned with all the striking characteristics of her race. They are skilfully contrasted, but Minnie, the English girl, is far more attractive than her weird-like sister. The interest is well kept up, One of the light blue-books, so distinguished from the ordinary issues by its colour as well as by its square form, contains the official report on Judicial. Statistics for the year 1858, in two parts. Part I. refers to "Police," "Criminal Proceed ings," and " Prisons' ;" Part 11., to " Common Law," " Equity," and " Civil and Canon Law." These are presented to both Houses of Parliament by . command of her Majesty; and the returns relating to police pursuant to the Act 19 and 20 Victoria, cap. 69. It must be understood that the reports refer ex clusively to England an d W a l es , an d to the year 1858. We naturally commence, as the report does, with the branch of " Police." The total number (or, as the report says, " amount") of the police and constabulary was, last Michaelmas-day, 20,256, thus constituting, as it were, a little army in blue uniforms. 55 of these were chief constables of counties, 102 head constables of boroughs, 500 superintendents, 657 inspectors, 1,933 sergeants, 16,576 common constables, 291 special (additional) constables, and 138 detective officers-specimens of whose peculiar skill and almost miraculous powers of discernment are given by Mr. Dickens in his novel of " Bleak House." There are 5,804 borough and 7,549 county constables, 6,225 metropolitan police-constables, and 608 City of London constables, appointed under the local Act of 1839. There is an increase of 1,069 men, or 5.6 per cent., as com pared with 1857. The total cost of the police last year amounted to £1,447,019, of which £1,081,747 went for salaries and pay, £106,097 for clothing and accoutrements, and £108,896 for station-house charges, &c. The expenses of the police are chiefly defrayed from local funds, but a portion is contri buted (X 288,639) by her Majesty's Treasury. The census of 1851 showed that there were 125,470 males and 178,639 females of no regular vocation vagabonds, in fact-including paupers, prisoners, vagrants, and persons " of no stated occupations and conditions." It must not be inferred that these 314,109 persons live by crime ; but they are un doubtedly not, as a class, a fountain of goodness. The careful and continuous observations of the police, however, show that in September last the " criminal class," properly so called (taking in the prison population), included 160,346 persons-viz., 101,656 males and 58,689 females, of whom 134,922 (81,669 men and 53,253 women) were at large, the rest being within the walls of prisons and reforma tories. Thus only 1-sth part of the criminal class is incarcerated, from which it is inferred that offenders pass that proportion of their time in gaol-" a re sult which would prove great impunity in crime and a lengthened career." But there is little doubt that a constant change in this class is going on, that many are reformed, and that " fresh-blood" recruits the void thus opened in the ranks of the rogues. The youth of a large portion of the criminal class is one proof of its constant recruitment. The police returns of the classes under 16 years of age are 12,069 males (14.7 per cent.), and 6,738 females (13.6 per cent.) making a total of 18,107 of both sexes, or 13.9 per cent. On the other hand, it is fair to assume that a large number of liberated convicts are absorbed in honest employments, and that the prevention of crime is making satisfactory progress. Another class of facts is interesting. It appears that there are 25,120 "bad" houses, 3,122 of which are tenanted by " receivers," 7,096 are "cribs," or tiouses the resort of thieves and prostitutes (public houses, beer, and coffee-shops), 7,915 brothels and " houses of ill-fame," and 6,937 those common " tramps' lodging-houses" which the Registrar- General and the officers of health are daily denounc ing as hotbeds of typhus fever and other virulent contagious diseases. 57,868 crimes (properly so called) were committea in the year ended the 29th of September, 1858-the maximum in the quarter from October to December, and the minimum in that from July to September. For these crimes as many as 30,458 persons were apprehended, or politely told by the police that they " were wanted." A large amount of petty depredations, however, is not represented in the returns, and it is to be feared that these are never detected. 18,396 persons (60.4 per cent.) of those appre hended were proceeded against after arrest, by being sent for trial on commitment or bail. This further proceedings against them are recorded under the next head of " Criminal Proceedings." Besides the persons, arrested for more serious offences, 404,034 were prosecuted summarily, and of these 260,290 were convicted and punished by justices of the peace, 143,744 having been liberated. Of the 260,290 convicted 65,263 were committed to gaol, 160,636 were fined, 50 were whipped, 10,360 held to bail, 3,781 "delivered over to army or navy, and 19,750 otherwise punished. The leniency of the great bulk of these punishments will show the light character of the offences generally, but several large classes of offences, far from venial, are in cluded, as for instance, stealing, and attempts to steal and commit felony, aggravated assaults, and the possession of stolen goods. 51,861 persons (8,971 women) were convicted of drunkenness, the assaults following, as a natural consequence, in pretty direct ratio; 21,698 (out of 40,224 charged) were convicted of thefts, stealing, and attempts to steal, under the Acts of 1847 and 1855, and 18,630 under the Vagrant Act. There were 23,561 offences against the Police Acts, 16,709 cases of malicious damages, 13,087 against the Licensed Victuallers Acts, and 8,929 against the Game Acts. Of those charged with indictable offences, who form the most criminal class, 21.5 per cent. were known thieves 234 suspects (to use the French word), and 17.7 per cent. persons of previous good character. Pro ceedings were taken, by indictment and summarily, against 24,587 known thieves (40,032 returned " at large"), 24,636 prostitutes (28,760 at large), 54,149 suspects, and 21,473 vagrants. Against the large number of 260,200 summary convictions in 1858, only 60 appeals were lodged at the quarter sessions, 30 of which were quashed, and 68 in the superior courts. 19,846 inquests were held by coroners in 1858- 13,597 on males and 4,249 on females. These cases included 183 of murder, 197 of manslaughter, 4 of justifiable homicide, 1,275 of suicide (always over 1,000 a year), 8,947 of accidental death, 2,611 " found dead," 227 of drunkenness, 188 of disease and neglect, 158 of want, cold, exposure, &e., and 5,792 deaths from causes not specified. The coroner complain that the police do not give due information of deaths. The murders and suicides exhibit a pretty " constant quantity ;" the average of suicides in the last three years was about 1,300. The ages of the persons prove that 44.5 per cent. (or nearly one-half) were from infancy or se nility, least able to protect their lives. The per centage was-infants, 27.8 per cent. ; children between 7 and 16 years, 8.4; adults, between I6tind 60, 47.1 • and old and infirm persons, 16.7 per cent. The total cost of these inquests was £58,973, or an average of nearly £3 for each inquest. Under the head of "Criminal Proceedings" (a necessarily supplementary chapter to the foregoing one of " Police ) we find that 17,855 commitments were brought within the jurisdiction of criminal courts in 1858 ; the commitments have greatly fallen off of late years, but this is mainly owing to the altered forms of procedure under the Criminal Justice Act. The decrease of commitments is marked in Middlesex, Surrey, and Kent, and elsewhere. Lancashire is a remarkable exception to the rule, the commitments in that county not having dimi nished since the new jurisdiction conferred by the Act of 1855. The statistics of 1853 exhibit generally a decrease of the gravest crimes, both in offences against the person, and, in a very marked degree, in violent offences against property. Malicious offences, especially incendiarism, are rapidly declining. knownOffence t s o o t f h ea criminal political calendar, charaete and are may at they present long continue so !
