The Dispossessed German Prine,s. met with a cart, which ho hired, placed it on it, and had it conveyed to St. Peter's Cemetery for burial, Donat him self being the chief and the only mourue r. The coffin and supposed body wore taken into the chap sl of the cemetery, where the burial service was road over *tt by the Rev. Mr. M'Quoid, and in a solemn manner, with all the profuse ceremonials of the Roman Catholic Clyarch, the ostensible remains of Douat were consigned to the earth. The whole of these circumstances, which in themselves were highly suspicious, without availing himself of the mass of other information he had obtained, induced Sergeant Druscovitch to apply for a licence from the Secretary of the Homo De partment to exhume the coffin said to contain the body of Vital Douat. This having been obtained, Inspector Wil liamson, Sergeant Druscovitch, and two gentle Men who wore personally acquainted with Douat, proceeded to the cemetery, having proNiously furnished themselves with proper stimulants if the effluvium from the body should require the use of them. The two gentlemen referred to attended for the purpose of identifying the body of Douat, as he was u ell known to them, and the coffin having been exhumed it was opened, but to the gratification of the officers and the two witnesses it was found empty, no stimulants, of course, being required ; and the whole of the suspicions which had previously been formed were fully realised. The whole of the funeral was a sham, and the conviction was forced upon the minds of all that Douat was still left amongst the living. The weight of the supposed body of Douat had been made up for by the introduction of an additional quantity of lead to the load lining above stated. Upon these facts being mentioned a warrant was granted by Sir Thomas Henry, chief magistrate, for the apprehension of Douat for an offence against the Registration Act, and a search was im mediately instituted by the officers, and the result was that they discovered the aelinquent had taken his departure for America, and was thus beyond the pale of the English law. lily correspondence, however, just received, it appears that, although Douat evaded the penalties of the English law, he has recently been captured on his return from America, to Antwerp by the Belgian authorities, and under their Ex tradition Act he will be handed over to the French Go vernment, to be dealt with by the tribunals of that country for his fraudulent bankruptcy, and also for his attempted fraud on the Paris life insurance office. Should he be con victed there, of which there can be little doubt, he will be amenable to a greater amount of punishment than he would in England for making the false registration. There is reason to suppose that his wife, who is at large, may at some future time beplaced in the same position as her hus band. Thus so far ends this very remarkable history, which is only another illustration of the maxim, that truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. BERLIN, Sept. 24. barley s, with ans were.

The Duke of Saxe-Meiningen has issued the fol lowing decree and proclamation to his subjects : " We, Bernhard, by God's grace Duke of Saxe- Meiningen, &c., after profound and conscientious examination, have determined.upon renouncing the government of Saxe-Meiningen in favour of his Highness our well-beloved son the Hereditary Prince George, Duke of Saxony, and to place that govern ment in his hands from this date. In communicat ing this fact to our old subjects we cannot abstain from expressing our gratitude for the proofs of fidelity and affection they have so frequently given us during the long continuance of our government, and from associating therewith at the same time our most heartfelt wishes for their constant prosperity. We further announce that we shall in future bear the title of Bernhard of Saxe-Meiningen. " To my faithful Meiningers,—The iron destiny of our age has struck us also.. I this day quit the government of the country that I have ruled with affection and fidelity for five-and-forty years. Ido it with sorrow and profound emotion. I had hoped to remain your duke until the end of my days, and I have only come to this resolution to spare you the sacrifices I could neither have averted from you nor from the country in any other manner. The govern ment passes to my son, the hereditary Prince George, whom may God assist in his difficult course. The prince enters in full vigour upon the new era, and will probably know better how to adapt himself to it than would have been possible for me. Receive him with confidence and affection, as he will cer tainly meet you with trust and love. May God protect my dear country ! Now ready at all the Libraries, In 3 vols., FEW .

PROVIDENCE ROW ox NIGHT REFUGE, FO HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-row„ Finsbury, E.C. Sixty Thousand Nights' Longings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have boon given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in ,the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refusedadmittance, andhavo to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required.

Presentation of the Robert Raikes Lifeboat. Last evening, at the Agricultural Hall, Islington, amid circumstances of considerable interest, this Sunday-school lifeboat was formally presented to the Royal National Life boat Association. Mr. Alderman Lusk, M.P., presided on the occasion, surrounded by about 1,500 of the young con tributors, who occupied the orchestra, and by several mini sters and members of tho committee. Richard Lewis, Esq., barrister-at-law, the secretary of the Royal National Lifeboat Association, attended to re ceive the boat. The Rev. Dr. EDMOND'S having offered prayer, The CHAIRMAN said they had that evening another proof of what the children of this countrycould accomplish when they applied their minds to a good work.. Already they had built a missionary ship, and they had sent out the John Williams to carry glad tidings into the innermost parts of the earth. (Cheers.) And now they had subscribed to pro cure a lifeboat, so that the brave men who were extending our commerce might be rescued in the hour of peril. Long might it be before the lifeboat which the Sunday-school children of England that night presented to the Royal Na tional Lifeboat Association should be required for service, and in the hour of need might it be effectual in saving life, and a crow of brave men never be found wanting to man it. (Loud cheers.) Mr. LEWIS then formally accepted the boat, of which ho gave an interesting description, and entered into details concerning the services rendered by the society during the past year. - Mr. SPARE, tho secretary of the fund, presented a report, from which it appeared that in the commencement of the movement the greatest encouragement had boon given to it through the kind contributions of Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. Wood and Sir B. Palmer, both of them Sunday school teachers. The schools subscribing to the fund were of all denominations, and the amount from each varied from half a-crown to £2O. The average amount, however, from each school had realised about £3. The entire amount subscribed by the children and their friends had reached £603 Bs. 9d., but of this sum the children alone had contributed £544 18s. 6d. The cost of the lifeboat with transporting car riage and gear, amounting to £l5O, having been met, the balance was already forming the nucleus of a second life boat. (Loud cheers.) Tho boat would be permanently settled at Brighton, the municipal authorities having granted a site for the erection of a handsome boat-house. In the course of the proceedings the children present, being the representatives:of 150 schools who had taken part in the movement, sang appropriate melodies under the able direction of Mr. Kuntz, of the Tonic-Sol-Fa Associa tion, whilst Mr. Coward presided at the organ. The ceremony of formally delivering over the boat to tho institution was witnessed by an immense number of spoc tators, who testified their approbation by loud cheers. A Case of Fraud—A Man following his own Coffin to the Grave• One of the most remarkable incidents that has ever oc curred, the details of which closely border on romance, had for some time occupied the attention of the detective de partment of police of Scotland-yard, and it is now brought to such a stage that most important revelations will shortly be made to the French authorities. It appears that ono Vital Douat, a very extensive wine merchant of Bordeaux, insured his life to the amount of 100,000 f. in one of the insurance offices in Paris. After which he returned to his place of business at Bordeaux, but subsequently failed, and was declared by the laws of France tobe a fraudulent bankrupt to the amount of .£24, COO. He suddenly disappeared, and about a month afterwards his wife presented a certificate,' purporting to be a copy of the register of the death and burial of her husband, Vital Douat, in England, at the insurance-office in Paris, and claimed the amount for which his life had been insured. Some suspicion arising in the minds of the 'officials at Paris, the insurance money was not paid, and the case was forwarded to the British authoritiesior investigation. Tho matter was placed by the Home Office in the hands of In spector Williamson, chief of the Detective-office, who directed Sergeant Druscovitch (the officer usually engaged in foreign inquiries), to collect the whole of the particulars of the case, as to when and whore Vital Douat died, and also the place whore his body was interred. The officer in commencing his inquiries, although meeting with nume rous difficulties, succeeded in ascertaining the following extraordinary facts:—After quitting Bordeaux, Douat came to London and took up his residence at Ford's Hotel, in Manchester-street, Manchester-square, giving the name of Roberts, 'when, after remaining for a few days, he desired a French waiter at this hotel to write him out a certificate in English, purporting to be signed by Dr. Crittie, to the effect that one Vital Douat had died on the 29th of Decem ber, 1865, of aneurism of the heart. Notwithstanding the observation made by the writer as to Roberts's requesting the certificate of death to be written two days prior to the .alleged death taking place, he was persuaded to do it, and ho wrote the certificate accordingly. On the Ist of Decem ber this certificate was presented to the Registrar of Deaths at Plaistow, in Essex, by Douat, who now assumed the name of Bernardi, and the death was registered in the usual way, it being stated that the body was than lying at No. 32, Ann-street, Plaistow. On the same day he produced a certificate from the Registrar of Deaths, the sexton of St. Patrick's Cemetery, Low Loyton, ordering a grave to be dug, and paying the regular burial fees, appointing the following Sunday for the funeral. Having made these ar rangements, ho then went, in the afternoon of this day, to an undertaker in the Milo-end-road, to whom he gave the name of Rubiui, and purchased a full-sized ready-made coffin, in which he caused to bo placed a thick lining of lead, and the handles altered from the sides to the ends of the coffin, in the manner usually adopted in Franc) and other Continental countries. On Sunday, the 3d of the same month, Donal unexpectedly appeared again at the undertaker's, paid the agreed price of the coffin, called in two labourers who were passing by, and had it carried to the Shoreditch station of the Great Eastern Railway,whero it was booked for Leytonstone, and Douat himself was also a passenger by the same train that conveyed the coffin. When the coffin arrived at Leytonstone Douat accidentally WINSLOW HALL, Winslow, Bucks, having been recently opened and fitted with requisites for the care and comfort of the INSANE, the proprietor, Dr. BOISRAGON, announces that he has transferred his Estab lishment from Birmingham to the above desirable residence, easily accessible. and distant from London about an hour and a-bal by the London and North-Western hne, and filty minutes from Oxford. Attached to the mansion, situated on a sandy soil, and commanding an extensive and pleasing prospect, are garden, meadow , p lantation, and recreation grounds.

Very recently several members of the music-hall profes sion gave their concurrence to a project for establishing Music-hall Almshouses, and an active working committee was appointed for the purpose of devising the best means of carrying the scheme into success:al operation. In the course of their deliberations they received many suggestions, which indicated a somewhat general desire among the class whom they represented that, in addition to the proposed alms houses, and worked by the same officers, there ought to be founded an institution more provident in its character, mad a sick Fund was pointed at as b e i ng b es t ca l cu l ated to meet the pressing requirements of music-hall professionals. The committee wore fully alive to the fact that the Dramatic, Equestrian, and Musical Sick Fund was in existence; but as the establishment of an independent sick fund was pressed upon them by members whose opinions they considered en titled to respect, they resolved to convene a meeting of the entire music-hall profession, with the view of having the question ventilated, and that meeting was hold yesterday at Weston's, Holborn ; Mr. Holland ) one of the proprietors, presiding. The CHAIRMAN having stated the circumstances which led to the present mooting being held, admitted that tho Dra matic, Equestrian, and Musical Sick Fund Association el:- tended its benefits to the members of the music-hall profes sion ; but the committee of management was purely dra matic, and the Ahnshouses Committee thought it would be well if they could succeed iu having the constitution of that executive body modified. IV; th that object, accordingly, they addressed a letter to Mr. Benjamin Webster, president of the fund, requesting an interview, but their communication was not oven acknowledged. Thinking that the first request might have miscarried, they wrote a second time. Mr. Webster, however, st'll remained silent. Meanwhile it was suggested from various quai tors, why not have a sick fund of their own. (Hear, hear.) That was the question they had assembled to consider, and ho would be glad to hear remarks besting upon the subject.. Tho profession felt somewhat annoyed at Mr. Webster's apparent discourtesy, but he (Mr. Holland) confessed that if the Dramatic, Equestrian, and Musical Fund management were placed upon a wider basis by the admission of the music hal' element, ho would advocate the support of that insti tution, which had an accumulated fund of £1,600, and was in the 12th year of its existence, rather than the establish ment of an independent sick fund for those of the special class who then surrounded him. SLOMAN approved of both almshouses and a sick fund for the members of the music-hall profession, but each ought to bo worked independently. If they attempted to associate the two schemes in any manner, they might rely upon it that the manage would prove an unsuccessful one. Mr. ALLEN gave it as his opinion that nine out of every ten members would prefer a sick fund for their own pro fession rather than contribute to the Dramatic Fund. Mr. JULIAN said he should not urge ono word in defence of the Dra,matid and Equestrian Fund, for it required none ; but he believed that those who supported the project of a now fund know vary little of the incalculable good which the old fund had been the means of effecting during the 12 years of its existence. Mr. P. CORM would not say ono word disparaging of the Dramatic and Equestrian Fund ; but the music-hall profes sion was at least as powerful as the theatrical. Indeed, there were 20 music-halls to one theatre, and in London 46 music halls alone, and they would not submit to be treated with either nonchalance or insult. After some conversation, a resolution to the following effect was proposed by Mr. Page, for 46 years connected with music halls, and seconded by Mr. West:—" That a sick fund be now established for music hall professionals only." Mr. J. W. Assoc, the secretary of the Dramatic, Eques trian, and Musical Fund, explained the cause of Mr. Webster's silence. That gentleman had been away for several days in Scotland with a shooting party, and it was only yesterday that letters received during his absence were placed in his hand. The last act Mr. Webster would be guilty of was discourtesy to any man. Mr. Anson then put before the meeting, in a few business-like sentences, the practical advantage of contributing to a benefit fund having the experience of twelve years' duration, and backed up with an accumulation of £1,600, in preference to the establishment of a new fund for any particular branch of the profession. He believed there would not bo the least objection to meet the views of the music-hall profession with respect to an enlargement of the committee of ma nagement and an extension of the administration ; and if an adjournment wore agreed to, say for one week, he would be prepared to lay before them not only a letter from Mr. Webster, but a definite proposal regarding, the future constitution of the executive. Mr. Anson's satement was accepted as in every respect satisfactory, and the proposed adjournment to Tuesday next was immediately agreed to. Thanks having been voted to the chairman for his con duct while presiding, and for the use of Weston's Hall, the meeting separated.

[AnvEwrl9EMENT.l—That the fearful annual mortality of if, instea d o f flying blindly to pills and mecUeines, 60,00 young c hildren and delicate persons of all ages may be arr ested, which, though apparently relieving the patient, have in reality no other tendency than that of increasing debility, and with it the danger of life, we were simply to study how to Inc , ease the vital force by imparting new and pure blood, upon which the harmonious development of the whole frame depends, has been successfully proved by Du Barry's Inva lids' and Infants' Food, the Revalenta Arabica, and its thousands of cures annually. It yields three times as mu:h easily assimilated nourishment as the best meat, hnd for children it is the best substitute for human milk. Dr. Routh, physician to the Samaritan Hospital for Women and Children—the best au!hority on each matters—in his admir able publication on Food, says—Amongst the vegetable sub stances, th which comes closest to milk in its composition is, without doubt, Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, h con taining both phosphoric acid in abundance and chloride of potas.lum ; it aho includes casein, the same is found in milk in its constituent part . No wonder, there fore, that under its influence many children affected with atrophy (wasting away of the body), and marked debi ity have completely recovered.

The chair was occupied by Mr. E. Hooson, the pre sident, and a magistrate. The gentlemen present were Mr. Edmond Beales, Lieut.-Col. Dickson, Alderman Rummy ; Messrs. Jacob Bright, Ernest Jones, E. 0. Greening, H. M. Steinthal, S. Watts, jun. ; the Rev. S. A. Steinthal, the Mayor of Ashton, &c. The first toast was, " The Leaders of the People, John Russell and William E wart Gladstone." The CAIAIRMAN then gave "The Health of John Bright," which elicited the most enthusiastic cheer ing, the toast being drunk standing. Mr. BRIGHT, M.P., on rising to respond, was again greeted;with prolonged plaudits. In the course of his speech the hon. member said :---Now there are dif ferent platforms ; there are very great differences in the religious world ; but still the religious world pro poses to itself to march on to one common end. There are differences in this school of politics—the Reform school. But still we may all march on to one common end, which is a real representation of the people in the establishment of popular power as supreme in this country. (Hear, hear.) Now, al though we some of us differ, I believe the difference arises from this :—Many believe that something less than the proposition of the League is sufficient, not only for the purposes of the League, but of all re formers. That is sufficient to make the House of Com mons a true representative of the people. Well, I believe that the middle class of this country, speaking of them in any way that you like, by any kind of measurement or ascertainment of their opinions —my own honest opinion is that they would consider at this moment that a bill that advanc3d as far as household suffrage was in itself, considering all the interests and opinions of the country, a wiser mea suretor a Ministatto propose than that of manhood suffrage, and that they believe that it would give to the country a really honest Parliament. (Hear.) My view of the whole question of these differences is this—that when one sees a real movement some thing grand in its proportions, powerful for the gaining of results, the plan of a sensible man who wants to do something, and does not want to split hairs, is to take with that movement, to help it, and to make the best of it, and to get all the good he can out of it. (Cheers.) I was sorry to find from the papers the other day that some friends of mine —I refer most to one whose letter I read—in the West Riding of Yorkshire take a different view of this matter. I read a very fine, and, I am sure, a most conscientiously dictated letter from Mr. Baines, the member for Leeds, to the committee who are organizing a great meeting that is to take place in the West Riding. He declined the invitation to attend the meeting, on the ground that he was not in favour of manhood suffrage. I don't blame any one for holding such an opinion. lam not in favour of manhood suffrage, as against household suffrage. (Hear, hear.) But he people of Leeds or the West Riding don't want to commit Mr. Baines to manhood suffrage by his attending the meeting. lam not committed to-day any the more because I have attended the meetings. So far as I have seen of the working men in connexion with this movement I find them tolerant in a high degree and considerate and respectful of and to all those who may honestly differ from them in any degree ; but as still honestly friendly to the admission of any con siderable number of them to the franchise. (Hear.) They would admit all to work, and we should all work on with perfect unanimity up to the point where the work parts from us and falls into other hands. Make this movement as large as you like ; carry it on from the West Riding to Nor thumberland and Durham ; from there to Glasgow ; after it has exhibited itself in Glasgow, perhaps at the beginning , of the year it may reappear in greater proportion than ever iu Loudon. (Hear, hear.) But, let it take any proportions that you please, finally it will become a question for the deliberation of 12 or 15 men, who are tho Queen's immediate advisers, what shall be the precise measure presented to Parliament. They will have to consider that what is called the Conservative opinion of the country—the timid opi- nion. (A laugh.) I am not speaking now of those who are passionately against all Reform, and who hate the very name of popular power, but I speak of the section much larger than lies between us and them, who arc quiet stay-at-home people, who pro- bably read their newspaper, and have as good a feel inn. towards the working man as any of us have, but who have not sufficiently considered this question, who are not courageous enough in spirit to join in a great movement like this, but when a Cabinet come to discuss a measure to submit to Parliament they must necessarily take into consideration all this amount of opinion. Well, now, with great defe rence to my friend Mr. Baines, for whom I have a most unfeigned respect, and whose services in con nection with this question can hardly be over-esti mated, I am very sorry that he and others have not found it consistent with their views of duty to at tend these meetings, to give to them all the support in their power, to make of the whole Reform feeling and opinion of the country one grand and powerful force, because, depend upon it, the resistance which we have by us is not easily to be surmounted, for we shall not, in all probability, cut off the enemy in de tachments,and unless we meet in some form and shape I know not how it is possible we can eventually triumph. (Hear.) I believe the time is coming when this question must be laid hold of by a Government, and that Parliament will feel that it dare not treat it in future as it has treated it in the past. These great meetings, as Mr. Mill very justly said , were not meetings so much for discussion as they were meetings for demonstration of opinion, and, if you like, I will add for exhibition of force. (Cheers.) Such exhibitions, if they be despised and disre garded, may become exhibitions o f anot h er kind of force. Now, I have been insulted in past times, not a little in this very city, that I was in favour of peace at any price. I always said that I was not in favour of war at any cost, which I think 10 years ago my opponents were. (Hear.) I believe that however much any of us may abhor the thought that political questions in any country should ever again be settled by force, yet there is something in the constitution of our nature that when these evils are allowed to run on beyond a certain period unre drersed that the most peace-loving of men are un able to keep the peace. (Hea r. ) And bear this in mind—that, however much we may wish political questions to be settled by moral means, yet it is no more immoral for a people to use force in the last resort for the obtaining and the securing of freedom than it is for a Government by force to suppress and deny that freedom. (Loud cheers, the audience rising.) I must ask pardon of my friends hero for touching upon what may be termed " abstract prin ciples." (Laughter.) We are, doubtless, a very long way—longer than can be measured, I hope from the time when it will be necessary seriously to consider questions of that nature. (Rear, he ar .) I think that the question w as settled in 1832 whether the changes which maybe necessary i n th e govern ment of the United Kingdom can be accomplished by peaceable means, or whether force will be neces sary for their completion. In conclusion, Mr. Bright expressed a hope that when Mr. Beales and his League friends returned, they would show to the powers that be, to the Government that is, and to the Government that s h ort l y, he hoped, would be (loud cheers) that th e ques ti on of Re f orm h a d taken . deep root the minds of the people, and that Par liament might as well shut its doors for every other kind of legislation whatsoever until it consented to pass a bill that should satisfy the just and moderate expectations of the people. The hon. member resumed his seat amid loud cheering, and the proceedings shortly afterwar ds terminated. [ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's ring.
