The Americans have always been intolerant of opposition, and it was never safe to oppose the passions of the crowd too strongly. During the progress of the war this cha racteristic was so strongly marked that the few journals that at first ventured to support the cause of secession were compelled to succumb to the popu lar dictation. One of the most violent defamers of the South was originally an advocate of Southern rights, and there are probably a good many sup porters of the Federal cause who in their hearts are willing at least to admit the right of the South to a separate Government, even though they may not be willing to concede them the exercise of that right. It is quite a new doctrine that the grand old state rights are visionary and extinct, that the central Government is to be the one irresponsible head, and that the Governors and Senates of the different States are to exercise no more political influence on the destinies of the country than the Lord-Lieutenant of an English shire. Americans should weigh well the results of the course upon which they are now entering, for in grasping at the shell they will lose the pearl. In claiming rights which are not constitutionally theirs they will forfeit those real and substantial blessings which their forefathers so hardly gained for them. The indictment of President DAVIS is not an insig nificant event ; it includes much both in the past and in the future, and it impossible for reasonable Americans to deny thatthey are virtually contradict ing their own acts. With this "so-called" rebel and the " false traitors" who assisted him, the Northern Government held communications as with a recognised belligerent. Prisoners of war were ex changed, armistices and treaties made, and finally terms of peace concluded. Nay, the PRESIDENT of the United States himself did not disdain to accom pany his chief Minister to hold parley with com missioners appointed by JEFFERSON DAVIS. If scession and warfare were treasonable, where is the differencebetween LEE, BRECKENRIDGE, and DAMS Excepting perhaps that the one showedmore energy and perseverance than the others. It is not too late for the Federal Government to pause in their rash and headlong course, and if there is anything like popular representation left we trust the people will summon them to do so. On Saturday evening there was a grand banquet at the Fishmongers' Hall, which was honoured by the presence of the Prince of WALES. His Royal Highness made a very interesting speech on the occasion, and the entertainment was most satisfac tory on the whole. The Prime Warder, in propos ing the health of the Prince, observed that it was not flattery, but a fact, that the " esteem and affec tion with which his Royal Highness was regarded by her MAJESTY'S subjects were owing no less to his amiable manners, his kindly disposition, and the condescension which he invariably displayed in his intercourse with all classes of the community than to his exalted position." This is true, for the Prince has on all occasions shown himself most anxious to conform to the wishes and meet the requests of all classes ; and by, his ab sence from pretentiousness and affectation, he has everywhere acquired golden opinions. The Prince, in responding, adverted to the satisfaction which he felt in being present there as a member, a freeman of the Corporation. An additional interest was imparted to the proceedings from the fact of the Fishmongers' Company being the first of the ancient guilds of the city which presented its freedom to the Prince after his attain ing his majority. The Prince alluded in a feeling manner to the loss of Mr. CUBITT, who had been the Prime Warden when his Royal Highness took up the freedom of the company. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE'S remarks on the army were charac terised by an appropriate vigour, and his Royal Highness paid a deserved compliment to its merits and services. He said that the army was scat tered over the world, and that in times of peace they had real and onerous duties to perform. When we consider the vicissitudes of climate, the monotony of colonial existence, and the various hardships they have to encounter, it is impossible to over estimate or to exaggerate the importance and interest of their services. As the Commander-in-Chief the Duke of CAMBRIDGE was the right person to descant upon the improvements that have taken place of late in the army, not only as regarded the efficiency of the service, but its moral and social condition also. Lord C. PAGET'S speech was very entertain ing, and his lordship was enabled to impart an interesting piece of information, which met with general approbation. The Emperor of the French has just sent an invitation to the Government to send our armour-plated fleet round the w coast of France, while the French armour-plated fleet will come round the coast of England. This is, as the noble lord styled it, a " courteous and friendly offer," and it is satisfactory to know that it has been responded to. It will be a fine sight, as was mentioned there, for any lady or gentleman to go to Plymouth to see both fleets together. Such an event as this cannot fail to increase the goodwill existing between the two nations, and will besides cause emulation and incite improvement. Lord ELCHO, of course, was quite at home with " The Volunteers," for whom he returned thanks. His lordship observed that we may now regard the "Volunteer force as one of the permanent institutions of the country, and if :we hear less of it than formerly, it is because it has arrived at a hum-drum jog trot, which is a token of its flourish ing condition. Lord ELCHO contrived to do a stroke of business while making this little speech, for he observed that the contest for the prizes at Wimbledon vas near at hand, and he thought that perhaps the Prime Warden and the Company of Fishmongers might wish to associate their names with those of the Prince of WALES and the Duke of CAMBRIDGE as the donors of a prize at their annual contest. The noble lord concluded by hoping that his cool suggestion might not be considered inappropriate on that very hot evening, and that in 2865 " when the National Rifle Asso ciation entertained the Prince of Wales of that day, they might be able to point to a sideboard of plate equally rich and magnificent as the age before them." The Chancellor of the Exchequer made one of his felicitous discourses, in which he alluded to many interesting questions of the day. He began by alluding to his own misfortune in having been blocked up on his way there by a stoppage on Lon don-bridge, and from that circumstance he was led to infer that all desired to belong to the party of progress. The right hon. gentleman created amuse ment by stating that the present Government had reached what might be called the " natural term of the life of an Administration." Septennial Parlia ments were the law, and although septen • vial administrations were not rendered im perative, it is rarely that any Government ever approaches that time. The years that have passed since the present Cabinet came to power have been, as the right hon. gentleman said, of " tha deepest interest to mankind." It is important to dwell upon the fact that we have great cause for thank fulness in having been spared from the struggles that have convulsed others to a terrific degree.

HIGH 'WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. This DAT.—Morning, 3h. 55m.—Afternoon, 4h. 16m. To-Mormow.-Morning, 4h. 35m.—Afternoon, 4h. 55m. ~li~ I LO-4 Sam LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 12, 1865. The substance of the indictment against JEFFER SON DAVIS is now before us, and it does not go far to extenuate the proceedings of his enemies. To indict the Southern President as a " yeoman" inha bitant of the United States is simply ridiculous, and the offence with which he is specially charged is that of exciting rebellion, insurrection, and war in the State of Virginia on the Ist of June, 1864, and further on the 15th of June, 1864, ordering a multitude of insurgents and false traitors to march from the State 'of Virginia to the county of Wash ington, the climax being the attack on Fort Stevens on the 12th of July, so that the grand jury declare that JEFFERSON DAVIS did most wickedly maliciously, and traitorously ordain, prepare, levy, and carry on war with the United States for the subversion of the Government, contrary to the duty of his allegiance and " against the statute in such case made and provided." Very certainly no statute in any constitution was ever framed in contemplation of the organised revolt of six millions of people; and it would have been a simple im possibility for the original framers of the American political system to have recognised the right of one part of the States to govern the other part by force. It is absurd for the framers of the indict ment to speak of JEFFERSON DAVIS as if he were the mere leader of a riotous mob, or the head of a gang of conspirators. Neither Europe nor America can recognise him as such, and the attempt to disgrace the malignity with which Mr. DAVIS is being per secuted under cover of a regard for law and the statutes of the constitution is miserably unsuccess ful. The extreme severity with which the unfortu nate gentleman is being treated in his prison is so out of place when directed against a political pri soner that it gives room for accusations of personal malevolence, and for ever darken suspicions of ulte rior motives. No rational Government would wil lingly lay itself open to such misconstruction of its conduct, and it would naturally be the first wish of a really constitutional administration to secure itself from any appearance of injus tice or oppression. A fair trial is the right of the worst of criminals, but the charge of crime against Mr. DAVIS has been dropped by his accusers. He stands simply charged with aiding and inciting . the rebellion, a fact patent to all the world. Unfortunately Mr. DAVIS'S wealth gives reason to suppose that he, in common with all Southern landowners, is a marked man, and the terms of the 'amnesty, which so scrupulously ex cludes every man of rank or substance, unhappily tends to confirm the growing opinion that property in the South is a crime in the eyes of Northerners. The indictment does not in any way serve to exo nerate the Federal Government from the charge of malice prepense, as no one can attempt to deny that he was the leader of the secession. His defence really rests on a wider basis —in fact, on that very principle which lies at the root of all free Governments, on which the liberties, the greatness, the very national life of America herself is founded—the right of peoples to choose their own form of government. This prin ciple the North, while fighting for the Union, are really undermining, and while they . are declaiming about their sacred rights they fail to perceive that they are really ; --- -opt , ng a suicidal policy. The freemen of the North will really be the sufferers ; it is their future which lies in, the balance—it is their fate which will be affected by the verdict against JEFFERSON DAVIS. If American states men once admit the right of their Government to arbitrary and irres p onsible p roceedin gs , to the repression of adverse opinions with the strong hand, where will be the end ? If the Union—a conveni ent myth—and the Government are to be hence forth the great objects of American worship, and not those theories of freedom S and equality upon which the constitution was originally founded, we shall only have the worst and most dangerous, be cause most insidious, form of despotism. Individual liberty has been virtually at an end under the pre sidency of LINCOLN, but there was at least the ex cuse of a time of 'public danger and the exigencies of the war. ANDREW JOHNSON has no such plea, but he is adopting p r i nc i p l es, and itdming. imewißowl rHE SUN; LONDON, MONDAY EVEMNG, JUNE 12, 1865. elogne nt terms, and said that they were now await ing the verdict of the country through the constitu encies, but that they had little to hope or to desire whother in office or out of it, but that "it might please the ALMIGHTY of His mercy to vouchsafe to the people of this country a continuance of the blessings lately poured on them, and along with those Wessings to give them the, one crowning blessing of grateful hearts to Him, the giver of them all." The assembly had the satisfaction of listening to one of the senior honorary members of the com pany, Lord BROUGHAM. His lordship expressed the pleasure it gave him to be present, chiefly because he considered that hall to be the home of a body of men who had ever been the champions of popular rights and liberties, and also the friends of instruc tion and improvement. The noble and learned lord gave some very wise advice respecting the approach ing elections, and adjured all concerned to avoid the corrupt practices which disgraced the commu nity and injured the reputation of our constitution in the eyes of foreign nations. The noble and learned lord, in concluding, delivered a most impres sive passage respecting America and the crisis now at hand. This exhortation, delivered in a style worthy of the veteran statesman's palmy days of oratory, must be read with interest, and should impress those whom it concerns on the other side of the Atlantic. No ojie has a better right than Lord BROUGHAM to discourse upon slavery, and it is to be trusted that his earnest words will meet with due regard. Mr. CRAWFORD made a very amusing speech in returning thanks for the House of Commons, in which he set forth the evils that environed members, and advised those ambitious of entering that arena to leave the repre sentation of the City in the hands of those who now hold it. This sumptuous entertainment went off in the best possible manner, and the result must have been highly satisfactory to all concerned in the affair, comprising, as it did, the graces of style and the gifts of oratory. Opening of the Lanham Hotel. On Saturday a private view of this magnificent hotel took place, when a number of the nobility and gentry visited it, and none could refrain from admir ing the taste of its internal decoration. The Prince of Wales honoured the directors by visiting the es tablishment, his royal highness being received by the Earl of Shrewsbury (chairman), Mr. Edge cumbe Bendle (vice-chairman), Sir James Car michael, Bart., Capt. Hoare, and other directors. The directors having been presented by the Earl of Shrewsbury to the Prince, the archi tects (Messrs. Giles and Murray), the contrac tors (Messrs. Charles and Thomas Lucas), the furnishers (Messrs. Peter and Foster Graham), Mr. Charles Schumann, manager of the hotel, and Mr. Grant, secretary to the company, were severally introduced to his Royal Highness. The Prince .was then conducted through the hotel, commencing with the basement story and ascending to the summit of the building. The Prince in formed the Earl of Shrewsbury that he greatly ad mired the building and all its arrangements. About 2,000 persons accepted the invitation of the directors, among them being the Right lion. B. and Mrs. Disraeli, Colonel the Hon. C. Lindsay, beside a great many noblemen and other distin guished gentlemen. The hotel stands right oppo site the church in Langham-place, and is the largest establishment of the kind in London. It occupies more than an acre of ground, and being 156 feet in height, it has eight floors, upon which are more than GOO rooms. Thirty suites of apart ments are contained within its walls, there being more than 300 bed-rooms, and there are 36 . baths and 14 lavatories, while the larger apartments comprise a salle a manger 100 feet long and 40 feet wide, a coffee room and other rooms 50 feet square, ladies' coffee and drawing rooms, billiard and smoking rooms, and other apartments " too nume rous to mention." The entrance hall is 50 feet square, and two grand stone staircases open from it reaching to the upper floors. A post and telegraph office, and a clerk's office in the entrance hall show that the directors have not been un mindful of the small comforts of such an estab lishment, while the visitors may, in parties of six or less, be raised to the upper floors with out the trouble and labour of going up stairs. Bed-rooms for visitors' servants and for the ser vants of the hotel occupy a floor between the kitchens and the grand saloons, this portion of the building being entirely fireproof ; while ample means of egress have been secured in case of fire by the corridors surrounding each floor and opening on to four different staircases. And two 16-horse power steam boilers have been put up to fur nish steam to the cooking apparatus, and to raise water to the tanks on the roof, in which no less than 38,000 gallons will always be stored against the chances of fire. The furnishing and decorating of the whole of the interior, by Messrs. Jackson and Graham, is most magnificent, everything being in the richest and best material, and all is carried out with that taste and judgment which so distinguishes the work executed by this firm. We imagined that the large hotel in the Strand furnished by Messrs. Jackson and Graham was a wonderfully well executed task ; but in the Langham they have fairly outrivalled all their former efforts, and the compliments bestowed upon them by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales when he took his departure were well deserved. Another very noticeable feature is the extreme beauty of the plate, the whole of which is en suite of the old beaded Queen Anne's pattern. This has been supplied by G. R. Collis & Co., of Regent-street—a finer specimen of British workmanship we could not wish to see. The decoration of the different articles is most artistic, and as they laid glittering on the sideboard and dining-table the effect was perfectly dazzling. The next remarkable feature is the kitchen, which has been fitted up by the Messrs. Adams, of the Haymarket, in a style which is with out parallel in the metropolis. The kitchen of the Reform Club was at one time looked upon as a wonder, but, compared with that of the Langham, it becomes quite a small affair. The immense ranges of hot plates, hot chambers, fire-stoves, frying and a grilling ditto, present a scene at once novel and remarkable, and one which cannot but increase the reputation of the firm by which they have been constructed and supplied. The tariff of the hotel is at once moderate and complete ; indeed, so moderate that for the sum usually charged for very ordinary furnished lodgings in private houses apartments can be had in the Langham, and those of the most beautiful descrip tion. To-day its rooms are placed at the disposal of the public ; and it will go hard if the public should not appreciate the marked advantages here offered to them. HERR COENEN'S MATINEE MUSICALE.—On Wed nesday afternoon this accomplished pianist gave his matinee musicale !at the Hanover-square rooms, which were crowded with a brilliant and fashionable audience, and the entertainment passed off with great éclat. Among the performers were Madame Shepherd Ley, Miss Wilkin son, and Miss Mina Poole, M. Lazarus on the Clarionet, M. Pagneau on the violoncello, and Herr Oxinen himself and a young pupil on the pianoforte. The concerted pieces were beaitifully played ; one of them, a Sonata in B flat, was the composition of Herr Coeneu, and was very much admired, especially the scherzo— the last movement but one. Mons. Payne delighted his audience, as he always does, with a solo on the violoncello, and the pianoforte solo and duet were also among the prominent successes. Madame Shepherd Ley sung a new song by Claribel Dreamland, with great effect ; and Miss Wilkinson showed that she had made great progress since her debut. The programnte was not too long, and the instrumental and vocal music was so well blended that a pleasant variety prevented any tedium. Altogether, it was a decided success, and must have been very gratifying to the giver. THE PRINCE IMPERIAL'S APARTMENTS at the Tuileries are being refurnished. The bed and toilette table intended fur tho young Prince are just finished, and are exquisite specimens of wood carving, reflecting the highest credit on the distinguished artist who undertook their execution. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE NIAGARA. SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 12. The American war steamer Niagara has arrived in the river. On coming to anchor she fired a salute, which compliment was returned by her Majesty's frigate Irresistible, lying off Netley Aospital. It is expected the Niagara will come into dock to refit. MEXICO. PARIS, June 12. Official despatches have been received here from the city of Mexico to the 10th May, and Vera Cruz to the 14th May by the steam-packet Lousiane via St. Nazaire. The Emperor Maximilian's presence at the works of the Mexico and Vera Cruz railway had given a fresh impetus to the execution of that line. A sec tion of 100 kilometres had already been opened by . M. Cheron, a Frenchman, working under the di rection of M. Julien, the present manager of the Western Railways. A cadastral survey is about to be commenced of all the rural, urban, and manufacturing properties in the country. This labour will serve as a basis for fixing the land tax, which has not yet existed in Mexico, and will furnish great resources to the Treasury. It is approximately calculated to yield an annual revenue of 70 or 140 millions francs, according as the tax may be fixed at 1 or 2 per cent. The financial and manufacturing companies and the foreign capital they import contribute to raise the national spirit. The rural militia, strongly organised, powerfully aid in the extirpation of brigandage ; steam navigation is being developed upon both coasts, and the yield of the mines in creases. The Mexican mint coined more than 332,000 dollars during the month of April, and the merchants are taking measures to despatch at the end of the month of May a considerable convoy of treasure to the Gulf of Mexico. A dreadful accident took place at Mexico on the 4th May, whereby the French colony and the whole population were deeply affected. A fire having broken out in the shop of a French cabinet maker, several French general officers hastened to the spot. The fire was shortly brought under but at the cost of three lives. Colonel Tourre, commanding the 3d Zouave Regiment, Lieutenant Labrousse, of the 99th Line, and trumpeter Schlinker perished in their exertions to save the inmates. The despatches of the Marshal Commander-in- Chief of the expeditionary corps in Mexico are satisfactory. . _ In the State of Oajaca order may be considered to have been re-established, and the garrisoning of the towns has been entrusted to the Austrian contingent. In Michoacan the success of Colonel Potier over Regules, which avenged the disaster suffered by the Belgian battalion, has confirmed the favourable dis position of the inhabitants. On the same day that Colonel Potier defeated Regules a detachment of Belgian and Mexican troops accomplished the de struction of the band of Ugalde, vigorously attacked the previous evening by Colonel Lamadria upon another point of Michoacan. Regules, rendered powerless, was forced to retreat into the Tierra Caliente, where the climate and the difficulty of subsistence render his position still more critical. The activity displayed by the French troops in Sinaloa had produced good results. The inhabitants are organising themselves for defence, and the Juarists bands are fast disappearing. The environs of Mazatlan are perfectly tranquil. While a quar ter of the population are under arms, the remainder are employed in agricultural labours. The district of Concordia is also in a satisfactory condition. Lieutenant-Colonel Cottrel occupied San Sebastian, a small town of 4,600 inhabitants, 16 leagues from Mazatlan, and Las Messilos. The civil authorities are installed there, and have en tered upon their functions. General Lozado has been successful against the Juarists bands of Corona. The agitation caused in Nueva Leon by the ap pearance of Negrete at Monterey has not extended to the department of San Lius de Potosi. The French columns will very shortly enter the district occupied by the insurgents. General Mijia, who had concentrated his forces at Matamoras, was rein forced on the 4th May by the battalion of the Foreign Legion under M. de Brian. The arrival of this reinforcement determined Negrete to arrest his march upon Matamoras and fall back upon Mon terey. The interior departments of the Empire remain secure. The generals appointed by the Emperor Maximilian to the command of the territorial divi sions are now proceeding to their posts, and will immediately commence the organisation of the rural guard. The operations of the Austrian Legion in the Sierra Madre have been successful, and will shortly bring about the entire submission of that district. The steamship Bresilien arrived at Vera Cruz on the sth May with the complement of the Austrian contingent, 1,100 strong, who were immediately despatched to their garrisons. The health of the troops is very satisfactory. FRANCE. RETURN OF TIIE EMPEROR TO PARIS. PARIS, June 10. The Emperor arrived here at five o'clock this evening. Many houses on the route from the Lyons railway station were decorated with flags. The streets were thronged by large crowds, by whom the Emperor was enthusiastically cheered. His Majesty is in perfect health. At night the public buildings and a large number of private houses were illuminated, General Mellinet has been elected Grand Master of the Grand Orient Freemason Lodges of France, by 142 votes, against 36 given to M. Massol.

THIERS.—" M. Thiers," writes the Paris cor respondent of the Thies, " rarely attains the highest flight of what is called oratory. He either does not care to do so or cannot do so. Thero is nothing lofty, or empha ti°, or passionate, or declamatory in him. His words, his tone, and manner aro those used in ordinary converse ; and aro admirably suited to everyday questions like the present. Ho has wit at his fingers' ends, and galvanises even arithmetic with it. His comparison of the ordi nary and extraordinary budgets to the overladen ship obliged to transfer a part of her cargo to a smaller vessel alongside, and then lighten herself to get into port, and his division of the financial comedy into five acts, were worthy of Beaumarchais. M. Thiers may not be eloquent in the ordinary sense of the word ; his force is in what the French call causerie, but it is a causerie of which one can never hear enough, so replete is it with life, so voluble, sparkling, varied by historical allusions always appropriate and anecdotes marvellously to the point. His voice shrill, slightly nasal, and southern in accent, pene trates every corner of the chamber. There is nothing emphatic or theatrical in his gesture. He now and then buttons up his coat and folds his arms, unbuttons and throws it back from his chest, or leans familiarly on his desk, with his chin resting on his hand. He hardly ever refers to a note." MARKETS—This Day, MARK-LANE. The country markets held on Saturday were quiet for wheat, and the tendency of prices was decidely in favour of buyers. Very little chinge took place in the value of barley, oats, beans, and peas, the demand on those articles being on the whole steady. Flower was in but moderate request at late rates. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very small. The imports from abroad were 37,314 quarters of wheat ; 4,462, barley ; 28,350, oats ; 1,000, rye ; 58, beans ; 1,494, peas ; 31, tares ; 17,518, linseed ; 13,732, rapeseed ; 4,100, maize ; 2.500, sundry seeds ; and 227 sacks of flour. On the continent a fair business is passing in most de scriptions of cereal produce, at full prices. Wheat, how ever, is somewhat quieter. At New York the export de mand continues limited.

There was a full average number of foreign stock on offer here to-day. The beasts came to hand in good con dition ; but the quality of the sheep was only middling. Sales progressed steadily, at full quotations. The arrival of beasts fresh up from our grazing districts was only moderato ; but there was a decided improvement in the condition of the stock. The receipts from Scotland were, as usual, very prime; but the supply from Ireland was by no means first-rate. Nearly all beasts were in good request, and in some instances prices ruled a shade higher than on Monday last. A few very superior Scots and crosses sold at ss. 2d., but the general top figure ss. per 81b. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received about 1,500 Scots, &c. ; from other parts of Eng land, 600 various breeds : from Scotland, 702 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland 60 oxen and heifers. There were a few good beasts from Lincolnshire. The show of English sheep was limited, and in middling condition. Prime breeds moved off steadily at full prices. Otherwise the mutton trade was quiet at late rates. The best Downs and half-breds sold at from 6s. to 6s. 4d. per 81b. Lambs (the supply of which was only moderate) were in slow request, at from Os. 4d. to 7s. Bd. per 81b. Thera was a steady sale for calves at Thursday's ad vance.

BOROUGH HOP. The accounts at hand from the Plantations to-day are favourable. Buyers of hops, consequently, notwithstand ing that the supply on offer is small, have shown but little disposition to purchase either English or foreign produce ; and a small business has been transacted in the market. Very little change has taken place in prices, but the ten dency is somewhat in favour of buyers. Last week's im port was 51 bales from Rotterdam, 118 pockets from Jer sey, and 61 bales from Quebec.

The attendance of buyers at the public sales of colonial wool, which aro still in progress, has continued good. Although over 100,000 bales have now been disposed of, both home and foreign buyers have purchased most de scriptions of produce with fair spirit at last week's cur rency—that is to say, at about the prices of last sales for good and fine wools, and at a reduction on the average of Id per lb. as regards inferior qualities. Inferior Port Philip wools have sold at a decline in some instanc3s of lid per lb. German buyers have operated to a moderate extent since our last ; but the principal foreign demand is on the part of French buyers, who continue to take considerable quantities of greasy Cape and Adelaide produce. Accord ing to present arrangements the present series of sales will not be brought to a close until the 29th ult., and the next series commence before the 17th proximo, thus extending the interval of time from one §eries to the other in cQnge- CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. This morning the June session of the Central Criminal Court was opened, there being present the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Alderman and Sheriff Bosley, Alderman Sir F. G. Moon, Alderman Lusk, Alderman Gibbons, &e. The Recorder delivered a brief charge to the grand jury, of whom Mr. Charles Westerton, of Knightsbridge, was, foreman. He said there were in the calendar nine cases in volving the loss of human life, but none of wilful murder. He went rapidly through the evidence bearing on the cases, and added that none of them called for any special remark. There was one case of will forgery, but the jury he thought would have no difficulty with regard to it. The case of the Messrs. Barry is likely to last several days. POLICE INTELLIGENCES—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PLATE ROBBERY AT A CLERGYMAN'S. —George Andrews, general servant to the Rev. Henry Howarth, rector of St. George's, Hanover-square, was brought before Mr. Mans field by Davidson, 301 K, charged with stealing a quantity of plate, of the value of £6O or £7O, the property of his master. The Rev. Henry Howarth, residing at 15, Lower Gros venor-street, said the prisoner was formerly in his service as general servant. On the morning of the 17th January on coming down stairs he found the breakfast table was not laid out. He then made inquiries and found from the other servants that the prisoner had gone out. He after wards, as the prisoner did not return, opened a cupboard and found the plate basket empty. On going into his library he found that the lock of a circular table in which he kept loose money had been forced open and a pair of court buckles taken away. Two coats and other articles were also missed. In answer to Mr. Mansfield, the prosecutor said the plate was silver, and consisted of articles of the usual kind. Ile had a good character with the prisoner. None of the property had been recovered. Dawson, 301 A, said he found two duplicates on the pri soner, relating to the coats stolen, Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner. _ _ MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—Frederick Wray, described as a general dealer of 11, George-street, St. Giles, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with violently assaulting and wound ing Charles Robbins, a constable of the E Division, with a life preserver, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. Sergeant John Clifford, of the E Division, said the pri soner was charged with violently assaulting police con %table Robbins, 94 E, who was unable to attend. The sergeant handed Mr. Mansfield a certificate from Dr. Ross, the medical officer to the E Division, to the effect that Robbins was unable to attend, owing to the serious injury he had received. The sergeant said the assault was committed with a life-preserver, which was taken from the prisoner. The constable was removing some disorderly women when the prisoner came up, and, without saying a word, struck him a violent blow with the life-preserver— the effect of it being that the bone above the eye was broken. Mr. Mansfield asked the sergeant whether he knew the priSoner. The sergeant said he was a ticket-of-leave man. Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner, and said if the evidence warranted it he should send the prisoner for trial WESTMINSTER. VIOLENT ASSAULT UPON A LICENSED VICTUALLER AND ins SoN.—Edward Lant, a labourer, a strong muscular man, wag charged before Mr. Arnold with assaulting Mr. William Hughes and his son at the Admiral Keppel, in the Fulham-road, and with assaulting a police-sergeant. It appeared from the evidence that between 9 and 10 o'clock on Saturday night the prisoner called at the Admiral Keppel and wanted something to drink. Mr. Hughes, jun , seeing that he already had something to drink, refused to serve him and told him to leave. He refused and was very abusive. A policeman was sent for, upon which the prisoner became very violent and struck him (Mr. Hughes) and afterwards kicked him. It was a deliberate kick and might have done him a very serious injury. Mr. James Hughes, a partner, said that he called upon the prisoner to leave as he was making a very great dis turbance. He also threatened witness, and said that had it not been for the presence of the sergeant he would have broke his neck. The prisoner said that he was struck in the house by some one. Sergeant Morgan, B 3, said he took the prisoner into custody. While he was there he saw him make two kicks at Mr. Hughes, and, upon his doing so, his (Hughes's) father struck the prisoner. Mr. Arnold—Was he very drunk ? Mr. Arnold observed to the prisoner that ho had com mitted two serious assaults, and that he had acted in a very cowardly manner. The prisoner was sent for six weeks to the House of Correction with hard labour, and was bound over to keep the peace for six months. TALLOW.

Mrs. Ward was married to her husband, John Ward, an engineer, at Poplar Church on the 19th of January, 1857, and he deserted her on the 19th of June following. She had never seen him nor heard from him since, and he had not contributed one farthing towards her maintenance. Mrs. Ward was questioned by the magistrate, and said that she had been cook and housekeeper in several families, and had a good character. She had not acquired any property. Mr. Partridge—Then you have nothing to protect against your husband? Mr. Spiller would explain. This was a case that came came within the Matrimonial Causes and Divorce Act, and an order ought to be granted. Mrs. Ward had come into possession of money left by her mother. Mr. Partridge—ls the money settled on Mrs. Ward ? Mrs. Ward said it was. Mr. Partridge thought this was not a case in which he could interfere. A protecting order would be useless in this case. Ile would, however, look over the Act of Par liament, and speak to Mr. Spiller again when he had heard other applicants. On the case being resumed, Mr. Spiller said that his client had acquired money under two wills—from her mother and her uncle—and it was to protect that money from the husband, who had abandoned her, that be sought an order. The applicant's money was, in fact, at the mercy of her husband. If he, the husband, was vile enough to desert hie wife, and not contribute to her support for eight years, he might claim her money. Mr. Partridge—Has the money been acquired by Mrs. Ward since the desertion ? Mr. Spiller—Yes, sir, the whole of it. Mr. Partridge—And is she living in this district? Mr. Spiller—Yes, sir, at No. 57, Mansell-street, Good man's-fields, Whitechapel. Mr. Partridge—Very well, Mrs. Partridge is entitled to an order of protection, and one is granted. SWIMMING MATCll.—This morning at 7 o'clock a most interesting match took place among the members of the Serpentine Swimming Club—the prizes being three silver modals, and the distance 250 yards.. Seven gentlemen entered, and a well contested struggle was the result, in which Mr. D. N. Halsey, of the Edge, ware-road, proved the most successful. This gentleman won the first prize in the most gallant manner. The second prize was secured by Mr. W. Morris, and the third by Mr. G. Dullard. Mr. Merrick was a good fourth, and Messrs. Bullet, Dasten, and Sothern followed in the order here given. We should mention that Mr. James Humphrey, swimming master to the club, acted as starter ; Mr. Thos. Evans as judge ; and Mr. H. Colster, captain of the club, as referee. DUKE DE MORNY'S SNUFF-BOXES.—The proceeds of the sale of the late Duke de Morny's snuff-boxes the other day was 52,000 f. A MINOR POET'S DEATH.—The Publishers' Cii cular informs us that Mr. John Stanyau Bigg, the author of a mystical dramatic poem called " Night and the Son]," which attracted some attention a few years ago, died on the 19th ult., at Ulverston, in his 37th year. " Night and the Soul," though highly eulogised by Mr. Gilfillan, belonged to what is called the "spasmodic school ;" and in spite of some truly poetical lines it soon passed into obli vion. Though founded on vicious models, however, it was a work of promise : and its author's untimely end will be regretted by admirers who looked to his pen for some pro duction of a more enduring kind.

THE OXFORD. Again have we to thank Mr. Morton for one °f the most pleasing musical novelties it has been ou r good fortune ] of hearing for a long time. O n Saturday he presented to the public a very charnling selection from Offenbach's operetta, entitled " 66 1; which was first produced six or seven years ago the Bouffes Parisiennes. The solo parts were con fided to Miss Russell, Miss Barrie, Mr. St. Albyn' and Mr. Green. The plot of the operetta, we Pre sume, from the " selection" we had on Saturday' turns upon the freaks and fortunes of a rustic" going lover, who wins a large fortune in a lottery ; 66 being the lucky number, of which h e is the holder, and which entitles him to 100, 0 florins. The part selected for execution a t the Oxford is that in which the drawing for the late**, occurs, and the opening duet by Misses Russell an Q , Barrie was sung with such telling effect that it elicited a rapturous encore. The lottery trio of Mi ss Russell, Mr. St. Albyn, and Mr. Green was not only finely sung but excellently acted, each of theartistes throwing a good supply of point and fun into their respective parts. Mr. Green, who so fully distin guished himself in the " Orphe," came out again ill great force as the manager of the lottery ; his song/ " Ah, if in Paris I had stayed," was most artisticallY given ; and Mr. St. Albyn deserves unstinted CO"' mendation for the tenor part of the performance' Altogether, " 66" is a great and enthusiastic sae" cess, and one which will have the effect of attracting for many months crowds of admirers to the Oxford' AT ARCHBISHOP MANNING'S CONSECRATION , the tribune reserved for the diplomatic body, were their Excellencies Prince de Latour d'Auvergne, the For tell Ambassador; Count Apponyi, the Austrian Ambassv dor ; Baron Brunnow, the Russian Ambassador ; Don Patrick Comyn, the Spanish Ambassador; Marque; Fortunato, late Neapolitan Minister ; Marquess d'Azeglio, Sardinian Minister ; M.

MR. SALA ON A KLEPTOMANIAC !—ln on- Mr. Sala's picturesque letters from Algeria, c° ll , tri ; buted to the Daily Telegraph, we have a choice bit of literar y gossip. Says Mr. Sala:—" A dear good lady, n s ' ill a o Rogers—yes, Mrs. Albert G. Rogers is the name—did out here last winter with her husband, an estimable clergyman, and essay to convert the heathen by 03°35 of tracts. I have heard much of her pious exertion le, Algiers. Her mission seemed to have been a d 0 on ce barrelled one, for she was desirous of demolishing at °tfie the arch-impostor Mahomet, and that wicked old ru st ` t he Pope of Rome.
