THREE O'CLOCK. 881 s xd xd THE SUSPECTED FENIAN MAN-OF WAR, Last night it was generally reported that a vessel fully armed and equipped as a man-of-war had been seized in the river Medway by the authorities of the Government on suspicion of being intended for the service of the Fenians. The statement, however, turns out to be nearly untrue ; the ship, instead of being the property of the leaders of the Fenian conspiracy, has been built in this country for the Columbian Government, and as she was being fitted out as a war frigate, the circumstance gave rise to numerous suspicions. The statement that she was intended for the use of the Fenians is without the slightest foundation, and when the necessary proof of the intended destination of the vessel is laid before the authorities, she will be at once released from custody and allowed to proceed to her destina tion. MARKE T rhi3 MARK LANE. We have again to report a quiet trade for all descriptions of English wheat. The fresh arrivals, although only moderate, have, together with the supply remaining un sold from Monday, been amply sufficient to satisfy the wants of the few millers in attendance. The prices are quite equal to those quoted on Monday. In foreign wheat the transactions have been by no means extensive, nevertheless late rates have been well supported. The show of samples is tolerably good. For floating cargoes of grain the demand has been inactive, on former terns. The barley trade has ruled quiet, at late rates. Malt has been in moderate request on former terms. Fine oats aro firm in price, but heated and inferior par cels are difficult to sell. Fer both beans and peas the inquiry is steady at late rates. Flour moves off slowly on former terms. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. English and Scotch 430 1,150 910 540 Irish Foreign 13,550 9,610 39,420 2,820 brls. BOROUGH HOP.

Last night the interesting ceremony of presenting medals to such members of this society as had dis tinguished themselves by superior excellence in the art of photography took place at King's College, the presentation being made by Sir F. Pollock, lately Chief Baron of her Majesty's Court of Exchequer, the president of the society. The learned president on entering the room was most cordially welcomed by the members of the society. Dr. DIAMOND having read the minutes of the meeting, which were confirmed, Sir F. POLLOCK, previous to distributing the medals, made a short and interesting address on the progress of the human race within the last seventy years. He mentioned incidentally that he remem bered very well the outbreak of the French revolu tion, the rise and fall of Napoleon 1., and various other striking features in that revolution. He re marked that probably in no equal period of the world's history had so many important political events been crowded together, while on the othe r hand the progress of arts and sciences and their application to commerce and every-day life had been still greater. The principal events which had in fluenced the history of the 'human race were the application of steam to locomotion, the discovery of the electric telegraph, and also of photography and its application to every day life, and to the promo tion of science. (Hear, hear.) Having referred to the fact that the construction and working of rail ways had reduced Great Britain, for all purposes of personal communication, to the capacity of a single English county in former days, and to the fact that the electric telegraph had brought the whole world as it were much closer together, he spoke of the great merits of photography not only as a means assisting science (remarking that it had led to the discovery of the true character by Mr. Delarne of the red spots on the sun, which had been observed by astronomers), and also as a means of detecting and identifying criminals. Referring to his recent retirement from the bench, he observed that when he ceased to be an advocate and became a judge, he felt an ,immense relief in not having to try to persuade a jury that a plaintiff or a defen dant was in the right, but that his duty was con fined to discover what was the real truth between them ; he found that it was a still greater relief to have no question to decide as between A and B, but leisure to look to the entire truth of all nature, and to pursue the study of philosophy. (Cheers.) Among other things he hoped that he should be able to devote more attention to the Photographic Society than he was able to do before under the heavy pres sure of his judicial duties, of the weight of which he was never so fully conscious as when he had left the bench. (Cheers.) Medals were then awarded to Lord Hawarden (one to his lordship, and one on account of the ex cellence in photograph of the late Lady Hawarden) ; to Mr. Fenton, the founder of the society ; Mr. Bed ford (landscape photography), Messrs. Robinson and Thompson, Col. Wortley, Messrs. Claudet, Williams, and Jubert, Major Gresley, Mr. Toovey, Dr. Maddox, Mr. Buxton, Mr. M'Farlane, Mr. England, and Mr. Mudd. The medals presented were extremely beau tiful, bearing on the obverse a portrait of the late Prince Consort, the patron of the institution, and on the reverse the figure of Phaeton driving the horses of the sun, designed by Bartolozzi. After the presentation of the medals Mr. Dall meyer delivered an interesting discourse upon a new portrait lens, the discussion upon which was ad journed. A vote of thanks to the president concluded the proceedings. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Pills—Low Tempera ture.—Muggy, cold, or changeable weather is very apt to undermine the health, unless the stomach be kept up t o it s highest state of digestive efficiency. Holloway's pills improve the appetite, and so promote digestion that a large supply of new materials is thrown into the blood after every meal, whereby fresh vigour and activity are bestowed on every organ, and ability to resist disease is conferred upon the system. These pills thoroughly purify the blood when it has been tainted by fogs, unwholesome vapours, Improper food, or other impurities ; and no medicine equals these pills for removing bilious complaints, suppressing sickness of the stop, checking flatulency, and acting as mild yet effective aperients, which are suitable fur either sex and any age.

MANSION-HOUSE. THE CHARGE OF ROBBERY AGAINST THE ASSISTANT RE CEIVER OF THE CHARTER-HOUSE.—Benjamin Gore Booth, lately occupying the post of assistant receiver to the Go vernors and Company of the Charter-house, was placed before the Lord Mayor on remand, charged with embez zling a large amount of money, the property of his em ployer. It will be recollected from the reports of this case, which have been already published, it was the duty of the pri soner to receive money on the part of the employers, and afterwards to pay it into the Bank of England. It a; pears that the prisoner kept the bank pass-book, and in order to conceal all knowledge of his defalcations he kept a falsified copy of the genuine pass-book, which, when any inquiry was made relative to money received ho pro duced, in which all the money appeared correctly entered. An examination into the previous accounts took place, and then . the system ho had pursued was discovered. The defalcations were stated to amount to about £lOO. Bomo additional evidence, principally consisting of that given 17 bankers' clerks, relative to the cheques which had passed through the pris'oner's hands, having been given, he was fully committed for trial. NOTES ;PROM TRAINING DISTRICTS. (THIS DAY). NEWMARKET. The weather has been most inclement here of late, but this morning our trainers were enabled to give their teams plenty of fair exercise. Regalia, Chepstow, and Caithness were out early, and galloped about a mile and three-quar ters. Gladiateur was trotting and cantering about. Seal skin took D'Estournel a mile and a quarter, and Ley bourne led Ravioli about the same distance, the Thzby going brilliantly. In fact, there is not a better mover or a more improved animal on the Newmarket training grounds than D'Estournel. Broomielaw pioneered the Hermit steadily in his work; after several short canters they galloped over a mile, and the latter pulled up as lively as a kitten. Knight of the Garter, Tempest, and Blinkhoolie were exercising with little Bertie ; and Vespasiau was Attending to the confederacy yearlings. Mat Dawson brought out Avron, Archimage, Flying Scud, Julius, Pericles, ILunbastes, and other- two year-olds, but they merely cantered smartly. Apsley and Wild Agnes galloped a mile and a half. We may state that with Gilbert's string Moleskin and Rochefort were in nice work. Friday and Cecrops led The Rake, Fripon nier, Van Amburgh, Numa Pompilius, and Guy of War wick several sharp canters, after which The Rake and Van Atuburgh went a mile steadily. Vandervelde and Mount Palatine were leading a lot of yearlings from John Dawson's. Rue in Urbe was trotting. Hippia, Jasper, Janua, Falkenstein, and others from the Baron's stable were cantering freely ; so were all Lord Glasgow's horses. Peter Price galloped Stradbroke about a mile b and Bar rington was limited to trotting and walking. Star of India did over a mile ; the same may be said of Python and the two-year-old Atnanda. colt. Saccharometer, Godmersham, Hatty, Narino, and Viridis cantered freely. Wo also noted that Ettrick, Londesborough, Cyclone, the Miss Erskine colt, La Puce, Honesty, Highwood, the Arrow colt, Argentel, Thornby, King Charles, Pedagogue, Assineboine, Beauclerk, and several other two-year-olds at good exercise. The Dragon cantered with Imperator and Enchanteur, and then galloped quite a mile by him self. Trocadero, Cerf Volaxtte, and Longchamp trotted and cantered. 90 92 4il .50 30 35 3) 3) ,231 241 ;0 81 13i 10, 10 20 iipt ;17j 80 8 45 15 121 122 14 2 p 10 11 SI 85 ) 122 If 2 p 90 02 35 36 4 18 IC4 1t 6 65 67 9d IGO 34i 35 9 10 p 118 120 1 2p 1 210 70 72 114 118 148 152 42 44 02 43 8 9 150 263 2b 3i BRITISU rossEssioNs.

ALLEGED VIOLENCE OP THE POLICE.---A BRUTAL FELLOW.—Wm. Young, a powerfully-built young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting police sergeant Wm. Smith, 1 C, and also with being drunk. Sergeant Smith, 1 C, said yesterday afternoon, seeing a crowd of persons assembled in Prince's-street, Regent street, I went up to ascertai n th e cause , a nd found the pri saner in a cab drunk. He was urg in g th e cabman to drive him, but the cabman refused because the prisoner was drunk. I told the cabman to ask, the prisoner to get out of the cab, and he did so, but the prisoner refused. 1 then told the cabman to put the prisoner out of the cab, and that if the prisoner struck him I would take hint into custody. The cabman got prisoner out of the cab, when he began abusing the cabman, and as the prisoner was creating a disturbance, I had to remove him, when he became very violent, tried to kick me several times in the face, and then gave me a blow in the face, and kicked mo in the side and knock3d me down. The prisoner had to be carried by main force at last to the station. [lt should be stated that Mr. Tyrwhitt received a letter from Mr. T. Hill, of Addington-square, complaining of the police holding the prisoner by the hair while taking him to the staticn. J Mr. Tyrwhitt—flow many police were employed ? Sergeant Smith—Before we got to the station, seven The prisoner kicked and tried to strike amongst the crowd. I never had a more. difficult job in my lift than getting the prisoner to the station. He tried to bite other constables' legs, and twisted about like an eel, being very drunk. Mr. Tyrwhitt— Did anybody lay hold of the prisoner's hair ? Sergeant Smith—No, sir. It took 20 minutes to get the prisoner to the station, and, being near the Circus, ac counted for there being so many polico near. The prisoner got hold of the constables' trousers with his teeth, and the constables had to pull his head away from them. Mr. Tyrwhitt (to Inspector Bowles)--Did you make any remarks of an offensive character to the gentleman who came to the station (Mr. Hill)? Inspector Bowles—l did not. On the gentleman coming to the station and complaining of the constables taking hold of the prisoner by the hair, I asked if they pulled the man's hair, and they all denied it. Mr. Tyrwhitt—The writer of the letter says he cannot attend. It is a pity when people abuse the police they do not attend. Mr. Hill ought to have had to assist in taking the man to the station, and not merely to look on. Win. Richardson, 212 0, proved that on the way to the station the prisoner seized him by the trousers and his boot with his teeth, and that the constable had to pull his head away to make him release his hold. He never pulled the prisoner's hair. Sergeant Smith—l am suffering a good deal from the kick on the side. Other evidence having been given by the police, Mr. Tyrwhitt asked them all whether they pulled the pri soner's hair, and they all denied it, and stated that the pri soner was very violent. John Templer, of Maida-hill, said that had not the ser geant interfered with the prisoner he would have gono away quietly. He saw the constable holding the prisoner by the hair. The constable denied this. Mr. Tyrwhitt—lt is a drunken case but one attended with violence. As to persons who make such an unusual fuss about taking a wan like the prisoner —a drunken, brutal fellow—into custody, it is a pity they do not have to assist in doing it themselves. It is impossible at times to help something being done with a man so violent. The prisoner was evidently a brutal fellow, as the cabman would have nothing to do with him. He should commit the prisoner for ten days for the assault on the sergeant, and fine him ss. or four days for each of the other assaults WESTMINSTER. OtE. OLD SYSTEM OF THIEVING REVIVED.—Edward Wentworth, 29, Garoline-place, Chelsea, valet, was charged with another not in custody, with stealing £1 12s. Gd. and a coat, value £2 10s., the goods and monies of David Griinwood. It appeared from the evidence, that on last Tuesday evening the prosecutor, who is coachman to Mr. Ellis of Brompton Hall, met the prisoner whom he knew by sight, and, the latter saluting him, they went to a tavern in Knightsbridge where they were joined by a stranger from the country, who appeared to be unknown to prisoner, and said he had come into £1,500. They went to another public-house where the countryman proposed they should spend a pleasant evening, and prosecutor went on his business and returned 'to them at half-past six. Thence they proceeded to the Mitre in New-road, Chelsea, where the prisoner proposed a game of bagatelle for £2. To this prosecutor and the countryman assented. Pro secutor staked £1 12s. 6d., the prisoner offering to make up £2, and the countryman staked £2. Prosecutor took off his coat, andilaid it on a sofa, to begin the game, and when the game was about to begin the prisoner requested the prosecutor to step outside for a moment as ho wished to speak to him. Prosecutor did so, and the prisoner said, "We will do the old man out of his £2." They went back to the room door ; prosecutor opened it, but found that coat, money, and countryman were gone, and on turning to' look for the prisoner he was gone too. Information was given to the police, and the prisoner was apprehended by Gunter, 310 B, to whom he made a desperate resistance. He is well known to the police. Remanded for a week. THAMES. HIGHWAY ROBBERIES IN TUE EAST.—Richard Bowman, alias Butram, a rough-looking fellow, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with others in assaulting and robbing James Anderson. The prosecutor, a seaman, dwelling in Market-hill, Shadwe]l, was passing along Ratcliff-highway, last night, and was crossing the road and about to enter an eating house, when the prisoner and three others came up to him and hustled him and alsd struck him. They set about rifling his pockets, and took .away his watch and £2 in money, consisting of half-sovereign, a ss. piece, other silver and some halfpence. He sung out police as loud as he was able and the thieves ran away. The prisoner was caught by a police-constable named Charles Skinner, No. 439 K, who hoard the cries of " police," and help, and at the same time saw four or five men running. One of thorn said, "Is it all right, Bill." They ran into an alley where there was no thoroughfare at the end, and the prisoner was seized. lie was asked why ho was run ning, to which he replied "I was running after my pals." Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner till Saturday next. John White, a young man, was charged with being con cerned with others in assaulting and robbing Captain Thomas Jarvis, the master of a merchant ship. The prosecutor resides at No. 14, Wentworth-terrace, Commercial-road. He was on his way home along the Commercial-road last night, and at the top of Arbour street, near the Thames Police Court, ho was accosted by a woman who made some overtures to him. He re pulsed her, and went across the road to get rid of her company. She followed him and laid hold of his arm. She said she only wanted to speak to him for a minute. Ile said, " What is it? What do you want ?" She said, "I cannot talk to you here; there are two men following us;" and ho took her to a corner of Albert square, when she put her hand in his pocket and took out his purse, which contained his money and two gold rings. He seized laer hand, and said, " What are you doing ?" The prisoner and another man came and seized him. He shook them off, and collared the pair of them. One got y ladies came to his aid, and materially assisted him. o woae, of and the the menri so and rthe called woman out, "Slay th e --." T w o who first attacked away,pne him ran away. H e got the prisoner down, and stood over him with a stick until a police-constable arrived. William Frooston, police - sergeant No. 58 K, heard loud cries of "help" and "Police" at 15 mi nu t es pas t 11 l as t night. He found the prisoner and the prosecutor both on the ground near the railings of Albert -square. The pro secutor was uppermost. lie asked the prosecutor what he had done, and lie answered, "He has assisted in robbing me." The Prisoner—Ho hit me, and I called " Police." Freeston—lt was not the prisoner's voice calling out Police," it was the prosecutor. Mr. Paget said this description of robbery was very common at the west end of the metropolis, one woman a n d two men acting in concert—the woman first ac cos ti ng th e victim and enticing him inta a secluded pl ace. Th ere has not been much of it in the east lately. lie remanded the prisoner to Saturday. ELEVEN SKATERS DROWNED. —A number of skaters were disporting on the lake of the chateau of Chen nitz, near Cologne, one day last week, when the ice sud denly gave way. Nineteen persons were got out, but eleven others were drowned, and fears are entertained that two more have shared the same fate, as they have been missing since the occurrence. RICHMOND. Plaudit, ridden by Snowden, went two smart canters and a mile and a quarter gallop, led by Strathconan as usual. The moor continues very heavy. Rose galloped a like distance with Newland.

Yesterday afternoon the members of the Smith field Club held their annual general meeting in the board room of the club, at the Agricultural Hall, Islington. Amongst the members present were the Duke of Richmond (in the chair), Lord Walsing ham, Lord Berners, Major-General Hood, Lord Tredegar, and Messrs. Barnett, Druce, Wallis, Belwin, Howard, R. Smith, Overman, Woods, and Elman. The HON. SECRETARY (Mr. B. Gibbs) read the annual report of the council, which stated that it had been found necessary to obtain a special licence before the show could be held, and to obtain that licence arrangement had to be made for the Metro- politan Board of Works to give the Privy Council an undertaking that all cattle should be slaughtered within four days after leaving the show. The club had to give a similar undertaking to the Metropoli tan Board, and had in turn required exhibitors to relieve the club of the responsibility. The excess of the expenditure during the past year over the re ceipts was £276 18s. 6d. ; of this, however, £lOO of the expense had been caused by the cattle plague. To meet any extra expense which might occur they were happy to say they had the sum of £4,175 9s. sd. At the present show there would be a saving of £45 over the cost of the previous year. Mr. MooßEmoved that the report be received atid adopted. There seemed, he said, to be such a gene sral feeling of satisfaction that he would not trouble them with a detailed reference to the report. He would just express what he was sure was felt by them all, that a 'great deal was owing to the exer tions of their hon. secretary. (Hear, hear.) Mr. TURNER seconded the motion, which was car ried unanimously. Lord BERNERS proposed that Lord Hardwicke be elected President of the Smithfield Club for the year 1868. The nobleman he proposed had not been amongst them for many years, and he was sure that his advent as President would be hailed with plea sure by them all. (Hear, hear.) Lord FEVERSHAM seconded the motion, but begged to ask if it had been ascertained that Lord Hardwicke was willing to accept the position. Lord BERNERS had not ascertained that as a fact, but he did not think there was any doubt about it. The motion was then put and carried. Mr. BARNETT moved the re-election of the vice presidents. Mr. CLAYTON seconded the motion, which was put and carried. The HON. SECRETARY announced the death of Mr Greethacn, late one of the trustees. Major-General Hoop, after regretting the death of Mr. Greetham, moved that the vacancy be filled up by the appointment of Mr. Torr. Mr. ELNIAN seconded the motion, which was then carried. Eight new members of council having been elected, and the balance-sheet, having been read, Lord BERNERS moved a vote of thanks to the chairman. The motion having been seconded and carried with acclamation, The noble CHAIMIAN expressed his gratification at meeting the members of the club as President. lle would like to take the opportunity of stating publicly how much they were indebted to their honorary secretary for his exertions in getting per mission for the show to take place. If it had not been for that ,gentleman the Smithfield Club would not have held its show this year. He, in connexion with the hon. secretary, was, at the conclusion of that meeting, going to wait upon the Privy Council, or Colonel Harley, to ascertain whether the order for the slaughter of the animals exhibited within four days of the close of the show applied to sheep as well as to cattle. No time would be lost in ob taining an answer to that important question, be cause if that order did not apply to sheep the exhi bitors would have a better chance of making proper terms with the butchers. He had no doubt they would be able to post the result of their interview with the Privy Council in the hall in the morning. The meeting was then concluded. The sale of the prize stock had been very active up to last night, considering the restrictions placed upon the owners. The following were the chief sales Class 1, Mr. Overman's winner of the first prize had been sold to Mr. Comfort, of Far ringdon-street. The first prize-winner in Class 3, exhibited and bred by Mr. Walter Farthing, bad been sold to Mr. Moss, of Wormwood-street, City.

The first prize in Class 18, exhibited by Mr. John Shoosmith, had been sold to Mr. Richardson, of Tonbridge. The first in Class 20, exhibited by Mr. Moore, Hudson, of Norfolk, had been sold to Collingwood and Son, of Paddington. The first in Class 22, the long horned steers, had been sold to Mr. Harold, of the Cattle-market. The first prize of the Scotch horned steers, in Class 24, had been sold to Mr. Lidstone, of New Bond-street. The firstprize of the Scotch polled steers, in Class 26, had been sold to Mr. Berry, of Red Lion-street, Holborn.

In the sheep and pig classes comparatively very few of the first prizes had been sold. Mr. Hardy, Brompton-road, had bought Lord Berners' pen of fat wether sheep of the Leicester breed, which took the first prize in Class 35 and the silver cup, as the best pen in any of the classes, and the same pur chaser had bought the first prize pen, also exhibited by Lord Berners, in Class 36.

'TIES. Naval and Military Intelligence. An order was yesterday received at Chatham garrison directing detachments from the Depot Brigade Royal Artillery, to be held in readiness to proceed to Ireland to join the 9th Brigade of Royal Field Artillery. The reinforcements are expected to leave head-quarters for Dublin im mediately. An order was received yesterday at Chatham for the transfer to Woolwich, on the Ist of January, of No. 6 Battery of the Ist Division Depot Brigade, Royal Artllery, with the invalid depot of the corps. Owing to this arrangement, the invalid and time expired men belonging to the Royal Artillery, in stead of being sent to Chatham on their arrival from abroad, as has hitherto been the practice, will proceed to head-quarters, Woolwich, where the necessary documents will be prepared, and the in valid troops discharged or sent direct to their re spective stations. On account of the despatch of great quantities of war material and military stores to Canada, the Military Store Staff at Quebec has been augmented by Deputy-Assist. Storekeeper Taylor, from Alder shot Camp. His Excellency the General Command ing in that colony has also thought it desirable to establish military store depots at Toronto, Lou don, and Hamilton, the former being placed under the charge of Assistant-Superintendent Russell—whose appointment to Quebec, vice W. H. Tapp, has been cancelled—and the latter under Assistant-Superin tendent Miller, from Dublin. No. 3 Battery, 2d Brigade, Royal Artillery, under the command of Major Talbot, has been ordered to the North Fort at Liverpool. The Dee, 220 horse power, paddlewheel storeship, Master Commander G. Raymond, having discharged a cargo of copper and other stores at Chatham, left that port yesterday afternoon for Woolwich. The official trial of the four cylinder high pressure steam engine manufactured by Maudslay, Son, and Field, for fitting on board one of the steam launches built at Chatham, took place there yesterday. The engines are of a nominal horse power of six, but capable of being worked up to fully ten times that power. There are four cylinders, each with a dia meter of sin., and length of stroke of Gin. The two screws pre four bladed, and are worked beneath the front and starboard counters of the tender. The diameter of each screw is 2ft. 6in. only, and they are set at a pitch of 3ft. With about 7 cwt. of coals in the boxes, the launch, with the officials superintend ing the trials and the engineers and stokers on board drew 3ft. tin. aft, and 2ft. forward. On reaching the measured mile, near Saltpan Reach, six runs were made at full boiler, when the mean average speed was 7.455 knots per hour, the highest yet attained by engines of this description. The greatest number of revolutions of the screw per minute dur ing the trial was 408, and the lowest 320, the mean pressure of steam being 801 b. The time in making the complete circle was imin. lOsec., while with one engine working the screw to starboasd'and the other to port, the vessel was turned round in her own l eng th ; indeed, during some portion of the trials yesterday, and in the run up to the dockyard, the launch was steered by means of her screws alone. The trial was conducted by Mr. 1% . Eames, assist ant inspector of machinery at Chatham Dock yard, and on its termination the vessel brought up alongside the yard, where the engines will be lifted out to-day, in readiness for despatch to the French Exhibition. A similar pair of engines is being fitted on board one of the other tenders at Chatham dock yard by Messrs. John Penn and Sons, of Greenwich. Her Majesty's screw troopship Tamar, Capt. F.

Am.vrEuß PERFORMANCE.—The second perform ance of the Yore Burlesque Company took place at the Cabinet Theatre on Thursday last, and we observed a great improvement in the acting of the ladies and gentle men since they first appeared at St. Martin's Hall in Sep tember last. They have now conquered the difficulties of the Terpsichorian art., and also sang the songs allotted to them. Great credit is also duo to Mr. C. De Yore, who has the entire arrangement of these burlesques. The enter tainment commenced with the farce of "Mr. and Mrs. White," Mr. Frank Chester and Miss Millie Do Vero sus taining the characters of Mr. and Mrs. White, and by their comic acting kept the audience in complete good humour. Miss Kate Dudley played the dashing widow White, and Miss Kate Ede, Kitty Clover. After which Byron's cele brated burlesque of "Ali Babi, or T he Thirty-nine Thieves" was performed. Miss Millie Do Yore played Abdalla charmingly, and we have no doubt she will soon obtain a good position on the stage. She is about to commence her theatrical career on the Oxford circuit at Christmas. The burlesque was exceedingly well played throughout, and the dances and songs were vociferously encored. The evening's entertainment concluded with " Boots at the Swan," Mr. Quarles Steen playing Jacob Earwig. THIRD EDITIO--.N. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

In the corresponding week of ten years 1856-65 the average number, corrected for increase of popula tion, was 2,001. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,584. It was the 49th week of the year, and the average number of deaths for that, week is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,525. The deaths in the present return exceed the estimated number by 59. The excess is amply accounted for by bronchitis, a disease of cold weather. Only one death from cholera was registered in the seven days ; it Ni as the death of a labourer's child, aged 2} years, at 37, Church-street, Poplar. Th© deaths from cholera in the last five weeks have been 67, 32, 8,3, and 1. The supplement gives definitively the deaths by cholera in each district to every 10,000 inhabitants, and the results may be thus briefly summed up ; in St. George, Hanover-square, 12 in 0,000 died of cholera ; Chelsea, 4 ; Westminster, 6 ; Marylebone, 3 ; Kensington, 4, all on the north side of the Thames, and supplied with water by the Grand Junction, the Chelsea, and the West Middlesex Companies. The following districts on the south side of the river were supplied by the Southwark and by the Lambeth Companies, and the deaths by cholera to 10,000 inhabitants were in Newington, 3 ; George, Southwark, 7 ; Wandsworth, 5; Camber well, 6, Rotherhithe, 9 ; Lambeth 7 ; St. Olave, 9 ; Bermondsey, 8 ; St. Saviour, 7. 12 ; Strand, 7 ; Islingto n, 4 ; The New River, taking about 82 p er cent. of i ts water from the river Lea, supplie s St. Martin-in the-Fields, where the death 4 t the walls,ycholera in. 10,000 inhabitants ; in the C it y of London, 5 ; We st London, a part of the city without Holborn 6 • St. Luke, without 16 ; St. Giles, 10 ; Clerkenwell, 11. lu Pancras, chiefly supplied by the New River, the deaths were 6 ; St. James's (Westminster), 4 ; Hampstead, 1. The East London COmpany draws all its water from the river Lea, but it has pumps at two dif ferent stations, the one at Lea-bridge, and the other two miles below at Old Ford, where it has a small covered reservoir and two open reservoirs in " dan gerous proximity" to the Lea, at a point where that tidal river is full of foul sewage ; the deaths here were at a very different rate—namely, 63 in Beth nal-green, 65 in Mile-end Old-town, 93 in St. George's-in-tha-East, 85 in Poplar, 78 in White chapel, 111 in Stepney. There are two sub-districts on the east side of the Lea, also supplied by the East London Company, and the deaths were at the same rate as on the west side. In three dist r i c t s supp li e d part l y. b y th e New River, and partly by the East London Company, the deaths were in intermediate proportions — namely, 13 in Shoreditch, 12 in Hackney, 16 in East London districts, which is a part of the city of Lon don without the walls. * _ . The reasons for believing that the choleraic water was only distributed by the East London Company up to a certain date were stated at the time ; and probably that company will now be willing to relate all the circumstances of that deplorable and fatal accident. In Lewisham, including Plumstead atd Charlton, the deaths by cholera were 6 in 10,000 inhabitants, in in Greenwich, Dep tford, and Woolwich, 20 ; both these districts are supp lied b y the Kent Company in conjunction wit h the Lambeth and the South wark Companies, .• The annual rate of mortality last week was 27 per 1,000 in London, 29 in Edinburgh, and 29 in Dub lin; 26 in Bristol, 25 in Birmingham, 31 in Liver pool, 29 in Manchester, 27 in Salford, 29 in Shef field, 36 in Leeds, 30 inHull, 35in Newcastle-upon- Tyne, and 32 iu Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 27 per 1,000 during the week ending the 24th ult., when the temperature was 5.2 deg. Fahrenheit lower than in the same week in London, where the rate was 24 per 1,000. ILLUMINATED TEXTS, &C.—A series of splendidly illuminated texts, adapted from missals in the British Museum, and chrome-lithographed at the Royal Albert Press, has just been published by Messrs. Fuller and Co., which will be particularly acceptable for Christmas deco rations. Several beautifully-executed subjects of largo dimensions have also been issued, which for brilliancy of colour and richness of design have never been exceeded. The Royal Albert Press was established for the employ ment of women, and the production of such work as that submitted to our notice is a credit and au honour to the sex. tator. 0 the [cl ive f e el- I that 0 not Learlf men s the foral s criti - : 3dia."
