THE .StiN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 28, 1P66, POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. Extraordinary Charge of Elopement and Robbery. At the Greenwich police court yesterday Charles Lairsier Dubois, about 40 years of age, of 6, Somer set-place, Rotherhithe, was placed in the dock be fore Mr. Trail!, charged with stealing a quantity of articles of household furniture, value £25, the pro perty of Mr. J. W. S. Slocombe, druggist, of Scho field-place, Schofield-street, Birmingham. The case excited considerable interest, the wife of the prosecutor, who had eloped with the prisoner being present in court, with her three children. During the examination she appeared greatly in censed against her husband, and frequently smiled to the prisoner, for whom Mr. Cockle, solicitor, ap peared, a clerk from the office of Messrs. Morgan, Humphrey and Morgan attending for the pro secution. Mr. John William Sampson Slocombe said— In August of last year he was a passenger, with his wife and family, on board the City of London steamer, from New York. The prisoner was also a passenger on board the same steamer, and was re presented on the voyage to England as being a poli tical refugee from the Southern States of America, and in a very destitute condition. He (prosecutor) had married his wife in South America, and had left England for the purpose of bringing her and his family home. They had taken great interest in the prisoner, and after their arrival at Liverpool the prisoner had called upon them, by invitation, at their temporary lodging, 10, St. Paul's-square. The prisoner then ascertained that they were about going to Birmingham to live, and afterwards found them out at an hotel at which they were staying in that town, subsequently becoming an inmate of the house he took in Schofield-place, Schofield-street, Bir mingham. About a fortnight since he came to London to receive some money from his solicitors, which he gave to his wife, who arrived in London three days after him. He gave her the money (a cheque for £160) on her returning to Birmingham, she desiring him to remain in London and seek a business. Four days afterwards he returned to Birmingham, and was surprised to find his house closed, his .wife and children absent, and the furni ture removed. From inquiries he ascertained that the goods had been taken away in a railway van, his wife and the prisoner assisting in their removal. He had since seen a portion of the property (pro duced in court) taken from a house in Rotherhithe, where he found his wife and children. inspector Warren, B division, said from informa tion given by the prosecutor the prisoner was ap prehended on the Deptford-road, Rotherhithe, while out walking. Whilst the prisoner was being taken to the station witness went to the house, 6, Somer set-place, Rotherhithe. He there saw the prosecu tor's wife, and inquired of her whether Mrs. Parker repliedhe told her her name was " Yes," and asking if she e d w a t there e Mrs.? S P h a e rk l. Slocombe, that Mr. Parker (the name p r isoner went by) was in the custody of the p o li ce , and e that he had come after the proceeds of the cheque for £l6O which her husband had given her. The wife replied that the money was nearly all spent. Witness noticing a large trunk in the parlour went to it, and asked what it contained, when she re plied that the trunk belonged to some one in Ame rica. She afterwards took the keys of the trunk out of her pocket, opened it, and put her hand into a corner. He then took hold of her hand, and from it he took a purse containing a Bank England note for £lOO and four half-sovereigns, as also an agreement between the landlord of the house and Mr. Parker, and some pawnbrokers' duplicates. The prosecutor, in answer to the magistrate, said the trunk in question belonged to him, in which his wife kept her clothes. Mr. Frost, house agent, of Rotherhithe, deposed to the prisoner, in company of a female, whom he new recognised as the wife of the prosecutor, coming to him respecting renting a house, and he agreed to let him the house 6, Somerset-place, providing that the landlord signed an agreement. The prisoner inquired if the locality was healthy, saying he wanted the house for his wife and family. Some goods were afterwards brought to the house in one of Pickford's vans. It was here stated that this was all the evidence that could then be produced, but that at the next examination witnesses would be produced from Bir mingham who would prove the removal of the fur liiturebytitetopgriestohneerr., and that he and the wife and children left Mr. Traill having ordered the prisoner to be re manded, The Prosecutor inquired whether he could not claim the custody of the children, as he considered his wife a most improper person to have charge of them. Mr. Traill said there could be no doubt the pro secutor had a legal right to take charge of the chil dren. The prosecutor's wife here became so violent in her language, declaring that the children should not be taken from her, that by order of the magi strate she was removed from the court. Inspector Warren said the wife was a most vio lent woman, and had taken up a poker to attack him and her husband, but the poker was wrested from her. The prisoner was th en removed in custody. KEW GARDENS. —Of all the public pleasure grounds belonging to the capital towns of Europe we know not one which for beauty and variety comes up to our own at Kew. To those long pont in the most populous and murkiest of cities this delectable land offers the means of en joying within a small space country pleasures suited to all tastes. Those who prefer dressy gardens find here stately gravelled walks, ample smooth-shaven lawns, odoriferous beds of gorgeous flowers, orangeries, ferneries, and palm houses, giving a glimpse of the vegetation of the tropics. Others may saunter by the river under the shade of noble trees, and paths so secluded that the squirrel (last of the fern naturca left us in the metropoli tan regions) disports himself there in ease and safety. many who cannot spare the time or money to leave their business in London for any long period, but can command the few shillings necessary for the transit, show their appreciation of these delights by thronging the gardens with their families on Sunday afternoons, and im patiently awaiting the unclosing of the gates on every fine summer holiday. It is pleasant to see it thus enjoyed, and wore this the whole aim and object of the establishment of the Royal Botanic Garden one would admit it was fulfilled But is there nothing more to be done? Apart from its importance in a scientific p o i n t o f view we cannot but think that one reason for keep ing up this magnificent garden is, or ou g ht to be, to spread and encourage, and give facilities for the practice of horti culture in all classes. Is this done at K ew ? O n th e con trary, the greatest jealousyis evinced in guarding its treasures from all but the eyes of n eighbours and frequenters of the garden. Millions of cuttings, slips, and seeds are every them. Heaps of lovely with, rather than the blooms year public should wantonlyand fro n i ba d u s ar nn w yt h wo ic r a h ) n w ag de o et u l aa d ltv c ay heer many a sick room and humble home are recklessly consigned to the manure pit. It is obvious that rules must be made and rigidly en forced to prevent that which is the property of all becom ing a prey to the covetousness of a few; and every moans must be used to hinder the gardeners from trafficing either openly or surreptitiously in the pl an t s or fl owers thepublic to p ro fit a li ttle more than establishment for which they pay. under their charge.

The extra trouble and expense would surely be more than compensated by the payments of a flower loving community like our own, and the bad moral effect of such an example of churlish and wanton waste would be done away with. A nursery gardener whose object it is to keep up their price by renderin g hi s new p l an t s scarce may act thus, but it is unworthy of a great national establishment.—Pull-mall Gazette. PROHIBITION OF COURSING IN THE HOME -PARK, HAMPTON.—The Master of the Queen's Horse (the Duko of Beaufort•) has signified his intention to exclude coursing in Hampton Court-park during the next season, in conse quence of the scarcity of hares on this demesne. It must have been patent to all who have attended late meetings in this park that the hares were being used up, as there is no cover or refuge for "pussy" to escape from the grey hounds, and 15 out of 20 hares coursed are killed. The patrons of coursing, however, contemplate meeting the difficulty by an offer to turn down a large number of hares in the park. THE MEDICAL OFFICERS OF THE FOOT GUARDS. — The vexed question as to the promotion of medical officers of the Brigade of Guards has, it is understood, been deter mined on by the authorities and received her Majesty's approval. FATAL ACCIDENT ON MONT BLANC TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—l regret to inform you that a sag accident occurred yesterday, whereby another life has been sacrificed. Sir George Young, with two brothers and cousin, successfully reached the summit of Mont Blanc (without guides) yesterday at 10 a.m.,• and were descending to the grand plateau, when a mass of snow gave way, precipitating the younger brother down a frightful slope of snow. The brothers de scended to the Grand Mulets to despatch a mes senger to Chamonix for assistance, but the accident having been witnessed by a gentleman (Ur. Duf fourd) at Chamonix, who immediately informed the chef de guide, a party of 11 guides and the doctor immediately left for the Grand Mulets. A letter was sent down this morning by Sir George, informing us of the sad loss of his brother, and this morning at 10.30 the guides, with Sir George, reached the fatal spot. They will bring the body down, and are expected to arrive late this evening. —I am, sir, yours truly, EDWIN A. PETTITT. Hotel du Mont Blanc, Chamonix, Savoie, Aug. 24. The Inventor of the Needle Gun. A correspondent of the Temps gives the follow ing details concerning M. de Dreyse, the inventor of the needle gun :—" He is now 79 years of age, he is not a Prussian by origin, but has become one by right of conquest. At the period of his birth the small town of Scemmerda, his native place, be longed to the Prince-Bishop of Mayence. From 1806 to 1813 he was a subject of King Jerome, and consequently a Frenchman of the second class, during the seven years of his long existence. May this biographical detail aid in consoling those of my coun trymen who are in despair at not being able to trace to France the honour of having invented the needle gun ! Notwithstanding the de before his name, M. de Dreyse does not belong to a noble family. Far from that, he is a pure plebeian. His father was a locksmith by trade; he farmed a few acres of land, and sometimes brewed beer. It was quite a holiday in the village when the locksmith suspended over his door a goblet decorated with moss, which was a sign that a new brewing was on sale. The neighbours hastened with their jugs, and many a time has the future inventor of the needle-gun been seen serving his father's customers. From morning till night the young apprentice worked in the lock smith's shop singing his native ballads, to which he beat time with the blows of the hammer. About 1811 he started, knapsack on back, to make his tour of Germany. Teu years later De Dreyse was at the head of a small manufactory of arms at Scemmerda. The inhabitants had given M. de Dreyse the name of der Pariser (the Parisian). The most extraordinary things were related con cerning him. He was said to have brought back from his travels the model of a gun of an exceed ingly singular form which was discharged without the aid of a flint, and by means of a simple blow with a hammer. There was some truth in the village gossip, as M. de Dreyse had introdu3ed the inven tion of the piston as applied to firearms. With bor rowed capital he extended his manufactory under the name of Dreyse and Kollenbusch. His business prospered, and he was soon in easy circumstances, and subsequently became a wealthy man. While, however, occupied in building up his fortune, his mind was engaged with the idea of endowing his country with an exceptional firearm which would assure to the Prussians in that respect supre macy over .all other nations. After years of con stant experiment he invented the needle-gun, and then by a long persistency succeeded in getting it adopted by the committee of artillery. He was not, however, yet at the end of his troubles. On several occasions he had reason to fear that the Minister of War might abandon the use of his gun in consequence of the pretended defects which every one was endeavouring to discover in it. M. de Dreyse in the end surmounted all opposition, and remedied all the inconveniences pointed out. The needle-gun, as used in Bohemia, is the fruit of 25 years' experiments. The Prussian Governmeit afterwards founded a manufactory of firearms at Scemmerda, of which the direction was confided to the inventor of the needle-gun. M. de Dreyse still occupies that post, and is said to be now busied i❑ completing his work by the manufacture of a needle cannon. The life of M. de Dreyse has been long and laborious. It has been that of an honest work man who has attained fortune and honours by in dustry, order, and patriotism." MARKETS.—This Day. HAY.

MANSION-HOUSE. AN EXPERT TRIEF.—John Evans, who was remanded last week, having been charged with stealing a woman's cloak, under circumstances previously detailed, and which disclosed a thorough knowledge of his " art," on the part of the prisoner, was brought befora Sir R. Carden this morning. The depositions having been read over, _ _ Sir R. Carden said that he hoped every publicity . would be given to this case, as he was quite satisfied, from the dexterity displayed by the prisoner in the case of the pre sent-charge, that he was an experienced hand. He would sentence him to three mouths' imprisonment with hard labour. As the prisoner was leaving the dock, a gentleman en tered the court and said he had a charge to prefer against him. He had been staying with his wife and family at Lloyd's coffee-house, Cambridge Heath-road, Bethnal green, last Friday four weeks. Ho got up about 3 o'clock in the morning and laid his watch on the mantel-shelf in the bed-room while he went down stairs to have his break fast. The prisoner occupied a bed-room adjoining his, and while ho was at his breakfast on the day in question he saw him come down stairs in a " stealthy" manner. His suspicions were aroused and rushed up stairs, but found that his watch had disappeared. It was impossible that any person could have gone up stairs to the bed-room he had occupied, and where he left his wife and child without his seeing them, and although he bad never seen the pri soner before, he could swear to his identity as the party who occupied the room adjoining his. He had been offered £6 for the watch, but he estimated its value at £5. Sir R. Carden having referred to the unexpected illus tration which his observations had received by the present charge, said that in the interest of the public he would recall the sentefice ho had previously passed. The pri soner had evidently attained to a high proficiency in the line into which he had unfortunately directed his energies. Ho would remand him for a week, and he believed by that time that some further exploits of the prisoner would come to light. The prisoner was accordingly remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DARING ATTEMPTED ROBBERY IN THE POLICE COURT. —Yesterday a respectably-dressed man, said to be an en gineer, in the Strand, attended the court for the purpose of seeing that a person he had been bail for surrendered. While entering the court (there being great pressure at the time, in consequence of there being a large number of per sons from Seven Dials present, to learn the fate of some of their companions who were locked up), he felt a tug at his watch chain, and, putting down his hand, felt his watch, of the value of .£.lO, in the hands of a man, the watch chain having been broken. The person robbed at ouco seized his watch, and felt too delighted at recovering it to attempt to secure the thief, and he thus escaped. STREET ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE. Bartholomew Prendergrast, a young man, a well known thief, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being concerned with others in stealing a watch with violence from a young man named Charles Reich, buhl maker, Castle-street, Oxford-street. The prosecutor said that on the night of the 28th, while passing along Margaret-street, the prisoner and some others came up to him. They said something to him, and while the prisoner struck him and prevented him giving an alarm his companions stole his watch. The watch fell on the ground, and he tried to recover it, in the course of which ho was again struck, and the prisoner and the others made off. Last night he saw the prisoner at the station amongst several others and at once identified him. In answer to tho prisoner, the prosecutor said he was positive ho was one of the men. Sergeant Cole, C Division, said that on the night of the 28th he saw the prisoner and some others running down Berwick-street, Soho, and as ke knew them all, and be lieved something was wrong, he followed them, but could not overtake them. He had been looking out for the men ever since, and last evening saw the prisoner going into his mother's house in John-street, Golden-square, when he went up and took him into custody. The prisoner denied stealing the prosecutor's watch, but when taken to the station, placed amongst several others, and identified by the prosecutor, he made no an swer to the charge. Mr. Tyrrwitt remanded the prisoner. George Cole said he believed lie should connect the prisoner with, another robbery, two persons for which were then in custody and under remand. THAMES. FRIGHTFUL CASE OF CUTTING AND WOUNDING. — George Longley, an excavator and general labourer, about 40 years of age was brought before Mr. Partridge, on re mand, charged with cutting and wounding Thomas Not tingham, a carpenter, and Peter Looney, a labourer. Nottingham stated that ho was in the Duke of Welling ton publichouse, in Rosemary-lane, with a friend who quarrelled with the prisoner. They hit each other with their fists. They went outside the house into the street and fought, and both fell down. Whilst they wore down ho saw the prisoner stab his.' friend _four or five times with a knife on the leg. Ho went to the assistance of his friend and was abuu& to take him, away whoa p.isJner stabbed him on the breast. He fell and bled a good deal. in answer to questions by Mr. Partridge, the witness said the prisoner was sober. After ho stabbed me in the breast I struck him with my fist. Richard Ellis said—l saw a man who is here strike the prisoner on the face, and they fought. Both were down. A woman tried to get the prisoner away. The prisoner got up and stabbed the man he fought with four times in the leg, and he cried out, "I am ruined—l am stabbed!" The last witness then came up, and the prisoner stabbed him in the breast and on the side with a knife. Mr. Partridge—Two stabs !—Nottingham only spoke of one. Nottingham—No, your worship, I received two stabs. Peter Loonoy, who is very lame, went into a public house a few nights ago with a friend, and a row took place outsido with the prisoner. I followed, and we had a fight. We both went down, and he took his knife out and cut me about the leg. He stabbed me on the log five times. Mr. Joseph Loane, surgeon and apothecary, of No. 1, Dock-street, said he attended the man Looney directly after he was wounded, and found three wounds on his leg. They were incised wounds, and produced by a sharp in strume at. Mr. G. B. Phillips, surgeon, of No. 2, Spital-square, had attended Nottingham. There was a punctured wound below the left nipple of the patient three-quarters of an inch long, and penetrating the chest. The patient had bled considerably, and it must have been produced by a knife or other sharp instrument. Three or four days after wards he discovered a punctured wound in the pereneum, and a considerably-qffasion of blood at the under aspect of the scroto. This was a. dangerous wound. The prisoner was calle4 upon for a defence to each charge, and he said what alnounted in effect that he did stab both men, and did it is self-defence. He also said both Nottingham and Looney threatened to kill him, and were both upon him at once. Mr. Partridge committed the prisoner for trial at the Central Criminal Court on both charges. THE BRIGADE OF FOOT GUARDS.—The 3d Bat talion of the Grenadier Guards, under the com mand of Colonel Randolph, removed from Windsor this morning to the Tower of London, and in consequence of the prevalence of cholera at the east end of London the married soldiers of the battalion and their families are to be provided with quarters in the St. John's-wood barracks. The 2d battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards also moved this morning, under the command of Colonel Aitchison, to Windsor. The remainder of the autumn changes of quar ters of the brigade are to take place on Friday, the 31st inst., viz. : —The Ist battalion of Grenadier Guards from St. George's barracks to Chelsea barracks, where some companies of the battalion have been stationed during the summer: these companies are to remain at Chelsea. The 2d battalion of Grenadier Guards, from the old wing of the Wellington barracks, the Magazine, Kensington, and Buck ingham Palace barracks, to the new wing of the Wel lington barracks. The Ist battalion of the Coldstream Guards remain at Dublin, their present station.

Formerly, large quantities of rules were exported to the United States of America ; but, during the past thirty years, they have been manufactured in the States, a pro ) hibitive tariff having prevented the introduction of English made goods. The way in which some nations—or rather some Governments—regard the importation of rules into their territories is rather strange. Some allow, at fair and equitable rates of duty, the importation of English made rules, the measures being suitable to the use of their re spective countries. But while one country will not admit them at all, unless the measure of the country is surrounded by other measures, so as to make the rule a scale of varied measure; instead of being only the legal standard of the country, another government looks upon all rules coming to its ports as illegal measures, not having the government stamp upon them, and all so found are seized. The makers do not put a resemblance of the official stamp upon them ; and, as there are no native rule makers, and all the rules are imported, measures a little different from the legal standard are made, and being marked with the name of another country than that for which their use is in tended, aro allowed to bo admitted ; thus the greater part of the people aro necessarily using an incorrect measure, at the same time that the true standard might be supplied to them as cheaply and more readily. The various coun tries and states of the world have, at the present time, about 150 different measures; many small places, each containing only a few thousand inhabitants, have their own peculiar measures. At various times many of these measures have been changed from the duodecimal to the decimal division, still retaining the original standard of length ; but within the past few years the use of the French metrical measure has become much more common in all parte of the world. Many nations now have a large proportion of their rules marked with the French metre in addition to their own standard, and are thus, doubtless, gradually tending to the general adoption of so convenient and pcxfect a measure of length as- the French metre is admitted to be.—Birmiughani and the Midland Hardware District.—Published by Robert Hardwicke, 192, Picca dilly.

Pasteur made some remarks on a paper sent in by M. Bechamp concerning the disease of the silk-worm and in which, amongst other things, it was stated that the corpuscles observed in the seed were exterior, and no contained in the substance, so that, if th seed were care- fully washed, all the corpuscles would sappear. This, M. Pasteur said, was a dangerous error, because it would tend to cause a most useful practice to be discontinued, viz., that of examining the seed wth a microscope, while, on the other hand, M. Pasteur could not imagine how such a mistake could have been committed, since no washing by any liquid whatever could rid the seed of its corpuscles. A paper was received from M. Rico Sinohas, on the fourth volume published by him, of the works of Alphonse X-, of Castillo. This volume contains five books on ancient dials and clocks. Two of these exclusively refer to dialing : the first treats of the common sundial, provided with a gnomon, tho second of another kind, requiring the construction of a tower with very narrow windows, through which the rays of the sun penetrated and marked the hours. Another book treats of the Alphonsine clepsydra, consisting of a syphon similar to tho well-known one of Mariotto, and into which the water dropped from a filter, while at the other end there was a float bearing a metal plate on which the zodiac s and the principal stars were marked. The two last boo ks for ook treat of clocks provided with weights and chim es striking the hour.—M. Laussedat sent in an observation of the occultation of Saturn by the 7soonold at that instant.

CRYSTAL PALACE.—It had been intended that the ballad concert yesterday should be the last this season, but it having been attended by upwards of 17,000 persons, one more will be given in the week following the Worcester Festival, about the 20th September. Upwards of 120,000 visitors have attended the series given this autumn at the Crystal Palace. THE FIRE IN BLOOMSBURY.--This fire has been attended with a far greater loss of property than was yesterday anticipated. Owing to the flames raging amongst the timber that had fallen from the different floors, a further serious loss of property was sustained ; but, what is still worse, many of the workmen have lost the whole of their tools, and are consequently thrown out of employment for some time to come. Tho inhabitants are about to raise a subscription in order to enable the men to resume work. FOURTH EDITION. SUN OFFICE, QUARTER TO 8 O'CLOCK. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.
