Tle ug for their read ers t h e latest intelligence,suus i must be enormous. Indeed no expense seems to daunt them, and their organisation to procure the information • and divide the cost is more perfect than with the London press. The power of the press in. Ac erica is undoubtedly greater than the power of the press in England. The social position of editors is better recognised and higher.. A few weeks ago we noticed an article in the N ew 1'611 ; Daily Tribune, warning people against impostors, who foisted themselves on the public, on the pl ea of Ung connected with that journal. Judgin g from what it said, it would appear that the swindler s 'ised its name as a passport, spent their time pleasantly at hotels, ordered everything, abused everything, and paid nothing, on the strength of bei g supposed to be connected with this great American newspaper. lf the people did not be lieve in their newspapers they would not repire a warning to guard themselves against such impos ture.

The prisoner said, " I did uncover it, and I looked at the statue, but I know nothing about the pencil marks." Walsh then said, "I saw you tap with a knife the picture with the clown in it—that was very careless." The prisoner said, " I don't thick I did it, but if you say so per haps I did." A man named Goldsworthy then said that the prisoner had told him that while at work at Manchester with other men on the roof of a railway station they used to drop large squares of glass from the roof on to the railway carriages, and that com plaints of the practice were made, but they were never found out. I asked the prisoner why he did such a thing, and the prisoner replied, " Bcause the glass was cut too small, and it was cold weather." Some of the glass, the prisoner said, was dropped by ilplates on purpos e . A workman, nacacmeeilt' but Webb,d o t t h h e e n r said, " As soon as he came to work at Miss Coutts's the prisoner volunteered to show him over the house, and that while doing so the prisoner put down a picture carelessly." Webb also added that " the prisonor wheeledlhnself about the house on a chair. The prisoner also unco vered a group and a chair." asked the prisoner if he ever had fits before, and he said he had not. Rough notes of what occurred at this interview were made. I asked the prisoner if he was on good terms with the other men, and he said he was. I asked him if he knew whether any of the men had an objection to him being put on a London job, he coming from the country ; or whether the other workmen had any towards him because he was a teetotaller, or from anyother use. The pri soner said he knew of no cause ; hisfellow-workmen had always behaved well to him. I asked him how he carried the steps into the room. The prisoner ca t toshowedthe pictures . me that the I sibility of the damage having occurred through acci dent. she prisoner replied, " No, I never touched asked teps him we r if there o n his , shoulders ,asa n y pos sibility x n the picture; that I am perfectly satisfied of." I examined the cuts on the picture and the knife, and found they corresponded. There was a puncture of the canvas behind the picture, such as would be made by the point of the knife produced. The London workmen tell-me they do not use such knives as the one belonging to the prisoner. I told the prisoner the charge as soon as I took him into custody on a war rant, and the prisoner said he never cut the picture. COMPLETION OF THE LIFE OF WEDGWOOD.

Said by all Grocers, Chandlers, &C. QUEENSTOWN, Saturday. We had two very interesting arrivals this !nom ing--her Majesty's corvette Racoon, Cnptain Ar inytage, and the steamship Medway, Captain l). Harris. The former is from Valentia, and the lat ter from Heart's Content, the termini of the At lantic Cable. The Racoon was at Valentia assist ing in laying the shore end, and since that has been stationed there. The Medway, our readers will re member, is one of the grappling ships, and after laying the shore end of the second cable in Heart's Content she was sent with her Majesty's ship Ter rible, Captain Commerill, V.C., to lay a second cable across the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the orthumberland Straits, so as to 'duplicate the whole of the submarine telegraph route to New York, and as all that pertains to this great enter, prise is very interesting we have gathered the fol lowing short log of their proceedings. On Monday, the 10th of September, the day after the Great Eastern left for England, the Terrible 'and Medway steamed out of Heart's Content, the latter laying, as she went' out, the earth cable, similar to the one laid last year at Valentia. On Tuesday they called at St. John's for some extra coal, and were invited to a dinner by the hospitable Governor, the Hon. Mr. Musgrave, and afterwards to a very elegant ball given by the inhabitants of St. John's in honour of the completion of the great work. CONTRACT FOR COALS FOR HONG KONG.

The Danish frigate Jylland, 44, Capt. Pederson [eft Plymouth Sound on Friday for Copenhagen. The Russian frigate Swetana, Capt. Drescher, left Plymouth Sound on Saturday for the Brazils. On departure she fired a Royal salute of 21 guns, which was duly acknowledged by the citadel. The paddlewheel steam frigate Gladiator, 6, Capt. Aplin, left Plymouth Sound on Saturday, with Staff Commander Spain and a navigating 'Arty, who will bring the screw steam slocv Daphne, 4, from Pem broke to Devonport. Her burden is 1,081 tons, and she will have engines of 300 horse power. The paddlewheel steam sloop Dee, Master Com mander G. P.

The trial was pronounced satisfactory by the officials connected with the Steam Reserve on board, under whose superintendence it was conducted, and the Endymion afterwards anchored at the Little Nore. A telegram was received at Chatham yesterday announcing that she would proceed to sea either last await final 'instructions from the A dmiralt y . She night or this morning, c a lling in at Spithead t o proceeds, it is understood, to the Mediterranean, to join the squadron under the command of Vice- Admiral Lord Clarence Paget, C.P.

Herbert, C. 8., on his retirement from the regiment, with a handsome silver centrepiece. One shield on the base bears the fol lowing inscription :—" Presented by his brother officer; as a mark of their affection and esteem, to Col. Charles •fferbert, C. 8., on his retirement from the 54th Regiment, which he commanded for seven years ;" and on the other shield is the crest of Col. Herbert. The following appointments were made on Satar __ On Friday the island of St. Pierre was sighted, and, as the French have always been anxious to have it placed in telegraphic communication with the rest of the world, Mr. Cyrus Field, Capt. Com mail!, and Mr. Temple, engineer to the Telegraph Construction Company, landed, and after an inter view with the Governor-Colonel Creu were accom panied by him, and found a suitable place for land ing a cable. On Saturday the ships were off Port au Basque, on the S.W. extreme of Newfoundland, and the following day the end of the cable was landed, and the paying-out commenced towards Cape Breton Island across the Gulf of St. Lawrence, but Mon day morning brought such a heavy gale from the S.W. that the ship in pitching broke the cable in 250 fathoms' depth of water, about ten miles from the island of St. Paul, and thus the Medway had once again to put her grappling powers to the test, and was successful on Wednesday, the cable being found all right to Newfoundland ; but owing to some derangement of the machinery it broke again, and it was not until Thursday that the lost end of the cable was finally spliced to that on board the Medway, carried into the picturesque bay of Aspee, and the line -completed, 86 miles of cable having been paid out. The Terrible and Medway being nearly out of fuel proceeded to Pictou, Nova Scotia. They were most hospitably received and entertained by the in habitants of this, one of the most loyal of our colonies, and one very agreeable day was passed in a visit to the mines of the Albion and of the Acadia Coal Companies. Novia Scotia is wonderfully rich in minerals of all descriptions, the coal seam here being 30 feet thick. At the mines of the former company they have a section or column of pure coal showing this —32 feet in length by 3 feet thickness, intended for the forthcoming Paris Exhibition. On Thursday, the 27th of September, the ships left for Northumberland Straits to replace the cable to Prince Edward's Island, and were visited by the Governor of that colony, Mr. Dundas. Mr. Cyrus Field, who had been with the Atlantic and this ex pedition since leaving the Thames in June last, left h&c for New York, carrying with him the good wishes of every one orl board. On the 2d of Oc tober, the cable having been replaced, the Terrible left for Charlottetown to fill up with coal en route for England, amid the heartiest cheering which has ever been heard in these strange parts, for her cap tain, officers, and crew have gone so heartily and zealously into all the telegraph work that to the Medway it seemed like parting with a very old friend. We were very much struck by the warm way in which those connected with the real work of telegraph cables always speak of the assistance rendered them at all times by the navy; the return of the Terrible to England would present an excel lent opportunity of gracefully acknowledging their services. The Medway steamed away on Tuesday for Eng land, passing through the Gut of Canso, and on Sunday, the 14th, reached lat. 49 9 N., long. 14 27 W., where she unfortunately broke her shaft, and lost her fan, and as this is 300 miles from Cork and 400 miles from the Liszard, with an easterly wind, it was a most serious disaster, as the rig of the ship is not at all adapted for sailing, but the captain jury-rigged her in such a way that, although during the last week there has been very heavy easterly , gales, he sailed the ship into our harbour this morn ing, and is waiting for a tug to take her on to the Thames, Mr. Temple, with some of his staff, leaving for London by the night mail. The weather is very unsettled at present, but should it clear away the Medway will be crowded with visitors, anxious to look at the machinery, &c., of a ship which has had so much to do with the Atlantic cable. The Wilful Damage at Miss Burdett Coutts's Residence. On Saturday, at the Marlborough-street Police court, James Wardell, painter, in the employ of Messrs. Banting, upholsterers and decorators, St. James's-street, was brought before Mr. Knox for further examination, charged with wilfully damag ing pictures belonging to Miss Burdett Coutts, of Stratton -street. Mr. Wontner, jun., appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. E. D. Lewis for the prisoner. _ _ Mr. Wontner, jun., said that as soon as the da mage to the pictures was discovered, Mr. Banting had an interview with Sir Richard Mayne, and on stating the particulars, Inspector Tanner, of the detective force, was sent to Stratton-street, who called all the workmen into the room, and ques tioned them. The result of this interview would be told by the inspector himself. Inspector Tanner, of the detective force, Scot land-yard, said—l received instructions from Sir Richard Mayne to proceed to Miss Burdett Coutts's residence in Stratton-street, and I went there. I examined the damaged pictures. One of them hung near the ball-room, which is lighted by three win dows at the extreme end of the room, and the pic ture is about 29 feet off, and the windows covered with holland, and in the centre of the room the fur niture was piled. I could not see the cuts on the picture until I went close up to it. I afterwards made inquiries among the men employed in the house, and at the request of Mr. Banting I called all of them into one room, the prisoner being amongst them. I told them that a wilful and mali cious act had been committed, and that it behoved them all as honest men to tell all they knew, so that the perpetrator of the da:nage might be discovered. I then turned to the prisoner and slid " I am bound to tell you that I am InspectOr Tasntanteer of the detectives, and that as several ments have been made by some of the workmen, I . th e m in your pre am going to ask t hem to repeat, sence. There is a sus p icion restang. u pon you, and I wish you clearly to understand that. you „ need The pnort, un l e ss you choose , answer any questions. i soner replied, "I a m desirous of giving every infor mation, the same as an y of the other men. I will answer any questions that you put to me. I am anxi ous to be examined, and I will go anywhere you please." Walsh then repeated the §tatement he Mr. Wm. Banting, of the firm of Messrs. Thomas and William Banting, upholsterers and decorators, No. 26 and 27, St. James's-street, said—About seven weeks ago I was engaged to paint Miss Burdett Contts' house, principally the outside. Dimmock, the fore man, and a man named Taylor superintended the job. I heard of the picture being cut, and examined. I found the cuts as described. I applied to Sir Richard Mayne, and Inspector 'fanner was desired to make an investigation. I made rough notes of the con versation with Inspector Tanner. I afterwards saw the prisoner show the inspector how he carried the steps, and I noticed that when the windows were covered with holland the cuts were not visible. I asked the prisoner if he had done the mischief, and he denied it. I said I would give a reward to any man who would tell who had done the malicious act, but I said nothing about a pardon. Mr. E. D. Lewis said he had just been informed there were witnesses whose evide,.....e 4 wits material to the prisoner, and as he should wish to have them heard he would ask for a remand. Mr. Knox said he would charge the prisoner for mally, b'it would remand him in order to give an opportunity for hearing his witnesses. The Newspaper Press of America. The Spectator applies the word " snippety" to the comments of the American newspaper press On events passing under review. It adds that no people believe less in what their newspapers tell them than the Americans—not even the Italians, who always imagine that the statements made are intended to conceal, not to explain, the truth. The comments of the Spectator on America are generally conceived in such a broad and fair spirit, and conveyed in a style so terse and vigorous, that we would be slow to take exception to what our contemporary said, but we think that in this instance the Spectator is scarcely fair. " Snippety," by which we presume is meant short and superficial editorial notices, is perhaps a true and pert word to convey the writer's meaning. The leaders in general are " snibbity" though the exceptions are very nume rous. We have transferred to our columns an article from the Round 7'able, in which that journal replies to an allegation of the New York Evening Post, accusing it of not being up to the mark of the leading London weeklies, falling indeed consider ably behind the standard of such a journal as the Spectator. The Round Table, with the good sense that characterises it, meets the charge by a simple admission of its truth, and retorts by saying what is true in a still greater degree, that it comes nearer to the standard of excellence attained by the chief London weeklies than the New York daily press does to that of the leading London dailies. The Round Table may instance its own successful establishment as a proof oi the rapid advance of journalism in the United States. It is characterised by the strongest and freest expres sion of truth ; commenting without fear on social, political, and moral delinquencies. Its articles are the reverse of " snippety," and its opinions are ex pressed without any regard to the public feeling of the moment. The consequence is, that this journal steadily gains in reputation and power ; and as its circulation increases, the ability of its proprietors will increase to attain their avowed aim to bring their organ up to the standard they have in view. A few years ago such a journal could not have main tained its ground in the United States. 'Then the newspaper press of America was filled with sensa tionalt stories of a style which did not reflect . credit either on themselves or their reader s. Enthusiastic hi g" sentiments young ladies poured out their 44 gIIS-- 1.1-- . 11 , t o the without regard to nature, at n es ot t wildest imagination, and rubbish which they styled tales. producing giving:l thheosuggriel wholly, this sort of thing is almost_ill There, in for example the Philadelphator;l the smallest sheets the smallest possible type,. the news of the exploded. Take is ertun t i ned t of paper, parts of all countr)ileisdesi d C e n o s ': e t s i p l e o i n r d n e n e w t s s froma i ll Union and of the world . i the States up to the hour of going t'atches bring the events oc joucurring throughout rnal. to press, and though to the eye of those accustomed to L yetnodn icee wspaper the appearance is unfavour able, consider it to be impossible to condense mo re importa n t matter into a smaller space. If th e o o f a newspaper be to give news, the Inquirer ahcert a i n ly g fulfils its mission. Though its editorials are short, they are always pithy and to the point, and in keeping with the characteristics of the news paper. The broad sheets of the leading dailies of New York are filled with the fullest information on every subject from all parts. As these journals aim at the dissemination of news, we cannot under stand how there can be any force in the statements of the Spectator that the people put no faith in them. This might be said of a weekly review devoted to articles commenting on the news already given by the daily journals, but cannot fairly be applied to the daily journal, which contains little more than a bare record of events. It is true that news may be so conveyed as in a measure to disguiie its real significance, but we think that the American papers are as little opeu to such a charge as those . - • uar,..420‘. • --- The production for the first time of the new bur lesque entitled " Der Freischutz," on Saturday even ing, has been followed by a ca a la yt m htee it r y omu r itn e b s u u rse l ,a t s i i T arv i ea t; the total destruction by fire of the Standard Theatre, d o i p t po ch s . ite T tl h le e G fi r r e s a t t E in a t s im te a rn tio ß n ail o m; made by a police constable, who had just comruenced day duty, about half-past 6 yesterday morning. At that time large volumes of smoke and flames pre sented themselves in that part of the theatr:., ex tending to George-street, in a southerly direction. When it was ascertained that in the portion of the building named resided Mr. Thomas Douglass, brother of the proprietor, with his family, prompt measures were taken to rescue them. On the arrival of the land steam engine from Bishops.. gate-street the flames had attacked the stage, the proscenium and " flies" being then in a general blaze; and the fire was travelling with alarming rapidity towards the audience portion of the theatre. In en deavouring to effect an entrance in front of the house the firemen were completely driven back by the heat and smoke. Captain Shaw accompanied the second engine from Watling-street, and under his direction the members of the brigade were imme diately set to:work. The fire hadpenetrated the roof of the building, and the flames were raging above with great fury. Before 8 o'clock the roof fell in with a loud crash, and all hopes of saving any por- tion of the theatre were at an end. In the mean time a message was despatched to Mr. John Douglass, the proprietor, who resides at Dalston, who soon ar rived on the spot. During the progress of the fire a number of poor families resident in Fort's-buildings, at the side of the theatre, were driven from their homes, and had to hastily remove their furniture. The properties, wardrobes, and dressing-rooms of the theatre, were contained in six houses in George street, the whole of which have been destroyed ; and in addition to the total wreck of the large theatre, an outer building, used for depositing the "flaps," or scenery, has fallen a prey to the fire. The firemen ceased their labours about half past ten, but a hose was in constant requisition throughout the whole of yesterday. We understand that the building is fully insured . Mr. - Brittain Wright, the acting manager, will, however, be a great sufferer by the calamity, he having had the whole of his dresses and properties destroyed, and other members of the company .will also be severe losers. How the fire orignated could not be learnt ; but the manager informed the reporter that he was on the stage at 2 o'clock on Sunday morning, when all appeared safe, and the fireman engaged at the theatre made the usual inspection at the close of the performances, and pronounced all to be right. The theatre has been in the occupancy of Mr. Douglass for some years, and was built by him in the place of the old Standard Theatre, which he opened in 1848. AMERICAN THEATRICAL AFFAIRS.

You may generally know a poacher's dog when you see him. Ito looks very sleepy in the daytime, and seems stupid for want of a good night's rest. Moreover, he seems slyer and subtler than other dogs. There is too much of the Jesuit about him to enable him to pass for an honest dog, and ho sulkily does the bidding of his master with the air of ono who must either do it or die. He is soldorn in goodspirits, and when on some rare occasion he wags his tail, he does it as if he Were ashamed of himself. Poachers' dogs are employed, not for catching game, but for running it into the nets. They are taught to scour a field in the darkest h nights, and woik all the hares and rabbits towards the nets in the gateway, or on the cover sides. nd fly, at they are put to watch-their master's net ; _ t. awill a g u iv y e o n n lo e u w th ho un a d tte ei m .a p o t y s o t i o ron in n t t e s r t e a f o e ne re s, wit . h . to fall into that error.
