THE ROYAL INSURANCE CO MPANY begs to announce its REM OVAL to its New Premises, known as ROYAL INSURANC E BUILDINGS, Lombard street. In making this announcement, the Directors venture to anticipate they shall experience in theirnew offices, even in an increased degree , tha t •he art y support the mercantile community, and the public generally, which has long since placed them in the first rank of insurance c ompanies. They believe that the main cause of the populatity thus attaching to the ROYAL has been the confidence of the communit ro y that the Company has ever met, with li b era lity and pmptitude, all just o.aims.

Lord RAVENSWORTH last night asked an explana of Lord DERBY concerning the construction put on some expressions which the noble lord used on the occasion of the address to her MAJESTY, relative to the assassination of President LINCOLN. It was as well that he should have done so, because there are some people who are so prejudiced that they try to pervert everything to their own purposes, and make out a great deal from very little. Thus, as Lord RAVENSWORTH explained, when Lord DERBY, the other night remarked, that if the Confederates had been connected, directly or indirectly, with the crime, that they would have committed that which was more than a crime—a blunder. Lord RAVENS - WORTH gave his own interpretation of the matter, which was a correct one. The true meaning of M. TALLEYRAND'S expression, he took it to be was, " not that a blunder was worse than a crime, morally speaking, but that a person occupying the position of the First Consul, if he committed a grave political blunder, might do that which was fraught with more serious consequences than a crime." Now any one at all conversant with public matters must naturally have put the same construction upon the sentence we would supptse, but it has been seen that the contrary was the fact in some quarters. Lord RAVENS WORTH said that he considered Lord DERBY intendecrto convey the same meaning as did TALLEYRAND when he applied the phrase to the case of the Confederates. lie therefore asked the noble earl to state whether he had not given the true version of the affair. The noble lord very truly observed that it was of great importance that " any misinterpretation of an expression should be confuted without delay," because it often happened that phrases were attributed to persons in a very Contrary sense to that which they had originally intended. Thus it was said the Duke of WELLING TON had declared county meetings to be a " farce," whereas he had not done so ; and Lord LYNDHURST had been taxed with calling the people of Ireland aliens in blood,religien, and race; but this was also an error, became the hon. and learned lord had not employed the words in the sense which had been imputed to him. Lord DERBY'S few remarks were to the point ; he said he did not think that any member of that house could entertain a doubt as to the meaning of the words alluded to. What he had said was, that if the Confederate authorities had given, which from th e i r f ormer character and conduct he did not thi n k they had, any countenance to the assassination, they would have been " guilty, not only o f a crime, " b u t using the words of 'IALLEYRAND'S political aphorism, they would have committed worse than a crime—a blunder, because they would have been not only sanctioning that which was immoral in itself, but also that which could do nothing but serious injury to their cause." Now that the noble earl has plainly stated the meaning of his words, not but what they were clear and plain enough before to all who did not wilfully misinterpret them, it may fairly be asked what is the reason of the nuanterpretation. which Jim been put upon the m ? The only reason is, that it is the object of many to damage the Conservative cause by every means in their power, and though, in some respects, it may be considered, and in many quarters it is declared, to be a fallen one, still their animosity and vindictiveness know no bounds, and will not be modified or abated. The attempt to implicate honourable men in the basest of crimes, and to throw the greatest reproach upon a brave and generous people, was a dastardly device, and recoils upon those who did it under covert disguises and with specious pretences. To take advantage of the occasion, while it was impos sible for those concerned to deny or repudiate the charge, was the only thing wanting to render the attack more despicable, and yet we have seen political cunning and party stratagem descend to such depths and adopt such unworthy stratagems. Lord DERBY'S remarks made a very convenient locus standi for the attack. It may be very well for inexperienced persons to say that it does not matter because time will show the contrary, but such is not an answer, for it is ceriain that it is almost impos sible entirely to eradicate an evil impression if it once take root. From the accounts that have reached us lately, it would appear that there is no reason to doubt that the South will repudiate the crime with as much indignation as the North have done. The people of Richmond were greatly shocked at the intelligence, and General LEE was " painfully affected," when he heard of the fearful crime that had been committed. There might have been some excuse in the United States in the first excitement of the moment for the adoption of extravagant notions and for - wild accusations being given, but even there by this time such extreme notions are dying out, and ideas more in unison with right and reason are taking their place. In England there can be no allowance made for any such absurd rumours obtaining circulation ; and it certainly was a course of proceeding wholly and entirely adverse to the character and spirit of tee community to cast aspersions upon those at a distance, without proof or foundation to warrant the extreme step taken. It is strange to notice to what lengths people go in support of extreme opinions without much regard to detail and minute ness of particulars. Thus " Historicus" remarked the other day that he believed the friends of the Southern cause had never ventured to call an open meeting in this country. The mistake here made is shown in a letter to the Standard of to-day, in which the writer declares that " there is scarcely a town of any consequence in Lancashire in which large and enthusiastic public meetings in favour of the South have not been held." The Confederates have had much to endure and to encounter in their unequal struggle, but let it not be said that their historian will have to put calumny to the long list of their difficulties, and least of all that it emanated from this country. The Calcutta mails bring little intelligence of a marked or striking character, but that fact may be accepted as an augury of the peace and prosperity of our Indian dominions. The principal feature of interest is the departure of Sir HUGH ROSE, who has addressed a general order to his troops, express ing his satisfaction at their discipline and efficiency, and in which he especially dwells upon the good results which have followed the bestowal of patron age on merit, and not on interest. He expresses his obligations to the Government for having allowed him this latitude, and in consequence of which those officers who had given practical evidence of their military qualifications had been placed at the head of the re-organisation of the army, and speaks in high terms of the manner in which the officers of his army have justified his confidence in them. He considers that the army is ow in a high state of efficiency, which, he trusts, will be maintained unbroken, but is, of course, silent in reference to the difficulties which have attended the amalgamation of the armies. We may hope, however, as the matter has been so strongly impressed upon the Government that the grievances complained of will be mitigated, if not altogether removed. The better sanitary arrangements of the last few years have wonderfully diminished the cost of main taining an Indian army, and we may hope, as the new system is more fully developed, to see the rate of sickness and mortality still further lessened. Altogether the aspect of Indian affairs is satisfac tory, and the financial statement of Sir CHARLES TREVELYAN takes note of great and favourable changes. The brief discussion upon the details of the Budget was not likely to excite much attention. It is perhaps the best compliment that can be paid to a Budget that it should be suffered to become law without calling forth any active opposition, and, notwithstanding the postponement of the reduction of the malt tax, the general scope and tenour of the financial statement has given great satisfaction. The tea duties press so hardly upon the industrial classes that their reduction, even though part of the profit is absorbed by the tradesman, will be a great boon. The fire insurance duty, truly !Stigmatised by Mr. SIIERIDAN as a tax upon prudence, has been unmistakeably censured by the House of Commons itself, while the income tax, though no longer at the exacting rate at which it stood for some years, is still heavy enough to be one of the most unpopular of taxes. We wish that Mr. GLADSTONE had gone a little further in his dealings with the Income-tax, and had taken a hint from Mr. DISRAELI in at least one important particular—the recognition of the differ ence between fixed and precarious incomes. But the ever-extending class that ranks itself under Schedule D forms so large and important a portion of the tax-payers that there is little chance we fear of their claims being recognised at the Exchequer. The objections which Mr. AYRTON took to the Budget were, however, not correct. He asserted that more regard had been had to the interests of property than of industry in the reductions, for that even the Insurance Duty was a tax on property. The hon. gentleman apparently forgot that the reduction in the high price of tea is cer tainly a boon to the industrial classes, that the re duction of the Income-tax will relieve thousands who labour for their living, and that the Fire In surance Duty, of which he thinks so little, presses hardly on the commercial interests of the country, and all that immense stock of mercantile wares, which, however valuable as property, have been accumulated by industry and application. The principal subject of discussion last night was the time at which the various reductions should take effect, and the matter was finally settled in accordance with the general wish and feeling of the house, Mr. GLADSTONE, for a wonder, giving up his point with a tolerably good grace. Mr. MOFFATT moved that the reduction of the Tea Duty should take effect from the Ist of June, instead of from the 6th of May, as proposed. It was urged in support of the amendment that the tea dealers had been led to suppose that no further remission would be at present made in the duties, and that consequently a large number of dealers held stocks of tea on which they had paid the higher duty. Mr. GLADSTONE, whose natural instinct is to resent any interference With his financial measures, was, of cOUPie i up il4 arms, and declared that the delay would be in every way mischievous, and that it would be a dangerous precedent. He admitted, however, that it was possible that the dealers might have been misled by some expressions of his in a former Budget, and he there fore proposed that all dates should be struck out, and that the reduction should be made to take effect from the Ist of June. This distinction without a difference was agreed to, and there is no reason to complain of it. Why there should be an uncertain delay in the introduction of the bill for enabling maltsters to pay by measure instead of by weight is not very apparent, and as the Chancellor of the Exchequer has not been able to grant them the remission for which they have been agitating, it is a pity that he cannot give his boon a little more promptly. With the reduction of the Income Tax no one could findfault, though Mr. HUBBARD found occasion to censure the manner of its assessment. It is to be hoped that Mr. GLADSTONE will take his suggestion, and apply his vigorous powers to a more equitable adjustment of the tax. He has proclaimed its reconstruction to be a task beyond the capacities of any Government, but there is an old adage of a will and a way. If Mr. GLADSTONE would address himself to the matter, and could succeed in putting this important tax on a fair and proper footing, he would confer a great and lasting benefit on the tax-payers of this country. The Income Tax is so sure and easy a method of raising the revenue that there is little chance that any Minister will allow it to remain long in reserve, so that it is a matter of importance to us all that it should be assessed with equity and discrimination.

There were also present Thomas Chap man, Esq., F.R.S., Captain Sir E. Perrott, Bart, G. Lyall, Esq., M.P., Admiral W. H. Hall, C. 8., F.R.S., W. H. Harton, Esq., Admiral McHardy, and Richard Lewis, the secretary. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read, a reward of £l3 was voted to the crew of the Whitby lifeboat of the institution, for putting off through a very heavy sea and saving 15 persons, including the captain's wife and a lad, 12 years of age, from the screw steamer Ocean Queen, of New castle, which was wrecked on the rocks off Whitby, on the 19th ult. A reward of £5 was also voted to the crew of the lifeboat of the institution stationed at Rosslare, County Wexford, for going off and rescuing the crew of six men from the lugger Peep o' Day, of Wexford, which was totally wrecked during a strong wind from the E.N.E., on the Dog ger Bank off that place on the 21st ult. A reward of £4 10s. was likewise granted to the crew of the institution's lifeboat of Fowey,Cornwall, for putting off and remaining alongside the Hanoverian galliot Eintracht, which was in distress on a lee shore in St. Austell B ay, during a verystrong wind fromS. E. on the 30th ult. Rewards amounting to £22 17s. were also granted to the crews of the lifeboats of the institution at Pembrey (Llanelly), Cemlyn, Port rush, and Cahore for different services during the past month. Various other rewards were also granted to the crews of shore boats and others for saving life from shipwreck on the cast of the United Kingdom. Payments amounting to £BOO were ordered to be made on various lifeboat esta blishments. The meeting expressed the deepest regret to learn of the death of Admiral R. Fitzroy, F.R.S., and their sincere sympathy for his widow and children. The gallant admiral had been a member of the committee of management of the institution for many years past, and was in every way a valuable coadjutor in its humane work. Lady Martin had forwarded to the institution a contribution in memory of her brother the late Admiral Sir Byam Martin, K.C.B. The Duke of Leeds had also sent the institution a liberal annual subscription of £lO, and £7 Is. 3d. had likewise been received from the Rev. W. Ll. Benyon, M.A., after sermons preached by him in Seale Church, Surrey. During the past month the institution had sent new lifeboats to Sunderland and Dunbar. The cost of the Sunderland boat had been raised in the town and county of Derby by Thomas Roe, / Esq., the mayor ; William Peat, Esq., and other friends. The lifeboat was sent to Derby en route to its station, and a great demonstration took place there on the 22d ult., on the occasion of naming the lifeboat. Public demonstrations had also taken place at Sunderland and Dunbar, on the arrival of the new lifeboats at those places. The institution had also sent a new lifeboat to New Quay, Cornwall, to replace one previously there, which had become unfit for service. The several railway companies had, as usual, readily given free conveyances over their lines to the lifeboats to their respective stations. The institution had sent a beautiful model of its lifeboat and transporting car riage to the Naval Department of the South Ken sington Museum. It was stated that the institution was taking active steps to provide our seamen gene rally with a cheap and efficient lifebelt for use on shipboard in cases of shipwreck. The Board of Trade and the Commissioners of Customs had pro mised that their officers at the outports should ren der every assistance to the institution in carrying out its benevolent object in this respect. It should here be stated that much credit is also due to Mr. Charles Kilburn, of Richmond, for publicly calling attention to the necessity of providing our seamen with a cheap and handy lifebelt on his own plan. The proceedings then terminated. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) HEALTH OF THE BING OF THE BELGIANS. BRUSSELS, MAY 5.

The Opinione contains the following intelligence from Venetia : " On the 21st inst. the telegraph offices were kept at work by the Government all day long. As many as 19 telegrams were despatched, all concern ing notices received of insurrectional movements, which, according to the Venice police, were to have taken place yesterday. "To-day, after the Easter vacation, the Univer sity of Padua was reopened with a most strategical innovation—viz., one of the three doors that always remained open during the scholastic year, that lead ing to the Contrada delle Beccherie, was closed, and all circulation between the Via di S. Lorenzo and the great entrance was prevented, by means of a solid iron railing. This arrangement constrains all who enter to pass out by the same door, and the building of the university is thus divided into two parts. By these precautions the tranquillity of the university is secured ; however, I shall soon be able to give further details on the subject." SPAIN. MADRID, MAY 5.

There is no change to call for notice in the position of the Railway Share Mar ket, the same languor which has pervaded it for the past few days still continuing. The market has maintained the firm position it assumed at the open ing this morning, and quotations remain without material change, with the exception of the Credit Mobilier, which have advanced to 772 fr. 50c.—being an improvement of 10fr.

The following speech was delivered by the King of Hanover at the inauguration of a new lecture room at the university of Gottingen : " Your Magnificence, Gentlemen, Professora and Doctors, " Inheriting the love of my ancestors for the uni versity my atttention was early drawn circumstances of the Georgia t o o f a u our thecountry, Augusta, and even while Crown Prince I endea voured with the warmest interest to ascertain all particulars referring to that institution. It could not therefore escape my notice that, although the care of former rulers had erected numerous and con siderable buildings for the objects of the university, the most important edifice—viz., a suitable space for the lectures of the teachers of science--was want ing. Even when heir to the throne it was my wish that such a building should be erected. lam con vinced that my dear father, now resting in God, King Ernest Augustus, whose warm attachment and affection for the Georgia Augusta is known to you all, who resided at the university as a student, whose dearest youthful recollections were bound up with Gottingen, whose heart's wish to be able to visit the institution he so dearly loved once more in the evening of his life, and before he was called away, was graciously granted him by God—upon which occasion he gave his Georgia Augusta the splendid hospital which his paternal care called into existence and which bears his reverend name— I am convinced that he also would have filled up this very sensible hiatus, if the Lord had granted him longer life. But God determined otherwise, and therefore, after ascending the throne of my fathers, it became my task to carry out this work as soon as possible,which corresponded just as much with the desire of my father as with the wishes I had cherished even when Crown Prince. " Now, gentlemen, this work is accomplished, and I hope you will be convinced how far it has been completed in its external form in accordance with the high position and dignity of my university. With this lofty and significant building may a new and splendid era commence for the Georgia Au gusta ; not in the sense in which this term is un fortunately so often now misapplied, for that is im possible for the Georgia Augusta. But I mean a more splendid era for the cultivation of the sciences, whose exclusive culture upon the whole, as in indi vidual branches, has always been the task of the Georgia Augusta. Thus may theology make its exclusive task always to teach the epirit of the purest Christianity, free from all erroneous, philo sophical theories, as, indeed, the wise and tried teachers of the Georgia Augusta have always so well known how to distinguish true from false phi losophy. In the department of politics and State law in which the Georgia Augusta has so successfully advocated in the spirit of the Constitution of the Empire the superior rights of individual Princes as op posed to Cmsarism, can and will henceforth, where the Divine Ruler of our destinies in his wisdom deve loped supremacy to perfect sovereignty and the bond of empire to the federation of independent princes— be taught only the spirit of genuine monarchy and federation, under whose rule the peoples of Germany can alone find secure and lasting freedom. And so will it be also with all other branches of science, the more so as our century is so especially favoured by the daily increasing progress in the wide field of spiritual life. " Victory upon this ground will not be easy, be cause since the foundation of the Georgia Augusta other important high schools have been established ; but, gentlemen, without contest, no victory ! This, however, will be secured to you by the blessing of God, under the protection of the ruler of the house of Guelph, and with the assistance of such distin guished and great men as now belong to the Georgia Augusta and as will adorn it to all time. If the Georgia Augusta took up an honourable position among German high schools at a time when it was separated by the sea from the rulers of the country, now, when the kings of the house of Guelph have again assumed their lasting seat in their ancient and hereditary lands, and, if it be God's will, will remain connected with their subjects until the end of all things, it will not only vie with other German universities but will shine in advance of them like a meteor. May God grant it!" LITERATURE. Le Bain Turc. Par L. A. Gosse, Docteur en Medecine. Pp. 150. Joel Cherbuliez : Gevene et Paris. This is another and a very significant indication that the spread of the Turkish Bath as a Social and Sanitary Institution among the various races of Europe is, really, to borrow an Americanism, progressing satisfactorily. Take—in evidence of the fact that The Turkish Bath is spreading as an institution of this character among the nations of Christendom—take, we say, in proof of this clearly demonstrable fact, the simple coincidence of the publication of three notable brochures upon the subject (of which little group of three the pamphlet here referred to is one)—the publication, within a comparatively brief interval of each other, of three kindred works upon the subject of the Turkish Bath—at London, at Geneva, and at Lisbon. The London work we have already commented upon at some length in these columns, and that, too, but very recently—reference here being made to " The Manual of the Turkish Bath," compiled by Sir John Fife, M.D., from the writings of Mr. Urquhart. The Lisbon work—upon the same theme indentically, as the very title of it at once indicates —is a pamphlet describing " Os banhos turcos e as suas applicagBes a hygiene e a theraputica," penned by Dr. J. R. Marques. The Geneva work being the wel come little brochure, now more immediately under con sideration, a disquisition, as its able and outspeaking author entitles it, " Du Bain Turc modifil par l'enzploi du Calorique Rayonnant et de Son Introduc tion en Suisse." So that it has been formally intro duced, and—what is more to the purpose —appears to be now firmly and securely established in Switzer land. As unmistakeably established there, though not by any means, of course, upon a similar scale, as it has been here in England amongst ourselves— taking its place as the Turkish Bath does now in London, and in various parts of the provinces as amongst our recognised, national, insular, English institutions. Already, as Dr. Gosse takes occasion to remark with empressement in his preliminary pages, already the number of Turkish Baths, whether Public or Private, which have been opened within the very few years, has multiplied so rapidly in Great Britain that it has reached a total, even now, of upwards of Two Hundred. These 200 Turkish Baths, public and private, ranging of course from Baths of very moderate dimensions up to such noble establishments of the kind, as the one in Victoria street, Westminster, or as that finest bath of all, not only in this country, but, we believe, anywhere to be found, THE HAMMAM, at No. 76, Jermyn street, St. James's. Guide-books to the Turkish Bath, of one shape Or another, have already become so familiar to us, that the arguments running through any new corners of the kind amount really and truly to little else than a simple repetition of - the same facts and statements—irre fragable facts and unanswerable statements, in their way, we would add, from our own experience of them. Nevertheless, the theme is so (literally) refresh ing in its nature, that, repetitions though they may be, these new handbooks to or commen taries on the Turkish Bath still continue to be right welcome to us. Thrice welcome they can hardly fail to be, every one of them—as affording additional attestations of his sagacity and even, we might say, of his prescience—thrice welcome they must neces sarily be to Mr. Urquhart as the far-seeing reviver of the Turkish Bath as a sanitary institution among Europeans —as the introducer of it over here in England, and (as Dr. Gosse's pamphlet now shows him to have been also) yonder in Swit zerland. The Railway Traveller's Book of Information. By R. Bond. Pp. 203. Murray and Co. " Information--is the w-o-r-d !" would hardly be said here even by that fatuous fine-gentleman in The Mountebank, meaning Mr. Fechter's Lyceum-version of " Belphegor." Information—is nevertheless the word put down on Mr. Bond's titlepage. It is by no means, however, the word we should have • in scribed upon that titlepage. For " information" we should have been far rather disposed to say—read " gossip." And that gossip, too, a circuitous, meandering, circumlocutory gossip that would have done credit to the inconsequent small-talk of Mrs. Nickleby herself! Winnowing away the mere prattle and illustrative anecdotes lavished upon this little book of the compiler's, the amount of positive " information" vouchsafed to the Railway Traveller is in truth but very small indeed. A string of Railway Phrases at the end of the book might suggest a useful hint or two to Mr. Hotten for his next issue of the Slang Dictionary. The range of themes touched upon here by the compiler of the little hand-book is certainly something remarkable. The worst of it is that he touches upon each of them so very cursorily. Lugggage, Fares, Parcels, Season Tickets, and so forth are of course legitimate subjects for consideration in a volume of this description. But we should hardly imagine that it should have been deemed advisable, as it evidently has been deemed advisable, by the author and his publishers to render a guide-book of this kind (as it purports to be) for Railway Travellers generally, the medium for a diatribe against Smoking ! Even though we were not smokers ourselves, we should say this. It may be all well enough for a pragmatical Sove reign like King Jamie the VI. of Scotland and I. of England to issue a counterblast against Tobacco. But the putting forth the ipse dixit of a mere private individual against it couched in terms of unmeasured reprobation is really and truly in its way nothing less than an impertinence. For —after all—when everything has been said upon both sides, for and against the Smoking of Tobacco, it is simply—a matter of taste ! And, as the old threadbare proverb has it, de gustibus non disputan dunz. So much can we say, and no more, about Murray and Co.'s Book of Information for Railway', Travellers. Monsignor Dupanloup's Remarks on the Encyclical. Translated by W. J. M. Hutchison, S.C.L., Oxon. Pp. 49. Burns, Lambert, and Oates. A translation (this is announced to be upon its very title page) from the 7hirty-Second Paris Edi tion ! Already ! For, it was only a very few weeks since that the famous pamphlet of the Bishop of Orleans, commenting upon the Encyclical and the Syllabus, made its appearance. Already therefore, we say—the thirty second Paris edition A wonderful success it may appear to those who have not read it—but to those who have read it a success in no way at all wonderful. The wonder would have been had it not achieved it. For, never, certainly, was an argument put forth at one and the same time more boldly or more eloquently— with, if it may be so expressed, more of audacity, and yet in the self-same breath more of captivating persuasiveness. Whatever may be thought amongst us English People about the document upon which these remarks have been uttered so very impressively by Mgr. Dupanloup, about the Remarks themselves that that document hag thus elicited, there can hardly be any difference of opinion at all. They are utterances that, in the mere splendour of their eloquence, yield an explanation at once to the fair fame enjoyed, not in France alone, but throughout Europe, by Mgr. Felix Dupanloup. The brochure has been here very carefully and idiomatically done into English by the scholarly hand of Mr. Hutchison. The Enterkin. ByJohn Brown, M.D. Pp. 31.

It will take its place beside his other whimsical little publications, entitled " Our Dogs"—" With Brains, Sir"---" Minehmoor"—and " James the Doorkeeper." It can hardly hope, however, to attain the almost fabulous success achieved by Dr. Brown's most famous section of the Horx Subsecivw " Rab and his Friends," the which last work is now actually in its forty-fourth thousand !

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EMBEZZLEMENT—AN UNGRATEFUL RETURN FOR KIND NESS.—DanieI Millbank, a traveller and carman in the em ploy of Messrs. Nurdin and Peacock, the well-known and extensive egg importers, of Berwick-street, St. James's, was charged before Mr. Knox with embezzling the sum of .£2l 3s. 9d, received for and on account of his employers. Mr. G. F. Cooke, of King-street, Cheapside, appeared for the prosecution. Mr. W. J. Brown, cheesemonger, of Canonbury-place, proved paying the prisoner, on the 23d April last, the sum of £2l 3s. 9d, on account of Messrs. Nurdin and Peacock, of Berwick-street. The prisoner signed a receipt for the money, and three of the notes produced were the same he gave the prisoner, and bore his endorsement. Mr. John Thomas Peacock, of the firm of Nurdin and Peacock, said the prisoner had been in the employ of the firm 17 years, and about two years ago embezzled money to the amount of nearly £2l, but was then forgiven in consideration of his family and promises of amendment . The sum he received from Mr. Brown had not been accounted for in any way, the prisoner leaving his employ last Saturday and nct returning. In answer to Mr. Knox, Mr. Peacock said it was the prisoner's duty to account for all the moneys he received at the end of each day. Sergeant Cole, 23 C, proved taking the prisoner into custody last night at his lodgings, 12, Little Guildford street, Russell-square, and received from , him three £5 notes, with the remark that he had only spent £6, and that he had taken the money to pay some debts he owed. Mr. Cooke said it was not intended to prefer more than the one charge. He wished to state that the prisoner received £2 a week wages. Committed for trial. • SYSTEMATIC AND NUMEROUS ROBBERIES AT WEST-END Dims sswaus.—Elizabeth Hunter, a good-looking young woman, who refused her b address, was charged before Mr. Knox, with stealing 16 yards of silk, value £6 65., the pro perty of Miss Josephine Timothee, of 19, Warwick-street, and 41 yards of silk of the value of £9, the property of Miss Day, of 28, Glasshouse-street. lt appeared from the evidence that on the 24th of March the prisoner called at Miss Timothee's, a dressmaker, in arwick-street, telling her that she.was to make some dresses for a lady, and while Miss Timothee had gone to get an envelope to write her address upon it the prisoner took the opportunity of stealing some silk. On a subse quent day she went to Miss Day, a dressmaker, in Glass house-street, and having been left in a room for a short time stole a quantity of silk. Information having been given to the police, it being alleged there are about 100 charges against the prisoner—she was from a description given of her detained at a dressmaker's in Piccadilly, yes terday, and given into custody. Cowell, 109 C, said on taking the prisoner into custody she admitted taking the silk from Glasshouse-street, but not from Warwick-street. The prisoner, who repeated the statement she made to the constable, was committed for trial. THAMES. MAD Dium.—George Carr, a smooth-faced, active youth, in the service of Messrs. Wigram, shipbuilders, at Blackwall, was brought before Mr. Partridge, to answer two charges of assault. James Ball, a very heavy man, said he was in a public house in Old Manor-road, Stepney, yesterday evening, and while seated in a corner, the prisoner who was there chaffering and laughing at every one, struck him a severe blow on the mouth, which cut his lip and caused him to lose a good deal of blood. He was about to return the blow, and if he had done so he should have annihilated the prisonSr, who was only a stripling; but, on the intercession of the landlord, he called a police-constable and gave the prisoner into custody. Robert Stuart, a police-constable, No. 499 A, said the prosecutor came to him with his mouth bleeding, and said the prisoner had struck him. He saw the prisoner stripped and acting like a madman, fighting and swearing at every one with whom he came in contact. He tried to secure the prisoner, but was unable to do so, as he had nothing on but his trousers. The prisoner tried to throw him, and they both fell. He laid hold of the pri soner by the trousers, and he loosened himself and kicked him on the right eye. Mr. Partridge—And gave you that black eye ? Witness—Yes, sir ; he was like a madman. My eye is very painful. The prisoner said he was very drunk yesterday. __ _ Mr. Partridge--And committed two cowardly assaults. Some men would not have been so forbearing as the barge man. He could have inflicted some punishment upon you. I fine you 40s. for each assault, £4 in all ; or forty-two days' imprisonment. MARKETS---This Day. MARK-LANE.

The deceased, by trade a turner, formerly lived at Glas gow, and afterwards proceeded to London, and while there he appears to have been affected in his intellect. On Friday, the 20th of January, 1843, he fired twice at Mr. Edward Drummond, private secretary of Sir Robert Peel, who was walking in the street, and who had been pointed out to him as Sir Robert Peel. The wound inflicted by the pistol ball produced fatal results, and M'Naughten took his trial at the Central Cl iminal Court in the following March, when he was acquitted on the ground of insanity ; but the Lord Chief Justice ordered him to be detained during her Majesty's pleasure. He was removed to Bedlam, and sub sequently confined in the Criminal Lunatic Asylum at Broadmoor, where his health latterly failed, and it was proved that he died from natural causes. A verdict in ac cordance with the medical testimony was returned. abt. ffurit • 7,0 1 Ate • Jour - Clin . -- HER MAJESTY.

Thy Loss of the Eclipse. OFFICIAL REPORT. Greenwich Police Court, April 29, 186 5 . This was an inquiry u n d er th e p rov i s ions of the e Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, i n t o th e wreck of Eclipse at Dartmouth, on the sth April instant, on her passage from London to Swansea, to take ° ll e board a cargo o f coa l s f or C ey l on . The Eel i l l A s n was a sailing ship, bar q ue- r i gge d, o f 404 70 - l uv register tonnage, built at Salcombe, in Devonshire' in January, 1857, the property of several persl s i : four shares belonging to the Master. She ba the crew of 12 persons, all told. Two females/ ' ll wives of the master and chi e f m at e , were als° ° to board. She was commanded by Josiah Harris, w s3 holds a Board of Trade certificate of com petenel master, dated August 2, 1855, and had one Pl ate ,' also holding a master's certificate of co mpeten e l i ; Before leaving Lo n d on th e mas t er s hipped a Per, ° as of the name of Thomas Walter Scott, enterea second mate on the articles, but calling himself fast pilot, but with ou t cer tifi ca t e e ith er as ma te or p d°t. He was shipped for the run to Swansea, and was P rt e. bably engaged on th e suppos i t i on o f hi s being a A quainted with th e nav i gat i on o f t h e B r i sto l Cha 33l3 : t He designates himself o n hi s car d as "Th o mas Se ° " c i master mariner, North Sea, South Channel, all Baltic pilot," and states that he formerly held s certificate of competency as master, which cancelled in 1863 by the Board of Trade, in e° 115 . ,, 0 quence of his not appearing before the Local M ar 'd Board when summoned to answer a cha r g e e t drunkenness preferred against him. He ha s - 131 , applied for the renewal of his certificate, but is e e to ployed, as on this occasion, in the capacity ni ar d unqualified pilot. He describes his duties ont ° ., o the Eclipse as follows :—" To keep the esPl h e watch, and remain on deck when required." 0 Eclipse left London on the 30th of March last' ballast, and was off the Land's End on Tne s `;: e ' s the 4th of April ; and at 4 a . m . of the sth St. ' se Light bore S.W. by W., and the light on Traver Head E., the wind being S.S.W., and the w atch 4 hazy. The second mate had the watch fr °rs hie f to 8 a.m., the master remaining below. The c the mate took the watch again at 8 a.m., reCei Ving t o course E.N.E. from the second mate, who w en t lie _ bed, but desired to be called if the weath er ,_,• e k came very thick. The weather became w ' o f, about 9 30, when the land was lost sigh t , 13 d, and at 10 30 a.m. the chief mate went below 'liter called the second mate, who ordered him t° t o t the course to N.E. by E., which course wa s for a quarter of an hour, and then altered to ante E. by the captain's directions. The second .n3:11 was not then on deck, and did not come up t. T e to a.m.,. when he gave directions to the chief ma te . 1 1 shorten sail, but did not tell him his reason to the doing. The explanation now given by him f t he effect, that the master wished to get a sight ° tor land ; that he (the second mate) consider ed it ill safe to haul the ship in, but the master persis d te d his wish, and took him into the cabin and pol i te, out on the chart where he su pp os ed the ship tote) near Morte Point, Whe reas h e ( t h e second pl y believed they were off Hartland point ; that ill co ea pliance with the master's directions he s h°rt r o ab sail, and laid th e s hi p t o th e eas tward for s d seven minutes, th en gave th e cour se E.S.E., ° ast aboutthree minutes afterwards the ship was a ino the breakers, and went ashore about a quart er . t he mile south of Hartland quay. This 1 ° itte d second mate's account, but it is not adi3/ the d by the master, who denies having desire ie a ship to be kept to the land, or the cours e siteoflla to E.S.E., but that, on the contrary, he nee) to the chief mate (as appears in the evil is 0,0 that he thought "it was rather near." Be his - it may, no doubt the more easterly course, bY b l e v s biP soever given, was the proximate cause of t." 1 0- going on the rocks. The real cause of the loss, fshiP ever, was the gross neglect o f the lead. T ia h ora had been steering a course for at least thre e di as that brought her within easy hand-lead s o u n 11 1 A yet not a word is said about the lead till 1 0 t he few minutes before the ship goes ashore, hoW deep-sea lead is ordered to - be got up, too la e ithe r ever, to be used ; and this, too, when the arable was so thick that, according to the most favarteu r of account, they could not see more than a q u us e the a mile. For this default in neglecting . the lead, and thereby causing the loss of the sb ! r : i been master is to be held responsible. It would ha be en p e en a default in the master if the second mad ser ions i o l a duly qualified pilot, and this default la aggravated by his having committed the nal o ole of his ship to art uncer tifi ca ted and irr eePu _ person. The certificate of the masterhas 2 b 6t e_ h e s e t s.t . , the pended for six calendar months from the cr and is transmitted herewith.
