It seems as if the Austrians were determined to profit by the lessons they have received during the last summer, and those who think the empire is crushed beyond bOyond hope of recovery may after all find themselves mistaken in the long run. Whatever other faults they have, the Austrians are not wanting in fortitude, and where more volatile nations would despair they often contrive to re cover themselves in a surprising manner. It can hardly be a matter of doubt in the minds of those who have studied the events of the late campaign that there is great need of Reform in the Austrian army ; and hence it is satisfactory to find that some decided measures are to be adopted for this pur pose. The official Ahendpost has published a very important scheme of Austrian army reform, which seems to present very wise suggestions, and, indeed, (roes much further than might have been expected. It commences by stating that since the great mis fortunes that befell their army in the northern theatre of war, great care has been bestowed by the supreme authorities in order that they may find out what was the cause of the said lamentable occur rences. " Public opinion justly desires a paci fying explanation of this burning question," and therefore it has been the object of the investigators to go deeply into the matter, and not rest content with the discovery of surface errors, but to trace out primary causes. In doing so they have recog nised " deeply-lying evils," and are now firmly re solved to remove them entirely for the future. Pur suant to these laudable determinations, various schemes have been set on foot, and they are here re capitulated in an impressive manner. In the first place, it is truly stated that all Great Powers must make progressive efforts if they would keep pace with the spirit of the times, and hence Austria must not lag behind the others unless she is prepared to forfeit her claim among the nations of Europe. This has been so repeatedly expressed by far-sighted observers that it is reassuring to find its force has penetrated to those most immediately concerned ; and in the realisation of its justice lies the only sure hope of the empire recovering itself from the overwhelming blow it has received. It is one great step in the way of improvement for people to dis cover their errors and acknowledge them, and after the perusal of this official document it cannot be said that any hesitation prevails on this score in Vienna. If, as was more than hinted, we might attribute the decided failure of the troops of the EMPEROR to the fact that too much reliance was placed on the rules of the old regime at headquarters, it would seem as if they had awaked from their dream, and were now resolved to walk by the new lights that the discovery of science and the practice of experienced judges have recommended. Of course the difficulties that are always in the way of such arrangements are greatly increased in this instance by the very critical condition of the finances, but then there is the great advantage of the EMPEROR being free to look after its own in terests, without the weighty care attendant on it hitherto. The power of concentration this afforded will in a great degree compensate for the heavy sacrifices alluded to in this document, and we have no doubt that if the advisers of the EMPEROR had counselled him to relinquish Venetia at an earlier period the results of the war would have been very different, and at any rate Austria would be in a very much better position in respect to Germany to what she is now. The chief object that these reformers have in view is to change the present military system in so opportune a way that as " many efficient persons capable of bearing arms as possible may be procured and satisfactorily trained to military service, and that they may be organised and equipped properly without overbur dening the Treasury." General defence, now a " dead letter," must be reorganised as a paramount duty, and all arrangements relate to that important end so far as it can be practically done. In order that iu time of war the army may come on the field in suitable style to match other Powers, it is impe ratively necessary that every possible limitation of exemption should be employed, entire abolition of the substitute system should take place, and other similar plans. Like every other practical reform, it is certain that these salutary changes will pain.- fully affect many to begin with, and that the cur tailment of privileges and forfeiture of indul gences will be very unwelcome ; but then it must be borne in mind that general good should come before particular advantage in the eyes of all true patriots, and what is here advised will in the end turn out to affect all sub jects of the empire, for it is a scheme of a national character and comprehensive kind, such as does not I I often occur, and such as is not likely to be intro duced at all, except in cases of great emergency. Secondary considerations are put aside, and minor inducements forgotten in the presence of the peril that environs the country and the loss that threatens the community. Perhaps no part of this document is more true than this significant passage. "We must never again lag behind other large armies in the matter of arms. The sad experience of recent months must have convinced every one that the most speedy supply of breech-loaders, &c., already commenced, is an indispensable necessity to the Austrian army." Who can help reflecting, when they peruse this emphatic declaration, that it might have been far otherwise than it is now with the directors of the Austrian army had the force of this truth appeared to them last year at this time, or eves if they had been sufficiently sensible of their deficiencies not to press on the war as they did, but decidedly come to some arrangement which would have nut off the evil day until they were more prepared to meet it ? The principle of very costly heads of departments will have to give place to a system based on trust, and also the retgulations as to fees and administra tion will be simplified and made more clear ; and, besides all these and other schemes that relate to the material readiness of the army, it is desired by the highest authorities that the moral interests should not be neglected. It is well said that the mind is the most efficient weapon of wa r "in the army as everywhere el se re spect and the hi g h est and assistance is due to knowledge, as the indispensable foundation of ability." Mili tary educational institutes a n d schools areto be arranged for the troops, and therefore it is ex pected military efficiency will greatly increase and perfect itself among all divisions. Every sensible person will see, as it is here remarked, that in order to effect all 'this a great deal of patience will be re quired as well as time and firm will. Perhaps more of this last than any other requisite will be needed, but the necessity is so apparent for some decisive change to be effected that there is no reason to despair of the fi n al accomplishment of this :scheme for the reformation of the army in Austria. It can only be attended with success if a general co-operation takes place, and if all ranks and classes will lend themselves to the great work before them with spirit and energy, and, what is still harder of accomplishment, with self denial and sincerity. It will be a great material gain to Austria if her army is rendered efficient to her need, and it will likewise be a great gain to Europe in keeping the balance of power more equally adjusted, so that in every respect we hope that suc cess will attend this well-considered scheme of military reform. Friday, the 9th, was no unimportant day for L dun. It was the twenty-fifth anniversary of the birth of our popular Heir Apparent, and all loyal subjects recalled the occasion with cordial good wishes. It was also the time-honoured day on which that important functionary whom intelligent foreigners regard as only second in uthority and influence to royalty itself entered upon his year of office. But for neither of these events was the 9th o f Noyember, 1866, especially memorable. In an.. ThE SUN, LOIN!, ON, MONDAY EVENIAG, NOVEMBER U, 1366. other ' , capital there was held a festive celebration before. which all the glories of Windsor and Guild hall -would fall, for it has never been our fashion, in court or municipality, to vie with the splendours of more Eastern nations. England is content with pc messing the substance of wealth and power with out displaying their emblems to the eye of the world. In. - the strongholds of the Czaxs, however, it is tra ditionary custom as well as imperial policy to mark the. principal incidents in the fortunes of the reign ing ;family with all possible pomp and gran deur. The populace, who still look up to the CZAR as the chief of human beings as well as the most powerful of monarchs, would be surprised and shocked if the births, deaths, and marriages of his family were conducted after the fashion of ordinary mortals. Accordingly the splendour of the wedding festivities of the CZARE VITCH and the Princess DAGMAR, of Denmark, will long be remembered by the countless peasants of that vast empire, which stretches over so large a portion of the European continent, and even invades Asia. England herself, though less immediately concerned than the two nations who celebrate the alliance, watches the event with deep inte rest. The fortunes of the fair young Princess, whose short life has been marked by such striking events, are sufficiently romantic to attract the attention of totally indifferent specta tors, and the sister of our popular Princess can hardly fail to excite our sympathies. It is not yet four years since the grace and beauty of the Prin cess DAG3IAR divided the attention of English gazers who thronged to welcome her sister, and amid the keen interest subsequently excited by the sufferings of Denmark the news came as a consola tion to English sympathisers that another brilliant alliance was in store for King CnnisTlAN's The prospective crown of England was enough one might have supposed for any one family, but the fortunes of the Princess DAG3IAR were to vie with those of ALEXANDRA. It was not for long, however, that England and Denmark indulged in these brilliant anticipations, for the melancholy and premature death of the CZAREWITCII threw a dark and unexpected cloud over the fortunes of Princess DAGMAR. She returned from her mournful jour ney southwards to live in retirement in her own country. But the months passed on, and she was again called forth to take her place among the Russian people, to whom she was already endeared, and this time fate has been more merciful, and all has passed off brilliantly and successfully. The splen dour of the celebration was in accordance with the custom of the Russo-Greek Church and worthy of the occasion. The guests were of high rank and dignity, and included three heirs-apparent, all nearly connected with the bride. The Prince of WALES, the Crown Prince of PRUSSIA, and the Prince of DEN MARK took prominent parts in the service; though we are sorry to find that the Prussian Prince, with that want of tact which has formerly distinguished him, took in his suite two generals who took part in the Schleswig-Holstein war. Courtesy to the bride should have made him, one would think, more care ful in his selection ; but it is sometimes less easy to play the part of victor than of vanquished. However, all went off with no apparent drawback, and theyoung Princess has entered on her new career amid the hearty good wishes of all around her. She has already had good reason to know that the splendours of a throne do not exempt its occupants from the griefs and anxieties of lower ranks. Her father's political troubles and the family bereavement of the CZAR have taught her, we may hope, to estimate rank and power at their true value ; but happily in these days she may also realise the fact that, though royalty is not free from the sorrows of private life, neither need it be deprived of its joys, and among the Courts of Europe she may find many instances of domestic happiness and of family union. Those who wit nessed the gorgeous spectacle of the 9th night well recall the words which our English poetess ad dressed to Queen VICTORIA at the commencement of her happy married life, and pray that " the bless ings happy peasants have " might light upon the fair young head which is one day, we may hope, to put on the crown of PETER and CATIIARINE. We are glad to find that the important question of the metropolitan gas supply is not to be left alto gether in abeyance. On Saturday a deputation waited upon Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE to invite the attention of the Government to the matter, and to suggest that amendments should be introduced into the Gas Bill of 1860. This was recommended by the Parliamentary Committee of last Session, who reported that they found the illuminating power greater and the quality of the gas better in Manchester, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Plymouth, and other towns than in London ; that the purification is imperfect in London, that the effect of the Act was to raise the market value of the shares and to increase the dividends of the companies, all of whom now pay 10 per cent., besides having, in many cases, paid large sums as back dividends, and keeping reserve funds. The committee advised that a chemical board should be appointed at the cost of the gas companies to regulate the analysis of purity and illuminating power ; that proper testing officers should be appointed for each district, and that the limitation of the power of making up former defi cient dividends should be reduced from six to three years. In general terms they recommend an increase of the illuminating power and a decrease in the price, two recommendations very welcome to the rate payers, but not so pleasant for the companies who are certain to get up a strong opposition .to - any measures of the kind proposed. Mr. BEAL, a member of the deputation, stated that he believed that the gas for which that' were now paying 4s. and 4s. 6d. could be supplied for 2s. 9d. to 3s. per 1,000 cubic feet. Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE asked whether it was not a question upon which the Metropolitan Board could take action, but it was explained that the Metropo litantfahveondrepotfitaGtioov n ern s m tro en n t gl a y ct ur io Board w as not municipal. Other members of urged the em bo Y d re y sid th e e nt r i e n_ commendations of the Committee in a bill to amend the Gas Act of 1860. Sir S.

Loss of H.M.S. Griffon. ---r --__ Intelligence has been received at the Admiralty that her Majesty's ship Griffon was lost on the even ing of the 2d of October, off Little Popo, Bight of Benin. No lives were lost. The Griffon is described in the Navy List as a screw gun vessel with five guns, of 425 tons, and 80 horse-power. She was launched in 1860, and was commissioned by Commander John L. Perry in June, 1861, who sailed in her for the West Coast of Africa, and returned to England with his ship in June,u 18nderg 65w ong a hienshewaspaid off at Sheernes s . After thorough repair and refit at Sheerness dockyard, she was recommissioned by Commander Duncan George Davidson Juno 12 fol lowing, and in July sailed to the West Coast of Africa. M.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. The Emperor of Austria has returned from Vienna from his journey to Bohemia and Moravia. The Archdukes, the Ministers, the municipal council, and the principal civil and military authorities of the city went to receive his Majesty, who was cor dially cheered by the population. The King of Italy will remain at Venice till Wednesday. The interests of Prussian subjects having been confided to the Legation of France at Munich during the interruption of diplomatic relations between Prussia and Bavaria, the Government of King William (says the Malheur) has just expressed its thanks to the Emperor for the protection afforded to Prussian subjects. There was a Cabinet Council yesterday at St. Cloud, at which the Emperor presided. The co.nrnittee appointed to consider the re-or ganisation of the army, after two sittings, have adjourned till to-morrow. They have already de cided upon the changes which are thought to be necessary, and it is said that at the meeting to morrow the plan will be drawn up in the form in which it is to be presented to the Chambers. Some exaggerated reports have been in circulation relative to the arrest of some students at the Cafe de la Renaissance, and some papers have gone so far as to attribute political objects to these students. There is nothing connected with polities in the as semblage of these excitable students of the quartier Latin. The object of the meetings was simply to discuss some supposed insults offered to a deputation of the working men of Paris at the recent meeting of that class at Geneva. This fact explains why some working-men were present at the Cafe de la Renaissance, but the authorities do not charge them with any political object, and it is quite untrue that they belong to a secret society, as has been stated. The students are merely charged with having attended an illegal meeting, that is to say, a meeting held without the requisite previous permission. All the persons arrested will probably be set at liberty immediately without any punish ment. A murder, under peculiar circumstances, has taken place in the commune of Epfig, near Stras bourg. On Sunday last a farmer, named Florentz Metz, sent for a Jew, named Wolff, residing in the same commune, and said he wished very particularly to see him. Metz, it appears, was indebted to Wolff 7,500 f. for a house which he had purchased of him, and it was under the pretext that Metz meant to pay him that Wo]ff was induced to go. Particulars have now transpired of a horrible tragedy which was enacted. Wolff not having returned home, his family made inquiries, and it was found he had been to visit Metz. They applied to the Commissioners of Police,who went and searched the house. After several hours research the officers proceeded to a barn, and circumstances induced them to examine the straw. At a depth of two metres the body of Wolff was found covered with wounds from some cutting instrument. After the perpetration of the crime it appears that Metz forged the signature of Wolff to the receipt for the amount due to him for the house bought by the murdered man. Metz and a presumed accomplice, named Xavier, have been arrested. After several days of splendid weather a change has come. Last night it rained heavily, and to day it has been wet and very stormy, cold, and dis agreeable. The Government of Grand Ducal Baden has just opened to the public a new line of railway from Heidelberg to Wurtzburg. This line traverses an uninterrupted chain of mountains, and the works were difficult of execution, but they have been finished satisfactorily, and the line will be very ser viceable, as it will afford a rapid communication between France on the one part and the Rhine and Central Germany on the other. Various projects, having for object to complete the principal railway chain in the region of the Rhine, and to lead here after to the construction of secondary lines of rail way similar to the railways of local interest in France, are under consideration. M. Marehandise, a farmer of Assovilliers, a day or two ago, shot an eagle in the neighbouring forest of Feuillercs, which weighed about 141 b. The bird, which measures about 21 metres, has been sent to Paris to be stuffed. It had killed several sheep within a few days. The wife of a hairdresser at Termude, near Liege, named Emmanuel Smekens, has just brought into the world four girls, who were all christened to gether at the Collegiate Church in the presence of great numbers of the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood. The health of the mother leaves nothing to desire, and the children are perfectly well. They are well organised and likely to thrive. The journal l'Evenement will coase to appear after Tuesday next. It was a poor affair and will not be missed. The Evenement is to merge in the I'igaro, which will become a daily paper. _ _ On the southern facade of the beautiful addition to the Pavilion de Flore of the Tuileries there has just been engraved in Roman figures the date of 1865, the period when the carcase of the building was finished. Underneath is the Imperial arms en graved in gold. On the level of the roof of the Pavilion is a colossal group representing Liberty holding a torch, seated on an eagle, the outspread wings of which protect Science and Agriculture. The dramatic authors of Paris have organised a subscription, the object of which is to purchase a plot of ground at the Cemetery of Montmartre, where a monument is to be erected, commemorative of the terrible shipwreck of the Evening Star. The names of the sufferers will b e engrave d upon thi s mo relatives numen and tanda space will be app ro p r i a t e d w h ere the friends of the sufferers may repair to pray for them. By a sinister and curious coin cidence, the Ville de Paris, on board of which the unfortunate artists who perished in the Evening Star, were transported to New York, has met with a serious casualty. The Vile de Paris was about to sail again for New York when some accident happened to the screw, and she got aground. In spite of all exertions she was not afloat at the time of the last account. The Pereire, which sailed from Havre for New York on the 25th of October, made an extraordinarily rapid passage. She reached New York in nine days. This is the quickest passage, I believe, which has yet been recorded. The Emperor and Empress will leave St. Cloud for Compiegne in the coarse of the week. The first series of the invited guests will include the Ambassa dors of the great Powers at Paris. The Ministers and foreign Envoys will be comprised in the second series of guests. Ten sorts of postage stamps are now sold in Paris of different colours, from one centime to five francs. The Oriental department of the Great Exhibition is likely to be brilliantly distinguished. The Persian Minister Plenipotentiary at Paris, General Hassan Ali-Khan, has visited the locality and expressed great admiration at its immense proportions and Admirable effect, even at present. Immediately after his visit he sent several officers of his Legation to Teheran in order that they might press upon the intention of the Persian Government the importance and expediency of giving a prominent position to Persia. Although the Persian Government is already occupied with the subject, the Persian Envoy has thought fit to press it with great earnestness, with a view to present at the Exhibition striking and won derful proofs of the activity and resources of Persian industry. STEAM PACKET COLLISION. —During the dense fog which prevailed on Saturday morning the Apollo, a powerful steam picket plying between Cork and Bristol, came into collision off Portishead with the Ely, a packet of smaller power, which was on her passage from Cardiff to Bristol. Both vessels were much damaged. The Ely had paddlewheels rendered useless, and her commander, Capt. Parfito, received some serious injuries. By the aid of a stcamtug the passengers, about 70 in number, were got off and landed at Avonmouth, whence they were conveyed to Bristol by a special train on the Bristol Port and Pier Rail way. STRANGE SCENE IN A DUBLIN CHURCIL—DUB LIN) SundaY.—Whon the Archbishop of Dublin went into the pulpit of St. Mark's Church to preach to-day about 300 young men of respectable appearance left in a body.

SERIOUS OUTBREAK OF YELLOW FEVER ON BOARD. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 12. The royal mail steamship Atrato, from the West Indies, has arrived at her anchorage off Netley Hospital. The ship and passengers have been placed in quarantine by Doctor Weblin, the Medi cal Superintendent of this port. Yellow fever having broke out on board just before leaving St. Thomas the case was sent ashore to the hospital there. Since sailing from St. Thomas there have been 35 cases, an average of three cases daily, of this number 14 have proved fatal, the last seizure being the captain's servant, which occurred yesterday. A steam tender has been sent down to the Atrato with instructions for the mails, ship's papers, and despatches' to be thoroughly fumigated before they are allowed to be brought ashore. It is expected that the ship and passengers will be kept in qua rantine for six days, but that will depend upon the instructions which Dr. Wiblen may receive from the Council in London. The cases of yellow fever on board the Atrato have been entirely confined to the seamen and ser vants of the ship, excepting Dr. White, the surgeon, and Mr. Morrish, the purser, who were amongst those attacked, but are now convalescent. No case has occurred amongst the passengers. FRANCE. PARIS, Nov. 12. During the last few days no case of cholera has been reported in this city. _ _ The Constitutionnel denies the assertions of the Memorial Diplonzatique relative to the language of Mr. Ode Russell during his passage through Paris. Mr. Russell did not enter upon the hypothesis of the withdrawal of the Pope from Rome, nor did he state that he was authorised by the British Govern ment to offer hospitality to his Holiness. Mr. Kopp has communicated to the Academy of Sciences the result of some practical experiments on the nitro-glycerine used in quarries in France for blasting purposes. 1,500 grammes will detach about 70 cubic metres of hard rock. The nitro-glycerine employed is heavier than water ; it may be handled with comparative safety, but a violent shock will cause it to explode. The Moniteur de l'Armee publishes an article upon the inferences drawn by the Paris journals relative to the proposed reorganisation of the army, and says :—" The National Guard will never be any thing but a reserve. Above all it is necessary to have an army before the formation of a reserve. The effective strength of 400,800 men as a peace establishment will not therefore be reduced. The object of the commission appointed to report on this question will be to discover the means of constitut ing a reserve always available, more considerable, and better instructed and exercised than the present. Such an institution will not permit any reduction in the war budget, hut will, on the contrary, necessitate some sacrifices indispensable for the honour and security of the country." The review of the Imperial Guard in the Bois de Boulogne on Monday last derived a special interest from the fact that it was the first official appearance of the Emperor in public since his illness. The troops were formed on two different portions of the Bois—the racecourse and St. James's—as on either open space the thirty battalions, sixteen squadrons, and twelve batteries of artillery, of which this force was composed, would not have had sufficient de ployment room. The troops were under the com mand of Marshal Count Regnaud Saint-Jean-d'- Angely. After a few mancenvres they were massed and defiled before the Emperor. His Majesty, with the Empress and Prince Imperial, arrived in a car riage. The Emperor afterwards mounted and gal loped down the line. In spits of the cold there was a considerable number of spectators. It is necessary to caution manufacturers and in tending exhibitors against being imposed upon by unauthorised parties who are soliciting. advertise ments not only for the Official Catalogue, but for " guides" and projected publications that can never be circulated in France. Notice has been given in the Moniteur by the Imperial Commission that the Official Catalogue is the only publication that will be permitted. M. Dentu has paid £20,120 for the concession ; while Messrs. J. M. Johnson and Son, of Castle-street, Holborn, have secured for a large sum the exclusive right of inserting all the British advertisements.

CASE OF STABBING.—James Mooney, an elderly man, described as a military instrument maker, was charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt with stabbing Frederick Mooney, and assaulting Mary Mooney with a sword stick. Mary Mooney (who gave her evidence in a very con fused manner), said that about 12 o'clock last night the prisoner, who was her husband's brother, and lived at No. 17, Porter-street, was in bed with his clothes on, and her husband was in another bed in the same room. After hor husband had a pipe in bed she fell asleep by the side of the fire, and she was awoke by hearing her husband cry out. She asked her husband what was the matter, and ho replied, "James has been after stabbing me." The prisoner then struck her on the head, and she bled a great deal. Her husband was then taken to the Charing-cross Hospital, where he still remained, and she had her head dressed. Felice-constable Allwood, 186 C, said he was called to the house in Porter-street, being informed that murder was going on. He saw the female (Mary Mooney) bleeding fro.n a wound on the head. She said that her brother-in law had struck her either with a stick or a poker. On going upstairs ho found a man (Frederick Mooney) lying on the floor moaning, and he said the prisoner, who was sitting by the fire, had stabbed him in the belly with a sword stick. He took the prisoner into custody, and the injured man was taken to the hospital, and the doctor said tho wound was a very bad one. Mr. D'Eyncourt—What did the prisoner say when he was charged by her brother with stabbing him ? Allwood—He said, taking up a sword stick, that he had done it with that, and that be had only just given his brother a probe with it, and that his brother and his bro ther's wife had broken into his room. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Did the prisoner appear excited. Allwood—All the parties were drunk. The prisoner went quietly to the station. Mrs. Mooney (recalled) said in answer to Mr. D'Eyncourt —I have been at the prisoner's room since Tuesday last, and we agreed to pay half the rent of it as the prisoner has no wife to do for him. My husband broke the room door open in the prisoner's absence. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Did that annoy the prisoner? Mrs. Mooney—He laid in bed and did not stir, and I knew nothing till I was awoke while asleep by the fire. The prisoner said his brother had smashed in his door, and that he was afraid of him, as he had taken up knives to his sons and been imprisoned for it. His brother was a powerful man, and he (prisoner) bought the sword-stick for his protection. Mr. D'Eyncourt—lf your brother dins you will be charged with murder. It is a vory serious case. You will bo remanded. BREAKING A MAN'S ARM.—Edward Shannon, a labourer, was charged before Mr. I)'Euycourt, with being drunk and assaulting Edward Horner, a button stamper, residing at 27, Cleveland-street, Fitzroy-square, and breaking his arm. The complainant said—On Saturday night about half past eight o'clock I was coming along Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square, when I saw the prisoner lying on the top of another man, both appearing to be drunk. The pri soner got up and said, " I'll gouge your eye out." I told him that he must not do that, and he then seized hold of me by the legs and threw me across the kerb and fell on me. My arm was broken. I was quite sober. Mr. D'Eyncourt —Have you been to the hospital ? Complainant—l have, to the Middlesex Hospital, and they wanted me to stay there. Mr. D'Eyncourt—You had better do so if they wish it ? Henry Purley, 5 A, Cleveland-street, gave similar evi dence to the complainant, stating that the complainant had not given the prisoner any provocation. Police-constable Jesse Stickland, 91 E, said—Between 8 and 9 o'clock on Saturday night I saw the complainant and the prisoner squaring up to each other. I told them to leave off, as I could not allow any fighting to go on in the streets, and the prisoner then took hold of the com plainant and threw him and broke his arm. The com plainant was sober, but the prisoner was not. Mr. D'Eyncourt (to the complainant)— The constable says that you squared up to the prisoner ? Complainant—l only did that to protect myself. Mr. D'Eyncourt What are you ? Complainant—l am a button stamper, and have to work for my living. Mr. D'Eyncourt (to the prisoner)—lt is a serious thing. You perhaps have disabled the complainant for life. I shall remand you for a week. EAnwAts. For Account.

STEALING GOODS IN TRANSIT.--Ilenry Wedge and Samuel Lynch, carmen, were charged with stealing goods from a bale. This morning the attention of Inspector Alstin, of the Thames Police, was called to Lynch, who was loading goods, at the Aberdeen Wharf, in Wapping. After load ing ho drove away, pulled up at the Hermitage-bridge, over the lock of the London Dock, and waited there a short time, and then drove his team to Hermitage-street, and was there joined by Wedge, who was driving a horse and cart. Wedge got into Lynch's waggon, and both ap peared to be doing something to the bales of goods there. After some time Lynch handed something in a bag to Wedge, who put it in his cart, and then drove off. Ho stopped the horse and cart, took Wedge into custody, and asked him what he had taken from the other van, to which he replied, "Nothing." He seized the bag, and found its contents to be 14 pairs of woollen hose. He asked the prisoner how he accounted for them, to which he replied, "Lynch gave them to me." He overhauled the goods in Lynch's van, and found a bale had been tampered with. One bundle of hose had been removed from a bale, and two others were deficient. On reaching the station-house Wedge said that Lynch gave him the property, and had taken it of a bale. The 14 pairs of hose were the pro perty of the Aberdeen Steam Shipping Company. - The prisoners were remanded. A FOOL AND HIS Mossy.—Two young women, named Fanny Willoughby and Sarah Jones, were charged with being concerned with another woman named Ann Halli day, in stealing £22 in gold and silver, from the person of an elderly man named Henry Morris, in the service of Mr. George Imsley, licensed victualler, of the Black Lion public-house, in New Montague-street, Whitechapel. The prosecutor had been collecting money for his master at Old Ford, Bow, on Friday afternoon last. He neglected his master's interests, became intoxicated, and lost his way. Ho met these women in Bow and took them to the Bow Bells public-house, and treated them to rum and pork pies. He fell asleep with his head on the table, and after he had been asleep some time he was aroused by Halliday, and he missed £22, his master's money. It was in his left hand jacket pocket when he entered the public-house. He made no complaint whatever to the people in the house, or any inquiry about the three women, but went straightway to the station-house in the Bow-road, where he made his loss known and gave a description of the women. Halliday was taken on Friday night, and remanded by Mr. Partridge on the following day. The prisoners Jones and Willoughby were taken on Saturday night. The prosecutor swore positively to them as being two of the women who ac companied him to the Bow Bells. Mr. Paget remanded the prisoners until Saturday next. WESTMINSTER. A CONVICT NOT REPORTING HIMSELF.—Edward Killery, a ticket-of-leave man, was charged with neglecting to re port himself to the inspector on duty at Westminster sta tion, according to the terms of his license. Mr. Inspector Humphreys, of the B division, said the prisoner was a convict on license. It was his duty to re port himself to 'Westminster station once a month ; he re ported himself to witness on J uly 20th, and on the 19th of September for the last time. He failed to report himself in October, and has not been seen since. His license would expire on the 3d of January next. Since the granting of his license he had removed, but both his residences were in this district. The prisoner knew what he was to do, as the terms were with the license. Prisoner said he went to Brighton to work, and could not get back in time to report himself. He thou went to work at Bow and Stratford, and was afraid to go near the station. He had lost his license. Mr. Humphreys said the prisoner must have known that he was suspected about a month ago, and had since kept out of the way. Prisoner requested that inquiries should be made about him at Brighton and Bow. Mr. Selfe said ho did not know how true the story might be, but he could make no inquiries. All he could do was to commit the prisoner to Milbank to undergo the remain der of his sentence, according to the Act of Parliament. Prisoner was committed accordingly. THE DIOCESS OF ROCHESTER.—A conference of the clergy and laity of the diocess of Rochester—one of a series organised by the Bishop—was held on Friday at Hal stead. The following resolution was adopted :—" Having regard to the spiritual wants of the population, this confe rence thinks it desirable that lay agencies should be more extensively employed, especially with regard to the orga nisation of lay-readers and co-operators, with a view to bring all lay agency under the direct sanction of this Bishop of the diocess." THE ROYAL VISIT TO NORWICH.--Load Stafford, who entertained the Prince and Princess of Wales on their visit to Norwich, has acceded to a request made to him by the Norwich Town Council to sit for a commemorative portrait to be placed in St. Andrew's Hall. The accounts of the Norwich festival are still not finally made up, but it may be observed that further examination on the part of the secretary and treasurer show that the actual receipts were something more than amounts already published, some of the wealthy patrons of the festival having pur chased tickets without using them. It is now calculated that the combined concert and ball receipts of the festival of 1866 exceed those of the festival of 1863 by the sum of £450. On the other hand, the Royal visit entailed on the committee an extra expenditure of £6OO or £7OO, so that the surplus available for the local charities is Dot likely to exceed £l,OOO, as previously estimated, e 45-- .
