LONDON, SATURDAY, NOV. 17, 1866. From the French papers we learn that atdespatch has arrived from Berlin, intimating that the Prus sian Government had declined to open negotiations for the present for a commercial treaty with Austria, as the latter had proposed to do. What may be the reason for this refusal it is of course impossible as yet to ascertain, but it certainly seems very inconsistent with the friendly intentions that Prussia every where proclaims so loudly, and it cannot but hinder the establishment of that universal peace and security so very desirable for the distracted nation of Germany just now. The Chamber of Deputies in Berlin seem, so far as we can judge, to be already tired of the encroachments of the Ministers, and to look suspiciously at any propo sition that comes from them in the shape of pro visions for the exigencies of the late war, under cover of that elastic shelter. Count BISMARCK has, of course, been able to do a great deal, but he may overreach himself in that as well as in other things if he does not take heed. The Finance Minister brought in a bill relative to the pensions an allow ances to the leaders of the Prussian army during the late war. He also asked that one million and a half thalers might be set apart out of the war indemnities for disposal by his Majesty the KING. This bill was referred to a special committee after a long debate had taken place upon it. The Budget will be the next thing considered by the Chamber, and it will afford some interest to a great many to see whether the Deputies can contrive to manage it better than they generally do on these occasions. Perhaps the excitement and enthusiasm created by the war may urge them on to meet the Government proposalswith unanimity, if not with absolute approval, and so the danger may be warded off for this year; but it says very little for the goodwill and unity that will reign in the new German Parliament, when in a long established Assembly like that at Berlin, we find so much discordance prevail upon the most important and mighty matters. In the Chamber of Deputies at Dresden the State Minister for Dresden declared that Saxony had concluded an alliance with Austria either before or during the war, and he made this statement in the most positive manner. It appears to have been much the same thing whether she did so or not, for all the small States have fared pretty much alike in the long run, however diferent their apparent cir cumstances may be. 'The only aim and object which Prussia has had has been to get all the power to herself, and this she has carried out, no matter who suffered in the working out of her designs. We regard her refusal to form a treaty of commerce with Austria as a piece of that bravado which she is so fond of displaying at all times and in all places ; and no doubt we should, before long, find out the full meaning of it in an unsatisfactory manner. The intelligence brought by the China is of a somewhat surprising nature. The Baltimore diffi culty, which, according to the news of the last mail, threatened to become serious, has assumed a new form, which, notwithstanding the gravity of the interests involved, possesses some degree of the ludi crous. The last news we heard was that the old Police Commissioners had been formally deposed by the Governor, and new ones appointed in their places, who had summoned their predecessors to de liver up the station-houses and the property of all kinds. We were further told that the old Commissioners had declared that they would only yield to superior force, but there was no intimation given of the extraordinary step they had in view. The China tells us that on the 3d of November the old Police Commissioners of Baltimore arrested and confined the new Com missioners, with the Sheriff, in gaol, charging them with endeavouring to excite a riot ! The new offi cials of course refused to acknowledge the legality of their arrest, and would not give bail. They were therefore, on the 6th, the date of the news, still in gaol. Their counsel applied for a writ of Habeas Corpus, which it was decided the warder of the gaol was not bound to give! If it were not for the serious interests concerned this plotting and counter plot ting could hardly fail to raise a smile. It is mere playing at legislation, or rather it is like children playing with fire, for as the bonds of civil order are broken, and the people, already danger- I ously excited, are taught to throw off all outward respect for official authority, it is impossible to foresee the consequences. The difficulty has been for the present compromised, it is said, through the intervention of General GRANT, who visited both the old and the new Commis sioners, and endeavoured to effect some arrange ment. A Conservative judge and clerk of the elec tion has been appointed in each district, in addition to those already appointed. Some idea of the state of public feeling in Baltimore may be gained from the fact that 4,000 muskets have been seized in the stores of different Conservatives in the city. The Radical threats had evidently been taken by their opponents as something more than empty words, and if we knew the secrets of the Radical stores we should probably find that the Conserva tives were right in their estimation. The struggle between civil authority and Radical despotism has thus showed itself in its true colours at Baltimore, and it is hoped that those who are not carried away by political excitement will take warning by the lesson. The Police Commissioners of Baltimore have been notoriously unscrupulous i t tt t eknes of their in their conduct durin g the elections, and, in fact, e t h a u e y s e a h n y d r t e h f e u i s r i n a g l i a e s t fi a r d s m d h t u t e suhm e i wt u a examination. t e h n e t y e r t e h d e i n n t r o e f t u h s e e i d r guilt was clearly prove d ion a w nd as , As soon as the investigation to submit to deposition, and have throughout openly declared their intention of resisting the execution of the Government's orders by force. Here is an example of insubordinationuaonwd can n to w u e s conduct set by officials themselves. expect the disorderly portion of the populace to fail to take the lesson ? The differences may be arranged by the mediation of General GRANT, or by a series of compromises ; but the manner in which the Radicals have defied order and resisted authority is painfully suggestive. The same experiment may be tried on a larger scale with more serious consequences, and the knowledge that, however violent or unreasonable their conduct, the Radicals may safely rely on Congress for support will embolden them to fling off all restraint The differences between the Executive and the Representatives leave the country without one defi nite authority to whom to appeal ; and the mania of party spirit affects the bench, the bar, and the pul pit, and th e press, so that there is positively no public spirited leader of opinion who will dare to speak and to act on constitutional grounds regard less of the consequence to himself or to any par ticular kind of politicians. An open-air meeting has been hell by the Radi- cals in New York, at which General BUTLER, who seems to be put forward as an orator now-a-days, made a speech. On this occasion he was not fortu nate in suiting the taste of bis auditory, for he was hooted and pelted. There has been plenty in BUTLER'S career to deserve such treatment, but we are not told what was his particular offence at the New York Assembly. Fenian indignation meetings are still being held throughout the States, though without much effect. It is likely that the culprits in Canada will obtain a com mutation of their sentence. The news from Mexico is not a little singular. The EMPEROR set out for Vera Cruz on the 21st, in order to avoid meeting General CASTE LNEAN, who arrived in Mexico on the 23d, and took upon himself the administration of affairs, as the Mexican Ministry had resigned. All this tends towards the abandonment by MAXIMILIAN of his thorny and profitless dignities, and we shall probably have decisive intelligence to that effect before long. It would seem as if the destinies of the whole continent of America were under some warlike influence, for from Canada to Para guay we have had, within the last few years, a succession of civil and foreign contentions. Ac cording to despatches received at Montevideo from Paraguayan sources the defeat at Curupaity has caused complete disunion among the leaders of the Triple Alliance. General MITRE has evacuated Curuzu, and left with the rest of the army for Tuguty, having refused to avail himself of the Bra zilian transports offered for the conveyance of his troops. No fresh enterprise has been attempted by the Brazilian fleet, which remains stationed at Curuzu, and the whole conduct of the war seems to be uncertain and unsatisfactory. Last Thursday Sir JOHN PAKINGTON had to per form a sad but interesting ceremony. The unveil ing of the statue of Sir JOHN FRANKLIN, is Carlton Gardens, was one of those impressive events that can but seldom occur, and much as there is to attract notice in the tributes thus paid to departed worthies, we may be allowed to say that a peculiar regard attached itself to this affair. Perhaps there has been nothing in our generation more painfully ex citing, or more truly affecting than the incidents which attended the last course of Sir J. FRANKLIN and his devoted followers. It is right and fit ting that a memorial should be raised to him, in some noteable spot in the metropolis of that country he served in life and honoured in death. For this time all disputants are justly well agreed that it is idle to sacrifice human life and waste time and money in endeavouring to do too much, and penetrate into regions which are so unavailable for habitation, and even for a brief period of sojourn. This matter does not affect the feelings in which we hold the memory of the departed hero of the Arctic Seas. We have now to do with his worth and his honesty. He set an example to his country men that they may well profit by fol lowing in every pursuit in which they are engaged. The steadfast endurance, the calm resolve, and the unflinching spirit which he displayed, were indeed worthy of a better cause, and of a more successful issue. However we know that it is not always the most deserving who reap the fairest treasures; and who can say that even as it is the sufferings of FRANKLIN and his crew have been for nothing ? In a secondary point of view they have been the means of preventing others from following their fatal foot-steps ; but in the first and most important sense of the matter, they have displayed what fortitude can do and what per severance can accomplish. So long as the name of England endures, due respect and reverence will be paid by Englishmen of every class to those gallant men who have braved the terrors of those dreary regions to do good service to the cause of science, and to improve our knowledge of geo graphical discovery. It has often been a matter of just reproach to us of this country that we do not pay sufficient honour to the great men who serve us well and faithfully. Too much fuss is made about those who do but little, comparatively speaking, and those who are worthy of all attention. This cannot be said in the case of FRANKLIN, and we hold it as a matter of special rejoicing that it should be so. No pains were spared, and no money begrudged that was necessary for the purpose of making search for him, or at least to discover his remains ; and it is a melancholy sort of satisfaction that the worst is known, and that his friends are no longer in doubt to feel the hope that keeps alive de spair. As we turn from this memorial to his honour in the centre of the life and gaiety of the haunts of civilisation we are not unmindful of the fact that he whom it seeks to honour lies far away on a bleak and desolate coast, and that no friends or relatives can visit their graves ; but they are perhaps better remembered than those who are buried in the precincts of home. Amid the bustling events of every-day existence they will still be ever and anon recalled to our notice by a passing mention of their names. Even while we lament their sad fates we shall reflect that their courage and constancy were beyond all praise, and England will not forget that her dead slumber on the ice-bound shores, and that while we pay homage to the memory of FRANKLIN in England the " polar seas are keeping his deathless monument." The marriage of the Master of Lovat, eldest son of Lord Lovat, to Alice Mary, the daughter of Mr. Thos. `Veld-Blundell, of Ince-Blundell, Lancashire, took place on Wednesday. The ceremony was solemnised according to the rites or the Roman Catholic Church in a small chapel attached to Ince Blundell. The bride was attended to the altar by eight bridesmaids—the Misses Teresa, Edith, and Freyda Weld-Blundell, sisters of the bride, the Hon. Miss Maxwell, the Hon. Miss Fraser, the Hon.

The Moniteur ill its bulletin says:—" M. von der Heydt, Minister of Finance, has presented to the Prussian Chambers a very satisfactory Budget rela tive to the financial condition of Prussia. In spite of the war the receipts will cover the expenses, and therefore the Government intends to reduce the public debt to the amount of $5,300,000." The health of the Count de Bismark is not re established, but he is much better, and it is expected that he will be able to return to Berlin in the course of next week and resume the direction_of political affairs. A private telegraphic despatch from Undine an nounces that the King of Italy had arrived in that town, and had been received with general enthu siasm. His Majesty reviewed the troops and the National Guard, and was greeted with cordial cheers. The Official Gazette of Florence publishes a de cree of amnesty in favour of the Venetian soldiers who were sentenced to various punishments for desertion previous to the 6th of May last. An official account given in a St. Petersburg paper of the marriage of the Princess Dagmar with the " orthodox Grand Duke Alexandra Alexandro vitch and the orthodox Grand Duchess Marie Feo dorowna" states that in the evening there was a ball at the Winter Palace. The only dance was a Polonaise, and the fete was terminated at 10 o'clock. Their Majesties then left in a gala carriage with the newly wedded pair, and proceeded to the Anit chkof Palace. The streets were brilliantly illumi nated, and the crowd received the party with loud and joyous acclamations. The Grand Duke and Duchess will reside for the present at the Anitchkof Palace. The following is from the Journal des Debats, and and is confirmatory of the news I extracted from a Hungarian paper yesterday :—" The attitude of Hungary appears to give great uneasiness to the Austrian Government, which expresses its feelings in an article in the Vienna Gazette. That paper abjures the Hungarian Diet to respond to the wishes and expectations of the advocates of an equitable compromise, instead of succumbing to the influence of the Radical party. The official paper admits that Hungary had the right to be discontented with the Constitution of February, and the Government was disposed to give to Hungary every legitimate satisfaction,' but that country ought not to re quire sacrifices incompatible with the unity of the Monarchy. The Gazette then tells the Hungarian people that they can only preserve their national independence by remaining united with Austria, and that the moderate party will assist them be cause it knows the good intentions of the Austrian Government. The language of a journal (adds the Journal des Debats) which receives its inspirations from the Austrian Cabinet, makes it evident that at Vienna there is no attempt to conceal the gravity of the struggle which cannot fail to take place at the meeting of the Diet." A letter in the Italia of Naples, dated November 10, says : " We have received serious news from Palermo. It appears that important documents have been discovered relative to a dangerous plot, and that its ramifications extend to Naples. Fresh arrests have been made there and at the other places. The authorities are actively engaged in investigations respecting this dangerous plot." The Constitutionnel says that public opinion at Vienna is much excited in regard to the political plans of M. Beust, the new Minister of Foreign Affairs. There had been reports that his intention was to establish a new group of Austrian countries. This report was contradicted ; but it seems certain that M. Beust is directing his earnest attention to the circumstances under which the future relations between Austria and Italy are to be established. M. Beust has had frequent interviews, in reference to this most important point, with Baron de Kubeck, who, it is believed, will be the future Re presentative of Austria at Florence. Accounts have been received in Paris of the death of Duke Antonio Litta, Viscount Aresa, at Naples, aged 47. The Duke ever took an active pa r t i n ameliorating the condition of the working classes, and in promoting the advance of literature, art, and science. He will be much regretted in Italy. This has been a regular winter day. There was a very cold wind in the morning, and about one o'clock in the afternoon I saw a few flakes of snow falling upon the trees in the Tuileries gardens. At three the rain began, and the rain continued at post hour. Reaumur's thermometer within doors marked " temperate ;" but if it be allowed to contradict such a great authority, I will say that it was very cold without. L A TEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) SUPPRESSION OF THE CANDIAN INSURRECTION. MALTA, Nov. 16. Her Majesty's ironclad Resistance arrived here to-day from Canea, having left that place on Tues day last. The Resistance reports that no fighting had taken place within 40 miles of Canea during the past fortnight.

COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) OTTAWAY V. OTTAWAY. This was a petition presented by the wife for dissolution of marriage on the ground of cruelty and adultery. Mrs. Eliza Ottaway, the petitioner in the cause, said— After her marriage in 1855 she resided at various places, the last of which was 23, Stock Orchard Villas, Holloway. Her husband never treated her well ; they were always quarrelling in consequence of his dissolute habits and his remaining from home for two or three days. Ile had fre quently committed acts of violence, and struck her on various parts of the body, he was not at all particular where. On one occasion she was in the pantry in the kitchen, at Stock Orchard Villas, when, in consequence of something not being done to his liking, he took up the shovel and struck her on the head with it. On one occasion she (witness) came home with her husband in a cab, about 9 o'clock in the morning. Words arose, which ended in a quarrel, during which he struck her a violent blow in the face, which knocked her down and rendered her quite senseless. He also struck her with a stick which he bad in his hand. On another occasion they were_together in the breakfast parlour, when her husband threw the poker at her because she directed breakfast to be served when he objected. Her husband had frequently given her black eyes, and her mouth had been so much cut about that she suffered the greatest pain. Her husband introduced a person named Annie Brenchley to her as his cousin. She afterwards discovered that that was not the fact ; and on telling her husband that she had discovered whom the person was, and also that she had learned that he had seduced her, he did not deny it, but on contrary, said it was the fact. From that time she had not cohabited with the respondent. Susan Cramp said she formerly was in the service of Mr. and Mrs. Otway. He treated his wife very cruelly during the 12 months she lived with them. She saw the quarrel that took place in the breakfast parlour ; after Mr. Ottway threw the poker at his wife he struck her with so much violence that she became insensible. She recollected Mr. and Mrs. Ottway coming home one morning in a cab ; they quarrelled on that occasion, and eventually ho knocked her down. The quarrel arose through Miss Brenchley, who frequently visited the house with Mr, Ottway. She frequently came by herself, and she believed her to be Mr. Ottway's cousin. She had taken a letter by direction of Mr. Ottway to a Miss Hinds, who, she afterwards found out, was the person who passed as Miss Brenchley. She told Mrs. Ottaway of the matter, and quarrels arose in consequence. She knew a Mrs. Masters; she had seen her at Mr. Otte way's house. Mrs. Masters said she was a single woman, and let out lodgings in a house she formerly occupied in St. James's road, Upper Holloway. A gentleman named Smith came and took a room in her house. He used to have Miss Hinds to breakfast with him, and represented himself as a single man. On one occasion she found a lady's night dress in his bedroom. The witness here detailed other matters to bear out the allegations in the petition. Decree nisi with costs. SHOREDITCH COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. Dasent.) THE FRIENDS OF LABOUR LOAN SOCIETY V. PERRY AND MARTIN. This was an action against two sureties to recover the balance of a loan, which had been left unpaid by the borrower. Mr. Clinkscales, the secretary to the society, said that defendants had been surety for a borrower, who was now a defaulter. Mr. G. 0. Nash asked how long it was since the loan was granted ? and the witness said between three and four years. He had not neglected to make applications to the borrower, who, the witness believed, had now gone abroad. Mr. Nash then urged that his clients ought not to be called upon to pay this money. His Honour would remem ber that the loan was granted some time ago, and the 9th rule of the society said that the instalments were to be paid weekly. Now it could not be denied that the society had allowed the borrower to become a defaulter, and that it had not enforced the payment at a time when the borrower was in a position to meet the bill, and in addition to this it had not given the sureties timely notice of the default. His Honour said that the sureties had signed the bill with their eyes open, and must be bound by its terms. It was perfectly clear that the sureties were bound to pay in the event of there being default, and the verdict in this case would be for the plaintiffs. Mr. Nash remarked that the borrower had some stock in the society, and Mr. Clinkscales said that would be cheerfully deducted from the amount due. The verdict then passed for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--Th's Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A BEGGAR BY COMPULSION.—John Casey, a boy, was charged before Mr. Knox with begging. Thomas Evans, 113 C, proved seeing the yesterday evening bogging in the Regent Circus, and, having seen him receive money from different persons, he took him into eustody. The boy on Tuesday last having been in the House of Detention for three weeks, under remand on the charge of begging, was discharged at that court. (Mr. Tyrwhitt discharged the boy, there being no Roman Catho lic place to send him to.) The boy said he was not begging at all. In answer to Mr. Knox, the boy said he was a Roman Catholic. He had got friends, but did not know where they were, neither did he know where his father, who had been a soldier, was. Inspector Harrison said that when the boy was dis charged by the magistrate on the last occasion, he made the remark that he was going to do the same thing again. Mr. Knox observed that it was a case for the Roman Catholic Reformatory at Mount St. Bernard, Leicestershire. Welsh, the office-keeper, said the boy had been at the Roman Catholic Industrial School, Walthamton, for three years, and he has expressed a strong wish to go to sea, but there were no means of sending him. Mr. Knox remarked that the ship Cornwall was entirely for Protestants. Welsh said that was the case. Mr. Knox said that he would take a few days to consider what could be done with the boy and remanded him., Tan L ar ki . HER MAJESTY, &c• WINDSOR CASTLE, Friday. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Christian , drove out yesterday afternoon, and her Majesty , with Princess Beatrice, went out in the grounds this morning. The Princess of Wales and Princess Christian went out driving. Princess Louise rode in the Home-park. The llon. Lady Biddulph had the honour of din ing with the Queen and the Royal family yesterday Mr. G. D. Engleheart has arrived at the Castle. The Chrysanthemums in the Temple Gardens. The splendid show of chrysanthemums, which gr. Broome, the head gardener to the Hon. Society of the Inner Temple, annually provides for the grati fication of the lovers of flowers, is this year of the greatest excellence. This fine collection, which embraces every known variety of this now favourite though once neglected flower, is now in full beauty of bloom, and, notwithstanding the unfavourabl e weather that prevailed during the months of August and September, they are as perfect in shape an d pure in colour as could well be desired. Such 3 result could only have been produced by the most incessant care and attention on the part of Mr. Broome, and the universal praise and commendation that the show elicits from every spectator mus t to him be the source of pride and gratification . The great favourites, Beverley and Vesta, flower° of the purest white, come out beautifully, so also does the deep rich crimson Progne. Hercules is another splendid variety, remarkable alike for both size and colour, whilst Jardin des Plantes, the most brilliant amongst the great variety of yellows, is more than ordinarily remarkable for its deep golden hue . Oliver Cromwell is a splendid flower, and Gem we ll sustains its name. Prince Alfred, a fine lilac, i° worthy of special commendation ; indeed, there is not a single flower in this vast collection but that bears the impress of the greatest attention. Nes t to fine flowers, taste in their array is absolutely necessary to produce a good display ; and her e, again, we have to compliment Mr. Broome, for a fine r admixture of colour has certainly never been effected. The rich crimsons, the pure white, the delicate pink , lilacs, and blushes, the brilliant yellows, and deep rose, all are so arranged that a perfect harmony of colour is obtained which perfectly enchants the eye. The show has already been visited by some thou' sands of persons, and for the next fortnight the chrysanthemums of the Temple-gardens will be th e theme of praise and admiration from the myriads of persons who will flock thither to witness the brilliant display of one of Flora's choicest gifts. RECENT WILLS AND BEQUESTS. (From the Illustrated London News.)

The per sonalty was sworn under £20,000. The will is brief, and bears date in August last. Mr. Bomford died Oct. 10, 1866, at his residence, Ferrans, after a short illness, in the seventy-second year of his age.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT ROCHDALE AND Loss OF LlFE.—Yesterday morning one of the most destruc tive fires that has occurred for many years in Rochdale broke out in the largo flannel manufactory of Mr. John Kershaw, in Mount Pleasant, and it entirely gutted the building, and several houses surrounding it were partially knocked down, and damaged considerably. An old man was buried in the ruins of one of the houses and killed. Mr. Kershaw is one of the largest fancy flannel manufac turers in this part of the country, and we understand he is insured, but not to the full amount. Three hundred work people were employed at this mill, and of course they will be thrown out of employment. State of Trade. ItAxenEsTmt, Nov. 16.—The market has been depressed all the week, and prices still continue slowly to decline. In yarns very little business has been done, and prices are in buyers' favour. Some considerable offers, however, which have been made, probably to test the market, were declined as too low for acceptance. In cloth prices aro also slightly lower. Buyers have made offers at 18d. per lb. for shirtings, which have been declined, but still the mar ket has gone perceptibly lower all the week. There has been a little more inquiry to-day, but it has not resulted in business. No doubt a good deal of it has been for the pur pose merely of testing values. The market is generally slat, and very unsatisfacto) yto manufacturers, whose stocks are accumulating. Prices have declined perhaps about id. per lb. this week in skirtings, rather less on fine printers, but 2d. to 3d. on some of the lighter fabrics. NOTTINGHAM, 16th.—There was a moderate attendance on 'Change to-day. For lace yarns the demand was slow, and the business done was at prices with a drooping ten dency. The demand for hosiery yarns was steady, but prices were quoted is. per bundle lower than on this day week. There was no improvement in the inquiry for brown nets, and no material change occurred in the currencies. In silks tl ere was scarcely anything passing, prices being about the sa no. THAMES. SAILORS AND THEIR MONEY—A SUSPICIOUS CASE.-John Donaldson, a Swede, aged 36, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing four £5 Bank of England notes and £7 in gold, the moneys of John Holm, a Norwe gian, at a boarding-house in Ratcliff-highway. The prosecutor and the prisoner were seamen, and be longed to an English ship which arrived in the port of London on Monday last. They wero paid off at a shipping office on Wednesday last, and both men were using the same house, and slept in one room. On Wednesday afternoon, on leaving the pay table, they went home toge ther, and Holm was about to deposit four £5-notes and seven sovereigns in his chest, when Donaldson said he would lose it if he did so, and advised him to place it between the bed and mattress. Holm acted on this advice, put his hard-earned wages under the bed in the presence of the prisoner only, and went out the same night on the " spree" with £1 10s. in his pocket. He returned on the following morning at half-past seven. The prisoner was then asleep in bed. Holm aroused him and looked for his money. It was gone. He complained to the prisoner of his loss, and began to make a noise. The prisoner said " You fool, hold your tongue and make no row, your money will come back." The prisoner then left the house and was absent five hours. The unfortunate Swede could gain no tidings of his hard earned money, and made known his loss to the police Yesterday the prisoner was arrested by Donald M'Kay, 275 K, and he gave up to the officer about £2O in gold, silver, and copper, and said it was his own. The prisoner did receive £29 at the shipping office on Wednesday for wages, and it did not appear that he had expended more than £9 of it. It was mentioned as a matter of suspicion against him that his own money, also placed under the bed, remained untouched, and that he was the only person who saw Holm deposit his money between the bed and mattress ; on the other hand, it was proved other men used the same room. Mr. Partridge said this was only a case of suspicion against the prisoner. Others might have taken the money. It was a great pity that sailors coming to the port of Lon don did not avail themselves of those excellent institutions, the Sailors' Homes in Well-street and East India-road, where their money was taken care of for them and interest allowed. He must discharge the prisoner, and Holm would lose his hard-earned wages. THE NEW OPERA.—Verdi's new opera, " Don Carlos," continues to be in active preparation, and will be produced in the course of the next month. The composer rests content with M. Morere, from Brussels, for his hero, although at on© time he longed to exchange the new tenor, who has not yet made his dibut, for Capoul. The last mentioned artist is so popular hero that Gounod would not give his forthcoming opera, " Romeo and Juliet," without Capoul, but the latter was engaged at the Opera Comique, with a fine of 40,000 f. if he broke his engagement. Chou dens, Gounod's publisher, has cut the Gordian knot by ten dering to MM. Leuven and Bitt, the lessees of the Opera Comique, the fine in full, but they have declined to re ceive this sum and will bring an action against Capoul and Choudens for damages beyond the £1,620 forfeit, the tenor having signed with the publisher for .£BO per month to sing for six years at any theatre he pleased in the world. The Tribunals will have to decide, therefore, whether Capoul is to sing at the Lyrique as Romeo, or whether he will be forced to return to the Opera Comique to his ori ginal engagement. He has a nice voice, but not much style. tHe is very good-looking and an efficient actor, and is:much admired by the ladies here—which will go a long way for his acceptance as a Romeo.—Paris Corres pondent of the " Queen."
