The average for the past ten years has been £ 1 3,445,191, the largest remittances being in 1864, when they amounted to £24,318,189, and the smal lest in 1867, when they were only £3,659,154.

LOST IN LONDON.—Robert Hamilton, in the garb of an engineer, but covered with mud, was charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself. Geoffrey Chandler, 315 B, proved that at two o'clock this morning he found the prisoner and a little girl about six years old (which prisoner now held by the haud), in a doorway in York-street, Westminster. Prisoner was incapable of taking care of himself, and said he had no home to go to and no money, and witnes took him to the station and the little girl to the workhouse. In answer to the magistrate, prisoner said he was a native of Scotland, and had been discharged re cently from the Government works at Portsmouth ; be came to London with his wife and child to loOk for work at his trade as an engine -fitter, and last night on the Surrey side of the water he lost his wife, and then met two friends, who gave hiui drink. He was trying to protect his child from the cold when the constable came up. He had not the slightest idea where his wife was. Mr. Arnold discharged him on his undertaking to be of good behaviour. THAMES. SCANDALOUS DESERTION OF A , Wrkl. Lovett, a carpenter, aged 42 years, was brought before Mr. Lushington, charged with running away, and leaving his wife and six children charge- able io the Poplar Union. Mr. W. H. Courtenay, prosecuting officer to the Union, said this was a pros-2cntion instituted by the Board of Guardians, who were determined to search out and bring to justice every runaway man and woman who deserted their families. Ile called evi dence to show that on the Ist of June last the prisoner, his wife, and six children applied to Mr. Cambridge, relieving officer, for relief, which was given, and the prisoner also received a ticket to go before the Board of Guardians. Mr. James Spratley, another relieving officer, gave the prisoner, his wife, and family, relief on the 2nd of June. On the 24th of November the prisoner's wife and six children became chargeable to the Poplar Union, and had since been main tained at the expense of the ratepayers. The prisoner was wrested by Walton, an officer of the court, yesterday. The prisoner had not been to the workhouse, or inquired after his children since November. The prisoner, in defence, said he believed all the children were his, but he had never been married to their mother. She was not his wife, and be was not legally bound to maintain her and his children. He had endured the greatest privations and misery before he applied for relief. His clothes were threadbare and so ragged that no workshop would admit him. When he applied for relief in June he was sent to the stoneyard. In November he was on the tramp, and walked all the way to Tunbridge Wells in search of work. Mr. Spratley —ln June the prisoner and the woman, who he says is the mother of his children, were ordered relief as man and wife. He said she was his wife. Mr. Lushington should treat the woman the pri soner called his wife as one. The scandalous aban donment of the woman and six children must be punished. He adjudged the prisoner to be a rogue and vagabond, and sentenced him to six weeks' im prisonment and hard. labour. The Prisoner —I am what, what do you call me? Mr. Lushington-4 adjUdge you to be a rogue and vagabond. ATILBOLO UGH : STREET. FORGERY AND ROBBERY.—Stephen Jones, Clerk in the employ of Mr. Isaac L. Pulvermacher, in ventor and patentee of galvanic chains, bands, and belts, 200, Regent-street, charged with forging the name of Mr. Pulvermacher to some Post-office orders, and also with stealing some galvanic appara tus, was again brought Mors Mr. Tyrwhitt. Mr. Lewis, sen., appeared for the prosecution. It may be remembered that the prisoner set up in business on his own account, supplying custo mers with goods stolen from Mr. Pulvertnacher— the persons being under the impression that they were trading with Mr. Pulvermacher, whose name the prisoner made use of, and whose name he also forged to some Post-office orders. Mr. Lewis said as there was great difficulty in getting persons who sent Post-office orders to come from Ireland and Scntlaud, and the prisoner, he understood, was willing to plead guilty to the lar ceny, he should ask the magistrate to deal with the case. 11:_he prisoner pleaded guilty to stealing some ga yank chaiu bands. .111 r. Tyrwhitt raid it was a fortunate thing for the prisoner that the prosecutor was not vindictive, but, at the same time, it was impossible that such a case could be dealt with leniently. The prisoner would be committed for six months, with hard labour. PRICE OF GOLD.

The arrest of Rochefort is the great question of the day, and has for the time being thrown all other interests Into the shade. The details of the arrest and of the subsequent disturbanees at Belleville you are already acquainted with. As might be supposed, the event has :rented some excitement in the Chamber, where, however. 51. 011ivier succeeded in extricating himself from his diffi culties with his usual facility and composure. In yester day's sitting the debate on M. Cremieux's interpellation was very animated: The rumour was current that Roche- I fort was to be arrested at the end of the sitting, and M. THE COLLIEILS' STRIKE AT BOLTON.—Another meeting was held at Bolton at noon on Tues day, when a deputation was appointed to wait upot) the employers. Mr. Herbert Fletcher, of the Ladyshore Collieries, has conceded the full advance asked by the men, namely, one shilling per load and one penny per yard on straight. At the extensive pits of Messrs. Knowles, at Ferryside, Foggs Hall Lane, and top pit, the men are all at work, and there is at Ferrysido a very heavy stock of coal. At'Darcy Lever the Coal Company have all their men out. Mr. P. .T: Smith addressed a very largo open-air meeting on Tuesday at Waterford, and was heard with much attention. Ms address is out. It says he comes not as an untried stranger and as the advocate of the national rights of our common country. He claims sup port as the champion of self-government. He says his views upon the land question, that of education, and the political prisoners, are well known. He concluded thus : Are these principles yours ? If they be, the contest is vir tually decided; if they be not, then cross the Channel to that country whence so many plague 3 have come upon this land, and import them a fitting presentatiw for a Gotstituency of slaves." THE ORIGIN OF "G OD SAVE TIM QUEEN. " Cremeux questioned the Goliertunent as to 'their inten tions with respect to the judgment pronounced against a leputy. M. 011ivier, in expressing his readiness to discussthe interpellation, declared he should - not wait for that to do his luty. M. Cremieut, after a little interruption, proceeded to ask the Minister what he thotight was his ditty. The question was one of great irepertanCe. Was . a deputy to remain six months absent from the Chamber without power to fulfil his -dUties, and was the First Circumscription ,of Paris to remain six months without a representative? 4. ~deputy, said M. Crknieux, did not represent the special interests of his constituents alone, but the general interests of France. If one deputy might be removed from his place, two, ten, might be so removed. In fact, if the principle were pushed further, all troublesome deputies might' be got rid of. The majority might thus rid themselves of a member of the minority who dis pleased them, and special precautions had been taken to avoid this. The 16th article of the electoral law declares that bodily constraint may not be exer cised against a deputy during the session, nor during the six weeks that precede, and that follow it. Even in cases of criminal offences it was pro vided that no deputy should be prosecuted or arrested without the authority of the chamber. The matter they were discussing was a criminal matter, and yet what Was it? An offence of the press. M. Oral - deux reminded the Ministry that although they had obtained permission for the prosecution, they hal not for the arrezt. Yet the law especially mentioned both. On the 19. h February, 1813, 31. Cr6mieux had,. he said, pre sented to the Chamber the petition- for . reform from the Garde Nationale. It wa3 refused.. Five days :titer the National Guard ebt.iined what it wanted. :Baron do Benoist, interrupting : " What it did not pant !") After referring to other instances of 18-18' .extolling the moderation of the Republicans, M . Or,:quieux was politely reminded by the Pre sident that he was talking abOut the Revolu tion of February, nut about M. Rochefort. ,M. Cremieux renewed • his declaration that the arrest should not be attempted without a second authorisation from the Chamber. If th,e . first permission had aever been asked. what difficulties might have The English national anthem of God Save the Queen— . which was first publicly heard in 1745, after the defeat of Prince Charles on the fatal field of Culloden—was originally a Jacobite song, which it was dangerous to sing within hearing of the authorities. When the Jacobites spoke or sang of "the king" they meant "the king over the water," and the word ' s still sung, "Berth him victorious," imply clearly that the king intended was not the one who was already in England, but the one far away, to whom the. singers were loyal in his evil fortunes. A great deal of controversy has arisen as to the author ship alike of the Words and music; but no satisfactory clue has been discovered for the elucidation of either mystery. If a prize had been offered for a national anthem, expressive of patriotic as well as dynastic loyalty, no competent critics would have awarded it to the author of the words, whomsoever he may have been. Yet this song, which grew rather than was made, is the richest literary jewel in the British crown, and may fairly claim to have been of more value to the House of Hanover than any s tanding army. God wave the King, as originally sung at - Drury Lane Theatre, shortly after the news arrived in London that the last hopes of the young Pretender had been crushed at Culloden, consisted of nine stanzas, or six in addition to the three which are now familiar to all of us. These three arc the genuine Jacobite song, withoUt the altera tion of a word. The remaining six were strictly Hanoverian and N,Viii;gish, and have long since gone to the limbo that ' is reserved for all literary rubbish. It was a fortunate ' accident, if it were not a profound piece of policy, by which the present royal house took possession of the song of their enemies, and turned to their own glory that which • was intended for their shame.—Dickenis " Alt the Year . Round." At the last meeting of the Special Commissioners under the Public Schools Act, statutes for determining and establishing the constitution of the new governing bodies of the spools of Hai row, Shrewsbury, Winchester, and Charterhouse were sealed. NW ROUSE OF COMMONS—THIS DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. NEW WRITS. New writs were ordered to issue for Southwark and Londonderry City, in the room of Mr. Liyard and Mr. Sergeant Dowse. POOR RELIEF. Mr. BREWER, gave n3tice of hip intention to move for leave to biiog in a bill to place the vagrant population applying for relief and food under the regulations of the police. TILE WORKING CLASS. Mr.:CORRANCE gave no ice of his intention to Call the attention of the House to the abwnce of any measure for the gold of the working cla-s in her Majesty's Speech, a class who had been mainly instrumental in placing the present Government in power. HABITUAL DRUNKARDS, Mr. DAVENPOR I! gave notice of his intention ,o move for leave to bring in a bill to dual with iabitual drunkards. The House then adjourned. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day). ROLLS' COURT. THE LONDON AND HAMBURG BANK. The Master of the Bolls delivered judgment to day in this case. The question at issue was whether a gentleman named Henry was entitled to claim against the bank for a sum of £13,343 paid for shares. There was no dispute as to the amount claimed. Mr. Henry was instructed by the direc tors to purchase a " round number" of shares, a portion for themselves and the remainder for the shareholders. By the term " round Lumber," he understood the directors to mean a large or consi derable number, the amount to be left to the discre tion of Mr. Henry. Accordingly Mr. Henry bought 175 shares, 60 of which were allotted to the direc tors, and the remainder were transferred to the credit of some of the shareholders. Mr. Henry was paid by the directors for these shares, and his ac count in the bank was credited with the amount of the whole of the shares, which he had paid for out of his own pocket. The shareholders contended that they were not liable for the shares transferred to them, on the ground that the act of the directors was ultra vireß,and the companywere not bound byit. The Master of the Rolls said that if the shareholders felt themselves aggrieved, their remedy was against the directors ; but they could not repudiate the claim of Mr. Henry. Mr. henry was not called on to construe the powers vested in the directors by the Act of incorporation, and his claim must be allowed with interests and costs. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. 3IR. VINING'S BANKRUPTCY. In the new Court this morning the Chief Judge gave his decision in a matter arising out of the bankruptcy of Mr. J. G. Vining, who was re cently lessee of the Princess's Theatre. The ques tion at issue was as to the title of the bankrupt's father to certain property which the assignees under the adjudication claimed as part of the estate. The chief question raised was as to the " apparent possession" of the goods. his lordship said no doubt the father advanced money to his son ; but it mattered not whether the bill of sale had been duly registered ; the property had never been re moved from the house of the bankrupt; and, in his opinion, the assignees were entitled to the chattels comprised in the bill of sale ; the costs of the assig nees to be allowed.
