i AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. MONEY IIARKET TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is no change to report in the General Dis count Market ; few first class bills are on offer, and brokers and others have a redundancy of capital unemployed. The rates current are 11 to 1 per cent. At the bullion office of the Bank of England yesterday there was a withdrawal of 40,000 sove reigns. The silver market is unaltered. The Suffolk has arrived from Melbourne with gold to the amount of £285,000. A meeting of the Spanish Passive Bondholders has been held, and resolutions proposed to address the Stock Exchange Committee and the various Bourses of the continent, requesting them not to allow Spanish Stocks to be dealt in or quoted until Borne satisfactory arrangement has been carried into effect. A meeting has been announced to take place to morrow of the; Committee of Certificate-holders, to consider the measures to be taken in consequence of the refusal of the trustees to hand over the books and counterfoils at the London and County Bank. At the first ordinary general meeting [of the National B an k o f I n di a the report of the directors stated that it was found impracticable to carry out the arrangement with the Scinde, Punjaub, and Delhi Bank, and the realised capital had been re turned to the shareholders ; the National Bank of India had received their commission of £3,875, and the agreement had been sancelled. It was thought desirable to call a meeting of the National Bank at Calcutta, and resolutions were carried to the effect, that the National Bank of India under the Indian Company's Act should be wound up, and the busi ness transferred to the English Company from the 80th Juno last. The directors of the Indian In stitution have declared a dividend at the rate of 6 per oent., and a bonus of 1 per cent., being equal to 8 per cent, per annum. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain steady at 25 27, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 22 23. Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days has remained very quiet. Only moderate transactions have been re ported in sugar, an d in some instances at slightly lower rates. Superior descriptions of coffee have been at steady rates, while the dealings in tea have been deferred until to-day ; a considerable quantity will be offered for public sale, including some of the new season's crop. Rice has been in fair request, while a fair business has been done in tallow, at about previous rates. Two o'CLocit. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Rentes were 69f. 12c. Very flat. Several circumstances conduce to the heaviness of the Stock Exchange Markets. The threatened Garibaldian expedition, Abyssinian difficulty, and the heaviness of the Paris Bourse tend to weaken the market for Consols, they are now quoted 94f,- for transfer and the account. The decline there fore is per cent. in two days, and it is almost un necessary to observe that Count Bismark's circular and depression in the Paris Bourse, and, in fact, the heaviness of all the Continental Bourses checks enterprise here in almost every direction. The New Threes are 92-3- 4 ; Reduced Annuities 924 8 ; E xchequer Bills, 20s. to 30s. prem. for March ; India Stock, 200 ; ditto 5 per Cents., 113! ; ditto 4 per Cents., 98 ; Enfaced ditto, 88} ; ditto 5 per Cents., 104* ; and ditto 5} per Cents., 1101. Foreign Stocks continue firm, with the exception , s ef Turkish 5 per Cents., which have declined I, to 32 ; Italian have advanced 8, to 48} ; Greek }, to 13} 14 ; and Mexican to MI ; Spanish Passive are 18 168 and the Certificates higher, at American Securities are in more favour. Eric Sh ares have ad vance d to 4li 42}; and United States 5-20 Bonds k, to 73 -I- ; and Illinois continue firm at 77 , A very moderate am ount of business has been tr ansacted in the Railway Market to-day, and prices are a shade firmer. London, Chatham, and Dover, and North Western have each improved i ; Cale donian and North Eastern (Berwick), each I-, and Great Eastern, ; while Metropolitan and South Ea stern have each declined 4, and Lancashire and Yorkshire, 1. The Foreign and Colonial lines show little variation. Great Luxembourg are dealt in at 108 ; i lt ecife and S an F ranc i sc o, a t 10 ; San Paulo, at 16 1 4 ; Groat Western of Canada had improved to 1 4 16 ; and Bombay and Baroda, to 103. Bank shares remain very inactive. London and County have receded to 54i; London Joint Stock improved to 37-1 ; and Union of London to 373. In the Miscellaneous Market there has been little variation. Madras Irrigation Bonds have advanced t ' ° . „ 10 11 ; Atlantic Telegraph 8 per Cents. declined to 7O ; and Viceroy of Egypt's Mortgage Loan remains steady at 72i 73. MINING MARKET.

A paragraph copied from the Law Times has been going the round of the press, suggesting that the young man named James Longhurst recently executed for the murder of a little girl at Shere, in Surrey, last year, was innocent, and that in all likelihood Frederick Baker, now lying in Win chester Gacl, charged with the late murder at Alton, is the real culprit. On examination this appears to be a mere random supposition based upon a very imperfect knowledge of the facts con nected with the murder at Shere. It is stated by the writer that the whole of the evidence upon which Longhurst was executed was slight, and that his identity was by no means satisfactorily established. No such belief exists in the locality which was the scene of the murder. When the little girl Jane Sex was raised from the ground by a man named Edsar, the first attracted to the spot by her cries, she pointed to Longhurst, who was running away, as the " boy" who had attacked her. A short time afterwards she again identified him in the surgery of Mr. Capron, at Shere, and she identified him for the third time when her dying deposition was taken at the Royal Surrey County Hospital. But the facts which tended to criminate Longhurst did not rest wholly upon identification. When apprehended there was blood upon his hands, and also upon a clasp knife found in his possession. He lay in gaol some months previous to taking his trial, yet in all that time he never once attempted to deny the crime with which he was charged, but made several remarks which might be interpreted as almost tacit confessions. When told that his victim was dead he asked what would be done to him, and upon being asked, in turn, if he knew what was the usual punishment for murder, he said he did, and that it was hanging. Subsequently he told a constable who had charge of him that he did not think that punish ment would be his, because the little girl had lived so long after the injuries. There can be no doubt as to his guilt, and none as to his having been a per fectly accountable being, although of a low order of intelligence. On the other hand, nothing but the accidental similarity of the Alton and the Shere murders can be found to suggest that Baker was the murderer in both cases, and this unjustifiable supposition may be at once dismissed by the uno quivocal testimony of numerous persons that on the day of the Shere murder the present wretched inmate of Winchester gaol was miles away from the spot.

CONSERVATISM AT COVENTRY.—The Conserva tives of Coventry and the neighbourhood intend to dine to gether at the Corn Exchange, in that city, on Thursday, Oct. 24, to celebrate the passing of the Reform Bill, and to express their approval of the domestic and foreign policy of Lord Derby's Government. The chair will be taken by the Right Hon. C. B. Adderley, M.P.—Coventry Standard. COCKROACHES Y. HEDGEHOGS.—I have tried hedgehogs to kill beetles; they don't act. A hedgehog cannot possibly hold above a pint of beetles at a time, and in my kitchen there aro gallons of them. I once tried the hedgehog plan at the Deanery, Westminster. The first night after his arrival the Abbey watchman was frightened out of his wits—it was the hedgehog. The next nigh; fast asleep, I felt a cold nose on my face, and then a prickly thing trying to get into the bed—it was the hedgehog. The next night the servants came trembling to say there was a burglar in the dining room, rattling tho plate —it was the hedgehog. The next night the cook put some soup away, and in the morning the soup was gone—the hedgehog was found coiled up asleep in the tureen. The next night nothing was heard of the hedgehog, and for weeks we could not tell whore he was gone; the cook was thankful, and th. crickets sang, 0, be joyful, while the blackbeetles had free run of the kitchen. " Years rolled on," as the novelists have it, and a skeleton was discovered in the flue, which had smoked the whole of the house out for weeks. The hedgehog again. Thank goodness, I have seen the last of that wretch, and never wish to have another of his kind on the premises. Unless, therefor e, my friends wish to run the chance of a hedgehog becoming the same pest to them as he was to me, they will never introduce them into their houses. Hedgehogs will only eat a certain number of beetles, and the betties having good spawning ground be. hind the kitchen range, breed much faster than the hedge hog can eat.—FRANK BUCKLAND, in Land and Water.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. OLD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Jacob Henry Cohen, picture-frame maker, was indicted for feloniously forging and uttering an order for the pay ment of ls. with intent to defraud. The evidence went to show that the prisoner was em ployed in the manufacture of picture frames, which, on completion, ho sold to the London Stereoscopic Com pany, Chcapsido. The circumstance which led to the prisoner's apprehension was, that early in the month of July a bill for the payment of the amount charged in the indictment was presented by him to the cashier of the company, and it appearing to bear the genuine initial, of ➢lr. Reed, the manager, it was paid. It was shortly afterwards discovered to be a forgery, and also that the goods charged for ha I not been supplied. Mr. Reed at once c:nnmunicated with Mr. Nuttage, ono of the principals of the establishment, wh ) directed that the p isoner should be given into custody and prosecuted. One of the witnesses named lleild swore that he had seen the prisoner making copies of Mr. Reed's and another witness named Bannister spoke to the conversation which took place at the Dolphin public-house, Milk-street, where the prisoner was taken into custody. The defence set up was a total denial of the forgery, and further, the counsel on behalf of the prisoner stated ho should call several witnesses to prove that the initials to the bill were not forgeries., that Reed had signed the bill himself, and that, therefore, the whole prosecution was a deep laid schema of Reed's to prevent the discovery of his own deficiencies. The witness was subjected to a cross-examination by Mr. Sleigh, who appeared for the prosecution. The following witnesses were then examined on the part of the prisoner:— _ _ . David Cohen said ha was the brother of the prisoner, and that he knew Mr. Reed. Ile spoke of being present when three maple frames and 12 others worn ordorod by Mr. Reed, and also that ho was present after that—one evening in a publichouso opposite the Ludgate Station in Bridge-street, where ho saw Reed sign the invoice for the sum of X 1 ls. On another occasion ho took a letter to Mr. Rood at the Stereoscopic Company, and after Mr. Reed had opened it ho saw him put his initials to the invoice which the lotter contained; he returned it to him, telling him to direct his brother to attend for payment on the following day. These two invoices form the ground of the present prosecution, the allegation of Mr. Reed being that nothing of the kind over took place. The cafe was proceeding when we went to press. THE FORGERIES ON THE BANK OF ENGLAND. Tho grand jury have returned seven true bills against William Henry Hodgson for forgeries on the Bank of England. THE MURDER IN THE KENT ROAD. The trial of Louis Bordier for the murder of Mary Ann Snow will take place to-morrow before Mr. Baron Martin. The prosecution will bo conducted by the Treasury, but as no counsel has yet been retained by the prisoner it appears to be the impression that ho will plead guilty. In such cases the Court inva riably impresses the prisoner with the awful con sequences of such a proceeding, and advises the full hearing of the evidence the prosecution intend to bring forward to prove the charge. In the event, however, of the prisoner persisting in his plea of guilty there is no power to provent him duing so. CON SU LiCAMERON AND THE EMPEUOR THIRD EDITION. THEODORE. SUN OFFICE, 7 O'CLOCK. Mr. Charles Beke in aletter to the Times says In the discussion of Consul Cameron's first de• SPORTING INT.ELLIGENCE—This Day tcntion in ju1y,1863, and the subsequent imprison ment of himself and the other Europeans, there appears to be a great confusion of times and places. As I am innocently a main cause of that grossly misrepresented officer's originally falling under the Emperor's displeasure, it is due to him and the Bri tish nation that I should set matters ri p •ml t by s the facts as they really occurred. Notwithstanding the repeated attempts to throw blame on Consul Cameron for proceeding into the interior of Abyssinia, it is now an acknowledged fact that he was accredited .to the Emperor Theo dore by Earl Russell's letter to that monarch of February 20, 1862, and that he went to his Coart in pursuance of express instructions. On his ar rival there iu October, 1862, be was most favour ably received, and in the beginning of November he left for the coast with the memorable letter to the Queen, the not replying to which on the part of her Majesty's Government was one of the causes, though anything but the only cause, of the Emperor's displeasure. Having been prevented from reaching Massowah, Consul Cameron forwarded the Emperor's letter to Aden by two Abyssinians, and he himself went into the frontier province of Bogos. In doing so he is alleged not merely to have acted contrary to instruc tions, but also to have incurred the displeasure of the Emperor. In both respects this is not the fact. The Christian inhabitants of Bogos had long been under the protection of the British Consul in Abys sinia, with the knowledge and approval of the Bri tish Government, and Consul Cameron, in follow ing in the footsteps of his predecessor, Consul Plowden, believed that he was acting according to orders. But since Plowden's death, in 1860, Egypt bad become a largo cotton-growing country, and it would not do for England to quarrel with so valuable an ally for the sake of a paltry tribe of Abyssinian Christians. So Consul Cameron was blamed by Earl Russell for doing precisely that for which Consu:Plowden had been highly com mended by Lord Palmerston. Thus it is that in Earl Russell's most ill-timed despatch of October sth, 1865, to Colonel Stanton (which has far more to do do with the present lamentable war with Abyssinia than is imagined by any one except those few who know the facts) it is asserted that " Capt. Cameron in going to Bogos acted without orders, and incurred the displeasure of his own Govern ment." And more recently the policy of England with respect to Bogos has been declared by Lord Stanley, in his despatch to Colonel Stanton of De cember 15, 1866 (Blue-book, page 95), to be that " Her Majesty's Government do not feel themselves in any way called on to interfere in differences and disputes between native tribes residing respectively on the frontiers of Egypt and Abyssinia." Still this is no reason why Consul Cameron should have incurred the displeasure of the Emperor Theodore. On the contrary, his visit to Bogos was made in the cause of that monarch's Christian sub , jests, and in company with Samuel, the Emperor's steward, formerly my servant ; and had our Consul but returned direct from Bogos to the Emperor's Qourt, even though without a n answer from the ueen, no harm could have ensued. For he had only to show that sufficient time had not elapsed for such answer to arrive. In fact, his own despatch of October 31, 1862, forwarding the Emperor's letter to the Queen, did not reach London till Feb. 12, 1863, and Lord Russell's answer to that despatch was dated April 22 ; so that when Consul Cameron returned to Gondar in June, 1863, and met the Emperor there in the following month, sufficient, or hardly sufficient, time had elapsed for Lord Russell's answer to reach him. It has nothing to do with the question as it then stood that in that answer the Emperor's letter to the Queen should have been totally ignored. Both Cameron and the Emperor expected a reply, and neither of them for a moment imagined that no reply would be sent. All, then, that Cameron had to do, had circumstances been favourable, was to account for the delay as above stated, which could not have failed to be satisfactory, especially as M. Bardel, who had left the Emperor's Court with him in Novem ber, 1862, and bad gone direct to Paris with a letter to the Emperor of the French, was not yet returned, and in fact did not return till September following. The real cause of Theodore's displeasure, then, was not so much that Consul Cameron returned in June, 1863, without the so anxiously-expected answer from the Queen, as that, instead of waiting first at Massowah, or at all events returning direct to'Bogos, he had been in the interval into neighbour ing Egyptian provinces, in the Emperor's own words, "He went to the Turks, who do not love me. . • Ile stayed with them some time and returned to me.' The explanation of this is that while in Bogos with Samuel, Consul Cameron received from the Foreign-office a despatch containing certain com munications which, under the circumstances detailed in my work "The British Captives in Abyssinia," I had made to the Board of Trade in the months of November end December, 1862, respecting the ex pediency of adopting measures for the development of British commerce in Ethiopia, and which, as I was informed by the Secretary of that Board in a letter dated Jan. 10th, 1863, " had been referred by her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs for the reportof her Majesty's Consul at Massowah." In consequence of the orders thus conveyed to him Consul Cameron went into the Egyptian pro vinces of Taka and Kalabat, " to see about cotton, and trade, and so fortb," as he wrote from Kedarif on May 25th, 1863, in a letter quoted in my said work, or, as lie has since written from his prison at Magdala, in a letter dated the 13th of Nov., 1866, which has been duly recorded—" At Bogos I got a letter from the Foreign-office directing me to report on the comparative merits of Souakin and Mas sowah as the seat of a Consulate; also to report on the trade of Souakin. It was that which led me to go to the trading stations of Cassala and Matatnma." This, then, is what the Emperor meant when he accused Cameron of " going to the Turks," and this it is that poor Cameron himself alludes to when he says, in his letter of the 25Lh of May, 1866, to Mr. Henry 1). Seymour, M.P., printed in page 55 of the Abyssinian Blue-book—" I feel somewhat like the lad in the Arabian Nights,' who made his cheese-cakes with pepper, and found that in so doing he had committed a great political offence ?" I have thus shown what was Consul Cameron's primary offence. The neglect of the British Go vernment in reply to the Emperor's letter, the abandonment of the Christian Abyssinians at Jeru- salon], and other grievances aggravated his displea sure, and led to the imprisonment of our Consul and the other Europeans. Still all this appeared to have been condoned on Mr. Rassam'a arrival with a friendly letter from the Queen. What led to the subsequent imprisonment of her Majesty's Envoy and the whole party is a totally different question. I regret to say that a letter from me, which ap peared in the Times on Sept. 14, 1865, by drawing forth Earl Russell's ill-advised despatch of Oct. 5 following, became, without any fault of mine, the primary cause of the misfortunes which have since ensued, as I purpose showing on another occasion.

A.F. Friponnier • • . 1 Hermit 2 Hippie _ . _ LONGEVITY IN ESSEX.—The death is announced, in the parish of St. Martin, Colchester, of Mrs. Ann Rum sey, widow, in her 104th year. It is an interesting cir cumstance that she was the daughter of the celebrated navigator, Captain Cook, who was massacred by the natives of Owbyhee, in the South Sea Islands; and that she was born only a few years after the accession of George 111. to the throne of England. HANGING A FENIAN.--A circumstance has just taken place in Barnsley which shows very strongly the feeling among the working classes on the subject of Fenianism. It appears that a young man in tho employ of Messrs. a J. Taylor and Son, manufacturers by steam power, declared to some of his fellow-workers in the warehouse that he was a Fenian, and that his sympathies were with the cause of those who had figured so conspicuously a few days ago in Man Chester. This declaration had no sooner been made than a jury was empanelled, and the self-declared Fenian put upon his trial. Ho was found guilty and sentenced to be hanged. A rope was placed around his neck and he was drawn up and suspended in mid-air. After he had been hanging a short time he was cut down. The culprit had already got black iu the face, and there was the mark of the rope upon his neck. The young men were taken be , fore a magistrate and fined 10s. each. SHARE LlST—This Day.

The trial of Wiggins also stands for to-morrow, the prosecution being also conducted by the Treasury, and Mr. Ribton being retained for the defence. The general impression, however, is that the trial of Bordier will be entered into at length, and that that of Wiggins will not be taken before Thursday. 711 E SULTAN AND 711 E LONDON POOR. It may be remembered that on the eve of his de parture his Imperial Majesty the Sultan, desiring to mark his sense of the magnificent reception given by the Corporation of London, and of the generous welcome afforded him by the inhabitants of the me tropolis generally, forwarded to the Lord Mayor at the Mansion House the sum of £2,500 to be distri buted among the poor at the discretion of his Lord ship. Yesterday the Lord Mayor, from the bench of the justice room, took occasion to announce how he, as the almoner of the Sultan in that particular instance, meant to apportion the bounty of his Im perial Majesty, and he invited the representatives of the press to aid him in making it known, as a matter in which the public might possibly feel interested. So extremely numerous, he said, had been the ap plications to him to participate in the benevolence of his Imperial Majesty that he had found it im possible to make such an investigation of the merits of each case as would insure a proper distribution of the fund, and he had, therefore, resolved to bestow the money upon such of the charitable institutions in the metropolis as seemed to him most likely to be in a position to give practical effect to the intentions of the Sultan. With that view he (the Lord Mayor) proposed to give to the 15 Poor Boxes in the city and metropolitan police courts £5O each, making £750 ; the Jewish Board of Guardians, £lOO ; the Convalescent Home (Mrs. Gladstone), £5O ; New port Market Refuge, £5O ; St. Giles' Refuge (Girls), £5O ; St. Giles' Training Ship, £250; Field-lane Refuge, £150; Cripples' Home, Kensington, £ 5O ; Orthopedic Hospital, £5O; Philanthropic Society of London, £5O ; Victoria-park Consumption Hospital, £lOO ; Dispensary, £5O ; Metropolitan Refuge (Boys), .£5O ; St. Giles' Truss Society, £5O ; City Dispensary, £5O ; Royal General Dispensary, £5O ; Royal South London Farringdon Dispensary /50 • City of London and East London Dispensary, 15 ' 0 ; City Kitchen for Dispensary, 150 ; the Poor, £5O ; Deaf an d D u mb Visiting Associa tion, £5O ; Society for the E m ployment of Needle women (charity f un d) £5O ; S tra ngers' Friend So ciety, £lOO ; Indi gent B lin d , £5O ; Guy's Ma t e rnit y Society, £5O ; House of Refuge (Du dle y Stuart), £5O ; and the Inrirtnary for Children , £5O, makin g ri in all £2,500. The Lord Mayor exp ressed his re gret that he could not undertake to reply individu ally to the very numerous overtures that had been made to him to share in the fund, and, that being so, he begged each of the applicAnts to accept that public announcement as an answer.

AN AMERICAN WAR-VESSEL AT SOUTHAMPTON. — The United States pad.fie-sloop of war Shamrock, 10 guns, Captain Hopkins, arrived in Southampton river yesterday evening. She is from Cherbourg on a Visit to this port. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PLUCKING FLOWERS IN FIEDE-PARK.—Alice Smith, a young woman, address refused, was charged with plucking flowers in Hyde-park. A policeman said that last night he saw the prisoner in one of the flower beds busily engaged in plucking flowers, which she dropped as soon as sho saw witness. She offered to give him whatever ho liked if ho would not take her to the police station. The prisoner 11;41 nothing to say iu her defence. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner was ono t f those mis chievous persons who must be restrained. The business of that court wos much increased by persons who did mie chief in the park. The prisoner would have to pay 5s or four days, and he wished to give notice that for the future the fine for the offence would be 40s or a month. ATTEMPTING TO 1108 RAILWAY VANS.—George Vial, 17, Frederick Williams, 15, and Jaime Brougham, 14, were charged; before Mr. Tyrwhitt, as suspected persons leit tering in Piceaflilly, supposed for the purpose of committing felony. The prisoners were seen by Philip Shrives, a plain clothes' officer of tho C Division, following railway vans evidently for the purpose of robbing, and he then took them into custody. Mr. Tyrwl-itt committed the prisoners for three months each with hard labour. Tho boys charged with stone-throwing in Hyde-park were fined 2s 6d each. WESTMINSTER. OVER HEAD AND EARS IN TROUBLE.—James Boazley, alias Lorn, about 22, wao charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of a horse and cart. A constable proved finding tho prisoner in Chelsea last night, driving a horse and cart; he was so drunk that the public were endangered. Prisoner admitted the drunkenness. • It was stated that there was a charge against him of stealing the horse and cart, and another constable from the body of the court said there was a charge against the pri soner of being a deserter from the It)yal Engineers. Mr. Solfe said ho had got into a great amount of trouble at any rate. Henry Lorn, the owner of the horse and cart, said yesterday afternoon he went to Brompton Cemetery to the funeral of the prisoner's mother, and left tho horse and cart outside. W hen the ceremony was over he went out side and found the horse and cart were gone. Ho had seen the prisoner at the funeral, but did not observe any drun kenness. Tho horse and cart were not seen again until he found them in possession of the police. Prisoner said he had nothing whatever to say to the charge. It was here stated that Sergeant Griffiths, R.E., had been in attendance, but was unable to remain, as he was on duty. Sergeant Morgan, 3 B, said this was the second desertion. Lorn said he had been a bricklayer, then a sweep, then had been in the army, and then he bad been away from it, and then he had taken the horse and cart. Prisoner was remanded until Saturday. THAMES. A PICKPOCKET AT A RAILWAY STATION.—William Ball, aged 21, who is also known as John Manning and William Harrod, wasbrought before Mr. Benson on remand charged with stealing a gold ring, value 305., and lls. in money, from the person of Elizabeth Cox, a servant of Snares brook, in Essex. The prosecutor was at the Stepney railway station a few days ago waiting for a train, and felt a hand in her pocket on the right side. She put her hand in her pocket and missed her purse. It contained Ils. and a gold ring. She seized the prisoner by the arm and said, "You have taken my purse." The prisoner said, "No ; I have not. You are mistaken." A porter of th , 3 Great Eastern Railway came up and took the prisoner into custody. In answer to Mr. Benson the witness said the prisoner was close to me on my right-hand side when I missed the purse. I had just put it in my pocket. No other person was near me. I saw him leave my side directly I missed my purse, which he handed to a confederate. The officers of the Great Eastern Railway Company offered me every assistance. Police Sergeant Dillon, 19 K, said the prisoner was a most incorrigible thief, and when out of prison lived in that most horrible court, named John's-place, Stepney, which was full of thieves. Francis Langford, police-constable, No. 288 K, said that the prisoner had been convicted at the Middlesex Sessions and sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment and hard labour. He had been convicted for robberies at other railway sta tions on both sides of the river. Mr. Benson committed the prisoner for trial. THE GREAT SHIP RACE FROM CHINA This year's race has proved quite as extraorii nary as that of last year. The Taeping, it seems, is not the winner after all, the Ariel, 853 tons, having arrived yesterday morning in the E tst India Docks in about five hours les3 time than that in which the journey was accomplished by the Taeping. The Ariel sailed from Foo-chow-foo on the 13th of June at half-past 8 o'clock in the morning, while the Taeping sailed nine days previously at 11 o'clock in the morning, arriving in the London Docks between 2 and 3 o'clock gm. on Saturday week last, the 14th. The number of days from the 4th of June to the 14th of September is 102. The Ariel was pre cisely the same number of days on her voyage, but arriving in the East India Docks at 7 o'clock yes terday morning she was the winner of the race by about five hours. It has been asserted that the Taeping was the winner in the last year's race. It is quite true that both she and the Ariel c tme up the Channel neck and neck, but the Ariel got in advance of her in coming up the river and was the first to arrive off Blackwell. In consequence, however, of there not being suffi cient depth of water at the Dock entrance she could not be hauled into the Dock and had to wait till next tide, while the Tacping passed her and suc ceeded in getting into the London Docks the mo ment she came up to them, and thus claimed the prize. Both ships were built at Greenock in the same year. Lloyd's Register of Shipping furnishes the fol lowing details respecting them :—They were both built on the composite principle—iron frames and teak planking. The Ariel is 853 tons, 197 ft. 4in. in length, 33ft. 9in. in breadth of beam, and 2ft. depth of hold ; classed A 1 for 14 years. The Taeping is 767 tons register, 183 ft. 7in. in length, 31ft. in breadth of beam, and 19ft. 9in. in depth of hold, and also similarly classed. Of the 11 other ships engaged in the race, two—the Fiery Cross, which sailed the day after the Taoping, and the Maitland, which was the first ship out from Foo chow-foo, passed through the Downs in the course of yesterday afternoon, and were expected to arrive in the river last night; the remainder of the vessels are the Serica, White Adder, Zibi, Taitsing, Flying Spur, Black Prince, Yangtze, Chinaman, and the Golden Spur. The Ariel, in her report of her recent speakings, passed the Black Prince, White Adder, Serica, and the Fiery Cross. Great as was the in terest evinced yesterday to learn the result of the race, another arrival from China completely put the Ariel and the Taeping in the shade as regards speed. This ship, however, was not in the race. She sailed from Shanghai on the 16th of June, after the de parture of most of the ships engaged in the race, took what is termed the eastern passage, and arrived in the Downs yesterday morning just previous to the Ariel. The eastern route is considerably longer than that taken by the ships in the race; yet she accomplished the voyage in 100 days. Her name is the Sir Launcelot, belonging to Greenock, 886 tons register, commanded by Capt. Robinson. She also was built on the Clyde, and her dimensions, measurement in deck, &c., aro precisely the same as the Ariel. She spoke on her voyage three of the race ships—namely, the Chinaman, on the 3d of August, off Madagascar, as also the Yangtze; and on the 11th of August the Flying Spur, off Algoa Bay.
