Geraldine Maurice, 38, was indicted for stealing a seal skin mantle, 2 rings, 2 bonnets, and also for conspiring, together with another, by false pretences to cheat and defraud divers persons. Mr. Poland appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ribton defended the prisoner. Kate Squires said she lived at Rotherhithe, and that she knew the prisoner as Mrs. Somerset and Mrs. Maurice ; she also knew a servant that lived with her, of the name of Louisa Frost and Miss Bristow. Frost had a defect in one of her eyes, she acted as lady's -maid to the prisoner, and was of a dark complexion. She had seen the prisoner write, and the letter now put into her hand was, to the best of her belief, written by her. She would swear that the letter was not written by Frost ; she had, however, seen a letter written by Frost, which she could not at all recognise, as it was so like that of the prisoner ; but, notwithstand ing that fact, she believed the letter she was now speaking of was written by the prisoner. She knew the prisoner at ctlie time she was living with Mr. Maurice. They were married and lived in style and splendour. She adopted a niece of hers and sent her to school, but she believed she never paid the bill. (Laughter.) Her name was then spelled Morris. Mrs. Jones also proved the handwriting of the note to be that of the prisoner. She had first known the prisoner 14 years ago as Mrs. Morris ; she was then living at Wollenhall, near Barnet. It was a beautiful house; a servant in livery who always touched his hat to her— Mr. Ribton—Never mind that ; it's nothing to do with the case. Witness—That may be, but it's the right thing to a lady. (Laughter.) There are many servants who don't do it. (Laughter.) She was quite sure the prisoner was married to Mr. Morris, as she got the prisoner's marriage certificate. Before she mar ried Mr. Morris she (witness) knew her as Mrs. Clowes. She had never known the prisoner by the name of Somerset. Prisoner's mother's name was Jones. Ellen Reutens was also called to speak to the handwriting of the prisoner. Miss Jevon, who said she was an assistant of Mr. Nicholay since Sept., 1865, said a letter was re ceived requesting that some sealskin mantles should be sent to a lady named Maurice, at No. 17,-St. Petersburg-place, Bayswater. The letter was signed " Somerset." The goods were sent, and one was retained. They were taken in by a woman of dark complexion, and who also had something the matter with one of her eyes. After a short time the same person returned, and said the lady would take the one valued at 18 guineas, and at the same time she received an order fur a hood to be male of the same material. In about four or five days after witness took the hood, but found the house empty. Mr. Ribton said there was bona fide parting with the goods, and therefore there could be no false pre tence. Mr. Poland said the goods were parted with on the belief that the prisoner was connected with the Somerset family, and certainly th 4 witness Jevon would never have left the goods. And she thought she was a person passing under an assumed name, or that she was not a person of aristocratic connec tions. The Common Sergeant thought the case was com pleted by the prosecution before the point was raised. Superintendent lleales, of the Dorsetshire police, said he took the prisoner into custody at Swanage. She was passsing as the lion. Mrs. Maurice. There was a female with her, who acted as her servant, and who bad something the matter with her eye. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Ribton then argued the point he had raised that the charge of felony must fail against the prisoner, who had never been seen in the transac tion. He would not say there was not a case of obtaining possession by false pretence; which made the case against the prisoner at the most one of larceny. Mr. Poland said the goods were parted with on the supposition that the prisoner was a person of substance and respectability. He contended that he had fully made out a case to go to the jury. The Common Sergeant thought there was no parting with the property, as Miss Jevon had no power to part with it except to Mrs. Somerset. He could not reserve the point as there was no question of law involved. The prisoner was found guilty. Sentence was postponed. A Remonstrance with the Fenians The following lines, published anonymously, nearly twenty years ago, under the title of " Re monstrance with the Irish Agitators," we are, to-day, tempted to republish and re-entitle as above—from their singularly a propos character when applied now-a-days to the Fenlans and to Fenianism. Although this poem has never been publicly acknow ledged as one from his master hand, and, although it has never been included among any of his collected works, it is impossible, as it seems to us, not to recognise in its harmonious rhythm and impassioned force, not merely the manner but the very voice and accents of one of the first songwriters of our time—Dr. Charles Mackay. Ye blood preaching bigots that trouble the land, Ye spouters of nonsease, so rabid and keen, 'Tis a st ale, not a pike, that should gleam in the hand . . Of the quick-witted peasant of Erin the green. With your madness and folly you muddle his head, Your words are pernicious, you load him.astray ; 'Tie not blood that ho wants, but a home and his bread— Get out of the sunshine -get out of the way I You prate night and day about war for the right, About swords to take vengeance for evils endured, About harvests of Liberty gathered in fight, And of social diseases by Anarchy cured. 'T would not answer your purpose to toll what you know, That never, since earth turned its zones to the day, Did permanent Freedom from massacre flow— Get out of the sunshine—get out of the Way ! To teach him, poor fellow, that Liberty springs From Knowledge and Industry, suits not your plan ; Your lofty ambition must soar upon wings, And feed—a foul bird—upon carrion of man. Wore Peace over Erin, your power would expire ; Were Knowledge extended, your st rengt h would decay ; It is Bloodshed you love, it is Strife you desire— Get out of the sunshine—get out of the way! To vanity, great and voracious as yours, Peace, Knowlege, and Labour no chances afford! The patriot's trust is in Truth that endures, But folly and wickedness trust to the sword. What matter to you if the laud should be strewed With the corpses of myriads destroyed in the fray, If you can but ride on the storm you have brewed ? Get out of the sunshine—get out of the way ! Cease to cram the poor peasant with furious dislikes, Cease maxims of hatred and blood to instil, Cease to marshal your dupes with their guns and their pikes, And leave them to hammer, to weave, and to till ; Cease to vex and distract us from good to be done ; True Freedom's no growth of a midsummer day, The seeds have been sown ; let them grow —every ouo. Get out of the sunshine—get out of the way! A CHURCH LIVING WITHOUT A PATRON.—A few weeks since the rectory of St. Peter's Church, Walling ford, became vacant by the death of the Rev. James Hazel, M.A., and there seems likely to be some little difficulty about filling it up. No ono seems to know who the patron is. Mr. Davenport, the secretary of the Bishop of Oxford, in whose diocese the benefice is s'tuate, has been applied to, but is not able to give the slightest information about it. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR CASE.—Frederick Hunt, a boy about 9 years of age, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following robbery. John Millane, of No. 84, Berwick- street, Soho, said—The prisoner is my stepson. Yesterday I came home unexpectedly to dinner, and my wife, not having anything ready, gave the prisoner "sd. to fetch me something. I told him to be quick, and he rau off_ and never returned. Last night, about eight, I met him and gave him into custody. We have forgiven him several times for robbing us, and we now only want to get him into an industrial school. Mr. Tyrwhitt—lf I send him to a school, you will have to pay something. The Prosecutor—l will pay what I can afford. Ile is a Roman Catholic, and I hope you will send him to a Roman Catholic school. Mr. Tyrwhitt--I am afraid the school at Wal thamatow is full. There is a good deal of nonsense existing about the matter; but why should not the boy go to Feitham. Police-constable Gordon, 33 C—There is a place at Walthamstow for the boy if the father pays ss. a week, but he cannot do so. Mr. Tyrwhitt—That is rather stiff. At Feltham the amount is is. or is. 6d., and they do not enforce even that if there is any inability to pay it. If Walthamstow is a charity it is a strange one. E will remand the boy for a week to see what can be done. The mother of the boy and also his step-father (both speaking at once)—We would rather have him home than he should go to prison. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Then take him . home. The boy was then handed over to the pro3ecutor. SPORTING INTEL LIGIDNOZ—This Day. WARWICK RACES—This DAY. (ar DLNOTAIC TISSEORAPIT.) TALLY-HO STAKES.

STEALING ClGARS.—William Davis, a barman, was charged with stealing 14 cigars, value 25., the goods of George Francis, his master. Air. Wm. Smyth, solicitor, of Rocheeter-rovr, de fended. Mr. George Francis, landlord of the Morpeth Arms, Ponsonby-street, Milbank, said the prisoner had been his barman five weeks, and he had been missing cigars some time since. On Saturday night he examined the cigar boxes, and again on Sunday morning, and found twelve missing. No one but the prisoner could have had access to the boxes. He was going out about 3 o'clock with a youth, when witness called him into the parlour, and said he had missed some cigars. The prisoner pulled twelve cigars out of his pocket wrapped in paper, and said he took them out of the boxes. 113 took out 18s. Gd., and offered to pay for the cigars. Two more cigars were found upon him. Cross-examined—He was going out for a holiday. Prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Smyth addressed the court in mitigation of punishment, and entreated the magistrate to deal leniently with the prisoner, whose act was more one of thoughtlessness than of deliberate dishonesty. The prisoner had lately taken to habits of smoking, and being about to go out for a holiday thought there was no harm in taking a few of his master's cigars. He hoped the court would take into con sideration that the prisoner would not only lose a good situation, but that his character would be irretrievably lost by a conviction for felony, and he believed the prosecutor would join with him in his appeal for mercy. Mr. Selfe said that robberies by servants were very serious matters, and if the prisoner had gone for trial he would have received a heavier sentence than he was now about to pass, viz., five months' imprisonment, with hard labour. THAMES. INDIAN HONESTY.—A. poor Asiatic mendicant, with white h.►ir and beard, old and decrepit, came before Mr. Paget, and putting a purse containing a considerable sum of money into the hands of Mr. Livingstone, the chief usher, made known with great difficulty, and in a few words of broken Eng lish, that he had found the purse and money and wanted an owner for it. In answer to questions, he said that he picked up the purse in the City a fortnight ago ; he believed it was near the Bank. He had been iu this country 15 years. Ho lived in Flower-and-Dean-street, Spitalfields. Mr. Livingston said the poor Indian was one of numerous Lascars who cams to this country many years ago at a time when our European seamen were scarce in the East Indies. Some of the ship owners were reluctant to send the Lascars back to the East Indies, according to law, and some of them remained here. The - poor fellow in the witness-box had been in the practice of hawking small pamphlets and tracts about the streets. His poverty was great, aad his honesty remarkable. After a long palaver with the poor Indian, who was very difficult to understand, and who expressed a wish that the owner of the purse and money should receive it, Mr. Paget said that the Lascar might leave the house with the chief usher, and if the owner was found the poor creature ought to be liberally re warded with a portion of the contents. He begged of the Indian not to describe the contents to auy one, and to call again in a week or two. MARKETS—(This Day.) HAY.

This being the first day of an unusually early session of Parliament, it could hardly have been expected that a very numerous assemblage of peers would take place; howover, both the Ministerial and Opposition benches were exceedingly well filled. Amongst the early arrivals were the Earl of Derby, the Duke of Richmond, the Earl of (larnarvon, the Earl of Dalhousie ' the Earl of Afalmes bury, Lord Cairns, Earl Russell, Earl Granville, and many others. THE QUEEN'S SPEECH. Tho LORD CHANCELLOR then read the address, which has already appeared in a former edition of The Sun. Lord BROWNLOW said that in rising to address their lordships' house he would claim thei r ki n d i n d u l g e n ce. Her Majesty had submitted many important subjects for their consideration, but the foremost in importance it seemed wasthe Abyssinian question. He would upon this subject advert to the fact that Mr. Rassam had been sent by her Majesty to the King of Abyssinia to demand the captives, and they had actually been delivered up to him, and only awaited the season to arrive to pursue their homeward journey, :where Mr. Rassam waited upon 'the King and was asked what had become of the prisoners, he said they had started on their homeward journey. So faithless was the King that he sent after the captives and compelled them to come back to captivity, and when this was done he made Mr. Rassam write a letter, which being delivered by Mr. Faad, caused English workmen to be sent under the direction of Col. Merewether ; but the latter very wisely would not allow them to proceed into the country, but informed the King that the artisans and presents would be forwarded when the prisoners were liberated. After a great deal of equivocation, it was at last intimated to King Theodore that force must be used to obtain pos session of the English prisoners in his ferritory, and after great reluctance on the part of her Majesty's Government an expedition had been sent to that count r y. With regard to her Majesty's relations to all foreign nations it appeared that nothing could be more harmonious. It was also men tioned in her Majesty's address that a most calami tous disturbance, termed Fenianism, had given a great deal of trouble, and was most vexatious, but with regard to it he was very sure no English loyal subject had anything to do with it. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord then adverted to the other points in the address—the ex tension of the franchise, cattle plague, &c.—and concluded by moving that an humble address be presented to Her Majesty. Lord H YLTON, in seconding this motion, said that the Abyssinian question had long been a vexatious question before the public. It had been often agitated that an expedition should be sent to Abyssinia, but it had not been done until the present Government came into office. Even then every means was taken to effect the end aimed at without resorting to hostilities ; and now when it became impossible to do otherwise although a great tax would be placed upon the naval and military forces, yet he believe that our Anglo-Indian army would maintain its ancient renown, and that every aid would . bo given from every department of the Empire. (Hear, hear.) With regard to our relation with foreign nations, it was gratifying to know that the Emperor of the French had expressed himself our firm ally. He trusted that her Majesty's Government would be firm in deal ing with the hopeless and fruitless conspiracy which had baen alluded to in her Majesty's Speech, and that all would be done which could conduce to the peace and security of English subjects. He would only glance at the clause which had stated the probability of introducing a measure of Reform for Scotland and Ireland, but after the large measure of last year in England he had no 'doubt such a bill would be carried. The bills to prevent bribery and corruption at elections and for the educa tion of the {people were most important ones. Having alluded to several other features in the speech from the Throne, he concluded by seconding the Address. Lord RUSSELL said that there was no doubt about the propriety of calling the Parliament together for the purpose of discussing this moat important expedition to Abyssinia. There were two questions, however ; one was whether there was a cases belli against the King of Abyssinia, and of this ho had no doubt ; and the second was, whether it was advisable to send such a large military force to that coun try. Of the bravery of our troops, and of their doing their duty, he had no doubt, but what weighed upon his mind was that the climate and the difficulties of obtaining sup plies should first be cleared up. He had no doubt that the means of ascertaining these facts had been taken by the Government. [LEFT SBEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tins EVENING. The SPEAKER having resumed the chair, The standing orders were then read and agreed to. NEW ME 11BER. " • ' - Lord DE BURGH took the oath and his seat for Gal way county. ABYSSINIA. Sir S. NORTHCOTE laid on the table papers connected with matters in Abyssinia. Col. SYKES gave notice that on Friday he should move for a return of the names, nationalities, &c., of the pri soners in Abyssinia, and also he should ask a question of the Secretary of War whether Consul Cameron held a commission in the army, and, if uot, under what circum stances he quitted it. ARTISANS' DWELLINGS. Mr. M'C. TORRENS gave notice of his intention to introduce a bill for the improvement of the dwellings of the working classes. HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH-THE ADDRESS. Her Majesty's Speech on the opining of Parliament having been read by the Speaker, Mr. DYKE rose to move that an address be presented to Her Majesty in answer to her most gracious speech. He said he bad to ask that indulgence invariably extended to those pl aced in a similar position. Her Majesty had expressed her regret in calling her Parliament together at an un usual period ; the ground of that regret was apparent iu the first part of the Royal Speech, and that circumstance, .10t.•.. of course, would necessitate the voting of the supplies for the expedition to Abyssinia. With respect to the expedition to Abyssinia, it was for the interest of all parties that a full consideration of all the matters connected with the unhappy war should take place,.and although lie should not on that occasion enter at full length into all the details of the Abyssinian expe dition, he could not forbear touching lightly upon souse of the leading points. The hon. gentleman then re ferred to the steps that had already been taken to procure the liberation of the prisoners. The most recent matter of importance was the despatch of a letter by the noble lord at the head of the Fereigu Department, and if it was asked why earlier action on the matter had not been taken, he could only say that an answer to the letter he had referred to could only have been received within three days of the breaking up of last session. The King of Abyssinia had been informed that unless he delivered up the prisoners active steps would be taken to enforce their liberation, yet, notwithstaneing that, they still remained in captivity, and it was some satisfaction to know that the war was mainly for that purpose, and not for the purpose of aggrandisement. (Hear.) If iu the course of the discussions that must follow it was shown that every diplomatic means were taken to effect the release of the prisoners Parliament would endorse the policy of the Government on the subject. (tear, bear.) With respect to Italy it was a matter of regret that violent persons should have attempted to invade that tranquillity that that country so much required. The Emperor Napoleon had taken some steps in the matter, and he could not but think that a sovereign who had expressed so much good-will towards this coun try would not act now in opposition to all his former po licy. Unhappily the deplorable state of affairs which had existed in Ireland had extended to this country, but he hoped the wishes expressed by her Majesty would be realised, that the law would be found adequate for the suppression of such treasonable proceedings. With respect to the question of Parliamentary Reform last session many hard things had been said ; he hoped these would now be forgotten, and that Parliament would apply itself to the completion of that great question, and thus bring about a settlement of a !matter which had caused the greatest anxiety. He hoped to bring forward a bill for the sup pression of bribery at elections, which would be one calculated to root out bribery, which was one of the great evils connected with their electoral system, and its suppression could but lead to the most satisfactory results. The great difficulty was to define the exact point for legislation to commence, but doubtless that would be satisfactorily dealt with by Parliament. With respect to the question of education, he did not think there was a question that more urgently .required the attention of the house. It was melancholy to run down the list of those who at various times took their trial ; it was lamentable to find so many unable either to read or write. If that great evil could be satisfactorily surmounted, it would be one of the greatest blessings that could be conferred upon the country. The bill for the regulation of the introduction and slaughter of foreign cattle he hoped would be one calculated to give satisfaction to all classes, and thanking the house for the kindness they had exhibited to him, he would express a hope that by the blessing of Providence the prospects of the country would continuo to increase, and that their private exertions would add to the good of all her Majesty's subjects. The hon gentleman then read the Address, which was as usual a mere echo of the Royal Speech. Col. HOGG, in seconding- the Address, said he felt his inability to grapple with the task, but he knew he could rely on the goodness of the house. His honourable friend had so dealt with the Abyssinian question that little was left for him to say; but he hoped that there would be no mistake upon one point, and that was that before King Theodore's reply was received the Government could not have foreshadowed its policy. Three years of cruelty to the prisoners, he thought, fully justified the Government in sending forth the expedition, but he did hope the expedition would not assume the charac ter of an Abyssinian war. That was not the time to justify the policy of Government, but he would answer ono objec tions he had heard against the expedition, and that was the expense, but he did not think the house would calculate the value of the lives of British subjects at money's worth. (Hear, hear.) He had letters ho could read from that part of the country detailing the indignities offieers in her Majesty's service had been subjected to, such as never had before been endured, and the Government had done well in confiding the command of the expe dition to so brave a soldier as Sir Robert Napier, who bad showed his bravery iu inane- parts of her Majesty's dominions. It was satisfactory that the utmost care had been taken in forwarding the necessary requirements for the successful support of the expedition, and although some may say the preparations were too extensive, yet he thought the shortest way to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion was to carry ou the expedition in a most perfect manner. He for one most ardently desired that Her Majesty's views on the subject of Italy might be carried out, and that that quiet which was so desirable would follow the quelling of the invasion, and that ultimately peace and prosperity would prevail throughout the whole of Italy. The outrages that ha I been committed is some parts of England were much to be deplored, and he felt that when the majesty of the law was vindi cated peace would follow, and that the misgoverned persons who had taken part in them would see the folly of pursuing such a mad career. The efforts to cheapen the provisions of the groat bulk of her Majesty's subjects was under the consideration of Parliament, and in the hope that the best results would follow their deliberations he begged to second the address. The SPEAKER having read the Address, Mr. GLADSTO.NE said there was nothing in either of the addresses of the tw . hon. gentlemen, or the Address itself, which would call upon him to depart from the usual course of voting it without amendment. He had, however, intended to have asked the right honourable gentleman sonic questions on the policy of the Government, but there were matters of a domestic nature, widen would at this moment prevent him doing so, and he would take that opportunity of stating that the right hon. gentleman had the sympathy of the whole house. (Hear, hear.) He could not at that moment but express his mast ardent wish that the Abssiniau expedition might not extend slowly into a war—(hear, hear) —and although nothing could be done at that moment, yet he only felt it right to say that the house would expect to have the most frank explanations on the subject of Abyssinia. (Hear, hear.) The question was a most difficult one, and although he did not mean to imply any want of confidence iii the steps which the Government had taken, yet the country would expect that some explanations would be required as to how it was proposed to carry on the war, and what was the hope of sue cos against a person who it was supposed would not fight but run. (Hear, hear.) He felt that explanation would also be required as to the employment of Indian troops in the expedition without the consent of Parliament. We were now going into Abyssinia, and the next idea that arose in the mindsof many would be, "when would we come out of Abpssinia ?"—and he could not for one moment imagine that there was any intention in the present. He denied that there was any intention of territorial aggrandisement, because there was quite as much anxiety with respect to territorial government. The next matter that would be looked forward to with the greatest interest was the change to bo made for the expedition. Rumour said a large sum was to be asked for, and that a portion of that was to be borne of the revenues of India, but he hoped the other part would not be saddled on this country by way of additional debt. If the Government pro posed to meet the expenses of the day out of the revenue, Parliament would give her Majesty's Govern ment their best help and assistance ; therefore he hoped the fears that were expressed in some quarters would not be realized. With respect to Italy, he could not see how it would have been possible for her Majesty's advisers not to have taken some notice of the painful proceedings that had taken place in that country—(hear)—and with respect to Fenianism, he could only say that he felt the law would be found fully equal to the occasion, and that her Majesty's peaceable subjects should not be overridden ley lawless and ill-disposed men with impunity. (Hear.) There werre rumours with respect to the commission on the Irish Church, but he hoped many that he had heard were untrue, but the object of the commission was clearly to elect and bring before Parliament more clearly than was at present known certain facts, leaving Parliament to deal with them as it seems best. He hoped that unanimity would not be disturbed, and that with that view he supported the address that had just been read, Tho CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was deeply touched by the kindness that had been extended to him, and he thanked them very deeply for it. With respect to the Abyssinian expedition, the object of the Government was entirely to take the opinion of the house apart from party feeling. He could not then enter into the matter as to how the war was to be carried on. It would all be fully laid before Parlia ment. [LEFT SPEAKING.] CAMBRIDGE UMPERSITY ATBLE7ICS.
