Now Published, A WINTER JOURNEY TO ROME AND BACK, WITH AN ACCOUNT OF THE OPENING OF THE (ECUMENICAL COUNCIL, AND GLANCES AT MILAN, FLORENCE NAPLES, POMPEII, AND • VENICE. BY WILLIAM EVILL. ' • STANFORD, Charing Cross. Price 4s. 6d " Mr. W. Evill has written a lively and agreeable account of A Winter Journey to Rome.' His descriptions of scenery in the Alps and of the Italian cities are exceedingly graphic, shewing much sympathy with nature, and a refined intelligence, Though the style of the book is somewhat sketchy, it is thoroughly readable, especially in the passages referring to the Council, which have in some degree the value of contemporary history."— Daily Telegraph. " Those who have-followed the well-known route, and visited the spots described by Mr. Evill, are scarcely likely to add much to their fund of information by reading his lively sketches ; yet we are far from saying that the publication is superfluous. To gain knowledge is not the' only object which induces a man or woman to take ap a new volume ; and if ifr. Evill does not add distinctly to our stock, he has. the art—a rare one—of placing familiar scenes in a fresh and agreeable light. . . . The book has the merit of being thoroughly readable."—Pall Mall Gazette. " IlaVing read the book through from cover to cover—of Well an eulogium from any reviewer—we could certainly. not spare Mr. Evill's always animated, often graphic, and more than once or twice really eloquent descriptions, any more than we could spare his account of the wonderful pageantry of the Papal func tions in Rome, and of the marvellous masterpieces in sculpture and painting scattered among the Palaces and Basilicas. .. As a graphic delineator of the superb scenery and the renowned cities through which he made this winter journey, he seas acquitted himself admirably well."—Sun. " The author has evidently a feeling for the beautiful and the picturesque, and describes what he saw in forcible and some times eloquent language Notwithstanding his well worn subject, Mr. Evill has produced an agreeable little volume, which may not unprofitably detain the reader."—Dally News. " There is no pretension whatever about the.book of travels, and though it relates very little of what is new, it tells of nothing that is uninteresting, vapid, or dull. To the truthfulness of its descriptions of places and works of art we can thoroughly testify, and assure our readers that such of them as are meditating an Italian tour could not possibly do better than furnish themselves with a copy:"—Bell's Weekly Messenger. " Mr. Evill's visit to Rome was opportunely timed to enable him to witness the great gathering of prelates . in attendance at the opening of the (Ecumenical Council ; his journey was accomplished with great rapidity, but his hasty en 'route sketches are lively and amusing."—Record. " In this pleasant little book we have an abundance of inter esting matter, such as a professed bookmaker might extend into the compass of two goodly volumes ln the very first page we are satisfied with the book, and are engrossed with its contents We recommend the entire little volume as well to readers as to intending tourists in search of continental information."—News of the World. "The ground was all new to Mr. Evill, and, hi spite of the season of the year, he saw it under peculiarly favourable cir cumstances. He has an eye quick to see, and a pen that enables him to tell right pleasantly, and not a little vividly, what he has seen. . . . , Mr. Evill was fortunate enough, in company with his friend, Mr. Charles Kent, the poet, to see the pro cession in St. Peter's, on the opening day of the Vatican Council. His description of it is very graphic."—Western Morning News. "Italy has been described to the reading world again end again, and, therefore, the charm of Mr. Evill's book is not the charm of novelty, but it has a charm. There is a fresh, inge nuous manner, that appeals to the reader. The author records his impressions and describes minutely the beauty of the Italian scenery without a thought of the travellers who have gone before. Some passages, descriptive, are really excellent. me exterior and interior of Milan cathedral are put before us in glowing terms, and the long ceremonies of the opening of the (Ecumenical Council are forcibly described. His description of Venice is excellent. 'Mr. Evill's word-painting is far above the average of such descriptions. We are sure that readers, after a perusal of this book, will have a vivid impression of the scenery described, and be grateful to Mr. Evill for his pleasant rec,ollec tions."—Lloyd's Weekly News. " Accuracy of description will cause this little book to be read, and probably enjoyed, by those Englishmen and English women whom necessity keeps at home year after year . . . The profits are to be given to a charity, and we heartily wish it every success, and think that many untravelled Englishmen will find something to interest them in Mr. Evill's " Winter Journey to Rome."—The Examiner. "This little volume, containing, together with careful descrip tions of places and cities, an account of the opening of- the (Ecumenical Council, it is worthy of notice, is dedicated, not in irony or without permission, but in friendship and with full authority, by a Protestant to a Roman Catholic. There may be many worse preparations for a visit to the city which still is queenlike, if no longer queen, than a perusal of this unpreten tious, but instructive volume ; and the author's remarks touching that Church, the services and worship of which serve to make up the entire life of modern Rome may grieve, but will not affront, a liberal Roman Catholic, and may command the assent, but will not shook the bettor feelings, of a Liberal Protestant"— Illustrated London News.

TO THE ELECTORS AND RATEPAYERS OF MARYLEBONE. GENTLEMEN,—I present myself as a Candidate for Election to the London School Board as one of the Representatives of Marylebone. I have incessantly and actively advocated a system of National Unsectarian Education. For twenty years I have studied the wants, the claims, the rights of the people ; and have all that time been iii the habit of expres sing any opinions, as a public journalist, on the questions which have arisen affecting their moral and material well-being. I have been led to believe that my humble services to the pub lic cause will recommend me to the place of honour I seek at the new Education Council. I reWes7eanc;Tci:i:o party, no clique, and am not specially supported by any organisation. I base my candidature broadly on my known participation in the political progresses of the last twenty years, of which the Elementary Education Bill of 1870 is the most important.

IS PEACE POSSIBLE ? Professor Max Miller writes an admirable letter to the Times to express his conviction that peace may be brought about, and that England possesses sufficient influence with one or both of the belli gerents to induce them to accept terms of peace. He has no hesitation in saying that the voice of England has not lost its weight with the better portion of the German people. "If England would but speak the lan. guage of a friend, free from lofty airs and magisterial accents, she would herself be surprised at the effect she might produce." With respect to France it is more difficult to speak, but if there is one friend to, whom France would listen in her time of trouble, it is England. Professor Max Muller thinks that the losses of Germany can never be recompensed otherwise than by territory. Nor does he consider it hopeless that France may be induced to see this. " The actual expenses of the war may be reimbursed in kind, but to suppose that the lives of thousands of soldiers could be valued at so much a head would be to carry us back into the darkest ages of barbarism. If England would but speak to France as a friend to a friend, and as the defender of those eternal principles of justice which must regulate the conduct of nations as well as of individuals, France would be the first to admit that for the war, which M. Jules Favre has boldly de nounced as a crime she owes a heavier guerdon than mere money." The writer then proceeds to deny that the Germans are actuated by a desire for conquest. They abhor the idea of annexing any but German territory, and though always animated by a desire to regain Alsace and Lorraine they would not wage an aggressive war for that object. But there must be a real peace. " Think only of what has happened France attacks Germany with the avowed purpose of annexing German soil. The French army is beaten back, and the German army, in pur suing the enemy, finds itself in actual possession of Alsace and Lorraine. The sacrifices have been terrible ; there is hardly a family from the Vistula to the Rhine that is not in mourning. 'My only son, "my husband,' ' our father,' `my four sons,' such are the headings that rivet our eyes when reading the notices of deaths in Ger man newspapers. Think how every heart in England quivered when the news arrived that three young English men had been killed by Greek brigands ; ultiply that feeling by hundreds and thousands, and you may then form an idea of the sorrow and the fury that pervades the country, It is a mercy that there have been no German reverses. and that the atrocities of former French invasions have not been repeated. It is a mercy that the feeling of revenge does not exist in the German army. But on one point all Germans are agreed, that, as far as in them lies, such a war must not occur again. The objection that the inhabitants of Alsace and Lorraine are devoted to France is not regarded as insuperable by Professor Max Miller. He concludes : "It has become the fashion of late to preach on French frivolity and immorality as pervading the whole country ; but those who know France best know that it is not so. No doubt the upper classes have paraded their extravagance and their vices be fore the eyes of the world in France more than they would dare do in other countries ; but the middle classes are sound and safe, and there is among the lower classes less drunkenness and brutality than elsewhere. The con stantly accumulating wealth of France is the best proof of the industry and frugality of the nation, and but for this fatal war France would soon have been the queen among the nations of Europe. What has been may be again, and in the peaceful but far more honourable contests for superiority in manufactures, in art, in learning, and literature, France will soon prove again a match, and more than a match for England and Germany. If men of the stamp of M. Arles Dufour would but boldly step forward and appeal to the French people we should soon have peace. Germany desires peace, and though there are parties in Germany who insist on the whole of Alsace and Lorraine, there are others who object to any annexation. Count Bis marck seems to have taken his stand between both extremes. He is too good a statesman to imagine that the annexation of disaffected provinces is any addition to the strength of Germany, but he is too good a patriot to leave the western frontier of the Empire any longer exposed as it has been." NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Instances of insubordination amonc , British soldiers in India have become so common that Lord Napier of Magdala has written a severe rebuke which he has ordered to be read at the head of every regi ment, troop, company and detachment of British troops in Bengal. In 1869 there were 293 con victions of insubordination in I3engal, and . 214 up to September in the present year. Most of these crimes have been accompanied with violence against commissioned or non-commissioned officers, and some recent cases have been of a very aggravated character. In the case originating these remarks from the Commander-in-Chief, a private named Watson, in the 60th Rifles, was found guilty of knocking his sergeant over the head with the butt end of his rifle on parade, and afterwards attempting to run him through with a sword bayonet. He was sentenced to penal servitude for life, and Lord Napier of Magdala regrets the court (lid not take the strong view of the crime which he takes, implying evidently that in his opinion the pun ishment should have been death. VISITATION OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK.— His Grace the Archbishop of York commenced his visita tion at St. Michael's Church, Mahon, on Monday, and delivered a lengthy charge to the clergy of the arch deaconry of Cleveland. He referred to the gratifying work of churchbuilding in Sheffield, Hull, Middles borough, &c., and urged increased energy in Middles borough in particular, which wanted stirring up to that liberality from which churches were built. Confirma tions were a fair test of progress in the diocese. In 1863 he held twenty-nine confirmations ; this year 48. He exhorted the clergy to pay greater diligence to this important rite. In 1863 the candidates were 3,963 ; the average of three years ending 1869 was 5,161. It was his wish and intention to divide the diocese into two instead of into three parts, so that every, parish might have its confirmation once in two years. There were parishes where the law did not yet enforce two services on a Sunday. There was much to regret on this head. In 120 parishes also no collections had been made foi foreign missions during the year. A parish association for missions should be everywhere formed to assist one another of the great associations for this purpose. The abolition of compulsory church rates had not had any marked effect. A diocesan fund might become necessary with a hostile landlord or a poor people, but they should not abandon the rate where it could be got, for it was not legal to let pews in churches instead of church rates. Edu cation had up to the last session been mainly in the hands of the clergy, and the new measure had no hostile spirit to reli gious education on the whole. The chief danger was that those chosen on Boardsshould be men unacquainted with education. The clergy must exert themselves, and not let the Boards be left to local politicians, or to economists found to put down the rates. Every clergyman should address himself to the condition of the school in his own parish, and, if necessary, obtain a site and a Government grant before the end of the present year. They should regard the present state of the law not as a defeat, but as an incentive to be up and doing.

Mr. Disraeli has written a " General Preface " to the collected edition of his works, in which he reviews the circumstances which led to the production of his various novels. We extract the following observations, which will be read with interest : " A distinguished individual has suggested that, in a preface to this edition of my collected works, I might give my own views of the purport of " Lothair." It strikes me, with all deference, that it would be not a little presump• tuous for an author thus to be the self-critic of volumes which appeared only a few months ago. Their purport to the writer seems clear enough, and as they have been more extensively read both by the people of the United Kingdom and the 1 -1 ::it-,ed States than any work that has appeared for tiaif-century, I will even venture to assume that on thia tl.ley are of the same opinion as myself. " But, on some ether works, the youngest of which were written a quarter of a century ago, it would perhaps be in me not impertinent now to make a few remarks. Coningsby," Sybil,' and "fancred' form a real Trilogy —that is to say, they treat of the same subject, and endea vour to complete that treatment. The origin and cha racter of our political parties, their influence on the con dition of the people of this country, somerpicture of the moral and physical condition of that people, and some intimation of the means by which it might be elevated and improved, were themes which had long engaged my mediation. " Born in a library, and trained from early childhood by learned men who did not share the passions and the prejudices of our political and social life, I had imbibed on some subjects conclusions different from those which generally prevail, and especially with reference to thehis tory of our own country. How an oligarchy had been substituted for a kingdom, and a narrow-minded and bigoted fanaticism flourished in the name of religious liberty, were problems long to me insoluble ; but which early interested me. But what most attracted my musing, even as a boy, were the elements of our poli tical parties, and the• strange mystification by which that which was national in its constitution had become odious, and that which was exclusive was presented as popular. " What has mainly led to this confusion of public thought and this uneasiness of society is our habitual carelessness in not distinguishing between the excellence of a principle and its injurious or obsolete application. The feudal system may have worn out, but its main prin ciple, that the tenure of property should be the fulfilment of duty, is the essencs of good Government. The divine right of kings may have been a pl ea f or f ee bl e t yrants, but the divine right of Government is the keyseone of human progress, and without it Governments sink into police and a nation is degraded into a mob. " National institutions were the ramparts of the multi tude against large estates exercising political power derived from a limited class. The Church was in theory, and once it had been in practice, the spiritual and intel lectual trainer of the people. The privileges of the multitude and the prerogatives of the Sovereign had grown up together, and together they had waned. Under the plea of Liberalism, all the institutions which were the bulwarks of the multitude had been sapped and weakened, and nothing had been substituted for them. The people were without education, and, relatively to the ad vance of science and the comfort of the superior classes, their condition had deteriorated, and their physical quality as a race was threatened. Those who in theory were the national party, and who sheltered themselves under the in stitutions of the country against the oligarchy, had, both by a misconception and a neglect of their duties, become, and justly, become odious; while the oligarchy, who had mainly founded themselves on the plunder of the popular estate, either in the shape of the possessions of the Church or the domains of the Crown, had by the patronage of certain general principles which they only meagerly applied, assumed, and to a certain degree acquired, the character of a popular party. But no party was national; one was exclusive and odious, and th e o th e r liberal and cosmopolitan. " Tile perverse deviation of political parties from their original significance may at first sight seem only subjects of historical curiosity, but they assume a different char acter when they practically result in the degradation of a people. "To change back the oligarchy into a generous aria tocracy round a real throne ; to infuse life and vigour into the Church as the trainer of the nation, by the revival of Convocation, then dumb, on a wide basis, and not, as has been since done, in the shape of a priestly section ; to establish a commercial code on the principles successfully negotiated by Lord Bolingbroke at Utrecht, and which, though baffled at the time by a Whig Parliament, were subsequently and triumphantly vindicated by his political pupil and heir, Mr. Pitt ; to govern Ireland according to the policy of Charles L, and not of Oliver Cromwell ; to emancipate the political constituency of 1832 from its sectarian bondage and contracted sympathies ; to elevate the physical as well as the moral condition of the people, by establishing that labour required regulation as much as property ; and all this rather by the use of ancient forms and the restoration of thy, past than by political revolutions founded on abstract ideas, appeared to be the course which the circumstances of this country required, and which, practically speaking, could only, with all their faults and backslidings, be undertsken and accom plished by a reconstructed Tory party." Of " Vivian Grey," Mr. Disraeli says :—" It is essen tially a puerile work, but it has baffled even the efforts of its creator to suppress it. Its fate has been strange ; and not the least remarkable thing is, that forty-four years after its first publication I must ask the indulgence of the reader for its continued and inevitable reappear. ance." MR. lIIBBERT, M.P., ON TRADES' UNIONS. On Monday evening a public meeting was held in the Co-operative Hall, Oldham, for the purpose of promoting a scheme for the erection of a Trades' Hall and a social clubhouse. The chair was taken by Mr. J. T. Hibbert, M.P. The Chairman said that it seemed as if this question almost branched into two subjects. The trades' union question, as it was called, and the advantage of clubs such as they proposed to erect in that town. In respect to trades' unions, the more they were brought to light and the more their position was legalised, the better it would be for this country and for those who were connected with unions. The unions did exist, and it would be impossible to suppose that it would be in the power of Parliament to put them out of existence. What he thought was the best course to pursue was to give them a legalised existence. It was unfair that such societies as a whole should be blamed for what might be done by a few persons in different parts of the country ; but he was sure of this, that the advantages of such a hall as they proposed to erect were so great that it ought to receive the support of their fellow worldng men, and from every class in that town. He could not suppose that they would erect a trades' hall and club house as they proposed without its being the means of their elevation in many ways, morally and mentally, and that it would give them the opportunity of meeting to gether in a social way, which they were now unable to do. It would enable them to meet together without being called upon, when they met for business, to take drink. He was sure of this, that the more a man who was engaged in trade as a working man and an artisan became intelligent and educated the less they would see of those unseemly strikes between employer and employed, and the less they would also see of those unfortunate pro ceedings which had taken place at Sheffield and else where. Some forty or fifty years ago, when the steam loom was introduced the hand-loom weaver naturally felt that his occupation was almost gone, and he set to work—ignorant, no doubt, he was—with the intention of breaking these machines. . These poor weavers by hard work, only earned Bs. or 9s. a w e ek, y e t w h en the steam loom had got to work their children were enabled by its means to earn from 15s. to 20s. per week, and a much greater number were employed than ever it was pos sible to employ before. But in addition these improve ments had the advantage of benefitting the entire population of the country. He believed that the more scientific the workman and the more scientific the business in which he was engaged, the more that workman would be anxious to see the im provement of his machine, because he knew that it would lighten his labour and aid productions. He thought with respect to even the commonest kind of em ployments, such as brickmaking and employments of that nature, which really made a man almost a slave, that it would be ultimately for the benefit of the workman if he agreed to the introductiun of machinery. Every man must be willing to work with a machine as an educated trained man, much more than being made the slave to do the work which the machine would do for him. STORMS IN THE ATLANTlC.—lntelligence has reached Liverpool of the loss of the ship J. S. de Wolf, Captain Spain, which left that port on the 29th of August last with a general cargo for Philadelphia. On the morning of the sth inst. she was seen with signals of distress flying, by the Wisconsin, one of the Guion line of steamers, which bore down to her assist ance. The J. S. de Wolf was then in a crippled condition, owing to the very heavy weather which she had encountered, and both her maintopmast and foretopgallantyard had been carried away. A boat's crew from the Wisconsin attempted to get on board the ship, but were prevented doing so by the tremendous sea which was running. Subsequently her captain and the crew, eighteen in number, were fortunately saved by being hauled on board the Wisconsin with lines and lifebuoys. The J. S. de Wolf was sinking rapidly when she was abandoned. The barque Waver, bound from Antwerp to New York, is supposed to have gone down with. all on board, as no intelli gence has been received of her since the 23d of July, when she passed Beachy Head. The Ruby, bound to St. John's, New Brunswick, was greatly damaged in a hurricane on the sth inst., and became unmanageable, but her crew were saved by the steamer Virgo and taken to New York. The brig Executive, bound from Bangor to Port-au-Prince, en countered terrific gales on the 17th of September and sth instant, and was so disabled that she was abandoned, her crew being rescued and taken into N orfolk by the schooner F. Sheppard. The barque George W. Jones, which had ar rived at New York, rep or t e d h av i ng boarded, on the 12th of October, in lat. 47 30, long. 43, the British bark Black Swan, timber laden. Her fore and wizen masts weregone, her hold was full of water, no boats were • on board, and the crew had disappeared, nothing being known respecting them. LAW AND POLICE. ALLEGED EXTEFSIVE FRAUDS BY A COUNT.-At- the Central Criminal Court, Thomas Arthur, a well dressed young man, was indicted with Ernest, Count De Lusada, for conspiring to obtain two sums of £lOO and t'9o respec tively from David Forrest. Lusada did not appear, and his recogniances were estreated. The case for the prose cution, as appeared in the opening statement, was as follows : Mr. Forrest the prosecutor undertook to sell 2,000 rifles for a Mr. Mappin, and after negotiations had taken place the rifles were sold husada, who gave ao ceptances for them. These bills were signed "T. Arthur and C 0.," with the prisoner's address in Paris. Mr. Forrest believed that to be the signature of T. Arthur and Co., the agents to the Embassy at Paris. Ou it being ascertained that this was not the case, Lusada and the prisoner were apprehended and taken to the Mansion House, but in the absence of a material witness the Lord Mayor dismissed the case. —The case for the prosecution entirely broke down, and the prisoner was acquitted. - - THE LIBEL ON AN UNDERWRITER. —At the Central Criminal Court, before the Recorder, Cornelius Walford, a barrister-at-law and a journalist, was indicted - for pub lishing an alleged libel on Arthur Bower • Forwood and James Russell Ross, and by another count the accused was charged with publishing the libels knowing them to be false. Mr. Metcalfe was counsel for the defendant, and Mr. Serjeant Parry for the prosecutor. The accused on being called on pleaded guilty to the publication.—Mr. Metcalfe said his client was editor of the Insurance Times, and he published 'the libel on information which at the time he believed to be true, but which he had found out was not so. Messrs. Forwood and Ross had every opportunity of denying the allegations when the case was before the magistrate at. the Mansion House. Mr. Walford was exceedingly sorry for having published the libel, and was desirous of expressing his most unfeigned regret.—Serjeant Parry said his client, Mr. Forwood, was the member of an old established firm at Liverpool, and had -carried on business for three quarters of a century. He was managing director of the West India Steam Company, and an underwriter at Lloyd's. Mr. Ross was also an underwriter. Imme diately the libel appeared they took proceedings against the defendant. Since he had been committed for trial they learned that :11r. Walford had been a great sufferer. He had been compelled to resign an appointment, the newspaper - had ceased to exist, and there were circumstances of a domes tic nature that he would not touch on. Under the circum stances the prosecutors would be satisfied if the defendant were allowed to go at large on his own recognisances. The Recorder said the libel was of such a character that the prosecutors were bound to take proceedings. The defendant had - done all he could as a gentleman to repair the damage done by him. The defendant was then released on his own recognisance to appear if called on to do so. CHARGE OF BRIBING Two DETECTIVES.—At the Old Bailey William Gale and Thomas Stewart were charged with bribing two detectives of the E division, named Carter and Chamb t r l a i n . M r . P o l an d , f or the Treasury, prosecuted, and briefly opened the case. He said that Gale, who was churchwarden of the parish he resided in, was committed for trial at the Middlesex Sessions on a charge of receiving some stolen brass. He was liberated on bail, and, whilst waiting to surrender, he and Stewart, who was a friend of his, were in a publichouse. and there met with the two detectives. Some conversa tion passed and in the end the prisoner offered to give the constable £5O if they would "get Gale off." Chamber. lain received £lO at the time and reported the affair to his superior officer, who told him to keep his appointment with the accused and receive the remainder of the money. The appointment was kept and the prisoners given into custody. The jury after a short deliberation acquitted the prisoners. THE ALBERT LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY,—In the Chambers of Vice-Chancellor Bacon, a summons, emanating from the official liquidators of this society, was heard before the Chief Clerk, it being for the purpose of taking the directions of Lord Justice James as to the particular mode in which should be carried out the order made by his lordship during last term on a petition for the reconstruction of the company. The reconstruction committee, the Western, Medical, and Family Endowment Societies, as well as the Bank of London, were represented on the summons. Mr. Musgrove, who appeared for the liquidator, stated that the Lord Justice ordered that during the vacation meetings of the directors, shareholders and pollcy holders of the seve r al compan i es should be held in London for the purpose of enabling them to express their approval or disapproval of the scheme. That order had not as yet been carried out, however, in consequence of the inability of the liquidator to devise any satisfactory basis on which the meet ings should proceed, and under those circumstances there was no alternative but to apply to his lordship for directions as to the carrying out of the order. The Chief Clerk remarked that he was powerless to make an order on the summonf. If, however, the liquidator could obtain the consent of his lordship, who heard the petition as Lord Justice, and not as Vice- Chancellor, to decide upon the summons, he would ad journ it for that purposr. THE LAND CREDIT COMPANY OF IRELAND.—In ViCe- Chancellor Bacon's chambers, the case of this company, which is being wound up, and the liabilities of which amount to several hundred thousand pounds, was brought before the chief clerk, ou a summons by the trustees of the Bank of Vienna, who were alleged to have been transferees of shares of the value of £lOO,OOO within twelve months prior to the presentation of the petition, and to be therefore still liable to the company in respect of the shares. The chief clerk postponed the summons for the production of affidavits pro. and con. DARING ROBBERY OF OIL PAINTINGS. Frederick Johnson, a Militiaman, was brought up at Bow-street, before Mr. Vaughan, on remand, charged with being con cerned in the following impudent robbery. The prisoner's wife bad been left in charge of a house in Kensington-road, occupied by Mr. Billam, while that gentleman and his family paid a short visit to Brighton. During their absence the police found the front door open late in the evening, and, on entering, saw that it had been ransacked. Mr. Billam was immediately communicated with, and, on his arrival, he discovered that articles, including a num ber of oil paintings to the value of £3OO, had been taken away, while other things were packed up ready for re moval. It was subsequently found that the missing articles had been pledged at various places by, it was sup posed, the prisoner's wife, whose whereabouts has not been traced. It was proved that Johnson had slept iu the house previous to the robbery, but the magistrate did not consider the evidence sufficient to convict, and discharged him. MARKED MEN. —Two old men, who were described by by a detective as having been for years well•kuown skittle and card sharpers, who never did any work, were tried at the Middlesex Sessions, for stealing Vis from a foreigner. Mr. Sergeant Cox said they must be imprisoned for the longest term the law allowed—two years. A DISHONEST SON.—James Clarke, aged 19 years, a journeyman baker, was brought before Mr. Paget, at the Thames ,Police.court, on remand, charged with stealing 95., the money of James Clarke, sen., his father, a master baker, carrying on business in Baker-street, Commercial road, St. George-in-the-East. The magistrate expressed great reluctance to go into the charge on Monday morn ing, put it back several honrs, and appealed to Mr. Clarke whether he would prosecute his own son. He then said that necessity compelled him, for his son had robbed him so repeatedly that he should be ruined if he did not make an example of him. The case, after several more inffectual efforts were made,was proceeded with, and Mr. Clarke said he should be sorr y if hi s son was punished severely. He wished to send him to an asylum or reforma tory, and to pay for his maintenance there. He had been robbed five times in a few weeks. On Sunday there was £l2 on the table in his parlour; He saw his son coming away from it with something in his hand, which was closed. After some resistance he opened the youth's hand, and took 9s. from it, which he showed to Mrs. Clarke, and said " James, you have robbed me again." Mr. Paget asked the prisoner if he would put any questions to his father. The prisoner : " No. I say, father, mind you feed my rabbits ; don't forget them." George Porter, police-constable 149 K, said he took the prisoner to the station-house. His mother said to him, Are you not ashamed of yourself ?" The prisoner said "No,' and asked for his dinner, which his father brought to the station-house, where the prisoner made some admis sions to the acting inspector, Stimpson, 21 K. Mr. Paget said he should like to see Stimpson and the mother of the prisoner. He remanded the prisoner. Stimpson, a police sergeant, No. 21 K, said he knew the prosecutor to be a most respectable man, who had treated his son with great indulgence and affection. The lad in the Station-house said " I took the money or I stole it s " I forget which. Mr. Paget : You. are quite right in saying that if you are not certain what he said.. Is the prisoner's mother in attendance ? Stimpson : No, sir, she is not. Mr. Paget : Discharge the prisoner. The youth left the dock laughing at his father. The prisoner ip a reckless idle fellow, and has been treated too kindly by his parents. DEFALCATIONS BY A TREASURER OF A TRADE SOCIETY.— At the Manchester City Police-court, before Mr. Head lam, stipendiary magistrate, an elderly man, named William Dunn late secretary and treasurer of the Society of Tin-plate 'Workers, was charged with having embezzled £270 belonging to the society. A letter was put in in which the prisoner admitted extensive defalcations, and stating that if legal proceedings were taken he s h ou ld plead guilty. He attributed his irregularities to hi s goo d nature. The prisoner was remanded. GREAT SPREAD OF THE CATTLE PLAGUE.-2118 cattle plague is spreading more and more in France, and ma ki n g great ravages. It is feared it will extend all over the North in the track of the German armies. The Bel gians are very uneasy. In Germany, stringent measures are being taken • and neither man nor b east is allowed to pass out of the infected districts without passing through a process of disinfecti - m. The importation of cattle from the Steppes is absolutely prohibited, and for the supply of the armies only meat slaughtered in its own districts is used. In Transylvania, the disease still rages. Unfortunatly in France the war prevents the adoption of effective measures ; and thus the disease has its own way.
