Ilis MAJESTY has addressed a letter to the Minister of the Interior, 111. DE LAVALLETTE, dated August the 15th, which is in every respect worthy of attention and consideration. It refers to the improvements that are wanted in the " means of communication," and their prompt completion is earnestly desired by the EgrEnon, since lie considers them to be one of the surest signs of increasing the strength and the riches of France ; and, as he truly otmecves, with great force of expression, eve' y whet e the " number and good condition of the ro ids is oue of the most certain signs of the ad vanced state of the civilisation of peoples." In Lothing has the Emperor NAPOLEON shown himself to be more the friend of France than in the manner in which he has taken up the task of improving the country. Paris under his auspices has rapidly im proved in every respect, and, indeed, all over the Country may be seen trac .s of the energy with which his master-mind has directed operations, and imparted an impulse to the works that are renovat ing and restoring the condition of things. Instruc tions have been given to the Ilinitter of Public TIIE SUN. JAEN UON, AION ork Y EV ENING, AUGUST 19 1867. Works to continue the examination of the dii Terent sion two resolutionsepassed almost u that nanimou this sly. lines of railway, and to seek out the best means The first declared i w n er explicit terms " of improving the canals and the n aligation i meeting refuses to make victims of any of the mem of rivers, which are here called "modifying counter- I bers of the Society of Sawgrinders, by expelling - poises to railway monopoly." This is one of those them on account of their con admirable phases in which the illustrious writer so rages recently inquired into EAD !at SheffielThe d i.dea " Misaan ke g reatly excels, and by means of which he can always victims of men like BROADH make his meaning clearly understood, while: at the original one, when every one knows that if he had same time he conveys to his hearers the ultimate not obtained his certificate of indemnity he would intentions of the changes designated, and they are be standing in the dock ! But the resolution, able to realise the full effect of this or that pro- which is a very long one, goes on to say that they posal. Nothing could possibly be truer thau this decline going into any lustification of the things done description, and one of the EMPEROR'S discernment beyond assenting that they are effects of a cause, must naturally feel most anxious to counteract by " the want of properly regulated legislative mea every means in his power the injurious influences of sures, binding mn in some degree to what is this monopoly o f railwa y s. All that can in any de- honourable, just, e and good." Ile will be a very gr ee arrest the course o r chan g e the directions of such clever statesman who devises such a mea sure as powers must be held as a social benefit, and i that. We havealready enactments against thef t,mur well wishes to the community must hail their der, arson, conspiracy, perjary,and inmuchtimi dat effect in ion, but a d op ti o n, and foster their developme nt with might they do not seem to have produced an d main. Sh (field. elt has often been said that you ca nnot make men religious or moral by Act of Parliament ; _MIk. -•1"'"6 ►t be " Our efforts," says the EMPEROR, " must DO , confined to these tasks alone, and hence we find that he desires to pursue his result of improvement in other directions. The Agricultural Commission has, it appears, shown in an unmistakeable manner that it is most important for the prosperity of the country that a complete " network of parish roads should be constructed." This is an essential condi tion to the wellbeing of those rural populations who have always exhibited so much devotion to the EMPEROR, as he takes care to acknowledge in this letter. " Preoccupied with the realisation of this project," the EMPEROR had already instructed the Minister of the Interior to consider, in conjunction with the Minister of Finance, a series of measures which might allow the termination, within ten years, of the network of Parisian roads, by the aid of the State, the departments, and the communes. But in addition to this triple concurrence theEMPEnoR has sought to facilitate the means by which the corn-, munes can participate in the expense, and had therefore requested the Minister to arrange a special fund to be devoted to the purpose of advancing the necessary sums by means of loans granted at a mo derate rate, and repayable at long periods. No doubt this is the best plan to meet the exigencies of the case, and its adoption will tend to remove many difficulties from the way. After expressing his approval of the note which had been addressed to him by M. LAVALETTE, the EM PEROR goes on to say that there are some important questions to examine, and the Minister in question must collect together means of information at once " precise and complete." The Municipal Councils will, by their deliberations, form the " point of de parture" in this work; but the EMPEROR, with right feeling, desires that a large part in the investiga tion " may be left to the members of those depart mental assemblies with whose patriotism and devotion he is acquainted, and whose concurrence he knows will not fail him." This confidence is well placed, and the proof of it thus signally afforded cannot fail to have due effect upon those concerned. It is very suitable that these assem blies should have full opportunity afforded to them of exercising their judgment and expressing their views in respect to these charges which so inti mately concern them. The more free and unli mited is the power conferred the more lasting is the work likely to be that is done ; and the more genial the feeling with which the work is un dertaken the better for all concerned, either directly or indirectly. The EMPEROR concluded his remarkable letter by expressing his confidence in the " enlightened zeal and energetic activity of M. DE LAV kLETTE, and trusts that, at the next sitting of the Legislative Body, a bill may be laid 1 efore it, which will insure the execution of this work," the realisation of which he has so much at heart. In accordance with the wishes of the Im perial letter, M. LANALETTE has already pub lished a report alluding to the execution of the measures proposed in the communication ; and a Ministerial decree has also appeared, con voking the Municipal Councils during the early part of September, in order that they may revise the classification of the parish roads. Thus the matter will not be allowed to decay, and we may congratulate the French upon having the prospect of improvement in so important a direction. It has long been a reproach to our neighbours that they cared more for show than for substance, and gave, less heed to sold and substantial wants than they did to superficial. Mistrust seems likely to be now done away with. It was said of an Emperor of old that he found Rome brick and left it marble ; and although this cannot be literally applied to the Emperor NAPOLEON, he will leave France very dif ferent in many respects from what he found it, and these improvements are likely to record the most momentous memorial of his reign, as they certainly redound to his credit, and prove his interest in the people. if we required any proof of the dangerous ten dency of Trades' Union principles we should as suredly find it in the conduct of the Sheffield saw grinders. Those who incline to the opinions of the Unionists, who regard all the relations between labour and capital as a warfare between recognised enemies, who accept the doctrine that the interests of the union should be paramount to every other consideration, were very indignant because the public common sense blamed all the members of the Union for the offences proved against a few. it Was not credible that men should be shot down in the street, should be maimed for life, should have their houses blown up in the very middle of a large town without the events attracting some attention. As these men were invariably known to be offenders against the Union laws, it could not require much penetration on the part of their fellow-workmen to attribute their misfortunes to the right source. Many of the members of the Union may have been ignorant of the full extent to which the iniquities were carried, but they could only have been so ignorant from shutting their eyes and wilfully refusing to discover what they did not wish to know. At the same time it is not a little surpris ing to find the hardihood and indifference evinced by the unions whose names have been disgraced by he recent disclosures. The unanimous condetnna ion of all who are not absolutely blinded by poli- Acal prejudice is powerless against them. The censures passed upon them by the press, not of England alone, but of France and America, fall careless on their ears. They assume the airs of martyrs for the public good, and look confidently to the interference of the Legislature on behalf of their interests. It will scarcely be believed by many readers that BrtoADnEAD and CROOKES, whose names have become bye-words through their own revelations, are still retained as members of the Sawgrinders' Union, which body refuse to dismiss them The London Trades' Council, it seems, having a better idea of the estimation in which these men were held out of their own circle, passed a resolution a short time since, expressing astonishment, which they well might feel, that BROADHEAD and CROOKES were still members of the Union, and declaring that they will hold no com munication with it while these men remain in con nection with it. Upon receiving this intimation the Sheffield sawgriuders hid a full trade, meeting in the Temperance Hall, at which, after a long discus- plan would involve a new war against Prussia. One need not fear that it would be called a hazard ous opinion to aflirm that Prussia would risk war to the uttermost, in order to prevent the success of such a policy. The correspondent of the Debats is not deceived upon this point. It is clearly to be seen that he considers war to be inevitable; should he be correct in regard to the policy of the Cabinet of Vienna." The Empress has left Paris to meet the Emperor at the camp of Chalons. The Emperor afterwards went to Salzbourg to see the Emperor of Austria. As at present arranged their Majesties will return to Paris on Tuesday. The cholera still prevails in Italy to a fearful extent. At Palermo, on the 9th inst., the number of cases was 405, and of deaths 278. On the 10th the number of cases decreased to 312, and the deaths to 213. On the 10th, at midday, there were 260 cases, and 162 deaths. The cholera has made many victims in the small town of Albano, but it is beginning to diminish. The ravages were among illustrious personages as well as the poor. The Queen Dowager of Naples and the Princess Colonna died from this terrible malady, and since that the Cardinal Bishop of Albona, Prince Altieri, has been carried off by it. He was 62. The latter, on hearing of the invasion of the disease, came with most heroic promptitude for Rome, and at the head of his clergy went everywhere, in order to render every assistance in his power. Such apostolic zeal and devotion have excited great enthusiasm. Cardinal Prince Altieri, almost to the moment when struck by death, visited the sick and gave them encouragement and consolation. In this good work he was aided by the Cardinal di Pietro, who was equally zealous. The Pontifical Zouaves, who are in garrison at Albano, also exhibited the most courageous devotion. A despatch from Frankfort states that a terrible fire broke out at two o'clock in the morning in the cathedral of that city. The vestry and several adjoining houses were completely destroyed. There are three deaths to deplore. The Queen of Prussia, who is at present at Coblentz, on hearing the dis aster, sent a telegram to the director of police of Frankfort, in which her Majesty expressed her ex treme regret at the occurrence. The murderess Frigard continues to exhibit per fect coolness and indifference in regard to her crime and her situation. Immediately after the sentence she was reconducted to her cell in the prison at Melun, where, according to the usual regulations, she had to change her attire and put on the prison dress. Madame Ledoux, the wife of the director of the prison, shed tears and was much excited at see ing one of her own sex in such a position, and, knowing her to be condemned for so terrible a crime, nearly fainted. The prisoner, however, was as calm as possible, and said to Madame Ledoux " What is the matter with you ?" at the same time smiling as she ever seemed to be according to the witnesses. " Recover yourself ; lam calm ; feel my pulse ;" she added, holding out her arm ; " it does not beat more quickly than it did this morning." In the course of the trial the prisoner took many uotes of the evidence upon a paper which she passed to her counsel, who returned it as soon as he had read the contents. This paper was found afterwards in the cell which the prisoner occupied, and affords a strong proof of the prisoner's coolness and power of argumentation. Points of the evidence were analysed with searching discrimination. For in stance, Dr. Bergevon gave some explanations in regard to the manner in which ho supposed the murder had been committed. He imagined that a double pressure had been exercised on the chest and throat, and said he had made an experiment upon a dog to test the accuracy of this hypothesis. In reference to this the prisoner wrote on her paper, " Madame Mertens wore a pair of stays of excellent workman ship, and made up with strong whalebone. Ask the doctor if to press upon stays of this kind it would not be necessary to use much more powerful strength than mine. Ask him also if, when he made the experiment upon the unfortunate dog, he put stays upon the animal." In reference to another deposition, this lively murderess actually perpetrated a calembourg, a play upon words. The mother of the unfortunate widow said that a Monsieur Thomiere was one of the most constant visitors of the deceased, and the prisoner wrote upon the paper, " Yes, she said Thome bier, as if the expression had the meaning of Thome yesterday, Thome aujourdhin, Thome demain—that is to say, Thome yesterday, Thome to-day, Thome to-morrow ; there was too much of him." The Emperor and Em p ress will arrive at Li lle, to be present at the g rand f ete which I have men tioned, on the afte rnoon o f the 26 th of August .

There will be banquets, illuminations, and various showy and im posing ceremonies. The weather continues very hot and seasonable, but there are still indications of a coming storm. A very curious atmospherical phenomenon took place a few nights ago in the arrondissement of Grasse. The thermometer suddenly descended to several degrees below zero, although it had been very sultry in the day. The gutters and fountains were frozen as in January. Indeed, the ice was thicker than at any time last winter. The corn, haricots, potatoes , and fruits which were touched b y the frost have all p erished. A siniiliar occurrence the month of took place in in the year 4 same B. locality in Th e explosion at Borde aux was even more serio us than was supposed. 13,.!eides the killed—seven in number-112 were more or less in jured. the but the sawgrinders dissent from this doctrine, as they do from all doctrines that throw the respon sibility of a man's acts upon himself, and not upon others. It may be observed that in all their de mands from the Legislature these would-be Re formers are most carefully vague, " properly regu lated measures," " giving labour due consideration," " rights," " justice," " equity,"—all such words are constantly current, but they avoid any precise intimation of what the nature of those measures is to be. Unless they stipulate that the men shall fix the amount of wages instead of the master, and that the master shall be bound under heavy legal penalties to obey all the rules of the union, we do not see much chance of satisfying the sawgrinders. But let us see in what light Messrs. BROADIIEAD and CRooKES are regarded by their maligned fel lows, who were supposed to be horror-stricken by the extent of their sins. They are " men who have taken upon themselves the task of risking their lives and their liberties for what they believed to be the good of the institution ;" and the meeting indig nantly disclaimed, as a libel upon the so ciety, the statement that Mr. BROADHEAD had been reinstated as a member because he was never e f f ro t n h l e a L ll e 'a g e is ts . n a d resolution, recom mendinge 0 expelled pe l violencel ed! a l lAi Trades' After eithiswaiting g t n h f io e orn s a e o ot the a b :t t i oa in lature, fallsquite powerless. Such conduct as BROAD HEAD and CrtooKts's must either be stigmatised by the strongest language of horror and indignation, or passed by altogether. It is not possible to give faint blame to so atrocious a system, and if we are, as the sawgrinders tell us, to attribute the offences to the whole Union, the sooner such a body is broken up the better, for the semi-savages on the very outskirts of civilisation know better than to tolerate murder. But Mr. BROADHEAD'S popularity in Sheffield is not confined to members of his own union. On the hero's return from the meeting we have referred to he found a deputation awaiting him. They were non-unionists, who, not being able to obtain admission into the old union, thought of forming a society of their own, and were looking out for an experienced director. BROADIIEAD seemed to them a likely man, and fully expecting that he would be expelled his own society they hastened to in vite him to take the management of theirs. So that, so far from the men of Sheffield having been shamed into a better state of feeling here is a new society going to be formed on the worst principles of the old ! BROADHEAD de clined the honour, and advised the deputation to wait for an opportunity of joining all the saw grinders in one body. Assuredly public morality among the working men of Sheffield must be at a very low ebb, and the inferences to be drawn from these facts is not very flattering to our national con dition. It is easy enough to understand the motives of such men as CROOKES, BROADHEAD, and the others. Unscrupulous and low-minded, they were actuated by the very common motives of greed for money and love of power, and their patriotic devotion to the rights of labour, " their risking of life and liberty," resolves itself under one or other of these heads. They took very good care of their lives and liberties at the expense of the " institution " when tt‘tvhhoceenr tongues u e un c e nos e p s s odef i ow t cn y dob weat gunpowder did : ds tywhe ' l l edl io h r e fbwey w ae rreefkaedkawiertre. might n hhn etdabrsbeoi bullets h n lne d t t hem turneir the next.the circle wanting a to re g w e e t t i n o apasr nithinknt and lea epi lrl o ee f leset. n ai n e d w geTr u n e e h n a out a o n f as ha ve n e BROADHEAD mere e forf the hceh high e he h Le on t es ti ty s and good feeling of our working men, for all their boasted mental progress, has been only backwards so long as they can tolerate such doings. 711 E A 7 LAN? IC CABLES. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. It must have appeared extraordinary to those who have watched the condition of the submarine tele graphicl 8 lines connecting cable,onnect which wasingEurope with America that while the picked up from the depths of the ocean after it was thought it had been irremediably lost has since its junction with America remained intact, that of 1866 has been ruptured twice. The explanation of this is, however, exceedingly simple. It appears that when the shore end of the 1866 cable was being laid from the Great Eastern the vessel was in a fog, and unfortunately this part of the line was laid over a shoal patch, about 40 fathoms in depth, so that the ice berg's which so constantly - occur in that region , reaching, as they often do, to the bottom, cut the cable. The wire has been completely repaired, but it has been resolved u p on t o raise the shore end of it as soon as move it to a deeper c h anne l. Meanwhile, w ith a view possible from its presen t bed and re to more perfect communication between Europe and the United States, the ship Chiltern, which had been commissioned by the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance C om pany, sailed o n Tuesda y last with the tel e g ra phi c wires, of the materials of which we gave an account some time ago, which are to be laid from Placentia, in N ewfoundland, to the island of St. Pierre, on the Gulf of St. Lawrence. She carries 320 m il e s of wire, which is packed in new water-tight tanks. There is no doubt that until perfect telegraph ic communica tion is established between Europe and the United States in such a manner as to avoid adopting the assistance of the land lines in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland our correspondence will be subjected to the interrup tions by which it has been so often retarded during the past year. With a view, however, to tem porarily remedying the evil it is contemplated to establish throughout Nova Scotia a series of land lines from Sydney, via Halifax, to the United States and Canada ; should these fail during the winter, and there is no doubt that they will have to bear the brunt of snow storms and sustain the weight of superincumbent ice, it will become absolutely necessary to lay submarine lines between Halifax and Boston in 1868. A Franco-Ame rican com p an y is, we understand, in course of form ation, with the object of laying a submarine cable from Ushant to Boston, so that it will be advisable for us to take such measures as will obviate the necessity of avail ing ourselves of the new projected line. This is not a subject, however, in which Englishmen alone are interested, the whole world will dotibtles have more or less Anxiety for its success. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) ITALY. FIIORENCE, Aug. 17.

The financial measures proposed by the Govern ment passed the second reading in the Chamber of Deputies on the 22d, and will probably pass the third reading by the end of the month, so that the discussion in the Senate will commence at the beginning of August. In the Chamber of Deputies the Cabinet h:s.ve a large majority, but in, the Senate they are at the mercy of their political adversaries, the ConserTa fives and the Radicals. P, has always been a principle with the Senate not to deny the Cabinet the means to govern the country, but it is yet doubtful if that Chamber will consider the authorisation to issue paper money as the only means left Government to pay the ex penses of the war and the necessary bills in circula tion in case the bearers exact payment. The proposal which authorises the Emperor to admit into the Council of State the Imperial Princess and the Prince her consort passed the third reading in the Senate, despite the efforts of Government, but as their majority is large in the Deputies it will most probably fall in the Lower House, or perhaps be sent to a committee, who would, it is believed, never sit on the subject. Dates from Paraguay reach to the Bth inst. Both the army and the fleet were ready for battle, and were awaiting only the word of the Commander-in- Chief, which was momentarily expected, when very heavy rains set in, and compelled the Marquis of Caxias to adjourn active opera tions for a few days, as the ground became so much soaked as to render the march of our army a very difficult affair. With respect to the plan of the attack there are many conjectures more or less plausible. As the fleet would have to co-operate with the army, it was by many supposed that the ironclads would force the passage of Curupaity to shell Ilumaita, compelling the Paraguayans to attend to that point. Others affirm that the ships would pass llumaita, to protect a division of 5,000 men which march along the Chaco, cross the river above llumaita, and attack the Paraguayan lines in the rear, and thus cut off the retreat of Lopez's army. Curuzu has been entirely abandoned, and the fleet can prevent the Paraguayans occupying the posi tion, which is exposed to a raking fire from the river. REMARKABLE ESCAPE OF A PRISONEII.—One o: the prisoners from the Winchester County Gaol, whoiae name was Neale, was ou Thursday last engaged in spade labour, under charge of a warder, outside the prison. It happened that Mr. Coxwell's balloon, which had ascended from Southampton, passed close over the ancient city, and attracted of course much attention. Among others, the warder watched the unusual visitant with close inrerest. When the balloon had passed the warder turned to his charge, but he had passed too. The shrewd follow had taken the opportunity to escape, and has not since been traced. THE FALL OF A FLAGSTAFF.—The jury who as sembled at Plymouth on Saturday to inquire into the cause of the death of Joseph Avery, which occurred on Thers day by the hill of a flagstaff in front of the Royal Western Yacht Club, returned a verdict of accidental death, coupled with the obser ration that they considered that a flagstaff Glit. long ought to have been stepped in the ground Eft. and not ',in., ifl at the flagstaff in question. Mr. John Ed monds, the coroner, stated that he concurred in the very proper comment which the jury had made. The members of the club are raising a handsome donation for the parents of Avery. HEAVY RAINS IN YORKSHIRE.—MaIton, Satur day.—The immense rains of Thursday night, which reached 1.69 in. at Mahon, and at the moor base 2.51 in., have caused the North Riding moors to assume the aspect of a winter flood. Up to the time of writing, however, they had not overflowed. The I.lolbeck, however, did not over flow on Friday, and the flat country of the Vale of Mow bray, cornfields and grass about Gilliug particularly, was under water. The rainfall has been greatest on the ' eastern side of the Vale of York, and on the great North of England line, in tho neighbourhood of Tollerton, the fields were flooded and cattle were driver off. Rain fell heavily CIA §iturchy• CORRESPONDENCE PROM PARIS (FROM OUP. OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. The papers to-day discuss with earnestness, and some with a degree of apprehension, the probable results of the coming conference between the Em- peror Napoleon and the Emperor of Austria. There is little reason to doubt that politics are much mixed up with this interview. A Vienna corres- pondent of the Journal des Debuts, who seems to be well informed, mentions several. points which the two Monarchs will have under consideration, but they all resolve into the one important idea, that Austria is determined, or desires, to regain her power and influence in Germany. Upon this sub ject the Siecle says : " The interview at Salzburg between the Em peror of the French and the Emperor of Austria is the great political fact of the moment. The public in Germany are more occupied with it than the people of France. We have already given our reasons, drawn from the present position of Austria, for thinking it doubtful that Power wishes to make formal engagements with the view to an active policy. Her internal position seems to re quire abstention and peace. " Would it be legitimate to found upon this basis interpretations of too confident a character respect ing the possible results of the interview at Salzburg? We think not. For several years past European policy has resulted in events quite opposite to those which were foreseen by statesmen of the greatest reputation and experience. How few persons, for instance, believed that Austria would carry folly so far as to expose her situation in Germany to certain ruin, in order to satisfy the vain pride of not surrendering Venice without fighting for it ? How few persons also were there who believed that the French Government, on its part, would have such little foresight as to contemplate, with her arms ready, the triumphs of Prussia, without being previously assured of serious guarantee, in com pensation for a neutrality which was almost equal to active assistance ? The facts 1-vcomplished have contradicted the most probable anticipation. This recent experience, therefore, ought to make us cautious of hazarding predictions." Among the views of the correspondent of the Journal des Debuts he gives reasons for arguing that Austria has already regained in Southern Germany, in Wurtemburg, for instance, and in Bavaria, a great portion of the influence which she lost last year. Austria, therefore, becoming more confident in the sympathy of a portion of Germany, Austrian policy would seek to form a Confederation of Southern Germany, having ever it the same in fluence as Prussia over the Confederation of the North. The Siecle, in commenting upon these assump tions, says :—" One need not be endowed with inuch perception to understand that the realisation of this CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) The August sessions of the Central Criminal Court commenced this morning. The calendar con tains the names of no fewer than 121 male and 29 female prisoners. It does not contain a single charge of wilful murder. The indictments against the persons charged with illegal conduct connected with the tailors'strikc will also be tried; but with the exception of the above cases the offenders charged are of the ordinary description. Martin Minus surrendered to an indictment, charging him with stealing an order for the pay ment of the sum of £59 4s. 10d., the property of Thomas Southey, his master. The indictment also further charged the defendant with feloniously altering and uttering the same, with intent to de fraud. From the evidence it appeared that certain words were written across the cheque, requesting that it might be paid in cash without the initials of the drawer, which was not in accordance with the usual practice. There were circumstances connected with the transaction which rendered it possible that the cheque might have come into the prisoner's posses sion in the state in which it was, previous to its payment at the bank, without his being aware that the crossing had been improperly altered. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, adding to their verdict that they considered a great over• sight had been committed by the bankers in paying a cheque without the usual words written thereon, and without the initials . of the drawer being attached thereto. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. 11013 BING A JEWELLER.—Thomas Scanes, a man with several aliases, was charged with stealing a diamond pin from the shop of Mr. Propaze, jeweller, New Bond-street. The prisoner went into the shop of the prosecutor and asked to see an opal pin, but there being none of the kind desired by the prisoner, ho was shown another, and was to call again. A few days afterwards the pin shown the pri soner was missed: and it turned out ho had exchanged it for another to Mr. Johnson, of the firm of Messrs. Johnson and Walker in the City. Sergeant Cole, an experienced officer of the C division, who knew of the prisoner's ante cedents, it appears, had been watching him for some time, and in consequence made_ inquiries, which led to the pro secutors finding that they had been robbed of the pin in questich, and Sergeant Colo succeeded in taking the pri soner into custody. Mr. Propazo, 'jun., and Mr. Nelson, in Mr. Propaze's employ, identified the prisoner as the person A ho called at the shop. Mr. Troggatt said he should call Sergeant Cole to prove a former conviction, and then ask for a remand, a fresh charge having just come to light.. There were several other charges against the prisoner, but they were in the City. Sergeant Cole proved apprehending the prisoner, in consequence of what had come to his knowledge, at Pen tonville. On his being placed with others, he was identi fied by the persons from Mr. Propaze's. The prisoner had been convicted several times, and he was convicted at the Middlesex Sessions, with others, and was liberated about the 2d May, his term not expiring till November, but di rectly he was out he was concerned in a robbery. His sentence was four years' imprisonment. Another case against the prisoner was then gone into, for stealing two watches from the shop of Mr. Muller Hanway-street, about two months ago. The prisoner went into the shop and asked to s6o a lady's watch, and was shown one, and he left, saying he would call again, and directly he was gone the watches were missed. The prisoner was committed for trial. THAMES. A DESPERATE FELLOW.—BASTARDY ARREARS.--William Hayhow, a beersellor, 37, Penton-street, Pentonville, was brought before Mr. Benson on a warrant charged with neglecting to pay the sum of £1 12s. 6d. to Charlotte Sell, who affiliated an illegitimate child upon him on the 25th of May last. Tho complainant said that Mr. Partridge ordered the prisoner to pay 2s. 6d. per week for the support of his child, and he was now 13 weeks in arrear. Benjamin Stubbings, No. 111 11, an officer of the court, said ho went to the prisoner's beer-house on Friday night last, and told him he had a warrant against him, and that he must arrest him. The prisoner said, " Very well ; you will allow mo to put my coat on," to which I replied, " Certainly." Tho prisoner went into another room, put on his coat, returned and then was allowed, at his own request, to go to the rear of the house. The prisoner then immediately got over a wall, made his escape into Penton-streot, and though imme modiately pursued, outstripped every one and got away. Last night the prisoner was again taken into custody by a constable of the G division, from whom ho also made his escape, and was arrested for the third time this morning. Tho prisoner was asked by the magistrate if ho meant to pay the money due to the young woman. The Prisoner—l have got no money. Mr. Benson—Have you any goods ? The Prisoner—No, I have rat any. I will not run away I will pay the money in four or five days. Mr. Benson—You are a great runner'. You have run away twice. I must issue a distress warrant if you have any goods, and keep you hero until a return is made. The Prisoner—l have some goods. Smith, an officer of the court, 415 K, said all the goods in tho defendant's house were not worth ss. Tho Prisoner—l don't think they aro worth 53., your worship. Mr. Benson sentenced the prisoner two months' impri sonment and hard labour, and told him ho would be liable to be sent to prison again if he did not pay half a crown weekly for the maintenance of his child. WESTMINSTER. EXTARORDINARY DECISION.—EIIen Diggin, before con victed of felony, was charged with being concerned with her brother in robbery trom the person with violence on the 25th of June last. Mr. Thomas William Baker, a clerk, residing at 184, King's-road, Chelsea, said that on the 25th June, late at night, he was going home, and the defendant accosted him; he tried to avoid her, but she followed him and continu ally forced herself upon him, until, as ho went into King street, he was suddenly seized by several men, who rifled his pockets and then escaped. Mr. Selfe asked how he connected this woman with the man now awaiting his trial? Bloomfield, 218 A, said be was the brother of the pri soner, and had been seen with her all that night. Police-constable 345 T said that on the night in question ho saw the prisoner and three or four others following the prosecutor. He watched them into King-street, and then lost sight of thorn; in a quarter of an hour Mr. Baker told him he had been robbed, and they caught the prisoner in Bond-street but prosecutor declined to give her into custody, because he did not wish his father to be bothered about it. In reply to Mr. Selfe, the prosecutor said the constable was incorrect about his father, he did not wish to be troubled with the :prosecution, as it took so much time, and he would now be probably detained three or four days at the trial ; the police, however, having caught one he determined to prosecute the prisoner, so as to deter such characters in future. He would swear the prisoner held bim at the time of the robbery. Watts, 252 B, said the prisoner had been several times convicted of felony. Mr. Selfe said he did not think a jury would convict, the prosecutor had abstained from charging her at the time, and then having got one resolved to have the lot. Ho cautioned the prisoner, 'told her it would be re membered of her, and then discharged her. LIVERPOOL COTTON MelßKE7—This Day• Market opens quiet, but steady. Sales probably 10,000 bales. . - AN EXECUTION AT HONG KONG.—Cheong-Po-sang, the only one convicted of the five men engaged in the mur der of the clothseller in Tank-lane, and three of the four pirates convicted at the May sessions for piracy and murder on the high seas, wore on the 24th of June executed at Hong kong, at the usual place in front of the gaol. As the bell struck six the prisoners were led forth to the scaffold, near which were a number of Europeans, one or two companies of police, and 50 penal servitude convicts ranged on one side of the compound. Chcong-fook had to be pushed up the scaf fold ladder by main force; and when all the condemned man had reached the platform, there followed a scene which will not soon be forgotten by those who witnessed it. Po sang was as cool as a statue, with his painfully drawn-up features; but the other three swayed about uneasily, look ing behind over the wall as if meditating escape, now noisily resisting the executioner, and again moaning and groaning as before. Cheong-fook stamped and danced upon the platform, and cursed and swore at the crowd below, until it was feared some accident might happen to the scaffold, and ho had at last to be bound round the ankles with a rope. The voice of the Roman Catholic padre was drowned in the torrent of abuse from the scaffold; and it need hardly bo said that the exhortations of the ministers of religion seemed to have not the slightest effect upon any one of the doomed men, excepting perhaps Po-sang, who now and then during the morning had listened to what was said to him. At five minutes past six, at a signal from the sheriff, the bolt was drawn, the fatal jerk given, and the miserable victims Were left dangling in the . air. .~ .r .--~ 411) - • Tit .1 ‘ eittllbt HER MAJESTY, &c• OSBORNE, Aug. 18.

Ilis Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh ar rived at Rio, in the steam frigate Galatea, on the 15th of July. The following account of his arrival and reception is abridged from the Anglo-Brazilian limes : " Monday, the 15th inst., brought to the Eng lish residents of Rio de Janeiro a realisation of a much-anticipated pleasure, when the Galatea, in command of one of Britain's Princes, entered the beautiful harbour of Rio, and anchored near the fortified little, but story-famed, isle of Villegaignon, while the thunderings of the forts and the armed ships of the various nations resting within the hospitable precincts of the bay hailed the illustrious voyager who for the Se cond time visited its waters. Hardly had the vessel dropped her anchor, when his Highness the Cotnte d'Eu and Conselheiro Dr. Albuquerque, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, accompanied by the Veador Siqueira, climbed the gangway stairs to offer to Prince Alfred Brazil's welcome to her shores, and to bear him off to lend his presence to the social party which the Comte d'Eu had prepared to beguile him after the wearing monotony of the voyage. Next morning, also, brought his Highness the Comte d'Eu on board the Galatea, and the two Princes landing at the Arsenal of Marine drove to Sao Christovao to the Palace of Boa Vista, to pay the due respect to their Imperial Majesties the Emperor and Empress, who were waiting to receive England's Prince and give their welcome to him. At one o'clock p.m. the Duke returned to Rio, there in the City Palace to receive a deputation from the British residents, with an address of loyalty and congra tulation." THE COST OF METROPOLITAN PAVING. A report from the Highways, Sewers, and Public Works Committee of the parish of St. Pancras has just been printed for the consideration of the vestry, showing the enormous cost entailed upon the rate payers for paving purposes, as well as tho addi tional sum thrown upon the parish by the abolition of tolls, by which that vast monopoly, the London General Omnibus Company, has derived such enor mous advantages without affording the public any adequate benefit. The report sets out by stating that for 18G6 the rates levied for paving purposes were insufficient by £4,600 to meet paving require ments, whilst at the same time extraordinary expenses had to be incurred out of the general rate, includ ing expenses of cholera committee £1,631, excess of labour in sanitary precautions £154, extra cost of water carts £6OO, cartage of snow £B2l, repairs, It is announced, says Galignani, that the Que of vestry hall £256, and compensation for ac cidents £ll3—making a total under this head of £2,975. The cost of works in relaying footways and paving intersecting portions of adjacent roads in connection with paving certain of the late turn pike roads had been £6,976. The total cost of paving these roadways amounted to £49,661, for defraying the cost of which £50,000 had been borrowed by the vestry, the balance of which, £339, the finance committee had appropriated towards the paving expenses adjacent to the turnpike roads, leaving a balance of £6,643, the whole of which was charged to the rates during the year under consi deration. To meet this sum £2,801 was estimated by the assessment committee as a liability to Michaelmas, 1866, leaving the balance of £3,842 unprovided for. Iu consequence of works executed there was a large quantity of surplus material in the depot, which being available for other streets re quiring repair might be regarded as an asset to the value of £1,500. Amongst the estimates for 1866 was au item for repairing the carriage way and footways of Tottenham-court-road at a cost of £8,288, but seeing that Tottenham-court road is a most important thoroughfare, and that the then existing paving had been laid down about twenty years ago, and also that the paving could be advantageously dressed for other thorough fares of lesser traffic, if not allowed to be still further depreciated, the committee, taking into con sideration the dangerous condition of Tottenham court-road, directed the chief surveyor to carry out the repaving, which swelled the amount of coit to £11,147. After referring to the payment of great -works on roads, such as Gray's-inn-road and others, out of the general rate to the extent of £13,00 0, which they' considered a great mistake, the com mittee report that the cost of maintaining the roads thrown upon the parish by the abolition of tolls was £ll,OOO per annum, but the vestry having bor rowed £50,000 referred to, and paved with granite those portions of the old turnpike roads that wero subjected to the heaviest traffic, had reduced the cost of maintenance, including the payment of the instalment of loan and interest, to £8,400 per annum, which was equal to a rate of 21d. in the pound. The appendix to the report thus shows that the amount required for paving work in the parish of St. Pancras in 1864 , the yea r in which tolls wore taken off and turnpike roads thrown on the parish, had been—March £18,097, Sept. £17,710 ; in 186 6, March £18,517, Sept. £ 21,607 ; in 1866, march, £18,791; September, £21,710 ; in 1867, March, £2l,Bl2—total, £138,277, the amount for all put poses required under the general rate for the saol e -riod being £170,156. of Spain is again in an interesting situation.
