THE new borough of Chelsea is fortunate in having for one of its representatives a gentleman who thinks for himself, and thinks to good purpose. All readers of Sir CHARLES DILKE'S " Greater Britain" must have been struck with the originality of the writer's views, the clearness with which they were set forth, and the force of argument with which they were upheld. These qualities were the more remark able because • Sir CHARLES was a very young man, considerably under five-and-twenty, we believe, atthetime when he made his tour. When he came forward as a candidate for Chelsea he at' once gave fresh interest to IL contest which already was some what memorable, in consequence of the candidature on the other side of Mr. HOWARD RUSSELL. The young littHa!eur beat the veteran, and Chelsea gave to the British Parliament a member who will not be long in making his mark. Last session was not one for new members to obtain prominence. One measure was before the country, and needed the utmost self-denial and stern repression. Would-be orators had to keep silence even from gool words, though, no doubt, it was pain and grief to them. Thus Sir CHARLES DILKE, the npresentative of young Cambridge, and those few representatives of young Ox - ford who escaped the overthrow which they encountered in most places, had small opportunities of proving to the world the ability with which their friends so largely credited them. Sir CHARLES DILKE has, however, just made a speech to his constituents which will convince them that they have not formed too high an opinion of him. It is one of the best of the speeches which have been ma le in the present recess ; though that, it must be admitted, is not saying much, for rarely has there 7)een such a dearth of really good "extra-parliamentary utterances" as during the last six months. In praising Sir CHARLES DILKE ' S speech, it is not necessary to sow _ with the whole of it. He finds THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 5, lB7O fault With the Government, because on account of the timidity of one or two members of it, it has resolved to introduce :us Irish Land Bill, which will not be satisfactory to " us all,"—the philosophic Radicals that is. It is by no means certain that Sir CHARLES is right in his facts. The retirement of Lord BEss- BOROIJGII from the Ministry because the Land Bill is too sweeping, certainly does not look like excessive caution on the part of the Ministry. And, after all, it would be extremely unwise for Ministers to intro duce a bill which the bulk of their followers could not support. We do not want to see this matter extended over several years. A succession of Ministerial crises, changes of Cabinet, and dissolu tions of Parliament may be all very well for those who love political excitement, but there is already enough excitement, and to spare, in one part of the kingdom, and it is time that we devised some means of pacifying it. Then, as regards the next question, Education, we find ourselves partly disagreeing with Sir CHARLES DUKE. lie is a member of the League, and he is chagrined because it has just offered a com promise by which the reading of the Bible should be left optional in schools. Ho would have them wholly secular, and he would have them supported by the rates, and education made compulsory upon all children. In other words, he would have the greatest amount of change in order to produce a result which other educationists wish fully as much as he. We have already expressed our opinion that there is no need for such a sweeping reform as this. Compulsion, for instance, may be obtained without resorting to the policeman, by simply extending the Factory Acts to all employments. The proposal to throw the cost of education entirely upon the rates is unadvisable, because it relieves parents from the responsibility which lies upbn them of paying for the instruction of their children. Sir CuarmEs and the League have hitherto failed utterly to shew why the children's pence, which now constitute so large an aggregate sum, should be abandoned, and why the working classes, whose crying fault is that they are already far too little independent, should be relieved of a bounden duty, or why that duty should fall upon those who already find it a hard matter to pay for the schooling of their own children. It is satisfactory to find that the Radical member for Chelsea is in accord with the Conservative member for South Devon upon the injustice of the present system of rating. "Nothing," as he well puts it, "can be more flagrant than such cases as those which exist in London, of peers who draw an income of £OO,OOO or £70,000 a year from a single parish, without con tributing a sixpence directly to the rates." This is a matter which must be set right, and that shortly, for the burden of local taxation is becoming unbearable. The Government are, the member for Chelsea tells us, going to set a good example by introducing a measure next session which will repeal the exemption of Government property from local rates. Hitherto the theory has been that a town has benefited so greatly by the presence of Government property in a borough that this property might well bo relieved from contributing to the local revenues. In reality the injury has often been as great as the benefit. When the Admiralty, for instance, absorbs all the riverside, and the War Office all the best land, and whale villages are rased to make way for fortifications, the presence of the Government is not so great a boon that it ought to be paid for by what is equivalent to a yearly fine of some hundreds of pounds. Finally, we will notice Sir CHARLES DILKE'S admirable letter, which appears in the Times simultaneously with the report of his speech. In that letter he warns English politicians against the browbeating policy of the Anglo-Chinese. That policy, whereof Lord PALMERSTON was the great advocate, and which consists in forcing all nations, who are weak enough for us to coerce them, to give up their customs and laws at our dictation, is even now upheld by a large number of English residents in China. Mr. COBDEN was the most earnest in denounc ing it, and the present Lord DERBY and Lord CLAREN- DON have abandoned it, and substititted for it a policy of equity and peace. But there is need of great watchfulness on the part of Parliament lest we should return to the old, bad days when a populous city was bombarded because we chose to take the side of a pirate to whom we had hired out the British flag at 2d. a day. It was a shameful episode, but it was only one manifes'a'ion of a principle which even nowrc is only scotched, and not killed—the principle that the earth was made for the children of Englishmen, and for them alone. TUE French Official Jovraal has prepared a pleasant surprise. Just as we were all lamenting that the new PREMIER should have constructed a Ministry that could not last a month, we find that that Ministry has not lasted half a week, but has already given place to another. The first was ridiculous, impracticable. The second is really very good, and we see no reason why, if the time for an Imperial Cabinet is not gone by altogether, this one should not stand. M. OLLIVIER has prevailed upon several of the most eminent members of the Left Centre to join him, and the EMPEROR has accepted the list. In fact, the only alternative he had was a Ministry of the Irreconcileables and the downfall of the Empire. We imagine that this new Ministry finding itself, as it will, numerically in a minority, will before long see it expedient to get rid of the present Chamber. It is the offspring of scandalous corruption and intimidation, and in no way represents the nation. We may be quite sure that a new Chamber would be very differently con stituted ; and we trust that when the country once saw that the EMPEROR was in earnest, that he really meant to give responsible Government, and so " crown the edifice," it would support the men whom he had called to his aid, by such a majority that they would be able to suppress both reaction and anarchy. An attempt is being made to rem3ve the Quarter Sessions now held at Wrexham to the town of Ruthin. The young man, Stansfeld—the Sheffield lover who induced his sweetheart, Miss Shaper, to rob her father, that they might have money to marry upon—has been com mitted for trial by the Sheffield magistrates. At the Dublin Freemen Commission yesterday a medical student, named Wright, admitted Laving distri buted ten tickets as tokens for bribery, and having himself £5 for his services. The inquiry proceeds, and will pro bably last at least another week. %Vlldam Staple, a farmer, residing at Aldwiek, near Winster, was yesterday summoned before the Chester field magistrates and mulcted in a penalty of £5 and costs for exposing for sale in tho Market-place there a quantity of beef that was totally unfit for food. A Greek Archbishop is in Liverpool—the Arch bishop of Syra and Tenos. The object of the visit of his grace (who is accompanied by the Archdeacon and Deacon of Syra), is to consecrate a beautiful new Greek Church, rapid!y approaching completion. A correspondent states that one of the direct lineal descendants of Archbishop Parker, the second Protestant cf C! , .ntt;tlJury, vet. km yeara r:iscaal friend and confidant df Queen Elizabeth, is now an appli cant for admission into the almshouses at Croydon for de cayed householders of the parish of Lambeth. Mr. Baines was present last night at the annual soir6e of the Woodhouse Temperance Hall and tho Me chanics' Institution at Leeds, and advocated the necessity of greater improvt mout iu art and science instruction to working men, if this country was to maintain its pre-eminence es a matairacturing and iLdustr:ous nation. Lord will probatq be elected an Irish representative peer, in the room of the into Lord Crofton. Another death has o;curr3l from the accident at Bristol. William Gamblin, aged 13, died this morning hem the injuries he received. The sum of £3,CCO Las been lately given by Sit D.wid raster, cf Kilmason, towanls the erection and en dowment of an inslitution f(,r the education of younr ladies at Cupar Fife. The BrooUsn C rand. ..ur.•: has indicted sixty per sans for committing frauds in tit; recent elections thete, among the indicted being justice 3 of the peace, constable*, and other public ofi7citls. Thomas Lightfoot, the A r clats tradesman, charged with cruelty t!.) his imbecl'e lrother, was committed for trial, at the Manchester Police-court, ou Saturday. Ho was, however, admitted to bail. . . AFTER TWENTY-SEVEN - UARS' IMPRISONMENT. Mr. Barnacles was released on Saturday from White cross-street Prison, after an imprisonment of twenty-seven years, and we earnestly hope that when, according to the account given, he "stared about," he slid not stumble up against any of the favoured ones of the Home Office. However hideous may have been the clinics which Barnacles committed, and which justified his detention for more than a quarter of a century, they could hardly have exceeded some of the garotte rob beries and brutal murders which have been committed by some of our ticket-of-leave men who commenced their imprisonment long after Barnacles and have been released long before him. If Barnacles is puzzled and shocked at this inequality of our punish ments we can assure him he is not more so than every body except else except our legislators and those to whom the administration of our affairs is entrusted. We must also apologise to Barnacles for the little progress we have made in some matters since his confinement. Twenty-seven years ago he left us discussing the lamentable state of affairs in Ireland and passing the Irish Arms Bill. He finds us still engaged in the same discussion, with every probability of its lasting another twenty-seven years. lie will doubtl , ss remember we then had just arrested Mr. O'Connell; we have now just elected Mr. O'Donovan Itossa. We hardly know whom we are likely to arrest and elect during the next twenty-seven years; but we think we may promise Bar nacles that our proceedings are likely to be as attractive and exciting a;s ever.—Pall Mull Ga:ctte. AN ALLEGED RUBEN'S DISCOVERED. A journal from Finland states that a painting by Rubens, representing " Descent from the Crow," has ju,d, been (I,s -covert(' iu the Church of Elenas. The inhabitants were not aware that they possessed such a treasure, although the picture had al ways attracted the attention of connoisseurs. Last summer three artists, named Schestrand, Lowgreen, and Munstheltn, being on a vi:dt to the town, declared positively that the work was a Rubuns. An in quiry was then instituted, and showed that the painting bad been Lrought from Germany in 1650 by Count do Loewenhaupt, who presented It to the town. It is said to have been restored by the artist Lindau in 1821. A formidable addition was made to the Britibh navy on Monday by the undocking, at Messrs. Lairdib works, of lI.MA Vanguard -, an armour-clad vessel of the Invincible class. A Conference of South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire colliers will be held on Monday next to discuss "over-production," "long hour system," "ten hours p.2r day work," and the policy of helping colliers in Lanca shire, Yorkshire, and North and South Wales, to obtain the advantages sought by them. Wages will be discussed, trade. being good and the men scarcely satisfied. This morning the junction of the Midland (Metro politan Extension) Railway at Kentish-town with the Tottenham and Hampstead Junction Railway was opened for goods traffic, and two or three trains have passed to and from the goods station at Agar-town to the Londo❑ Docks. The lino will shortly open for passenger traffic, and will be a great accommodation to Irgligato and tipper Holloway, there being a station near St. John's Church, in the Holloway-road. Foot an:l mouth disease and pleuro-pneumonia are decreasing in Cheshire. During the past quarter 130 cattle were attacked with pleuro-pneumonia, and 2,505 animals by the foot and mouth disease. Of the total, 2,237 Nava re covered, and 206 are under treatment. The Cheshire ma&s trates have decided that a rate of three farthings in the pound of the general county rate will be sufficient, the boroughs to be recouped the portion allotted to them. A suspicious death has occurred at Gorton, in Lancashire. On Sunday morning the body of a man was found near the bottom of the railway embankment, about 200 yards from Ashbury's station. There was a wound at the back of the head, and bruit es on the body. The body was identified as that of Thomas li‘Loughlin, of 3, Pitt-street, Ancoats. The man had been out drinking, and on Saturday night when he left a beerhouse to go home he was in toxicated. Of the 210 petitions for private bills &posited in the Private Bill Office of the House of Commons, 91 are kr railways ; but they aro generally for further powers, aban donment, amalgamation, capital, &c. No new line of im pertance will be brought forward during the session. The bills most contested will be the tramway bills. Of these there arc 24. Th, re are 59 gas and water bins, and 65 mis cellaneous bills. With respect to these soma strong local fights are anticipated ; tu', as a whole, the private bill busi ness of the session is likely to be unusually short. The New Suffragan of the Archbishop of Canter bury will in all probability (says the Sussex Express) take the title of Bishop of Maidstone or Bishop of Croydon. Amongst the names prominently mentioned are those from whom his grace will elect his suffragan aro Archdeacon Parry ; the lit,!v. C. F. Tarver, vicar of St. Peter's, Thauet; the Lev. W. P. Erskine Knowles, rector of Saltwood; the Rev. J. Hodgson, vicar of Croydon; and the Rev. J. Bate man, vicar cf Margate. The Recorder of Leeds has presented a beautiful paten to the parish church. It is of saver, and in the centre and round the ed,;.e are set, jewel-wise, a number of gold coins of Spain, England, and France. The inscription runs thus :—" The coins in this paten were found on the 'mody of George Panjamin /daub., Esq., who was killed, together with 1; fellow-travdlers, on the night of the 14th of September, A.D. 1850, by being washed down a mountain torrent into the sea, near thopesa, on the coast of Valencia, in the king dom of Spain." The unseemly squabbles in Ruch:laic Parish Church, on account of the ritual, still continue; yesterday they formed the subject of au inwstigatiou before the local ma 3istrates. A Mr. Nicholson charged the vicar, Dr. Moles worth, with assault. The choir has lately left the church in procession before the people, the latter standing. Mr Nicholson objects to the choir going out thus, and in his hurry to get home disarranges the procession. The other Sunday he knocked up against the vicar ; and Dr. Moles worth pushed hhnon one silo. For doings° the rev. gentle man was fined 2s Gd. The mysterious affair at Derby—the case of the married couple, found dying in their bed room, with no trace of foul play—is now explained somewhat. Mrs. Ford is dead; the Wall FOrd stilt Tires, and at intervals becomes conscious. On these occasions his brother and others put the question to hint whether he poisoned Lis wife, and he reeled that he did ; but on beieg asked what he gave her, he made no reply. 'The surgeons have still hopes that be will rally. Y, , sterdny surgeons made a post mm tem examination of the body of the woman, and tJok front the stomach a qu a:thy of irritant poisoa. At the IlanTshire E'Fiphaoy Sessions, yesterday, at Winchester, a ,übscriptiun portrait of Sir WilliArn Heath cote, Bart., p:dnted by Mr. G. Richmond, R.A., w.►s pee seated, on behalf of the subscribers, to the county. In moving that the picture be accepted, Lord Carnarvon paid a graceful tribute to the honour able baronet. The resoluti n was seconded by Lord Northbrook, who dwelt especially oa the fact that Sir William Heatheote left his position in the House of Commons with the respect of all political parties. Mr. Nl'. W. Beach, M.P., Lord Eversley, and Mr. J. Bon ham-Carter having cordially endorsed the observations of Lord Carnarvon, Sir 'William IL'athcote expressed his gratification at the manner the committee had managed this most gratifying affair, combining in an extraordinary way all that was likely to do honour to so unworthy a recipient, and give hint pleasure also. TIIE NEW FRENCH MINISTRY. It is wily fair to M. 011iyier to say that the com plete and official list of his Cabinet is very satisfac tory, and far superior to the strange combination at first announced. It does not follow that this combi nation was an imaginary one. On the contrary, it seems quite certain that the list published semi-officially by the Constitutionnel, and so severely criticised on all hands, was actually agreed upon, but that M. 011ivier, despairing of its success, made renewed efforts. He has been successful. His Cabinet includes all the leaders of the Right and Left Centre whose omission from the early list caused such surprise. De Talhouß, Darn, Buffet, and Segris, arc all there. Count Darn, the politician who was iinvrisoned for resisting the coup d'etat, has taken the important post of Foreign Affairs, and M. Buffet, who is regarded as personally obnoxious to the Emperor, gets control of the Finances. Nor must we forget the highly-respectable Moderate Liberal, M. Louvet, who was not in the first list, but figures as Commercial Minister in the second. In short, the Cabinet is the best that could be formed out of the materials, instead of the worst, as it promised to be. The result cannot fail to be of the highest consequence to the interests of Europe. The French funds now stand at a higher figure than has been known for many years past. RESIGNATION OF TIM SPANISH MINISTRY. • A highly important occurrence is telegraphed from Spain. The Spanish Ministry has resigned, in consequence of receiving a decided negative from the King of Italy respecting the proposed election of the Duke of Genoa to the throne. This news not only disposes of the Duke's candidature, but it raises the important ques tion as to who will he the future Ministers. Prim him self was the leading upholder of the Duke's candi dature. NAVAL AND MILITARY lIVTELLIGENCE Yesterday orders were issued at Woolwich for the whole of the troops in garrison -to parade in marching order at 10 o'clock this morning for a march out, under the command of Major-General Sir David IV ood, K.C.8., Commandant of the gar rison.

The troops will proc:ed by different routes, and, after going through a variety of movements incidental to modern warfare, will return to their quarters about 2 o'clock. BREAKFAST.— EPPS'S COCOA.— G RATEFUL AND CoM rou'rmo,—The very agreeable character of this preparation has r. ndered it a general favourite. The 'Civil Serv:ce Gazette' re marks:—" The singular success which Mr. Epps attained by his hon.ecopathic preparation of cocoa has never been surpassed by any experimentalist. By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion anti nutrition, and by a careful application of the tine properties of well-selected cocoa, Mr Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a deli cately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doc tors' bills." Made simply with boiling water or milk. Sold only in tin-lined packets, labelled "JAMES Errs and Co., itoincel pathic Chemigts, London. REVOLUTIONARY IDEAS IN RUSSIA. A St. Petersburg correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette sends some particulars of the remarkable socialist plots discovered at Moscow and other towns—the first an nouncement of which was made by Central Press Telegram. " The discovery of a secret conspi racy at Moscow, with the object of producing a peasant insurrection, has caused great alarm in Government circles here, and the police are busily searching for the ringleaders of the plot. A great number of arrests have already been made both here and at Moscow, and though the whole affair is strictly kept secret, it has transpired that many of the peasant officials in the communes are implicated in the conspiracy. The persons arrested are confined in the fortress of Petro pavlosk, where they are now undergoing t,ial. Among the papers found upon them are several revolutionary pro clamations. One of these, by the well-known Russian agi tator Bakonnin, declares that both the Russian and the Polish patriots have one common object, the 'destruction, as speedily as possible, of the Russian State." We desire,' says M. Bakonnin, the total abolition of all official life, both in and out of Russia; and in this point we disagree with the Poles who wish to re-establish a Polish State ; . . . . but in other respects we are real friends and allies, for the cause of the Poles—the destruction of Russian Czarism—is also ours. Another of these proclamations urges the Moscow students who have been expelled from the university to join the bands in the wcods, for they are the true representatives of Russian socialism and national life' What is meant by this passage is not very clear, for the only bands known to be in the woods are these of robbers, whom even the Reds would hardly speak of as typical Russian THE NEW FRENCH MINISTERS. The Temps, which is a little doubtful of the ultimate success of what it calls a variegated Cabinet, observes that there are three chief figures, M. 011ivier, M. Buffet, and 31. Segris. M. 011ivier's career is well known, and has been everywhere cited; but the antecedents of MM. Buffet and Segris are less known. M. Buffet was formerly an advocate. At the age of 30 ho was elected as representative for the department of Vosges,•his own country. He sat on the Right In the Constituent Assembly, and was one of those who declared that General Cavaignac had deserved well of his country. After the 10th of December he accepted the portfolio of Com merce and Agriculture, and left the Ministry the next year, along with M. Odillon Barrot. He was Minister again with M. Leon Foucher, and left office a second time with his colleagues six weeks before the coup d':tat. From 1851 to 1863 there is an interregnum in the political life of M. Buffet. He re-entered the Corps Legislatif in 1363 again for the department of Vosges, this time returned by the Opposition. M. Buffet has an excellent voice and a geed bearing; his language, is clear, ready, and decided. The Chamber listens to him with favour, and when the President's bell has hardly availed to still the tumult of the assembly, 111. Buffet, when he rose. could readily command silence. He is tall and thin, with a slight degree of awkwardness in his manner, but is sample and gracious when approached. His pourtrayer in the Temi s ctusiders that he is not one of those who change their manners in changing their seat for the Minis terial bench. Of M. Segris the portrait painter says that up to the last hour it was said, " M. Segris will never be able to make up his mind." To take a decisive course seems to be a task beyond the powers of the deputy of Maine-et- Loire. Twenty times since he has been in the cham ber it has been thought that he would leave the majority for the opposition, twenty times has he drawn Lack at the last moment. He signed the famous interpellation of the 116, and everyone was astonished at the effort, but the responsibility on that occasion was well divided. M. Segris is one of the best speakers in the Chamber, certainly the very best of the old Right. His voice is sonorous and of an admirable quality, his speech is fluent, his diction energetic. He has plenty of action in the tribune, and has an intelligent physiognomy, which gains the sympathies of his audience. M. Segris is 59, and his hair is gray. Such are the new Ministers of Finance and of Public Instruction. The Figaro publishes two letters exchanged between 31. Magne and 31. 011ivier on Saturday last. They run as follows :—"My dear M. 011ivier,—I have reflected, since yesterday, on the situation in which you are placed by the refusal of the Left Centre. It is not possible for me to form part of a combination from which an element I have always thought important in the actual state of the Chamber, is excluded. I would ask you, then, before (taming to any conclusion, at least so far as I am concerned, to make another effort with your colleagues.—Receive, &c., MAGNE.—Saturday morning." M. 011ivier's reply is dated Saturday evening r---" Dear sir, I have followed your excellent advice this very day, and the result of my long conference with my colleagues is the commencement of an understanding which appears sufficient to modify our arrangements of yesterday. These gentlemen accept the portfolios I have placed at their dis posal, and attach no other condition to their acceptance than your preliminary retirement. lam compelled by the tenor of your note this morning to adhere to this basis of arrangement.—l remain, &c., OLuvizn." The Scotsman, quoting a private letter from Suez, states that Mr. W. H. Gregory, M.P. for Galway, made a pilgrimage recently to the real Cave of Adullam. NEW YEAR'S DAY IN BERLIN.---The Inde pendance Beige says that an tacident occurred at the New Year's receptions at the Court of Berlin which contrasted somewhat with the pacific nature of the French Emperor's discourses. In receiving Marshal Wrangel at the head of the generals, King William recalled the honours which had been conferred upon him by the Emperor of Russia, and added, " It is to you, gentlemen, that I am indebted for this favour to those who conducted the army to victory." The Independance does not think, however, that this speech of the King's indicates a warlike policy for the future, but may be regarded in the light of a compliment to his generals, to whom he is so much indebted. The recognised organ of the Ministry, the Provincial (Or) espondence, lays great stress upon the peaceful character of affairs, and declares that the Northern Confederation has so determined its Constitu tion that it is accepted as a guarantee for peace. M. Oi.LIVIER AT HODIE.—M. Alfred d'Aussay con tributes to Figaro a minute account, in the American fashion, of the private life of M. Emile 011ivier. His resi dence, 29, Rue St. Guillaume (the rent of which, we are informed, is 2,500 f.), presents so modest an exterior that the other day a high functionary who had occasion to speak to the new Minister, after mounting a few steps, turned back in great indignation that a person of his rank should have been sent up tho servants' staircase. The concierge had no difficulty in excusing him self—there was no other. Augustin, the only domestic who serves M. Emile 011ivier, his brother, Madame 011ivier, and the Abb6 Liszt (when he is in Paris), acts also as secretary in case of need. The walls of his cabinet are literally covered with portraits of great men whom 31. 011 iv ier admires, among them Bapheel,Descartes, Bossuet, Mirabeau, Pascal, 31oW:re, Benjamin Constant. Lamartine, and Dcak. There is also a portrait of the older M. 011ivier, and a fine proof engraving of the Gircn dins. Over the chimney piece is a ramble bust elf a charming child, Daniel 011ivier, now living at Saint Tropez, with his grandfather, the wild Republican Demos th:me 011ivier, who intends to undertake the charge of his education. The disorder in this cabinet is excessive, but M. 011ivier, who is very near-sighted, can lay his hand in a moment on any book or paper he requires. Ho re ceives his friends only at breakfast, goes out at half-past one, and, when he dines at home, returns at seven. He goes to bed early, and rises at six or seven o'clock. He drinks nothing but water, never smokes, seldom goes to the theatre, and only to hear music. He has never, hitherto, gilll4 dinner P4IIION or soirees. THE FAREWELL TO CHARLES MATHEWS. The complimentary benefit to Mr. Charles Mathews yesterday at Covent Garden, prior to his departure for Australia, has resulted in, a great success. Every seat in the theatre was filled, and the performances produced the greatest en thusiasm. All the old favourites received a warm rem). Lion, but on Mr. Charles Mathews making his appearance as Manager Puff in the " Critic" the applause was tremendous. At the conclusion of the mock tragedy the expression of feeling on the part of the bril liaat audience was something extraordinary, and in obedience to calls from all parts of the house Mr. Charles Mathews apiearcd, and spoke as follows " Ladies and Gentlemen, —Now, I appeal to you, isn't it worth a voyage to Australia to draw forth such an overwhelming and, I may say, unprece dented display as that of this morning ? I don't know which is the most complimentary—the most gratifying to my feelinp—the cordial demonstra tion from the brilliant assemblage before the cur tain, or the friendly co-operation and good-fellew sh.p of the galaxy of talent behind it. It almost shakes my determination to leave you, and makes me feel inc!ined to go on taking benefits every morning for the next, twelvemonth. But perhaps this would not be wise. Who knows but after a few months my friends might get weary of me ? so 1 don't think I will venture that experiment. I have over and over again experienced the kindness of the public, and under all sorts of circumstances have been cheered by their favour and patronage, though certainly not in so marked a manner as in this instance; but I have never before met with so remarkable a manifestation of good feeling—such an utter abnegation of self on the part of my pro fessional brethren as has been exhibited to-day. To find the most distinguished artists of our time con- tent to Lide their candle under a bushel (I'm the bushel), playing the most insignificant parts with perfect good humour, even shaking their heads without uttering a word, though, without uttering a word, you will admit that a most flowery (flour-y) speech has been made, is a compliment I never can forget, and the remembrance of which I shall carry across the ocean under my waistcoat., next my heart of hearts. It not only proves the truth of Sheridan', remark that where they do agree upon the stage, their unanimity is wonderful,' but it indicates a per sonal regard which is more valuable to me than the mest elaborately doled expression of professional esteem. Albeit not given to the melting mood, I am almost tempted to besentimental on the occasion, but it is out of my line, and 1 would not mar the merri ment of the morning by a serious and formally con cocted set speech. I have no wish, ladies and, gentlemen, to bring your pocket-handkerchiefs into requisition ; I shall see enough salt water by and by without that. No, it has been a merry meeting, and I would have it a merry parting, trusting at no distant period to have an equally merry return. UL ! I am not unmindful of my return, believe me ; the human mind naturally looks forward, and as a proof I beg to inform you, thus in good time, that 1 have already accepted an engagement at the 11 iy mar ket on my arrival. Tickets may be secured at the box office by telegraph a year in advance. After all, I'm not going so very far, only to the antipodes, and what is that in these days? A tour in the provinces, nothing more, with a casual peep at Egypt, and a possible glimpse of India and China en passant—to many people a delightful little pleasure excursion, even without the temptation of profit tacked to it ; while I have a double inducement in the hope of find ing pleasure and profit combined. Besides, I am no stranger to the Overland Route ;' 1 ought to be quite at home in it, having had a run of 200 nights on boa;d a P. and 0. steamer at the 1 - hytnarket only a few years ago. But I should to perfectly satisfied with a much shorter run thi time, and, not being a manager, a run of six weeks will be quite as much as I desirc. Once safely landed at Melbourne, I have no fear of meeting with a kind reception from those who have so often given me pressing invitations to visit their shores. The only anxiety on my mind will be the natural one of how they will like me when they get me there. In this sensational age is is somewhat daring to risk a j,,,ureey of 15,000 miles to play simple coin. die: and fares, without the now indispensable adjuncts of fires, murders, wrecks, daring leaps, awful headers, and crashing railway engines ; when there is no chance for scene painters, machinis s, limelights, hansom cabs, red fire, or moonlight bridges. How if should not hit the taste of our Antipodean friends? What's to be done then`: Well, I suppose I must buy a. kangaroo, and come home again. As the man said 'when bound for Jerusalem, 'lf I can't convert the Jews, I can buy an Arabian horse.' I re member a story of Sir Walter Scott's of a young medical practitioner in Perth who, tired of waiting for practice in his native city, announced that he had determined to emigrate to Australia. Aus tralia!' said his friend, ' What on earth for ? Why there are nothing but kangaroos there.' Well,' said he, isn't their money as good as any body else's ?' So, if all else fail, I shall have to fail back upon the aborigines and see if 1 can't per suade them to put their hands in their pouches. At all events, if our brethren on the other side ot the globe do not find me exactly the conunodity they want, they can't say that I am a mere ephe meral, flimsy kickshaw, furbished up to impose upon the colonial market. I may fall short of their ex pectations, but I am at least genuine of my kind—a long-tried, well-seasoned article, warrauted sound and fit for immediate exportation. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the time is arrived when I am to bid you adieu, but before doing so I must advett to one most extraordinary circumstance connected with this occasion. I cannot resiit referring to the remarkable fact that, perhaps, for the first time in the history of the stage—at any rate of the modern stage—this benefit has come off without a single poster, board, bill, or playbill of any description having been issued, and that with the exception of the programmes distributed in the house this morn ing, and the simple announcement in the news papers, not an intimation of any kind has been give❑ to the public. Now, this is a step in the right direction. Time was when my bills were flying all over the town, but now I am happy to be able to say that I leave England without having a single bill out. In a few days I shall take my departure, and, as it may be a satisfaction to my friends to know that my comfort and , happiness will be insured during my peregrinations, as far as anything can be insured in this world, I will with your permission present to you a guarantee that I shall have all the consolation man can desire in the sweet society and affectionate solicitude of a be loved companion. Here is the guarantee (leading forward Mrs. C. Mathews). Ladies and gentlemen, allow me in the name of my wife and myself to bid you respectfully and gratefully farewell." The speech concluded amid loud plaudits. The curtain again rose, and discovered a large assem blage of professional ladies and gentlemen, who, gathered together in honour of the veteran come dian, echoed from the stage the shout of the audience. i:OURSE OF EXCHANGE.

THAMES. A DANGEROUS CIIARACTER.—AIex. M'Quinn, a notorious thief with several aliases, described by Monger, a city detective, as a very d mgerous fellow, was charged on remand with obtaining goods under false pretences. He has been in cus tody three weeks. He waited on Mr. Frederick Johnson Dane a month ago, and represented that he had just come home in the ship Ramsay from Calcutta, and had wages to receive. John son, who is a lodging house keeper as well as an outfitter, advanced the prisoner money and clothes to the value of about £3. It was now proved by a seaman, who did come home in the Ramsay, that the prisoner did not come home in that ship, that he had only been out of prison, after 18 mouths' imprisonment, for a few days before he called upon Mr. Johnson, and that he had been convicted of a similar offence before. He had also been convicted of other offences, had returned from transportation, before his time, and was suspected of having killed three men in the bush while a bushranger. Cox, 45 K, a well-conducted, humane officer, said the prisoner had committed other robberies. The prisoner, who struck an officer on the first examination, was now well looked after, and he abused and bullied every witness. lie said Cos was a great overgrown beast, and a Fox by name and a Fox by nature ; that Mr. Benson, who ori ginally heard the case, was disgusted with it, and he had thrown it over to a new magistrate. Lushington allowed the prisoner great lati tude, and finally committed hint for trial without remark. MARLBOROUGH•sTREET. SERIOUS THREATS. —Thomas Abbott, a plasterer, living in Tottenham-court -road, was brought be fore Mr. Tyrwhitt, on a warrant, charged with using threatening language towards Elizabeth Phillips, of No. 11, Robert- street, Grosvenor square. The complainant said that she had lived with the prisoner for 18 years as has wife, and had bad a family by him, but in consequence of his bru tality h as b een obliged to leave him, and he had since threatened her life and that of her sister for not returning to him, and her sister for giving her a shelter. . _ The prisoner asked the complainant whether he had ever illused her, and she said he had, that ho had k n ocked some of h er t eet h out, and s h ame f u lly used her. Maria Phillips, sister of the complainant, said the prisoner had threatened to follow her all over London and stab her, and that then he would 110 0 no trouble in getting rid of the complainant. The prisoner denied Musing the complainant, and said that s he had destroyed some of his propertY, anti that he was annoyed by persons calling on hint fur debts due by the complainant. Mr. Tyrwitirt said the prisoner was evidently t o re of those base fellows who turned round on a woman after she had been his slave for 18 years. 11 ° should order the prisoner to find one bail in £ 2 d to keep the peace towards the complainant, and II similar amount of bail to keep the peace toward s her sister. ~, COM The f as appa l day, th e noted di case of been in America and in] increase The i to-day , bills at Cous ditto, daoed, Excheq diti 1 p --pren 4 1 per Indi: ditto 5 Cent., 4 per ( In t place i and St —Arg, 81&; can, guese Orel, 811 to to 26j 471; In North (A), donia Londe and S Neste Law, and I Dove: to 12' In to 49 31 to hi it Gen quie 2i t
