MANSION-HOUSE. THE LATE ALLEGED CASE OF DRIIGGING. —Edward Rome, on rem and, was again placed at the bar before the Lord Mayor, charged on suspicion of having administered a drug to a female, and with afterwards taking impro per liberties with her in a cab. Mr. Lewis appeared for the prisoner. The Lord Mayor said that he had well considered this case, and finding so many discrepancies in the evidence, he could scarcely believe there was any truth in the principal part of the charge. The woman had not been injured ; but had there been any evidence of the pri soner's s having used a drug, he might have committed him for trial for intent, &c. Such a charge as this ought clearly to be made out. The prosecutrix was asked if she had any further evi dence to give, and she replied no. The Lord Mayor said the complainant and the pri soner being both drunk at the time, the cab man was entitled to two days' work for his attendance at the court, and ordered him to be paid. There was this in favour of the prisoner that he did not make his escape by one of the numererons courts in the neigh bourhood where the complainant was found, but ap peared desirous of taking care of her, and having her taken to her home. Had the female received any injury he was almost inclined to think it would have served her right. There was plenty of time from 9 o'clock till 12 o'clock for both of them to get drunk, as he believed they were. He gave the prisoner the benefit of the doubt he had in his own mind, and discharged him. Business this day. GUILDHALL. EMBEZZLEMENT.—An elderly man, named Thomas Ings, was charged before Sir Chapman Marshall with embezzlement. The prisoner was employed by Mr. Waghorn, butcher, to collect his accounts, but, having some suspicion that be was not acting right, he made inquiries, and found be had received certain sums of money which he bad not accounted for. He had also obtained money from the prosecutor to take out county court summonses against some of his creditors, but, in stead of doing so, appropriated the money to his own account. Some legal difficultie 3 arising as to the charge, the prisoner was discharged on his own recognizances till Wednesday, to allow the oppor tunity of re-paying the money. A poor woman who was in court also oomplained of the prisoner having treated her in a similar manner. Sir C. Marshall said he was afraid the prisoner was a very bad man. ROBBERY.—Gcorgc Wilson was charged with stealing about 40 yards of silk, value 3/. 35., the property of Messrs. Ellis, Eveningharn, and Co., silk and shawl dealers, Ludgate-hill. Mr. Humphreys appeared for the prosecuti3n. It appeared the prisoner was seen yesterday afternoon to take the silk from a counter inside the warehouse door, put it under his coat, and run off. He was followed by one of the assistants, who called after him, and saw him drop the silk in Dean court. Instead of stopping to pick up the silk he continued his pursuit, and caught him at the bottom of St. Andrew-lane. He collared him, brought him back to the warehouse, and gave him in charge of police constable 378. The silk was picked up by a porter in the employ of Mr. Smith, wine-merchant. The prisoner, who said he did it for want, was com mitted. BOW-STREET. THE LATE ROBBERY OF WATCHES IN THE STRAND. — Joseph. Levy, the person charged with being in posses sion of a watch, forming put of the property of Mr. Milleret, a watchmaker, a native of Geneva, was this afternoon again placed at the bar. It will be recollected that the lodgings of Mr. Milleret, No. 1, Cecil-street, had been :robbed of property to the amount of 3001., and that the prisoner was taken into custody while attempting to pawn a watch, which formed part of the stolen property, at a shop in Ryder's- court. Vv -- The particulars of this case have already appeared in The Sun. The only evidence offered this morninz was the fol- lowing : Paul Milleret, residing at Southampton, stated ho attended to his father's business in this country. He sends watches from Geneva to him to sell. Last Mon day week, a case of watches was consigned to him from Geneva, he paid the duty himself at the Custom-house, and brought them away. There were 33 gold and 3 silver watches in the case. The value of the whole he estimated at 3001. On receiving the watches at the Custom-house he took them to his lodgings in Cecil street, and there gave them to his father who put them in a trunk and locked them up. This occurred about half-past five o'clock, and the property was then safe, and on arrival of himself and father from a walk, at about 9 o'clock they found the place bad been broken open and all the watches, a gold chain, and a purse con taining five or six gold Napoleons stolen. The watch produced formed a portion of the property in the trunk. He could swear to the watch, it was numbered 12,510. Inspector Mackenzie stated that Benjamin, the party to whom the prisoner had referred to on the last exami nation had absconded, but he thought that if he had time he could find hirtt. He had made inquiries and found that the prisoner was a German tailor, but that he had been lately, for about six weeks, selling foreign articles on commission for a person in Little Newport street, who gave the prisoner a good character. Mr. Jcs. Holman, an importer of foreign goods, 23, Little Newport-attest, said he had resided there about a year. 'rue prisoner had been employed by him to sell goods, ankhe thought he was an honest man. He had intrusted him with property to the amount of upwards of thirty or forty pounds. In answer to the observations of Mr. Henry, the pri soner said that on Sunday week he, at the direction of his wife, who had then been but lately confined, went to invite his brother in-law, Mr. M. Benjamin, to dinner, and while there he (Benjamin) said to him—" You sell goods on commission, see if you can sell this; watch. I'll not take less than 41. for it, but all over that sum you may have for yourself." Until that day he had not seen his brother-in-law for a twelvemonth. Mr. Henry—lt is very important that we should have this Mr. Benjamin. Can't you find him ? Prisoner—l don't know where to find him. I don't know where to get him. The deposition of the pawnbroker's assistant was here read, in which it was stated that the prisoner said he bought the watch. The prisoner said he made that statement, because he did not choose to satisfy the man in the shop where he got the watch from. Mr. Henry—Any person looking at the watch would know it was worth double 4t. Prisoner—My brother-in-law gave it me wrapped in a piece of paper, and I did not look at it. Mr. Henry (to Inspector Mackenzie)—Who and what is this brother-in-law he talks of ? Do you know any thing of him ? Inspector Mackenzie stated, that for three years Ben jamin had kept a brothel, and was a receiver of stolen goods.- Mr. Henry—You must have known the sort of per son your brother-in - law was. The Prisoner said h e reall y did not. He had been absent from England for some time. He had been to Californiaverylong o time.a nd o th e r places, and had not seen him for a Mr. Henry—Well, I will allow you all the facilities I can to find this brother-in-law. I will not at present commit you for trial but again remand you. Prisoner—Will your Worship admit me to bail 1 ' Mr. Henry—The account you give of yourself is not altogether satisfactory—but under the circumstances I will take two responsible housekeepers in the sum of 1001. each as bail for your appearance this day week. You must give the police: the usual notice in order that they may make inquiries into the solvency of the per il sons. The prisoner was then removed the bar, , . MAR7n3T NEWS.—(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. About an average time of year's supply of English wheat —2,120 quarters—has been received up to our market this week, coastwise ; but the arrivals fresh up to-day by land carriage were small. Although the show of samples was but moderate, the trade ruled heavy, and most kinds were offered on rather lower terms. Over 10,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come to hand. The trade was in a depressed state, and the quota tions were nominally the same as on Monday. In floating cargoes very few transactions were reported. There was a moderate inquiry for barley at late rates, but malt ruled heavy. The imports of foreign oats having been heavy, the oat .rade was dull, and prices had a downward tendency. Beans, peas, and flour as on Monday. ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour 1,140 3,930 300 1,340 38730 330scks. Wheat. 2.120 English .. Irish ....

All kinds moved off slowly, at a decline in the prices obtained on Monday of 2d per 8 lbs. Prime Down sheep were scarce, and in re quest at full quotations. Half-breds sold steadily, but no improvement took place in their value. We were well supplied with lanibs, and the trade for them ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices. The supply of calves was ex tensive, and the veal trade ruled slow, at late currencies. In pigs very little was doing. Mulch cows were steady, at from 14/. to 20/. each, in eluding their small calf.

(From the Times of this day.) That the Pope is infallible in matters of doctrine we have long since learnt, but that this infallibi lity extends in any degree to either the matter or manner of his " allocutions" we are disposed utterly t . o deny. A wordy and rambling style, a loose and incorrect manner of speaking, and, worse than all, a pompous affectation of superior dignity and sanc tity, are the leading characteristics of these long and lugubrious orations. W e know not whose faith they confirm, whose reason they convince, or whose passions they inflam e; t o us th e y appear wearisome in the extreme, and better calculated to provoke sleep than to extort obedience. The Go vernment of Sardinia has lately learnt from this unexceptionable quarter that it is guilty of ini quity, and that the Pope on a former occasion hoped that the Bishops would have persuaded them to do better things, and that they would de sist from persecuting the Church, and hasten to repair the mischief they had done. Let not, how ever, Sardinia presume to carry matters too far. The Pope, to use a vulgar idiom, far too expressive for a Pope, "will not stand it;" he is naturally mild, but his predecessors have never shrunk from using necessary severity. There is no other hope of bringing things round to a right state, and so let the unregenerate and rebellious children of the Church look to it, for evil is before them. The Pope once more raises his apostolic voice to re prove, to condemn, to declare null and void the laws of Piedmont, and to denounce the greater ex communication upon all those who have dared to approve, to propose, or sanction these laws ; and he concludes, as the Church of Rome has ever been wont to do, with a solemn prayer for the kingdom whose laws he assumes to abrogate, and the persons whose souls he believes he is consigning to eternal perdition. The Pope next proceeds to treat of the affairs of Spain, and recites with much minuteness a treaty concluded in 1851, in which he had pro vided that the Catholic religion should alone be tolerated, that bishops should be obeyed in all things, and that the right of the Church to extend her possessions—through the medium, we sup pose of the last wills and testaments of her re pentant children—should not be interfered with ; and the Pope tells us, with much simplicity and good faith, that he flattered himself he had made rather a good thing than otherwise of this same convention, especially when he considered the attachment of the Spanish nation to the Ca tholic faith and the chair of St. Peter. Judge, then, of his disgust, when he finds that here also he has been deceived, that outrages have been committed, that Church property is to be sold, and the jurisdiction of the Church in many ways interfered with. The Pope protests that he will forbid the faithful from taking part in such sales, that he will make a flaw in the title of all church lands sold already under his consent, and he ad monishes all persons concerned in those matters to repent and sin no more. This is a pretty picture drawn by the hand of the Supreme Pontiff himself of the way in which he is disposing of the inheritance bequeathed by St. Peter to his successors. Devout Piedmont is lost—devouter Spain is following close upon her footsteps, and, although measures of the most ex treme severity are resorted to, they seem to be ut terly void, and have no effect. We say measures of the most extreme severity, for there is no weapon which can be drawn from the mediaeval armoury of the Popes which is not brought into requisition for the purpose of demolishing the contumacious enemies of the Church. It is of no use to preach a crusade against the enemies of the Church, for in these dark days of mawkish Liberalism there is no Simon de Montfort or Duke de Guise to execute her justice by the lance or the poniard ; and France, which still shows some regard for the chair of St. Peter, employs her troops in maintaining the tottering authority of the Pope's crazy throne, and rescues him from the vengeance which he would fain wreak on his disobedient vassals. The Pope dare not preach a crusade, but what he dares do he does heartily. He will not tolerate that the Go vernments of Spain and Sardinia should exercise that right of regulating their affairs which is in herent iu the Government of every free nation. The Pope goes a step further than he did in his attack on the liberties and independence of this nation. He contented himself with ignoring our laws ; the laws of Sardinia and Spain he professes utterly to make void and set, aside. If this claim be allowed, no law whatever is valid which has not received the previous sanction of the Pope, and any law, however valid, from which that sanction is ultimately withdrawn becomes worthless. The tem poral is swallowed up in the spiritual part of his power, and he broadly proposes to these delinquent I nations to submit to this invasion of their rights, or to take the Government of the country into their own hands and replace the Church of Rome in the dominion she has lost. Wrap this up in what language you will, it really amounts to an invitation to the subjects of these Princes to cast off their allegiance, to expel them from the throne, and to set up in their stead some one having a duller sense of national honour, and a fainter idea of that independence of foreign interference which is the natural right of every member of the great European confederacy. And these exhortations to rebellion, these proud pretensions to annihilate laws solemnly passed by the national councils of two independent nations, emanate from a petty Italian Prince, who, while he assumes to regulate , the internal polity of other States, is so little master of his own that, like the tyrants of ancient Greece, he dare not put arms in the hands of his own people, but supports himself partly by the aid of foreign mercenaries, partly . by the troops of a Power which finds a convenience in prolonging his rickety existence. The extremities of insolence and weakness, o abject dependence and insolent aggression, were never better or more forcibly displayed than by the present Pope. Here is a man who cannot keep up even the semblance of personal indepen dence, the suburbs of whose capital are infested with banditti, whose finances are hopelessly disor dered, and whose life, if left to the affection of his own subjects, would not be worth half an hour's purchase, regulating from between the bars of his prison the affairs of foreign countries, stirring up discord, provoking revolution, denouncing, threat ening, anathematising, nullifying, as if the world were at his feet, and he were the only arbiter and controller of the destinies of Europe ? Truly we may ask, how long shall this man be a snare to us ? —how long is Europe to tolerate this miserable counterfeit of mediaeval priestcraft, founded upon mediaeval superstition ? —this attempt to import into modern times that power against which the intellect of man rose up in successful rebellion three centuries ago ? Are we always to have a revolutionary power ready, if its demands be com plied with, to lend its aid to tyranny in kings, and if they be refused, to raise up their subjects in mutiny against them ? It behoves those who be lieve that the Papacy is a conservative institution well to consider these things ; and we apprehend, if they do so, they will not fail to arrive at the con clusion that, whatever be its spiritual merits, as a temporal institution, the Papacy is an evil unmiti gated by any countervailing advantage. ( From the Daily News of this day.) 1 There is more than at once strikes the eye in Sir Do Lacy Evans's speech on Tuesday last. The hon. and gallant member must have felt strongly the importance of his subject, and also have been most anxious to publish to the country his views on the conduct of the war, or he would never have selected the last half-hour of the last day of the ses sion to deliver those opinions which are founded upon professional experience extending over nearly half a century, as well as upon the latest experience in the Crimea. On all topics connected with mili tary affairs no man in the House of Commons is heard with so much a ttention as the veteran who re presents Westminster, and out of doors his knowledge and gallantry always carry with them that weight and respect which these qualities ever command amongst Englishmen. The occasion and the oppor tunity for his speech were so appropriate that they could hardly have been accidental, and accord ingly we find that both iu this country and France the last warning from Parliament to the Ministry, and the reply of the Premier, have formed the prin cipal subject of discussion since the prorogation. Sir De Lacy contrasts unfavourably the measures now taking to prosecute the war against Russiawe _li r ) those employed when we were pitted agai ll n e st u con present Allies in the Peninsula. We had, field when Ple with tends, no less than 80,000 men in the Wellington was fighting against the J e ie fl u ti t e en g a en n Napoleon, besides a Portuguese C 40,000 more, the latter being officered number which could of men. Nor was this the highest ering be reckoned under our l banners d At one period—that is that m E o n m gl e ig n i t l i ous and prolonged strugg before the 120,000 efficient Bri parts of Spain. When say, for two years befothan f the Portuguese Contingent the Englisbhy army r©- tot is turned h s ol di e rs e ciency of to-day in the home—nondo returns from the seat of war, thesewere underfigure armsfigures are in compared variousthed fi . cannot for a mom ent be denied. Even Lord Pal merston s deffid"t ma de to conquer our present enemynot attempt to refute what the gallant General asserted, but tried to extenuate the shortcomings of himself, his colleagues, and the Aberdeen Minis try, by declaring that, although we might be be hind hand in the number of C r imea as compared with thosenien s d en es t pa lit he t d o the to Spain during the last years of the war, the forces now employed were as numerous as those of the Government of that day at the commencement of # hootilitieo. In a celta,ua* acne this is true ; but all . though his Lordship acknowledged that the pops. lation of England was much greater now than from 1812 to 1814—and also allowed that the number of effective soldiers at our command ought to be propor tionably more numerous now—he quite forgot that the means of transporting men from England to the seat of war have become much more easy, quick, awl certain than they were when the century was but a dozen years old. If the number of men sent to the Crimea since hostilities first broke out wilt bear comparison with those despatched during the first years of the Peninsular war, the ships and the shipping—both in quantity and quality—at the command of Government whilst that war lasted, must not be mentioned in the same day with the splendid steam-vessels which are now to be had in any number and at the shortest notice. Those who are old enough to remember the wretched tubs which used to be chartered for the conveyance of troops in the times we speak of and the painfully de liberate manner in which all the arrangements con nected with the embarkation of soldiers were then thoefy trans_ wer effected—to say nothing of the delights of being wind bound for weeks in the Channel, and the ultimate risk all ships ran of being taken by French f r i gates or pproirvta are te a privateers—thmust an a d llo t w im t e h s g at r en ea e t f e a r ci t li b t a i n es then, and that for one soldier despatched forty o dd years ago to Portugal or Spain, twenty ought now to be sent to the Crimea. We have now steamers in abundance instead of a few indifferent sailing vessels, and as we are now masters of the sea, and our enemy of to-day has not a ship outside his own ports, the advantages which we have over those who had to prosecute a like contest at any former period are indeed great. Sebastopol is to-day vir tually much nearer England than Gibraltar was in 1813. Lord Palmerston but half states the truth of the case. The question is not altogether whether we are doing as much, or less, or more, than we did during the last war, but whether we are doing as much in proportion to the improved means now at our disposal, owing to the great advancements made in every science since the peace of 1815 ; and to this inquiry there can be but one reply. Other portions of Sir DeLacy Evans's observations show, in plain figures, that hitherto we have not in other respects done all that we might towards prose cuting the war with vigour. We have in India an army of 280,000 native, and 40,000 European, troops. Of these, although that country is through out profoundly tranquil, we have made no use whatever in the Crimea, beyond bringing over two regiments of English dragoons, via the Red Sea and Egypt, to Balaklava. Surely of so large a force, now idling away their time in Eastern can tonments, some few thousands might be- spared for service against Russia ? If it is absolutely neces sary to maintain a numerically strong body of Europeans in Hindostan, why not send our sea soned regiments from that country to the seat of war, and supply their place by corps of younger soldiers from England ? The overland route to India is now practically open for troops as well as passengers, and since the mail service between Suez and Bombay was undertaken by a private company, the Fast India Government have a large fleet of magnificent steamers lying idle at the latter port. The transport of a dozen young regi ments from England to India, and the conveyance of an equal number of veteran corps from India to the Crimea, might be effected in very few weeks. At any rate a large portion of the 40,000 Euro peans now in Indian garrisons might be spared for a season, and sent to join the army under General Simpson. To take advantage of the only great practical school in which our army has seen service for the last forty years, and send its pupils thence to where they are most required, would be but fol lowing the example set us by the French with regard to Algiers—an example we cannot too soon imitate. But perhaps the most glaring neglect of means at oar disposal since the war broke out is, our having made no use of the native troops of India. Over and over again have many of these corps volunteered, and asked to be allowed to take the field against Russia. With some of the Hin doo soldiers there might be difficulties to over come on the score of religion, it being against the rules of their " caste " to embark on board ship. But there are in our Native Army many thousand Mahometans, all of whom hate the Czar, as the common enemy of their faith ; and these, to a man, would deem it a boon and an honour to be allowed to fight side by side with English, French,Sardinian, and Turkish troops. A short order from the Go vernor-General would place at least 25,000 hardy, energetic, brave, and trained Mussulman soldiers at our disposal in a few hours, and within five weeks of their leaving India they could be with the army before Sebastopol, When to this force we add 10,000 European troops, which could be well spared from India, and some five or six battalions of the line which might be relieved from Mauritius, the Cape, Canada, and the West Indies—partly by raising local corps, and partly by a more ex tended employment of our English militia regi ments—it will be found that we have, at the lowest estimate, some 45,000 trained men in various parts of the world, who might, without the slightest risk to any portion of the empire, be added to the army now in the Crimea. With these plain and incontrovertible facts staring us in the face—and with the full knowledge that, not withstanding the public and patriotic spirit evinced by all ranks of the nation, no encouragement has as yet been given to the militia to volunteer for service before the enemy—is it to be wondered at that the most experienced soldier holding a seat in the Le gislature did at the last hour of the session protest against the time and opportunity that have been lost since we first determined to give Russia battle ? Still less can we doubt that the feelings of the na tion are entirely in accord with those of the veteran member, and that during the next few weeks it will watch narrowly how far Lord Palmerston will re deem his oft-repeated pledges about carrying on the war with all earnestness and vigour. FREEDOM OR SLAVERY. Freedom, or Slavery, which will ye have ? Englishmen, Frenchmen, reply ! Crouch to the Despot, or strike for the Brave, Valiantly conquer or die ? Civilisation, Progress, and Art, Liberty, Honour, and Right ; From these, won by Freedom, we never will part, For these we will shout in the fight ! Unsheath the sword, with hand on the heart, Strike home and conquer the foe; Let the Barbarian, the merciless smart, And quail at the terrible blow. Englishmen, Frenchmen, you've nobly begun The Battle for Freedom and Right ; Hand in hand, side by side, till the vict'ry's won And Liberty blesses the sight ! Englishmen, Frenchmen, united at last ! There is much still to conquer and gain; Be brothers in future—smile at the past, And Peace, Love, and Order, will reign. The Patriot, the down-trodden Nations rejoice, And hopefully look to the fight; Englishmen, Frenchmen, which is your choice ? To be Slam ! or have Freedom and Right ? C. SHEARD. ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A LICENSED VICTUALLER. — Last night, between the hours of nine and ten, consider able excitement was created in the immediate vicinity of the Victoria Theatre, in consequence of a report being raised that Mr. T. Grammer, the landlord] of the Pear Tree Tavern, had been fatally stabbed by a woman at present unknown. Upon proceeding to the premises the reporter was informed that a woman came to the bar of the house, and after calling for some refreshment, which she was served with, she tendere d a weresrign for the barman to take the amount o ut of. correct change was handed to her, but instead of her taki nd ng it away she attempted to "ri n g the changes," a said that she was one or tw o shillings short. A disturbance in consequence took place, which a nd inflicting the in duced Mr. Grammer to come forward and recommend landlord came out from behind the bar and attempted her to leave quietly. This she to turn her out. The moment she reached the street she t r l e l e a d n landlord, r d d , o, espied another woman sellings.soheespeiszetdrotters, when, perceiving a knife on her stall, h it, and made plunges at . several desperate wounds on his face, which caused the blood to serious flow in streams.

They made the trip com fortably seated in nine vans, and took their departure from the school-house in George-street, St. Giles's, amid the cheers of a large number of their parents and the in habitants of the neighbourhood. At Willesden they were supplied with a good dinner and tea, and means of amusement and exercise were provided for them in the shape of bats, balls, swings, bows and arrows, donkey riding, &c. In the afternoon the four curates of the two parishes, and several friends of the school, joined the youthful throng, and helped on the amusements. The expenses of the treat were defrayed by special contribu tions, so as to avoid resorting to the funds of the school ; and, though sufficient funds have not been raised to pay the whole of the expense incurred, the managers trust—looking at the beneficial results likely to arise from such a day's treat to children so circumstanced-- that there will be found, from those interested in the wel fare of the poor, aid sufficient to prevent the deficiency fall4s upon the teachers of the 50h0015. 100 100 100 20 12 i 3 1 i 50 25 12 12i1. 20 50 25 40 5 St. 25 St. 20 St. 15• 10 St. St. -6i to St. 20 50 St. 8 to 10 St. 100 all 10'; 100 100 all 100 9 6 100 100 100 all all 100 100 100 100 100 100
