EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE AGAINST A COFFEEHOUSE REEPER.-Mr. Thomas Howard, lately keeping a coffee • house in the Haymarket, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing two curious ivory figures, of the value of £5, the property of Mr. Michael Hart, coffeehouse-keeper, of 200, Haymarket. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street appeared for the accused. Mr. Hart said—About a month ago I entered into nego tiations with Mr. Howard to take his business at 200, Haymarket. After a good deal of bargaining, I agreed to give £l5O for the business, and to pay £3O for repairs, but after wards it was arranged that we should be partners; but this was again upset, and Mr. Howard said I should give him £l5O, and take all on the premises. I had seen the figures in question in Mr. Howard's room. On Mr. Howard leaving he brought down his chest, and I demanded to see what the box contained. He then asked me " Whether I was an idiot," but afterwards opened the chest, and then I found a quantity of bedding, &c., a box of cigars, ana tw• bottles of wine. I told him he had no right to take the things, and that I would give him a box of cigars and two bottles of wine. I afterwards missed the figures. On Monday last Howard called in to buy a cigar, and I then asked him for the figures, and he then replied, " Do you take me for a idiot ? Do you think I was going to let you have everything ?" I then told him that if he did not let me have the figures I would give him in charge, and last night I went to his lodgings and gave him in charge. A constable said he found the figures in the prisoner's box. WEDNESDAY. A long, but not a tedious day's sport. The racing com menced at half-past 11, and closed just as the dusk began to thicken, at about half-past 4. The incidents which marked the proceedings were not very important, and they are not likely to be long remembered. The great match for £2,000, between Wallace and Ben Webster, greatly to the disap pointment of all persons present, did not take place. Both horses were in the town, and reported well, but it is said that Ben Webster has not quite recovered from the injuries which he received when he got loose at Goodwood, and therefore Lord St. Vincent, deeming discretion the better part of valour, let Ben Webster "give up his part," and paid the £5OO forfeit. The success of Old Calabar for the Glasgow Stakes was, of course, a foregone conclusion, but be beat so utterly bad an animal that his position in the Derby betting was not much improved. Still his fine sweep ing action was greatly admired, and on returning to the weighing-stand be was surrounded by a large crowd of people "learned in horses," and who expressed only one opinion—that they were glad that so fine a horse belonged to such a ripe and true sportsman as Sir R. Bulkeley. After the race the Leviathan bookmaker from the North offered 1,000 to 100 eget Old Calabar for the Derby. By the way, the dam of Old Calabar, who Sir R. Bulkeley thought was too old for stud purposes, and whose age and infirmities were growing on her, was shot early this year. A partial settlement of the Cambridgeshire accounts took place this morning, but very little time was afforded for ad justing balances. Indeed, between the breakfast hour and the time appointed for the first race, there was scarcely " shaving time" for a large majority of speculators.

The winner was claimed by Mr. T. Parr. Match, 100 soya each, h ft. D.I. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was any inventory taken ? Prosecutor—No. Mr. Howard did not know his own mind. Prisoner—He bamboozled me out of the cigars. Mr. Lewis—l think I can soon settle the case. When did you, Mr. Hart, see the figures last in the house ? Prosecutor—About a fortnight ago—about the 10th. It was last Monday when we came to the arrangement that I was to have all the things on the premises. Mr. Lewis—And the last time you saw them was on the 10th. There is no proof the things were there last Monday, and the agreement is dated the 28th. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l think I must take it that the things were there last Monday. Who is to show they were not. Things seem to have been done in a loose manner, There is not enough to fix the accused with felony, but I must say that it was not proper to walk off with the things in the way Mr. Howard had done. I think I must have some security. Mr. Lewis-1 have no objection if Mr. Hart thinks he has a 4 'title to the figures to let them remain in the hands of the police for a fortnight, that Mr. Hart may try the question at the County Court, but if your worship thinks there is any case for trial send it. Subsequently Mr. Tyrwhitt agreed to take the accused's recognisance to appear in a fortnight. The accused had in his possession about £2OO, whicia was ordered to be given up to him. THAM S. SAILING NEAR THE WIND.— E Mr. Smith, An attorney, came before Mr. Selfe, previous to the hearing of the night charges, and asked for a summons against a person named Benjamin Lavey, outfitter, of the West India Dock-road, Limehouse, for detaining some money belonging to a sailor named Williams. Mr. Smith said that the seaman received a £2O Bank of England note, and some other monies, from his captain, at a shipping office, and he owed a little money to a boarding house keeper, named Judge, with whom he was lodging, and a little to Lavey. The sailor, accompanied by Judge, went to Lavey's shop to discharge his account, and handed to the Jew a £2O note. The money actually owing to Lavey was £5, and to Judge Xi u s., but Lavey kept the £2O note, and refused to give the sailor any change on the grounds that Judge was indebted to him. He sub mitted that Lavey had no right to &tad+, the sailorigs money for another man's debt, and that, if it was not stealing„it was sailing very near the wind. Mr. R. Ten Broeck's Amy, 3 yrs. 85t.... (G. Fordham) 1 Mr. Savile's Lady Blanche, 4 yrs, Bst 71b (T. Aldcroft) 2 Betting-0 to 4 on Lady Dian,he, who lay two ieugtbla in the rear of Amy until nearing the New Stand, where they closed, Amy having the best of it all the way up the hill, winning by a neck. Fifty Pound Plate, for three-yr-olds and upwa r d s . Win- Mr. Selfe—Did Judge authorise Lavey to detain the £2O note ? Mr. Smith—No, certainly not. Judge went there bona fide with the sailor to see him discharge a debt, and Lavey ought to have returned the change (Ll 5) to the sailor, after deducting the amount of his debt. I submit it is a most impudent and illegal proceeding. Mr. Selfe—No doubt of it. Take a summons against Lavey. GROSS OU7RAGE ON A YOUNG GIRL BY A RAILWAY GUARD. At the Strabane Quarter Sessions on Friday last, John Morris, a guard on the Londonderry and En niskillen Railway, was placed at the bar before the Worshipful Richard Nunn, Q.C., and a common jury, charged with an assau lt w i t h i n t en t t o violate . Miss Jane Hasley, an i n t e lli gent -l oo k ing . of about 16 years of age; a secon d count charging him with a common assault on h er w hil st travelling as a passenger by the • train. It appeared that the prosecntrix was the daughter of the Marquis of Abercorn's forester, a man of superior i n t e lli gence an d o f great respectability in his station. The prisoner also filled for many years a situation of great responsibility, that of guard to the Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway. The prosecutrix, Miss Jane Hasley, having served an apprenticeship in Strabane to a dressmaker, in Oct., 1860, she was sent to improve herself at the esta blishment of Mrs. Rankin, in Londonderry. She was allowed home to see her family at Baronscourt every six or eight weeks. On some of these occa sions she was accompanied by lier brother, but more frequently she was alone. O n one o f th ese occas i ons in July last, the prisoner put her into a first-class carriage, she in motion a cheaper ticket, and when the train was motion be contrived to enter the carriage of which sh e was the sole occupant, on the side opposite the platform. He then put his arms round her neck, kissed her several times threw her down on the seat of the carriage, and took indecent liberties with her. He promised her marriage, although it appeared from the evi dence that he was already a married man Some days transpired before she had an opportunity of telling her father what had occurred. A Miss Mitchell was examined, and she also stated that the prisoner had taken improper liber ties with her in one of the carraiges. The Crown withdrew the indictment for the assault with intent, and the jury found the pri soner guilty of the common assault. He was sentenced to be imprisoned for 18 calendar months.

The per sonal comprehends 3,441 agents, receiving in salaries 4,793,400 f. thus apportioned :-12 inspectors -general, -at from 9,000 f. to 12,0001. per annuin ; 56 directors of divi sions, at from 5,000 f. to 7,000 f. ; 74 inspectors, at from 3,000 f. to 4,000 f. ; 10 pupils, at from 1,500 to 2,000 f. ; 200 directors of sections, at from 2,000 f. to 3,000 f. ; 30 receivers and translators, at from 2,000 f. to 3,000 f. ; 60 transmitters, at from 1,500 f. to 2,000 f. ; 1,260 station-masters, at from 1,2001. to 1,800 f.; 91 supernumeraries, at 900 f.; 1,200 superintendents, at from I,ooof. to 1,200 f. ; 507 messengers, at from 5JOf. to I,ooof. ; 1 storekeeper and 25 engineers, at from 1,200 f. to 3,000 f. Over and above the service rendered to the public departments, the receipts for private tele graphs amount to 5,500,0001. during the financial year. DEVOURED BY RATS.—In the last years of the Restoration, says the Toulonnais, a report was sent to the Minister of Marine, announcing the disappearance from on board a brig of the royal navy of a piece of cannon, which was declared .to have been: devoured by rats. The astonished Minister wrote, with his own hand, at the foot of this singular document, " Approved of, on account of the singularity of the fact." An in cident more easy to digest, but still very extra ordinary, has just occurred at Toulon, where 59,000 kilo grammes of Taganrog wheat, which the naval authorities had sent to be ground at the mills of Dardennes, have com pletely disappeared, and the rats, not satisfied with eating the corn, have devoured the sacks also. The maritime pre fect, however, was unwilling to aclanit that rats alone could have done the mischief, and ordered an inquiry to be insti tuted. The consequence has been that the head miller has absconded, leaving a deficit in his account, as well as in his stores. The company has engaged to indemnify the marine, and justice is now engaged in investigating the matter, ners extra; maiden allowances. A.F. Mr. G. Bryan's Waterwitch, 3 yrs, 7st 71b (J.

Private letters from Panama, dated the 7th of October, state that the Tartar, 20, screw, Captain Hayes, and the Termagant, 25, screw, Capt. Hall, were lying at anchor there at that date. The Warrior, 40, screw, Capt. Hon. A. A. Coch rane, C. 8., arrived at Portland from Spithead at 610 p.m. on Monday. On Tuesday two members of the Board of Admiralty arrived at Weymouth, and were to go on board the ship yesterday morn ing, when it was expected she would proceed to sea. The wind still remained yesterday strong in the Channel at E.N.E. The Megmra screw troopship, Commander Hen derson, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday on her re turn from the Channel Islands, where she has been employed in relieving the troops stationed in the islands. The Himalaya screw troopship, Capt. John Sec combe, is filling up coal at Portsmouth in readiness for her West Indian voyage. The Rosario, 11, screw steamer, 150-horse power, having been completed at Sheerness, was yesterday taken out of the steam basin to be attached to the first division of the steam reserve in the Medway, under the command of Capt. Sehomberg. The Flying Fish, 6, screw steamsloop, 350-horse power, Commander W. H. Anderson, arrived at Sheerness yesterday, from the coast of Scotland, to be docked and have her defects made good. The screw steamsloop Icarus, 11, 150-horse power, Com mander Nowell Salmon, also arrived at Sheerness yesterday from the coast of Scotland to refit. During the time the Icarus has been stationed on the coast of Scotland she has been employed in pro tecting the fisheries. The screw steam gunvessel Lee, 5, 80-horse power, left Sheerness yesterday, on a trial trip, for the purpose of testing her machinery. The Sebastopol, War-department transport, com menced shipping at the Ordnance-wharf, Chatham, yesterday, 24 32-pounder cast-iron guns, together with a number of cases of condemned rifled muskets, for Woolwich. The 32-pounders will have the vents repaired before being issued for service. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam yacht Osborne, Master-Commander George H. R. Bower, in the service of the Board of Admiralty, yesterday left Woolwich,and moored at Greenhithe to await orders. The iron screw steam storeship Industry, Master Commander George J. Hodges, having undergone extensive repairs in hull and machinery at Wool wich yesterday, proceeded to Deptford to ship vic tualling stores for Rio de Janeiro and the Isle of Ascension. The Industry embarked from Woolwich three Armstrong guns for the storeship Madagas car, Captain Richard D. White, at Rio. The Commodore's flagship Fisgard, at Woolwich► has been for some weeks past crowded with super numerary seamen who have returned from leave of absence, after being paid off from foreign service, and as the Fisgard is devoted to the double purpose of a training ship for lads and a receiving ship for continuous service men, the inconvenience from want of accommodation and distinct messes and sleeping berths is at times very great. A portion of the platforms for the 100-pounder Armstrong guns to be mounted on the centre and No. 1 bastions at the entrance to the river Medway, in lieu of the existing 68. pounder and 10-inch guns, with the armament, solid and hollow shot, shell, &c., were disembarked at the Ordnance camber under the direction of the Assistant-Superintendent of Military Stores. The remainder of the stores, together with the Armstrong guns, will arrive from Woolwich in the course of a few days, when the guns will be immediately mounted in position. THE ARM} . In order to provide some rational kind of amuse ment for the men composing the sub division of the depot brigade, Royal Artillery, stationed at Sheer ness, during the winter months, the officers attached to the division are making arrangements for the formation of a Shaksperian amateur thea trical club, to consist of a limited number of officers and men of all ranks. Excellent accommodation exists in the garrison school-room for the produc tion of various pieces, and by permission of Col. Needham the building will be used, when required, for theatrical purposes. A similar attempt was in troduced into the garrison about two years since, and was attended with the most marked success on every occasion of amateur theatrical performances taking place. The Royal Artillery officers at Sheer ness have undertaken to provide the necessary scenes. Yesterday the sth and 17th companies of Royal Engineers, which have just arrived at headquarters Chatham, the former from Woolwich and the latter from Malta, were inspected at Brompton barracks by Lieut.-Col. J. F. M. Browne, C.B. The sth com pany, prior to its being sent to Chatham to be held in readiness for embarkation for foreign service, was stationed at Woolwjch 11 years. It is composed al most exclusively of tailors, who were employed in the Royal Engineer * clothing establishment at Wool wich in making up the clothing for the entire corps of Royal Engineers, under the direction of Quarter master J. Mutch, commissary of clothing, assisted by a staff of sergeants and cutters. The latter remain at Woolwich, where the soldier tailors are to be su perseded by civilian workmen. A considerable ad ditional expense will be incurred to the Government as the Royal Engineers, who are excellent work men, made the clothing at considerably less cost than the private workmen. On the sth company being augmented for foreign service it will, of course, be made up by a due proportion of men of various trades. The 17th company had been at Malta six years. The excess of tailors in the 6 th company will be attached to the depot companies at headquarters, With the view of carrying out the provisions of the royal warrant of July 31, 1861, wherein it is provided that soldiers who have become se e h n a ti r t g le e d b t y o one good conduct badge after three years' servi ce shall not be allowed to obtain their di purchase on more advantageous terms than those laid down in the Royal warrant of the Ist of July, 1848, a circular from the War-office, signed by Sir B. Hawes, K.C.8., Under -Secretary for War, was yesterday received at Chatham, directing that, in order to carry out the intention of the beforemen tioned warrant, the scale of rates for soldiers pur chasing their discharge, according to the War office regulations, shall stand as follows :—Above 5 and under 7 years' actual service, with one distin guishing mark ; Europeans—cavalry, £25; infantry, X 18; blacks, £ll. The same provision is to be in troduced in the Artillery scale of the finance regu lations. The other night, says the Tuan'tHerald, a man named James Healy, from Aghlosk, while returning from the fair in company with his wife and some friends, was waylaid on the road, knocked down, and beaten with sheep crooks, by two men named Pat and Dennis Mullin, of Gal lagh, and received such injuries that he died neat day.

E ' TEMPLE. To-day is the Templars' jubilee. At the end of their long vacation, just before putting off all childish pastimes and sitting down to serious work, they are preparing for a great gala day. The Prince of Wales comes down to the Temple to enrol himself in their ranks. That he has long been a student of d la izn i e n rs a betterin nany I sense of sethca,onurtis k that im no p w li n ed a b n y d eating appre ciated by the people of this country. He is pro bably more intimately acquainted with the history of our legal system, and has a better appreciation of the strange medley produced by feudalism, civil law, and modern jurisprudence, than the majority of the students who will emerge from pleaders' and comeseo nvey t a o n c t e a r k s ' e chambers a to l a w c h y e e e r r , h a n i m d . t o He e a y e the w compliment of formal fellowship to a profession which has always been to Kings of England a powerful aid, and occasionally in critical times a wholesome admonition. 'there is no Royal road to the acquisition of knowledge, and the heir apparent to the Crown has had to work up his military and his legal education as sedu lously as any youth at a Military College or an Inn of Court ; but the ascents which are so rugged to the ordinary aspirant naturally and properly become plain to the foot of a Royal Prince. The knowledge of the sword and the law is proper and appropriate in a young man who will, in the course of nature and of all ordinary proba bilities, have to direct the exercise of the one for the protection and the administration of the other ; but no one wishes that he should work his way from the ranks to his military command, or that he should test his powers of digestion by an arduous course of practice upon the Temple commons. The Prince is already a Colonel; to•day he becomes a Counsel learned in the law, and a Royal and learned Master of the Bench of the Middle Temple. The Templars have made extraordinary efforts to receive their Prince, and to induce the old Temple to look as unlike itself as possible. One might think, looking upon the tents and pavilions that are set up, that the successors of the Knights Templars had all been converted to Judaism, and were going forth to live in their own gardens during the Feast of Tabernacle. Had it been possible, we had rather the Prince saw this quaint old lawyers' haunt in its every-day dinginess. There is a great deal of cha racter about the place, which might not be without its suggestions to a mind open to y outhfui impres sions. It is easy to see that this Temple is not that which was built by Solomon, and a fertile thought might pass into Royal memory that a princely student learns the law that he may aid to improve it, and becomes one of a profession of lawyers in order that he may know how far they are to be trusted with such improvement. When the Prince is asked to open a library of many thousand volumes, and is told that in books it is the least complete of all the Inns of Court Libraries, it must naturally occur to him that a science must be in a very un satisfactory state when it is scattered through such a mass of mouldering tomes. The walls themselves in the Temple will sometimes remind him of the im pudent defences of old absurdities not unfrequently met with in those admirable Comwentaries written within a few feet of the spot on which he will stand. Upon the most dreary and decrepit brick wall in the neighbourhood he may read the lively boast, " Instar phcenicis revivisco," and he may think of some now dead and buried anomaly belauding itself in the pages of Blackstone. If he looks up in the Fountain-court, he will see two sundials carefully painted and preserved as traps to catch any stray sunbeam that may venture into the Tem ple, and to serve it with process ad testcandum ; and he will also remark that the Benchers have sensibly added a very hardworking and trustworthy clock, in case the efforts of these solar tipstaffs should fail. The Prince will not fail to recognise in this elaborate machinery for determining the time of day a fond illustration of the maxim which lies at the bottom of all a lawyer's profits, of all a counsel lor's prolixity, of all a conveyancer's wordiness, and of all the voluminous incomprehensibility of the statute-book. It is an illustration in dialling and in clockwork of the time-honoured maxim—Supetylua non nocent. Moreover, if the Prince could have quietly contemplated this collection of little lanes and small quadrangles in its natural semi-monastic state, the echoes which have slept during the long vacation just sluggishly awakening to the steps of the first hurried attorney's clerk, he might have had a better idea of the place whereof he is to become a Governor, and of the sort of life which leads an ordinary man up to the position of a Master of the Bench. We would not ask him to people the place with the tenants of other days ; to see the Templars in gaudy suits and burnished swords jostling forth through the gates to fill the neighbouring coffee-houses and try a tilt with the lion of the day, be he the great Ben Johnson, or glorious John Dryden, or other hero of his generation. Nor would we ask him to see Goldsmith and Johnson and Boswell forgather ing under the cloisters and walking off towards the Mitre. These were in days before the London gas works. But we could wish that the Prince could have seen in their normalttate some of those hard-read ing denizens of the fourth floors, who are much too excited just now by his presence and the Benchers' cheer to appear in their natural state. We do not mean the noisy gentlemen who are but what the student class all over the world is, but the pale young men whose cheeks have taken precociously the parchment tint. These are they who are bartering their youth for the chance of a distinguished old age. They are the Maynards, and Holts, and Yorkes, and Jocelyns, and Murrays, and Camdens, and Thurlows, and Eldons of the future. Tremendous will be their labour before they become Masters of the Bench. But, when this and other successes have been achieved, it is possible that the Prince may have to deal with some of them, when he and they are gray, as Chief Justices or Lord Chancellors, and they shall become the progenitors of future nobles. This is a large wheel in the social machine of England. Here in the Temple is the breeding ground for future noble families; here are the nests of all who shall crawl and of all who shall soar to the high places of the law. It should be interesting to a Prince to look upon the starters in this race. Let none, however, grudge those who succeed, for it is a toilsome life, and often thrown away. But if the Prince, wandering in thought from the artificial spectacle before him, might find in this lawyers' hive some things which are decrepit with out being interesting, and weak without being venerable, like the law itself, whereof the Temple is the school, yet there are other things which, again like that law, have strong roots in the past and a worthy hold upon the present. He will say his prayers in a church where Crusaders took the vow and the badge. He will feast in a hall where Queen Elizabeth held solemn revel, and which is adorned with the spoils of the Spanish Armada. In the long lines of emblazonries of the officer-bearers of the Society he will read a proof of the quiet security with which, for century after century, the custom of succession is observed in this conservative country, and especially in these conservative haunts ; and he may reflect how easy it must be to retain the affection of such a people. There is history all round him in this place, and history is not a mere shadow, it is a living power. History not only tells us that things we see have been before our time, but makes us love them because they impersonate old memories, and preserve them because we love them. The education of the Prince is said to have been so judicious that we may believe him to have already acquired sufficient constitutional learning and legal knowledge to make good use of the impressions created by what must be to him a novel and interesting sight. It is not much he can discover of the real nature and the habits of the lawyers by seeing them in their holiday mood, but we hope he will recognise the good influences of modern improvements when he contrasts the wea pons of the old Templars which now decorate the h a ll with the efficiency of the soldierlike volunteers whom the Temple has been able to muster from its own members as his guard of honour.

The ad vanced party assert that the General is recalled. Others say that the Emperor of the French has changed his poli tical views, and that he will soon withdraw the army of occupation from Rome. The fact is that General de Goyon was called to Paris by the telegraph. Before he left he went to see the Pope, who said he blessed him with all his heart, and that he was convinced the General would defend the cause of the Holy See in presence of the Emperor and of his Ministers. lam certain that General de Goyon will not be absent from Rome more than three weeks.
