POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AT A NOTORIOUS DEN.—Elizabeth Thomas was charged with stealing at 17, Bear-street, Leicester square, a coffee-shop, and most notorious brothel, and where several robberies have taken place, the watch and chain of Mr. Charles Barbs, wine merchant, Dean-street, Soho. From the evidence of Mr. Charles Barba, it app eared that he on the 29th of Nov. last met the prisoner at the house and stayed with her the night, and placed his watch and chain on the table. At six he woke and found the pri soner and the watch and chain gone. Last night he met her in Regent-street, and gave her in charge. The value of the watch and chain was £L On speaking to the land lady she said the girl had done the same thing before. Inspector Holden said it was a most notorious house, and the worst in the neighbourhood, and the resort of thieves and prostitutes. Leach, 324 A, said as soon as prisoner taxed her with being with him she said " Yes, but 1 did not have your watch," but afterwards told him to go to a house in the Haymarket and ask for the duplicate. This morning the man gave him the duplicate, and said the prisoner had pledged it. Mr. Albert interpreted the evidence, Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week. THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

From the diplomatic documents laid by the Italian Government before the Chamber of Depu ties at Turin, we select the following despatch of the Minister of Victor-Emmanuel at Madrid to M. Calderon-Collan tes, Minister of Foreign Affairs : " Madrid, 24th Nov. "Monsieur le Ministre—Having made known to my Government the non-acceptance by the Cabinet of her most Catholic Majesty of the last conciliatory means proposed, vs ith the friendly support of France, for putting an end to the long differences on the subject of the Neapolitan archives, I have just received orders to apply for my passports, and quit this capital. "In now making to you, Monsieur le Ministre, this painful application, I feel the more lively regret that a few days ago I thought I might consider the difference as solved, since the formula so happily fixed on by the French Ambassador, and adopted in its textual tenour by your Excellency, had been completely accepted by my Government. " In the midst of those regrets, however, I take with me, in leaving Spain, a great consolation in the sympathies, as lively as spontaneous, the con stant marks of which I have been so happy as to everywhere meet with in this generous nation, so well able from its own heroic antecedents to justly appreciate the noble efforts made by Italy to complete and secure her national independence. Those sympathies, so marked and so reciprocal, as well as the evident interests of our respective nations, lead me to hope that the unfortunate inter ruption of ordinary good relations between the two Governments will not be of long duration. In the meantime I am authorised to leave Baron Cavalchini charged with the archives and with the business of the mission. " Personally, I can only take with me on my departure the grateful remembrance of the courtesy and obliging consideration of which I have been the object on your part, Monsieur le Ministre, as well as on that of the other functionaries with whom I have had the honour of finding myself in relation. " I beg your Excellency to accept the fresh assur ances of my high consideration. " TECCO." The following is a circular from Baron Ricasoli to the Italian representatives at foreign Courts : " Turin, Nov. 30. " Sir,—His Majesty's Minister at Madrid has received from the King's Government the order to quit that capital, leaving to a secretary of legation the task of despatching current business. I think right to give to his Majesty's legations some ex planations on an event which hto modified the state of our relations with Spain: " You are aware that the Spanish Consul of Lisbon received orders to take possession of the archives of the late Neapolitan consulate. This measure gave rise to a rather long discussion be tween the two Governments. It was adopted, it appears, without the knowledge of the President of the Spanish Cabinet, and M. Calderon Collantes, Minister of Foreign Affairs of her Catholic Majesty, was pleased at first to reduce it to very small pro portions. But we soon learned that similar orders had been given to a great many Spanish consuls. laving thus acquired the conviction that the inci dent referred to was not purely accidental, but was one of a series of measures announcing a firm de termination on the part of the Minister of her Catholic Majesty, the King's Government thought right to address observations to the Cabinet of Madrid. " Spain had, in fact, no right to the Neapolitan archives, which had become the property of the Italian Government; and the Spanish Cabinet, which had declared that it would not intervene in any manner in the affairs of Italy, gave by that act direct support to the pretensions of the ex-King of Naples. It thus in reality assumed a position which was quite different to its declarat ions. It conferred the rights of a belligerent Power on a pretender who had fallen from his throne by a revolution, and had left his former territory after a regular capitu lation ; and it prevented the Government of King Victor Emmanuel from exercising part of the rights and fulfilling part of the obligations which had been confided to it by the will of the Italian popula tions. "In consequence of the prudent counsels of the French Government, which in a friendly man ner offered its good offices, the Spanish Govern meet declared that it was ready to give up to the local authorities the documents relative to the private affairs of Italian subjects; but it added that it did not think right to restore those of a public character. " After the profound discussion which had been entered into on the legal question, this distinction was not admissible. At the point at which the negotiations had arrived, it was not possible to accept the restitution of a part of the documents without at the same time admitting the right of Spain to retain the other part. The legal question —that which had become the most important— would in that way have been implicitly decided in a manner unfavourable to the King's Government. At one moment the Cabinet of Madrid itself ap peared to admit the justice of this reason. " On its part the King's Government, acknow ledging the efforts which France had constantly made to terminate the misunderstanding in a friendly spirit, thought right to show itself all the more conciliatory in matters of form, from its hav ing been obliged to be firm on the merits of the question. In consequence, M. Calderon-Collantes proposed to give up to the local authorities all the documents contained in the archives, accompanied by the declaration that the Spanish Government had acquired the conviction that the said papers only concerned private interests. " In insisting for a direct restitution, the King's Government might have appeared to call for an express act of recognition from Spain. But that idea was far from us, for his Majesty's Ministers have too profound a sentiment of the dignity of the country, not to be convinced that Italy could not accept a recognition obtained by such expe dients. I therefore consented to the solution pro posed, recommending, however, the King's Minis ter at Madrid to insert in his reply some reserves destined to prevent any erroneous interpretation. " To my great astonishment, this proposition of his Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs of her Catholic Majesty was not approved of by his colleagues, and Baron Tecco was called on to with draw the two notes in which the legal question was developed. "Evidently, it was impossible to consent to this demand without imposing a condition which would give to the transaction a character of perfect reci procity. I therefore only accepted the proposed solution, subject to the Spanish Government, on its part, abstaining, in the orders to be given to its consuls, from mentioning that the archives did not comprise political documents. The Spanish Government having refused to admit this last con ciliatory measure, I was obliged to submit to the King an order for the recall of his Minister from Madrid. " These explanations will enable you to give to the Government of - all the information it may desire on this affair. You will besides take advantage of the opportunity afforded to you to remark on the attitude which the King's Government has maintained towards Spain down to these latter times. When in November, 1860, her Catholic Majesty's Government re called its Minister from Turin, the King's Govern ment, wishing to give a proof of the value it attached to the continuation of friendly relations with the Court of Madrid, did not follow the example set it, but preferred to depart from established usages, rather than interpret in a hostile spirit the resolu tion of the Spanish Government. " Since that epoch, whatever was our desire to see the Government of her Catholic Majesty re-es tablish completely its relations with us, we have never, as I have had the honour to tell you, solicited from the Spanish Government an act of recognition which it would have been natural to expect from it, on account of the analogy between the events which have occurred in Italy and those which consolidated constitutional monarchy in Spain. We have, more over, carefully abstained from throwing on the Spanish Government the responsibility of the en couragements given by some subjects of her Catholic Majesty to the desperate efforts against the order -= :;:: may,_...-- :.'t,._ R.E.POR 7'. TOR TRADE. of things now established in Italy. 'We have main• tained the same silence with regard to the insults which a portion of the Spanish press daily heaped on the Government, and even on his Majesty, our august master, personally. "In re calling our Minister from Madrid, we have therefore ceded neither to a movement of vexation nor to a sentiment of exaggerated susceptibility. This determination has been imposed on us by the duty of protecting the national dignity, which can not permit, without protest, the Court of Madrid to continue to injure the rights and to thwart the in terests of a nation bound to Spain by ancient friendship.—Accept, etc., " RICASOLI." VIE NORTH BRITON.-OFFICIAL TO THE LORDS OF THE COMMITTEE OF PRIVY COUNCIL My Lords,—On receiving your instructions I proceeded, in conjunction with Capt. Harris, Nautical Assessor to the Board of Trade, to hold an inquiry into the loss of the North Briton, on the morning of the sth of November last, on the coast of Labrador. The North Briton was an iron screw steamer, built in 1853 on the Clyde ; her gross ton nage was 2,187 tons, and she was owned by the Montreal Ocean Steamship Company, trading between Liverpool and Quebec. She left Quebec on her homeward voyage on the 2d of November, commanded, on this occasion, by Mr. WI. Grange, who holds an extra master's certificate of com petency, granted in 1851, and who ordinarily comman3s the ship Hibernian, belonging to the same company. The ship was fully and properly equipped for the voyage. She had:a crew of ninety-nine men,.all told, and carr:ed 121 passengers a n d genera l cargo. H er d raug ht of water on leavin g Quebec was 22 feet forward and 21 f 6 inches aft. The vessel grounded going dawn fig river St. Lawrence, off Hare Island, while in charge of a pilot, but she came off the next tide, and proceeded on her voyage, having apparently sus'ained no damage. At 3 p.m. of the 3d she was off Cape de Monts, distant about 31 miles, and from thence took her departure, shaping her course east, for the west point of Anticosti, and cont:nued on that course till 2 p.m. on the 4th, when, under the impression that they had entered the Canadian Channel, the course was altered to E.S.E. till 4 p m., when land was seen on the beam, supposed to be in the vicinity of Thunder Point. The weather, which had previously beep boisterous, had moderated, but was somewhat thick with drizzling rain, so that no accurate bearings could be obtained. At this time soundings were taken with 90 fathoms of line, but no bot tom was found, which seemed to confirm the master's sus picion that the land seen was somewhere in the neigh bourhood of Thunder Point. The ship was then hauled off the land S.E. and by S., to regain the fairway of the channel, the engines were slowed to half speed, and soundings were taken every half hour till 7 pm. The course was then altered to S.E. and by E. till mid night, up to which time sounding's continued to be taken also every half hour. At midnight the lest soundings gave 65 fathoms, when the master, hav:ag then no doubt that ' he was in the fairway of the Channel, gave orders to steer E.S.E. and to go on at fall spec]. The maste - , who had been on deck since 4 a.m,, then went below, having fur ther directed the second mate, who came on wa' eh at night, to slop the vessel and take a cast of the lead at 1 a,m., which, order, after consulting his charts, the maser deemed to be unnecessary, and countermanded. About 1 2G a.m. on the morning of the sth the vessel stack. The master, who was in bed, rushed on deck, and saw breakers on the port bow. He found that the engines had been stopped, and on the impulse of the moment gave an order to reverse, but as the ship began to strike heavily, the order was recalled before it could be obeyed. Finding that the water was rushing into the engine-room, orders were at once issued to clear away the boats, and promptly attended to. The original intention was to get the beat over, lower them level with the gunwale, and await day light ; but fearing, from the rolling of the ship, that they might be starved, they were 'owe - ed into the water and passed astern. This was more easily accomplished on the one side than the other, as, owing to the ship having a list to port, it required more time to free the starboard boats. From a careful inquiry into this part of the case I ant clearly of opinion that no undue time was lost in this ope ration, nor did any impediment mist from the mode in which the boats were stowed. The master attempted to tranquillise the passengers, and begged them to remain i n the saloon till daylight, but not succeeding in his attempt, and fearing injury from the falling of the masts if they re mained on deck, the women and children were placed in two of the boats, one of which remained near the ship, and the other made its way to Mingan Island. At daylight it was found that the sh'p had grounded on a reef cff Perroquets Island, upon which a lauding was effected. No life was lost, some of the boats that had drifted from the ship during the night having been ulti mately picked up. Every effort was made W save property and mails, but, unfortunately, one of the schooners which had been engaged for this purpose, and on board &I which the purser had gone in charge, parted from her anchors and was driven on shore. The luggage had to In thrown overboard, amongst which was the log of the Nort t Briton. On the 11th, the. Anglo-Saxon, which had be, i intercepted, arrived, and took off the passengers and part of the crew, and brought them home, with such of the luggage and mails as were finally secured. After a most careful review of the evidence given in this case, and after an anxious consultation with my nautical colleague upon the courses alleged to have been steered, I fled great diffi culty in arriving at a satisfactory conclusion as to the cause of the loss of this ship. Great vigilance and caution seem to have been displayed by the master in the navigation his ship up to midnight of the 4th. I cannot, however, but regard it as unfortunate that the master, who had, on going below at that hour, left orders that the second ma'e, who was then in charge, should stop the vessel to take soundings at one a.m. on the sth, should have seen fit, on examining his charts, to countermand an order so properiy given in accordance with his wonted caution. It is just possible that a cast of the lead then taken might have warned him of his danger, but looking at the irregular soundings that prevail throughout the Canadian Channel, even that precaution might have shown a result calculated to mislead him. This is the solo omission that I can lay to the charge of the master, and I am reluctantly compelled to say that, so far as this single omission goes, be must be pro nounced in default. At the s tine time I feel bound to add that, on a review of his previous vigilance, I arrive unwila lingly at this conclusion. It is necessary here to refer to two circum stanceswhich lead me to express myself thus guardedly in regard to the conduct of the master. It would appear from the evidence of Captain Aiton, maser of the steam ship Jura, which met the North Briton to the eastward of Cape de Montis on the 3d of November, that an 17 ausually high tide prevailed in the St. Lawrence and over the whole seaboard of North America on that day. How far this may have influenced the current in the Canadian Channel, so as to have deceived a skil:al and practised navigator in his reckoning, it is impossible to say, but that so some extent it must have affected the navigation of the ship, there would appear to be :little doubt. The other circumstance to which I would allude is the repot I which reached Quebec before the sailing of the North Bri ton, that the North American, one of the same line of steamships, was supposed to be on shore on Natasheinan Point, and Captain Grange was desired to ascertain the truth of the rumour, and to render assistance if necessary. For this purpose he must, of course, have taken the pas sage which he did—by the Canadian ;Channel ; and thus instructed by his company's agents at Quebec, he consi dered himself almost without discretion in the choice of this passage, rather than the longer one by Cape Race. In arriving, therefore, at a conclusion, these two circum stances must be fairly taken into consideration along with, the other facts of the case, and may induce your lordships to return to Captain Grange his certificate, with a caution, which, in opinion, will meet the merits of the case. The result of this inquiry following so closely upon the heels of that which took place into the loss of the Canadian, seems certainly to stamp the passage by the Canadian Channel and the Straits of Belleisle as one fraught with danger and difficulty, except during the height of the season and in the clearest weather. It may well become a question for serious consideration, whether the saving of a single day ie. the length of the passage compensates f or the r isk to life and property which it seems to entail.-1 have, &c., T.

CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST A SCHOOLMASTER. —At the Leeds Town-hall, on Tuesday, before J. Wilson, Esq., and C. J. Maclea, Esq., Mr. R. H. V. Sebright, mas ter of the St. Marie's Roman Catholic day school, Rich mond-hill, was charged with assaulting Wm. Dyson, pupil teacher, on the morning of Friday last. The boy stated that Mr. Sebright had beaten him very severely on the head, so that he was obliged to stay at home the whole of the afternoon. The boy's mother also deposed that her son's face was very much swollen, and that "it was the colour of the fire, it was so red." Mr. Sebright, in answer to the charge, said the boy's statement was s ubstantially cor rect, but he submitted in extenuation that he had boxed the lad's ears under great provocation. He had been a schoolmaster eighteen years, and it was the first time he had struck a pupil teacher. For the last 18 months this lad had been a great to him ; he had hitherto acted kindly towards him, and had remonstrated with him upon his conduct at the request of his parents. At the time when the offence complained of took place, Dyson was superintending a writing class ; he asked him to move about, instead of standing in one place, which ho refused to do and being aanoyed at this and other instances of bad con duct, ho had, he acknowledged, boxed the prosecutor's ears with the palm of his hand. The lad's statement with re ference to standing still was that he had stood in the class for the purpose of pulling out a pen which had become fast in the holder. The magistrates said they were of opinion the evidence proved that the defendant had exercised undue severity, and that it was a very dangerous practice to strike boys on the head. They should fine him 205., including cats, yr ogyenclaye Unprioollllaoll4 MAILS DUE. Australia and Mauritius, via Southampton. Dec. 19. via Marseilles ... Dec. 13.
