SOLDIERS CHARGED WITH ROBBING A SAILOR.—Two Privates of the 2d battalion of Scots FUsilier Guards, named Janes Holder and Thomas Reynolds, were charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with stealing two sovereigns from Frederick Lampert, a seaman, gunner on board her Majesty's ship Warrior, but at present on sick leave. The, prosecutor said—Last night I went into the Crystal Palace public-house, Castle-street, St. Martin's, to have a glass with a friend. Some soldiers came in. My friend was looking at a piece of tobacco I had given him, and one of the prisoners said, " I should like a piece of that tobacco." I handed him my pouch, at the bottom of which there were two sovereigns, and he handed the pouch to the other pri soner, and after they had both filled their. pipes, Reynolds handed me the pouch back, when I missed my two sove reigns, which I am certain were in it when I handed it to Holder, as lam very careful of my money. I asked them for the money, and they said they had not got it, and I went for a constable and gave them in charge. They were not searched at the public-house, but were at the station, but the money was not found upon them. II Aden—The sailor gave me the pouch, and after I had filled my pipe I handed it to my comrade and ho handed it back to the sailor. Mr Tyrwhitt—How long did the handing the pouch backwards and forwards take ? Prosecutor : About three minutes. A constable proved taking the prisoners to the station and searching them, but said no money mos found upon them. Thomas Hussy, formerly a sailor, but now employed as a porter at Messrs Cramer and Beale's, Regent-street, said —1 was looking at a piece of tabacco given to me by my friend the prosecutor, when the soldiers said they should like some of the tobacco, and the prosecutor handed the pouch to the soldiers, and when it was returned prosecutor said he missed two sovereigns. Mr Tyrwhitt—llow many soldiers were present? Witness—l think four besides the prisoners. Mr Tyrwhitt said he would remand the prisoners, and ftke their own recognisances to appear. London and Provincial Turkish Bath Com pany (Limited). The following is the report of the directors pre. sented to the shareholders at their last half-yearly meeting : The directors have to report the continued prosperity of the company. The past six months include the slack period of the year, and during the months of August, September, and October, London has been unusually empty in conse quence of the prolonged fine season. The bath receipts, however, are £I7 in excess of the corresponding period last year. The debt of the company has been entirely liquidated, and there are now no outstanding liabilities whatsover. Several alterations and additions have been effected, of which explanation is given in an appended letter of the managing director. The directors propose a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, amounting to £SS6 Sa. 81. It is proposal than the privilege of free admission to the bath conceded to holders of 40 shares and upwards, subject to revocation a: a general meeting, be cot fined to actual holders of 40 shares, and that hereafter it shall be only granted to holders of 100 shares and upwards, subject to revocation at a general meeting. Is being the turn of Mr Percy Smith and of Mr Rolland to retire from the direc tion, they beg t) offer themselves for re• election. It is proposed that Charles Bryce, E-q., M,D , and H. T. Wrenfordsley, EL q., barrister, be added to the list of directors. It is proposed that Mr Glover be re-elected auditor for the ensuing year. It is most desirable that an alteration in the nominal capital of the company be effected, so as to render its shares quotable in the Stock Market, For this purpose, a special meeting is requisite, of which due notice will be given.

Sir,—The vatious works which have been undettaken during the last six months having been submitted before hand to the Board for approval, the estimate having been in like manner submitted and approved of in both cases with entire unanimity, it is not necessary for me to enter into any general statement upon the subject. which statement, to be complete, would be of very fatiguing extent. Still I am desirous of offering an outline, with the view of discriminating between charges imposed by faulty con struction, those necessitated by the insufficiency of the building for the purposes in view from want of funds at the time of erection, and those the amount of which might be greater or loss according to the estimate which each per son might form of the style in which the work had to be executed This expenditure had to be incurred. and was delayed only until funds came in. It bears upon eight objects, which I shall treat separately. Ist. Reparation of the Roof.—The means of communi cation were defective mad moat dangerous. Two serious accidents had already occurred ; one man had just missed being precipitated through the sky-light, on which he had fallen, into the washing-room below ; another just escaped a similar fate by the breaking off of one of the iron etaun chions, The expense under this head was a matter of absolute nece sity. 2d, Alteration of the Gas-fittings.—The lighting of the bath from within, instead of from the domes, was grounded in the first instance on the economy resulting therefrom, and secondly and principally from the peril involved in the repeated ascents to the roof and crossings over it. This expense carries with it a saving of some £2O a year. 3d. Upholstery.—The heat of the hottest chambers rendering contact with the substance of the building im possible, coverings and comfortable couches had to be sup plied. Up to this time, from a deficiency of funds, they had not been supplied ; and the stock in this respect is a necessary part of the building. In the original estimate £5OO had been allotted to this object, but the money had not been forthcoming. 4th. New Floorings, and Reparation of the two Hot Rooms.—ln the right hand hot room two accidents had already, occurred from the breaking of the marble, fortu • nately without loss to life or limb. These accidents were owing to faults of structure, committed in defiance of every endeavour on my part, and in contradiction to the plan which I had adopted for my bath at Riverside, the accepted model for that of Jermyn-street. The supports were at three times the distance at which they were placed at Riverside; marble having also been used in spite of my remonstranw.s, in places too hot for marble to be touched, where it was consequently useless as marble, and further subject to be calcined in course of time. Moreover, the flues, on being opened, were found half choked up with dry dust. The changes therefore involved in equalising the level, in substituting slate for marble, and in raising the flues, cannot be considered as optional, but necessary. Against the expenditure so incurred, has to be placed marble to the value of £l5O, which has been withdrawn from these rooms, and remains available for the new hall to the southward, when undertaken. s:h. The Covering in of the Left...hand Court.--The want of money at the time of erection forced the completion of the building without there being the middle apartment (Svouk Havll4) of the Turkish Bath, as also without the apartment required for the shampooers, and the general service of the Lath.._. 'Mai. ha. kitia...ia-oistall...l iswooss-rs,nirmoo• To which has to be added that the service of washing the linen is hero performed in the bath, instead of being sent out, as in Turkey. The covering in of the court extends the accommodation in these respects, and is a step towards )btaining the ventilation by suction from below. Without this chango also the sweating-room could not have been erected, as the only place formerly available for the washing of the linen is now cccupied by the sweating-room. The saving by washing the linen in the bath amounts to about £3OO a-year. 6th. The new Sweating-room.—To obtain this, I may say, necessary appendage was a matter at once of the deepest concern, and of the greatest difficulty. It involved digging out space below, underpinning of the tank, and a new sinking of the drains. My forced absence from England has postponed the realisation of this object. lam ready to return in reference to it, should my last letters of in struction fail to obtain the end. The failure up to the present moment is consequent on disregard of the instruc tions I gave on leaving England as to the floor above, and also as to the stove. In both respects the evil might have been repaired in a day. It is disheartening that the loss of this important experience should be thus needlessly prolonged. My only consolation is that trouble and vexa tion must be entailed in the introduction of new methods. I subjoin an extract from a letter which I have received from Dr Sheppard, manager of the lunatic asylum at Col ney Hatch, who was present at the first opening of the . sweating .room. 7th. The Changes in the Office. Bth. The Coffee Room.—This is the only point on which I conceive that any question can arise,namely, whether £256 15s was too large a sum to devote to decorating and en• larging it; out of which sum £76 15s has been expended in mirrors, which are objects of permanent value. The coffee room in its former state was disreputable. The Board en tirely concurred with me as to the judiciousness of the ex penditure to obtain as handsome a room as possible, both as regards the service of the bath and the attraction of the hotel. There remains a prospective change—the water closets. This is one of the defects of original construction against which I have striven in vain. In the Turkish bath these are placed at a lower level than the washing rooms, and, consequently, the dirty water flows through them and cleanses them. This plan is indicated besides by the very nature of things, and requires no model to guide us. This was the plan of Riverside, and in every bath which I have built where there was no artist to interfere. This was alto the plan as originally settled for Jermyn-street. They were to be in the court on the left-hand side, at a lower level, so that the whole of the water from that court (which was to have been a washing room) would have flowed through them. Subsequently the plans were altered, without my cognisance, as to the two washing rooms, which the architect insisted upon leaving as open courts. On finding the work considerably advanced in this form (having been for seve ral days prevented by illness from visiting Jermyn-street), which, if so completed, would have entirely ruined the objects of the building, I insisted on having the one court restored as a washing r00m.., but only on the condi tion of surrendering the other court to the views of the architect. In attempting a modification of his plan for the water closets, so as to lower their level, I was met by such a determined resistance on his part, that it be came a question of yielding to him, or losing hia services. I preferred the former course, as at the moment the,resig nation of the architect would have been fatal to the com pany, and also. as the services of the architect in all re spects not involving that special knowledge which he did not, and could not possess, wore invaluable. I abstained at the time from any communication of my troubles and anxieties to the board; but you, sir, were placed in full possession of them. In reference to the water closets, the refusal of the architect to admit of my modifica tion was summed up in the woods—" My professional re putation is at stake; of a bad smell every one, however, ignorant, can judge, and if there is a bad smell it will be laid, not on your shoulders, but on mine." By the time you receive this letter the evil may have been remedied by the instructions I have sent ; if not, it will suffice to carry out the plan already settled before my departure from England. When the company was formed, and I undertook the building and management, it was on the express condition that I should have the entire disposal of matters, not financial. I stand, therefore, as responsible in all respects. But, in truth, I have not had my hands free. The implied condition on which ray services were rendered, was, of course, that there should be a building containing all the parts requisite to constitute a Hammam. For this pur pose the originally subscribed sum was insufficient to the amount of £5,000 or £6,000. Thence has been further en tailed extra expenditure and debt. The company has now indeed redeemed itself from debt; it has lived through the great inconveniences and increased charges. The principal errors of construction from the above causes have been repaired, and if from these combined causes the taste for and practice of the bath has been delayed in their expansion, still, after two years a steady increase of returns has been established, showing that the new habit has taken root; the spurious imitations are passing out of existence. If no other benefit had been the result, the shareholders may congratulate themselves on having been the means of introducing into the great establishments of the realm, for the cure and alleviation of bodily infirmities and mental aberration, the most powerful of the agencies of nature {for the solace of afflicted man.—Your obedient servant, S. S. Roland, Esq., Chairman. D. IJRQUIIART. DR SHEDPA7ID TO AIR URQUHART. Colney Hatch, Oct. 13, 1864. We have made the great experiment of the Hammam. Mr Johnson was good enough to invite Mr Wood (our engineer) and myself to try the perils or delights (as the case might be) of your mom heated purely by radiation. It was a great success. The room was at a temperature of 205 deg when we entered, and felt much less oppressive than the hot room (of transmission) upstairs, at a temperature of 170 deg. This is a very striking circumstance, and was equally noted by Dr Gooldea (who fortunately happened to be present) and Mr Wood.- SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE —This day. (BY MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.)

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mine pm., an d the short exchange on London is 26.221 per .£1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-I(th per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advicca from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 storlin_ Standard gold at the English Mint price is, theref c re, about 7-I , _ the per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London tor bills at 60 days' sight is ab_ut 20 per cent., and the premium on gold is 141 per cent. At these rates there is a small profit on the importation of go d fr,ni the United States. THE GAY NATlON.—According to several French papers a new club, to be called the "Silent Club," is abut to be established in Paris. The members may eat, drink, read, write, or smoke, but they must not speak, nor wear creaking boots, nor play at dominoes, nor "rattle the bones," nor, in short. make any no'so whatever. The floors will be covered with thick carpets, and the doors will open and shut without noise. THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A NEW CASTLE TRADESMEN.—The mystery which surrounded this affair has been very fortunately cleared up by the return of Mr Elliott to his wife and family on Sunday. It appears that Mr Elliott on Tuesday evening was called away sud denly to the south of England, and his message intim ting this miscarried; hence the employment of the police and the alarm which was caused in the public mind by his ab seuee. GIFTS FROM HER MAJESTY.—Canadian papers acknowledge recent gifts from her Majesty of " The Prin cipal Speeches and Addresses of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, presented to the Library of the University of Victoria College, Coburg, and to two other Canadian libraries. The volumes were forwarded by Mr Cardwell, and contain the follow'ng inscription :—" Presented in memory of her great and good Husband by his broken hearted Widow, Victoria R. 1864." RIFLE CONTEST ; —A friendly match took place on Friday, at,Stanmore, between 20 of the Victoria Rifles and 20 of the 2d battalion of the Queen's Westmin stars. The ranges were 200, 600, and 600 yards, 6 shots at each range, Wimbledon 1864 targets and marking. The match resulted in favour of the Viotorias, by 46 marks, they having scored 686 marks, against 643 made by the Queen's representatives —one of the conditions of the match being that the losing side should provide three tankards, to be given to the three highest scores of the winners. They were won by Ensign Paley, 47 marks—Sergeant Holland. 43 marks—and Private J. H. Doe, 42 marks. The highest scores on the side of the Queen's were made by Corporal Leete, 43 marks—and Sergeant Baines, 41 marks. Captain Hawkins, of the St. George's, kindly acted as umpire on the occasion. THE BRITISH AMERICAN CONFEDERATION.—The Toronto Globe, which is an authority on the subject, says of the long sketch of the Confederation plan lately republished in this country from the Quebec Journal as an official report of the matter :—" Whatever correctness the sketch may claim, it does not ewe it to official inspiration, nor does it supply the scheme of the conference." THE KING OF PRUSSIA,-0.1 Friday last the Kit= ci Prussia visited Minden, accompanied by several Prussian princes, and inspected the 13th Division of his troops on their return from the Duchies. After the inspec tion there was a lunch, to which all the staff officers of the division, others who had distinguished themselves, and the chief civil authorities were invited. His Majesty proposed the first toast—" To the brave Prussian army, and parti cularly the 13th Division ;" and immediately afterwards Prince Frederick Charles proposed a cheer for the King, and concluded his Fpecch as follows :—" For snob a King one fights cheerfully—for such a King one bleeds cheer. fully—and for such a King, if necessary, one also dies cheerfully." Loss OF THREE VESSELS.—Three vessels were lost off the Suffolk coast on Monday. The brigs Marianna Bond and Curlew, Webster, both of mad from Shields, for London, with coal, in bearing up struck upon the south part of the Newcombe Sand, and shortly after sunk; crew saved by a Lowestoft harbour tug, and landed at that port. The brig Devonport, Bell, of and from Shields, for London, with coal, in bearing up struck in Pakefield Gat and sunk; crew saved by the Kessingland lifeboat and landed at Lowestoft. SPARROWS IN AII STRALIA.---The gold and silver fish at the Botanical Gardens may now be counted by dozens. The keeper of the aviary informs us that he has set at liberty several of the Java sparrows, and all but a pair of the English sparrows. It was found that, so long as these latter pugnacious little creatures were permitted to be within the aviary, they assaulted every other bird in the place, and prevented any but themselves building nests. Since their liberation several have built nests in the spouts of the Bank of Australasia, but others have returned to the garden, and in some mysterious way contrived to wriggle themselves fut.() the aviary again. The keeper says that where a mouse can gain admission an English span - ow will. It is presumed they have returned for the sake of the good feeding they experienced at the outset of their acclimatisa tional existence. The pheasants look healthy and plume, as do the quail ; but neither will permanently thrive. build, or breed so long as they are kept along with so many other smaller birds, and in such otherwise very usuitable quar ters.--Ballarat k tan The project al the construction of a railway from Orleans to Rouen is now occupying the attention of the principal manufacturers of Elbeuf and Louviers, who are anxious to have the line pass through or near those towns. The Chamber of Commeree of the former place has held a meeting on the subject, in which the advantages which would be derived from the line were forcibly pointed out. THE FRAUDULENT BANKRUPTCY CASE AT BIB• MINGHAM.—APPREHENSION OF THE ABSCONDED. —The police, who have for some we , .ks been on the alert for the purpose of apprehending Morris Levi, who is charged under the Bankruptcy Act with removing goods fur the purpose of defrauding his creditors, have now been successful, and have apprehended the principal and two accomplices, the whole of whom are now in cus tody. Morris Levi was apprehended at a late hour on Saturday night by Inspector Manton at Droitwich. As the whole of the charges against the three prisoner's relate to the same transaction, it was deemed expedient that they should all be tried at the same time.—Birmingham Gazette, JUST OUT OF HOSPITAL.—The poor man, al. though by nature garrulous, seems to be aware that on that long line of beds in the same ward there are others whose cases are at least as serious as his own, and which require to be stated at some length ; and ho often makes some attempt to condenao what he has to say, although that is a feat by no means easy to him. He is a patient, too, in the best sense ; submitting to all that is proposed. because he is codvinced that the very best is being done for him to the extent of our ability, as God forbid it should not be done.

Si. The directors recomi. mended that out of this balance a dividend at the rate of 81 per cent, per annum, less income-tax, be declared on the capital, that one half of the surplus profits over 6 per cent, per annum, and the usual charge for interest, amounting together to £3,964 25., be carried to the reserve fund ; and that £250 be applied to the redemption of preliminary ex pauses. HER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 29. Her Mbjesty the Queen, accompanied by her Royal Highness Princess Helena, went to Ham yesterday afternoon, and visited their Royal High.. nesses the Duke and Duchcss do Chartres. The Royal patty travelled by special train on the South Western Railway to the Kingston Station, and thence in carriages to Ham, and returned to Wind sor Castle shortly before six o'clock. The Maharaja:l Duleep Singh and the Maharanee visited her Majesty to-day. The Duke and Duchess of Grafton are entertain ing a limited circle of visitors at Euston Hall, Thetford. The Earl of Thlkeith has arrived at Bowhill, Selkirkehire, from town. The Countess Ferrers and Captain Walsh have arrived at Brown's Hotel. Miss Bateman's Leah. (From the North British Mail of Nov. 28 ) Coleridge, writing with a reference to the elder Kean, says that so overpowering was his super. eminently earnest acting as to be almost painful, and to give one the impression of reading Shake pere by flashes of lightning. This characteristic criticism is recalled by the appearance of Miss Bate man upon the stage of the Theatre Royal yesterday evening. It is long since we have witnessed a per formanc© of equal passion, power, and beauty; and we are afraid that we shall have to wait a long while again for such another noble and affecting dramatic exhibition. From first to last it had evi. dently been long considered, and last night it was most successfully given, in the truest spirit of lofty tragedy. Miss Bstenan's figure is fine; her attitudes are often exquisitely statuesque; her countenance has a mobility and play that are altogether extraordi nary ; and her eye is the very finest we can remem ber—large, lustrous, beaming, now full of what Mrs Browning (speaking of Barns) calls " pungent pas. sionings," anon lorn, fixed, seeming to look far away beyond things near her on to those that are invisible. Before she utters one word she capti vates her auditors, and the character of her utterances enhances the spell. Her voice is good— even, never strong, yet not the least monotonous, carrying a slightly foreign accent that accords well with her part, and used for a grave measured elocu tion that is also admirably in keeping with it, as be tokening the restraint and self-watchfulness proper to her situation. And all these advantages are turned to happy account. They are completely under the control of a disciplined intelligence. She seems endowed indeed with an exquisite and apparently intuitive knowledge of the human heart as it acts and is. acted upon. She has a subtle and penetrating insight into the springs and modes of human thought under the dominion of past, present, and future. And she has a vivid and realising imagination by which she can abso• lutely identify herself with the character she de. pies—seeing with her eyes, hearing with her ears, speaking with her tongue, and seeming to think, feel, and understand as she would. Her acting is like the human body which may be specially alive in the eye or the heart, or the brain, but yet is pene trated with vitality. Last night every part of her frame was made to move in unison with the working of the soul. Every nerve and muscle was played upon by the cunning hand of Fantasy, drawing forth eloquent music—the still, sad music of humanity. Hence, the performance was not a thing of pcints and hits, but a triumph of acting through out. Other incidents, we think, were even better than the terrible curse with which she electrified full twc-thirds of her audience, speaking its concen trated malignity with a deliberation and emphasis that made the blood run cold, and supplying a good illustration of the lines— , _ Earth has-:u+ viza likes lava in.hAauzl turnrusl, And hell no fury like a woman scorned." General Zamoyski. The following letters appeared in the _Kentish Gazette of Nov. 10: TO THE EDITOR OF TEE KENTISH GAZETTE. Sir,—l take advantage of your kind permission to make public the letter of Gen. Zamoyski through your columns. Your readers will desire to know something of the writer. He is a distinguished soldier, and commanded the Polish contingent in the Crimean war by the consent of our Go vernment. Unfortunately for Poland that war was brought to a close before he had an opportunity of engaging the Russians. He is of one of the first families of Poland, and, what will make him better known to Englishmen, ho is an intimate friend of the Earl of Harrowby. No person can read the letter without profi', because the ardent patriotism and high religious feeling which it breathes cannot be lost to the thoughtful reader. To use the simile of Pope in his Prologue to Addison's Play of " Cato"— " When Cato gives his little senate laws, What bosom beats not in his country's cause ?" I have the honour to be, sir, yours very faithfully, GEORGE DERING• Barham Court, Canterbury, Nov. 7. Paris, Quai d'Orleans, 6. Nov. 3. Dear Mr. Dering,—l beg to offer my best thanks for your perseverance in advocating the cause of justice and right as regards my country, I have read with great inte rest and not without emotion your remarks in the Kentish Gaulle, though I could not help wondering that you should pay to the writers of the Times the compliment of treating their assertions in earnest, since they have long made it their invariable rule not to promote either principles or fixed opinions, but simply to make themselves the time server of whoever appears likely to be a gainer in his daily pursuits. A good and thinking man might however offer his warn ing to those who read it and shelter their own indifference to matters of great consequence under its pretended autho rity. I wish the latter could all have heard the words which, in the course of this year in England, a person in a high situation addressed to me. After alluding to Eng land's neglect of duty with regard to Poland and Denmark she added—" I cannot doubt but we must be severely punished for it." And when I replied that, while sharing in the conviction I was far from wishing its realisation, her answer was—" Well for you not to wish it; but I should not be true to my love of justice did I not actually wish for a visitation of Providence upon such conduct as ours has been and seems likely further to be," Such words might perhaps not be lost with the great bulk of the British people. I, for one, can never reconcile my self to the admission that they can remain incurably deaf to such warning, and not—before it is too late—be roused to indignation by the selfish and improvident policy of their stewards in the management of their national honour and well-understood interests. But after saying so much, I must hasten to add that, if a great nation is bound to weigh in the destinies of the world on the side of justice and right, it is not necessarily by war, and certainly not by war only, that such a nation can satisfy her duty to herself and to Providence, Long before any question of war is implied, in foot leaving war entirely out of the question, the all-important step for a Government to perform is, after mature examination, to proclaim what in its opinion is the right and the wrong of the case, and then to leave no doubt that it cannot otherwise than side with the right while throwing unconditional blame on the wrong. By doing so much, duty is redeemed ; the rest may safely be left to Him who taught us that Heaven shall be given to those who remain faithful in suffering for the sake of justice. Excuse, dear sir, these remarks, partly elicited by your Etonian friend's letter, which 1 return, 111 y best compliments to Mrs Dering.— Yours truly, L. ZAUOYSKI. ROYAL DRAMATIC COLLEGE.—A full dress ball, in aid of the funds of this institution and the sup• port of the pensioners now resident in the college, will take place at St. James's Hall next Wednesday, under the superintendence of several persons of rank and dis tinction in the arts and the drama. There needs no urgency of ours to call attention to this admirable and thriving institution, which in so comparatively short a time has reared homes for several members of the theatrical pro fession, and which is carried on with such unceasing energy by its groat promoter and director, Mr Ben. Webster, and his able and indefatigable assistant, Mr Anson. To those who may not be induced to attend the ball from purely philanthropic motives, we may tell them there will be a champagne supper and a capital band. THE CHARGE AGAINST FOUR MILITARY OM CERS.-DuBLIN, Tuesday night.—This morning the four officers of the 78th Highlanders who took part in the dis turbance at the Exhibition last night were brought up at the police.oourt.

COUNTY COURT OFFICER.— Dennis Macarthy, an Irish milkman, o f Christian-street, St. George-in-the-East, was b roug ht before Mr Paget charged with committing a violent assault on Mr James Wallace, an officer of the Whitechapel County Court. It appeared from the evidence of Mr Wallace that he had a warrant to arrest the prisoner for a debt and costs amount ing to 13s. 3d. A few days since he notified to the prisoner that he had a warrant against him, and that he had better pay the money. The prisoner used a good deal of bad lan guage and said he never would pay the money, and that not all the county court judges, magistrates, and (lacers in Eng • land would make him pay it. Yesterday afternoon Mr Wallace met the prisoner again, asked him for 12s 3d, and on hie refusal to pay it arrested him, and said he must go with him to Whitecross.street prison. The prisoner said he would not go, and struck the officer on the breast and threw him. The prisoner said that half a dozen officers should not take him. "tr — 0 pulled the officer about, swore at him, and caused a mob to assemble in the very worst and dissolute place in the metropolis—Rosemary-lane, alias Royal Mint-street. A police-constable named Thos. Cross, 50 H, was called to the assistance of Mr Wallace. The prisoner said he would not be taken, s t ruc k M r W a ll ace a gain, and made us e o f very bad c o llared by Cross, and, a f ter a severe aL d desperate scuffle, was lodged in the stati on -h ouse: language.

Mr Paget said the case had been heard and decided by a court of competent authority, and the prisoner was ad judged to pay a certain sum. Everything had been done in a proper manner. and the complainant, who was an officer of the law, must be protected in the discharge of his duty. The prisoner had been treated with indulgence, and time given him to pay the money. Ho sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment, and when that sentence was expired he would have to pay the money or go to prison again. AIARKE TS ---This Day. MARK-LANE.
