TIIE QUEEN.—The special object which her Majesty had in visiting the Windsor Infirmary the other day was to attend the death-bed of a very old and valued servant, who had been for some time an inmate of the establishment. This act of gracious kindness brought with it great consolation to the aged sufferer.

BOW STREET. CHARGE OF ROBBERY AGAINST AN ACCOUNTANT.- A. gentlemanly-dressed man, named Saunders, of Wood Green, Middlesex, accountant, W•qi placed at the bar before Mr. C,rrie, charged with stealing a cheque for £2OO, the property of his emp!oyers, the Real and Personal Loan and Discount Company, Tavistock-street, Covent-garden. Mr. Digby, solicitor to the company, appeared for the prosecution. It appeared that the prisoner absconded about the middle of last month, when considerable defalcations were discovered. A warrant for prisoner's apprehen sion was at once applied for and granted, and until last evening he managed to elude the constable who held the warrant when he was captured at the corner of Store and Guwer-street, where the prisoner, though a married man, was keeping an appointment with a female He first denied his name was Sanders, but Shore, the con stable, however, told him he was sure he was the person, as he was acquainted with him while he was engaged at the office, upon which he admitted he was the man. Shore then told him he held a warrant for his apprehension on a charge of stealing a cheque for £2OO. Prisoner replied, " I know you have. I knew it days ego." He then took him to the station•house, and information was given to the society of the capture of the prisoner. Mr. Digby said at present he had only to apply for a remand, as there were a number of other cases against the prisoner which would bring up the amount of his defalca tions to over £l,OOO, Mr. Corrie at once remanded the prisoner for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. USING A KNUCKLE-DUSTER.—ROBBERT WITH VIO LENCE.—Joseph Williams was charged before Mr. Knox with being concerned with others not in custody in violently assaulting and robbing Mr. Vincent Malandi, hotel-keeper, of 29, Church-street, Soho, of his watch in Dean-street, Soho. The prosecutor, Mr. Melandi, an Italian, in answer to questions put to him by Mr. Knox, said that about a guar • ter to one that morning he was standing at th e corner of Dan .street, Soho, with some friends, when the prisoner and some of his companions came up and insulted them, and then surrounded him. He was then pulled to the ground, and while down, struck in the eye by one of the men who had an instrument in his hand (a knuckle-duster). His watch was then taken from him by force, the chain be ing broken in two, one part of it being taken with the watch and the other part left behind. On a constable appearing, the prisoner's companions made off, but the pri soner was secured by the constable and one of his (prose cutor's) friends, Mr. linos asked if the knuckle-duster had been found, and was informed that it had been. A friend of Mr. Melandi's spoke to the violent attack made on Mr. Melandi, and said that he was also knocked down violently. A constable said that, seeing the prisoner running, and hearing a cry of " Stop thief," he s topped him, the last witness following him at the time. The prisoner gave a false address. Remanded, WESTMINSTER. DANGEROUS PRACTICE. —A little fellow, named John Newman, about 11 years of age, was charged with throw ing stones in a public thoroughfare, to the danger of the passers by. Patrick Denny, 189 B, said that at a quarter past 6 last evening, he was on duty in 'Warwick-square, and saw the prisoner and a number of other boys throwing stones at some well-dressed children who were passing by. He watched them doing this for some time, and then took pri soner in•o custody, the other boys escaping. Mr. Ingham inquired if he threw the stones to the danger of the passers by. The constable replied in the affirmative. The defendant and his companions were throwing the stones about utterly regardless of where they went to, and were chasing the other children through the square. Th►re had been great complaints of late about the nuisance. The boy's mother said, as all mothers do, that her son was a very good boy, and had not been out five minutes, having only left St. Gabriel's Church, where he was in the habit of attending the singing class. Mr. Ingham said this was a most dangerous practice to indulge in, but as the boy was so young he should only fine him ls. this time, but would punish him severely if he came there again. We understand this most dangerous practice is very common in the above neighbourhood, and that one gentle man has paid no less than 40s. for windows broken by boys. THAMES. THE YANKEE AND HIS SWEETHEART.—Anna Maria Westbrook, a woman of the town, and Thomas Jones, alias George F. Morton, third mate of the sloop American Eagle, lying in the London Docks, were brought before Mr, Par tridge, chdrged wi h forging and uttering an advance-note for the payment of 14, and purporting to be signed by M r Alex. Massey, an American shipping agent in Upper East Smithfield. Inspector Allison, of the K division, said that a great many advance notes, which were quite worthless, had been recently uttered, and the printed forms could be purchased at any stationer's shop in the East. A man was brought into the King David-lane Station last night for obtaining £3 on a forged advance note. He gave up the money, and was set at liberty. The prisoner Westbrook came to the shop of Mr. Wm. Stout, an outfitter, in the West In- , ia-road, yesterday (Friday) afternoon, and presented an advance note, signed "A. Massy," for the payment of £4, a month's wages, three days after the sailing of the ship American Eagle, from the London Dock. The woman said that she did not want any goods, but wanted the whole amount in money. Mr. Stout at once knew the note was a for gery, and told her so. He also said that the firm was not Massy's, and that he used a very different one. The note was endorsed George Fullerton, and the woman said Mr. Morton was her husband, and that he was to sail next day. Mr. Stout's father then remarked, "You have no rings on your finger," and gave her into custody, and she said the note was given to her by Mr. Morton, her hus band, who was second mate of the American Eagle. The prisoner Jones, who is the second mate of the American Eagle, and had assumed the name of Morton, was arrested in tha London Dock last night. He was asked by Thim blpby, a police. constable, 119 K, if he knew a young girl named Morton, to which he replied "No, but a girl to wht m " I gave that name has been living with me a month." He also said it is not her fault, it is all my mutt. I g.ve it to the girl and lam willing to suffer the law for it. The male prisoner was no sooner in custody at the Poplar station-house than the woman, who was already locked up in a cell, recognised his voice, and said Is that you Frank," and he called out " All right." Mr. Partridge remanded the prisoner until Saturday next. SYMPATHY WITH POLAND. Last night a public Inciting was held of the in habitants of the parishes of St. Andrew, Holborn, and of St. George -the-Martyr, Middlesex, and the following resolutions were agreed to : " That the Poles, after having long exhibited, under cir cumstances of the most cruel provocation, a calm and dig nified demeanour in the firm but peace3ble vindication of their rights, whion entitled them to the respect and admi ration of all civilised nations, have been forced into their present insurrection by acts of continued and intolerable oppression and insult on the part of Russia, and by the ab solute necessity of taking up arms in self-defence, in order to preserve their national existence." " That for the last century it has been the constant aim of the Russian Government to denationalise the people of Poland and to efface the remembrance of her former great ness and freedom, and this nefarious policy has been pur sued by means of constant confiscations, exiles, and mas sacrE s, wholly without a parallel in the history of any other ccuntry ; and the anarchy which [his system has naturally produced in Poland is dangerous as wtll as disgraceful to th. civilized States of Europe and an insult to the majesty of international law, en a gross violation of which the dominion of Russia in Poland was founded." " That in the interests of humanity it is the duty as well as the right of the European Powers, by their united re monstrances with the Government of Russia, or, if need be, by their joint intervention, to put an end at once to a state of things so dangerous and disgraceful ; and although this meeting is convinced that if a firm resolve were expressed by France and England to place Poland in a position of independence, the enfeebled Government of Russia would yield to their wishes without a strut gle, it is still more convinced that if, contrary to its expectation, this more peaceful policy should fail, and hostile measures should become necessary, the sacrifices which such measures might entail would be borne with cheerfulness by the whole of the English people." It was also agreed that petit:ons founded on the resolu ions should be presented to her Majesty, and also to both louses of Parliament, The Price of Gold.

(From the Morning Herald.) The attitude of bweden on the Polish ques tion naturally excites considerable interest. Ii Russia is to be coerced by a European war into the surrender of Poland, Sweden would be an invaluable ally to the executioners. Efficiently supported, she could strike Russia in some of her weakest points, or could alone occupy the attention of a large portion of the Russian army and navy, and thus render the work of the French army,which the Morning Post has arranged to land at Riga, much easier. And there can be no doubt that the will of the Swedish nation is good enough towards such a role. A war with Russia, in which France stood on their Ride and pledged herself to their defence, while Poland was weakening and harassing the empire, would gratify an old hatred of the Swedes, and perhaps enable them to take satisfac tion for an old injury. The robbery of Finland is not forgotten nor forgiven in Sweden, and a war which promised to restore that province to Swedish rule would be very popular throughout the domi nions of Charles XV. The Crimean war shook the prestige of Russia; the great social changes through which she is passing seem to have shake❑ the frame work, and, for the time at least, destroyed the power of the empire; and Sweden would therefore rush with eagerness to a combat from which she shrunk nine years ago. Even then, had the war but lasted a few months longer, Sweden would pro bably have been a partner in it. The treaty by which England and France guaranteed the King of Sweden his territories was evidently designed to be the forerunner of a defensive and offensive alliance. We do not need the glowing accounts of the enthu siasm which has been shown at Stockholm for Prince Czartoryski, or at Malmoe for the crew of the Ward Jackson. to teach us that the Swedes heartily sympathise with the Polish insurrection. The Russian is their common enemy ; but no exhi- bition of their sympathy will seriously menace the relations between the two countries. The Swedes and their King may burn with eagerness for war with Russia, but they will take very good care not to move a step in that direction until they are thoroughly assured of the support of France. The Swedish Government knows its own weakness, and dreads being used as a catapaw. It cannot sup press demonstrations of sympathy with Poland, and will not do so, because the Russian Government is not in a position to make such demonstrations a casus would. have to fight - the whole of Europe at once if it were foolish enoug h t o d ec l are sympathy with Poland an act of hostility, But the Swedish Government will take care not to do any act of which Russia could fairly complain. It has fulfilled its international duties by putting an em bargo on the Ward Jackson ; and it will take care, until it has full assurances of support, not to com mit itself to any measure which must have for its consequence war or an abject apology.. The fact is, that although the attitude of Sweden is worthy of attention, it is only so because that attitude may reveal the intentions of France. Warlike prepara tions in Sweden, and an offensive demeanour of its Government towards Russia, would be grave signs, because they would mirror warlike designs on the part of one or both of the Western Powers. In a matter like this the declaration of the Swedish peo ple or the chit-chat of the King have not the slightest value. We know beforehand that they would like to strike a blow at their old enemy, Russia, but we know, too, that they will do nothing of the kind until they are asked by some great power to help in the enterprise. A German newspaper which pretends to publish every day diplomatic secrete, and announced some time ago that the Emperor of the French had demanded the erection of Poland into an independent kingdom for the Duke de Leuchtenberg, declared the other day that it had been for some weeks in pos session of a most important statement of the King of Sweden, and proceeded to comment upon its great significance and the proof positive it furnished that war is coming. His M a j es ty said, or rather is alleged to have said, "Let but two French ships appear in the Baltic, I shall beat hand with 100,000 men." Well, put aside the fact that the King of Sweden would have very considerable difficulty in getting his 100,000 men together, the bravado, if really uttered, only told what everybody knew before, that Sweden would go to war with Russia at this moment if the Emperor of the French asked her assistance and promised her his protec tion. Two French ships would be the precursors of two hundred transports. The conduct which Sweden is disposed to pursue is mirrored in the report of the committee of the Rigsdag to which the motions of the different Chambers, expressing sym pathy with the Poles, and proposing to call upon the Government to take, in conjunction with the other powers parties to the treaties of Vienna, the necessary diplomatic steps towards the re-establish ment of the kingdom of Poland, were referred. The committee, whilst affirming that these notions only express the general feelings of the Sw e d is h p eop l e , recommends that the Rigsdag should take no s t e p s , but leave the question in the hands of the Go vernment, " which will act according to the wishes of the people, where these can be regarded with out endangering the true interests of the country." RUSSIAN ATROCITIES. A communication from Cracow of the 20th in the Debals says : " The insurrection is spreading among the higher classes of the nation. The large proprietors solicited by the Russian Government to lend it their co operation, and on the other hand urged by the chiefs of the insurrection to unite with them, had up to the present time maintained a certain neutrality. A great number of those proprietors, with their families, retired either to Warsaw or abroad, but the odious measures of recruitment have since driven them to the side of the insurgents. After the burn ing of the chateau of Count Zamoyski came the complete devastation of the chateau and the public establishments which C mint Przedziechi had founded at Ojcow, a bathing place in one of the most delight ful valleys of the country. What has just taken place at Moyslanoi, in the Government of Lublin, fills up the cup of general indignation. That domain belongs to Count Poletylo, one of the richest land owners in the country, and who, before the adoption of the recruitment measure, even passed for being one of the partisans of the Marquis Wielopolski. At the most unexpected moment a Russian column surrounded the chateau of Count Poletylo, who was at table with his family and some friends. Not a single insurgent was there. Without any prelimi nary summons the commandant of the Russian troops opened a fire on the peaceable inhabitants of the chateau. M. Moyciechnoski, brother-in-law of the Count, and his son were killed, as well as several of the servants of the house. An old man, Major Kuim, was wounded. The Russian soldiers after wards entered the chateau, Ns hick they completely pillaged and sacked." Course of the Exchange--Yesterday.

It is not simply that these two most attractive volumes comprise within them the eolieJted corres pondence (carefaily revised) which was contributed during his sojourn in America by Mr. Dicey to Macmalcm's Magazine and the Spectator newspaper. It is much more than that mere revisal and accu mulation of the bit by bit information sent at un certain intervals by a special correspondent to a popular monthly, or to a popular weekly periodical. The work is, in fact, an ex pansion of those communications on the one hand to Macmillan, and on the other to the Spectator. Viewed as such, they are especially interesting to us, as distinct indications enough that the labours of intelligent, and gifted, and conscienti ous men like Mr. Dicey and Dr. Russell—their labours, that is to say, as Special Cot respondents— are in no way so ephemeral as might be supposed by superficial observers. Their correspondence, in point of fact, furnish the raw materials of History Their scattered communications would repay any search that might be made after them in the broad sheets of the newspapers in which one or the other series might have originally made their appearance. But, happily, for future Prescotts and Macaulays, the Captain Pens who have gone out " taking notes," like that canny " chiel" of yore, Captain Grose, have them selves grouped together their piecemeal produc tions, have sorted them, re-arranged them, revised them, expanded them, numbered them in chapters, and portioned those chapters out again in volumes octavo—so that, out of a straggling, scrambling correspondence there emerges something at last bearing about it the appearance of a sub stantive contribution to our literature. Dr. Russell having thus told us in two entertaining volumes, as much as he himself had to tell us, about "North and South"—Mr. Dicey now, in his turn, recounts in two other volumes, quite as entertaining in their way, though altogether of a very different character indeed, all about his " Six Months " Stay in " The Federal States." When we have said, as we may at once say, even here at starting, that the work is worthy both in its tone and in its style (viewing it at once as a literary composition and as a political survey), that it is worthy upon the whole of Cavour's bio grapher, we have already pronounced a panegyric upan it. It is a commendation however to which it is unquestionably entitled. Mr. Dicey is no mere bookmaker. He sets out with a comical ex pression of his horror of that most tedious of all possible exemplars or book-making—the Diary Proper, or Matter-of-fact journal-keeping. " I own," he says, " to me, the perusal of any other person's diary is singularly uninteresting." Surely that is what Shakapere had in his " mind's eye, Horatio,"—when he coupled wita " suckling fools" the "chronicling of small beer." Upon the very same page of vol. 1, speaking of your Diary Proper —" I always wonder," he writes, " when I chink of it, what conceivable satisfaction a fellow passenger [while crossing the Atlantic with Mr. Dicey, keeping a careful log (this fellow passenger) of the vessel's progress] what conceivable satisfaction he expected to derive hereafter from the knowledge that, on one day during that weary, dreary blank which a sea voyage forms in human life, we were in longitude 42 degrees 15 minutes, and the next in longitude 46 degrees 38 minutes." Nothing of this kind will the reader of these two alternatively instructive and amusing volumes, find himself wearied with, while turning over their leaves. Twaddle is a thing abhorrent to the soul of the writer. Often enough we find ourselves at variance with him in the conclusions he arrives at. But always—even when differing the most widely—we respect the earnest thinker in Mr. Dicey, we are conscious that it is no mere funeur who has been sauntering down Broad way for our advantage ; one scanning the men and things, the events and prospects of America in this dread period of her history, either through the spy-glass of my Lord Dundreary, or through the half-closed eye-lids of Sir Charles Coldstream. Of the quality of the man, both us a writer and as an observer we will forthwith, however, and without any further preamble, afford our readers a sufficiently striking specimen. Here, then, culled from pages 220-221 of Vol. 1., is Air Dicey's vivid portraiture of PRESIDENT LINCOLN. If you take the stock Engtish caricature of the typical Yankee, you have the likeness of the President. To say that he is ugly is nothing : to add that his figure is gro tesque is to convey no adequate impression. Fancy a man six-foot high, and thin out of proportion, with long bony arms and legs, which, somehow, seem to be always in the way, with large rugged hands, which grasp you like a vice when shaking yours, with a long scraggy neck, and a chest tco narrow for the great arms hanging by its side; add to this figure, a head cocoa• nut shaped and somewhat too small for such a stature, covered with rough, unoombed and un combatable lank dark hair, that stands out in everey direc tion at once; a face furrowed, wrinkled, and indented, as though it had been scarred by vitriol ; a high narrow fore head ; and, sunk deep beneath bushy eyebrows, two bright, somewhat dreamy eyes, that seemed to gaze through you without looking at you; a few irregular blotches of black bristly hair in the place where beard and whiskers ought to grow ; a close-stt, thin-lipped stern mouth, with two rows of large white teeth; and a nose and ears, which have been taken by mistake from a head of twice the size. Clothe this figure, then, in a long, tight, badly-fit ing suit of black, creased, soiled, and puck ered up at every salient point of the figure—and every point of this figure is salient—put on large, ill-fitting boots, gloves too long for the long bony figgers, and a fluffy hat, covered to the top with dusty, puffy crape; and then add to all this an air of strength, physical as well as moral, and a strange look of dignity coupled with all this gro tesqueness, and you will have the impression left upon me by Abraham Lincoln. You would never say he was a gentleman ; you would still less say he was not one. There are are some women about whom no one ever thinks in corm' ction with beauty, one way or the other—and there are men to whom the epithet of " gentlemanlike" or " un gentlemanlike" appears utterly incongruou., and of such the President is one. Still there is about him a complete absence of pretension, and an evident desire to be courteous to everybody, which is the essence, if not the outward form, of high-breeding. There is a softness, too, about his smile. and a sparkle of dry humour about his eye which redeem the expression of his face, and remind me more of the late Dr. Arnold, as a child's recollection recalls him to me, than any other face I can call to memory. Of Mr. Lincoln'sfacetice several amusing specimens are given immediately after the above very curious description of the personal aspect of this Man of Mark—that "first-rate second-rate man," as Wendell Phillips wittily called him! It is characteristically said of Mr. Lincoln by our author, while giving a few selected specimens of his comicality, that the wit betrayed by him through many of these anec dotes, is, oftener than one would wish, too Aristo phanic for quotation ! " He is a humorist," however, Mr. Dicey says emphatically, " not Of Wendell Phillips, whose name we have gratification of bear mentioned, our author gives us . copious report of a speech he himself had the gr o a s ti tile Great Anti ing him deliver in his charactl passage from Slavery Orator.

When a person it, for I do o n n 't ti ar o e f N what man gets into the rapids c gara it doesn't matter much what he intends ; he will go over." n If Mr. Dicey shows himself—as he indubitably do's —singularly skilful as a reporter of men's words, and as a describer of their outward appearance, no less than occasionally also as a delineator of their inner temperaments and idiocycracies—it may be as well to afford our readers likewise some notion of his aptitude as a depicter of scenes and places, in one word, as a topographer. Here then is his mar vellously clever little outline of the "Empire City," across the ocean—that is, of the far famed-- CITY OF NEW YORE. The Island of Manhattan, on which New York is placed, is very like the shape of a sole. Now, if you suppose that the skeleton of a sole had a network of cross-bones, parallel as well as perpendicular to the backbone, you will have an enact idea of the plan of New York. The backbone is t Broadway; the parallel cross-bones aro the avenues, num bered from east to west ; and the bones at right angles to the spines are the streets, numbered consecutively from the sole's mouth to its tail. This arithmetical nomenclature of the streets, which seems so barbarous to us in Europe, is really of great practical couvenierice. Tho system is not perfect, because the streets in the old part of the town ht.va names of their own; bat still it is sufficiently so, to enable anyone to tell, given the name of a street, whereabouts it is situated, and how to get to it. The corner end of the island, corresponding► to the sole's mouth, is the commercial part, the city of New York, of which Wall-street is the Cornhill. Broadway is the great thoroughfare, where all the chief shops and stores are situated; and Fifth Avenue, with the streets running across it, is the fashionable quar ter, the resort of the Upper Ten Thousand, the Belgravia of the town. Across the middle of the island stretches the Central Park, and beyond that are large, streggiling suburbs, whose streets stand high up in the multiplication table, and which threaten, in a few years, if New York should grow at its present rate, to c/rer the whole island of Manhattan. Across the Hudson and the East River, which join at the city end of the island, lie the great suburbs of Jersey City and Brooklyn—Birkenheads, so to speak, to the New World Liverpool. So much for the topography of New York. The volumes under notice are inscribed 'oy their writer, " by permission," he tells us, to no less for • midable a reader of any man's lucubrations, than— JOHN STUART MILL, perhaps the most philosophic mind of our age. There is courage in such a dedi cation—but, in keeping with it, there is a courage of thought and of expression apparent to us, again and yet again, throughout the whole of Mr. Dicey's manfully outspoken volumes. We read them even. where they are the most directly opposed to our own views, with that especial satisfaction with which we all turn to the examination. of the writings of a man who is really himself in earnest. Before closing our remarks upon Mr. Dicey it is but justice to him to observe that he is not less of an Englishman in his views, because, in one sense, he is more of a cosmopolite. Dr. Samuel Butler's Atlas of Modern Geography. A New Edition. 33 Maps. Longman and Co. We are never 'surprised at the announcement of another New Edition of the compact and admira ble little Atlas of Modern Geography, for which so many English students have so long stood in debted to the skill and the research of the late Bishop of Lichfield. But—even in these days of cheapne . ss and enterprise—we are, for once, surprised by certain peculiarities noticeable in the entirely New Edition of the work but just now issued from the press by the Messrs. Longman. While very considerably improved, it is, at the same time, wonderfully cheapened. Containing three and thirty full coloured maps, carefully engraved on steel by Mr. Edward Weller, a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, a draughtsman well up to his work—this royal quarto atlas by the late Bishop of Lichfield, Dr. Samuel Butler—pre viously head master of Shrew s b ur y S c h oo l, com prises withinit several additional maps never be fore published; being, besides that, minutely cor reeled throughout "from the Government surveys' 58 well as "from the most recent authentic sources of information." The whole - work, moreover, has been edited by the author's son, the present rector of Langan, the Rev. Thomas Butler, M.A., F.R.G.S. As evidence of the care taken with each division of the work as it passed through the hands of the en. graver it may be sufficient to observe that the discoveries of Livingstone, Burton, Speke, Barth, and others were very cautiously taken into account in the map of the continent of Africa. This Modern Atlas (now costing no more than half a guinea) is in a manner perfected as a book for instant refer ence by an Index wonderfullycopious when viewed in connection with the moderate dimensions of the volume and the scale upon which the maps con tained within it have been drawn. Herbert Fry's Shilling Gutde to the London Charities. Pp. 174. Robert Hardwicke. Remembering the dictum of the Prince of the Apostles about charity covering a multitude of sins, one cannot, while looking over the pages of this most affecting catalogue of the abundant charities of London--one cannot but think, with a sense of awe and of hope of the charity that may literally be "covering " or overshadowing the sins of the Great City. It is a wonderful catalogue. Though merely a list of names and dates, and addresses, and objects, and incomes—it is pleasant reading, for all that. We have a feeling of obligation towards Mr. Fry for the industry with which he has compiled these useful and consolatory particulars. It is a shilling's worth of information well worthy of the careful study of the benevolent. MARKETS--This Day. COVENT GARDEN.
