The reinforcement for the 71st Light Infantry, under the command of Capt. 11. H. St. Leger and Ensign C. H. Bunbury, embarked at Gravesend yesterday for Gibraltar, under the superintendence of Brigade-Major W. W. Lynch and the officers of the Quartermaster - General's department from Chatham.

Murray - , after the em barkation of the troops, and will to-day receive on board a large party of convicts from the St. Mary's convict establishment, Chatham, for conveyance to Gibraltar. She also takes a number of convicts from Portsmouth and Portland. With reference to IVar-office Circular 849, sec tion 10, and to clause 50, Army Circulars, 1867, section 51, it has just been notified, for the infor mation and guidance of officers commanding and others at stations where there are women's hospi tals, that when others than the wives and children of soldiers on the married establishment of corps are sent into hospital for treatment, on the recom mendation of the principal medical officer, and with the approval of the general officer commanding, a daily stoppage of ls. in the case of each adult, and 6d. for each child under 10 years of age, will be charged against the husband or parent.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, WEDNESDAY, December 2. A grand democratic manifestation was rumoured to be projected for the 3rd of December, but nothing of the kind is likely to take place. It was reported that a pro cession'of democrats clad in:mourning would be organised, and that the certain interference of the military would lead to a serious disturbance. The authorities, it was confidently urged, had already taken strategic precautions against the possibility of such a demonstration. Certainly, if any procession takes place to-morrow, it will be contrary to all expectation, and cannot prove a very formidable affair. The democratic leaders all condemn the project. The Siecle hopes that the citizens of Paris will afford no such pretext for the Government again "saving society." There is, adds the Republican organ, a rendezvous which no democrat ought to fail to attend : it is the electoral urn. There the victory must be gained. "It would be very bad strategy to play the game of our adversaries at the very moment when their repeated blunders are exciting public feeling against them." Very true : the Slide and the democratic leaders have done wisely in condemning this proposal. Serior Olozaga Las had interviews both with Prince Napoleon and M. Rouher. 'There is still talk of divisions in the Cabinet. "M. Rouher is represented as being sepa rated from his colleagues on account of his opposition to the Baudin prosecutions. Marshal de MacMahon, Governor General of Algeria, now at Compil•gne, is said to demand a sum of £120,000 to purchase food for the natives during the winter, in order to prevent a renewal of the sufferings of last year. Algeria is an unhappy colony. Military government, and the natural inaptitude of the Frenchman for the onerous post of pioneer of the desert, have rendered the African possessions of France a complete failure. Nearly one thousand French colonists have just left the country in order to seek their fortune in the Brazils. The "admirable centralisation, envied by all Europe," has not cut a very creditable figure of late at home, but it is systematically and invariably out of joint abroad. In compliance with the intentions of the deceased Baron James de Rothschild, the Baroness and children have, in addition to the generous donations already made by them, just sent £2,000 for the hospitals of Paris. The most diverse statements of the fortune left by the great financier are published, but an account from a good quarter says that the income left to his widow is not less than £OO,OOO a year. Garibaldi is said to be seriously ill at Caprera. This is not the first time such an announcement has been made, nor will it by any means be without precedent should it prove false. Mazzini has been left in peace for the last few days. Nothing is known of his condition. The woman Jeanneret, who was accused of poisoning nine people in Switzerland, has just been tried. The case lasted several days, each separate murder being in vestigated. The court found the murderess guilty on eight of the nine charges of poisoning. A plea of insanity was set up, but failed, as it was proved that the woman was in full possession of her faculties, and she was accordingly sentenced to twenty years' hard labour.

In the S. of Ireland pressure has still decreased since esterday, but in the N.W. the change has been most rapid, amounts g to half an inch at Greencastle. Readings are generally low, especially in Ireland ; but the excess of pressure at Rochefort over that at Cape Clear is not very great, being only 0 581 n. Temperature has risen generally: the increase has been most marked on the N.B. coast. A southerly gale WWI felt in the S. of Ireland, and at Holyhead and Penzance, but this morning the gale is reported only from Cape Clear, and is south-westerly. Fresh winds from tl.c same quarter ar: now blowing in the Channel : in the Bay of Biscay the wind is strong from the S. The weather is unsettled, being generally overcast, with rain, in the S. of England :in Ireland the fall has been very heavy. The sea is rather high there. Warnings to N. and E. coast' LAW INTEL LIGENCE-7 his Day. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. GRISSEL V. BRISTOIVE. The Lord Chief Justice and Lord Chief Baron Kelly delivered judgment in this important case relative to the usage of the Stock Exchange. The action was brought to recover £BOO and inte rest, the amount of a call of £lO per share upon 80 shares in Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited), made after the sale of the shares by the plaintiff to the defendants. The case turned upon the usage of the Stock Exchange in reference to these transactions. The facts were turned into a special case and urged in the Court of Common Pleas, when the majority of the learned judges gave judgment for the plaintiff. Against that decision the defendants appealed to this court, and after hearing the arguments the Court took time to consider its judg ment. To-day his lornship delivered judgment, re versing the decision of the Court of Common Pleas, and directing the verdict to be entered for the de fendants. ItIARKE7 S-2 MS DAY. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. The supply of beasts is not large, and mainly con sists of those left over from Monday last, and are inferior in quility. Trade is heavy, and a clearance can nect be effected.

DEAL, Thursday Morning. Wind s S.S.W., fresh. No arrival& ROBBERY.—Patrick Mahoney, an Irish labourer, aged 22 years, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with stealing a watch and chain and vari ous articles of linen and wearing apparel, the pro perty of Elizabeth Russell, of No. 15, Church-street, Blackfriars-road. The complainant said—About four months ago she was in respectable service at No. 2, Lockwood terrace, Guildford, and while there she made the acquaintance of the prisoner, who paid his addresses to her and was accepted as her lover. He promised her marriage, and the bans were put up in a Protestant Church. At last he prevailed her to leave Guildford and to proceed to London, where he said they could get married by a Roman Catholic priest. She accompanied him to London, and he took an apartment near the Waterloo Station. He effected her ruin, and then put off the marriage day, on the ground that he had to go to con fession, and perform other acts of penitence and submission to his church before he could contract a marriage. He persuaded her to live with him at No. 6, John-street, Poplar. He behaved very ill to her, stole her watch and chain worth £6 10s., a gold ring, and other articles, which he pawned, and on Monday week he finally aban doned her, taking with him everything belonging to him except the clothes she stood upright in. Sue had recourse to the charity of a person in Church-street, Blackfriars-road, for a few nights' lodging, and sought for the prisoner, who was traced by the City of London police to Gun powder-alley, Shoe-lane. Last night the prosecu trix went there with Thomas Barber, a policeman of the City force, No. 429. On the prosecutrix ask ing for Patrick Mahoney she was told that uo per son of that name lived there, and was turned out of the house. Barber, however, forced his way into the house, and found the prisoner iu an upstairs room. He took him into custody, and on the way to the station-house the prisoner said the young woman had no business to leave Guildford and come to London with him, and that she was as bad as him. He denied having taken her clothes and linen, but no other person could have taken them, and he was away while she was in bed and asleep on the evening of November 23. In cross-examination by the prisoner, the prose cutrix said that she did not give the prisoner leave to pawn her watch and chain. There was a conver•. sation between them about pawning a ring. She did pawn it herself in Grundy-street, Poplar, for ls 61 to obtain food, and the prisoner stole the ticket out of her drawer and obtained 3s. 6d. more upon it without her sanction. Mr. Benson said the prosecutrix could not expect much sympathy after eloping with a bricklayer's la bourer, of whom she knew very little. The prisoner's conduct, however was as disgraceful as it could possibly be, and it was the behaviour of a coward and a blackguard. The prisoner had seduced the girl and made her live with him, and then robbed her. The prisoner was as great a villain as ever went before a jury, and then when he was taken into custody he had the impudence to boast that she was as bad as him, that she ought not to have left Guildford at all. lie remanded tho prisoner for a week. SPAIN. '....c. .11. s.••.• (11Y REUTERS TELEGRAMS.) MADRID, Dec. 2. A rumour was afloat yesterday evening that the Volunteers on Guard at the Hotel de Ville were to be relieved during the night by the troops of the line. Consequently groups of people were collected on the Puerta del Sol, and rem,tined there until ono o'clock this morning. Upon the arrival on the spot of the Captain-General of Madrid, Senor Iz quierdo, and his denial of the truth of the rumour the people returned to their homes. -. ... 10ii 25 20 20 50 20 100 POLICE .INTELLIGENCE—;This Day. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. 0 UTRA GEO US CONDUCT. orn as Johnson, a rough-looking fellow, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaults and with intent to rob. Edward Dayles, a boy, residing at Lambeth walk, said—Between half-past eight and nine o'clock last night I was walking along Davies street, and when passing some railings the prisoner came up and seized me round the neck and waist, and pushed ine against the railings. Mr. Knox—Did he make any attempt on your pock et ? Witness—No. I got away and ran, and a con stable asked me what was the matter; I told the constable, who went aftfr the prisoner, and found him in the act of treating another boy in a similar way. Prisoner—Did 1 attempt to pick your pocket ? Witness—No. Prisons—Don't I live near you and know you ? Witness—l never saw you before. Police-oustab!e Alfred Hunt, 163 C, sail last night, about a quarter to 8, Isaw the pri , onerloitering about Davies-street, Oxford-str,3et, and he coutinuAi there for half an hour, and then went down Davies mews and looked into a carriage and then came back to Halwood-gate. I afterwaris S . /NV the pri soner put his left hand up to the witness's (Dayles) throat, as he (Hunt) was passing the railing, and tried to thtow the witness down, but the witness got from him and made off. I asked the witness what was the matter, and on his telling me I went after the prisoner, and saw hi:n about 80 yards ahead across Brooke-street. Directly after a boy came along with a basket, and I saw prisoner go up to the boy, put his hand into the basket and felt about, and he then felt the boy about the waist, but the boy having an apron on the prisoner could not get at his pockets. I told the prisoner that I should take him into custody for assaulting the boys and at tempting to pick their pockets. The prisoner said, "You animal, let me go," and struggled vio lently and kicked me several times, but with the assistance of a young man I got him to the station. Mr. Knox—ll as the prisoner sober ? Co❑stable—He was. Prisoner—No, I was drunk your worship. I met the boy and thought ho lived near me. I had no intention of picking pockets. Constable—He has not been in work for some time, and calls himself a pugilist, and has been locked up before. Mr. Knox—l will have the prisoner's character well inquired into before I decide the case. if it turns out to have been the act of a drunken ruffian I will decide it, but if otherwise the prisoner will go for trial. Remanded. We truly predicted that the election amenities n England would, when the chance offered, soon put Columbia to the blush, compelling her to ac knowledge that she was whipped out of creation by her English cousin Britannia. The director of a London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, or of an Overend-Gurney discount house, turns up his eyes with horror at the proceedings in Wall-street, at a Drew or a Vanderbilt, till the thief himself stands convicted, and his ample cloak of respectability is stripped off. But even then he scarcely sees and feels his own villainy while the foreign one is in his eyes, a glaring fraud, and he thanks God that he is not as these men. So with the electors. Save us, ex claims our English Tory from the- disgraceful scenes daily occurring in America—that, pointing to the United States, is what your model insti. tutions come to. But the moment the man is himself tried, no matter whether a bloated aris tocrat, whether a servile worshipper of things old, or a sturdy Radical, be proves the same. Indeed, judging from the samples before us, the most bitter, the most ill-bred and unscrupulous are among the Tories, and those of the higher ranks. A distin guished Radical candidate for a metropolitan borough, with many similar letters, received this " I have never yet given my vote to a ruffian or a revolutionist, and Ido not intend to do so now. I return your Fenian address, and am with the greatest contempt for yourself, the maniac Goldwin Safith, the Jamaica Committee, and your Fenian supporters in the borough —Au Elector." Colonel Somerset, at Abergavenuy, accused his opponent, Colonel Clifford ; of having coerced voters in 1847, on which Clifford called him a liar, and his son in-law put his fist in Somerset's face, while another gentleman, who was standing by, struck him twice. At Rugby, Dr. Temple, the learned head master of that great public school, was violently thrust from the Town Mall, as he was considered to Lave no right to hear the address of his Conservative op ponent, Mr. Newds.g Ite. Nor were the Liberals far behind, as the case between Lord Enfield, eldest sou of the Earl of Stafford, and Mr. Henry Labou chere proves. Ilis lordship plumply told the com moner that he did not believe him in some dispute touching how the expenses for their joint election as Liberals for Middlesex were to be apportioned. " Enfield," retorted the commoner, " you were always an incurable sneak," and thus they settled the little money difference, but not without the in fatuation which iuduces these people to publish these stories. Enfield says he is the scion of good stock, and he regards Labouchere as a snob. Labouchera says he is as good as Enrield, whom he calls to his face an incurable sneak, evidently believing it. Yet both they and the electors desire to see the union of snob and sneak, as their only appropriate representatives. A Tory would reply that this is the effect of lower ing the franchise, although the actors are not only old members, but some of them lords, and the man who appears to have behaved best was the working man's candidate, Odger ; who sacrificed his own chance freely to benefit his party, working heartily for another. On the whole, however, there is an evident improvement, as those who remember the elections of a quarter of a century ago can testify, both iu England and in America, which proves the steady march of education, as intimidation was little used except in the benighted districts of the Southern States and of IVales and Ireland.—A American Junes. THAMES. WESTMINSTER. OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT. —Charles Hames, a tall, young fellow, was charged with the following out rageous assault : Mr. Hedges, barrister, Lincoln's-inn, said he was on his way to his chambers, in Victoria-street, at a little after 12 last night, when he saw the defendant following a woman about, and she was endeavour ing to avoid him, but could not. As they ap proached complainant the defendant pushed the woman so violently that she fell against the window of a house, which alone prevented her going to the ground. She then addressed com plainant, entreating him to save her from further violence. He accordingly spoke to the defendant mildly, asking him why he was ill conducting him self in this way towards the woman, upon which the defendant replied that she was his w ife, and that as a consequence he had a right to use her as he liked. He then rushed towards complainant, knocked his hat off, and, repeating his blows, cut his left temple. A policeman came up and took the defendant into custody. The policeman proved that Mrs. Hodge was suffering from marks of violence, besides bleeding on the temple. A witness said his hat must have come off, and he must have knocked his head against the wall somehow. Mr. Arnold—Knocked his own hat off first, and then ran his head against the wall to blacken his eyes? Defendant—Yes, somehow that way. Mr. Arnold—• You have committed a most dis graceful assault upon this gentleman, and I shall commit you for two months to hard labour in the 11011313 of Correction. With reference to General Order 95, 1868, com manding officers of corps having canteens on the regimental system, have been directed to forward with the quarterly abstract of accounts to be fur nished to the Quartermaster-General, a copy of the printed list of articles sold in the canteen, with the current retail prices, which is directed in paragraph 1,021 of the Queen's Regulations, 1868, to be pusted up in a conspicuous place in every canteen, ITA LI .

Yesterday, at the City Police Court, Charles Garwood was charged before Mr. Fowler with having, on the Bth November, stolen the sum of £5OO belonging to his employer, Mr. J. N. Sale, insurance broker, Princess-street ; and George Henry Carr was charged with being an accomplice in the theft. Mr. Jordan, who appeared for the prosecution, said that Garwood was, until lately, a con tidenti.d. clerk in the employ of Mr. Sale, and Carr was his brother-in-law. Carr had been in the habit for some time, without Mr. Sale's knowledge, of fre quenting that gentleman's place of business. On the day in question, during the employer's absence in Liverpool, Garwood received from various persons, on his employer's account, cheques and gold amounting to £5OO, with which he absconded. It was discovered that he had sailed for America along with Car. Information was sent per At lantic cable to the Halifax (N.S.) police, and upon their landing there the prisoners were de tained until the arrival of Sergeant Torr, from Manchester, who brought them back. All that he (Mr. Jordan) proposed to do was to call evidence upon which he could ask for a remand. The charge would ultimately be brought home to both prisoners. Sergeant rlorr said he went to Halifax with a warrant to arrest the prisoners upon the present charge. Tbey were given into his custody by the Halifax police. Within a week he had no doubt the evidence in support of the charge would be complete., Some bank notes found on the prisoners had been detained in Halifax, the police there pro mising to forward them to Capt. Palin, but they had not been received.—The prisoners were re manded for a week.
