Ten thousand sovereigns were taken from the Bank on Saturday for export to Alexandria by the Poonah. The steamers which left New York on Saturday for Europe took £200,000 in specie. The Douro has arrived from the West Indies with £300,000 in specie ; the Uyanza, from Alexandria, with £11,574 ; and the Cuba and Hammonia, from New York, with £51,000. The report of the National Bank of Liverpool, for the year 1867, states that the balance to the credit of profit and loss is £11,593 16s 10d, out of which the directors propose to declare a dividend for the half-year ending 31st December last at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income-tax, which will absorb £11,250 ; the balance, £348 16s 10d, will be transferred to the reserve fund, which will then stand at £72,292 5s 7d. These results, they add, would have been more favourable but for an unexpected loss of about £15,000, which has, however, been fully provided for in the accounts. The general business of the bank, especially as regards the number of new accounts, shows a satisfactory increase ; and some debts pre viously written off as bad have been recovered.

The following is Layton and Co.'s " Tea Clircular :" "Transactions in the Tea Market have continued of fair extent during the past fortnight, and prices realised for common qualities of Oongou may be quoted a shade higher, but the recent arrivals from Shanghae have afforded a large assortment of fair to medium kinds of black leaf, which have met only a moderate competition from the trade, and sales of these descriptions have been for the most part effected at rates in favour of the buyer. Good to fine Monings are firmly held, and the quantity in first hands is now small : the export demand bas not however been at all active, and the business reported is of comparatively little moment. Dusty and broken teas sell readily at full prices, but good common to fair red-leaf, even of recent import, brought only is Oid to is 21,1 per lb. 'New district' Congous of old season, sold in half chests at la 3d per lb. Scented Orange Pekoes, both Canton and Foochow, meet with some enquiry, the latter at lower rates. Capers, on the other band, have been sold to some extent at from is 4d to 1s lid per lb. The arrivals of green tea during the fortnight have consisted chiefly of Ping Suey kinds. About 1,500 packages printed ' without reserve' were disposed of in public sale :—No. 1 Gunpowder at 3s 9d and Nos. 2 to 4 all in boxes at 2s lOid to 3s 4d. The small auctions of 21st inst. comprised only 13,167 packages, of which 11,709 were Printed without reserve. The arrivals to this port since our last are :—January 11th, Maiden Queen from Foo chow ; 13th, Chanticleer from Macao, Invincible and Jubilee from Shanghae ; 14th, Queen of the. Age. from Foe - ohOW," Pega - sus and Isles of the South from Shanghae ; 1 5th, Wild Deer and Anglo Saxon from Shanghae, Niphon from Canton, Caranjah from Foochow ; 16th, Sooloo from Shanghae ; 17th, Sir W.

THE CHILDREN OF Toss SAYERS. —Mr. Marshall, the chief clerk of the Master of the Rolls, had before him the case of Sayers v. Stent. This was an application made by Mr. Edward Johnson, of Clifford's Inn, for an issue to be directed to a court of law to try who were the legitimate children of Tom Sayers living at the time of his death. About £3,000 was collected shortly after the fight with Heenan and settled on Tom Sayers for his life, and at his death the fund was to be divided amongst his children then living. Mr. Edward Johnson now appeared for three children born after the marriage with his wife, and there were other children born of the wife before her marriage with Tom Sayers. The Chief Clerk perused an affidavit of the facts, and intimated his intention to refer the matter to the Master of the Rolls. Mr. Gay, who appeared for the trustees, said he had no objection to the course pro posed. The question would be whether there should be an 19'3 1 10 at common law or in Chancery. Mr. Edward Johnson said the Master of the Rolls would decide whether it should be with or without a jury. The matter was accordingly referred to the court. CONSERVATIVE DEMONSTRATION' IN BRISTOL. On Thursday evening a meeting, convened by the Bristol Working Men's Association,was held in the large hall of the Rifle Club, in order that the operatives of the city might hear addresses from Mr. W. Ferrand, Mr. Cecil Raikes, and Mr. R. N. Fowler. There were about 5,000 persons present. The proceedings, which commenced in an orderly manner, grew, before the meeting had lasted long, very tumultuous, and concluded amid a perfect uproar. Mr. W. Kearsey presided. The CHAIRMAN said that Lord Stanley had re marked of the banquet held there the night previous that he had attended many demonstrations, but he never saw one more powerful or loyal than that of Wednesday in their ancient city of Bristol. (Cheers.) Ile regretted the absence of Lord Stanley on this occasion, and read a letter he had received from him. Mr. OWEN proposed the first resolution : " That this meeting desires to express its full confidence in the home and foreign policy of her Majesty's Ministers, and at the same to record its deep gratitude to them for having, under circum stances of great difficulty, restored the franchise to a large number of their fellow countrymen." (Cheers.) Mr. W. FERRAND, who was well received, se conded the resolution. He sdd that it was now 40 years since he first took a part in public affairs, and during the whole of that period be had never hesi tated to appear before his fellow countrymen to stand by the political truths which he professed, and it was a high compliment paid to him that evening by those he saw before him who were assembled there—(ironical laughter, and cheers) — to hear an address from him in defence of those principles which had bee,n dear to his heart from early youth, and he deeply regretted that Lord J Manners had not appeared that evening along with him. It was now 26 years since he became acquainted with that nobleman, noble in nature and noble in heart—(cheers) —whose political life had been spent in trying to exalt the character, the social and religious position of the working men of this country. (Cheers.) It would have done his heart good to have been present there that evening, and to receive a greeting by their hearty cheers. (Ap plause.) Official duty alone prevented him being present, duty to the country and duty to his Sove reign. Now, he stood there that night a Tory— (cheers) —and he would tell them why he was a Tory. (Cheers.) Toryism was political Freema sonry—(cheers)—it united every rank and every class in one common bond of amity, cementing the whole in mutual interests, and it was on account of Toryism working that principle and that action throughout the country that ho was a Tory— (cheers) —and that night he stood there to defend Toryism. And why ? Because for the last 40 years Toryism had been calumniated and abused—(confu sion, and a voice, " Justly")—falsehoods had been propagated against it by the Liberals and by the Liberal press. (" No, no," and "Yes, yes.") The Tories had treated these attacks with con tempt, but no principle was worth having un less it was worth defending. What did he see there that night? (A Voice—" A lot of Liberals.") A number of persons came there to listen and not to abuse, to see fair play, and not to shout, and groan, and hoot down. (Cheers.) The days for blubber and noise had gone by ; the people were exalted ; they were determined to judge for themselves ; they listened, they they took no man's w ord ; studied, they argued, and having formed their opinions they acted up to them. (A Voice—" The Liberals taught them to do it," and confusion.) A great mistake that had been made by the Tories was that they had neglected the Conservative press. The Conservative press had fought their battles for years, and had not received that support at the hands of the Tory party it ought to have had ; but the T o ries saw now that it was their duty to support the Co nservative p r ess , and he rejoiced to find they had papers in that city of every shade of politics, so that they could judge both sides, an d that was all he asked of the Liberal party—freedom of conscience, freedom of action. Well, then, let them have that, and if there was any one there standing on the outside— for he always found the lurkers in that part— ' (laughter)—if there were any there who thought they could put him down by noise and vulgar clap trap, they made a great mistake. (Laughter and confusion.) Aye, let them recollect that the insult was not offered to him, but to the intelligence and respectability of that great meeting, and he warned the disturbers that if they continued in their dis turbance it would recoil against them at the next general election. He had told them they had been charged and calumniated as being the enemies and oppressors of the people. (A voice—" Three cheers for Bright," and uproar.) But if they were the opponents of the people he challenged their oppo nents to prove it. Mr. Berkeley, in a speech he made in November last, charged the T ories with all sorts of crimes, and he finished his harangue with "Confound their politics, Frustrate their knavish tricks, On Gladstone our hearts we fix." (Cheers and laughter.) Now, during that speech Mr. Berkeley told them nothing in his opinion could save the country except the ballot, or words to that effect. (Cheers.) Well, it was an extraordinary thing that Mr. Berkeley should say he had fixed his h'eurt ort Gladstone and the hearts of his friends,, when Gladstone had always voted, against the ballot and spoken against it too. (Laughter.), Now, he stood there to prove the charges against the Tories to be false. Previous to the year 1830 they had been in office for a period of about 49 years, and during that lime the trade and commerce of the country bad increased in a marvellous manner, and the working population had also increased in an equal ratio in prosperity, in happiness, and in con tentment; but in the year 1830 the Duke of Wel lington made the great mistake of his life. He then, in the House of Lords, declared that he was opposed to all reform. From that time young as he (the speaker) was he protested against that declara tion, :and it was made against the feelings, the wishes, and the opinions of the great majority of the Tory party. (Confusion.) Well, the Liberal party, which was then the Whigs, took advantage of that declaration of the Duke of Wellington, and commenced a violent agitation throughout the country. They roused the passions of the ignorant, of the roughs, and rowdies, and dangerous classes then, as they were attempting to do now. (Con fusion.) The Tories, who had for centuries been the natural leaders of the working population of the country—(sheuts of laughter) —were denounced as their enemies, and the cry raised against them became so strong throughout the country that at a general election there was a majority of 350 Whigs returned to the House of Commons. When the Reform Bill was under discussion, the working population were urged to call out for the bill, the whole bill, and nothing but the bill. They well knew that in that bill, if he might use the ex pression, there was their political " death in the pot," that they were determined to be politically extinct. (Confusion.) Ho might tell them that there were people sent to that meeting to disturb it, and they were afraid of free discus sion. He trusted, for the character of that city, they would conduct themselves with propriety, and if they did not he would appeal to the others to pro tect him from insult. (Cheers and uproar.) Be fore 1831, when the Whigs came into office, the working men of the country returned to the Hon* of Commons, entirely or through their material inflence as voters, nearly 150 members. Now, the Reform Bill which was introduced by the Whigs was concocted to destroy the influence of the work ing men—that was, their votes to return these 150 members. That was a statement, which, being made by him, he was boundto prove, and he would prove it by quoting Lord J. Russell himself, and let them recollect the Tories resisted the attempt of the Whigs to rob the working men of the franchise. Let those recollect who did not feel inclined to listen to him that he was going to show them facts which they ought to know, and expose the treatment they had received at the hands of those who had for so long professed to be their friends. Se then quoted from Lord John Rumen speech in the House of Commons on the introduc tion of the Reform Bill in 1831, with respect to the gross venality and corruption among the electors of Bristol, and his assertion that he wished to give the franchise to the real respectability of the coun try. He (the speaker) would ask him to point out a more respectable man on the face of the earth than the honest working man. (Cheers.) Sir Robert Peel's defence.of the operatives and a quota tion from a speech of Mr. Baines, member for Leeds, who he said was a Whig and Radical combined, were given, and then the speaker proceeded to re mark on the benefits conferred by Sir C. Wetherall, but his observations were received with derisive shouts. He called on them to listen to what Sireharles did, and then let his enemies blush for very shame. Passing on to speak of the measures introduced by the Whigs, he said that they introduced the new Poor Law. (Confusion.) Ile would open the eyes of the working man that night—(laughter) —and be challenged his opponents to disprove what he said either in On public press or anywhere else. Who were the chief advisers of the new Pon. Law but the Manchester party ? They proposed that it should be directly enforced, in order that the work ing population of the south of England should be driven down into Lancashire to keep down the wages of the factory operatives. Letters bearing on that had been published and quoted by men in the House of Commons, and no man had power to deny them. Who had been the leader for the last twenty-five years of that Manchester party, and instructed the Poor Law Commissioners to send down the working men of the south into Lancashire to keep down wages, but Mr. Bright? (Cheers and hisses.) Now, who was it resisted the new Poor Law but Lord Eldon and the Bishop of Exeter? The Whig Government, from 1830 to 1841, pursued a course of gross extravagance in the wars in China and India, the people of which coun tries were unoffending, and they organised a system of jobbery and robbery unparalleled in the history of the country, and so disgusted did the peopl e a t _ _ length become with the Whigs that their majority dwindled down from 350 to one. (Confusion.) He glanced at the Government of Sir Robert Peel, and said that their member, Mr. Philip Miles, helped to strengthen his hands. The Tories then tried to raise the social position of the people, to redress their wrongs and restore to theirs the franchise. (A Voice—" All gammon.") As to the present Re form Bill, he remarked that in 1867 Mr. Gladstone assembled his supporters in the House and im plored them to throw out the bill, and Mr. Bright said if they did not throw it out on that occa sion they would never be able to do it. (Cheers.) He would tell them what the Tories had done for the people since 1841, and he had taken one of the most active parts in achieving the benefits which they had rendered. They repealed the harsh clauses of the Ten Hours Bill, and the Times newspaper proclaimed that he had been the chief cause of the repeal. They carried the Fac tory Bill ; they abolished the truck system and enforced the payment of wages in the current coin of the realm, and he was the man who brought the question before the House of Commons. (Cheers.) He was the man who moved that a committee should be appointed to inquire into the system ; and the committee was granted, and on their report the bill prohibiting the payment of wages in any thing but the current coin of the realm was passed. They stopped the working of women and children in coal mines, and introduced the free allotment system. If Mr. Berkeley were there he would tell him that those were the knavish tricks of the Tories, and no honest working man would confound their politics as long as they supported such interests. It was the Tories who frustrated the knavish tricks of the Whigs when they wanted to dispossess the freemen of the franchise. (Laughter and cheers.) Mr. Bright had charged the Tories with being the enemies of the working man. He was a large manufacturer, and bitterly opposed their interests. In factories formerly women worked fifteen hours a day, and had occasionally to be carried from the factories in the pangs of labour, and children were brutally treated by over lookers; but Mr. Bright protested against any fac tory legislation, and said that the masters had a right to do what they liked with their own work people, as long as the workpeople consented to work for them. (Uproar.) As to Mr. Gladstone, who had charged the Tories with deserting their prin ciples, there was not a greater political renegade in Great Britain and Ireland than Mr. Gladstone. (Confusion.) He had not represented one con stituency which he had not betrayed. (Great uproar.) He would give them a slight history of Mr. Gladstone's political career ; it was short and sweet, and they and the country ought to be reminded of it, and thoroughly understand it. (A Voice —" Cheers for Gladstope," and great tumult.) In 1832 he took his first seat in Parliament, and commenced his political life as the Tory nominee of the Tory Duke of Newcastle, and for three years he represented the borough of Newark. In 1835 the Duke turned him out for deserting his principles. In 1837 he went to a great meeting at Glasgow and urged the Whigs and Tories there to defend the institutions which were threatened with destruction by the extreme Radi cals, and to unite on a neutral ground to meet the attacks of the common enemy. Then he subse qf h had d e f an beenvt o y r m t o a h f d e e Ts a oi pm s p p o e r e t c hr Paine i n sf t t , eR e Hg Cornho t u s s L e o af w o I.

Let those who made the noise go home and tell the poli tical fools who sent them there that they were not going to fool the meeting. (Further uproar.) They might go home and be fried in their own frying pan. f • ng pan. (Laughter.) In May, 1864, Mr. Gladstone spoke in favour of trades' unions. (Great uproar.) Let them roar, he had a good pair of bellows. Those who made that uproar were the men who boasted of the liberty of their political principles, who asserted they ought to have a right to exercise their own judgment, and yet they came there to prevent a fair hearing. They did that because they knew Toryism was founded on truth and justice, and he was proving it to demonstration. (Confusion.) In 1867 Mr. Gladstone published a letter stating that trades' unions were an evil. (Great tumult, with cheers for Gladstone.) Let the men of Bristol re collect that they wanted their trade and commerce protected, and Lord Derby's Government was a safe standing-ground for every loyal man to take his stand upon—(confusion)—and he firmly believed that loyalty to their Sovereign and love to theis fa therland would unite the whole country in defence, at the next general election, of the altar, the throne, and the cottage. (Cheers and great up roar.) The resolution was put by the chairman, and de clared to be carried. The Council of the Zoological Society have elected Mr. Jesse as their zoologist to accompany the Abyssinian expedition, which appointment has.been approved by the Government. Mr. Jesse will join the head-quarters of Bir It. Napier. FLOODS AT OXFORD.—The recent heavy rains have submerged the low lands in and near Oxford ; the lower part of Port Meadow is nowhere to be seen, and Christ Church Meadow, the land towards Ifiley and Sand ford, and the meadows near llincksey, are also inundated. The floods are not, however, higher than they have fre quently been at this time of year, and certainly not of sufficient consequence to cause any alarm, more especially as they have, within the last day or so, subsided several inches. The Athenceum understands that the authorities of the National Gallery ; lamenting the probable cessation of the most valuable annual exhibition of pictures by the old masters and deceased British artists at the British Institution, are in treaty with the proprietors of the last named gallery for the further hiring of their premises in Pall Mall, in order to the carrying on of the gatherings of pictures on loan from the best furnished English private collection& COMMON LAW. • - - SALMON FISHERY ArrEAL.—ln the Court of Queen's Bench, before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Black burn, Mellor, and Lush, the case of Waite (appellant) v. George (respondent) was heard. This was an appeal from an order of the English Fisheries Commissioners directing the removal of certain ranks of " putchers," used by the appellant in the River Severn for catching salmon. The commissioners held a court of inquiry, at which the appellant was heard ; but he produced no documents, - and relied on evidence of user for at least sixty years. The case was part heard on Saturday, the 18th, and again on the 25th, when it was stated that no deeds were produced on that inquiry, and none asked for, because the mode of fishing only was under investigation. The claimant, however, had deeds going back to the 17th century, shewine the conveyance of a fishery at this place, whereupon the lord Chief Justice said it would strengthen the case, by shewing the existence of an ancient fishery at that place, and suggested that the case should be sod back to be re-stated by the Fishery Commissioners.—The Attorney-General and Mr. Hannen appeared in support of the order of the commissioners ; Mr. Manisty, Q.C., and Mr. 11. j. - Lines for the appellant, the owner of the fishery.—This morning the Attorney- General said his learned friend (Mr. Mamsty) wished the case to be sent back to the commissioners, to take further evidence, and re-state the case, to which he had no objec tion.—Case remitted accordingly. ComrEssATloN CASE.—In the Sheriff's Court, Red Lion square, before Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell and a special jury, the case of Gupillis v. the Midland Railway Com pany was heard. it was a question of compensa tion affecting property at Kentish-town. A sum of £750 had been offered, and after a long conversation as to the value of the property, in which the surveyors, as usual, differed very considerably, the jury gave £750 for the land and .£l7 for the kerb, which will carry costs being beyond the offer made. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. — This Day. . GUILDHALL. A STRANGE CONFESSION OF A MARTNER.—Thomas Towning, a master of a sloop, a few days ago gave himself up charging himself with having robbed his owner of £l7. He was brought before the alderman at the Guildhall, and remanded. He was now placed at the bar before Alderman Lusk, ALP., for further examination. The prisoner had been drinking very heavily, and was under the delusion that some men were following him about to murder him, and under that impression, he thought, if he got into prison they could not get at him there.— Alderman Lusk asked him if he still had the feeling that the men were following him.—The pri soner said he had not.—Alderman Lusk said he had com municated with the owner of the sloop, and he had replied that he was not aware that the prisoner had robbed him of anything. Under those circumstances he would be dis charged.—The prisoner said he worked the sloop on the principle of shares with the owner, and two-thirds of the 1;17 belonged to him (Towning).—He was then dis charged. MANSION HOUSE. DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—John M`Carthy and 'Tames Knowles were charged at the Mansion House with robbery and assault, under the following circumstances : Francis Scott, a seaman, stated that on Saturday night, shortly after eleven o'clock, he was walking along Tower street, when the prisoners and another man came up be hind, and two of them caught him by the arms while Knowles took some money out of his pockets. They then threw him down on his back and ran off.— Jas. Fox, 144 H said that at a quarter - past eleven he was crossing Towe-hill, and heard cries of " Stop thief." He saw the prosecutor rising up and the prisoners running. away. He caught M`Carthy , and a g entleman seized hold of Knowles, who knocked him down, but he did not suc ceed in making his escape. The third man got off. M`Carthy's real name was O'Brien, and he was known as a notorious character in Rosemary-lane, which was one of the worst places with which the metropolitan police had to do.—The prisoners were remanded till Wednesday. THAMES-STREET. ----- UNLAWFUL POSSESSION. —At the Thames Police-court Frederick Skiffington, 21, a servant of No. 3, Upper Grafton-street, was charged before ➢ir. Paget with unlaw fully possessing a key, the property of Mr. Charles Sterry. The prisoner had formerly been in the prosecutor's service, having left about three months ago. _During the time he employed him prosecutor had missed money from a daven port, in which Mrs. Sterry was in the habit of keeping money. The prisoner, when he left, to,k away the key of the wine-cellar, with which he had been entrusted. He was indiscreet enough to tell another man, named Cart wright, that he had it, and also the key of the davenport. He said he would get Mr. Sterry's cook to take some wine from the cellar, and also to steal money from the daven port, and suggested that they might enjoy themselves together. Cartwright, however, informed the police, and the prisoner was apprehended.—Mr. Paget remanded him. CLERKENWELL. SINGING SEDITIOUS SONGS.—John Henry:Sullivan, aged 28, described as a ballad-singer, living at No. 2, Queen street, Southwark, was brought before Mr. Knox, at Clerkenwell, charged with causing a crowd of persons to assemble and obstruct the public thoroughfare of Leather-lane, St. Andrew's, by singing seditious songs, to the annoyance of the inhabitants and passengers. —E vidence having been given to establish the charge, the prisoner said he did not know th ere was an ythi ng wrong about the song, as there was nothing about Fenianism in it.—Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner for a week, in order that the police might make i nqu i r i es concerning him. WESTMINSTER. WILFUL DAMAGE AT CREW/ENE GARDENS.—At the Westminster Police -court John Smith was charged with wilfully damaging the fence at Cremorne Gardens. A police-constable proved having seen the prisoner tear up a fence. Prisoner said that a nail caught in his coat and tore it, and he pulled up the fence in a moment of irrita tion. Mr. Ingham sentenced him to pay a fine of 10$. penalty, or 14 days' imprisonment.—Two boys were also charged with breaking down a summer-house. They were caught by a constable who was set to watch. The father paying the amount of the damage, &c., the prisoners were released. , . _ CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

The depositions were taken before a consu l at a foreign p or t, an d if the w i tnesses were not i n this country the depositions would be taken as evidence. It appeared that the deceased and a companion had been on shore and returned drunk, some q uarrelling taking place after they came on board which resulted in the p risoner stabbing the deceased. The statement he made was that he did so in self-de fence, and under the whole circumstances he (the Recorder) did not think the crime would amount to more than manslaughter. There was also a charge of murder against an Italian named Morelli. In thi s case there was no pretence that the prisoner's own life was in danger, but it might be co nsidered whether, the crime being comm itted in the heat of blood, there was suffi c i en t evidence to support the capital charge. The learned Recorder next alluded to a charge against a woman by the name of Eliza Collins, for the murder of her child by leaving - it exposed in a field, and stated that the question for the jury to consider was whether ther e was any intention that th e child should die. There wasa charge preferred un der extraordinary circumstances against Thomas Wagstaffe and his wife. The charge was to the effect that the parents caused the death of their child by neglect, and it appeared they were members of a sect who called themselves " The Peculiar People. One of their tenets was that it was contrary to the teachin gs o f Scripture to have recourse to medical advice for the resto ration of health, and the course they adopted was to anoint the child and pray to God for its recovery. The child was suffering from inflammation of the lungs, and the medica l testimony was, that if advice had been sought it would have had a fair chance of life. It was dif6;:mli to say that death was caused by the neglect of the parents, but it was a matter for regret that any body of people should so pervert the words of Scripture as to neglect the means usually resorted to in cases of illness. The Recorder proceeded to comment on some cases of minor importance r and the jury then retired to their room for deliberation. THE LATE CHARLES KEAN.—In accordance with the wishes of the late Mr. Charl.'s Kean, the funeral, which will take place at Keydell on Thursday next, will be of a strictly private character. Mrs. Charles Kean has received from the Queen a letter which expresses in tho most gracious terms the sympathy awakened in her Ma jesty's mind by the terrible loss Mrs. Kean has sustained. ' ACCIDENT TO AIR. CHARLES WARNER.—On Mon day night last Mr. Charles Warner, when acting in the farce "Honey Dove's Troubles," met with a singular and serious accident. In the character he represents Mr. War ner has to drink a glass of wine, and among the bottles on the table had been placed one containing a strong spirit used in lighting the gas. This mistake was nearly proving fatal to Mr. Charles Warner, who was immediately pre vented from proceeding with his part.

Gustave Victor and Maxim Fordore were placed at the bar before Mr. Flower charged with conspir ing together for the purpose of obtaining money from his Excellency the Prussian Atnbassador in London. Air. Abrams appeared for the Prussian Embassy ,o prosecute. kr. Lewis appeared on behalf of Baron Blom, to repudiate the charge of any such attempt being made by the Honoverians as had been alleged by the prisoner Victor. _ _ _ _ Herman Reek said--I am clerk in the office of the Prussian Embassy. On the Bth of January the prisoner Victor came to the Embassy and said he had a secret to tell, but that he was in a destitute condition. I communicated with Baron Schmithals, and when the prisoner called again on the 10th of January he said that a conspiracy was in progress, and that a man named Emerick was going to Berlin to assassinate the King of Prussia, and he had Orsini bombs in his possession. He said that Emerick was the head of a conspiracy. As Victor repeated he was much in need I gave him money for the information he had communicated, certainly not as charity. Every time Victor came he asked for money, as he could not be expected to co me without being paid, uor could he go to the dif- ferent gentlemen from whom he could procure in formation without remuneration. I told Victor that if his information was correct he would receive an adequate reward. He led me to believe that he was enabled to give such information as would lead to the apprehension of Emerick before the plot was put into formation. The prisoner Victor said the money he got from the witness was not for what he had stated, but that in fact it was as charitable relief, and that the wit■ ness never gave him any money without his asking for it. Baron Schmithals said—l recollect the prisoner Victor coming to me on the Bth of January, at the Prussian Embassy. He sent in a letter, and then I allowed Victor to have an interview. He said he had been in London about six months, and I wrote down a statement from the prisoner's dictation, which he signed. The prisoner also handed me a letter. On the following day he called again and made another statement, which 1 also took down. I also received a number of letters from the Bth to the 18th of January; but I am not aware who brought them. I received them from my servants ; the prisoner, however, when he called, invariably asked whether I had received his letters. Mr. Kneip said he lived at Hinde-street, Man chester-square, with Baron Klink, and was totally unacquainted with either of the prisoners. Baron Blom--I now reside in Half Moon-street, Piccadilly. I have some recollection of one of the gg prisoners coming t o me being. I have never way to make use of My aut h or i se d him in any name. recollect the prisoner L o uisa Lavis sai d—l Victor coming to 14, Hinde-street, Manchester square, and he a sked whether a gentleman named E mer i c k lived there. I told him there was not, b u t that two other German gentlemen resided there— Mr. Kneip and Baron Klink. Police-constable Rhytnus—l am in the A. reserve. The prisoner Victor come to me a short time ago, and told me he had been living with a man named Emerick, who had been a soldier in the Hanoverian army, and that six months ago he had arrived from Paris. He said Emerick was always very mysterious in his manner, and hard up and that he had supported him for some time. Emerick, however, had at last told him that he was going to Berlin to assassinate the King of Prussia, and that he had brought Orsini shells from Paris for the purpose. Victor went on state that during the last four months Emerick's condition had greatly altered, that he had now fine clothes and plenty of money. He (Emerick) told him that the money had been givon to him by Baron Blom and two German gentlemen, who lived near the num. I asked him if he could show me the residence of the gentlemen referred to, and he said he could. Prisoner Victor said he could prove all he had stated and he then asked me if he should get 7 a reward. I told him if it was true he would, as the information was very valu able. I next saw him at his lodgings in Whitechapel, where he repeated his statement; and I then asked him if he could introduce me to the other men who knew Emerick, but he said he could not. I next saw Victor on the 15th, when he asked me to recommend him to the Prussian Am bassador for some clothes, as he could not prove his statement without he was respectably dressed. Ile told me he used to go to the houses of Baron Blom and the two German gentlemen very fre quently. I asked him if he could give me the Baron's address, and he said Eaton-place, which I knew was not the case. I saw the prisoner again on the 16th of January at the Prussian Embassy, and he there repeated his statement. I, accom panied Mr. Kneip to the Cafe Royal a few days ago, and whilst there I saw Victor put his head iu. I went out, when Victor said, I can now introduce you to another gentleman who knew limerick. Victor took 1113 to the London Pavilion, and on our way he told me he had found out the house where the two gentlemen lived of whom he had spoken. I asked him if he had been there, to which he re plied he had. We saw a Polish Jew at the Pavi lion, and he gave me a description of Emerick, but it differed entirely from that given by the prisoner Victor. This man said Emerick lived in Leicester square. I observed that Victor and the man we were talking with were making signs, and then I watched them more narrowly. I asked the Jew for his address, when he said a letter would find him if left at Gatti's. The next time I went to the Prussian Embassy I raw the other prisoner, Fordore, there. I asked him what he did there, and he said he had come from his friend Victor. I asked him where Victor was, to which he replied, he's come up from IVhitechapel, and that he was close by in a public-house in King-street. I said, what's he doing there, to which he said he only wrote the letter which he had just delivered. I said then you know the contents of the letter, and ho replied in the affirmative. I then deft the house in company with Fordore, taking with me a bag con taining clothes as a blind to insure Victor speaking to me. I saw Victor, and feeling that I could not ap prebend both, I made an excuse to get them both back to the Prussian Embassy, and on arriving there I told both prisoners I was a police officer, and that I should take them into custody on a charge of conspiring to defraud the Prussian A mbassador. After I had cautioned them Victor said, " That is no charge at all, and I will make some body pay for this." On Fordore I found a letter, in Victor's handwriting. Fordore said all he knew about the matter was that he took a letter from Victor, and that he did not know that there was anything wrong in it. Mr. Flower said that all that was said against the prisoner Fordore, was that he had carried the letters, which any innocent person might bay e done. The constable said he thought the prisoner was merely the tool of the other prisoner, Victor. Mr. Abrams was quite prepared to leave Fordore ,o be dealt with at once. Mr. Flower said there was nothing to implicate him seriously in the case, therefore he should order him to be discharged. Mr. Abrams —That is all the evidence I have to offer. Mr. Flower then fully committed the prisoner Victor for trial. Mr. Lewis then charged the prisoner with falsely libelling Baron Blom, and called some of the former witnesses to repeat their evidence. Baron SchmithaLs—l am secretary to the Prus sian Embassy—On the Bth of July the prisoner made the following statement to me at the Em bassy, which he afterwards signed : " I lodged here in London for upwards of six months with a certain Wilhelm Emerick, who stated himself to be an Hanoverian officer, and that he had arrived from Paris. At first this person was en tirely without means, but after awhile he received money from various sources, amongst others from a certain Hanoverian baron, who resides in Eaton place. Latterly Emerick became certainly more mysterious, and talked about a duty he had to fulfil- he must avenge George, his King, upon the King of Prussia. I drew his attention to the fact that in reality Count Bismarck was the instigator, hut he persisted in his view. Yesterday, now, he has suddenly started for Berlin, and I. have just now received a letter from him. As Emerick is a desperate man, and asserts himself to be in pos session of Orsini shells, I feel myself in duty bound to give information about his criminal inten tions. Further interest in the matter I have not, as lam not a Prussian subject. Emerick was a member of the society of " Faithful Hano verians," and lived here without work ; funds, I believe, have been placed at his disposal. (Signed) " GUSTAV VICTOR." " The Baron of whom I mentioned yesterday is, as 1 have just ascertained, the Baron Blom. I was myself with Etnerick at Baron Blom's about three weeks ago, and watched outside the house. Ido not know if Emrick had any previous interviews with Baron Blom. The interview he had three weeks ago lasted about one hour. Emerick had on that occasion doubtless received considerable assist ance from Baron Blom, as he changed, directly on leaving, a sovereign, at a public house. (Signed) GUS2AV VICTOR." Baron Otto Blom—Previous to the last Prussian war I represented the King of Hanover in this coun try at the Court of the Queen. King George o f Hanover was by force dethroned, and by some it is idleged that he has no longer a right to the Crown. I think the prisoner Las been in my house. I never had any conversation with a person named Emerick. I never gave him any money. Emerick was never inmy company at all. 'indignantly deny having had anything to dowith the allegedsupplying him with Orsini bombs or anything else. I never had any conversation with Emerick or anybody else for the assassination of the King of Prussia. I was not a member of a society called the " Faithful Hanoverians." I have never, either directly or indirectly, supplied money to any person, or class of persons, having for their object the assassination of the King of Prussia. Mr. Lewis—l have been obliged, Baron,you to ask those questions to disprove the statement of the prisoner. Baron Blom—l quite understandthteriarelasonont his your putting the questions. The prisoner was fully committed for charge also. THE IRISHMANELEGRAPH AND THE DAILY T, At the Court of Queen's Bench, this day, Mr. Campbell Foster applied on behalf of Mr. Richard Pigott, proprietor of the Irishman newspaper, pub lished in Dublin, for a rule nisi for a criminal in formation against Mr. Joseph Ellis, publisher of the Daily Telegraph, for an alleged libel which ap peared in that journal on the 11th of January last severely commenting on certain articles in the columns of the Irishman with reference to Feni anism and the conduct of the English Government in instituting criminal proceedings against Mr. Pigott. The applicant contended that the tendency of the article in question was such as to prevent his having a fair trial. _ _ The Court, after hearing the article read, and also those forming the basis of the prosecution against Mr. Pigott, unanimously refused the ap plication.
