HER MAJESTY. me n A lava Le is W a 3 oats the 'that shed and LIJ froai 3 e or ablic ver i the lea (. )the r articles in the number—not necessary here to be particularised are of a very miscellaneous cha racter. The Dublin. No. 123. Burns, Oates, and Co. This is the nineteenth number of the New Series, or, in other words, of the Dublin _Redivints. As the chief organ of the Catholics of the United Kingdom, it holds its own, now, with the best of its contem poraries. It is solid, without being ponderous. It is, as a rule, perfectly frank and plain-spoken. Its purpose there is no possibility of misapprehending. The present number in ability, no less than in plain- Speaking, is above the average. The place of honour Is accorded, as is but right, to a very able and ap preciative review of the last three volumes of the Count do Montalembert's great work, " The. Monks of the West." Of that noble and illustrious author, We are charmed to see that the Dublin writes thus emphatically :-- " 'flare is a spontaneous sincerity, a chivalrous devo tion, a simple love of truth for truits's own sake, an utter unselfishness, a frank and hearty manliness about his character which compel one to feel that difference with him, however warns or even bitter it may be, can only Le difference for the moment ; and that whenever or wherever error may make itself manifest, no consideration of con sequences, no false sense of consistency, would keep him for a second on the wrong side. How often, how touch ingly has his career, cast in such difficult, and to him Peculiarly burdensome days, proved this—days in which there have been many good, but not very many great Ca tholic public men—but which history will not pronounce to have been altogether barren in that respect, seeing that Ireland gave us in them O'Connell, and France Mouta letubert." As the sufficiently important theme of the second contribution, we have a commentary upon " Arch bishop Manning on the Centenary"—in the very preamble of which we find the reviewer remarking that—" We shall not be misunderstood then, if we say that we doubt whether the Archbishop has ever published a more important production than the Pastoral before us. It is a pamphlet in deed, and not a volume ; but it contains the mate rial for many volumes. Not to speak of its other valuable contents, it comprises a most careful and well-weighed instruction, how to exhibit the Church's doctrine (1) on her own internal consti tution, and (2) on her relations with the State, in the shape most accommodated to the cir cumstances of this time. This is a task, if we luny be allowed to say so, for which the Archbishop is peculiarly fitted." Two dis tinct contributions to Hagiography are num bered among the contents of this current num ber of the Dublin, one relating to " S. Cyprian," the other to "S. Thomas, of Canterbury"—of the latter of whom, however, we have here only the first half of the biography. " Doctrinal Apostolic Letters" and " Popular Education in England" merit exa mination—the latter more particularly. " The Second Man Verified in History " is the eccen tric title of a paper which is simply the sequel of one published in the preceding number of the Review, under the title of " The First and Second Man." The political article of the num ber, the drift of which may readily be conjectured, has reference to " Rome and the Revolution." In it but small gratitude—we should not be far out if we said plainly that no gratitude at all—is evidenced towards the Emperor Napoleon 111. Not thus re ticent, however, has been Pope Pius the Ninth, Whose reference to the French Emperor, in connec tion with recent events it cannot be forgotten, was couched in language of the most elevated panegyric. It seems to us ungrateful and ungracious on the Part of the Dublin Review its referring so slightingly to the Imperial Master of M. Rouher. Clint snoi OSBORNE, Jan. 21. The Queen drove out yesterday afternoon, ac ccalpanied by Princess Christian and Princess Hen liette of Schleswig-llolstein ; and her Majesty Walked in the grounds this morning, accompanied 13 7 Princess Christian.

TRAGEDT IN MUNICH.—The Augsburg krazettesays :—" Count Chorinaki, who was arrested at lunich in consequence of the violent death of his wife, l ha a just confessed that his mistress, the Baroness Ebery -1"A Was the perpetrator of the crime. The latter, how er) a ho is in prison at Vienna, had continually denied all Part icipation in the murder, but on the declaration of her Par amour having been shown to her she confessed her The judicial inquiry is still continuing, and the husband and his mistress will shortly be brought to trial at r Munich an d Vi enna respec ti ve l y ; t h ey w ill not b e con 'routed, as th e Bavarian tribunal will not allow Count ehorinski to be removed to Vienna, and the Austrian aUth orities refuse the extradition of the Baroness Ebery heoyo 1 , C RUELTY TO PAUPERS.--At the Exeter Guild ...all on Monday, a pauper brought up for refractory con meet was said to have used violen c e t o a p o li ce - o ffi cer w h o ha d enforced his warrant by " putting on the twist." 'The W o rkhous e p or t er, w h o emp l oye d the phrase, appeared to Bard the p rocess as b o th f am ili ar an d l eg i t i mate. Every i 3ile l however, may not know what "the twist" is, or h ow t s " put o n ." ' A ccor di ng t o t h e account of the pauper h underwent the operation it consists of seizing a man C e u e wrist and with a fi rm grasp endeav our i ng t o t urn arra in its socket. Its effect, like that of " tail twist ,,,t),, employed to hasten over-driven bullocks, is fin "ladiate. The pain is so severe that the sufferer sue etrtbs to it involuntarily. It is, in fact, in the nature, and th s May not be improperly described as a partial applica ;"4 of the rac k.

From most of the country markets the reports speak of inactivity, but without further depression, and at Mark-lane to -day the general tone of the trade was rather firm than otherwise, supplies of most kinds of grain being moderate. English wheat of good quality and condition were pur chased in retail quantity at the ratesof Monday last. Damp and indifferent samples sold unevenly, and in some cases cheaply. Foreign wheats in general were well held, and for the small parcels taken off quite late rates had to be paid. The flour trade is quiet, and quotations remain without variation. Those remarks apply to both English and foreign. Malt sustains it value firmly, although but little is pass ing in at the moment. Malting barley attracts but little attention. Grinding qualities are in steady request, and firm in price. Beans and peas moved off slowly without any change in value. Oats in moderate demand at previous rates. In the floating trade there is not much change, but the tendency is firm. Linseed steady. Business done in Calcutta seed at 665. For cotton seed on the coast, £9 15s. was the last price paid.

SERIOUS•DAMAGE TO WELLS CATHEDRAL.-011 Saturday morning a violent gale of wind raged in and about Well; which has done damage to the beautiful and unrivalled west front of the cathedral, upwards of three hundredweight of the ornamental work having been blown from the northern tower of the west front. Fortunately there were no persons passing at the time, otherwise they must have been instantaneously killed. The cor ner is well known for the violence and power the wind bas round it, and is jocularly called " Kill Canon Cor ner." A GRAVE QUESTION.—The functionaries in the various Ministerial departments at Vienna are at present anxiously expecting an important decision of the Cabinet. Under the Bach Ministry to wear the full beard was pro hibited, and the interdiction still exists. The hope that it may be withdrawn is founded on the circumstance of M. Giskra, the Minister of the Interior, being the owner of a full beard of great luxuriance, and of his presumed unwil lin3ness to sacrifice it. The Rev. Charles J. Furlong, who has been for 20 years incumbent of Trinity Üburch, Bou;ogno, has re signed his appointment., • SHARE LlST.—This Day. ORDINARY tiIIAJLES AND STOCKS.

THE LONDON QUAYS' WAREHOUSE COMPANY.—ALI application was made to the Master of the Rolls on the part of certain contributories in this company, Low in course of winding up, to appoint a new liquidator. Lord Romilly's Chief Clerk had certified in Chambers that Mr. Stuart was the fittest person to act in that capacity; but it was alleged that during the winding-up proceedings grav e charges brought against the directors would have to un dergo investigation, and it was therefore very desirable that some one should act as liquidator who would be free from all suspicion of being unduly influenced. The gentle man suggested was Mr'. Cooper, whose appointment was sanctioned by the court, the costs of all persons being allowed out of the estate. BARNED'S BANKING CO3IPANT.—The case of this com pany came before Mr. Church; the Chief Clerk to the Master of the Rolls, in Chambers, on two applications— one to adjourn the call meeting for another fortnight, and the other to alter the list of contributories, and add other names to those on the register. In this case another dividend is looming in the distance. The creditors have been paid 3s. in the pound, and the call of £4O has realised a sum of money to justify another dividend, but not to the amount, it is un derstood, of the former. The Chief Clerk granted both applications, adjourning the call meeting, and altering the list. A number of " l alance orders" Lave been obtained in ease, but it is said that no one has as yet been sent to prison. When "one more unfortunate" shareholder offers fair terms the parties generally arrange without cancel , ment. It is always better to go to creditors than to stop away. NOVEL POINT IN LIQUIDATION.—The Chief Clerk of the Master of the Rolls has had before him the matter of the Monmouth and Glamorganshire Bank. This bank failed in 1851, and now after 17 years the matter came before the Chief Clerk in a novel point. Mr. M'Creeght, the London agent, applied that the contributors should receive a further return of £1 per share. The creditors had accepted a com. position of 15s. in the pound. There were some creditors who held circulation notes had not proved, and the question arose whether they were barred by the statute or whether as the winding-up order was dated in 1851, it did not keep the debt alive. It was under the old Act, and at the time.there was no certificate of debts from the master, excluding the creditor, who had not proved under the court. The Chief Clerk said it was a novel question of gome importance, and he would consider whether some action should not be taken before the creditors were ex cluded from the fund which still remained. COMMON LAW. PROBATE COURT.-Sir James Wilde has had before him the cite of Marriott v. Harriott and Harriott.—This was esuit instituted in order to test the validity of the will of a James Harriott, residing at the time of his death in Liverpool and ilanchester, and who, it was alleged by the defendant, was of unsound mind at the time it was executed. Dr. Spinks, Q.C., and Mr. Searle appeared for the plaintiff, and the defendant appeared in person. It seemed that the testator had been a long time in Africa, and returned to this country in 1862, and went to the defendant, his brother, stating that he had amassed a considerable fortune, and was possessed of several ships. The defendant resided at Feliltam, near Liverpool, and shortly after he came back he Oas taken ill at Liverpool, and defendant went to nurse him there and at Manchester. He was given to habits of drinking, and the defendant endeavoured to correct them. H,e was, however, induced, after constantly being nursed by his brother James, to leave him, and to o to live with the widow and daughter of another brother; and in July 1866 he made a will in their favour and in that of two other brothers, and left the defendantnothing. The defendant detailed the habits of the testator, and etated that his memory was entirely gone, that there had never been any quarrel between them, and that his mind had been prejudiced against the defendant by his brother Frank. The latter had impressed Upon testator's mind a belief that the defendant wished to put him into a lunatic asylum, the consequence of which was they parted, and afterwards he was induced to male this will, it was alleged, by undue influence. The defendant called members of his family to prove his devotion to his brother, and also others who could prove the state of his mind. The case is still proceeding, POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MANSION HOUSE. A VENDOR or SHAM JEWELLERY.-At the Mansion House, Peter McDermott, a respectable-looking, elderly man, who described himself as a hatter, was charged before the Lord Mayor with endeavouring to dispose t f several spurious articles of jewellery, by falsely represent. ing them to be gold. Henry Hag - get, a City police constable, stated that at about half-past four on the pre, •vious - afternoon a young man, named Arthur Baxter Howard, a hairdresser in Bermondsey, told him -that the mate of a vessel had offered to sell him a gold watch-chain and a diamond ring and scarf -pin for £2185., and that he had obtained the money, and had had a look at the articles, and thought they were good. At that time the prisoner passed, and Howard said that was the man. Witness told him that he was a " duffer," and that if he gave him into custody, he would take him to the station. This was done, and on being searched, the chain, ring, and pin, and some sham studs, were found in his possession. On a former occasion the prisoner had offered some spurious metal jewellery to Curtis, a plain-clothes officer, who took him into custody, and he was then sentenced to a month's imprisonment. The story he told was that he was mate of a ship, that the captain had died, and that he had broken open his box and taken the jewellery.—Remanded for a week. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. WHOLESALE PLUNDER OF FURNISHED LODC/NGS.—At the Middlesex Sessions, before Mr. Payne, Deputy-assistant judge, Emma Minney, 24, was indicted for stealing a sealskin jacket and other articles, value £4O, the property of Dmeille Kenlock, in a dwelling-house. A second indict ment charged her with obtaining by false pretences, from Sarah Fisher, a basket containing a gown and other ar ticles, value £lO, with intent to defraud. A third indict merit charged her with stealing a table-cover and other articles, value £7, the property of Alice Suffert. The prisoner pleaded guilty to all the indictments. In the case of Kenlock, the articles were stolen from the room of a lodger, in the house No. 11, Westmore land-place, Pimlico, and consisted of a sealskin jacket, cloaks, linen, child's clothing, and other articles, the sealskin jacket being alone valued at twenty--six guineas. This jacket was pawned by the prisoner at Messrs. Dobree and A vants, 43, Drury-lane, for £l. In the case of Mrs Fisher, the prisoner went to her house in Marchmontl street, Brunswick-square, and said she had been sent by Mrs. Young, the laundress, for the washing, as she was unable to come herself, and obtained aricles to the value of £lO. as well as the latter amount for the last week's work, which bad been left unpaid. In the case of Mrs. Wert, the robbery was committed in the same house as that upon Mrs. Kenlock, from which place the prisoner look a large numb er o f ar ti c l es , an d i n a dditi on t o that Tdfbetppeh a writing desk with, a screw-driver, and took 'T 1 sdme small articles found therein. There was no doubt she was led to a belief that this desk contained money, but in that she was disapPointed.—William Franklin, 20 E, said hs was present at the - sessions of this court in January, 1864, when the prisoner was con ticted of robbi i nk children in the street of clothes, and sentenced to be kept in penal servitude for five years. ;Ars. Howe, 'warder of the House of Correction, West. iiiinster, also proved two other convictions against the prisoner—one for nine months' and one for twelve months' iMprisopment and hard labour. The judge said every kind of punishrapit bad failed to be a sufficient warning to the prisoner, and the sentence upon her was that she be kept in penal servitude for ten years. SIR WILLIAM BODKIN. —Sir William Bodkin, the assistant judge at the Middlesex Sessions, has been pro gressing very favourably. In all probability. he will be able to attend to his duties at the Middlesex Sessions house early in the ensuing month. THE SOCIETY OF ENGINEERS.—At the annual meeting of the Society of Engineers, Mr. Latham 9.1,id he looked upeta the proposal to take the telegraphic system under the control of the Post Office al a measure of a cen tralising tendency, and therefore not to be accepted with out the most careful consideration. He repeated the assertion made that the success of the Germans in manu factures arose from their superior education. Referring to sanitary matters, he observed that a most important improvement that had yet to be looked after was sewer ventilation, as it was quite clear that the volume of water poured into a sewer always displaced an equal amount of mephitic air. This fact had been completely overlooked by the constructors of the old sewers, and sewers must be constructed with the fault remedied. Warwick Lass, entered for 30 SOT'S, was sold to Captain Reeve for 55ge, after winning a Selling Chase at Reading on Wednesday. James Grimshavf has entered into an engagement to ride for the French stable, and Count Lagrange has now the first claim on his services. A lot of Mr. Naylor's horses have arrived at E.

A DANGEROUS PRACTICE.—At the Liverpool Police- Jourt,.yesterday, Henry Hallington, quartermaster on board the African mail steamer Calabar, was charged, under the 230th section of the Merchant Shipping Act, with having smuggled a quantity of lucifer matches on board that vessel. 'The owners of the Calabar were bound, under contract with the Govern ment, not to carry anything which-would endanger the safety of the mails. -They did, however, carry gunpowder, but for this purpose, the ships were fitted up with magazines similar to a war ship. The matches in question were discovered in the forecastle, within a few inches of 40,0001 b of gunpowder. It is supposed that the very high prices seamen. obtain for matches on the coast induced the prisoner to oommit this offence. lie denied having taken the matches on board ; the contrary, however, was proved, and ho was sentenced to four months' imprisonment. PRESBYTERIANISM IN SCOTLAND.—Mr. Moncreiff, M.P., delivered a lecture to the Edinburgh Young Men's Christian Association on Monday night, in which he pointed out the general characteristics of the Presbyterian party in Scotland during the struggles for the independence of .the people in the seventeenth century, .and maintained that the Presbyterian party were not justly liable to many imputations which had been brought against them, and that the germs of our civil liberties were to be found to a large extent in the struggles of that party in Scotland in the six- , teenth and seventeenth centuries. He also defended the Scotch Covenanters and Presbyterians from the charge of intolerance, contending that their conduct contrasted favourably with that of any other party in power at that period. Mr. Moncreiff received a cordial vote of thanks for his lecture from the association. TIIE LORD LIEUTENANCY OF CHESHIRE. —The re signation by the Marquess of Westminster, K.G., of the high office of Lord Lieutenant of Cheshire, is an event which will come With a painful feeling of regret on the public mind. The same high sense of duty which has actuated the noble Marquess throughout the long: period of his tenure of office, induces him to ask to be relieved from its cares, when he feels, though no one else has perceived any indication of the fact, that advancing age may by and by make it impossible for him to continue -at the head of the county administration with the same advan tage to the public service for which his Lord Lieutenancy has hitherto been distinguished. While sensible that Lord Westminster's loss cannot be easily, if indeed at all adeqUately in all points replaced, we cannot allow our regret .for the fact to outweigh the c•msideration that •no public man has better earned a title to honourable repose. Rumour already points as the probable new Lord Lieutenant to a nobleman whose large stake in the • county, coupled with his high reputation and business habits, would make his selection a very popukrone to fillthe vacancy so much regretted. —Chester Couiant.

A FATAL LEar.---l'esterday morning a fatal acci lent haprned at the Shrub-hill Railway Station, at • ‘Vorcester, through a passenger alighting from a train ehcu in motion. It appears that on the previous afternoon a special train left Glocester for Eirming !tam, calling at Wormaer and other intervening. itations, tasking passengers' to Birmingham for the pantomime, and returning next morning. The train was a heat) , one of between twenty and thirty carriages, and on reaching Worcester was stopping at Shrub-hill Station, when a carpenter named Steed, residing at Nlerryvale,in that city, imprudently opened the door of the carriage in which he was riding, and jumped out before the train had come to a stand-still. The result was that he was twisted round and fell back upon the line, the wheels of the carriages passing over his legs and inflicting fearful injuries on other parts of his person. On the train cowing to a stop he was extricated in a fearfully mangled state, and, a stretcher having been procured, was carried at once to the Wor cester Infirmary insensible and apparently in a dying state. In fact he only lived three or four hours, when death put an end to his sufferings.

SENDING THREATENING LE2 TERS. Yesterday afternoon Elizabeth Darling, lately a do mestic in the service of Mr. Burgess, the wholesale oil and pickle merchant, 107, Strand, was placed before Mr. Flower, at the Bow-street Police-court, charged on suspicion with writing and sending a number of threatening letters to her employer. Mrs. Burgess stated that for some time past the greatest uneasiness had prevailed throughout the establish ment in consequence of letters of a most alarming de scription, souse of them threatening the burning of the house and injury to life, being found in different parts of the house. Mr. Hunt, the Superintendent of St. Martin's division of special constables, be coming aware of the circumstance, a number of men were employed to watch the pre mises night and day. From certain suspicious circumstances the prisoner's movements were watched, and at length she was questioned on cer tain statements she had made to Mrs. Burgess, all of which turned out a tissue of falsehoods. She was then accused of writing the letters, and another domestic servant then stated some other matters connected with the finding of the threatening communications that led to such a strong suspi cion against the girl Darling that she was given in cus.,ody. A witness proved the similarity of the prisoner's handwriting to the letters in question, but she most solemnly protested that she was not the person who wrote them, but she confessed to having told many falsehoods to her mistress. Mr. Flower remanded the prisoner for a week in order that her friends might be communicated with. Foreign Mail Packet List. MAILS DUE. Australia and New Zealand. via e011thIL11100II• —.attn. 19 .
