We are very glad to find that the threatened 'allure of the grand Volunteer display on Easter Monday is likely to be avoided, and, we may hope, turned into a complete success. The selection of Portsmouth as the scene for the annual review was regarded on all sides as most fortunate, from the opportunity which it afforded of executing new and important movements, and of rehearsing in peace some of those parts which the Volunteers might really be called upon to play in time of war. It is not likely that their services would be needed in the field, but they might be of valuable assistance in defending dockyards or fortifications, and Portsmouth is just one of those positions which an invading forca would be most anxious to secure, and which it would be most essential to us to prevent from falling into their hands. Those who intended to go to the review as spectators looked forward with unusual interest to the prospect of witnessing the manoeuvres arranged for Monday, while the Volunteers themselves were so pleased at the opportunity of trying their prowess on a new field, and so anxious to display their readiness to adapt themselves to circumstances, that the number of those who determined to be present gave rise to a serious difficulty. Great was the general disappointment and consternation when it was found that th e programme had been altered, owing to the presumed impossibility of going through the whole of it in the given time, that the grand field-day on Portsdown Hill was to be altogether abandoned, and that the whole affair was to resolve itself into a march past on Southsea common, where therein neither room nor opportunity for display. Much correspondence has been going on about this change, and for some time there seemed reason to fear that the number of divided authorities would prevent anything like a settle went. The Volunteers were themselves disgusted, and it soon became evident that if Southsea common was the only object of the day there would be no reason to apprehend too full an at tendance. The good folks of Portsmouth were of course greatly disappointed, since they had expressed so much anxiety about the Review, and had exulted over the selection of their town for the occasion. The Mayor and other leading men have exerted themselves strenuously to put matters on a right and satisfactory footing. The Mayor has been up to London to confer with the authorities, and the Town Council have undertaken to keep the roads clear, in order to facilitate matters. Happily all is now arranged satisfactorily. The War Office has decided that the field day on Portsdown Hill shall take place, and the march past on Southsea Com mon shall also be carried out, if possible, so that the old arrangements stand as before. This is good news, since the whole credit of the affair would have been spoilt, and the Easter Monday Review, instead of giving, as here tofore, a valuable stimulus to the Volunteer move ment, woull have only damaged it and brought it into ridicule. It is very important that both the prestige of the occasion and the public interest in it should be kept up, if we wish to preserve the vitality of the movement and the spirit of the force. Hitherto, in spite of sundry faults in management and minor drawbacks, both these results have been attained ; but the Review of 1868, which at first promised to add lu-tre to the event, has lately threatened to bring the whole into disrepute. The Volunteers, we are sure, will not shrink from a little additional trouble and exertion. If they do they prove themselves but carpet knights, and certainly unfit for the vicissitudes of a campaign. if some have to remain in Portsmouth all night, it will be no great grievance or hardship for men who call themselves soldiers, and no doubt they are all wil ling to run the risk of some inconvenience, in order that the affair should go off with more than custo mary éclat. A good deal may be done by the cen tral authorities if they will inquire a little more closely ato detail, was to lino tilieluie - 4i vim -caw/ fatigue and loss of time in starting. Thus, the Secre tary of the North Middlesex Rifles writes to-day to a contemporary complaining that his men have to march from Cumberland market, their place of rendezvous, to the railway station at Kensington, a waste of time and strength, when Waterloo station would be equally available. A change in a few such points, if closely looked into, would considerably lighten the burden of the day. Still we hope, in any case, if the weather be propitious, that the day on Ports down-hill will be one of the most successful of our Volunteer displays. The public will learn with the most lively satis faction that the safety of Dr. LIVINGSTONE is now placed beyond doubt. Human hopes so often prove fallacious, and the dangers of African exploration are proverbially so great, that there were compara tively few who'dared to rely with any confidence on Sir R. MuncinsoN's sanguine belief in his friend's safety. Among those who doubted, or more than doubted, if the adventurous traveller were yet alive, was no less competent a judge than Sir SAMUEL BAKER, than whom no :man knows better the dangers of the African wilds. Happily all fears are now at rest. Sir RODERICK MURCHI SON has just received a letter from Dr. KIRKE at Zanzibar, dated February 4, in which he announces the arrival of the long-looked-for Arab messenger with despatches and letters from Dr. LIVINGSTONE himself. The despatches are now on their way to England, and will before long be in the hands of the public. However interesting the information they may contain may be, it will be second to the fact which they announce of the safety of our distin guished countryman. It appears that he pro ceeded northwards at a long distance to the west of Lake Nyassa, and in course of time arrived at Lobisa, formerly a thickly-inhabited town, now almost deserted. In these parts the tra vellers suffered much from hunger, but on coming to the vicinity of Lake Tanganyika they found plenty of cattle and food. Here LIVING STONE met with the trading caravans from Zanzi bar, and delivered the letters to BUNDUKI, who has had them 12 months in his possession. Re liable information has also been received at Zanzibar of the arrival of Dr. LIVINGSTONE at Ujiji, half way along the Lake Tanganyika, where, it is satisfactory to know, provisions and stores are waiting for him. We may therefore hope yet to see the long-absent traveller among us, and his return will be doubly welcome after the protracted suspense •which Eng land has felt on his account. The last news from Prussia is, if pessible, worse than might have been expected, and will disappoint those who have been thinking that affairs were taking 1 a more prosperous turn, and that a milder spirit was animating the councils of the empire. The former IHanoverian officers who were charged with high ' treason were sentenced by the Supreme Court to ten years' imprisonment each in contumacion. It is almost incomprehensible that this style of thing should be permitted to go on at this time when pro gress has been made to so great an extent, and when freedom has advanced so much in countries hitherto weighed down and oppressed by the spirit of exclu siveness. Surely in all conszience the Berlin Government has gained enough, and more than enough, without endeavouring to carry things to an extremity like this, and to set the opinion of the world at defiance. It is all very fine to talk of high treason, and for the Supreme Court to give their judgment accordingly ; but every one must feel when they come to think on the matter that this is a mere subterfuge, and that after all there is no " treason" in the case. How can these officers be guilty of this offence to a monarch to whom they never avowed allegiance ? and how can the King of PRUSSIA and his Alinisters reconcile themselves to the notion that they are acting in accordance with truth, justice, or reason ? This persecution is most cruel, and it cannot even be accounted for, by say ing that it is called for in a politic sense, because it is evident, by this time, that the sway of Prussia in those places that have been annexed is quite secure ; and, at any rate, for the preent no one will call it in question. Is this extreme rigour intended, then, to terrify others, or as a warning to those places or provinces not yet annexed to Prussia, but which are intended hereafter to be so, and concerning which Bisst 4.RCK may even now be plotting their doom, and settling their future fate. If so, we must protest, in the name of humanity, against such a course of intolerance and oppression, and declare that those who follow it out only show the inherent weakness of their own course by per sisting in it. This is not the first time, however, and we fear it will not be the last, that there has ' been occasion to animadvert upon the policy of Prussia. that policy has some very mean points about it; and perhaps if we were called upon to define the great want of the Prussian character, we should say that it was its want of magnani mity. Generosity towards a fallen foe was i n the old heroic days of chivalry the leading principle of action, and there is no reason whatever why these more prosaic times should witness a difference in any marked degree or s triking manner. Prussia has conquered Hanover; that is a fact which no one contradict; but that she was justified in so doing is quite another affair. But since she holds supremacy no w , w h y descend to the meanness of these petty persecutions, and take pleasure in acts of oppression that can bring no strength to her rule, and, ou the contrary, are only signs of weakness ? Wo pity th e unfortunate men who are thus doomed to so sad a fate ; but we pity still more those tyrants who force such a doom upon them, and even now it is to be hoped that solve of the Powers of Europe may tike up their cause and seek to obtain a remission, or at least a mitigation of their sentence. THE ROYAL BUCKHOUNDS.—On Tuesday, the turn-out of her Majescy's staghounds was at Fulmer common, when tho field was more select than numerous. Ou being uncarted the deer went right away to Hedgerley, thence along the road to Stoke, passing in full cry through the vill ige, and by the noted publichouse known by the sign of the Dog and Pot, bearing to the right and over the country between Mr. Henry Cantrell's Baylis farm and the village of Fulham, then over ('halvey-fields, under the railway arch, and was shortly afterwards run down in Pocock's-lane by the Eton College playing fields by one of the sportsmen, who jumped from his horse and pressed it against the playing fields fence until one of the whips rode up and assisted in securing it. The hedges are get ting very blind, which renders the fencing rather danger ous. There will be only two more meets this season in that part of the country, viz., on Tuesday, at Knapp-hill, near Woking-station ; and on Easter Monday at the old favourite place, Maidenhead Thicket. Afterwards the pack will finish the season as usual at New Forest. A CLERGYMAN'S SON CONVICTED OF THEFT.— A respectably dressed youth, about 18 years of age, the son of the Vicar of Duncermick, county Wexford, was yesterday brought up at the Liverpool Police Court charged with stealing some watches from the shop of Mr. Goldstone, a jeweller in Whitechapd. The prisoner, who appeared very dejected a nd ex p resse d hi s regre t a t th e misery he should bring upon his father, aid 1 he left home in consequence of his fiery temper, intending to go to sea. When he got to Liverpool he could not get a berth, and as he had no money, he determined to steal something. He did not care how long he was imprisoned, as the dis grace he had brought on.his family was all he could think of now. He was sent to prison for two months.

The quarterly meetings of the irontnasters of this district commenced in this town this afternoon ; the attendance was larger than it has been here for several years, but the few of the buyi ng c l ass w h o were present evinced no disposition whatever to do business, and very few transactions were reported; and it was admitted on all hands th a t th e tra d e, so a e n o d h n ee e r in ne dC d iations of is as bad as it has b fa e r en as f o t r hi lo m s ont c h a s l p it a y st i , s improve ment are visible. It is to be feared th a t th e resu l t of the great meeting at Birmingham on Thursday will not disclose anything more favourable, the le mand for finished iron the make of the district being wholly inadequate to the power of production. The topic almost exclusively discussed at this meeting was in reference to the notices which have been given to the men to reduce the wages scale. It is now generally admitted that this step has been taken at the wrong time ; that, in fact, the resolu tion passed a fortnight ago ought t o h ave b een adopted in December, in all probability the men are now wne they y tions o w r o g u a l n d isi h n a g ve res y is ie ta ld n ed ce, a tl n ie d n, mo w s h t e l r ik eas ely of them will stand out for a week or two; but it is tolerably certain that ultimately they will have to yield. The difEculty on this account w ill b e sure by the absence o f un if orm i ty o f ple on the part of th e mas t ers, th a t a to cti b o e n a i n n c d r p ea r n e d c has been for many years a principal cause of em barrassment in the conduct of the iron trade of South Staffordshire. One thing is quite certain that, taking into account the price of material, the various fixed charges, and the rates of wages, it is utterly impossible to produce finished iron at a pro fit at present prices. It is in consideration of this that one or two of the first-class makers have not hesitated to declare that if the men persist in refus ing the reduced wages they will be compelled to close their works, not as against them, but to pro tect themselves from serious loss. The market for pig iron is quiet; but the make has been so greatly reduced that the depression is less severe in that branch than it is as regards finished iron. The North Staffordshire makers who were present at this meeting reported that the trade in that quarter is rather better ; they have orders in for Canada, also on account of some of the Mediter ranean markets. EXECUTION IN SHROPSHIRE — This Day. 411. - John Mapp, convicted of the murder of a girl named Catherine Lewis, at Longden, Salop, was hanged this morning. Since his condemnation he had shown no dread of the fate which awaited him, but, on the contrary, exhibited the utmost uncon cern. Till a few days ago he averred that he was innocent of the crime of w hi c h he had been found guilty. Then he admitted that he murdered the child, but said it was the result of some sudden and unaccountable impulse. Yesterday he made a full confession. He says that on Sunday night, when he went from chapel with the little girl, he had no inten tion of doing her any harm. A short distance from the gate of the field in which he murdered her he laid hold of her hand and began to pull her about, and asked her to let him go with her.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. eiRO3l OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, WEDNESDAY, Aprn 8. The Danish Minister of War, General Itaaslceff, has arrived here, and has had an interview with the Emperor. The Path papers are copying an announcement from the °finial Copenhagen journal to the effect that the Minister has no mission. According to one account he is travelling merely for his health, according to another in order to see what developments in the art of war have been made of late by France tied (he is going to London) England. Is spite et the official and semi-official pacific ausurances, glen is the gevatest possible uneasiness in the publie mind. incidents, which would otherwise be unnoticed, are now seized hold of and made to do duty as indications for or against war. There is one journal much read here, though not published in Paris, the LW pendance Bags, which► always ridicules the alarmist pre dictions so common of late. Yet even this journal, while stoutly maintaining that there will be no war, regrets that the Emperor gives se much ground for the bellicose rumours by allowing the war advocates to have such fre- Tient access to him. There can be no doubt, I think, that the great bulk of people believe that hostilities are intended, and that they are delayed merely in order that Marshal Niel may complete his preparations, and for the Marquis de Moustier to obtain allies if he can. The Journal des Thibats pub:ishes a statement to the effect that 500 Jewish families in the district of Bacou, Moldavia, have been expelled from their homes and re duced to the greatest misery. It is difficult to believe that this can have taken place just after the strong remon strances addressed by your Government and ours to the Government of the Principalities with respect to their intended law against the Jews. Should the statement prove true it will shew what an unworthy Government this is, and how little right it has to look for the assist ance of Europe against the alleged oppression of its Mohammedan rulers. Another deputy has just died—M. Henry Didier, of Ariige. There are now no fewer than five vacancies in the Corps Ldgislatif, and it is fully expected that a sixth will be caused by the elevation of M. de Geiger to the Senate. The Government has not yet made the official announcement for the new elections, and though it is allowed six weeks for doing so, the delay is causing some comment. Among the candidates is M. Gibiat, director of the Constitutionnel, a Government journal. It is sup posed that the Government will have candidates for all the seats. The commission of the Senate appointed to report on the Public Meetings Bill have determined to report against the measure, and after the Easter recess M. Manpas will recommend the Senate to send it back to the Legislative Body. This is quite a novel incident in recent parlia• mentary history, and is causing some excitement. The Etendard believes that the war in South America, so far from being ended by the forcing of Humaita, has but entered upon a third stage. By the assassination of General Flores the Emperor Pedro has lost a valuable ally, and the Etenclard (which has always supported the Para quayans) believes that the alliance will now be broken up. There are still terrible tales from Algeria. An Oran 1 3 0er mentions that two womenf being reduced to the last extremity of famine, drew lots as to which of them should first kill her child to serve for food. After they had finished that horrible supply, the mother of the murdered child insisted that the other woman should kill her child also. She refused, and the first mother then appealed to an Arab bureau, and this led to both women being arrested. From day to day the disquietude in France increases. Journalists not given to alarmist reports are beginning to acknowledge that there is too much reason for apprehen sion. The Paris correspondent of the Times, for instance, who never refers to any event until it is notorious and has been commented upon by all his colleagues, has an elabo rate argument in which the possibility of war is admitted and deprecated. He says that the French Government is oscillating between two kinds of policy, that of the past and that of the future. The policy Of the future is, Europe forming a confederation of independent States, grouped by affinities of language, race, religion, and sympathy, rivalling each other in the pacific pursuits of industry, science, arts, and social progress. The policy of the past is the policy of con quest, the transferring a whole people into soldiers, imposing on every State ruin and misery by the incessant increase of budgets, lavishing on armaments the capital accumulated by the labour of past generations, and anticipating the resources of the future. But as yet no one can tell which policy will be adopted. The Illorning Herald's corre spondent speaks of " the dim consciousness of approaching War." The Presse, a moderate paper, asserts that the maintenance of peace is hopeless. The Temps attaches great importance to the visit of the Danish War Minister to Paris, and the simultaneous announcement that the Prussian Government is pushing on the fortifications of Kid, Alsen, and Diippel. The Pass ("Journal de l'Empirc ") says that it always believed in war with Prussia, and believes in it still. The Opinion Nationale contains a long article from M. Gutroult, la menting the vacillation of the Government, and says that there is little doubt the Emperor contemplates hostilities, and that his destined enemy is Prussia. The Journal de Paris says orders have been issued from the War Office to organise and furnish the dispensaries attached to military ambulance with the requisite medicines. The Patrie, however, believes that France will not interpose in behalf of Denmark. Sir Roderick Murchison's letter to the morning papers, containing unmistakeable evidence that Dr. Livingstone is alive and well, will be read with universal satisfaction. Sir Roderick's information is contained in a letter from Dr. Kirk, dated Zanzibar, February 4, in which he announces the arrival of the long-expected Arab mes senger, bringing despatches and letters from the great traveller himself. The intelligence completely confirms the account of the route taken by Dr. Livingstone round the southern end of Lake Nyassa which was brought home by the Search Expedition. He appears to have pro ceeded northwards at a long distance to the west of the lake, and in course of time arrived at Lobisa, formerly a thickly-inhabited town, but now almost deserted. In these elevated lands, covered with humid forests and destitute of game, the party suffered much from hunger; but on approaching the southern ex tremity of Lake Tanganyika they reached Mtulca, in the Wemba country, where there was abundance of cattle and food, and where they recovered their strength. It was here that Livingstone met with the trading caravans from Zanzibar, and delivered the letters to the Arab messenger, Bunduki, who has had them twelve months in his posses sion. Trustworthy information has also been received at Zanzibar of the arrival of Livingstone at Itjiji, half way along the Lake Tanganyika, where, it is satisfactory to know, provisions, stores, and letters sent from England and Zanzibar have long been waiting for him. Sir Roderick Murchison may well be pardoned for now reminding his countrymen that he judged rightly in the belief that the whole story of Livingstone's murder was a falsehold. The enthusiastic baronet will receive an ovation at the meeting of the Royal Geographical Society I on the 27th, when Dr. Kirk's letter is to be read. More interesting, however, will be the despatches of Dr. Living stone, should they reach England in the meantime. According to the Paris corrcspcuident of the Morning Post, " a gentleman in office " has addressed a letter to " an important pers ,nage " in the French capital, which, from the sources of information at his disposal, must give a correct account of the intentions of her Majesty's Government when Parliament meets after the holidays. The miter commences by saying that a change of Government in England would not produce any modification of the foreign policy of the country, or' in any way affect the friendly relations of Grea' Britain and France. All English statesmen, it is de Glared, desire peace. The letter then goes on to say how Queen Vi , ria, the Prince of Wales, and the Duke o' Cambridge are decidedly opposed to Mr. Gladstone's scheme for abolishing the State Church in Ireland. At the last Cabinet Council it was unanimously agreed that if the Ministry were put into a minority by a vote of want of confidence Mr. Disraeli would appeal to the country. This decision was approved of by Lord Derby, who has corn. municated with the Queen since his return to town. Mr. Disraeli acts entirely in accordance with Lord Derby's views. The Conservatives regard the conduct of thr Opposition as a factious bid for power and office, aided by what is called " Mr. Gladstone's irritation." They argue that the present Parliament ought not to legislate on sc important a constitutional change as that now proposed; therefore, sooner or later, a general election must take place. The write/ makes some remarks on the future of England which are anything but flattering to our national pride. All classes of society are declared to be inferior to the men and women of the last generation. EARTHQUAKE IN JERSEY.—TiIe 1211 abit.lnfa of the Island of Jersey were alarmed on Saturday morning, between the hours of one and two o'clock, by two distinct shocks of earthquake, which followed each other in rapid succession. The sound and effect of the shock were like what would be produced by a heavy vehicle or other heavy object being dragged over rough paving stones. Many of the residents in the town of St. Helier were awakened by the noise and the peculiar sensation produced. Several got out of bed and looked into the street, expecting that the -noise was made by a passing vehicle. Articles of fur• niture were made to vibrate most distinctly in numbers of dwellings. The course of the vibration appeared to be from cast to west POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAl'. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SHIP OFFICERS IN THE HAY3IARKET.—Joshua Sinclair Cox, ship master, of No. 15, Ball's-pond row ; William Thompson, midshipman, No. 19, Adam-street, Strand; and Godfrey Beavan, mate, of Crown-court, City, were charged before Mr. Knox with behaving in a disorderly manner in the Haymarket, and Cox was further charged with being drunk. Police-constable Charles Player, 130 A reserve, said—Between one and two o'clock this morning I was on duty in the Haymarket, when I saw the prisoners, with two others not in custody—but one of whom I see in court—pushing against every one they came near, and followed by a crowd of about 100 persons, many of whom were prostitutes. There was a good deal of disturbance and shouting, and after some trouble I dispersed the crowd, and got the prisoners to go away. The prisoners went as far as " Barns's," and then got up another crowd. I again dispersed the crowd, and the prisoners then went into Tichborne street, and afterwards to Windmill-street, where Beavan hammered at some shop shutters. Cox, who was drunk, said that he was the master of a ship, and did not want to be interfered with by the police. He had seen the prisoners about the Hay market on different nights, and the Haymarket had been in a state of confusion on those nights, the person he had alluded to as being in court appearing to be the leader of it. Beavan-1 did not hammer at any shutters, bu I know who did. Player—You did, at a greengrocer's. Police-constable 147 C gave similar evidence to Player. Cox—l admit taking a glass of wine. Mr. Knox—Are you the master of a ship ? Cox —Yes. Mr. Knox—Then you ought to be ashamed of yourself, and should set the youngsters a better example. Sergeant Shillingford, 4 C —Thompson was brought to the station along with another person a few nights ago, but not detained. Mr. Knox—Cox will have to, pay 20s. or 14 days, and the others will have to find one bail in £6 each for a month. AN ACTOR CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING A CAB DRIVER.—AIfred Vivian, described as an actor, of No. 58, Farringdon-street, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting John Morley, cab-driver, badge 5,415, and also with breaking his whip of the value of ls. 6d. The complainant said that at half-past one that morning he was going along Cranborne-street, his horse walking at the time, when the pri soner wrested his whip out of his band, and broke it, and, on his asking him why he did so he gave him three or four blows in the face and on the nose. The prisoner had three or four friends with him, and they appeared to have been enjoying themselves. The complainant, in reply to Mr. Knox, said he gave the prisoner no provocation. 'I. he prisoner said that because one of his friends said something to a female, the complainant told him (prisoner) that if he would get into his cab and come along with him he would give him a good thrashing, and as the complainant got off his cab, as he thought with that intention, he gave the complainant one instead. Mr. Knox fined the prisoner 40s. or a month and ordered him to pay the damage. WESTMINSTER. A STRANGE FANCY.—George Charles Baker, a groom, was charged with wilfully demolishing a rocking-horse. John Smith, wheelwright, 19, College-place, carefully untying a handkerchief, produced an enormous brown lump of wood, exclaiming, " This is his head, it's all I've brought of him." Mr. Arnold—A fine animal seemingly. Complainant--It was ;it was a very good one till he injured it, which he did last night without any reason that I could see. Mr. Arnold—Tell me how it was. Where was done ? Complainant—The horse was on my premises. Mr. Arnold—ln your stable? Complainant—No, he was in front. I was sitting in my front parlour, and my little girl came and told me he was pulling the horse's tail, and I looked out and found him palling the horse about. I went out, but before I could get to him the mischief was done, and the horse was lying down amongst the trucks. Mr. Arnold—The horse was lying down amongst the trucks. Complainant—l let the trucks out for hire. Mr. Arnold—And the horse, tuo? Complainant—No ; but it was a very good horse. I saw him pulling it up and down. lie was reach ing a large way over into my place to do it, and then he threw it right over and broke it all to pieces. Mr. Arnold—Was it a valuable animal? Complainant—lt was worth 10s. Mr. Arnold—Can't it be mended ? Complainant—Mended, your worship, it's got three of its legs broken and its head off. (Much laughter.) Mr. Arnold—lt's as bad as the horse in Leices ter-square. Defendant said he could not account for touch ing the horse, except that he had been drinking. The fact seems that it stood upon a box, and when it was rocked rolled over. Mr. Arnold said it was a mischievous trick, and recommended compensation should be made, which the defendant agreed to. MARYLE BON E. DISGRACEFUL ANNOYANCE TO A LICENSED VICTUALLER.—Henry Anstey, a plasterer, was brought up on a warrant charged as under. Mr. Pain prosecuted. Ishmael Quinton, landlord of the Ben Jonson, Harrow-road, said on Saturday night last he charged the prisoner with being drunk and annoy ing him in his business. The prisoner, whose name was Alfred Kenry, insulted the customers as they came in, and took up their liquors and drank them. He was very abusive, and went to another house and brought back to prose cutor's house a half gallon of beer, which he and his companions drank in front of the bar. Kenry continued this conduct for two hours, when he was ejected, and struck Mr. Quinton. He was taken into custody, and sentenced to pay a fine of 305., or be imprisoned for 14 days. When Koury was taken into custody the present pri soner struck the officer about the face and gave him a black eye. He also kicked him severely about the legs, and they were much bruised. His companions took away the officer's truncheon. As the prisoner absconded a warrant was issued against him. The prisoner, when asked what he had to say, ridiculed the idea of being charged. He was sentenced to pay a fine of 405., or be im prisoned and kept to hard labour for a month for being drunk and disorderly and assaulting th e officer in the execution of his duty. Mr. Wyld, of Charing-cross, has published a map of Portsmouth and its vicinity, showing the contem plated operations of the troops on Easter Monday. It is clearly drawn, and will prove useful to the volunteers and the lublic. LOCK-OUT OF JOINERS ON THE CLYDE.---Last night the following telegram was received by the committee of the Working Men's Association in reference to the above from the secretary of the associated joiners of Scotland :—" Glasgow, Wednesday evening. The lock -out of the joiners on the Clyde, threatened by the masters, has taken place. Several men from London arrived here to day. We are informed several more leave Euston Station, London, this evening. They appear to be unaware of any lock-out being in existence here." The above lock-out has taken place consequent on a claim made by the ship joiners for increased wages. CORK, WEDNESDAY NIGHT. —The ram Defence, on leaving Bantry Bay on Monday, to join the Prince of Wales' squadron at Holyhead, grounded on the bar off Horsey Island, and remained in a critical position until the next tide, when she was got off without damage.

The Queen, accompanied by her Royal High ness Princess Louise, went out in the grounds yesterday afternoon. Her Majesty, accompanied by Princess Bea trice, drove out this morning. THE EAST LONDON DISTRESS. Yesterday a large meeting was held at Willis's rooms, St. James's, to hear an account of the East London Mission and Relief Committee, which was organised last winter very suddenly to meet the great distress in the East of London, and which in the course of a few months raised and expended nearly £20,000. Lord Henry Chohnondely occu pied the chair, and among those present were Lord Ebury, the Hon. Arthur Kiunaird, M P., Mr. Noel, and Mr. R. Baxter. The CHAIRMAN said the meeLing had been called in order that the committee might expldin what it had done, and give an account of the large sums supplied by the public during the winter months. From the balance-sheet, which had been distributed among all present, it would be seen that the -Join mittee had fed hungry men, women, and children, and had spent the largest amount of money in establishing classes whereby the poor might earn money. Not only had the committee dealt with the temporal wants of the poor, but it had also dealt with their spiritual wants. He expressed his deepest thanks for the help which had been given in money, and also for the personal help given by ladies and gentlemen who had gone to the East-end and as sisted in relieving the spiritual and temporal neces4 sities there existing. Mr. NOEL, the hon. secretary, read an interesting report, which stated that the committee was orga nized on the 4th of December last, in consequence of a report given in the press of a case of starvation. The plan of relief was that adopted during the Lancashire distress, of giving work and paying wages for that work, and the list of subscriptions received, it was thankfully acknowledged, had been given in the newspapers. It was found that the people were so destitute as to be unable to attend the classes until they were supplied with clothing. As to the meals given, 1 19,985 had been given to ragged school children, and 44,183 had been given to men and women. Though the committee had not made attendance at the religious instruction compulsory upon those who received relief, and Roman Catholics were allowed to go when prayers commenced, means had been taken to give spiritual instruction. The statement of the receipts and expenditure showed that the subscriptions had amounted to £17,375 19s. 71d. ; a "special summer fund " subscription had amounted to £2OO ; the goods made at the sewing classes had sold for £7lB 16s. 34d. ; and petty cash had been overdrawn to the amount of £1 2s. 51d. ; making a total of £13,295 18s. 4id. The expenditure side of the balance-sheet stated that wages in sewing classes had amounted to £5,530 13s. ; the materials for the sewing classes to £2,054 2s. 74d.; " feeding ragged schools " had cos t £ 1,252 3s. 71d. free meals for men and wo men " were set down at £696 19s. 2d. ; bread to the amount of £1,287 2s. 2d., coal to the amount of £1,273 6s. 6d., groceries to the sum of £1,035 7s. 61d., and meat and soup to the amount of £1,035 7s. 61d. had been distributed, and clothing, blankets, and further grants and wages, and other things, made in all a total of £16,528 2s. 'lid. Then grants bad been made to other com mittees to the amount of £350 10s. There was a balance left in-hand of £713 9s. 4d. The Hon. A. KINNAIRD, M.P., said he could add his testimony, if any were wanted, as to the reality of the distress in the east of London. There had been various causes assigned for this distress; but there was the fact of the distress, and this had to be dealt with, and he trusted that it would be found the distress would only be excep tional. He urged that it was a duty upon the part of the inhabitants of the West-end to aid the poor of the East-end, the distinction between classes be ing more and more defined by the poor occupying one end of the metropolis and the rich the other, and the responsibilities of those living in the west could not be limited to the relief they bestowed im mediately about them. Much could be done, be suggested, by the ministers of congregations at the West-end of London taking up such a task as urging the support of the sewing classes of the East end upon their flocks, and one congregation, he stated, had undertaken to keep up such a class, an example which might be followed by others, and if so followed an immense amount of misery would be saved. He dwelt upon a fact mentioned in the re port, that the committee's labours would not be car ried on much longer, and pressed the necessity there was for those who had the time and heart to assist the poor to carry on the organisation which had been thus commenced. As to the distress itself being altogether relieved, he said that much might be done by assisting the people to emigrate, and some money subscribed for a purpose for which it was not now needed remaining in his hands, he, with the sanction of others interested in the fund, had resolved to apply it to of aiding i m Poplar lsaorwe who the o f ha d persons not in received the bourhoodparish relief to emigrate to Canada. Mr. R. BAXTER proceeded to give an accoant of the manner in which distress had fallen upon the East-end. He showed that one cause was the failure of the shipbuilding trade, partly throng the cessation of the American war, and partly, it was to be feared, through the operations of the trades' unions, which forced the working men to press for a rate of wages which the manufacturer could not pay and compete with the trade in other parts of the country. Added to this failure of the shipbuilding trade was the failure of the Spittal fields' silk trade through the French treaty, and the distress from this was very great. Another great change of a trade was seen in the fact that the sugar refining which had been carried on in the east of London, which had given good wages to a large number of people, was being taken to the ports, it being found that by establishing the manufacture at the port where the raw material entered the coun try duty was saved. Then the building trade had fallen off, and the introduction of the sewing ma chine had taken away the occupation of the wretch edly paid sempstresses who lived by their needle. All these failures of work had led to a distress that was perfectly appalling ; and though it had been said that the peer-law was the proper means of deal ing with distress, he could not trust it to deal with exigencies such as this was ; and experience bad shown him that until the poor-law was enlarged so long would there be a need for the voluntary efforts of the charitable; and. at all times would there be the need for a mis s i on suc h as t hi s comm i t t ee carr ied on. He generally supported the mode which had been adopted in giving relief. Several speakers followed, and dwelt upon the necessity of giving the poor spiritual instruction, and the proceedings closed in the usual manner. A version, in French, of " King Lear," by M. Jules Lacroix, was produced at the Odeon Theatre, Paris, on Monday last. The Avenir National says that great liberties have been taken with the original, without much judgment being displayed, and intimates that the piece was somewhat wearisome from its undue length. It ap pears however to have been well received. TIIE LAST TIGER STORY.—The following tiger story has arrived from India :—Colonel Alexander Begot, accompanied by Lord Downe, wounded a tigress in the jungle near Nagode on the '2Bth of February. -Vi le an i m al took refuge in a nullab, whither they followed IL,r up, and as Colonel Begot was preparing for a second shot sho sprang upon him and seized him by the leg, knocking over Lord Downe and a shikarrio by whom they were ac companied. A Goorkah Sepoy immediately shot the tigress dead and that saved Colonel Begot's life. The colonel's wounds were not serious, and he is rapidly re covering from them. Lord Downe's clothes were torn by the tigress's claws, and he was severely bruised by laer charge.—Pall Mall Gazette. . ,_..... In to 2::), Lay, tot,."
