It may fairly be said that the ends of justice have seldom been so completely answered as in the case of the Clerken well outrage, for not only were some of the chief actors in the fatal scene captured at once, but one after another has been caught ; so that by this time it may be presumed that all, or at any rate, nearly all, the chief offenders are likely to answer for their crimes before the tribunal of jus tice. The greatest interest was excited yesterday in consequence of the two men just arrested in Glasgow being ad led to the five other pri soners already in the hands of the police. The evidence that was given showed distinctly that BARRATT was at hand when the barrel was fired, and PATRICK MULLADY, who was before charged with treason-felony, was added to the list of the chief offenders, and something transpired as to what took place at his house, which proved his col lusion with the others. O'NEILL, the other man taken at Glasgow, is also implicated, though hardly yet to the same extent. It seemed so strange that BARRATT should be found that some incredulity was felt, but there can be no doubt that it is true now, and of course the trial of all will proceed together. Eight persons in all are now arraigned on the charge of wilful murder, which is a number that has long been unknown in the annals of justice. The sooner, however, that we arrive at a fitting know ledge of the full details of this infamous conspiracy the better. The knowledge that the authorities have been enabled to baffle the manoeuvres of these conspirators and arrest them must have an effect upon those whose movements are not so daring, but who nevertheless contrive to aid and abet the ring leaders of the affair. Additional interest was also 0 , :...ca.40nel yesterday by the circumstance of the prisoner being brought lip who shot at the police on Saturday in the neigh bourhood of Bloomsbury. It appeared tlislt he was a deserter from the Royal Engineers. Ravin , given a false name and address, he was taken into custody on suspicion of being a deserter. One of the officers had a very narrow e,cape indeed, for the prisoner fired in his face while he was on the ground. A pin was in the pistol, which stopped the bullet, or the consequences would have THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 21 5 18E;8. been fatal. This prisoner was watched for a week. It is curious that this should have occurred at the time when the public are so continu ally startled by the outrages of Fenians. Mr. POLAND very truly said that the constables who apprehended CLANCY acted with great courage and determination in pursuing a man who kept firing at them, and no doubt a stop will be put to those law less practices NNhich have unhappily so much ob tained of late among desperate characters, when it is seen that the officers on duty do not hesitate to act, notwithstanding all danger and difficulty. A boy was called to give evidence, who gave some interesting accounts. It appears that BURKE and CASEY were in the habit of visiting his master, MULLANY, one of the prisoners. MuLLAtiv was a tailor, and this youth, Morris, his apprentice. Some of the details which he gave tended to throw light on this complicated affair, and particularly to incriminate BARRATT and one of the DESMONDS. A man came to MULLANY'S hou,e on the day of the explosion, who had been injured; but he does not seem to have been taken as yet, but no doubt the greatest care will be employed to take him. The prisoners are remanded until this day week, when, in all proba bility, fresh revelations of a curious nature will take place. The prisoner BARRATT made some very flippant observations, and seemed to adopt a more braggadocio style than the others. On the whole, great success has attended the efforts of those engaged in procuring the evidence, but the nature of the offence enabled many to speak positively, as it occurred in daylight in a public thoroughfare. Three men have been arrested at Deptford on the charge of being mixed up with the Fenian conspiracy. The circumstances connected with their capture are somewhat concise, but the police have obtained information which induced them to arrest four, but the remaining one contrived to escape, evidently being more prudent than his accomplices. At first some frivo lous charge was made in connection with this case, but subsequently the matter turned out to be more serious than had been anticipated. Each day's intelligence seems to bring some facts to the notice of the public. But it is satisfactory so far to know that so much vigilance is being employed, and by dint of strenuous exertions we may expect that good progress will be shortly made in this arduous attempt to put down Fenianism at once and fur ever. This mischievous cause has been too long permitted to flourish among us, and what with its insidious nature and the wide-spread character ~ ,of its machi nations, it has been very awkward to cope with it. Now, however, that it has assumed such formidable dimensions more active agencies have naturally been employed, and thus there is no reason to doubt that it will speedily meet with the fate it deserves, and the capture of so many of the leaders of the movement affords encouragement in this direction. The receipts of cotton in the United States con tinue to give painful evidence of the comparative failure of the crops southwards. The amount re ceived during last week was 80,000 bales, being a decrease of 4.000 bales as compared with the previ ous week. The exports, however, continue to bo large, as the following returns for the same week prove • • To Great' Britain 49,000 bales, to Havre 9,000, to other continental ports 16,000. The total amount of stock at the American ports is 35,000 bales. Great Britain is still by far the largest consumer of American cotton, and the mer chants and traders of the Union would find the dif ference if they could no longer rely on the demand in her markets. Happily we are no longer so exclu sively dependent upon one source of supply, and it is to be hoped that the lesson so severely taught us during the Cotton Famine will not be lightly for gotten by our manufacturers. The event has I roved how prudent were those who persisted in fostering to the utmost the exertions of cotton cultivators in other parts of the world, since the mismanagement of the Radicals has prevented the Southern States from recovering the shock of the war with as much ra pidity as might have been expected. The absence of capital, the uncertainty of tenure, the difficulties regarding labour, all put obstacles in the way of the Southern planters. The serious condition of affairs in some of the states has forced itself upon the notice of the less fanatical of Northern poli ticians. The Senate, which is usually more temperate and less extreme than the House of Representatives, has lately passed a bill exempting the cotton crop of this year from taxation. Upon this bill coining down to the House of Representatives, however, the members refused to pass it, and the utmost con cession they have made is to refer it to the Com mittee of Ways and Means. In the present state of the planters, unable to pay their labourers, scarcely able to feed their own families, without credit or capital, without security for their pro perty or hope for immediate improvement, it seems absurd to talk about extorting a heavy tax. In s ome parts of the South the crops are much better than others, but in the spirit in which the House of Representatives are legislating there is not much hope of obtaining any recognition of such distinc tions. A very different course must be adopted in Congress before the trade and commerce of the Union can regain its former prosperity. It might have been imagined that the direct interest which the traders of the North have in Southern pro sperity would have dictated from the outset a different policy, but unhappily the virtual Govern ment of the States has been, since the close of the war, in the hands of a body of men who have no thought or object beyond their own political ag grandisement. A new candidate for the Presidency has recently been put forward by some of the Democratic Con ventions in the person of Mr. PENDLETON. The West Virginia Convention has not only adopted resolutions in his favour, but has expressed its approval of his scheme for the redemption of the national debt. The Ohio and Indiana Democratic State Conventions have also passed resolutions in his support, and have endorsed the reconstruction policy of Mr. JOHNSON. The same Conventions have declared the concurrence of Democracy in the abolition of slavery, while opposing negro suffrage. The Georgia Convention has issued au address protesting against the reconstruction policy of Congress, and urging the people to unite in op posing negro suffrage. We are sorry to find that negro outrages are still reported from South Caro lina, and it will probably need considerable vigour and watchfulness on the part of the authorities to repress them and guard against more united and more dangerous outbreaks. The South Caro lina Convention, which was to meet on January 14, is not likely to help matters much, se e in g that it is composed of 55 whites and 69 negroes. Conventions will soon, however, cease to Le popular amusements with either white or black, since their members cannot get paid ! The Loui siana Convention already thinks of giving up its meetings, while in Tennessee matters are so bad that five million dollars' worth of Nashville City Bonds were lately sold in New York at 58 per cent. When things are at the worst they mend, accord ing to the old adage, and on this ground we may look for a change. The trade reports of New York for 1867 show, as far as they have yet been made up, a marked diminution. All kinds of goods for importation have fallen off as compared with the preceding year. We have said that the stock of cotton in the ports now amounts to about 350,000 bales, while at the close of 1866 it was nearly 550,000. The exports of cotton during the last four months of the year just over were 440,045 bales against 282,708 in the cor responding period of 'Gti, which accounts for the difference. The dry goods importa tion returns for 1867 are $86,263,643 as against $126,222,855 for the preceding year and $91,965,138 for 1865. The city debts of Boston and New York show a large increase, while all through the states wages had been reduced at the beginning of the year. Employment is so slack that trades' unions are powerless, and the labourers have been forced to submit. A commercial con vention has been called to meet at Boston by the Board of Trade of that city at the beginning of February. It is to consider the commercial interests of the country, and delegates from the leading cities are being chosen to represent them. The shipping interest will, it is thought be one of the prominent subjects of consideration. The ship ping trade is in a very bad state both in the States and in Quebec. The shipbuilders of Maine have recently issued an address declaring thier business to be in an alarming condition, and blaming Congress for it. They complain that they are so heavily fettered that they cannot keep up with other natiotis, and they demand that the burdens im posed by their own Government should be removed. A. demand is also made in this address that men shall be sent to Congress who better understand the real wants of the country. If the Boston Con vention can succeed in effecting so desirable a change, it will indeed have done good service. LATEST INTELL MENGE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) - ARRIVAL OF THE SIDON. QUEENSTOWN, Jan. 21. The Cunard steamship Sidon arrived here at 12.40 a.m. to-day with 71 passengers and $160,000 in specie for England. She landed 13 passengers and despatches, and proceeded for Liverpool at one a.m. All well. TIIE ITALIAN FINANCES. FLORENCE, Jan. 21. Signor Cambray Digny concluded his financial statement yesterday as follows : The total accumulated deficit at the end of 1868 should be 630 million lire instead of 820 millions in 1867. To cover these 630 millions there are three resources :—The current account at the Bank, which, however, is not 308 millions as had been stated, an issue of Treasury Bonds to the amount of 250 millions, and an advance of 100 millions from the Bank upon the security of eccle siastical property. The State is also entitled to a loan of 30 millions from the Bank. These resources are, however, partly exhausted, so that their will remain a deficit of 162 millions, and this can only be removed by a fresh issue of bonds upon the ecclesiastical property, which the Government cannot undertake according to law at a lower rate than 80 until after June next. To remove the forced currency would require 540 millions in gold. At presen t it is necessary to find the means of paying 378 millions due to the Bank ; the removal of the forced currency would follow. The Ministry proposes a gradual removal of the deficit, 78 millions of which would be covered in 18G9, and the remainder in a total period of 12 years. The entire expense to the State occasioned by the Garibaldian movement in October is estimated at 18,000,000 lire. The ecclesiastical property at present sold has realised4o,B49,ooo million lire. The Treasury has at present available the sum of 294 millions, of which about 118 millions are to be drawn from the Bank, and 66 millions in Trea sury Bonds to be placed in circulation. The receipts of the Treasury on the Ist January were 1,177,570,0 64 , and the expenditure 988,354,537 ; cash and bonds in hand, 189,215,527 lire.

FREDERICK SLIGHT. —Mr. Fredk. Slight, who till recently was secretary of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway, died at his residence in Ampthill-squaro yesterday. He entered the service of the company about 20 years ago, and was but 43 years of ago when he died. His activity and capacity for work were remarkable. A few months since he broke down mentally and physically, it is b e lieved in consequence of the anxieties attending his o fficial duties, and he never rallied from the premature decay of his powers which resulted. LIAVANNAIL—A letter from a business firm at Havannah, dated the 4th inst., received by our Southampton correspondent, says :—" We have to inform you that no cigars will go forward this month. The Spanish Government refuses to despatch the West India mail steamer duo on the 6th inst., with a clean bill of health, owing to the cholera prevailing in our city, i n consequence of which the company's agent here decided upon not taking any cargo at all. This arrangement has caused much vexation, as all the goods ready for the January boat have to be stored until next month, and, being paid for, will niako shippers lose the inte rest out of their pockets. Therefore the cigars which ought to have gone forward will not be sent till next month." lion. G. A. Tulin, Ex-Cousul General of Sweden and Norway, and of Prussia, in Genoa, writes Dcc. 16, 1865, to lion. Amos Perry, United States Consul-General, Tunis : " Dear Sir,— Accopt my thanks for this third supply of D.,vis' Pain Killer.

Principal depot, J 7, Southampton-row, 1191 born (y,c.)--(ADYL) (703RIAPONDENOE PROM PARII (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, MONDAY, Jan. 20. There seems to be no doubt that Austria and Prussia are becoming more friendly. Austria has no present cause for quarrel with the North German Confederation, and the best educated part of the subjects of the Kaiser, being Germans, prefer German alliances. Moreover, Prussia, it is said, is waiting for Baden to demand admission to the Confederation, and then, with Austria's consent, she will be ready to throw aside the Treaty of Prague without asking the opinion of France. Whether Austria would give ber consent to Prussia to cross the Maine is not clear. There are Frenchmen who say that the Maine will be Prussia's Rubicon. Meanwhile, M. Bismarck is trying to pander appearances at least agreeable to France. The official press at Berlin is writing in a strain to suggest that Prussia has given up an idea of a Russian alliance and has thrown in her lot with France, Austria, and Italy on the Eastern question. The only drawback to this good understanding which the official press pretend exists between the two Powers is, that it is supported by a million bayonets on each side. The Liberte has just announced that the Minister of War has addressed 1171 important circular to the heads of the army corps. It is to the effect that' armed force should never be brought. to the assistance of the police until an order has been received, written and signed by an officer of the peace. This document is to be kept in the barracks of the corps as a justification, if necessary, of the action of the military. With reference to the action of the police, there have been many complaints of excess of zeal leading to great rudeness in the execution of arrests. On this point the Advocate-General Genreau has just given great satisfaction by a judgment in the Imperial Court. He there decided that the agent of police is not protected by the responsibility of his chief in such a way as to allow him to use violence ; and that " it is permitted and easy to obtain justice against excesses committed even in the act of arrest." Count Goltz is said to have completely recovered from the effects of the painful operation he had to undergo. I learn by letters from Madrid that the reports of an alliance between France and Spain, offensive and de fensive (with respect to the affairs of Italy), gain in con sistency. Hence the soreness on this point of the Italian journals. M. P. JonciZ;res, a writer generally in Governmental journals, has published a brochure, in which he proposes two amendments in the press law. One is to suppress the obligation for appending the signatures of the writer to every article, and the other is to bring press offences under the jurisdiction of juries. Distressing accounts continue to be received from Algeria. A letter from Muscara states that from 25 to 30 Arabs are found dead from want in the streets and about the mosques day after day. Animals are perishing as well as men, and it is even more difficult to relieve them. When the famine is over the loss of draught animals will be felt by agriculturists with great severity. January 1868 has been so far a sad time in Paris. Anna so much real poverty our fetes seem to hang fire, our parties lack festivity. There could he no more convincing proof of the dullness of the times than this—the theatres do not pay. This in January is a fact almost without pre. cedent. The literary world is as dull as the commercial. Sardou, Dumas fils, Barri'ere are out of the way, or work ing in quiet. Ponson du Terrail is drawing out the " MisZTes de Londrcs " for the Petite Prcsse, in the interests of Fenianism ; but the whole thing is such a complete mis representation of everything English as to be simply despicable. Edmond About is gone to Egypt, at the request of the Viceroy, on some mission connected with agriculture. His impressions of Egypt will no doubt forik matter for an interesting volume. On his return he is tes write as art-critic for the Revue des Deux-Mondes. Therq, is room enough for our young men of letters, but where are they ? Mathieu's Almanac has made a lucky weather predice clon—" Squalls are to be looked for on the 19th." Whether looked for or not, they came. Chimney-stacks, flag-staffs, and window shutters suffered from the gusts which blew the greater parl, of the day. The disturbance seenil to have prevailed over Great Britain, Norway, and Russia, as well as France, while from Italy and Spain fine weather is reported. According to the _Bulletin de l'Observatoire,. the centre of the storm was in the north-west of Ireland, France and the Low Countries being in the outer circle. In a former letter I referred to the international bridge which is, some of our sanguine engineers believe, one day to unite Calais and Dover. The plan of constructior avoids the necessity of driving piles, the veritable founda tions of the bridge being the two starting points. Ido not profess to understand or explain it, but those who do, pretend that in the construction of all large bridges and viaducts it will effect a considerable saving of time and money. The French company which has taken this mode Df bridge-making inhand has already, it is said, been charged with the construction of several bridges in France. But it seems the first experiment on a large scale is to be made in England. It is stated that English agents are in Paris to treat with the company for the erection of a grand bridge 3,700 metres in length—the equivalent of 4,042 yards English —at a cost of fA„000,000 sterling. From these dimensions I suspect that the bridge across the Humber is intended. One of the events of the day is the sale of Khalil Bey's pictures, one of the finest collections in Paris. The amount realised in three days was over £25,000, but there was an evident depreciation,through the dullness of the times and the general want of money of which everybody is corn plaining. TEE SAFETY OF DR. LIViNGS2'O,YE. The Cape Argus furnishes the following particulars of the successful search after the traces of this distinguished explorer :—" The expedition left Simon's Town in tho middle of July, and in Dr. Kirk's account of the circum stances connected with the reported death of Dr. Living stone it was said that the latter, having crossed the north end of Lake Nyassa, passed through villages named Makarta, and subsecwently Matarka, Maponda, Marenga, and Maksowa. The searching party, having reached Lake Nyassa, were driven by a gale into a small bay, where they found a native, who reported to them that a white man, about eight or ten months previously, had been there. Captain Faulkner and the rest of the expedition feared at first that the news was too good to be true, and it was resolved ts endeavour to reach a point higher up, at which there wa.s an Arab crossing-place, near Mont Mombo, a point about twenty miles from the spot at which the boat was anchored. In carrying this intention into effect they fell in with a large party of native fisher men, and on communicating with them received a similar account to that which had been previously given them. These people described the • dress and appearance of the `white man,' which tallied pretty closely with tho c se of Dr. Livingstone. These men, having been shewn some surveying instruments, appeared to recognise and to understand the use of them. One of them produced a spoon, and a second a knife, which they had received as presents from Dr. Livingstone. As a further test Captain Faulkner exhibited a case of photographs, and, without any hesitation, that of Dr. Livingstone was recognised as the picture of the white man. This gave the searching party increased confidence, and they proceeded on to the crossing place. On arriving there the same story was repeated, with the addition that the white man had endeavoured to cross the lake, but fit ding all the boats were on the oppo site side, he went towards the south; and passed through the villages already named. The searching party then sailed across the lake, but, obtaining no information, made for the south. They shortly afterwards came across a large village, and here the same story was repeated. It is known that Marenga, the chief of the village of that name, was extremely civil to Livingstone, and so he was found to be to those in search of him. It appears be had ferried Dr. Livingstone across a lake forming an indenta tion in the banks of Nyassa, which he might have circled on foot at the cost of a detour. Marenga gave the searching party every information in his posSession,. and presented them with a very acceptable supply of fresh provisions. It will be remembered that it was. at this point that the Johanna men abandoned Livingstone. While Livingstone went across the marsh, the natives skirted the ma r g in, and on returning to the village reported they were being led into a hostile country, and-at once made their way for the seaboard. The last place named by Dr. Kirk, Maksowa, was two days' journey from Marengo,. The chief of this village had been driven away, but a number of his men were collected who had been .employed to convey the baggage of Dr. Livingstone twenty miles further in a north-westerly direction. -Both Captain Faulkner and Mr. Y oung regarded the information as conclusive, but, with a view of discovering the position of Maponda's settle ment, they proceeded on a little further. The village was found about a milt...from the mouth of the Shire. Maponda was away from the village on a trading expedi tion, but his mother, who was at home, informed the party that Dr. Livingstone had passed through there, and that some of his party subsequently returned. The mother of the chief further produced a . Prayer-book containing the name of one of the doctor's followers, who had been left behind.on account of lameness. The Johanna men had represented this boy, who was named Waikatanee, as having deserted. It appears that at this time the boy was absent with the chief, so that the exploring party had no opportunity of a personal interview with him. The evidence which had been obtained at so ninny different points, and from such a number of witnesses, satisfied Mr. Young that the object they had in view had been obtained, and, acting upon the instructions issued to them, they tesolved to return. There appeared not the slightest reason to doubt the substantial correctness of the informa tion they had obtained, that Livingstone had passed safely through the most dangerous portion of his journey, and had made good his advance into the interior with an appa rent intention of descending the Nile into Egypt. They accordingly descended the Shire, and in due time met with the Petrel, and r.„,urned to Simon's Town. Mr. Young and Captain Faulkner return to England by this day's steamer, and we are certain will there meet with a reception which the nature of their report and their own enterprise and courage entitle them to." LITERATURE. The White Rose. By G. J. Whyte Melville. Three Vols. Chapman and Hall. " The White Rose" we take to be the supreme flower of its author's imagination. It is, to our thinking, among all his fictions, his very happiest achievement. Like Lever's, his style has improved by practice instead of having, as happens with re gard to so many other writers, deteriorated through carelessness. The easy swing of his manner, the dash, verve, vivacity, sparkle, and gay animal spirits with which he has always hitherto written, have in no way " gone off "—will be found here just as exhilarating, as animated, and as effer vescent in this the latest outpouring of his fancy as in " Cerise," or in "Digby Grand," as in the " Gladiator," or as in " Brookes"—not Brocks of Sheffield," but—" Brookes of Bridle mere." To the readers of The Fortnightly, since that able monthly passed under the editorship of Mr. John Morley, on the retirement from the edito ial chair of its original projector, Mr. George Henry Lewes—" The White Rose" has long been familiar, and that, too, we can certainly say, from our own experience, very delightfully. The luctuating fortunes of its principal characters we have followed with an eager interest, such as we might rather have accorded to actual living and breathing contemporaries. For, the characters— Ispecially the principal characters—here grouped together in this imaginary narrative of " The White Rose," are no mere puppets, tricked out in io many fancy dresses, rouged, and powdered, and Fitted up with wires, and pulleys, and movable joints, and an ingenious complication of internal clockwork machinery. They are to us as io many people of " our own flesh and blood"—to use the phrase adopted by Mr. Glad stone—people in whose existence we fully believe, old whom we seem to have often met face to face, and with whom, in society, we are at any moment liable to renew our personal acquaintance. There are, to begin with, the hero and heroine of the tale —the " White Rose" and her most faithful but (for long) most unfortunate lover. Norah Welby-- Lfterwards Norah Vandeleur—afterwards Norah Ainslie. The hero of the book being Gerard Ainslie student, soldier, gambler, gold-digger, Iramatist, and, to crown all, towards the close of the work, a handsome, clever, wealthy man of fashion, homme and accomplished gentle man. Together with these two—Norah and Gerard —Major Whyte Melville brings us into intimate personal acquaintance, as it were, with—how many Aber admirably well delineated characters ! Fore most among these as a creation drawn from the expe riences of life--Mr. Vandeleur of Oakover. A thoroughly heartless man, we should say—a man of a hideously pitiless selfishness—a blase, case-har lened, worn, sated, sin-grained, cynical, fasti dious ;voluptuary. The only inconsistency in his lelineation, as it appears to us, is that observable in the incongruous manner of his revolting and inelo-dramatic death. If he had expired to slow music, and in a glare of blue-fire, he could hardly have breathed his last under (for him) unlikelier circumstances. Barring this, however, the whole portraiture is inimitable : Mr. Vandeleur being on the whole sui generis—having no double that we can recal to mind in the whole range of imaginative literature. Not by any means, in the same way, can we speak, as of a perfect original, of Dolly Egremont—the root idea of the fun of whose ridiculously distorted poetical quota tions one can't help tracing back to perhaps the de lightfullest comic character ever drawn by Dickens —that incomparable droll Dick S wiveller. Ludicrous though many of the misapplied verses of Dolly Egremont undoubtedly are—not one amongst them approaches such a preposterous echo from one of the poets as Dick Swiveller's—" I never nursed a dear gazelle to glad M 3 with its fond black eye, but when it came to know me well and love me, it was sure to marry a market gardener !" Dolly is droll nevertheless, and always good humoured. It is a satisfaction to know of a good fellow like Egremont that he is married before .ve have done with him, to so congenial a mate for the :nanager of the Accordion as Fanny Tregunter, whom, however, we regret to have the last sight of when she i. arrayed, not in pink—even though her tress be bridal white. As for " the Dandy," or Dandy Barton"—Granville Burton, so called because of his being a bit of a swell—only a bit of one, not the entire animal, bat in3rely a Dandy— ire never take kindly to him from the beginning o f the story down to the very end of it. On the con trary, he is distasteful to the reader—being, as he is, an insufferable coxcomb—empty-healel and hollow-hearted, and be hanged to him ! Two other iotable characters in the tale have yet to be par ticularised—both admirably well drawn—Fanny Draper, daughter of Old Grits, the miller, and her evil genius for a time, the Count Tourbillon. The latter is a masterly delineation of a certain well known genus of comely, conscience-less, life-enjoy ing Frenchmen. Altogether the story, as it is here told in these three volumes of " The White Rose," which has been unfolding, leaf by leaf, as a serial or monthly while in the pages of The Fort nightly, breathes fragrantly and refreshingly enough of the mother-wit of one of the raciest, and one of the most vivacious of the story-tellers of our time — Whyte Melville—author, already, of a whole library of bold and vigorous and thoroughly original contri butions to the imaginative literature of nowadays. STRAND THEATRE. An interesting two act serio-comic drama, by Mr. John Daly, has been produced at this theatre with marked success, a result in some measure owing to the new engagements it has been found necessary to make in order that the piece might be adequately supported. The most important additions to the company are Mr. S. Emery and Miss Nelly Moore, each of whom represents the two leading parts in the new drama. The plot of the story is soon told. A retired jolly old master mariner, called Captain Brangle, is living cosely at a pretty cottage at Falmouth, the fairy of his household being a darling granddaughter, whose education he has superintended himself. She therefore knows more about Marryatt's Code of Signals than Lindley Murray, but despite the want of learning she is happy because she has secured the affections of a fine, stout-hearted young fellow—a groom at rrefusis Hall—named Tom Parish. Both of the lovers have, in their infancy, been the inmates of the workhouse, through the desertion of their natu ral protectors, but through the love of the old grand father, during whose absence at sea Patty has been left unprotected, both are now happier placed. It turns out that Patty Brangle, however, is entitled to the Trefusis estates, and on the arrival of the messenger bearing the intelligence, Mr. Highbury Barnes, a limb of the law, the old captain and his grand-daughter leave their cottage for the hall with but little joy, especially as the party displaced is Miss Maud Meredith, a dear friend of the now new heiress. The state of Patty's position compels the breaking off of the love match with Tom Parish, and thereupon Mr. Highbury Barnes de termines to endeavour to secure Patty for himself and the fortune into the bargain. However, by some strange arrangement it turns out, that Patty is only entitled to part of the property, the other half belonging to Miss Meredith, so both girls again became happy and marry the men of their choice. The acting of Mr. Emery as the old weather-beaten tar was natural and life-like; at one time he was all affection for his darling grand daughter; at another, brave as a lion iu his efforts to succour the crew of a ship in distress. The dif ferent phases of the part were excellently developed, and the audience were far from slow in recognising the ability of the actor. Miss Nelly Moore has a very pretty little part to sustain, which she does to admiration, and, of course, elicits universal applause. Mr. D. James, as Tom Parish, throws a good deal of pathos and feeling into the part, so much so, indeed, that we hope soon to see him in the stronger part of the same description. Mr Bel ford hits off the scheming, swellish, lawyer's clerk excellently. The splendid burlesque of 44 The Caliph of Bagdad" continues highly attractive, and it deserves to be so, as it is one of the best things yet done at the merry little Strand Theatre. I L - all I LIER MAJESTY. OSBORIIE, Jan. 20. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Louise, walked in the grounds this morning. Their Royal Highnesses Prince Arthur, Prince Leopold, and Princess Beatrice also went out. THE EVSUI?RECIIO.V IN CRETE. The following letter, which has appeared in the Levant herald, is said to be written by a very com petent and unprejudiced witness : " CANEA, Jan. 1. " Yuur readers and the public generally must have so much difficulty in obtaining reliable infor mation from this part of the world that perhaps you may like to publish the following items picked up with some care on the spot : " Ili the island of Crete there are four parties ; the first I will refer to is that which is by far the most troublesome to the Turkish Government — namely, the party which insists on annexation with Greece at any price. This party, though not very numerous, is active, to a certain extent brave, and entirely unscrupulous. Its members live in the moun tains, and have established a system of guerrilla war fare ; they prevent by threats and ill-usage the peaceably-disposed from giving their adhesion to the Government; they encourage blockade-running, and they harass the Turkish army, who can never meet them in open fight. They are seldom more than 50 or 100 men of them together ; and this party is wholly buoyed up with hopes from Russia and Greece. Without the promise of aid from the former, and all but open hostility of the latter, the Cretan insurrection would soon be stamped out. A second party consists of a considerable bo ly of Cretans who,with great justice, demand concessions from the Government—concessions which I am con vinced would be granted (in fact they have already been offered) if the tranquillity of the island could secured by such a step being taken ; but this party again is much under the control of the first one. A third section consists of people who are loyal to the Government, who constantly apply for military protection; but these unfortunate people are, as it were, between two stools. When the troops are with them they devour their means of subsistence, and when they are absent the insurgents illuse them for having shown sympathy with the troops. A fourth party consists of the inhabitants of the sea port, and the extreme east of the island—mostly Mussultnans—who are contented and quiet. It is difficult to ascertain the exact number of armed in surgents, but to say 4,000 or 5,000 would, I believe, be near the mark. "And now as to the policy pursued by the Grand Vizier (who is here in person) to put a stop to this ruinous revolution. He continues up to the pre sent moment to pursue a system of conciliation. Many persons are allowed to come in from the dis turbed districts and to return to the mountains with provisions and money. A shot is rarely beard throughout the whole length and breadth of the island. Blockhouses are being constructed, between which communications will be established by movable field force. These blockhouses nearly sur round the disaffected districts. Deputations are constantly arriving from the country with offers of submission if protection be granted. Two new go vernors (Christians) have already commenced their functions in what are supposed to be disturbed districts, and report favourably—in fact, as be tween Turkey and her rebellious subjects, all seems progressing favourably. Turkey is ready and willing to yield most of the points asked from her, and all might go well, but pressure from without makes it an impossibility to put down the revolution so long as that pressure lasts. While Russian ships of war, in defiance of all law and justice, weekly bring provisions, arms, clothing, and—worse than all these—encouragement and promise of assistance, the revolution will never be put down ; while Russian ships of war embark and disembark the chiefs of the rebels under salutes from the guns of their ships, and pass in and out through the blockade without showing lights—while these things are allowed to go on, so long will Crete be in revolt, and a precedent be established in regard to foreign interference in the event Of revolution that may come home to the very door of more than ono of the great Powers. With Greece Turkey could deal single-handed easily enough ; and surely it would be better for Turkey to be at open war than in her present state. The exhaustive' policy of her great enemy is, beyond all doubt, doing most ruinous work. Aali Pasha feels all this bitterly, and has, I am told, at last protested strongly against these proceed ings. The Turkish fleet is in fair condition, but has harassing work in attending to the wants of the troops, who are now distributed about the coasts. The four ironclads are very fine ships, but the crews want drilling and discipline. The blockade is on a small scale, the ships being wanted for other work ; besides which the Turks say that all that the in surgents require is being taken in by the Russians. The French, Austrian, English, Prussian, and Italian men-of-war now entirely desist from inter ference. " P.S.---It would be well to ask some competent authority if armed merchant steamers running the blockade in Crete, or elsewhere, with the avowed intention of resisting the cruisers, are not to all intents and purposes piratical vessels. This is what the Greeks do in Crete. What would the Americans say to this ? - The fact of an armed vessel lying in any port unquestioned (if she be not a man-of-war) is unusual. This is what the Greek blockade runners do in the Piraeus and at Syra." TUE CITY MEMBERS.—We are happy to state that Mr. Iluddlestone, M.P., has returned from the Con tinent greatly improved in health, and that he has promised to be present at the Music Hall, Canterbury, on Monday, when both he and his colleague, Mr. Butler-Johnstone, will address their constituents.— Alaidstone Journal: SERIOUS THEFT OF BANK NOTES.—On Friday night Mr. John Hodgson,: manager of a cotton mill at Accrington, was robbed of a large sum of money in Salford. A woman spoke to him on Blackfriars bridge, when he was on his way to the New Bailey street Station, and he accompanied her into Salford. In a few minutes he missed a pocket-book containing £420 in bank notes and gold. Two men, who came out of Gravel-lane, are 'said to have assisted in the perpetration of the theft. FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT NRAR DUDLEY. --A gnocking accident is reported from Staffordshire. Yesterday two men, named respectively John Davis and John Spurn, were killed by a fall of coal in a pit upon the colliery of Messrs. Simon, Bradley, and Go., Tividale Hall, Tividale. A brother of John Spurn was dangerously hurt, and but slight hopes are entertained of his recovery. John Spurn's body was completely cut in two parts by the falling debris, and presented a sickening spectacle upon its arrival at the bank. Davis had bis side crushed in, and was otherwise injured. FATAL DOMESTIC QUARREL: At Blaydon, near Newcastle a family quarrel has terminated in a fatal manner. In a part of the village called the Haughs lived Peter Graham, a man fifty-four years of age, employed at Pool's Glassworks ; William Graham, a young man, his son, who is unmarried ; and Martha, the daughter, who was married, about thirteen months ago, to William Fulcher, about twenty-four years of age, who was formerly a sailor, and belonged to Wisbeach. It seems that about a quarter-past tell o'clock on Friday night William Graham and Martha, his sister, were at their brother J o h n ' s h ous e, in that locality. In the course of conversation. a dispute arose, it is alleged, as to William, who had been out of work some time, not contributing any little money that he earned by chance to p a y for his board and kalgings. The father, Peter Graham and William Fulcher came from their work, and endeavoured to make peace. Their efforts were unavailing, and the disturbance increased, Fulcher being heard, it is said , to remark that he would not see his wife struck. There was a general conflict, and in about ten minutes Fulcher fell on the floor insensible. He was taken up and placed on a chair, and he grasped his wife's hated twice, and expired. Sergeant Potter having heard of the affair, deemed it advisable to take Peter Graham, the father, and his son, Waal Graham, into custody. An external examination . o ,t the body of Fulcher showed a bruise over the righ t temporal bone. Whether that injury has arisen from a fall or from a blow remains to be hereafter deter mined. In all probability a post-mortem examination of the body will be wade.
