It is somewhat curious, after we have received some striking and important piece of news by means of the Atlantic cable to examine the intelligence brought by the succeeding mail. Political life in the United States is so rapid and eventful that ten days after suffice to change completely the aspect of affairs, to produce a crisis in the Government, or to alter the relations of parties. Thus the arrival of the Scotia, with news to Jan. 8, informs us that the Senate has 'passed a bill exempting the cotton crop of 1868 from taxation, providing for the resumption of the tax after 1868, and removing the duty upon foreign cotton for the year ending April, 1869. We know, however, by the telegram of January 15th that the House of Representatives has rejected the bill, and thus neutralised the intentions of the Senate. Thelobject of the bill was of course to relieve the Southern planters in some degree from the burdens under which they are being crushed, and to assist them in tiding over a year of great misfortune and perplexity. The crop has not half realised expectation, and its failure has pressed heavily on the planters, who, as we know, being unable to pay their negroes, are in the depths of bewilderment and poverty. The idea of extorting a heavy cotton tax from men who are unable to preserve their implements of husbandry from their unpaid and clamorous labourers appears prepos terous, but the House of Representatives refuses to recognises the real condition of the South. Theyper sist in legislating for it as for a conquered country, full of smouldering rebellion, whose people are con stantly plotting against the central authority, and are unwilling to contribute in due proportion to the national exchequer. In their view the blacks are still an oppressed people, whom it is necessary to protect by cumbrous and costly machinery from the ill-usage of the whites ; whereas, in point of fact, in many parts of the South the blacks are actually the dominant race. In pursuance of these theories, which they profess, if they do not actually believe, the House of Representatives refuses to make even a temporary concession to the necessities of the South, albeit the alarming condition of many districts is exciting apprehension and con. sternation in Northern cities. Another act on the part of the lower House of Congress, which shows the prevailing animus against the South, is an in struction to the Reconstruction Committee to in quire into the expediency of authorising the South ern States Conventions to appoint all civil officers in their respective States. Considering what materials these Conventions are - for the most part composed of such a suggestion is merely a fresh effort to degrade and harass the Southern people. We cannot sup r,osQ that the officers whom such a Convention as that of Geirgia for instance would appoint would be in accordance with the wishes of the white po pulation. The proposal, too, is directly unconsti tutional, as it vas never contemplated to appoint the officers of the States by such means. It is an innovation on the old constitutional forms, which were better guarantees for civil rights and public liberty than any of ti.c Radical improvements. Another instance in which there is a wide gap between the news of the mail and the tele gram is in respect to the changes of the military officers. The House of Representatives, according to the news of Jan. 8, bad laid upon the table the vote of thanks to General HANCOCK, and bad passed resolutions of thanks to SHERIDAN, cmsuring the PRESIDENT for removing him, and THE SUN, LONDON, SA I' URDAY EVENING, JANUARY 18, 1868. also thanking General GRANT for disapproving the removal of SHERIDAN and STANTON. Since that date, however, we know that Congress has pro ceeded to much more vigorous action, and has re instated, or attempted to reinstate STANTON in his former post, thereby contradicting its own action, since by this very vote of thailks it recognised GRANT'S authority. Of this grand political difficulty of course we learn nothing, but we find that Gen. lIANCOCK is still pursuing the same moderate and constitutional course which called forth the PRE SIDENT'S approval. lie has issued an order dis claiming arbitrary authority over civil controver sies, declaring it to be against the State laws, and not derivable from the acts of Congress. lie in forms all disputants that the administration of justice belongs to the regular courts, and forbids forcible resistance to the execution of civil pro cesses. The disturbers of the public peace and schemers against civil law and order will at least find no countenance from the commander of this district. It would have been well for all parties if other Generals had adopted General HANCOCK'S wise and forbearing policy. The Freedmen's Bureau, it is said, has authorised its agents to issue supplies to destitute planters and to take a lien on their crops for payment. The temporary assistance will no doubt be very service able, but the mortgage will be in dangerous hands. It is possible that the Freedmen's Bureau see in the difficulties of the planters an easy means for trans ferring the tenure of the land from white hands to black. We shall look with interest for further news respecting the STANTON controversy. News from Abyssinia is eagerly looked for, and the most scanty details, the most meagre scraps of information, are sought for and welcomed with avidity and ardour. So far as we can judge from the accounts received, all seems prospering in re spect to the important points of the expedition, so that there is nothing to cause anxiety concerning its success. General Sir ROBERT NAPIER and his staff left Bombay for Abyssinia on the 21st of December, and the third brigade is also being despatched, but ,he fourth has deferred its embarcation, in waiting for further directions. Owing to the ab sence of the General, Major-General GORDON has taken the command of the Bombay Army. The captives at Magdala are reported well up to the 11th of November, and the communica- Lion between them and the KING'S army is still cut off, which is so much gained. Some mistakes of an unfortunate nature appear to have been made re specting the clothing required for the expedition, and the 33d Regiment have been kept on board the ships, as they had not warm clothing to proceed ith, and a company of Sappers from England are, it is reported, in the same unsatisfactory condition. It seems strange, to say the least of it, that due precautions were not taken respecting this important point, when so much time was spent in making inquiries, and so many investigations in stituted by experienced parties. The mortality g h c a r m e as o among w e h ihorses is a g a n o o d d mulesla f i n s ow fo s rt a u t n a a o te y ly ra d t e e: piece for this unfortunate loss at the outset has been somewhat discouraging. The Egyptians seem de termined to make an unnecessary confusion in the affair ; and, in spite of the advice tendered to them by General lUEREWETHER, they persist in their intention of sending a mission to King THEODORE. This, it is apprehended, will prove some hindrance to our plans for the proclamation of the Commander-in-Chief had made things smooth hitherto. Proper precautions have been taken by General MEIZEWETLIER in respect to being surprised, and half the force is held continually under arms at night. All the European troops have been called up, as several natives were observed to be prowling about on foot. It is encouraging to hear that so active a course is being pursued ; and no doubt in this, as in many other under takings, the commencement will be found the worst part of the affair. In some re spects this expedition is new in many of its characteristics, and therefore those who start in it may expect to encounter some obatacles of a tire some nature. • Besides this, we must take into ac count that at the outset of such enterprises some misfortunes aro sure to appear, and whether these be of a smaller or greater kind they are certain to be depressing. Thus the dark side presents itself to the notice of the timid or the captious as the case may be, but at the same time it is quite impos sible by this means to estimate the true mean ing of the affair. We make no doubt that the Abyssinian Expedition will be a success, notwithstanding all that has been said about its faulty arrangement, and the little need that there was to undertake it all. As for the reports con cerning the state of the country being so unpropi tious for transit they have already vanished into thin air. While the most natural anxiety will exist as to all news received from the Expedition, there is no earthly reason to anticipate evil tidings, or to expect that this effort to rescue the unfortunate captives will_be a failure virtually or really so. The liberty of the press in France is a subject that will not be allowed to drop without some great efforts being made to improve the state of things. It was stated the other day, upon comparatively good authority, that the EMPEROR had concluded to withdraw the prosecution in deference to public opinion, but unfortunately this favourable report has not proved correct, and we hear that the proceedings against those journals which the Government has commenced were begun yesterday in a formal man ner; the case consisted in questions of a preliminary character, which were addressed to the representatives of each journal, and when these were disposed of the case was postponed until to-day. It cannot be denied that this affair has been a grave mistake, and that last year was a bad time to have begun so unpopular a prosecution, because it had witnessed some of the chief failures of the EMPEROR'S reign, and the best way to have compensated for disap pointments abroad would have been to have ren dered his rule more in accordance with the national spirit at home. It is nearly time that these harsh and arbitrary restrictions should cease, for it is very well known that there is no real freedom in the manner in which the press laws of France are framed and put into execution. It is all very fine to say that great concessions have been made ; the fact remains that the-. most stringent regulations are constantly enforced i n a manner that necessarily detracts from the exercise of impartial judgment and the expression of free opinions. M. de PERSIGNY has just published a letter addressed to the editors of the Paris newspapers concerning the bill on the public press. In this he says that there is never any danger to fear from a "free, ardent, and even pas sionate discussion ; but that the difficulty arises from defamatory attacks upon individuals." He cannot, however, coincide with the views he ex presses about the character of the bill that the Go vernment has brought in. Ile designates it a "sincerely liberal one," which it certainly is plot in the true acceptation of the term. alt the same time he declares that it is neither safe for the State nor for liberty as it is framed. Pursuing the argu meat he says that " numerous newspapers about to be issued would work upon public curiosity for their profit by publishing allkinds of scandal, which would naturally lead to strong measures on the part of the Government against the press." He concludes by saying the prosecution of the press offences ought to be included in the common law, and that the de cree of 1852, which was but a provisional one, should be abandoned. This sounds very encourag ing, but upon sober reflection what can be said but that as yet there is no indication whatever of a more liberal feeling obtaining ground in the counsels of the Emperor NAPOLEON. For the sake of the prosperity of France and the stability of the present Government, it would indeed be a great thing if the press restrictions were abolished altogether, or nearly so at any rate. While matters remain as they are now, it is idle to put any faith in the professions so earnestly made as to improvement taking place in this direction. It matters not whe ther the penalties imposed upon these journals be small or great ; it is the principle which must be considered, and the best and wisest friends of the Empire must deplore the avent which gives occa sion to its enemies to detract from its popularity, and to declare, with good show of reason on their side, that liberty is but a name iu France, while the strongholds of its security are being under mined. THE Chairman of the Midland Railway Company found his shareholders at Derby in an angry mood. The sudden call for five millions of capital startled many of them out of their proper self-p9sses sion. The consternation was not wholly without cause. Nothing in the history of railways has been more remarkable than the way in which capital accounts have expanded without any proportionate increase of revenue ; and the Midland shareholders confronted Mr. HUTCIIINSON with the fear of this before their eyes. This dreaded result, when it has occurred, has followed mostly from shareholders having placed too implicit confidence in their directors. The temperate - speech of the chairman Must have convinced the Midland shareholders that this was not their case. The Midland line has always been well managed. Its policy of extension has not been ruinous. From a comparatively un profitable undertaking it has come to be one of the best paying lines in the kingdom. This increased prosperity, we hold, is the true test of extensions. Once give shareholders confi dence in the accounts, and they need no other test. In the case of the Midland Company the givvetineet of the charge against the directors was the extra outlay required over and above the estimates for the London extension. The chairman accounted for a large part of this increase. He pointed out that extending the area of their London station, building brick arches instead of filling up the space with earth, laying down four sets of rails instead of two, and using steel instead of iron rails, had swallowed up a large portion of the increased cost. He justified this expenditure on the ground of the large increase of traffic to and from London which has taken place ; the passenger traffic having exp an d e d from R 3 2 ,800 i n 1858 t o £144,948 in 1867 ;' the goods from £60,000 in 1859 to £299,909, an increase of more than RlOO per cent. in ten years. The chairman might have added that the increase of cost over the estimates is no unusual circumstance, and most persons who have ever had occasion to employ a carpenter or a bricklayer would have confirmed his statement. The practical question before the Midland shareholders was, how far and when they should prosecute the works which have received the sanction of Parliament. The policy which the chairman enunciated, and which the meeting endorsed, was one of " postponement of all works not involving too great a sacrifice." We may doubt whether this is really a judicious policy. Neither labour nor material have been so cheap as they are now for many years, and money was never more abundant. Unless, therefore, the share holders hope to get rid of some of the works alto gether, it is a questionable economy merely to put off their construction to a future period, when they may be made at least 10 or 20 per cent. more expensive. In a word, the arguments for abando nment do not hold good for delay. Unfortunately, it is the case in this country, that while at one period works are undertaken without considering whether there be a reasonable prospect of profit or not, at other times all are alike condemned. The Midland share holders may require to be reminded that one course is as irrational and injurious as the other. LATEST INTELL LGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. ADEN, Jan. 14 (via Trieste). Her Majesty's frigate Octavia, with Sir Robert Napier and Staff on board, passed here on the Ist. Immediately upon his arrival the Commander-in- Chief proceeds to the front, although half of the forces composing the expedition had not yet arrived. All the large steamers are returning with all de spatch to Bombay for the remainder of the troops. A naval brigade is in progress of organisation, and will proceed to Senafe forthwith. The Salsette, from Annesley, arrived here on the 2d inst., and proceeded at once for Bombay. General Staveley arrived unexpectedly at An nesley, from Senafe, and ordered the 33d Regiment to land and advance the same night to the front. They were provided with Snider rifles, and disembarked at four o'clock in the morning. A rumour had been current that Colonel Merewether had met with a repulse at Senafe. At letter dated 26th December announced his departure with troops on a reconnoitring expedition. His speedy return originated the report. The chief of the Tigre tribe has become very friendly. He has offered to victual the forces, and had sent down 2,000 bullocks, which have been handed over to the commissariat. This department is now employed transporting stores from Annesley. The Bengal brigade has commenced passing. Sailing transports are returning here daily from Annesley for camels, which are much required in the plains. Mules arc still in demand. lIUNTING. ROYAL LAWN MEET AT SANDRINGIum.___The second of these brilliant field days at Sandringham took place on Wednesday last, and was very nume rously attended. The morning opened as if it was spring time, the sun shining brilliantly, and a southerly wind blowing.; Under these most exhila rating influences the suveral roads which led to th e humbleeve pony car. The every y description, Royal Park was from an early hour thronged from thesequestrianscenreoyo on the t waggonette e a l n a d w in to the of the hou se Ett carriagesaboutof front 11.30 was exceedingly gay, the hounds and com pany being assembled on this expensive open space, from whence they were entertained right royally by the Prince of Wales, a recherche luncheon being provided. Amongst the company we noticed the Prince and Princess of W a l es Major Teesdale, Hon. Mrs. Gray, Lord Mo n t ague , Willoughby Jones, Bart., Captain SCiarp‘tVaii Campbell,l n lia ß m at a e n s d on Lad s y 3,iri K r. no H l l y . a Captain La ne Fox,isher, Mr. L. W. Jarvis, and the leading families of the district. At twelve o'clock we trotted away to the royal covers , commencing at Jocelyn Wood, and p rocee di ng thence to Wolferton, afterwards trying the woods at Frankfort, out of none of which could a fox bo obtained, and, exceedingly sorry that we could not find a fox at home at the royal residence, we went off to Sturner and got one out quickly, with which a short run was obtained, but the scent was indiffe rent and the sport far from first-class, so that we eventually gave up running him. We were sorry to find that Squires was still unable to take his post as huntsman. The Prince will hunt with us ou Friday at Walton, and I hope we shall be able to show his Royal Highness a good run across a splendid country. LORD HASTINGS' PDXFIOUNDS.—Those hounds had a clipping run of forty minutes on Tuesday 7th from Stody. Also another clipper of fifty minutes from Grassonhall Wood. SO UTII DEVON (MR. W EsTLA KE's.)—Theso hounds have had good runs on T hursday an d M on d ay l as t, killing their fox on Thursday by candlelight ; but on Monday the scent died completely away, from the severe cold, and they lost after a hard run of one hour. WI EATLAND FOXHOUNDS.—These hounds had another capital day's s p or t on Tuesday last. The meet was at Stanl ey, the seat of -.- Darby, Esq., who is a staunch preserver of the " varmint." Though the night before was very boisterous, and the morning not much better, little sport was anti cipated ; but the hounds being thrown in covert soon spoke b a Stanley fox, the largest one I ever saw ; and after twc hours and ten minutes' hard riding w.ts pulled down in the open to the delight of all I rosent. Humphrey presented the brush to Miss D,r l )y, whu rode well throughout the run. A good In my came to gri e f at some o f t h e yawning fivers.

PARIS, FRIDAY, Jan. 17. The papers are giving prominence to a statement to the effect that the Minister of Finance and the Minister of State are at variance on the question of a loan. To M. Magne it appears that a loan is imperative. On the other hand, M. Rouher is persuaded that combinations are pos sible by which it may be avoided. Great alarm has been caused at the Porte St. Martin Theatre by the reception of several anonymous letters, addressed to the director, stating that the building was undermined with gunpowder, and that the train would be lighted during the performance of a piece. Treating the matter at first as a hoax, M. Fournier eventually thought it best to communicate with the police. A search being made at night, two men were found concealed in the base ment behind the warming t‘pparatus. Not being able to give an account of themselves, they were removed to the Prefecture. Many persist in thinking they are Fenians. The Pattie publishes an article on the naval fleet of France, in which it is stated that Admiral Rigault de Genouilly, during the year in which he has been at the head of the Marine Department, has given a fresh impulse to-the'work begun by his predecessors. He has adopted many excellent measures, among which may be mentioned the increase of the strength of the Atlantic and Mediter ranean squadrons. The Patrie observes that France has at present fifteen armour-plated frigates, including the Gauloise, the Valeureusl, and the Revanche, which are the latest completed. The system of numerous squadrons affords two special advantages : the first, that of extending the instruction of officers and men by habituating them to act in large masses ; the second, to test the new vessels, not only in isolated manoeuvres, but together, so as by the results observed to profit in the construction of the ships now on the stocks or to be laid down. The creation of the fighting fleet, it is argued, is not due to the military events of 1866, as some French and foreign journals have affirmed, but it was decided upon long before that epoch, and its conception arose from no accidental circumstance, but from the desire that France feels to place herself always and in every respect in the van of progress. Amongst the latest statistics published are those giving the number of merchant ships possessed by the different countries in Europe. In all there aro 100,000 ships, of a total tonnage of 12 millions, manned by 600,000 sailors. Of this number, Great Britain has 27,868 vessels, France 15,254, Italy 13,223, Russia 1,416, Holland 2,227, Greece 4,452, Turkey 2,300, Sweden 2,236, Norway 2,552, Austria 9,491, Prussia 1,443, Spain 4,859, Germany 2,818, the Duchies, 2,552, Denmark 2,740, Portugal 591. - - The Pays has taken up the cudgels for The Emperor, I mentioned some days since that his Majesty had ordered that the mattresses and bedclothes of poor people placed at the Mont-de-Piet6 should be restored to them free of charge. The Paris press has not been go enthusiastic about this considerate act as the Pays could have desired. It had hoped to find at least a few words of recognition in the Paris journals—in those especially which claim as their privilege the right of expressing the popular sentiments. Some of them mention the fact, but Lo`, ono has said " That was well done." In this spontaneous act of solicitude for the laborious classes the Siecfr only sees an occasion to call to mind all the difficulties of the moment. The Emperor comes to the help of the unfortunate ; that only proves that there are unfortunate persons. This systematic ingratitude does not astonish us. The sovereign knows it ; it can inspire him neither with regret nor with anger. Whatever the Emperor may do for Paris or the Parisians, the Opposition journals will always blame him. When they cannot find fault they will remain silent rather than render justice to what is great and good. In vain would the Emperor metamorphose the inhabitants of Paris into so many mil lionaires, the journals would only be more bitter in their revolutionary crusade, the deputies of the capital only more obstinate, and their votes and speeches only more hostile. The justice of parties must never be counted on, as that would be to expect too much from human nature. But, at least, let this new example of injustice be appreciated at its true value, and let the lesson profit for the future. LAW INTELLIGENCE-711:s Pay. COURT OF ARCHES. (Before the Right Hon.

THE CHARGE OF ROBBERY AGAINST 'A SOLDIER. —John Rollinson, a private of the 2d battalion of Grenadier Guards, charged with stealing two silver watches of the value of £B, the property of Samuel Cartwright, another private of the same battalion, was again brought before Mr. Knox. The prosecutor, a married soldier, residing at the St. George's Barracks, deposed on the last occasion to missing two silver watches, of the value of £B, from his room, and subsequently seeing one of them in the hands of a pawnbroker ; and George Kelly, assistant to Mr. George Attenborough, pawnbroker, of Fleet-street, swore positively to the prisoner having offered him the watch in pledge, and while a constable was sent for that he ran away, and that he afterwards picked him out from others at the barracks. The prisoner having denied all knowledge of the matter, and stated that he could call witnesses to prove that he was in the barracks at half-past three on the afternoon of the day in question, the hour at which the witness Kelly said he offered the watch in pledge, Mr. Knox remanded him that he might produce his witnesses. On the case being resumed, Sergeant Woolley, the prisoner's sergeant, attended, and said that the prisoner came into barracks about half-past 2on the day in question, and showed him a piece of patchwork which he had been to redeem. He saw the prisoner at work at the patchwork till a quarter to four. In answer to Mr. Knox the witness said the pri soner bore a good character. Daniel Kidney, a private of the same battalion, said that the prisoner showed him his patchwork which he had fetched from a pawnbroker's, and he saw the prisoner at work on it till about 4 o'clock. Mr. Knox said that, on testimony of the sort given before him, it would be useless to send the case to a jury, as he felt certain that no jury would convict on evidence of the kind, so he should there fore discharge the prisoner. The witness Kelly asked what he was to do with the watch. Mr. Knox said the witness bad better retain it for a short time, as he did not believe they had heard the last of the case. THAMES. ANOTHER LAVINGBURG.—TRICHS OF PAWS BROEERs.—A poor Irish woman named Duggan applied to Mr. Paget for a summons against the firm of Crossby and Sons, pawbrokers, for an of fence similar to that for which the Jew Lavinburg, of Broad-street, Ratcliff, was fined £lO on Wednes day last. The applicant went to the house of Crossby and Sous on Saturday last to pawn a a clock, on which she asked ss. The pawn broker agreed to lend her 3s. 6d. only, and as she wanted bread for her children she agreed to accept it. Three tickets were made out—one for the clock 2s. 6d., another fur the pendulum Gd, and the third for the weights Gd. more. Mr. Paget—How much money did you receive ? Mrs. Duggan— 3s. 4fd. only. One halfpenny was stopped for each ticket. Mr. Paget said the pawnbroker had no right to split up the clock into three distinct pledges. There was one transaction, and the clock was not complete without the pendulum and weights. He granted a summons against Crosby and Sons. ROBBERIES IN viu Doors.—Four men were brought up in custody before Mr. Paget charged with stealing tea and coffee in the London and St. Katherine Docks yesterday afternoon. There are vast quantities of tea and coffee in bales, bags, che,ts, and boxes always lying about the quays, warehouses, and sheds, and the temptation to steal is very great. John Burney was stopped coming out of the St. Katherine Dock with 21bs. of tea in the sleeves of an overcoat across his arm. He was sentenced to two months' imprison ment and hard labour for a similar offence in 1865. William Holmes was stopped as he was leaving the London Dock with two ounces of tea in his left hand coat sleeve, and two pounds of coffee in his stockings. Thomas Davis was detained with Vbs. of tea in his stockings, and George Win. Hunton was in possession of 41bs. of tea, which was found between his trousers and stockings and inside his stockings. The prisoners set up the stale de fence that they picked up the tea and coffee in the docks. Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoners each to two months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. .MUSICAL 111 EMS. The good folks of Hong Kong have been visited by an Italian operatic troupe. Tho season is to open with "11 Trovatore." Mdlle. Nil'son, after charming the Parisians with her voice, has now astonished them by her graceful evolu tions on the ice. Skating is becoming very fashionable in Paris. Dr. Sterndale Bennett's oratorio " The Woman of Samaria" is to be performed at the latter end of February in St. James's Hal], together with his cantata "The May Queen." It is stated that a cantatrice, said to be of rank and for tune, is about to sing at the Dejazet Theatre, Paris. She stipulates to be allowed to sing in a mask, and that no attempts shall be made to discover her name or domicile. From St. Petersburg we hear that Berlioz has received distinguished marks of appreciation; the public eagerness to hear his compositions being very marked. Among the works performed with the greatest success were his over ture the " Carnaval Remain," his caprice for violin played by Wieniaski, besides songs and dramatic fragments. The fascination which the composer Wagner has so long exercised over the young King of Bavaria has been at length broken. Some time ago, owing to the influence of the Ministerial party, the musician was banished Munich, but he still contrived to meet his royal patron by night on a lonely mountain. It is now said that his continual in ability to keep his expenditure within the limits of his in come has at length disgusted the King, and so the close friendship existing between them has been broken.— Musical Standard.

" The Railway, Banking, Mining, and Insurance Almanack for 1868" is now ready, and a more per fect commercial reference book we know not of. The trifling delay that has taken place in its publi cation this year has been fully compensated for, as the entire contents are recorded with certain com pleteness down to the 31st of December, 1867. The articles on the Railways in the United Kingdom, the Iron and Machinery Trade, Mining Industry, Insurance Transactions at Home and Abroad, the Produce and Supply of Raw Cotton, are all very elaborately written. Trade and Finance is well treated ; and the summary of the events of the year is written in a most interesting manner. In addition to the foregoing the book cou,tains a variety of mis cellaneous information useful to the merchant, the manufacturer, and the general public. (fey 'AMU eintb, HER MAJESTY. OSBORNE, Jan. 17. lfer Majesty, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses Princess Louise and Princess Bea trice, drove in the grounds yesterday afternoon, and Prince Arthur walked out, attended by Major Elphinstone. The Hon. Mary Lascelles has succeeded, as Maid of Honour in Waiting, the Hon. Emily Cathcart, who remains on a visit. CO UR T-MARTIA L ON SERG T. iLI G UIR The general court-martial appointed to try Ser geant Francis Maguire, of the 72d Highlanders, for supposed complicity with Feuianism, was concluded on Thursday last. The trial was held at the bar racks, IVeedon, whither Maguire was removed a short time since. Colonel Elrington, of the 4th Battalion Rifle Brigade, was President of the Court ; Lieutenant- Colonel Main was the Deputy-Judge-Advocate; and Major Hunter, of the 72d, conducted the pro secution. On Tuesday morning the prisoner was arraigned on four charges, viz. : " 1. For conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, for that he did on the 24th of November, 1867, in the public streets of Man chester, knowingly and willingly join in a party procession intended as a demonstration of sym pathy with a treasonable association called the Fenian Brotherhood. " 2. For conduct to the prejudice of good order aid military discipline, for that he on the day afore said in the public streets aforesaid, did counte nance and atend a meeting for party and poli tical purposes. " 3. For conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, for that ho did while on guard at the New Bailey prison, Salford, make use of language insubordinate and calculated to create alarm by saying, " If there were 50 men like me we should soon get the prisoners out,' or words to that effect. "4. For conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, for that he did on the day aforesaid and at the place aforesaid, make use of language insubordinate and calculated to create alarm by saying, 'lf there were 30 men like me I would defy the guard or a hundred men to keep them out of the prison,' or words to that effect. The prosecutor first called two Manchester police men, who deposed to the Fenian nature of the pro cession in which the prisoner was alleged to have joined. Private Arthur, of the 72d, and his wife were called, and they - deposed to seeing the prisoner ia company with Mrs. M'Hale in the procession as it moved along Bedford-street and George-street. They went up to him and advised him to go home, when he told them it was his party, and they might go to h--. Private Joseph Astley, of the 72d, was on the gaol guard at the New Bailey prison, Salford, and heard the prisoner say if he had 50 men like him self he would be able to release the prisoners who were about to be hanged. Private Joseph Tees was also on the gaol guard, and heard the prisoner say if he had 50 men as brave as himself he would rescue the Fenian prisoners in spite of the guard. Private David Ault, another soldier of that par ticular guard, heard the prisoner say if he had 30 men like himself he would defy the guard of a hundred men to keep them out of the prison. At the same time he pointed to a part of the prison wall near a railway shed where he said it would bo easy for them to gain an entrance. Private Charles Walker confirmed the evidence given in support of the third charge, and said it arose from a discussion on the Irish Republic, and kindred matters in which Sergeant Maguire a nd Privates Ascley, Tees, and Ault, with other soldiers, were engaged. Corporal Dick and Private James Forbes gave evidence respectively in support of the third and fourth charges. The Deputy Judge-Advocate reviewed the evi dence, after which the Court deliberated. The re sult will not be known until officially published. Mr. Tennyson is about to issue a "Standard" edition of his works in four library volumes. This edition will be carefully corrected by the poet, and will contain some notable additions to his published writings.

The Italia of Naples has some intelligence re specting brigandage. "F e d e l e S trongoli, " it says, " 100 given himself up a prisoner to the Syndic of San Vito; 11 he is the last r ema i n i ng member of the Macrino band. Another brigand, D omen i co B assi, has been captured tho carbineers in the commune of Castellafiume." The Law Times, in discussing the difficulties attending the trial of Burke, Casey, and Shaw at Warwick, i 5 inclined to agree with M r . J ustice Mellor, that an impar tial jury is as likely to be obtained in Warwickshire as in Middlesex. At the same time the balance of con venience is in favour of the latter county; and our legal contemporary is ther e f ore o f op i n i on that in all proba bility the trial will take place at the Old Bailey. The dispute at the Metropolitan Board of Works as to the affairs of Mr. Furness, recently a contractor with that body, has now come to an issue. It will be remembered that in the course of the inquiry which has been made certain charges were brought forward affecting the character of Air. Doulton, one of the members for Lambeth. It has been contended that the evidence taken, and all the proceedings relative to the official inquiry into the affair, should be made public, but this has been most stoutly opposed on be half of several gentlemen engaged in business relations with Mr. Furness, as a breach of confidence. The written protests of these gentlemen having been read, the solicitor was referred to, and that gentleman, after expounding the law of libel, advised the board to be careful what it published. After a long discussion, twenty-five voted against publicity, and only seven for it, and so the matter rests for the present. Thanks were expressedtn. Mr. Doulton for having done all in his power to faca l ' tale the inquiry. CHARGE OF ABUSING AN ADMIRAL—At the Wa r " wick Borough Police-court yesterday, a young ni:! 11 named William Berry, attired in livery, was placed 0 1 the dock on a charge of being abusive to his inasterl Admiral Harding. Prosecutor, who is old and veryt.a firui, and who was wheeled into court in a bath in which . he reclined while giving evidence, occupies.,! villa residence on the Coventry-road, about half a Iv" distant from Warwick. From his statements it al ) ; peared that defendant had been in his employ footman and generally to assist in the house. He ha': been repeatedly told that upon no pretence whatever was he ever to leave the premises after darkness had set in. In defiance of this order he went away front, the house on Thursday night shortly after six o'clocb).. and did not return till ten. Complainant expostt l .. lated with him upon such conduct. Defendan! became abusive, " bearded" complainant in the o bair, drawing-room, and refused to leave the premises 19 : i go to bed. He continued walking backwards an d forwards in the hall, and so conducted himself as to throw the whole household into a state of alarm: All attempts to pacify him proved unavailing, and two o'clock in the morning it w;,is decided to call 1 " a policeman to remove hint. Having no one they ,l could send into the town, they were obliged to sTgi t ) i for assistance. Mrs. Harding went upstairs, opening one of the bedroom windows, she wa ve . backwards and forwards in the air a lighted candle/ to the hope of attracting the attention of sonic on e. The cook rang an alarm bell, and he (Adnltt Harding) lay upon his bed blowing a railway whisti', which was very shrill, and could be heard a long ( 1 ,' ,5 7 r tance off. After these alarms had been kept up . . i o , about ten minutes, souse gentlemen who were piv 4 sV o in a carriage came to their help ; a policeman fetched, and the defendant removed in custody. . 11 fondant said Admiral Harding told him to leave ,0 premises, and he was only waiting for his wage,. The bench said they were sorry this was a case 11 which they could not interfere. The defendan t been guilty of.tuost disgraceful conduct, but they 1,0.. no jurisdiction to deal with him. He ought to 61 1 0 , gize to Admiral Harding for his behaviour, and f hoped this would be a caution to him. The naivie's then left the court.
