A grand democratic manifestation was rumoured to be projected for the 3rd of December, but nothing of the kind is likely to take place. It was reported that a pro cession of democrats clad in' mourning would be organised, and that the certain interference of the military would lead to a serious disturliance. The authorities, it was confidently urged, had already taken strategic precautions against the possibility of such a demonstration. Certainly, if any procession takes place to-morrow, it will be contrary to all expectation, and cannot prove a very formidable affair. The democratic leaders all condemn the project. The Siecle hopes that the citizens of Paris will afford no such pretext for the Government again "saving society." There is, adds the Republican organ, a rendezvous which no democrat ought to fail to attend : it is the electoral urn. There the victory must be gained. "It would be very bad strategy to, play the game of our adversaries at the very moment when their repeated blunders are exciting public feeling against them." Very true : the Siz',c/e and the democratic leaders have done wisaly in condemning this proposal. Seflor Olozaga has Lad interviews both with Prince Napoleon and M. Ronher. There is still talk of divisions in the Cabinet. M. Rouher is represented as being sepa rated from his colleagues on account of his opposition to the Baudin prosecutions. Marshal de MacMahon, Governor-General of Algeria, now at CompiZgne, is said to demand a sum of £120,000 to purchase food for the natives during the winter, in order to prevent a renewal of the sufferings of last year. Algeria is an unhappy colony. Military government, and the natural inaptitude of the Frenchman for the onerous post of pioneer of the desert, have rendered the African possessions of France a complete failure. Nearly one thousand French colonists have just left the country in order to seek their fortune in the Brazils. The "admirable centralisation, envied by all Europe," has not cut a very creditable figure of late at home, but it is systematically and invariably out of joint abroad. In compliance with the intentions of the deceased Baron James de Rothschild, the Baroness and children have, in addition to the generous donations already made by them, just sent £2,000 for the hospitals of Paris. The most diverse statements of the fortune left by the great financier are published, but an account from a good quarter says that the income left to his widow is not less than £60,000 a year. Garibaldi is said to be seriously ill at Caprera. This is not the first time such an announcement has been made, nor will it by any means be without precedent should it prove false. Mazzini has been left in peace for the last few days. Nothing is known of his condition. The woman Jeanaeret, who was accused of poisoning nine people in Switzerland, has lust been tried. The case lasted several days, each separate murder being in. vestigated. The court found the murderess guilty on eight of the nine charges of poisoning. A plea of insanity was set up, but failed, as it was proved that the woman was in full possession of her faculties, and she was accordingly sentenced to twenty years' hard labour.

LATV INTELLIGENCE This Day. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. GRISSEL V. BRISTOWE. The Lord Chief Justice and Lord Chief Baron Kelly delivered judgment in this important case relative to the usage of the Stock Exchange. The action was brought to recover £BOO and inte rest, the amount of a call of £lO per share upon 80 shares in Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited), made after the sale of the shares by the plaintiff to the defendants. The case turned upon the usage of the Stock Exchange in reference to these transactions. The facts were turned into a special case and urged in the Court of Common Pleas, when the majority of the learned judges gave judgment for the plaintiff. Against that decision the defendants appealed to this court, and after hearing the arguments the Court took time to consider its judg ment. To-day his lornship delivered judgment, re versing the decision of the Court of Common Pleas, and directing the verdict to be entered for the de fendants. MARKET S-2 HlB DAY. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. The supply of beasts is not large, and mainly con sists of those left over from Monday last, and are inferior in quality. Trade is heavy, and a clearance can nect be effected. The few choice fresh beasts find pur chasers at nearly late rates. The number of sheep ex ceeds the demand. Choicest qualities make about as on Monday ; but ewes and inferior kinds continue to sell very badly. Choice calves aro still dear. COLONIAL.

Edward Dayles, a boy, residing At Larnbeth walk, said—Between half-past eight and nine o'clock last night I wa3 walki►ng along Davies street, and when passing some railings the prisoner came up and seized me round the neck and waist, and pushed me against the railings. Mr. Knox—Did he make any attempt on your pocket Witness—No: I got away and ran, and a con stable asked me what was the matter; I told the constable, who went after the prisoner, and found him in the act of treating another boy iu a similar way. Prisoner—Did 1 attempt to pick your pocket ? Witness—No. Prisoner—Don't I live near you and know you ? Witness--I never saw you before. Police -constable Alfred Hunt, 166 C, sail last night, about a quarter to 8, I saw the prisonerloitering about Davies-street, Oxford-street, and he continued there for half an hour, and then went down Davies mews and looked into a carriage and then came back to Halwood-gate. I after wards saw the pri soner put his left hand up to the witness's (Dayles) throat, as he (Hunt) was passing the railing, and tried to throw the witness down, but the witness got from Mtn and made off. I asked the witness what was the matter, and on his telling me I went after the prisoner, and saw him about 80 yards ahead across Brooke-street. Directly after a boy came along with a basket, and I saw prisoner go up to the boy, put his hand into the basket and felt about, and he then felt the boy about the waist, but the boy having an apron on the prisoner could not get at his pockets. I told the prisoner that I should take him into custody for assaulting the boys and at tempting to pick their pockets. The prisoner said, "You animal, let me go," and struggled vio lently and kicked me several times, but with the assistance of a young man I got him to the station. Mr. Knox-1N as the prisoner sober ? Constable—He was. Prisoner—No, I was drunk your worship. .1 met the boy and thought he lived near me. I had no intention of picking pockets. Constable—He has not been in work for some time, and calls himself a pugilist, and has been locked up before. Mr. Knox—l will have the prisoner's character well inquired into before I decide the case. If it turns out to have been the act of a drunken ruffian I will decide it, but if otherwise the prisoner will go for trial. Remanded. :Pm THAMES. ROBBERY.—Patrick Mahoney, an Irish labourer, aged 22 years, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with stealing a watch and chain and vari ous articles of linen and wearing apparel, the pro perty of Elizabeth Russell, of No. 15, Church-street, Blackfriars-road, The complainant said—About four months ago she was in respectable service at N o . 2, Lockwood- terrace, Guildford, and while there she made the acquaintance of the prisoner, who paid his addresses to her and was accepted as her lover. lie promised her marriage, and the bans were put up in a Protestant Church. At last he prevailed her to leave Guildford and to proceed to London, where he said they could get married by a Roman Catholic priest. She accompanied him to London, and he took an apartmentneartheWaterloo Station. He effected her ruin, and then put off the marriage day, on the ground that he had to go_ to con fession, and perform other acts of penitence and submission to his church before he could contract a marriage. He persuaded her to live with him at No. 6, John-street, Poplar. He behaved very ill to her, stole her watch and chain worth £6 10s., a gold ring, and other articles, which he pawned, and on Monday week he finally aban doned her, taking with him everything belonging to him except the clothes she stood upright in. She had recourse to the charity of a person in Church-street, Blackfriars-road, for a few nights' lodging, and sought for• thu prisoner, who was traced by the City of London police to Gun powder-alley, Shoe-lane. Last night the prosecu trix went there with Thomas Barber, a policeman of the City force, No. 429. On the prosecutrix ask ing for Patrick Mahoney she was told that no per son of that name lived there, and was turned out of the house. Barber, however, forced his way into the house, and found the prisoner in an upstairs room. He took him into custody, and.on the way to the station-house the prisoner said the young woman had no business to leave Guildford and come to London with him, and that she was as bad as him. He denied having taken her clothes and linen, but no other person could have taken them, and he was away while she was in bed and asleep on the evening of November 23. In cross-examination by the prisoner, the prose cutrix said that she did not give the prisoner leave to pawn her watch and chain. There was a converm sation between them about pawning a ring. She did pawn it herself in Grundy-street, Poplar, for is 6d to obtain food, and the prisoner stole the ticket out of her drawer and obtained 3s. 6d. more upon it without her sanction. Mr. Benson said the prosecutrix could not expect much sympathy after eloping with a bricklayer's ta bourer, of whom she knew very little. The prisoner's conduct, however was as disgraceful as it could possibly be, and it was the behaviour of a coward and a blackguard. The prisoner had seduced the girl and made her live with him, and then robbed her. The prisoner was as great a villain as ever went before a jury, and then when he was taken into custody he had the impudence to boast that she wai as bad as him, that she ought not to have left Guildford at all. Ile remanded the prisoner for a week. E STMIN STE R. OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT.—CharIes Hames, A tall young fellow, was charged with the following out rageous assault : Mr. Hedges, barrister, Lincoln's-inn, said he was on his way to his chambers, in Victoria-street, at a little after 12 last night, when he saw the defendant following a woman about, and she was endeavour ing to avoid him, but could not. As they ap proached complainant the defendant pushed the woman so violently that she fell against the window of a house, which alone prevented her going to the ground. She then addressed com plainant, entreating him to save her from further violence. lie accordingly spoke to the defendant mildly, asking him why he was ill conducting him self in this way towards the woman, upon which the defendant replied that she was his wife, and that as a consequence he had a right to use her as he liked. He then rushed towards complainant, knocked his hat off, and, repeating his blows, cut his left temple. A policeman came up and took the defendant into custody. The policeman proved that Mrs. Hodge was suffering from marks of violence, besides bleeding on the temple. • A witness said his hat must have come off, and he must have knocked his head against the wall somehow. Mr. Arnold—Knocked his own hat off first, and then ran his head against the wall to blacken his eyes ? Defendant—Yes, somehow that way. Mr. Arnold--You have committed a most dis graceful assault upon this gentleman, and I shall Commit you for two months to hard labour in the House of Correction. With reference to General Order 93, 1868, com manding officers of corps having canteens on the regimental system, have been directed to forward with the quarterly abstract of accounts to be fur nished to the Quartermaster-G-eneral, a copy of the printed list of articles sold in the canteen, with the current retail prices, which is directed iu paragraph 1,021 of the Queen's Regulations, 1868, to be posted up in a conspicuous place in every canteen. r--~~---~ ~-t-.

THEFT OF £5OO IN M4NCHES7ER. Yesterday, at the City Police Court, Charles Garwood was charged before Mr. Fowler with having, on the Bth November, stolen the sum of £5OO belonging to his employer, Mr. J. N. Sale, insurance broker, Princess-street ; and George Henry Carr was charged with being an accomplice in the theft. Mr. Jordan, who appeared for the prosecution, said that Garwood was, until lately, a confidential clerk in the employ of Mr. Sale, and Carr was his brother-iu-law. Carr had been in the habit for some time, without Mr. Sale's knowledge, of fre quenting that gentleman's place of business. On the day in question, during the employer's absence in Liverpool, Garwood received from various persons, ou his employer's account, cheques and gold amounting to £5OO, with which he absconded. It was discovered that he had sailed for America along with Car. Information was sent per At lantic cable to the Halifax (N.S.) police, and upon their landing there the prisoners were de txined until the arrival of Sergeant Torr, from Manchester, who brought them back. All that ho (Mr. Jordan) proposed to da was to call evidence upon which he could ask for a remand. Th e charge would ultimately be brought home to both prisoners. Sergeant Torr said he went to Halifax with a warrant to arrest the prisoners upon the present charge. They were given into his custody by the Halifax police. Within a week he had no doubt the evidence in support of the charge would be complete. Some bank notes found on the prisoners had been detained in Halifax, the police there pro naling to forward them to Capt. Palin, but they had not been received.—The prisoners were re manded for a week. foreign Mail Packet List. MAILS DUE.
