LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUAR Y 11, 1868 Fon the second time has her MAJESTY invited ner subjects to listen to the story of her life. A part of that story we have had alreitdY. With admirable frankness, the QUEEN has already told us the history of her early womanhood, her court ship, her first experience as a Queen, and of her marriage ; and has recited much of her own life as it was linked with the life of tho PltiNeE CONSORT. In that .volume and in this the QUEEN has done a great deal more to introduce us to herself than if the gates of Windsor Castle had been thrown wide open and everybody made free to enter her presence at pleasure. For the volume just published,. with that which preceded it, is very much of an autobiography, giving not merely the occurrences of a life—the outward circumstances and scenes through which the QUEEN has passed— but at the same time a free and unreserved and often a minute record of the reflections and feelings which these occasioned. The merit, in- deed, of these volumes is not so much that they were transcribed by a Royal hand, as that they photograph a Royal heart, and the great charm they possess is that each reader feels the workings of that heart to be such as those of his own and as every other heart in the world would be. They contain that touch of nature which makes the whole world kin. The book which Her MAJESTY has just given us is in every sense of the word a journal —a record inscribed day after day, by her own hand, of the events of her private life from 1818 to 1881. It is, as it professes to be, in the main an account of " Our Life in the Highlands," with a few brief notes of earlier visits to Scotland, tours in England and Ireland, and yachting excursions. The portion of the work allotted to Scotland accords with Her MAJESTY'S well-known love for her Highland home. Those who know that " land of the mountain and the- flood "—who have, like the QUEEN, been " enchanted " with the beauty of Modern Athens—paused to admire the picturesque scenery of Strathearn, rowed across the deep lochs of the West, toiled over the huge fastnesses of the Grampians, listened to the echoes in the magic chambers of Staffa, or can recal the deep solitudes of the Highlands, and enjoy, as the QUEEN did, the simplicity of the people and the solemnity of their worship, will be able with this book in hand "to do Scotland again ;" while those to whom North Britain is a terra incognita will divine the secret of Her MAJESTY'S love of it. To her the hills arc " dear, dear Highlands." She loves even their solitudes : "these were," she writes, " a quiet, a retirement, a wildness, a liberty, and a solitude that had such a charm for Us." This un feigned love of nature, and even of solitude, has in Her MAJESTY nothing of the ascetic. On the whole, Dr. JOHNSON'S preference of Cheapside to the romantic hills of Wales was far better than the excess of the opposite feeling by so much as it concerns us to love human nature more than the mere material of the world. But these feelings are not incompatible ; in Her MAJESTY they are happily blended. With the Highlands she associates the Highlanders ; you can hardly detach from the sketch of a natural beauty the references sure to be drawn in of living persons. And these arc not only great lords and ladies, but gardeners, grooms, and gillies—a Scotch fishwife, a common soldier, or a Gaelic boatman. Common, ordinary, everyday-life people take promi nent places in Her MAJESTY'S pages, and many of them will, perhaps, learn now for the first time how real and deep was the interest of the first lady of the land in their short and simple annals. To us, we confess, these incidental references are the gems of the volume that glitter on the pages just as . the small crystals of the precious metals shine from a piece of rock. We scarcely need to be told by Mr. ARTHUR HELPS, the editor, of the feeling with which Her MAJESTY regards her people, and that no one desires more than she the oneness of the nation—" that there should be no - abrupt severance of class from class, but rather a gradual blending of all classes, caused by a full community of interests, a constant inter change of good offices, and a kindly respect felt and expressed by each class to all its brethren in the great brotherhood which forms the nation." For what feeling is so likely to be associated with the genuine admiration of GOD'S works as that of the unity of GOD'S family? NAPOLEON, in dying, WAS superstitious enough to suppose that GOD had sent a comet to presage his departure —a prodigy for a prodigy. The association was not wholly unnatural ; but for those whose souls are in har mony with nature and its design, mere human distinctions fade away, as they do in this volume, before a purer light. - The editor of •the QUEEN'S " Journal" asks, What would not the historian give to have simi- tar materials within his reach when writing about the reigns of the great Queen ELIZABETH or the good Queen ANNE 7 " The query is a very natural one ; for the historian of subsequent centuries the writings of Queen VICTORIA will possess a great historical value. But they possess a value to the present generation, to the QUEEN'S subjects. The fact that she has taken the nation into her confidence, and shared with us all her joys and her sorrows, has a great moral significance. Next to the purity of her Court, few things could have a more healthy effect on the tong of society, on the bearing of its classes towards each other, than this journal of the QUEEN'S. Just as the career of one man may fire a whole nation with enthusiasm, so the example of Her 'MAJESTY, with its homeliness, her Writings, with their freedom from affectation, and her pleasures, which are greatest in those things common to us all, must tend to give a more just, and at the same time elevated, sense of human life and its objects. The reader would miss the spirit of this book who did not rise from it feeling that " a man's life consistoth not in the abundance of the things which ho possesseth." We scarcely venture to refer to one subject, however, of which the title, " Our Life," and every page of this journal, reminds us. T3almoral and the Highlands are not now to the Queen what they were. Her 14IAJzsrr had a strange misgiving in 1861 that the autumnal visit would be the last of an important character to Scotland. In 1867 she adds to a sketch a note, in capitals, referring to this journey, "IT WAS OUR LAST ONE." Of the grief which these words com memorate there is no obtrusion. How deeply it is felt we know too well, THE SUN, LONDON SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 11, 1818. The committal of Mr. PiGorr, proprietor of the Irishman, for trial yesterday, proves that the autho rities are fully determined to suppress Fenianism at its fountain head. It would be unjust as well as impolitic to punish the rank and file and allow the leaders to escape scot free. Now, although Mr. PIGOTT cannot in fairness be called a leader of the Fenian movement, there is no question that he has afforded it powerful assistance. We may acquit him of any evil intention, ry. - n - sonally, but the effect of inflammatory publica tions on the excitable temperament of Irishmen is so well known that he must, at least, be censured for an error of judgment. The offence charged against Mr. Plaorr was that he had published " certain seditious statements," including extracts fro'n American papers on Fenianism, letters from Colonel KELLY, and a leading article. The mis chievous tendency of such publications may be easily guessed. Their object would be to give vitality and dignity to the Fenian move ment. The American journals, as we know, regard it, or profess to regard, it in a very different aspect from the true one. The Irish Republic is discussed as an actual possibility, and the Fenians are spoken of with respect, or at all events with the consideration due to a party who has a chance of success and a definite purpose. " Colonel" KELLY, again, hardly deserves that his letters, no doubt full of high treason, should be published in a loyal journal. It was stated in the court that any papers publishing seditious statements were within the meaning of the law guilty of libel against the Government. The counsel for the defence argued that every newspaper had a right to publish news, and that London and Dublin papers, which published Fenian manifestoes, were just as liable to prosecution as his client. Mr. PIGOTT was admitted to bail on his own recognis antes, and will doubtless have every advantage that skill and energy can give him on his trial. Without prejudging the case we may express a hope that this affair will prove a timely warning to other owners and editors of Irish journals. It is very well to say that it is the duty of journalists to record with fidelity and exactitude the transactions of the day, but we all know how easy it is to give a bias to the simplest narration. The manner in which the first news of the Clerkenwell outrage was given to Irish readers was sufficient to indicate on which side lay the sympathies of the journalists. The ex- tracts which have been given from their editorial articles amply prove that many of them make a dan gerous use of their influence and their power. It is not enough to keep within the letter of the law, if continued prominence is given to dangerous and seditious statements, and it is no ex cuse for the conductor of a journal to argue that because he adds no comments of his own that he is doing no harm by publishing them. The mere fact of giving circulation to seditious articles, to inflammatory addresses, and to all the tissue of falsehoods respecting the English Government and the English people which are promulgated by American Fenians, is at this juncture something worse than imprudence. To foreigners who accuse us of harshness and injustice towards Ireland it may be a sufficient answer that the Irish journalists should so long have been allowed to publish their papers uninterruptedly, but the class of Irishmen who would be affected by them are too iggorant and too isolated to be able to appreciate it. It is very cer tain that in no other country in Europe would such lenity have been shown, and a generation or so back the results of their temerity and disloyalty would have been felt very quickly and very unpleasantly by the Irish journalists. No one can accuse the Irish Govern ment of acting with undue haste or excessive seve rity in regard to the press, but there is no reason that attacks should be permitted on the public autho rities in Ireland, in a time of disturbance and dis content, which would not be tolerated if made upon any private person in either Ireland or England. Fenianism, however ready for mischief, is likely to have its energies baffled for the present by the vigour and readiness or the special constables. The movement has assumed proportions which were at first never dreamt of. The people of all classes have gladly come forward to tender their services, eagerly accepting the opportunity of openly displaying their detestation of the outrages committed in the name of liberty, and at the same time of testifying their de termination to support law and order. The manifestation of so much public spirit and loyalty is of itself most valuable, but the special constables are prepared to da something more than make a mere empty display. They are ready to make personal sacrifices, and to use personal exertion whenever called upon; and a recent alarm at the Bow-street ,Police-court showed that 250 special constables of the district were ready at the briefest notice to perform their duty. The assist ance of the Volunteers and the members of orders and societies is especially useful, owing to their drill and habit of acting in concert ; but more gratifying as a testimony of the real feeling of the country is the number of working men who have come forward as staunch suppor ters of the public peace. The special con - stables' movement in 1848 proved the strongest and most defective demonstration against Chartism, and we have no doubt that it will twenty years later prove equally efficacious against the mis- chievous and unworthy conspiracy which we know as Fenianism. Te Report of the Cambridge Local Examination that has just been issued will be read with attention and interest by all who rightly estimate the import ance of female education, and who value the proofs afforded of progress in the right direction in this respect. It is well known that the establishment of University local examinations for girls has been attended with great difficulties, and that some from well-meant but mistaken notions, and others from perverseness and prejudice, have opposed them might and main. Common sense bids fair, however, to triumph in this as in other instances when the interests of so ciety are concerned, and those who will peruse the particulars of this Report will, if they are conscien tious enough to be impartial, recognise the merit of the undertaking, and retract any unfavourable opinions they have previously expressed unwittingly on the subject. The arrangements made with respect to the examinations were admirable,and as only a cer tain number of subjects was taken up each candidate had an interval of rest. The compulsory subjects were arithmetic, geography, etc. The young ladies were divided into two classes, and three competitors of the senior one were examined in Euclid. Of these it is interesting to find that the gentleman who decided on the merits of the papers sent in, who is the examiner in Euclid for the whole of England, has stated that the girls who sent in papers on the subject " seemed to be able to distinguish with far more logical acumen between the essential and formal portions of a proof than any of the boys who had entered into similar competitions." The most critical can hardly object to the mode in which these examinations are carried on, for pub licity is completely avoided, and in the University Report neither the names of the successful or the unsuccessful appear. They are represented by the numbers which aro allotted to the candidates prior to examination. We are glad to find this style of examination can .be got through so far successfully, as it affords hope for the future, and it certainly gives one a true test of the capabi lities of girls such as is not to be despised, and which those most capable of judging will duly ap preciate. It is to be hoped that this work will go on and prosper, for it is evident that both the candidates themselves, and also those connected with them, will find the benefit through all their future lives of having their minds duly cultivated in early life, of having had their faculties improved, and of being shown how in the most efficient manner they could employ those talents which have been entrusted to them by their MAKER in his service, and for the good and happiness of their fellow -creatures ; for it is cer tain that such gifts were never meant to be wasted or neglected. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, FRIDAY, Jan. 10, It is not surprising to hear that many deaths have re suited from the bitter cold that we have lately expe rienced. A postman named Francois has been discovered completely frozen in a field which he was in the habit of Crossing, near Fontenay-sur-Bois. He had all his letters and money with him untouched. On the road from Sure'snes to Nanterre a soldier belonging to the garrison at Mont Valtirien was found dead ; he had got drunk and laid down, and the cold killed him. A young man has also been discovered frozen to deat'a in a third-class Car riage at Choisy-le-Rey, the train going to Orleans. As he could not be identified the body was brought to the Morgue. The Journal de Paris mentions as a sad and extraordi nary fact that as many as a thousand poor families were unable to pay their quarter's rent when it became due a day or two since. During the last week I am told that the pawn offices of the city have been literally hesieged, numbers of applicants having to be turned away without transacting their business. From the French commercial returns for 1867 I cull the following facts :—During the first eleven months of last year the imports of goods into France exceeded by 355 millions those of the year before, and by 488 millions those of 1865 ; they amounted to a total of 2,900 millions. The increase upon cereals is 173 millions ; on raw sugar, 1 mil lion; on coffee, 4 millions ; cattle 43 millions; wool, 2 mil lions ; silk, 3 millions ; while, on the other hand, 86 mil lions less of cotton has been imported than in 1866. No great difference from the preceding year is perceived ix the import of wood, coal, and woollen textiles. But the ex ports are materially lower. Instead of 2,949 millions, as in 1866, they are only 2,729 millions in 1867. The diminu• tion is of 74 millions on textiles of all kinds, 45 millions on wines, 12 millions on brandies, 21 millions on cattle, and 124 millions on cereals. I give it as an item of rumour that M. Paulin Limayrae is to be raised to the dignity of a baron, and is to be made a Councillor of State. We have been favoured with an article in the Ddbats from the pen of Pr6vost-Paxadol which is much too good to be missed. The subject is Fenianism, in relation to which the writer says :—" If ever the fable of the lion tormented by the fly has been enacted in this world it is now, on the other side of the Channel ; and it is utterly impossible not to recall this immortal apologise when one sees England exasperated by the Fenian conspiracy. The British lion will not die of it ; it will not even cause him serious illness ; but rage is taking possession of him, and with difficulty he represses the feeling of his dignity. We all know the charming confession of a French conscript after his first engagement : I was very much afraid of being fright ened.' England for the last month has experienced a feeling somewhat akin to this. She wishes to retain her calm dignity; she will not suspend the ordinary course of justice, and shrinks from proclaiming martial law; in fact, she is afraid of shewing fear, and her bitterest feeling against the Fenians is that it is more than likely, after all, that they will succeed in putting her in a rage." The report of the abrogation of the commercial treaty between France and Mecklenburg has been denied, but it is, nevertheless, there is little doubt, perfectly true. In a few days probably the treaty will be at an end. Loss or THE AmsTEnnsm.--Yesterday the Court constituted at Leith to inquire into the atiu.se of the loss of the steamer Amsterdam of that port, which was wrecked off Long Island on the 21st of October, sentenced the master, Captain Gibson, to loss of his certificate for one year, on account of his neglect to take soundings. SUPPOSED 'MURDER.-011 Thursday the fidkmrned inquest was held respecting the death of William Hall, police sergeant, whose body was found under suspicious circumstances on the beach near Newbiggin by-the-sea, on the afternoon of the 21st u lt. Addi tional witnesses were examined, but no important evidence was obtained. The following verdict was returned : "That William Hall was found dead, on the 21st December last, on the Line Sands, but by what means he came to his death there is not sufficient evidence to show." TIIE MURDER OF LORD WIIARNCLIFFE'S GAME KEEPER.—Yesterday, before a bench of West York shire magistrates at Barnsley, Matthew Cutts, aged forty-two, stonemason, Joseph Bcardshaw, alias Beecher, thirty-two, and Jos e ph E ng li s h , t hi rty, joiner, were again examined o n a c h arge of h av i ng murdered Mr. George I . hirkh i ll, h ead gamekeeper to Lord Wharncliffe, at Piney, near Barnsley, on the lith December last. The . particula rs o f thi s case have recently been given in Tire A strong case of circumstantial evidence was adduced against the prisoners, and the whole of them were committed for trial on a charge of wilful murder at the next West Yorkshire Assizes, to be held at Leeds. They were also committed for trial on the charge of night poaching. A NEW KNIGHT. —lt gives us pleasure to state that his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, Marquis of Abercorn, with the concurrence of the Earl of Derby, Prime Minister, has, in the most handsome terms, offered the honour of knighthood to our worthy and excellent representative, Mr. Lanyon. The dignity, which will shortly be conferred, is a tribute to Mr. Lanycn's professional eminence as President of th e R oya l I nst i tute of Architects, and a recognition of his p os iti on as one of the representatives of the import an t cons ti tuency of Belfast. It is also intended as an honour to the loyal constituency he represents. :W e h eart il y congra tulate Mr. Lanyon on this mark of distinction which has been well deserved, and we trust that he may long live to enjoy it, and that further: honours are yet in store for him. We are sure it will a l so b e p l eas i ng to the public generally, not only of B e lf as t, b ut o f the County Antrim, with which he was so many years professionally connected, and th e p eop l e o f Ulster, to whom he is so well known, to hear of the advancement of a gentleman who h as b een so l ong and so honourably identified with the capital of this province both socially and profession a lly.

LABURNUM POISONING.—A correspondent has forwarded to us an extract from the Whitby Gazette, which relates a melancholy occurrence: the death of a child, six years old, from eating, or at least chewing, the bark of the laburnum tree. It is rather remarkable that so much ignorance of the poisonous properties of the com mon laburnum should prevail among the public ; for as long ago as 1845, Dr. Christison, in his classic treatise on poisons, gave a distinct and full account of the dan gerous qualities possessed by all parts of the tree ; and fatal accidents have several times since been produced by it. Of the bark (which was the fatal agent in the recent case), he says that it appears to have been well known among the peasantry of the north of Scotland as a narcotic irritant poison ; and refers to a case where it was feloniously administered with nearly fatal results. He also describes experiments on animals, in which he injected an infusion of sixty grains of the dried bark into the stomach of rabbits, when severe totanic convulsions, followed by death in a minute or two, took place. These powerful narcotic effecte aro probably only produced by a large and con centrated dose; the ingestion of such smaller quantities of the poison as children would be apt to got by chewing a seed or two, or by gnawing the bark of the young twigs cut off the tree in pruning it, would bo likely to produce death under symptoms of irritation of the stomach and bowels, with sickness, fainting, and collapse in the course of a few hours. Such was the case in the recent instance, which occurred at Bogbole, in Yorkshire. The active principle, as far as regards the more powerful narcotic effects of laburnum, ap pears to be a brownish yellow neutral extract, discovered by Chevallier and Lassaigne in the seeds, and which they named cytisin. As for the treatment of laburnum poisOning, we suppose that no rational means beyond the prompt use of the stomach-pump, and the administration of diffusible stimulants, can well be de vised. The attention of the public ought to be directed to the necessity of stringent care being taken that children should not be allowed to tamper with any part of the laburnum tree. It is most dangerous for them to put either the flowers, the seeds, or the twigs into their mouths, all parts of the tree being highly poisonou...9 o -- ~. The Lancet. LATEST INTELL MENCE.

Frost has again stopped all the fun since Tues day, the last day of the old year. On that day Mr. Tailby met at Withcot.e Hall, or rather his hounds did, for the popular and energetic master is at pre sent laid up, from a fall at the Twyford Brook on Christmas-eve. His horse struck him in the face, and hurt him severely. The hounds found in Owston Wood, and had a day in the woods, with no prominent feature to chronicle, not even the death of a fox. The hounds never came to the Bel voir fixture on the following day, and indeed it would have been out of the question to hunt. Since then the Donington Steeplechases have had to be postponed on account of the frost; but if gentle men will have race meetings, even cross-country ones, in January, they must be prepared for an occasional contretemps of this sort. The frosts this season are particularly disagreeable ; not real, hard, seasonable affdirs, that send off at once for a fortnight's shooting, or the inspection of all the pantomimes, but catching things, always pretend ing to be " going," and then feebly returning, with just enough energy to stop hunting. Christmas is well over, and we are fairly launched on the New Year. Half the season is gone, with nothing to show for it in the way of sport. Christmas really is degenerating into a bore ; only good to mark the fact that another fugacious year has slipped away. It used to be a jolly time some years ago. The Christmas holidays were something to look forward to, and no mistake, in the days when your corres pondent travelled homewards, more than half frozen, on the top of a coach. But it has since occurred to him to wonder whether Christmas brought, even in those days, such fun to " grown-up people." A ball is a ball, whatever be the time of year, but round games, and snap-dragon, are not calzulated for the amusement of persons of mature age. The mistletoe, with its privileges, as described in ac counts of Christmas in the olden time, sounds like a sport which might interest people whose growing days are over ; but your correspondent is free to confess that he has never seen this plant, nor the sport it was supposed to occasion, in what is called " society." And, barring such condonation of im propriety, which just might be, on occasion, amus ing, what fun is there at Christmas ? Who was for a Yule log? Who is iu better temper at the end of December than he habitually is throughout the year ? Certainly not Paterfamilias, with his re collections of the inevitable Christmas bills; a re collection which is shared in, in a modified form, by the eldest son, and as many of the family down wards as have attained to commercial liabi.ities. No ; the fun of Christmas, if it ever existed, is gone —gone with wild foxes, four-mile heats, and the legitimate drama ! Gone with Conservatism, stage coaches, and the organ of veneration in young people for their superiors in age. Christmas may be, and is by many 1 fancy, con sidered to be a time, when it is excusable, if not an imperative duty, to eat more than usual ; possibly more than is, strictly speaking, good for the con sumer. The papers describe in, to me, unappetis ing terms the show of Christmas beef in the vari ous butchers' shops; and it was stated in print, a short time since, that a select party of gen t lemen had gone to see as a pleasing, perhaps an appetizing, sight, the slaughter of the prize hero of the Cittle Show—the big ox. But it is to be feared that a too volatile generation is becoming blase ; even of the only pleasure apparently remaining to Christmas time, viz., the roast beef of Old Eng land ! If this be not so, why was the devoted elaud the centre of f,so eager a circle ? Why are the hip pophagists so busy? I can't admire the gentleman who rode his hack of years' standing, up to the slaughter-house, and then ate him. He would have been only rightly served if the animal, following the precedent of Balaam's ass, had proclaimed through the streets, with the voice of a town-crier, the cold-blooded nature of its rider. He, by the way, would have been surprised at so new a form of warning. But these sort of things go to prove that people are getting tired of the Christmas pice de resistance, beef ; and I have endeavoured to ex plain my conviction that this is the only sub stantial remaining comfort of Christmas, is not the assertion that this so-called festive season has become a bore, to a certain degree justified ? It is over now, any how, and luckily for many people it comes only once a year. An essay on Christmas by a " receiver" of Christmas boxes might differ considerably in opinion from those of your correspondent, but it is now a thing of the past. The year of '6B has commenced, and if the world lasts so long no doubt the usual amount of surprises will take place ere '69 arrives-365 days ago, who fancied Hermit for the Derby ? Who did not con-. skier Achievement a good thing, not to say a cer tainty, for the Oaks? Who could have foretold the Reform Bill, let alone the Fenian outrages ? Since then we are all older, many of us sadder, some of us wiser, men ; but the wisest of us can do no more than cease to regret the past, and hope for the best in the future. As regards sport in Leicestershire more especially.—Land and Water. THE LOST LEITH STEAMSHIPS.--A letter is pub lished by Messrs. James Currie and Co., owners of the Vienna, stating that part of the cargo and fittings of the Vienna had been picked up at sea, and that there could now be little doubt that the steamer was lost by collision about the Ist or 2d of December. They announce the names of a committee which had been voluntarily formed among leading merchants in Leith for receiving and ap propriating contributions for the relief of the families of those who perished. Mr. O'Dowd, solicitor of her Ma jesty's Customs, is at present in Leith prosecuting a pre liminary inquiry into the cause of the 100 of the Ivanhoe iu the gale of the la of December. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SOLDIER CHARGED WITH ROBBING A COMRADE. —John Rollinson, a private in the 2d battalion of Grenadier Guards, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing two watches, of the value of £B, the property of Samuel Cartwright, another private of the same battalion. The prosecutor, a married man, residing with his wife at St. George's Barracks, said that on the Bth instant his wife went out, and while she was gone be went into the general barrack room with the child, locking the door of his room, but leaving the key in it. About an hour afterwards he went to his room and missed two watches. Thinking his wife might have put the watches away before going out, he said nothing about them till she returned, when he found that the watches had been stolen during her absence. He then gave in formation to the police, and subsequently saw one of the watches in the hands of a pawnbroker. The watch produced was the same. On charging the prisoner with taking the watch he denied doing so. Charles Kelley, assistant to Mr. George Atten borough, pawnbroker, of Fleet-street, said that on Thursday afternoon the prisoner came in with a watch (produced) and offered it in pledge. Seeing information in the " List" respecting the watch he detained it, and sent for a constable, but the pri soner, before he arrived, ran away. At first the prisoner told the manager that he had had the watch for a month, but he afterwards said it was his sister's, and that he had it from her, and on his (witness) asking how long he had had it, he said a fortnight. Subsequently he (witness) went to St. George's Barracks, and identified the prisoner. In answer to the prisoner, the witness said the watch was detained at half-past three. The prisoner said that he could call witnesses to prove that he was not out of the barracks after two o'clock. Sergeant Harris, 61 A, said that he accompanied the last witness to the barracks, and on the Ser geant-major ordering some men, all about the same size and dressed in a similar manner, to fall in the witness Kelley identified the prisoner as the man who had offered him the watch in pledge. On tell ing the prisoner that be should take him into cus tody for stealing the watches, he said, " Very well, you have got the wrong man." The prisoner denied stealing the watches, and said he could prove that he did not. The witness Kelley said that he was positive the prisoner was the rnsn who offered the watch in • pledge. In answer to Mr. Knox, Sergeant Hardy said that the prisoner could have been out of the barracks at the time stated had he thought proper. Mr. Knox said the prisoner should have every opportunity afforded him for calling his witnesses, and remanded him for that purpose. • WESTMINSTER. SWINDLING THE NornmTr.—George Thompson, described as of no fixed abode, clerk, a young man, was charged with obtaining 6s. 9d. under false and fraudulent pretences. Elizabeth Cole, wife of Simeon Cole, a special constable, butler to Mr. W. ii. Merle, 20, Princess terrace, Hyde-park, said on the previous afternoon the prisoner came to the house and loft a letter, addressed to her master, marked on the top, " Overland Route, Foreign Despatch, 'Gs. 9d." It was marked private on the back. The prisoner pro duced a ready written receipt, receipted it, and took the 6s. 9d. As he was leaving the place, wit ness's husband returned. She gave him the letter, and he having an idea that it was a swindle, from what he had read in the papers, broke it open, and found it to contain a piece of newspaper and an old envelope, addressed " Harrison, Esq., 34, Eccle ston-square." He ran after prisoner, who ran away, and having caught him, took him to Walton street police-station. Sergeant John Morgan, 3 B, said the prisoner was brought to the station by Mr. Cole, and charged. Witness directed a constable to search him, and found in his pocket nine similar letters addressed to noblemen and gentlemen out of town as follows : R. Phebbs, Esq., 12, Rutland-gate ; W. R. Sand back, Esq., 10, Prince's-gate ; Right Hon. Lord Bolton, 40, Prince's-gardens ; Alexander Duncan, Esq., 7, Prince's-gate ; Right Hon. Lord Dynevor, 19, Prince's-gardens ; Lieut.-Colonel W. Gray, M.P., 20, Prince's-gardens ; Eustace Smith, Esq., 28, Prince's-gardens ; H. Elias, Esq., 18, Prince's gardens ; James Watney, Esq., 32, Prince's gardens ; L. Dillwin, Esq., M.P., 10, Prince's terrace ; .Right Hon. H. G. Campbell, 1, Prince's terrace ; 5 receipts relating to some of the above ; £1 19s. in gold and silver ; some betting cards, and a way book containing receipts to the number of 200, some of them signed " Markham," and ad dressed " Mrs. Markham, Grove-cottage, Rich mond." Prisoner said it was addressed to his mother, and when witness opened it he said it was given him to post by a friend, and he had forgotten it. Inside the book was written, " Dawson's Despatch Company, 392, Strand, Geo. Thompson B. Messenger." There was another case where the prisoner obtained 6s. 9d. the day before from the servant of Mr. R. Phebbs, 12, Rutland ga te. Complaints of this kind of swindling were in the newspapers. Prisoner said he was the tool of others, and knew nothing about the transaction, except that he was sent to deliver them. Mr. Arnold said it was not necessary then to go into other CABO j he would be remanded till this day week. THAMES. SANGUINARY AFFRAY WITH THE Thomas Burke, an Irish labourer, was brought before Mr. Paget on remand, charged with being concerned with others, now under sentence of im prisonment, for assaulting and wounding Police sergeant Truston, 58 K, and several constables of the K division on, the night of the 6th of April last in Brook-street, Rateliff. John Pecd, now a carman, and who was a constable, 404 K, in the police force in April last, said he was called upon by the landlord of a public house to take the prisoner Burke into custody for breaking a pane of glass. Pend told the landlori he might summon the prisoner. The constable had no sooner pronounced the word " summon" than the prisoner became furious, and struck the eon stable. Pend took theprisoner into custody. He made a desperate resistance, dragged the constable seve ral yards, threw him, struggled with him on the ground. Pend never released his hold of the pri soner until Sergeants Butt and Truston came to his aid. Stones, bottles, bricks, and other missiles were thrown from all directions by the Irish, and Truston, Butt, and Pend were severely wounded. Truston was carried away insensible and bleeding copiously from his wounds. The police had to use their truncheons, and apprehended two Irishmen, who were subsequently tried at the Central Criminal Court, convicted, and sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment and hard labour. The pri soner eluded the search made for him until New Year's-day, when he was taken out of his bed by Truston, at No. 4, Three Fox-court, Ratcliff. Pend was subsequently discovered and now gave evi dence. After a long inquiry the prisoner was com mitted for trial.

NETV QUEEN'S THEATI?E. The new domestic drama, " Dearer than Life," just produced here, is beyond doubt by f ar the best thing that has yet been accomplished by the management of this theatre. As a dramatic work it is well and neatly written ; and as an acting plai t it is full of incident from beginning to end. We shall not find fault with it because it in some parti culars bears a similarity to pieces that have already been produced ; we look at it as an opportunity afforded Mr. Toole of appearing in a nevf character, and as such we feel great pleasure in recording its unequivocal and decided suc cess. The plot, although simple, is very inte resting and, briefly related, is as follOws Michael Garner, a bluff, honest, old tradesman, and his devoted wife, have an only son, in whom all their hopes are centred. This youth falls into bad company, his favourite associate and the chief con triver of his ruin being Bob Gassitt a roue and bet ting-man. Under this profligate Charley turns out a spendthrift and a turfite. He stands to win a lot of money upon Sunbeam, but the horse is scratched and his backer comes to grief. The discovery that his son has robbed his employers falls like a thun derbolt upon Michael Garner, and the dreadful news is all the more unwelcome, coming as it does at the moment when there is a social gathering at Garner's house to celebrate the 27t 11 anniversary of his wedding-day. To shield his WY from infamy, and more especially to keep his crime secret from his mother, the old man pretends to have himself committed the felony too truly laid to the charge of his son. This ruse is the saving of the latter, who escapes to a foreign land, but it Is the destruction of the old people, who, driven from their comfortable shop and home, are reduced to a garret in Lambeth, where Michael becomes a mes senger and his niece Lucy a sempstress. After the lapse of two years, during which period the family undergo bitter privations, Charley returns from abroad a rich and regenerated man. He restores his father and mother to their former reputable position, and gladdens the heart of his cousin Lucy, who is fondly attached to him, by marriage. The acting of Mr. Toole as the kind, good father is nature itself, and having said that we cannot pay it a higher tribute. Mr. L. Brough will also achieve a great reputation by his wonderfully true repre sentation of the old besotted drunkard Bob Garner. The other parts are supported by Mr. Irving, Mr C. Wyndham, Mr. Clayton, Mr. Seaton, Miss Hod son, Miss Everard, and Mrs. E. Dyes ; and we may say at once that it would be quite impossible to have selected better representatives of the respective characters from the whole of the theatrical profes sion. The drama is excellently put upo n idle stage, and if good acting is sufficient to attract u large audience, then " Dearer than Life" will prove a great and immense success, a result it most cer tainly deserves. SPECIAL CONSTABLES. The North-East (6th) Tower Hamlets Rifle Volunteer Corps, commanded by Colonel Monett will march to the Islington Vestry-hall one even. ing, and be sworn in as specials for the Islington district. Captain Dennis, of the regiment, is the appointed Superintendent. Yesterday Captain WTebb, the Secretary of the Sailors' Home in Well-street, Whitechapel, ac{ companied by the clerks, stewards, carman, helpers, and others in that invaluable institution, and the clerks and officers in the shipping-office esta blished under the Mercantile Marine Act, within the building, were sworn in and enrolled as special con stables by Mr. Paget at the Thames Police Court. The swearing-in of special constables for 'lateliff, Limehouse, Poplar, Bow, Bromley, Mile-end Old town, Shadwell, St. George in-the-East, Holy Trinity, Minories, St. Helen, Wapping, St. Botolpn Without, Aidgate, and the precinct of St. Katha rine was continued yesterday. Mr. Paget and Mr. Livingston, the chief usher, administered the oath to about fifty butchers in the course of the day. The Hon. Edward C. Curzon and Mr. John F Francs, Justices of the Peace for Middlesex, at tended at the Vestry Hall, Kensington, last even ing, being the seventh bench held in this parish for swearing in special constables. A large number of the ratepayers and residents at Kensington, Notting hill, and Brompton have been sworn in. At a general meeting held later in the evening Col. Millman, of Onslow-square, Brompton, was appointed Superin tendent of the whole division, and Captain Spence Derrington Turner, of Warwick-gardens, Kensington, Deputy Superintendent. The parish was then divided into four subdivisions, and placed under the charge of Deputy-Superintendents, as under :—A subdivision, Lord William Hill Lennox, 8, Prince of Wales-terrace, Kensington ; B subdi vision ; Lieutenant Sudlow, of Bedford-gardens, Kensington ; C subdivision, Major Harrison, of Holland-road Kensington ; D subdivision, Major Moore, of Norland-house, Notting-hill. Active steps are being taken for the thorough organisation of the force. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Friday. The soldiers who walked in the Dublin Fenian procession are still in custody, the report of the Court of Inquiry into the case not having been yet sent to the authorities. A Dublin telegram says the man arrested in that city is understood by the police to be Lennon, who was chief in counnand of the Fenian insurgents in the March insurrection at Tallaght. Ile was armed with a six-chambered revolver when arrested. The Dublin Evening 21fail says five persons will be tried for high treason. Another Dublin telegram says the Government prosecution for sedition against theproprietor of the Irishman newspaper was proceeded with yesterday before the police magistrates, at Dublin. The sum mons was issued, at the suit of the Attorney- General, against Mr. Richard Pigott, the proprietor, to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for seditious publications in his journal. The range of the prosecution ex tends from June last up to last Saturday. —The magistrates, having investigated the charge, com mitted the prisoner for trial. TIIL CLERKENWELL 0 UTRAGE. —The prisoners Burke, Casey, and Shaw, who were on Wednesday committed for trial at Warwick from Bow-street Police court, on a charge of treason-felony, arrived at the War wick station of the Great Western Railway shortly after six o'clock the same afternoon. Thera was no one ready to receive them, and they had to remain in the waiting room, in charge of Superintendent Durkin and the con stables who accompanied him, until the prison van ar rived, when they were conveyed in safety to the county gaol. Their arrival had been announced by telegraph, but from some obscurity in the telegram it was expected that they would arrive at the Avenue Station, Leaming ton, by the North-Western Railway, where a large force of police were in readiness to receive them. Their com mittal for trial at the Warwick Assizes has caused con siderable excitement, both in Warwick and Leamington. The county gaol, which stands about half a mile from the borough of Warwick, is guarded by a strong body of police. It is a large building, was erected in 1860, con tains over 300 coils, and is conducted on the rigid separat4 system, - Accc day tb The attend engage ness.l is so we' Foreigi lapse.
