Things are getting worse and worse in Spain, and there seems but little chance now of the throne being preserved for Queen ISABELLA. Cadiz is now in the hands of the rebels, which of itself is sufficient to create great apprehension. A proclamation to the Ca' alans sets forth the wrongs and grievances of the nation, and doubtless may stand good as the feelings of the general community. It declares that the " dynasty, deaf to advice, treats the nation as an enemy, and pauses not in its path of immorality and hypocrisy ;" and it concludes by declaring that the " struggle will be short, because all classes have been injured and offended." This last intimation is likely to prove correct, for already the disaffec tion has spread so rapidly, and comprised so many influential portions of the State, that a few more days may witness something of the most decisive kind, and this is evidently the opinion of the leading authorities in the country. The QUEEN lefc for Madrid, but was obliged to return to St. Sebastian, the Castile Railway having been interrupted. A most significant item in the intelligence is that which informs us that there is " great agitation" at " Madrid;" and it is impossible to overlook the im portance of this news, because the next step in the affair wilLno doubt be that the capital is as much in earnest as the provinces can be. It is well known how fast any disaffection will spread in Spain, and when once matters have gone so far that any admission is made, the rest will follow as a thing of course. While the rebels are carrying matters with a high hand, and gaining ground in all directions, little or nothing seems to be done in the way of checking their progress. The truth is that the QUEEN is perplexed, and her advisers paralysed. It is a most unfortunate time to change the Ministry, and General CONCHA, who has been appointed President of the Council, cannot succeed in forming a fresh Cabinet. An appearance of strength has been made, it is true, by issuing a royal decree, and the official Gazette declares that the Spanish Government is determined to resist the movement made against it ; but still the awkward fact remains that no suc cess, however trifling, can be put against the overwhelming triumphs of the insurgents. In Andalusia the forces of the insurrectionists have been computed at fourteen thousand soldiers and eleven vessels of war, having on board five thousand men. It is said that the French Government have determined not to interfere at all, but to preserve a " strict neutrality" in Spanish affairs. The ac counts given by the French journals are no more reassuring than those furnished on the scene of action, and we find in the Gaulois that the revolu tion is spreading. Besides Cadiz and Seville, Malaga, Carthagena, Ferral, and the whole coast between Malaga and Carthagena have risen. This seems conclusive news at any rate, and when viewed in connection with other events in Spain seems to leave little chance for the Royalist party. Indeed it may yet be too late for the modifications and changes which it is said are contemplated. The rival claims of the Duchess of MONTPENSIER and the son of QUEEN ISABELLa arc being weighed, but even now the strongest party in the State may spurn all solicitations from either quarter, and resolve upon starting itself; but lx; the decision what it may it must be all arrange 1 by tin nation, for foreign Powers will not be inclined to take part in the dispute. It is not surprising that the increased constitu encies and the change in the political eituatiou should have brought forward an unusual number of new and untried candidates for the suffrages of the electors. More especially is this the case in regard to the metropolitan boroughs, where hitherto there has been some ground for complaint that the members were all of one stamp. Aspirants for po litical honours have generally thought the London boroughs too formidable to contest unless they possessed some strong local influence or were backed by a large fortune. The metropo litan electors were not, we may suppose, any more corruptible than the rest of their fellows, but the idea that a London contest must necessarily be an expensive one was popularly prevalent. Whether the additions to the constituencies render the case less formidable, or whether the new class of candi dates are more ambitious, it is certain that the elec tors will have no reason to complain of any lack of variety in their representatives in the general elec tion of 1868. We have had candidates of all shades of opinion coming forward with their addresses and their speeches. The spell of the old regime having b.:en broken, claimants appear to think that other opinions will have a chance of being represented as well as those of the long-established majorities. If this prove to be the case, the representation of the metropolis may very possibly be improved, since the old members will be kept up to the mark by the rivalry of the new ones, and will not only find it necessary to be more liberal in their pledges, but more active in their fulfilment. In the City of London the Liberals must certainly look to their laurels. There are three new Richmonds in the field, and all of them well armed for the combat, and putting forward promises of active and in dustrious service. Where a band of Liberals, headed by GOSCIIEN and ROTHSCHILD, have held un disputed sway for years, three adventurers have dared to thrust themselves forward, professing to be perfectly competent to occupy their places. The electors of the City of London were told to expect great things from some of their members, and ac cordingly they have waited and watched year after year and session after session patiently enough. Before the grand scenic effect has been produced, however, new actors have come on the stage, and unless the first group look to their laurels they are likely to dispute with them the favours of the audience. Mr. CHARLES BELL, Alderman GIBBONS, and Mr. TWELLS are not in any way behind their rivals in their promises. With the solitary exception of the Irish Church, indeed, there is little apparent difference between the Libe ral and the Conservative programme. Taking Mr. BELL'S address, for instance, we find him " cor dially acluiescing" in the extension of the fran chise, and promisiag to assist in discovering the most efficacious remedies for any inconveniences in its practical application. He further de3lares it essen tial that legislation shall be directed towards the remedy of the anomalies and insufficiencies of the law, to the better administration of bankrupt estates, to the greater diffusion of education, the careful adjustment of taxation, and the improvement of the poor laws. As a City man, it is natural that commercial interests occupy a prominent place in his programme, and the same may be said of his two coadjutors. Aldorruan GIBBONS, indeed, as a THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1868. member of one of those City companies who hold estates in Ireland, has more to say about Irish affairs, especially as regards the Land Tenure, but we are glad to find that he does not overlook the necessity for "an equitable settlement for the assessment of the poor rates." Mr. TWELLS considers the foreign policy of the Conservative Government entitles them to support, while he, like the others, promises to give much of his atten tion to fiscal, financial, and commercial measures. So far, then, as the City is concerned the Con servatives are in full force, while on the Surrey side of the metropolis they are quite as active. Mr. CoorE, as we know, is bestirring himself in the Tower Hamlets, while Mr. MORGAN HOWARD seems likely to prove a formidable opponent to Alderman LAWRENCE in Lambeth. Last night both gentle men held meetings, and addressed their supporters at some length. On local questions both promised fairly and were not very different in their views. The improvement of the dwellings of the working classes, the extension of education, the opening of museums, the Sunday liquor traffic, and similar topics occupy a very prominent place in speeches on the hustings, but they are very apt to be forgotten by the can didates when once the magic M.P. is appended to their names. Yet they affect much more closely the welfare of thousands whom they represent than many more exciting political questions. We hope that the new Parliament will be a little more active in these respects, and that the new members and new constituencies will combine to keep their hust ings' pledges a little more faithfully in mind. General PEEL has returned to the charge, and has show n in a very unmistakeable manner the erroneous conclusions at which Mr. CHILDERS arrived in his recent speech at Pontefract. As the General forcibly puts it, the comparison which the members of the late Liberal Government have made between the military expenditure of the two Administrations is unreasonable and unwise, be - cause the present Government are " only develop ing the changes inherited from them," and supply ing their deficiencies ; and that a review of the military expenditure from 1860 to six years after wards will not redound to the credit of the Government by which it was conducted. It will be remembered that Mr. CHIL DERS declared in his speech that the Libe ral Government steadily reduced the army by sixteen thousand men during the last four years of their administration, but General PEEL puts a very different construction upon the fact that was :con veyed by the meaning of the hon. member. " Yes," he exclaims, and if " Lord DERBY'S Government had not increased the pay of the men they would have had the opportunity of boasting that they had reduced twenty thousand men in one year, and for the very same reason that they could not get them." Then, again, the fortifications which ought to have been finished, and the armaments provided for in the Estimates of 1866 were banded over to Lord DERBY'S Government in a most unfinished state ; and thus the public may see that when Mr. GLAD ' STONE and his satellites boast of their economy and the low rate of the expenditure, the point was gained by falling short of the promises made and leaving the defences of the country in a most hap hazard state. In six years the Whig Govern ment spent over twelve millions in guns and warlike material, but with so little success, that in March, 1866, they had scarcely anything to show for it. Twelve breech loaders only, and the small arms in store were de creasing because no pattern was decided upon, and no new rifle was made for years. Very truly does General PEEL deny that in Lord RUSSELL'S Govern ment and that of Lord PALMERSTON there was a reduction of general expenditure at the same time that new arms were introduced and new ideas de veloped. "Now," says he, " that is just what was not done." New ideas were not developed any more thAn new arms were forth coming, and the reduction of the expendi ture was entirely owing to the suspension in providing for them as has been shown by the table of " audited accounts." General PEEL'S statement is deserving of attention, and those who are not too prejudieLd to see plain truths when put before them will admit that he has the best of the argu ment, and his opponents arc cast entirely into the shade. A more unfair attack than this which Mr. GLADSTONE has led upon the expenditure of the present Government has never been made, and for the sake of fair play we hope that the electors throughout the_country will show their sense of its character. The Queen, in her last passage through Paris, left 5,000 francs to the servants of the British Embassy. The elections which excite most interest at pre sent are those in which the contests are between different sections of the same party. In the county of Cork there are four Liberal candidates in the field—namely, Mr. Smith Barry, Mr. Boyle, Mr. Power, and Mr. M'Cartby Downing, each possess ing considerable influence with various classes of the electors. The first two named are put forward as the " official " candidates. The last two, or rather, perhaps, the first and the last, are the more popular. A meeting of Mr. Downing's supporters was held on Sunday in Mallow, and was attended, it is stated, by 2,000 persons. Mr. William Creagh, J.P., occupied the chair. Mr. Downing addressed the assembly at some length, and in the course of his speech said 500 electors of the West Riding had pledged themselves not only to support him, but to ride their own horses to the poll with out any expense to him. He gave a full statement of his views, declaring that, although the Church question predominates this moment beyond other important questions, the land question was the question of questions for the Irish people. He was prepared to join with the great Liberal party in England in disestablishing and diiendowing the Irish Church, and he would do so in no spirit of hostility to the Protestant clergy, of whom he spoke in respectful terms. He believed, however, that " there never will be peace, contentment, nor prosperity in this land until the industry and happi ness of the tiller of the soil are fully and justly protected." He avowed his intention to support the claims for a denominational system of educa tion. He replied to objections against his candida ture, stated that his return was certain, and gave the following sketch of what his course of action will be if returned : —" Acting on the principles of independence as I always understood them, I will gladly avail of the opportunity of placing in power the man who is pledged to redress the grievances under which we have so long laboured, who con demns the cruel policy of England towards this country, and who promises to make reparation for those evil deeds. I will not become a slavish follower :of Mr. Gladstone, and should he attain power I will watch his conduct with a jealous eye. Once the Church question is settled, I will await the measure of justice which he will offer to the tenantry of Ireland. If it is ample and based upon equitable principles, I will support him. (Cheers.) Should it fall short of these qualities, I will to the best of my ability expose its defects, and act ag,in on the policy of independence ; for while I admire the position which Mr. Gladstone has taken, and while he will carry the discndowmeut of the Church, an important question remains—namely, the appropriation of the surplus revenue ; and when I consider Mr. Gladstone's financial dealings with Ireland, of which she has deep cause to com plain, I feel that it may require the strength of an united independent Irish party to obtain the application of that surplus to local purposes not now provided for out of the Exchequer, such as PaYnaentt-of poor-rates and county cess." COAREETONDENCA FROM Mate Mom OUR OWN coniusranzrr) PARIS, TUESDAY, Septemiali The events in Spain continue almost exclusively to occupy public attention here. Though a Spanish matured. tion is one of the most ordinary events, and though alnost serious outbreak has been expected for some time past, the news of the pronunciamento at Cadiz has caused the greatest excitement. This very largely arises from the uncertainty as to the course which will be taken by France, many thinking that the danger of the Emperor's meddling with the affairs of the Peninsula is considerable. The fear, however, can hardly be well founded. Of all the " ideas" that ever provoked the French Emperor to an appeal to arms, the idea of sending French troops to the assistance of Queen Isabella would be most absurd and ruinous. It would strengthen the insurrection itself by animating the Spanish people against a foreign invader; it would weaken the position of the Queen, if that can be made any wnrse ; and it would be met by the most serious discontent in France. The notion of paying for an army to support Queen Isabella is never likely to be popular here. Spanish affairs must decide themselves ; strict neutrality is likely to be the order of the day here. The interference with the private meeting at Nimes is not an example which the Government seem disposed to construe into a precedent. Several democrats, including MM. Emmanuel Arago and Duclere, formerly Minister of Finance under the Republic, resolved to make the experiment and hold a private meeting with the view of taking legal proceedings if the Government inter fered. They accordingly assembled in a private house to the number of 200, but met with no interruption what ever. The Government felt bound, perhaps, to sustain its agents in the case of the Nimes affair, but though their conduct was justified at the trial, the authorities do not seem disposed to repeat it. We may therefore conclude that the intervention at Nimes was an event altogether extraordinary, and that in future the law of lrivate meetings will be respected. The note which was published at the Bourse a few dal% ago, in the name of the Ministers Moustier, Pinard, and Magne, is now declared to be an invention. It wai got up for market purposes. An accident on the line of railway between Bordeaux and Arcachon is announced. Nobody was killed, but a large number of passengers sustained contusions and fractures. After his three victories in the Var, the Nievre, and the Moselle, M. Pinard thought he had earned a holiday, and was about to start for an estate possessed by his wife in the Autun district. The news of the revolution has, however, prevented his departure. A strange attempt at murder is reported from Lyons. A retired tradesman has a small office in one part of the town for bill-discounting. He called there two or three nights back, and was unlocking the door of the inner room, when he was struck insensible by a stranger concealed in the passage. He was then pushed into the room by his hidden assailant, and stabbed several times. The noise alarmed the tenant of the floor above, who proceeded to the spot, but the murderer managed to escape, leaving behind a hat, a handkerchief, and an umbrella. The extraordinary part of the story is, that M. Tardien insists that ,no attempt was made to murder him, and that the injuries he sustained were caused by his falling downstairs in the dark. The police refuse to believe him, holding the umbrella and hat to be conclu sive proofs. . The Imperial Family at Bayonne are quietly enjoying themselves, quite unmoved by the trouble which has broken out southwards. The ambiguous speech of the King of Prussia at Kiel has been followed by others of decidedly peaceful charac ter, and the Bourse at Paris is reassured for the time. In other respects King William's progress through the Elbe Duchies presents little that is remarkable. As a tour of inspection through a newly-acquired province, it is, however, interesting to note the manner in which the inhabitants received their new sovereign. Of course there was no fear of his being publicly insulted, but disaffection can be evinced by absence and silence as well as by open demonstration. But the King was well received, and the Daily News cor respondent says, with justice, that there is reason to believe the ovations and demonstrations of loyalty were genuine, and proceeded at least from the head, if not from the heart. The Schleswig-Holsteiners might probably prefer the rule of their native dukes, and they cannot entertain any exalted admiration of the style in which they were " annexed." But they are Germans, and can understand that in these troublesome times they are better off as members of a great military Power than as a petty State. The Monitcur says . the speech of the King of Prussia at Hamburg testifies to his full confidence in the maintenance of peace. The opening of the Peace Congress at Berne has been accompanied by every indication of oratorical war. The earlier proceedings have been occupied by the question of standing armies, which the Congress has, of course, con demned without reserve. But the programme is not restricted to subjects arisingout of the danger of war or the advisability of peace. The Congress has already decided to discuss the suppression of all official recognition of religions, the abolition of Concordats, and religious teaching in schools supported by the State. The condemnation of standing armies will probably be accompanied by a saving clause in favour of standing organisations for the overthrow of Governments, and there can be little doubt that the interests of peace will be again promoted by the moral support of all the revolutionary projects of Europe. The news that the Wagshum Gobazye has at length triumphed over all competitors and has seated himself upon the throne of Abyssinia is not unexpected. He was the strongest and perhaps the most able of the contending parties, and it is well that such a dangerous dignity should be secured by the potentate best able to support it. Gobazye has long intrigued for the sovereignty of Abys sinia. He and Prince ICassai, the ally of the English. aro on good terms. The Brazilian Government has addressed to all the Governments of Europe a n ote an nouncing that the regu lations relative to pas sports have b een ma d e muc h l ess stringent. Henceforth Brazilian subjects and foreigners wbo have a fixed residence in Brazil will not require a passport in order to leave the country. Foreigners not having a residence will not be able to leave the country without a passport, but the condition s on which it may be obtained have been greatly simplified. A private letter from Japan confirms the news already received as to the persecution of the native Christians by the Mikado. Our correspondent, under date "Shanghai, July 30, 1868," writes as follows : "When I was at Naga saki 2,000 native Christians were awaiting execution in the country, and a few days after I left a steamer was sent out with 150 Christians on board, to be drowned in the sea.", Mr. Disraeli's baronets will soon be past counting. It has been his good fortune to reward not only his political elupporters, but public men whom any Government would have rewarded. The last accession to the ranks of the minor nobility is Mr. Charles Mills, who for forty-six years has taken part in the home administration of India. He now retires from the India Council, and it is probable that he will be suc ceeded either by Sir F. Halliday, who was Lieutenant- Governor of Bengal under Lords Dalhousie and Canning, or by Sir H. Harrington, one of , the Knights of the Star of India. The vacancy caused by the retirement of Mr. Eastwick will be filled by Sir Robert Montgomery, until recently Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjab. Sir Robert entered the service of the East India Company forty-one years ago, and his earlier employments were in the offices of magistrate and collector. During the mutiny he was Judicial Commissioner in the Punjab, and his services were of the highest importance throughout that critical period. A few days ago the Pall Mall Gazette made an attack upon Mr. Odger, the working men's candidate for Chelsea, which was quite unworthy of a journal " written by gentlemen for gentlemen." The article said : "We know not what good Odger has ever done that he should be asked to select a borough for himself, or what evil Chelsea has ever done that it should become the unfortunate object of his choice. According to his own view, his qualifications, besides that of ringleader of a mob, simply are that he is an advocate for all the points of the Charter; that as he never had any education he knows the value of it ; and that his father was a miner, and his mother mad." Professor Fawcett wrote to complain of an article " so personal and so cruel," and at the same time gave a very high character of the victim of the assault. This letter has not been inserted, and so Mr. Fawcett has sent it to the Daily Hews. Mr. Mill has also written to Mr. Odger, wishing him success, and sending a subscription to his election expenses. It ist a grievous thing to see attacks of this kind made upor, any man, and when they are made by journals professedty impartial, what must we not expect from those which m -e avowedly partisan ? It appears that bigotry is not confined to Orangem. and Ultramontanes. The Jews, who were supposed to h 3 the most tolerant religionists in the world, having learnt the lesson in the stern school of experience, are now proving that bigotry is not the peculiar property of one or two sects, but is an element common to humanity. The Jewish Chronicle calls upon the Hebrew electors of the Tower Hamlets to refrain from voting for Mr. Samuda, because he is an "apostate Jew "—i.e., a Christian. The Hebrew electors of that borough must be in a state of per plexity. On the one hand they have a Liberal candidate who is an " apostate ;" on the other, a Conservative candi date who will support an " apostate " Premier. Perhaps M 191 4 lutst Politiagabitkr.

A proclamation to the Catalans declares that " the dynasty, deaf to advice, trerts the nation as an enemy, and pauses not on its path of immorality and hypocrisy. The nation shed its blood in wars to secure the liberty now trampled under foot. The nation was flying to arms, for it can no longer endure such scandal and infamy. The struggle will be short, because all classes have been injured and offended." The proclamation appeals to the army to join the people. "It is time for the nation to assume the sovereignty, and to proclaim universal suffrage, and the assembling of a Constituent Corte3." It con cludes thus, "We serve the cause of no person or family, property and domestic rights shall be re spected. Viva the sovereign nation. Vira a Con stituent Cortes."

The reports from the provinces are confused and contradictory. MADRID, Sept. 19. The following official proclamations have been issued by the Government : The Queen, in concert with the council of Ministers, has ordered that the district under my command shall be declared in a state of siege. In consequence of that order I, Don Eusebio de Calonge Fenolles, Lieutenant-General of the Na tional Army, and Captain-General of New Castille, do order as follows : 1. This capital and the district of New Castille is declared in a state of siege. 2. Crimes of sedition and revolt which shall be come known to the authorities shall be judged by the ordinary military council, and be punished ac cording to the disciplinary military code. This also applies to accomplices and abbettors of these offences. 3. Besides the crimes specified in the above ar ticle, arson, theft, larceny, disobedience, and insults to the authorities will also be punished by the Council of War. 4. Those persons who shall cause damage to pro perty, destroy the telegraphic wires, or the railway lines, and also all persons spreading alarms, will be judged and punished as disturbers of public order, in conformity with the disciplinary regulation of the army. 5. The civil and judicial authorities will con tinue to act in all those matters appertaining to their offices which are not comprised in the dis positions laid down by the present proclamation without prejudice to their power of bringing under my notice and submitting to my . decision whatever they may deem necessary. en bloc. Inhabitants of New Castille ! This military dis trict having been declared in a state of siege, in undertaking the command confided to me by the Queen, it is my first duty to address myself to the peaceable and honest inhabitants to demand of them that support which public authority requires for the proper execution of the laws. If I obtain that support, the task confided to me will be a safe one, and my satisfaction in thoroughly executing it will be great, since, if men of calm sense are repelled there are no criminal desires which cannot obtain the upper hand i❑ thee days, when ambition is so unrestrained; and where it seeks to gain its ends by means as unique as they are un worthy. The preventive measures which the Go vernment of the Queen has been forced to adopt by the unexampled and indescribable facts in this sad era of distressing discords will be employed by me to secure your tranquility and your property. Keep the rebels at a distance, do not mix your selves up with them, leave them in such a state of isolation as shall point them out to justice, do not impede the protective action of the public forces if the sad necessity should arise, and do not fear that the protection of the authorities will fail you, nor will their vigilance in any way disquiet you. It is only intended to employ the wholesome rigour of the law against conspirators and revolutionists, and this is demanded by public necessity. (Signed) EUSEBIO DE CALONAGE, Captain-General of the Province of Madrid. The Government of the Province of Madrid. The Governor of the Province of Madrid to the in habitants of the province : By a royal order, dated yesterday, her Majesty the Queen, in concert with her Council of Minis ters, has declared all the provinces of the monarchy in a state of siege. In virtue, therefore, of this royal resolution, whereby her Majesty has desired more thoroughly to secure public tranquillity against the attacks of ..the revolutionists, I to-day discon tinue to exercise all those political functions which the law in similar cases transfer to the military authorities. In acquainting you with this fact I shall not cease to exhort you that in the new situation created by ;the Queen you shall continue to give similar proof of wisdom, sympathy, and fidelity as in past times, and for which I express my liveliest gratitude. Trust in the thought that the Government watches :over your well being and eagerly seeks a solution for your troubles. Await tranquilly its decisions. Do not allow your selves to be seduced by the suggestions of evil minded persons, and do not for one instant depart from that path of duty in which you have so long continued. It will be a striking folly on your part to lose by a stupid mistake the respect of which your conduct has made you so worthy, and which is appreciated by the Government of the Queen and by all the authorities ; and, on the other hani, to lay your selves and your families open to the innumerable evils which would be the result of a necessary and a just repression of rebellion. Your Governor hopes that he will have no cause to complain of this, and that you will be in the future as in the past, docile to the voice of autho rity and eager to execute its orders.

THE Pooß LITTLE VAGRANT.—Emma Clark, aged 10 years, was brought before Paget, on re mand, charged with vagrancy. The wretched child was taken into custody by James Harvey, a police constable, No. 157 K, while she was running along side an omnibus in the Commercial-road. She was throwing somersaults and tumbling among the boys, and the passengers were encouraging the degrading exhibition by flinging half-pence to her. She threw away some of them when she was taken into custody, and three half-pence was found upon her. Mr. Benson condemned in forcible terms the encourage ment given by the foolish omnibus passengers to vagrancy, and said it was shocking to hear that a girl bad unsexed herself by tumbling and throwing somersaults in a public road. He also condemned the mother of the girl who had sent out the child and a boy, her son, to commit acts of vagrancy. Mr. Paget now endorsed every word his colleague had said on this case, and said he wished it were possible to punish omnibus passen gers who were absurd enough to throw halfpence to the young vagrants tumbling in our public roads. It was a great nuisance, and was attended with 2 danger. The boy, in defence, said the policeman took me because he knew I had been taken up before. Mr. Paget—The policeman properly interfered. He should have taken all the boy tumblers. The Policeman—l could hardly hold her—she nearly slipped through my fingers. The mother of the girl said her son gave his sister money to bring home to her. Mr. Paget—How old is this girl? The Mother—Not ten yet. Mr. Paget said he should give effect to the de termination of his colleague, and take her daughter away from her. The mother was quite unfitted to have the care of the child whom she had demora lised. He ordered that the child should be sent to an industrial school in Sloane-street, Chelsea, and detained there till she was 16 years of age. The Mother—l want to take her home. Mr. Paget—You shall not have her again. , Cirtulat HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL CASTLE, Sept. 21. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Christian, drove out. _... The Right Hon. B. Disraeli had the honour of dining with her Majesty and the Royal Family. ' Sic transit! The last progeny of the noble Foscari has, according to the Gazzetta di Venezia, been presented by Victor Emmanuel with the sum of 500 lire. There have also been hopes held out to him that he may have a chance of obtaining the desired appointment of porter in the whilom palace of his family, which is now to be changed into a commercial school. This palace, on the Grand Canal, is known as one of the most magnificen t in Venice. The Austrians had used it as a bar rack. An awkward, though perhaps not quite unde served, accident happened lately to the semi official North German Gazette. It gravely an nounced from London that in his perplexity upon whom to bestow the Governor-Generalship Of India, the Premier had at last chosen " the Lord Mayor," and that this appointment had caused no inconsiderable stir in London. It is obvious that a sagacious editor or printer must have supple mented Lord Mayo's name with an r, inspired by that unfailing faith in the potentate of the Mansion House which still lives in the hearts of our foreign brethren. Nor was the provincial press behindhand in commenting on this recognition of the m erits of " the highest functionary chosen by his fel lows." In consequence of the great movement of grain last year from Austria and Hungary to Western Europe a great stimulus was given to the general commerce of the Austrian Empire. Thus the value of the imports into Austria in 1867 was set down at £30,042,595, as comparedwith £23,307,331 in 1866, showing on increase of £6,735,26 4 . Th e value of the exports from Austria in 1867 wa s £42,045,224, as compared with £37,120,806 in 1866, showing an increase of £4,924,418 last year. The general commercial movement of the Austrian Empire thus amounted last year to £72,087,819, as compared with £60,428,137 in 1866, showing an increase last year of £11,659,682. The pro gress indicated by these figures continued during the first half of 1868. Thanks to 'the exceptionally g ood crop obtained in Hungary in 1867, and to the comparative dearth which prevailed in Western Europe, the exports of cereals amounted last year to 21,185,425 centners, against 8,834,532 centners in 1866. The Sicle pretends to have made the discovery that the Pope is a Freemason— the member of a Sicilian lodge.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE--This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. FOREIGN BUR G LARS. —Two. foreigners, named Gustave Reiland and Alfred Davies, were charged, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with feloniously entering the premises of Mr. Emile Agard, a French chemist, of No. 147, Gerrard-street, Soho, and stealing a quan tity of property. The prosecutor, through Mr. Albert, the inter preter, said that on the previous night about nine o'clock he went out, locking the door of his shop be fore going, and another door leading to the passage was also locked. He returned in about half an hour, and when he tried to open the street door with his key he found something at the bottom of the door which prevented him doing so, and at the same time he heard the noise of the breaking of glass. Having some suspicion that there were thieves in the house he called " Police." Some persons came, and he authorised them to break open the door, and they did so, and he then went in with a police-constable, who called his attention to the door, which he had been unable to open, and he then saw that it had been bolted by some person in the inside, the scales and weights were gone from the counter, the clock was removed from the place where it had been hanging over the door, and a pair of steps was standing there. There was on the counter a hat not belonging to him (prosecutor). On going into the parlour he found two bags filled with his property (the bags were produced in court, and contained a miscellaneous collection of pro perty). He then saw that the window of the back parlour looking into the yard was open, he having left it shut. A few minutes afterwards the prisoners were brought . back to his place, and at that time several constables were present. In get ting out of the window of the parlour some glass was broken, and there was blood near the place. He had seen Reiland at a cafe, but had never spoken to him. Police-constable James Adams, 135 C, said that the prosecutor, who was standing at his door, said that he believed there were thieves in the place, and that he could not get in. lie sent for another constable, and with the prosecutor's authority the door was forced open. He found the property pro duced in the two bags packed up ready for re moval. The back parlour window was open. He afterwards found Rennald at the public-house, and the landlord stopped the other prisoner. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt the constable said the public-house adjoined the back of the prosecu tor's house, and that Reiland had his hands cut. James Clement; of No. 5, Tower-street, proved that he went after one of the prisoners, and brought him back. Police-constable Weeks, 50 C R, said that on searching Hennald he found upon him some skeleton keys and a pair of razors. Mr. Alford identified the razors as his property. Mr. Albert informed Mr. Tyrwhitt that there had been seven burglaries committed by foreigners during the past fortnight. Inspector Harrison said there had been several robberies of a similar kind to the present lately, and there was every reason to believe the prisoners were concerned in them. _ _ Weeks said that Reiland had no hat on, and on his asking him if the bat on the counter belonged to him, he replied " Oui, oui." He afterwards found a key in the lock on the inside of the door, and on showing it to the prisoner he said, " Yes, i t ' s m i n e ; you found it in the passage duor." Rol land in getting out of the window hurt his foot and cut his hand. On searching the prisoner's lodgings he found there several files, saws, and keys. ➢lr. Tyrwhitt remanded tho prisoners. WESTMINSTER. DARING ROBBERY AT A LICENSED VICTUALLER'S. —A young man in a linen apron, giving the name of Thomas Saunders, was placed at the bar charged with the following daring robbery Miss Edith Robins, sister of the landlady of the Montpelier Tavern, Brompton, said that at about five o'clock yesterday afternoon the prisoner came to the bar and called for something, with which he was served. Atter he had been there two or three minutes there came in two other men, who called for liquor and cigars. They were both very chatty, and calling for cigars she placed the box before them. They then asked her to pick them a cigar each, but she declined saying that gentlemen generally picked for themselves. While this was going on she missed the prisoner, and, hearing a sound like the ringing of silver money in the parlour behind the bar, sud denly entered it, and there found the prisoner, whom she seized, and screamed for assistance, thinking the gentlemen at the bar with the cigars would come to her aid, but they did not. She tried to hold the prisoner, but he got away from her, and rushed into the street. Mr. Arnold—Had he done anything in the par lour ? Witness—Yes; he had stolen £5 from the side board in gold and silver, besides some copper money. Mr. Bates, 106, Maida-vale, said he was passing and saw the prisoner running down M'ntpelier place, Brompton. He went in front of him to stop him, when prisoner drew his attention off by throw ing a handful of silver and coppers in his face. He was captured, but escaped ; he was, however, pur sued and retaken. A policeman proved that after he was captured he threw the money away. lie was remanded. THAMES. FIRST SUMMARY CONVICTION FOR EMBEZZLEMENT. Charles Edward Robb, aged 17 years, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with feloniously em bezzling one sovereign he had received for and on account of his master, Mr. David Waite, grocer and cheesemonger, of No. 1, Spring Garden-place, Stepney. On the sth of the present month the prosecutor entrusted his boy with a parcel of goods to deliver to Mr. F. Wickers, a customer of No. 70, Broad-street, Ratcliff. The price of the goods was lls 11d., and prisoner received Bs. ld. of his master with the parcel to eaable him to give change for a sovereign in ac cordance with a preconcerted arrangement with Mr. Wickers. The prisoner delivered the parcel to Mr. Vickers, received a sovereign from him, and gave him Bs. ld. in change. The prisoner did not return to his master, and absconded with the money. He was not heard of until yesterday, when he was arrested by Henry Roper, a police-constable, No. 426 R, to whom he said he was guilty, and- that he was tempted to change the sovereign. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and said he had no excuse to make. Mr. Paget said the Legislature had recently given Are 37 38 .1 tC Dc."c. n. 13 o Do,u; D x 45 E no j Dc G r G °ver ePk 5 b o.
