fcnilant plia4!,l guilty. tomplainant pcove.l that the
defendant came into the Workhouse on Monday night,
and tore up his jacket, waistcoat, and trousers. Sen-
tenced to one month's hard labour.

REFUSING To QUIT A PUBLIC-HOUSE.— Joseph Jones

Pensnett. William Evans, landlord, proved that defend-
ant was drunk, sod refused to go out of the house when

ASSAULT ( ASE.—A STRAYGE WAY OF COURTING.—
Albert Nicklin, residing in Union-street, Stourbridge,
was charged by John Beddard, farmer, residing at Pens.
nett, with assaulting him on the 10th inst. Complain.
ant said that on the above date defendant came to his
house. One of his daughters pointed defendant out,
and said it was young Nicklin, from Stow-bridge. Wit-
neu told him to go away. He refused. Witness went
to push him off, when the defendant struck him a violent
blow on the side of the face with a stick. In answer to
the defendant, wittiest' said that he did not know hews,
courting his daughter. Eliza Beddard, daughter to the
complainant, said she kept a school at Stourbridge, and
lived next door to defendant. On the above date she
went to her father's house, in company with her sister.
She saw the defendant coming towards her father's house,
Cud told her father, who ordered him to go awn]. He
refused, and struck her father with a stick he had in his
hand. The defence was that he had kept company with
complainant's daughter for nearly two years; that be
went to see her at her father's house, when the complain-
ordered him away, and pushed him. Did not know that
he struck the complainant. The learned Magistrate saio
it certainly was a strange way of going courting, and he

by assaulting him, and ordered defendant to find two
sureties in A:25 each, himself in 1:30, to keep the peace
for fUt months, and pay costs.

A C HILD IDHOWNED.—On Thursday last. • little boy
named William Alfred Purchase, aged one year and fire
months, son of Eliza Purchase, was drowned in a well at
the back of the premises. From what we can learn, it
appears that there iv a well 32 feet deep at the back of
Purchase's premises, and containing four feet of water.
The well does not appear to have been much need, and
tea•board or some other light c ivering appears to have
been placed over the top. The child appears to have
walked on the top, when it gave way, and the child fell
into the water; and before assistance could be obtained
the unfortunate child was drowned. Thomas Dueros was
let down the well with a rope round him, and brought the
child up quite dead.

the prisoner's father's garden. The prisoner told him
that he had found the fowl in the lane. Emily Hadley

A Paris correspondent of The Times thus describes
an incident which he witnessed in the streets of
Paris :

Imagine a throng of people on the B.3ilevard, standing
motionless, heats thrown hack, gazing Intently on a black
floating cloud high iu the air. It was a curious-looking cloud
I admit halt 1 cannot fancy a main of English people stand-
ing to gaze at it and to divine its meaning. Here the dark
vapoury mist was treated with more respect. The crowd
muttered; there was much chattering, low and rapid, which
at Mat ended in a prolonged shout of "Victory !" I began to
Inquire what was the cause of the excitement and you will
not wonder that it needed sortie explanation before a "phleg-
matic Englishman" couid seize the full significance of the
event. It seems thlt when first nrOiced the dud had the
'haw, of the letter 7... This was considered strange, hot the
wonder increased, for the Z became gradually converted
Into a horse, then into the head of an horned animal, and
finally the ri ht horn assumed the form of aV. What could
he more conclusive r How .atlet Pads be sextons after
snobs dem...ration from en bigh ? A twig cry of "Victory !”
hailed the concluding. a girt of the performing cloud, while
the hyst.iders reverefittelly meg, idol their interpretations
of its evolothiria The 7 meant the end. The rot was near
at hand. lii. if they only knew that on this Friday cLht
the end had actually come, and that the Emperor was a pri-
soner in the hands of the enemy ! While the last Inter of
the alphabet meant the end, its transformation into a hone,
the emblem of speed, showed that it would come evently.
But the horse, also, for sottle reason or other, signified
victory, and it was argned that the war would soon end and
victoriously. beat this, however, should not lie distinct
encegli, the cloud proceeded ton second series of demoustra.

Which France still poasessed, and (tom winch the V, or
"victory," would he derived. All this seemed so clear to the
lament°on interpreters that, I doubt not, they all went home
with light hearts, and without any tear of the Prussians or
any ene else.

For Particular, see Mackenzie & Co.'s Circular for June.
RAILWAYS AND MlNES.—Capitaliets who
seek safe and profitable investnients, free from
risk, should set only upon the soundest information.
The market prices for the day are for the most part
governed by the hum, diate supply and demand and the
operations of speculators, without reference to *ltem./
fide merits of the property. Railways depend upon the
traffic, expenditure, and capital accounts, the probabili-
ties of alliance or competition with neighbouring rem.
panics, the creation of new shares, the state of the
money market as effecting the renewal of debentures,
and other considerations, founded on data to which those
only can have access who give special attention to the
subject. Mines afford • wider range fur profit than any
other public securities. The best are free from debt,
have large reserves, and pay dividends bi-monthly or

PARISIAN ENTHUSIASM;

A correspondent, picturing the state of Paris on

the "Chant du Depart." One workman got up on a lamp.
port and led the song with a passionate freedom character-
istic of the Frenchman. Again and again the song was sung,
and yet again and again, and here and there and everywhere
—now in snatches, now in the regularsequence of the verses,
the gestures being always alike—the arms thrown up into
the air with a nuardenity which was only to be tie...lied
by the unanimity of accentustlim to singing. Then csme
the National Guard in sreat numbers across the Place
to the Bridge. Whenever a battalion or a company of the
(Sns.rd appeared they were surrounded by the crowds who
followed them shriiting "Vice he Republique," and chant-
ing the " Marsoillaise." as If to melee the National Guard

that the people were for a republic. The fury and energy
with which they ran after every comt any of soldlers,

all the more so as there was no disorder, no maltreatment
of anyone I smiled; nes could scarcely believe in; eyee—see-

A RITTER DAY FOR FRANCE.

"September 3rd! This has been a momentous day for
Kings awl Powers In times past. The crowning mercy' of
Freedom's reruggle was won by Cromwell's Ironsides on the
bridge at Worcester this day two hundred and nineteen
years. Then fell the csuse of despotism In England, and the
new era began. Will tte date be.. fruitful in France? Lotus
hope that it may be a blessing as great as we won at \ Vor-
center. There are mimes as deep to ersah away here as ever
were committed by poor false Cciarles. But no Cromwell
leads the delverltdi host. The victors march In Heaven's
Irmo, but they call upon the God of battles In a forelen
tongue. September yet, Ib7o, will be a bitter memory for
Fronce, though she owe her salvation to the day."—Daily

NOT EttUAL To THE POSITION.

But, thonch no words OM express our sympathy for
France iii the hour of her sill ction, there is one portion of
the French community which. we regtet ti say, we cannot
include either iu our reo mpathy or iu our admiration.
Throughout the struggle which has already worked such
momentous changes in the destinies of France, the French
Press, almost without exception, has shown itself strangely
delicient both in dignity and discrimination, and, in fact, toe
proved itself to be iglue untiptal to the position which the
journalism of so eullghtentil natioa ought to IiIIBIIUIO In a

COUNT BISINARCK'S TERMS OF
PEACE.

The Correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazale, writing
from Clermont-en-Argonne, Monday, August 29,
says :

Yesterday evening, just after I had posted my letter to
you, I had half an hour's conversation with Count ilianiarck,
and, as his Excellency was well aware that ha was taiking to
your correspondent, and that "anything he sold might be
taken down in writing, and used against hini,"as they say In
the police-courts, I have no hesitation in sending you the
sunstarce of his femarks about the conditions of peace to be
demanded of France. "We might," said the Feocral Chan-
cellor, "form Alsace sod Lorraine into an indepen-
dent neutral State stretching from Luxeitsburg to .S..v itzer-
land. aud so prottc!ing the whole of our western frontier
against France. But who is to guarantee the neu-
trality of such a State Then, too, the people would
be always wanting to return to France, to which they
have so long belorged. As to we onrselvea annexing
Alsace and Lorraine, I do not see the use, far less
the probability, of our doing so. We should have a discon-
tented people to govere, and, besides, mere increase of ter-
ritory has no attractions for German,. But we must have
securities against all attack from France. So long to she
votresses Strasburg the whole of South Germany is at her
mercy; we have no fortress till you get to Vim. Strasburg
therefore, and Metz probably, we shall take and hold per-
silently if our arma are ultimately vict,rnous. Siraaburg
shall he our Gibraltar. You say that the French will hate
us (earl Lilly for taking their two Lest fortresses, and will per-
petually be sicking to revenge themselves. I grant it ; but
it is cer :tin that they are already no enraged against us that
they will endeavour to revenge themselvsa in every p esitsle
way. lhe best thing we can therefore do in the listere.da of
peace is totake the power of doing mischief out of their hunts.
rho Germans insist on that. You say you hope we shall not
mi sidle with Rolland. Itly dear sir, we do not dream of It
the Dutch are not Germans, and German unity is what we
want. I Rasmus you no German dreams of trying to annex
Aland." Count Bismarck then spoke very strongly neatest
the francs.tireure, and pointing to an article from fiactro,
translated in the Pall Mall Goz,tte, aV.c'i he held is Ina
hand, said that on their 0.11 showing an fran,sdireurs
were assassins, and could In nowise be consUlered as forming
part of the regular French army.
I outtht perhaps to state that I In no way sought to "to-
tcrxiew "the Chancellor. lie had expressed a wish to see
the Poll Mall Gazette, English newspapers being rare
articles here, and, on going to coil for thorn, I was Wked to
