GREENWICH.

John James Park-r, a dulling young man, highly con-
nected near Kingadown, Kent, was charged with stealing
an opera glass the property of Mr. Sainsbury, of Black-
heath.
The prisoner called on the 16th tilt at the house of the
prosecutor on pretended business, and was told to wait in
the sitting room in which the opera glass had recently
been seen. On the following Sunday morning it was missed,
and it ins subsequently traced to the shop of Mr. Watts, •
pawalwoker, on the 23rd ult. baring been pledged there
by a person answering the prisoner's description.
Meyer Drukket, a Jew, tarrying on business u a watch-
maker, deposed that on the 21st of July he was accosted
by the prisoner in St. James's Park, who offered to sell
him the duplicates of a watch and open glass, observing
at the same time that he was just starting off to Australia.
They walked together to Charing-eras, when witness gave
him Ave shillings for the two tickets, one of which war for
the opera-glass prodaoed, which kis brother (who was now
at Rotterdam) went to the pawnbroker's to redeem, bat on
the ticket of the watch being taken to a pawnbroker's in
Oxford-street, it turned oat that the only thing pledged in
the name upon the duplicate was • draught-board.
Pollee-sergeant Bine, 52 A, apprehended the prisoner in
St. James' .park, from a description given by the last wit-
ness, and on taking him to the station he denied all know-
ledge of the robbery, or of having had the ticket of an
opera-glass in his possession. On searching the prisoner
four other duplicates were found in the lining of his hat.
The depositions were then taken, and the witnesses bound
over to prosecute the ease at the neat Old Bailey sessions ;
Mr. Seeker, however, remanding the prisoner for a week in
order to obtain the evidence of the brother of Meyer
Drnkker.

MARYLEBONE.

Jobs Hoitingshed, a genteelly dressed young man, was
charged with having stolen a quantity of silver plate, value
1301., the property of his master, Mr. Jas. Tilyer Blunt, of
No. 3, Dorset-square.
The prosecutor said—The prisoner has lived with me as
footman, and as I was about to leave town I was manes to
look over the plate and proposed that I should do so last
Thursday. At the prisoner's request I postponed it until
Saturday, on the afternoon of which day, upon my going
home, I meertained that prisoner bed absconded. I imme-
diately went to the plate chest, and missed therefrom a
great deal of the valuable property which it had contained,
and, upon making the discovery 'ditty loss, I gave informa-
tion thereof to the pollee.
Sergeant Kelly, b T—At 6 yesterday evening I was on
duty at Brook-green, Hammersmith, when the prisoner
told me that he wanted to give himself up for pledging Mr.
Blunt's plate, at the same time alleging that he was very
sorry for what he had done. He had with him a female,
whom he said was his wife. I eastheyed hint in a cab to
the Molyneuz Station (D division), where he was locked
u Sergeant Bushell, 9 D, produced no fewer than 43 dig&
cotes relating to the property which had been pledged. Mr.
Blunt had found them In a drawer in the pantry.
The property was then produced by fourteen pawnbrokers
and identified by Mr. Blunt.
The prisoner said he much regretted what he had done,
and that he should be able to produce money in a short
time so that he might take the things out of pledge.
Mr. Broughton told him that he would be committed for
trial for the robbery, but he would be brought up again
on Tuesday neat, 17th inst., when the whole of the deposi-
tions would be read over.
While the prisoner was being conveyed from Hammer-
smith to llolyneux station-house, he told the officer that
betting upon race bad brought him Into all his trouble.

A PARTY OF PLF.ASURIL FOR AUKTRALIA.—Among
the passengers who went out to Australia in the mad
steamer Formosa, which left Southampton on Saturday,
were twe gentlemen of that town, who went out in her on
pleasure, and intend returning to England immediately.
One of the gen•lemen took his wife with him ; the other
only made up his mind to go in her a day or two before she
sailed, and as soon es he did et be went and paid hie 90
guineas for a ant-class berth. Fancy men going on a plea-
sure trip to the antipodes, and gt tting to the end of their
, voyage in ten weeks ! Truly we live in an age of marvels.
The fact that is just mentioned is of considerable signifi-
cance, as it shows that people are beginning to think that a
voyage to Australia is no very great effort after all. Neat

HAYMARKET.

The Adelphi company Si, playing ~this week at the
Haymarket, but the migration acronsTrandiar-square is pro-
verbially iesultless, as far as • change in the "animus"
goes. Lot night a new "Adelphi piece" was produced,
perfect in the heterodox unities insisted ;upon for that corn.
polite and adventurous species of drama; and we conclude
the Adelphi audience followed the Adelphi troupe, for the
"screamer" was taken as a matter of course, and in the
pit were to be observed none of those startled looks which
would have betrayed the Haymarket habitud.
In describing an Adelphi piece, it is only necessary to
enumerate the thingidone on the stage, partly by design,
but a good deal by accident, by the great actors and
actresses who personally constitute "the Adelphi," and
' heed the departments of its historical school. In this new
' drama, the conspicuous aim of the constructors (it is the
eoombined production of the Meson. Morton) has been to
give the great ladies and gentlemen plenty to do—barna°.
nionsly, if possible, but, at say rats, plenty to do; and the
effect is, lots of bustle—sometimes to no particular end—and
a brisk individual advance to some possible grouped tableau
dependent very much upon • chance contrivance to bring
isolated and antagonistic "characters" into co-operation to-
wards any sort of plot. The plot is the thing of the
least importance in such • piece, and is not thought of
till towards the last few scenes. What is of paramount ne-
cessity is to keep Messrs. Wright and Bedford in motion,
a villain or two at work at the same time, and to have Mire
Woolgar perpetually popping in and out, while a young
lady in white and love, and • young gentleman In black
and ditto, are awaiting the dinouement at the beak, and
killing time by wriaging of hands and periodical silent em•
braces every five minutes. Effect all this; give to each
artist ample scope for filling in the author's margin. and
success is certain. At least such is the piece produced last
night, and its success is unquestionable.
Remembering "Adelphi" necessities, and what Is aimed
at in such a pi eduction, the authors must be allowed great
ability. The character of Oliver, the pivot of the piece, is
forcibly drawn, and Mr. 8. Emery sets it boldly, roughly,
and effectively, making tbe most of the situations. Miss
Woolgar was delightful; and Mr. Bedford was Mr. Bed-
ford. Of Mr. Wright we will observe it is to be regretted
that, halfway from the Adelphi to Oxford-street, he did
not practise leaving of those semi-indecencies of his wit
which are humidor's even with an Adelphi public away
from the Strand.

BELGIUM.

Count Haussonville and M. Alexandre Thomas,
editors of the Bulletin Francais, wore arrested at
Brussels on the evening of the 17th, at a house in
the Rue de Sole. On the 19th they were released,
on undertaking to leave at once for Ostend, and there
embark for London. As is usual at this period of
the year, a long list of promotions in the army is
gazetted.
The Peeve of Paris says :—" More intimate rela-
tions are expected between Belgium and Russia.
The Emperor Nicholas will, it is said, send a minis-
ter 'plenipotentiary to Brussels, and consent to a
treaty of commerce with Belgium." The dismissal
of the Polish officers is a preliminary of these
arrangements.

BERLIN, Fes. 17.
To-day, the Upper Chamber was occupied with a
debate on the new communal law, with which the

conduct of the government, in lately convoking un-
constitutionally the old provincial estates, was die-
cussed. Nothing was done. Ministers took high
ground, as usual, and denied that the Chambers had
any business with the question. " I stand here,"
said M. Manteuffel, " not at the call of any party,
but by the command of the King, and while ho so
orders thus shall I obey."
At a cabinet council held on the 15th, by the King,
the proposed reconstitution of the First Chamber, and
a letter from the King of the Belgians, concerning the
confiscation of the Orleans property, were taken
into consideration. Tho Prince of Ligne, who brought
the paid letter, has already proceeded to Vienna on
a similar mission.
The dearth in some parts of Prussia is causing in-
creased uneasiness. The import duty on rye, 4s. 3d.
per quarter, prevents timely importation.
There is a report of an intention to adjourn the
Chambers from 15th March to 15th April.

TILE PRINCE PLAGIARY.

In this country, where the works of tho French
socialists are but little consulted, Louis Napoleon has suc-
ceeded in acquiring • reputation for originality in the con
eeption of his recent policy to which ho has in reality no
title. A foreign contemporary has collected, from the
" Icaria " of M. Cabet, a few passages the parallelism of
which with Louis Napoleon's decrees is most instructive.
Thus, in the romance composed to illustrate his system of
socialism, Cabet makes his hero, Icarus, arrive at supreme
power by a coup critat. The new ruler issues an address to
the nation, in which he announces himself as the saviour of
society, and enacts universal suffrage (" Voyage en Icarie,'
Paris edition of 1818, p. 337). Until the nation has spoken
he constitutes himself dictator, and surrounds him-
self with • consultative commission (p. 338). There-
upon he establishes • national guard, and deter-
mines who of the nation shall possess arms (p. 338).
The fallen statesmen and chief officials are banished
(p. 339). Be now publishes the electoral law, and recom-
mends candidates to the people (311). Before the repre-
sentatives an meet he publishes the constitution (p. 313.)
Of the property he has confiscated learn bestows • largess
of five hundred million francs upon the working classes,
and sets aside one hundred millons of the same for public
education. The elections now take place—" few intnguen
of the old government have the hardihood to present them-
selves as candidates : in many towns the electors are com-
pelled to the election of proper men (p. 348)r. Among
the particular laws are these :—" Freedom of the press does
not exist in learn." " There exists but one notional
journal, and ono provincial Journal is permitted in each
province. These journals may not publish more than the
protocol of the Legislative Assembly and official communi-
cations; criticism isTorbidden" (p. 329.) If these speci-
mens, compared with the decrees of the ►ast two months,
do not exhibit M. Louis Napoleon in the light of an ori-
ginal inventor, they at least speak much for bill diligence
and fidelity as &student.

VERDICT IN TUE CASE OP THE MANILLA MlT-

trading between Hartlepool and Hong Kong, three others
of whom it was reported had died from want of sufficient
food and attendance, and a want of lime juice and vinegar
when they were attacked with scurry.—The evidence hav-
ing been summed up by the coroner, the jury consulted for
about half-an-hour, and then returned the following
verdict We find • verdict of manslaughter against
Captain William Holmes. We think also that the evidence
of the officers of the ship is not to be relied on, and that
they did not fully do their duty."

PARTIAL DESTRUCTION OF TRINITY-HALL

BY FIRE.

[The following appeared in the larger portion of our
impression of yesterday] :
CAMBRIDGE, FRIDAY, 11 A.Y.
At six o'clock this morning a fire broke out in the
rooms of /Ir. Nunn, of Trinity-hall, which are situate on
that side of the college facing Trinity-lane. We believe
that this gentleman's gyp, entering the rooms, discovered
the fire by the 'make, whilst his master was still sleeping.
Trinity Hall is situated on the bids of the Cam, and
approached by the Senate-house Passage, and is surrounded
on all aides by the collegiate buildings. Tho college itself
is built of atone; bat the roof is high and peaked, and
consequently consists of highly inflammable material. It
may, therefore, be considered fortunate in a high degree
that the conflagration was confined to the limits of the col-
legiate institution in which it broke out.
In Cambridge, in addition to en efficient fire-brigade, the
various insurance societies have always fire•engines in
readiness for contingencies of this nature, so that
an the first alarm an efficient force was at the
spot. From its contiguity to the river there was
a constant supply of water to feed the fire en-
gins, which soon commenced to play upon the flames,
worked by enthusiastic bands of undergraduates, who,
se a body, ever creditably distingiush themselves
on these occasions. The hearty and persevering in-
dustry manifested by most present ultimately controlled
the raging element, and the destruction is confined to the
eastern side of the quadrangle. The massive stone walls
still stand, though the roof and floorings have long since
fallen in. At the time I write the engines are still playing
upon the smouldering ashes. All danger is at an end.

A 'sinful and distressing case was beard is the
Belfast police court, oa Saturday ; some Femme
who had bees passengers on board an Andrea...-
on, the MiUsh, bound from Belfast to New Task
being the plaintiffs, tad Mr. T. Quin, emigration
agent, defendant. It appeared that the ship, whit&
came to Belfast with grain, was hired for a
with emigrants to America, and was suffered
part with 133 passengers, and a crew of 13 on hosed,
with only a very slight and imperfect examination,
and a deficient supply of water and other neemearies.
They. were scarcely removed from land, when the
email-pox appeared on board, and before they were
many days out, some fifty of the pamengera were
airs. The Ail) only got as far as Waterford, when it
put back, and again entered Belfast Lough. The pot-
tage money was returned to such of the emigrants as
applied for it, and the magistrates told the com-
plainants that much as they felt the hardship of the
ease, they were unable to give them any remedy.

CHAS WORKHOUSE.

Yesterday, at a fully attended vestry meeting of the
parish of St. Penns, held iu the vestry hall, King's-road, '
Camden-town, Dr. Gregor, moved the following resolution:
That it appearing from the minutes of the board of direc-
tors that Mr. Ewen, master of the St. Pancras workhouse,
has forfeited their confidence, and that they recommend
the vestry to declare the situation of master vacant, the
vestry resolves that the services of Mr. Eaton he dispensed
with on and after the 211th of March next." Dr. Gregory
then entered into perticalan relative to a correspondence
which had been going on between Mr. Hall, one of the
poor law inspectors, and Mr. Eaton, the existence of which
the latter had denied. lk had on former occasions done
all in his power to defend the master from the yarning
charges which had been brought against him ; but now he
felt convinced, after the manner in which Mr Eaton had
prevaricated, that he was no longer worthy the confidence
of the parish, and we, unfit for the responsible duties of
master of that workhouse.—Mr. Martinelli having seconded
' the motion, the maser was called in, and stated that he
had merely written to Mr. Hall as a private friend, not in ,
his official capacity at the four-law Board. He did not
deny having received a letter from that gen-
tleman, fur lie showed it to Mr. Baker, the
churchwarden, the day it arrived. lie applied to
Mr. Hall for advice how to act with regard to the orders
and regulations given him by the vestry and the board of
directors, which were contradictory to each other. If he
carried out the former, which he was under • heavy bond
to do, he disobeyed the latter • in this dilemmis lie applied
to Mr. Hall, who had enclosed him • copy of the rules and
regulations issued by the Peor-law Board, and which ho
was informed he was bound to act up to. lie had dine
much to improve the workhouse, notwithstanding all the
impediments thrown in his way • there was no other muster
of a `earkhouse in England so shackled and hound as lie lied
been. The master having retired, a long discussion ensued,
in which Mr. Healey, Mr. Fraser, Mr. Manning, Mr. ill-
' lett, Mr. Berminnbam, and other members, took part,
meet of them denying that the Poor-law Board had any
power to issue orders sr regulations for the guidance of the
pariah. When put to the vote, the numhces were—For the
dismissal, IA; against it, 4: majority, 46. The master was
then called in, and informed that, after the 2ith of March,
his services would he dispensed with.

EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING,

,

AUSTELL
The Viennesswearadeateef tbedstreass Geer&
mad the Nee Promos Gassills state that M. Baum-
gartner, the WSW IMMO /sioister, has pro-
posed to use sash the
ments of anof which he
would have coadeeted by an eseretary of state
leaving only a hind et personal Wes existing be:
tween the two ministries. The Berlin journal adds
that the proposition has been submitted to a com-
mittee composed of eight mashers of the Imperial
council, five of whom declared their opinions to be
adverse to the proposed arrangement. The decision
of the Emperor is not known, but it is stated that
M. Baumgartner has declared that his retention of
office is contingent upon its adoption.
The Atagebtay Gazette states, in contradiction of
the Berlin, Leipzig, and Hamburg papers, that the
fourth Austrian army corps now in Holstein, will
not be withdrawn before the expiration of two
months, nor will it then be dissolved.

Athens journals to the 7th have arrived. They
announce the retirement of M. Aleletopouloe, Minis-
ter of tho Interior, M. Bambinos, Minister of Justice,
and M. Barboglis, Minister of Public Worship
and Justice ; and state that they are re-
placed by M. Ihmapoulce, deputy of Argos, in
the Interior, M. Provilegioa, deputy of Milos, in Jus-
tice, and M. Stravos %lithos, deputy of Athens, in
Public Worship and Instruction.
The Clairrier d Athens says:
Letters from Patras state that the growers of currants,
and landowners in general, are in the greatest distress.
Money is rare, commerce suffering, and the merchants who
ordinarily made them advances fur the cultivation of their
vines refuse this year to lend them the smallest sum of
money. This state of things, joined to the sensible fall in
the price of Corinth currants, has caused the l►ndowners
residing at Patina to address to the ministry a petition,
calling on it in pressing terms to demand from the British
government a diminution of the entrance duties. It is
much to be wished that the English cabinet, in its kindness
to Greece, sad with the view of giving greater extension to
the relations of commerce between the two states, shall
adopt this measure, which can alone p►eserve the most im-
portant clam of our producers from inevitable ruin.

ARRIVAL OF MEN-OF-WAR FROM THE

TAGUS.

It will be seen by the letter of our Dublin corre-
spondent that news had arrived in that city yester-
day of the arrival in Cork harbour of six of our ships- I
of-war from the Tagus. Others were expected.
This response to a popular demand, first uttered in
the columns of this journal, will be regarded with
satisfaction by the entire country. The recall of
these vessels-of-war is a step towards giving to our
coasts the security we need. The question now is
whether we have ships enough within hail.—Daily

Bordeaux to Angouleme may be opened in about
three months from this time. Between Angouleme
and Poitiers the works en several points have been emn-
menced. The Conrrier de In Gironde states that the pro-
jected railway from Bordeaux to Bayonne, with a branch
on that of 'few., has been the subject oiserious conside-
ration in the otters of the minister of public works, and a
part of the difficulties which had presented themselves have
been removed. MM. J. Nathaniel Johnston and Pereira,
two of the directors of the Teste Railway, have left Bor-
deaux for Paris to push on this affair. There is a talk,
lays the Cormier du lino?, of the approaching concession
of the railway from l'sris to Cherbourg. It will, it
Is said, branch off from the Paris and Rouen line near
