AUSTRIA AND POLAND.

The establishment of the state of siege in Galicia
allows the Austrian authorities to make searches
and to seize arms destined to be introduced into
the kingdom of Poland. The chanceries of Lem-
berg, Cracow, and Warsaw have received orders to
constantly exchange communications and to mutu-
ally assist each other. Five Austrian agents have
been sent to Warsaw to assist General Tre-
poff in the discovery of the Polish national
organisation, and K Osten-Sacken has, on
his part, placed at the disposal of the Austrian
government five Russian agents, who are to assist
the police of Lemberg and Cracow in discovering
the principal delegates of the national government
in Galicia. The Poem Journal announces that the
Austrian authorities have prohibited the journals
of Galicia, placed under the rfgime of the state of
siege, from publishing any news of the insurrection
emanating from a Polish source. Thus for the last
few days no important accounts relative to the
situation of the Poles is to be found either in the
Chuila of Cracow, or in the Gazeta ifarodowa of
Lemberg.

Tao men, named .Me Nary sad Janie* ii4rrff, the
:atkr paralysed, were brought before Mr. Kowa, charged
nth destroying their own clothes wham in St. George's
Workhouse.

Mr. Rogers attended to prosecute on the part of the
:atLorities of St. George's parish.
The appearsoce of the men in court ceased a good deal of
reiterneat and not • little merriment, in which the prisoners
They were both attired in brown linen canvas
sod certainly presented a most grotesque spectacle-
Mr. Rogers said he wished to state, as this was the first
'me that miscasts charged with destroying their clothing
Lal appeared before the magistrates at that court in the
2:1112.112 which the prisoners appeared, that, in coosequirose
f tt.r great increase of the offence, the authorities had ex-
.:Pael all the stock of clothing, and had felt bound to con.
what steps could be taken with the view of checking
qt, casual poor destroying their clothing. They had, there-
',re adopted the kind of clothing the prisoners were then
wearing:

34.knox was hound to nay that for some time past he
!Lai nut sat a day without having charges of a similar kind
r..,:ht before him, and that the offesoe was on the in-
, tease. With regard to the parish of St. George's he had

t 4 ire poor brought before him. As far as the mos
li!bLerd was concerned it was known that he could have
a1I::ed for admission if he thought proper, as the over-
seer vu in attendance from 9 o'clock till 6. In what the
.Lthorities had done he could not say they had adopted an
.t.,troper course, but he (Mr. Knox) would advise that it
5h0,..1.1 be done with diacrionaatios, and not adopted
t,mards everybody.
Mr. Rogers mid the casual poor were supplied with food
night and morning. and there was a bath provided for
to cleanse themselves if they thought proper to do so.
Mr KDOI asked whether there was any doubt about
il.tierd being paralysed ; and one of the officers of the
c,rt said there was ant.
Mr. Knox said he should sent Kelly for 21 days' hard
laboir. and Hibberd could go back to the workhouree, and if
I,Yoree's was his parish he would be admitted. He
hot- d the authorities would Roamed in checking the offence.
Mr. Bogen said the new canvas clothing was exhibited in

It may be stated that as many as five persons have been
1-..rved at tl,:, court daily, for destroying their clothing Ia

ROYAL ALHAMBRA CIRCUS.

The programme at this popular place of amuse-
meat has been entirely changed, M. Franceei's Freed
company of equestrians having bean cheesed for a German
company under the direction of M. Francois Laird. IL
Loisset is one of those oosmopolitan gentlemen peculiar le
circuses, wbo, though born in France, belong a little to
every country ; and his well-deserved fame as an equestrien
director and rider of the "high school" bee been earned by
hard work for marry years throughout Germany and the
Netherlands. His company is large and well selected, being
particularly strong in clever dashing ladies of great per-
sonal attraction, and in precocious infante. The hones
appear to be well-trained and in good condition, and all the
appointments sae characterised by much taste. The appear-
ance of the ring-masters, dressed in something like full Prus-
sian cavalry uniform, had a most brilliant effect, and even
the clowns, of which there are three or four, including the
well-known Mr. Croueste, late of the Adelphi, hal some-
thing of glittering novelty imparted to their ocetnnis.

The first performance last night was remarkably free
I from blemiabes, and it introduced many equestrians who
will at once become eatablithed favourites. First amongst
these was au esgsgiog child called "little Chiutilde, ' •
niece of the director, who opened the programme with
• very spirited vaulting act. Next in point of sitcoms was
• French equestrian game—a race after ribbons attached to
the shoulders, executed with great skill mad neatness by
three ladies, named Emma, Pezold, and Bede°. M. Loire&
exhibited a spleedid "trick-horse," and went through an act
of "high" ri&ne—maisaging two fine horses, one ridden sod
the other driven, with equal snoops. A charming
Master Charles Thompson--etated in the bills to be only six
seen old—gathered • perfect harvest of oranges foe a
clever Bioedin performance on the low rope ; and Meseta
Franck and Ifelhing—tbe Brat on the the
second on the horizontal bar ("Tared' faeliim)—
much
—d applause for their exhibition of mason-
cpower. The " star-rider" of the company
to be Miss Louise Loisse.—• lady who takes every
overa7
whether a dozen sheets or through fifty hoops, withou
any false bounds or hesitation. The whole performance k
remarkable for its pleasant and varied character—for stele,
precision, and rapid move:mot Every member of the
company was most warmly received by a very crowded and
• very eathusiastic audience.

THE POLICE COURT&

GyILDHALL.

(konyre Swindon, aged f 40, • blacksmith, was brought up
as remand, in the custody of Police-constable John -Lewis,
262, before Mr. Aldermaa Hale, charged with stealing •
shim de:eater, veins U., the property of Henry Isaacs, of
26, Skinser-street, Snow-hill. He was also charged with
attempting to strangle himself whilst in the cell of the
Smithfield police-station. The evidence as to the stealing
was so concludes that the prisoner did not attempt to deny
it, and in fact said that he took it in order that he might
make as much as much as be could by its sale. He was
evidently not in his right mind, and was remanded. On his
being again brought up, • medical certificate was pro-
duced, which stated that he bad been 'offering
from delirium tremens, which he had recovered
from. Whilst copepod in the police-oell be attempted to
strangle himself with his pocketbandkerchid, and bad it
not bees for the vigilance of the police *Moen at the sta-
tion he would have succeeded, as it was., it was with great
difficulty that he was recovered.
The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, made •
rambling statement, sad said that be was cemented by
many persons who were always around him, though not then
present, and that he had tried to strangle himself in order
that he might free himself from them. He should do the
same
Mr. Hale said that the prisoner's mind was
evidently still affected by the drink, and he thought the
most lenient course he could pursue would be to give the
prisoner 21 day,' imprisonment, during which time be would
sot have the opportunity of obtaining intoxicating liquors,
sad would also have the benefit of medical aid should he
require it in restoring him to • proper state of health.

SURREY.

A new melodrama, called a Fight with Fete,
with an &binderies of striking mechanical sad sneak effects,
was prodnoed at this theatre on Saturday night. It ia
founded on a play that has moistly been popular is Paris,
and it served to introduce Mr. Shepherd to the ►udiwoe.
While Mr. Anderson represents the legitimate element in
the management, Mr. Shepherd avowedly represent& the
old Surrey style of drama, sod between the two the patrons
of the theatre get a very varied entertainossat The Fight
with Rate was almost too twig for human Wismar, but it
was very well sated by the oompsey, sad Mr. Shepherd, Mr.
Fernandes, Hr. Vollaire, and Mr. Felix Ragas specially
distinguished themselves. The characters, with one
exception, are adapted with &rabbit names, which
is always an advantage, sad the story, which s
fairly interesting, allows of the ietroduotion of a ship on Ere
at sea. This effect—the great effect of the drama—wee
excellently managed and loudly applauded. The comic
characters are two mile= and a monkey, who are always
sure to predate ooneiderable amassers% sod if t►e play is
trimmed down at least one-third, it will sail with much
more chance of a good voyage. ♦ new comedy by Mr.
Anderson, is announced.

BEEP AT THREEPENCE A POUND.

About a year ago a commission wag formed for
Ow introduction into Greet Britain of the South American
Perked beef. The commission included the names
of some of the leading merchants of London, Stan-
abater, Liverpool, and Glasgow, and the results of the
experiment are now before us, la Neste Video, and other
districts of South America, the greases are so rich that
Ash meat has become a nuisance to the natives. It was
fought, therefore, that if the surplus meat could be in.
traduced into this country, the poorer classes, to whom
betoken' meat is a positive luxury, might more frequently
indulge in a wholesome and nutritious meal. The experi-
ment, so far, has been perfectly successful, the importa-
tions having increased from 93,436,000 lbs. in 1833 to
ri5.000,000 in 18si3 ; and this had found a ready cm-
eramp!ion is the manufacturing and mining diadem, and is
Baptised and Ireland, where it has been retailed at 3d. per
pound. The " jerked " beef is prepared from the choicest
parts of the animal. The flesh is cut into flakes, dipped in
brine, and dried in the sun. When stetted in water for
cooking it increases threefold in weight and thickness. Full
instructioes for its preparation have been issued by the
eommission, and dinners have been given to the working
damns in Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Dublin, on which occa.
rims the highest testimony to the palatable and nutritious
qualities of this new article of food have been
ens by the municipal ant scientific authorities. it is
mid to be capable of being so highly cooked as to be a de-
licious relish for the rich : while for the poor man's table,
simply prepared, it is healthful and invigorating food.
Being entirely without bone, it is elm:ally adapted for
]risk stews, haricots, &c. At the experimental dinner gives
at Glasgow, Dr. Star...lead stated that there could be se
doubt the meat was perfectly wholesome, acid that, if it
Would be brought into general consumption, at 3d. per
puled, working men would be enabled to have a good
piece of meat in the pot any day he liked ; and Dr. Guth-
rie rejoiced in this effort to bring this product of another
part of the globe to where it would be of essential service to
60 working poor. If the working was could be supplied
with good solids like those they bad tasted, he would be ladle
Rely to meddle with baneful drinks. At the working

men, and their opinions are fortified by scientific examisa.

SOP INTELLIGENCE.

Cayrs.lousy, Ocr. L—Picking has now termi-
nated, but the balk of the last picked hope has been
spoiled by the weather, some of them to an extent that
would have prevented their being picked it the duty had
not been repealed. The entire crop avenges about 7 cwt.
per acre, but fully cue-third of the hops ere of the poorest
poetible quality. For seroodary and inferior hoes the trade
3S very flat, and prices are lower ,• bat for choice. qualities
there is an improved inquiry at advancing min. Saes have
been made this week at 94 lOs. per cwt., and 91. Ihs. pow
cwt. has been offered lied refused. At the market to-&T
there has ben .in a large display of samples, but most of
them represent lot. of inferior quality and in p wadi.
tion. The growers of the best ho are to wait a
week or two before putting their produce on the market, as
they fully sate:Spam higher prices. Good hops have found
buyers to-day at 81. to 91. per cwt., and choice qualities at
still higher rates. In oce Matinee 101. was offered for a
, large lot, but refused. Inferior Feat Keats are unsaleable.
Weald and Mid Keats remain about the same as last week.

Noeta Norte, Om. L —Throughout the hop growing
district of North Notts the hop harvest is now °occluded.
The yield is very far from satisfactory, owing, principally,
to the seven frosts io June, and also to the loog-continued
drought. The growers were genuine of a better crop ►fter
the few welcome showers of ran, which certainly improved
the plant, but the result of the hop•picking shows a serious
deficiency.

[Stamped, ld. Additional.]

The owe resented to the spectator yesterday was of a
most singular description. The heaps of brickwork and
'barred timbers lying in all directions, the rains of the
manager's house and of two or three hovels that stood near,
the large working parties of moldier' in all directions, the
mounted °Mears controlling their operations, the pickets
stationed for a mile round the marshes, the camp lira for
cooking the sailor of the men, the 'Gooding of the bugles
at interval., and the long trains of artillery waggons stand-
ing about in all directions, gave the place every appearance
of the entry of an army into a village after a snare
bombardment.

The number of persons who yesterday visited the scene of
destruction was enormous, and the police estimate that at
least 100,000 persona ware piesent during the day. From,
an early boor in the morning until dusk long trains came in
from the London-bridge station, crammed to suffocation,
while frequent trains from Maidstone, Strood, Chatham,
Rochester, Grandma, Dartford, and other places on the
North Kent line, deposited.their thousands at the Erith
station. Long after dark the platform and grounds of
the Belvedere and Erith stations were crowded with thou-
sands of people waiting to be conveyed homewards. Neither
at Belvedere nor Erith, after three o'clock in the afternoon,
wee refreshment of any description obtainable, and such wu
the rush at the public-houses, that the proprietors deemed
it prudent entirely to close them soon after that hour.
This, combined with the tedious'es of veldt some hours
ter the kolas, was the 01111118 Of great cootusion unceget the
assembled thousands, and the police, of whom there was •
strong form present, bad much difficulty in preserving any-
thing like order. Never before was such a scene exhibited
in the usually quiet localities of Erith and Belvedere as was
to be seen yesterday, • large portion of thou sasembled
being some of the wont portion of the London east end
" roughs" who are in their element in such scenes Si
those of yesterday, and whose riotous and disorderly on-
duct added 'gristly to the ooninsioo. What the scene
would be when it became quite dark, under these circum-
stances, may be easily imagined.
Upon inquiry at Gay's Hospital last night at 9 o'clock, it
Appian that of the nine persons brought in there, two are
dead: one, Elizabeth Wright, aged 13, who died almost
immediately after admission on Saturday morning ; and
James Eves, who died yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. A
third sufferer, named Elias Osborne, aged eight years, pre-
sents • pitiable spectacle, her face, head, and bands being
frightfully lacerated. She is not expected to survive the
night. The other six are all going on favourably, and no
fatal result is apprehended iu these cases.

WESTYLNSTER.
• - -

Mr. Henry Fidler, whokee the refreshment-rooms at
the Crystal Palace station, Victoria, was summoned for
serving persons, not being travellers, at prohibited hours.
Evidence was given by the police to show that at twenty
minutes to 1 on the 18th, ten minutes before the train went
off to the Crystal Palace. 30 persons were served,
whom were five who did not go away by the train.
cross-examination by Mr. Child, the police could not
say whether persona were refused refreshment be-
cause they were not travellers. Mr. Child said
that this refreshment-room was established exclusively
for the accommodation of travellers by the railway, and
every precaution was and to prevent any other than
travellers being served ; and while he could ahoy that guards
and other persons connected with the railway were refused,
he mast declare that if any other than travellers were
nerved it was purely by accident. The money-boxes were
not opened until half-put twelve, at which time the com-
pany, whose servant Mr. Fisher really was, had ordered the
refreshment rooms to be opened, and the proprietor was
necessarily deemed free from imposition by the feet that
unman could not ester the premises without deceiving the
officers of the company into the belief that they were going
by the train, the premises being enclosed. Amount the
throng of passengers who premed into the refreshment-room,
it was impossible to inquire and ascertain if they all were
ponengerv. Mr. Selfe thought the question one of consider-
able difficulty, and took time to consult his colleague Mr.
Arnold upon the subject.
