Bra,—ln the Timed article of yesterday on the
Newspaper Press Fund, doubt is expired as to the urgent
neoessity for any such fund. It would only be sufficient
to rest the ease on the same peered neassity that exits is
other prestigious ; but what is thee said on the subject in-
duces me to mention • recent special cue with which I
happen to have been closely cooneeted. Three or four
years ago a respectable salaried reporter on •
Landes daily newspaper suddenly became paralysed while
&dully engaged in reporting • bank meetieg—it wan, I
believe, • ass of cerebral paralysis—beieg at the time oely
• little over 30 years of age, and Ise has ever Pees remained
incapacitated for earning • livelihood. His realised means
beteg. without any fault on his part, very small, I made an
appeal ea hi behalf, °biddy, though not exclusively, to
members of the press, and had the satidastion of collecting,
in Ulna ranging from 10/. to li. &1., nearly 901., by the
jodicions appliotion of whisk he was plaited in • position to
command at all sweats the necessaries of life, whereas with-
out nosh aid be must have been reduced to • state of desti-
tution. This case, as I will show just now, is by no means
• solitary one on the press, though it is not in
every such isslases that 901., or onafourth part of that
amount, could be raised in the way of charity, however de-
serving might be the party concerned. Hence the necessity
of • picoansot charitable fund, judiciously administwed
by persons who are shove the supicioe of having en eye to
say personal beeefit. Let me sow further state that I can
meal fair or five cans that have occurred within the last
few years is which parliamentary reporters of the Time
became paralysed in the prime of life, sod remained perms-
neatly dished. The fact that is most, if not all, of theft
owe, the proprietors of the Tines, out of their
superabeadset resources. supported or sedated these
individuals in their salsessitoos politic, is surely no maws
why there should be eo charitable provision for others who
euld not reasonably or fairly expect to obtain such a pro-
wling. from their employers.
I ascot help adding that the idea of • body of men like

boo preposterous to require serious refutation. Reporters
are too numerous, and the benefit in quake is too=
for each as insidious objection to have any real

abased his position either for or easiest a speaker,
the pmaishaset would be instant and eroehig : he would

no one can will to become a recipient, and for myself I

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, FRIDAY Evistso.

This has been a glorious session for the deputies
in the point of view of pay. In consequence of,
the repeated prolongations, extending the ordinary
constitutional duration of the session from three
months to seven, every deputy will have received
the handsome sum of 17,500 fr.
According to rumours, which produced a bad
effect at the Bourse and find an echo in the even-
ing papers, the prospects of the conference are less
promising than they were thought to be
yesterday. The Germans mean to make a
great stand about Kiel and Rendsburg as
Federal fortresses, and contend that if Hol-
stein and Southern Skew* are to become
purely German territory, as the arrangement pro-
poses, neither England nor any power has a
right to make conditions as to the use that may be
made of any of the ports. Although the Pays gave
it to be understood yesterday that France was
agreed with England upon this point, some of the
papers now affect to believe it impossible that Eng-
land's desire to maintain her preponderance in the
Baltic and prevent Germany from having a navy,
can be encouraged. The Nation goes so far as to
say that this new question threatens to "'compro-
mise the efforts made by diplomacy to maintain
peace."

Rente fell 20c. for cash and 10c. for account,
closing at 66fr. 60c. and 66fr. 70c. Mobilier fell
20fr. There was a sudden and heavy fall in the
Mexican loan, which declined from 60 to 581.
The extraordinary thing is that the quotation in
London is 63k, so that there is 5 per cent. difference
between the two markets. The decision of the
London Stock Exchange prevents French holders
of the stock from benefitting by London prima.
M. de Flotow, brother of the eminent composer
of Marta, committed suicide last week at his
country seat, Friedricbswald, near Blankenberg.
He was rich and in the prime of life.

SADLER'S WELLS.

A very clever burlesque of the Bohemia» Girl,
a subject which has strangely seamed our ordinary extra.
raglan writers, was produced at this hones ma Saturday
night, under the title of Arline, the loaf child, or the Pole
the Policeman, and the Polar Bear. The authors are
Messrs. leery Bellingham and William Beet. Their pro-
dactiou merited a better theatre and a better company to
do justice to it. No local theatre is so thoroughly *ban-
doesd and drearyas Sailer'/ Wells In lUMMIIIt j and even in
winter, Once Mr. Phelps's departure, it rails to compete
with the adjacent Grecian, where pieces of all kinds have
long been as well acted and as well mounted as they are at
any West-end theatre. People wbo take Sadler's Wells trade
too moth on its historical reputation, and seem to
suppose that they have only to open it to fill it. When
they find they are mistaken, they attribute their failure to
the reputed puritanical character of the neighbourhood,
though lalingtort and Cierksawell are districts quite as
riotous and sportive as Soho or dt. Martia's-in.the fields.
We shall doubtless sae Arline &gala at some other theatre
under more favourable circumstances than we saw it on

Saturday. What success it had before a scanty audience was
mainly due to the forcible burlesque acting and dancing of
• Mr. T. W. Neale, as Devilaboot, and the exertions of
Mr. lasacsoo, who ocrampossd, imaged, ►nd conducted the
music.

SHOCKING CASE IN BETHNAL-GREEN.

This morning Mr. John Humphreys, therMidclie-
au coroner, reared %formation or the discovery of the
body of a child in its mother's room, under circumstance' of
a oharsetar of a very extraordinary nature.
It a that yesterday (Solider) moroing the attention
of Poi ble Wm. Golly, 97 H. was directed to the
state of No. 5, Warne-place, Bethnal-gross. Some ti mats
ieformed him that the occupants of the tap room of the
hose. in question bad not been seen sacs Tuesday lut.
The police constable proceeded to the house in-
dicated. and found it to consist of only two rooms
—one built over the over. Upon enterieg the top
room he saw • soma, appnetly years of age, lying a
a bed near the window. TTwo young children were also in
the room. One of them was about 9 year. old, and the
other was between 3 and 4 years old. The room was
wretchedly (washed, and there was cam chair in it. The
woman maid, " I bare had nothing to eel mince Thursday ;
then all I bad wee ono egg. I have bees without food
beanie I we. ill and enabie to work." The paire-constable
thew searched the room, and under the bed discovered a deal
box, about two feet long. In the box wee felted the body
of a full-timed, well-developed child. The lower part of its
body was dreadfully burnt. The legs were scorched. The
Deck bore the appearance of having had something tied
rotted it. The mother said to the police-coust tble
" I did not burn it, but I suppose I bare got into it
sow." Mr. Dukes, surgeon, was sent for, sod the woman
remain under his we. The police remained with
the mother all last night in order to prevent her making an
attempt upon her life, she appearing to be is a state of greet
despondency. Mr. Burrows, the coroner's odicer, has mused
the body to be removed to the district deedhouse.
It is stated that the mother is a searnstrws, and has bees
in the habit for some time past of working for the cheep
tailors. She is a married woman, the wife of a mechanic,
who deserted her three years ago. The two children found
in the room with her are bars, and they all seemed to be in
the lest of etaratioo. The affair bar crested. as might
be expected, great ex:itement in the neighbourhood.
It has been ascertained that the name of the mother is
Lams Macomb, aged 32 years. Her bushes', who had
deserted her, is believed to have subsequently been car
tinted, sod to be sow in prison, undergoing his emitstos.

THE VOLUNTEER REVIEW.

The review of the volunteers by his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Cambridge, which followed the
presentation of prizes, was, if truth must be told,
but a moderate sucoeu. The Commander-in-Chief
had, in humane consideration for the wounded sol-
dier' forbidden tiring, and this of course detracted
a good deal from the animation and craisembiance
of the nunneuvres. But, independently of
this, the muster was a very short one,
many of our most distinguished corps being
but thinly represented. For example, the
Victories, which Colonel M'Murdo had put
down in his list at 480, brought only 120 to the
held, and more or less disparity between the printed
lists and the actual numbers on the ground wu
general. There might have been 8,000 men present,
but certainly not many more, and the whole army
looked scarcely a handful on the wide plains of
Wimbledon. The public, on the other hand, mus-
tered in tremendous force. The long lines of seats
which the association had prepared for ticket-
holders were tilled with fashionable company, and
the common all round was fringed with people.
The Brigadiers of the day were the Duke of
Wellington, Marquis of Donegal, Viscount Bury,
Viscount tanelagb, Lieutenant-Colonel Walker,
Colonel Luard, Lord Radstock, and Lieutenant-
Colonel Bigge.

NEW YORK, JOLT 15, EVINING,

The Confederates, after making a demonetisation
against Fort Stephens, retired on Thursday from
before Washington, and recrossed the Potomac with
immense quantities of plunder.
Telegraphic communication with Washington is
re-established, and the invasion is considered at an
end.
It is believed that the Confederate force which
entered Maryland did not exceed 20,000 men.

The Confederates have made demonstrations
against Grant's left, with the object of getting in
his rear.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION•ROCBg

A gentleman connectedwith a mimosa firm in the
City waited upon Mr. Alderman Phillips, who was sitting
for the Lord Mayor, to expose a fraudulent system of ob-
taining money. A correspondent of the firm in Ueemany
bedpost him a letter which had been written to him, dated
from Loodoe, stating the writer had received to hie ad-
dress a parcel by " America" ria New York, containing
papers and titles, the expenses for which amounted
to Bs. 4d., upon the receipt of which amount in
postage stempa the parcel would be forwarded.
His co respondeent bad a brother who some time beak
went • sad had not been heard of for some time, end
it might possibly be that the papers were relating to him,
but before sending the money he bad sent to London that
inquiry might be made. This had been dose, and it was
fond that the address given is the letter was a pablia
house, and that a parses whom name corresponded with
that at the foot of the letter celled occasionally for letters.
There was therefore no doubt but it was merely a ruse to
obtain the money.
Mr. Alderman Phillips remarked that it was a very old
mode of obtaining money, sod one which had already been
expand in the papas upos several oixsaiosis.

ALHAMBRA.

The performances at this establishment bare been
entirely chanted ; M. Loiseet's circus company have de-
puted to Crernorue-gudess ; the circus has been cleared
away, and this noble building is once more opened as a
theatre of varieties. The musical arrangements ere under
the charge of Mr. Schalleo, assisted by M. lialoady, the
Hungarian composer, and the band, chorus, and oomic and
sentimental singers seem to be well chosen. The leading
attraction is Millie. Nethalie—the young French female
acrobst, who excited so much interest here in 1d62. Mills.
Netballe is about twelve years of age, and is
the daughter of M. Foucart, the proprietor
of one of the best and most highly patronised
gymnastic schools in Paris. The graceful and extraordi-
nary feats performed by this young lady show w►at high
beanie' may do with a somewhat delicate frame, and illus-
trate the beet kind of physical education as practised in
France. The same teaching which bas made Wile.
Nathalie and her two younger sisters who accompany her,
what they are, is brought to bear upon the Prinoe Imperial,
and nearly all the children of the Frisch upper classes.
There is nothing " sensational^ in the performance of these
three children, and if it has a fault it is far too holiest and
legitimate for a theatre or a masialtall.

EXECUTION AT GLASGOW.

Yesteria7 morning John Reilly was executed
in Glasgow, in front of the Court House. The culprit
was convicted at the last Glasgow Circuit Court of
the murder of Nervy taffy, in the parish of Bothwell,
near Glasgow, on the 17th or 18th of December last.
The widowers tendered at the trial was of a circemstanual
nature, and as it was held by some to bed as inconclusive
character, efforts ware made to obtain • reagents of the
capital =Dine& A public meeting was held, from which
a peliMon in favour of the prisoner was seat to the Home-
• and at • meeting of Roman catholic', co-religionists
of the enlprit, it was resolved to follow a similar course. A
petition was also traernitted by Mr. Black, the religious
adviser of the primmer, and another by the culprit. Om
Friday last, however, • letter was received, intimating that,
after doe *airy, Sir George Grey sew no sufficient reason
for setting aside the verdict of the jury.
The convict since his conviction has conducted himself
with remarkable finsuree and composure. He took, et
amuse, a good deal of interest in the efforts made to obtain
a commutation of his sentence, but when the decision of
the Horne-oMee wee communicated to him he received the
intimation with unflinching calmness, having apparently
made up his mind foe the worst. Being • Roman cathol, he
was attended throughout by the Right Rev. Dr. Murdoch,
the bishop of the draft, and the Rev. Mr. Black, and he
is understood to bare devoted himself assiduously to the
religious duties befitting his 'Metro. He maintained his
innocent* of the crime, but seemed quite resigned to the
dreadful fate which awaited him. The hour fixed for his
execution was 8 o'clock yesterday morning. The I,atlold
was erected in front of the South Prison, the usual plena
of mention in Glasgow. A large crowd, computed by
some to comprise about 20,000 persons, assembled to
witness' the dismal erne. The prisoner to the last pee.
served the firmer of demeanour that bad chanctesuei
him from the day of his conviction. On Sunday night be
retired to rest about 12 o'clock, and slept iotermittingly
for a few hours. After getting up about half-past 3he was
attended by the Ern. Mr. Black. and subsequently by the
' bishop, both of whom remained with him to the last.
' About five minutes past 8 he was brought out from his
cell, where he had been pinioned by Calraft, and delivered
over to the city magistrates, when the bishop briefly inti.
mated that he had nothing to say. The wretched roan
was thee conducted to the scaffold, which he ascended
with an unflinching step. He knelt with the bishop and
Mr. Black on the drop, and engaged in • final act of deco-
tion, and immediately afterwards he was thrown off. He
seemed to Waggle hard for about three or four mioutes.
The scaffold was surrounded by a screen, which almost
entirely hid the convict's person after he was dropped.

on Saturday. Their lordahips this morning delivered judg.

Aortic, Wtlls, in delivering the judgment of the
court, said there were twc4poiets.upon which the decision of
the court wee asked. The lust point raised was whether
the stamp duty upon letters of administration should be
cakaLted upon the principal sum oulv, or upon the
principal and interest added that bad Amami:LW iron the time of decease till letters of adminis-
tration were taken out. The Court of Exchequer, before
whom the ow was originally argued, decided in favour of
the crown, viz., that the interest must be added to the
principal andl duty charged upon the whole as one principal
sum. The asecond point was whether a wife during her
marriage acquired a right to a distributive share of the
intestate's estate, and died without asserting her claim,
leaving her husband living, it was necessary for the next of
kin of the husband, in order to enforce the right of the
wife, to take out letters at administration to both the hus-
band and wife, and to pay stamp duty upon each. The

Haydn's Symphony, which began the concert, in one of the
peat master's older works, written long before the sym-
phonies which he produced in t►is country, and in which
his powers as an orchestral composer were fully developed.
The above symphony is for a comparatively small or-
chairs, and in a comparatively simple style ; but yet it has
that delightful freshness and that sunny and genial character
which distinguishes Haydn's music. It is one of those things
which never grow old, bat are listened to with constantly
renewed pleasure. Mendelssohn's Italian Symphony,which hit
composed expressly for the Philharmonic Society, is univer-
sally admited to be his ctrl-dcro ore, aid is always performed
at these concerts con amore, as a work in which the
orchestra feel a special and peculiar interest. Arabella God-
dard, by her execution of two pieces belonging to widely dif-
ferent periods and in totally different styles, showed the
versatility ea well as the greatness of her talents. She
never exerted herself more felicitously; and her superb
performances were received with the enthusiasm which she
never fails to excite. Beethoven's Overture to Leonora is
the greatest work of its class that ever was written. It is,
in fact, too great for the purpose for which it was deigned ;
and its large proportions, its grand and lofty style, make
it more like a great symphony than • mere dramatic
prelude. Auber's March, written for our Great Exhibit=
of 1862, is light, sparkling, and well calculated to form the
conclusion of a concert. We need scarcely my that Mdlle.
Bettelbeim is the young end charming contralto of Her
Majesty's Theatre, who has already become one of the
greatest favourites of the public. HUT Msyerhoter has a
high reputation in Germany, which he appears to deserve,
though the music which he chose was not calculated to dia.
play hi powers to the greatest advantage, being more united
to the stage than the coscert-room.
The royal visitors were attended by a distinguished party,
among whom we observed the Countess of Macclesfield, the
Earl and Countess of Caithness, Lord Hothans, Lord Mani,
She Hon. W. Grey, and )(ajar Teesdale.
