which the brothers answer by offering to forfeit

if, after seeing their performance in the presence

French commerce seems to be reviving. The
imports which for six months ending June 30,
amounted to 1,201,161,000 ft, showing an improve-
ment of 09 millions on the corresponding period of

THE WESTMINSTER PLAT.

In deference to the express wishes of those
through whose COSUillff alone it is permitthd to be present,
we have this year postponed our notice of the Westminster
Play till its lasi performaaes,whlch took place last night'
The temporary theatre of St. Peter's was surrounded with
the usual memories, and was filled by a select and critical
audience—without excepting even the fairer portion, many
of whom, with the Latin text in hand, followed with keen
curiosity the development of the plot, and the histrionic
sagacity of the youthful actors. There me those,
we am aware, who think that the performance
of these old Roman plays before the Christmas
holidays by the Wallataster students is unsuited to the
time and place, but a thug tradition may at least be pleaded
for the practice, and we eau well believe that it would be
as difficult to remove Terence or Plautus from the affections
of the " Westanomatarimmes," as it was "In the days of
old' to remove Terminus from his territorial " location." In
ooessieually substituting Plautus for Terence the school
authorities of Westminster, as our opinion, show good
sense. The most fastidious can find nothing to object to
in the Trinummus, which was the play selected for remota-
MU°, this year. It is a play essentially moral in tone and
character, and there ismareely a smooth which lofty ethical
teaching or sound prudential roles for the practical conduct
of life are not enforeed. We need hardly add that at the
end the actors received the usual platelite.
The usual Atellane force called the Epilogue followed the
conclusion of the play. It occasioned much amusement,
and the hits told extremely well.
Amongst those present wen the Bishop of Loudon, Lord
R. Groeveaor, Sir D. Divides, Sir E. Coots, Sir P.
Oolquhoun, the Dean of Westminster, the Rev. J. C.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(Before the lisoorder.)
George Cole, 31, a labourer, with a alight black beard at
the end of hie chin and no whiskers, wee charged with foto-
tamely enticing away and detaining Mary Ann Humphreys,
a child of the age of nice years.
It appeared from the evidence of the child, a pretty may
&asked little girl, that on ooming from school the prisoner
met her and enticed her to go with him by the promise of
a new doll. The ertimes narrative of their wanderings to
and fro, day by day, end of her hunger sad entreaties to be
taken borne was quite affecting.
Maria Humphreys, the mother, deposed that she lived at
St. Mary Axe, and that the child went to a day school in
Dukestrest, Aldgats. On Motiday, the 20th of November,
the child did not return from school to dinner, and she saw
no more of her until the following Sunday, when frem
information she had received she went to the London
Hospital and found her.
Johanna Lee, a decrepit old woman, mid that she kept a
lodgisg-hours in Spitalfields, and that on Saturday night,
about 11 o'clock, the prisoner, whom she had known before,
came Dad asked for a bed for himself and the child. Both
she and the neighbours knew it was not his child, and goes-
tioned him. He said it was the child of hie sister, who
was in the workhouse ill. The people, who had gathered
round, said the child was too respectable to belong to him,
, and "pitched into him." He got away, leaving the chthe
who appeared almost stupefied, and she took it to
hospital.
The woman's evidence was confirmed by several of those
who stood by at the time.
The house surgeon at the London Hospital said the child
when brought to him was in a state of stupor, sad sus-
pecting something had boss given it he administered an
emetic. He, however, oould detect nothing deleterious in
the contents of the stomach, and be believed now that its
condition arose from fatigue and insufficiency of food. He
made an examination, and found that the child had suffered
no outrage.
Prisoner, in defence, denied the whole story, and said be
was at Woolwich all the time ; but he was found Guilty.
The Recorder, in passing sentence, said that taking away
a child from its parents inflicted upon them as immense
amount of misery, and looking at his conduct on Saturday
night it was evident his intentions were bad. Eighties
months' hard labour.

The Paris evening papers publish advises from
Constantinople to the 4th inst., which state that the
Menus had rejected any arrangement for the secu-
larisation of the Mosque property. They had,
however, admitted • project for the relief of the
sufferers by the late fire. These persons would
rebuild their houses upon laud forming part of the
Mosque property, with the right of bequeathing
them to their heirs, but the proprietorship of the
land would remain in the hands of the clergy.
The Paris papers further state that the conversion
of the Cousolides had been arrested, and that the
government, in default of the resources anticipated
from the Mosque property, had contracted a loan at
12 per cent.
Lord Lyons, the new Ingliah ambassador to the

BERLIN. Ocr. 11.

The semi-official Provincial. Corremondeez of to-
day publishes an article upon the visit of Count
von Bismarck to Biarritz, in which it says :
"The honourable and cordial reception of Count
von Bismarck by the Emperor Napoleon, and the
observations of his Majesty upon pending ques-
tions are guarantees for the unaltered con-
tinuance of the friendly relations between
France and Prussia. It is mainly owing to this
fact, indeed, that the question of the
Duchies could be brought to a solution in con-
formity with German national and Pruasian in-
terests without European complications. No
doubt mists that the Emperor has resolved to con-
tinue the calm, honourable, and disinterested
1 policy be has hitherto pursued."

MADRID, Oar. 8.

The Progressist committee of Saragossa have ad-
dressed a communication to the Central Committee
in this city, dated sth instant, which states that six
killed and 18 wounded fell under the fusillade of
the troops on the night of the Std instant. It is
added that the military were directed to fire at the
people in the balconies, an order with which they
did not fail to comply.
The cholera begins to create some anxiety in
Madrid, and the general sanitary condition of the
city, though not alarming, is considered by no
means satisfactory. In the Escuelsa Piss (reli-
gious schools for youth) five cases occurred on the
I sth inst.,and in the government military provision
establishment, 16 cases. Cholera first made its
appearance here on the 15th August. Since that
date the daily number of cases, commencing at 6 or
8, has, it is stated, reached the maximum of from
40 to 50.
A royal order has been issued declaring the port
of Row, in the province of Gerona, to be infected
with cholera.

A singular funeral oration wee pronounced the
other day over the grave of M. Fortoul, the old
man who, as already stated, committed suicide in
the St. Perrin Almshouses, of which be was an
inmate. The deceased, born in 1782, was an uncle
of M. Fortoul, the minister of public instruction,
who, in the early days of the Empire. did so much
to encourage the Jesuits and to banish
classics from the French colleges. He him-
self was the son of the president of
the directory (a dignity answering to that of
prefect) of the department of the Basses Alper
At the age of 12 years, being precociously inspired
with a thirst for military glory, he ran sway and
endeavoured to enlist in • battalion of chaseenrs
de la Montague, celled the Allobrogee, of which his
cousin was quartermaster. But the cousin, think-
ing him too little to carry a musket, sent him home
to his father in custody of a gendarme. He never
again sought to embrace a military career, and,
after studying law, devoted himself to politios.
How long it is since he fell into a state of destitu-
tion does not appear, but many of his old friends,
who it is presumed had seen little of him for many
years, assembled at his funeral. On a pauper's
coffin was laid the deooration awarded to the
deceased as a " national recompense," and be
was followed by many of Louis Philippe's dearth
to the fosse commune (common grave assigned to
paupers) in the Auteuil Cemetery. The only
relative present was a M Flotard, au old man,
I who, on the edge of the grave when the coffin was
lowered, announced himself as a nephew of M.
Fortoul and a friend of fifty years' standing. He
proceeded to make the extraordinary disclosure
th►t his unfortunate uncle, whom he compared to
Cato of Utica, bad destroyed himself at the age of
83, because he despaired of seeing a revival of
revolutionary France, and believed that the pre-
sent generation would repudiate the inheritance of
the Constituent and the Convention. Only •
week helms his death ha said the world was not
worth living in for him, but that his nephew, who
was 14 years younger, might hope to see better
things. After a panegyric on the many private
virtues of the deceased, the speaker expressed a
hope that his friends would cherish his memory,
and that God would pardon him for having
despaired of the liberties of France.
It is rumoured that M. de Bismarck bad no lees
than three long conferences with the Emperor at
Biarritz, and that in all probability he will be in-
vited before returning to Berlin to pass a fortnight
with his Majesty at Compibgne.
The final quotations at the Bourse were but a
trifle lower than those of yesterday, but the flue-
tuations of the day were considerable. In the
morning Rents was very buoyant, and was quoted
as high as 67fr. 900., but the oloeiog prices were
67fr. 7710. for cash, and 670. 750. for account,
with a fall of tic. and 4c. It was remarked that
certain parties, supposed to have good political
information, were selling. Comptoir d'ffecompte
fell 6fr. 25c. Mobilier left off lfr. 25c. higher.
