MR. ALFRED mzuoys PROMENADE CONCERTS.
Mr.t7Mcllon bled Operted to this clam of entnr-
tainweitts a 'bigisr • ione; and a greater importance in an
artirtic point of view than they have ever received before ;
and it is pleasant to observe that he has done this not only
without any secelhos but with much advantage to himself.
Promenade concerts are not of long standing. Many
people must remember the time when they were originated
at Paris by Masud and Valentino. In those days they were
an agreeable and popular lounge, but they were of the
slightest kind, consisting only of dance music—chiefly
valtsen and quadrilles—written, however, with ability,
and played as this sort of music had never been
played before. Bat while they have remained
stationary in Paris, they have, in London, assumed
a diffpreat aspect. The late Jullien endeavoured not
only to raise their character, but to educate the popu-
lar nix tato an appreciation of a higher order of music.
His labours ware out short by his untimely death, but
they have been continued by Mr. Mellon, to such good
purpose that one of his 401110111111 is now as re
prior to Jullien's as Jullien's were above the
old embryo performances of the Rue Vivienne.
Mr. Melion's exertions, too, continue to be pro-
Inwesi* and his present concerts are much in advance,
both in Teepee, 116 quality and success, of those of any
previous maim
The engagement of Mdllo. Oarlotta Patti, which began
on Monday last and will continue, we believe, till the end
of the memo, promisee to be highly attractive.

CONCSIT Room.—Two new " enter-
tainers" bays resolved to appeal to the publio at thaw
rooms under the names of Bexley Heath and Bucbet Cham-
pion with an entertainment that may be described as a
vary rough copy of Mr. German Reed's. Mr. Champion
has distinguished himself at various concerts as a singer of
tenor ballads, and Mr. Heath is a vocalist of no mean
ability. The groundwork of the entertainment is rather
dismal, and the delivery of the two performers wants
dash and " go." Mr. Champion's ballad singing is one of
the most eatisfastory features of the performance, and his
songs belong to a class which is much beloved by music-
sellers. Mr. James Bruton has furnished the libretto.

PARIS. THURSDAY Evainim.

K Duruy's decree in the bionifsur was intended,
and will probably have the effect intended, to ren-
der gratuitous primary instruction more accessible
to the children of necessitous parents than it has
been since 1850. The principle of the law is that
no child really unable to pay shall want instruction ;
but a law of 1853 gave the prefects power to fix a
maximum number of children, and many disputes
have lately taken place on the subject between cer-
tain prefects and the municipal council. The par-
tisans of unconditional gratuitous instruction to

all comers say that the presenb measure is but a
half one, but can hardly deny that it is good as far
as it goes. _ _

Id. Hagen, the local candidate who first stared
for the Baa Rhin, has in the most graceful manner
withdrawn his pretensions to make way for M.
Laboulaye. In a letter dated Strasburg, March
28, he says that multiplicity of candidature. should
as a general rule be avoided, because they tend to
make the electors suppose that the great liberal party
is out up into numerous sects, and that in the par-
ticular case when the constituency has an oppor-
tunity of choosing for its representative one of the
" purest glories of modern Franoe," he would not
have his enemies suppose him presumptuous enough
to struggle at once against the power of genius and
the whole strength of the administration. I see
nothing short of a foreign war that can stop the
return of K Laboulaye. _ _ _

It is a curious ooinidenoe that at the first elec-
tion, which occurred after the law of May 31, the
Ras Rhin returned M. Emile de Girardin as a pro-
test against it. The same department has now an
opportunity of protesting against the amendment
of the Forty-six by electing M. Laboulaya.
M. Behio, the Minister of Agriculture and Com-
merce, has laid before the Council of States bill
for the more effectual repression of frauds in the
sale of manures. He proposes to punish the sale
of adulterated guano, phosphates, animal black,
&c., by imprisonment of from three months to two
years, and fines of from 50fr. to 2,000 fr.
Colonel d'Argy, the French officer, selected to
command the new papal legion, has arrived at
Antibes. His corps is said to be complete, and he
will very soon sail with it for Clvita Vecchia. The
evacuation of Rome by the French troops, pur-
suant to the convention, is expected to take place
in the course of the coming June, July, and
August.

THE POLICE COURT&

MANSION HOUSE.
Janus Glass, ji decent-looking youth 17 years of age, was
charged before the Lord Mayor with stealing two sovereigns
and other moneys, the property of Messrs. Waller, hie
masters and employers.
Mr. Weather, jun., appeared for the prisoner.
From the evidence adduced it appeared that the priscwer
had been employed for the last three months ea screed boy
is the service of the prosecutors, who are colonial dealers.
On the afternoon of Saturday, the 23rd December last, oee
of the prosecutors deposited in a drawer in the safe the sum
of 5/. 12s. 3d. in gold and silver, together with two cheques
for the payment of 201. each. The safe was locked and
secured, but the key had been inadvertently left by one of
the clerks on the counting-house desk. On tljp. morning
after ehristmes-day the key of the safe wee missing, and it
berame.neesseary to have the mate broken open, and on
examining the contents of the drawer, of which the prose-
outer had the key, it was discovered that from the
St 12s. 3d. which had been deposited there the sum of two
sovereigns was missing. The prisoner was questioned, when
be stated that he knew nothing whatever about the matter,
I though it was evident the inner drawer of the safe had
been opened by meths of a false key. On Saturday last the
prisoner was again interrogated, when Mr. John Waller
told him that unless the prisoner gave up the key to him
he would seed for a police constable. The prisoner then
gave up the false key, sad said that he bad taken the
money that was missing. He afterwards gave up a second
key, with which he had opened a small cupboard, which
• had contained 91. worth of copper money, from which
335. to 40s. had been taken. The total loss since the
prisoner had been in their service amounted to about 30/.
In the crow-examination of the prosecutor, Mr. Wontner,
jun., elicited from him that he told the prisoner
that if he gave up the key with which the safe drawer had
been opened he would not give him into custody.
Mr. Wcatner, jun., said this admission pat an end to the
present case, and the prisoner was entitled to be discharged.
The prosecutor urged that this had reference only to the
stealing of the two sovereigns, and bad no bearing upon the
I lon of the copper coins, of which he (prosecutor) was not at
that time aware.. . . . . .

Mr. Wontuer, jun, submitted that the inducement to con-
fess was general, and not limited to the one charge with re-
gard to the two sovereigns.
:oh. Ford aNyor (after conferring with the chief clerk)
said, the prosecutor having coodocall sbe offtwoe gessailly
the case could not proceed. No doubt the prisoner was a
very bad boy, but the prosecutor by hie own act had de-
prived the magistrate of the power to punish him as ha de-
served ; he must, therefore, be discharged.
The result appeared to be a great surprise to the prisoner,
who lost no time in leaving the justice•room.

THE PUBLIC POUNCE&

The financial position of the ministry, at all
events, thinks the Daily Newt, w ansasailable, end this in its
tarn will render it difficult to reject the whole scheme of
policy of the ministers, for among • practical people • sue,
ceasful minister of Munro, whose legislation has been tried
by the American civil war, more than one bad harvest, and
the cattle plague, will command confidence, and any
party in the house which should deprive the coun-
try of his services would sign its own condemn►
tine. At the same time • surplus invites to dis-
content, and such revenue returns as were published
yesterday are attended with certain inconvenient)... They
make many "interests" feel injured, and produce grievances
by a sort of spontaneous generation. The anti•malt tax
agitators will demand that the poor man's beer shall be
cheapened as well as the poor woman's tea, but as • paining
suggestion they may be advised to go in for a reduction of
expenditure to the scale of 1858-59, by which they will
have found a shorter cut to the redaction of the malt duty
than by the most ingenious calculations. They may rely
upon this that any party on either side of the house that
will demand a serious reduction of expenditure will not find
in Mr. Gladstone • believer in the necessary permanence of
the income-tax or in the sacred innocence of the National
Debt. For the present, every department of the revenue
that especially marks the progress, or arrest, or failure of
the national resources, shows • soundness and stability that
seem to defy all adverse chances.
The Star gives • simple problem in the rule of three :
If the revenue of 1865 be only by one million lees than that
of 1864, while for the first-named year five millions of taxes
were remitted, what will be the result at the end of 1866?
Mr. Gladstone has fallen on a happy time for his incum-
bency of the Chancellorship of the Exchequer, and the
growing energies of this nation, if they could be personated.
might equally be called happy in having found a Chanoellor
of the Exchequer so closely sympathetic. The next budget
will undoubtedly show a further large reduction of taxa-
lien, made yet more practicable by at least as considerable
a reduction in the " service " estimates as last year.

fitted out those ships meet with curses
instead of blessings. He concluded by asking
the meeting to go and senerade " Phil Sheridan,
the beau sabreur of the American army," who,
he assured them, was heart and soul with them
in their movement. So they marched to his house,
sent in their compliments, and played Irish airs
before his doors. But Phil had more sense, and
declined to have anything to do with them. Thus
ended the meeting in a great failure, as I thought,
though I must do the crowd the justice to say that
I never saw one more orderly. But New Orleans,
under Federal rule, has become a quiet and well-

THE FEELiN TRIALS AT CORK.

DUBLIN, MONDAY Mawr.
Thomas Hayes, wheelwright, of London, was put
on his trial at Cork this morning. It was sworn
that he was one of the principal organisers. The
principal witness against him was Heggarty ; and
a detective officer named Campbell stated that
Hayes, baking him to be a Fenian, mentioned to ,
him the names of several B's in London, and said '
that after the attests in Dublin 8,000 B men came
from Neu. assembled near Dublin, and sent to
Stephens asking the latter to lead them, and they
would rescue the prisoners. Stephens relnsed,
stating it would be madness to do so. The pri-
soner was convicted, and sentenced to ten years'
penal servitude.
The trial of a man named Kinnerly was then
commenced, and had not concluded when the court
adjourned.

AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS.

The week opened with a thick, cold day ; at times
very fogey, but dry. The weather throughout the week
has been of a very varied character ; with a dense fog pre-
vailing ; nights occasionally frosty. There were some
showers frequently op to Frielay, when heavy rain fell,
blowing a gale from the S.S W. ; thermometer up to 50
degrees ; barometer down to 29.30 inches, and still (allies ;
in the evening there was more rain, accompanied with sleet
and hail ; later at night the wind moderated, and it became
finer. On Saturday the day was clear and bright for De-
°ember, with a fresh breeze blowing from the S.W. ; ther-
mometer down to 40 degrees ; barometer up to 29.60
inches, and rising. As there have been no frosts
to check the growth of the first-sown wheat, the
plant has grown vigorously, and it has a healthy
appearance, although the fear now is of its becoming
winter-proud, so that a slight check is required. That next
sown, after a lapse of several weeks, caused by the too wet
state of the weather, dose not look so well ; the plant has
occasionally micied, and in many instances this has been
attacked by the slugs. The last sown, when a finish was
made of autumn sowing, is not yet above ground, and no
opinion can as yet be formed of this portion of the crop.
It is admitted generally that a great breadth of lead is now
under this pain, in the hope of remunerating prices at
next harvest time. There is yet the spring variety to be
sown, and this will be put into the ground from this
time forward up to Match, while some aorta may be
plaited up to April inclusive. The damp atmosphere has
been mostly plan thrashing of late, and we think
the farmers will sot be in a hurry to bring to market
the worst sample of their crop, that part saturated with
rain, south of the Humber, whilst being steam!, the rides

THE HOUSELVIS POOR ACT.

The Times observes that if the Act for the Relief of the
House's's' Poor should eventually prove ineffectual, it will
not be for want of exertion on the part of the Poor•law
Board. Mr. Parnell, in particular, deserves credit for the
manner in which he has discharged a difficult and disagree-
We duty. The result of the meeting at St. Martin's Hall,
reported yesterday, is another instance of his happy method
of dealing with the difficulties of the case. There are good rea-
sons for considering that theact which has doubled the casual
accommodation in the metropolis has been successful, and
has relieved us from the scandal of allowing persons to
perish fr-ms cold and starvation in our streets, while
the uniform adoption of the labour test, now agreed to,
will prevent the Lightly shelter being taken advantage of by
those who are not really destitute. The Times adds, that
though loth to interfere with the charitable intentions of
those who founded the Refuges, it cannot but think they
would be wise to apply their funds in a different way, now
that the first object of such institutions is legally wound.
Even if it does no harm to offer this exceptional shelter, it
appears simply a waste of charitable resources to apply them
to what is already provided by law. There are ample de-
mands for private charity in such work as that undertaken
by the Society for the Relief of Distress, without diverting
it to purposes for which it is not absolutely necessary. At
all events, relief of this character should now be very
cautiously dispensed.
The Reread appears to incline to the belief that the act
has created a new temptation to vagrancy, and a vagrancy
perpetually visiting Loudon ; and, dwelling upon some
of the anomalies it presents, suggests that the further
step should be taken of having a uniform and not a capri-
cious labour test. The difficulty, how to diminish the
temptations to dissolute vagrancy, and at the same time
to render justice to the deserving poor, has not yet been
removed.

The Telegraph lays that the measure, which is an ad-
mirable one, has been to a great extent neutralised by a
stupid body of officials. It has had to congratulate the
chief of the poor-law administration and his officers on
much excellent and faithful work in Lancashire and Lon-
don ; but it never knew how well-deserved the tribute was
till theft. Martin's Hall meeting gave it the measure of
the dull cruelty and wooden-beaded wit against which the
board at Whitehall has to work.

♦GGRAVATID ASSAULT ON A CHILD.

.....--.
Heinrich Had, a young fellow described as a baker, was
°barged with committing an aggravated and indecent assault
ori a child only nine years of age.
Mr. H. Allen, of the Associate Institute for Improving
and Enforcing the Laws for the Protection of Women, pro-
secuted.
The prisoner lodged in the same house as the complainant,
and eke was in the habit of going to his room to call bim
in the evening, previous to his going into,the bakery to work.
On the evening in question, whilst the prisoner was in bed
the complainant went to his room, and at his requnt she
went to the side of his bed. He then caught hold of her,
and attempted to commit a gross assault on her, but for-
tunately for the child he did not noosed in his attempts.
When the prisoner was taken into custody, he said be was
sorry for what he bad done.
The prisoner, in his defence, said he had hitherto horse
a good character, and he could not account for hie at-
tempting to commit such a wicked offence.
The magistrate said this was a most aggravated assault,
and sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned and kept to
bard labour in the House of Correction for six calendar
montha.

THE HEALTH OF LONDON,

It appears from the return issued by autho-
rity of the Registrar-General, that in the week that
ended on Saturday, October 20, the births regis-
tered in London and twelve other large towns in
the United Kingdom were 4,018 ; the deaths regis-
tered 3,180. The annual rate of mortality was 27 per !
1,000 persons living. In London the birthe of 1,035 boys .
and 929 girls, in all 1,964 children, were registered in the
week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years, 1856-65, :
the average number, corrected for increase of population,
was 1,982. The deaths registered in London during the
week were 1,464. It was the forty-second week of the
year ; and the average number of deaths for that
week is, with a correction for increase of pope's-
ties, 1,227. The present return exhibits an excess of 237
deaths above the computed number. The increase of the
total deaths is partly due to bronchitis. One hundred
and forty-four deaths were registered from cholera, and 55
from diarrhua, making 199 in the aggregate. The deaths
from cholera and Burr tea in the last six weeks were 292,
218 244, 251, 254, 199.
The annual rate of mortality last week was 25 per
1,000 in London, 30 in Edinburgh, and 45 in Dublin ; 25
in Bristol, 20 in Birmingham, 35 in Liverpool, 29 in Man-
chester, 24 in Salford, 20 in Sheffield, 26 in Leeds, 27 in
Hull, 34 in Newcasrle-upon-Tyne, and 27 in Glasgow.
The rate in Vienna was 73 per 1,000 during the week
ending the 13th inst., when the temperature was 3.3 deg.
Fahrenheit lower than in the same week in London, where
the rate was 23 per 1,000.
The deaths from cholera in Liverpool continue to decline
steadily, the numbers in the past three weeks having been,
respectively, 99, 53, and 38. In Dublin, however, the dis-
ease is still increasing in fatality, and the deaths, which in
the two previous weeks had been 81 and 98, further rime
last week to 118. During the week ending 13th met., of
the 779 deaths recorded in Vienna, 453 were referred to
cholera, showing, however, a considerable decline upon the
week ending the 29th ult., when the fatal cases were 672,
in a total of 1,007 deaths.

MOSEY MARKET.--{THIS DAY.)

011 o'Ormos.
Public securities are in request to-day, and the

general tone of the market is firmer, in consequence
of the improvement in the weather, and the rapid
flow of gold to the Bank of England. There is an
increased number of bona fide transactions, thus
showing that the present low quotations have at
length tempted investments on the part of the
public. Consols are unchanged, but English rail-
way stocks and foreign securities have advanced.
United States 5-20 Bonds, however, have given
way upon, it ie stated, some large importations
from New York.
The demand for money to-day is moderate, and
good three months' paper is taken at 31, to 4 per
cent., or to I below the rate current at the
Bank of England. Some bills are kept back on
the prospect of the official terms being reduced
to-morrow to 4 per cent., but, even if this move-
ment should take place, it is questioned
whether the charge in the open market will be
lower than at present.
Consols are quoted at 8911 to 5 for money, and
894 to for the account (Nov. 8).

Foreign stocks are firm, and a rise of / per cent.
has occurred in Turkish of 1865, Spanish Passive,
and Italian of 1881. Greek and Mexican are also
inquired for. Turkish Bonds of 1362 are quoted
5411 to 55} ; ditto, 1865, 29/ to ; Greek, 14 to
; Spanish Passive, 22 to I ; ditto Certificates, 14
to I ; Italian of 1861, 551 to 56 ; Mexican, 151

TusaDAT EMIRS.
Consols, which closed yesterday at 8I to fed
the Bth November, opened this morning at -814,
and cicsed at 89i to I. For money the last prise

Indian Government securities remain decidedly

cial demand, anti experienced a fresh improvement,
being last marked 1061. Exchequer Bills were
steady, at par to 4a. prem.
The foreign stock market was quiet in the morn-
ing, but afterwards improved, and closed with a
firm appearance. Italian Bonds of 1861 were in
chief request, and rose per cent. Greek and
Mexican of 18.64 also improved ; Greek Coupons,
Turkish of 1865, and Mexican (old), ; and Spanish
Passive and Certificates, Venezuelan Bonds el
1864 were 1 per cent. better, and the Bonds of 1861
were likewise inquired for. Egyptian 1001. Bonds
and the Railway Debentures, however, declined 1
per cent., and Russian of 1859 were lower.

BZILTIANT GABILKS'S VOTX

MA Berjeant Geodes has suooseded in
a 'new incident in parliamentary practioe.Crar7l
the division on the London Clorporation Gas
Bill it had never happened to a mem •
bar to complete all the formalities of a
vote, passing by the desk where his name
is marked down upon the division list, and
the enumeration of the tellers, without dia.
covering that he was giving his vote to those
whom he wished to oppose. Those who have
made a like mistake have usually discovered that
they were in the wrong lobby from the countenances
of their colleagues, and have endeavoured to avoid
the consequences of their errorby ppiinngg back into
the house. But, according to theeppractice in the
Zemmons, this room for penitence has hitherto
n denied them, and their vote has Deem re-
gistered according to the lobby in which they found
themselves.

SRN CICITICD STATES AND RUSSIA.

Commenting upon the eternal friendship which the re-
presentatives of the United States and of Russia are
swearing in almost every city of the Russian empire, the
Daily News finds the real attraction not in any resem-
blance in the spirit or form of the domestic institutions of
the two countries, but in the fact that they feel
that they occupy an analogous position towards
the older nations and the civilisation of Western Europe.
Lying, as it were, on the verge of the older civilisation of
the world, conscious of a great future, removed by geogra-
phical distance from the chances of collision and rivalry,
and sensitive of the same refined contempt, Russia and
America are drawn together by an indefinable but real
sympathy. Both imagine in the leading powers of Europe
a disposition to thwart their natural progress and develop-
ment. Certain parallel passages in their recent domestic
history, such as the abolition of slavery and the
organisation of free labour, together with the sympathy
of Rusin with the North during the American war,
are superficial incidents in an international movement
which had and has deeper and more permanent causes—
causes which will operate for good and for evil on the
future of the republic and of the empire, and of the world
in which they are destined to play an increasingly im-
portant and decisive pert.

7S TOPICS.

The Tina is unable to reconcile the enlistment of •
French legion at Antibes for relie‘:og the imperial gal A-
eon on its departure from Rome. with the terms of the
September convention. Scenes of violence and bloodshed
are preparing for unhappy Rome—scenes easily to have been
avoided without this fatal help, which seems only to have
been tendered to the Papal government with a view to dis-
credit and to ruin it. The Emperor Napoleon must feel that
there is no middle course left for him between andoing all
the past—restoring the Pope to his former possessions of

THE PROPOSED cONSIIIUTION FOR

EGYPT.

The IndApendance contains the following remarks
on this subject :
If we may believe the information of one of our Paris
correspondents, the resolution of the viceroy of Egypt to
introduce into that country representative institutions
like those of France has aroused the fears and suspicions
of England. This project having been encouraged by
the French government, the cabinet of London believes it
can peroeive therein the first step to a French protectorate
of Egypt when a crisis takes place in the East, and accord-
ingly the agents of England in Constantinople and Alex-
andria have set themselves to work to prevent Its execution.
They have already manacled in making the Sultan regret
the tacit assent which he gave to the projects of the vice-
roy, and one of the first effects of their action is to restore
to credit Mustapha Pacha, the brother of Ismael, who was
deprived of his right to the succession of Egypt by the in-
troduction of the principle of direct inheritance, and un-
ceremoniously dismissed from the court of the Padishah a
few months ago.
The Independanee does not attach much im-
portance to this news, but thinks that if the people
of Egypt are ripe for the introduction of the con-
stitutional system, the reform will be effected in
spite of the opposition of England, and will prove
a benefit to the whole of Europe.
London, England, 1866-10-23

the Austrian steam vessel of war which has been
ordered to proceed without delay from Trieste to
Vera-Cruz will convey the Emperor Maximilian to
Europe.
