TO THI IDITOS OF TEIZXPRZBB.

Sia,—On Friday night last, between five and
six o'clock,' in Crescent-lane, leading from Clapham.com-
mon to Clapham-park, my brother was garrotted by two
ruffians, who robbed him of jewellery, money, and every-
thing in his possession. He is a tall and powerful young
man, perfectly able with a fair chance to defend himself,
but was attacked suddenly from behind (a thick sword
stick knocked from his hand), and immediately rendered
powerless, being bonneted, thrown on hie back, sat upou
by a big man who grasped his throat, stuffing a handker-
chief into hie mouth "to keep the chicken from equall-
ing," as it was elegantly expressed, and otherwise bra-
tally,illtreating him. Thanks to speedy remedies applied,
he is now recovering, but is much shaken, and his throat
and features remain swollen and sore. Information was
given to the police, rand they captured one man (who is
now at the Clapham police station) on Saturday evening
in the act of lobbing a gentleman passing through the
same neighbourhood. Two somewhat similar but more
aggravated cases of garrotting have recently occurred at
Clapham and Brixton. On Saturday morning, about
half-past 12 o'clock, a lady was knocked down upon
Brixton-hill, and robbed of her purse, Ito. My only
object in entering so fully into details is to put the inha-
bitants of the suburbs of London on their guard during
the coining winter evenings. Unless one is also fully on
the alert, to be armed in such awes is no protection.

FRACAS AT A RAILWATSTATIOR:-=A GUARD LEFT BEHIND.
Wdhaw Brown, of 106, Fenchurch•street, was sum-
moned on behalf of the Brighton Railway Company for
unlawfully leaving a carriage while the train was in
motion.

Inspector Carpenter who attended to support the
summons said the defendant would plead guilty. He
jumped from a train at the Clapham-road station.

dark and he supposed the train had stopped.
Mr. Ingham fined him ls. and 2s. costs.
William Medford, of 12, Suffolk-terrace, Hawthorn.
grove, was also summoned for attempting to enter a
carriage while the train was in motion.

guilty, but it was a more serious case than the other. He
was a passenger by a late Cain at night, and on arriving at
Clapham Junction station he jumped out to fight ►nother
man. While so engaged the train started. The defendant
then left and attempted to enter the train while it was
In motion. Tho guard attempted to stop him. In the
struggle the guard was thrown down, and the train went
away without him.
The defendant said he wan very sorry. He met a friend
and had too much to drink.
Inspector Carpenter said the defendant was not sober.
Mr. Ingham said it was • case in which the defendant
must be lined. He then fined him 305., and 2a. oasts.
The money in both cases was paid.

EQUITY COURT.—Dac. 9.
(Before the Muter of the Bolls.)
BE GENECAL =TAM COMPS IT.

This was a claim of 13,000/. by the National Bank against
the above company, which is now being wound up. It
appeared that live of the directors of the Estates Company
signed promissory notes for 5,0001. and 10,0001. respec-
tively in their individual capacity, and that these notes
were afterwards endorsed by the directors of the company
and discounted by the N►tional Bank, in whose books the
amount lees the discount was placed to the credit of the
company. Judgment was afterwards obtained against the
company by the bank on the 10,0001. note. There was no
specific provision in the articles of association as to bills or
promissory notes, and the question was whether the
directors had power to accept bills, ice., for the company
under their general powers as given by such articles.
Mr. Jessel, Q.C., and Mr. Fischer appeared for the Na.
tional Bank ; and Mr. Bozburgh and Mr. Edmund James
for the company.
His Lordship was of opinion that the directors had the
power contended for, and allowed the claim.

TH2 PAN•ANGLICAN SYNOD.

Apropos of • meeting of the Pan•.tnglican Synod,
which it appears is to be held to-day, the Times
suggests that it is unfortunate the conclusions of
the conference were not kept u private as its dis-
cussions. The resolutions which it put forward with
an assumption not justified by the composition of
the synod, contain pretensions which the bishops
are notoriously incapable of sustaining; and the
conduct of some of the American bishops has given an
additional reason why the results of the meeting should be
quietly committed to oblivion. The proposed constitution
of • voluntary spiritual tribunal, which is amongst the
relics of the conference to be resuscitated to-day, would,
if admitted, denationalise our church, which could no longer
be completely independent if it acknowledged any
degree of authority in an assembly where other
churches were represented, whose united episco-
pate would be more numerous than our own.
Similar considerations apply to the proposed constitution
of a voluntary spiritual tribunal to decide questions of
doctrine carried on appeal from the colonial churches.
Here, also, we should have a foreign authority, unknown
to our law, confronting the legitimate authorities of our
national church. Nothing can be more melancholy than
to behold the bishops frittering away their time and
energies upon thee. impracticable dreams, when their
attention is demanded by the most serious and practical
duties.

L-AMBETH.

Peter Forbes, • respectable-looking youth, by trade a
gold cutter, residing at No. 8, Francis-court, Ltet kley-
street, Clerkenwell, was charged before Mr. Elliott with
attempting to pick the pockets of several persons at the
Crystal Palace.
Polka-constable Holmes, 129 P, said he saw the prisoner
at the Palace on Saturday attempting several pockets.
When taken into custody he gave a correct address, and
witness found his family to be very respectable. Nothing
was found on him. This statement was partly borne out
by Police-constable Neville, 41 P.
The prisoner protested his innocence, and called
Mr. Alfred Parkins, of 15, Spencer-street, Clerkenwell,
gold cutter, who said he had been his apprentice between
four and five years. On account of his general excellent
coni:uct witness took him to the Crystal Palace on Satur-
day. He felt confident the police had made a mistake,
for the prisoner bore • most excellent character. He had
frequently entrusted him with hundreds of pounds in gold,
and would again do so.
The magistrate said it appeared possible that there was
sonic mistake on the part of the officer. He should order
his discharge.
The prisoner then left the court with his master and
friends.

SHOCKING RAILWAY ACCIDINT.—Mr. Alderman
George Jobling, one of the owners of Bebside, Walker, and
other large collieries in Northumberland, a shipowner and
borough magistrate in North Shields, met with a frightful
death near to the Howden station of the Tynemouth
branch of the North Eastern Railway on Sunday night.
Mr. Jobling was a resident in the village of Tynemouth,
and on Sunday he bad been dining with his cousin, Mr.
Thomas Jobling, the well-known coal owner and coal
miner at Willington-house. He appears to have got on the
line at the west-end of the WilLington viaduct, and was
%silting down the line to catch the train from Newcastle
to Tynemouth, at the Howden station. He had evidently
forgotten that the train leaves Newcastle at a
quarter to nine on Sunday evenings, instead of
nice o'clock as on week days ; and he bad been
walking within the down rails. He was overtaken
by the quarter to nine train before be could
reach the Howden station. His attention had been
called to the noise made by the approaching train. He
had turned round to look, and he had been imtuedistely
struck in the face by the buffers of the engine, and thrown
with his legs under the wheels. Both of them wete cut
off. The blow from the buffer had also broken in his
chest, and bin face was dreadfully mutilated. The driver
of the engine had felt that he had gone over something,
and ea soon as the train was stopped at Howden a party
ran back to the spot where the accident bad occurred, and
they found Mr. Jobhog's body in the condition described.
He was quite dead. The station master recognised it, and
it was removed to the Hosed= station, where it await, a
corener's inquest.

With regard to the nine for the championship of the

BETTING IN LONDON.-MONDAY.

For the time of the year, and considering the absence of
anything like immediate interest, there was a numerous
muster at the elute to-day, and a considerable amount of
business transacted. As a matter of course, the Derby
was the chief medium of speculation, and several horses
met with extensive and healthy support. The favourite,
Roeiomcian, would have found takers at 100 to 15, but 6
to 1 was the highest price offered. Green Sleeve was
again backed at 1000 to 70, and presented a very firm ap-
tai. Typhceus was again in request; 1000 to 65 was
llile followed by 1500 to 100. The Rail was inquired
after, and would have been befriended at 18 to 1, but 1000
to 60 was the highest offer. Pace, after being laid against
at 1000 to 50, was backed for 150/. at 18 to 1. Blue Gown
occupied precisely the same position as heretofore; 2000 to
100 was taken, but plenty of 20's to 1 were subsequently
forthcoming, and one speculator offered to lay 2250 to 100.
Harvester remained healthy at 1000 to 30. 1000 to 15 was
accepted five or six times about Speculum, and Chelsea at
the extreme outside price of 1000 to 7 had supporters.
Nothing was done on either the Waterloo Cup or the Two

S.S TOPICS.

To the Daily News the domestic architecture of London
appears to offer an architect of genius a field for the
philanthropic exercise of his art. Even the wealthiest
quarters are heavy and dull, and there is everywhere an
ahnoat absolute west of anything approaching to ar-
chitectural design. We havo but little light, and
we make the least of it. We have much rain,
but we give it no chance of washing us clean.
The surfaces of all our buildings absorb the smoke instead
of repelling it, absorb the rain instead of being washed by
it, and absorb the light instead of reflecting it. The Daily
News adopts the suggestion of Mr. Conybeare in the Fort-
nightly Review, that glazed ceramic surfaces be adopted
for our buildings, which would admit of the introduction
of colour, would reflect light, and repel rain ; while con-
crete instead of brick as the material of the building, and
of glazed tiles instead of stucco for the enlace, would have
the advantage of at least equal cheapness and far greater
durability.

Commenting upon the prevent state of American par-
ties, the Tinel sasumes that the vote against 3fr. John-
son's impeachment will confirm him in the course he hu
adopted, and that the result will be a trial of strength on
every question as it arises.

The Herold hopes Mr. Johnson will be silent, and that
the lesson he has already received will suffice to warn him
against the fatal error of compromising, by any outbreak
of temper or imprudent utterance of extreme opinions, in-
terests and objects which he honestly End earnestly
I cherishes, as essential to the well-being of the country and
the real reunion of the divided nation.
The Telegraph attributes the late demonstrations in
Iruland to the earnest Roman catholicism of the three men
who were executed, but thinks that this slight union
between Romsnism and Fenianism cannot last, and that
probably we ■hall best no more of Fenian funeral proces-
sions permitted by the authorities. If such seditious lan-
guage as that recently delivered by a man named Martin
were allowed to be repeated, the impunity would be in-
terpreted as an incentive to license. Thus, we might have
disturbances of such a character as to demand the exercise
of lamentable severity. To save the country from such •
melancholy necessity, the government may have to invoke

POLYTECIINIC INSTITUTION. —A lecture on Abys-
sinia and the Abyssinian Expedition has been added to
the entertainments at this place of amusement. The
lecturer is Mr. T. Baines, F.H.G.S., artist to the North
Australian and Zambesi expeditions, and his lecture is
illustrated by dioramic paintings of his own, representing
some choice portions of Abyssinian and South African
scenery. The lecturer dwells upon the past history and
present physical and social features of the country in
which we are all now so much interested, and describes
the antecedents and character of Theodore, over whose
forces he thinks we shall obtain an easy victory.

A PUBLIC DANCER.—A correspondent, in tho
habit of constantly attending our public places of enter-
tainment, writes —" One of my terrors is at an end—Her
Majesty's Theatre, fortunately Bred on Friday night in-
stead of on Saturday, when I should have taken my place
there. This trap was admirably adapted for rapid and
complete ignition and obstruction to egress, and the con-
sequences would have been awful twenty-four hours later.
There are a few other such tripe into which people ought
not to be enticed. I speak feelingly, having to pass so
many evenings in danger. Exeter-ball, although pretty
safe from lire, is a must dangerous place fur any panic,
real or .feigned, to occur in. But these things are allowed
to go nn, while a chimney-pot a little awry is dealt with
sa a risk to public safety. No thanks to any human fore-
sight that hundreds of lives were not unrifled at Her Ma-
jesty's Theatre, as had it been a night of performance
there must have bees. I hops the press will aotise this."

THE HIGH PRICE OF PROVISIONS,—At Wor-
cester, within the last few days, many of the walls of the
city have been covered with scrolls of • highly inflamma-
tory character, relating chiefly to the price of bread; and
amongst the most discontented of the poorer classes there
have bren rumours of an intended demonstration in con-
nection with the high rate of provisions. Although no
action has as yet been considered necessary, the 80-noise-

THE VISIT OF THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH.
DR. LIVINGSTONE BELIEVED TO BE
ALIVE.
PLYMOUTH, Ocr. V.

The Union Company's steamer Roman with the
above mail has arrived here. Her dates are the
Cape of Good Hope, Sept. 20 ; St. Helena, the
28th; and Ascension, Oct. 2. Sho brings 55 pas-
sengers, 65 invalids and time-expired men from
different regiments, with 2 women and 2 children,
5 boxes of specie, and a full general cargo. The
mails were landed here, and the Union proceeded
to-day for Southampton.
At the Cape the visit of the Duke of Edinburgh
and the doings of his royal highness have been
the leading topics of the month. The Prince en-
tered into the spirit of such festivities as the colo-
nists were able to provide for him with the utmost
heartiness and good will. After a round of public
appearances at balls and places of amusement, and
laying the foundation stone of a graving dock in
Table Bay for iron-dads, he proceeded to
linysma, on an elephant hunting expedition, where
two elephants were shot and a large number of
I lesser game. His royal highness then returned to
attend a ball in the dockyard at Simon's Town, on
Sept. 20.
Mr. J. S. Moffatt, an African missionary, and
the brother-in-law of Dr. Livingstone, had pub-

that the latter was still alive. Mr. Moffatt states
that a report had been received at Zanzibar of
Livingstone's passage through a district more re-
mote than the place where he was said to have
been killed.

An unusual spread of fever had taken place in
Cape Town, and occasioned much anxiety. There
had been a large number of fatal cases, principally
among the poorer population, but several persons
among the wealthier classes had also succumbed.
The Basuto war was proceeding. There had
been some severe fighting.
Another ecclesiastical dispute had occurred. The
Revs. Messrs. Walter and Crompton had tried to
prevent Bishop Colenso from officiating in Pine
Town church but had failed.

The Dutch Quinquennial Synod was to be
opened on October 8, when important discussions
on the relation of the Dutch church with the
state and on its church discipline were expected
to occupy a large portion of the session.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE

?iIONITECR".

PARIS, Ocr. ?2.

The .3fonitoo- of this morning says In pre-
sence of the aggression of which the Pontifical
States have been the object on the part of the
revolutionary bands who have crossed the Papal
frontier, the French government had formed the
resolution to send an expeditionary corps to Civita
Vecchia. The measure was in process of accom-
plishment, for with a due regard for its duty, its
dignity, and its honour, the government could not
expose itself to seeing the signature of France,
which is affixed to the Convention of the Path
September, 1864, violated or misapprehended.
The Italian cabinet, however, categorically declared
to the government of the Emperor that all
necessary measures have been adopted to
prevent the invasion of the Pontifical States, and to
render the convention entirely efficacious. In con-
sequence of these communications the Emperor has
given orders to stop the embarkation of the troops."
The Dioniteur also says :—" A telegraphic de-
spatch from Florence announces that the King of
Italy has accepted the resignation of Signor Rat-
tazzi and has charged General Cialdini with the
formation of a now Cabinet."

JOURNEY OF THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA.
MUNICH, OCT. 22.

The Emperor of Austria, accompanied by Baron
Beust and Count Andrassy, passed through this
city during the night. His Majesty was welcomed
by Prince Adalbert, of Bavaria, and the other
princes of the royal house. It is considered doubt-
ful whether tho Emperor will meet the King of
Bavaria upon his return from Paris, as some cool-
ness exists between their Majesties since the rup-
ture of King Louis's engagement with the Duchess
Sophia.

THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION.

Commenting upon the explanations which three mem-
bers of the cabinet have lately offered on the subject of the
Abyssinian expedition, the Dail!, NC H% observes that the
feeling of the country is interpreted by Lord Stanley and
Sir Stafford Northcote, rather than by Sir John Peking.
ton, wbo seems to regard the expedition as a gallant enter-
prise, which makes the national pulse beat high with
the joy of battle. The expedition is a very disagreeable
necessity which cannot be avoided. We would rather
not touch Ring Theodore at all if we could help it, but
the sanctity of envoys is involved in Mr. Rassam's case,
and were we to leave the prisoners of Magdallah unres-
' cued or unavenged no British resident at an eastern court
would be safe. Sir Robert Napier, as Sir Stafford North-
' cote informed the farmers of Ramesh, goes out with
political as well as military powers. He has authority to
i negotiate as well as to fight. As he will negotiate with
an army behind him, there is some hope that his diplo-
macy may prove more successful than that of Mr.
Rassam. But the possibility, which we fear is also •
probability, must be confronted, that the warlike prepa-
rations which have been made will require to be used.
Here the difficulty begins. There is every ground to feel
trait in the resources provided by the government, and
in the skill of Sir Hobert Napier, but every one will be
gratified if the display of force is so cogent as to dispense
with the necessity of using it.

OLYMPIC.

A new farce—needlessly prolonged to two acts,
and doubtless founded on some longer French piece with
which we are not fandliar—wu produced at this house
lest night under the title of JII had One Thousand a• Year,
the adapter being Mr. J. M. Morton. The success it met
with is chiefly owing to the funny and thoroughly Morto-
Ann dialogue of the adapter, and the freshness and viva-
city infused into the principal character by Mr. Charles
Mathews. Mr. Mathews represents a government clerk,
who is tired of the comfortable monotony of his existence,
and who seeks to obtain an independence by speculating
oft the Bourse—we beg pardon, the Stock Exchange—and,
of course, gets himself into a difficulty from which he is
extricated by a relative. Mr. Mathews is supported by
Mr. Horace Wigan, Miss Louisa Moore, and Mrs. St.
Henry, who help to make this somewhat disjointed, but
highly moral, trifle endurable.

THE TRENCH INT/MIDMOST IN ITALY.

The Times supposes the King of Italy to be now
prepared to proclaim that Italy cannot go to war with
France, and must therefore renounce all thought of over-
throwing the Papacy by violent means. For such a policy
a better choice than Cialdini, who is a man without poli-
tical precedents, could not have been made. The moment,
however, is very critical, and if Garibaldi is on the Papal
territory, even the present act of the drama would probably
not be closed without a tragic scene ; nor would it most
certainly be the last act. Whatever may be the actual
upshot of the movement at the present moment, the diffi-
culties with which the new government will find itself
beset on its first installation are so great and so many that
it is impossible to look forward even to the immediate
future with anything like confidence.
The postponement of the French expedition to Rome is
a legitimate cause for congratul►tion, but the Daily Nora
fears that the Italian crisis is likely to be intensified if this
intervention continues to be as active politically as before.
The imperialist organs represent that Victor Emmanuel
has surrendered to the Emperor on all points, and is pre-
pared to employ the national forces of Italy in a work
which must be hateful and injurious to the nation ; but
the Daily News prefers to suspend a judgment until
Cialdini and his new cabinet by some unequivocal sot
prove that be has undertaken to do the will of the French
Emperor. The King won his present position by risking
hie crown rather than permitting Italy to be at the mercy
of a foreign power, and he holds it only on condition of
protecting the independence of the nation, as no one
understands better than General Cialdini. For this
reason the Daily News suspects that the sinister congratu-
lations of the French semi-official press are premature.
The 111 rald congratulates Victor Emmanuel on his sup-
posed surrender, as it considers the success of the red-
shirted bands would have been a heavy misfortune for the
world. The people of Italy must restrain their impatience
and be content to wait a more favourable opportunity. The
Standard is proud in having been almost alone on this side
of the Channel in having predicted that Italy would re-
cede from her position. Italy may yet have to confront
grave perils, but Cialdini has a firmer hand than Rattaui,
and the Standard does not fear the result.

Arguing that Cialdini would be even less disposed than
his predecessor to favour the invasion of the Pope's
dominions, the Telegraph says he was known to have taken
peat umbrage at the exorbitant demands put forward by
the officers of the Sicilian expedition for promotion in the
ranks of the Italian army; and at the time of As-
promonte he expressed himself with possibly undue
severity concerning the ex-dictator, for whom he has
always entertained a very meagre sympathy.
The Slay cannot disguise from itself that even in going
so far as he has already done, the Emperor Napoleon has
committed an unfortunate blunder.

temporal power in a firm and legal manner, and
without doubt Spain would accept the proposition
of France. The financial question had been

of the accident, and the passengers and luggage tranaferred to
a special train sent from Lynn. On Chruitrnu-eve a porter,
named Edward Howe, was killed at the Mannuigtree
station, having been fearfully crushed between buffers
while shunting trucks. The poor fellow, who had been
ten pen in the company's service, died almost instan-
taneously ; he leaves a wife and family. As Mr. Haycock,
of Witney Farm, Tyteld, was stepping out of a train at
°agar, his foot slipped, and be went down between the
carriages and the platform. He was much injured, his
ribs on one side being broken in, and after a few hours
death terminated his sufferings.
