LONDON BALLAD CONCERTS.

A new aeries of these entertainments, under the
direction of Mr. John Boos►, was commenced last night
at St. James's-ball. The programme comprised some
well-known ballads and songs by Arne, Storace, Horn,
and Bishop, with others ty Alexander Lee, Hatton, Na-
than. Claribel, and some from less familiar sources, all
which received due (in some instances undue) effect from
the expressive singing of such artists as Madame Lem-
mens-Sherrington, Madame Sainton-Dolby, Mademoi-
selle Liebhart, Mr. Cummings, ■nd Mr. Lewis
Thomas. Some glees and part-songs were very nicely
sing by the St. Cecilia Choral Society, directed by
Mr. C. J. Hargitt ; and the vocal music was agreeably
diversiAed by a violin solo on Scotch airs, brilliantly
played ►y M. Sainton, and some pianoforte pieces, ad-
mirably executed by Madame Arabella Goddard—Thal-
berg's Maasniello fantasia, and Benedict's "Erin"—the
former vociferously encored, and responded to by the
same composer's fantasia on " The last rose of summer."
Mr. J. L Hatton accompanied the vocal solos with his
usual skill and care.

ALIIAMBRA.• —A few weeks ego we had to notice
• new comic ballet at this theatre of varieties, and this
week a new " Rustic Ballet" has been produced, under
the title of May Blossoms, which introduces nearly all the
Old English dances that have been celebrated in England
for many centuries. The scene, painted by Mr. William
Calloott, is profusely decor►ted with real shrubs, wood.
foliage and artificial Bowers, the dances—including the
maypole and morns dance—have been srranged by Mr.
Milano, and the music, selected from old English airs, is
the work of Mr. Riviere. The ballet is performed by a
mixed company of men and women, about eighty in
number, and is the second of the three ballets of the
evening.

THE PRUSSIAN POLICY.

The Augsburgh Gazette says that since a military
man has been put at the head of the Italian
ministry the policy of the Prussian government,
which before was reserved and neutral, has gone
unreservedly with Italy. In other terms, as long
as M. Bismarck supposed the French government
would oppose no serious obstacle to the Italian as-
pirations he kept aloof, but when the second
French expedition to Rome was decided upon, he
showed another phase of his policy.

(Before the Recorder.)

George Dorsett, 34, stoker, William Grigg, 24, labourer,
Octave Grigg, 21, sawyer, and lrilliaas 3),
labourer, who stood remanded from last session, were
indicted for burglary in the dwelling•house of Thomas
Fairhead, and stealing 311 e. in silver and copper money.
At the close of the evidence, the jury returned a verdict
of Guilty against the whole of the primoners. They were
apprehended after a desperate resistance, mainly through
the exertion' of Constable Foy. whose conduit was so
praiseworthy, that the learned Recorder awarded him a
sum of 21. The prisoners were shown to have been asso-
ciated with thieves, and it was stated that previous to
their apprehension there had been nine or ten burglaries
committed in the neighbourhood, bat subsequently there
had not been a single offence of this kind.
The Recorder sentenced William Grigg to 1S months,
George Dorsett and William Williams to 12 months, and
George Grigg to nine months' imprisonment.

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, °cr. EVENING.

In to-day's sitting of the Upper House of the
Reicharath the bill upon the powers of the govern-
ment and the executive was passed, with some im-
material amendments and several supplementary
clauses, as drawn up by the Lower House. Before
the adoption of the bill Count Taafe, on behalf of
the wivernment, made a speech in its support. He
declared that the government looked upon this bill
which had been originated by the initiative of the
Lower House, and modified, but not fundamentally
altered, by the committee of the Upper House, as a
completion of the institutions and constitution of
the State. The government, he added, had openly
and honourably entered upon a constitutional path,
and they considered it their duty to go forward in
it in the same honourable manner.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(ERODE OUR OWN CORRISPONDINT.)
PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVININO.

An extraordinary council of ministers was held
at St. Cloud to-day, in the Emperor's presence.
Despatches of great importance from Berlin are
said to have occasioned this meeting. The Marquis
Pepoli, who has been greatly mixed up in the
recent negotiations between Florence and Paris,
has just left for Berlin.

The Emperor of Austria has had a very long
conference with the Emperor Napoleon at St.
Cloud. -Francis Joseph will take leave of his host
at Compikgue on Monday, November 4.
It is affirmed in many quarters that within the
last two or three days Prussian diplomacy has been
greatly occupied with Italian affairs. " Bismarck
to the rescue" I anticipated last week would be the
cry of Italy, and more than ever, I think it a good
cry.

The Patric says that the mission of General
La Marmore to Paris is to renew a request of the
King, refused a short time ago, that France would
graciously be pleased to allow some Italian regi-
ments to occupy Rome jointly with a French army.
In some quarters, however, it is denied this even-
ing that La Marmara is coming to Paris at all.
General Picard's division of the army of Paris
has received orders to hold itself in readiness to
leave for Italy.
The preparations for war are made on a scale
which most clearly shows that the' French govern-
ment anticipates a far more important conflict than
Garibaldi's volunteers could threaten.
There is no certain news either from Florence
or Rome ; but I doubt if General Menabres can
stay the national impulse to second Garibaldi.
It is stated that the Marquis de Galliffet's wound
in the duel with Prince Achille Murat is extremely
painful, and will probably confine him to his house
for a long time. He received a sword thrust in
the muszle a little above the knee, and had great
difficulty in getting into his carriage afterwards.
The Bourse was to some extent sustained by
rumours of a congress "to settle the Roman
question." Rente closed with a rise of 15c. for
cash, and a fall of sc. for account, at GEffr. and
Gdfr. 75c. Italian rose 25c. In other securities
there is little change.

THE FENIAN TRIALS AT MANCHESTER.

(RE TELEGRAPH.)

MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.

The case for the prosecution closed this morning.
Mr. Digby Seymour took the objection that Kelly and
Deasey being detained under a warrant irregularly made
out for felony, and therefore illegal, anything they did to
escape detention must be excused, and such excuse ex-
tended to friends aiding them.
The question is still under argument.

TWO POLICEMEN SHOT AT DUBLIN.

(BY TRLEGRAPH.)
DUBLIN, THURBDAT MORNING.

Two policemen were shot this morning on
Wellington-quay ; one of them, Sergeant Kelly, it is be-
lieved, cannot survive ; and it is feared the other is mor-
tally wounded alto. Both were shot in the chest. It is
said the assassin came deliberately up to one unsuspect-
ing policeman, and, having shot him, walked down the
quay a short distance, and shot the other, who was on the
same beat. There is no doubt that it is a Fenian outrage.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.—(THIS DAY.)
There VIIA only a moderate supply of English wheat on
sale here to-day. The attendance of millers was rather
limited and all kinds moved off slowly. Good and flue
samples supported previous rates ; but inferior kinds were
offered on rather lower terms. The condition of the
sum ay was only middling.
The show of foreign wheat was by no means extensive,
yet all kinds meta slow inquiry, at last Monday's cur-
. _

English barley came slowly to hand ; but the supply of
foreign was good. Sales progressed slowly, at the late de-
cline in value.

Malt was in full average supply, and sluggish request,
on former terms.

Although the supply of oats was less extensive than in
several previous weeks, the oat trade was quiet, on former
tenni+.

The supply of beans was good. Most kinds were a slow
inquiry, and inferior parcels were rather cheaper. In peas
very little was Imaging at previous rates.
The sale for flour, both English and foreign, was very
quiet, at late currencies.
There was rather more inquiry for agricultural seeds, at
full prices. Cakes were held on former terms, to an
advance of ris. per ton.
There has been a firm demand for floating cargoes of
grain, and wheat he. advanced Is. to thi. per quarter since

THR TREATIES WITH PRUSSIA.

Count Bismarck's budget of novelties, the Daily
News says, must now be eihauvted. With Wirtemberg,
the last Gentian state which seemed to withstand the com-
pletion of the national unity has been visibly brought into
the circle. This is the greatest wonder of all. Laden
seemed likely to accept the Prussian leadership ; Ba-
varia might be induced to do so ; but Wirtem-
berg—hard, sullen, recalcitrant—would be sure to
resist. This kingdom, however, is no exception
to the rule, and the telegraph announces that
the treaty by which its army is placed under the command
of the King of Prussia in timeof war has been published in
the Stuttgart official 0a.:414.. The date of the instrument is
August 'A nearly coincident with that of the treaty be.
tween Prussia and Bavaria. Germany is now organised
militarily—that is to say, for defence. This is a piquant
commentary on the famous circular of the media-
tor of the Treaty of Prague. In that document
too, the Emperor spoke of a German confedera-
tion of the South which has not been rwli•ed,
and which would now be impossible ; not, however, that
the point is of any practical importance, since the consoli-
dation of Germany can in no wise give umbrage to France.
The First Napoleon, as the Moniker has observed, effaced
250 independent states in that country ; and the Third
Napoleon has said, "By imitating France, Germany has
taken a step which draws her nearer to us."

The Herald describes the feeling in France to be, that
Prussia has been permitted to aggrandise herself at the
expense and to the humiliation of France, and many be-
lieve that a collision between French and Prussian claims
will take plate respecting the fortress and territory of
Luxembourg. What is chiefly to be feared is the growth
in the French mind of a public opinion, convinced of its
own patriotism, which in the long run, if it cannot ilia-
cover a legitimate excuse for reasserting by force of arms
the continental ascendancy of France, will invent and con-
trive one, rather than that Prussia should continue to claim
a menacing equality with " the great nation."

THE GOI EMMEN-7 POLICY OX KC FORM.

Either Mr. Disraeli, says the Tine; must defend ell the
variations, restrictions, and fantastic counterpoises as
essential parts of the bill or he must Asmara' some or give
substantial reasons for retaining the others. There
is little doubt that ho will elect the latter course.
Dual voting is fore-doomed ; the lodger fraulhiso
cannot be resisted ; the educational franchise will
probably excite no serious discussion ; and eva-ything
will ultimately turn on the clauses defining and
limiting household suffrage and upon the sche-
dules annexed to part 2. If Mr. Disraeli is prepared
frankly to entertain the idea of giving the Small Tene-
ments Act an uniform application to all boroughs, mid
making the franchise co-extensive with the difeet pay-
ment of rates, we should not despair of an agreement
between him and Mr. Gladstone as to the point at
which personal rateability and electoral power should
cease together, or as to the proper term of residence to
be required, not from the new electors only, but
from all occupiers who claim registration. A return lately
issued entirely confirms the opinion that a 51. rating fran-
chise would be found nearly equivalent to a 71. rental
franchise. Surely this fact affords at least a starting- ,
point for negotiation, always supposing the existence of an
earnest and sincere resolution on both sides of the house to
solve the problem of reform. The Timrs concludes with
strongly urging the importance of settling reform this
year, mainly from the consideration that, in the opposite
case, the discontent of the people would be concentrated
in the House of Commons.

The Daily News thinks it is only fair to Mr. Disraeli to
as.ume that if the statistical returns which were pub-
lished in the Express on Saturday, had been in his own
hands when he framed the clauses relating to the house-
hold franchise in boroughs, those clauses would not have
appeared in their present shape. A so-called measure of
household suffrage in boroughs which leaves out two-
thirds of the borough householders whom it pretends to

THE REPIUMENTATIVES OP THE THONMASTERPI.

Messrs. Creed and Williams, the Daily News says, have
brought home no practical suggestions from all they have
seen abroad, save such as imply that everything in England,
except the conduct of ironmasters, isfundarnentallywrong.
Competition, no doubt, has formidably increased, but
there remains the fact that our own iron works have in-
creased their production by nearly fifty per cent, at the
same time, forcing the conclusion that the iron trade still
pays. Had we not had the foreign competition, of course
it would have paid excessively, and this we cannot but
suspect is the real source of the grievance complained of.
No doubt wherever the unions, of which Messrs. Creed
and Williams complain, cramp the energies, they are in
error ; but they have their good aide even in limit-
ing competition, for they prevent struggles which
would increase cheapness by depreciating quality, and
turn away to other avocations, at home or in
the colonies, that over-supply of labour which
by doing cheap work would result in doing bad work.
If combination is sometimes not wise, it is because it
is =instructed, and the fault lies in those who have met
it as an enemy, instead of treating It as a friend. If it
ever grows oppressive, the law Is against it, and the public
is ready to support the law. These gentlemen com-
plain that the education offered to workmen is not indus-
trial; but if their object is to have such an education im-
parted as should teach no faculty but that exercised in a
mao's trade, it would be adapted only for slaves, or for
the members of a fixed and inevitable caste.
In the conviction that iron will not be the worse
pud.lled by these who struggle to be not always
puddlers, we cannot consent to abandon the
system of education which takes count of the
mind and soul, as well as of the hands and stomach.
So with their chief ground of opposition to the principle
of participation in profits by capital and labour, the Daily
News cannot see why if the concern is a losing one the
workmen should not be offered ocular demonstration, from
the books, that the wages must be reduced. The results
of Messrs. Creed and Williams's letter nre to be regretted
most of all, because they seem to indicate a spirit that
asks all and concedes nothing, that demands labour as its
right and refuses to see that the labourer has his rights
also.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-JAN. 16.

Sittings at Nisi Prius.—(Before Mr. Baron Bramwell and
• Common Jury.)
POCHZT V. MIMI.

This was an action against the defendant, a captain in
the 13th Hawn, and now on duty with his regiment in
Canada, to recover the amount of • milliner's bill

Mr. Charles Russell appeared for the plaintiff; Mr.
H. James for the defendant.

The plaintiff carried on the business of a milliner, under
the name of Madame Josephine, in Montpellier-equare,
Brampton, and amongst her customers was a Miss Sey-
mour, who lived in Trevor-terrace, in the immediate
neighbourhood. Captain Miles had resided in the same
house with Miss Seymour, and while he was there the lady
took the name of Mrs. Miles, and incurred expenditure in
that assumed character. The captain had paid Madame
Josephine 191. by cheque for articles supplied to Miss Sey-
mour before she passed as Mn. Miles, and had in writing
promised to satisfy the present claim, which amounted to
about 57/. The different items in the plaintiff's bill were
said to be fair and reasonable. _ . _

The defendant pleaded never indebted, but there was
substantially no defence to the action. An observation
made by Mr. James, with a kind of forlorn hope, that
" his client was abroad fighting for his country," led to •
jocular passage of arms. in the course of which it was ex.
plained that the captain was on active service looking
after the Fenian., and an opinion expressed from the
bench that the duty would, probably, not involve him in
any very serious business, accompanied by a hope that be
would, at any rate, be more successful in Canada than he
bad been in this case.

The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. The
damages amounted to the full sum sued for.

to improve her education. She, however, thought fit to
return to her father's. Bhe afterwards fell into bad
habits, and it was alleged that she had been leading a life
of prostitution.

Oars o'Cwcz.

The stock markets are flat to-day, owing chiefly to
the announcement that no alteration has been made
in the Bank of England rate of discount. A reduc-
tion to 3 per cent. was at one period expected, but the
subsequent revival in the demand for gold for ex-
portation to the Continent, leading to the purchase
of all the arrivals, and the withdrawal of 30,000!. from
the Bank yesterday, removed this impression. The
introduction of the new Chilian Loan has also led
to some speculative sales. Consols are still offered,
and have experienced a fresh decline of per
cent. Some of the foreign stocks have also re-
ceded to I ; and banking and financial shares are
dull. London Financial are 3!. lower than yester-

so many lately. But in the course of the morning Len

which comes under the head of " sensational," not only
on account of its extensive character, but because in the
course of last week there were manifest efforts in certain
quarters to drive the horse back in the market, and aU
sorts of reports were set afloat. With this exception, the
market remains about the same as quoted in the betting
at Tattersall's on Monday. The few quotations that
cropped up were asfollows

remain a further 6s. Bd. to complete the diocharge
of the bank's liabilities. The liquidator has esti-
mated in his report that a surplus will be left
after paying the creditors in full. Under these

cirounatnricee there is a strong feeling in favour of
resuscitating the bank, and it is understood that a
number of the leading shareholders will shortly
meet together to discuss the proposal. Letters
from Bombay show that this course would also be
regarded with great favour there.
A special meeting of the New Zealand Trust and

THE INQUE3T.

The inquest upon the bodies recovered was
opened last evening by Dr. Lankester, in the boanl-room
of the Maryleboue Workhouse. Thecoroner during the
investigation was assisted by his deputy, Dr. Hardwkle ;
and while the proceedings were going on, the adjacent
rooms of the workhouse and the street entranses were oc-
cupied by an excited crowd. A jury oonsisting of nineteen
persons, of whom Mr. W. Robinson, of 79, Baker.street,
was chosen foreman, having been empanelled, the coroner
announced that a list of the dead bodies identified had
been prepared by Mr. Douglas, the master of the work-
house. He also mentioned that it was not his intention
to do more ►t that sitting than take evidence of identifi-
cation. He proposed that they should afterwards adjourn
until Monday next. In the meantime other bodies might
be recovered, but those that were now in the house could
be removed for burial by their friends at the close of this
sitting. The list to which the coroner referred was as
follows:

THE ACCIDENT IN RECENT'S-PARK.

The persons most to blame, in the opinion of
the Times, in the distressing calamity at Regent's-park,
were those who rashly ventured to remain on the ice when
they must have been aware that it was in a moat dan-
gerous condition. Assuming th►t the recklessness of the
public on such oceuions is almost inevit►ble, the Times
urges that the danger should be diminished by reducing
the water everywhere to a moderate depth. This
has been dose in St. James's-park, with the
greatest advantage to the condition of the water. The
mud has been cleared out, and the depth has been
regulated so as to be nowhere greater than five feet.
Such a depth is amply sufficient for bathing, and for all
purposes of amusement in the summer ; while in winter
the ice freezes far more readily and firmly. This arrange-
ment would remove almost entirely the danger of skating.
Of course, even in the shallowest water, if there is a
strong stream, a person might be sucked under the ice
but this would be the only source of peril. At least, such
an accident as has now overtaken us in the Regent's-park
would be rendered absolutely impossible ; and if the
blame for not having prevented this disaster is to be laid
anywhere, it must be at the door of the Commissioners
of Works.

The Herald and the Star have the same suggestion.
The former adds that a moderate supply of deal planks
pushed into the Broad Water on Tuesday afternoon
would probably have been the means of saving many who
perished. Something of the kind would bs a cheap and
effective auxiliary to the more recondite appliances of the
Royal Humane Society.
The Telegraph insists that the whole system of park
management requires a strict revision, and ventures to in-
timate to Lord John Manners, Mr. Walpole, and Sir
Richard Mayne that the police may occasionally be useful
in the parks, even if no meeting of reformers is expected
to take place there.

THE LABOUR QUESTION.

The Times says that the meaning of the address which
the trades' unions of Sydney have sent over (and which we
give in another column) is simply that their market is
overstocked, and th►t immigration is but productive of
evil. To the great amount of immigration and to
the importation of articles produced in their trades,
do they attribute the general distress. It does
not occur to them that if protection is fair for one
trade it is fair for all, and that if the carpenter or
joiner could get a little more work by having his own
way in this matter, be would at the same time have
to pay twice as much as before for his furniture and
his utensils, his clothes and his shoes. That is the point
which is always overlooked in such arguments. Accepting
the statistics of these documents as substantially true, the
rialtt observes in that case our working-classes at home
may well ask themselves whether they have not more rea.
son to be content than they appear to believe.

PprALIRATION OF POOR RATER.

The facts of the case against the present system
of r►ting in the metropolis may be summed up, s►ys the
Daily Nevi, in one sentence, that in London taxation for
the support of the poor is cast upon the poor, the pres-
sure of the inequality being so enormous in some cases
that in parts of London the relief of pauperism is
itself making paupers. In the opinion of the Daily News
equalisation of the metropolitan rates is not only •
corollary from the principles of the Union Chargeability
end the Homeless Poor Acta of previous sessions, but
it is necessary in order to prevent the great reform in the
law of settlement, with which the name of Mr. Villiers is
honourably associated, from creating hardships almost as
severe as those which it abates. The present state of
the law throws upon the poorest parishes and unions the
obligation to support men who may have been attracted
to London by • temporary demand for labour in the
richest quarters ; for the poor who labour in rich
districts do not live there. In effect, it perpetuates an
abuse analogous to that of the close parishes which the
Union Chargeability Act was intended to sweep away.
To • favourite argument for the m►intenance of things as
they are, the Daily News replies that the tenant has in
truth to pay a rent which will give the landlord the usual
profit upon his capital, and he has to pay the poor rates
in addition. This he ten seldom afford to do ; there is
consequently no demand for new houses in poor localities,
and the abuses of overcrowding and sub-letting are fos-
tered. For these evils and all their demoralising conse-
quence. the present system is largely responsible.
Things cannot remain as they are. A measure of peddling
and retching each as Mr Gathome Hardy seems to favour
will afford another proof of the inability of the rich alone
to legislate properly for the poor, and afford an argument
for large political changes as the indispensable means of
redressing social wrongs.

of intoxication. The are is a melancholy one, but the
number of similar cases that continually come to the
notice of the police, although not so glaring aa this one,
• should awaken the benevolent to some course of action
that would redeem the children raised in this locality
from the career of crime in which they are nurtured from
infancy. A private meeting of a few citizens was held
yesterday, for the purpose of taking the condition of these
unfortunates into constderation, but no course has as yet

SToLeN 7i:ltT V. —The Court of Queen's
Beech, on Saturday. gave • most important judgment on
the subject of ale possession of stohm property, which, it
is said, reverses procticilly the decisions of the metropo-
litan police magistrates for the last twenty yearn in the
CAM of mat ine.store dealers. The defendant wan sen-
tenced by Mr. d'Eync,.urt to two months' imprisonment for
having in his shop 17...1b. of lead of which be could give
no satisfactory account, and which was stolen by some
boys from a nehilihouring unoccupied house, and was pur-
chased by the defendant for 10s. The court of quarter
sessions affiraied the decision of the insgintrate, and the
matter now came before the court upon appeal. Tho
point raised was whether the words in the act' having in
his pomession" were r.:qslicable to the person who had
stolen the goods or to the person who wan afterwards
found to be in possession of them. Their lordships de-
cided that the words did sot apply to the appelLmt. and
quashed the conviction, with the remark that " it was a
great pity that the law did not now meet each • cane ea
, the present, hat it was to be hoped that it would soon be
altered."
