MISCELLII(SOUS TOPICS.

In the midst of our civilisation, says the Times—revert-
ing to the Indian famine—in the second century of our
rule, after a season of unexampled prosperity, and with
prospects brighter than had ever been offered before, a
visitation which might have been disarmed, if not averted,
by wise administration, has destroyed a million of human
beings. Cuttack is only a little further from Calcutta
than York is from London, and had grain been conveyed
there a large proportion of these victims would have
been saved from a miserable death. The truth, it is to be
feared, is the effort was not so much as made until the
dearth had nearly done its worst ; and why this relief
was thus withheld or delayed is the question to which an
answer must be forthcoming.
The Daily News gives an account of a judgment which
Sir Joseph Arnould, the Chief Judge of the Supreme
Court of Bombay, has delivered in a remarkable case, in-
volving the most abstruse points of Mohammedan doctrine
and ritual. Since the strange current of events ham
made a Christian court to be the arbiter between rival
Mohammedan fanatics, it is pleasant to see such singular
functions discharged with a dignity and lucid discrimina.

CHARGE ACAISBT AN HERBALIST DOCTOR

A tall, gentlemanly-looking man, who gave the name of
William kolket, and was described on the charge-sheet
as • " medical man" residing at 51, High-street, Camden-
toe a, was charged before Mr. Barker with using a certain
instrument on Mary Ranstead, and administering a certain
drug to her, thereby procuring abortion.
Mr. Ricketts, solicitor, of Frederick-street, Gray's-inn-
road defended.

The evidence wax little more than that the prisoner
Lad sold medicine to the girl Ransteml, and attended her
after her confinement, on being sent for. He then said
she had deceived him as to her condition. She was not
among the witnesses.

Mr.
Mr. Henry Charles Andrews, M.D., divisional surgeon,
of I,o*kley-square, St. Pancras, said—l went to the police-
station, and was shown four bottles and two pill-boxes. I
afterwards went with the constable to 9, Pluenix-street,
Somers-town, and saw a young woman lying there ill. I
saw the dead body of a female child lying there on a cloth.
I examined the young woman, and found evidence of re-
cent delivery.
By Mr. Ricketts—l examined the woman, and found no
marks of violence. The patient is going on very well.
There was nothing lumina in her appearance from other
women who have recently had children. Of course. I can-
not say what the pills and the mixture are made of unless •
most minute dards is made.

Police-sergeant 36 Y,iaet„,.en "d 4
o'clock in the morning I went to the residence of the pri.
loner, 51, High-street, Camden-town. The r me
to the dam., and I told him I wanted bim. =eked Ca
me
what for. I said, " For causing a female, residing at
Phcenix-street, tofive untimely birth to a female child:"
He asked me in what way he caused it. I told him from
what I understood by operating en her with in-
struments, and also for giving her drug.. He
said, " I never operated on her with an instru-
ment, but I did examine her in my room." I
said, " I understand you have attended her for
the last two months, that you have given her medicine,
and that she said so." He said "She must be • peat stet/.
teller ; I never saw her before last Tuesday." I said " She
has 6,lven you 31." He said, " Yes, I have received 31. from
her, but that was for future attendance." At the police.
station the prisoner, when told the charge, said be had
been attending the woman for two months.
By Mr. Ricketts—The defendant did not my that the
31. was for a course of medicine and vapour baths that she
was to undergo.
Mr. Ricketts said that the prisoner was a member of
the Eclectic and Hygienic Institution, and, as such, was
instructed not to undertake such cases. It was plain Ahat
the prisoner had been deceived by the woman. He con-
tended that no case was made out against the prisoner
that there was not a tittle of evidence about the use of
instruments, or that the drugs weredeleterious ; and that,
therefore, the prisoner was entitled to his discharge.
Mr. Barker discharged the prisoner.

WHAT THE BI,HoPS HAVE DONE.

Could the resolutions of the late conference of
bishops be carried out, they would produce, the Times
argues, the moat injurious consequences. If one of them
means anything, it asserts that some new assembly ought
to be devised which shall be superior not only to the colo-
nial churches, but to the existing convocation of the
English church itself, which church would be laid at the
feet of a mixed assembly in which there was • prepontie.
ranee of Americans and colonists. The necessary effect of
a pan-Anglican synod must be to admit strangers to •
voice in the alai.' of the church of England,
but the English people all no more endure the
meddling of Amei:cs,u bishops than of an Italian priest,
The proposal of the conference, of the establishment
of an ecclesiastical tribunal which shall decide, on appeal
from the Colonial Churches, what is the true sense of the
fomiulai:es of the Church of England, comes in direct col-
lision with our present court of appeal, the Judicial Con..
mittee of the Privy Council, and the result would be that
the opinions tolerated by the latter would be condemned
by the former. What would be the consequences to the
peace of the church we need not describe. By all mean.,
let the colonists and the Americans do so if they please.
They are pei:ectly free. But let their proceedings be
confined to the Colonies and to A merles. It will never be
endured that this country should be made the centre of ap
" ecclesiastical domination," rivalling and disputing the
conclusions of English law.

Sharp, butcher, of Air-street, Piccadilly, wu charged
before Mr. Knox with stealing above 1201135. of beef and
mutton, of the value of 4i., from his employer, and Bettie-
Mill Wren, a butcher, residing at No. 19, Rutland-street,
Pimlico, was charged with receiving the same with a

soner Chandler admit Wren to his master's shop this
morning about half-past 6, and Wren left with • bag con-
taining about 120Ibs. of beef and mutton. He followed
Wren and took him into custody and afterwards went and
took Chandler. Wren said that he received the meat from
a stout elderly man who had brought it from the marketfor him, and that he took the bag from the rulings of •
house in Air-street.

Mr. Knox said the charge was one of joint stealing,
and committed the prisoners for trial.

WOEtSIITP-STREET.
A DIMIONIST BERVANT.

Sarah Ann Smith, a nullen-looking girl, 16 year, of age,
was brought into court by Sergeant Pickles, K ilivisiou,
who said that between 1 and 2 o'clock that morning be
saw her sitting at a ooffee•stall in WhiteohapeL Her ap-
pearance attracted his attention, for, although in the com-
pany of several low prostitute', she wore a black silk
velvet cape, a second one of plush, and indeed a
superfluity of dress that reasonably excited suspicion.
In answer to some questions, she stated that she
had run away (romper home last Friday, and that abs
was desirous of getting back to it ; that her father was
dead, but her mother would gladly receive her. While
making this communication he perceived that she wore
• turquoise ring and a gold brooch set with blue stones.
She refused to tell from whence she had come, and
he therefore took her to the station-house; but
had scarcely done so when the police " route list"
was put into his hand giving an exact description of the
prisoner, who it 'stated hail absconded from her mistress,
a farmer's wife, near Southend, and particularly mentim-
in.; that she carried with her • large carpet bag containing
• quantity of wearing apparel, the property of her mistress,
which it was strongly believed she was wearing.
All this was named to the prisoner, who at onoe
admitted its truth, and mentioned a public house where
she had left her own clothes.

She made no reply to questions put by the magistrate,
except that she came from Essex by train last Friday.
The sergeant received directions to convey her into the
hands of the Essex constabulary.

CHARGE OF CACHING THE DEATH OF A NAN BY A BLOW OF A

HAMMER.
✓ercmiaA Meaney was brought npin custody of Inspector
Nicks, S division, charged with causing the death of Cor
Delius Rayne by striking him on the head with a hammer
initegent'apark-road, on the 17th of August last.

Mr Pain ;appeared for the prisoner.
Inspector Nicks stated that on Sunday afternoon, the
29th ult., he received a communication frum Mr.
Shoppse house-surgeon, University Hospital, to the
effect that the man Hayes was in a dying state,
that he was arffer.ng from a fractured skull, and
be wished to state who caused it. Witness at once,
accompanied by Superintendent Loxton, went to the hoe.
pital. It being Sunday, and the impracticability of obtain.
mg a magistrate, coupled with the dangerous state of
the injured man, induced the inspector to take dowa
his statement, which on Monday he produced before Hr.
d'Eynoourt, who directed Moony to be taken into cus-
tody. This was done, and he was taken to the hospital,
where Mr. d'Eyncourt also attended, and took Hayes 's de-
pition. He said the prisoner was the man who struck
him with a hammer. Upon this he was reminded. He
was now brought up again, and as witnesw, were not in
attendance be was again remanded. Hayes died yester•
day from the effects of the injury.
Mr. Pain said he was Informed that no hammer was
used at all in the affray. He said there were a number of
people about at the time, and no doubt if publicity were
given to the case they would come forward on prisoner's
behalf.

FAR!. RUSSELes IRISH TOUR.

Graceful as was the proffered testimonial of the esteem
of the inhabitants of Belfast, the Daily News thinks Lord
Russell exercised a sound discretion in declining to ac-
cept it. The banquet to which he was invited most
necessarily have bad in some degree a party character.
In the present condition of Ireland, the revival of party
topics, whether historically or as regards the questions of
the future, would bee course of very doubtful expediency.
It would have been easy for the late Prime Minister to
have aide political capital out of his visit to Belfast by a
bold manifesto of liberal policy ; but Lord Russell pre-
ferred, in the actual crisis of affairs, to strengthen the
hands of the government rather then to canvass for popu-
larity against it. The Daily News proceeds to illus-
trate the ciifficulties caused to the Irish executive
through the Orange Society by an allusion to some
proceedings in the county of Down, where the
magistretes under the fear of violent personal denuncia-
tions from a certain Dr. Drew and his friends have with-
drawn a declaration which they had intended to issue con-
demnatory of party processions and displays. The fury
with which the government is now assailed by the same
faction is described as unprecedented, and in these cir-
cumstances Lord Russell's manly expression of confidence
is a public benefit. His reticence on other matters is
equally to be praised. Liberal statesmen are in advance
of their opponents, but even they lag behind the necessi-
ties of the time. Lord Russell has done wisely in not com-
mitting himself to partial views which he might possibly
find speedy occasion to recal or to modify.

The Times takes much the same view of Lord Rus-
sell'. reply, which it says evinoes greater liberality of
spirit than we are accustomed to expect of him. The con-
dition of Ireland is at this moment satisfactory to no one
in the three kingdoms. The statesman who could point
us to a srro and just method of conciliation would deserve
well of his countrymen, and great fame has before now
been acqued by less important serv:ces. If Lord Rouen
cannot assist us in this exigency, he at least ,bat. us from
casting obstacles im the way of other men.

>U TOricg.

The Timer writes in amusing terms upon the appeal M.
de Lemma has just made for subscriptions in England to
the amount of four millions and odd to complete the
Suez Canal. After so many years of inquiry, after each
long, learned, and more or less impartial dissertations pro
and contra, the subject is still involved in all that beauti-
ful obscurity which gave it its main interest at the outset.
That the Suez Canal may be finished is what we all wish
but is what few, if any of us, can even now confidently
assert But whether or not it will pay is a question
which its fresh application for English funds ought to
solve to every man's satisfaction.
Glancing at the irksome duties of the class who wait in
shops, their physical fatigue and trials of patience, the
narrowing effect upon the intellect of perpetual interest
in small transactions, and the rigid limitation of their
horizon, the Daily News proceeds to contend for yet
further opportunities of relaxation for persons so cir-
cumstanced. We write our letters before the post closes
because we know the hour after which it will be useless to
send them. Just so we should do our shopping before the
shops closed if early closing had become a custom. There
is no reason in public convenience or in the necessities of
business why the shops should not generally claw at what
now seems the romantically early hour of 6 in the evening.
The Saturday half-holiday which is so gradually establish-
ing itself in most of our largest cities completes and rounds
off the early closing movement.

According to the Herald it is very unwise to assume
that the Emperor Napoleon will resist the war current.
The chances of peace now rest almost entirely upon the
broken reed of one man's moderation—we may almost say
abnegation—and it needs robust faith, indeed, in the power
and the peaceful intentions of the Emperor Napoleon, to
affirm that ho will or can shirk the war for which he has
certainly been preparing for more than six months.
_ . .

The Telegraph contrasts the free and thoughtful spirit
of the Duke of Argyll's address at Glasgow with the pain-
fully antiquated composition of the Archbishop of Canter-
bury. Toleration, his grace, points out, has substantial
pounds for action, even when it is accompanied with the
faith which prefers death to denial. Chief among these
grounds is, first, that no man is infallible, and, secondly,
that no man can possibly embrace in his religious system
the whole of the truth taught in Christianity.
The Star is in favour of the election of working men to
the House of Commons. Unrepresented classes are always
likely to be conspiring classes, and if the English working
men think they cannot be properly represented without
having some members of their own body in parliament, the
bare fact that they think so is an overwhelming argument
in favour of the expediency of the proposition male on
their behalf.

with numerous supporters.
Notwithstanding strong opposition on the part of

The law lays down the principle of general admis-

Mr. Selfe—How long has he been gone?
Applicant—About 12 month..
Mr. Selfe —What protection do you want?
Applicant—l have a letter in my hand from him at

which he says I must join him in Australia or America;
that nobody else shall possess me. He says that if I don't
have bum nobody else shall have me. I feel in great
danger, knowing as I do what be is.
Mr.;Selfe —I should not think you have much to appre-
hend ; he is pretty safe at present.
Applicant—l don't know that ;he has made two er
three attempts to get away, and may succeed next time.
Mr. Selfe —They will hold him pretty fast. It is not so
easy to get away as you think.
Applicant—This is the sixth time be has been away from
me. Can I have no protection for m' property! I expect
to come into some in a few months' tame, and my husband
may claim it.
Mr. Selfe—Your husband's is an involuntary desertion—
not such a leaving you as the law contemplates.
Applicant—l am afraid he will come back.
Mr. Selfe—lt will be many years hence ; they don't put
with them easily; make yourself contended.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
(THIS DAY.)
We have a large supply of beasts, but the average
quality is inferior. There is but little reduction in prise
of choice descriptions ; trade is, however, very dull for all
kinds. The number of sheep is small, yet it exceeds the
demand, and Monday's quotations cannot be tuaintlined
throughout. Choice calves are still scarce, end mike high
prices. Our foreign supply consists of 782 beasts, 580
sheep, 82 calvesi and 30 p4s.

THE BOARD or TRADE REFEREE.

The Dail.* News prefaces an analysis of the returns of
the Board of Trade for 1866 with a complaint of the in-
creasing delay which takes place in their publication, con-
trasting unfavourably in that respect with the returns from
the Treasury. It seems that the chief augmentation of the
exports, as compared with the two previous years, took
place in the earlier months—the two months of No-
vember and December showing even a decline as compared
with 18611. In the first quarter the augmentation was
rather leas than :i9 per cent, in the second 19 per cent., in
the third about 8 per cent., and in the fourth below 11
per cent. These results bear out the well known fact,
that the effect of a crisis is felt as regards contraction of
trade, less at the immediate period of its oocurreoee than
some months afterwards. Our exports of cotton goods,
woollen manufacture., and iron in the last quarter expe-
rienced a considerable falling off. This, however, refers solely
to foreign commerce, and affords no index to the more im.

THE POLICE COURT&

BOW-STREET.

Four wretched-looking youths, from 18 to 20 years of
age, named Robert Parker, John William, Jolt* Jackson,
and haw Bentley, were charged with being in an archway
forming part of the premises of the South-Eastern Rail-
way, as was supposed " for an unlawful purpose."
Mr. Richardson, the station master at the Charing-cross
station, said that for some time past there had been com-
plaints from the inhabitants of Brewer's-lane of idlo per-
sons frequenting the arches abutting on this thoroughfare,
and forming a portion of the structure of the Charing-
cross terminus and railway. He went down to the place on
Friday evening and found the four prisoners in one of the
arches. They had made themselves very comfortable.
They had laid a quantity of timber down to form a flooring,
and had lihted a great fire in a sort of portable grate called
a " devil," used by the workmen when fires are required for
their work. They had collected a quantity of coals and coke.
The arch was one of those used fur storing timber, of which
there was about a hundred tons there. The prisoners had
made use of the timber to board the floor and close up
the entrance. They had evidently been established there
a considerabletinie, having even ornamentedthe walls with
Pictures. The inhabitants had been much alanued, fear-
ing that the timber would be set on fire, which would pro-
, bably lead to the burning of the opposite houses, as the
lane wasvery narrow at that part. In the month of De-
cember last, an adjoining office was broken into, and some
money stolen from a desk. The arches were enclosed by a
fence seven feet high, over which the thieves must have
climbed to get in. Parker said he paid Id. to a stout man,
with a billicock, for coke. It was the first night lie bad
been there. He had walked from the country that morn-
ing and was much fatigued. He could not get a lodging,
and was glad to get in anywhere out of the cold. VII.
Hants said he had only paid one halfpenny. Jackson also
said he had no money to pay for a lodging.
Mr. Flowers said it was quite clear that whoever took
money from these people to allow them to sleep in the arch
had no right to do so.
Mr. Richardson said somebody was making a harvest of
it. He wished he could catch that person and bring him
up instead of the bays. He understood that the fellow
had threatened the lives of the inhabitants if they inter-
fered.

Mr. Flowers would discharge the prisoners, but they
must not go there again. He was afraid, however, that
they had nowhere else to go.
Parker, who is a cripple, said he was a shoe-riveter and
belonged to Leicester.
Mr. Flowers offered him an order for the workhouse,
which ha declined, preferring to walk back to Leicester.
Mr. Flowers gave him 2s. lid. from the poor-box to help
him on the way.

THE EXTEXEION OF THE FACTORY ACTA.

The Tines heartily supports the measures introduced by
Mr. Walpole for extending to certain other trades
the provisions of the factory acts. Dangerous machinery
must be properly guarded, the use of the fan by the grind-
ers of Sheffield will be insisted on ; other dangers will
be reduced as much as possible, and the hours of work
for women and children will be restricted to IN. The
provisions of the measures will affect nearly a million and
a half of women and children, and will apply to every em-
ployment except that of agricultural Labourers, the la-
bourers in mines, and the vrorkpeople in ordinary shops.
The first of Mr. Walpole's two bills is a simple extension
of the Factory Acts, with necessary modifications in de-
tail, to manufactories in which more than 100 workmen
are employed. The second bill applies to smaller
eat►blishmenta, and will include even private houses.
Mr. Walpole offers ample time for considering these
measures, and he invites members to discuss the details
with their constituents, and before the second reading to
acquaint the house or the government with any sugges-
tions they may be able to make. If the details are satis-
factorily adjusted, the Tines does not see what difficulties
ma arise.

LAMBETH.

Mr. Harker, relieving officer of the parish of Lambeth.
attended before the sitting magiotrate, and made the fol-
lowing application. He stated that for some years past
there had been a very aged female in Lambeth workhouse
as a pauper inmate, and latterly, from her advanced age,
she bad become quite imbecile. Some relative—he
(Mr. Barker) believed a brother—had purchased an an-
nuity in the Norwich Union Life and Fire Assurance Office,
which would bring in • weekly allowance of a little over
sa. This annuity was vested in trust to • certain party
(whose name was not mentioned), and every quarter that
trustee went to the workhouse and obtained • certificate
that the woman was alive, and then proceeded to the in-
surance office, and upon that certificate drew the quar-
terly amount of the annuity. He, however, set the hoard
of guardians at defiance, and never contributed any por-
tion of the annuity towards the support of the woman.
The magistrate asked the object of the application.
Mr. Barker said he wished to know whether he could
proceed against the trustee under the Fraudulent Trustees
Act, or in any other manner.
The magistrate said the most simple manner in which
the parish could proceed would be by a bill in Chancery,
which was a very expensive procedure.
Mr. Barker had thought of that course of proceeding,
but considered he should like the magistrate's advice.
The magistrate said that the parish could proceed in the
county court against the trustee, but the question was
whether the party being an imbecile, the case would not
come under the Lunacy Act.
Mr. Barker thanked his worship, and said he should con-
sult the parish solicitor.

PIACOVERY OP COAL IN SHROPSHIRE. —An im-
portant discovery of coal has just been made near Madeley,
tillunpshire, in a district leased by the Madeley
Wood Company. A little more than three years ago a
pair of pits were sunk at Kemberton, at a point outside
the haute originally assigned to Coslbrookdale coal-field,
but where a more modern geological survey had ewer.
Lined that a strong probability of its extension existed.
The coal has been struck at a distance of 2.56 yards from
the surface, and the seam, known as " the top coal," is
One of the moot valuable found in the district, and is in-
variably followed in regular succession by the double coal,
yard coal, best coal, flint coal, rendle coal, and little flints.
It is a curious circumstance that just about this time last
year the first discovery of coal outside the old boundary
was made by the Lilloshall Company at Priorelee, and
that company, encouraged by their former success, are
now engaged in prosecuting a further search in the same
locality, and with every indiattion of similar results. The
present discovery bas been received with great satisfac-
tion in the neighbourhood, opening up as it does a pros-
pect of the establishment of an extensive industrial com-
munity on a spot which is at present not much more than
a rabbit warren.

THE LATE BF.I(:ATO°c SCANDAL.—Mr. Mordaunt
Barnard, of Preston-Begot rectory, Henley-in-Arden,
patron of St. Andrew's, Waterloo.street, Brighton, has
addressed a circular to the congregation of that church on
the subject of the matter lately brought before the public
in the case of " Beaumont v. Woodhead." He says that
after reading the correspondence in possession of both
parties, he and a committee of gentlemen whom be called
in to assist him, saw no ground to charge Dr. Beaumont
with more than the indiscretion, which he himself admits,
of allowing a young lady to consult him as • clergyman
without her father's knowledge. Dr. Beaumont at the
same time tendered the resignation of the incumbency on
the ground of his health. This, however, Dr. Beaumont
was advised to defer till after the appeal be is about to
make to a court of law had been decided. Mr. Barnard
says be pronounced no opinion on the case for the same
reason, but, be adds, " Captain Woodhead did not appre-
ciate my reserve, but offered me an insult, which, accord-
ing to his theory of retaliation, he must have supposed
likely to provoke from anyone but a clergyman the conduct
which he adopted towards Dr. Beaumont." It is authori-
tatively stated in Brighton that Dr. Beaumont will bring
an action for slander against Captain Woodhsad
