The recent Papal edict against brigandage has
begun to bear fruit. A letter of the Ist of May says :
" One brigand has cut off the head of another brigand,
►nd has taken it to the authorities and claimed the reward
of 2,300 fr. promised by government. It is the head of •
brigand of Sonnino."

Advicee from Brazil contain the announcement
that the question of slavery had lately occupied the serious
attention of the government, and that at the next meet-
ing of the chambers measures for its gradual extinction
will be introduced. Among the most important provi-
sions will be one declaring all future children of slaves to
be free, and subject only to • form of apprenticeship
until they reach twenty years of age.

QUESTION ARISING UNDER A DISPUTED ADJUDICATION.

An adjudication was nude against a non-trader on the
19th December last, and application was made in the usual
form to show cause against the adjudication. After re-
peated adjournments, the matter came on for hearing, but
a preliminary objection was taken by Mr. Lawrence that
the alleged bankrupt, being a non-trader, bad no right to
show cause against the adjudication.
His Honour said that in considering this objection it
would be necessary to examine the provisions of both &eta,
10-19 and 1861. It was evident that the legislature, in
extending the provisions of bankruptcy to non-traders.
meant to give them extra protection, notices being required
to be given which were not necessary in the case of traders,
and there being other differences in the form of procedure.
Bat in this case the debtor knew of the petition, and might
have appeared on it if he had chosen to do so ; and as he
bad not done so, he could not now be heard to dispute the
addication.
On the application of Mr. Linklater for the alleged
bankrupt, the Gra :, tte notice was ordered to be stayed fur
• few days.

IN RE MOB AND.LERIS LIAPMAN._

The bankruptswere described as general dealers, auc.
tioneers, and dealers in jewellery and fancy goods, late of
Lombard-street, since of St. Paul's Churchyard. Their
debts are 2,342/. • assets of small amount.

Mr. SolOmon, for the assignees, did not oppose.
Mr. Sydney, for a creditor, expressed dissatisfaction
with the accounts of the bankrupts. It appeared that
they had been in the habit of going round to Hailshani,
Lewes, and other places, and selling goods by auction ;
and it was contended that they had not rendered correct
accounts of those sales.

After hearing Mr. Reed for the bankrupts,
His Honour directed an adjournment.

(Before Mr. Under Sheriff Burchelf..)

LYE r. PANT.-OZPLOBABLE ACCIDENT FROM A BITE OF
A 000.

This wag an action in the Common Pleas, in which
judgment was allowed to go by default, to recover com.
remotion from a bite of a dog. The damages were laid at

Mr. Thomu (with whom was Mr. Bromley) appeared
for the plaintiff, a boy aged 12.
The defendant is the landlord of the Morpeth Cutle,
Hackney lyick.
. . . . .

In March the boy went into the public.house one
morning to look for his master, and was seized by a large
mastiff dog and bitten. He was carried by the potman to
a doctor's, and afterwards to the hospital. The wound
was cauterised, and be had suffered great pain and still
suffered, and could do no work.
DT. Bewley said he attended the child, and he was
not free from the effect of hydrophobia, and he might
suffer from the bite for years.
The potboy was called, and he said it was a stray dog.
Another witness wan called, and he said he had been at-
tacked by the dog, which was, he said, a big dog, and as
high as he was on his hind legs. He had seen the defen-
dant with the dog.
A witness proved that the house " the Morpeth Castle,"
was a valuable one.

The learned Under-Sheriff placed the case before the
jury sea deplorable one, and one in which the poor lad
was entitled to their consideration.
The jury awarded WO/. damages, the full amount claimed.

dealer, and general merchant, of Aldersgate-stroet, and
Mecklenburghaquare. His liabilities are 20,6211. ; assets
returned at upwards of 9,0001. At the last sitting an ad-
journment wa• ordered, there being a probability of the
bankrupt making a satisfactory offer to his creditors.
Mr. Burton, for the assignees, stated that no arrange-
ment had been come to, and he understood that the
bankrupt was not in attendance.
Mr. Sydney, on his behalf, produced a medical certifi-
cate, given at the Cape of Good Hope in February last.
Ultimately an adjournment till the 2nd of August was
ordered.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.-(THIS DAy.).

Comitwisc and by land carriage very little English
wheat wis received fresh up to.dsy, and the general
quality of the supply was somewhat Inferior. As regards
prices, the trade was firm, but the transactions, in both
red and white parcels, were on a limited Neale.
The market was fairly supplied with foreign wheat.
Fine qualities realised very full prices, but the demand
was by no means active. Inferior parcels were dull, but
without variation in prices.
Floating cargoes of wheat were firmly held, although
the inquiry for such was quiet.
Barley, maize, and other articles moved off slowly,
nevertheless prices were well supported.
Fair average supplies of barley were on sale. Fine malt-
ing parcels found buyers at full currencies. Grinding and
distilling sorts were difficult to salt
Malt was in fair supply, and sluggish request, on former
terms.

Very little busineas was passing in oats, and heated and
inferior samples were easier to purchase.
Beans were dull, and peas were but little sought after.
Flour was very firm, and the top price of town-m.4e
qualities was advanced to OUs. per' Mlle.
The seed market ruled quiet, at late rates. Cakes were
held at extreme currencies.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(SNOW OUS OWN COERNSPONDINT.)
PARIS, TUESDAY Levianwo.

The Galilean sentiments exchanged between the
Emperor and the Archbishop of Paris on New
Year's-day wore much remarked at the time. The
public was not aware that there was a special reason
for them. lam now informed that the Emperor
immediately after Christmas telegraphed to Count
de Sartiges to ask that the cardinal's hat vacant
by the death of Mgr. Gouaset, Archbishop of
Reims, should be conferred upon the Archbishop
of Paris. Count de Sartiges telegraphed back
that the Pope gave a flat refusal. France is
by custom entitled to have six cardinals
chosen from among her episcopacy ; and
the Emperor next suggested that Mgr. Landriot,
the newly-appointed archbishop of Reims, would
be a fitting person for the dignity. The Pope
again refused. He will not promote any of the
prelates chosen for their anti-nitramontaniam. The
conjecture is that the new French cardinal will be
Mgr. Lavigerie, just appointed to the new archie-
piscopal see of Algiers. He is not a favourite at
Rome, but the Pope would think his nomination
the least of any evil of which he has the choice.
M. Thiers is going to give a parliamentary dinner
this week ; and it is understood that the opposi-
tion deputies who in former sessions were wont to
meet at M. Marie's to discuss their plane of action,
will this year assemble at M. Thiers's house, in the
Place St. Georges. The change is important as
showing a coalition between the old Orleanists and
the Democrats.

It is facetiously said by the Liberti that the op-
position feels itself so strong this year, in conse-
quence of the failure of the Mexican expedition
and the " Prussification" of Germany, that it in-
tends to astonish the majority and the government
by its moderation.

LATEST PARTICULARS.

1:p to 8 o'clock eight bodice which had been recovered
from under the ioe were deposited in the dead house of
Marylebone workhouse, whilst there were 14 inmates of
the infirmary under the care of Drs. Randall and Fuller,
the surgeons of the institution. Amongst the visitors
about this period was Dr. Hardwicke, the deputy-coroner
for Central Middlesex, one of whose pupils, known to have
gone to the Park for the purpose of skating, was missing,
but he was not amongst those lying in the dead-house, but
was subsequently identified at St. Mary's Hospital, to
which it appears he had been conveyed. Mr. Inspector
Burrows (acting superintendent of the D division of
police), with Mr. Inspector Hines, attended to take de-
scriptions of the eight deceased persons who lay in the
deadhouse, but whilst in the performance of this labour
five out of the eight were identified. They were—
Thos. Harvey, jun., about 18, of 38, Springfield-place,
Leeds, but staying with friends at 56, Torrington-plume.
A young gentleman named Woodhouse, aged 17, of
Bedford-house, Tavistock-square.
Charles Jukes, aged 9 years, of 8, Dorset-buildings,
New-street-mews, Dorset-square.
Shortly after nine o'clock, when the doors of; the dead-
house were opened, the fourth body identified was that of
a gentleman named Macintyre, of 48, Ilighburperescent,
Islington. This gentleman, who is stated to be a mer-
chant in the City, had a considerable amount of property
on his person.
. .

The fifth body was identified as that of Mr. James
Crawley, of 28, Sherborne-street, Blandford•square.
The following are still lying at St. Marylebone work-
house, and had not been identified, with the description
forwarded by the police to Scotland•yard.
A lad, aged about 15, complexion fresh, hair dark
brown ; two mars on lips, se if from cold ; drees—short
black jacket and vest, brown mixed trousers, and Balmoral
boots, clumped.

THE HUNGARIAN DIET.

ADOPTION OF HERR DEAK'S ADDRESS.
PESTH, JAIL 15.

The draft of address proposed by Herr Dealt,
in reference to the Imperial patent, was almost
unanimously adopted by the Diet to-day.
The additional proposal of Herr Madera' that
the house should declare the imperial patent to be
null and void was rejected as inexpedient. Herr
Tissa expressed apprehension that the government
would not re-establish the constitution of 1848.

ITALIAN FINANCE.
FLORENCE, JAN. IS, EVILNING.

An appendix to the budget for 1867 was laid
before the Chamber of Deputies to-day, in which
the public revenue is stated at 865 millions lire,
and the expenditure at 1,024,000,000 lire, leaving
a deficit of 159 millions. By this statement a
reduction of about 27 millions upon the estimated
expenditure of the budget presented in December
last is effected.

The Chamber ban approved with some modifica-
tion the bill upon parliamentary disqualification,
by 147 against 79 votes.

sury Solicitor's othoe, prosecuted.
The warrant-officer, Wolff, stated that he apprehended
the pri.oner as ho was leaving the gaol on his discharge.
Mr. Poland said he should ask for three commitments
for obtaining money by false pretences :—First, from the
Lords of the Treasury ; godly, from the paymaster, and
;Irdly, from Megan. Grindley and Co., the agents ; also for
a commitment for forgery.
The prisoner, who offered no defence, was committed

VICTOR COUSIN..

H. Victor Cousin, says the Daily Noes, lung survived
the period of his active philosophic life, but he deserves to
be commemorated as a great teacher, who taught the
youth of France to take ennobling views of life,
whose lessons have formed high characters, and
who gave a powerful impulse and wholesome direc-
tion to the studies of more than one generation.
In an introduction to his political writings published in
1851, Cousin maintains that politics are a branch of morals,
and thus have a natural origin and foundation. Human
societies, made by men and for men, do not hold their
authority from any foreign and mysterious power, and the
sole foundation for a legitimate government is the interest
and consent of the people. From this truth results the
great doctrine of the aoverritiity of the nation,
proclaimed by the French Revolution, and answer-
ing to that of the sovereignty of reason in philo-
sophy. At bottom there are only two schools in
philosophy or in politics, one, which sets out from
authority alone, and with it, and by it, instructs and
shapes humanity; the other, which sets out from
humanity, and bases all human authority upon it. " The
future will see the triumph of the philosophy and the
political doctrines inaugurated by Descartes and the
French Revolution. Such is my faith, my hope, my con-
solation, the inviolable asylum of soy reason, my boast in
the midst of the troubles and agitation which consume our
life."

To the Post, M. Cousin, as a philosopher, seems to have
been everything by turns and nothing long ; it may be
also added, nothing deep. His writings, in a philosophieal
sense, are very superficial. He was essentially a meta-
physician, and be took his metaphysics from original ana
deeper thinkers ; but he succeeded admirably in making
their views known and intelligible among his countrymen,
so that his books occupy an important niche in a complete
French library. Considered as literary compositions, they
will ever hold • high rank for eloquence and lucidity
among the best productions in the French language.
The Teltpro 1 regards 11. Cousin's philosophy as • bril-
liant failure, though his gifts of eloquent and luminous
statement rendered him one of the ablest philosophical
teachers that ever lived. Comte, put into the language
of the fashionable Parisians by H. Taine and M. About, is
drawing France back to materi►limn ; but when the wave
of reaction shall come, ahe will again turn to Cousin, and
will gratefully remember how lofty were the doctrines
taught by the most brilliant of her philsophers.

HAMMERSMITH.

Mom Whetter, whore face bore marks of recent
injury, was placed in the clock on a twofold charge.
Sergeant Ryden, of the T division, informed the magis-
trate that on the ^Jith day of December last, acharge was
preferred against the prisoner for indecently assaulting •
girl while riding in a third class carriage on the Metro-
politan Railway. IThen nearing the Hammersmith
station, the prisoner jumped out of the train on to the
line, through which be received severe injuries to his face,
and he had been in the West London Hospital up to that
day. The girl now declined to appear against him, and
the only charge to be heard wu that of leaving the train
while in motion.

Mr. Ingham supposed that charge would not be pressed,
u be had been sufficiently punished by the injuries be had
received.

Inspector Daniels, on behalf of the railway company,
said the infliction of a nominal penalty would be sufficient,
as there was no desire to press the care sc. erely.
Mr. Ingham said, that as there was no lower to appre-
hend for such an offence, the inspector would have to pro-
ceed by summons.
Inspector Daniels said, in that case he would let the
charge drop.
Mr. Ingham then addressed the prisoner, and told him
that jumping out of a train in that way, when there was
almost a certainty of there being an accident, was very
abominable, for an action might have been brought

MISCIELLANZOL'S TOPICS.

The Tina gives from the German journals a narrative
of the negotiations between the Emperor Napoleon and
Count Bismarck at Nikolsburg previous to the Prussian
war, stating in detail the various demands made and re-
fused on either side, and deducing from the account the
fact that, without the moderation of the two great men
at the head of affairs, those negotiations might rather
have led to the prolongation and extension than to the
close of the German °outset ; for, bad either the Em.
peror Napoleon been really in earnest about territorial
indemnity, or had Count Bismarck shown himself in-
dexible about Saxony or North-Schlsewig—had not, in
short, France and Prussia been actually afraid of each
other, the collision between them was inevitable. Not a
little, in the opinion of oar contemporary, may also

PARIS; AND LONDON ODINIBICSES.—The Paris
Omnibus Company having found it necessary, in order to
increase their receipts per omnibus in proportion to their
increased expeuditure, recently determined on construct-
ing omnibuses to carry 2 poi,engers- , two more than
hitherto—but in affording the necessary accommodation
they found the weight of the omnibus co much increased
as to exceed the powers of the horses, and so create a
serious difference in the wear and tear of the stock. In
this difficulty they applied to the London General Omnibus
Company, whose omnibuses, constructed to carry 26 pas-
'eagers, besides the driver and conductor, weigh only xi
cwt. A visit has been paid to the works of the latter
company by one of the directors and the manager of the
coach factory of the Perim company, which has resulted in
the purchase and shipment to Paris of a London omnibus,
constructed, written, and complete in every particular for
the London streets, at the coach factory of the Loudon
Gener..l Omnibus Company, to serve as a model.
Nsw QUEINSLAND LAND REGULATIONS.—To
encourage the settlement of farm lands in the colony, an
act has been passed by the Queensland legislature enabling
persons to lease from 30 to 2,:i60 acres on the following
terms:—Any of the country lands which are fiequently
being put up to auction beyond the distance of two miles
from the boundary of any town or village, at an upset
price of 20s. an acre, if not sold at the auction or by selec-
tion within 30 days after being offered at auction, will be
leased t, first amrlicant at an annual rent of 2s. 1k!. an
acre, paid in cash or emigrant's land orders, the eighth
payment to secure the full purchase of the land; after
which a deed or grant in fee simple will be issued by the
government. This is specially intended, and will no
doubt have the effect of encouraging the settlement of
sheep farmers with limited means, as well as of agrionl-
turista, on the extensive and fertile Lands throughout the
colony. The extent of the new colony of Queensland is
nearly twelve times that of England and W.len

EARL RUSSELL AT THE LONDON MECHANICS

INSTITUTION.

The annual distribution of prizes and certificates
in connexion with the Birkbeck Literary sod Scientific
Institution (better known as the London Mechanics' Insti-
tution), took place last evening in the theatre of the in-
stitution. Earl RUSSELL presided. The Countess Rus-
sell distributed the awards to the female, and the noble
earl to the male oompetitors. Some of the prizes were
given by the Society of Arta, some by the Metropolitan
Association, some by the Wslworth Institution, and some
by the Educational Council. The ceremony of distribution
like the entrance of Lord and Lady Russell, was multi
applauded. The appearance upon the platform of the
young ladies who had gainedithe prizes was loudly cheered.
Miss Martha Smith took prises in about a dozen subject.,
and, of course, received "an ovation" whenever her
name was announced. The taker of the highest prize
(including the lady's scholarship) offeredto ladies was Miss
Styles, who also took other honours, and one young lady—
Mix. Hudson—took two prizes for excellence in book-
keeping.

ME SICKNESS ON BOARD THE ATRATO.

SOUTHAMPTON, Ocr. 29.
By the arrival of the steamship Atrato at the
Motherbank further intelligence has been received as to
the sickness reported on board that vessel, and which, it
appears, has been far more severe than the account from
Plymouth stated. From information now to hand it
appears that yellow fever broke oat on board the
Atrato whilst lying at St. Thomas, and that thirteen
of the crew were sent on shore to the hospital,
of which five died prior to the steamer sailing,
on the 13th iustant, and that during the passage eight
more deaths occurred, of which two were passengers. The
last death, that of Robert Styles, naval invalid, took place
last night 'at the Motherbank. It is also said that there
arc fourteen cases of yellow fever now on board, and that
three of them are likely to terminate fatally.
It would thus appear that yellow fever is
again making its appearance at St. Thomas,
about the same time as last year, when it proved so
fatal to the crews of the Royal Mail Company's steamers.
This being so, there is no doubt, in order to avoid so
virulent adiseaae, the laPlata, sailing on the 2nd proximo,
will reoeive orders not to touch at St. Thomas, but as was
the case last year, make Peter Island the station.
The names of those who died in the hospital at St.
Thomas are William Lictor, waiter ; Henry Arilown.F.M.;
Arthur Beavis, B.M. ; George WI/combo; and Sidney
Thomas, waiter.
Those remaining in the hospital when the Atrato left
were Charles Ernerey, servant; Eli Nighear, O.S. ; Charles
Barter, A. 8.; Samuel Wood, BAL.; George Ware, C.T.;
George Chandler, boy ; Alexander Heaton, boy; James
Carter, 0.8.
. . . .

The ntities of those who died during the passage are
Mr. Johnson, chief officer ; Henry Warner, A.ll. ; Fre-
derick Green, C.T. ; Frederick Todd., r.m. ; Joseph Har-
man, third cook ; and Robert Sty lea.
It is expected that the Atrato will undergo 14 days
quarantine from to-day.
About two-thirds of the specie was brought from the
Motherbank this evening.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(mow OUR owx cortarsrownerr.)
PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.
There is little news to-day beyond the official
reports in the Monitera of the Emperor of Austria's
speech and the Marquis de Moustier's circulrr,
What is far more important than the precise where-
abouts of the fleet which left Toulon for Civiia
Vecchia, and which, though due there on Sunday
evening, has contrived somehow or other not to
arrive, and than the conflicting rumours touching
Garibaldi's advance on Rome, is to know whether
the following paragraph in the Delots' Florence
correspondence is true :
There is much talk here about the part played by
Prussia in the existing oasis. Italy has asked nothia&
from Prussia—that is tile first point, and for this *veto'
th►t nobody in Italy ever seriously thought of mail:
war upon France. But Prussia took the initiative. Sil
has given the Italian government to understand that for
reasons easily understnod the desires not to interfere la
the affairs of Rome. but that if the present territory si
the kingdom of Italy should be invaded by France, Pi anis
would regard it as a eatus heti. This declaration was
made by M. d'Usedom to M. Rattarri in a diplomatic note
which was read to him. This is the truth on a most lit•
portant point.
Important indeed it is. The news of the Dibe,
if authentic, is the real key to the situation.

I hear from private sources that the Emperor is
fast composing his military household, that arms
ments are going on with more activity than ever,
and that next month the Emperor is expected to
take the command in person of an army destined
to commence a great European war. The com-
mand in person is what the enemies of the Napo-
leonic dynasty ought, above all things, to pray for.
Several arrests were made in front of the Hotel
de Ville, as the Emperor of Austria was leaving
after the banquet given him there, for crying
" Vivo Garibaldi !" The arrests were effected by
policemen not in uniform. Among the names of
the persona now in prison for this novel crime are
M. Ducasse, formerly editor of the Vat 'on :4,l;sse
M. Charles Louguet, formerly editor of the Rlre
Gauche, and MM. Humbert and Menard, law
students. The courts of law, which lately shrank

ITALY.
ROME, Ocr. 2d, Evvrixo.

The National Junta is very active, and an insur-
rectionary movement is apprehended. Orsini
bombs are frequently exploded in the streets.

FLORENCE. OCT. 29.

The moderate Italian press approve of tho con-
stitution of the new ministry, and declare it to be
entitled to the national support in tho present
crisis.

Popular dissatisfaction, however, exists at the
vagueness of the King's proclamation on the
Roman question, and the omission of all reference
to the French intervention.

The democratic press violently oppose the new
cabinet.

The first category of the clam of 1841 have been
called out.

Garibaldi was still at Monterondo yesterday,
organising his forces.
Letters from Rome of the evening of the 26th
inst., state that National Junta was very active,
and an insurrection was daily expected. There
had been frequent explosions of Orsini bombs.
According to the latest advice* received here
Garibaldi is organising his forces near Monte
Rotondo.

FLORENCE, Ocr. 29, Evmasa.

List night the French fleet was between Monte
Argentaro and Isola del Gaglio. No further news
of the fleet has been received on account of the
interruption of the communication between Nun-
, liatella and Civita Vecchia.

It is expected that the Italian troops will cross
tho frontier to-night.

Garibaldi is said to have crossed the Tiber and
to be now between Nero's Tomb and Monte Mario.

THE ROMAN QUESTION.

BRUSSELS, Oct. 29, EVINING.

The Echo du Parlemene publishes a despatch
from Paris, stating that the Pope has declared to
the French minister that should the Italian troops
enter Rome, he would inunediately leave.

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, Ocr. 29, Erszfurc.

In to-day's sitting of the Lower House of the
Reicharath, the Minister of Justice made a speech,
developing the leading features of tho new penal
course of procedure, the fundamental principles of
which, he said, are that all prosecutions should be
tried viva vote, in public, and by jury. The Schools
Bill was read a third time and passed, the Polish
members voting in its favour. The new penal
code was also adopted as amended by the Upper
House.

THE ZOLLVEREIN.
MUNICH, Ocr. 29, ArramooN.
The Chamber of Deputies is finally resolved to
abide by its veto on the Zollverein treaty.
Numerous deputations are arriving here with
petitions advocating the adoption of the treaty.
The final resolution to be taken on the subject in
the Upper House is still doubtful.

TO THE EDITOR 07 THE SZPIUSSSI.

Sir,—The 6701.oghlen on
the question of " Bank Holidays," and read for the
first time in the house on Thursday night, has taken our
body most agreeably by surprise, and we desire to express
to that gentleman our gratitude for so much consideration,
since, beyond the ten days or fortnight annually allowed
for our holiday, it is with the greatest difficulty we can
ever obtain a single day. We do not, however, grumble
at this, since we feel ourselves as much the servants of the
public, as of the bankers ; but if, in addition to this, the
merchants of the City of London would address the com-
mittee of bankers through Sir John Lubbock, that the
banks might open at ten instead of nine, the oommitlee
would no doubt grant this, since it is well known that the
majority of the bankers are favourable to this measure,
leaving the question of the attendance of their clerks to be
settled by themselves., and only wait the request of their
customers. This would, indeed, be a boon to the master
no less than to the servant of the mercantile as well as the
banking circle, since all now, of necessity, live out of
London ; and it is not possible to show how any disadvan-
tage could arise to the public. We offer you our thanks
for your ever ready pep in our favour, and remain, am.,

SEIZURE OF ARMS IN DUBLIN.

Another seizure of arms has been made in Dublin.
Between the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock on Saturday morning.
Inspector O'Connor, of the C Division of police, detective-
officers M'Ohee and Egginton, and Acting-sergeant Pready,
in consequence of private information, proceeded to the
public-house kept by Mr. Power, lienrpstreet where
they found a shop &Ralston!, named Thomas WlCenna,
a young man aged about twenty-three years. Mr.
O'Connor question M'Kenna, who stated that he had
a gun, for which he had a license. "Thetis all very well,"
replied Mr. O'Connor, " but have yon any revolvers r
Mr. M'Kenna at first hesitated, hut at length brought
the officers to his bedroom, where they discovered two six-
chambered self-acting revolvers, quite new and unloaded,
a leather revolver case, and formidable-looking bowie knife
in a leather sheath. bl`Kenna refused to give any explana-
tion of how he came by the weapons, end Mr. Power stated
in his presence that he had repeatedly warned him to have
nothing to do with Fenitunam. The officers took him into
custody, and conveyed him to Saekville-place police-sta-
tion, where they charged him with being found in the polo
session of arms without a license in a proclaimed district.
Subsequently the officers proceeded to No. I, Villa-bank,
Phibeborough, where the prisoner's family resided. His
father, who has been for some time an inmate of the Rich-
mond Lunatic Asylum, bad a license to have in the house
two single-barrelled guns, and liberty to carry one
of them in the county of Dublin. These guns were now
found, together with three powder-horns full of powder,
three shot pouches, a small box of percussi,on caps, and
box containing various kinds of shot, all of which were
taken possession of by the police, in the absence of a
responsible owner. At a later Lour the prisoner, Thomas
M'Kenna, was brought before Mr. O'Donel, at amid-street
polioe-office. Mr. O'Connor made a statement similar
to that given above. The prisoner offered no defence,
but stated to his mother, who was present, that no one
knew about his having arms but himself. Mr. O'Donel
sent the prisoner for trial to the next commission.

it is understood that owing to the unexpected
facility with which the more important business of
the session has been despatched, the Government
will propose that the House of Commons adjourn
on Friday next for the Christmas recess. As the
House of Commons has no important business im-
mediately before it, a prior adjournment from to-
morrow to Friday is not improNible.
