THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-ROUSE.

Thnmas Denham, a wed-dressed, middle-aged man, sur-
rendered in discharge of his own recognisance, to answer
a charge (founded on his own confession) of having em-
bezzled, in February. 1664, a sum of 1,0001., received by
him as clerk to Mr. Ebenezer Hathaway, merchant of St.
John's. New Brunswick : and also with embezzling, in
June, I*A, the sum of '2OO/. received by him as clerk to
Mr. V❑lentine Graves, commission agent, also of St.
John's, New Brunswick.
It may be remembered that some time since the prisoner
gave himself ur on these self-accusations, and when
brought up at tms court the prisoner was allowed to go at
large on his own recognisances. to give time fur a commu-
nication to New Brunswick on the subject.
The officer informed the court that this had been done,
but no reply had been received, nor had any warrant
arrived for the prisoner's detention.
Mr. Alderman }lnnis said he could not detain the pri-
soner, and ordered him to be discharged.

CALAMITOUS FIRES AND LOSS OF THREE

LIVES.

During last night and this (Tuesday) morning a
seven fires occurred in different part of the metropolis fn.
which were attended with great loss of property, and un. gt.
fortunately one with the loss of three lives. One fire se
.
happened In the corner premises of Mr. Lazarus, a t•
clothier, earaying on business at No. 44, Hemp-
stead-road. The discovery was made by a gentle- St
man who, in passing the building, noticed smoke in it
dense bodies pouring out of the front shop. He at once 10
raised an alarm, and by some means a boy and an infant 11.:
were extricated from the back of the building. The by- j
'tandem were then informed that the proprietor and his 2
wife were out, and that three children were still in one of
the upper rooms. Conductors Hutchings, Rummens, and It
Arnold having arrived with all possible expedition, et
the two first-named entered the third Boor, in
but the smoke was so hot and dense that the
lamps of each became extinguished, and had it not been es
for the assistance rendered by one of the neighbours, St
Conductor Hutchings would doubtless have perished. In g
going up his escape he reeled to and fro, being nearly suf. 11
fixated, and he had to be led down his machine. Being t
assured that the three children were still in the building, tat
the conductor, with his comrade Rummens, again entered 11
at another window, but they found the same difficulty gi
in searching the room, as the smoke again put &
out their lamps, and they were at length obliged to give tq
up the attempt as hopeless. The fire could not be extin- s
guished until the front shop was burned out, the front t
room first floor severely damaged by fire, and the rest
of the house injured by heat and smoke. As soon
as the ruins were sufficiently cool to be entered,
Conductor Hutchings entered the place and found
Emanuel, Marian, and Sophia Lazarus, aged respectively
10, 9, and 8 years. They were at once taken to the hos-
pital, where it was found that on the road to it they had
all expired. The fire was caused by an escape of gas.
Mr. Lemma was insured in the Phenix and Royal Fire-
office.

An extraordinary explosion of fireworks took place last
night in Central-street, at the corner of Gee-street, St.
Luke's. It appears that a " Cheap Jack" was selling by
mock auction a cart load of fireworks. In order to give
due effect to his harangue, he fired a squib, and threw it
into the air, when the sparks fell upon his combus-
tibles, and the whole exploded, blowing out the sides of
the cart, and scorching " Cheap Jack." The horse was
got out of the shafts, but nearly everything else was
destroyed.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Nov. 6.

A royal decree has been published ordering the
Prussian forces in Saxony to be reduced to a peace
footing.
The decision of the ordinary tribunal of Berlin,
acquitting Herr von Tweaten of the charges brought
against him in consequence of his speech in the
Chamber of Deputies upon the administration of
justice, was confirmed yesterday by the superior
court. The public prosecutor had demanded that
Herr von Twesten should be sentenced to two
years' imprisonment.
London, England, 1866-11-06

BOW-STREET.

Jane Peel, a well-dressed young woman, was charged
with being drunk and creating a disturbance at the 'Dower-
street station of the Metropolitan Railway.
Police-constable Dickenson, 123 E, stated that shout
1 o'clock on Sunday morning he found the prisoner at the
door of the station, knocking, and making • great deal of
noise by shouting and screaming. She told him she had
been robbed of her watch and chain. He asked her by
whom, and she replied that she did not know. He advised
her to go away, but she refused, and made only the more
noise the more he remonstrated with her. Presently a
soldier came up, and she said he had taken her watch and
chain. Witness took the name and regimental number of
the soldier, who is quartered at the Wellington barracks.
The prisoner still refused to go away, and made so much
disturbance that be was obliged to take her into custody.
At the station-house she told the inspector that witness
bad taken her watch, chain, and brooch.
The prisoner said she was certainly • little the worse for
liquor, but that was not from having drunk much, it was
only because she was not accustomed to it. She had been
spending the evening with a friend, and was returning
home. She went to the station about 10 o'clock to take
the train, but was stopped at the door by the constable,
without any provocation, who seized her and began to pull
her about in the most shameful manner. Another police-
man came to his assistance, and they took her each by one
arm, and dragged her to the police-station. She never
,• accused the constable of robbing her. What she said was
I that while the two policemen held her some other man
took her watch and chain, and that they must know some-
thing about it.
Dickenson repeated that it occurred not at 10 o'clock,
but at 1 o'clock. after the station was closed.
The acting-inspector, Sergeant Ferguson, said the pri-
soner certainly did charge the constable with staling
the watch and chain. Inquiries, however, bad since been
made by another constable, who had found the watch.
Policeman Fisher, of the E division, said he was going
home on Sunday night, in plain clothes, when he called
at the Union public-house, in Great Portland-street. Be
mentioned to some person there that he had been making
bailiwicks about a watch and chain which a woman had

Bscreox D.—BIOLOGY.

This section assembled in the People's College, under
the presidency of Professor HIALIJIT. The learned pro-
fessor said it had not been his intention to make an
address, and chiefly because he could only repeat what he
said three or fouryears ago at the meeting of theassociation
at Cambridge, but having found that what fell from him
then had in a great measure been forgotten, and as there
was a great diversity of opinion among the committee aa
to the meaning of the term " bioloa," and its limits and
several divisions, it seemed well that the subject should
be revived. He, therefore, proposed to deliver an address
to-morrow, in which he would deal with the subject from
his own point of view, and which would probably give
rise to an important discussion.
Among the visitors to this section was the young
Marquis of Lorne, the son of the Duke of Argyll.
The first paper read was one by Professor Etymon,
being the " Report on the Extinct Birds of the Maseareen
Islands," and the committee appointed by the association
at Birmingham to assist the professor in his researches.
A portion of the bones discovered by Mr. George Clark
of Malieburg, in Mauritius, were exhibited. It at/peered
that this gentleman bad found a large deposit of e true
Dodo, and the committee dwelt upon the importance of
hie discovery, especially as previously the only remains of
the Dodo known to naturalists were the head and foot at
Oxford, the skull at Copenhagen, the portion of an upper
mandible at Prague, and the foot in the British Museum.
It was now believed that almost every bone of the bird's
skeleton had been discovered, with the exception—though
that was an insignificant exception—of the extremity of
the wing. The report wound up with some suggestions for
further explorations of these islands.
The PHNHIDiNT remarked that now they possessed as
much knowledge about this bird as they could do of any
species which was extinct.
The next paper was one by Mr. JOHN SHAW, "on the
Distribution of Mosses in Great Britain and Ireland, as
affecting the geography and geological history of the pre-
sent flora."
There was also a report by Mr. J. GWYN, "On dredging
among the Hebrides," which gave an interesting account
of animal life at the bottom of the sea at various depths,
and of some new species which had been found.
Mr. P. L. SCLATZR read a paper "On the systematic
position of the American Prong-horn (Antilocrapa Ame-
ricana)." The object of the paper was to bring into notice
a discovery made last year by Mr. Bartlett, thesuperin-
tendent of the Zoological Gardens, with regard to this
animal, viz., that the horns of the " Prong-born" are na-
turally shed every year, • phenomenon hitherto quite un-
known among the ruminants with which this animal has
been associated.
London, England, 1866-08-24

SCIENCE.

In this section Prefoosor Wilmtvittowl presided, and a
paper was read by Mr. GLAISHIR " On the luminous
meteors observed by him during November lost." Mr.
Birt brought up a report of the lunar committee
for mappping the moon. In the course of the
day Mr. Clabber made some observations on the
blue mist, supposed to be connected with cholera,
and stated that he thought it a physical phenomenon,
although he did not desire it to be taken that it was ace-
Intely connected with cholera ; in fact, the places where
this mist appeared were rather healthy than otherwise.
The blue mist had been observed near Nottingham that
morning.

Stenos C.—GEOLOGY.
In this apartment the president is Professor RAMAT.
Papers were reed by Dr. LEITH ADAMS "On the Maltese
Caves;" by Professor lirroecocK, "On the Geological
Distribution of Petroleum in North America," showing
bassi* inthe supply in ten years from 24,000,000 gallons
to 91,000,000, the value being 4,000.0001.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.-(THIS DAY.

Messrs. Pattenden and Smith report an improved de-
mand for all descriptions of hops, at late pnces. The
plantation accounts during the last few days have been
more favourable owing to the change of weather.

It the sale of the valuable library of the late
Mr. William Debonaire Haggard concluded yesterday at
the rooms of Messrs. Sotheby, Wilkinson, and Hodge, was
the Wedgwood Caere...pondenee, consisting of upwards of
1,500 letters addrered to the firm of Wedgwood between
the years 1765 and 1826, from members of the royal family,
the principal nobility, &c. It includes the autographs of
many eminent and literary personages.
CLERKRKWRLL WORKROUSL —Dr. Markham and
Mr. Corbel, the newly appointed poor law inspectors for
*6 metropolitan district, inspected the Clerkenwell work-
house, and made the following report in the visitor, book :
—" The building is very old, sad unfitted for the purposes
of the sick and bedridden. It is in very clean and
excellent order. The cramped space is made the most of.
The paupers seem well, liberally, and kindly treated, and
as oomfortable se may be under the circumstances."
LAVENDER Warms..—The lavender crop of this
season is unusually fine. At Hitehin, in Hertfordshire, on
the well-known lavender farm of Mr. Perks, the plants
are of unusual size and fragrance. Such fine heads have
not been seen in England for many years, and the weather
has permitted the flowers to be collected fresh and with
their bloom upon them, the conditions on which the good-
ness of the lavender water of any season depends.
Tun CROPS IN TORKSHIRR.—The weather, which
has gradually improved for some days past, continues more
settled, and there is an al:parent prospect of • more genial
harvest time than could be anticipated • week ego. The
crops are rapidly ripening, and throughout the district
cutting has commenced. In • few instanoss there are crops
of grass still uncut, and in many eases the late crops were
gathered in • very damaged oondition.—Lads Ifercory.

lISCELLA!IIOUS St'BJECTI.

In the opinion of the Times Prussia has caused no ma- I I
terial loss to Austria. She has simply exclueed her from '
Germany. Ousted from Germany and Italy, Austria will
find herself in a position analogous to that of Turkey. As
in Turkey the Turkish, so in Austria the German element
is still the most powerful, and by strengthening that ele-
ment, the Times thinks, the•itel principle of the monarchy
would be strengthened, whereas the establishment of a
dualism between the German and the Magyar would lead
to anarchy and dissolution. Increase, invasion, and
colonisation have been the destiny of the Teuton
from time immemorial, and the Times sees uo reason why
Austria should not still cultivate the German alliance by
giving an outlet for the expansiveness of the German
people down the stream of the Danube.
In another article the Times continues to complain of
the want of proper organisation in the military depart-
ments, and should wish to see less of the vast sums
annually contributed spent on establishments, officers, and
experiments, and more on men, the real essence and
strength of an army.

THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION.'

(rum ova armour. cosawroximarr.)

NOTTINGHAM, Tatrutv,a,

The opening meeting last night was very SUOMI,-
fuL The theatre, which, internally, is a beautiful
and most convenient building, was crowded more
than half-an-hour before the commencement of tho
proceedings, and presented a very brilliant appear-
ance. The excitable and intelligent populace of the
town evinced their interest in the meeting by as-
sembling in an immense crowd on the wide open
space before the theatre, and it was with some diffi-
culty that the police made and kept a clear way for
the approach and the departure of the assembly.
The President's address was an eloquent and
sustained argument for the great principle of con-
tinuity, and the general impression left upon the
minds of those who heard it I find from many tes-
timonies to-day to have been that in the new
theory of continuity, which the world will " after
many days " follow the philosophers in adopting,
there is a beauty, an impressiveness, and a rever-
ence which the old theory of convulsions, and cata-
clyanis, and creative interferences with the order
established by God, does not possess. Certainly
none who listened to the President last night could
possibly feel that the theory he was so ably stating
and defending was at all open to the old charges
against it, but that it vastly heightened rather than
diminished their wonder and reverence for
creative wisdom and power. Lord Belper
and the mayor of Nottingham followed
in very appropriate speeches, but only a
part of the audience could hear them ; and the
business concluded by an announcement by the
President that up to that evening 1,957 tickets had
been issued, and more than 2,0001. received for the
purposes of the association.

(FROM OUR OWN REPORTYR. )

The regular business of the association com-
menced this morning, all the sections meeting in
force.

SECTION D.-DEPARTMENT OF PHYSIOLOGY.

This department was presided over by Preform
HCMFRT, 1.R.5., who delivered a long opening address,
bearing chiefly on the operations of natural law.
The only paper of popular interest read was one by Dr.
Cobbold, on the peculiar parasites infesting the muscles
of oxen, which had first attracted attention during the
epizootic of rinderpest among cattle. These parasites, he
stated, consisted of an external egg-shaped envelope sepa-
rated by divisions into several compartments, which were
filled with cells. The nature of these cells, he remarked,
was such as to render it quite probable that their origin
was vraetable, although the bulk of evidence in the matter
pointed to their animal origin. Dr. Cobbold stated that
these bodies were in no way characteristic of rinderpest,
being found in the finest beef. His observations, moreover,
established the fact of their being altogether harmless.
Ssertorr D.—DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY.
Iu this department Mr. ALFRED R. WALLACE, the pre-
sident, delivered a brief address. He explained that
anthropology was a science which contemplated man
under all his varied aspects—as an animal, and
as a moral and intellectual being—in his relations to the
lower organisms, to his fellow-men, and to the universe.
Anthropology sought to collect and systemise the facts
and the laws which had been brought to light by all
those branches of study which, directly or indirectly,
had man for their object, but which had been pursued
separately. They could, therefore, not afford to neglect
any facts relating to man, however trivial, nomeanieg, or
distasteful some of them might appear. Custom, supersti-
tion, or belief of savage or civilised life, might guide us
towards an explanation of their origin in the common
tendencies of the human mind. Each peculiarity of form.
colour, or constitution might give us the clue to the
affinities of an obscure race. The anthropologist must
ever bear in mind that the object of his study being man,
nothing pertaining to the characteristics of man could be
unworthy of his attention.
Mr. C. Carmen BLAKI read a long paper " On a sap-
jaw from the Belgian Bone Cave." Mr.
Blakeposedhuman wassent by the Anthropological Society of
London to make an examination of this cave, which
is in Namur, on the banks of the us., In
conjunction with M. Dupont, who had been commissioned
by the Belgian government to conduct more extensive in-
quiries on the same spot. This jaw, which is without
chin, and bears a remarkable resemblance to the ape spe-
die, was exhibited in the room and excited a pod
deal of interest. It was found at 3i metres from
the surface, along with a human ulna and a reindeer
bone, which had apparently been bored by some sharp in-
strument. The paper led to some discussion, in the course
of which the president expressed an opinion that the
jawwaa of great antiquity, and said it had many pecu-
liarities which approximated to some of the ape species.

A beautifully-execnted half-block model of the
ironclad frigate Belleeephon, the work of Mr. J. Liag,•mo-
deller at tins dockyard, has been forwarded to the Admi-
ralty, to be exhibited at the approaching French Exhi-
bition. The models of several of the ironclads sad other
ships are also ordered to be prepared at Chatham.
The Wellesley, 72, Captain W. H. Stewart, C. 8., flag- '
ship at this port, was this morning towed up the harbour
from alongside the Gloucester, 50, receiving ship, by a
couple of government steamers, and placed at her former
moorings, nearly opposite the Anchor-wharf.
An order received at the dockyard directs every effort to
be made in hastening forward the completion of the

NORWICH, WED:MIDAT EVINING.
This has been a day long to be remembered in
the annals of old Norwich. The weather was very gloomy
and dispiriting yesterday, and great fears were entertained
for the success of the pageant which bad been organised in
honour of the visit of their Royal Highnesses the Prince

REMARKS.

The winds this morning are chiefly south-westerly, moderate
to strong on our western roasts, and light on our other coasts.
Barometers have faUen from three to four-tenths of au inch in
the north, and from one to two-tenths of an inch in the south of
the British isles. Temperature has risen from five to ten degrees.
A large amount of raiu has fallen in the north of Scotland.

" The Rabbis of Europe," says the Gazette de
France, " are to assemble in a great oouncil in Paris next
year, in order that the great Eanadrin may take place
in conjunction with the Universal Exhibition. The
Central Jewish Committee of Paris has taken the initia-
tive of the meeting, which will be especially called on
to decide the following questions :—The abolition of the
prohibition of certain articles of food ; the suppres-
sion of the polygamy which exists among the Jews in
Algeria ; and the recognition of female children as
equally qualified to inherit in that country with males. The
French government is said to be very anxious for the real-
isation of the reforms relating to the African colony. as
there are in Algeria 40,000 Jewish families, composed of
industrious people, who are not subject to the general laws
of the Civil Code."

"It appears certain," says the Nord, " that a
sensible improvement has taken place in the condition of
the Empress Charlotte. The august patient makes toler-
ably long promenades in the park of Miramar, in company
with Doctor Ilek, and she now takes her meals regularly.
She is also said to have expressed a wish to return to
Mexico."

A Madrid letter in the Gironde of Bordeaux says:
" A note has been sent to the heads of reading-rooms and
cafes here at which French journals are taken, requiring
them to at once remove such publications if they contain
any objectionable articles. Thus the proprietor of a
cafe may place on his table the Sleek, the Opinion
Nationale, or the Gironde ; but if the authorities find in
any of them a hostile allusion to the catholic religion, the
clergy, the Queen's ministers, or the royal family, the
unhappy proprietor, now become responsible editor, will
be brought before a military court. Beaumarchais did not
venture so far as this in his satire on freedom of the press

RUN OYER AND KILLED BY AN OMNIBUS.

Last evening, Mr. Wm. Payne, the City coroner,
held an inquiry at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, respecting
the death of Thomas Warton, aged 9 years,
The deceased was the son of a printer, living at No. 38,
Leonard-street, Finsbury, and on Wednesday morning he
was swinging ou the top of the " tail board' pin "of a
van that was being driven at a rapid rate through Fins-
bury-square. He suddenly let go his hold, and fell in
front of the bursts of a Chelsea omnibus.
William Packer, a coach-builder, said that be wax riding
on the front part of the omnibus at the time, and he called
out to the driver, J. liraythwaite, and the horses were
at once pulled up, but they "skidded" their feet along the
ground, and pushed the deceased before them. One of
the horses raised his foot and kicked the deceased on the
head, who instantly stretched out his body and extended
his arm. The horse then walked upon him, and the
omnibus wheel passed over his body. The boy was then
picked up and taken to the hospital.
Mr. T. Cunningham, house surgeon, said that the
deceased expired on Saturday last from the effects of a
fracture of the spine.
The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death," and
they added that there was no blame attached to the
omnibus driver.

ME. BRIGHT'S SPEECH A 7 DUBLIN.

Recognising the wide difference between the
almost speculative character of Mr. Bright's grievances in
England and the actual evils which he finds deeply rooted
in Ireland, the Terser declines, nevertheless, in finding •
cause for the wrong, to dismiss the idea of some radical
defect in the Irish character quite so easily as Mr. Bright
All races do not possess the same virtues, and no disrespect
is shown towards Irish character in maintaining that its
genius is not political. It would be foolish to shut our
eyes to the difficulties, partly, indeed, resulting from sell
and climate, but partly also from the national tempera-
ment, which the most enlightened government might
have failed to overcome. Refraining at present
from discussing tither the justice or the policy of
the measures which he advisee with regard to the
church and the land, the Tema will suggest only •
few practical difficulties. As to the church, would Mr.
Bright abolish all endowment in money as well as land ?
To whom should the land, or the tithe rent-charge, or
the consols revert ! What is to be done with the property
or the money! What constitutes an " absentee," and be-
yond what amount is the possession of Irish land to be for-
bidden to English landowners What is to be done with
the purchase-money Then under what regulation is the
land of the " absentees" to be divided, sold, held, and oc-
cupied For example, may an Englishman purchase a
lot, lay it down in grass, build a house upon it, and come
and go as be does in this country May the purchaser of
a lot sell it again, and may the land sold under this mea-
sure be capable of accumulation. like ther land ? May •
man buy all the property of an absentee, turn out all
human beings upon it, and substitute deer ? It a man
elects to reside in Ireland, what quantity of English or
Scotch land may he possess l'ntil something like an
answer can be given the Times must doubt whether Mr-
Bright has advanced his reputntOn by his first essay in
constructive statesmanship.
The different temperaments of the two nations usually
preventing the orators of one from being perfectly con-
genial to an audience of the other, it would be interesting,
the Deify News says, to ascertain what was the real lens

SPAIN.

The Currier a f Buyamo• contains the following :
Marshal Narvaez has adopted a series of measures which,
according to information we have received, may be regarded
as the prelude of a omp (I'..t.st which has been silently
prepared by the set who surround the Queen.
The Areair NaGual, which publishes a report
to the same effect, says :
It is customary in Madrid to receive the Queen with
applause when she makes her appearance in her box at the
theatre, whilst the orchestra playa the royal march. When
a few evenings ago this air was being played, the audience
manifested their disapproval, and in the end began to hiss,
upon which the Queen rose and quitted the theatre.

income in the year of 3,248,2131. 2s. Bd. But
560,0001. goes towards the expenses of fortifi-
cation; which reduces the excess of income

chequer on the 31st of December last amounted to
4,736,4561. 6s. Id., and at the Bank of Ireland to
