AISTLETB.

The " Grand Ilippodramatic Temple of the
World," as the lend modestly calla it, and which, greatly
to the amnia of the Logsdon public, is situated on the
Barmy side of Westminster Bridge, opened yesterday evening
for the winter season. During a short recess the whole
of the Interior had been renovated and decorated, and looked
exceedingly bright and cheerful in its new mountings. The
box fronts are now of a whits ground with delicate gold
mouldings, and have In the ;centre of each panel a sort of
auneo device, which has both a novel and pleasing effect.
Her Majesty, having become a frequent patron of the
theatre, la now provided with a handsome box,
lighter in decoration and more conveniently situated than
the former one, and there is • magnificent new
chandelier, which, when It can be moved a little more freely
up
end down, a:ll be • great comfort to the audience. Lea
evening it unfortunately remained inflexible at its lowest ele-
vation, end the consequence wee that the company in the
galleries could sot see half as much of the melodrama as
they wished. An apology, however, was made, and, it being
• reasonable one, received its usual sourptance from •London
audience. To ma►e all complete, Mr. Fenton has painted a
new and appropriate drop-sosse, and the whole of the in-
terior arrangements of the theatre have been considerably
altered and inapt...red. We mast not forget the im-
portant redaction in the prices of admission, w►ich, no doubt,
will have • salutary effect on the theatrical exchequer, as
hitherto the admission fee at Astley's has been rather out of
proportion with those at other pleas of eammemest.
The novelty of the evening was called TA. Ofetteamisti ; or,
Ms Batik of &awl! Brig, being an emmeelea end melo-
dramatic reading of Boott's well-known and heentlfal tale of
"Old Mortality."

that as the pollee 'Meld also costs ea board the vessel he
would have to be dressed as a sailor, and he had an old
pair of trowrore and a arty shirt given to him, which
wero. The steamer was taken into the Commer-
cial Doe, Rotherliithe, and he was bare taken ashore
by the prisoner to a public-house, and kept for
Moe time. The prosecutor and the prisoner subsequently
proteeded to London-bridge by a river steamer, when the
prisoner teek out_a porromonnak to pay their fares, and the
Cfor identified the porternonnaie as hie property and
it from the prisoner. This led to the manteau
being examined, when it wee found to contain nothing but
worthless and worn-out articles of clothing, and the pri-
soner was given into ouroody.
Captain Shall' and Ilaniel Mitchell, the chief all-
eer of the Cossack, both gave evidence that the prose-
cutor bad been brought from Bunks in the vessel without
their knowledge.
The prisoner denied the robbery. He admitted the pro-
%orator was brought to him at Oronstadt as a distressed
Pole, crying mid wishing to be conveyed to England Of
the Tgroubles paid by the prosecutor to the man who
brought him, he (prisoner) had received only 19 roubles.

saying that while on the voyage the prosecutor gave it
him, It then only containing a few oopecks, to purchase
some fish from those an board a fishing vessel, with wilMh

there was, strictly speaking no legal proof who was the
thief, there being Mims in the forecastle where the prose.

The prisoner had, however, been guilty of an offence in
bringing the ma to this country unknown to the captain,
and for this he would pay a fine of 40a., or be imprisoned
for one month, with hard labour.
The interpreter asked what the prosecutor was to do, as
he bed been robbed of everything he possessed, and had
no means of subsistence. _ _

SUICIDE OF COLONEL HOBBS.

A telegram from Southampton states that, on the
second day of the voyage in the Tyne steamer, from King-
ston to St. Thomas's. Colonel Hobbs, who was a passenger,
committed suicide by jumping overboard. Colonel Hobbs.
it will be remembered was one of the commanders engaged
in suppressing the outbreak of negroes in Jamaica.

The death is mentioned of Mr. Philip Stanhope
Worsley, known as the translator of the " Odyssey," and
as the author of many poems contributed to Blackwood's
Ma9azifse. Mr. Worsley was educated at the Cholmeley
School, Highgate, and at Corpus.

The deaths are announced at Avignano, near
fifiseerata, of the youngest sister of Pio Nono and of the
Countess Valentin Esterhasy, wife of the well-known Aus-
trian diplomatist and statesman, at Mersa in the Tyrol, at
• very advanced age.

Mr. Bernal Osborne states that before he was
put in nomination at Nottingham he made the following
stipulations, which were agreed to :—" That I should not
be asked to make a personal canvass ; that no publichouses
be opened for the purposes of an election committee ; no
paid canvassers or agents be appointed, and the expenses
strictly scrutinised, and confined to legitimate purposes.
Further, in the event of being rsturned to parliament,
that I should not be called upon to subscribe or contribute
to local charities or establishments."
London, England, 1866-05-14

ICROPWI COMPLICATIONS.

The Post says that the negotiations for the cession of
Venetia must be dismissed from the calculations of pos-
sible events. Austria will not surrender the province
except for the Danubian Principalities, and to this Turkey,
the Cxar, and the people of the Principalities themselves
would alike object. The Post also says that a comparison
of the line regiments of the Austrians and Italians has not
impressed an English officer who has recently returned
from Venetia with a favourable v iew of the chances of the
latter in a conflict between the two forces.

The Herald sees an increasing number of reasons for ex-
pecting the outbreak of war. Austria can hardly lose by
unsuccess more than she must do if she allows the Prussian
plan of reconstitution to be adopted, and she may hope for
allies in war against the parliament, who would give her
no aid if she merely fought to keep the Prussians out of
Holstein or to take matiafaction for their driving her out of
the Duchy.
The Telegraph thinks that if Engiand,Franee, and Ruuia
were at this moment to unite in deprecating the outbreak
of hostilities, it cannot be doubted that their protest would,
to say the least, cause the intending belligerents to weigh
the matter well before rejecting the counsels so tendered.
The subject-matters in dispute,both in Germany and Italy,
are of a character which might easily be settled by nego-
tiation.

The Star speculates on the probable character of a cam-
paign conducted by Garibaldi. In its opinion Garibaldi's
predilection for maritime over strictly military pursuits
renders it highly probable that his first independent effort
w:11 be directed either against the Austrian positions on
the Lago di Garda or towards the goal of Italian ambition
and the cynosure of all Italian eyes—the long widowed
Queen of the Adriatic.

THE BOMBARDMENT OP VALPAR 11g0.

The bombardment of Valparaiso, a purely commercial
city incapable of resistance, is characterised by the
Doily News as an atrocious measure. The Spanish admiral
seems to have adopted it because he was bound to do
something and could not get at the allied fleet.. The tone
in which he describes his position and duties leaves no
room to hope that the perpetrators of this barbarous act
will prove accessible to the influence of that public
opinion which they have defied and shocked. One
kind of intervention at any rate is left to ns.
It will be a disgrace to our capitalists if they lend money
to enable the Spanish government to indulge its insane
notions, by the destruction of great centres of trade and
commerce. Our merchants have a right to expect at least
this amount of consideration from their fellow-traders.
The Post remarks that the bombardment of unfortified
towns is now universally interdicted, and the fact that
Valparaiso was bombarded in conformity with instructions
given in cold blood at Madrid aggravates the enormity of the
offence. On the course pursued by the English admiral
the Past forbears for the present to comment. His conduct
must be estimated by the instructions with which he was
furnished by his government. The commander of the
American squadron was willing to interpose in order to
prevent the bombardment, but, not being able to secure
the co-operation of Admiral Denman, he declined acting
on his own responsibility. What may be the remote conse-
quences of this wanton act of cruelty it is impossible to
say, but it is to be noticed with regret that the indignation
excited in the breasts of the Chilians is not more against

those who have left their town in ruins, but also against
those who have quietly allowed so great a crime to be com-
mitted.

PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.

Assuming the general rumours to be well-founded, and
that the conservative party have resolved to offer deter-
mined opposition to the Reform Bill in committee,
the Daily News observes that the tory leaders
must be actuated by impatience for office
rather than by • prudent regard for their own
permanent influence in the country ; for Mr. Disraeli
cannot possibly be ignorant that the real choice
lies between this Reform Bill and a much larger
one at no very distant date. The motives adduced by the
conservative organs, namely, that on • miserable adding
up of the tory and liberal member. the tones would lose,
is singularly childish and very unworthy of them, Both

DERBY PROPHECIES.

" Argus," of the Post, declares without hesitation
for the unbeaten Lord Lyon, and " if be and Rustic are
split I fancy it will be by Lord Glasgow's Toxophilite colt."
For the Oaks he sees at present nothing to beat Repulse
and Tormentor. On Saturday morning Lord Lyon took a
rattling gallop with Elland and Split the Difference, and,
from what is known, " Argus " believes Lord Lyon can
give Elland 101 b and beat him over a mile and a half, and
even at 3st Split the Difference cannot be got before him.
" Asmodeus," in the Herald, also proncmnoes in favour of
Lord Lyon, and recommends as the best " place " invest-
ment the Toxophilite colt belonging to Lord Glasgow.
" Hotspur," in the columns of the Telegraph, expresses

THE CHOLERA IN LIVERPOOL.

The number of deaths from cholera at Liverpool
is increasing. Dr. ROO, of the Helvetia, has died. Three
more emigrants belonging to the Jesse Munn have died—
two on board the ship, and one at the Birkenhead depot.
The disease has appeared at the new depot at Bankhall,
and five patients have been removed to the workhouse.
On Saturday morning the whole of the healthy passen-
gers remaining on board the Helvetia, and those on board
the War Cloud were, under the directions of Dr. Trench,
brought ashore, and conducted to a large warehouse at
Bankhall, Victoria-road, belonging to Mr. Connoly, where
a large number of men were busily engaged in preparing
the place for their reception. The workhouse authorities
sent down bedding and cooking utensils, plates, knives
and forks, &c. The warehouse is quite new, with wooden
Boors, and, with what was done on Saturday, affords every
accommodation, and is undoubtedly far better, in a sani-
tary point of view, than shipboard. The total number of
emigrants landed was about 600, of whom 200 are Ger-
mans. These will occupy different rooms from the others.

TN BE BENJAMIN LAVEY.

This was another application for releue. TIN wag
had taken place under circumstances somewhat pseolia,
The debtor, a clothier, in Wellclose-square, had awned
a deed of arrangemse;t, had obtained a certificate ci tti
registration, and also the protection of the court. Net.
withstanding this, he had been arrested at the wait d a
non-assenting creditor, Mrs. Howell, of Skater-sheet,
widow.

Mr. R. Griffiths, in supporting the application he
release, urged that the court would, as a matter of can%
takertepsto enforceiteown order. The sheriff, on swing the
debtor's proteetion,had refused to arrest him, and had ally
consented to do so on being indemnified by the creditor.
Mr. Heed, for the detaining creditor, stated that tbs
action was one of trespass, for breaking and enterinf tbs
plaintiff's premises. Judgment had only been nod
15 days after the registration of the deed, widek
was therefore no
_protection against the judgment
debt. This view had already been taken by lde
Honour upon application being made for lases
to issue execution. His Honour held that underthecireaa•
stances no leave was necessary. After the wrest_
cation was made to Mr. Justice Shee ; but he held ths
debt was clearly not covered by the deed, and refusidte
interfere. The learned counsel also referred to the else ci
Kimberley, which came before the Lord Chancellor, with
similar result. In the case of ex parte Smith, it bad bee
laid down by the Lord Chancellor that this court oefht
not to entertain an application for release after apples
tion had been made to, and refused by, the court, eat if
which the process issued.
Mr. Griffiths, in reply, contended that the mere fact ci
the existence of the protection was sufficient ground foe
calling on the court to vindicate its own authority, asks.
something was shown to impeach the validity of the decd.
The detaining creditor was rightly inserted in the schedule
to the deed, for though judgment had not then been
signed, the verdict had been given. and the damages Vat
therefore liquidated and ascertained.
His Honour said the only point wall whether Mn.s Howell
was properly inserted in the deed. The debtor appeased
to have acted on the anticipation that she would become a
creditor, and had put her down as • creditor for 100/. Bat
in point of fact she was not then a creditor at all ; she het
brought an action for trespass ; the damages were entirety
dependent on the verdict which the jury might think B
to give, and the judgment was not obtained until 15 dap
after the deed was registered. It was therefore qnrle
clear that this was not • debt which was at all affected by
the deed, and that being so, the debtor did not get tht
benefit of protection as regarded that debt.
Application refused.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-ROUSE.

Richard Lore, alias Karl hopper, ww brought up before
Alderman Carter, on remand, for further examination, on
the charge of being in possesaion of plates on which were
engraved portions of a 500 thaler Prussian bank note.
Mr. Mullins attended to prosecute on behalf of the
Prussian government, and Mr. Wontner, sen., appeared
for the prisoner ; Mr. Pullaky was also present to act as
interpreter on behalf of the prosecution.
The whole of the facts have already appeared, and the
only evidence required to complete the case was the for-
mal proof that the engraving on the plates was intended to
resemble a genuine Prussian bank note.
The prisoner was committed.

HITCHING AND ANOTHER V. HAWKINS.

The plaintiffs in this case were merchants in business in
London and at Hull, and in the early part of last year the
defendant became indebted to them in the sam of 1971. 19s,
for which he gave them a bill. Subsequently he got into
difficulties sad entered into • deed of arrangement with
kis creditors, by which he agreed to pay them 10s. in the
pound. This deed was signed by the requisite number of
creditors, and all the requirements of the atatutewere com-
plied with, but it was now contended that the deed was '
void, because only those signing it were entitled to sue
upon the covenant to pay the composition. There had
been a decision to this effect, but this decision was sought
to be reviewed in the present case, and in addition it was
contended that the plaintiff must be bound by the deed,
because the composition money had been remitted to him
and he had kept it.
Mr. Serjeant Hayes, for the defendant, stated these cir-
cumstances, and after some discussion between him and
Mr. J. Browne, Q.C., for the plaintiffs, a verdiot was en-
tered for the defendant, subject to the opinion of the full
court upon the matters of law.

THE CHOLERA.

Oa the 10th of June last the„. Poonah arrived in
Southampton Water from Alexandria. A firemen had died
On board the previous day of malignant English cholera,
and after some considerstioa the ally reooived pratique. A
man who had nursed the fireman died within a week after
he had landed. His child died within a day after he had
laadod, and another child in a different pert of the town
and in no way connected with the former, died at the
same time. All three died of English cholera of a malig-
nant type. Seventeen dap after this chalets
again in the town, and a number have dit'erantl
neartr an equal number have recovered, but the victims
have all been of the lower class, and nearly all were intem-
perate, aged, or invalids, a clam of persons who every
summer succumb in numbers varying with the heat of the
weather and the price of provisions. • Sam short time
since a boy belonging to H.M.S. Begelman, lying in South-
ampton Water, having eaten a quantity of inferior fruit,
was taken ill and died from bowel complaint. A few days
afterwards diarrhoea broke out among the boys, and the
Admiralty7ordered the Boseawen to proceed further towards
the open sea. The Southampton authorities' would not
publish the number of death', in order. to prevent alarm,
as fright often assists disease. The existence of cholera in
Southampton having been notiodd, However, in the London
papers, some of the inhabitants heard of it apparently for
the first time, for they immediately left the town. One
individual, who left in perfect health, was stricken down
some tifte afterwards with cholera, and died in the place
whdre he sought safety. A hospital has been established
in Southampton for the treatment of poor cholera patients,
where they can get pare air and the beat medical advice.
Two more deaths occurred yesterday—one in the
Liverpool Workhouse, the other in the town. Three more
amnia?e been admitted to the workhouse since Tuesday.
Dr. Gee, the medical officer of the workhouse, has been
appointed to carry out the provisions of the Nuisance Re-
moval and Prevention Act.

In consequence of what transpired in connection
with theostbreak of cholera on board the ship Queen of the
Colonies, boned for Queensland, the authorities at Gravesend
have applied to the government to provide a proper resod
for the reoeption of the sick from the various ships, either
outward or homeward bound. It is proposed that the hos-
pital ship should be moored in the wider part of Gravesend-
reach. The Queen of the Colonies has since left for Ply-
mouth with an extra medical officer on board.

The cholera is declining at Marseilles. The
number of deaths there on Sunday was 37, of which 14
were from cholera.
