THE POLICE COURT&

GUILDHALL.

John Thonipeon, 18, who gave a false address, and
Marcia Rohl- 17, who refused to say where he lived, were
placed at the bar before Alderman Lusk, on remand,
charged with stealing a pocket-handkerchief from William
Pawson, 121 A division, Metropolitan Police. On the
previous examination it was shown that Obee, 899, saw
the two prisoners together in Gracechurch-street, and
Thompson was trying to pick Pawson's pocket of his
handkerchief. He failed in his attempt, and then Rook
tried. Obee followed them to Newgate-street, and there
Rook after several attempts succeeded in taking the
handkerchief, but was at once seized by Pawson. Thomp-
son then ran away, but Obee captured him on the oppo-
site aide of the road. They were remanded in order that
the prison authorities might see them.
George Agar, senior principal warder of the City Prison
at Holloway, now stated that he knew Martin Rook very
well. On the 3rd of December, 1863, he was sentenced
to six weeks' imprisonment as a rogue and vagabond, with
intent to steal. On the 14th Feb., 1864, he had 14 days
for the unlawful possession of two handkerchiefs. He
was also committed fur 21 days on the 24th of August,
1864 ; three calendar months on the 14th of November,
1864 • three calendar months on the 2.Nth of July, 1865;
and three calendar months on the 20th of November,
1865, all of which were for picking pockets. He had also
had six calendar months under the Criminal Justices Act,
at the Mansion-house, on the 20th of March, 1866, in the
name of John Harris. He was out of prison only eight
days when he returned to Holloway for two months on
the 28th of November, 1866, as a rogue and vagabond.
These commitments were all to Holloway, but he had
besides been three times to Coldbath-fields. Thompson
was not known anywhere.
The prisoners denied all knowledge of each other.
Alderman Lusk said it was quite clear the prisoners
thought that Pawson was a country farmer, but they had
made a dreadful mistake. _ _ _ _

Thompson mud be had done nothing wrong ; and Rook
mid he did pull the handkerchief out of the gentleman's
pocket, but be did not know be was. policeinun.
Alderman Lusk fully committed the prisoners for trial.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, JAN. 6.

The mail steamer from Holyhead did not arrive
to-day until put three o'clock, and without any pas-
sengers or mails, owing to the blocking up of the trains
from London near Bangor by snow.
On Friday last a person unknown took lodgings in a
house in West Essex-street. He left in his room a small
box, and as he did not return, the landlord's curiosity in-
duced him to open it early to-day. He had removed some
bottles, and was making a further examination, when a
great explosion took place. He was most seriously in-
jured, and lies in the hospital in a precarious oolulition.
The windows of the room and those of the adjoining house
were blown out ; the partition wall between the houses,
and the windows of the second house were also destroyed.

MADRID, JAN. 5.

Senor Rios Rams has been taken from Cartha-
gena to Cadiz, and it is believed that he u to be

The municipality of Madrid have sent a decla-
ration to the Queen announcing their concurrence
in the measures taken by the government to pre-
serve order in the country.

MIAS CARPENTIII, IN CALLATTIL.—The native
paper' take a keen interest in Mies Carpenter's visit to
Calcutta. She has visited most of the female schools in
the city and has shown especial interest, as was to be
expected, in the female and male branches of the Brehm°
Soniaj. The Indian Mirror, however, considers it " dis-
graceful" that so few natives have visited Miss Car-
penter, and hopes that educated liengalees will give her
a testimonial of their gratitude. Miss Carpenter has
adopted the suggestion of Miss Bigot, the head-mistress
of the Bethune school, for establishing female normal
schools. Mhe lately addressed a meeting of native gentle-
men on the subject in the Brahmo Swazi rooms, She
thought the female schools of Bengal infenor to those she
had seen in Bombay and Madras, but spoke highly of mis-
sionary schools. Her plan, as given in the Indian Daily
New", is that government should establish a boarding in-
stitution, with two distinct departments for Europeans and
natives, who should be allowed to adopt their peculiar
national or caste customs. An accomplished English lady
must superintend the general working of the institution,
The education and training should be conducted by a
trained female teacher, thoroughly conversant with all the
new educational methods of instructioe. No interference
must be allowed with the religious sentiments of either
teachers or scholars'; both must be protected, and the reli-
gious feelings of Europeans must be regarded as well as
those of the Hindooa. Both English and the vernacular
should be learnt by all the inmates of the institution, and
a portion of each day should be spent in the actual teach-
ing of children in some of the neighbouring schools. The
meeting approved of the plan, and appointed a committee
of five native gentlemen to carry it pct.—Homeward Mail,
Jan. 5.

DeATH OF A SCOTCH POET.—The death is an-
nounced of Alexander Smith, a poet of some note in Scot-
land, which occurred on Saturday morning at Wardle, near
Edinburgh. He was born on the 31st of December,lB3o, at
Kilmarnock, where his father was a drawer of patterns, a
lace designer, and the lad having shown some literary in-
clination, was destined for the ministry of the Presbyte-
rian established church. A serious illness and adverse
family circumstances interfered with the continuance of
his theological course, and he was apprenticed to the busi-
ness of lace-designing. He cultivated literature, however,
and from a work he composed, " The Life Drama," he for-
warded some extracts to the Rev. George Cilfillan, of
Dundee, who obtained a place for them in the Critic. He
subsequently published a volume entitled " City Poems,"
and other works, which obtained for him a wide celebrity.
In 1854 Mr. Smith was appointed secretary of the Univer-
sity of Edinburgh,

THE ABYSSINIAN CAPTIVES. —By the mail
steamer which arrived from Men on Sept. 24, we learn
that the position of affairs in Abyssinia as regards our
captive fellow countrymen, the rebels, and Theodorus re-
spectively, remains much the same as when we last re-
ferred to the subject. The King is still so for
beleaguered in his entrenched camp at Debra Tabor
that there has been no renewal of communica-
tion between him and the Magda& prisoner,,
though we gather from our various accounts that the
garrison at thst fortress remains faithful to the Negus.
The captives are known to have been all well nearly up
to the end of July. This is satisfactory so far; but we
are also assured that up to the second week of July the
saptives at the King's camp at Debra Tabor were in
good health and tolerably well treated. Theodorus cap.
peered to have forgotten them for the time, his atten-
lion doubtless being very closely engaged with his own
setae position. The people all round Debra Tabor
seem to be thoroughly inimical to him—so much so
that all communication between the camp and tho
coast is cut off, so far as Theodorus is concerned. We
may state that our information relative to Debra Tabor
and Gaffat has come round by Slagdala, indicating that
the insurrectionary chiefs keep a strict watch lest any
despatches should be sent from Theodorus to the coast ;
and no missive whatever, good or bad, has now been re-
ceived from him. That the captives are still well and
unharmed is cause for satisfaction, and those at tfagdala
may now be regarded as in little danger from Theodora' ;
but the more numerous group, with whom is Mr. Stern
(the only British subject, we believe), are all in the power
of the violent monarch.—Tisus of Indk, Sept. :93.
THE CEREMONIES OP LORD MAYOR'S DAY.
Strong pleas continue to be put forward for the abolition
of the ceremonies of Lord Mayor's day, and of course there
is much to be said for the views of those who, caring little
or nothing for the rights and privileges of the corporation,
object to be interfered with in ever so small a degree by
any sort of doings in connection with that body. It can
we altogether lose sight of the fact that an expense of
something like MO/. must be incurred if the state coach is
to be put in order for the coming 9th of November, and
this amount will be increased eightfold if the repair' are
to be complete and permanent. Still there is no need to
rush into the extreme of shabbiness and parsimony as
some would suggest, and if there is to be a ceremony at
all, by all means let it be arranged and carried out an a
way that shall be at least creditable to the first city of the
world —COoI Ppm,

T.ITTERSALL'S.-S•reaDAT.

On assembling at Albert-gate, the first question among
members was, '" How about Honesty :•" and this was
tolily and satisfactorily answered by the taking of all
the is to I that could be got, several hundreds going on
at this price ; indeed at one time these odds were asked
for in vain. Towards the finish, however, although the
hare stiil remained in good odour, 5 to 1 was to be lia.L
It was said that the reason of his receding so suddenly at
the dabs arose from the fact that some hone having met
with an accident while at exercise in the morning, the
"bores watchers" had mistaken the animal for Honesty,
and had " wired " the intelligence to London. The error
was, however, subsequently discovered and corrected,
bate the improved tone of the market at Tattersall's.

nued here, and " The Knight " was especially fancied for a

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(nom ova OWN oosanromerirr.)
PARIS, SUNDAY EVINING.
The Mon iteur is stql silent as to the steps taken
by the French government with regard to Italy.
The French democratic section of the press pro-
tens with increasing energy against the idea of a
new Roman expedition ; and certainly the liberal
journals, not only in Paris but in the departments,
of all shades of opinion, were never so unanimous
in denouncing a given political step. The per-
severing silence of the official organ gives rise to a
bitter tone of remonstrance, and sonic apprehension
that a final resolution has been irrevocably taken.
Or is it, as the journals say, that the govern
ment feels some qualms of conscience, some feeling
of regret and hesitation at the moment of com-
mitting itself to an irremediable blunder ? It is,
perhaps, not too late to hope that this last
hypothesis is the true one. There is probably yet
time to halt in a disastrous course into which the
perfidious councils of the clerical reaction have
urged the French government. Notwithstanding
the intelligence conveyed by the Haves agency,
that troops were on their way to Toulon to embark
for Rome, the hope seems still to be entertained
that resolutions which have been too lightly taken
will be modified before it is too late.

On Friday the Emperor left the Palace of St.
Cloud and paid a visit to the Universal Exhibition,
where he remained several hours.

The programme of the fetes to take place on the
occasion of the visit of the Emperor Francis Joseph
to Paris is not yet definitively fixed. It is thought
I that there will be a grand dinner and concert
given by the city of Paris at the Hotel de Vile,
brilliant receptions at the Palace of St.
Cloud, and hunting and shooting in the forest
lof Compiegne. The Emperor of Austria will oc-
cupy the Elysee ; and the court, it is understood,
I will remain at St. Cloud. Prince de la Moskowa
I has been designated by the Emperor Napoleon to
meet Francis Joseph at Meaux, at which station
, the Emperor will drop the incognito.
The Imperial Commission of the Universal Exhi-
tion publish a notification for the information of
all persons desirous of addressing them relative to
the purchase of materials in the Champ de Mars,
that the Exhibition will be irrevocably closed on the
Slat of this month, conformably with article 7 of
the general regulations ; and that offers must be
received before the expiration of that period, at
the office of the commissioners, No. 2, Avenue de
Labourdonnaye. The removal of goods will take
place on and after the Ist of November. The
purchasers of the materials of the palace and
the park will be informed by a subsequent notice
at what date those materials may be taken away.
The manager and editor of the Epoque, having
been cited before the Correctional Tribunal of Paris
on Friday, on a charge of publishing false intelli-
gence, have been each fined I,ooofr. and ordered to

HOME CIRCUIT.—Lewis, Dec. 12.
The oommission for a gaol delivery for the county of
Sussex was opened Lem yesterday by Mr. Justice Willem.
There are not many prisoners for trial, and the most
serious charge in the calendar is one of wounding with
intent to murder against a farmer pawned of some pro-
perty in this county, the act having been committed upon
the person of a legal practitioner who had taken
some proceedings to eject him from the land
that he occupied. Serjeant Ballantine Is specially
retained for the defence in this case. Among the
other cases is a charge against the son of a postmaster
in one of the country districts of having stolen post
letters containing money and valuables, which had come
into his possession for delivery. All the remaining charges
in the calendar appear to be of the ordinary character.
It appears that the only other county in this circuit for
which there will be a winter gaol delivery is Hertfordshire.

ITALY.

FLORENCE, Dac. 12.

In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies,
Signor Cambray Digny, Minister of Finance, pre-
sented two bills sanctioning the budget of 1868.
The budget shows an economy of 18 million lire
compared with the budget of 1867. There is the
sum of 184 millions in the Treasury to meet the
obligations of the State. As the committee on the
budget will not be able to examine it and make
their report before the 31st December, the mi-
nister also presents a bill for the provisional
exercise of the budget until the 31st January. He
will make his financial statement on the 15th of
January, but this delay, he said, need not prevent
the Chamber from considering the important finan-
cial bills already before it. The minister an-
nounced that the government accepted the bills
proposed by the committee for taxing flour, with
some alight modifications, in preference to the bill
of Signor Ferrara. Early in January he will pre-
sent a bill upon the system of State accounts. The
government hopes to introduce the budget for 1869
before next February.

After speeches from Signori Alfieri and Berti
(right), Signor Bertani strongly condemned the
policy of the government with regard to the inter-
vention of France. He had been assured that the
French soldiers had been guilty of cruelty to the
wounded Garibaldiane at Mentana. The blood
shed at Mentana had severed the tie between the
volunteers and the monarchy.
Signor Bertani concluded by proposing an order
of the day affirming Rome to be the capital of
Italy, and the existence of a Pontifical State to be
incompatible with that of an Italian kingdom, and
also declaring that the chamber did not consider
the present ministry capable of carrying out such a
programme._

General Menabrea energetically protested against
the expressions made use of by Signor Bertani
relative to the monarchy, and respecting alleged
cruelty on the part of the French soldiers.
Signor Bertani's order of the day has not yet
been put to the vote.
The debate will be resumed to-morrow.

SERIOUS CRAWS or RECKLESS DRIVING.

Jaws Ling, a carman, was placed at the bar before Mr.
Partridge, charged with being drunk, and furiously driving
a hone end cart in St. George's•roed, and causing serious
injury to Samuel Brown, a conductor of an Atlas omnibus,
belonging to the General Omnibus Company.
Mr. George Atkinson Johnson, a gentleman residinF in
the Dover-road, said that on Wednesday evening, ••httle
after 6 o'clock, he was in an Atlas omnibus, sitting near
the door, proceeding along the Westminster-bridge-read
towards the Elephant and Castle, and just as they
R got into the St. George's-aad, the omnibus
stopped to set a lady down. At that moment,
while the conductor was giving change, the prise=
came up against him with a horse and cart which
he was driving at a reckless pace, knocked the conductor
down, and the wheels passed over his chest. The prisoner,
instead of stopping to ascertain what mischief he had done
lashed his horse and drove away with the view of making
his escape. Witness, however, pursued him and gave him
into custody.
In answer to Mr. Partridge, the witness said that the
omnibus had pulled up on the near side of the road,
within two feet of the kerb, to set the lady down, and at
that time the prisoner's horse and cart were not within
sight. The prisoner was very tipsy and violent when
stopped.
John Smith, the driver of the omnibus, said that when
he pulled up to let the lady out he heard a horse and cart
coming along behind him at a furious rate, and before he
could turn round the prisoner had run up against the step
of the omnibus and knocked the conductor down. Witness
picked him up, and finding the wheel of the cart had
passed over his chest he put him into a cab and took him
to Westminster Hospital, where he now remains in
serious state.
Pi

AS L said he saw the prisoner driving is
a reckless manner, followed by the first witness and seven!
others, who called out, " Stop him, be has killed a man."
Witness stopped him and he was given into his custody.
He was much under the influence of liquor.
The prisoner, who denied being drunk or wilfully driving
splint the omnibus, was remanded fora week. Bail was
refused.

HYDE-PARK AND THE POSTPONED REVIEW.

The postponement of the review leads the Times
to urge that it be put off altogether. The portion of Hyde
Park available for troops is too restricted to allow of any
numeuvres, and a review without manouvres is one of the
moat monotonous of spectacles. Moreover even this tame
display can be witnessed only by a privileged few. The
public are practically excluded. Foreign potentates who
video tus can never be dazzled by such detachments
as we are able to array before them, and then Hyde-park
is now in the heart of London, and The greatest
incon-
venience would be occasioned in the neighbouring districts
and in all the adjoining streets by the concentration of
troops necessary for a review. Their mere passage through
the streets would cause a serious disturbance of the busi-
ness of London, but the crowds which follow in their wake
would occasion far more anxiety. The arguments against
political meetings in the parks apply also to reviews, or
to any ' lar spectacles, and it is in the interest of the
public that the rule should be enforced universally and
impartially. For all these reasons, the Tonne cannot but
hope that the intention of holding a review in Hyde-park
may be abandoned.
