BETTING IN WNDON.-SATCRDLT.

The muster of members to-day was se.anty, and the
betting that took place was of a meagre character For the
Leamington Stakes Beaming wan the only one backed,
5 to 1 being accepted pretty freely about her, but she was
not entrusted with much, sod, in fact, there were very
few to lay. For the Great Yorkshire Handicap Laneret
and Seville were each supported for a little at 100 to 7, and
nothing else was mentioned. Hermit continued to im-
prove his position for the St. Leger, 35 to 40 being the
highest offer against him, while 6 to 4 would have been
gladly taken. Achievement was laid against at 7 to 4
and there appeared to be a disposition to operate still
further. The remaining transactions render comment
unnecessary beyond the following quotations:

"Tae Finar."—Partridge shooting, which was
" due" yesterday, and will be in full force to day, pro-
mises to be at least of an average quality. In Surrey the
birds are numerous and strong on the wing. In Sussex,
Hants, and Berke, the manors and farms are abundantly
stocked ; the coveys vary from fourteen to eighteen in
number ; and in Kent partridges are numerous and in very
forward condition. In Essex there is a good prospect of
sport; birds are plentiful, ■nd there are more than an
average number of red legs or French partridges ; but as the
latter hare such propensities for running, and will not lie
to the doge, few sportsmen try to bag them. In Herta and
Bucks birds are said to be of fair average, but in most
counties much corn will be outstanding next week, and
will harbour partridges. In some isolated instances
mutual arrangements are made to defer partridgeshonting
for a fortnight. Hares are very plentiful, and rabbits
swarm the warrens and coverts. There is a good stock of
pheasants in most counties. _ _

Mr. lieanland, a master baker, of Newport, has
been committed for trial on a charge of perjury. The
offence arose out of a squabble with another tradesman.

that a slight shock of earthquake was felt at Lochbroom

(THIS DAY.)

BOW-STREET.
BTRALING GLARES ?RUM A PUBLIC-HOUSIL
. . . _

An elderly man, named Charts; Perkins, was c barged
with stealing two glass tumblers from the Crown and
Cushion publie-house, Russell-street, Covent-garden.
Hr. Hunt, the landlord, said, that on Friday the
prisoner mane into the bar and ordered a glass of
rum. Witness served him, and he then asked
for the morning paper. For more than an hoar
he pretended to read the paper ' • though witness fre-
quently detected him peeping over the edge of the sheet
to watch his movements. In the course of the day two
glasses were missed, and witness's suspicions fell on the
•prisoner. On Saturday he came again. Witness, though
e had some suspicion, was not quite certain that the
prisoner had stolen the glasses, and therefore did
not charge him. The prisoner remained for some
hours over a pint of beer, and the newspaper.
Witness, having occasion to go upstairs, left his son
to attend to the bar, with strict injuctions not to lose
sight of the prisoner. When he came down the prisoner
was going away, and a young woman who had come in
=man errand said she had seen him put two of the
in his pockets. Witness at once saw that two
glasses had disappeared from the table. He followed the
prisoner out, stopped him, and found the two glasses, one
in his coat pocket and the other in his trousers pocket.
They were of a peculiar pattern, and the only two of the
sort he had.

The pnaoner was remanded.

BRUTALLY ABEAULTING AN OFFICER-KICKING 1118 TEETH

OCT.

John Lawless and John Burke, powerful-looking
labourers, were charged with violently assaulting pubes
constable John Langford,36 D, and Mary Lawless, mother
of the first prisoner, was charged with attempt at rescue.
The first prisoner was so violent that he had to be
brought to the court handcuffed.
Tomkins, 221 D, said—About midday yesterday his
attention was called to the male prisoners, who were in
Nightingale•street. There was an Mimeo's crowd
there. The constable Langford was there in a
fainting state and bleeding from wounds in his
face. He spoke to the prisoner Lattices, who said
he would go with him but he woul,l make the
(Langford) drink his heart's blood. Witness took him,
and on the road to the station.honse the female tried to
pull him away. He took her as well. Another coestable
took Burke. _ . . . .

Mansfield asked if the injured constable was
present
said he could not attend ; be woe too bed. He
has got his teeth kicked out and his eye badly cut.
Mr. Mansfield fined the female prisoner 5e., and re-
manded the men till to-morrow (Tuesday) week.

UETTINC LN LONDUN.—TILVI:sDAY.

There was another large attendance at the clubs to-day,
but although speculation took a wide range, the invest-
ments were not very heavy. Actxs remained first
favourite at 9to 1, which was taken to small amounts,
but if a point more could have been laid she would no
doubt have met with substantial support. Honesty went
up and down as usual, 15 to 1 being at one time laid and
uttered, but towards the finish be came back tol2 to 1, and
was backed pretty freely at that price, WOO to 120 being
at the same time accepted with a start. The other horses
in the front rank maintained much the same position us
yesterday, with the exception of Wroughton being in de-
cidedly better odour. The day's proceedings were not
marked by any particular feature, save that Tormentor
was backed to some extent at 50 to 1 and 40 to 1. but the
last-mentioned odds were still obtainable at the close.
Another incident was a determined demonstration against
Archimedes, one speculator laying 1000 to 9 seven times,
while shortly afterwards 1000 to 5 was offered. The fol-
lowing were the quotations at the close :

EXTENSIVE FRAL DS ON CITY MERCHANTS.

At the Mansion-house yesterday, in the cane of
Julius Hugo Levenstein, merchant, residing at 2, South-
gate-road, Balaton, charged before the Lord Mayor with
conspiring with Hermann Mecklenburg and others, not in
custody, and obtaining, by means of false pretences, be-
tween 25th June and 20th September, • quantity of
damask and linen, value about :46r., the property of
Messrs. Crawford and Lindsay linen manufacturers, 26,
Milk-street, Cheapside,
The Lord Mayor thought there was sufficient evidence to
justify him in remanding the case.
In reply to Mr. Beard his lordship refused to admit the
prisoner to bell, seeing that the other man was avoiding •
warrant.

Mr. ioartl—l was not aware there was one out against
hint.

The Lord Mayor—Ob yea, there is.
Mr. Beard—The defendant is satisfied that with a short
remand he will be able to convince you of his innocence.
The case was then remanded till next Wednesday.

Wednesday next is the last day of the long vaca-
tion at common law, and Tuesday in chancery, and
Michaelmas term begins on Saturday week.

THAIWES.

William' Clarke, a boy about 14 years of age, was
brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing a ss.
paper of pence from the Widow's Son public-house, in
Devon's-road, Bromley.
On Wednesday morning Mr. Richard Brodie, the land-
Pont of the Widow's Son, received information from a lad
named William Appleton, of No. 5, Queen's-road, Brom-
ley, that some boys had walked into his bar, and that one
of them had brought on t a packet of pence and given it to
another boy. Mr. Brodie at once missed • brown paper
packet from a sideboard, and gave information to the
police. The prisoner was apprehended in the afternoon
by William Clowes, • police constable, No. 299 K, but no
part of the stolen money was found upon him.
The boy Appleton, who behaved very well in the affair,
said that he saw the prisoner and two other boys in front
of the Widow's Son at half-past 8 o'clock on Wednesday
morning. The prisoner went inside the house, and his com-
panions waited at the door on the look-out. The prisoner
returned in • minute with a packet of money, which he
gave to a bigger boy, and they all walked up the hill. He
left them dividing the money.
Clowes said the prisoner belonged to a gang of young
thieves who were continually frequenting the tradesmen's
shops and plundering the tills, or anything they could lay
their hands on. The prisoner was charged on Monday
with stealing a till, and escaped because the prosecutor
was not in attendance. On another occasion the prisoner
was indicted for stealing :is. 4d., but the grand jury threw
out the bill ; and upon • third occasion he was tried by •
jury and acquitted.
The Prisoner—Settle this at once, your worship. I am
guilty.
Mr. Benson said that the prisoner was very lucky in
escaping so often, but he would not escape this time.
He should dispose of the case summarily, but not pass a
light sentence. He sentenced theprisoner to four months'
imprisonment and hard labour.
After the prisoner was removed to the cell, Mr. Benson
ordered Roche, the gaoler, to bring him back, and mid—
i have discovered the act of parliament only permits
me to award three months' imprisonment where the
amount of property stolen does not exceed in value ss.
Your sentence is altered %three months' impriscemantand

CLEItKENIVELL

Mary Wriykl,lBT;lUnion-street, Clarendon-square, •
laundress, was charged before Mr. Barker with stealing •
tablecloth and • packet, the property of Alderman Sir
S. Waterlow, of Highgate.
Mr. Sicketts, solicitor, defended.
Mrs. Jane Collett, of Sunnybank, Hornsey-lane, said that
she carried on business as a laundress, and the prisoner
was in her 114:1 vice. For the last two or three weeks pro-
perty had been missing from the laundry, and suspicion
fell on the prisoner, as she was the sorter, and the only
one that could have taken the property. From informa-
tion she (the prosecutrix) received, she asked the prisoner
where she had taken the things she had stolen for two or three
weeks, and she replied that she had nottaken a packet in all
her life. She then gave the prisoner into custody, and at
the police-station a tablecloth was found upon her. That
tablecloth belonged to Sir S. Waterlow, and the value of
it was about 2/. 10s.

Police-sergeant Daniels, 33 Y, said he took the prisoner
into custody, and when he told her the charge, she said
that the things were not entered in the book, and that she
intended to take them home. He had searched the pri-
soner's lodgings, and had found a number of articles that
bad been stolen from the prosecutriz.
Mr. Ricketts said that as this was the defendant's first
offence he hoped the magistrate would deal with it. He
called witnesses who gave the prisoner • high character
for honesty heretofore.
Mr. Barker said it was plain that this was not the pri-
soner's first offence, and sentenced her to be imprisoned
and kept to hard labour in the Howie of Correction for six
calendar months,
SOUTHWARK.
Cornelius Hogan, a well-known thief, was placed at the
bar before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing a whip
from a cab at the South Eastern Railway Terminus, Lon-
don-bridge.
Mr. Albert Lewis, from the office of Mr. Freeland, soli-
citor to the railway company, attended to prosecute.
It appeared from the evidence of George Wilson, cab.
driver, badge No. 13,535, that he had his cab at the ter-
minus, and while conversing with another cabman the pri-
soner went up to his vehicle and stole the whip. Witness
followed him and saw him drop it over the railings. He
was seized and given into custody.
John Hall, another cabman, said be was standing near
his cab talking with the prosecutor, when he saw the pri-
soner take the whip and ran off with it. He followed him
and saw him throw the whip over the railings, and then
he tried to escape, but witness seized him and held him
until a constable came, when he gave him into custody.
Richard Brough, an inspector of the South Eastern
Railway Company's police, said he received information of
the robbery, and pursued the prisoner down Duke-strest,
and apprehended him at the cornerof Dean-etreet.
The magistrate asked if he knew the prisoner.
Witness replied in the affirmative. He bad frequently
seen him loitering shoat the station.
The prisoner pleaded guilty, and the magistrate sen-
tenced him to three months' hard labour.

LAMBICTH.

John Smith, 16, John Lewis, 16, and James Arnold, 21,
who are well known as forming part of a gang of young
pickpockets infesting the Crystal Palace and other public
places, were charged before Mr. Elliott with attempting
to rob several persons.
Police-sergeant Tarrant, 387 A B, said about 20 minutes
before seven o'clock he saw the prisoners, whom he had
been for some time watching, go amongst the crowd of
visitors about departing from the Crystal Palace. He dis-
tinctly saw Smith put his hands into the pockets of three
ladies, while the other prisoners and another not in
custody stood round and covered his operations. Smith
then left the crowd, and Lewis took his place, and tried
three or four ladies' pockets, afterwards bringing something
in his hand and passing it to the fellow who escaped. Wit-
ness then Liked a civilian to secure Smith, which he did.
The prisoner Smith on being taken slipped off the two
coats he was wearing and endeavoured to get away. The
other prisoner was taken by another constable. On Smith
was found eight postage. stamps, 4s. 7d., a railway ticket,
and an open pen-knife in his coat pocket. Lewis had in
his possession the red leather lady's purse (produced) with
brass edging. He also had loose in his pockets 7e. lid, in
silver, 41d. in coppers, and six postage stamps.
Lewis—The purse is mine ; I had not long bought it.
The constable—ln one of the divisions in the purse was
found a small photographic portrait, which had evidently
been in • locket. It is that of a middle-aged gentleman,
with a rather high forehead and moustache. There was
also the following address card: " J. N. Budd, metal agent,
16, Austinfriars." It was not very likely a purse would be
bought with those things in it, and, besides that, the purse
was not a new one.
_ . . .

Police-constable Fuller, 393 R, proved taking the priso-
ner Arnold, who, however, denied the charge entirely.
Thomas S. Hill, one of the inspectors of the London,
Chatham, and Dover Railway, said he identified the priso-
ner Smith as having been charged about three week' back
at the Brixton Railway station with picking *lady's pocket,
but owing to the lady being obliged to go into the country
by train, she declined to prosecute, and the prisoner was
set at liberty.
Police-constable William West, 112 G, said be bad
known all three prisoners since they were children. They
had all been convicted, and Smith and Lewis, alias Ander.
son had not long been out of prison. They were connected
with a regular organised gang of pickpockets. They had
a Lao, he believed, been convicted at this court.
The prisoners, who made no reply to the charge, were
then remanded.

CH I'RCH MATTERS.

The unconditional and peremptory tone of the resolu-
tions agreed to by the Irish bishops, is regarded by the
Tiros as indicating one of the reasons why the party whom
the prelates represent have not gained IKfore this what
they wanted. The bishops do not wish the victory to be one
of argument, and they wind up this very manifesto with a
loud inuendo that secret societies and open insurrection
have in a way their justification, in the endowment of the
protestant church and the fact of tenants being left to
make theirlown bargains with their landlords. Is this to
condemn Fenianism or to justify it ; to assist in suppress-
ing it or to connive ? It is by such tactics, added to those
of lawful warfare in the field of politics, that the Irish
catholics lose the ground they gain, or might gain, in par-
liament.

The Posr regards the Pan-Anglican synod as the greatest
step ever taken towards that united action of all Anglican
churches which alone can achieve ap adequate resistance to
the encroaching efforts of Rome.
Censuring the late pastoral of Cardinal Cullen, the Star
observes that in his savage mood of Roman catholicism, he
never pauses so reflect on the mischief he causes by adding
fresh irritants to the already sore sides of Irish polemical
discussion. What can be say to Orangemen when ho him-
self presents such an example of overheated intolerance?
Patience is surely a Christian and a social virtue, patience
even with the faults and the mistakes of others; but a
rabid impatience of the convictions of others is not likely
to pass unnoticed or unceosured at this moment.

Discussing the serious controversy in Austria respecting
the Concordat, the Times suggests that if M. newt were
to look the difficulty in the face he might find it leas un-
surmountable than it is supposed. The Austrian people
need not drive the clergy from their schools. Indeed, it is
doubtful whether they could altogether dispense with
them. It is only necessary that exclusive ecclesiastical
control should owe. The laity should come in for their

The supply of English wheat on sale in our market
tO-.lay was only moderate, but most of the samples came le

A FRENCH INVASION OF ROHL.

The Daily News refers to the plain statements of
the Italian cabinet at the time the September convention
was negotiated, to show that the French Emperor cannot
pretend to be now taken by surprise at the inability of the
Italian administration to bar effectually the passage across
the frontier. The policy of France in connexion with
Rome has since the expedition of 1849 frequently been cha-
racterised by bad faith. By the convention the Emperor
undertook to apply the principle of non-intervention to
Rome, and it seems incredible that he can now add one
more fatal folly to the indictment against the second
empire, and set himself against all the living forces of
civilisation. The Daily News cannot believe that he is
so weary of his throne and of his life as to concentrate
upon himself all the baulked and thwarted passion of a
people prone to revenge its wrongs. Whatcanhberal France
expect from him at home if he cements, at the instance of
ail the reactionists of Europe, to lavish the blood and
treasure of France in sustaining the most reactionary
government on earth ? No, if Signor Rattazzi desires to
prove his gratitude to the Emperor Napoleon let him take
courage, as the French say, " with both hands," and before
a new French intervention is resolved upon, let him march
to the gat.' of Rome, give the Romans an opportunity of
expressing their national will, and make Rome at once the
centre of catholicity and the capital of a free state.
_ _

'I he Post expects to see a joint occupation of Rome by
France and Italy. A French flag and a French regiment
may suffice to represent the armies of Napoleon, while the
Italian troops, under the Crown Prince, could in a day
restore order in the Pontifical territory. Rome thus jointly
occupied, negotiations might proceed for the permanent
settlement of Italy, and with the departure of the Carl-
baldians, the occupation might come to an end. If the
Pope agreed to accept accomplished facts, and his just acd
great position in the Italian State, the last hour of the
temporalities might usher in a secured spiritual dominion,
governed from the undisturbed throne of St. Peter's.
The Stuadarri insists that in the papal provinces the
people are sufficiently satisfied with their present condi-
tion to refuse to take any steps to change it. The same
I paper attacks the Italian government with complicity in
the invasion and regrets the French government did not
declare its determination earlier.

The Tchyraph thinks that the time for unopposed inter-
vention, at all events, has passed. The cause of the insur-
gents has become the cause of Italy ; and the inaction of the
King's government is pardoned by the nation solely because
everyone assumes that, as soon as the necessity shall
become imperative, the royal troops will be ordered to
march across the frontiers, and to occupy the papal terri-
tories.

HEREFORD RACES.-THURIIDAY.

The sport decided to-day at Hereford was a consider-
able improvement upon that brought to issue on the two
previous days at Cheltenham, whilat the general company
was also much larger, and the ring attendance augmented.
With respect to the weather, which in the morning looked
threatening, there was little to be desired, for although •
slight shower preceded the first race, the afternoon was
bright and sunshiny.

Faux FLORENCE TO ROME.-A letter from
Rome, dated Dec. 144 in yesterday's Moniteur, says
The railway from R.,me to Florence was completed three
days back by the opening of a final section which remained
to be finished. The two capitals are now only twelve
hours apart, a fact which is certainly not without import.
anco from a political point of view. Many officials, even
ecclesiastic', are taking advantage of the Christmas holi-
days to visit the capital of Italy; on the other hand,
Italian deputies, senators, and some superior officers, are
to bo seen walking in the streets of Rome."

PROPoARD CHORAL FRSTIVAL IN EXETER CATHY-
' ORAL—A memorial bearing about 500 signatures of clergy
and laity in the west of England has been presented to
the Dean and Chapter of Exeter cathedral, praying for
the use of the noble edifice for a grand choral festival.
The dean (Viscount Middleton) is known as the protes•
tent dean, and, with the chapter, be has refused the prayer
of this large body of ritualists. The memorialist" made
a very strong case, viz., that meetings have been held in
the cathedrals of Canterbury, York, Durham, Winchester,
Ely, Hereford, Lichfield, Llandaff, Oxford, Peterborough,
and Salisbury, and in the various churches in this and
other dioceses. and have produced a marked improve-
ment in the mode of conducting the musical portions of
divine service. It is thought that • gathering in th
cathedral would tend to the same effect in the diocese of
Exeter, would improve and encourage parish choirs, would
promote congregational singing, and deepen the love with
which the cathedral, as the mother church of the diocese,
is regarded. The refusal of the dean and chapter has
some significance.

THE NEW TEAL-ANTICIPATION.

The greater part of mankind wake from the old year,
the Mac* reniarks, with a sensation of some particular
work to do, and our best wishes for the season on New
Year's Day, 1867, are that the nation may do its year's
work well, and that year's work, so fel. as we can see, is
parliamentary reform. It is almost idle to talk of other
boons in store for us, or other business to be done—for
this one work looms through the mist, still larger, still
darker, meeting us face to face, and refusing to be turned
aside. As to how it is to he done, the conservative opposi-
tion la-t year sternly decided that it must be in the form
of a complete bill, and if the government wish
to shirk it they would only have to take a
d.viNion upon terns dictated by their opponents, who
would also have the choie.y of time. If a bill cannot be
promised at the opening of the session, then the debate
on the address will be the day of brttle, and the House of
'ommons can hardly expect to be backed by their consti-
tuencies in a decieon to defer reform to a snore conve-
nient.opportunity. The least sign of vacillation or con-
cealment will be understood as a plea for delay, with the
h ,pe of tbat escape which delay may bring; and d-.
are indeed dangerous when it ie an antogonist that

In Ireland, 10,002,068 acres, or 64 per cent. of
the cultivated area, are returned as permanent
pasture.
In the Isle of Man 33 per cent. of the cultivated
acreage is under corn crops, 31 per cent. under
clover and other grasses in rotation, 15 per cent.
under green crops, and the remainder almost
equally divided between bare fallow and permanent
pasturo. In the Channel Islands the corn crops
average only 16 per cent., while 39 per cent. is
permanent pasture, and 25 per cent. green crops.
The total area of arable land, as given in the re-
turns for England, is 13,263,806 acres ; in Wales,
1,026,943 ; in Scotland, 3,266,294 acres ; in Ire-
land, 5.747,738 acres; in the Isle of Man and the
Channel Islands, 93,529 acres ; making for the
United Kingdom an aggregate of 23,197,320 sta-
tute acres. The arable land is appropriated
thus:

Calculating the proportions which result from the
above figures we find that while 23 per cent. of
the English arable land is devoted to wheat culture,
only per cent in Scotland and 5 per cent. in
Ireland is under wheat. In barley also the English
ratio is 14, in Scotland 6}, and in Ireland 3 per
cent. ; while oats and rye occupy 31 and 30 per
cent. of the arable acreage in Scotland and Ireland,
and only 13 per cent. in England. Potatoes enter
only to the extent of 2} and 4 per cent, into farm
culture in England and Scotland, but in Ireland
they occupy 19 per cent. of the arable acreage. It
must be remembered, however, that the Irish
returns include all occupiers, great and small,
which tie English and Scotch returns do not.
Roots and green food for cattle account for 18
per cent. of the arable acreage in England, 16 per
cent. in Scotland, and 8 per cent. in Ireland.
Bare fallow or uncropped arable land amounts to
8 per cent. in England, 3 ,per cent. in Scotland,
and per cont. in Ireland. England has arti-
ficial grasses and clover in the proportion of 18
per cent., Scotland 35, and Ireland 29 per cent.
Nearly half the acreage under corn crops (43 per
cent.) is devoted to wheat in England, barley and
oats being in the proportion of 25 and 20 per oent.
In Wales, on the contrary, 48 per cent. of the corn
land is under oats, and only 22 percent. of wheat
In Scotland oats take 74 per cent. of the corn
acreage, and only 8 percent. of wheat ; Ireland has
even a larger proportion under oats (78 per cent.),
with 14 per cent. of corn. In Jersey 86 per cent.,
and in Guernsey 49 per cent. of the corn land is
under wheat crop.
Potatoes occupy in Ireland 71 per cent of the
