THE REPOBLICAM VICTORIES IN THE ENIILD STATES.

The result of the late elections in Pennsylvania will,
the Daily News thinks, have surprised only the most in.
perficial observers. The violent speeches of Mr. Stevens
and others raised a considerable feeling in Mr. Johnson's
favour, but from the time the Philadelphia convention
met the turn of the tide became obvious. Mr. Raymond,
of the New York Tines, in his letter declining to
be again nominated for Congress, has confessed that
Mt. Johnson's party is identical with the old de-
mocratic organisation, and the endeavour to fight
the battle on new ground has utterly failed. Mr.
Johnson has exacted no conditions from his new supporters,
' and the issue before the people has become exactly what it
was years ago. Of the extent of the republican victory
in Pennsylvania we know nothing at present. But of the
immense and even decisive importance of a victory in the
" Keystone State" even the British public are well aware.
The great State of Pennsylvania occupies a position which
has long made its movements the key to the
politics of the Union. In every great presi-
dential contest the vote of Pennsylvania has gone
on the winning side, and every change of public opinion
which has been decisive enough to affect the policy of the
Federal government has been foreshadowed in the Penn-
sylvanian elections. Mr. Johnson's party, in the days of
its hopes, set down ten other districts as likely to be
gained from the republicans. We shall most likely find
that not only have all those districts returned republicans
ea before, but that three of those now represented by de-
mocrats have returned members hostile to Mr. Johnson's
schemes. In that case those schemes may be considered
es at an end.

included in the bankers balance of 570/. 19a. 4d. The
expenditure of the last year has exceeded the expenditure
of the preceding year by upwards of 1531. ; but thin increase
is mainly owing to the rive in the pries of provisions, and
to the ripe in the price of other articles itobsequent on the
rise in the pries of provisions. The moans of " dona-
tions and subscriptioes" is greater than it has been for
some years past, and the funds of the institution
have been increased by a legacy of 5001., bequeathed by
the late Mr. Henry ?Elsa, of Dowsfield-hoar, Hereford.

Hr. COWPER said be believed it bad been the practise
foe the °afferent houses to drain them into the nearest river
er
ornamental water. This practice prevailed to
some ertent in Regent's-park, and in 1862 he
discovered that the drainage of one of the villas
was flowing into the ornamental water. He then
sonceeeded in diverting the sewage, and last veer,
during the hot weather, the medic►l officer of Marylebate
repeated to him that there was a smell teem the ornamental
water which wee very disagreeable and injurious to health.
Se thea had to consider what was to be done in that stare
ed things, and whether it would sot be better to draw off
the water and clear out the mud ; bat on consideration
that *novo, appeared to be very disagreeable to the inhabi-

(Before the Deputy-Recorder.)

Belinda Kennedy, a well-dressed elderly female, surren-
dered in discharge of her bail, to rower an indictment
charging her wish writing and publishing a scandalous and
malicious libel of and concerning Mary Ann Pitteodreigh
and Thomas John Pitteodieigb, ber husband.
Mr. Montagu Williams, with whom was Mr. W. Sleigh
(iestroeted by Mews. Priohard mad Collette, of Liscolo's-
inn-fields), appeared for the promotion ; and Mr. F. H.
Lewis appeared for the defendant.
Mr. M. Williams, in opening the cue, stated that the
prcsecutor was a clerk in the service of a highly respectable
solicitor, and the defendant wits the wife of a gentleman
who held a government appoietomot. It appeared
that early is the moth of June, 1861, the pro.
secretor and his wife took apartments in the home
of the defendant, in Carlton-street, Kentish-town. arm
Pitteadreigh was in • feeble state of health, end was
oonfieed to her room. She amfided ber children to
the care of Mrs. Kennedy, who during the indiepositiou
of the mother took the children, and bad them bsptised by
• Roman catholic priest, the mother and her husband being
both of the protestant religion. On the recovery at Mrs.
Pittendreigh she objected tJ the course whisk bad hem
takes with regard to her children end a fend essired, is
which a Mrs. Leger, who lived opposite, took pert. Various
disputes took place, which Waco& megisterial investigs.
tics and at last an anonymous letter was addressed to and
received by Mr. Hunt, whose house the prosecutrix and
her husband lodged, which was to this effect :—" Yon have
an Irishwoman mused Pittesdreigh lodging with you, and
I would advise you to be careful ; her impositions have been
so numeross, and her oosdnet so very diagneeful, that
the very policemen were glad to get rid of her. She
was an eternal pest, and has • flippant tongue." The
libel went on to say that she had doped divers
tradesmen, and swindled others, mad to serrate er-

London, England, 1866-01-30

OP THII UNITZD BUTS&

The Post accepts the decision of the American Serrate en
Mr. Chandler's motion for withdrawing the American
envoy as a pledge of the friendly feelings with which the
Americans regard the English people. Why that gentle-
men should further consider that the insufficiency of the
British Foreign Enlistment Act should be regarded as
furnishing a ground for the repeal of all laws which
impose obligations of neutrality it is unable to say.
Yet this appears to be the course which Mr. Chandler is
anxious to press on the American Senate. The Post has little
doubt that the second proposition of the hen. senator will
meet with the same fate as the first. Itrus the interest of all
civilised states to confine hostilities, when they unfor-
tunately arise, within as narrow limits as possible ; and
as in • matter of this kind Great Britain hag as great
interests at stake as the United States, there is no reason
why some enactment should not be assented to by both
countries which would prove effectual to prevent similar
violations of neutrality to those which have unfortunately
given rise to • serious misunderstanding.
With no wish to underrate the significance of the present
state of things, the Star would find it difficult to believe
that either we or the United States could ever seriously
think of referring each a matter as that of the Alabama
claims to the arbitrament of the sword. Even if • resolu-
tion were carried by either house of the American Legisla-
tor°, the calm judgment of the American government
would not thereby be overruled and driven into action.
The committee on foreign affairs, to whom Mr.
Chandler's proposition, had it been successful,
would have been referred, are about the last body
in the world to recommend • precipitate course. The
refusal of the English government to listen to any offer of
arbitration is the only fact which renders the situation
seriously inconvenient, but we mast not run away with the
belief that the interrupted discussion can never be reopened
in peace, or that every angry speech made by an individual
is a mao•ae of hostilities from a oaks.

The shrewd Yankee intellect cannot fail, the Telegraph
thinks, to see that the United States will gain more by push-
ing their legitimate trade than they could possibly secure by
quarrelling with this oonntry. America has still stronger
reason. for abandoning her untenable claims, in the con-
sideration that, had they been enforced, America herself
might hereafter be called upon to reimburse some conti-
nental state for losses °wakened by vessels proceeding
from Atlantic ports—an obligation which no government
could sesame to undertake. We do not recognise activity
on behalf of our neighbours as an international duty. If
England had done nothing--absolutely nothing—to prevent
the equipment of cruisers—if she had remained perfectly
quiseoent—neverthelese, so long se her inaction did not
amount to actual connivance, she would have sufficiently
observed the law of nations.
London, England, 1866-01-30

(Before Mr. Commissioner Herr.)

George Gate, 26. smith, was charged with unlawfully
assaulting Henry Elack Dawson, and causing him grievous
bodily harm.
Mr. Thompson conducted the prosecution.
The cirecenstannes of this case will be fresh in the reool-
leotioe of the publi3. The prisoner and the prosecutor
were both employed in the establishment of Mr. White, au
iron manufacturer in Camomile-street, Bishopagate, and it
appeared that on the dry mentioned in the indictment a
dispute took place between, them, and they abused each
other, and the prosecutor struck the prisoner. The latter
immediately snatched up a hammer weighing two pounds
and three-quarters and threw it at him, and the consequence
was that one of his ribs wee broken in two places. The
prisoner seemed to have expressed great sorrow at what he
had done immediately after the occurrence, and there was
no doubt that he received a good deal of provocation before
he threw the hammer in the way described.
The learned commissioner expressed his opinion that,
under the circumstances, the charge could not be supported.
The prisoner appeared to have been struck tint by the pro-
secutor, and tee at once seized the hammer and threw it,
without any deliberation or premeditation. Upon these
facts he did not consider that the prisoner was amenable to
the present charge.
The jury oonsequently returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

In the report of an application to the Court of
Exchequer to suspend an attorney in Manchester,
which appeared in this paper on the lith instant,
the name of the attorney was, through a mistake of
the reporter, given as " Ambrose," instead of

of Ambrose. There is a barrister of that name,

Mendelssohn's Quintet in A major was one of the prodi-
gies of his precocious youth. Written at the age of seven-
teen, it is a chef lIMPIPITC of matured genius—a work which
will live among the most consummate efforts of the greatest
master., a work which cannot be listened to without eaten'
iahmeet mingled with delight. It was not altogether new
to the audience of the Monday Popular Concerts, having
been performed at ore of them six years ago, when the first
violin was played by Molique and the violoncello by
Piatti. Lent night it received the fullest justice from
the excellent artists to whom it was entrusted, and
was applauded to the echo, Beethoven's sonata in A flat
hone of the outpour's early productions, but is one of
the vary pealed of kis pianoforte works. The variations
um thorns of captivating beauty, and so full of variety
and fancy ; the Funeral March, which rivals in solemn
grandeur and impedes orehestral effect the famous march
in the Sisfonia dross; and the brilliant final movement
all concur to form • work which has never been °reeled
by any muter at any period. It severely tasked
Mr. HallPs powers as • performer, but he Imo-
seeded on the whole in doing it justice. Perhaps
be did not impart all the liquid *atoms of
toes which might be given to the exquisite theme and
its variations ; but the Fusers' March was • greed per-
ferments, sod the final allegro was most brilliantly
executed. Mosart's Trio (or Divertiment as it is celled)
for the viola, viola, and violoncello—a gem of melody and
peas -was perfectly well played, and seemed to *wheat
the audience, who, we believe, heard it for the first time.
And equal pleasure appeared to be derived from the per-
formance, by Meson. Halle and Straus, of Beethoven's
Sonata in 11, though it was probably wall known to a large
portion of the audience. The vocal portion of the concert
was somewhat weak. Miss Ida Gilles is • young sioger of
much merit, but was not happy in the choice of either of
bar airs.

EAST LONDON BANK (LIMITED.).-(THIS DAL

To-day the fourth ordinary general meeting of
this company was held at the London Tavern ; Mr. 0. B.
Burma, M.P., in the chair.
The report of the directors was taken as read. It has
already appeared in our columns.
The Cflaintuth observed that since the last meeting many
new and influential proprietors bad joined the berth. ie.
' circumstance of unusual character had arisen during the
half-year. Their progress had been satisfactory during the
half-year, and if all the proprietors examined their influence
to bring new accounts he had no doubt their future would
be most prosperous. They were much indebted to their
manager for the zealous and careful attention he had
paid to his duties, and they were likewise indebted
to the auditors for the careful and cautious examination
they bed made of the accounts. Looking at the amount of
profit sad the large rate at which the rebate was calculated,
some shareholders might think they might have paid •
higher dividend, bet the watchword of the direetors
WAS stability and Progress, not Fatima MOM'
parried with risk. He hoped the time was not
distant when they would pay a higher dividend than
5 per cent.. and he had no doubt that ultimately
they would become one of the first banking esta-
blishments in London. lost year the current accounts
were 346,0001., now they amounted to 422.0001. ; this,
he submitted, showed progress, and an increased degree
of public confidence. The number of customers was
increasing every day, and he believed that during the past
year they could show new account' for every day, while,
on the other hand he believed they had not lost a dozen
accounts since the Bank first opened. (Hear, hear.) This
was gratifying in another reopect, as showing the courtesy
and attention paid by the manager and the staff to
their customers. They ware much indebted to the
manager, Mr. Latter, through whose ears they had,
although discounting between 2,000,0001. and 3,000,0001.
from the beginaisg mustained only very trifling looses—
iodeed he believed that the whole extent of their losses
during the past half-year had been under 5001. The new
offices in Cornhill, which were rapidly approaching coin-
pletioe, were in every respect suitable to the requirements
of the bank, and no doubt when they got settled there they
would experience • considerable accession of business.
After reigning to the vacancies in the direction, and men-
tioning the names of the two candidates, one for election,
the other for re-election, he moved the adoption of the re-
port.
Ma C. CAPPER seconded the motion, which was carried
unanimously.
The dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum free
of income tax was then declared. Fifty guineas were voted
to the auditors for their part services. Mr. Polly was re-
elected • director, and Mr. Andrew Wilson was elected a
member of the board. The auditors were re-elected.
Thanks were voted to Hr. Latter, the general renewer, to
the nib-manager, secretary and other onions of the estab-
lishment, and the weal compliment to the chairman and
directors concluded the proceedings.

lIILLIERB AND ANOTHER V. MTN.
This was an actin against Mr. E. T. Smith, the pro.
pristcr of Cremoree-gardena, to remover damages in Donee-
quern of his not hay* carried out as agreement to em.
ploy the plaintiffs to perform on:a tightrope.
Mr. Kermaley, appeared for the plaintiff!, and Mr. Had.
dleeton, Q. 0., and Mr. Pearce for the defendant.
The plaintiffs ,were brother-in-law, the one being an
engraver, acid the other a bootmaker. In the number of
Pinch which wee published on the 21st June, 1861, was
" I challenge to Riendin," sad it consisted of • picture
of • man wheeling himself in • barrow on • tight-
rope over the top of the Crystal Palen. !inns.
sible as the feat seemed to be, Mr. Hillmer succeeded
in accomplishing it, or something very much like it. He
constructed a barrow with a weight heavier than a man so
placed that the weight of the man in the barrow was coun-
terbalanced sod the barrow would travel down a rope. The
wheel bad a groove which fitted on to the rope, and the
inventor said that the journey nubd be performed with
perfect safety. In October, 1864. the plaintiffs saw Mr.
Smith at Cremorne, and showed him the performance, and
an agreement was come to that he should engage the plain-
tiffs fora year, or longer if he should require it, and that
they should have 41. a-week in town and 51. when in the
country. The plaintiffs, but not the defendant, signed
this agreement, and the defendant retained it. He never
did, in fact, employ the plaiatiffs, and they sued him in
the county court for a week's salary, but were unsuited.
The defendant had, in fact, never employed the plaintiffs
at all.
The agreement. which was produced in the county wart,
had sines been lost, and therefore perol evidence was given
of its contents. The plaintiffs' evidence was that the salary
was to oommenee at once, but the defendant's case was
that it was what is koown in the theatrical profession es •
P.P. 'tenement. Then two letters stood for "play and
pay," and the meaning was that payment wee only to be
made for the time that the performances were given.
Mr. Huddleston also objected that the agreement was
void under the statute of frauds, benne it was an agree-
ment not to be performed within a year, and was not signed
by the defendant.
His lordship reserved this point for the opinion of the
full court.
The jury found a verdict fur the plaintiffs—damages 501.

CRYSTAL PALACE.

The series of Winter Saturday Concerts being
brought to a close, a new series has been begun, also on
Saturday afternoons, and given, not in the enclosed Con-
esart-room, but in the locality occupied by the great
eirobeirtra constructed for the Handel festivals. The first con-
cert of this new series took place on Saturday last, when
Bendel's celebrated Serenata, Avis awl OnUm, was per-
forated under the able direction of Mr. Manna. The annonnoe_
went of such an entertainment attracted a great audience
and the performance was received with much applause. Th;
character of Galatea was sustained by Mille. Titienz ; the
giant Polyphemus, by Mr. Santley ; and Acis, by Signor
Stag;no, instead of Signor Gardoni, who was prevented by
inilisposition from singing. The chorus and instrumental
orchestra were about a thousand strong.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

Madame Maria Wilda, who made so brilliant a
&Ina iu Norma, repeated the part on Saturday, with even
pester ■uccoas than before. No longer under the influence
of stage tremor, she sang with consummate excellence,
with a power and beauty of voice, and facility of execution
ands truth of expression, which we have not heard excelled
by any Norma now on the stage. The audience were almost
rapturous in their applause. It is said that this lady is a
service on the stage, and had never appeared in Norma
before; nay, that she knew nothing about this opera till
it e set a`a3ut studying it for her debut at Covent Garden.
We can understand her being a novice on the stage, for
mks has evidently much to learn as an actress. But she is
certainly no novice as a singer ; and her alleged ignorance
ef such an opera as Norma is to us simply incredible.
