THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.

A gentlemanly-looking young man, who had been ad•
mitted to bail, attended before the Lord Mayor to answer
a charge of having attempted to pick the pockets of seve-
ral gentlemen in Cheapside.
Mr. T. Beard attended for the defence.
This was a case of a very singular character. The com-
plainant was a shabby-looking young man, who stated his
name to be Thomas Brooke, and described himself as a
painter, and residing in Southwark, and, according to his
evidence, he was in Cheapside on Friday afternoon, but
could not say exactly what time, but believed it was
between two and three o'clock, when he saw the pri-
soner standing at the stereoscopic shop window near
Bow Church, and watched his movements. He represented
that he then saw the prisoner put his hands into the
pockets of several gentlemen, and he said he was so
engaged for about twenty minutes. After he had watched
I the prisoner for ten minutes he called the attention of a
I police-constable to him, and he watched him for some
I time, but as he did not see him do anything suspicious
be went away and refused to interfere. The witness said
that he then asked permission to go on to a scaffold
that was close by, and from thence be watched the move-
ments of the prisoner, and saw him put his hands into
other gentlemen's pockets. He went to one of the gentle-
men and asked him if he had lost anything, and he said
he had not, and the prisoner then walked away, and he
followed him and gave him into custody.
This witness, in cross-examination. gave a very extraor-
dinary account of himself. He said that there
were a number of persons besides the prisoner stand-
ing at the window, and four times he went and stood
close by him, and he distinctly saw biro put his fingers into
one gentleman's pocket, but he could not say whether it
was the waistcoat pocket or the trousers pocket, but it
was near the waistcoat. The prisoner bad a top °oat on
which was partially unbuttoned, and his thumbs were in
his own weistooat pocket pert of the time. When he
charged the prisoner with having attempted to pick a gen-
tlemen's pocket, he pulled out his card case and offered

HAITI AND ST. DOMINGO.

- -
The following intelligence has reached us from
Haiti, under date of Nov. 8 :
The reactionary movement which had broken out in the
department of Cibao against General Cabral has just been
put down by the spontaneous and energetic exertions of
the inhabitants themselves, and this even before that
general had had time to despatch troops against the insur-
gents. General Bonito, Moncion and many other persons
of more or less importance have been taken prisoners, and
conducted to St. Domingo, there to be brought to trial.
Salnare, chief of the late Cape Haitian insurrection, toge-
ther with many others who had taken an active part
therein, are in the woods, where they are panned and
hunted down in every direction.
General Cabral, the competitor of Baez, and who has
been raised by the unanimous suffrages of his fellow
citizens to the Presidentship of the Dominican Republic,
while notifying his elevation to General Geffrard, has not
only expressed the most amicable sentiments, but also his
most anxious wish that the prosperity of the two nations
in possession of the island of St. Domingo might be
secured by means of a treaty of friendship and alliance.
There is every reason to hope that the two governments
will not long delay entering upon the necessary negotia-
tions for establishing those friendly relations, political as
well as commercial, which are so indispensable for the
mutual welfare of, and good understanding between, two
contiguous nations.

'ERR NEI? REFORM BILL.

...- ..-__
It would be an unfortunate mistake for themselves, says
the Dai/v New, if any party section should indulge the
dream that the Reform Bill of last year, which was a coin-
promise, can be hereafter accepted. Not only, indeed, is
there now a fixed determination to have more than was
before offered, but public opinion is every day
advancing further and further in the direction of
enlarged demands, and is daily tending to form
itself in approval of a resort to household suffrage
at once. Already, before Christmas, we have been in Lon-
don alone 25,000 men, whom nobody ventures to say can
be, or ought to be, longer excluded. But what London
has shown has been also exhibited in a corresponding
scale in every large town in the country. There is no
ground for expecting that the real chiefs of the liberal
party will be backward in appreciating the circumstances
that make its present policy wore decided and emphatic
than its ]cost. All the elements of reaction will doubtless
exert their secret influence. Every suggestion which can
excite alarm, or incline to negligence, will be brought into
play by those who desire the profit of the name of liberals
without loss of the privileges of conservatism. But there
I were more than half overcome last session, and we may
confidently expect that they will prove wholly powerless
I in the next.

EGYPT.

CAIRO, Dec. G.

The address of the Egyptian delegates in reply
to the speech of the Viceroy at the opening of the
Chamber praises his Highness's administration,
and expresses satisfaction that the Sultan, under
the guidance of Divine inspiration, had granted to
the present dynasty the right of direct hereditary
succession to the vice-regal throne, a measure
which the delegates consider to be the surest safe-
' guard of the country's tranquillity, and the best
guarantee for its future welfare. The delegates
also thank the Viceroy for having established a
national assembly, and express their conviction
that its deliberations being inspired by earnest
devotedness and enlightened patriotism, will eon-
! duce to public concord and to the prosperity of the
land. The address concludes by invoking the
blessing of the Almighty upon the Viceroy and
his son.

A PRorr-ssun.—We understand that the Council of Uni-
versity College have by a small majority elected Mr.
Robertson, a youthful representative of the Cowtean
School of Philosophy, to the professorship of mental
philosophy and logic. The new professor is a pupil of
Mr. Alexander Pain. and was brought forward under the
auspices of that gentleman, Mr. Grote, Mr. J. Stuart
Mill, &c. A strong feeling exists amongst the fellows and
proprietors of the college at the rejection, on sectarian and
party-philosophical grounds, of Prof. James Martineau,
and a requisition relating to the subject, headed by the
well-known Prof. Reynolds, of Cbealiunt College, has, it
is said, been very numerously signed, but the majority
of the council declined to allow this fact to influence
their decision. . .

THE LONDON DAILY RECORD—STOCK
and SHARE LIST.—Nr. PETER WATSON begs to call
particular attention to the fact that nearly all the afternoon or
evening London newspapers contain the prices of stocks and
shares up to about One o'clock only ion same day as pablishod
instead of Four to Five o'clock. The difficulties which share-
holders and the investing public have encountered in seeking fur
correct and latest daily prices Induced him, six months ago, at
the suggestion of several of his friends and customers, to pub.
lish every evening "The London Daily Record—Stock and Share
List," which is ready at about Ralf-past Five o'clock, and deli-
vered to subscribers in and around Loudon the oar= evening. It
is posted in tune for the same evening's mail to country sub-
scribers, who arc thus enabled to get the latest prices some eight
or ten hours earlier than they formerly had the means of doing.
The importance of this at the present anxious moment must be
obvious to all, as the daily fluctuations In prices of railway
stocks, banks, financial and other shares, are sometimes very

gret.
It is his constant endeavour to convey the best and most rell
able information :derived from authentic sources*, and to give
the latest actual marketable prices of buyers and sellers. Every
person, therefore, interested In stocks and shares will find It to
their interest to subscribe to the " London Daily Record—Stock

AMERICAN POLITICS.

The people of the South have reason to complain, the
Daily News mils, of the exteet to which they have been
misled by those of the North whom they bad too readily
trusted. There is nothing in the constitutional amend-
ment which they would not have accepted gladly as the
condition of their restoration to Congress if Mr. John-
son bad not given them reason to suppose that
he could procure them admission upon easier terms.
If Mr. Johnson should continue the contest it would be
rather in a spirit of obstinacy than for the sake of gaining
specific political clads. His Southern clients are not likely
to pates him to do so. They at any rate know by this
time the limit. of his power, and according to the best
opinions that can be obtained, it is probable that if they
are reasonably prompt in acknowledging the requirements
d the republic they may resume their old position in the
Union by simply ratifying the amendment, but that the
North will not be disposed to wait beyond a certain time,
probably not more than two, or at most three, months for
that purpose. Should the ratification be delayed beyond
that time, it is pretty certain that the condition of negro
suffrage will be added.
The Telegraph enumerates a variety of difficulties which
it sees in the way of the impeachment which has been
threatened of President Johnson. The whole case, it mays,
seems involved in a vicious circle from which there is no
outlet except by the bursting of revolutionary violence.
The Times finds in the character of the political agita-
tion now proceeding in America apt illustrations of what
would occur here under the system to which it says
England is now hounded on by the chief agitator of the
day. The good men, as they might think themselves,
would not allow the power and the government of the
country to fall into bad hands, and they would have no
other way to avert that fate and arrest that ruin than in
the old corrupt fashion—doing evil that good may come.

TRADE! MELLOWS.

It le observed by the Daily News that the strong !
weeds in which the trade outrages whisk have been per
in two towns noloorious for the lawless violence
of a portion of their population, have been denounced, lose
some of their force when they seem less to spring from a
hearty moral reprobation than to be dictated by an ulterior
political purpose. The party of reaction is bent on making
capital out of the misdeed' imputed to the trade societies.
But is it not the first business to consider who are really
incriminated ? The outrages have, in all probability, been
the work of individual fanatics; and even ** the
complicity of any one union could be proved,
it would still be most inequitable to extend the condemna-
tion beyond the limits of the offence. Particular trades
and districts have a deservedly evil reput►tion among the
working classes themselves ; and none more so than the
trades of Sheffield. But why should one class be singled
out for blame? Frauds in the mercantile world have
during the present year occupied at least as much
attention as trade outrages. They show • personal
morality as lax, and a sense of social obligation as
defective, ea the worst trade outrages, and have
diffused ruin and misery as wide-spread as those consequent
on the most irrational strike, and far less reparable. The
cue of Barnedh Banking Company affords an argument in
favour of the disfranchisement of the middle classes not less
sound than that drawn from the Fearneyhough ease in favour
of the continued refusal of the suffrage to the skilled
artisans of the country. Even taking the matter at its
worst, the remedy is not to be looked for by keeping up a
political outlawry, but by transferring the allegiance of the
working classes to the laws and government of the empire,
which the exercise of the parliamentary franchise would
considerably promote.

The following autograph letter has been ad•

Mailath :
Dear Anna Councillor von Mailath,--Among the med.
flees imposed on me by the fatal period of war, which has
just terminated, the adjownment of the diet of Hungary
has been one of the most trying, because the final
settlement of the constitutional relations of my
Kingdom of Hungary and consequently of the revival of
the constitution throughout the whole Empire, have been
thereby postroned fora certain period. It gives me lively
pleasure that the treaty of peace makes it possible for me
to oonvoke once more the Hungarian Diet which
was adjourned by the resolution of the 24th of
June last till the end of the war. But darlwf
the lamentable extension which the reigning epidemic
has taken, to my great sorrow, especially in the capitals
of my dear Hungary, I mud at present abstain from
fixing the day of meeting, but I d;rect you to make at
once the necessary preparations for that purpose when the
sanitary condition shall have improved. I order you
moreover to express my most sincere thanks to all
the inhabitants of my kingdom of Hungary, who
have voluntarily taken up arms for the defence of the
empire, whose existence was menaced, and to let them
know how I appreciate the innumerable marks of sym-
pithy which all chasm of the population have given
in the kind care which they have taken of
the wounded of my valiant army and that of
my brave allies. The persons whom this concerns may be
assured that whilst they have thus fulfilled one of the
noblest duties, that of love for our neighbour, they have
given real consolation to my paternal heart in its profound
affliction.

DREADFUL MURDER IN DERBYSHIRE.

About 12 o'clock yesterday morning a murder
was reported to Deputy Chief Constable Moran. of the
co my of Derby, as having taken place at Chaple Hollow,
Belper. He immediately repaired to the spot. and found
that an old man named Alfred Gibson had been shot
dead by a young man who goes by the name of Daniel
Marsh, who was then in custody, with a discharged Ran
in his band. The murdered man was instantly removed ;
two or three surgeons (including Mr. R. R. Allen end Mr.
Johnson) were sent for, but on their arrival in a few
seconds deceased was found to have been dead some time,
having been shot in the bowels (from the side), which were
protruding. An old woman, Sarah Gaunt, was
passing the "Hollow" when the diabolical deed took
place. She said that deceased, the alleged murderer, and
several other men were standing together in the street ;
as she was nesting them she heard a gun discharged ;
then saw a blaze ; deceased commenced to stagger, and
she ran up and caught hold of him round the waist.
saying, " I em afraid you are hurt, my lad." He replied
" I am shot ; it's all over with me !" and then fell dead at
her feet. Just at that moment Sergeant Carter, Acting-
sergeant Hollingworth, and another police-constable
came up and found prisoner with the recently dis-
charged gun in his hand. The deputy chief-constable
then arrested the accused and administered the usual
caution to him. He then remarked, " say 'nowt' at
all ; he wanted to take my gun, and the affair was done in
a struggle." The accused was then safely conveyed to the
Deputy Chief-constable's house, where he was kept under
surveillance all yesterday. The murdered man is a charac-
ter well known to the police, having been several times
convicted. He is also a married man, with a famiLC
of children. The amused is also a native of Belper,
being a nailer by trade. Previous to the committal of
the murder the parties, with several others, had been
drinking at various public-houses in Belper. No reason
can be assigned for the act, save the prisoner's state-
ment to the police. Necessary information was instantly
• given to the coroner of the district, and also to the chid-
. constable of the county, Mr. J. W. Fox. Quite a gloom
L was cast over the town during the whole of yesterday, and
I the news rapidly spread through the surrounding districts.

WORSHIP-STREET.

Martin Dolan, a man of massive build, was charged
with violently assaulting • foreman of works and a police-
eorstable, and also with damaging the door of • police cell.
The prisoner was brought into court handcuffed. He
wore a blue worsted Guernsey shirt, and as he stood in the
dock with his sleeves turned up, he presented a most for-
midable appearance.
Evidence was then called, which proved that that morn-
ing, about six o'clock, prisoner went to the corner of Bri-
tannia-street, in the City-road, where some pavement is
now being lard down, and asked the foreman of the works
for a job. The hands being complete he was of course re-
fused, and instantly 'truck theforeman a fearful blow in the
face, which felled him to the ground. The assault was repeated
with the like result, and on police-oonstable 422 A going to
prevent • repetition of the outrage, he was served in •
precisely similar manner three times, whereby his month
and eye were greatly injured. After this the ruffian laid
hold of the policeman by the waist, and flung him over on
the flag stones. A pavior, awned O'Brien, with others
on the spot, seized the fellow, and be was taken to the
Old-street station-house, but not without vast resistance,
until the police threatened to use their staves. When at
the station-house he threatened to break the head of
every officer in the place, and clear the station. Imme-
diately after being locked in a oell,a heavy hammering
was heard, and it was found that the lid of the water-
closet bad been wrenched off and used as a battering ram
against the iron-bound door, which was actually broken
thereby. Eventually it became absolutely requisite to
handcuff the prisoner, and that, too, was a most difficult
thifig to accomplish.
Prisoner denied having struck The constable, and swore
to it, but
Mr. Oooke said, in dealing with the saes, be should
punish him for each of the three offences separately. It
was not to be supposed that • workman, because b s ap-
plioation to be gives 'work was etasseeseefal, could tie per-

convicted of illegally refusing shottef ts main ant
women who came to Marylebone after tryilt in
vain for shelter at such places as Clerkenwell and
Martin's-in-the-Fields. But how far it is 'tin
allabillid If this fashion can be only known to the
masters of the several workhouses and the poor
wanderers themselves. The Poor-law Board may
draw its own conclusions from the returns sent in,
but neither the Marylebone guardians nor the
public have any guarantee that their strict obaerv-
ance of the law is not exceptional, and, with winter
approaching, it is highly desirable that the statis-
tics of other parishes should have equal publicity
with this. It will probably be remembered
that the Clerkenwell board, for example,
only provided casual wards after repeated
wanderers
exposures, and that they are peremptorily
closed to independent observers. The police will
take care that there is no repetition of the hideously
disgraceful manes we described last winter ; but to
what extent the destitute are admitted, and how
far they are refused, are matters as absolutely at
the discretion of the guardians as ever. Marylebone
may be bearing its proper proportion of a common
burden, or it may be unfairly taxed through the
shiftiness of its neighbours. No one can possibly
tell. What is known is that the Bouseless Poor
Act has worked in the main satisfactorily in a
parish confessedly hostile to it, but in which it was
determined to obey the law, instead of evading or
defying it. The Marylebone authorities may, how-
ever, ask with propriety that the "casual " stalis-
; tics and discipline of other metropolitan workhouses
shall be made public, and we trust this may be
done before the inevitable winter discussions and

are forced upon tug.

DIARLBOROUGHSTREET,

John Kaill, ;Fisf;74l, Union-street, Middlesex Hospital,
was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, by O'Shaughneasy, one
of the warrant officers, on a warrant, charged with assault-
ing and using violent threats towards his son, William

The complainant said—l reside at 22, Union-street,
Middlesex Hospital. The prisoner is my father. Yester-
day afternoon he caught hold of my windpipe, and swore
he would pull it out, and he then struck me in the mouth
and in several other places, and again swore he would not
let go of me till he pulled my windpipe out. He has at-
tacked me twice before in a similar manner : once ten
years ago, when I had him here.
In answer to the court the complainant said he never
laid his hand on his father.

The prisoner—Led you not send a note to me yesterday
of a scurrilous nature respecting your mother?
Complainant—l did not send any note to you whatever.
I know nothing of it.
Prisoner—lts your handwriting.
Complainant—lt is not. My father is angry with me
became I would not let my mother keep some property
which belonged to a poor person.
Alfred Angel and Caroline Hutchins were called, and
the former stated that he saw the complainant and the pri-
soner struggling together, and the latter said she heard the
prisoner say that whenever he saw the complainant in the
street he would cat his windpipe out.
Sarah Keil', daughter of the prisoner, said—My father
was angry, and asked my brother whether he sent the
note. My brother then struck my father.
The complainant—l did nothing of the kind.
Prisoner—l am afraid one of my ribs is broken.
Mr. Tyrwhitt, addressing the prisoner. told him that he
was afaid he was a violent old man, and he should order
him to find one bail in 51. to keep the peace for six months.

SERIOUS Ear Losiorr.—A terrible explosion took
place on Tuesday on the premises of Mr. A. Chidlaw,
China firework manufacturer, carrying on business in
Sherwelrs-yard, Diile-end. At the time of the disaster
four young women and a man were at work in the pre-
paring shop, a building not more than 15 feet long sad 12
feet wide. A portion of the fireworks exploded, when the
girls cried out as loud as they could " alp ! help !" Be-
fore, however, any one had time to enter the place, the
remainder of the inflammable contents became ignited,
and explosions followed in rapid succession, prostrating
the four girls and the man, setting the clothes of each an
fire, and blowing out several parts of the building. At
length the neighbours and police came in, having been at-
tracted to the spot by the noise occasioned by the explo-
sion, and they succeeded in pulling out of the burning
premises the five unfortunate persons ; and having extin-
guished the fire about their clothing, they were found to
be so terribly burnt that the surgeon who was called to
attend them advised their instant removalto the hospital,
which was accordingly done, but hardly any hope can be en-
tertained of the recovery of either of them. Their names
are Isabella Ovelow, Annie Peabody, Slim Hart, Emma
Thomas' and Christopher Kemp. The awn of the aspic.-
•
awn is not precisely known. The fire was waned to the
building in which it commenced.

with intent to endanger the safety of persona travWtng

Mr. Poland oonducted the proseautioo, and the prisoners
were defended by Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Collins.
The case was brought home to the prisoners mainly by
the evidence of two other boys, whose testimony received
some circumstantial oorroborasion.

MISCICLANEOCS TOFICS.

In America, the Daily Irma remarks. the proposal to
give the suffrage to the coloured men is not directly be-
fore the constituencies, yet men are everywhere feeling
that they must make up their minds about it. Maine,
Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts. and Rhode ,
Island make no distinction among their citizens on the
ground of their complexion. New York makes a distino-
Hon by demanding that a coloured citizen to be
qualified to vote shall prove himself to be the owner
of a freehold worth 230 dollars. All the other
States have mocumbed to the prejudices created and foe-
tend by slavery, and have confined the exercise of the
franchise to the white ram. But there has been a growing
feeling through the North that this is a limitation which
cannot be sustained oonsistently with the principles of their
Repubilean govannent. There would be no objection to
the lupwdlioa by any d the States of restrictions cm igno-
rance ar incapacity, provided that those restrictions created
only diequalificatione that might be surmounted, and were
impartially applied to white and black.
