MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

Morris Balser, 22, commisaion amt., a German, was is-
dieted ors four iodistreents far stea. jewellery, amount-
tog in the aggregate to about 5001.
Mr. F. B. Lewis (instructed by Lewis and Lewis) pro.
scented ; the prisooer, who pleaded guilty to all the
manta, was undefended.
Mr. F. H. Lewis said these eaveral indictments were
preferred against the prisms: for stealing this large quan-
tity of jewellery, and which be had obtained from the pro.
locators under the protean that he had an opportunity of
selling them. The prisoner was know!: to the prosecutors,
but it appeared that he had contrasted habits of extrava-
gance, and they had led him to the oommission of these
offeoces. He (Mr. Lewis) wished to call the attsatiou of
the court to the conduct of the pawnbrokers in this ease,
for it seemed that property to the amount of several hun-
dreds of pounds had been almost given away amongst the
family of Atteeboreogb. They bad received the property
on deposit notes at 15 per amt., with power at sale over
the same in one or two months, so that under sods a system
the property might have altogether passed away and saver
been recovered. No inquiry was made as to the prisoner,
who was a perfect stranger to them, and if esy gessoes
onFht to be indicted, this was the uses, for they bd given
this man every facility for disposing of stoles property.
As the prisoner, however, had given every miasma in re-
covering the stolen property, the prosecutors recommended
him to mercy.
The Assistant-Judge—lt is not the duty of this court to
originate prosecutions, but I think it would be well for theme
jewellers to coo lder whether they ought sot for their
own protection to indict some of them pawnbrokers for
receiving stolen property. I shall allow the pawn-
brokers no expenses, and all the property must be given
up to downier,. I observe, too, that all the principals of
these shops are absent, and by not coming forward to state
that what has been don* by their shaman had been done
without doe cautious, or to give any explanation of their
conduct, it leads me to suppose that they rather desire to
encourage such practices. With respect to you (the pri-
soner) we have taken into consideration that you base bees
the means of the property you dishonestly obtained Wag
restored, and the court will deal leniently with you by sen-
tencing you to 12 months' imprisoomeot and hard labour.

THE LOSS OF THE LONDON.

Mr. BOBBY asked the President of the Board of Trade
whether, is reference to the opinion expressed In the
official report of the investigation into the lois of the Lon-
don, that a great annual lou of life might be avoided if the
damp-load line were permanently maiked on all Teasels, he
would bring Is a bill requiring the deep
-load lies to be per-
menently marked on all vessels carrying paseengere and
merchandise.
Mr. M. GIBSON said the matter had been under the
orasideration of the board, but there would be insuperable
difflmi ties in laying dews any vale applicable to all ships
by which the government officers might permanently mark
the deep.load line, and decide in fact how deeply a vessel
might be lawfully laden. It was, therefore, not the intention
of the government to bring in any bill oo the subject.

THAMES.

--. .
Alfred Powell, aged 27, and described as having no
home, and Mary Awn Donohue, of No. 6, Boarding-entry,
no occupation, aged 26, were brought before Mr. Part-
ridge on remand, charged with stealing 841 b. of tea okthe
river.
..

On the evening of Thursday, the 30th of August, Mr.
Forfar received information that a chest of tea had been
stolen in transit from a barge on the river and conveyed to
No. 6, New Gravel-lane, Shadwell. He procured the as-
sistance of a land constable named George Moiham,
No. 143 K, and proceeded to the house, where
he found the female prisoner in a room surrounded
by parcels of tea. There was a dish contain-
ing tea on the table, and two bags each contain-
ing tea alongside of her. Ina cupboard in the same
'house a broken tea chest was disooverd. Forfar made
a search in the room, and saw the male prisoner concealed
under a bed, and dragged him out. One bag contained
501 b. of tea, another 301 b., and there were other parcels
making up 1441 b. in all. Both prisoners denied all know-
ledge of the tea.
Forfar said he knew both prisoners well as the associates
of thieves.

Both prisoners denied all knowledge of the tea, or how
it came into their possession.
Mr. Partridge, having ascertained that the ship to which
the tea chests were consigned from West Kent Wharf, bad
sailed, convicted the prisoners of unlawful possession of
841 b of tea, and sentenced them each to be imprisoned for
two months, and kept to bard labour.
Mark Dixon, a powerful, awkward-looking fellow, appa-
rently about twenty years of age, was charged with vio-
lently assalting Edward Powell.
The parties were inmates of the Stepney Union-house at
Bromley, and Mr. Parker, the master who preferred the
charge, said the prisoner had been an inmate since he was
13 years of age, and was likely to continue so. The pri-
soner had been repeatedly refractory and the terror of the
poor creatures who could not help themselves, and whom
he (Mr. Parker) was bound and determined to protect.
Mr. Partridge : lam very glad to hear you say so.
Edward Powell, an inmate of the Stepney Union-house,
11 said the prisoner attacked him without any provocation,
called him names, and after seising him by the arm, threw
him down several times and also struck him several times
with his fists. The prisoner had assaulted him before, and
very frequently.
Mr. Partridge (to prisoner)—Yon have committed a
cruel and violent assault on this poor boy, for which I
sentence you to be imprisoned for two months and kept to
hard labour.

THE WEEKLY PRESS.

The Saturday Review regards the retirement
of M. Dronyn de Lhuys as one of the great events of
the day, indicating the beginning of a new system
in French politics. The Emperor has never shown
himself more clearly to be the leader and master of French '
opinion than in the last few weeks, in which he has
brought M. Forcade round to his way of thinking. The new
foreign minister may, as a comparatively unknown man, be
supposed to be more willing to do exactly what his master
tells him than a man of greater prominence would be. To
have appointed M. Benedetti, the active friend of
Italy and Prussia, would have been too open a proclaim.
tion of adherence to the views of those Powers. The fall
of M. Drouyn de Lhuys marks that the Emperor is going to
act in a general accordance with those views ; but the Em-
peror naturally likes to be the arbiter of the degree and
mode in which this accordance will be manifested, and be
has probably seen in M. de Moestier a minister personally
abbe and creditable, and yet willing to ant and think as he
is bid.

Treating of Count Bismarck's policy, the Saturday
Berl m immune, that in the long run German unity
cannot fail to be popular in Germany, and Count Bismarck
need fear no reactionary revolution in favour of Austrian

THE COINAGE OF EUROPK-IMPOETANT CONVENTION.

The Tines publishes this morning a monetary conven-
tion between France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Italy—
a document which appears equivalent to an agreement on
the part of those countries to assimilate their coinage,
with the exception of copper money, to the French system.
The gold coinage will consist of pieces of five, ten, twenty,
fifty, and one hundred francs. The highest silver standard
will be the five-franc piece, and the smaller coins all be
two francs, one franc, fifty centimes, and twenty centimes.
The silver coinage, therefore, will descend to the value of
twopence, and the maintenance of a distinct copper coinage
will consequently he of very little importance. The range
of the coinage will be, in fact, extremely convenient,. The
100-franc piece will be a convenient form for carrying sums
of money, and will answer all the more considerable neces-
sities of the traveller, while none but the most insignifi-
cant transactions would require s coin of smaller value
than the 20-centime piece. It is to be observed also that
the coinage of these four countries not only
be assimilated, but the money of each country
will be a legal tender in all the others. The four govern-
ments agree that their Treasuries shall accept all the
gold and silver coinage of the contracting States ; they
will mutually exchange the amount of their respec-
tive coinages which may accumulate in each other's hands
from time to time ; they will communicate to each other
annually the total amount and the relative position of
their issues, together with all the arrangements and all
the administrative documents relating to coinages. In a
word these four countries, stretching right across the
most important part of Europe, will be as much united
for all purposes of monetary exchange as the different
parts of these islands. The old coinage is to be with-
drawn from circulation, and, with some exceptions,
this is to be accomplished before the Ist of January,
1869 ; so that this reform will be in practical
operation in less than two years and a half.
The convention still leaves unaltered the present diver-
gence in weights and measures, but the preamble expressly
states that this is one of the objects contemplated. The
Times thinks we may reasonably hope that a similar pro-
cells will now take effect amongst the German race, between
whom there still exist three or four principal and varying
systems of coinage. The European system will then be as
reasonable as we can possibly expect.
London, England, 1866-09-08

THE REFORM AGITATION.

The Times accepts Mr. Roebuck's account of the
events of the session as not untrue, though somewhat un-
favourably coloured and not quite impartiaL With better
judgment on the part of ministers a good Reform Bill
could have been carried, and by a good Reform Bill the
Time understands a bill including at least as large an
extension of the suffrage as Lord Russell's measure
proposed. _ _

The Daily Pens twits the Times with the shallowness of
its tactics in dealing with reform—the last artifice being to
import from America with sympathy an account of trans-
actions in oonnexion with the public) feeling which can be
proved from its own columns to be purely and calumniously
false. Does the Timm adhere to its own reportof thereform
meetings, and to its comments upon them, written when
the occurrences were fresh ? or does it accept the later
version which it has imported from America ? Of course,
it prefers its own veracity to that of the anonymous
correspondent of its New York namesake. But, then,
why does it not refute and rebuke the gross
and glaring untruths which it cites ? Why hold
up as evidence of American opinion the declarations of a
writer who is plainly not to be trusted as to the plainest
and most notorious matter, of fact? We are quite ready
to admitthat there is anti-democratic feeling in the United
States, and we believe with our contemporary that the
writer of the letter quoted is a sample of the class of
Americans among whom it prevails. If so, they may be
observant and intelligent, but they are also unscrupulous
and untruthful.

Mr. Roebuck's speech meets with the approval of the
Post and the Herald, both of which journals dwell on what
they consider the hon. gentleman's straightforwardness and
pluck.

The Telegraph sees abundant proof in Mr. Gladstone's
language at Salisbury that the liberal party in the house
are prepared to renew their efforts in the approaching
session with an earnestneu proportioned to the time
already lost and to the check lately encountered. It is,
then, the interest of the great body of reformers through'
out the country to strengthen the hands of their chiefs in
every legitimate way. More than all, let it be their duty
so to aid their unenfranchised countrymen as to take the
duty of agitation out of their exclusive care, and render
the movement of national dimensions. Let not the
working classes feel that they are pariahs, left to fight the
battle alone.

Mr. Roebuck the Telegraph describes as a decrepit po-
litical dandy—an obsolete relic of a past which had much
promise, but which has been evoly year approaching more
and more nearly to antiquated imbecility. And it is be-
coming time to formally submit his name for the judg-
ment of the party whose cause he does his best to betray.

THE POLICE COURT&

GUILDHALL.

John Keen, a porter, residing at 83, St. John's-street,
Clerkenwell, was placed at the bar before Alderman Stone,
charged with stealing a number of writing desks and other
property belonging to his employer ; and Charles Porter,
of 18, St. John9•lane, Clerkenwell, was charged with re-
ceiving the same, well knowing them to have been stolen.
William George Howard said he assisted his father in
his business at 69, Barbican. The prisoner Keen had been
in their employ for the last nine or ten years. About a
quarter past eight o'clock on the previous evening he
missed a writing-desk off one of the shelves, and spoke to
his father about it. _ _ .

Mr. Howard said that in consequence of what his son
said he went into the yard, and told the prisoner Keen to
bring from the stable the case or desk be bad just taken
out of the warehouse, and he brought forward the writing
desk produced. Witness sent for a constable, and gave
him into custody. The other writing-desks produced by
the officer were his property. He bad missed them from
the shelves in the warehouse, amid ey had not been sold.
Mr. John Henry Elliott said he was a toy dealer, in
Brompton-row. On the Tuesday of last week he pur-
chased from Porter two cases containing writing materials.
He had bought goods from the prisoner previously. He
gave 7s. for the two cases. He asked the prisoner if he
was the master of them, and he said he was not, but that
he had them from the maker to sell for him. He asked
Porter how it was the maker did not bring them himself,
and he said that he only served wholesale houses, and if it
were known that he served retail houses the wholesale
houses would not like it. He said be could supply witness
with those desks at 425. per dozen at any time. From his
knowledge of thevalue of the desks he communicated with
Mr. Howard, as he knew he sold desks of that descrip-
tion. His reason for communicating with Mr. Howard
was that he knew the desks were worth more money. His
suspicions being excited, he asked Porter for his address,
in case, as he said, of requiring more goods. He sent pri-
soner a further order for some goods at the same price,
which he did by Mr. Howard's direction. He had not re-
ceived them yet, as there had not been time.
The prisoners were remanded.

MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS.

The Daily News refers to the official reports of the New
Orleans riots in further illustration of the fact that Pre-
sident Johnson's policy towards the South has utterly
failed to give security to the freedman, protection to
Northern citizens, or liberty of speech and the press in the
Southern cities. From every side come tales of violence
and wrong, of which this New Orleans business is but •
worse example on a larger scale.
The Times protests against the proceedings at the na.
tional Eisteddfod and the whole attempt to preserve the
Welsh language as one of the moat mischievous and selfish
pieces of sentimentalism which could possibly be perpe-
trated. The Welsh language is the curse of Wales. Mr.
Mathew Arnold is described as talking arrant nonsense on
the subject.
The Star points out the muddle into which Mr. Ruskin
has worked himself in asserting, as he bas done, that the
duty of the governorof a colony is to do what law cannot do,
and to either hang or not, just as he pleases, without any
law being required in the case. Mr. Eyre, says the Star, is in-
deed unhappy in his English friends. They seem deter
mined to make his cause batefal beyond measure by doing
their best to render it identical with the most odious prin.
ciples and practices which ever brought ruin upon un-
scrupulous and sanguinary nations.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(Before Mr. Bodkin, Assistant-Judge.)
Philippe Rewsont, 23, a Frenchman, was indicted for
stealing a cash-box, a pair of gold sleeve links, three shirts,
end other articles, 1001., the property of Augustus
Wilkie, in a dwelling-house. There were other indict-
ments of a similar nature against bim.
Mr. Platt prosecuted Mr. Brinley defended the

prisoner.
Although only four oases were sent for trial, from the
Marylebone Police-court, there were about twenty ready
to be preferred against him, and it was ascertained that
hundreds of pounds would be required to cover the
prisoner's robberies. The modus operandi was precisely
the same in each case, and was most successfully carried
out. The prisoner went to houses where lodgings were
announced to be let, and, having looked at them, ex-
pressed his satisfaction with the arrangements and ancom.
modation, decided at once upon taking them, and by way of
securing them he wished to pay a week's rent in advance.
This offer in every case took the persons letting the lodg-
ings off their guard, and they did not take the usual course
of making inquiries as to his reference, but accepted him
as a tenant of furnished lodgings at once. The prisoner
having got possession of the premisee did not remain
n ig more
than one night st each place, but in the course of the ht,
having secured everything valuable he could lay his hands
upon, decamped the next morning to dispose of the
property, and then to seek out a fresh victim for
plunder.
Mr. Brinley having made a short address for the
defence,
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
Mr. Platt said these robberies had been carried on to a
very great extent, and it was believed, from the descrip-
tion given of the prisoner to the police, that he was one
of a gang who had been engaged in other robberies.
The Assistant-Judge sentenced the prisoner to be kept
in penal servitude for five year+.

PRUSSIA.

81CRLIN, Our. 11, EVIWING.
The semi-official North German Gazette, of this
evening, contains an article commenting upon cer-
tain disquieting rumours of alleged military
measures, published yesterday by the Bank and
Commercial Journal. The article says :—" In
political circles nothing whatever is known with
regard to the measures in question, and there is
absolutely nothing in the political relations of
Prussia with other Powers which could render
their adoption necessary."

The North German Gazette alio, alluding to an
announcement recently published by the Vienna
press, that the English ambassador at Berlin had
made representations to the Prussian government
relative to the private fortune of King George of
Hanover, says : "So far as we are informed, the
only foundation that exists for this announcement
is that the English minister had entered into an
incidental diplomatic conversation on the subject."

reply, received at Berlin by telegraph, announces
that the necessary steps have been taken for carry-
ing out the guarantee contained in the treaty of
peace, that no impediment should be offered by the
Austrian authorities to the return of the members
of the legion to their homes.

TEE LANIRANDE CASE.

The above ease, the Daily News observes, not only illus-
trates a danger which those who opposed the Extradition
Bill of last session considered would arise from
the exigency of foreign governments, but brings
forward another which is more serious, because
more insidious and constant, arising from the in.
Wads and habits of the inferior, and sometimes also
it mint be sail of the superior agents of the law. The
Daily News then, in illustration of this, proceeds to men•
tion the leading persons engaged in the clandestine re-
moval of M. Lamirande, the high rank which some of
them occupied, and their ability and readiness to avail
themselves of the very highest agencies in the State to
carry out their unlawful design. We are now in a position
to see how an accused person may be got out of the
British dominions and be delivered over to a foreign go-
' vernment contrary to law and right, and contrary even to
the intentions of those by whose power and autho-
rity he is surrendered. After all the illegality in
the colony, it was, nevertheless, perfectly safe, owing to
the suddenness of the step and the want at the moment
of legal evidence, to bring Lamirande to England and carry
him from Liverpool to Dover. We do not say, adds the
Deily News, that the operation of extradition treaties may
not be made consistent with oar ancient ideas of liberty
and justice ; but we do say that, after an experience like
this, it is incumbent on the advocates of such treaties to
show that there is no radical incompatibility between the
two ; for =has that can be done, we must, however re.
luetamtly, renounce the advantage of agreements with
foreign states for the mutual surrender of criminals, and
fall back upon our own resources as a law-luring sad law.

THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAT._

Describing the London, Chatham, and Dover
Railway Company as possessing an epic character
from the union which culminates in it of all the
characteristics of railway experience, and sketching the
circumstances under which the line was projected and
made, the Tones proceeds to remark that, whatever
extenuating circumstances there may be for much that has
been done, there can be no excuse for a purely ficti_
thane and illusory compliance with parlia-uentary
regulations, and for borrowing money from the con-
fiding public upon the pretence of work done that
bad not even been touched, and of shares taken and paid
up that existed only in imagination. There can be no
excuse for a process which has inflicted ruin on innocent
people to the amount of several millions of pounds,
plundering not only shareholders, who might lay in their
account for some risk, but even those who thought they
were lending sums of money to be repaid, after a stated
term, to the very farthing. Parliament, which conceded
lending powers and confined them within cautious limits,
is now bound to defend itself. When it provided a public
audit, it could not intend one that should exclude from
view enormous loan transactions represented by papers in
the private desk of the secretalf. The committee of in-
vestigation has done its work very tenderly, and has ab-
stained even from comment when it was possible to do so ;
but the facts elicited speak for themselves, and cannot
but have their true character assigned to them in the
Court of Chancery.
The Telegraph cannot accept the reply of the directors
, as a sufficient answer to the charges which relate to the
issue and creation of capital, and to the raising of money
on debentures when the requirements of the act of parlia-
ment had not been fulfilled. Hail the facts now revealed
been known at the time the debentures were issued ; bad
people been aware that the responsible proprietary were
only the firm of Peto, Betts, and Crampton, and that
the shares, so far from being half paid up, did
not represent cash deposited, but only work done,
or to be done, is it to be imagined that they would have
advanced their money? Their reply would have been
that in reality there was no security at all.

SERIOUS COLLISION BETWEEN A PASSENGER
AND GOODS TRAIN ON THE GREAT NORTH-
ERN RAILWAY.

A collision, which although serious in character, K.
was unattended with any more serious result than injuries :tt:
to limb and destruction of property, took place at the
Hitchin Junction on the Great Northern Railway last 8,
evening. A telegram was received at King's-eress, at about as,
5.30, stating that a goods train, which ought to have St.
through the Hitchin Junction, did not do so, 10
rtatied came to a stand, and shortly afterwards the 10
through passenger train from the north, which was to have 2,1
drawn up in the station, dashed into it and caused a corn- to
piste block of both lieu. It was then found that a num- st,
her of the passengers were injured. Strange to say very
few of the passenger carriages were much damaged, and the 51
engine was not even scratched, but a portion of the goods r,
train was smashed to atoms. Upon the receipt of the "4
telegram at King's-cross immediate steps were st
taken to afford relief to the sufferers by the ac- 103
ardent, and Mr. Kirk, surgeon, of Euston-road, and St
his assistant, who were cn the platform at the time, et
promptly prepared to attend to their injuries. AU the
passengers, whether injured or not, except one, were s 5
brought to town the same night, and conveyed to their st
houses, the bodily injuries, in the majority of eases, being it
comparatively trifling. One unfortunate lady, however, 10
was so severely cut about the head and face that she could Si
not be sent to town, and she was located at the hotel :14
nearest the scene of the accident. Both Sues have now so
been cleared, and the traffic is proceeding as usual. The al
railway officials are unable as yet to account for the atop- Si
ping of the goods train, but an official inquiry is now pro- it
ceed'og. it
