THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.

William Doaie, a sergeant in the Royal Artillery, sta-
tioned at Woolwich, was yesterday brought before Alder-
man Lusk (who sat for the Lord Mayor), in custody of
Bull, one of the City detectives, under the following •
rather extraordinary circumstances :
The officer stated that on Wednesday evening the pri-
soner came to the principal office in the Old Jewry, and
said that he wished to deliver himself up on a charge of
fraudulent bankruptcy. He was asked the particulars, and
he stated that he and his brother bad carried on business as
watchmakers and jewellers at Glasgow, under the firm of
W. and G. Bobbie, and that he had absconded in Novem-
ber, 1861, taking with him 3,0001., the property of
his creditors. He said that he went to Australia. where
he lost or spent the whole of the money, and then re-
turned to England, and enlisted in the Royal Artillery.
He was very soon promoted to a sergeant, but he had not
had any peace of mind, and he wished to deliver himself
up to justice. Mr. Hamilton, the chief offieer of the
detective police immediately telegraphed to Glasgow,
stating what had occurred, and an answer had been re-
ceived that an officer from Glasgow would be in London on
Friday, with &warrant for the apprehension of the prisoner.
A copy of the Police Gazette of November, 1861, which
contained a notification of the prisoner having absconded
from Glasgow, was put in.
The prisoner was remanded.

WESTMINSTER.

Mr. Arnold yesterday gave his decision upon an applies-
tion made a few days ago by Mr. John Clem, jun., of
Liverpool, against Mr. John Scott Russell, the eminent
shipbuilder, for a summons for perjury, alleged to have
been committed by him in the Court of Queen's Bench,
where Mr. Clare, who had patented a new mode of ship-
building, brought an action against the government for an
infringement of that patent in the construction of the
Warrior, on which occasion Mr. Russell swore that ships
had been ordinarily constructed for years in the same style
as the Warrior, which was built in 1859, and he had him-
self built six before it, the particularised one, which he
believed he had built in 1850 (Her Majesty), and produced
a drawing of the vessel exactly on the same princi-
ple as the Warrior, which testimony was laid to be untrue,
as Mr. Clare had examined the ship Her Majesty, and
found that she was not built on the same principle as the
Warrior. On the occasion of the application W. Arnold
observed that it was unlikely Mr. Russell would be guilty
of the offence imputed to him, and that, relying upon
his memory, he must have been speaking of some other
vessel than Her Majesty, and doubted whether, upon the
facts as stated by Mr. Poland on behalf of Mr. Clare, the
latter gentleman could substantiate • case. Mr. Arnold
now repeated these remarks, and said he was very re-
luctant to grant • summons, as, in the absence of any
interested motive, it was unlikely that a gentleman in
Mr. Russell's position would wilfully invent such a false-
hood; he had probably made some error with
regard 'to the venal, and if he had built any one
vessel on the mime plan as that patented by Mr. Clare, it
was probable'that the grand jury would ignore the bill if
the case were sent before them. He repeated that be
doubted whether there was any ease against Mr. Russell ;
but the question was one of great moment to Mr. Clare,
and a summons might issue, if he would undertake that
upon the hearing of the summons, in the event of the
magistrate feeling satisfied in his own mind that there was
no ease to send before • j ? and refusing to commit, he
(Mr. Clare) wouldnot avail himself of the Vexatious Indict-
ment Act to ask the magistrate to bind him over to prefer
an indictment for perjury against Mr. Russell
Mr. Poland, having consulted with his client, maid be
would give the undertaking required, and be perfectly con-
tent to abide by the decision which, after a due hearing of
the case, the magistrate should arrive at.
The mamma wee then granted.

VENETIA.

MILAN, MAT 24.

Intelligence from Venetia states that the Aus-
trian military authorities in that province have re-
ceived instructions to carry out with rigour the
recent order of General Toggenburg, commandant
of Venice, which declared liable to the penalty of
death all Venetians emigrating to take service in
the Italian army, and all persons aiding them in
1 such emigration.

A proclamation will shortly be issued ordering
private individuals to deliver up all arms and am-
munition in their possession to the public authori-
ties, and declaring that all persons who do not
comply with this order will be punished with all
the rigour of martial law. This step is considered
to be the prelude to the proclamation of a state of
siege.

LYCEUM.

Last night Mr. Fechter revived the Corsican Brodurs
at the Lyceum, still keeping to the French version, ex.
eluding the famous sliding-trap, and making very
little use of that popular ghost melody which, we
believe, was composed for the drama by Mr. StoepeL
In dramatic matters our first impressions are gene-
rally those which govern our taste, and we must
own to something more than a sneaking kindness for
the old machinery and the old music. On the other
hand, however, we must give Mr. Fechter the utmost
credit for the splendour and completeness with which he
has mounted the piece, sad we must particularly praise
Mr. T. Grieve for the calm beauty of a winter scene in the
forest of Fontainbleau. The interior of the Grand Opera
during a masked ball is a bold and dashing picture, but
painted figures in the boxes never did and never will har-
monise properly with live dancers on the stage.
The strength of Mr. Fechter's performance of the two
Corsicans is shown most in the third and fourth
acts—the third act, in which he is the gay
and superstitious young hunter, and the fourth act, in
which he seeks revenge for his brother's death with con-
centrated earnestness. The Chateau Renaud is Mr. G.
Jordan, who wants repose for the part—a thoroughly arti-
ficial one ; and Mr. Hermann Vezin, Mr. Emery, and Mr.
H. Widdicomb are of great service to the piece—the first
as a gentlemanly second, Baron Mongiron, the others as
the two brawling Corsicans, Orlando and Colonna. Mrs.
Taman represents the Countess dei Franchi, and Miss
Benrade is a spirited Emelie de Il'Esparre. The drama is
very weak in female character, but the clearness and in-
terest of the story are enough to account for its great and
enduring popularity.

A posthumous play of the late Mr. Sheridan

Of the various performers, including a new actor, Mr.
Zdward Fletcher, who performed a villanous innkeeper,
it is not necessary to say anything, except to tender our
hearty commiseration to them, compelled as they are,
while speaking the somewhat inverted style of blank verse
of the play, to endeavour to look as if they really had faith
in the treacherous inn, and the pistols and daggers, and
poisoned bottles and dark lanterns with which the piece
though short abounds.

DEVONPORT ELECTION.

The nomination of candidates to fill the vacancy
in the representation of the borough caused by the un-
seating of Mr. W. Busfield Ferrand and Mr. John Flem-
ing on petition took place yesterday at the hustings
i erected n front of the Town-ball. Mr. R. C. SMITH, the
mayor, as returning officer, presided. The four candidates
were accompanied on the hustings by a very large number
of their friends. The crowd in front of the hustings was
very great. There was mush excitement, but order was
maintained. Mr. Ferrand, lately unseated for the borough,
was present.
Mr. J. BEER, the chairman of the conservative party,
nominated the Hon. C. R. Abbott as a fit and proper per-
son to represent the borough in parliament.
This was seconded by Dr. Row.
Mr. J. C. THIERENS nominated Mr. Haiku, and was
seconded by Mr. Jou..
Mr. J. W. W. Rrnsit, the chairman of the liberal party,
nominated Lord Eliot as a fit and proper person to repre-
sent the borough of Devonport in parliament. This was
seconded by Mr. SHELL.
Mr. R. J. LAITY nominated Mr. Montague Chamber',
Q.C. ; and was seconded by Mr. JOSEPH MAT.
The show of hands was in favour of the conservative
candidates.

TAN DANURI ‘N PRINCTPALTTIF.S.

Of all possible interventions, the Dai72, Nei, thinks a
Turkish intervention in Moldo-Wallachia would be the
worst. It would be very likely to prove the signal for a
thing in Semis and other Christian lands tributary to the
Porte, and bring on a counter-int?rvention which might
reopen the whole Eastern question. Whatever else
happened, Turkey would go down ut such a conflict never
to rise again. In assuming the dignity to which he has
been elected, Prince Charles of Hohenzollern sets at
naught the decision of the European Conference, which it
may be suspected consulted its own convenience rather
than the interests of those most concerned when it re-
peated the prohibition to elect a foreign prince. The
Daily News can only hope that Prince Charles may be I
able to unite the people now distracted by faction, and
that he will be able to conciliate the good will of foreign
governments, so that the present difficulties of Europa
nay not be aggravated by a revival of the Eastern
question.
The Daily Telegraph, assuming that the selection of
Prince Charles is due to foreign influence, thinks it not
unfair to suppose that Russia and Prussia have sup-
ported his nomination. If Turkey disputes the choice,
disturbances are almost certain to arise, which would
afford Russia an excuse for marching her armies across
the Pruth, with infinitely less peril of encountering Euro-
pean resistance than existed in the Crimean days. If, on
the other hand, the Porte should consent to acknowledge
the Hohenzollern Prince as Hospodar of the Danubian
Duchies, another and most important step would have
been taken towards the final detachment of these pro-
vinces from the Ottoman Empire. The Pk/rap/I sug-
gests that under these circumstances Austria might
be induced to cede Venetia in exchange for these
Principalities, though it confesses that such a proposi-
tion would be vehemently opposed by Russia. The diffi-
culty is one belonging to a clams which a congress should
be competent to solve.

THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.

The following is the text of a note addressed by
the plenipotentiaries of Great Britain, Austria,
France, Prussia, Russia, and Italy, now in confe-
rence at Paris, upon the Danubian Principalities
question, to the agents and consuls of their respec-
tive governments at Bucharest

Paris, May 2.

Sir,—The conference baying learnt the events that have
just taken place in the Principalities, has considered it
necessary to make the declaration annexed to this despatch
—a declaration of which you are charged to forward •
copy to the provisional government of Bucharest.
The desire of the conference is to leave to the united
Principalities all the liberty of action compatible with the
international engagements it is called upon to make re-
spected.
The conference prefers to believe that the provisional go-
vernment and the populations will understand the goodwill
of its intentions towards them, and that the Assembly will
conform its acts to the sense of the declaration.
The declaration prescribes the line of conduct the consuls
have to follow, and the conference does not doubt the zeal
that you, conjointly with your colleagues, will employ in
watching over the execution of the decision it brings to
your knowledge.
You will be good enough to request the provisional
government to insert in the official journal the text of the
annexed document, and to acquaint me by telegraph with
the fact of its publication.
London, England, 1866-05-22

DECLARATION.

The provisional government of Bucharest, in originating
by a recent popular vote, the nomination of a forcign
Prince, has contravened the convention of August 19,
1858, which, in Art. 12, leaves the election of a hospodar
to the Assembly.
The Conference decides, referring to its resolution of the
4th of that month, that the care of settling the question of
the maintenance of the union should be left to the As-
sembly now about to meet. If the majority either of
Moldavian or Wallachian deputies should demand, either
party would be entitled to vote separately. In ease the
majority, either Moldavian or Wallachian, should pronounce
against the union, this vote would entail the separation of
the two Principalities.
This question being settled, the Assembly will proceed to
elect a hospodar, the choice of whom, by the terms of Art.
13 of the convention, must only fall upon a native.
The consuls are desired to watch by common agreement
over the free issue of votes, and to notify immediately to
the Conference any attack upon that liberty.

England, and he arrived in New South Wales with the
102nd Regiment of Foot in 17:•:, in the ship Surprise, the
first of the fleet that brought convicts to Botany Bay. He
was pensioned in 1815, and was appointed chief constable
of Launceston, in Tasmania, inlBlB. He afterwards became
an extensive and wealthy farmer.
FERDINAND BLIND AND COUNT BISMARCK.—
The Vosnache-Zeitung, a moderate liberal paper of Berlin,
states that the exasperation against the Prussian govern-
ment is unbounded in Wurtemberg, and that deep hatred
of Count Bismarck fills all hearts. Among the soldiers in
the south an uncontrollable spirit manifests itself, and
fears are expressed lest the cabinet-war meditated by Bis-
marck should end in a German civil war. " The photo-
graph of Ferdinand Blind," mays the letter in the rossische,
"is exhibited in all the shop windows of Stuttgart,
wreathed with immortelles; and people loudly declare him
to be a second William Tel." From another source it is
stated that the Landwehr men of Sigmaringen who are
called out for service in the Prussian army kissed the
portrait when marching through the streets, and gave
enthusiastic cheers, amidst team, in honour of the
deceased."

METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.

Mr. B. HOPE said it would begreatly to the convenience
of the house if some member of the government would
state when certain questions referring to the public build-
nip of the metropolis would be proceeded with. Questions
relating to the National Gallery, Burlington-house, kc.,
ought to be sifted and fairly discussed, and not as hereto-
fore made a shuttlecock between one government and
another.
Mr. E. C. EGERTON said that the course which the
government intended to take would be stated on Monday
neat.

THF AILIIINTIt. E.

Hoping that the negotiations for the armistice may be
concluded before the combatants have time to proceed to
extremities, the Times observes that in effecting a settle-
ment Nery little uneasiness would arise on the score of
Italy, for the Italians mast be aware that Venetia was
not to be taken by force of arms, and that it is doubtful
whether even Napoleon could have done it for them. The
Emperor Francis Joseph, in not treating with them
directly, was probably actuated by the consideration that
they were bound by the terms of their Prussian
eanvention, and the straits to which he was reduced
a emitted of no delay. Prussia may possibly
renounce all idea of territorial aggrandisement,
but she will not give up her scheme of a national parlia-
ment. Were the upshot of this appeal to be the estab-
lishment of the supremacy of Prussia it would certainly be
unwise for the neutrals to interfere with it. It is greatly
to be desired that with respect to Genuan, no less than
Italian affairs, the Emperor Napoleon should allow him-
self to be influenced by what be calls " Dr lovique des
The Post does not see why the Italians should complain
if they get Venetia without paying for it. Their work
will be done when the transfer has been completed, and
it is not for them to enter into German entanglements.
They may, if they please, believe they are indebted to the
Prussian needle-gun, but those who have watched the pro-
gress of these events, looked under their surface, and
traced them to their source, will be of opinion that Italy
has succeeded upon higher inspiration, and, we will hope,
in accordance with a nobler ambition.
The Herald thinks it clear that half the military force
at the disposal of Austria is amply sufficient to hold the
Italians in cheek. But while Austria thus holds her hands
it is unfair that Prussia should continue to use the oppor-
tunity afforded her by this pause in negotiations to drive
her alversary further and further back upon Vienna. The
Italian demand to be put in possession of two of the for-
tresses in at once so foolish and so insolent that it is

Although there was a strong muster at the rooms to-day, btisi-

market. For the Goodwood Stakes the first favourite was the
only horse backed for anything like money ; 3 to 1 was accepted
freely, and finally an offer to take " three ponies" felled to
elicit a response. Medea colt, who up to now had been second
favourite, exhibited unhealthy symptoms, the odds of 10 to 1
being shouted at the close from several quarter. La Fortune,

too good or not good enough to be taken. For the Goodwood

THE CESSION OF VENETIA.

Mr. D. GRIFFITH. said that the long-prolonged inter-
regnum was a very serious detriment to the public, because
events of immeme importance were row pessing on the
continent with eitreine rapidity. It was known that after
the dis,istrous engagement the other day a proposition was
made by Austria to the French goverment, relating to a
certain cession of a part of Venetia. It was solely on
accuent of the extraordinary nature of that proceeding
that he ventured to warn the housa and the public as to
possible consequences which might ensue. In this case
one of the three belligerent governments had handed
over to another government a province which it
was to dispose of to one of those three belli.
gerent governments ; anal the dii;culty be felt was
that some decision might inadvertently be come to on the
part of our Foreign-oflice before the opinion of timt house
and the country• had an opportumty of being expressed in
the matter. The house had had experience of similar
transactions, but on a former occasion, when Lombardy
was given over to France, a compensation was mquired.
France was then a belligerent, but iu this case Fi.hee was
only a spectator. In this case a cession was first of all
made to France, and she might use that position so as to
secure—in the political slang of the day--a material gua-
rantee by which she might obtain any other advantage
which appeared to her desirable on behalf of her empire.
If we allowed the unconditional cession of Venetia to
France to be carried out, we could not prevent the transfer
of Sardinia to France as compensation to her for handing
over Venetia to Italy.

THAMES NAVIGATION BILL.
After some unavailing opposition from Mr. ATIITON, the
house went into committee on the Thames Navigation BM,
and agreed to the fiat five clauses.
The Revising Barristers' Qualifications Bill also paned
through committee.
The other business on the paper was disposed of, and
the Louse adjourned at a quarter past 7 o'clock.

BTAYDOED.

The two members for Stamford, having received
appointments under Lord Derby's administration, will
present themselves for re-election on Thursday next.

NORTH DEVON.

Sir Stafford Northoote having accepted the office
of Preaident of the Board of Trade will seek re-election as
member for North Devon. The election will take plaoe on
Saturday next at Southmolton. Sir Stafford has issued an
address, in which he says, " Having been among you so
lately, and looking forward to so early an opportunity of
meeting you again, I need not at present enter upon a
discussion of the political situation of the country, either as
regards its foreign relations or its domestic affairs. Lord
Derby has been called upon to take office under circum-
stances of much difficulty, and I feel sure that there will
be a general disposition on the part of the country to allow
the new administration to mature the measures which it
will be their duty to propose, and to give them a fair con-
sideration when they are brought forward."

Mr. Charles Du Cane has issued the following
address to the electors of the northern division of Essex,
dated 54, Queen's-gate-terrace, W., July 9, 1886:
" Having accepted the office of junior lord of the Admi-
ralty in Lord Derby's government, it becomes necessary
for me to seek at your hands a renewal of the trust you
have already for three successive parliaments reposed in
me. Having now had the honour of representing you for
nine years I feel that you will not look for a lengthened
exposition of my politiml principles on the present occa-
sion. The present administration, succeeding to the
direction of affairs at a most momentous crisis, will, I am
convinced, receive at the hands of the country that fair
trial to which it is eminently entitled. And I believe
that in accepting office under Lord Derby, I am joining a
government which will do its utmost to maintain peace
abroad and assist at home the cause of constitutional pro-
gress."
