THE WEATHER AND CRIME.

hfr. Barker took his seat on the bench at half-put 10,
w which time there were only one applicant and six night
charges—one,from the E division, of felony, and the
others from omerstown and Kingsland, of drunk and
slumnlerly. The great falling off in the drunken cues
is attributed by the force to the inclement state of the
weather. The charges were taken at a quarter to 11.

THE SNOW IN THE STREETS.-OUR MUNICIPAL AUTHORITIES.

The Times describes our metropolitan authorities as
waking up yesterday morning in • state of aa blank sato.
nishmant and utter helplessness as if they bad been the
ministers of the King of Siam and had lived in the Siamese
capital, as, indeed, they deser►e to do. The consequence
was that the snow had its own way with us, and inflicted
upon us all day long the miseries and the damage with
which this Siamese indifference has made us familiar. The
amount of private Inconvenience, to say nothing of the in-
terruption of business, was incalculable, and yet all this
might have been easily avoided. Oa the lst of
January more than 21,000 able-bodied paupers re-
ceived relief because they were doing nothing,
and 4,000 were actually within the walls of the work-
houses. What might not have been effected before noon
yesterday by the labour of 4,000 adult able-bodied men?
If it were known that on a fall of snow certain authorities
would at once employ all the labour they could find
for the purpose of clearing the streets, can anybody
doubt that they would be instantly besieged by crowds
of hungry applicants for work? In fact, if it were
thus treated, a fall of snow in the midst of winter
would be almost a boon to the poor. As to carrying
the snow away when swept together, for what pur-
pose does there exist • perfect army of con-
tractors' carte, if not to clear the streets? It
is the collapse of • rotten municipal organisation. There
is not a capital in Europe—we might almost say in the
world—in which such • relapse into barbarism would be
tolerated. St. Petersburg has • great deal more snow than
London ; yet if • fail of .now occurs during the night in
the Rusaian capital, however heavy it may be, before the
inhabitants have occasion to go about in the morning the
pavement is as smooth and the road as passable as it was
the day before. If the scandal is not promptly removed,
there is not an official, from the head of the government
depsi talent whose business it is to look after the metro-
polis, down through the Board of Works, the corporation,
and the other obsolete entities of the metropolis, to the
dullest guardian or the meanest vestryman, who ought not
to be ashamed to show his face in public.
The Post reminds its readers of the consequences which
result to the poor from the severe weather, and urges
well-to-do people to distribute at such a season woollen
and cotton fabrics, firing, and worn articles of household
use. In such a way many helpless and destitute people
may be enabled to pass through the trying ordeal of the
season.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE EXPRESS.

gilt —Allow me to contradict a statement which
appeared in your last night's impression respecting the late
fire at the Crystal Palace, the conjectured cause being
that spontaneous combustion might have taken place
owing to there being a large beehive filled with
straw in that quarter of the buildcrig. Now, air,
las proprietor of that hive which was used by
me for an exhibition of the industrious working bees on
the humane principle, I can say that the straw therein
was little or none, as my hives are principally mahm
gany and glass, in order to fully illustrate and show
the bees in full working order, and their natural loyalty
towards the queen bee, the mother of the whole
hive. Permit me to say in justice to myself that
every precaution had been taken ; the gas fittings
were examined and approved by the authorities,
and fire brigade on the staff of the establishment ; there-
fore it ts entirely erroneous to imagine that my articles in
my portion eould have given rise to the supposition that
spontaneous combustion was the cause. I have only lately
removed from the Machinery to the Tropical Department
in order to give my bees the benefit of the extra heat. Not
being insured I am a great loser by this sad disaster, not
only my hives but my books, in which are orders received
from several persons for the ensuing seams, with whose
names and address now I am entirely unacquainted.
Trusting to your usual liberality in regard to fair play to
insert this, I am, ke., JOE. MARRIOTT.

SPAIN.

The Tines gives a narrative of recent events in Spain
up to the late dispersion of the deputies and the arrest of
Serrano, which incident shows a disposition on the part of
the Queen's Council to shrink from no extremities. But
whatever sympathies one may feel for the Spanish people,
it is, the Tines believes, hardly possible to expect any
good to come out of Spain. The nation has for the last score
of piers altogether abdicated its dignity ; it has renounced
its birthright, and lost all power of self-government.
Whatever fault may be found with Isabella I/., she is
very Spanish, very catholic. It was only yesterday that
the Spanish government attained such a degree of tolera-
tion as to allow foreign Jews to purchase • burial ground,
though on condition that it should be hidden by high
walls, that it should have no chapel, and that no religious
service whatever should ever be celebrated within its pre-
cincts. It is by such measures as these the Queen wins
Spanish hearts.
There seems now nothing left, says the Daily News, for
the Spanish government to do, in order to perfect its title
to the hatred and contempt of the country. A more de-
grading state of things it is impossible to conceive. The
farce of dissolving the Cortes and convoking a new
chamber can deceive no one. The government ac-
knowledges no rule but its own convenience, and
is not likely to tolerate liberal deputies in the
capital when it cannot endure the presence of MM.
Rios y Roses and Salaverria. Fur the present •
despotic power, of an intensity which would satisfy even
Mr. Carlyle, is rampant, and apparently unassailable. It
is not easy indeed to see whence deliverance is to come.
It is to be remembered, however, that deliverance has
come under circumstances equally unpropitious ; hours as

dark s this have immediately preceded the dawn. It can
hardly be that the spirited Spanish nation has resigned it-
self to lie prostrate at the feet of a profligate woman whose
court is shunned by all that is pure and honest in the
country, and who has surrendered the laws she was bound
to protect to a brutal soldier and an ignorant monk.

PRLTSBIA.

BERLIN, JAN. 2.

The Crown Prince presented to-day to the King,
in the name of the army, the testimonial in honour
of his Majesty's military jubilee. His Royal High-
ness concluded the speech delivered by him on the
occasion as follows :—" May God, who led your
Majesty victoriously out of the arduous campaign
of last year, grant you yet many long years of
peaceful government."
The semi-official Provincial Correspondence of
this evening says :—" The celebration of the
military jubilee of the King is a guarantee that
the great national work will be as vigorously pro-
secuted in the future as it has been gloriously
carried on in the past."

THE NORTH GERMAN CONSTITUTION.
BERLIN, JAN. 2.
_ _ _

The draft of the constitution for the North Ger-
man Confederation makes the distribution of votes
in the plenum of the old Frankfort Diet the basis
of the system of voting in the Federal Council
which is to be attached to the North German par-
liament.

It is proposed to exclude government func-
tionaries not from the future Diet of the Confede-
ration (Reichstag), but only from the parliament
which is about to assemble.

MADRID, JAN. 2.

Marshal Serrano has been arrested.

GREECE.

ATHENS, Dec. 31.

The resignation of the Bulgaria Ministry is
understood to have been caused by the election of
Deputy Crestenites, a member of the opposition,
to the presidency of the Chamber.

The programme of the new Ministry declares
that they intend to pursue a policy of moderation
on the ground that Greece requires the preserve_
tion of public order for the development of her re-
sources. The Ministry is not a party to the rising
in Crete, and does not wish to see disturbances in
Turkey. The occurrence of such disturbances is in
no way caused by the Greek Government. Greece,
notwithstanding her sympathy with the Candiotes,
will respect the principle of neutrality towards
Turkey.

famine-stricken districts in Bengal are reported to
be abundant. Trade is beginning to revive.
The committee appointed to inquire into the
circumstances attending the death of the Bishop of
Calcutta have reported to the government. The
blame is mainly thrown on the commander of the
steamer Koel, who has been relieved of his com-
mand.

Sir Bartle Frere has not quite recovered from
the accident which happened to him at Kandallah,
by his horse falling upon him. His journey to
Scinde is postponed in consequence. He leaves
for England in February.

eA,F.

The question in this caseWaswhetber a Mr. Wilkinson
was liable to be put on the list of contributories for 50
shares in the company It appeared that Mr. Wilkinson
was one of the original founders of the company, and had
acted as solicitor, and signed the memorandum and articles
of association. The articles bad been altered at some
time or other, and Mr. Wilkinson contended that they had
been altered after he signed them ; and therefore he was
released from his liability.
Mr. Baggallay, Q.C., and Mr. Lawson appeared for the
official liquidator of the company. Mr. Jessel, Q.C., and
Mr. Cracknall were for Mr. Wilkinson.
Lord Romilly, having considered the evidence in the
case which bad peen submitted to him, said he thought
the preponderance of it was in favour of the contention
that the alteration in the articles was made before Mr.
Wilkinson signed them, and he must therefore be held
liable for the shares in question. He would not make him
pay any costs, but he could not give him any.

The case was accordingly adjourned.

COURT OF PROBATE.—May 3.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
WITH AND SMITH T. TEBBITT AND OTHERS.

After our report left yesterday, the examination of
Mrs. Sarah Ann Cooke was continued. She said that in
1851, when she was expecting to be confined, the testatrix
took her into her bedroom, and gave her some baby linen
which she had by her. In 1857 she told witness that she
had better rejoin her husband, and she never saw the
testatrix again.
Other evidence of a similar character was also given, but
it related chiefly to a rather remote perimL
Samuel Gardner, a servant, however, brought it down
to 1862; and deposed that his mistress had talked to him
in the manner already described. Quoting the lines of
Pope—

And other planets 'etrete other suns—.
she said that what the poet had learned from study bad
been revealed to her in a moment. The witness, in cross-
' examination, said he was " a Christian," and declined to
accept any further definition of his religion. Had re-
monstrated with his mistress about her talk ; but she
i made him no answer. She only looked rattier vexed.
Mitchell, another domestic, had remained in her service
tillNoyember, 1864 ; but his evidence appeared to be of
leas importance.
The court then adjourned.

MANSION-HOUSE.
GROSS IMPOSITION.
Two labouring men, named Kennedy and Wright, were
brought before the Lord Mayor charged with endeavouring
to obtain money from the public by fraud.
It appeared that Hewett, an officer of the Mendicity
Society, saw the prisoners in Leadenhall-street this morn-
ing. and be observed thew go into several shops. They
were taken into custody, and upon them was found a pre-
tended petition setting forth that they were appointed to
collect subscriptions for the poor at the east end of the
town.

The prisoners admitted that the petition was not genuine
and expressed their sorrow for what they had done.
Tlwy were sentenced to seven days' imprisonment and
hard labour.

FALSE DECLARATION.
Mr. 77tosms WilFi m. Kick/ter, a respectableloohing man,
pleaded guilty to an offence under the Customs Acts.
The offence imputed to the defendant was, that having
been a candidate for an appointment in the Customs he
made a false declaration that he was only 39 years old,
whereas, in fact, he was 47.
The Lord: Mayor inflicted the lowest penalty of 251., in-
timating that this was the only course he could take.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A letter from Bucharest of the 21st ult., in the
Wanderer of Vienna, says :

A Greek on the Podu Mogoischsi yesterday evening fired
• pistol at the former minister, John Ghika. The arm,
however, which bad been leaded with two balls, burst, and
tore the hand and shoulder of the attempted assassin, who
was immediately arrested, while the intended victim escaped
unhurt. The motive for the act is not known. A rumour
is also in circulation of • rather disagreeable incident
which is said to have happened on the previous even-
ing to Prince Charles. He had remarked for two
days previously a man who appeared to be following
him in his walks. The prince, thinking him to be use
of his servants, perhape seeking for a favourable oppor-
tunity to deliver to him a petition, paid no attention to
the incident, but having gone on a visit to the
Malmaison barracks he again perceived the stranger,
who endeavoured to conceal himself in the crowd on find-
ing that he had been observed. The prince walked
resolutely towards the man and asked him who he was,
and what he wanted. The latter replied, with an em
hammed air, that be bad only arrived in the capital that
morning, and merely wished to gratify his desire to see
the Prince Regent. " But I have known you longer than
that," replied the prince ; " I now see you for the third
time. You must have some object in view, as you have
been following me everywhere." At these words the
stranger attempted to escape,', but was stopped by the
soldiers and arrested.

The two carmen were in the employ of Mr. O'Connor,

and empty the nosebags into a sack, which they took into
the shop. They came out with the empty sacks.
Mr. O'Connor said it was a cruel thing to do, as it was

MARYLEMONE.
♦ MEW TRICK.

Samuel Taylor, aged 25, of IS, George-street, Shoreditch,
hawker, and Dweiet Ilan, aged 27, of 8, Xing's-place,
Iloaton, general dealer, was charged with attempting to
pick pockets. .

Thomas Jones, 62 X, said—On the previous afternoon
he was in Westbounie-grove, where he saw the prisoners
and two other men not in custody. Taylor had a
black apron on. a pen behind hie ear, and what ap-
peared to be a brown paper parcel, with a
piece of paper on the top like an invoice. One of
the escaped men also had a similar parcel, and the other
had several cages with green birds in them which he was
offering for sale as splendid songsters. As he was hawking
the birds several people got round, and amongst others
the prisoners and a lady. The man not in custody with the
brown paper parcel came up and asked the lady the way to
Notting-hill. She turned round and Hall at the same time
said "That way mate, straight on." He distinctly saw,
whilst this was going on, Taylor put his hand in the
lady's pocket and pull something out. Hall and Taylor then
left, as did also the bird man, who seemed to be a con-
federate. Witness went after them and took them into
custody. At the station-house he found on Taylor ltis. lid.
in silver, and a silver chain. On opening the parcel he
found it was a " dummy," being merely one of ' Brown
and Poison's" empty corn boxes. He had torn the pre-
tended invoice up. On the way to the police-station they
were met by a young man, who said be was glad he had
met Taylor, as he said he had swindled him out of his
silver chain for one of the green birds, and given a wrong
address.

The young man alluded to said he met the prisoner,
who offered him ► bird for sale, and as he had not enough
money he let him have his silver chain. The prisoner
gave him an addreu in the Edgware-road, where he was to

pocket was picked would come forward.

THE WEEKLY PRESS.

Discussing the compound householder question,
the Spectator says it will heartily rejoice to see the defeat
of the 12th of April retrieved, now that the true colours
of the government are displayed, in the important divi-
sion which must still come on Mr. Hibbert's proposed
amendment. Unfortunately, the government haves:rattily
contrived to postpone the clause upon which this battle
must be fought to the very end of the bill, so that the
contest will probably come on towards the very end of
June, in a wearied house, eager for rest and for some sort

PORTUGAL

LISBON, May 4.

A question was addressed to the government in
the Chamber of Peers the day before yesterday
relative to the events of Oporto on the 22nd April.
Senor Eugenie Almeida, member of the Opposition,
observed that although the riots were a bad
and reprehensible means of protesting against
government measures ; he nevertheless censured
the dissolution of the Patriotic Association Of
Oporto. Tho Minister of War, in reply, energeti-
cally defended the rights and the conduct of
the government in this matter. Yesterday
the motion of Viscount Cloves, declaring that the
Chamber is satisfied with the explanations of the
government, was approved by 42 against seven
votes.

A deputation from the Municipal Chamber of
Oporto presented a petition against the new taxes
to the King at the Ajuda Palace yesterday evening.
His Majesty received the deputation courteously,
and said he was prepared to perform his duty ac-
cording to the constitutional charter.
The Queen leaves to-morrow for Italy.

PENZANCE, MAY 4.

The Swiftsure, from Melbourne, with passengers
and a general cargo, including a large consign-
ment of gold, passed up Channel off here this
morning.

Field-Marshal Benedek lives now at Gratz, in
Styria. A few evenings ago a thief broke into the house
and carried off all his orders and decorations, some of
which were of great intrinsic value. Strangely enough,
money and silver plate, which might also have been taken,
were left untouched. A love of orders is proverbial in
Germany.

FREE PARDON FOR NEVILLE MASKELYNE

TOO.VER.

This (Saturday) morning Mr. Ferry, the governor
of the County House of Correction at Reading, in which
Toomer has been confined since his trial at Abingdon last
year, received a post letter from the Home-office, ordering
Toomer's release, her Majesty having granted him a free
pardon from the crime, of which he stood convicted. The
object of Toomer's friends ,throoghout has been to obtain
for him a free pardon, and the intimation in the letter
received from the Home Secretary at the beginning of
the week by Mr. Bartlett, solicitor, of Reading, that
I the right hon. gentleman had felt it to be his duty to
remit the remainder of the sentence by no means afforded
full satisfaction either to Toomer, his family, or the gentle-
men who had interested themselves both in and oat of
parliament on his behalf. The contents of the letter which
reached the governor of the gaol this morning were imme-
diately conveyed to Toomer, who appeared much pleased
that the demand he had made through his friends for a
free pardon had been acceded to. He quitted the gaol
during the morning.

HAYMARKET.

Miss Amy Sedgwick made her promised appear-
ance at this house last night, and brought with her a new
play, in three acts, called The Coquette—an adaptation oCa
French drama entitled Nadeau Lovelace. Them are
many serious objections to the immoral French drama, but
the moral French drama, of which this is s specimen, is
only less objectionable. It is dull, and full of sermonizing.

If the joke were not a little too threadbare, we might say
that it rei.linds us in parts of the proverbial outpourings
of Tapper far more than of the brilliancy of Dumas or
Barden. It also in plot reminds us of a variety of pieces
that we have seen during the last ten or fifteen years, in
which a coquettish woman is punished for her frivolity by
at last falling in love with • man who seeks revenge for
some slight passed on a friend or relative, and
declines to return her love. This is the plot of
The Coquette, with the difference that a young mum
kills lineelf in despair at not being able is
move the heart of the flighty beauty, and his brother re-
venges his death in the way indicated. The coquette goes
mildly mad under the agony of her misplaced love ; her
tormentor, by the aid of a mutual friend—a very didactic
doctor—is brought into a condition of mild repentance,
and the play is brought to • mild and mural termination.
A drama like The Coquette may be performed without fear
before boarding schools and families. The characters s
mere colourless stage sketches. Mr. Walter Gordon has
merely to come on, say a dozen words, sad then go off and
stab himself. Mr. Howe's part might be represented,
without any scandal arising therefrom, by a city rector qr
a dean of St. Paul's. Mr. Kendal, as the avenger, has
something approaching a fair part, which he pourtraya in
a very gentlemanly manner ; and Miss Sedgwick, as the
coquette, has a little frivolity, a little passion, and a little
lunacy to represent, but not enough to make • strong im-
pression with. The new play, which, we believe, has two
adapters, is supported by Who Wants o Opinea earn-
preened into three acts. The house was not very full, but
Miss Sedgwick had a good reception.

THE raocarss OT THE REFORM BILL.

In the opinion of the Times the shape in which
the Reform Bill will be finally submitted to the House of
Commocs may be regarded as settled. The relative allot-
ment of seat. to towns and counties may be considered as
determined, and even the distribution of seats among the
counties will probably remain unaltered. Subject to the
single but considerable alteration of having given • third
member to the populous towns of Liverpool, Manchester,
Birmingham, and Leeds, at the expense of Luton,
Keighley, Barnsley, and St. Helen's—an alteration
which would have been still more considerable had it been
accomplished by depriving the four stagnant towns struck
at last night by Colonel Gilpin of • member a-piece—the
Chancellor of the Exchequer's redistribution scheme will
pass in the form it was proposed after the Whitsun recess.
It would be idle to pretend that it is commensurate with
the enfranchising clauses of the bill, and the Times shares
the regret expressed by Mr. Gladstone last night, believing
with him that "any measure which bears the name of •
Parliamentary Reform Bill should, in the main, be satis-
factory and adequate, so far as the two branches of the
question are concerned." But the House of Commons is
mule up of mortal men, and time is limited, and the com-
mittee has acted wisely in expediting • measure which, in
spite of inequality in details, contains a more extensive
scheme of reform than any bill introduced into parliament
since 1834

The Doily News also takes the division of last night to
be probably the last of any importance on the Representa-
tion of the People Bill. Practically, it amounts to a
reservation of the subject of the redistribution of seats
until a future session of parliament. The present bill ia
to all intents and purposes simply a Suffrage Bill, and
the liberal party would do well to consider the question of
the redistribution of seats as adjourned to a future session
and a reformed House of Commons. It seems that nearly
30 clauses were disposed of last night, most of them by
being either dropped or withdrawn, or negatived without
division, and after alight discussion. The house came
fairly within sight of the schedules; and there is no reason
why, if similar forbearance on the part of private members
be shown, it should not proceed with them to-day.
The Ttlegrapk attaches little importance to the current
gossip that irritated Tories will somehow contrive to
make the Government throw up the bill and then appeal
to the country. The plain truth is, the Government
cannot throw up the bill. It does not belong to her
Majesty's Ministers, for it is the property of the house.
More than that, it is the possession of the country. To
draw back the offered boon, to sacrifice the severe labours
of a session, " to waste a year," would raise a storm which
neither minister nor members would care to face.
