ADELPHI.

That well-known nautical drama, the Pilot, wu
revived last night with great splendour of scenery, decors-
*Wee, and appointments; and although the present genera-
tion has so thoroughly lost the recollection of the American
war that the ridicule of the Yeas, army semis now to be
somewhat of an impertinence, the piece proved to have in-
trtnnio merits enough in it. way to render its restoration to
the boards of the Adelphi a highly popular step. Mr. T. P.
Cooks appeared once more in his original character, that
darling of all the seafaring gods, Long Tom Coffin ; and he
danced with scarcely impaired vigour hie once famous horn-
pipe, and sang with unimpaired spirit, if with a somewhat
weakened voice, that well-known bit of maritime philosophy
about the " tiles and c.himbly pots." One other song incident
to the pert he also sang, which in our opinion it would have
been better to omit, namely, that wherein Long Tom hints
at a number of scarcely docent lquirorses a propos of his
courtship. The heroine of the evening was Mule Mary
Keeley, who looked charming enough as Kate Plowden,
and displayed just that mixture of feeling and sauciness
which is considered the proper attribute of "the Iris who
loves a sailor." liar song was encored, and her duet with
Miss Arden at the end of the first act wee also loudly ap-
plauded. Mr. Wright wee hardly at home in the Yankee
Captain, but he contrived to extract from the part a great
deal of fun, which appeared to be very acceptable to the audi-
ence. Mr. Selby looked and acted the character of the
mysterious pilot with great effect ; and when Mr. Cooke on
being called before the curtain announced the piece for repe-
tition till further notice, the intimation was receive...l with un-
equivocal marks of approbation.

THE STATE OF NAPLES.

The Paris Presse of last evening hoe the following:
" NAPLES, JAN. 21.

" The theatres are closed ; most of the cars and
hotels, more than half of the printing-offices. and the
greater part of the libraries arc also closed. The
(ustom•housc is nearly deserted. Judge of the state
in which we arc. The letter-boxes are shut, and
every person wishing to post a letter must deliver
it personally into the hands of a clerk. Since the
explosion of the powder magazine and the arrest of
Milano, more than 500 persons have been arrested,
and of these certainly not more than 100 have been
released."

operating does not hold out much hope of any great brisk.
ors in any branch of trade. The value of the imports for
the year up to the close of September amounted to the MUD of
11,722,9231., and that of the ezporta to 10,974,8901. The first
amount is far beyond the legitimate consuming power of
a popalstka of something under four hundred and
forty theorised seen, women, and children, and until some
nearer calculation of the actual wants of the colony is arrived
at, there can be no improvement. Speculation has been kept
within bounds by the determined attitude of the banks and of
the first homes, or something like a repetition of the events
which thersoterieed the year 1864 would have been brought
about, and the interests of shippers entirely maritime,. At
present nearly every dessmiption of imported merchandise,
except eastern produce, is selling at very low rates, but is not

FRIDAY Zymase.
The funds showed Wines this morning, and at
one period a decline of 3 per cent. wee established,
large speculative sales being pressed by parties who
operate for French home. A rumour we. at the
same time circulated that, owing to the severe de-
preciation of French securities, of which they are
such large holders, the Craft Mobilier Society will
be unable to pay any dividend for the current year.
This rumour, of course, needs confirmation. In the
afternoon the market became stronger in character,
and at 4 o'clock prices were quoted / per oent.
higher than yesterday. It is said that the improve-
ment was assisted by the buying-in of the accounts
of two speculators for the fall ; but the arrival of
highly favourable accounts from New York exer-
cised a stimulating influence.

The stocks of all the Indian railway companies

(From the Saterday lboisto..)
We hope we need not argue with the Bishop of
Oxford is to the value of that outward Christianity which
sloes it is in the power of the state by force or bribery to
produce. We need not tell him that when hats add lost meet
together in any breast, be It that of • heathen or • Christian
—be it that of • Naas Sahib or • Borgia—they create a hell ;
or that, ffeadlitt se the crimes of the Sepoys are, they ere
scarcely so fiendish u those which have been committed by
Christian priests and inquisitors in the name of Christian
love. History monis everywhere terrible sbyssss in human
nature; bat it schools us te treat humanity everywhere on
undeviating principles of justice, unmoved even by the
most borribe aberrations. We have no serious fear lest
England should really apostatise from the principle
of liberty of conscience in the government of her great de-
pendency—much lees do we imagine that she ran be guilty
of so shameful a Mies Ma to exclude from political employ-
ment in India all its inhabitants who do not profess the re-
ligion of the stet& Our nation Is happily separated by en
impassable gulf of thought and feeling from the possibility
of "asserting its Christianity" after the manner of Cortes
and Pizarro. But we are sorry to see a moment's wavering,
even under the strongest provocation. The principle of per-
fect respect for liberty of oonscience is the last, the hardest,
the most precious conquest of humanity over itself. Oa
Its maintenance depends the only reel insurance which
the world ma have even of revealed truth ; for whin
would be the assurance even of revealed truth In a world
of mental slaves Y Ragland seems charm se the guardian
of liberty of conscience in Europe at the present time.
To guard it faithfully Is her beet tribute to ileavan—her
best &dote the respect of all that is good and noble in the
world. That she has guarded it well will be her glorious
epitaph, when, in the revolutions of empire, her power end
wealth shall have beoune a legend of the put. Distance
and climate do not change principle. The conscience of the
Bindoo is conscience, however clouded, though declaimers
may pretend that good is evil and evil good, by the law of
the prophet and the institutes of Menu. If It were not so,
it would be vain to offer him a purer religion, for he would
be incapable of seeing that our religion Is purer then his
own. Double, treble the number of your missionaries and
your bishops. Speed in every way the apostolic week of
Christina love. But the sword is forbidden ; and not only

The increase of 330,6701. in the banking reserve
of notes and coin is attained by a decrease of securi-
ties (both government and " other" securities),
coupled with an increase in the Treasury deposits ;
on the other hand, allowance is to be made for the
large decrease in the " other " deposits. The Bank's
reserve of notes and coin is now 729,0371. over and
above the two millions issued beyond the legal
limit, under the Treasury letter. As the Bank
bought nearly three hundred thousand pounds worth
of newly imported gold during the week in gusto-
tion, further parcels of sovereigns must have been
withdrawn, in part, probably, by countrybankers.

George White was charged with having been concerned in
stealing a valuable Skye terrier, belonging to Mr. Gordon
Cumming, of 232, Piccadilly, the celebrated African traveller
and lion hunter, whose secretary,
Mr. William Harrim stated that in the forenoon of the 18th
February, he had occasion to visit Mr. Hall, a professed natu-
ralist, in the City-road, and while he was there the terrier,
which he valued at 101., was stolen from the shop-door. A few
days since a person waited upon him, and after some preli-
minaries, which proved his knowledge as to the whereabouts
of the stolen animal, programed to get it back upon payment
of It., and the legume' feigning acquiescence. it was arranged
for him to meet the partite and perfect the bargain at a
place in Brownlow-street. In a mom there he accordingly
saw hie dog in the arms of a man, but he pretended not to
recognise it, and left the place with a view of obtaining weds-
lance to secure it and the parties. • Upon his return, in half
an hour, he met the three men leaving the house, and be
seized time primmer, who wee the foremost, but the other two
made off by a bark way, carrying off the dog. The prisoner
himself struggled desperately to get loose, bit him in two

in the face, end all the time kicking about him so furiously,
as to keep at bay two men who bad come to assist. He was
at length overpowered and placed in police custody.
The prisoner was remanded.

MURDEROUS AFFRAY NEAR BARNSLEY

A murderous attack was perpetrated on Friday
night. About half-pest eleven o clock, as police-constable
Hubert Walker, stationed at Wombwell, was going his round
at Seuithley, about • mile front the Lundhill Colliery, he
beard some men in a field in which were • number of sheep
belonging to Mr. Haehforth, farmer, of Alden-house.
Having no doubt r to the intentions of the men,be got behind
a hedge in an adjoining field, where he could lautty see what
wan going on. lie had only been there a short time when
be saw three men drive the *flock of sheep into the corner of
the field elms to where ho wan concealed, • short hedge
only dividing them. Having caught two of the sheep,
one of the party uked, " Whore shall we stick them
Another replied, " Let us take them down to the low end
of the field,' which they proceeded to do. 9he constable
baying honed the answer made at once prepared to attack
the men and endeavour to capture some of them. For thin
purpose ho took off hie cost-bat and 'enterer, and followed
them at the other aide of the hedge. On arriving at the
bottom of the field he could only see two men, who had the
sheep on the ground, and who were stooping over them. Ile
struck one of them a blow with a heavy walking-stick, and
the other he succeeded in handcuffing. Another man, who
wee no doubt of the three he first saw, came up and gave a
whistle. The signal won responded to, and five more men
rushed to the spot, when a desperate struggle ensued, the
men being armed with life-prestirvern and butchers knives.
Walker's click having broken, ho mired a life-preeerver
from ono of the villain., with ho used with good effect.
For • short time the constable withstood the attack,
during which the partite iu the struggle rolled over the low
hedge into an adjoining field. The knives and life-pre-
servers were then used meet unmercifully, till Walker wan
completely overpowered end rendered insensible. 'the
men, incluking the one with the handcufiii on, then made
off. On the policeman recovering he, with great ditbulty,
managed to crawl to the farm of Mr. Walton, about eighty
yards distant. lie was immediately conveyed to his residence
at Wombwell, end medical mid called in, when it was found
that two of 116 fingers were entirely cut off, and • third was
hanging by the skin, which was afterwards amputated.
He was bruised and cut nearly all over his body, having
;even revere wounds an the head, all inflicted with knives,
his face cut in • shocking manner, and our of his shoulders
dislocated. Ile now lies in a very precarious state. From
what van be gleaned from the constable, it appears that there
is little doubt that mine of the men will be easily recoguimble
from the injuries inflicted ujset there. Three surgeons have
been in constant attendenee upon the unfortunate man. Great
fen are entertained that lockjaw will supervene.

THAMES._

Williams Halt, aged tO,-day watchman 3 in the employ of
the FAA and West India Doak Company, was charged with
stealing rum, the property of his employees.
Mark Anthony Laddle, a dock constable, said, rum had
frequently dimppeared from the cults on the rum quay in •
very mysterious manner, and for some weeks this plunder
was going on almost daily. Mr. Sheppy, the superintendent
of the Houk Company's police, instituted • strict inquiry,
and was satisfied that the plunder wee committed by the pri-
soner, whorls movement", were directed to be closely watched.
That morning witness was secreted on the rum quay, and
saw the primmer approach a tier of calks containing rum.
The prisoner looked about him cautiously, retired, and re-
turned in a minute afterward., and stooped, and commenced
boring one of the (smith. Soon after that he saw the pri-
soner drawing MI liquor into a tin bottle. He rushed for-
ward, and sieved the prisoner in the act of plunder. The
primmer got awry among the casks and disappeared. He
caned to him sod said, " Hall, it ie of no use ; I -know a hem
you are:' Hall called out, " I am here, air," and surrendered,
at the same time observing, " I am done ; I am ruined. Yon
ham found me in the act of plundering." There weie five
tin bottles &limpide the cask of rum which the prisoner had
pierced. Three of them were full, and contained • quart of
ram each ; another wee partially filled, and the fifth wee
empty. There were two wooden spills in the cask, and he
found two more on the prisoner, who mid, I will not resist,
lam hard up, and wanted to make a little money." He
afterward, soacehed the prisoner's dwelling, 16, Cobden-
I street, Bromley, where he discovered three tin cases made to
fit the stomach and waist of any man ; they had contained
rum. In • bottle there was about half-a-pint of strong rum,
which he had no doubt was taken from • cask on the quay.
The megistnith sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned
and kept to hard labour for six months.

THE BRANHALL MURDER.

The following additional evidence was given at
the adjourned inquest, on Tuesday evening
Ccoper - -I am a sergeant of the Cheshire county
constabulary. 1 accompanied Superintendent Andrews to
the bongs of the deceased about four o'clock on the morning
of Wedneeday last. I found the prisoner and his brother
Thomas there, and I afterwards mite the dead body of the
deceased. After we had made an examination of the house,
Mr. Andrews left, and I remained in charge. Before he
ialt he locked up the aitting-room, and took the key with
bits. No one went into it during his absence. With the
exception of Sergeant Hammond and myself, no one went
into the decelowd'e bedroom until Mr. Andrews returned.
I produce a leathern abut bag and a powder auk which I
found in a drawer in a wash-band table in the prisoner's
bedroom. The bag is half full of /hot, and there is some
powder in the disk. I also produce two exploded rape which
I found in the tame drawer. In which was also • box con-
taming a number of raps which corresponded with the epeat
ones. 1 have aim e taken twelve shots from the shot bag and
delivered Hs in to Mr. John Graham, who weighed them in
sly presence. and they correapinded in weight with 12 others
which he had. I searched the premise., outside and in, on
the morning of the murder, so soon as It wall daylight, but
could find no trem of any footmark..
Thomas Hanitnend—l am • police sergeant, stationed at
Basel-grove. I heard of the murder between 3 and 4 o'clock
on Wednesday morning, and went to the deceased's house
immediately. I met Mr. Andrews leaving the premises,
and on arriving there I mede a search, in company with
other officer', but could not find footmarks or other traces of
burglars. When Mr. Andrews returned, about 9 o'clock,
WO made a more minute much on the Seim. Codes the
window, and en the window-sill, on the first landing, I
found a number of fattened ahem, some of which I now
woduce, and the remainder I delivered to Mr. Andrews.
One or two stairs below the first landing, between the rails,
I founds piece of paper, which appearv-I to have been sued
as wadding for a gun, and I banded it to Mr. Andrew..
Mr. O. Y. Graham, a nirgeon at Stockport, described the
mature of the wounds received by deceased.
By the Curentr—l have no hesitation in saying that the
person who fired at the ilea sad must have stood somewhat
to the right of bin. Judging from the direction which the
shot took, I do not think it is possible that the descendcould
have been in a rising or sitting posture when be was shot,
George Dowse—l =a surgeon at Stockport. On Friday
lest I made a poet-porton examination of the body of the
deceased, in company with the Lest witness and his son, Mr.
John Graham. I concur In the evidence given by Mr.
Orsham an to the state of the wounds, and also generally
a• to the CORM of death.
