Tilt ("SE 0? TORACCO.

The Daily Neer+ nays the ascetic who denounces as a
vice every practice which gives him no pleasure is con-
genially employed in prophesying hard things of those
whose pipes and cigars he has failed to extinguish. Hav-
ing ascertained u a fact that excessive smoking is in-
jurious to health, he draws the illogical inferenco that
the use of tobacco in any form and degree must imperil
life. Meantime the public, disregarding his denunciations,
smokes and snuffs, and does not seem any whit the worse.
One man has special reason for applauding the attitude
and action of the public. The Chancellor of the Exche-
quer would have to provide by other taxation for a deficit
of six millions were the consumption of tobacco wholly to
cease.

TNE LAW IND Mt

Referring to the law relating to the sale of spirit+ and
fermented liquors= Sunday, and to the vexed question
as to what constitutes a traveller" within the moaning of
the statute, the telegraph thinks until some clearly defined
provisions on the subject have been made, we shall not
cease to be distracted by a perplexing act of parliament,
sand by contradictory opinions on the part of those to
whom we naturally look up for the prgpsr exposition of
the law.

SURREY.

A very full house AMNIA:lied at the Surrey on
Saturday evening to witneen the ptutominie. Long
before the time announced for throwing the doors
cpcn to the public every seat in the boxes and pit
was filled, admission having bees gained on the pay-
ment of an extra charge through the stage-door, to
which the people had been allured by the delusive
expectation that they would thereby escape the fearful
crush inevitable on Boxing night on the attempt to obtain
access through the mud entrances and all. The panto-
mime bears the very long name of Jeek end Jill, end
the Shaping Broody; or, fiarlovidim Ilatosply Danyty.
Altogether the pantomime pared off very well, but
the comfort of some portions of• the audience was
seriously interfered with • by the crowded state of
the how e. Even in the dress circle many more were ad-
mitted than there were seat+ for. and some who could tied
neither irate nor standing room quitted the theatre, ob-
taining. how!vcr, tickets of admienon for another evening.
There was tome excellent dancing, and the harlequinado
was well sustained. Mr. Harry Crouode appeared, as in
former years, iu the character of Clown, ]fr. Sylvain was
Harlequin, and Rise Dirralli Columbine.

=GLAND •HD CHINA.

While regarding with satisfaction the fat that
through the instrumentality of Mr. Consul Med-
hurst and the British squadron, war in China
has been averted, the Star cannot say that there is any
ground for national soli-complacency in the occurrences

which have taken place at Nankin. While it is desirable
that the celestials ~hould have a wholesome respect for
our power, it is still more important that they should be
able to confide in our justice—in our disposition not to
take an undue advantage of a weaker state. This is the
real security for the future.

ROYAL ALFRED.

The Royal Alba—which, we may remark, for the
benefit of Belgravia and May-fair, is situated in
New Church-street, Fdgware-read, and is one of
the handsomest of suburban theatres—has been furnished
by Mr. Robert Soutar with a new psatomine on the
popular subject of inittisspros ewe Us Girt. The opening
portion is put on the stage with great splendour, and the
transformation some is equal to anything that has been
produced in this way. There is plenty of fun in the har-
lequinade of the good Old-fashioned kind. Pantomime
proper, which has certainly &elm' el in the high-priced
theatres of the West-and, will evidently die bard in the
suburbs, wiser, the interest in its established features un-
doubtedly shows es yet no sign of abatement.

SADLER'S WELLS.

Boxing-night at the " Wells" was charac-

is &called on Mr. Planehi's version:of the well-known
fairy tale by the Countem d'Aluois, and is entitled t/r•ea

THE RELATIONS BETWEEN TURKEY AND
GREECE.
BERLIN, Dec. 16, EVIONINIL
The semi-official Provincial Corrapondencs says:
" It is somewhat surprising that when the insur-
rection in Crete is almost stamped out, the Porte
should address an ultimatum to Greece. This
ultimatum allowed until the 17th inst. for Greece
to reply. The Great Powers have hastened to pre-
vent an outbreak of hostilities, and Prussia, who
neither exerciees any right of control over Greece
r claims any special right of protection over
Turkey, has nevertheless spontaneously joined
the efforts to preserve peace, and in a
specially earnest manner, which has bees ac-
knowledged with satisfaction by the protecting
Powers, has endeavoured to cause Greece td com-
ply with the demands of Turkey so far as they are
founded on international law. It may be expected
with certainty that the warnings of the !lowers
will be listened to both at Athens and Constanti-
nople."
PARA Deo. 16, Bnisnee.
The lfemiteur du Sae, in its bulletin, says:—
" The Mime= cabinet. show in their viol,. m-
ewling Greece the same harmony as preisiled
@song them with regard to Roumania. All the
great powers which signed the treaty of 1866 re-
commend Greece to respect international law, and
are making every effort tobrmg about the triumph
of ideas of moderation and wisdom both at Athens
and Constantinople. This harmony, so happily
agreed upon by the great powers, is a valuable
guarantee for the maintenance of peace, and
we may hope that the germs of the difficulty will
be stifled at the outset.'

AN ESTATE AGENT CHARGED WITH
BMBIZZLEMINT.

At the Manchester City Police-court, yesterday,
before Mr. Fowler, stipendiary magistrate, Mr. Richard
Johnson Lawton, who has for many years carried on the
business of a surveyor and estate agent, at Booth-street,
Manchester, was charged with embezzling various sums
of money, estimated at between 3001. and 4001., the pro-
perty of Mr. Robert Townley Parker, Cuerdon Hall, near
Preston.

Mr. Cobbett said the prisoner was charged with having
embezzled several sums of money belonging to Mr.
Robert Townley Parker, by whom be had been em-
ployed for several years in the capacity of agent.
The prosecutor owned a considerable estate lathe township
of Bradford, of which he bad the entire management, and
it was his duty, amongst other things, to let the land, col-
lect the rents, and, after paying any necessary accounts,
to place the balance in the Manchester and Liverpool
District Bank. Some months sines Mr. Parker bad
reason to suspect there were some irregularities, and he
called upon the prisoner to render an account. After
the account had been rendered, the prisoner was dis-
missed, and Mr. Parker went to look after the property
himself. He ascertained that there was a class of pro-
perty let to various persons for the purpose of making
bricks, and that they paid their rents, unlike most other
people, in the month of November. He referred to the
prisoner's account to see whether he . had included: the
moneys received by him for that class of property, and
he found that out of • sum of 1,0171. receiveklietween
November, 1862, and the same month in 1867, prisoner
bad only accounted for 6301., thus leaving a balance of
3871. not mentioned at all.

Witnesses having been called to prove the payment of
the sums above mentioned,
Mr. Edwards, who appeared for >fr. Lawton, said he
had no doubt that when the prisoner had sufficient time to
enable him to go through the several items with his legal
adviser there would be a full and satisfactory answer
given to most if not all of the charges.
The prisoner was committed for trial at the sessions.
Bail was accepted, himself in 1,00 W., and two sureties of
600 J. each. _

SOME CHRISTMAS CHARITIES.

THE founders and treasurers of the " Destitute
" Children's Dinner Society„ appeal again for
aid to carry on their benevolent operations, and
we cannot doubt that among the good works of
Christmastide this unostentatious but most sen-
sible and effectual Charity will not be forgotten by
a public always ready to open its purse for
the relief of the unfortunate, and some-
times, perhaps, with more alacrity than
discrimination. There is ono point which
should not be lost sight of by good people
blessed with the riches of this world, who are not
only anxious to relieve their own tender feelings
by contaibuting to the alleviation of the infinite
sorrows of the unnumbered poor, but who desire
to do good in the most useful way. To
put down your name and a donation
to sonic general fund, is better, no doubt,
than to do nothing; to write cheques for all sorts
of beneficent objects without taking the trouble to
ascertain how the money is spent, and what amount
of comfort it brings to the distressed, may be
all that many rich and kind but very
busy men can find to do in their lei-
sure moments. But if they will only make
One simple rule, and adhere to it, the rule of
doing as much good as they can in their own im-
mediate neighbourhoods, and of so far localising
their ountributions as to'be sure of the hands into
which the money goes for distribution, they will
, haye the satisfaction of serving the cause of hums-
, skity far more effectually than by the most lavish

CONSERVATISM IN CAMBRIDGESHIRE.

A meeting of the most influential members of the
conservative petty in Cambridgeshire and the Isle of
Bly was held at the Lion Hotel, Casibridp, yester-
day. It was oraysered by circular by Hz. Barlow, of
Cambridge, conservative agent for the oounty and borough,
at the suggestion of the FAA of Hardwick., "to consider
the preset political state of the county and town." Pro-
°bodies the circular says, " With the vast balance of
power that has by the late Reform Bill been placed in the
Lando of one class, and with the combinations that are
taking place among the members of that elms in our large
cities and towns, it is time—nay, it is absolutely impeno
Wye upon the higher and middle classes to unite, and, by
every legitimate means, toexert their inflow's for the pre-
, vention and subduing of the democratic principles the
Reform League and other such associations are endeavour-
ing to instil into the minds of ' the people.'"
At three o'clock the Rini of liaausaccs, ths lord-
lieutenant of the oounty, took the chair, sad there were
this present, In addition, Lord Royston, M.P., and about
50 of the principal menthe's of the conservative party.
The Real of HARDWICK" submitted the following as the
Lest resolution :--" That a conservative registration as-
sociation for the county and boroug `ofd bridge be at
once established ; that these prese ehemselves as
members ; and that the annual subscription be not lass
than ten shillings."
This resolution was'formally moved by the Rev. G. G. G.
Tawas Proarr, of Abington.
Mr. GNARL'S HALLS, the leader of the conservative
party in the borough, in seconding the resolutMe, dwelt
at length on the value of organisation as exemplified by
the result of the formation of the Cambridge (borough)
Ostiesrvative Club, the officers of which were invariably
reedy for any emergency, and prepared to take energetic
hours. In his- humble judgment much
orpnisation had long been wanting amongst the conserva-
tive* of the county. He looked upon this county as
thoroughly conservative, but hitherto they sad lost their
strength for the want of such an institution as this, an
institution that would make them all more intimate and
better friends. would develop their strength, and would
, ! show their opponents not only that they were swerve-
live, but united and ready at any moment to meet them.
` I Certain officers were then appointed, and rules pro-
', visionally agreed to, the latter to be subject to supervision
' at a future meeting. The resolution above given and the
seereading mess were carried enaanneeaty.

that you have been in prison.
Prisoner— Ah ! to be sure ! I gave myself up when I
had neither house nor bread.

Magistrate—You say you are as artist. Wh►t art do

to employ a decoy. Well then, I represented sometimes

THE POLICE COURT&

GUILDHALL.

James Cole, a packing.case maker, carrying on himinese
at 27. Alma-street, Heaton, was placed at the bar before
Alderman Caustou, charged with obtaining various sums
of money by fraud from Messrs. Maw and Co., surgical ,
instrument maker., of No. 11, Aidersgste•xtreet.
Mr. itivolts prosecuted, and stated that this was a most
ingenious fraud, and had been carried on by the prisoner
for a great many years, and to an extent that they were at
wren' not aware of. The prosecutors had dealt with the
rdira great *ember et years, and Ind the utmost owe
ceer In him. The system of their establishment was to
order goods for the different departments, and have them I
sent in with a docket to the department they were for,
and at the end of the week to send in an invoice for the
whole. When that invoke was received it Muscat round
to each department, where the manager of it ticked off all i
the goods he had received, and passed it to the next until
it was completely chequed. It was then given back
to the prisoner to Wte to the cashier, and get,
paid the amount of it. It appeared new that the prisoner
was in the habit of leaving a line at the top and bottom of
the invoice and sometimes in other parte of it ore that
after he got it back into his possession ticked off he could
add whatever he pleased in those lines and put a tick to
them aa if they had been passed by the heads of the de.
partinents. To avoid any alteration of figures it seemed
that the total of the invoice was put down at as much
more than the amount as he intended to overcharge, so
that when he had made his additions the total woeh be
correct. Another means he adopted to carry on hie fraud
was by adding figures to those already put down ; for
instance, if an item were half a dozen tin eases at 20s. per
dosen—lOs ,he would add 1 before the half dozen, and
pot If. in the money column, thus defrauding the prose-
cutors out of one sovereign in that item. The fraud was
not discovered, because it was not customary for the fore-
men to cast up the invoice, and when it came before the
cashier it was always correct ; and besides, having dealt
with the prisoner for so many years they never had the
slightest suspicion that he would attempt to rob them.
lidenee having been gins,
Mr. Rivolta asked for a remand, as he bad a large am*
bee of charges to bring against the prisoner, but at present
he did not know the number or extent of them.
The prisoner was remanded.

THE IT. ♦LBAII'B CANE.

The Herald represen't; the late ritualistic trial has
ended in something very much like • drawn battle. It is
true that on four out of five points the anti ritualists have
obtained • clear expression of judicial opinion in their
favour, and that the fifth, which relates to the use of
lighted candles during the celebration of holy communion,
is eomparatively • minor matter. No mete have been
awarded to them as against their antagonists in the
Maskonochie case ; but this is on the express ground
that the promoter was not a parishioner, and that
some of the acts complained of were within the cogni-
sance and power of the ordinary. In future, then, if the
consequences of the decision are to be accepted in their
entirety, it will become • part of episcopal duty to mu.
late elerioal practice in accordance with Sir R. Phillimore's
ruling. Supposing the beach of bishops to act thus, the
✓itualists will be held in check N effectually as their ad.
versaries could possibly have desired. But, on the other
band, if any particular bishop chooses to act independently,
be will find abundant justification in the arguments by
which the Dean of Arches at coos leads up to and away
from his conclusions.
