SOUTHWARK.

Elks Frilsom, 19, dressed in male clothing, was brought
before Mr. Patteson, charged with attempting to obtain an
order for admission into the casual ward of St. Saviour's
Union, by representing herself to be Richard Williams.
Sergeant Edwards, 16 L, said that between 9 and 10
o'clock on the previous night he was on duty at the Tower-
street police-station, when the prisoner came in and asked
for an order for the casual ward of St. Saviour's Union.
He demanded her name, when she replied " Richard
Williams." A detective officer named Morton happened
to be present, and from what he said he questioned her as
to her sex, when she admitted that she was a female, and
that her name was Ellen Wilson. He then asked her how
she came to be dressed as a man, when she replied that
she had been in that attire for five years, and had latterly
been in all the casual wards in London except St. Savour's
Union. She afterwards told him she was a native of Yar-
mouth, in Norfolk, but had no friends or relatives living.
Witness bad her searched, and then sent to the work-
house for a proper change of clothing for her, but on a
refusal to comply with his request he was compelled to
bring her before his worship in her present state.
Mr. Patteson sated if she had any money about her.
Witness replied in the negative. She appeared to be
perfectly destitute, but he thought it was his duty to bring
her before the magistrate on account of her dress.
prisoner said the was destitute of friends, and
adopted the male attire to enable her to get her
hveti-
he For the last two or three days she had been
suSering from inflammation of the eyes, or she would
nct have troubled the pollee. If she hail been admitted
to the casual ward she intended to have 'performed what-
ever work they might have put her to. She never meant
to defraud the pariah.
Mr. Patteson ordered her to be taken to the workhouse,
the authorities of which would no doubt take care of her.

EVERY EVENING.

LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 31.

MR. MATTHEW ARNOLD.

Is the new number of the Cornhili Maga:int
Mr. MATIJIEW Auxom brings to a conclusion a
series of papers he has been writing under the
fanciful and somewhat foreign title of " Anarchy
and Authority." We have read them with all the
deference due to the writer's name, and to his
authority as an ingenious critic, an inspector of
schools, and a classical poet. After this most
laborious and bewildering experience we take
breath at last, and humbly inquire what all this
galimatias of words, words, words, is about, and
what this transcendently disdainful and fastidious
Hellenist, or British " Philistine converted to mil-
" tore," as he modestly calls himself, is driving
at. We can see that he has studied his Sauna-
Bzuvx admiringly, and that like actors who
always seize the mannerism of their models, he
has not caught something of the delicacy and
daintiness of the eminent Frenchman, without
converting those delightful qualities into sim-
pering and mincing airs of superiority, which
the substance of his prose is hardly strong enough
to excuse. That brataliti which Mr. MATrEaw
ARrioLD would probably agree with us in de-
scribing as an inherent characteristic of the true
Briton is not more agreeable when it peeps through
a thin coat of French polish, or when it lisps and
grimaces with a languid scorn.

Mr. Marrtixw ARNOLD has not yet quite un-
learnt the rude frankness of his countrymen, and
the honey of his sarcasm is sometimes not so
craftily qualified as to taste like honey. But to
pass from the form to the subject matter of all
this phrasemaking, we ask again, in the name of
common sense or common ignorance, what does
all this luxury of words import ? We should
be glad to see a brief abstract or analysis of the
argument of these papers on Anarchy and
Authority. After all, it is no fault of his that he
is taken seriously by some readers. Perhaps, in-
deed, there is more amusement to be got out
of thee* pages by taking them seriously than by
treating them as a deadly lively series of bur-
lesque imitations of the attitudes and tones of

trilorrwa, CARLYLE, Hamm, and Baum Bsvvs.

THE BRITISH TRADESMAN

MR. HENRY BIDWELL, who describes himself
as secretary to the " Foreign Girls Protection
" Society," seems to be an ingenious person. The
particulars of a shameful and distressing case
having appeared in the papers, he drew up a pro-
spectus, of which the following is the key-note
The recent expose at the Mansion-house as to
" the poor Belgian girl and the procuress amply
" shows how necessary is this Society. Hundreds
" of poor foreign girls are deooyed from their
" homes and their own countries, and inveigled
" into this for the vilest and most horrible of pur-
" posse, as the police reports often testify. Their
" sufferings cannot be conceived, imagined, or do-
" scribed." A florid picture of " a London cler-
" gyman, rector of a parish and brother of an
" alderman, an old man of seventy, who for over
" ten years has ridden up in his carriage to this
" den of infamy," and an imposing list of com-
mitteemen were added. The society having been
thus fairly started, its secretary, Mr. Bin-
s/nu., proceeded with its business. The first
branch of this was to secure a brougham and
horse (value 2001.) for Mr. BIDWELL himself ;
the second to obtain hair-brushes " for the
" use of the girls in the Home." A
curious hitch occurred in this last transaction.
This zealous and pains-taking secretary wanted
one of the hair brushes to be of ivory " for
" the Lady Superioress" ; but the shopman
" thought wood would be good enough." Yet,
with the concurrence of the master-tradesman,
Mr. BEDWIDL was allowed to take his purchases
away without payment, and apparently without
other reference than some papers he produced
himself. That it should be necessary to restrain
the extravagance of a customer awoke no suspi-
cions in the minds of the brushmakers, who
thus furnish one more instance of the marvellous
sues with which a Load= trudowasa ema be per-

GREAT FIRE AT FINSBURY.

Between 9 and 10 o'clock last night a fire
broke out at Kittle's timberyard, in Paul-street,
Finsbury. The workmen employed left at 8 o'clock'
and at the time mentioned above the wife of the
senior partner of Mews. Brown and Sons, builders,
in the same thoroughfare, ran down stairs into
the counting-house and exclaimed, " The place is
on fire." The cause of the alarm was at once
apparent, the large piles of timber in Mr., Kittle's
premises, extending over a hundred square yards, soon
presenting a mass of flame. By the time the engines
arrived the back part of the premises of Messrs. Brown
and Son, numbered 106 and 106, was in a blaze, the in-
tensity of the fire being considerably augmented by there
being at least a ton weight of oil and turpentine placed
at the back, mul becoming ignited. The firemen exerted
themselves in a praiseworthy manner, but in addition to
the premises named the flames gained a firm hold of the
back part of the Paul's Head public-house, at No. 104,
Paul-street, and the fire ultimately extended itself to
Paul's-square, which is chiefly inhabited by poor working
people. By twelve o'clock there was no fear of the fire
spreading any further. Mr. Kittle's timber yard has been
wholly destroyed, and, with the exception of the private
dwelling of Messrs. Brown and Son, their property hasalso
fallen a prey to the flames. The dwelling-house num-
bered I, in Paul's-square, is quite destaoyed, whilst those
numbered 2 and 3 are nearly or partially so. Tho damage
done at the Paul's Head is confined to the back part. of
the premises, and there are other minor instances of
damage consequent on the calamity. How the fire
could not be ascertained. The conduct of the
snob assembled was disgraceful and Superintendent
Gernon, Inspector M•Kay, and Sergeants \Vhelan and
Wood had 110 easy task in preserving order. Mr. Kittle
and Messrs. Brown and Son are, we understand, insured.

THE CASE OF MR. J. F. WILKINSON.

EIOUTEEN months' penal servitude, even with
a free pardon at the end of it, is a bitter lesson
to undergo. Mr. JAMES FIIKELINO WILKINSON,
the ex-manager of the Joint Stock Discount Com-
pany, will return to the world a sadder and wiser
man for his experience; and the hundreds of City
speculators, to whom his career and its climax are
known, will think of both as instances of the
harsh fate which may overtake even the boldest
and most successful. It is highly satisfac-
tory that Mr. We hxinsois should be no longer
punished for a crime which it is proved he could not
by any possibility have committed ; and it is much
to be regretted, first, that ho was convicted upon
insufficient evidence, and, secondly, that the
memorial presented on his behalf at the time by
the leading bankers and merchants of the City
did not meet with the desired result. But while
condoling with Mr. WILKINSON on his individual
misfortunes, it is impossible to forgot the insane
folly, the wicked gambling, and the incredibly
painful consequences of the acts which led up
to the commercial collapse of a couple of
years ago. Gently nurtured girls are undergoing
humiliating toil ; promising and generous youths
are contending with the world in the spirit of
bitter foes ; age is being deprived of its comforts
and sickness of its necessaries, through the
cruel lust for gain and the unscrupulous
speculation a few years since. It was Mr.
WILKINSON'S evil fortune to be arraigned at
a time when men were smarting under a
general sense of commercial laxity ; and
after his conviction it was no uncommon thing to
hear him spoken of as the scapegoat of hundreds
of men who had been guilty of the same errors
as himself. But there will be no inclination to re-
try the Joint Stock manager for offences of
which he has already been acquitted by
law ; and the commiseration preferred him will be
sincere.

THE rapidly increasing immigration at Utah is
beginning to alarm the leaders of Mormonism. The
Salt Lake Telegraph is in distress about it. The
approach of Pacific Railroads from the east and
from the west wall attract large numbers
of people to the Prophet's Valley. These
settlers will seek to found homes and make
money, and the inducements that move them
will be of the general kind that take men into new
countries. The attraction of Utah has hitherto
been specific ; but the Gentiles are accumulating,
and ere long may be in sufficient numbers to form
a State and to ask admission into the Union.
When that time comes the Mormons will have
either to be contented with one wife or must raise
their tents and remove to some new territory
beyond the Rocky Mountains. Congress will
reject any constitution sanctioning polygamy.

ANOTHER ATLANTIC CABLE.

FRANCE is to have an Atlantic cable. A con-
cession has been granted for twenty years to
Baron D'ERLANOER and Mr. REUTER, and a line
will be put in hand at once, and laid as speedily
as may be from Brest to the United States. We
rejoice at this intelligence. When the old and new
worlds have not two but twenty means of electric
communication, when their privileges are brought
within the reach of the toiling peasant, when the
great peoples on either side of the Atlantic are in
us close and constant communication as if they were
in adjacent counties, then, and not till then, will the
greatest scientific achievement of modern times
have fulfilled its destiny. To flash one's hopes or
fears or anxieties through the cable is at present a
luxury for the rich alone ; but we trust the day is
not far distant when it will be within the reach
of all, and that commercial enterprise will thus
follow to its legitimate end that which it has so
nobly begun. The figures quoted the other day
at the meeting of the Cable Company showed a
progressive blunter* in receipts in proportion as
the rate charged for messages has been lowered,
and the lesson conveyed has not fallen unheeded
to the ground. To those who remember
the agony of hope and reverential awe with which

the Irish labourers at V.alentia regarded the mys-
terious coil which was to bring them nearer the
land of promise—who can recal the tearful anxiety
with which instant communication with absent
sons or daughters was spoken of as possible—to
reflect how little the brilliant scientific and com-
mercial success has done to make the glowing
anticipations realities, is to awaken a stinging fool-
ing of reproach. Surely matters will not bo per-
mitted to rest for long as they are. Surely the
example of France will act as a stimulant
on Britain. Cable-making has advanced to such
a stage of perfection, that the art of laying the

Tint RIGIITS or AMERICAN Crrizmis.—Tho
New York rapers of the 25th publish the following
despatch from Mr. Seward :—"Department of State,
Wellington, D. C., June 22, 18611. Sir,—The corm-
epondence recorded in your legation is full of remon-
strance and expostulation, which, by the President's di-
rection, 1 have addressed to her Majesty's government,
against the imprisonment of Mem. Warren and Cos-
tello ; the reasons have been fully and frequently assigned
why the judicial severity by the British government in
these casee he tended to embarrase the friendly relations
between the two countries, and to protract the political
excitement which has so greatly disturbed the pee
of the British realm, and of the British provinces
adjacent to the United States. On many occasions I
have bad the honour to urge upon the British govern-
ment them et salty of a modification of the laws of the
British n elm, in the ease of subjects of Great Britain who
have become citizens of the United States under our natu-
ralisation laws. By the Prmident's direction. also, I have
with much urgency invited the British government to
enter into an equal treaty with the United States on that
subject, as a proceeding which is essential for the re-
moval of discontents which, if suffered to continue,
might involve the two nations in reprisal or war.
Hitherto there proceeding" have been unfruitful,
although we have many friendly assurances of •
favourable disposition on the part of the British go-
vernment. In connection with this matter, the Presi-
dent now make it my duty to give you a copy of
a reeolution of the Howse of Representative of
the United State, which was passed cm the 15th of Anne.
1 further call your attention to the fact that • bill which
has rafted the House of Representatives is now engaging
the attention of the Senate, the effect of which bill, if it
shall become a law, will be to require the Presided to
make replieuls, in case of judicial denial in Gnat Britain
to nanuulised Americans of the rights which are °Wooded
by them to native American cinema. You will be eiximated
to read the revolution referred to, together with the In-
struction, to her Majesty's principal secretary for

MR. OL.4DSTONE FOR OXFORD.

A OONTIMPORAST mentions a rumour that
" some of the loading Liberals of the University of
" Oxford are discussing the propriety of putting
" Mr. GLADEITONI in nomination at the forth-
" coining election. " No such miaow has reached
us ; we sincerely hope the " leading Liberals" in
question will abandon the idea, if they ever enter-
tained it, of restoring the connection between
the chief of the Liberal party and a constituency
which, containing, as it undoubtedly does, one of
the most enlightened minorities in England, is
too deeply and widely penetrated with the spirit
of political and ecclesiastical reaction to be fitly
represented in Parliament by the head of a Liberal
Administration. The time may come when the
University of Oxford will send such a statesman as
Mr. OrLeDwroxx to the House of Commons ; but
when that time comes the University of Oxford
will itself represent the intelligent aristocracy of
the whole nation.

LORD Maim has taken leave of the electors of
Cockermouth, and informed them that before the
next general election ho shall have accepted the
office of Governor-General of India. The CHIEF
BRCRETARY Of IRELAND must be tired of a sedentary
life, and smitten with a reckless passion for ad-
venture. It may be easier for him to accept the

MR. 13R10117 "8 ADDRESS.

The following u the full text of Mr. Brighes addrese:
" To the Electors of Birmingham—Gentlemen : I have
reason to believe that it is your wish that I should be-
come a candidate for the honourable office of one of your
representatives in the parliament about to be elected ; I
therefore offer myself as a candidate, and ask for a re-
newal of the confidence you have so long re in me.
After twenty-live years of parliamentarye, andpos after
ten years spent in your service, I shall not enter
into an elaborate statement of my opinions on
public questions. I have been permitted to ex-
plain them no fully in your Town-hal on so many
°mance', that my views can scarcely be misunderstood
by any amongst you. The cause of parliamentary
reform has made great progress since the last general
election, but a good deal remains to be done. The
small boroughs are still to be got rid of, and the large
populations will still demand their fair share of political
power. The extension of the franchise has been granted
under circumstances which have acted with great and
seedling hardship upon the mall householders. I did all
I could to prevent this in the session of 11167, end I shall
be glad to assist in applying a remedy, if I have a seat
in the new parliament. I regard the question of
the ballot as of brat importance Whether I look
to the extend vs owlof eileetiona. or to the

BOW-STREET.

Jomph Smith was again brought up on remand,
with stealing the money orders for the Lucky
cßhisagrttteries.
Mr. Hyett appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Abrams
for tie defence.
The case for the prosecution so far being completed,
Mr. Abrams addressed Mr. Flowers. He said that at
present nearly all the evidence against the prisoner
was bused on the evidence of Mr. Seliabot, who called
himself an expert in handwriting. Mr. Abrams would
now produce another expert to contradict Mr. Schabot.
Alexander Rae, lithographic writer and fae-similist,
stated he had been in his profession for twenty-five years.
He had no doubt whatever that the handwriting on the lot-
tery tickets, and the Post-office orders was not the same as
the prisoner's signature on the blank piece of paper. Had
seen the prisoner write in the morning, and be had not
the command over his hand to write as well as the signa-
ture on the orders. Mr. Rae examined them all care-
fully with magnifying glassee.
Mr. Abrams produced a lottery ticket that did belong
to the prisoner, and the witness at once recognised it as
the same writing as that on the blank piece of paper. The
envelope picked up in the coffee-house did not bear the
prisoner's handwriting either.
Mr. Flowers said that at present it was a charge of
forgery against the prisoner, and the evidence entirely
depended upon the comparison of the handwritings, which
argument was for a jury's decision. The priemer might
even be charged with larceny in the form of stealing the
bits of paper.
Mr. Hyett Laid that the Poet-office authorities were as-
sured that their men delivered all the letters correctly.
Mr. Flowers committed the prisoner for trial at the
Central Criminal Court, taking same bail as before.

ME. KNOX'S DISCRETION.

ON Friday last, a young woman named Zefferey
applied to the magistrate at Marlborough-street
for assistance under these circumstances :—She
was one of the servants at the Café Rkgence,
Tichborne-street, having charge of the linen. On
Thursday night, about 1 o'clock, she was awakened
by finding a man in her bed. She seized the in-
truder, who was assaulting her with a criminal
intent, and her cries succeeded in bringing the
mistress of the house and several waiters into her
room. Instead of giving her assistance, the
waiters did all in their power to enable the man to
escape. The man did escape, leaving behind him
an umbrella, which had a crest upon it. That
umbrella would enable her to identify the person
who had assaulted her, but on applying for it she
was told she could not have it. What she
now wanted was an order from the ma-
gistrate to have the handle of the umbrella
(the umbrella was broken) given up to her.
The magistrate decided that he had no
power to grant the applicant's request. We must
suppose that this decision rests on some legal
grounds, but it is desirable that these should be
fully known, as the decision really hivolves a point of
very considerable importance in our criminal juris-
prudence. Suppose, for example, that instead of
criminal assault it had been a case of robbery, of
grievone bodily injury, or even of murder, and
that the person robbed or injured, or the friends of
the murdered person, bad a fragment of something
belonging to the criminal, a torn piece of hat, or
handkerchief, a part of a tool or weapon broken in
the scuffle, and that the other part had fallen
into the hands of people who refused to give it up
to the police. Could not a warrant be at once
issued for its surrender, as essential to the ends of
justice—as part of the evidence helping to identify
the criminal, and directly connecting him with
the crime ? And would not those who refused to
give up such an important piece of evidence be
regarded as abetting the criminal ? It seems diffi-
cult to imagine that there is no adequate legal
provision to meet such a case as this. The
success or failure of justice might in fact very
much depend on securing evidence of this
sort at once. In one of the great bank
robberies about three years ago, for instance,
a chisel belonging to one of the robbers was broken
into the lock of a safe. The broken piece was
found on examination in the lock, and the criminal
was identified by the circumstance that this exactly
fitted into a broken chisel found in his pocket.
Suppose that in making his escape the robber had
been seen to drop a chisel, and the people who
picked it up refused to deliver it to the officers of
justice. If those who had been robbed applied to
a magistrate to assist them in securing it would
he be compelled to refuse the application ?

INITIXIDATION AND TOE BALLOT.

Commenting on the case of Wareham, where Mrs.
Burton, the proprietress of Bare Regis, has issued a man-
date to her tenantry to vote for Mr. Drax, one of the con-
servative candidates for Dorsetahire, the Deity News re-
commends that all such cases should be carefully watched.
end authentic information about them laid up for future
use. The excitement of the coming election will probably
produce them in unusual number, and when they come to
be brought under the consideration of parliament no
question will arise as to the magnitude of the evil, and
very little doubt as to its remedy.

WI. NONSIUN AND TOM LORDS.

Remarking on Kr. Ha man's address t, the electors of
Stroud and his letter to the Seetmem, the IMilie Newt
says that the constancy which other men display towards
their first love the right hon. gentleman exhibits towards
the object of his early artesian. He began his political
career as an ecclesiastical reformer, and his first step
towards a reform of the Lords now is the expulsion of the
bishops from the House of Peers; his next, a creation of
life peers ; and his third the selection of • saute out of
the whole. Mr. Horatian having no satisfactory mode of
electing a senate to propose, the Daily News puma it by
without comment. The principle of life peers it ap-
proves of, but it thinks that Mr. Harman should aim at
getting rid of the mere stop-gaps, as well as endeavour
to elect for life those who would add dignity to the
order. The whole question was, however, more fitted
for discussion than legislation. The Daily NOWd does not
expect that the ecclesiastical grievance of Ireland will be
traded with that prudence and wisdom which would
make persons indisposed to raise the old question, " What
shall be dose with the Lords ? "

The Herald asks if it is true, as affirmed by Mr. Hors-
man, that the idea of an hereditary chamber is oat of
harmony with the times, at once dependent and un-
popular, and it answers in the negative. The objection
of Mr. Borman to the style " My Lord Bishop," because
he never heard of " My Lord Apostle," is, in the estima-
tion of the Herald, "language appropriated from the
rinks platform." He wishes to make the House of
Lords more representative but even he, " with the free
audacity that belongs to him," cannot originate a plan.

KR RIZOIrr I A.DDILEIS.

It will be at the point of million between the Lords
and the Commons that the crisis will cause, says the titer,
and it is in order to render the situation as little critical
as possible that Mr. Bright prepares the mind of the
country to grasp fearlessly and hopefully the plough to
which it must sooner or later put its hand. He believes
it will be well for protertantimon and well for Christianity
in thee. kingdoms that the church of the Irish minority
should be diasetabliabed. If this conviction spreads and

deepens amongst our countrymen, the peers will seek in
vain further to delay the tardy but substantial act of
justice which is now the first necessity of the British
Stato.
