OUR PARIS LETTER.

(ram oos OWN CORIUM/MI:NT. )

PARIS. MONDAY ETILMNO.

The Press. speaks of a manifesto from the Em-
peror as likely to appear in the Monittur before the
Chamber meets again, in the form of a letteraddressed
either to the Minister of State or the Minister of
the Interior. This news appears to me very
probable. The present situation is too insipid to
last long, and if it be true as everybody says, that
war is happily " impossible," something theatrical
in regard to home politics is very forcibly " indi-
cated."

The Prance, defending the Jesuits against the
repetition of what it calls a vulgar charge against
them, that they are the prompters of moat of the
illiberal acts of the Pope, says incidentally that a
very proximate nomination of the Archbishop of
Paris to the dignity of Cardinal will refute, in the
most practical manner, the rumour that the Jesuits
have stood in the way of his elevation.
The Prase affirms that the Cabinet of the Tuileries
has addressed a note to that of Vienna, inquiring
whether it would be disposed to join France in
demanding a revision of the treaties of 1815. A
" simple diplomatic protest " against the recent
Russian decree, obliterating the very name of
Poland, is all that France proposes at present on
that head.

The Bourse continues firm, and it is not doubted
that the " bean" will be signally defeated at the
ripurise des primes to-morrow. Rente closed for

'the Osbervatore Romano of to-day reiterates the
statement that Italian emissaries are present in
Rowse seeking to encourage desertion among the
Papal troops. It says that the police have recently
arrested two Garibahlians and other individuals
who were pursuing that object. Emissaries are
still leaving several Italian cities for Rome, but

their intrigues.

by the usual series of eight " opera concerts," on suc-

rendered peculiarly interesting and important by its
including two great works of Mendelssohn—his recently-

WISLEYAN MISSIONARY SOCIETY.—THIS DAY.
—The annual meeting of the above society was he]
thii forenoon in Exeter Hall, which, as usual upon
these occasions, wad densely crowded, the platform being
occupied with Wesleyan ministers from all parts of the
country. Mr. Isaac Holden, M.P., occupied the chair.
The secretary read a very lengthy report, detailing
the operations of the society for the past year,
at home and abroad, which bad been of the most en-
-ooaragmg character. The total receipts of the society for
the year had been 149,3711. 15a. Ild. Both the home and
foreign reeciptshave increased during the past year. The
expenditure bad been 144,8631. 14s. lid., leaving a balance
of 4,7081. Is. The chairman then addressed the meeting,
which was subsequently addressed by a number of the
leading ministers in the Wall= body, and the report
was agreed to.

POPE AND PAGAN.

Tan Dean of WESTMINSTER once made Convoca-
tion angry by describing with disagreeable mi-
nuteness the Pagan origin of the ecclesiastical
costumes which are so precious to Ritualists, and
which create such a stir in these times. In a
paper he has published in one of the May maga-
zines he subjects some characteristics of the
Papacy to the same trying process. The
effect to many will be curious. The Pore
in his association with the old classical world, is
not at all like the Pore as the chief oracle of Chris-
tendom. In Dean STANLEY'S representation he
is a museum of curiosities, and the ceremonies to
which importance is attached are insignificant. In
these things the Hove FATHER has acted " merely
" as the shoal which like the island in his own
" Tiber has arrested the straws of former ages as
" they floated down the stream of time." The white
gown which is the ordinary dress of a Pope, is the
common classical dress of all ranks in Roman society,
worn before the difference between lay and clerical
c Altura° had sprung up ; and perpetuated in thehead
of the clergy from their longer adherence to ancient
habits. The formidable crosier of great ecclesiastics
is not the symbol of the priesthood against the
State, nor even the crook of the pastor over his
flock, but simply the walking stick, the
staff of the old man, of the presby-
ter, such as appears always in the ancient
drassa of Greece and Rome, and in the famous
riddle of Moiros. It is the symbol of old age
and nothing besides. The chair d atehe, the

THE POLICE COURT&

CLERICENWELL.
John Smith, a rough, powerful-looking yo rag man, de-
scribed as a sweep, residing at No. 27, Queen-street,
Islington, wee charged before Mr. Barker with violently
assaulting Mrs. Jemima Just, and stealing from her per-
son a gold watch and chain, of the value of 171., at
Mouton-road, on the 17th ult.
Mrs. Just said—l am the wife of Leonard Just, and re-
side at No. 40, Halliford-road, Islington. About •
quarter-past 3 o'clock in the afternoon of Friday, the 17th
tilt, I was returning home from a walk ; and when at the
corner of the Morton-road and Rotherfield-street I saw
four rough-looking men, of whom the prisoner is one,
loitering there. That is about 300 yards from my resi-
dence. One of the four men I have mentioned jumped on
me, held me tightly by the neck (taking me by the neck
sideways), when the prisoner seized hold of my watch-
chain, pulled my watch and chain clean away, and then
ran off. Until the prisoner had got away I was held, and
then his companions ran off. I was squeezed so
violently round the neck that I was very much hurt,
though I bad no mark on my throat. At the time I was
held round the throat I felt a choking sensation, and that
feeling continued the whole of the evening. When
they loosened their hold on my 'throe, and ran away, I
screamed " Murder " and " Thieves " as well as I could.
A number of persons oame to my assistance, but it was
not until a quarter to five that I saw a police-constable. I
saw the prisoner again on the following Monday standing
outside the Half Moon public-house, Essex-road, but when
I found a constable he had gone. I have again seen him
once near the spot. lam perfectlysure that the prisoner
is the man that stole my watch and chain, end I picked
him out from nine or ten others in a room at the police-I
station last night. My watch and chain, which ere of the
value of 171., have not been recovered.
Police-constable Newbold, 151 N, said—l went up
the Essex-road last evening, about a quarter past eight,
and saw the prisoner standing outside the Bed
Lion public-house. I told him I should take
him into custody for being concerned with others not in
custody in stealing • gold watch and chain from • lad
yesterday fortnight. He said, " Not me ; I was at work
at the time for Mr. Myers, the sweep, in Elliott'e-pisse."
I took the prisoner to the police-station and fetched the
lady ; and the prisoner was placed in the library at the
police-station with six or seven other men, and the lady
then went and pointed him out, saying, " That is the man
that stole my watch." She had no hesitation in the
matter, and went straight to him and pointed him out.
The prisoner, in &newer to the charge, said—l was at
work at the time that was done, and I have witnesses
that can prove it, but they are not now in attendance.
Mr. Barker committed the primmer to the Central
Criminal Court for trial, and refused to allow bail

ABYSINIA.

THE letters from Abyssinia which have come to
hand to-day reach to the 7th of April. The rare-
fied atmosphere had begun to tell upon the soldiers
who complained that they could not run without
panting, and some of whom fancied in conse-
quence that their lungs were affected. On the
;nd of April the supply of biscuit had run
short, the tea and sugar were nearly ex-
pended, and the rum was gone. The people,
however, were ready with corn. Abyssinian
armies always travel with an immense proportion
of women, who grind the wheat in hand-mills.
The story is told that when the European plan for
preparing flour was shown to THEODORE, he shook
his head, and said that the system ought never to
be introduced into Abyssinia, as grinding corn
kept the women of his country out of a good
deal of mischief. The late KING seems to have
been consistent enough in this respect, for through-
out his dominions every description of individual
labour has fallen upon the weaker.sex. One of
our correspondents, referring to the dreaded cha-
racter of the KING, repeats a remark of the country
people that a thousand of his soldiers dare not
show themselves on their plateau, but that
" if the terrible THEODORE himself were to come,
" they must give him whatever he might ask."
A letter had been received from Mr. Ratenue, in
which that gentleman reported that Tacoma'
had said to him, "If I were what I once was, I
" should have known before this what the English
" were coming for." THEODORE had pressed Mr.
RAMSAY as to the number of our men,
and had been told that it was 12,000. The
prisoners had been released from their fetters, with
the exception of the Germans, who were let loose
to work in the day time, but were kept chained at
, night. While THIODORE personally was
aonsi-
dered by the peasants as a being above retribution,
; his soldiers, by whom many cruelties and spells-
' time had been committed, were objects of detests-
, tion upon whom vengeance should be wreaked,
and this feeling had probably prevented deseritons

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.—(THIS DAY.)
Fresh tip to our market to-day the arrivals of English
wheat were very limited ; nevertheless the condition of the
samples was good. Scarcely any basin' sr was transacted,
but In the few sales concluded rather less money we, ac-
cepted, although we do not alter the quotations.
There was a good show of foreign sample, on the stands
the balk of which was of good quality. Milers operated
with great caution, and the trade ruled very dull, at barely
stationary prices.
Fine malting barley was held at extreme rates, and
grinding and distilling qualified supported the fall prices
of last week.

The malt trade was quiet, but no change took plies in
prime. The show of samples was r►ther extensive.
There was a good supply of oats. and well-conditioned
samples sold readily ou former terms, but inferior parcels
were much neglected.
Beans were a slow sale, on former terms.

Rye was unchanged in value.
Raise was dull, at stationary prices.
Peas met a dull inquiry, at late rates.
Very little business was passing in English seeds, and
the quotations are altogether nominal. Linseed and rape-
seed were dull and drooping. No change took place in
cakes.

The flour trade war very dull, but late currencies were
maintained for both town and country marks. Foreign
was held on former terms. _ _

The floating-grain cargo trade has been less active, and
the quotations have not been supported. There has been
a considerable quantity of wheat on sale off the coast,
offering • good choice to buyers. Sales, however, could
only be effected at • reduction of 641. to la. Cargoes
on passage have been in fair demand at last week's
currencies. We quote Ghirka arrived 66.. 6d.

aations in maize have taken place at • reduction of 6d. to

muti, 40s. 6d ; Lombardy, 40s. ; mired American,
40s. ; yellow, 41• ; Egyptian, 365. per 480 lbs. Barley

quantity on sale. Danubian, arrived, 345. ; Walachian,
3b. 6d. ; Enos, on passage, 345. ; Azoff, to be shipped,
325. 641. per 4001 b.. Rye has been neglected, and no .alai
have been reported. Banat oats, arrived, have realised

the quotations for beans are nominally unaltered.

THE ROYAL ACAD2MY.

THE pillars of Church and State, as well as the
shining lights of the Arta, Literature, and the
Sciences, are accustomed to deliver themselves of a
variety of ex officio utterances and prophecies at
the annual dinner of the Ro3 al Academy ; and the
brilliant gathering of Saturday formed no excep-
tion to this well established rule. But the diffi-
culties of the Government despoiled the dinner of
some of its oratorical attractiveness ; and "tho un-
" expected detention from town of the Plume
" MINISTER" robs the newspaper reader this
morning of at least one dexterous and amus-
ing speech. For it is no disparagement to
the Academicians to say that the great people
assembled each year at their table speak
quite as much to the country as to their
hosts. The Prince of Wstes's hearty assertion
that " the Irish pe )ple are loyal to the core,
" whatever may be said either in this country
" or any other ;" the Duke of CAMBRIDGE'S cor-
roborative verdict, after many years' experience,
that " the Irish are a most pleasant people to
" deal with ;" the interesting reminiscence of
Lord CAIRNS, the only member of the
Government who spoke, connecting the Lord LYND-
HURST of yesterday with the Sir JOSHUA
REYNOLDS who founded the Academy exactly
a century ago ; the amiable cross-firing between
the Archbishop of Your and the PRESIDENT
of the ACADEMY as to the opinion of
anonymous artists on the exhibition of the year ;
Sir RODERICK MURCHISON'S gallant hope that at
its ensuing anniversary the Academy will "instead
"of the late Dr. LIVINGSTONE, as announced
"in its catalogues of last year, exhibit the
" LIVINGSTONE himself ; " and Mr. PROUDE'S
comparison of the profession of Literature to the
Cave of Adullam and his hints at the great possi-
bilities open to it—more especially, as it seemed,
the scorning as unworthy " the popular applause
" and the largo cheque" too often hungered after
now—if it, too, had a Royal Academy, were the
most characteristic utterances of the night.
Despite the unprecedented number of pictures sent
in (2,683) and the small quantity (896) it has been
found possible to hang ; despite, too, Sir FRANCIS
I GRANT'S condemnation of "the ill-advised artist
1" who spoke of this exhibitionas below theaverage,"
the general opinion is that, fastidiously selected
though they be, the productions shown this May
barely touch inthe aggregate thestandard previously
reached by British art. Next year the
Academicians hope to entertain in their new
rooms at Burlington House, and though
their anniversary dinner can hardly increase in
popular esteem, we may fairly hope that increased
facilities will furnish an increased stimulus to young
artists, and that increased excellence will accom-
pany enlarged accommodation. Further, both
diners and readers may be satisfied that, as the
LORD CHANCELLOR rather grandiloquently and
needlessly remarked, any attempt to interfere with
or oppose either the Academy or its hospitality will
be, if not " narrowly watched for" at least
" strenuously opposed."

INDIA.
A number of the leading European and native
gentlemen of Bombay attended at Government-
house, Malabar Point, at the invitation of his
Excellency the Governor, on the 7th April, to
consider the practicability of holding an Exhibition
on a large scale in Bombay next year. The
Governor said that there were three ques-
tions which he was desirous of submitting :
the first was as to whether the present
was a proper time to get up an exhibition of works
of art and industry, and if so, when it should
take place. After some consideration it was re-
solved that the Exhibition should take place in
January, 1869. With regard to the funds necessary
for carrying out the project, the Governor said that
he felt confident that the Secretary of State would
grant a sum to meet the preliminary expenses, and
that the admission fees would cover the remaining
expenditure ; but inasmuch as it would be advisable
to provide against any possible deficiency, he sug-
gested that a number of gentlemen should guarantee
a certain amount, for which in the event of loss
they would each be liable pro rata. In order to
take the financial question into consideration a
committee of European and native gentlemen was
appointed, who were to report on a future day as to
the funds that would be required and who would
be the guarantors.
It is now stated that the engagement with the
Bazootees near Kohat terminated in their being
completely defeated, and that they suffered a
heavy loss in killed and wounded. Some addi-
tional punishment seems to be contemplated; at
present they are quiet.
A petition to parliament praying that the order
for the enhanced rates of Indian postage may be
rescinded is to be presented on behalf of the Ma-
dras Chamber of Commerce.
Letters from Dr. Livingstone up to the 2nd
March, 1867, from Bembo, N. W. of Lake Nyassa,
are published in the Bombay papers. A traveller,
supposed to be the doctor, is reported to have been
seen at Lake Tanganyika in October or Novecmber.

STATEMENT OF THE PREMIER.

In the House of Commons this evening,
Mr. DISRAELI announced to a very full
house the course which the government
felt it to be their duty to take in
consequence of the vote of last Thurs-
day. If the government were entitled
to dissolve parliament when they acceded
to office or when they passed the Reform
Bill, there was nothing in their admi-
nistration which disentitled the government
to the exercise of that right. (Cheers.) The ques-
tion of the Irish church bad not been hinted
at at the hustings, and it was their
profound conviction that the opinion of
the country was different from the decision of
the House of Commons. (Cheers.) He repudiated
the taunt that the government were actuated by
an unworthy clinging to office. It was said that
they were governed by a minority. If that
were so, the taunt fell upon the House of Com-
mons, and not on the government. After the
vote on Thursday night he asked her
Majesty for an audience, which was graciously
granted to him on the afternoon of the day on
which the decision was come to. The advice
he gave to her Majesty was that an ap-
peal should be made to the country. (Hear,
hear.) At the same time, he stated that ho
and his colleagues were ready to resign. He ten-
dered his resignation to her Majesty at the same
time. He had an interview with her Majesty
next day. Her Majesty said that she
was not prepared to accept the resignation.
He then told her Majesty that he would appeal to
the country, and that he would make that ap-
peal in the autumn of this year. He inti-
mated at the same time that that ap-
peal should, in his opinion, be made to
the new constituencies, and that he would en-
deavour, with the aid of parliament, to complete
the necessary business to enable that ap-
peal to be so made at that period.
The right hon. gentleman further intimated that
he would not do anything to obstruct the progress
of Mr. Gladstone's resolutions, but that he
could not accept the resolution he moved on Thurs-
day night. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. GLADSTONE rose, and was left speaking.

exclusions, onpsnised by the National Sunday League,
took plies yesterday, when upwards of 700 persons pro-
ceeded to Box-hill and Dorking per Brighton Railway,
from Victoria and London-bridge stations. The excur-
sionists were seemed in two special trains joined into
one at theCroydon junction, the fare both ways being axed
at the low Osiers of L. tkl. The train wired at Dorking
sill a.m., and the eictusionists, consisting princip.lly al
artisans and their fatalities, at once dispersed themselves
to visit the many pleasant and interesting places with
which the locality abounds. .

BETTING IN LONDON.- SATURDAY.

Nearly the whole of the morning was devoted tosetiling, which,
as may be supposed, was of a very heavy character. The little
speculation that did take place was almost devoid of feature, the
quotations oa the various events being much the same as before.
Yor the Chester Cup eto 2 wts snapped at about Paul Jones
wherever It could be obtained, and subsequently 9 to 4 was
Wren , the otherherses mentioned were supported for small sum
only. Speculation on the Great Northern Handicap was of a
very limited description, but of the horses mentioned Fortunlo
and blinkhoolle were in most request. Scarcely anything was
done on the Derby, the only transactions being 700 to 100 taken
about Itosleruclan, while 10 to 1 was laid and offered againetßlue

MUSIC.

OPERA.

La Traviata was given here on Saturday night,
when Mdlle. Christine Nilsson made her first ap-
pearance this season as Violetta—the opera and the
character being those in which this charming singer made
her &NI before a London audience, at Her Majesty's
Theatre in June hut. The reception of ?ddlle. Nilsson
on Saturday night, on her entry in the first scene, would
probably have been quite as enthusiastic as It was from
the mere recollection of her previous admirable per-
formances hers, without the additional prestige recently
aoquired by this admirable artist in her Parisian re-
presentation of Opholia.

William' Jackson, house agent, 90 Mount-street, Gros-
venor-square, was charged with obtaining • carriage,
valued at 15W., and also • sum of 3501. from Mrs. Christina
Fan-men, 63, Prince's-gate, Kensington, by means of false
and fraudulent pretences.
Mrs. Airman, an elderly lady, • widow, said ahe em-
ployed the prisoner to dispose of • carriage for her. The
carriage cost 1701., and the prisoner said he knew • gentle-
man in Grosvenor-square who had an organ for sale worth
5001., and he would take the • at 1501, if she would
give 3501. more. She declined en ring into the specula-
tion, but the prisoner said he could obtain 5001. or SOW for
it, and subsequently 'hewed tier a letter from Poole,
offering 5001. for the organ if put into repair. Upon this
the gave him a cheque for 3501., and the carriage was sent
for. She afterwards discovered that the organ belonged
to Jackson himself, and that it had been purchased by
I him for 101. at • sale. The gentleman at PooU afterwards
declined to purchase, so she had lost her carriage and the
3501. She heard that the carriage had been sold by
Jackson for 201. She had been offered 401. for it by a
aoschbuilder. The witness said she had sold • house
through Jackson, and had realised • profit by the
transaction.
Mr. Imam, organ buildee, said the organ would seat
851. to put into repair and it might lien be worth 1501.
It was at ppresent at his factory.

TOE MURDER OF A STATION MASTER

On Saturday morning, Thomas Wells, a porter
in the employ of the London, Chatham, and Dover Rail-
way Company, was placed at the bar of the Town-ball,
Dover, before Mr. Churchward, thefmayor, and a full
bench of magistrates, charged with the wilful murder of
Mr. Edward Arthur Walsh, the superintendent of the
Priory station of that railway. Mr. Minter, solicitor,
appeared for the prisoner ; William Cleather, soli-
citor to the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Com-
pany, conducted the prosecution.
The prisoner, a strong-built young fellow of florid com-
plexion, listened to the evidence without saying a word
or moving a muscle but it was easy to see that he felt the
full gravity of his situation.
The prisoner was remanded.
The inquest was held in the afternoon. The evidence
was chiefly a repetition of that given before the magis-
trates, but an additional witness was examined—Charles
Sinclair, a boy 13 or 14 years of age, who maid—On Friday
morning I wire at the Priory station, and I saw Wells
there. I heard him say, " I will shoot the old —lf he
says much more to me to-day." He said that about half-
past 6 o'clock in the morning. I had been at work in the
station all night. I was present the day before when the
station-master and Wells had a row, and I know that he
meant the station-master when he said he would shoot the
old —. The dispute was about firing off a pistol. I was
the only person there when he made use of the threat.
The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against

THE DZICOOMATIO PEWIT OP AMOOHCA.

The Times regards the brief summary which has
reached England of the principles adopted by the National
Democratic Convention as, if accurate, sealing the doom
of the party. The subjection of the United States Bonds
to tqw dal taxation would be simply a violation of the
contract del.berately made between the nation and its
creditors, and as such it has been condemned by h
vast n a,ority of the republican party, Inl at
the CI icago convention. But a greater breach of
faith still is shown as respects the agreement as to the
jajment in currency of all the bonds of all public debt,,
except when payment in coin is expressly stipulated. As
a purely legal question of construction no unprejudiced
person would hesitate to say that the obligation of pay-
ment created under the act of 1862 was an obligation to
Fay in what was money at the time the act wits passed
—that was to say, in coin. The argument, however, does
not rest there. Every successive secretary of the Tres-
fury has, while borrowing money, declared that
the national obligation was to repay it in gold.
The question is set at rest, moreover, by the
fact that when the act of 1862 was passing through
Congress, a clause was added to it providing that
all the Customs duties should be paid in gold, which should
he set al•art for the payment of the interest and principal
on the national debt. The democratic " platform," as an-
nounced by the Atlantic Cable, is a forewarning of (!emo-
cratic nth at in the autumn, and must be followed by the
continued exclusion from office, if not by the lasting dis-
rupticn, of the democratic party.
The Lady News regards the programme of the conven-
tion as showing that the better mind of the democratic
Fatty is not in the ascendant, as the selection of Chief-
Jetties Chase had seemed to denote. It is hardly possible
that Mr. Chase can consent to stand on such a platform.
Ho is probably anxious for election, and is one of the
fittest men in the union for the highest petition ; but he
tan hardly so far falsify his past career as to accept Mr.
1 endlcte,,'s platform in order to bay the supp-irt of Mr.
l'endleton's friends. This policy of partial repudiation
throws away all chance for the party in the eastern
Watts, and renders it certain that General Grant will be
elected.

BOY CRIMINALS.

Tim two wretched lads who tried to murder the
poor woman in the City are sentenced to seven years'
penal servitude and eighteen months' imprison-
ment, respectively. The ruthless cruelty and
cold-blooded atrocity of their crime were re-
markable only when the ages of its perpe-
trators were considered. That one of these
would-be murderers is a child of twelve, and the
other a few years older, is a fact to set
psychologists wondering, and to humiliate the
devout. It is well enough to point to criminal lite-
rature and to cite " The City Detective" and "The
" Young Apprentice," as works dilating on the
exploits of highwaymen and found in the posses-
sion of these boys. But these things to bring
about such aggravated offences as they com-
mitted must fall upon ground already ripe
for evil. The house was swept and gar-
nished before the spirits took possession ; and
the problem for the moralist is how was their
depravity fostered and developed by circum-
stances. It was actually put forward in extenua-
tion of the deed of blood for which they were
sentenced yesterday, that they had committed
burglary and robbery before, and that an

A NNW BOMB OF COMMONS.

The Daily News considers the British Holm of Com-
mons the worst-housed representative ase nb'y in the
world. As to any large proportion of the members hearing
the debates and taking part in the actual deliberations of
parliament, as simple-minded constituents believe them to
be doing, it is physically impossible. The house has been
constructed on the assumption that it is a great thing if
one-half the members do their duty, and the inadequacy
of the present arrangements will be still more seriously
felt in the new parliament. The plan laid before the
house by Mr. Barry for the correction of the present evils
has received the unanimous approval of the committee,
and the Daily News thinks it will be approved both by the
House and the country.

says:

The pilgrimage of the Tcheques to this place has been
accomplished according to the programme. M. Fritsch
spoke from the top of the Husstein (rock of John Huss)
in the following terms :—" The visit paid to the tomb of
the national heroes will give us force in our struggle for
the liberty of Bohemia against despotism. We do not re-
gard the unity of Germany with any jealous eye; only
let Germany accord to Bohemia her national existence.",:

THE DRAMATIC COLLEGE FETE.

TEE pleasant fooling which actors and actresses
annually permit themselves in the name of
charity, promises to be in full vigour at the
Crystal Palace on Saturday. Madlle. SemeEmEa
is to preside at the St. James's Theatre stall, and
Mrs. HOWARD Psta. will sing a seen from La
Grande Ducheeee. Mr. PAUL BEDFORD emerges
from his retirement to aid Mr. TOOLE in
making nonsense for the million, and a
variety of gentlemen whose names are less known
to the public are to perform in the burlesque
RICILARDSON'fi Show. The Crystal Palace will be,
of course, crammed, and the various City and West-
end contingents that have, or think they have,
an interest in the drama, will flock to the
various stalls, and will be skilfully coaxed out
of their money by young ladies whose
zeal for the cause they have in hand is as impul-
sive and unrestrained as the most ardent supporter
of the College could desire. But we confess we
should like to have some clearer understanding as
to the general opinion of the profession upon the
institution on behalf of which so many generous and
unconventional efforts are made. Numerous as are
the names advertised to take part in the proceedings
of Saturday, the popular actors and actresses who
are unmentioned are more numerous still. Are
there any reasons, real or fancied, for so many of the
most distinguished artists in the profession holding
aloof ? Is the College managed to the satisfaction
of all, are its funds judiciously administered, are
the numbers it supports proportionate to the sums
subscribed ? A plain statement of accounts, show-
ing exactly how much has been received from the
general public, how much from professional and
private benefactions, and how much from festivals,
dinners, and balls, together with the number
of pensioners relieved and the amount
given to each, might be easily furnished,
and would be a pleasantly practical supplement to
the more playful appeals of Saturday. The Dramatic
College has been before the public for several
years, and has the sympathy and good wishes of
the public. It would be satisfactory, however, if
more of the leading members of the profession
showed an active interest in its management and
welfare, and if we knew the extent to which the
" poor player" is benefited by each year's good-
natured display.

BTIZIT 017TRAOES.

The Times draws attention to the increasing prevalence
of street outrages in London, and gives a catalogue which
somewhat disturbs our contemi orary's confidence in the
security of London life. It seems that day after day, at
all hours, in public thoroughfares and at railway stations,
men and women can be violently assaulted and robbed as
effectually as if they were on a lonely moor, in regions
where policemen are unknown. Such offences as those to
which the Times refers are simply the highway robbery of
former times, practised under different circumstances.
Some strenuous efforts should be made to restrain this new
outbreak of the London " roughs." So far as the police
have any power of surveillance over the criminal classes
they may properly exercise it with the utmost strictness at
such a time. But our contemporary supposes the weak-
ness of our law in this direction will render all such exer-
tions inadequate to the occasion, and that we must rely on
the deterrent effect of punishment. At any rate, it win
be • disgrace to our c►pacity for administration if the
streets of London are not promptly restored to their cus-
tomary security.

REWRITE OFFICERS AND TUE FRANCHISE.

The Telegraph says of the Revenue Officers' Disabilities
Removal Bill, that it is a measure of enfranchisement
against which little can be said in these days, when intel-
ligence and independence are regarded as prime requisites
for the possession of the franchise. The heads of
departments are almost entirely opposed to the opinions
expressed by the Commissioners of Customs and Inland
Revenue, and the Post-office authorities avow their con-
viction that the passing of the measure would tend mate-
rially to improve the service by checking agitation and
creating a feeling of confidence and content. Neverthe-
less, the government will, the Telegraph is informed,
oppose the bill in the Upper House ; but, as polities do
not enter into the matter at all, the Lords may, with a
perfectly good grace, defer to the judgment of the Com-
mons.
