and that the coot of maintaining each children should
be thrown—first, on the Union ; next, on the parish,
if the child have a settlement "in any; thirdly, on
the parent to the extent of his capacity.
To a plan like this, though we foresee considerable
difficulties in the way of its successful working,
there is not much to object. But we protest
against any scheme for throwing the burden of
maintaining vagrant and destitute children on the
Consolidated Fund. All the world is satis-
fied of the benefit of the new Poor-law test t but
what test is to be applied in the case of Am
children ? We have the utmost respect for the ma
and benevolence of the advocates of reformation.
So long es they depend on voluntary exertion they
command our complete support. But if they are to
embrace all vagrant and destitute children, and are
to drain money from the State, the utmost cautions
is required. For it is easy to imagine a system se
extravagant and demoralising as shall excite a
feeling of impatience and discontent which will
throw back the cause of education half a century.
Let us be cautious.

THE " SECRET TREATY."

.

Notwithstanding Lord Palmeraton's emphatic
disclaimer of any knowledge of a Secret Treaty between
Austria and France, relative to the Italian State., the Preis
of to-day hints at approaching dieclasuree, and alllrum
ill
belief that Mr. Disraeli is literally and substantially
correct."
The Constitutiontiel has the following observations on Mr.
Disraeli's assertion
" The Queen's ministers were only explicit on one single
point—the pretended secret treaty by 'shirk the Western
Powers were asserted to have guaranteed to Auatria her
Italian provinces—that is a last year's fable revived by Mr.
Memel' to adorn his speech with some oratorical effects ; but
it is only a fable. The truth ix, that in conformity with its
policy of peace and moderation, France informed Austria,
during the war, that it was not her intention to seek to make
conquests In any part of Europa, and that consequently
Femme would not disturb Austria in her Italian pommies&
But this seems to us a widely different thing front the Ln•
guago attributed to the Emperor's gremmment by Mr.
Disraeli. Between not attacking a power and engaging to
defend it—between not desiring to appropriate its poesearkete
and undertaking to guarantee them in their integrity, than
Is the width of an &by..."

Board of Trade, has directed a further inquiry to be instituted

maw cruelty, and vanity that ever figured as the principal
perscaage in &drama. Mr. Murdoch left his own sphere to
endeavour to represent this character to the life. He has
evidently tried bard, and has succeeded as well aa meet men
do who attempt to do something with intractable material.
The artist and the common labourer in such a case stand on
the male footing. Mr. Murdoch, without a rival in his own
department, performed Claude Molnolto as well as a down
mete-dramatic actors whom we could name would have done
it. We shorld like to have seen this really matador terminate
his engagement in a part which would have given his talents
full scope. In the meantime let us hope that he will return
to rejoice the lovers of genuine comedy with representation
of charmers which be alone can give.

Reynolds played provokingly well and ill. Mr. Chippendale
struggled manfully with a miserable, part. The met of the

evacuation of Greece by the troops of France and
England will be acoomplished by the 20th or 25th of

HUNGARY.

The Emperor and Empress of Austria, according
to letters from Vienna, arc expected at Trieste on

stated that the journey of the court to Hungary will
take place as soon as the preparations for the fetes
ordered at Pesth and at Ofen for the reception of
their Majesties shall have been completed. No one
in the Austrian political circles doubts but that the
Emperor will signalise his presence in the capital of
Hungary by a general amnesty, similar to that
which has been granted in the Lombardo-Venetian

THE POLICE COURTS

BOW-STREET.

Jolts Hewett, in occasional employ ea • labourer end pot-
man, was charged on euspiciou of stealing a coat and cloak
front 16, Howard-street, Strand.
It
.appeared that one morning in September lasts man an-
swenng the prisoner's description railed at the bowie in quota-
tion at on early hour, and left a pared addnowed to •• Mr.
Tesler." The door was anawetod by a eon of Mr. Taster's,
an intelligent youth of about 12, who, being requested to
•• go up and we if it was all right," carried the parcel to his
(Ohm, by whom it wee soon ascertained to be nothing but a
boa of mad, wrapped up in brown paper. Tho boy hastened
down stairs, hat the pneoner had gone, taking with him a
cloth coat and cloak from the ball. Information wee given
to the police, but no clew to the thief was disrovend,
although the street porter, a man named Colegote, declared
he had stem a man prowling about the neighbourhood, with
such a parcel, for several days. Loot week, however, the
prisoner was given into custody for posting a counter-
feit florin at the Howard Arms, a public-house en
tho same street, and the street porter being pas:sett at once
identified him as the " man with the sand-boo, ' who stole
the coat from Mr. Taster's. The prisoner was acquitted of
the charge of uttering bad money, but retained on the present
one, both the street porter and Mr. Tanker a eon being cer-
tain se to the man's identity. The former elated that Le
watched the prisoner for three whole day* prior to the 12th,
whoa the robbery was committed, ant once, when the pri-
moor asked him (witneas) what be woe prowling about for,
I he replied, " I'm on the look out for thieves—that's my
hominess,' giving him to understand that he was eueNcted.
The robbery took plane while witness had gone to 1•..-a.Vnat.
On the other hand, Oro prisoner called the foreman of
Messrs. Rawlings' ginger-hoer manufactory, to show that at
about tho time in question he was earning Its, a week, and
only left Lis situation to go into another, as potunn at a
public-I.lw, which was given up in consequence of the
house being afterwards pulled down.
Mr. Jardine, feeling that the lain. of time made the ques-
tion of identity very doubtful, ordered the prisoner to be
diesharged.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(ram ova OWN

PARIS, THUZSDAT BVVRNO.

The uncertain language of the Queen's speech
with regard to Neufchatel, which I noticed the day
before yesterday, when the speech arrived by tele-
graph, was not used accidentally. There arc symp-
toms that the matter does remain in an uncertain
state of which Switzerland has just reason to com-
plain, and English diplomacy no reason to be proud.
The Presse expresses astonishment that Lord Pal-
merston was unable to throw any light upon the
present state of the question, and notices that the
Swiss journals again manifest apprehensions. The
language of the Berlin government prints has pro-
dseed • very bad impression in Switzerland,
and i t is feared at Berne that the immense responsi-
bility which the Federal Council has taken upon
itself will be difficult to justify to the country, in
the face of the present attitude of the cabinet of
Berlin.

The Boursewas dull to-day, with but littlecariation
in prices. The Rento closed for cash at 67fr. 90c.,
with a rise of 5c., and at yesterday's price, 68fr.
15c., for account. Mobilier fell 22fr. 60e. Rail-
ways continue to be depressed by the pros-
pect of the new tax. With the exception
of Lyons, which, owing to an augmentation of
receipts in the last week of January, was in demand,
and closed at yesterday's quotation, all the lines fell.
Western fell 20fr. ; Northern, Bfr. 76e. ; Southern,
10fr.; and the others from 2fr. 60c. to 6fr. It con-
tinues to be affirmed that the fusion between the
Orleans and Grand Central is effected, but the fact
is not yet official.

The long-announced reception of M. Biot at the
French Academy took place to-day, M. Cuizot
making the customary speech to the new member.
The saions of the Hotel-de-Ville were thrown open
last evening to a numerous and brilliant assemblage,
comprising a large sprinkling of the corps diplo-
ntatique and the elite of Parisian society. The guest
of the evening was the Persian Ambassador, who
was accompanied by the principal members of his
suite. After being formally introduced to Baron
and Madame Hausmann, Ferukh Khan was con-
ducted through the ball-room to a reserved salon from
which he presently emerged, and went through the
principal rooms, with the brilliant and tasteful deco-
ration of which he expressed himself much struck.
The dancing commenced immediately after his
arrival, and was carried on with unflagging spirit
until an early hour in the morning. There were
very few foreigners present. Ferukh Khan wore
his high Astrakan cap, a Cashmere pelisse trimmed
with fur, and black trousers, with a gold stripe;
around his neck was the portrait of the Shah set
in diamonds, and the hilt of his sabre was orna-
mented with precious stones.

MINES.-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoCK.
A good amount of business is going forward to-
day in home mining stocks, and prices arc in nearly
all cases well supported. Wheal Mary Ann shares
are in request at • further improvement, being
' marked in the Stock Exchange as high as 471.
Sortridge Consols shams arc firmer.
Foreign mining securities remain quiet. There
have been some transactions in Linares shares, at
8 to 81.
In course of time much greater facilities will proba-
bly be presented fur dealing in mining stocks in the
Stock Exchange, and the steps lately adopted by
the committee, though of so recent a date, are
already working satisfactorily. As was to be ex-
pected, many of the "outside" dealers, who have
hitherto had the market very much at their com-
mand, show a disposition to carp at the recent alter-
ations, which tend directly to the demolition of the
system of wide " margins," and fictitious prices.
Nevertheless, the public are beginning to operate
more freely in mining stocks, now that a more rt.&
able market has been established. We have no
doubt whatever that the market in the Stock Ex-
change will steadily extend, rendering transactions
much more easy at fair prices, and thus conducing
greatly to the advantage of the mining interest.
Subjoined is a list of yesterday's transactions in the
Mining Exchange:
Carcannal, 7,4, 4, LB, ; Ding Doug, 334, 341; East

RUSSIA IN ASIA.

The Nord says :—" Several foreign journals have
recently spoken of a descent %Lich the Russians are
said to have attempted on the southern bank of the
Caspian Sea, forming part of the Russian territory.
Accounts from St. Petersburg explain this fact and
place the affair in its true light. The Persian pro-
vince of Astrabad is infested by hordes of Tares-
mans, who do not confine themselves to pillage, hat
even carry off men and condemn them to slaverf.
Among others a Russian courier fell into their
hands. In conse9uence the Russian commandant Cl
the maritime station of Astrabad attacked and took
possession of the stronghold of these brigands,
roughly chastised them, and delivered the prisonew,
among whom were several Russian and Persian
eubjects."

ARRIVALS AT MALTA.

(raom ova owx

MALTA, JULY 31, 1867.

By the French packet from Alexandria, we have
received news from that place to the 27th, but up to
the time of her leaving the European steamer from
Atuixalia had not arrived. She was looked for with
anxiety, as it was expected she would bring a few
days' later news from India picked up at Ceylon.
Others were of opinion that the Aden would ar-
rive from Bombay before the European from Ass•

A high Turkish functionary, who passed through
Malta a few days ago, stated that permission had
been granted by the Sultan for English troops to
pass through Egypt, and that this information had
been conveyed to Sir Colin Campbell ere ho passed
through on his road to India. The difficulty would
be to obtain transports from Suez, and it is doubted
by many whether the troops bad not better be sent
in steamers from the Mediterranean via the Cape.

Lord Lyon& squadron of screws would convey a very
strong reinforcement, and the troops at Malta are in
first-rate order.

On the 28th the steamer Dutchman, from Corfu,
arrived with part of the 68th, and drafts from the
3rd Buffs and 46th Regiments, en route for England.
The steamer coaled, and went on next day.
On the 30th the Cambria arrived from Marseilles
to wait for the mails expected from Australia.
The Indus, with the India mails, via Gibraltar,
arrived on the 30th.
