THE POLICE COURTS.

GUILDHALL.

Kamm Wavier and Oa, silk 11111naketartra, of 36, Monk-
eall•aned, Cltr, were anwasand here Alderman Morin for
nceatallma* al reednot.

It appeared Hos the wridanoe el a weaver named Stratford
theowl two other men who were complaining had been
sagged by Harms. Winter and Co. to work at pleoa-work
en their premises. He (Stratford) had 200 yards of silk warp
glean to Idea to make into chenile, and he bad made 64 yards
of It when he was discharged. He now claimed to be showed
to work up the remaining 138 yards of warp, or to be paid for
the amount It would come to at 81. per yard. He also
claimed 11. 2s. 6d. fur about five days loss of time playing for
@hole.

Hewett, one c the partners-of Messrs. Winter and
Co., said they employed about fifty weavers, and the custom
of the house was that when trade wee slick the men
should be placed upon half-time or discharged; If they wars
compelled to allow the weavere to work op ell the warp
given out to them it would be ruinous to the firm, ea the
trade sometimes fell off so suddenly that they would be s•d-
died with 3,0001. or 4,0001. worth of stock without any de-
mand for it. It was grnersily understood that the men were
oily to he employed when there was work for them.
Alderman Mentil mid the law protected Os muter If hi.
men lett oho work unfinished without his permission, and it
was only rosoomable to suppose that the men were entitled to
the MIMS protection. He however recommended Mews.
Winter to arrange the matter in diapate, and be thought it
would not be difficult, as no ill-feeling bad ben evinced on
either aide. If, however, they could not agree, he should
have to direct an arbitration.
. _ _ _

Stratford wed he only wanted to be allowed to finish the
work, and to be paid fur Ws loot time.
Ur. Hewett thought they ought not to be called upon to
pay for lose of time.
Alderman Mechi inquired whose fault It wee that the men
were krpt playing for shut..
Mr. !Jewett said it wee frequently the fault of the dyer or
the winder, for they could not keep such a large stock on
hand so to avoid occasional delays.

Alderman Meth' said it w unreasonable to expect the
men to bear the loos occasioned by anther's faults. The
men were fairly entitled to something for leis of time.

Alderman Finnic said that, wade; the Oifellnift4l2ollll, be
thought the mat should meet their em pbyere ►alfway. He
conatdered 30., lured of de. a day would be • felt remunera-
tion for low of time.

Mr. Htewstt said he woe met wit lineto arrange the matter
amicably; bat this was the Brat one of the kind, sod he ex-
pected if these men were eacceseful, it would be followed op
by shoat a dozen others.
Both parties then retired. and ultimately agreed, Bret, that
the men should work up the warps in their looms as won as
pneetble; and seorrndly, that they ehould be paid 3e. per
day for their loss of tiate—sa smagement with which all
seemed perfectly satisfied.

great enthusimm.

All political parties, the Senate and the Congress,
have offered their sapport to the Ministry.
The article* of the newspapers express the same
patriotic feeling.

MADRID, Om W.
The Corrorpondemeia Autografa announce* that
the corps d'armeo destined for operations in Africa
will most likely be organised about the middle of

departure. The same Correspondencia says :—" We
do not yet know if the Spanish consul at Tangiers
has arrived in Spain."

THE ILLNESS OF THE AUSTRIAN
PLENIPOTENTIARY.
ZURICH, Ocr. 21.
Count Colloredo has not been restored to con-
sciousness. His physicians have lost all hopes of his
recovery.

RESIGNATION OF BARON HUBNER.
VIENNA, Ocr. 22.
. _

The Austrian Gazette says:—" Baron von Hubner,
Minister of Police, has tendered his resignation, and
the same has been accepted. Baron Thierry,
timid councillor in the Department for Foreign
Affairs, has been appointed Minister of Police in his
place. The new minister has summoned the editors
of the diffirent newspapers to his office, and hi,
notified to them in • friendly manner that the
ministerial programme of August last has been
modified.

The retirement of General and Aide-de-Camp
Count Gtunne is also announced.

PRUSSIA.

It is feared that the grand proposed torchlight
procession, which the students and guilds had in-
tended for the 9th of November, the eve of the
great national festival in honour of the 100th anni-
versary of the birth of Schiller, will not take place.
The President of the Police his put his veto upon it.
An appeal to Count Schwerin has also proved
fruitless. The reason for this is, that it is feared
the opportunity might be taken advantage of to
make a democratic demonstration.

Great pmparations are being made for the festival
in all the capitals and towns of Germany.

The Journal des Debetts contains an article signed

M. Lemoine proves by quotations from his former
articles that he always bad expressed the same

should remain mistress of her own destinies.

According to his views the Congress of 1860 has to

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.
The "contradictions" of the pamphlet " in
some points" which M. Grandguillot promised to

the readers of the

are yet to be

made, and I doubt mach whether they will ever
fall from his pen. The sensation made by the
pamphlet has been too great, its success too
overwhelming, for it to be possible for the author
to disavow his work. lied it been otherwise the

Constigutionnal might possibly have played a very
useful part by controverting, as it was prepared to
do, in the "plenitude of its independence," certain
propositions which it might have been found
embarrassing to oover with official protection. As
it is, M. Grandgnillot continues to speak of
the publication with ever-inoreuing admira-
tion. Throwing aside the affected ignorance
of its high origin, so uselessly professed at first, he
now admits, with an English journal, that the pam-
phlet is " the expression of a policy of concord and
conciliation with England." His article of today
doce not attack the pamphlet in any one particular;
but, from motives not very apparent, he seeks to
prove that the moral of it I. not altogether rightly
understood on the other side of the Channel. Eng-
land, he says, is a protestant power systematically
hostile to the papacy ; Frans, on the contrary, is a
catholic power, and cannot therefore be governed by
motives similar to those which will influence
England in the settlement of the Roman
question. These distinctions appear altogether
idle to the Press*, which observes that facts are
of more importance than motives and intentions,
and that M. Grandguillot cannot help admitting the
fact that England approves of the solution proposed
in the name of France; and that France and Eng-
land are likely to act together in the Congress, " if
the pamphlet have the importance which no one
thinks any longer of contesting."
M. Peyrat, in the Preece, offers a forcible plea on
behalf of the citizens of Rome, whom the pamphlet
would consign to bad government in perpetuity for
the benefit of the rest of the world. This notion
he treats u "chimerical, opposed to law, justice,
and common sense, inadmiesible in every point
of view, and as one plainly betraying the heed-
tation of a mind which after having clearly
marked out its course suddenly stopped half
way." This hesitation the Freon is tempted to
think must be voluntary and calculated. The case
made against Rome proves that the " French govern-
ment is tired of the obstinate trifling of Romiah
diplomacy, and will endure it no longer. At every
page one perceives explosion of a concentrated ill-
humour and an exhumed patience; one sees the
protector tired out with expedients and resolved to
cut the Gordian knot." The whole logic of the
pamphlet tending to show the utter impossibility of
uniting the functions of prince and pontiff for
the purpose of good government, the Presto
cannot think the author means what he
says when he would condemn Rome for all
time to be a city of silence and darkness—when he
would have St. Peter's barque like that of Charon,
peopled only with ghosts.

its fable is of foreign and German extraction, the " Little Men
in Bed," well known to the learned Brothers Grimm, being in-
troduced among the huts of the charaoal-burners on the
edge of the Bleak Forest, es a demoniacal yet beneficent
meddler in the afters of one Rene, • very ludicrous and
love-100 lout, who ultimately triumphs in life by the posses-
sion of the golden goose. The practical jokes and bustling in-
cidents of the latter part of this pantomime contain allusions
to every notable event and topic of the day. Altogether,
HOU awl tie Golden Goose is an excellent pantomime.
