DESPERATE AFFRAY WITH BURGLARS REAR
ROTHERHAM.

Yesterday, a man named George Evans, from
Hearer, wee brought up before the Rotherham magistrates,
on the charge of burglary, and for hexing committed •
murderous amanit upon two Wes% Riding policemen, named
Molesbury mud Bohai The two officers, appeared, wore
ea duty about 1 dolook on Friday morning u Aldwice, a
small village about two miles from Rotherham, where they
ensonatered a party of three men. amoept whom was
the prisoner. They each carried a large bundle of
cloth, and noes hag challenged by the officers
they refused to give any account as to how they
bed become possessed of it, whoa the latter pro-
ended to apprehend them. The three men immediately
oununeneed a singderons assault upon the officers. Mans.
bury and the prilioner signaled together and fell to the
ground, sod while in this partials Evans succeeded in
drawing the notional's', cutlass, with which he indicted
mayoral wounds upon Mohnbisry's head. Bolton in the mean-
time bad been contending with the other men, hut hearing
Molesbury call be left them and went to his assistance. He
struck Evans with bin staff and knocked him of the pros-
trate UAL, and the two succeeded in apprehending Um.
While this was gingen, however, use of the other men
returned with a fearful weapon, and knbcked Moleshiu7
down • second time, and then nude his escape. Bolton was
badly injured in the side, and it is supposed that some of
his gibe are broken. Molesbury's head was fearfully cat, and
he lost a large quantity of blood. The officers managed to
reach the Aklinck Farm with their prisoner, where a quan-
tity of hosed was adminietered to them. They were then
conveyed to is a trap, and after lodging the
priegoor is a cell at the court-bones, Dr. Robinson was
neat for, and dreamed their wounds ; after which they were
taken home in a cab. Mr. °ilia, the imperil=
informed the bench that it would be necessary to
the owe until the recovery of the dear, sad stated that
it hod been subsequently suresisised that the cloth, which
is valued at about 81., bed hem dolma (teen the promises
of Hr. Nuttall, clothier, figavoley. The primmer was eon-
sequeotly remanded.

Tan Pitmen or WALBa.—The Prince of Wales
is rapidly approaching theses when s man is held to be capa-
ble of every respoosibility, and by the moon of years lee
should now boas "competent toosist his mother as the Prince
Consort when he mond that duty. He has been so edu-
cated as to bring him into contact with • large variety elf
men, of minds, al 'mph's, sod of manners. By a
happy forethought be has visited the very nation
that now threatens to escape from worse diffi-
culties by a war with its mother country. If
the Prism of Wales is ever to be a wise
and good Sovereign, he will now be a wise and good son
and if he will ever feel say call to devote himself to his
country as his parents have done, he will feel it now. This
is the time for that oltescrifico on which the greatness of
• mown, an well as the glory of a statesman, a soldier, or a 1
priest, mon be fouedod. This, indeed, is the occasion
such as histonaos and dramatists have loved to describe in
the lives of their favourite Princes, when the Prince of
Wales will have to make a solown choice between a life of
frivolity, perhaps of trouble and misery,and a reign of useful-
nem, to make his name blessed for ever. He must resolve, if
ho would do ; and renounce if he would win. It is an awful
thing to say, " Now or never;" but experience proves that
they who reject the first solemn call ere seldom more
affected by any that come after. From all accounts the
Princes Alice has shown herself fully equal to the occasion,
receiving her dying father's confidences, and giving her
mother timely comfort and aid. That the Queen shouldgather
hen family around her, and address them at such a time for
such a porpoise, itself proves her confidence in them. That
all, and shove all the Prince of Wales may be deservieg of
that confidence is non the prover of thisgreat country. We
know not how much the tistinieA, not only of the British
Empire, but of the whole human race, depend on the
youthful Prince of whom we have seen so much, yet seem
to know so little. Like the rest of us, he has position, and
honour, and power to win. Ile may be a true king or a
shadow of royalty ; and, by all the laws of bums nature
and the testimony of experience, the decision is to be made
this very boar.—Time.
Ten AXERIVAN Quesnox.—At the Chamber of
COOllll4lOll of Edinburgh on Friday • motion wee made by
the members to memorialise the government to do the
utmost in their power to act on the resolution proposed by
the British government to the Pans Conference of 1866, to
have recourse to arbitration before apoesling to arms.
Several members having opposed the motion on the ground
that it alight perhaps be construed into no expression of
want of confidence ru government, the mover, though din-
claiming that idea, consented to withdraw the motion.
