THE POLICE COURT&

bIANBIO.)T-HOUSL

A young girl, of 15 years of age, who gave the name of
Eliza Smith, was brought before the Lord Mayor for final
examination on a charge of attempt.* to defraud an omni-
bus conductor of a ghillies.
It appeared that the prisoner got into sOceinnibus on
Saturday last, in Oxford-street, and came towards the City.
On atrfnng at Hatton-garden she tapped the conductor of
the omnibus on the arm and said she wanted her change.
The conductor told her she had sot gives him anything, and
,the implied that she had given him a shilling. Ile, however,
said he was certain she had not, and she ',aid it must have
dropped down the window of the door, or perhaps she had
dropped it outside. She said she bad no more money about
her. On arriving et about Chupside, the omnibus
stopped, and the prisoner got out, as she said, to get the
money to pay the fare. On the conductor following Ler,
however, she said it was not the place. The con-
doctor having been, the day previous, warned of a pavan
of the prisoner's appearance, and ordered, in the event of
such an attempt, tepee her into custody, did so ; and on
hoes searched at the station, llb. lid. was found upon her.
The officer said if she were remanded he thought there
would be • number of other cases against her of the same
description. Accordingly, on being brought up yesterday,
eight or nine conductors were present to prefer charges
ICI
against her. in some cases she bail succeeded in obtaining
the change, and in one ease she said she had given the con-
ductor a two-shilling piece (having seen a lady give bun a
coin for that sum), and got Is. MM. change.
Mr. Carton, the traffic manager to the General Omnibus
Company, said there were at least forty other cases against
the prisoner.
The circumstances of all the cues were alike, sod four
having been selected, as having occurred within the City,
after the evidence had been taken, the prisoner wee com-
mitted for trial.

POLAND.

A letter from Warsaw of the 4th says :—" Yes-
terday evening we narrowly escaped another mas-
sacre. The religious service which has been held
in front of the churches has for some time past con-
cluded with patriotic hymns. Yesterday evening
a prodigious crowd was assembled in the Rue
Lessuo. They had scarcely begun the first hymn
when troops arrived, under the command of a gene-
ral, and the assembly was ordered to disperse. All
representations to the general were fruitless ;
he continued to threaten to fire. Already
some fanatics had cried out, ' Well, then, fire ;
while the majority were on their knees ; when, hap-
pily, some influential citizens succeeded in inducing
the crowd to disperse. In the cities of the pro-
vinces there is militant agitation. Troops continue
to leave for the Austro-Prussian frontiers. In a
conversation with the Grand Rabbi, General
Suchosanett has threatened to close all churches
and synagogues where patriotic hymns continue to
be sung."

the cabman, was pissed at the bar of the Dublin Commis-
sion Court, on Weasseday, and indicted for committing
wilful and corrupt perjury before one of the divisional
magistrate; by swearing that she was in Sackville-street on
the 27th of September, 1861, and that she eaw a lady enter
a cab and Hamilton Jolly remain outside, and that John
Curran was the man who drove that cab, and that site dii

THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND

NEAPOLITAN BRIGANDAGE.

We read in the Italia of Wedneeday :

AU important fact has been commeakated tom. Wears
informed that a note of the French goverameat has arrived
at Turin, and has been communicated to the President of
the Coattail by the French Minister. In this note
the Emperor's government declares that it has
resolved to lead efficacious usistance to the King's
government in the repression of the brigandage
' which has so loos desolated the Neapolitan provinces, which
dishonours our ems, and impedes the constitution of the
kingdom of Italy, which France has recognised. The note
adds that the government has in consequence sent
onlers to the French troops which occupy the
Pontifical States, and ban recommended the Prefect
of Marseilles and of other departments to watch
over the Bourbon committees of whose evidence
they may be cognisant. Furthermore, the imperial govern-
ment announces that it will insist upon the withdrawal of
Francis 11. and his court from Rome. This happy intelli-
gence will be received with joy throughout Italy, especially
at a moment when the great questions of Napless and Rome
are being disowned in the Italian parliament.

ROME.

ROME, Nov. 21.
The most important event of the week is the

demonstration at the Alibert Theatre. The bills
announced a benefit for an obecure actor, who,
luckily for himself and his eight children, happens
to bear the name of Savoie, (Savoy). The Romans
at once saw an opportunity to proclaim their hatred
of the papal government, and the theatre, which
is generally a desert, was crammed to the ceiling
as soon as the doors were opened. As the curtain
rose for the first scene of a piece called L'Orto/an4
del Porto, a tempest of applause burst forth, the
occasion for which was a salad, consisting of very
green stuff, flanked with slices of red and white
carrots—the three colours were hailed as being of
the Italian flag. When Signor Savoie, made his lip-
pearanoe he was greeted with energetic cries of
"Evviva Savoie." The noise brought forward a
down of, pontifical gendarmes, at the sight of whose
uniforms the evvivas redoubled, and were mingled
with shouts of "Evviva the King of Italy,"
"Evviva Garibaldi," and "Turn out the black-
guards." The gendarmes then began to play with the
hilts of their swords to terrify the audience. This
manceuvre produced silence ; but a few momenta
later showers of little square bits of paper descended
from the boxes and gallery into the pit, on which
pellets were written in red ink the obnoxious words
"Evviva Savoia." The police then cleared the
pit, and arrested four people in the boxes, viz., a
retired brigadier of gendarmerie, a man named
Allegiani, a waiter at a cad, and two shoemakers.
The ladies in the boxes were very much frightened.
A great crowd assembled outside the theatre, and
at midnight they made for the Corso, but were
turned back by French gendarmes, after which they
gradually dispersed. Several arrests were made in
the course of the night.
The Vioatiat, in consequence of express orders
from the Pope, has issued a decree, prohibiting
under severe penalties the exercise of the calling
of a photographer without a license. The reason
for this measure is said to be that a photographer,
getting hold of one of the numerous photographic
cards of the Queen of Naples, which she is fond of
exhibiting in the shops, copied the head, fitted it
on to the head of a naked model, and then for-
warded the composite production in a letter to the
Pope.

FRANCE.

La Patric publishes the following, under the
head of " Latest Intelligence :"
" It is stated (on assure) that the despatch ad-
dressed by the British Cabinet to Lord Lyons, to
be communicated to President Lincoln, is based
exclusively on legal considerations. This document,
it is said, establishes that the commander of the
San Jacinto, by acting as he has done, has com-
mitted a flagrant breach of maritime law and in-
sulted the English flag ; that the only right that
officer possessed was to compel the Trent to go to
some American port, where the case could have
been brought before the proper authorities in
presence of the English consul. That if, in this
search, despatches had been found establishing that
MM. Slidell and Mason were on a miason directly
or indirectly connected with military operations,
the commander would have been justified in seizing
those despatches and arresting the envoys, sending
in a detailed report of the transactions, with such
notes and observations as the English consul might
think fit to annex. These formalities not having
been fulfilled, no charge could be established against
the two persona arrested ; their arrest must be
regarded as nul and non avenue ; that the
Trent being the victim of an arbitrary act, con-
trary to every principle, England, acting in a con-
ciliatory and friendly point of view, has asked as
only reparation of this grave act the liberation of
MM. Slidell and Mason ; but that, if she does not
obtain it, Lord Lyons would leave Washington with
all the members of the Legation.
" We are assured that the despatch is drawn op
with great moderation—that it carefully avoids any
hurtful expression ; but that it is firm in its con-
clusion. From the information we have received
up to the present we do not think it likely that Mr.
Lincoln will give up the prisoners."
