rnE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 6, 1864

and the merit of Captain COLES'S invention is at an
end, the public would like to see and to judge a
little for themselves in this as in other matters.
They have not sufficient confidence in the wisdom
of the Board of Admiralty to submit to their dictum,
or to confide in their intuitive knowledge ; and as
the ship has never yet had a fair trial in cruising
it is hard to sae how the Admiralty can have dis-
covered her dtficiences, except by second-sight.
The official mind, when sharpened by prejudice, is
somewhat apt to arrive at foregone conclusions, and
Captain COLES'S turret ships have never found
favour in the sight of that immaculate Board which
represents the naval wisdom of the country. Iron
ships as a class are indeed in favour, but that parti-
cular kind of ironship which is said to be the most
effective and formidable is under a ban, However,
according to Mr CIIILDERS, these are small matters,
and we are to confide unreservedly in the good in-
tentions and indefatigable exertions of the Admi-
ralty. What they wish to do, he tells us, is to
see to the future ; "to spare no exertion to
keep the Navy of England efficicient ; to keep up
England's place among the nations, not to let her
be behindhand with the onward discoveries of the
age, and to contrive with thorough efficiency a
sound and judicious economy ? Unfortunately
upon the latter point the public entertain very
serious doubts. They look on Admiralty estimates
with very grave suspicion of the " rigid economy"
which frames them, and are more than inclined to
suspect that if their next annual contributions were
prudently disbursed, we should not only have a
large and thoroughly efficient fleet and dockyards
in every quarter of the globe, but that our seamen
would be properly cared for, and greater liberality
shown in the shape of previous allowances, &c., to
the really working men of the service. It is not
the increased expenses necessitated by the Russian
or Chinese wars referred to by Mr. CHILDERS, of
which the country complains, but a sense of the
recklessness and mismanagement with which its
naval affairs are too often administered, and which,
after spending large sums of the public money finds
out too late it has been spent in the wrong quarter.
Take, for example, the new dock at Malta. After
large outlay and waste of time and labour, the
Lords of the Admiralty have themselves visited the
spot, and are quite ready to concur in all that Cap-
tain TALBOT said of the advantages of the French
Creek over the site selected by the contract. This
is but one of many cases, and while we find them
constantly recurring we shall not be much inclined
to endorse Mr. CHILDERS'S encomiums of the ability
and public spirit of his Board.

LUTTRELL OF ARRAN. By Charles Lever. No.
XllL—Tbe story advances rapidly in this number,
though more and more entangled. Puor Kale's troubles
thicken, owing to the treachery of Oiltorke and the villainy
of young Lidavelle. Luttrell of Arran dies, and old Sir

William is struck with apoplexy, with what result remains

to be seen. Kate herself is attacked by brain fever, a fac

of which her enemies take advantage. The story is a
present in the position of Vanity Fair, wanting a hero

ITALY.

TURIN, DEC. 6' „
In yesterday's sittings of the Senate, the
ster of the Interior said, so long as the terelOtil
power existed, the danger of foreign interval°,o
wept, not removed. The temporal power, he cos,
tinued, is not necessary to the splendour end
dependence of the spiritual power. But this i 8
moral question. We have :declared that it We,,
necessary to leave it to the progress of civilisati°°
and to leave the Pope alone with his subjects, by
which means the cessation of foreign intervatt;
would be obtained. This question can only
solved in accord with France, the first of the Csll
tholic Powers. In the principle of a free Chure
in a free State, the base of a solution exists encleto
the convention. Foreign intervention is Abe°.
cease. Italy has an interest in repelling all fereig
aggression to support the temporal power. ill t fiot
event of a movement breaking out in Poetigco
territory, Italy does not engage herself to rereo
it. The only engagement undertaken by ber to
not to attack, nor allow the Pontifical territory
be attacked. The convention is therefore facc)1101
able to Italian policy. The transfer of the °Pit'
is not unattended with inconvenience, but it °-
a
consolidate the dynasty and the unity of Italy'
The Minister's speech was received with grey
applause.

Royal Italian Opera.

A charming little operetta by Mr Benedict, entitled "The
Bride of Song," has been produced hero with the greatest
succ2ss. As a composition, it is perfect in all its parts ; indeed
it could not have been otherwise, proceeding as it does from
such an accomplished musician. There are but four charac-
ters in the piece, but each interspersed with a number of mu-
sical gems that awaken the most melodious feeling. The fol-
lowing is an outline of this pretty little trifle :—Adelbert, a
young musician, has come into the possession of an estate
on the Rhine, on condition that he abstains from any in-
dulgence in his favourite pursuit. Music, however, is to
him a second nature—he cannot help rendering his thoughts
in music, and atributing them to his friend Captain Han-
nibal. In truth, Reads, a cousin of Adelbert, has conceived
for the Captain, on the score of his musical genius, a ro-
mantic attachment. But Hannibal rates beer more highly
than music, so ho is nothing Lth to accept the homage of
a pretty girl, and, ignorant that Adelbert is himself in love
with his coasin, bids him drink to the " trooper's bride."
On hearing the name of the inamorata, Adelbert is in de-
spair, but his sister Beatrix comes to his assistance, appeals
to Hannibal to renounce an attachment to which he has
no claim, and Ren6o, as soon as she learns who is the
real author of the effusions which she so much ad-
mires, transfers her affections to her modest cousin,
and a wedding of course is the result. This telling little
episode has been treated by Mr Benedict with his usual
taste and skill, as melody follows melody in rapid succes-
sion. "My home in cloudland," for the soprano, is an ex-
quisite ballad, with perhaps one of the most graceful accom-
paniments we ever remember to have heard. It was sung
by Miss Thirlwall with the utmost taste, and the applause
it elicited was enthusiastic. The tenor ballad, " For her
sweet sake," is another successful effort, remarkable also
for the beauty of the opening recitative. " Oh,
do not take her from him," for the contralto,
is a delightful melody, and so also is --, but we must
desist from further enumeration, because did we continue,
we should have to give an entire list of the pieces which
somprise the operetta. The audience were delighted with
the new composition, and in a very short time the musical

THAMES.

ROBBERY ON BOARD SHIP,—John Doyle, an Irish
labourer, was brought before Mr Paget charged with steal-
ing 2.bs 12oz of soap from the ship Sylph, in the London
Dock, and with having possession of a tube for the purpose
of procuring wine.
Yesterday afternoon an officer, named John Roytell,
stopped the prisoner as he was leaving the London Dock,
and found on him two bars of soap and a tube, This tube
smelt of wine, and the officer believed it had been used for
the purpose of extracting wine from the casks in the dock,
an cfflnce of which many have been convicted. The pri-
soner had been at work on board a ship named the Sylph,
end there were cases of soap an board.

The prisoner in defence said that he kicked against the
soap on board the Sylph, and picked up the tube.
The officer said the soap and tube were artfully concealed
on the prisoner.
Mr Paget sentenced the prisoner to two months' impri-
sonment and hard labour for unlawful possession of the
soap,and one month's imprisonment and hard labour for the
unlawful possession of a tube with intent to extract wine or
spirits from the casks.
The prisoner asked the magistrate to mitigate the sen-
tence for the sake of his wife and family.

Mr Paget—No ; I will not mitigate the sentence. I have
treated the case very leniently. You must not steal other
people's property.
ANOTHER ROBBERY ON BOARD SHlP.—Richard Cooke
and Thomas Anderson, seamen, were charged with stealing
tins of meat and vegetables from the ship Baron Hamburg,
in the West India Dock.

Adolphus Clarke, a constable in the employ of the Dock
Company, stopped the prisoners as they were leaving the
deck at the Canal-road entrance, and Cooke took from his
pockets four tins of preserved provisions—one contained
roast beef, another salmon, a third oysters, and a fourth
lobsters. He admitted at once that ho had brought the
tins from the ship Baron Hamburg, of which he was
cook, Anderson produced a tin of mashed turnips,
and said he picked it up in the street. Cooke
said, " It's no use your telling lies. You got it the same as
I did mine." The captain gave both men an excellent
character. Cooke had been with another master four years.

Mr Charles Young, solicitor, made an eloquent and feel-
ing appeal to the magistrate in favour of the prisoners, who,
he said, had lost their good names, lost their characters, and
lost their situations on board the Baron Hamburg, which
was a steamship, and would leave the dock this day. Both
men had borne good characters, both had wives and families,
and they were very penitent, and regretted what they had
done. He asked that a fine might be imposed.

Mr Paget was sorry that he could not listen to the sug-
gestion of Mr Charles Young. He could not overlook a
serious robbery like this. He sentenced the prisoners to be
imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour,

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Before the Lord Chief Justice Cockburn )
LEVY V. HAWKINS.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, the proprie-
tor of the Garrick Theatre, Leman-street, Goodman's-field,
against the defendant, late the Keeper of the Antiquities
in the British Museum. It appeared that the plaintiff had
leased the theatre to the defendant, and the dispute arose
out of the rebuil ing of a public-hous 3 adjoining the theatre,
also the property et the plaintiff.
After the plaintiff's case had been completed, it was
agreed that a verdict of £lO should be taken for the plain-
tiff. beyond the sum paid into Court.
London, England, 1864-12-06

and the merit of Captain COLES'S invention is at an
end, the public would like to see and to judge a
little for themselves in this as in other matters.
They have not sufficient confidence in the wisdom
of the Board of Admiralty to submit to their dictum,
or to confide in their intuitive knowledge ; and as
the ship has never yet had a fair trial in cruising
it is hard to see how the Admiralty can have dise
covered her deficiences, except by second-sight.
The official mind, when sharpened by prejudice, is
some what apt to arrive at foregone conclusions, and
Captain COLES'S turret ships have never found
favour in the sight of that immaculate Board which
represents the naval wisdom of the country. Iron
ships as a class are indeed in favour, but that parti-
cular kind of ironship which is said to be the most
effective and formidable is under a ban. However,
according to Mr CHILDERS, these are small matters,
and we are to confide unreservedly in the good in-
tentions and indefatigable exertions of the Admie
raltyieWhat
the fu they e
wish
do,ar ehe tells us, is to
see no exertion to
keep the Navy of England efficicient ; to keep up
tur ; ' .to to
spare
England's place among the nations, not to let her
be behindhand with the onward discoveries of the
age, and to contrive with thorough efficiency a
sound and judicious economy ? Unfortunately
upon the latter point the public entertain very
serious doubts. They look on Admiralty estimates
with very grave suspicion of the " rigid economy"
which frames them, and are more than inclined to
suspect that if their next annual contributions were
prudently disbursed, we should not only have a
large and thoroughly efficient fleet and dockyards
in every quarter of the globe, but that oar seamen
would be properly oared for, and greater liberality
shown in the shape of previous allowances, &e., to
the really working men of the service. It is not
the increased expenses necessitated by the Russian
or Chinese wars referred to by Mr. CHILDERS, of
which the country complains, but a sense of the
recklessness and mismanagement with which its
naval affairs are too often administered, and which,
after spending large sums of the public money finds
out too late it has been spent in the wrong quarter.
Take, for example, the new dock at Malta. After
large outlay and waste of time and labour, the
Lords of the Admiralty have themselves visited the
spot, and are quite ready to concur in all that Cap-
tain TALBOT said of the advantages of the French
Creek over the site selected by the contract. This
is but one of many cases, and while we find them
constantly recurring we shall not be much inclined
to endorse Mr. CIIILDERS'S encomiums of the ability
and public spirit of his Board.

NEWPORT PAGNELL.

A special meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at the office, Duke-street, IVestminster ; Mr
W. Fowler in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN said the works were progressing
rapidly and in the most satisfactory manner. Half
the capital had been paid up, and the company
were now in a position to exercise their borrowing
powers. He then moved a resolution to the effect
that the directors be empowered to borrow on mort-
gage or to raise by the issue of preference shares
any sum or sums not exceeding► in the whole
£15,000.

NORTH LONDON.

In reference to a statement under the head of

"New Railway Projects," which appeared in The
Sun of yesterday—to the effect that the North
London Railway Company propose to make a rail-
way from Islington to join the Alexandra Park
Extension of the Edgware, Ilighgate, and London
line—the solicitors of the above company state that
notice for such a line has been given, but not by, or
on behalf of, the North London Railway Company.
FRENCH RAILWAY TRAFFIC.

It appears from an official return that the total
receipts on 14 companies' new and old lines
amounted for the first nine months of this year on
12,668 kilometres (7,811 miles) to 385,595,8321
(i 15,423,833), and for the corresponding period of
1863 on 11,940 kilometres (7421 miles)to 361,774,334 f
(14,470,973)—showing an increase of £952,860. The
total receipts on the old railways-7619 kilometres
(4754 miles) in length—amounted to 312,320,1451
(.C12,492,806) ; and for the corresponding period of
1863 on 7546 kilometres (4690 miles) to 298,730,3191

1863, on 4394 kilometres (2731 miles), to 64,044,015 f
(X 2,521,760)—showing an increase of £409,267.
The receipts per mile on the old lines amounted to
£2,628 against £2,548 ; and on the new lines to
only £955, against £923 for the corresponding pc.
riod of 1863.

[ADYERTISEMENTI—IIeIIoway's Ointment rind Pills,—
Lumbago, Derangements of tho Kidneys, ltheumatibui,
Tic-Doloreux.—All excruciating pains of the muscles and
nerves aro relieved with astonishing rapidity by the use of
this extraordinary ointment. The affected parte, previ-
ously fomented with warm water, have only to be brisk y
rut bed with this soothing unguent to obtain instant ease.
Whilst the ointment cures the local ailment, the pills
remove the constitutional disturbance and regulate every
impaired function of every organ throughout the human
body. The cure is neither temporary nor superficial, but
permanent laid complete, and the diseases rarely recur, so
perfect has been the purification performed by these search-
ing yet harmless preparations.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.

Th, Court was occupied the whole of the morning with
uninteresting motions. Up to the hour of going to press,
no mention had been made of the expected application, on
the part of Colonel Anderson, for a new trial in the late
suit of Codrington v. Codrington.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This Day.
MARLBOROUGH STREET.

AN UNINTELLIG IBLE PROSECU TOR,—A QUEER
CHARGE OF ROBBERY,—Two women, named Mary Far-
rell and Eliza Peters, living in the neighbourhood of
Drury-lane, were charged bAbre Mr Tyrwhitt with steal-
ing from the person of John Lloyd, a tailor, living at 24,
King-street, Regent-streot, a breast-pin of the value of 14s,
and Farrell was further charged with assaulting Police!
constable Walter Applebee, 39 F, and Mrs Jane Smith,
the female searcher at Bow-street Police Station,
After a good deal of trouble the prosecutor's name and
address was extracted from him, and he said—l was going
along Oxford-street last night, and went in to the " Crown"
and looked in a glass—
Mr Tyrwhitt—Go en. What did you look in the glass
for
Prosecutor—For my pin—the two women—
Mr Tyrwhitt—Well, what took place ?
Alter the question had been repeated several times the
prosecutor said—l missed my pin—l looked in the glass—
Mr Tyrwhitt —Which of the prisoners did you go into
the house with ?
Prosecutor—The one nearest the Oxford. (Laughter.)
Mr Tyrwhitt—How much was your pin worth ?
The prosecutor was asked the same question two or three
times, but made no answer, and appearing to be completely
lost, was told to star d down.
Applebee, 39 F—l was on duty in High-street this
morning, when the prosecutor gave the prisoners in charge
fk.r stealing his pin.
Mr Tyrwhitt—Could you understand what he said ?
Applebee—Not for a long time. On taking the prisoners
into custody Farrell became very violent, and struck and
kicked me several times. They said they had had nothing
to do with the pin.
Farrell was fined lOs or 14 days for the assault on the
constable, and committed for a week for the assault on the
female, and Peters was discharged.

COLONIAL.

TEl..—Business has been very inactive, and the few deal-
ings entered into have been at about previous quotations.
SUCIA.R.—The market has remained dull, but holders
still demand full rates for superior descriptions of West
India. In the refined market there is no material change
to record in prices.
COFFEE.—There has been a fair inquiry for colonial de-
scriptions, and late prices are well sustained.
RICE.—A better demand has been experienced for ex-
portation, and prices have generally shown an upward
movement.
TALLow.—The market has exhibited no material change,
a steady business having been done in " sorts " for home
consumption, at about previous rates. P.Y.C. on the spot

"'Tis my father," cried Susan, and sprung to his breast,
From that moment ever beloved there the best,—
But the others he call'd, and with hand and lip graced,
And tenderly then their coy mother embraced ;
"When I ask'd for an apple you never add' Nay,"
But a kiss was a great gift from Anne HEthaway."

He went o'er to Stratford the very next morn,
And bought the great house where the Clopton was born;
And rich lands round Welcomb he purchased right out,
And a propertied gentleman was, past all loubt;
And though the poor title his fame flouts to• day,
Still, she married an:Esquire, did Anne Hathaway I
Very cordially we may congratulate Mr. Falconer
upon the publication of poetical dasions such as
thcse—effusions that few need disdain to have had
bequeathed from Boyhood to Manlood (the Child
being Father of the Man, as Wordsworth has it,
and therefore capable of meking, thus, a distinct
bequest), bequeathed, here, in the golden numbers
rung out of the coinage of the author's brain in
the shape of these same pure and virginal

THE IMPARTIAL LEADER. Nc. I. Denis Love.
—A new sixpenny monthly organ has been com-
menced. Its general character cppears to be very
ambitious. Its aim is to be of No Party. Truth
is its idol. Its aspirations are at once political and
literary. It is desirous of pleasiig everybody, but
we are very much afraid in this wish it is doomed
to very considerable disappointmuit.

EVENTS OF THE MONTH. Pirt I. J. and C.
Mozley.—Another sixpenny mon hly periodical, of
a less ambitious kind. Also poll ical, also literary.
A carefully compiled, and so fr useful, but, we
grieve to add, somewhat dull eFitome of facts in
regard to the events of the montt—evonts political,
literary, scientific, and connected with matters of
general information.
London, England, 1864-01-12

whose fantastic and seemingly interminable ma
ncetivres generally gave rise to admiration, but not
unfrequentiy to uncontrollable mirth. Between-
-12 and 4 o'clock the number of people upon the loch
could not have been less than 6,000 at one time ;
and as crowds were continually arriving and de-
parting, the number who visited the ice throughout
the day must have been between 12,000 and 15,000.
During the two hours preceding twilight the sight
which Duddingston and the acclivities surrounding
it presented was one that has been rarely seen in
the neighbourhood of Edinburgh. The bold features
of the neighbouring scenery, partially disclosed
through the overhanging mist—the gay aspect of
the crowds who watched the sports from the banks
and from the carriages drawn up along the drive—
the sharp, whirring sound of innumerable chairs
driven at headlong pace by skaters over the ice,
and bearing young ladies in swift flight across the
loch—the varying aspects of the surface of the loch
as the huge crowds skimmed and swayed to and fro
upon its surface—the brilliant colours of the ladies'
dresses; these combined with the noise and bustle
everywhere prevalent, formed a panorama that was
pleasant above measure to the eye to dwell upon.
Nor did evening, which closed with a keen air and
thick fog, wholly interrupt the progress of the sport.
For hours after darkness fell adventurous skaters
traversed the loch in all directions bearing torches,
which, as seen from the upland overlooking Dud-
ciingston, glared ruddy and wild through the thick
misty atmosphere. Many lovers of the pastime,
whom business prevented attending during the
day, and not a few whose enthusiasm made them
eager to make the most of the time while the frost
lasted, remained on the loch till near midnight,
steering their uncertain course over the ice by the
aid of paper lanterns and other improvised helps
to safety. The ice was very good throughout the
day, and with the exception of some concealed ruts
that occasionally overthrew the unwary tyro, or
taxed the good temper of the practised skater, there
was little to complain of in its quality or condition.
About an hour before dark the number of people
who thronged the road leading citywards, on their
return from the loch, was almost as large as the
crowd that pours down to the Queen's Park to
welcome her Majesty on her visits to Edinburgh.
Notwithstanding the immense number of people on
the ice during the day, we can say that only one
accident occurred. Skaters—and their name is
legion—will be sorry to learn that the healthy and
invigorating exercise which they have enjoyed with
such zest during the past week is likely for the
present to be suspended. Early on Sunday morn-
ing a thaw set in accompanied with a gentle breeze,
which sent the mercury up to 12 deg. above freezing
point. On Sunday night the thermometer regis-
tered 43 deg., and there was a prospect of the mer-
cury rising still higher. There were two inches of
water on Duddingston Loch on Sunday.
