The Emperor and Empress of Mexico.

The arrival of the Emperor Maximilian and Ern-
press Charlotte at Vera Cruz took place on May 26,
as already brialy announced by telegraph. The
Austrian frigate Novara, in which the voyage wee
made, anchored in the port at two o'clock, saluted
by a salvo of artillery proceeding from the guns of
the squadron at the fortress of Ulloa, and the bas-
tions of the fortified places.
The Emperor and Empress disembarked next day,
with their suites, and immediately left by special
train for Soledad, on the way to Cordova, where
their Majesties passed the night.
The city of Mexico welcomed the new Sovereigns
with every demonstration of popular delight. Be-
sides salvoes of artillery, ringing of joy bells, and
firing of muskets and pistols, the inhabitants
crowded into the streets and public places, where
the band of the municipal guards was stationed.
The French and Mexican flags flying from the prin-
cipal buildings gave to the capital an air of great
rejoicing.

The following proclamation was posted by order
of the authorities—

" The Political Prefect of the Department of the
Valley of Mexico to the Mexicans.
" Vive l'Empereur ! Our august Sovereign has
set his foot on Mexican soil at Vera Cruz. Let us
return thanks to Divine Providence for having
happily conducted to our soil the man to who'll
it has confided the mission of regenerating
our unfortunate country. He will soon be in our
midst, and we shall see our hopes realised. Me2Ci'
cans celebrate the happy news by,all marks of re•
jGicings. Vive our Emperor, Maximilian I! Vice
the Empress Charlotte! Vive Napoleon 111., our
protector ! Vivo the Franco-Mexican army and WI
worthy leaders !
"Mexico, May 28, 1864."

On the way through the country from Orizaba
the enthusiasm of the people was everywhere 00
great as that displayed at Vera Cruz.

Subjoined is the speech of the Emperor of Mexico
at Vera Cruz on the passage of their Majesties
through that city after landing there on May 28
" I am happy that the day has arrived on which
I can tread the soil of this beautiful land, my new'
country—and salute the people who have elected
me. God grant that the geed fortune which has
conducted me towards you may be used to the pro'
motion of your happiness, and that, with the aid of
all good Mexicans, we may see a better future arise.
The important department of Vera Cruz and ite
capital, which haw, given so many proofs of their
patriotism, may be assured of my solicitude. This
port being the principal avenue into the interior,
all my efforts will be devoted to the development
and extension of its commerce. Farewell. I
promise to return to see you at a more favourable
season, and to remain with you as long as it may be
necessary."

At Orizaba, his Majesty, in reply to the congratu°
lations of the authorities, spoke as follows :--
"In travelling through this beautiful land—mi
new country—l have felt deeply the marks of
attachment which have been shown towards •me by
the generous people who have chosen me to rule
their destinies. May Providence hear our prayers
and give to the empire the era of peace—so recee'
sary to its prosperity and grandeur. The benefit of
institutions founded on true liberty, a regular and
durable order of things united to the material deve•
lopment wbioh the means of easy communicatiort
will give you, will at last allow you to make use of
the riches with which Providence, more prodigal
to wards our soil than towards any other land, has
endowed our country. My Government will devote
particular attention to your interests. You, gentle-
men, represent these interests, and on this account,
I hope you will display, zeal, patriotism, and scram
pulous exactness in the execution of the orders I
shall transmit to you."
The Indians of Cuautlepa also addressed the Era'
peror in the Aztec language, A translation of their
address is given from the Spanish version :
" Our venerable Emperor, thou hast before thee
the poor and humble Indians, thy children. Tbel
have come to render homage to thee, in order that
thou caayest know that tby arrival fills their hearts
with joy. They see in it the rainbow which will
drive away the clouds which seem to have for ever
rested on our kingdom. Thou art the envoy of the
All Powerful. May He give thee the strength to
save us. Take this flower. It is the sign of oar
Thy children of the Naranjal offer it to

Love.

:hee."

The Emperor replied as follows:

" I am much pleased, my well-beloved children,
to receive a deputation from your people. I see in
it a proof of the confidence reposed in me to restol°
the peace and happiness of which
you have been E°
long deprived. Be assured that I shall be /nest
solicitous in watching over your interests, your
works, and your agricultural productions, and that
the improvement of Sour condition will always find
a place in my heart. You can assure the inhabitants
of the Naranjal of this."
Their Majesties arrived at Puebla on June 4, and
were escorted into the city by an immense body of
officials, citizens, and inhabitants of the surrounding
country.

It is stated that the Emperor and Empress, ill
order to be able to understand without interrae
diaries the wants of the people who form the brut
majority of the Mexican. povple, have resolved to
learn the Aztec language,

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of
the Union Bank of London was held to-day—Mr.
P. N. Laurie in the chair. The report, which was
unanimously adopted, declared a dividend for the
last six months at the rate of 15 per cent. per
annum, and a bonus of 21 per cent, on the paid-up
capital, being at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum,
clear of income tax ; and after payment of the
above, amounting to £78,000, there will remain a
balance of £77,363 Cs 2d.
A special meeting was also held for the purpose
of considering the propriety of increasing the capital
from £3,000,000 to X 4,000,000, by the creation of
20,000 new shares of £5O each. The resolution
was unanimously agreed to, and it was also resolved
to issue the shares at £3O, bearing a premium of
£l5 each.
The directors of the English, Scottish, and Aus-
tralian Chartered Bank have issued their report of
the reeult of the operations of the Company for the
half year ending 31st March in the Colonies, and
30th June in London. The balance of profit is
£28,467 Os. 101, which the directors pro-
pose to appropriate as follows :—To the pay-
ment of a dividend at the rate of 6 per
cent. per annum, free of income-tax, on .£600,000,
£18,000; towards the reduction of bank premises
and furniture accounts, £1,000; to the reserved fund,
£8,000; which will then amount to £43,000, leaving
a balance of £1,467 Os 10d to be carried forward.
We understand that the far-famed Oxford and
Canterbury Halls are about to be merged into a
joint-stock company under the Limited Liability
Aot. This step is taken, not because there is any
necessity to place the undertakings on a wider basis,
for both are in a very flourishing condition, but to
give Mr. Charles Morton, the present sole proprie-
tor, the opportunity of ultimately withdrawing from
the cares of active management, although the com-
pany, in which he is a very large shareholder, will
mot lose the benefit of his advice and co-operation.
It would ba a work of supererogation to
speak of the claims of these two music halls, each of which, in dense localities,
carry away the palm of patronage from all
their competitors—the Oxford being nightly filled
by a very superior class of West-end patrons, and
the Canterbury Hall offering permanent attractions
in its splendid picture gallery. But there are
vouched documents put forth by Mr. Morton in
anticipation of the intended change, which p beyond ail doubt the highly successful characterlace of
the undertaking from a commercial point of view.
It appears that in admissions alone to the Oxford
during the last three years, ending March 25th there have been received not less
than £43,385,
,
and 'for the sale of refreshments during
the
same period £46,602. The certified accounts show
an annual profit of upwards of 25 per cent.
The: capital of the company is £120,000 in 8,000
she.res of £l5 each. We understand that one half
of the capital has already been applied for. This is
eminently an age for joint stock enterprise, and
there is hardly a species of undertaking which does
not take the shape of a public company. But the
present venture has nothing of speculation in it.
The company will simply have to step 'into Mr
Morton's shoes, and carry on both undertakings in
the same judicious spirit of enterprise, in order to
continue and improve a past brilliant success,

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day.

OLD COURT.

THE MURDER AT THE NEW, CATTLE MARKET.

Frederick Charles Bricknell, aged 22, a respectable-loek-
ing young man, late a waiter at the Lion Tavern, in the
New Cattle-market, was indicted with the wilful murder
of Jane Geary, also a servant at the same tavern, on the
night of the Bth of June last.

Mr Giffard appeared for the prosecution, and Mr Sleigh
defended the prisoner.

The learned counsel having briefly opened the case,
called the following witnesses :

Mr Henry Keeble, of the Lion Tavern, said I assist my
uncle. I was in the bar about half-past eleven. I saw the
prisoner come down stairs with a knife in his hand; ho
said, "I've done it, and here, Mr Henry, is the knife." I
took hold of him and said, "You scoundrel, come down
stairs." The knife was covered with blood. I brought him
down and left him in charge of a policeman, I placed the
knife on the counter. The knife produced is the one I took
from the prisoner.

Mary Platen, chambermaid at the Lion, deposed that
she and deceased were going up stairs to bed—they both
slept in the same room—but when we got to the second
landing I recollected that a gentleman lodging in the
house was net within. I had but partly got down stairs
when I heard a scream, and I rot urned up stairs. As I was
going up the prisoner was coming down. I seized hold of
his collar and said " You shan't go a step further," Mr
Keeble came up and took hold of the prisoner. I then went
up stairs and found the deceased lying on her face.
Richard Gardiner, head waiter at the Lion Tavern,
said—l heard the scream and ran upstairs immediately
afterwards ; I passed Mr Keeble and the prisoner on the
stairs, and on arriving at the second landing I found the
deceased lying on her face ; I raised her head, and held it
up until a surgeon came. The deceased never spoke, and
only shivered once. I afterwards saw a deep wound in her
breast.

Cross-examined by Mr Sleigh—l never noticed that the
prisoner of late exhibited symptoms of despondency and
melancholy.

Charles Hill, boots at the Lion, said it was my duty to
sit up at night. The prisoner called me about 11 o'clock.
Previous to my going out of the room, the prisoner said,
" Good night, Charles, perhaps I may see you again, I
may come down for something." I heard a scream, and I
ran up stairs and saw the prisoner and Mr Feeble. Pri-
soner said, "Oh Hill, I've done it," I recollect on a Sun-
day night, about a fortnight beforo this, a cousin of the
deceased was there. The cousin, I, and another man had•
a glass of bJer together. The prisoner was present, and
pointing to the cousin said, " That man has, broken my
peace of mind."

Cross-examined by Mr Sleigh--The prisoner at times
was very desponding, and appeared to be very fond of the
deceased, and about nine months ago the deceased appeared
partial to him, but latterly not so much.
Police-constable Lover took the prisoner into custody. I
told him be was charged with stabbing the deceased. Ile
replied, "I'll tell you all about it." 1 cautioned him, after
which he said, "She is the only girl that I ever liked, and,
poor girl, she has got it, and I hope she is dead." A gen-
tleman then came into the room, and shaking his head,
said, " She's gone." Prisoner said he would rather she was
dead than any one else should have her."
Inspector Richardson said when the statements of the
witnesses were read over to the prisoner, he said, " I did it.
I loved the girl, and that was the reason I did it."
Mr George Tait, surgeon, said I was called in to see the
deceased. She was then quite dead. The incised wound
on the upper part of the left breast was the cause of death,
the instrument with which it was indicted had
punctured
the heart.
Mr Sleigh having addressed the jury for the prisoner,
The jury, after about five minutes' deliberation, returned
a verdict of Guilty.
The Clerk of Arraigns then asked the prisoner, in the
usual form, whether he had any thing to say why sentence
of death should not be passed upon him.
Ho merely shook his head.
The learned Judge said—Frederick Bricknell, you have
been found guilty, on the clearest evidence, of the crime of
which you are charged, and no person could reasonably
entertain a doubt to the contrary. The law protects the
weak against wrongful violence, and that law condemns you
to make atonement by death, that your case may become a
fearful warning to others. I hope that you will devote the
short time now allotted you to live to repentance and
prayer, as you can expect no mercy this Bide of the grave,
My duty is to pass upon you a fearful sentence—namelh
that Sou be taken hence to the place from whence you
came, and from there to a place of execution; that you be
there hanged by the neck until you be dead, and that your
body be a,terwards buried within the precincts of the prison
in which you are confined. 1113 y God Almighty have
mercy upon you, . _

At the conclusion of the sentence the Rev. Mr Davis,
the ordinary of Newgate, said "Amen," and the prisoner,
who had maintained the most perfect indifference through-
out the whole of the trial, left the dock apparently quite
unconcerned,

I It would seem as if Grant had directed his choice
studying, not the art of war, but the New York
papers, whose pet scheme of starvation he evidently
adopted, into Richmond there run not only four
principal lines pf railway, but also a canal of un-
usual magnitude, and a river flowing for 150 miles
through a region untotiehed by the war. It is a
very hopeless project to starve a city so situated,
and whieh it was impossible to invest. But if this
were the design the measures taken were singularly
ill-judged. Instead of withdrawing a corps from
Butler, he should have been strengthened so as to
overthrow Beauregard and ee'ze the Southern
lines, while Grant, holding on to his intrenched
position, detained Lee in his own front. It was
clear, that if he himself aaoved, Lee would be
free to respond with the advantage of an inner
line, probably it was hoped that the fleet might
render assistance, as at Vicksburg, when the opera.
tions were connected with the river. If this was
the idea, it is a curious result that Grant should
order vessels to be sunk to protect his own fleet from
the enemy. A New York paper of June 29, when
deploring the uselessness of the navy, observes, " It
fin been discovered that God Almighty had not
made the ;Tames river to fit the Federal gunboats."

would bring him to the Chattohoohee, a formidable
river to cross, and beyond it Atlanta would be found
just as strongly fortified as Lynchburg prcved to be.
It might have been wise had Johnson drawee him
further into the State. As it is, Sherman's position
is full of peril. Sturgiss,
moving to his aid from
Memphis with a column of 8,000 men, suffered the
most thorough defeat since Bull Run, none of his
infantry escaping except As fugitives. Forrest,

The machine might
as well take its chance of crash at the bottom of
the hill as be upset at once in the attempt to control
it. There are, however, some things that will read
badly on the page of future history. The Federal
Government has invented. a number of crimes un-
heard of before. It new a crime for a New York
merchant to buy or sell_ gold on the public exchange,
he may be sent to gaol for it.
It is a crime for him

To make the matter worse, there is the silliness of
such things. Gold was at 95 when this Act was
passed to depress it, and a few days
afterwards it
was at 145 premium. The
ostrich that thinks to
become invisible by sticking its head in the sand is
about as near the mark as the legislators who
imagine they can arrest the depteeiation of an in-
flated currency by such means as these.

looks tempting. But these German Federals might
do well to inquire how the Union paid a similar
debt—that of the Revolutionary War. That debt
was trilling for the population and resources of the
day when contrasted with the Present sum total.
Yet when the excitement of the War ceased, though
the war was entirely successful, it was found im.
practicable to pay, and the settlement that was
made by no means amounted to so much as two-
pence in the dollar all round. Renee even from is
83 there is very considerable room to tumble.
Assuming that the utter failure of the Federal
operations cannot now be far distant, the question
that arises of chief interest to Europe is whether
the event will end the war. Undoubtedly it is
difficult to imagine how such financial machinery
can revolve much longer, for prices rise in response
to gold, and the enormous expenditure of the Go-
vernment increases daily. Its issues of paper in
one form or other mast, therefore, grow more pro.
fuse. But the stock of belief in the most credulous
of all civilised peokle is not to be exhausted in a day.

Henry Batho, said—Last night I went into an oyster
shop with Midmer, and while there saw the two organ men
and the prisoner pass the latter flourishing a stick. Midmer
spoke to the prisoner about flourishing the stick, and the
prisoner then clawed at Midiner's face, saying he could
speak good English. I went with Midmer into a public-
house, and on coming out in about five minutes, we found
the prisoner and the two men waiting at the public-house
door. The prisoner then walked up to Midmer and
caught hold of him—following him across the road to do se
—and Midmer and prisoner closed and fell. Midmer cried out
" Harry lam stabbed." I then went ;and pulled the pri-
soner di Midmer, and while doing so the prisoner stabbed
me under the bladebone, there being a wound six inches
in length, and also in the muscle of the arm about
three inches in length. I did not at first know that I was
stabbed, it was so momentarily done, and I struck the pri•
soner with my injured arm.
Mr Tyrwhitt—That accounts, I suppose, for the blood on
' the prisoner.
Batho—lt does, sir. I then became faint from the loss
of blood, but contrived to walk to the Middlesex Hospital.
A certificate was handed to Mr Tyrwhitt from the hos-
pital, stating the injuries the complainant had received.
Mr Henry Francis Martyn, tobacconist, of 54, Rathbone-
place, proved picking up the knife. There was blood on it
at the time, and he gave it to the police.
Mr Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week.
