MARKETS—This Day.

MARK LANE.
A very moderate supply of English wheat was received
fresh up to this morning's market. Both for red and white
qualities the demand ruled inactive, yet no change took
place in prices, compared with Monday.
There was a full average supply of wheat on the studs.
Sales progressed slowly in all descriptions; nevertheless,
the quotations were steadily supported.
Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate demand, on
former terms.
The supply of barley was very moderate, and the trade,
on the whole, ruled steady, at full prices.
In malt, about an average business was transacted, at pre-
vious quotations.
The supply of oats was very large, and the trade was in
a sluggish state for all descriptions, at a decline in prices,
compared with Monday, of 6d per quarter.
Beans and peas ruled firm, and prices were well supported.
Most kinds of flour changed hands slowly, at previous
rates.

quantity of East India has been disposed of, at about pre
vious rates.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Having received intimation that a tiger had
killed a bullock in a patch of jungle near Rajghat
on the Jumna, three Nimrods, more valiant than
discreet, started on foot a few mornings ago, de-
termined to carry out their plan at any risk. Hold-
ing in derision the usual mode of going on elephants,
with a battery of guns within reach, they found
their way to the forest on foot, each armed with a
double-barreled rifle. Sportsmen in the Sewalick
Hills are almost invariably followed by natives with
spare guns, as in the case of the first missing there
is generally time to take the second gun, and if not
kill, at least turn the animal from you. Even
this prosecution was neglected. The consequence
was, that they stumbled on a tiger, which very soon
managed to get the better of one of them. Major
Brownlow, of the Ss.haranpore Canals, received very
severe injuries in various places, and is now under
medical treatment. It seems that as they were
walking a few paces apart from each other, Lieut.
St. John, who was a little ahead, observed the tiger
about a dozen yards off in the bushes. He fired
his right barrel, then his left, one ball wounding
the animal very desperately, it having entered his
neck near the shoulder and passed into his body ;
yet it was not sufficient to prevent his rushing to-
wards the sportsmen. As he approached within a
few paces of Major Brownlow he fired, and then
somewhat at random, for the ball whistled harm •
lessly by. In a second or two the tiger was upon him,
and, striking him with his paw, at once laid him
prostrate. Lieut. J— now advanced to his friend's
rescue. He had discharged both barrels, and the
only resource left him was to lay hold of the muzzle
of the gun, and give the beast heavy knocks on the
head with the butt—a feat which he performed in a
manner that Milo, who, according to the historians
of his time, could floor an ox with his clenched fist,
might have envied. The blown were dealt with
tremendous force, and had the desired effect of
forcing the tiger to leave his intended victim
and retreat, though at a very slow pace, into the
adjoining thickets, where he was soon lost to view.
Tbis was indeed, a providential escape, and though
severely mauled the sportsman who came to grief
will soon be able " to take the field" again, if he
should be still inclined to risk life and limb in
another adventure of this sort.—Times of India

happy to see that this splendid building With its
beautiful auxiliary attractions having been restored is to

among others a complete orchestra; the world-renowned
paintings of "London by Day" and "Paris by Night,"
and the ingenious mechanical working picture of "The
City of Lisbon, and its destruction by Earthquake" are to
be exhibited for the last time. The fact that this will be
the last opportunity of viewing the beautilul works of art
combined with the other attractions of this instructive place

a Hobbs, after picking

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
SINGULAR HISTORY OF A THIEF—RECONNOITRING IN
MAYFAIR —Thomas Coyle, a tall thin man, with one arm,
and ames Goldsmith, both of whom lodge at low lodging-
houses in the neighbourhood of Tothill-street, Westminster,
were charged before Mr. Knox with loitering in Curzon-
street, Chesterfield-street, and Queen-street, Mayfair, and
going down several areas, for the purpose of committing
felonies.

William Kelly, 63 C, said that yesterday afternoon,
about five o'clock, he saw the two prisoners loitering in
the necghbourhood of Curzon-street. He watched th^m,
and saw Coyle go down several areas, while Goldsmith
waited for him at the top. Knowing that they had both
been in custody for robberies, he took them into custody,
when Coyle said that he had been to one of the houses, No.
4, Queen-street, to ask the housekeeper for a letter for the
hospital, and on his taking the prisoner there the house-
keeper said that Coyle had asked for a letter. Goldsmith
said that he only went with Coyle to assist him in getting
the letter. At the station the prisoners were searched, but
nothing was found on them, and, on making inquiries, he
found they lived at a very low lodging•house in St. Ann's-
street, Westminster.

Mr. Knox .sked if anything was known of the prisoners,
when Sergeant Birch, 25 B, a most experienced officer, gave
the following history of Coyle :
_

Sergeant Birch said that two years ago Coyle was tried
at the Clerkenwell Sessions, and was convicted and sen
tenced to two years' imprisonment, for going to a house in
Bolton-street, and while the servant had gone to ask her
master a question for the prisoner, who had gone on a ficti-
tious errand, he stole a purse, containing a cheque on
Messrs. Coutts' and Co.'s bank for £2O, and a number o'
sovereigns and shillings belonging to the Rev. Mr. Smith,
a clergyman from Dorsetshire. On the day Coyle was
taken into custody on the above charge he had been to the
house of the Hon.Xr. Walpole, Lowndes-street, Belgrave-
square, and stolen a gold chronometer of the value of 50
guineas, having asked the servant to get him a sheet
of note paper that he might write a letter to
the gentleman at the House. He had also stolen
some property of value from the dining- room of
the Misses Maitland, in Grosvenor-place. He also
attempted a similar thing at Lady Somers', in Grosvenor-
place. At one house he visited he introduced himself to a
lady of title, and shook hands with her, passing himself off
as one cf the Russell family, but the lady found out the
im-
petition, and instantly ordered him to leave the house. He
alse called at Lord Howe's, Curzon House, Mayfair, but
Lord Howe, seeing that he was an impostor, had him turned
out of the house. Several other persons have been also
visited by Coyle to their misfortune.
Goldsmith has also been unfavourably known to the
polio., it being his practice to call at houses with French
polish, and, after leavir g, several things have been missed.
He is also known as the associate of thieves.
Mr. Knox committed them for three months each with
hard labour.

THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON AT VICHY.—It is said
that the course of the waters is not alone to occupy
Louis Napoleon's time there, which is to be more exclu-
sively devoted, than it can be elsewhere, to the correcting
and setting in order of the last proof-sheets of the second
volume of the "Lire of Caesar," now nearly terminated'.
The two volumes are shortly to appear, and the Emperor's
desire to stand as a candidate for one of the vacant stalls of
the academy, which was at first treated as a joke, seems to
be a reality, and founded on his presumed merits as an
historian and the author of a work on waich he has bestowed
many years of labour and diligent research.—The Queeh,
of to-morrow—just published.

ORANGE LODGES—PRINCE EDWARD'S

In reply to Mr. MAGuIRE,
Mr. FORTESCUE stated that his noble friend at the
head of the Colonial-office had learned with regret that the
native Legislature had passed an act for the incorporation
of these lodges, because it was calculated to foment religi-
ous animosities. As the aot had not been received it would
be improper to state what advice the Government might feel
disposed to give her Majesty on the subject.
MONUMENTS IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY.

Mr. AYRTON inquired of the Secretary of State for
the Home Department, under what conditions monuments
erected by public subscription, in memory of public men,
could be placed in Westminster Abbey ; and whether it
was the fact that fees to the extent of £2OO were demanded
by the Dean and Chapter for permission to place the bust
of the late Sir G. C. Lewis in the Abbey, and for what
purpose the fees were applied ?
Sir G. GREY, in reply, read a letter from the Dean,
stating that permission to erect monuments rested with
himself and the House of Commons. He (the Dean)
was anxious to check the erection of monuments,
because they encroached upon the space required
for public worship. The fees demanded were the
same in the case of Sir James Mackintosh. The right hon.
baronet read a list of the modes of appropriating the fees,
&c., the balance being appropriated to repairing the fabric,
and other purposes.
ROAD FROM CHARING-CROSS TO ST. JAMES'S

Sir H. VERNEY asked the First Commissioner of

the Mall in St. James's-park ; and whether, if it was
thought desirable, he would take an early opportunity to
carry it into effeet ?
Mr. COWPER said the subject was under consideration.
To carry out the proposed plan it would be necesary to pull
down a house or two.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

MADLLE. PATTI AS NORINA.

"Don Pasquale" was produced last evening, in
order o enable Madlle. Patti to resume one of ner
most delightful and distinctive impersonations. As
we shall ever contend that her genius lies pecu-
liarly in the direction of comedy—we shall ever
assert that in the character of Norina it finds one of
its most striking exemplifications. Here also it
puts forth one of the strongest proofs of its
variety. As in Zerlina sht• exhibits the perfection
of rustic naturalness, in Norina her humour has a
refinement that is quite as obvious as its spirit, and
we feel her exertions to be again as true as they are
in the highest degree delightful. She was in ex-
cellent voice and spirits, and as a contrast to the
vivacity of her duet in the first act, and her " Via
caro sposino" in the last, her share in the lovely
" Tornami a der," on meeting her lover in the
garden, was marked with the utmost depth of ten-
derness end delicacy.
There were two drawbacks, however, to the entire
enjoymeni of the evening. Signor Ronconi, instead
of assuming Don Pasquale, as had been announced,
contented himself with the much less important
part of 'Malatesta ; and M. Naudin was the substi-
tute of Signor Maria it, Ernesto. As Signor Ron-
coni can assume nothing in which he will wholly
fail to gratify, his performance of the worthy
Doctor was of course highly diverting, however
incapable of atoning for his non-appear-
ance in a character of which, since the death
of Lablache, he has been the only representative.
Monsieur Naudin, who is especially a singer of
serious opera, was less successful in replacing one
of the best of lyric comedians in the lover; his
great intensity, which is often so effective in its
right sphere, rather tending to abate effect when
used in place of ease and humour. The serenade
was his best effort, which he sang with adequate
tenderness.

how can we maintain the efficiency of that navy in time of
war if our arsenals have been destroyed by the enemy ?
(Hear, hear.) The opinions of naval and military men have
been quoted against the scheme ; but it was very easy to get
opposite opinions in all matters, whether connected with
arts or sciences. Her Majesty's Government, however, have
taken the advice of those whom we consider competent men,
and in whom we have the utmost confidence ; and upon the
advice contained in the report of the Royal Commission we
have acted; and we consider, notwithstanding what has
been said to the contrary, that the series of fortifications we
propose are essential for the defence of the c',untry. (Hear.)
I therefore hope the house will not be led away by the mo •
tion of the hon. and gallant member, and reverse a formal
decision already come to, and upon which we have acted.
So far from this proposition being a disgrace to the Liberals,
I feel confident that the people are with us, and I should
have no fears for the result of au appeal to the country on
the question, The people of this country insist on being
kept secure from attack. We know we have seen constant
revulsions of opinion from panics, and the hon. member for
Rochdale, who has written a pamphlet on panics, ought
to be the last man to oppose that which is likcly to prevent
their recurrence. The country depends upon being de-
fended, and it was for the sake of security that 150,000 men
volunteered to take up arms, and from a feeling that inva-
sion was not a bugbear. (Hear.) I hope the house will
resist the motion of the hon. and gallant member. (Hear.)
