State of Trade,

CARDIFF, July 2G.—Tho intelligence that a modified
tariff bill has been adopted in America has given increased
activity to the iron trade, and it is expected that the ship-
ments of iron to Now York will be considerable during the
next few months. The inquiries from the other foreign
markets aro moderately good. The reduction announced by
some makers has not led, as was expected, to any large
number of orders coming in, and it is known that buyers
are still holding back specifications with the idea that
the first class houses will ultimately reduces their prices
as well. In steam coal there is an average business

A 13 AP.ItI s MISFOIITUNE.—In a cause which
War e3iled on it the Maidstone Assizes yesterday,
it was stated that Mr Morgan Howard, who was instruct°
to conduct the case for the ilaintiff, could not appear in
court owing to his portmanteau, containing his wig, bands,
and the other paraphernalia of his profession, having been,
either stolen at the railway station or mislaid. The junior
counsel in the case, under these circumstances, applied to
the learned judge, amid some merriment, to allow the trial
to stand over for a short time to see wh,,ther the missingarticles could be recovered. Sergeant Parry, who appeared
for the defendant, did not oppose the application, and the
court consented to postpone the hearing of the 0:150.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

BREAMING OPEN A TILL AT MESSRS. SAVORY AND
MOORE'S —Henry Camins, errapd-boy in the employ of
Messrs. Savory and Moore, chemists, 220, Regent-areet,
was charged before Mr Knox with breaking open a till and
stealing the sum of £8 Se. 3d., the moneys of his
employers.
Mr Foster Blades, assistant, in the employ of Messrs.
Savory and Moore, said that about half-past 11 on the 13th
of July, while sitting in a room at the back of the chop the
prisoner asked him whether ho should turn cff the gas. He
told the prisoner to do so. Shortly after the porter made
a communication to him, and on going into the shop he
found a till, which he had seen safe up to half-past 10, and
the key of which ho had in hie pocket, had been broken
open, and some money abstracted, and from a till which
had not been locked, some more money had been taken.

George South, porter, in the employ of Messrs. Savory
and Moore, said that shortly before 12 o'clock, on the night
of the 13th of July, hearing the prisoner going down stairs
he called to him, but received no answer. As the prisoner
did not again come upstairs, ho went down and asked Mr
Blades if he had sent the prisoner out. Mr Blades said he
had not, and then went into the shop and found the till had
been broken open. On making a further search he (witness)
found that the prisoner had left the house by the back door,
two doors which he (witness) had locked at half-past 11
being open.
William Richardson, 212 C, said the prisoner was given
into his custody last night in Carnaby-street, and on telling
him that he was charged with breaking open a till at Messrs
Savory and Moore's, ho said he knew nothing about it, and
that they would not get anything out of him.
Mr Blades said he heard a noise in the shop, but thought
it was the prisoner putting down his bed, as he slept there.
Mr Joseph Walker, another assistant, gave evidence
which showed that £6 8s 9d had been abstracted from one
till (the sum of a 12s being wrapped in paper in the same
till and 'at untouched), and £1 19s 6d from the other.
The prisoner, who made no answer to the charge, was
remanded for a week.

THAMES.

A SAD Cass,—Mr Barratt, a vestryman of the Hamlet
of Ratcliff, accompanied by the clerk to the vestry, intro-
duced to the notice of the magistrate, Mr Paget, a poor
deaf and dumb woman named Emma Fennel, and said their
excuse for speaking on behalf of the woman was that she
could not speak for herself. On Saturday last her husband,
a journeyman tailor, who was also deaf and dumb, was run
down by a fire engine on its way to a fire in Devonport-
street, Ratcliff, and killed. The poor widow was left with
two young children, one 5 years and the other seven
months old, to maintain. The two gentlemen assured the
magistrate that the bereaved widow was a very respectable
and deserving woman, and in great distress. She was un-
able to bury the remains of her late husband.
Mr Paget—Has an inquest been held ?
Mr Barratt said the inquest was held yesterday morning,
and a verdict of accidental death returned. He was pro-
ceeding to relate some other facts concerning the poor
woman and her children, when
Mr Faget said there was no occasion to say more. He
was quite satisfied this was a very deserving case, and there
was no doubt the unfortunate deceased did not hear the
engine approaching him, and was knocked down and lost
his life. He ordered that a sovereign should be given fiom
the poor-box fund, and hoped she would moot with sympa-
thy from the benevolent,

NEW YORK, July 15, p.m.
The money market continues very stringent.
Gold closed dull at 2504, a fall of 27 during three
days. This decline is attributed entirely to the
tightness of the money market. It is said that
Secretary Fess^nden has not succeeded in effecting a
loan from the banks, and that the immediate re-
quirements for money by the Government will be
met by a further issue of legal tender notes.
Exchange is dull at 274 for bankers' bills.

COCKERMOUTH AND WORKINGTON.

The statement of accounts for the past half year shows
that the receipts from various sources during the six months
were £7,982, and the working expenses and rates, interest,
taxes, &e., £5,377, leaving a balance of £2,605, making,
with a small balance from the preceding half year, a sum of
£2,972 available for dividend. This will allow a dividend of

command the trade from which they had hitherto been ex-

regarded this as a somewhat important meeting. They had
worked patiently, and now presented an honest dividend of
2 per cent. (Applause.) This was satisfactory, and it
had been achieved without taking unfair advantage of any
company. He hoped by persistence in the same policy they
would obtain still more encouraging results in future time.
(Cheers.)
Mr FENION (deputy-chairman) seconded the motion.

The report was unanimously adopted, the preference and
guaranteed dividends were declared, also a dividend at the
rate of 21 per cent, per annum on the ordinary stock, the
Gersten and Liverpool shares were consolidated into stock,

out of Government contracts, and old naval officers
can bear witness to the worthlessness of many of
their ships. Greenwich pensioners, too, could spin
strange yarns about " the forty thieves," " the
jack-ass frigates," and the " ten-gun coffins."
Modern times are not so much improved if we may
take the gunboats built during the Crimean war as
a sample. The contract system is essentially one
for time of peace, when there is leisure to inspect or
reject the goods supplied, but in the hour of danger
or emergency the country should be able to depend
upon its own resources. We cannot fear, therefore,
that so preposterous a scheme will obtain the favour
of the country, or secure the sanction of Parliament.
The rest of the report recommending the construc-
tion of a first-class dock in Cork harbour, and im-
provements at D2vonport and Keyham, in addition
to the remarks on our foreign dockyards, shows so
much good sense and practical perception of the
wants of the service, that we can only marvel that
the committee should have been induced to make so
extraordinary and extravagant a proposition.

wandering poor.

The iirl of POWIS did not approve of the method
proposed to be adopted for the collection
.of the money to
La expenthd is the relief of the casual poor.
Earl FORTESCUE condemned the delay that hat
taken plane in introducing a measure of the nature then
bafore the house. He was, however, thankful that a bill
had been brought forward, and although he did not ap..
prove of the machinery for earry'ag it into effect, he
should give it his support.
Lord REDESDALE said the Poor Law Board was very
blameable in delaying the introduction of such a bill until
the last day or two of the session. The measure was a
very crude one, and there was no time for amendment. He
thought it injudicious to accede to the passing of the measure
during the present session, and unfair to ask Parliament to
do so. He moved that the bill be read a second time that
day three months.
After a short discussion, the amendment was negatived
without a division, and the bill was read a second time.

BRITISH AND FOREIGN RAILWAY PLANT.
The second annual meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the office, New Broad-street ; Mr J. Bothell in
the chair. _ _

The report stated that the balance-sheet had been prepared
by Messrs. Quitter, Ball, and Co., in order that the share-
holders might have confidence in its accuracy. A large pro-
portion of the second issue of shares had been taken by the
original proprietors, aid the directors had disposed of a por-
tion of the remainder at a premium of £760, which had been
carried to the credit of the account for preliminary expenses,
which now stood at £3,065 against the company. As a great
portion of the profits consisted of paid-up shares and secu-
rities of public companies, the Board, in agreeing to the
amount of dividend to be recommended, had proceeded with
great caution, and they proposed that the dividend on the
present occasion should be limited to the rate of 16 per cent.
per annum free of income tax. The directors hoped by
careful management not only to maintain this rate of divi-
dend, but to increase it. The contracts accepted had been
those only which, among many offered, had appeared to be
most free from risk. The paid-up capital was £61,490..
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said the business was going on most favourably, and they
were not only doing a considerable business, but more was
offered than they could immediately undertake. Great care
had been taken with the accounts, so as to make an ample
reserve for any contingency. The profit available for divi-
dend was £11,939, and this balance was left after deducting
an interim dividend at the rate of 10 par cent. per annum
for the half year ending 31st December last.
Mr LAVER seconded the motion for the adoption of the

report.
Mr TURNER. asked several questions with regard to the
accounts and management of the business, which were
answered by the chairman and Mr Box, the manager, with
which Mr Turner said ho was satisfied.

Resolutions were passed adopting the report, confirming
the interim dividend at the rate of 10 per cent, per annum
for the half year ending Dec. 31, 1863, and declaring a divi•
dend at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum for the past half
year, free of income tax, leaving a balance of £6,000,
The retiring directors were re-elected, and also Mr Hard-
ing, the retiring auditor. Mr Griffin was elected an auditor
on the motion of Mr Turner, and £3O each per annum was
voted for their services.
Thanks were voted to the chairman, directors, and ma-
nagers, and the meeting sepal ated.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 1864.

The Moniteur of last night announces a heavy loss
to France and the EMPEROR in the death of Marshal
FELISSIER, the Due de Aralskoff, and the official
announcement is, in this instance, something more
than a mere form of customary compliment. The
death of the gallant soldier whose name is associated
with the triumphant issue of the Crimean campaign,
whose ducal coronet was earned in the stormy
glories of the Malakoff, cannot fail to excite very
general interest and regret. In this country the
brave old Marshal has a double claim upon our
sympathies. As a Soldier and as a Diplomatist,
Marshal P ELISSIER is an object of peculiar interest
to the English plople. Side by side with our own
chiefs, he led the allied armies of FrancJ and
of victory, and since then, when
England in the day
Ambassador from the Court of the Tuileries to that
of St. JAMES, at a time of particular diplomatic dif-
ficulty, he fulfilled his mission with a tact and 118.
cretiou hardly to ha7e been exp:cted from his war-
like antecedents. The embassy of Marshal
PELISSIER is still fresh in the popular recollection,
rendered more remarkable, as it was at the time, by
the marriage of the veteran Duke. Since that
period the whilom Ambassador has re-
ceived yet greater honours at the hands
of his Sovereign, having been appointed
Governor cf Algeria, where many of hia earlier
laurels had been gathered—laurels tarnished, un-
London, England, 1864-05-25

happily, by unnecessary bloodshed, Marshal PELIS-
SIER in his earlier days had been somewhat too
much of a disciplinarian. His sterner qualities were
in his later years tempered with moderation and
prudence, so that at the last he came to
be regarded only as conspicuous for the virtues
of the soldier. Those virtues are now over
—his gallant sword will never again be
unsheathed by its master's hand. The " paths of
glory" have again led but "to the grave. Peace
to his ashes! He leaves behind, the memory of a
gallant soldier and a loyal citizen Frenchman
whose name was dear to his country's friends and
terrible to her foes—such a reputation is a posses-
sion no less honourable and no lees enviable than the
ducal coronet that adorned his brows, or the mar-
shal's baton wielded by his hand.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF FELONY.--Fred. Noah,
a boy between 13 and 14 years of age, was placed in the
felon's dock, charged with feloniously stealing two penny
pies from the person of Andrew Edwards, a boy about a
year his senior.
Prosecutor said he lived with his grandmother at 6,
Moore-street, Chelsea, and was sent by her last evening to
Mr Godfrey's at Knightsbridge for two penny pies. He
had just left the shop with them in a paper when the pri-
soner came in front of him, and while he was being held
by two or three of his companions stole the pies.

Mr Arnold—What became of them ?
Prosecutor—They ate them,
Mr Arnold—Are any friends of the prisoner here ?
The mother, a very respectable-looking woman, said
that she had been a widow for some years, and the pri-
soner was her son. She had to go out and work for her
living, and was sorry to find that her son had so committed
himself, but she assured the magistrate it was not for want
of prner care and attention on her part in bringing him up.
Mr Arnold—What is his general conduct?
The Mother—He is very troublesome, and I am sorry to
say I am afraid he has got connected with some bad boys
in our neighbourhood.

James Barber, 17 B, said that when he took the prisoner
into custody upon the charge he denied that he had taken
the pies, but subsequently admitted the fact. .

. ,
Mr Arnold (to the mother)—lf you had a husband living
the course I should adopt would be to give the prisoner over
to him to be well whipped, but as there is little probability
of your being able to administer the required chastisement
I shall commit him for four days to the House of Correo-
tion, and then order him to be whipped.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE,

The " Corsican Brothers " Wab revived at this theatre
last evening, at the express desire of the Prince and
and Frincess of Wales, who honoured the house with their
presence. There are few plays more picturesquely tragic
than the " Corsican Brothers," and, in the influence it exer-
cises upon the imagination by means of well•arranged
visions, one great cause of its popularity undoubtedly re-
sides. Another reason is to be found in the fact that the
play practically inculcates the theory of retributive justice.
Sweet is revenge—especially to playgoers, who, however
indisposed to countenance vindictiveness in real life, dearly
love to see villains paid out in their own coin upon the
stage. The "Corsican Brothers" was placed upon the
stage last night with remarkable beauty of scenic appoint-
ment, and that it was brilliantly acted, enough will have
been said to account for the favour with which the piece
was received by a numerous and distinguished audience.
Mr. G. Vining sustained the characters of Louis and
Fabien do Franchi, and in each case played with equal
ability. His performance was exceedingly spirited and
effective, and his " make-up " capital. Mr. Walter Lacy,
who attained much distinction by his performance of
Renaud when the piece was produced at the Princess's
some years ago, resumed the character, performing it in his
usual impressive manner. The subordinate personages of
the play were efficiently represented.
The melodrama was preceded by the " Comedy of
Errors," with the brothers Webb as the two Dromios, and
followed by the farce of "Born to Good Luck," with Mr.
Dominick Murray ae Paddy O'Rafferty,

FATAL ACCIDENT BY THE FALL OF A BUILDING.

of the outer walls fell upon them with such force as to
break the floor, and throw the poor fellows into the cellar.
One of the men was completely buried beneath the ruins,
and the others were struck heavily. The first-mentioned,

THAMES.

ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Jane Smith, a dowdy-look-
ing Nyman, aged 36, was brought before Mr. Paget charged
with stealing a large quantity of property belonging to Mr.
William C. Caldwell, her master.
The prosecutor is a tailor, dwelling with his family at
19, King's-place, Commercial-road-east. The prisoner had
been in his service fourteen months. For some time past
articles had been missing almost daily. On Sunday two
silver teaspoons were missing, and Miss Caldwell, the pro-
secutor's daughter, spoke to the prisoner about it. The
prisoner said the spoons would be found again, and next day
they were forthcoming, and about the same time a pair of
boots were missed. Next day more property was gone,
and the police were consulted. The prisoner was given into
custody, and the greater portion of the stolen property
traced. Mr William Farebrother, assistant to Messrs,
Dicker and Scarlett, pawnbrokers in Hereford-place, Com-
mercial-road, produced a large bundle, containing twenty
pledges, which the prisoner had pawned at various times
between the sth of April and the 23d of May. The last
pledge was a pair of boots, on which money was raised to
pay the principal and interest on a pair of silver teaspoons
pawned some time before. The articles produced consisted
of silk handkerchiefs, petticoats, pillow-cases, tablecloths,
sheets, men's boots, shirts, and a variety of other articles.
Six duplicates were delivered to Miss Caldwell by the
prisoner. Others were taken from her by a constable named
Daniel Higgins, No. 53 H, who said there were other
things pawned by the prisoner at other pawn offices.
The prisoner, in defence, said she had nothing at all to
say. She previously said while Mr. Fairbrother was
naming the goods I took them there.
Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial.

The Masonic body of Paris was informed at its
last meeting that the Emperor restored to it the traditional
right of electing its Grand Master. This announcement
was received with enthusiastic applause, and Marshal
Magnan, who held his nomination by imperial decree, was
unanimously re-elected by the delegates of all the lodges
present.
