Naval and Military Intelligence,

We have received the following letter from a
Malta correspondent, dated the 28th of July :—Her
Majesty's screw steamship of the line Marlborough,
bearing the flag of the Commander.in-Chief, Vice-
Admiral Smart, K.H., accompanied by the Meeanee,
steam liner, Liffey and Magicienne, steam frigates,
re-entered port on the 22d, from a four days' cruise
in the offing of Malta, to try rates of sailing. She
left again on the 26th for another cruise in the
channel of Malta, to exercise great guns. The
Meeanee and Magicienne entered port on the 27th,
and put to sea again on the 28th. Her Majesty's
screw steam frigate Phoebe, relieved on the coast of
Syria by the Cossack, corvette, arrived on the 23d
of July, after a 12 day's passage, chiefly under sail.
Her Majesty's despatch steamer Psyche leaves for
Naples to-day, probably to announce the visit to
that port next month of a naval division under Vice.
Admiral Smart, deferred, it is reported, until the
return to Caprera of General Garibaldi from Ischia.
The Sultan's despatch steamer Peki Sherif arrived
from Constantinople on the 23d and left for Tunis
on the 24th of July, with despatches from the Sub-
lime Porte to the Sultan's Commissioner at Tunis,
with an offer, it is stated, of 25,000 mounted Bashi-
Bazonks, to put down the insurrecan of the

Charing-cross Redivivus.

The Old Cross at Charing (Chore .Refine) being in course
of re-erection, under the superintendence of E. M. Barry,
Esq., A.R.A., the following short notice of the original
structure may not be out of place :
Charing Cross was one of twelve crosses erected by Ed-
ward I. at each station at which the remains of his beloved
Queen ',Eleanor rested in the course of the transit from
Hardley, near Lincoln, where she died on the 28th Novem-
ber, 1290, to the Abbey of Westminster, where she was
buried. The body reached London on the lith December,
and was entombed on the 17th.
The cross subsequently erected on the last spot on which,
the body rested before burial was by far the most sumPtu-
oas of the crosses erected in memory of the good Queen.
It was begun almost immediately after her. interment ; for
we find particulars of the costs incurred m prosecuting the
“comen taring," but he died about the work contained in the Exchequer accounts for 1291 and
1294, temp. Edward I.
The building of the cross was begun by Master Richard
his brother.. It appears from the ac-
de Crundale,
Michael-
mas term, 1293, while the work was still in progress, and it
that Richard received about £560 for
the materials supplied by him,
was carried to completion under the direction of Roger de
and Roger
£9O 17s. sd.
Cwe
orouurzn:dseaxlreit
rsrieprobablydveotf.o
It is not known who supplied the design of
the cross, the Crundales being merely its builders. It is,
however, on record that Ralph de Chichester supplied the
lc virg. cepa. et anul.," and " Alexander le Imaginatur"
received five marks in part payment of statues which were
intended to be placed in the niches round the cross
(Arehavilogia xxix. 184.5).
The stone of the structure was brought from Caen, and
the marble from Corf. The steps round the base were of
the latter material, and the upper part of the structure of
stone. The cross was wantonly debtroyed by the Puritan
lit,ters iu the time of the Great 11,belli, n. The restored
cross is being erected by Mr B.rry tifilr iwrinctly
in the possession of Dr. Combe, but now in the Crowle
collection, British Museum..

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

:Before Chief Justice Erle, and Justices Byles and Keating.)
TAYLOR V. HUMPHREYS.-THE REFRESHMENT ACT.

Their lordships gave judgment in this case, which it will
be recollected was an appeal from the decision of the magis-
trates of Birmingham, who find the appelaut 40s. for serving
refreshments during the hours prohibited by the Refresh-
ment Act. The pnblichouse was situated at Moseley, and
on a certain Ssnday the police constables fund about 20 or
30 persons drinking therein. The landlord contended
they were travellerti and that had ho refused to
serve them with necessary refreshments he would
have been liable to action and fine. The magistrates de-
cided the men were not travellers within the meaning of
the act, and fined the landlord, and against this decision
appeal was made.
Their lordships said if the persons went to the house
knowing they could obtain refreshments during illegal
hours, then the decision of the magistrates was right; but
if they went thoro as excursionists then the landlord was
called upon to use his discretion as to the refreshments he
would supply. There was not sufficient evidence to prove
that the people found in the public-house went there for
the purpose of illegally procuring drink, and therefore the
decision of the magistrates must be overruled.
Judgment accordingly.

of life and manners. The story of the heroine's early years

PUNJAB.

It appears from recent adviees that this railway was com-
pleted from Mooltan to the 104th mile; that a train had run
over that portion of the line on the Ist September; and that
from the station near the 104th mile, towards Lahore, about
half a mile of permanent way was, being laid daily.
During the previous five hot months, through the energy
displayed by the platelayers and other persons employed in
the prosecution of the works, six miles of rails per month
had been laid down. This called forth high encomiums
from the Lieutenant-Governor, who desired it to be com-
municated to those connected with the works that the Go•
vernment considers it duo to all to express its high com-
mendation of their services.

The Viceroy had intimated his intention of officially
opening a large section of the line from Lahore towards
Mooltan on the 19th of October, and it was expected that
the whole of the railway, 252 miles in length, would be
opened for traffic in the month of January next.

MARLBOROUGH• STREET.

A GENTLEMAN CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING THE
POLICE ...Albert Martin Cater, gentleman, of 36, Frederick-
street, Gray's Inn-road, was charged before Mr Knox with
being drunk and disorderly in Tichbornesstreet, and as-
saulting Police constable John Fisher, 334 A.
Fisher said, on the previous night, about eleven o'clock,
he saw the defendant behaving in a disorderly manner
in Ticbborne-street, catching hold of females who were
passing. 'I•ho defendant tried to enter the London Pavilion,
but seeing he was drunk, he told him he had bettor go away
and come some other night. Defendant relused togo away,
and again caught hold of two or three females who were
coming out of the place, and mace another attempt to
enter. He prevented him doing so, when he struck him
twice on the head. He then, with the assistance of three
other constables, took defendant to the s'ation.

Dennison, 116 C, preyed assisting Fisher in taking de-
fendant to the station.

The defendant said he had been out with a few friends,
and got the worse for liquor,
Mr Knox said i.; could not be permitted that the police
should be knocked about while properly performing their
duty.

The defendant was then fined 20s or seven days.

WESTMINSTER.

AN INCORRIGIBLE JUVENILE DELINQUENT.--John
Lloyd, a boy between 13 and 14 years of age, was placed at
the bar charged with stealing a penny.
Mrs Susan Griffiths, of 40, Ebury-street, Pimlico, who
keeps a dairy, said Ulu last evening she was sitting in her
parlour when she heard the till in her shop open, and on
going there found the prisoner taking his hand from the
till with a penny in it. He had crawled round the counter
on his hands and knees to get to the till, and when disco-
vered endeavoured to get out of the shop, but was prevented.
The police were sent for, but as they were a long time com-
ing, the prisoner showed fight, and while prosecutrix was
overcoming her confusion at the circumstance, he bolted
out, but was followed and secured.

Mr Arnold—ls he known ?
Police—He has been twica before convicted of felony,
there was a similar robbery to this committed tho night
before in this street, of which he is suspected.
Prisoner—He's accusing me falsely. It was my own
penny I had in my hand, and she said it was hers, and it is
a shame.

Prisoner's father, a respectable-looking, hard-working
man, said, he had tried..all he could, but his son was incor-
rigible. He thought the only chance for him was to get
him to sea.

Prisoner—My sight is ehort, and they won't take me.
I have tried.

Mr Arnold (to the father)—Can you get a ship for him P
The father--I am sure I don't know; I will try.
Prisoner—They won't have me because of my sight.
Mr Arnold—ls there anything the matter with his sight?
The father—Not in the least, he can see as well as any
one here.

Mr Arncld—l will remand him for a few days, to give
you an opportunity of seeing whether you can get him a
ship. It would be much better that he should go to sea
than to prison.

PUNJAB.

It appears from recent advices that this railway was corn •
plated from Mooltan to the 104th ; that a train bad run
over that portion of the line on the Ist September; and that
from the station near the 104th mile, towards Lahore, about
half a mile of permanent way was being laid daily.
During the previous five hot months, through the energy
displayed by the platelayers and other persons employed in
the prosecution of the works, six miles'of rails per month
had been laid down. This called forth high encomiums
from the Lieutenant-Governor, who desired it to be com-
municated to those connected with the works that the Go•
vernment considers it due to all to express its high com-
mendation of their services.

The Viceroy had intimated his intention of officially
opening a large section of the line from Lahore towards
Mooltan on the 19th of October, and it was expected that
the whole of the railway, 252 miles in length, would be
opened for traffic in the month of January next.

HIS HOLINESS THE POPE.

The Giornale di .Roma of the 27th July contains
the following :-
1 "The Holy Father has just paid a visit to the
town of Albano, near Castel Gandolfo. One of the
canons of the cathedral delivered a congratulatory
address in Latin, to which the Holy Father replied
in the same language. The inhabitants of the town
gave his Holiness a most enthusiastic reception. The
band of the French regiment executed brilliant
symphonies on the occasion. All the balconies
were decked out with flags, and the people eagerly
solicited the apostolic benediction, which was given.
From the cathedral, the Pope went to the palace
inhabited by the royal family of Naples, where his
Holiness had a long conversation with the Neapoli-
tan Princes. The Sovereign Pontiff also visited the
Queen Dowager of Naples and the Infanta of Portu-
gal. In the chapel of the palace where the latter
resides, the Pope admitted the persons present to
the honour of kissing his foot. His Holiness after-
wards returned to Castel-Gandolfo."

His Honour said h€;.--nustlayClown a rule not to hear

been disposed of, and it would be desirable to take the un-
opposed cases each hour before the opposed cases, and that
would relieve many persons from further attendance. This
course was adopted this morning, and certainly afforded
considerable relief.

OLIVER GOLDSMITH IN TROUBLE.—At the Gal.
way Assizes last week Mr Whitton brought an
action against Oliver Goldsmith—who claims to be a de-
scendant of the poet—to recover the value of a diamond
ring, entrusted to the defendant for the purpose of having
its value ascertained in Dublin. The defendant, it seems,
placed it on his finger outside his glove, and before he had
proceeded tar on the road he missed it, and was never able
to find it. It was valued by its owner at £lOO, but the
jury set a more moderate value on it, and awarded the
plaintiff £2O and costs. It appears that the modern Oliver
has inherited the careless habits of his ancestor.
