WESTMINSTER.
IN THE LOWEST DEPTH IS A LOWER STILL.—MaTy
Ann Hudson, a woman about 25 years of ago, was charged
with being drunk, and using the most disgraceful and
offensive language to a lady, and otherwise misconducting
herself.
Sergeant Ayres, 27 D, said that there was a dress ball
last night at the Vestry Hall, King's-road, Chelsea, and
as the company entered the defendant posted herself at the
door and conducted herself very disgracefully, using a
most offensive epithet to a lady, who gave her no provoca-
tion, and who kindly repaid the insult by entreating that
defendant should not be taken into custody for it. Witness
then removed the defendant and sent a constable to watch
her, who finding that she continued her impropriety of con-
duct took her into custody, and conveyed her to the station.
The defendant, in reply to the charge, saici she never
used any bad language to any oue, although she admitted
that she had been drinking. Dennis, the gaoler, said she
was a wall known and most disorderly woman.
Defendant—Oh, dear me, no, I am not.
Mr. Selfe—l have only been at this court a twelvemonth,
and I have soon you here at least ten or twelve times.
Defendant—l always have the bad luck to be brought
before you.
Dennis—That is not true. She is quite as often before
Mr. Arnold. I think she has been here altogether' fifty
times.
Mr. Selfe—lt is my duty to protect the public from an-
noyance by persons of your class, and 1 shall certainly
do it. You are, unhappily, not only a person of a certain
immoral condition of life, but you become worse and worse,
and are an habitual drunkard. This sort of conduct can-
not be permitted to go on, and I now caution you for the
last time of the consequences. Now you are committed for
ten days; and nest time you come here I will send you, in
default of bail? to prisep. for six months.

A Turkish Magazine of Arts.

The Mejniooai Funoon (a monthly publication)
belongs to the Jemiyeti Ilmiyehi Osmaniyeb, or
Ottoman Literary Society, the newly- formed Useful
Knowledge Society, and is compiled by its mem-
bers. The editors are Munif Effendi and Kafiri Bey.
Among the contributors are H. H. Kiamil Pasha,
late Grand Vizier, H. E. Edhem Pasha, H. E. Safest
Pasha, H. E. Mehemed Jemil Pasha, Ambassador
in Paris, Said Effendi (now in London on a mission),
and Abu Bekr Effendi, Mussulman missionary at
the Cape. The latter has contributed a series of
letters on the Cape of Good Hope, which furnished
the groundwork of a cock-and-bull story, in the.
English papers, according to which, the missionary
of the Turkish Society for the Propagation of Islam
among the Christians hae depicted the dissensions
among the Christians at the Cape, how a Bishop
Colenso had criticised the texts of Scripture, and
how he believed that in ten years' time thesinhabi-
tants would abandon Christianity and adopt Islam ;
to promote which result, he recommended that a
number of well-paid Turkish missionaries should be
sent to the Cape, and that a liberal distribution
sheuld be made of well-written Mnssulman tracts.
The real history of Abu Bekr's mission is, per-
haps, more interesting than the imaginary one. In
Cape Town, a city of thirty thousand inhabitants,
ten thousand are Mussulmans, acknowledging the
Padishah as the head of their religion. When you
were in Constantinople, the Turks were much
tickled, by bearing from their Consul-General, Mr.
De Roubaix, that there were Mussulmans who only
spoke English or Dutch. It is a great satisfaction
to the Turks to have these Mussulman dependents
in an English territory, as they do not always bear
with perfect complacency the assertion of some of
the English here, that Queen Victoria is the greatest
sovereign over Mussulmans, and our ambassador,
Sir Henry Balwer represents the first Mussulman
power.
Dissensions on point of doctrine arising among
the Mussalmans at the Cape, the matter was re-
ferred to Stamboul; and the Sublime Porte, instead
of giving a verbal opinion, with great liberality
sent out a distinguished mollah, Abu Bekr Effendi,
well known in Stamboul circles, and they continue
to pay him a salary of £4OO a year. Aba Bekr
Effendi has done much to improve the religious and
moral condition of the Mussulmans of the Cape, and
has established a school there. He has communi-
cated to the Mei moocti Funoon some interesting ac-
counts of the Cape, and his proceedings ; not, how-
ever, mentioning one little fact which has interested
his numerous Stamboul acquaintance, that he
has married there an English-speaking Mussulman
lady, who is highly accomplished and plays the
piano, like several fashionable Khanums, in Stam-
boul. _

The Mejmooai, besides purely literary articles,
has articles on geology by Edhem Pasha, banking
by Munif Effendi and Kadri Bey, telegrams, &c.
As it is written in a good and pure style it is much
liked.

Duke Charles of Glueksburg,

The following telegrams have been forwarded to
us through Reuter's agency. Like the first state-
ment, from the same source, which we yesterday
contradicted, thef are concoctions of the Augusten-
burg faction, and are utterly unreliable :
AN BURG, JAN. 22.
" The Duke Charles of Gluckeburg, older brother
to the King of Denmark, has refused the oath of
allegiance under the following circumstances:—
" In November last the duke, with other landed
proprietors of Schleswig, refused to take the oath
of allegiance to the King. Subsequent to this
refusal he was induced, while in Copenhagen, to
sign a document containg the required oath, under
the promise that no proceedings should be taken
against the other persons who had refused in con-
junction with him to take the oath. On finding,
however, that this promise was not kept, Duke
Charles asked that the document should be returned
to him ; this having been done he destroyed it,
thus virtually refusing the oath.
" COPENHAGEN, Jan. 22 (Evening).
" It has been stated, as proof of the good under.
standing subsisting between the King and his
brother, Duke Charles of Glucksburg, that the
latter was present at the banquet recently given to
the Rigsdag. This statement is false. The duke
was not present at the banquet, and was not even
in Copenhagen on that day."

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE FOLLY OF TREATING STRANGERS.—A WELL-
KNOWN THIEF.—Emily Sinclair and Charlotte Johnson,
the former a well-known thief, were charged before Mr.
Knox, with stealing a watch of the value of £5, from the
person of a young man named Girling, porter at 12, Cork-
street, Burlington-gardens.
From the evidence of the prosecutor, it appeared that
about one o'clock this morning he went into the Duke of
York public house, Union-street, Oxford-street, and there
saw the prisoners. They asked him to treat them, and ho
did so, and on doing so he felt a tug at his watch, and on
looking at his chain found that his watch was gone, the
swivel of the chain having been broken. He accused Sin-
clair, who was the nearest to him of having taken it, and
thinking she might have passed it to the other pri-
soner, gave them both into custody. While on the way to
the station Sinclair dropped the watch from under her
clothes.

Police constable Wm. Claricoats, 72 C, said on taking
the prisoners into oustody, he observed Sinclair put her
hand under clothes, and while going along Oxford •street
she dropped the prosecutor's watch.
Mr. Knox asked if anything was known of the prisoners,
and Sergeant Fornett said that Sinclair had several times
been in custody for felony, and had once suffered 18
months' imprisonment.

Mr. Knox said he should discharge Johnson, and re-
mand Sinclair that tho convictions against her might be
proved.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JAN. 23, 1864.

The American news is of little importance.
Affairs, both civil and military, continued in that
same hopeless, helpless, undecided state, which this
disastrous war has far so long a period occasioned.
A war of defence, a war inspired by some high
P. rincip/e, gives nerve to the arm and. vigour to the
beart, and electrifies a whole nation with one irre-
sistible impulse. On the other hand, the
sword of the oppressor, as the Great Dra-
matic Poet has it, "is glued with orphans'
tears," and his arm rendered powerless by
a consciousness of injustice. If the American war
were, in truth, as Mr. GIBSON would fain believe, a
war for the extermination of Slavary, how very
different would be the conduct of the belligerents
and the issue of the battle. As it is, however, the
nation rather resembles a set of operatives suffering
under that greivous mistake—a strike. Activity is
suspended, and a general paralysis prevails. In
such a painful state of things, when the strength of
both opponents is nearly Equal, when the determi-
nation inspired by a good cause is counterbalanced
by the obstinacy which not unusually accompanies
a bad one, it is difficult for lookers-on to wait
patiently for the issue, pi otracted es that issue is
likely to be, end fraught in every case with most
direful results. It is possible that, before long,
some decisivs battle may affect the current of
events, and it is even within the limits of probabi-
lity that the voice of prudent friends from without,
or a last remnant of reason from within, may make
itself heard, and arrest at last the fatal work of
destruction. But we must confess that unfor-
we see no indication of such a
tuaately, as yet,
happy though tardy result. Among other rumours
in the intelligence of to-day, it is said that Mr.
LINCOLN has been already nominated by some
of the States as the new President at
the next election—a choice which does not evidence
any very great development of the reasoning powers
of the electors. The hopeful anticipations which
once surrounded the name of ABRAHAM LINCOLN,

Six Years of Editorial Life.

Six years ! 'Tis but a brief period in the life o
a man ; briefer still in that of a nation ; insignifi.
cant in the history of the world. Yet, what mo
mentous events may be crowded into that brie
space of time ! Even in ordinary life the influences
which it may exercise on a man's career and destiny
are ofttimes of no little importance. In six years
--aye and within a much more restricted period—
the whole purpose and tenor of one's life may be
changed, and a career opened up of which there erst
wan no foreshadowing. But, good reader, have you
ever thought of how much " life" is comprised in an
editorial career of a few years P We do not refer
to the outer life of the newspaper—to that which
presents itself to the eye of the public. We speak
rather of that inner life—tbat life of thought and
study—which the conductor of a public journal
necessarily leads. He, as it were, enacts over again
day by day, in imagination, all the varied scenes
which the more prominent actors on the world's
stage are presenting in real life. Ever on the look
out, constantly on the watch, his mind always occu-
' pied more or less with subjects of interest to the
world at large (and therefore Of little interest to
the thinker himself), his inner life—whatever may
be the popular idea regarding it—is not an enviable
one. Expected to be "up" on all subjects, from that
of an international quarrel, which may set the con-
tinent of Europe in a blaze, to that of the respective
merits of the candidates for a seat in a local council
board, it is little wonder if at last he feels as if he
lived not in himself at all, as if he had no personal
life, as if his whole existence were wrapped up in
" passing events." Happy is he who, leading an
editorial life, can at will shake off the "editor," and
even for a few hours emerge " the man." The task,
we fear, is a difficult one, and can only be accom-
plished by men of peculiar temperament. The
journalist, in most cases we believe, is the journalist
still—in the bosom of his family as well as in the
study ; in the recreative walk as well as at the desk ;
in the midst even of the festive assembly does his
profession haunt him like a spectre, and go far to
prevent that unbending from the serious business
of life which is so necessary to the maintenance of
bodily health. In no other profession, perhaps, are
the exigencies of thought and study eo incessant as
in that of the journalist. In scarcely any other
profession, probably, is there that entire absence of
occasional relief from responsibility. Did we not
say truly that in six years the journalist " lives" a
great deal more than most men do in the same
period P— Wexford Constitution:

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

AN IMPUDENT THIEF.—A tall young fellow, who gave
the name of Cornelius Donovan, was charged with steal-
ing a large roll of bad ticking from a tradesman's door.
William Chapman, of 44, Rochester-row, said that at
half-past 7 last evening he saw the prisoner loitering about
in front of his father's house, and not liking his appear-
ance, watched him. He saw him after suddenly disap-
pearing for a moment, walking away from the direction of
Mr Spanlow's, linen draper, with a large roll of something
under his arm. Witness acquainted Mr Spanlow, and fol-
lowed the prisoner, crying " Stop thief 1" Prisoner, who
ran very fast, when he found himself hotly pursued, threw
down the roll of bed ticking and again darted off. A youth
endeavoured to stop him, but he knocked him down and
went on; others endeavoured to arrest him,
but he escaped them, and being seized by a gen-
tleman, he endeavoured to shake him off, but failed,
the gentleman although thrown down seizing him tightly.
Prisoner—Let me ask him a question, your worship—

11;wifIhad this roll how did I get it ?
Witness—From Mr Spanlow's door, I suppose.
Prisoner—Did you see me take it from the door ?
Witness—No, I did not; but I saw you carry it away.
Prisoner—You didn't see anything.
Mr Charles Spanlow, 43, Rochester-row, said that the
roll was secured at his door and must have been cut away.
He saw the prisoner running with it, and several persons
attempted to stop him.
Prisoner—Do you say people tried to stop me ?
Witness—Yes, I de.
Prisoner—Nobody tried to stop me; they knew I hadn't
done anything, and why should they stop me.
Prisoner was remanded.

GREECE.

A communication from Athens in the Arenas:4r
says :—" The most important news of the day
(already announced to you by telegram) is the vote
of the Assembly by which the Senate is suppressed.
All parties approve of that resolution. The jour-
nals of all shades, from the Ministerial Grece to the
Aryl (Aurora), the Opposition organ, declare in
favour of s single chamber. The Aryi, more parti-
cularly, after having for several days placed at the
head cf all its articles the motto, The Senate is
useless ! Down with the Senate!' has just cele-
brated its suppression by a leading article orna-
mented with a wreath of laurels and roses, in the
middle of which is pieced the figures 221,' the
number of deputies who voted for the measure.
The article, in which emphasis and hyperbole pre-
vail, says After forty years' experience the
Hellenos have perceived that the crowning of the
edifice cannot be effected except by simplification.
The 19th September must be considered as a date of
emancipation, for that day has seen Greece deli-
vered from the scourge of Pharaoh ; this is to say,
from the Senate, an institutio❑ foreign to the coon•
try and to the habits of iti inhabitants.'"

Paris Autumn Meeting.

Delightful weather favoured the second day at Long-
champs. Of the five events on the• card three brought out
large fields, while the running for the Great Criterium—the
principal two-year-old race of the year—and the Omnium
or French Cesarewitch, rendered the day's business excep-
tionally interesting. The attendance was large and fashion-
able, the Imperial stand being occupied by the Emperor,
Prince Humbert, and the Princess of Leuchtenberg, with
their suites.

The racing commenced with a Selling Stakes, which
brought ten starters to the post; Mlle. Duchesnois and
Antinous enjoyed about equal favour, each finding suppor-
ters at sto 2. The selection of the two as favourites proved
correct by their coming in first and second. The winner to be
claimed for 3,000 f, was taken by M. Voisin for 6,275 f. The
two-yr-old race came next, and produced fourteen of the 22
coloured ; Duke de Morny's Lelio, by West Australian and.
Launcelot Mare, was made a warm favourite at 2 to 1 on
the strength of his running at Baden, where he came in
second to his stable companion Clermont; it was then
thought he might have easily taken first place had not his
party preferred winning with the other. As many as half a
&nil false starts ware made before tho lot could be got
fairly off, the cause being the anxiety of Le Bearnais' jockey
to get away in advance of the rest. When the lot did get
fairly under way, that horse was in front by a good half ri
dozen lengths, and tried, as had been apparently his inten-
tion, the cutting down system. His object was attained,
For after keeping the lead to the stands he was only over-
taken by Lelio, whom, however, he managed to shake off at
the post, and won by a short neck; those two at the finish

Report of the Late Italian Ministry.

TURIN, Oat. 4.
A decree has been issued, convoking the Italian
Parliament.

This decree is accompanied by a report, dated
Sept. 19, addressed to the King by the late Italian
Ministry, which says :
" At the moment we assumed the reins of govern-
meat, the Roman question was in such a condition
that it would have been unworthy and useless to
immedittely commence fresh negotiations. The
Government waited an opportunity, and hastened to
take advantage of it when it considered the general
state of affairs in Europe to be favourable. After the
deliberations of Parliament whic‘i were to guide the
Government, the Roman question could only be
solved by moral means. To obtain the application
of the principle of non-intervention it was neces-
sary to proceed in accord with France. The Emperor
of the French has always desired to be able to with•
draw his troops from Rome, not only from this act
being in conformity with the principles and public
rights whereon the Empire and its policy are based,
but also because the resurrection of Italy will be
one of the principal glories of his reign. But the
Emperor considered that he could not, by suddenly
withdra .7ing his troops in a body, abandon the
Power that he had protected during fifteen years
with his arms. Ia order to reassure the Catholic
sentiment, the Italian Government could not but
promise not to attack the Pontifical territory, and
to prevent any attack being made by irregular
bands from the frontiers of the Italian kingdom.
This promise loyally given and firmly kept, neither
destroys nor diminishes the rights or the aspirations
of the nation, but rather confirms the necessity of
operating solely by moral force to obtain the triumph
of the national ideas. Nevertheless, whilst the Gog
vernment was engaged with the Roman question it
did not forget the Venetian question. Austria en-
camped in Venetia might become a menace under
circumstances to be foreseen. The principal idea of
the King was always the organisation of a system
of defence necessitating the transfer of the seat of
government to a locality more favourably situated
than the present capital. Military considerations
caused Florence to be selected. This transfer,
although essentially a home question, is connected
with the Franco-Italian treaty—the conclusion of
which it has facilitated--from having been regarded
by France as a guarantee that Italy had renounced
the use of violent measures towards the Papacy."
The report then proceeds to speak of the sacrifices
made by Turin, and acknowledges its merits. In
conclusion, it expresses confidence that Turin will
follow the example of its King who has devoted
himself entirely to Italy.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OUT. 5, 1864.

Du-ing the last few days there have been many
speeches delivered in various parts of the country
which touched upon subjects of foreign importance
and of domestic interest. At an anniversary dinner
of the Beneficial Society, the Hon. RALPH DUTTON,
as one of the county members, addressed the
assembly. The hon. member appears to think that
there will not be a dissolution until the Spring of
1866. This is certainly strange intelligence,
although the reason given for it makes it not so
unlikely as might at first appear. Mr. DUTTON
declared that it was the intention of Lord PAL.
7iIERSTON to hold the house together as long as he
could. He then went on to comment upon the fact
that the noble lord this month would reach his
eightieth year, but that that circumstance did not
detract from his ability to fulfil the duties of his
responsible position. " Since the time of WILLIAM
of ORANGE it has not been known for a Prime
Minister to lead the country at the age of eighty
years," said the speaker, and certainly it is a re-
markable event in the annals of the statesmanship
of the land. Much may be attributed to the noble
lord's easy way of taking things; he does not give
way to the " fret that doth consume us," but always
endeavours to take the bright side of things. Setting
aside the consideration of politics altogether, the
noble lord must be regarded as a bright example
to the palitical world for energy and perseverance.
By his zeal in continuing his work to the
last he proves that he is still imbued
with the spirit of his more active years,
and takes an interest in public affairs which
no private considerations can cancel or supersede.
Mr. DUTTON announced his intention of retiring
from the representation of South Hants at the next
general electioc,'n consequence of objections having
been. 'taken to his vote in the great division of the
sess'.on. He is justified in the adoption of such a
course ; and, in acting in conformity with the opts
niona that have been suggested to him by others,
that "those who held Conservative opinions should
represent the Conservative opinions of those who
elected them upon all occasions." it is a very awk■
wtoal combination of events wizen, at the moment
of a great party division, numbers desert the stan-
dard
under which they are sal posed to be enrolled,
and this it is which so dun mars the ctlf,ct of well
organised schemes of attack, and defeats efforts
whose success might eventually greatly benefit the
country. Mr BUTTON made the old mistake of
asserting that he could not give a vote which would
plunge the country in war. In the first place, it
was by no means certain that the result of the Con.
servatives taking office would have been war ; and
a)so, it is the duty of members to consider which
is the most direct and honourable course for their
country to pursue, and not only which is the safest
and the most convenient. Sir JEavis C. JERVOISE,
the colleague of Mr. DUTTON, was of quite a con.

CHARGE OF STABBING.—TWO SIDES TO A QUESTION.—
John Thompson, a labourer, was brought before Mr Paget,
charged with cutting and wounding Stephen Barry, a
cooper.
The presecut r, an Irishman, who appears to have acted
very generously to th 9 prisoner, said he had no home, and
he took him into his lodging and treated him well with the
bite and the sup, because he was in distress. Yesterday
afternoon, at 3 o'clock, the prisoner came home and vio-
lently shoved open the door. He asked him why ho did it,
to which the prisoner made no reply, but asked another
question, " Have you any money." lie said to the prisoner,

4, What has it to do with you whether I have or not." The
prisoner then said, "I'll give you something very soon,"
and took a table knife off the table and stabbed him in the
wrist of his right arm.

Mr Paget—And you are compelled to keep your arm in a
sling ?

Barry—Yes, sir, and I cannot go to work. I tried to
stop the prisoner, but he ran away. I followed him till I
saw a constable, and then gave him into custody. Before
he struck me with the knife he said he would do fur me.
I offered him no provocation at all.

Mr Howard Dilworth, surgeon, said he had examined
the wounded man, who was bleeding from an incised wound
which had cut through an artery on the right wrist. It
was 3 inches long, and might have been inflicted with a
table knife. It might prove a serious wound.
The prisoner said there two sides to a question, and his
version of the affair was this—" Well, your Worship," he
continued, " I lodged with that young man. When I came
home yesterday, he was at home before me. I asked him
for the key of our room, and he made a laugh of it, and
would not open it for me. I knocked in the door with my
feet. Barry came to me and struck me on the mouth twice.
We were both the worse for liquor, and he fbll. He cut
himself with something. He kept running up and down
stairs. He cut my mother, and he injured my eyes."
Mr Paget committed the prisoner for trial at the next
Old Bailey Sessions.
