suffer itself to be stultified after such a fashion. For
any good that the representatives of the people are
effecting they might just as weal now be in the

recess, and better in some respects, for then foreign
nations could not say that the glory of the English
Parliament was over, and that what remained of its
power to impress and influence had become ts
mockery and a delusion.

SIIGAR ROBBERY.—William Metcalf, a carman, was
brought before Mr. Partridge charged with stealing 1091bs.
of sugar.

There have been many cases of this description heard
at this court. A desperate and lawless gang are con-
tinually prowling about the east end of the metropolis,
in waiting for the sugar waggons, and instigating the
carmen to rob their employers. An offender of this class
named Denan, carman to Mr. James Bryant, was come
witted from this court a fortnight ago for having, in
concert with two others, stolen a bag containing lcwt,
2qrs. of sugar from a load in Lambeth-street, 'White-
chapel. He was convicted yesterday at the Middlesex
Sessions.

Mr. Thomas Scott, of No. 70, Christian-street, St.
George's-in-the-Fast, said he was foreman to Mr. George
Scott, the executor of the late Anthony Scott, of the
same place, carman and general carrier. The prisoner had
been in that employ as carman for four or five years. He
sent the prisoner to the East India Docks on the 4th inst,
with an order for the delivery to a van of 75 bags of sugar.
The prisoner returned to Mr. S,oa's promises with the
load of sugar, and the van stood there all night. On the
following morning he went to the premises of Messrs. Hart-
mean and Sons, the sugar refiners, and saw the van stand-
ing there. He then discovered that three of the sugar bags
had been cut and some of the contents abstracted from
each.

Mr. Partridge—What amount of sugar has been stolen ?

Witness-109 lbs. has been stolen from the three bags.

Porter William Dunaway, a detective officer, 129 H, said
the robbery had been effected during the transit of the sugar
from one place to another, while in the prisoner's charge.
He produced the bags, which had been cut open, He begged
a remand of the prisoner, and said he expected to have the
others concerned in the robbery in custody very shortly.
Mr. Partridge remanded the prisoner until Friday.

PRINCE BLOSSOM IN THE LAND OF SHADOWS!
Is written expressly for this establishment by W. F. Vander-
veil, author of the celebrated " Enchanted Hash," and en-
ables Mr. Morton, with the aid of Professor Pepper's Optical
Illusion (known as the Ghost), to produce effects never before
contemplated, and which have all teen duly registered by
him and Mr. J. H. Weston under the title of " The Ghost in
the Magic Fountains." By this new arrangement, that
which is in reality nothing but a shadow, becomes to all ap-
pearance endowed with life, and when "Fame" takes her
flight through the burning Cataracts, and the Naiads seek
their beds in the Crystal Waters, form a coup d'ceil of beauty
unparalleled even in fairy romance.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arr:ves of home
grown wheat were very moderate, and for the most part in
poor condition. The trade for all qualities is in a sluggish
state, at Monday's decline in the quotations of is per qr.
The market was well supplied with foreign wheat. The
amount of business transacted was very moderate, yet prices
ruled stationary.

Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at about
previous rates.

The supply of barley on sale was tolerably large. With
the exception of fine malting qualities, which commanded
previous quotations, the trade ruled heavy, and several
samples were disposed of at very low prices.
A limited business was transacted in malt, at barely late
rates.

Oats, the supply of which was moderately good, were in
slow request, at Monday's currency.
Beans and peas' met a slow sale, at the late decline in
their value. The show of samples was tolerably large.
In flour sales progressed slowly, at previous currencies.

HER MAJESTY'S MEMOIRS.—Who is to publish
her Majesty's new book ? Tho first publication
from tha Royal pen was issued, we believe, in 1834 when
the Princess Alexandria Victoria was in bar sixteenth
year. It was a small volume of poetry—a mere pamphlet
—and was only distributed amongst the immediate mem-
bers of the Royal circle. A copy was lately sold at the sale
of the library of the Princess Elizabeth. That her Ma-
jesty is engaged upon a literary undertaking connected
with the history of her reign, has certainly been stated in
♦arious Continental journals, which, upon all matters
rolaiive to the proccedingt; of royalty in this country, appear
to possess some secret sources of information not open to
the home jouruals.—Lonclon Review.

Anson's Dramatic Alnzanack for 1864.

The eighth yearly issue of this beautiful little
bijou of an almanack demands from us some brief
but earnest recognition of its merits as a perfect
repertory of histrionic information. It is still care-
fully compiled and revised by its originator, Mr. J.
W. Anson, one who has been for a long while
past so well and honourably known in the
Dramatic Profession in the Metropolis, and this
too in more than one responsible capacity—as Secre-
tary of the Royal Dramatic College ; as Secretary of
the Dramatic, Equestrian, and Musical Sick Fund ;
and, best of all, perhaps (certainly to the general
public) as the Treasurer of the Theatre Royal Adelphi.
The proceeds of the very compact and portable little
aimanack here referred to, as annually published under the
supervision of Mr. Anson, are, year after year, handed over
by him to the Sick Fund, of which, as above mentioned, he
is the secretary. The furtherance of the interests of the
Dramatic Almanack, therefore, is in itself distinctly an act of
benevolence. But even looking at Mr. Anson's charming
little almanack apart from this very attractive consideration,
it is in itself so singularly interesting and valuable a com-
pilation illustrative of the artistic professions to which it
relates that it readily enough secures for itself the wide
and widening circulation which we believe it en-
toys. That truly and it is really exceptional as an
aimanack, may be at once intimated by our mentioning, as
among the, number of its contents, an extraeadinary re-
cord of the Great Events of the Drama for 2,300 years I A
list of the first appearances of celebrated artists i And,
together with these details, a mass of useful information in
reference to the managers and theatres, not only of London,
but besides those in the Provinces, in America, and far
away at the other side of the globe, even in Australia.

ONCE A WEEK.—The forty-fourth monthly
part of this cheap popular illustrated weekly mis-
cellany is mainly remarkable for two serial stories
—Harriet Martineau's Son Christopher, and Adol-
phus Trollope's Beppo the Conscript, the former of
the two absurdly illustrated by Mr. Millais, that new and
rarely-gifted academician, who is apparently bent upon
industriously frittering away his powers as a book illus-
trator. An extraordinary variety of papers, in prose and
verse, complete in this forty-fourth part, at once the 234th
weekly number and the sixth volume of " Once a Week,"
the aim of which periodical still appears to be the serial
publication of the very lightest contributions to the current
light literature of the age.

PRISON DISCIPLINE.

The annual report of Mr. Herbert Voules, inspec
tor of prisons in the northern district of Great
Britain, has been issued. It brings to the notice of
the Government the difference between England
and Scotland in regard to the punishment of prison
offences. In England there are definite rules, which
limit the authority of the visiting justices and the
governor ; in Scotland there may be said to be none,
except that the use of handcuffs and fetters is limited
as in England. The rules framed by the late General
Board of Directors of Scotch prisons content them-
selves with stating generally that punishment for
misconduct in prison " must not be more severe
than is considered necessary to produce the
desired effect." Flogging is, indeed, prohibited
in England; it may be ordered by the visiting jus-
tices in the case of prisoners convicted of felony or
sentenced to hard labour, and the inspector is con-
vinced that the power is much required for the main•
tenance of discipline in Scotch prisons. The account
given of severalof the Scotch prisons is unsatisfactory.
Ventilation is often defective, and the atmosphere of
the cells is sometimes found very offensive. The
prison staff is in many cases deficient in strength, and
sometimes in other particulars. In DIM barton prison
the matron set a female prisoner to work by herself
in the kitchen with the key of the inner door of the
prison lying on the table, the outer door being left
open for the admission of workmen ; the prisoner,
of course, was soon outside the gaol. The report in-
cludes the northern and north• midland parts of Eng-
land, as well as Scotland. It is stated that much
mischief is still allowed to be caused by intercourse
of the prisoners with one another, the hardened with
the fresh ; and the helpless conditi)n of discharged
prisoners still almost drives them to their old haunts
and associates. In Newcastle Gaol there was a
young man of 23 who had been convicted 36 times,
and a woman of 35 who had been in that same pri-
son 50 times before. They seem to belong to the
class of whom the Ordinary of Newgate said before
the Commission on Transportation that mercy to
such persons is nonsense. A rather curious state
ment is made respecting Carlisle County Gaol, that
the visiting justices have authorised the governor to
give employment (other than hard labour) to all
prisoners committed from the counts court, arid that
may account for the small number of debtors in this
gaol.

Anson's Dramatic Almanack for 1864.

The eighth yearly issue of this beautiful little
bijou of an almanack demands from us some brief
but earnest recognition of its merits as a perfect
repertory of histrionic information. It is still care-
fully compiled and revised by its originator, Mr. J.
W. Anson, one who has been for a long while
past so well and honourably known in the
Dramatic Profession in the Metropolis, and this
too in more than one responsible capacity—as Secre-
tary of the Royal Dramatic College ; as Secretary of
the Dramatic, Equestrian, and Musical Sick Fund ;
and, best of all, perhaps (certainly to the general
public) as the Treasurer of the Theatre Royal Adelphi.
The proceeds of the very compact and portable little
aimanack here referred to, as annually published under the
supervision of Mr. Anson, are, yearafter year, handed over
by him to the Sick Fund, of which, as above mentioned, he
is the secretary. The furtherance of the interests of the
Dramatic Almanack, therefore, is in itself distinctly an act of
benevolence. But even looking at Mr. Anson's charming
little almanack apart from this very attractive consideration,
it is in itself so singularly interesting and valuable a com-
pilation illustrative of the artistic professions to which it
relates that it readily enough secures for itself the wide
and widening circulation which we believe it en-
toys. That truly and it is really exceptional as en
almanack, may be at once intimated by our mentioning, as
among the: number of its contents, an extraeadinary re-
cord of the Great Events of the Drama for 2,300 years A
list of the first appearances of celebrated artists i And,
together with these details, a mass of useful information in
reference to the managers and theatres, not only of London,
but besides those in the Provinces, in America, and far
away at the other side of the globe, even in Australia.

ONCE A WEEK.—The forty-fourth monthly
part of this cheap popular illustrated weekly mis-
cellany is mainly remarkable for two serial stories
—Harriet Martineau's Son Christopher, and Adol-
phus Trollop's Beppo the Conscript, the former of
the two abrurdly illustrated by Mr. Millais, that new and
rarely-gifted academician, who is apparently bent upon
industriously frittering away his powers as a book illus-
trator. An extraordinary variety of papers, in prose and
verse, complete in this forty-fourth part, at once the 234th
weekly number and the sixth volume of " Once a Week,"
the aim of which periodical still appears to be the serial
publication of the very lightest contributions to the current
sight literature of the age.

attended by the Countess of Macclesfield and
General Knollys.
Their Royal Highnesses travelled by the ordinary
train from Gosport to Basingstoke, and from Bas-
ingstoke to Windsor, by special train, in the Royal
saloon carriage. A leige number of the most re-
spectuble inhabitants assembled on the platform to
witness the arrival of their Royal Highnesses, who
appeared in excellent health. There was no guard
of honour, and their Royal Highnesses and suite
proceeded through the town to Frogmore Lodge
whilst merry peals were rung on the bells of St.
George and St. John's Churches.
Yesterday the Prince and Princess of Wales at-
tended Divine service at the Cnapel Royal, St.
George, attended by the Countess of Macclesfield,
General Knollys, and several other members of their
Royal Highness's suite. The Prince occupied his
own stall as Knight of the Garter, and the Princess
the adjoining stall. The service, by King, in 13
flat, was intoned by the Rev. Mr, Tapisfield and the
Rev. Seymour Neville, who also read the lessons.
The Hon. and Very Rev, the Dean of Windsor was
present, and the chapel was crowded by a most re-
spectable congregation, many of whom had to stand
during the whole time of the service.

MARKETS—This )ay.

MARK-LANE.

The country markets held on Satuday were firm for
wheat, and pikes had an upward tendetcy. Barley, how-
ever, owing to full average supplies bong on offer, met a
slow sale, at fully the late decline in thccurrency. In oats,
beans, and peas a moderate business ws transacted at late
rates. Flour ruled steady, and the notations were well
supported.
On the continent the corn trade gnerally is quiet at
about stationary pricer. At New York however, the trade
is active, and the export demand contin.es to improve.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English
grain were but moderate. The in:eorts from abroad
amounted to 7,844 quarters of wheat, 14840 barley, 12,018
oats, 1,360 beans, 1,315 tares, 17;276 linseed, 8.824 oil-
s ecls, 60 sundry seeds, 2;519 sacks, aid 2,069 barrels of
floor.
Fresh up to Mark-lane the arrival of English wheat
were only of moderate extent, but the general condition of
the produce was good. Compared with Monday last, there
was much more activity in the trade fcr all qualities, and
an improvement of ls. per quarter took place in the cur-
rency. At he close of business a tolerably good clearance
had been effected.
The show of samples of foreign wheat on the stands was
by no means extensive. Holders of all descriptions were
very firm in their demands, and prices advanced in some
instances ls. per quarter.
Floating cargoes of grain ruled firm and prices had an
upward tendency.
There was a moderately large supTly of home-grown
barley on the stands, and the show of samples of foreign
produce was extensive. Good and fine nalting parcels were
in moderate, request at full prices ; otherwise the trade was
dull, on former terms.
In the malt trade, signs of improvement were apparent,
and prices ruled firm.
The supply of oats was moderate. The trade, on the
whole, ruled steady, and previous quotations were supported.
The market was well supplied with beans. For all descrip-
tions there was a steady demand at last Nlonday's currency.
The inquiry for peas was somewhat Halted, yet no change
took place in their value. The shcw of samples was
moderate.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day,

OLD COURT.

The January sessions commenced this morning. The
calendar contains the names of 66 persons for trial.
The Recorder charged the grand jury, and congratulated
them on the absence of the charge of murder, but he said
there was a charge of manslaughter, and also an indictment
for violence towards a female of the most atrocious descrip-
tion. The charge of manslaughter was against Ellen Keefe,
and the deceased, who was intoxicated, it would appear,
found himself in the company of the prisoner and her hus-
band, and evidently a quarrel took place, when the prisoner
struck him a blow on the head with a pair of tongs, which
resulted in his death. If they should be of opinion that
fatal results followed the blow, no matter what amount of
provocation, it would be their duty to return a true bill.
The other cases required no further remarks from him.
The grand jury then retired to their room, and in a short
time the trial of prisoners commenced.
Jane Edwards, aged about 35, was brought into the dock
supported by two of the female warders of Newgate, charged
with stealing a clock value 30s.
No evidence was offered, and the jury, under the direc-
, Lion of the Recorder, returned a verdict of not guilty.

THE CHARGE OF LIBEL AGAINST THE REV. MR. BIRCH.
Mr. Collins applied for the postponement of the trial until
next session. A certiorari had been obtained for the re-
moval of the indictment into the Court of Queen's Bench,
upon the usual terms of giving security for the costs. Mr.
Birch had been unable to get the necessary security from his
friends. He was that morning instructed by the defendant
in person, in consequence of his attorney having refused to
proceed with the case. The defendant had not sufficient
means to obtain the attendance of witnesses ur to lodge the
certiorari, but he believed he should be in a position to do
so by next session. Mr. Hawkins and Sergeant Ballantine
had been retained to prosecute, and he found a difficulty in
undertaking the defence at such short notice. No injury
would result from the postponement, as there was a third
indictment against the defendant at Lewes which could not
be tried until the next assizes.
Mr. Poland opposed the application ; as the certiorari
bad not been lodge he wished the Court to fix a day for the
trial.
Mr. Collins said the prosecutor had not the witnesses in
attendance, and they could as easily be brought next session
as the present. Mr. Birch was only a chaplain to a union
with £7O a year, and he had not at present the means to get
his witnesses here at the present time.
The Recorder said he did not see any harm would result
from the postponement of the trial, and he should therefore
order it to stand over till the February sessions.
The defendant's bail was accordingly enlarged until tha
period.
