UNHAPPY CONDITION OF PARENTS.—A respectable•
looking man, who appeared overwhelmed with care, be.
sought the magistrate's assistance under the following dis•
tressing circumstances:—

Applicant said that his child, a girl of very tender years,
had absconded from her home in the country a few days
ago. Her absence caused very much anxiety, and he came
to London in search of her. After diligent inquiry he found
her last night, and he said she had probably been saved
from ruin by the kind interference of the police, who had
found her in very bad company.
Mr. Howard, an inspector of the B Division, said that a
few days ago he saw the child in question. He met her at
three in the morning in Grosvenor-row, Pimlico, in com-
pany with a prostitute, when, observing that she appeared
strange and timid, he considered it his duty to make some
inquiries about her, and accordingly had tier taken to the
station, where he found that she had come from Sheerness.
He took her to the workhouse so that she might be pro-
tected from harm.

Mr. Selfe (to the father)—What do you want me to do
for the child ?

The father—l want you to rescue her from ruin by
putting her into a reformatory.
Mr. Selfe—What is her age P
The father—She will be thirteen in August.

Mr. Selfe—lf a child refuses to obey her parents, a magis-
trate may send her to an industrial school, but she must be
under 12 years of age.
The father—She has formed some bad acquaintances at
Sheerness, and I have no control over her.
Mr. Selfe—There is, under the Act of Parliament, a
power vested in magistrates to send a child under fourteen
to an industrial school if the parents will pay fo; their main-
tenance. Will you do so?
The father—Unfortunately, I cannot. I have a wife and
four other children, and my pay is only is 5d per day.
Mr. Selfe—l have no power to help you unless she is
brought here and charged. I cannot go beyond the law.
She must be charged with felony, with begging, with wan-
dering abroad having no home, or, in the alternative, the
parents must maintain them. I am very sorry for you,
but that is all I can say.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

LREUTER'S TELEGRAMS.]

RUMOURED EVACUATION OF SLESWIG.
HAMBURG, FEE. 6, 11.30. A.M.
No news from the theatre of war has been re.
ceived here for the last three days.
It is stated that the Prussians have formed a cor-
don it Sleswig, and allow no war intelligence to
pass.

Severe fighting is supposed to be going on, as
numbers of wounded are constantly brought into
Rendsburg.

HAMBURG, Feb. 6, 12.20 P,M.

It is stated here that the town of Steswig
has been evacuated by the Danes, and that Mis-
sunde has been taken.
The statement meets with some credit.

HAMBURG, FEB. 6, 2 P.M,
The news of the evacuation of Sleswig appears
to be confirmed.

The allies are now said to have entered the city
at 5.30 this morning.

Nothing has been heard from Missunde,
A telegram received here from Kiel dated yes-
terday evening, says :

"The hilly ground in front of the Missunde line
has been taken by the Prussians.
"The Austrians have advanced to Johrdorf."
HAMBURG, FEB. 4.

Advices received here from Kiel this morning by
the BUrsenhalle, state that the object of the engage-
ment at Missunde on Tuesday (the 2d) was a
reconnaissance to discover the strength of the
Danes, and what likelihood there was of their
resistance.

The Prussians were prevented by the fog from
seeing the lower Danish entrenchments. The
Danes on the other hand were quite able to observe
the masses of Prussian troops.

The Prussians thus came too near the heavy
artillery of the enemy. Two Danish sorties were
repulsed.

The loss of the Danes is not known, but they
left a few prisoners in the hands of the Germans
The Prussians ;os,t five cfficers killed and 15 to
20 wounded, with 20 to 3U men killed. The total
loss in killed and wounded was from 120 to 130

COURT OF ERROR.
THE ALEXANDRA CASE.
THE QUEEN V. SILLEM AND OTHERS.

This important case, which has recently been fully argued
an& determined in the Court of Exchequer, and fully re-
ported in The Sun, came before the Court this morning on
appeal from the judgment of that Court, which, it will be
recollected, was divided in opinion, but in order to give an
opportunity of moving for an appeal Baron Piggott with-
drew his judgment.
On the case being called on, Sir Hugh Cairns objected to
the power of the Court of Exchequer to allow an appeal,
and insisted that there was no appeal from that Court in
matters in which the revenue side of the Court was con-
cerned, and argued that the Legislature never contemplated
there should be an appeal in error.
The Attorney-General, at great length, insisted upon the
right of the Crown to appeal.
Sir H. Cairns, in his reply, persisted in his objection, and
said that his learned friend, in the course of his argument,
had only strengthened him in his opinion that nothing
could be said against the proceedings to which he had de-
murred.

At the conclusion-e:-the arguments,
The Lord Chief Justice said the Court would give its
judgment on Monday.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A GRoss IMPOSTOR.—Andrew M`Lean, well known to
the Mendicity Society officers, having been several times
convicted of felony and begging, was charged before Mr.
Knox with endeavouring to obtain charitable contributions
by false and fraudulent pretences from Viscount Temple-
town, residing at No. 27, George-street, Hanover-square.
It appears the prisoner went to his lordship's house and
gave a letter to the butler, purporting to come from the
Rev. Mr. Soames, of the vicarage, Greenwich, stating that
Mrs. Wilson (to whom an enclosed memorial related) was
known to him. His lordship sent the memorial back to the
prisoner, but retained the letter, intending, if on inquiry he
found the statements contained in the memorial to be true,
to assist the person. The letter was then taken to the Men-
dioity Society, and a description given of the prisoner, and
yesterday Horsford and Fryer took the prisoner into cus-
tody at Westminster, charging him with having obtained a
sovereign from a gentleman at Camberwell, and endeavour•
ing to obtain some money from Viscount Templetown. On
the way to the station the prisoner said he supposed he
should have another three months.

In answer to Mr. Knox, Horsford said he was certain
the letter was not written by Mr. Soames.
Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner at the request of Hors-
ford, at the same time stating that Mr. Soames could then
be in attendance.
The prisoner was then remanded.

THAMES.

A VERY BAD CASE.—John Warner, a crimp, who has
lost his left hand, and is one of the most disorderly fellows
that over troubled the police, was charged with being drunk
and disorderly, and attempting to stab two police-constables.
Macdonald, 102 11, said the prisoner was making a dis-
turbance in Duck-street, Whitechapel, last night, at a
quarter before 12 o'clock, There were a number of boys
and others about him. They were laughing and shouting.
He requested the prisoner to leave the street and go home,
and warned him if ho did not do so he would have to go to
the station-house. The prisoner said he would not go
away, and suddenly took a knife from his right sleeve,
uttered dreadful oaths and imprecations, and attempted to
stab him. He jumped on one side, and narrowly missed
the knife, He then got behind the prisoner, and. with the
assistance of another constable pulled the prisoner down
and took him into custody. The prisoner repeatedly kicked
at him, and was exceedingly violent.
James Stroud, 147 H, confirmed the last witness, and
said that Macdonald very narrowly escaped being stabbed.
The prisoner had been often in custody, and was one of the
most disorderly characters in the district.

The prisoner—l was drunk last night, I dont recollect
what happened.
Mr. Paget said this was a very bad case indeed, and the
prisoner might think himself fortunate he had not murdered
the police-constable. If the prisoner had carried his deadly
intentions into effect he would have had to answer a
charge affecting his life, lie (Mr. Paget) did not intend to
dispose of this case summarily. The prisoner had been
punished for a similar outrage before, and was a very dan-
gerous character. lie committed the prisoner for trial.

Fire at the South Down Powder Works.

PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY, 10.30 A.M.

This morning, about 8 o'clock, a fire, accompanied by
a very slight explosion, took place at the Blasting Powder
Works, near Millbrook, Hamoaze.

Signal was immediately made from the flag-•ship Adelaide,
and her boat and fire-engines, with those of the Canopus,
Cambridge, St. George, Indus, &c., in charge of about 500
men proceeded to South Down, removed most of the stores
to a place of safety, and suppressed the fire. It originated
in the packing room, which, with the drying room and
their contents (many tons of blasting powder), are de-
stroyed.

One of the workmen, named Macdonald, is injured, and
Lane, an able seamen belonging to the Canopus, had his
arm burnt, in consequence of a spark falling on two trays
of powder which he was endeavouring to save.

Dr. Guthrie's Anecdotes.

The Rev. Dr. Guthrie's " Anecdotes and Stories"
have been published in a little volume of 216 pages
by the Messrs. Houlston and Wright. The copy
before us has inscribed upon the title-page Second
Thousand. As the production, as containing within
it some of the very choicest productions, of a
Genuine Original, one would rather have expected
to see it announced as the twenty-second thousand.
Although we are about the farthest removed
that can well be imagined from coming under the
mere title of one among the disciples of Dr. Guthrie
of Edinburgh, we cannot help admiring in him the
good heart of a good man, of a very remarkable
man indeed—a hard-working philanthropist—a
rugged yet poetical inculcator of morality, endowed
with a rare gift of homely eloquence, with
nerves thrilling, and veins throbbing, and h
heart beating with the tenderest sensibilities.
Even where the opinions to which he gives utter-
ance are just diametrically opposed to our own, we
can't for the life of us help regarding Dr. Guthrie
with a respectful and almost affectionate admira-
tion. And this simply because in him we needs
must recognise a man thoroughly in earnest, one
perpetually burning to do good to his fellow-
creatures according to the dictates of his conscience.

etowndeckto, sNoasassautc:
for which place she was bound. Not being aware of Ad-
miral Fitzroy'
B storm signal, Captain Chapman put to sea
on Saturday last about 1 o'clock, and soon after the vessel
encountered a severe gale from the south- west, with a heavy
head sea. After facing the storm to a distance of about
170 miles, the captain made for Lundy Island, in the Bristol
Channel, in the hope of getting into Milford-haven. On.
getting to the leeward of the island it was found that the
water had increased so rapidly that the fires were put out
and the engines brought to a stand. Every exertion was
made by the captain and crew to save the vessel ; all
worked harmoniously together, but, unfortunately, without
effect. The firemen even stood up to their middle in the
water throwing coals into the furnaces so long as the fires
burned, but the pumps soon became choked, and the fires
were then put out. The Bristol pilot boat No. 32, Captain
Alfred Ray, bore down to the steamer and lay by her until
the whole of the crew, 39 in number, were safely conveyed
on board in the boats of the lona. The water was up to the
cabin table the last time the captain went down, and half an
hour after the crew left her the steamer sank. The captain

of a little schooner offered to stand by the steamer, buttthe

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The Legislative Assembly of the Danubian
Provinces has just passed a vote which pro-
duces a fresh compication in the relations
between the Executive and the Legislature
Powers. Oa the occasion of a bill for the re-orga.
nisation of the gendarmery, the Assembly decreed
by a simple amendment the institution of a National
Guard, the command and disposal of which it con-
ferred on itself as a counterpoise to the too absolute
devotedness of the regular army to the chief of
the State. This is considered a flagrant outrage
on the essential principle of the separation of
powers, and a manifest encroachment on the consti-
tutional authority of the Prince.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER—FnmY.

There was only a thin attendance at the Subscription
Rooms this day, and speculation was limited. There were
several inquiries about Claremont for the Two Thousand
Guineas, but less than 11 to 1 against him was refused.
For the Derby Cambuscan and Blair Athol were the only
horses backed, but the investments made on them were
merely trivial.
For the Waterloo (Coursing) Cup there was a strong
commission in the market for Mr. Lloyd's nomination ; and
after 20 to 1 had been taken freely, 16 to 1 became the
highest offer. Closing prices :

HAMBURG, FEB. 6, 2 P.M.
The news of the evacuation of Sleswig appears
:o be confirmed.

The allies are now said to have entered the city
at 5.30 this morning.

Nothing has been heard from Missunde.
A telegram received here from Kiel dated yes
:erday evening, says :

"The hilly ground in front of the Missunde line
has been taken by the Prussians.

"The Austrians have advanced to Johrdorf."
HAMBURG, FEE. 4.

Advices received here from Kiel this morning by
the 136rsenhalle, state that the object of the engage-
ment at Missunde on Tuesday (the 2d) was a
reconnaissance to discover the strength of the
Danes, and what likelihood there was of their

resistance.
The Prussians were prevented by the fog from
seeing the lower Danish entrenchments. The
Danes on the other hand were quite able to observe
the masses of Prussian troops.
The Prussians thus came too near the heavy
artillery of the enemy. Two Danish sorties were
repulsed.
The loss of the Danes is not known, but they
left a few prisoners in the hands of the Germans
The Prussians lost five officers killed and 15 to
20 wounded, with 20 to 30 men killed. The total
loss in killed and wounded was from 120 to 130

men.

in g the Clyde the lona was greatly strengthened and
the elegant saloon cabin removed from the deck, so as to
make her fit for the passage from Queenstown to Nassau,
for which place she was bound. Not being aware of Ad-
miral Fitzroy's storm signal, Captain Chapman put to sea
on Saturday last about 1 o'clock, and soon after the vessel
encountered a severe gale from the south-west, with a heavy
head sea. After facing the storm to a distance of about
170 miles, the captain made for Lundy Island, in the Bristol
Channel, in the hope of getting into Milford-haven. On
getting to the leeward of the island it was found that the
water had increased so rapidly that the fires were put out
and the engines brought to a stand. Every exertion was
made by the captain and crew to save the vessel ; all
worked harmoniously together, but, unfortunately, without
effect. The firemen even stood up to their middle in the
water throwing coals into the furnaces so long as the fires
burned, but the pumps soon became choked, and
the fires
were then put out. The Bristol pilot boat No. 32, Captatiinl
Alfred Ray, bore down to the steamer and lay by her uened
the whole of the crow, 39 in number, were safely cuontvoythe
on board in the boats of the lona, The water was

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The Legislative Assembly of the Dann bias;
Provinces has just passed a vote which pros
duces a fresh compication in the relations
between the Executive and the Legislature
Powers. On the occasion of a bill for the re-orga.
nisation of the gendarmery, the Assembly decreed
by a simple amendment the institution of a National
Guard, the command and disposal of which it con.
ferred on itself as a counterpoise to the too abst lute
devotedness of the regular army to the chief of
the State. This is considered a flagrant outrage
on the essential principle of the separation of
powers, and a manifest encroachment on the emrsti-
tutional authority of the Prince.
