Beach, Bart., has returned from the continent, and
the requisition to him to become a candidate for the
Eastern Division, in the place of the late Sir W.
Codrington,having been presented he has consented,
and has issued a brief address. Sir Michael says
he is a Conservative, yet, while he is desirous of
maintaining the institutions of the country, he will
give full consideration to any proposal for their
improvement. With respect to continental affairs,
he deeply sympathises with the Danes in their gale
lant resistance to German aggression, but would not
advocate, under present circumstances, armed inter-
vention on the part of Great Britain. The Sheriff
has fixed the election to take place at the Shirehall
on Tuesday morning next, at half-past ten.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

WESTMINSTErt.

ORCHARD THIEVES.—George Hayward, aged 16, and
Frederick Dahoney, aged 13, were charged before 11r, Selfe
with stealing apples from the Botanie Gardens, Chelsea.
Mr Butler, gardener at the establishment, said that on
the previous afternoon he saw the prisoners get over the
4arden wall, and before he could get to them he saw one of
them shake an apple tree, from which several apples fell.
The prisoners took them up, and was about to go away
with them, when he stopped them.
Mr. Selfe—How many apples wera there ?

Witness—There were 22 apples. It is not merely steal-
ing the apples, but the damage which is done to the trees.
Mr. Selfe—The prisoners were here a few days ago, I
think, for stealing apples.

Witness—They were, sir, and were ordered to be sent to
prison.

Mr. Dennis, the gaoler, stated that they were only sent
for three days, and in consequence, were not taken down

in the van.

The mother of Dahoney stated that since he was con-
victed he had not been home, He was a very bad boy and
the worst of the family. She would like him to be sent to
some Reformatory.
Mr Selfe observed that as Hayward had been at that
Court before he should send him to prison for two months.
ae would not send Dahoney tofprison, but at once send
him to a Reformatory for three years.

Hayward—Can you not send me to a Reformatory, sir?
Mr Selfe—No, kou are too old.
The prisoners were then removed by the gaoler; Hay-
ward to prison and Dahoney to a Reformatory.

LITERATURE,

New Novels.

John Law, the Projector. By W. Harrison
Ainsworth. 3 vols. Chapman and Hall.

The romance of history always possesses peculiar
charms for Harrison Ainsworth, the most romantic
and enthralling of modern novelists. In the other
qualifications of the art he may yield the palm to
one or other of his gifted cotifreres, but in the
power of captivating the attention, and stimulating
the interest of his readers, he is, perhaps, un-
rivalled, as the readers of " Rookwood," and " Jack
Sheppard," and " Crichton" may bear witness.
To enhance the fascination of his imaginative
stories, Ainsworth, as we have said, is always
anxious to invest them with an air of history. The
very titles of his principal romances—too wells
known to require any recapitulation here—will at
once corroborate our remark. Another incident
from the record of that truth which is stranger than
fiction, and one as yet untouched by the pen of
novelist, has suggested the subject of Mr Ainsworth's
new work. The celebrated John Law, the Projector,
is his hero, and—
" All that in past times our forefathers had told
Of the gorgeous Mississippi and the southern seas of gold"—
forms the theme of his romance. The prologue
to the tale, which introduces Sohn Law of
Lauriston to the fashionable world of London,
savours, perhaps, rather too much of melodra-
matic romance. The tragic episode which terminates
the existence of the aged and hobbling Othello,
Beau Wilson, while it threatens the life of his
innocent but suspected sponse, the fair Belinda, is
most improbable and most theatrical. When the
real story begins in earnest, and Law is in
the midst of his financial projects and counter-
projects in Paris, his career is described with Ains-
worth's customary skill. 'With increasing wonder
and interest we follow the development of the
grand " System" till the unknown and insignificant
Scottish private gentleman has become Finance
Minister of France, and the hero of popular enthu-
siasm. Here is a vivid glimpse of the Rue Quin.
campoix, where was situated Law's Bank, when
the phrenzy of share-buying was at its highest :

At Bathurst the wars among the na'ives, together with

HEALTH OF THE POPE,

According to one Telegram, we read—" In spite
of the din:a:mu of the Munitevr the Pope is
believed to be very ill."
According to another, under date "Rome, Wed-
nesday (via 'Marseilles). The Pope has left his
apartments, and is expected to attend the procession
at the fete of Corpus Christi,"
So that, in point of feet, the health of his Holiness
the Pope is so alarming that it is fully expee'ed by
the latest eccounts from Rome that he will assist on
Thursday next at the grand celebrations on the
feast of Corpus Christi ! In proof at any rte of the
exceeding accuracy of the reports of his serious re-
lapse, it is certain that he has recently (pitted his
apartments !

THANIES.

A THIEF CAPTURED BY A PAIVNBROICER.—Henry
Larking, aged 30, was charged with being in the unlawful
possession.of a silver watch, which had been stolen or un-
lawfully procured.

Mr. W. Carpenter, foreman to the business of his uncle
of the same name, No. 68, Cannon-street-road, St. George-
in-the-East, said the prisoner offered him a silver watch
in pawn, and asked for a loan of 503 upon it. He asked
the prisoner if it was his own watch, to which he replied in
the affirmative. He asked him the maker's name and
number on the watch, and the prisoner said he did not
know, and bought the watch of a man in a publichouse for £2
lOs on Mond Ay last, but he did not know the man or the sign
of the public house. He then detained the prisoner and
gave him into custody. The watch was a silver lever, the
maker Spilgelhutton, Whitechapel-road, and it was worth
five guineas.
_ _

William Jenkins, a police-constable, No. 346 K, said the
watch was sold by Mr Spilgelhutton 18 months ago to a
customer, named James Scott, of No. 4, Carter-street,
Evan's-street, Pop ar, If the prisoner was remanded, he
hoped to find the owner.

The Magistrate said the conduct of the pawnbroker, Mr
Carpenter, was highly creditable, and as the prisoner would
not give any satisfactory account of himself or the watch
he should remand him for a week,
DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—James Jacobs, a well-
known young ruffian and thief, was charged with stealing
a purse containing £1 Gs. 9d. from the person of Johnson
Gustav Johnson, a Danish seaman.

The prosecutor i 3 lodging at No. 30, High-street, Shad-
well. He was passing along Rateliff Highway on Satur-
day evening, when the prisoner and two •other boys sur-
rounded him. One of them pointed to some dirt or mud
on his left shoulder, and ho turned his head asido to look at

it, when another shoved against him, and the prisoner put
him hand in the sailor's right hand trousers pocket and took
from it a purse containing £1 G. 9J., and all the sailor's
papers. Johnson immeiiateiy seized the prisoner, who
threw the purse away. The eailor left the prisoner and
recovered his purse and money. The prisoner ran away.
was pursued, and after a long chase was stopped by police-
constable 185 K, who said the young thieves in the district
had got up a new dodge. They stopped sailors, called
attention to something on the shoulder of the person
stopped, and when his head was turned dived into his pocket
and took out anything it contained.
The prisoner reads no defence, and as the Dane was
about to sail with his ship, the prisoner was summarily
disposed of, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment
and bard labour,

LONDON, ..lONDAY, MAY 23, 1864.

The fearful slaughter again going on out at the
seat of war in North. Americais calculated, we should
imagine, to put even the most infatuated sticklers
for the univtrsal application of the Non-Interven-
tion principle, or policy, slightly out of conceit
with their exceedingly sake, but sometimes also (we
can quite imagine the contingency) exceedingly
paean panacce. Forty thousand Federate—accord-
ing to their own account—put hors-de-
combat, that is, 40,000 killed and wounded
by reason of the last hideous few hears
fighting ! Forty '..housand Federals. The Federals
being the assailants. But how many Confederates
have been maimed and killed we have yet to learn.
Probably a correspondingly frightful
aggregate of
brave men destroyed and annihilated. So that is
two or three days the chief part of a round 100,000
American citizens have been swept off either sud-
denly to the grave or agonized to the military
lespitals and ambulances. And here again without
anything at all decisive as a grim compensation for
this wasteful destruction of human life. The Peck-
