MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DIEING ROBBERY BY A GANG.—Emma Adams, a
stylishly dressed female, was charged before Mr. Knox
with btealing the watch of Mr. Martin Luther Moss, hosier,
of 131, New Bond street.
Mr Pater appeared for the prisoner.
Mr Moss said that the prisoner accosted him opposite
Lang's Hotel, New Bond• street, and asked him to treat her
with a glass of wine. Ho refused to do so, and walked
through several streets to get away from the prisoner,
When he got into Clifford-street the prisoner got in front
of him, and at the same moment three men stepped up
behind him, and two of them pinioned his arms while the
third pulled him back. He observed his watch chain fly-
ing, and after throwing out his arms the men and the pri-
soner ran away, his watch having been taken from him,
He pursued the prisoner and stopped him when a constable
came up. The prisoner then exclaimed, " For God's sake
do not send me to prison. I have four children," at the
seme time passing the watch to him.
In answer to Mr, Pater, the prosecutor said he was quite
sober at the time.

Sergeant Stevens, 24 C, proved seeing the prisoner pass
the prosecutor's watch to him. He took him to the station,
but had great difficulty in doing so.
Mr Knox remanded the prisoner.

THE GAS SUPPLY TO THE CITY.

Dr LETREBY further reported that the illuminating
power of the gas cupplied to the City during the week had
been above the requirements of the act of Parliament, for
the average power of the City Company's gas had been
15,07 sperm cakiles ; of the Chartered, 14,633 and of the

[ADVERTISEMENT.I—HoIIoway's Ointment—Sounaness
Renewed—Any indolent ulcer or chronic sore should imme-
diate;y have this excellent unguent applied to it in the
manner pointed out in its accompanying directions. For
thoroughly elSansiug a diseased or broken skin, and for
rousing its poisoned vessels or depressed nerves to healthy
action, nothing can surpass Holloway's well-known Oint-
ment. It strikingly shows the power when applied to the
" cld man's ulcer," which settles on the leg and often be-
comes most intractable under the ordinary treatment,
though no case has yet withstood this cooling and healing
salve. The troublesome swellings preparatory to most
ulcerations of the legs are likewise reduced by the diligent
applications of Holloway's unguent, by giving strength to
the weakened circulation through the capillaries.

TEETH.—Mr. ESKELL'S INVENTION in
the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following advantages :—A set or teeth, of excellent work-
mane.hip and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the
most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without
pP,in or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and ad.apt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the month without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-

BRISTOL—TUESDAY.
The attendance of buyers to-day was very fair, and a
moderate business was done in English and foreign wheat

barley more inquired for, and a trifle dearer. Oats held for
6d per qr more money. Peas and beans 6d to is dearer,

LIVERPOOL—TUESDAY.
There was a fair attendance both of town and coulsl

was done, chiefly on speculation, based on the prova fed
of the Conference being a failure. Wheat may be qtw—er

on the week. Oats and oatmeal nominally

SANATORY CONDITION OP THE CITY.

------- _ _
Dr LETHEBY reported on the state of 278 houses that had
been inspected durink the week, and he submitted a list of
138 places for sanatory improvements. He reported also on
the condition of nine roams at 5, Bride-court, Bride-lane,
Fleet-street, where 27 males and 67 females were employed
in bookbinding. The total cubic space allotted to each per-
son was only 204 feet, and in the females workrooms the
space was only 122 cubic feet per head ; one of the rooms
was so small as to give but 96 cubic feet per head.
Dr LETHEBY reported that this over-crowding was in-
compatible with healthy respiration, and advised that mea-
sures should be taken at once to abate it. He referred also
to the insufficient closet accommodation, and to the inde-
cency of having but one small closet for so many persons of
both sexes.

In the course of the week two persons have been sum.
moned before the justices for neglecting to carry out the
sanatory improvements required by the Court, and in both
instances the parties were fined and charged with the cost
of the proceedings, the fine in ono instance being £7.
The markets and slaughter houses have been duly in-
spected, and the officers have condemned 2,0811 b of meat as
unfit for human food. _ _ _

The mortality returns for the week are a little above the
average for the season. Sixty deaths were registered for
the week, and of these 17 were amongst children of less than
five years of age, and 14 amongst old persons. The chief
causes of death were as follows
7, mesenteric
disease 4, hydrocephalus 3, pneumonia 2, bronchitis 6, con-
tinued fever 3, scarlet fever 1, small pox 1, whooping cough
1, measles 3, and infantile diarrhoea 2—making together 14
deaths from tubercular diseases, 8 from inflammatory
affections of the lungs, and 9 from diseases of a zymotic
character.

THE OAS SUPPLY TO THE CITY,
Dr LETHEBY further reported that the illuminating
power of the gas supplied to the City during the week had
been above the requirements of the act of Parliament, for
the average power of the City Company's gas had been
15,07 sperm candles; of the Chartered, 14,63; and of the
Great Central, 14.54.

After transacting some other business the commissioners

adjourned,

THE ARMY.

The expenditure upon the new cavalry barracks
at Co!cheater to the close of 1863 was £58,645. A

ber of men to be called out is 128.969, at an expense of

ON CHLORATE OF POTASSA AND ITS USE IN OXYDISING

THE BLOOD.
DR. S. P. SARGEANT, M.R.C.S., and L.S.A.
0836,, will shortly repeat his Lecture on this subject
at St. James's Hall, Piccadilly, and will satisfactorily prove
that Chlorate of Potassa, (as prepared by passing chlorine
through a mixture of quick-lime and water, and subsequently
boiling a long time with Chloride of Potassium) is a most
active remedy for oxydising the blood, and restoring vitality
to the low, vitiated state of the nervous system, and is there-
fore calculated to supersede the use of iron, mercury, quinine,
and earsararilla. —56, Gower-street, Bedford-square, London.

The Proposed Conference on the Dano.

German Question.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAM.)
BERLIN, FEB. 24.

It is stated in diplomatic circles that the Conference
for the settlement of the Dano-German question
was proposed by England, with the concurrence of
France, and that the proposal was supported by
Russia.

Prussia and Austria, as already stated, have
accepted the Conference, to which a representa-
tive of the G3rmanic Diet will be invited.
The same Powers have refused, however, to
grant an armistice, and hostilities will not be dis-
continued during the Conference.

they will be enabled to name some definite time within
which the undertaking will be completed.

NEWRY AND ARMAGH.

The report of the directors states that the gross traffic
for the half-year ending Dec. 31 on the lino from Newry to
Gorah-wood amounted to £2,230, and the working expenses
to £1,418, leaving a surplus of £Bl2, The works on the
railway from Gorah• wood to Armagh were rapidly ap-
proaching completion, and the line would, it was expected,
be opened for traffic about the Ist of April. Negotiations
had been opened with the Ulster Railway Company for the
use of their station at Armagh, and it was hoped the requi-
site accommodation would bo afforded on equitable terms
The old capital account showed on expenditure of £140,731,
and extension capital account an expenditure of £313,429.

VALE OF NEATH.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Friday at the Great Western Hotel, Paddington ; Mr.
Vaughan in the chair.

The report was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report.
said he considered they had seen the worst, and that their
property would go on increasing in value. The purchase of
the Neath and Swansea Railway, and the laying down of
the narrow gauge in addition to the broad gauge an their
line would be of great advantage to them. The Neath and
Swansea Railway enabled them to run their trains from the
pits to the shipping places without delay or interruption.
The good gradients on it enabled them to work with eco-
nomy, so that the increase of 20 per cent. in the traffic as
compared with the corresponding, period was worked at com-
paratively small additional cost. If the traffic continued to
increase they would require additional capital to provide ad-
ditional plant and accommodation for it. When the Great
Western Company completed the short junction with their
narrow gmago line the Vale of Neath Company would be

MAzztlit has published an elaborate statement of
the Austrian army, in order to show that although
numbering nearly 600,000 men, no more than 500,000 are
effective troops, including in their incorporation a number
of Hungarians, Galicians, Bohomians, and Roumanians,
whose loyalty cannot bo depended on. That for a war in
Italy tho utmost force that Austria could put forth would
not exceed 170,000 men, to which the Italians could oppose
270,000, besides 30,000 volunteers, at least, under Garibaldi.

CENTRAL NORTHUMBERLAND.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Saturday at Morpeth, Sir J. Swinturne in the chair.
The report stated that since the last half-yearly meeting
the line had been staked out, and negotiations for the pur-
chase of land and settlement of tenants' claims had pro •

greased. Terms had been arranged with the owners of land
from the southern terminus of the line to Rothbury, and
likewise for several miles at the northern end. The direc-
tors regretted that the capital had not been subscribed to
the extent required, in order that the contractors might
simultaneously commence operations on the railway, and
that in the event of the deficiency not being Supplied the
part of the line between Scot's Gap and Rothbury could only
be proceeded with at present.
Mr. R. HODGSON moved the adoption of the report, which
was seconded by Mr. BOLA[, and carried.
Bart Grey, Sir H. St. Paul, and Mr. H. Hodgson were
appointed to wait upon the contractors and consult with
them as to the commencement of the works.

There was about an average supply of beasts on sale here

the breeds moved off slowly, at Monday's currency. The
best Scots sold at ss, in some instances, at 5s 2d per Sibs.
We were fairly supplied with sheep, and the inquiry for
them was inactive, on former terms. The best Downs in
the wool realised 6s; out of the wool, 5s per Sibs. The few
lambs on offer changed hands at 7s per Slbs. No change
took place in the value of calves, and the veal trade was
somewhat heavy. Prices ranged from 4s 2d to 5s 2d per
