RIVAL PHILOSOPHERS.

"Mr. Smith," and Larry Stead took his pipe out of his
mouth, "it's laid upon my mind over sin' I came to the
Duke's yard, as it were a shame such like things was ever
let to goon, alai him such a master, and givin' good wage
reglar from year end to year end. Accordin' to my line o'
thinkin', you might as well put your hand into a master's
pocket and fetch up half- a-crown`out on it, as be allars spy-
ing round to see how you can kuock off ten minutes here
and ten minutes there, and a bit more somewhere else, and
then take your wage a brazen-faced as if you'd done nought
but what was honest."

" Well," said Destiny, " I don't see:as a man need harass
hisself wi' little things like them there ; mint an' anise an'
cummin, as the Scripters says. I've allers broke off work a
good five minutes afore t' bell rung this ten year past, an'
it never laid uncomfortable upon my conscience, it didn't ;
an' I could say the psalms and do the responses just as if 1
was the best man i' the parish. Bless us I I'd as soon
wear a pair o' boots lined wi' thistlepricks as have a con-
science like yours, Larry, as is allers catchin' you up if you
don't behave yourself like one of them painted saints i' the
church windy."

"My conscience never did me a bad turn yet, Mr. Smith,
since God Almighty fettled it up for m 9 and set it aping
proper. But what I say is this ; a man had ought to bring
his religion, if he's got any, into the regular doins of his
life, and not to be alters scrapin' and contrivin' how he can
make a bit o' planiu' or hammerin' last longest. I should
shame to take my wage if I'd addled it in that way,"
" Well, Larry, I lots folks do as they've a mind to, but
I will say this, that there isn't a man i' the Duke's yard
does a better day's work, or a longer, than yourself.
reckon it's the ranters toachecl you ; they're alters shifting
religion into t' week days. as it it warn't enough to do your
praying of a Sunday, and then put it by. Laws I if yuu
had to say three big pages o' psalms after t' clergyman
twice a day, let alone givin' out hymns to the praise an'
glory, and tewin' wi' them responses, as the clerk has to do
'em all i' this parish, cause the quality folk wont's lash
themselves so much as whisper 'em, and the Sunday school
children would make such a hash of 'em as never was, it I
didn't shout up• well and give a lead, I say, Larry, if you'd
all that to do of a Sunday, you'd none be so keen of shift in'
over your religion into t' week days, and makin' it do double
work in a manner."

" Whatever I had to do of a Sunday, Mr. Smith, prayers
or no prayers, I should think was a poor sort o' religion as
didn't run over into the week, and put a shine and beauty
into everything as you'd gotten to do. I know many's the
time I should clean break down if I hadn't a blessed sense
of God's presence when I'm agate i' the Duke's yard,
Sometimes I's° ready to set on and murmur because I can't
get more time for readin' and meditatin' ; it goes sort o' .
hard agen a man when he's been working ever hours while-
maybe ten at Light to idle a bit extra for winter, and has

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY A FOREIGNER, —Louis
Napoleon Le Gras, a French engineer, living in Black
Horse-yard, Rathbone-place, was charged iefore Mr. Tyr-
whitt with violently assaulting Edward Walters, a lock-
smith and bellhanger, living in the same yard.
The complainant, whose head was enveloped in a sur-
gical bandage, said that the defendant having kept his
(complainant's) son, a boy, 10 years of age, from school all
day yesterday turning a wheel for him, he went yesterday
evening to ask him why he had done so. The defendant
slammed his workshop door in his face, and in doing so the
shutter of the door fell first upon him (complainant), and
then upon a dog, which set to howling. The defendant
then struck him with a hammer, first on the hand, and then
on the head. From the blow on the head he became insen-
sible, but after a time recovered himself and went to the
hospital, where the surgeon found that besides having re-
ceived a severe wound on the head, the knuckles of his
hand were dislocated.

Richard Bartlett, a boy, living at No. 6, Black Horse-
yard, said he was in the. defendant's workshop turning a
wheel with the complainant's lit,le boy. The complainant
came in, and said " Why do you encourage my boy here
and keep him from school." The defendant made use of
some bad language and slammed the door in the com-
plainant's face, and then the shutter fell and the dog made
a noise. The defendant then struck the complainant on
the head with a hammer.

The complainant wished to state that the defendant had
had two years' imprisonment for manslaughter and one
year for bigamy.
The defendant said the complainant called him a " -
foreigner," and asked him why he kept his boy from going
to school. Some words then took place, and the complain-
ant pushed him, upon which he took up a hammer to de-
fend himself.

Mr Tyrwhitt said it was a most brutal act. The father
vas quite right in going after his boy and inquiring why he
was kept from from school. The defendant might have
killed the complainant.
The complainant stated that the surgeon said if the
wound had extended half an inch further he would have
lost his life.

Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the defendant for a week, but
offered to take two bail in £2O each.
BIRD NESTING IN KENSINGTON GARDENS AND DAMAG-
ING THE SHRIJES.—A boy named Thomas Styles was
charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with damaging the shrubs in
Kensington Gardens.

Thomas Putt, one of the park constables, deposed that
yesterday afternoon he saw the boy in the plantation near
the Serpentine, with a blackbird's nest in his hand. On
examining the plantation ho found that a number of choice
shrubs and rhododendrons, just coming into bloom, had
been damaged and trampled down. He then took the boy
into custody.

The boy said he was a native of Warwickshire, and was
taken to the place by another boy, and did not know that it
was wrong.

Putt said it was an every day occurrence, ma many of
the most valuable plants had been destroyed.
Mr Tyrwhitt observed that the shrubs were planted at
great expense, and must be protected. He should fine the
boy ss, or 14 days.

ST, JAMES'S THEATRE,

-•-
A farce, I, whi
--e— greatly reminded us of poor Strickland's
Pcrierulauce in "Tula ',Teddy's Secret," was produced here
last night, entitled, "Out of Sight Out of Mind," Charles
Mathews sustaining the principal part. The hero, one Mr.
Gatherwool, is afflicted with defective memory, but to call
to mind various engagements he
adopts the plan of tying
knots in his handkerchief and other expedients, but all to
no avail. lie invites friends to dinner, and gives good-
natured but also his treacherous
memory defeats him,
mt,oanevdelraynbdogdyhint in all sorts of trouble.
It afforded scope for Mr. Charles Mathews to delight the
fashionable audience nightly attracted to the St. James's
Theatre for about 40 minutes, so it must be pronounced a
success, especially as the laughter is incessant from the ris-
ing to the descent of the curtain.

A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at Cam-
bridge House. The Ministers present were—Viscount
Palmerston, Earl Granville, the Duke of Argyll, Sir George
Grey, Earl Russell, the Right Hon. Edward Cardwell, Earl

chequer, the Duke of Somerset, the Right Hon. T. Milner

THE ARMY.

The Adjutant-General Sir James Yorke Scarlett has pro-
mulgated the following order :—His Royal Highness the
Field Marshal Commanding-in-Chief is pleased to express
his approbation of the intrepid and gallant conduct exhi-
bited on the occasion of the explosion of the magazine at
Birmingham by Lieut Philp, Cornet Sanderson, Sergeant
Masturson, Privates Regan, Jones, Neilson, and Pentland,
of the 2d Dragoons, to whom, as well as to all others who
rendered their assistance, the highest praise is due for the
cool and daring courage they displayed.
The Adjutant-General Sir James Yorke Scarlett has ad-
dressed a circular memorandum to officers commanding
depot battalions, containing a copy of a letter from the
War-office, and addressed to the Military Secretary at the
Horse Guards, stating the conditions under which officers
belonging to regiments in India will be allowed to volun-
teer for service in the Commissariat Department, The
latter states that their application can only be enter-
tained in case their stay at the depots in England will be
likely to afford time, without delay or inconvenience to the
ordinary regimental relief, for the examination and six
months' probation to take place, if there should be vacancies
in the Commissariat Department, The Secretary of State
for War requests that, in forwarding each application, it
may be stated for what period the officer may expect to re.
Main at home.

The spring inspections of the infantry regiments sta-
tioned in Portsmouth garrison commenced yesterday with
the inspection by i\lajor•Gen Lord W. Paulet, C. 8., of the
2d battalion of the Ist Royals.
The disembarkation of the invalided soldiers, with the
women and children, who arrived at Spithead on Saturday
in the ships Alutnbagh and Queen of tha South, was effected
yesterday morning at Spithead by the aid of two Govern-
ment steam tugs, as early as 5 20 a.m., under the personal
superintendence of Col Shadw ell, Assistant. Quartermaster-
General of the south-west district. At 6 a.m. the tugs, with
the invalided men, were well on their way to the Royal
Victoria Military Hospital at Netley; and the Alumbagh
and Queen of the South were on their way to the Thames.
Such a quick despatch as is here shown he conveying sick
soldiers from the 'tween decks of a troopship to the more
roomy and comfortable quarters of a military hospital Speaks
well for the good understanding which must exist between
the naval and military authorities at Portsmouth, and also
for the energy displayed by the Assist.-Quartermaster• Gen.
The headquarters of the Bth Hussars (the King's Royal
Irish) were disembarked at 1 p.m. yesterday from the In-
dianian Renown, and sent on by special train, the train
being brought inside the dockyard to receive the troops and
their luggage at 2 p.m. to Brighton. During the time the
troops were being disembarked Major• Gen Lord W. Paulet,
accompanied by his staff, rode into the dockyard end re-
mained some time witnessing the process of disembarkation
which was being effected under the superintendence of Col.
Shadwell.

a Private Pupil," " Lewis Arundel," and "Harry Cover-
dale's Courtship"—had a wide and a deserved popularity.
Hia last work was a volume of humorous poetry, called
"Mirth and Metre," written in conjunction with his friend
Mr. Edmund Yates. Mr. Smedley was in his 50th year,
The cause of death was apoplexy.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

WESTMINSTER.

EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENTS.—George Tarler, a young
man, was charged with embezzling various sums of money
received by him on account of his master, Mr. Henry Beavis,
baker, 68, Wharton-street, Pimlico.
Prosecutor said that the prisoner had been ten months in
his employ. It was part of his duty to carry out bread to
customers, and receive any sums they might wish to pay,
which he should have accounted for immediately upon his
return home.

Mrs. Margaret Knack, of 10, Halsey-street, Pimlico,
said that she was a customer of the prosecutor's, About
the 28th of March witness paid prisoner lOs for Mr. Hewett,
her lodger, and on the 11th of April 10s on her own account
for bread supplied. Witness produced the two receipts for
these amounts, which he gave at the time they were paid.
Mrs. Anne Selby, of 10, Halsey-terrace, said that she
also dealt with the prosecutor, and paid the prisoner 8s 10d
on Saturday last.
Prosecutor said he had never received the above amounts,
and prisoner had robbed him in like manner to a consider-
able amount.
Mr. Selfe asked if he would like time to ascertain the
amount of the embezzlements.

Prosecutor said he thought it would be next to useless,
and wished the magistrate to dispose of the matter sum-
marily.
Mr Selfe said he could not do that, he must commit the
prisoner for trial,
It was then arranged that the depositions should be taken
on the above charges, upon which he was committed.

of pauperising the people by long continued alms,
but the event has happily proved that such antici.
pations were groundless. It was necessary, no
doubt, to bear such a possibility in mind, but those
who feared that any largo proportion of the working
classes would voluntarily prefer dependence or
charitable relief to the earnings of honest industry,
did not appreciate the sturdy independence of Eng-
land's sons and daughters, A very touching scene
took place the other day in the neighbourhood of
Preston, on the occasion of the reopening of some
mills which were about to resume work after a stop-
page of a year and a half. The arrival of the cotton
was anxiously looked for, and when at last two
goodly waggons made their appearance by rail, the
popular delight was manifested in unmistakeable
terms. Flags and emblems of rejoicings floated
from the village windows, and the whole place bore
the aspect of a festival. A party of women, pre-
ceded by music, went to the railway aiding, and
pushed the waggons off the incline into the factory
yard, when the assembled crowd, numbering some
hundreds, gave appropriate expression to their feel-
ings on their deliverance from so great and pro-
longed a trial by singing the Doxology to the tune
of the grand Old Hundredth Psalm. Tears rolled
down the cheeks of many of these honest labourers,
and some couid not find voice to lift aloud. It was

a scene for a poet or a painter, pourtraying as it
did most vividly the national characteristics which
have made England what she is. The cheers of
the concourse were heard far away, and were sym-
pathised in doubtless by all who heard them ; for
few indeed could be found throughout the length
and breadth of the land who would not share in
the honourable satisfaction of these industrious
hands in once more earning their own bread.

STATE OF TRADE,

LEICESTER, Jtily 6.—The hosiery trade continues active.
Most kinds of goods are in request, and the trade generally
remains healthy. In the rural districts there is as much
doing as there has been for some time past. The wool
market is quiet, but high prices are yet made. Yarns hold
very firm, spinners being well engaged to orders, There
are no hosiery stocks on hand.

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, sth.--The north winds are
keeping light ships back, and causing a scarcity of tonnage.
Coal freights to the Mediterranean still are good; but the
only increase of imports from that port to the Tyne is
E3perto grass, which is continued to be largely used in
papermaking. There is a great demand for coke and
manufacturing coals, and the price of coke keeps very
steady. Last week 36,629 tons of coals, 1,912 tons of coke,
7,775 cwt. of iron, and 2,716 cwt. alkali were exported from
the Tyne.

NOTTINGHAM, 6th.—There is not so much doing this
week in lace goods. Cotton fabrics are a slow sale. The
disturbed state of the Continent checks the demand for
goods suitable for that market. There is not so much doing
in black silk laces, many of these goods being usually
finished for Germany. The silk quilling trade is still quiet.
Silk mechlins are without much change. There is less doing
in narrow silk edgings. A few buyers are in the town, but
their purchases are not extensive. A few irechlin quilling
orders are being finished ; in other respects the plain cotton
trade is dull, There is not much alteration in the hosiery
trade. A few home and foreign orders are in the market,
but the trade is on the whole quiet. Yarns are advancing
in price,

A King and Queen of Denmark,

Sir Lascelles Wraxall gives an extraordinary
account of King Christian VII. of Denmark and his
Queen Matilda (sister of George 111 of England).
Here is an anecdote of the King :—" One Sunday,
during divine service, when the Queen was divert-
ing herself in the riding-house in the rear of
Cnristiansborg Palace, the King was standing o❑
the balcony over the gateway, with his black and
his white boys, and threw from thence logs of fire-
wood, tongs, shovels, books, papers, and entire
drawers, down into the courtyard, and at last wanted
to hurl his fee curite Gourmand and the negro boy
over the balustrade. Among the papers thrown
down was a secret list of the fleet and the condition
of each ship, which the lackey of a foreign Minister
found and carried to his master. In the following
June the King broke all the windows in his own
and the Queen's apartments at Hirecholm, mashed
looking-glaisea, chairs, tables, and costly china
vases, and threw the fragments through the win-
dows into the yard, in which his playmates helped
him with all their might. At first such amuse-
ments on the part of the Sovereign excited great
surprise among the public, but they coon grew ac-
customed to them through their frequent repetition.',
The Queen was scarcely less eccentric, though her
eccentricity was in a measure " by command." The
following describes her appearances on horseback :
" While the Queen gained many hearts by her con-
descension, she aroused quite as much anger by her
free and easy manners. Ehe appeared at this feast
in male clothing, sitting her horse like a man,
which created a great scandal among the females.
She did so, however, by the special request of. her
husband, who hated ceremony, and, according to
his peculiar mania, liked his wife to display her
beautiful form. It is certain that riding en homme
soon after became the prevalent fashion among the
fine ladies of Copenhagen. Colonel Keith writes
home—' Au abominable riding habit, with a black
slouched hat, has been almost universe ly introduced
here, which gives every woman the air of an awke
ward postilion. In all the time I beet) been in
Denmark I never saw the Queen out in any other
garb.' "

RUMOURED RETIREMENT OF THE SFEAKER Or
THE HOUSE or COMMONS —During the last two or three
days a rumour has extensively prevailed at the clubs, and
seems to be generally believed in, that the Right Hon. J.
Evelyn Denison will retire from tho Speakership of the
House of Commons at the close of the present Parliament,
and be raised to the House of Peers, under the title of
Baron Mallon, which borough he represented for a period
of 16 years, or of Baron Ossin,gton, the name of his seat
in Nottinghamshire.
