"THE GHOST CLUB" at thel
CANTERBURY HALL. —New and Interesting
Spectral Tableaux.—Mr. C. MORTON is enabled to announce
that, thromh the medium of Professor Pepper's World of
Shadows, a "GHOST CLUB" is nightly held at the CAN-
TER BURY HALL. The object of the Club is not the re-
peopling of the Haunted Houses of London ; but, through
the agency of Phantoms, to present vivid (if transient)
pictures of the drama of real life, both in its serious
and mirthful aspects ; and, by means of spectral tableaux.
to recall, and still further impress on the mind, some
of the teachings or pleasantries of the best wr ters. At pre-
sent, the two orders of Slavery—the Slavery of the South,
and the " White" Slavery of a more boastful civilisation,
receive emphatic illustration ; and these lite pictures will be
rapidly replace iby others. The pages of Shakspere and the
elder Dramatists, of Scott, Hood, lngoldsby, Dickens, &c., &c.,
in turns, furnish subjects for illustration.
All the other Musical and Pictorial attractions as usual,
including Operatic Selections, &c. ; comedy by Unsworth
(the modern Demosthenes), Eugene, George Hodson, E.
Marshall, and George Ilutchenson.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

PIC9NG A LADY'S POCKET.--Wm. Lindsay, described
as a tailor, but who there is reason to believe has been con-
victed, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with picking the
pocket of a lady named Comyns, while seeing her child and
servant into an omnibus at the Oxford-street corner of the
Tottenham-oourt-road.

Mrs. Comyns felt a tug at her pocket, and on looking
round saw the prisoner's hand leave her pocket. She then
missed some silver from her pocket, and pursued the pri-
soner, who ran away, and at last he was stopped by a con-
stable. On the constable, Mitchell, 293 A, taking him
into custody he said he was innocent, and that he was
running beause he wanted an omnibus.
In answer to Mr. Louis Lewis the prosecutrix said there
were several persons near her at the time, all pressing to
get into the omnibus. She, however, distinctly saw the
prisoner's hand leave her pocket.
Mr. Lewis asked, as he could not resist a convictions that
the magistrate would deal with the prisoner.
Mr. Tyrwhitt commitied the prisoner—who kept his head
turned away from the °Mons, evidently to avoid being re-
cognised—for 3 months with hard labour.
Prisoner seemed pleased at the result.

London, England, 1863-12-21

A letter from Madrid, of the 15th, says :--gc
fresh meeting of the representatives of the press
took place yesterday at the house of M. Rivero, the
object being to decide whether the explanations of
M. Rios Roses should be accepted and the absten-
tion given up. The discussion was very animated,
in consequence of several journals, commercial
rather than political, such as the: Correspondencia
and the Epoca, as well as others which depend on
the Government, like the Reino, being desirous s
of overruling what had been before agreed on.
Opinions could not be reconciled. Five journals,
the Correspondencia, the I poca, the
the .{anon Lspano/a; and the Trzbztna, de-
clared themselves oppoecd to abstention, and
from to.morrow they will recommence publish-
ing the sittings of the Congress. The 16 other
journals maintain what was decided upon at the
former meeting. The alliance being thus broken,
although by only an insignificant minority, things
will rezurn by degrees to their old state, and the
triumph of the President of the Congress over the
press will be complete. In the opinion of impar-
tial persons, the press ought not to have thrown
down the gauntlet, since the same firmness did
not exist among all the representatives of the
journals in supporting what had been decided on.
When the five journalists presented themselves
to-day in the tribune, a derisive smile might be
observed on the lips of the deputies. In politics
when a threat, is not followed by a blow, ridicule
is sure to fall on the matter."
London, England, 1863-12-21

The jury found there had been no felony committed.

His Lordship then addressed them on the subject of da-
mages, directing them to assess the damages under the
different heads separately, with a view to the ulterior pro-
ceedings.

The jury fixed the damages at £lOO for the false impri-
sonment, £25 far the money and other goods, and £5 for
the loss of the certificate.

HOOD V. HORSFALL AND OTHERS.

This was an action w;ider Lord Campbell's act, brought
by the plaintiff as administratrix to recover damages for
herself and children for the death of her husband, result-
ing as it was alleged from the negligence of the defendants.
Mr. Aspinal.l, Q,C., and Mr. C. Russell were for the
plaintiff; and Mr. Brett, Q.C., and Mr. Baylis for the de-
fendants,

The defendants are exten&ve iromongers at Liverpool,
carrying on business under the name of the Mersey Steel
and Iron Company. The deceased was in the service of
the defendants as a hammersuaith, and had been so for 30

years.
It appeared that the defendants had recently built a new
shed containing a number of boilers, and an extensive set
of steam hammers. Tho deceased was at work at one of
those hammers. All the boilers, except the one at which
ho was working, were carried up through the roof ; but that
one, and part of the chimney connected with it, was within
the building. Around that chimney there was a large hole
in the roof, which had been left in order to prevent the con-
tact of the heated chimney with the building ; there was
also a man-hope in the roof close by. One day, while de-
ceased was engaged at work, he was struck by a heavy block
and pulley, and severely injured in the head. Whore the
block and pulley came from could not be ascertained, but
it was supposed to have come through one of the holes in
the roof, where it was proved the shed was in an unfinished
state, and workmen might have been about at the time. It
was also proved that the ordinary vibration of the roof was
great, the suggestion being that the fall of articles from the
roof might have been caused by that.
His Lordship observed that the law relating to such cases
was still unsettled, and under all the circumstances of this
case it was very desirable that some arrangement should be
come to, without binding the defendants by any admission
of liability.
Ultimately it was agreed that a nonsuit should be entered;
and that defendants should pay to the plaintiff such a SUM
as his lordship, under all the circumstances, should think
reasonable.

to the corps, have received orders to prepare for
active service. Measures have been taken to rein-
force this corps, especially in cavalry and infantry,
and will be carried into effect by augmentations and
displacement of corps. Marching orders have also
been given to the regiments of infantry of the
Guard, stationed in distant provinces, who will
occupy the province of Brandenburg at an early
date. The horses required by the troops and
various departments have been purchased. So
that the moment the order for mobilisation is
given, the Prussian Executive Corps may be com-
pleted with the briefest delay by the incorporation
of the reserves. Part of the army corps, consist
ing of the 11th Infantry Brigade, the 3d Hussar
Regiment, and two batteries, has been already mo
bilised and marched to-day,

2. The fortifications intended to protect the still
unfinished harbour of Jande are being continued.
The garrison will consist of infantry, artillery, and
engineers, who are already on the march.
3. Measures are being taken to defend all other
harbours and places upon the seaboard. The war
vessels of the fleet have been victualled and put in
a condition for service ; the officers and sailors of
the aaval reserve have been called out ; all vessels
of the fleet stationed abroad have received orders
adapted to the occasion.

Saxon artillery passed through Berlin last
night upon its way to Holstein. Although at a
late hour, the crowd assembling at the Anhalt sta-
tion was large, and loudly cheered the Saxons.

Intelligence comps in from all sides confirming
the belief that the Danish Government has ordered
its troops to offer no opposition to the Federal army
upon entering Holstein. It is not known, however,
to what point the Danish troops will withdraw, for
it is certain that the tete de-pont at Frederickstadt
has been placed in a state of defence, and that
j
Neumunster, at the unction of the roads from
Altona to Kiel and Rendsburg to Lubeck, has been
also fortified. Palisades have a;so been set up at
Rendsburg upon the ramparts erected some years
ago between the old town and the Neuwerk.

"T " GHOST CLUB" at the
CANTERBURY HALL—New and Interesting
Spectral Tableaux.—Mr. C. MO RTON is enabled to announce
that, throu.zh the medium of Professor Pepper's World of
Shadows, a "GHOST CLUB" is nightly held at the CAN—
TERBURY HALL. The object of the Club is not the re-
peopling of the Haunted Houses of London; but, through
the agency of Phantoms, to present vivid (if transient)
pictures of the drama of real lite, both in its serious
and mirthful aspects and, by means of spectral tableaux,
to recall, and still further impress on the mind, some
cf the teachings or pleasantries of the best waters. At pre-
sent, the two orders of Slavery—the Slavery of the South,
and the "White" Slavers of a more boastful civilisation,
receive emphatic illustration ; and these life pictures will be
rapidly t eplace Iby others. The pages of Shakspere and the
el ler Dramatists, of Scott. Hood, lneoldsby, Dickens, &c., &c.,
will, in turns, furnish subjects for illustration.
All the other Musical and Pictorial attractions as usual,
including Operatic Selections, &c. ; Comedy by Unsworth
(the modern Demosthenes), Eugene, George Hodson, E.
Marshall, and George Hutchenson.

The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the
Bank of British Columbia took place to-day—Mr.
T. W. L. Mackean in the chair. The report, which
recommended a dividend for the past nine months
at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income
tax, was carried. It was stated that the profits to
the 30th June last, after deducting all charges,
amounted to £7,101, and that a new branch had
been opened at Freshfield, in British Columbia, in
the midst of the gold fields.

There have been several variations in the English
Funds since yesterday afternoon ; at that time they
closed at a decline of per cent,, and daring the
earlier part of this morning another fall of
amounting altogether to per cent., was reported.
The down ward tendency was, no doubt, induced by
sales for the purpose of terminating outstanding
accounts for a rise. The receipt, however, of better
prices from the :Paris Bourse, has produced a re-
covery of j ; and Consols, which have been 931

NOVEL SCENE IN A CIRCUS.—A singular inci-
dent occurred three evenings ago at the Rainci
Circus at Ostend, when the Duchess de Brabant was pre-
sent. The performance terminated by a stag hunt, in which
the animal, finding itself surrounded, made a desperate leap
and alighted in the royal box at the feet of the duchess.
It then jumped over the low partition, rushed down the
grand staircase at the back of the box, gained the street,
and has not since been heard of. This unexpected feat,
which was not on the programme, excited general laughter
in the theatre, in which the duchess herself was one of the
first to join.—Galignani.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
Be Advised.—Sufferers from disease would act wisely in
trying these noble remedies before they abandon further
efforts for recovering their lost and fading health. The
momentous question of enjoying health or enduring illness
should determine all invalids to 'use Holloway's healing
Ointment and purifying Pills before yielding themselves
up to despair. The Ointment not only. cures all skin dis-
eases, outward sores, and superficial inflammations, but
restrains deep-seated ailments of the throat, chest, and
bowels, when it is well rubbed externally over those parts.
From this Ointment's known power to quell irritation, it
was supposed it would be eminently useful in checking
diphtheria, diarrhoea, and dysentery, a prediction which
time, experience, and reflection have verified.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—This Day.

(Before Mr. Sergeant Gazelee.)
Two men, named Macey and Fitzjohn, were indicted for
robbing their employer ; and Henry Austin was indicted
for receiving the property, well knowing it to have been
stolen.

The first two prisoners were carmen in the service of
Messrs. Marshall, who resided near Hendon, and the offence
they stood charged with was that they, against the order of
their employer, went into the corn store and took a quantity
of corn, alleging that it was for the purpose of feeding their
horses. They, however, were seen to stop at the Cock
publichouse, Kilburn, when one of them took the nosebag,
which was then full, out of the cart, and go with it to Austin,
who was engaged in superintending horses there. When
the prisoner returned it was found he had disposed of the
corn, and then the men were charged with feloniously did-
posing of the property of Mee srs. Marshall, and Austin with
receiving it.
The learned judge summed up the case, and the jury
returned a verdict of guilty against all three prisoners, but
strongly recommended them to mercy.
Sergeant Gazelee, in passing sentence, said it was to be
regretted that men possessing a good character should stand
in their position. It was much to be regretted that a very
lax state of morality existed amongst a certain class of per-
sons who thought that, providing they did not take the whole
of their master's property, it was no harm to appropriate a
portion of it to their own benefit. He was sorry
that that state of things existed, and in the present
instance it was thought that because the Messrs.
Mai shall had a great quantity of property, which was, to
some extent, under the care of the prisoners, that therefore
it was no harm to sell some of it. Had the receiver,
Austin, not received a recommendation to mercy, he
should have felt it his duty to pass a very severe sen-
tence on him ; because if there were no receivers
there would be no thieves. Under all the circumstances,
he felt justified in passing a comparatively mild sentence,
as the jury had recommended them all to mercy. He should
sentence each of them to three months' imprisonment, with
hard labour.

Shooting a Gamekeeper in Essex.

We deeply regret to learn that the commencement of the
shooting season has been marked by one .of these desperate
conflicts often leading to murder, which, though heard of
in other parts of the kingdom, are happily not frequent in
Essex. No serious personal injury has in this instance
been sustained, though as a band of game watchers were
twice fired upon by poachers, it appears to have been a mere
chance of the moment that life was not sacrificed.

It seems that early on Sunday morning four keepers on
the estate of T. B. Western, Esq , of Felix Hall, were
watching the:preserves, known as the Thicks,at Rivenhall,
expecting, it would seem from their strong force, an attack
upon the game in that quarter. About six o'clock they
heard several reports of fire-arms, and on reaching the spot
from which the sounds proceeded they encountered two
poachers with guns, one of whom was recognised as Henry
Towns, keeper of the Cherry Tree, a small public-house in
the outskirts of Witham; and Thos Ager, a labourer, of the
same place. Of course the keepers prepared to close with
the depredators, and Wm. Burrell, one of them being in
front, attempted to take Towns, who turned upon him,
raised his gun, and deliberately fired. Fortunately the
charge failed to take effect, but the escape was very narrow
indeed, as it passed between Burrell's arm and body and cut
down the brushwood immediately behind him. The keepers
instantly closed upon him, and after a desperate struggle
they obtained possession of the gun and secured him. Bur-
rell then observed Ager, the other man, making his escape
with a gun in his hand, and being the youngest and ap-
parently the most active of the keepers, he at once gave
chase and rapidly gained upon his man, who, finding he
must be taken, turned, when his pursuer was within a few
feet of him, pointed his gun at him, and fired.e The:charge
struck the keeper in the side and knocked him down, setting
fire to his clothes and injuring his flesh, but fortunately
none of the shots entered his body. Ager then escaped.
The other keepers immediately ran to Burrell's assistance,
and found the poor fellow lying on the ground. On examin-
ing him they found his clothing shot away, his breast very
much bruised and discoloured, but, as we have said, most
fortunately none of the shots had penetrated. Towns was
handed over to the police and quickly transferred to the
Witham station. Superintendent Catrhpoole, with his men,
immediately went in pursuit of Ager, who was apprehended
between 7 and 8 in the evening. Ager at first denied having
been at Rivenhall, but afterwards observed, " The gun went
off by accident." The prisoner was taken to Springfield
police station for the night, and yesterday he was conveyed
to Witham for examination.
Ager is a young and powerful man, and he has previously
been convicted of poaching and theft,--Essex Reraid.

KEATING'S PERSIAN INSECT DESTROY-
ING POWDER, for which a Prize Medal was awarded
to the Producer at the International Exhibition, 1862,
This Powder is quite harmless to an mal life, but is un-
rivalled in destroying Fleas, Bugs, Flies, Cockroaches,
Beetles, Gnats, Mosquitos, Moths in furs, and every other
species of Insect.
Sportsmen will find this an invaluable remedy for destroy-
ing Fleas in their Dogs, as also Ladies for their Pet Dogs.
Being the original importer of this now invaluable article,
which has found so great a sale that it has tempted other* to
vend a so-called article, the public are therefore cautioned to
observe that the packets of the Genuine Powder bear the
autogragh of THOMAS KEATING.
Sold in packets, ls., 2s. ed., and 4s. 6d. each, or post free for

THE EGYPTIAN HALL.

Mr. J. K. Lord's descriptive and pictorial entertainment
may now be said to have taken the position of one of the
established and favourite places of resort in London. A
very agreeable, ple4sant, and withal most instructive even-
ing may be spent with Mr. Lord in his Piccadilly wilder-
ness ; now, listening to his wonderful travels, history, and
hair-breadth 'stapes by flood and field ; and again, to the
wild songs of the trapper, with which his narrative is in-
terspersed. Mr. Lord's very eloquent descriptions of the
wonders of Oregon, Vancouver's Island, British Columbia,
and the Rocky Mountains are rendered highly interesting
by the exquisite panoramic views with which he accompanies
them. So appropriate are the decorations, so striking the
pictures, added to the hunter-like costume and accoutre-
ments Rnd the earnestness of the lecturer, that the visitor
is occasionally liable to forget the fact that he is comfortably
seated in a hall in Piccadilly and not actually on the trail
of a trapper in the far West.

The Lord Mayor, who is a Freemason, has been
frequently passed the sign by prisoners brought before him.
Ilis lordship latterly, in consequence of this, made an in,
dignant remonstrance to a prisoner—and A brother,
