M, JULLIEN'S BAL MASQUE.

The mantle of Jullien pere seems to have de-
scended on his son, together with his popularity.
The close of his concert season at Her Majesty's
Theatre—the season itself having been an unques-
tionable success—was last night marked by one of
the largest gatherings at a bal masque within our
recollection.

The re-arrangement of the theatre showed judg-
ment. In place of the two narrow straits on each
side of the orchestra,where the proscenium contracts
the space, and wherein on crowded nights the pro-
menaders have their bodily circulation impeded and
their physical circulation accelerated by a squeeze,
and an atmosphere recalling the " horrors of the
middle passage," the withdrawal of the musicians
entirely to the back of tile stage; gave ample scope
for passing ; indeed it was the part chosen for much
of the saltatory evolutions in front of the removed
orchestra. The decorations of the theatre were
tasteful, and the boxes well filled for such an occa-
sion, when the more ardent pleasure seekers prefer
mixing in the revelry to looking on from " some
coign of vantage."

The inventor of the celebrated " Greek fire," Levi
Short, died in Philadelphia on the 26th ult.

MR. EDMONDSTONE, late lieutenant-governor of
the north-western provinces of Bengal, has been made a
K.C.8., and Colonel C. R. W. Hervey, of the Bombay Staff
Corps, a C.B.

MR. CONINGIIAM, M.P., does not intend to retire
from the representation of Brighton until the end of the

'TIE AUSTRALIAN COLONIES are in a ferment,
remarks the Spectator, even the judges joining in
public meetings to protest against the revival of transpor-
tation to any part of the continent. Even as it is, bushrangers
in New South Wales plunder small towns with impunity,
and the colonists affirm that wherever they may be sent the
convicts will sooner or later make their way to the settled
districts. It appears to be beyond question that if the plan
be persisted in the colonists will resist, and it must not be
forgotten that even the Cape Colony, which has not begun
to talk of setting up for itself, rebelltd against the introduc-
tion of prisoners.

THE EXTRAORDINARY MATTER OF HERR STRAUS•
BERG.—The public attention has been much excited by
the extraordinary circumstances attending a complaint
made last Saturday by Herr Strausberg against Mr, Thos.
Napper, member 'of a Sussex family of respectability and
position. The charge was one of assault arising as it seems
from the circumstance of Herr Strausberg having two of
Mr. Napper's daughters under his roof, one, as it was ad-
mitted, Tither as his wife or Jiving in that position. Yes •
terday the case was to have been resumed, and Mr. Napper
appeared before the magistrate, but Herr Strausberg did
not attend, and so the matter finished.

This morning the landlady of the house in which Herr
Strausberg had resided, in Ebury-street, Pimlico, came to
this Court and solicited the magistrate's advice. She said
that Herr Strausberg and the lady who passed as his wife
had left her apartments on Sunday, and had subsequently
sent for some of the things they had left, and her object
now was to inquire whether she should be right in giving
them up.

Mr. Arnold—l don't know anything about the matter
excepting what I have seen in the newspapers, but why
should you not give them up ?
Applicant--Mr. Napper came to me and desired me not
to do so on any account. After that Mr. Strausberg sent his
servant for the things with money to discharge his bill
at my houee, and I would have given him the property, but
I did not know whether I should be doing right or wrong.
Am I authorised to keep them, or, if Mr. Strausberg sends
aga,n, shall I give them to his servant ?
Mr. Arnold—l repeat that I don't know anything about
this case as a magistrate ; but I may say that, as a general
ruse, the owner of property left at :odgings is entitled to it
upon payment of all just demands, and it is unimportant
whether the application is made for it by the owner himself
or his servant or other, person known to be representing
him. This property is bound to bo restured to the owner or
his authorised agent.

Applicant—l have no claim to detain it, and am anxious
to get rid of it, but I don't know what to do, as Mr.
Napper claims the things.
Mr. Arnold—What are they ?
Applicant—Principally the lady's wearing apparel. She
has always passed in my house as Mrs. Strausberg, but
Mr. Napper says she is not. She is his daughter, and he
claims the things as belonging to him, and says I am not
to give them up.
Mr Arnold—On what does ho found his claim ?
Applicant—He says that his daughter's wearing apparel
is his, because she is not of ago.

Mr. Arnold—What is her age ?

Applicant—l should think about 18.
Mr. Arnold—Then, I must say, I think ho is wrong.
If the daughter is 18 years of age I think her personal
wearing apparel is her own.

- -
Applicant—Then I shall let Mr. Strausberg have it
when he again sends for it. 1 really have no desire to keep
the things.

BOW-STREET.

EMBEZZLEMENT BY A PORTER.—A young man named
James Newson was placed at the bar bofore Mr. Currie,
charged with embezzling various sums of money, the pro-
perty of his employer.
The prisoner was engaged as porter in the establishment
of Messrs Firmin, button manufacturer, in the Strand, and
from certain suspicious circumstances it was determined to
give him into custody. Ackrill, one of the detective officers
in the F division of police, this morning about 2 o'clock
apprehended the prisoner in Houghton- st reet, Clare-market,
and told him that he was charged with embezzling money,
the property of Messrs. Firmin. Ho did not deny the
charge, but merely remarked it was now too late to think
of it.

Mr. Broughton, tailor, Southampton-street, Strand, said
a small sum of money was paid on account of Messrs. Fir-
min, and the receipt he held in his hand was given as an
acknowledgment of the payment. It was signed Tames
Newson.

Mr. Clay, foreman to Messrs. Firmin, said the prisoner
was in their employ as porter. It was his duty, when he
was required to do so, to receive sums of money for the firm.
Some trifling articles had been supplied to Messrs. Brough-
ton, and the receipt produced was in the handwriting of the
prisoner, He had never paid the money over, or in any
way accounted for it. There was another case that had
been discovered, where he had received £3, of which no
return had been made, and it was expected that the defal-
cations of the prisoner would be found on examination to
amount to something considerable.
Ackrill said, as he was not in a position at that time to
offer any further evidence, he had to apply for a remand.
Mr. Corrie at once remanded the prisoner until Friday
next.

THE GERMAN CAPTAIN ON SHORE.—A girl named
Elizabeth Smith, who called herself Hart in the station-
house, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with
stealing a black leather purse, containing 225. in silver and
a half sovereign, the property of Captain Jacob Brincke,
the master of the ship Esperance. The prosecutor, a
German, who could only speak a few words of English,
said he fell in with the prisoner last night and lost his
purse and money, but how it was taken he could not say.
Walter Cobley, potman at the Ship public-house, Lime.
kiln hill, Limehouse, sail the prisoner and the captain
came there last night. The captain was a little the worse

for liquor, and had in his possession a bundle containing
four half-qugrtern loaves. After he had supplied the
captain and the girl with some refreshment, his mistress
said that something wrong was going on, and he went into
the room whero he had left the prisoner and the captain.
The girl had the captain's purse in her hand, and he took
it from her. A hs.lf•sovereign dropped out. There
was a scramble for the half-sovereign, and another female
tried to get possession of it. He then gave the prisoner
into custody.

The prisoner. said that the captain gave her 25., which
was all the money she had about her, and that the captain
gave her his purse and money to take care of. She never
intended to rob him, but some Irish people in the public
house would have fleeced him of every thing if she had not
been present.

The captain was recalled, and through Mr.! Wintjen,
an interpreter, said he might have given the girl his purse.
Mr. Partridge discharged the prisoner.
THE HORRIBLE DENS IN NEPTUNE-COURT.—Margaret
Macarthy, a large Irish woman, was brought before Mr.
Partridge, for the second time, on remand, charged with
stealing a pair of boots and a Guernsey frock from the per-
son of William Claris, a sailor bcy, whom she inveigled into
an infamous house, 10, Neptune-court, near the Cock and
Neptune public-house in Rataliff-highway.
The lad was stripped of his frock and boots directly ho
entered the door, where four other sailors wore plundered
on the same night. His ship, the Lucerne, sailed yester-
day morning for Cardiff without him. His feet were naked.
The prisoner pleaded guilty.
Mr. Partridge said that sailors were continually being
plundered and ill-used by the loose women and bullies in
Neptune-court. The prisoner had committed a most dar-
ing robbery, and he sentenced her to six months' imprison.
merit and hard labour in the Westminster prison.

The chief Police-master of Warsaw has, on his
side, communicated an order to his agents by which
each of them is bound to arrest ten Poles a-week, so
that in a given time, if the insurrection lasts long

incredible, but a friend of mind has in his possession

t he
should be less than half of what it was in
second. The currency which now constitutes aim mat
the sole circulating medium in the United. Stat es
belongs to the class of what are termed on th. a Stot !lc
Exchange "speculative securities." The nave wit h
which a citizen of New York or Washingto pui
chases what is necessary for his daily wants ch tinges
materially in value from day to day, accordie 'g as
the fortunes of armies fighting in distant reg ions
vary, or as stock-jobbers speculate for a " rise' or
" fall." Gold which to-day is quoted at 35 premi
may, from a variety of circumstances, be quoted ..at
25 or at 45 a week subsequently. This is the' ire.-
sent condition of a Republic which three years si nee
was esteemed the most prosperous in the wo rid.
Singular as this condition is, it entirely fails to r iVet•
the notice of those to whom seemingly the char iges
which have been wrought should be most appa nent.
The Americans no doubt think it a nuisance tt LE a
difference should exist between the apparent and.
the real value of a bank note ; but they Iwo, icile
themselves to it as being one of the hard condi, cions
of war. Their armies are now, as they consider, on
the high road to victory, and as each succeto will
diminish the premium on specie, the paper cur-
rency will be at par simultaneously with the
extinction of the rebellion. It is purely a r aatter
of time, and to all appearances a very sh, time,
when the Union, refreshed rather than exA, misted
by its recent struggles, will once more shin forth
the envy and the admiration of all other S tates.
With such prospects, who, then, ought to be sur-
prised that the premium on gold has fallen in stead
A
of risen during the past year ? Nay, rather, who
should not express his astonishment that capit4 .lists
do not eagerly convert their gold and silver on 'such
profitable terms into the Treasury notes of the
United States of America ? It is idle to argue ' ith
those who hold this language ; and, as it is use 1 ess
to dilate on the pleasures of vision to one wh o is
born blind, it is equally in vain to endeavour to cin I-
vey to the hitherto untaxed people of America a
notion of the weight of the burdens which are
occasioned by a gigantic national debt, Mr. Glad-,
stone on one occasion spoke in Parliament of what
he termed "an ignorant impatience of taxation.'
At present it may be said that the American nation
are simply ignorant of this mode of providing for
the satisfaction of State liabilities. When the war:.
has terminated, it will be seen whether they wil .1
also deserve to be characterised as impatient c
taxation.

THE GERMAN CAPTAIN ON SHORE.—A girl named
Elizabeth Smith, who called herself Hart in the station-
house, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with
stealing a black leather purse, containing 225. in silver and
a half sovereign, the property of Captain Jacob Brincke,
the master of the ship Esperance. The prosecutor, a
German, who could only speak a few words of English,
said he fell in with the prisoner last night and lost his
purse and money, but how it was taken he could not say.
Walter Cobley, potman at the Ship public-house, Lime-
kiln hill, Limehouse, said the prisoner and the captain
came there last night. The captain was a little the worse
for liquor, and had in his possession a bundle containing
four half-qugrtern loaves. After he had supplied the
captain and the girl with some refreshment, his mistress
said that something wrong was going on, and he went into
the room whera he had left tke prisoner and the captain.
The girl had the captain's purse in her band, and he took
it from her. A half-sovereign dropped out. There
was a scramble for the half-sovereign, and another female
tried to get possession of it. He then gave the prisoner
into custody.

The prisoner said that the captain gave her 25., which
was all the money she lad about her, and that the captain
gave her his purse and money to take care Of. She never
intended to rob him, but some Irish'people in the public
house would have fleeced him of every thing if she had not
been present.

The captain was recalled, and through Mr.! Wintjen,
an interpreter, said he might have given the girl his puree.
Mr. Partridge discharged the prisoner,

THE HORRIBLE DENS IN NEPTUNE-COURT.—Margaret

speech, in which, referring to Russia, he, expressed
a hope that present circumstances would end peace-
fully ; the Russians, however, were ready for any
sacrifice, and as Moscow was burned, so they would
not shrink from burning St. Petersburg if neces-
sary.

If foreign nations were for peace, the Russians
would receive it on honourable terms, and bless
God for peace.
