A new code of regulations has just been issued at
the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, which has
occasioned considerable murmuring among the class
employed as hall servants, and who are retired pen-
sioners from the Royal Artillery and Royal Engi-
neers. For upwards of 20 years it appears these old
soldiers have been invariably appointed to the above
named capacity, and have been hitherto well con-
tented with the berth, from which they derived a
quiet and comfortable livelihood for themselves and
families. The emoluments were as follows :-
2s. 4d. per day each, and the privilege of taking
home the, scraps and broken victuals remaining
after the cadets' meals. The new regulations now
deprive them of the latter advantage, without any
increase of pay. This they complain of as an in-
justice and severity. Unless remedied, they ask
that their pay be increased to 35., similar to that of
the out-door servants.

The Royal gun factories, under the assistant-
superintendence of Mr. John Anderson, in Wool-
wich Arsenal having been closed since Tuesday
week forthe purpose of completing the taking stock,
yesterday resumed operations, for the opening of
the financial year commenced on the Ist inst. The
250 mechanics and labourers who had received
notice of dismissal are ordered to be retained. Not-
withstanding that the estimates are settled for the
departmental expenses, and the new year has fairly
set in, nothing has officially transpired from the
War Department beyond the rumour that Briga-
dier-Gen. St. George, R.A.C.8., President of the
Ordnance Select Committee, will be the new
Inspector-General of Warlike Stores, and he will be
succeeded in the Select Committee by Col. Lefroy,
R.A., and also that Mr. Anderson will continue in
the Royal gun factories as Superintendent, in suc-
cession to Sir W. Armstrong, resigned.

been recently detained at Nancy by the marriage
of one of his nieces, but will arrive in Paris on
Saturday.
Le Constitutionnel gives a brilliant account of the
Emperor's recent review of the troops at Lang

reception by the soldiers.
Le S ecle, we observe, contains to-day nearly four

effect that Pope Pius IX. has addressed a letter to
the Emperor of Austria in favour of the reconstitu•

Napoleon 111. and the Parisians.

From the Pays of yesterday we take the follow-
ing :—The Avenue de Vincennes, the Place du
'hone, the Boulevard du Prince Eugene, and all
the line of the old Boulevards, presented to view on
Monday a spectacle as interesting as it was pic-
turesque. All this long perspective was lined upon
both sides with a dense throng of spectators—some
seated, some standing—a multitude who were
patiently awaiting the passing by of the Emperor
and the Empress on their return from the races at
Vincennes.

Upon the approach of the carriages containing
their Majesties and suite, a burst of acclamations
and vivats resounded spontaneously from the bosom
of the crowd, atd in several places along the route
(this being particularly noticeable upon the Place du
'hone and the Boulevard du Prince Eugene) the
roadway was so blocked up by the pressure of the
throng that the Imperial cortege had to move on
at a loot pace.

A similar display of popular enthusiasm had
been witnessed on the previous day, that is upon
Easter Sunday, towards the Emperor, the Empress,
and the Prince Imperial when passing amongst the
elegant promenaders on the Champs Elysees. And
if during these two days strangers had witnessed
these veritable ovations, they would certainly have
understood at last how the Imperial dynasty pos-
sesses the most earnest and cordial sympathies in
the heart of the population.

We commend the foregoing incident to the con
sideration of Mr. Kinglake, et hoc genus onmes!

MR. WOODIN AT EDINBURGH:

(From the Caledonian Mercury.)
Last Monday night Mr. W. S. Woodin commenced his
admirable entertainment in the Waterloo Rooms. Since
his last appearance in Edinburgh Mr. Woodin has altogether
changed, not so much the nature of his entertainment as
the line of characters he represents. His clever initation
of the varied personages to bo met with in a railway
train has given place to a description of the social habits of
the community during the four seasons of the year; and
there is a freshner.s about the whole entertainment which
cannot fail to be attractive. The numerous characters
which Mr. Woodin represents to his audience are hit off
to the life; and the rapidity with which the changes
are made is truly marvellous. Perhaps Mr. Woodin's
greatest success is his personation of Lord Dundreary ; and
those who have not seen Mr. Sothern in this great piece
could find no better impersonator of the character than Mr.
Woodin. We can warmly recommend this entertainment
to the Edinburgh public ; and from the reception which Mr.
Woodin met with last night from a crowded audience, there
is no doubt that his cabinet of curiosities will be largely
patronised during his stay in this city.

THE FEDERALS " DONE " AGAIN.

LIVERPOOL, Wednesday.

F eldne rsal
tinnally outwitted by their Confederate opponents,
and a case has just now come to light which will
be almost as mortifying to them as the escape of
the Alabama. Some short time since four men,
quartermasters of the Great Eastern, and who had
been gunners in the Royal Navy, left the " big
ship," and joined a vessel--the Japan—fitting out at
Greenock for " China and other Eastern ports."
More recently these quartermasters came to Liver-
pool and shipped about 100 men at the Sailors'
Home, paying each the customary advance. Some
of the men soon got intoxicated, and next day,
thinking none the better for their bargain, and hav-
ing learnt some secrets from an indiscreet quarter-
master, they paid a visit to Mr. Dudley, the Ame-
rican Consul, and told him that they had been ship-
ped for service on board the Japan, a vessel fitted
out to "burn, sink, and destroy all Federal vessels
she met with." Mr. Dudley at once telegraphed to
Mr. Adams. Mr. Adams promptly called upon Earl
Russell ; and the Foreign Secretary, anxious to dis-
play his impartiality, telegraphed to Mr. S. Price
Edwards, thA collec.or of the customs, to stop the
Japan. Mr. Dudley having promised to send up the
sworn depositions of the sailors by the next post.
Mi. Edwards at once looked into the bill of entry,
but nothing could be seen of the Japan there, so
thinking that she might soon enter the river, he
ordered tour revenue gigs to cruise up and down to
stop her as soon as she made her appearance. No
Japan, however, turned up, and Mr. Edwards than
telegraphed to Eel Russell that he must have been
misinformed. On further investigation into the mat-
ter it was discovered that Mr. Dudley had forgotten
to state that the Japan was at Greenock. However
when this became known, the Government orders
were telegraphed to Greenock, but, alas for Federal
hopes, the Japan, rechristened the Virginia, had
sailed for an unknown destination, and soon she
will, doubtless, prove herself a worthy sister ship to
the Alabama, Florida, and Oreto. It is to be hoped
that the next time Mr. Consul Dudley uses the
telegraph he will not stint using the funds at his
disposal in paying for messages which will explain
fully all he has to tell.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)
A man named Parsons was found guilty of stealing a
quantity of woollen plaid, the property of his employer.
A former conviction for two years was proved against
him, and it was also intimated to the court that ever since
the City Prison at Holloway had been erected the prisoner
had been a frequent visitor to that establishment.

The learned judge sentenced him to six years' penal ser-
vitude.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,---This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A WHITTLE SHARPER COMMITTED FOR• ROBBERY.—
Robert Frost, a notorious skittle sharper and magaman,
who gave a false address, was well dressed, and when taken
into custody was wearing a handsome "gold" watch and
chain of the value of about 10s., and had is his pocket se-
veral imitation sovereigns usually carried by skittle sharpers,
was charged with stealing a bagatelle table • cover, the pro-
perty of Mr. John Doughty, of the Catherine-wheel Tavern,
Great Windmill-street.

Mr. Doughty said that about 10 o'clock last night the
prisoner entered his bagatelle loom, and shortly after left,
taking the cover with him.

In answer to Mr. Knox the prosecutor said prisoner bad
been drinking at the time.

A young man corroborated Mr D aughty.
A constable said he went to the address given by the
prisoner, and found it to be false.

Mr. Knox asked if any thing was known of the prisoner?
Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said he had known the prisoner for
years as a skittle sharper and !flagman, and to get his
living by picking up countrymen, but he never knew him
to be convicted. The prisoner's father formerly kept the
Catherine Wheel, now kept by the prosecutor.
In answer to Mr. Knox, the prisoner said he wished to
be tried at once, but he did not mean to steal the cover.
Mr. Knox said that was equivalent to a plea of not guilty,
and the prisoner had better go for trial.
The prisoner then said he would plead guilty.
Mr. Knox said the case was proved against him, and
with the knowledge they had of his previous character,
there could be little douLt about it. He should commit him
for two months with hard labour.
The prisoner's " valuables" were ordered to be given to
him on leaving prison.

From the Pays of yesterday we take the follow-
ing :—The Avenue de Vincennes, the Place du
Trope, the Boulevard du Prince Eugene, and all
the line of the old Boulevards, presented to view on
Monday a spectacle as interesting as it was pic-

STEA.LING BILK.

George Griffiths and Eliza Hall were indicted for stealing
a q .antity of silk, value £4O.

The prisoner Hall pleaded guilty, and the man not guilty.
The property in question was stolen from the shop
of a silk mercer, where they went for the purpose
of purchasing a dress. The silk stolen was
lying on the top of a pile, and after the dress had been
selected and paid for they were followed out of shop and
accused of the robbery. They denied it, but the property
was taken from a large pocket in the dress of the female,
which appeared to have been made for the purpose of con-
cealing large articles.

The male prisoner mid he went with the woman to buy
the dress, and that he had no idea that a robbery was to be
committed,

The jury found him guilty.
The Recorder said he had no doubt that for some time
they had been carrying on their felonious practices, and
that the man was the instigator of the female. He there-
fore sentenced him to five years penal servitude, and the
female to 18 months imprisonment.

STATE OF TRADE.

DUNDEE, April 7.—There was considerable life
in the market to-day, and a fair amount of business
done. A number of sales of fiat are reported, at an
advance of 10s. a ton on previous prices for medium
to fine qualities, but common remains unchanged
in value. Fine jute is wanted, and several parcels
have been sold since last report at firm rates. Yarns
of all kinds continue in active request, and the busi-
cess done to-day has generally been a shade above
the last week's prices. Linens are still very sale-
able, but there is not the eagerness to buy which
was lately seen, partly in consequence of the letters
per Australasian reporting a quiet market in New
York, owing to the great fall in the price of gold
there.

LEICESTER, Bth.—There has been very little doing
in the hosiery trade, chiefly on account of the Easter
holydays, which have interfered with business
generally. In the rural districts a great deal of
dullness exists, and the operatives are suffering for
want of employment. The wool market is quiet,
and prices remain without material change. Yarns
are selling at recent quotations, with a firm market,
productions being limited to the demand.
NOTTINGHAM, B:h.—The lace trade is very dull,
and the bubiness at the warehouses has ttis week
been interrupted by the holidays. Very little is
doing in plain goods, and the fancy branch is equally
dull. There have been very few buyers in the market,
and operations are very limited. There is an im-
provement in the demand for bilk goods, and future
prospects are encouraging. In the meantime manu-
facturers are producing to order, and all unneces-
sary stocks are kept down. The hosiery trade is
without any improvement. Very little is doing for
shipping, and the home trade is extremely dull.
Yarns firm, and high in price.
SWANSEA, 7 th.—The trade of this district is in a
fairly active state, and preparations are now being
made with the view of extending several works and
erecting new ones, which will be the means of ma-
terially increasing the local trade. The copper works
of the neighbourhood are in regular employ. A new
company is about to erect large copper smelting
works on the Cramlyn burrows, and two other
works are in contemplation. The Patent Fuel works
will soon be in active operation, and will afford em-
ployment to a number of hands. There is a good
demand for coal, and the Vale of Neath Company
show every disposition to foster the trade by pro.
viding proper shipping facilities.

the present, however, toy intrusion of private feel-
ings or payty spirit will be highly censurable, and
it is earnestly' to be trusted that when the question
comes before the House in June or July it will
meet with a reception and be treated in a spirit
commensurate with its importance and analogous to
its interest. The mighty issue at stake concerns
the welfare of so many, and with the best endea-
vours so little can be done, that it is highly
essential that those who have the power should
do their utmost as speedily as pos-
sible. Those who convened this meeting and
those who obeyed the summons appear to have
done their utmost, by careful analysis of the com-
plicated subject before them, by diligent research
and by praiseworthy zeal to bring the case before
the public in its most important bearings. If their
advice is taken and their energetic efforts are at all
responded to in the spirit in which they were made,
the result cannot be otherwise than satisfactory.
In the meanwhile they may await the issue of their
undertaking with the consolatory reflection that ,
they have done their best in a cause that cannot be
too earnest:y supported.

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS

This Company has purchased a long leasehold in the Hay-
market, whereon a theatre will be erected, embracing all the
advantages and improvements to which the people of London
are entitled ; including wide entra'ces, roomy seats, unob-
structed passages, and good ventilation.
This Company has also aceptired the long leasehold of
nearly an acre of land on the corner of Westminster-bridge,
with frontage on the bridge, in the Westminster-bridge-road,
and also on the river, facing the Houses of Parliament ; in-
cluding the Westminster Theatre, its whole stock of scenery,
wardrobe, property, and machineries. On a portion of this
ground will be erected, among other 1 uildings, a large paint-
ing-room, machinery works, and property manufactory, to
serve b th theatres,
The Directors have received an offer from Mr. Boncicanit
to lease the whole at a rent which will pay the shareholders
10 per cent. on the capital subscribed.
The satisfactory features of this enterprise are these :—lt
is based on valuable and substantial property, which, in its
pm sent unimproved state is rented for £l,lOO a year ; a value
which, if the property is left undisturbed, will be greatly en-
hanced by the new southern embankment, which comes on
its principal frontage. And secondly, from the moment of
thy• formation the Company comes into the posse. sion of a
part of the project in full operation earning a dividend.
A large number of the shares have teen privately sub-
scribed for.
Prospectuses may be obtained of, and applicat'ons for
shares may be made to, the Solicitors ofthe Company ; to the
Brokers ; to the Secretary at the offices of the Company ; or
at the Theatre Royal, Westminster.

the present, however, any intrusion of private feel-

ings or party spirit will be highly censurable, and
it is earnestly to be trusted that when the question
comes before the House in June or July it will
meet with a reception and be treated in a spirit
commensurate with its importance and analogous to
its interest. The mighty issue at stake concerns
the welfare of so many, and with the best endea-
vours so little can be done, that it is highly
essential that those who have the power should
do their utmost as speedily as pos-
sible. Those who convened this meeting and
those who obeyed the summons appear to have
done their utmost, by careful analysis of the com-
plicated subject before them, by diligent research
and by praiseworthy zeal to bring the case before
the public in its most important bearings. If their
advice is taken and their energetic efforts are at all
responded to in the spirit in which they were made,
the result cannot be otherwise than satisfactory.
In the meanwhile they may await the issue of their
undertaking with the consolatory reflection that
they have done their best in a cause that cannot be
too earnestly supported.

tinually outwitted by their Confederate opponents,

the Alabama. Some short time since four men,
quartermasters of the Great Eastern, and who had
been gunners in the Royal Navy, left the " big
ship," and joined a vessel —the Japan—fitting out at
Greenock for "China and other Eastern ports."
More recently these quartermasters came to Liver-
pool and shipped about 100 men at the Sailors'
Home, paying each the customary advance. Some
of the men soon got intoxicated, and next day,
thinking none the better for their bargain, and hav-
ing learnt some secrets from an indiscreet quarter-
master, they paid a visit to Mr. Dudley, the Ame-
rican Consul, and told him that they had been ship-
ped for service on board the Japan, a vessel fitted
out to " bum, sink, and destroy all Federal vessels
she met with." Mr. Dudley at once telegraphed to
Mr. Adams. Mr. Adams promptly called upon Earl
Russell ; and the Foreign Secretary, anxious to dis-
play his impartiality, telegraphed to Mr. S. Price
Edwards, the collec.or of the customs, to stop the
Japan. Mr. Dudley having promised to send up the
sworn depositions of the sailors by the next post.
Mr. Edwards at once looked into the bill of entry,
but nothing could be seen of the Japan there, so
thinking that she might soon enter the river, he
ordered four revenue gigs to cruise up and down to
stop her as soon as she made her appearance. No
Japan, however, turned up, and Mr. Edwards than
telegraphed to Eatl Russell that he must have beck
misinformed. On further investigation into the mat-
ter it was discovered that Mr. Dudley had forgotten
to state that the Japan was at Greenock. However
when this became known, the Government orders
were telegraphed to Greenock, but, alas for Federal
hopes, the Japan, rechristened the Virginia, had
sailed for an unknown destination, and soon she
will, doubtless, prove herself a worthy sister ship to
the Alabama, Florida, and Oreto. It is to be hoped
that the next time Mr. Consul Dudley uses the
telegraph he will not stint using the funds at his
disposal in paying for messages which will explain
fully all he has to tell.
