CRIME IN SCOTLAND.—The tables of criminal
offenders in Scotland in 1862 show an increase of
mroarrestohianagle2. per cent, over the committals of 1861. They
were 3,229 in 1861 and 3,630 in 1362 ; 351 were under 16
The number who had a superior education
increased 15 per cent. ; the number who could neither read
nor write increased only 5 per cent , and the class from
which they are drawn is doubtless diminishing. Those who
could road and write imperfectly increased' IS per cent,
Offences against property committed without violence, con-
stituting half the committals, increased 7 per cent.; offences
against property with violence, 19 per cent. ; offences against
the person, above 20 per cent. ; 2,693 persons were found
guilty ; two were sentenced to death, and one of them exe-
cuted ; 224 to penal servitude ; 2,183 were sentenced to im-
prisonment, the majority for teams not exceeding three
months. Of the 2,997 actually tried 741 had previous con-
victions proved against them—a smaller proportion than in
1861.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A GENTLEMAN CHARGED WITH ANNOYING FEMALES
IN THE STREETS.—John James, described as a gentleman,
of No. 9, Lansdowne-terrace, Regent's -park, was chargel
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and disorderly, and
annoying females in Berkeley-square, &c.
_ _ _

Cronin, 215 C, deposed that about 10 o'clock the previous
evening he was in Berkeley-square, and saw the prisoner
put his arm round a female's waist. A man then inter-
fered, and got the prisoner to desist and go away. He
(Cronin) then followed the prisoner, and saw him behave in
a similar manner towards two other females, who seemed
much annoyed, and, after struggling with the prisoner, suc-
ceeded in getting away. He then crossed over and remon-
strated with the prisoner, telling him that if he did not con-
duct himself properly he should take him into, custody. The
prisoner then went on to flay Hill, when, having been him
stop another female, he took him into custody.
The prisoner said he was very sorry, and was drunk at
the time.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said such assaults on females could not be
passed over, and prisoner must pay 205., or be committed
for fourteen days.
FRAUDULENTLY DISPOSING OF PROPERTY.—Ernest
Barranie, described as a merchant, was charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt with "that being the bailee of three rifles, four
pistols, and other property belonging M. Alexandre David
Carit, he did fraudulently convert the same to his own
use."

Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough. street, ap-
peared for the prosecution.
The case was very imperfectly laid before the magistrate,
but it appears that the prosecutor (M. CaHt) is the agent
for a French house, and entrusted the accused with the
property, and that he pledged it improperly.
The accused was remanded for a week.

A FEMALE PICKPOCKET.—Deborah Lingard. a young
woman, who gave a false address, was charged with pick-
ing the pocket of a young Frenchwoman in Regent-street
the previous afternoon.

The prosecutrix had her attention called to the prisoner
by two ladies (whose attendance at the court this day week
will be of essential service in furthering the ends of jus-
tice) who said the prisoner was robbing her, and putting
her hand into her pocket she missed her purse.
The prosecutrix, Louise Bertrand, of 1, Green-terrace,
Clerkenwell, said she did not see the prisoner pick her
pocket, but the ladies did.
Remanded.

The Late Fatal Railway Accident,

CORONER'S INQUEST.-THIS DAY.

Mr. W. Carter, the coroner, opened an inquiry this
morning into the causes connected with the death of Geo.
Salmq,n, an engine-driver in the employ of the London,
Brighton, and South Coast Railway,
Watkins, the guard of the train which met with the acci-
dent, said ,the deceased with himself joined the train at
East Croydon with engine No. 131, for the purpose of
taking it along the loop line to Victoria Station. Nothing
happened until they were between Streatham and Balham
when the explosion occurred, and the next thing
he recollected was seeing the deceased lying on his face
on the bank of the line dreadfully scalded. He was a
very careful man, and was always very attentive to his
business.

The house-surgeon deposed to the deceased being
brought to the hospital suffering from severe in-
juries on the evening the accident occurred. There
never:appeared to be the slightest hope of his surviving.
The stoker who was with the deceased was very rapidly
improving, and perhaps he might be able to give some in-
formation relative to the cause of the fatal accident.

Some further evidenc3 was taken when the investiga-
tion of the matter was adjourned until the 24th inst.

FUNERAL OF THE TWO GUARDSMEN.

This afternoon a great concourse of persons assembled
outside the Guards' Hospital, Rochester-row, Westmin-
ster, for the purpose of witnessing the departure of the
funeral cortege of the two unfortunate soldiers who were
killed on the occasion. Shortly before two the bodies of the
men were conveyed from the hospital in the ordinary kind
of hearse, followed by mourning coaches in which were the
relatives and friends of the deceased. The orderlies of the
hospital also followed, and on the arrival of the melancholy
cavalcade at Brompton Cemetery it was received by the
greater part of the regiment with the usual military
honours, the band playing the "Dead March" in " Saul."
At the conclusion of the prayers the firing party, which
consisted of about 24 men from the company to which the
deceased belonged, advanced, and, having fired a farewell
volley over the graves of their deceased comrades, the
moumers,,troops, and spectators lett the ground.

The report of the medical authorities relative to the other
sufferers at present inmates of the military hospital, is very
satisfactory ; all are progressing as well as could be desired.
Pryme, who received such injuries to his back and ribs,
and whose life was despaired of, is now in a fair way of
recovery.

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
This Company has been duly registered with limited lia-
bility.
Its object is the purchase of a large interest in the cele-
brated lead mines of Monteponi, in the Island of Sardinia,
together with the extensive lead smelting establishment of
Pertusola and the Sarzanello Coal Mine in the Gulf of Spezz.
The purchase-money for these properties (including eleven-
twelfths of the Monteponi Mine), plant, engines, &c , is
£150,000, and it is estimated that £50,000 will be required as
floating capital, so that in fixing the nominal capital at
£150,000, a margin of £50.001 is left to enable the Company to
take advantafre of such opportunities as may present them-
selves of extending their interest in Italian mines.
This undertaking differs essentially in its nature from ordi-
nary mining enterprises. Its capital being invested in the
purchase of mines and works, which are in full operation, and
yielding very large returns.
Full prospectuses with forms of application for shares may
be had at the offices of the Comp ny, No. 6, Queen-street-
place, London, or of the Brokers of the Company, Messrs.
Joshua Hutchinson and Son. No application will be con-
sidered unless a deposit of £1 for each share applied for shall
have been previously made with the Bankers of the Com-
pany. This sum will be returned in full in the event of no
allotment being made.

LYCEUM.

The sustained popularity of the "Duke's Motto" rendered
a change of entertainments at this theatre unnecessary, and
this effective drama, therefore, held its place in Mr. Fech-
ter's bills. Mr. Jordan is the successor of Mr. George
Vining in the character of the Duke, Mr. J. G. Shore now
plays the Regent, and the rest of the cast remains unaltered.

ROME.

The ceremonies of the Holy Week commenced
on the 29th, Palm Sunday, his Holiness taking
part in the function at St. Peter's. The crowds of
foreign spectators were so great that the usual seats
erected for ladies were far from sufficient to ac-
commodate all who presented themselves with
tickets ; it was a case of first come first served, and
some enthusiastic fair ones secured the best places
by presenting themselves at the door of the Basilica
at six o'clock in the morning. In the midst of
the ceremony there arrived her Royal Highness
Donna Isabella Maria, Infante of Portugal, who had
just come by rail from Civita Vecchia, and was con-
veyed with her suite from the station, in the Mar-
shal Du!re of Saldanha's carriages, direct to St.
Peter's in time to witness a good part of the service.
Pio Nono, who was immediately informed of the
arrival of her royal highness, politely welcomed the
Infante by sending her a magnificently plaited
palm-branch.
What battles will ensue between ardent sight-
seers on Thursday to get a near view of his Holi-
ness washing the Apostles' feet ! What straining
to determine the exact quality of the viands sub-
sequently offered by the Pontiff to the Typical
Thirteen ! What faintings in the limited space of
the Sixtine Chapel previous to and during the soft
strains of the soprani of the Papal choir in Baini's
" Miserere !" We may reckon that there are about
5,000 British subjects in Rome at this moment,
and at least as many more continental visitors to
the Eternal City. Nearly all make a point of seeing
the Easter ceremonies: fancy what a squeeze !

Poland excite our grief and indignation. The era
of reforms inaugurated by your Majesty will not
be favourable for the projects formed against the
integrity of the empire. The nobility, united with
all the other classes of society, will not ehrink be-
fore any effort or sacrifice to defend the territory of
the empire."

PRINCESS'S,

The Easter entertainments at this theatre were the new
three-act drama, "Aurora Floyd ;" the first performance
of a comedietta by Mr. Maddison Merton, called "Killing
Time," and "a new and original whimsical extravaganza
founded on the poem of Don Juan,' the ballad of
' Lord Bateman,' and the Legend of Lurline,' entitled
"Beautiful Haidee ; or, The Sea Nymphs and the Sallee
Rovers," written by Mr. H. J. Byron.
"Aurora Floyd" is running a successful course, which
it owes to the excellent manner in which the principal
characters are acted, especially to Miss Amy Sedgwick's
impassioned and yet natural impersonation of the heroine,
and Mr. Belmore's very powerful, but somewhat melo-
dramatic pic' ure of the villain Hargreaves. " Killing Time"
can hardly be called even a comedietta : it is without plot
or incident, and is merely a dramatic scene—a "keen en-
counter'' of wit between a lady and a gentleman, wri ten
with great spirit, and sustained with (goal spirit by Miss
Amy Sedgwick and Mr. George Vining, who has returned
to tat e a share in the management of this theatre. This
sketch was found very amusing, and was received with the
best kind of applause for such a thing—hearty laughter.
Mr. Byron's new extravaganza has good points, but
it is eo very extravagant that it is unintelligible.
We cannot but think that, as there is method even in
madness, so an extravaganza or a burlesque should have
a certain degree of coherence or sequence in its incidents.
This was totally wanting in the present piece, which con-
si4ts of a string of scenes, in which the actors talk the most
unmitigated nonsense, couched in a sort of rhymed j'ngle,
crammed lull of puns, to an excess we have never heard
equalled. There were torrents of puns—every line contained
one and sometimes more ; and their very profusion and the
extravagant badness of them, were certainly, for a time,
provocative of laughter, though the audience evidently grew
weary of so heavy a dose of bad jokes. But the defects of
the piece were in a considerable measure redeemed by its

remarkable splendour and beauty as a spectacle. The scenery
Was exquisite ; one scene in particular, representing the
world beneath the sea, exhibiting the treasures of the deep,
its strange plants and fantastic inhabitants, was one of the
most delicious pictures we have ever seen on the stage. Tne
closing scene, too, called " the floral hall of the Carytides,"
theugh we had not the slightest idea apropos of why it was
introduced, was such a splendid display of light, form, and
colour, that it revived the decaying animation of the audi-
ence, and brought down the curtain with considerable oclat.
The costumes and decorations were rich and tasteful; the
stage was filled with brilliant and picturesque groups ; there
were some elegant dances ; and the music, composed and
arranged by Mr. Hall, the leader of the orchestra, was not
only clever and pretty, but often very amusing, from the
quaintness with which many of the popular morceaux of
the opera► stage were burlesqued and parodied.

CANTERBURY HALL.

The series of halls, including the Fine Arts Gallery, were
well filled last night, and the usual musical and pictorial
treat awaited the audience. Grand se!ections from operas,
with Miss Russell as the prima donna assoluta, alternate
with the laughter-moving harangues of Unsworth (the
great stump orator), and the brilliant burlesque dancing of
Eugene, and eccentric displays of Daley. The novelty of
last night consisted in the first appearance of " Les Freres
Athos," four artists of the physical school, from the Carig-
nan Theatre, Turin, whose feats of acrobatism excited groat
astonishment.

FEDERALS AND CONFEDERATES.
Mr. Henri Drayton, at the Polygraphic Hall, had no
reason to complain of a want of patronage yesterday to hie
highly-interestingpictorial and musical entertaiment upon
the position of the Confederates and Federals of America,
which conveys a great deal of amusement and instruction,
at the same time; and, the more it is heard, the more popu-
lar will it become.

ADELPIII.

The great success of the drama of " Aurora Floyd," and
the wonderful conception of the part of Steve Hargreaves
by Mr. Webster, rendered the production here of an Easter
piece quite unnecessary; but the untiring lessee, ever
anxious to evoke a special laugh for his patrons at holiday
time, gave them a new farce, entitled the " Trial of Tomp-
kins," in which Messrs. Toole and Paul Bedford sustain
the principal parts. The plot is slight, amusing, and
extravagant, and it enables Mr. Toole to show his
talents in light eccentric acting as distinguished from
what is usually called low comedy. Tompkins is a
suitor for the hand of a young lady who possesses £6,000,
and is guarded by a father even more ridiculous then the
ordinary run of parents in farces. The father has drawn
out a list of qualities which he wishes to find in a son-in-
law, " and he "tries" Tompkins in various ways to see if
he possesses these qualities Up to a certain point the un-
fortunate suitor is mystified by the ac, ions of the old gen.
tleman, until he comes across tho list before-mentioned.
His eyes being opened, he humours his expected father-in-
law and becomes super .humanly virtuous, abstinent, and
courageous. His exertions, however, are not awarded
with the hand of the young lady, but he consoles himself
with philosophy and a abort address to the audience. Mr.
Paul Bedford played the plotting father with plenty of ani-
mal spirits, and Mr. Toole exerted himself--as he always
does—energetically„humorously, and succ.ssfully. A very
charming set scene, representing a villa residence and gar-
den, painted by Mr. James, ought not to pass without notice.
London, England, 1863-04-07

OLYMPIC.

The performances at this house last night commenced with
the comedy of "Taming the Truant," in which Mr. Robert
Soutar (from the Brighton Theatre) made his first appear-
ance here, in the small part of Captain Pertinax. The after
piece, Ming the Easter novelty, was an extravaganza en-
titled "Acis and Galatea, or the Nimble Nymph and the
Terrible Troglodyte." Nothing is safe now-a-days from
the ruthlees hands of the burlesque dramatist. The classic
legends of antiquity, the tragedies of Shakespeare, and the
dramas of Byron, have all been seized on as subjects for
word-twisting and j•eke-spinning. Milton, so far as our
recollection serves, remains as yet untouched. Milton and
broad grins I—the combination might be found attractive,
spiced in the modern fashion with nigger dances and
parodies of opera airs. However, as the practice has met
with general acceptance, and Easter brings with it the same
licence for burlesque that Christmas gives for pantomime,
the Olympic version of "Acis and Galatea" is no graver
ffence than has often before been committed ; and the bur-
1, sque adaptor (Mr. F. C. Burnand), if pronounced guilty,
must be recommended to mercy on account of the many bad
examples which he might cue as precedents. The verdict of
the audience was certainly anything but condemnatory, and
to judge by the laughter and applause at the Olympic
Theatre last night, there was no classical scholar who took
any offence at the liberties taken with the charming fable
of "Acis and Galatea." 't here is no occ-eion for detailed
description—it, may be easily imagined how the incidents of
I the legend are intermixed with the most absurd anacluo-
I Iderall—how the rhymed dialogue is duffed full of pima of

WESTMINSTER (A.STLEY'S.)

• -
Mr. Bouoicault re-opened this theatre last night, after
a week's holiday, with the Scotch drama of "Effie
Deane." A few new faces were seen amongst the per-
tormers. Mr. F. Robinson replaces Mr. Swinbourne as
Geordie Robertson; and Mr. Charles Vincent now plays
the Duke of Argyll. The drama was preceded by the farce
of John Jones ;" and the entertainments concluded with
the farce of " Mr. and Mrs. White," in which Mr. Fred.
Li .yd, from fhe Theatre [Opal Manchester, sustained the
principal character.

SU R REY.
Mr. Shepherd, catering for the Easter holiday folks and
for the patrons of his attractive theatre, produced last night
an Easter novelty, entitled " Jessie Ashton ; or. London by
Day and Night." In the production of the piece, the in-
defatigable lessen has bestowed the greatest care, and it
will create surprise if it does not attract for hundreds
of nights to come. The scenery by Mr. Charles Brew,
particularly that of the Thames by moonlight, with
the new Westminster-bridge, the Houses of Parliament, a
few sail, and other dottings, is remarkably imitative, and
elicited rapturous applause from all parts of the house. The
artist was called before the curtain, and received the highly
merited honours to which but artistic genius as a scene
painter entitled him.
Among the new engagements Were Mr. William Searle,
the popular London favourite; Mr. Dacre Baldie, from the
Theatre Royal, Brighton; and Mr. J. H. Fitzpatrick, from
the Theatre Royal, Birmingham ; and the French clowns,
Arthur and Bertrand, who to their Parisian and Adolph
celebrity have already added South London fame.
