THE CROYDON MURDER.

At the Hull Police-court on Friday, Edward
Schmidt, the foreigner, who was apprehended in
Hull on the previous, Saturday, on suspicion of
being the murder of Mrs. Martha Haliday, in the
Parsonage-house, at Kingawood, near Reigate,
Surrey, on the 10th of June, 1861, was again
brought up for re.examination. The prisoner was
remanded on Monday last for a week for the pur-
pose of communicating with the police authorities
in Surrey respecting the books and papers bearing
the name of Johann Earl Franz, which were found
in the chamber where the unfortunate woman was
murdered, and which a lodging-house keeper, in
Hull, named Johann Pfeiffer, had sworn to as haying

ceeds of the London, Chatham, and Dover stock to
his own uses, nor to use the blank transfers for any
purpose but that of dealing with the London, Chat-
ham, and Dover stock. Neither have I ever autho
risi,d him to use the Pernambuco shares for his own
purposes. I never offered to lend him £1,700, or
any other sum.
Mr. Vivian underwent a long cross-examination,
and several witnesses were examined for the purpose
of showing that the defendant had been authorised
to appropriate the shares to his own use. Mr.
Vivian had some difficulty in remembering the
weaning of a letter he had written to the defendant,
at one time saying that the letters P. R. meant the
Pernambuco shares, and afterwards that they stood
for Paternoster-row.

Ultimately an offer was made by Mr. Pawle to
hand over the whole of the amount received by his
client for the deficient Pernambuco shares, which
Mr. Vivian said he should only be too glad to receive.
Alderman Humphery said, from all he had heard
of the case, that would he the most rational termina-
tion of such a charge under such peculiar circum-
stances.

Mr. Pawle said Mr. Vivian wanted a profit of
£4OO in the transaction, taking the shares at the
value named in the transfers instead of the market
value. _ _ _

Alderman Humphery said a letter of August 22,
which had been read; might be taken two ways—
either to buy shares, and hold them for Mr. Vivian,
or to deal with them on his own = ccount. That being
the case, he thought it would be better if the matter
could be arranged.
The case was then adjourned for a week.

the BIRTH of SHA RSPE ARE, at Stratford-upon-
Avon. The Tercentenary Committee (of which Sir Robert
N. C. Hamilton, Bart., K.C.8.. is Chairman) are now receiv-
ing SUBSCRIPTION• 4, and they may also be paid to the
account of the Tercentenary Committee, at the Stonrbridge

of Shakspeare for their aid and assistance. The Committee
rest their claims upon the ground that Stratford is not only
the birthplace of Shakspeare. but the centre of attraction to
all admirers of the great Poet's works, and that it was his
home, the town he lived, and where he lived and died.

ASE TO THE IMPERIAL SENATE.

In our unceasing solicitude for the prosperity of our
Fatherland, we have sought those means for the develop-
ment of the railway system which should best answer to
the wants of the empire,

With this view the concession of a railway from Moscow
to Sebastopol proposed by Messrs. Dent, Palmer, and Co.,
Messrs. Fruhling and Goschet, Messrs. Anthony Gibbs and
Son, and Messrs. John Hubbard and Co., merchants and
bankers, of London, through their representative, William
Hope, has been examined by the Committee of Ministers,
and sanctioned by us.

By the construction of a line of railway from Moscow to
Sebastopol, the Nicholas Railroad, already uniting our two
capitals, will be prolonged to the best port in the Black Sea,
and thus will be established, throughout the whole extent
of country between the Baltic and Black Sea, an uninter-
rupted and rapid communication, and a sure and constant
outlet for the articles of local production..
In annexing to these presents the said concession we order
that it shall be put in execution.

The Imperial Senate will take the steps necessary to this
effect. ALEXANDER,
Tzarskoe Selo, July 25 (Aug. 6), 1863.

LYNCH LAW IN ST. JAMES'S PARK.—On Thurs-
day night a Frenchman, who had long been
watched, was detected acting in a most disgraceful manner
towards some little girls in the inclosure of St. James's
Park. A mob NA as soon collected, who administered sum-
mary punishment, by beating him with sticks, tearing the
coat from his back, and threatening to throw him into the
water. He Was rescued by some soldiers, who placed him
in a cab, and thus enabled hil73 to escap© from further

mined to change its policy towards Italy it would
be judicious to transfer Sir James Hudson to some
other post, and replace him by some diplomatist not
committed as he is. Sir James Hudson way have
committed some act of insubordination or indiscre-
tion which necessitates his recal. But in either of
these cases—the first if which is hardly pussible,
the removal of Sir James Hudson would be fully
justified, the choice of his successor would remain
a rank job; If it had been necessary to remove
from Turin the man who had represented this coun-
try there through eleven so eventful years, a wor-
thier successor might have been found for him than
Mr. Elliot, VAO will be British envoy at Turin
not by right of his special ability, great expe-
rience, or long services, but by his close relation-
ship to a leading member of a shamelessly corrupt
Administration. The removal may possibly be
justified; the appointment cannot even be excused.

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 animal 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 others to
vend a so-called article, the public are therefore cautioned to
observe that the packets of the Genuine Powder bear the

THE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND.

" The last mail conveyed to Eugland the parti-
culars of the massacre of Lieut. Tragett, Dr. Hope,
and six soldiers of the 57th Regiment, by a party
of the natives of Taranaki, on May 4 Thi
event

was followed by more open warlike demonstrations
on the part of the natives, and within the last few
days intelligence has been received of a short but
bloody conflict between the Queen's troops and the
natives, in which the latter were completely
defeated, with great loss of life. Immediately after
the murder of Lieutenant Hope and his com-
panions, the natives of Taranaki determined to
commence hostilities, and the warlike attitude
.they assumed created great consternation among the
English settlers, most of whom left their homes and
fed to Auckland. The natives procured all the fire-
arms and other weapons of war which they possibly
could, and took up a string position, south of Tata-
raimaka, on the Katikara stream, where they built
three pahs. It is also said that they were rein-
forced by 200 of 300 armed Waikatos, the most
powerful and warlike tribe in the islands. In the
meantime the 57th Regiment was supplemented
by 200 soldiers of the 40th and 50 of the 70th
Regiments, who wero conveyed from Auckland
and Otahuhu by her Majesty's steam sloop
Eclipse. On the 4th of June—exactly a month
after the murder of Lieutenant Hope and pariy
a successful attack was made on the enemy's posi-
tion. Everything had been very properly kept
secret, and nothing was known of any intended
movement until a late hour of the previous night,
when the forces, numbering about 450 men, silently
marched from town, leaving it in care of the militia
and volunteer forces, under Major Mould, R.E.

Eugene Delacroix will not probably retain with posterity
the somewhat exaggerated reputation which he has lat•

Rubens as a colourist. But his inaccurate drawing, his
harsh and ungainly effects, his crude, though decided,
light and shade, his rough and rapid execution, aadrie,niont
likely to win the favour of posterity. He may be said,
short, to have mixed the colour of Rubens with the i)n
pasto of Constable, without the vuluptuousness of the
one
and the freshness of the other. He chose all kinds of sub-
jects; he roamed at will from mythology to Christianity,
from sea pictures to flowers, from history to nature. A:

cclourist. In spite of Delacroix's want of correctness there
is in his pictures a singular warmth, a brilliant light, and
an almost erauatic power : he has been honoured with the
title of the " Victor Hugo of painters."
It now remains to be added that Delacroix received the
second medal in 1824, the first in 1848, and the grand
medal of honour in 1855 ; that he was nominated in 1831
Chevalier of the Legion of Honour; that in 3846 he was
made officer, and in 1855 commander thereof. In January,
1857, he was elected a member of the Institute in the room

The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of
the generous support which they have received from the
