GENTLEMEN AND THE POLICE.—Three gentlemen,
named George White Emley, of 5, West Brixton-road ;
Ulysse Bassetti, Hertford House, Stoke Newington ; and
William Jones, Neasdon Grange, Middlesex, was charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with behaving in a disorderly manner,
and knocking at the doors of several houses in St.
Martin's-court, without lawful excuse. Jones was further
charged with breaking a lamp, the property of Mr. Wilson,
billiard room proprietor, Leicester-square.
The evidence of Costick, 81 C, and other constables, went
to show that about half•past one this morning the de-
fendants and some others were creating a great disturbance
by shouting at the top of their voices in St. Martin's-court,
and also by knocking at the shutters and doors. They
continued this conduct, notwithstanding they were cau-
tioned by the constable, till they got into Leicester-square,
when Jones threw his umbrella at the lamp of Mr. Wilson,
and broke it.

Edward Moggett, billiard marker to Mr. Wilson, said
the damage done to tha lamp amounted to £lO, but Costick
said he thought £5 would cover it, while the defendant
Jones said he was told that 16s. would pay it.
Emley called two witnesses—Mr.Edwd. Drew, of Had in-
gay Villas, Tottenham, insurance broker, and Mr. Edward
Rose Day, of 17. Shaftesbury-crescent, Vauxhall-bridge-
road, coal factor, and they both stated that although there
were several persons going along at the time, and there
was some knocking at shutters and doors, Emley took no
part in it.
Costick said he was quite certain that Emley wasamongst
the persons, and had hold of Bassetti's arm.
Emley said that ho did not even know Bassetti.

The witness Day said that he had been to supper with
Drew, Emley, and Jones at Evan's Supper Rooms, Covent-
garden, and were on their return home at the time, and
were in advance of the other persons who Were knocking at
the shutters.

Bassetti said he knew nothing of the other defendants.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said ho had a doubt about Ewley having
knocked at the shutters, and he should discharge him. He
should fine Bassetti and Jones 20s each, or 11 days, and
Jones would have also to pay 20s for the damage to the
glass (that being the value, as sworn to by a gasfitter), and
a fine of 6d,

Victor Hugo's Social Philosophy.

It is a question which thinkers are continually
striving to settle ; the treatment of the criminal
adjusted, not solely to the moral guilt involved in
the crime, but to his temptations, influences, sur-
roundings, and organisation. Has M. Hugo helped
us out of this difficulty ? Has he reconciled the
crime of necessity (as it is called) with individual
responsibility ? Has he at all aided us in explain-
ing the doctrine of self-preservation with that of
the safety of society ? Has he settled that much-
vexed theory of cerebral formation with man's
amenability to law ? Has he thrown any fresh
light upon the administration of justice? Has he
at all assisted us in realising SLakspere's prayer,
a wise union of mercy with justice? We confess
that he has not. Sadly, too, we confess it; for
while "Les Miserables" is unsatisfactory, and a
failure as a book of philosophy, it is, nevertheless, a
masterly novel. We acknowledge the immense
power and brilliant genius of the romance; but the
weakness of the philosophic theory, and the one-
sidedness of the moral, are lamentable. Every
artist admires the absolutely perfect portrait of Val-
jean; but no sound statesman would guarantee the
cessation of robbery by presenting the thief who
stole our bedsteads with the bed also. We are all
delighted with the generous, merciful Bishop : but
no wise lawgiver would decree that charity to the
culprit should be entirely substituted for law. The
dependence of society upon each of its individual
members, argues that such indulgence, instead of
being right, and an effective preventative of crime,
would be manifest injustice, and productive of evil.
Considering the present state of human nature, we
are sceptical of any good that M. Hugo thinks
would result from the adoption of his social philo-
sophy.—Social Science Beciew, No. just published.

The Attorney-General has appointed Sergeant
Kinglake senior counsel for the Post-office on the

MUNICH, SEPT. 2.
The Archduchess Sophia of Austria, mother of
the Emperor of Austria, has passed through this
city on her way to Carlsruhe and Baden-Baden.
At the latter place her Imperial Highness will
have an interview with the Queen of Prussia.

SPAIN,

MADRID, SEPT. 2.

The Correspondencia Autografa of to-day says
that in the conference at La Granja, General Prim
informed the Queen that the circular of the 20th
ult. had paralysed the labours of the electors. The
Progressistas felt insulted by the motives and con-
ditions imposed upon their meeting. He feared
that their abstinence from voting would be the first
serious consequence. The ministry should either
modify its pretensions or resign. The Progres-
sistas would never place themselves in the position
of revolutionists.

The Queen replied that as a constitutional sove-
reign she could not, in the absence of the Chambers,
entertain a different opinion to that of the Ministry,
whose services had merited the Royal confidence.
Her Majesty hoped that all would be amicably ar-
ranged by
the period of her return to Madrid.

THE POLISH INSURRECTION.

POSEN, AUG. 30.

The following event will prove how far the Prus-
sian Government has gone in repressing the present
stet© of things in Russian Poland. Some time ago
a number of Polish ladies presented a petition to
the principal authority in the province of Posen,
to be permitted to establish hospitals for the
wounded Poles near the Prussian frontier. The

required permission was given from motives of
humanity. It has now, however, been withdrawn,
and the troops confiscate all consignments of beds,
lint, &c., intended for wounded insurgents.
According to information from an authentic
source, the following is the text of the speech ad-
dressed by the Emperor of Russia to the officers of
the last contingent of troops sent into Poland

" Go and serve tllB well; do not betray me, or I
will dismiss you all and promote the soldiers that
you see behind you in your places."
This public insult was offered to the officers in
presence of all the soldiers.

Plaintiff—l never looked on this bill as discount.

A debt collector proved that defendant bad offered £3lOB,

Mr. Owen then called defendant, who said that he had
paid some of the items, and the rest, except a pig, he looked
upon as discount. A former bill had been settled in that
way, and as to the pig plaintiff had had it back.
It was explained that plaintiff had not received the pig
which had been given to the man.
His Honour did not approve of this new method of dis-
counting, and said that if Mr. Aikman was entitled to dis-
count on the ship's meat he should have taken it at the
time. It would not do to set up a former transaction, and
therefore plaintiff would have a verdict fur the unpaid items
with costs.

is to be introduced into Sweden. The object is, the

this matter.

DESTRUCTION OF HERNE'S OAK.—The shattered
trunk of Herne's Oak was blown down on Monday
morning last. A portion of this celebrated tree fell from
the trunk upwards of 20 years ago, and has been carefully
preserved in the royal stores at 'Windsor Castle. Since
then this famous tree has been fenced in with park pales,
and a plate attached to it, upon which is engraved :
There is au old tale goes, that Herne the Hunter,
Sometimes a keeper here in Windsor Forest,
Doth all the winter time, at still midnight,
\Vatic round about an oak.—" Murry Wives of W indsor."
Shakspere when he wrote the " Merry Wives of Wind-
sor" is said to have lodged at the Hope Inn, Frogmore, at
that time known as " The Bottle on the Moore ;" this inn
was about 200 yards distant front the tree. Herne is said
to have been one of the forest keepers in the early part of
the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and having committed some
offence that would have occasioned his dismissal from
office, he formed the desperate resolution to hang himself
upon this tree. Its identity as " Herne's Oak " has been
disputed by many writers, but in a plan of the Castle and
town of Windsor, published at Eton in 1712, the position
of the oak is clearly defined and marked as Falstaff's oak.
The fairies' dell has been partially filled up, but the late
Prince Consort had much of the earth removed, when large
oaks, in an upright position, were discovered at the bottom
of this dell, which, no doubt, will now be put into its ori-
ginal state to perpetuate the scene of Falstaff's distress and
the pranks of the "Merry Wives of Windsor."

RUSSIA.

La France publishes the following respecting the
project of Constitution for Russia, under date of
Moscow, 23d August
According to the proposed plan the part of the Empire
that would enjoy special Constitutions, would be nine in
number, viz. :
" The Gra❑d Duchy of Finland, the Provincial Assembly
of which would be hold at Holsiugfors.

"Baltic-Russia, comprising' the Government of St,
Petersburg, properly called, Esthonia, Livonia, and Cour-
land, the Provincial Assembly of which would have its seat
at St. Petersburg.
"Great Russia, whose Provincial Assembly would meet
at Moscow.

" Little Russia, with a Provincial Assembly at Kiew.
" Southern Russia, with a Provincial Assembly at Odessa.
" Western Russia, with a Provincial Assembly at Wilna.
" The Kingdom of Poland, with a Diet which would be
held at Warsaw.

"Eastern Russia, with a Provincial Assembly at Kazan.
" Finally, Siberia and ths adjacent provinces, with a
Provincial Assembly at Irkoutsk.

" As regards the provinces'of the Caucasian region and
of American Russia, their organisation will be ulteriorly
considered. The particular institutions for Poland will, it
is said, be very extended. Should the Poles decline to send
deputies to the Chamber of the Representatives of the Em-
pire, their scruples would be respected, and the special
Government of Poland would function under the sole direc-
tion of the Diet of Warsaw, towards which the lieutenant
of the Emperor would fill the constitutional mission of head
of the executive power."

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

Yesterday rumours were in circulation of an alarm•
ing colliery accident at Newcastle-on-Tyne, by
which it was asserted the lives of 200 men end boys
were placed in imminent peril. The report was
correct, so far as the fact of the number of human
beings mentioned having the ordinary channel of
exit from the mine closed to them ; but at no period
of the occurrence were any lives in danger, and we
arc now in a position to announce the safe arrival
on the surface of all the persons who were in the
mine at the time of the accident.
The facts aro as follows :—At one o'clock in the
afternoon of Monday, a flat wire winding rope
broke as some tubs of coal were being raised from
the Barradon Colliery, some seven miles from New-
castle ; the sudden breakage of the rope caused one
end of it to fall down the pit, whilst the
other end flew upwards with great force, tear-
ing away the roof and a portion of the framework
of the engine•house, to the great danger of the
brakesman, Moses Stewart. The men and boys of
the pit having become aware that something had
gone wrong, at once assembled at the bottom of the
shaft, where, in consequence of the accident, there
were no immediate means of bringing them to the
surface. They were not, however, in the least de-
gree liable to be made the victims of a catastrophe
similar to that which befel the unfortunate men and
hoys who were so completely shut up in the Hartley
Colliery some eighteen rronths ago. The Barradon
Colliery has not only two shafts, but is also
in connection with the workings of the Seg.
hill Colliery, so that even had one of the shafts been
blocked up there would have been ample means of
exit for the men. As it happened, the second shaft
of the colliery was undergoing some repairs, and
was not in a fit state for immediate use. The work-
ings of the Seghill Colliery were still, however,
available, and in this direction the men and boys in
the pit wero led by the backoverman, Mr. Weather-
ley. Mr. Kellet, the resident viewer at the colliery,
had proceeded in the same direction as soon as he
heard of the accident, and made arrangements for
getting the men to the surface through the Seghill
shaft. Parties of men at once commenced ascend-
ing, and by five o'clock in the afternoon the entire
body had been taken from the workings without the
slightest injury to life or limb, The usual exag-
gerated reports got into circulation on the first
news of the accident, and for a considerable time
the greatest a'arm and agitation prevailed in New-
castle, where it was believed a heavy loss of life had
taken place. Happily, however, such was not the
case, and from the first the rescue of the men and
boys in the pit resolved itself into a mere question
of time. On the breaking of the wire rope four
tubs laden with coal fell down the shaft, but it is
not thought that they could have done any material
damage to the bratticing, or sides of the shaft. An
inspection, however, will decide this point.

At the latter place her Imperial Highness will

SPAIN,

MADRID, SEPT. 2.

The Correspondencia Autografa of to-day says
that in the conference at La Granja, General Prim
informed the Queen that the circular of the 20th
nit. had
Paralysed the, labours of the electors. The
Progressistas felt insulted by the motives and con-
ditions imposed upon their meeting. He feared
that their abstinence from voting would be the first
serious consequence. The ministry should either
modify it& pretensions or resign. The Progres-
sistas would never place themselves in the position
of revolutionists.

The Queen repliel that as a constitutional sove-
reign she could not, in the absence of the Chambers,
entertain a different opinion to that of the Ministry,
whose services had Merited the Royal confidence.
Her Majesty hoped that all would be amicably ar-
ranged by the period of her return to Madrid.

THE POLISH INSURRECTION.

POSEN, AUG. 30.

The following event will prove how far the Prus-
sian Government has gone iu repressing the present
state of things in Russian Poland. Some time ago
a number of Polish ladies presented a petition to
the principal authority in the province of Posen,
to be permitted to establish
hospitals for the
wounded Poles near the Prussian frontier. The

required permission was given from motives of
humanity. It has now, however, been withdrawn,
and the troops confiscate all consignments of beds,
lint, &c., intended for wounded insurgents.
According to information from an authentic
source, the following is the text of the speech ad-
dressed by the Emperor of Russia to the officers of
the last contingent of troops sent into Poland
Go and serve me well ; do not betray me, or I
will dismiss you all and promute the soldiers that
you see behind you in your places."
This public insult was offered to the officers in
presence of all the soldiers.

Advices from Stockholm announce that the

DESTRUCTION OF HERNE'S OAK.—The shattered
trunk of Herne's Oak was blown down on Monday
morning last. A portion of this celebrated tree fell from
the trunk upwards of 20 years ago, and has been carefully
preserved in the royal stores at -Windsor Castle. Since
then this famous tree has been fenced in with park pales,
and a plate attached to it, upon which is engraved :
There is an old tale goes, that Herne the Hunter,
Sometimes a keeper here in 'Windsor Forest,
Both all the winter time, at still midnight,
Wahz round about an oak.—" Merry Wives of Windsor."
Shakspere when he wrote the " Merry Wives of Wind-
sor" is said to have lodged at the Ilope Inn, Frogmore, at
that time known as "The Bottle on the Moore;" this inn
was about 200 yards distant from the tree. Herne is said
to have been one of the forest keepers in the early part of
the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and having committed some
offence that would have occasioned his dismissal from
office, he formed the desperate resolution to hang himself
upon this tree. Its identity as " Herne's Oak " has been
disputed by many writers, but in a plan of the Castle and
town of Windsor, published at Eton in 1742, the position
of the oak is clearly defined and marked as Falstaff's oak.
The fairies' dell has been partially filled up, but the late
Prince Consort had much of the earth removed, when large
oaks, in an upright position, were discovered at the bottom
of this dell, which, no doubt, will now be put into, its ori-
ginal state to perpetuate the scene of Falstaff's distress and
the pranks of the "Merry Wives of Windsor."

Victor Hugo's Social Philosophy.

It is a question which thinkers are continually
striving to settle; the treatment of the criminal
adjusted, not solely to the moral guilt involved in
the crime, but to his temptations, influences, sur-
roundings, and organisation. Has M. Hugo helped
us out of this difficulty ? Has he reconciled the
crime of necessity (as it is called) with individual
responsibility ? Has ho at all aided us in explain-
ing the doctrine of self-preservation with that of
the safety of society ? Has he settled that much-
vexed theory of cerebral formation with man's
amenability to law ? Has he thrown any fresh
light upon the administration of justice? Has he
at all assisted us in realising St.akspere's prayer,
a wise union of mercy with justice ? We confess
that he has not. Sadly, too, we confess it; for
while "Les Miserables" is unsatisfactory, and a
failure as a book of philosophy, it is, nevertheless, a
masterly novel. We acknowledge the immense
power and brilliant genius of the romance; but the
weakness of the philosophic theory, and the one-
sidedness of the moral, are lamentable. Every
artist admires the absolutely perfect portrait of Val-
jean; but no sound statesman would guarantee the
cessation of robbery by presenting the thief who
stole our bedsteads with the bed also. We are all
delighted with the generous, merciful Bishop : but
no wise lawgiver would decree that charity to the
culprit should be entirely substituted for Jaw. The
dependence of society upon each of its individual
members, argues that such indulgence, instead of
being right, and an effective preventative of crime,
would be manifest injustice, and productive of evil.
Considering the present state of human nature, we
are sceptical of any good that M. Hugo thinks
would result from the adoption of his social philo.
