The BLACK CLOUD.

Anothercloud in the distance is the 500,000 darks
that Jeff Davis is to arm and send Norlh. This is
considered a very good joke by many persons.
Newspapers that diem it true piously quote the
sentence, " Whom God wishes to destroy he first
makes mad." There will he too much method in
arming even 100,000 slaves. Under masters that
they dread they will become powerful soldiers ;
incited by the prospect of a reward of land they
will become giants. The negro slave will be-
lieve his master. When he has in former
years said he would give him a potato patch,
or anything else, he has done it. The negro
will believe that he will faithfully keep his word in
the new promise, and he will make a soldier—and
one to be dreaded by the Northern army. I see
trouble ahead, with a negro army of slaves fighting
for the rebels. Doubtless they will eventually fight
for themselves against their white masters in the
South ; but that may be twenty years hence. There
will be bloody work if the Southern slaves are
armed and pushed into this war. It is a dark
cloud in the distance.

The tide has evidently changed, and the rebel-
lion may have a run of luck for some weeks.
General Rosecranz seems to have subsided.
There is doubt about his having taken Chattanooga.
General Banks at New Orleans is being destroyed
by yellow fever. There is also a cloud in that
quarter.

ADELPHI THEATRE,

Mr. Toole, having taken his departure from Lon-
don on a short starring expedition, a Mr. A. Wood,
of the Bath and Bristol theatres, last night made
his bow before a metropolitan audience in the part
of Tom Twigg, in the well-known farce, " Catching
an Heiress." It would be hardly fair to express a
decided opinion on the merits of this gentleman as
a low comedian on the present occasion, because,
added to the embarrassment invariably created by a
first appearance, the fact of coming after Toole
must, in a great degree, have had a depressing
effect on his spirits. However, notwithstand-
ing the difficulty of the position of Mr. Wood,
if he did not take his audience by storm, he at
least made a very favourable impression. In the
farce he sang the celebrated comic song "The S tatty
Fair" in capital style, and gave a number of excel-
lent imitations in such a manner as to elicit an
encore. Having accomplished the first part of his
task, his second was very much more difficult,
namely, the embodiment of the character of Tet-
terby, in the " Haunted Man," in which Mr. Toole
has created such a deep impression. Here the re-
straint of Mr. Wood began to wear off, and although
it cannot be said he seemed quite at his ease, he
acquitted himself very satisfactorily. We shall
take another opportunity of expressing our opinion
upon Mr. Wood's merits as au actor, contenting
ourselves for the present by observing that if he
did not evoke the laughter of the entire audience
by his wit and humour, he never once offended by
the exhibition of over-famiiiaiity and coarseness.
Mrs. Stirling is still the great attraction at the
Adelphi, and long may she continue so, for assuredly
she is one of the greatest and most finished actresses
on the London stage. Last night she played Ann
Bracegitdle in " The Tragedy Queen," and Mrs.
Sawderley in the " Hen and Chickens," in her own
unapproachable manner, which elicited the un-
bounded applause of a very well filled house.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4 (Evening).
Federal advices from Charleston to the 31st ult.
state that the monitors moved up on the 31st abreast
of Moultrie and attacked that fort. Forts Moultrie,
Gregg, and Wagner, and Sullivan's Island Battery
replied to the monitors. The latter passed Forts
Sumter and Wagner without opposition. There
were said to be no obstructions in the harbour, and
an impression prevailed that the fleet could pass up
to the city. The Confederate flag was still flying
on Fort Sumter, which the Confederates were en-
deavouring to repair. General Gilmore's approaches
were close to Fort Wagner.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5 (Morning).
News received from Charleston to the Ist inst.
announces that the Federal ironclads had withdrawn
from the attack on Fort Moultrie.

The Confederates had remounted some guns on
the ruins of Fart Sumter, and made other prepara-
tions for defence.
General Gilmore had driven the Confederates
from the rifle pits on the left of his advanced line,
capturing 70 prisoners. He had also run a parallel
against Fort Wagner. No further bombardment of
the city had taken place.

INDIA.

By the arrival of the Overland Mail we have
received Calcutta papers to August 8. There is no
news of particular interest. The _Englishman of the
above date contains the following :
We recently extracted from the :limes of India a
very lengthy detailed account of the capture of the
Nana, and the statements made by those who have
come forward to speak to his identity, the whole far
too long for an overland paper. The same paper
has also the following :
" We are glad to be able to relieve the public of
all further uncertainty concerning the Nana. The
blind Brahmin has become Queen's evidence, and
identified the Nana himself. This information
reached us yesterday from Rajpootana."
Judging from the photographs we have seen, we
should be inclined to think that they have got his
brother, Baba Butt, en older man, and, according
to description, considerably more like the photo-
graph we have seen than the Nana himself. We
are, moreover, rather in a difficulty as to how the
blind Brahmin could identify the arch rebel, unless
the smell of a living traitor is as powerfully plea-
sant to the Brahmin as that of a dead one was to
Louis XI. Anyhow, it is now generally believed,
even by the Government, that the prisoner is not
the Nana, one of the evidences of this feeling on the
part of the authorities being the fact that the de-
tachment of the 28th sent to Ajmere has been with-
drawn.

It will be observed that three of the Ericsson iron-clads,
the Sangamon, the Lehigh, and the Nantucket, do not
participate in the present attack. As statements have been
going the rounds of the papers about the armour of the
Mew Ironsides at the expense of the New York iron-clads,
it is only proper to say that outside the bow and stern of
that vessel sand-bags are piled as thick as rossible, just as
they were piled in Dupont's attack. And it has been
proved by experiments with the ship that a 10-pound shot
would sink her, either fore or aft, without those sand-
bags. No such thing could be said of the New York iron-
clad s.

BOW-STREET.

FINDING A DIAMOND LOCKET.—Edwin Hill, a Custom-
house officer, residing at 45, Adam-street West, Portman-
square, appeared before Mr. Corrie, charged with unlaw-
fully having in his possession a gold and diamond locket,
value £2O.

The locket is of an oval form, and has on one side a cross
set in diamonds, the spaces between which are filled with
lapel lazuli, and on the other four oval rings in gold, the
blue enamel ground forming also another cross.
Miss Levy, of 13, Broad-court, said the prisoner brought
the locket to her and asked her to purchase it. He said it
contained 76 small and 3 large diamonds. She said she
should not like to buy it without she knew who he was a:: d
whether all was correct or not, and asked him to go with her
to the pawnbroker's to ascertain its value. On getting there
the pawnbroker said it was a diamond locket, but he did
not care about telling the worth of it. A constable happen-
ing to be in the next compartment to that in which the
inquiry was made listened to the conversation, and even-
tually he took Hill to the station-house. He scorned very
much confused when he was questioned as to how he be •
came possessed of it, and he said it b?longed to his wife,
and that it had been given to her before marriage.
Mr. Corrie—He gave an address when he was at the
station—was it a correct one?

Inspector West—Yes, your worship. He also says he
is an officer in the Customs. He had varied his statement
as to how he became possessed of the locket, because at the
station he said he picked it up about two months ago undo:
the colonnade of Her Majesty's Theatre.

Police-constable, 166 F, said from inquiries he had made
he found that he acted as a box-keeper at Her Majesty's
Theatre. When he first questioned him about the locket
he said it belonged to his wife, and on going to his residence
in Adam• street, Mrs. Hill also sail the locket had been
given to her by a gentleman previous to her marriage.
When he returned to the station from making his inquiries
Hill said he found the locket at the place mentioned,
Mr, Corrie—Being a box-keeper in Her Majesty's theatre
it is possible he may have picked it up inside.
Inspector West—Quite so. I have been to two persons
this morning, and they both tell me the locket is worth £2O.
Mr. Corrie—Has any inquiry been made about the pro-
perty at the theatre ? The loss of such an article might
have been mentioned at the time.

Inspector West—We have inquired there, but they
know nothing about it.
Mr. Corrie—There is nothing to trace it by. There is
no mark of any description, and the interior is quite empty.
Inspector West—There is nothing, your worship. The
prisoner told me he picked it up about three or four months
ago.
Mr. Corrie (to Hill)—The circumstances under which
you became possessed of this locket must be strictly in-
quired into. As you gave your right address and can be
easily found, I shall admit you to bail upon your entering
into your own recognizances in the sum of £5O, to appear
here on Saturday week.

Mathews also join in a short time after the open-

By the arrival of the Overland Mail we have
received Calcutta papers to August 8. There is no
news of particular interest. The Englishman of the
above date contains the following :
We recently extracted from the Times of India a
very lengthy detailed account of the capture of the
Nana, and the statements made by those who have
come forward to speak to his identity, the whole far
too long for an overland paper. The same paper
has also the following :
" We are glad to be able to relieve the public of
all further uncertainty concerning the Nana. The
blind Brahmin has become Queen's evidence, and
identified the Nana himself. This information
reached us yesterday from Rajpootana."
Judging from the photographs we have seen, we
should be inclined to think that they have got his
brother, Baba Butt, en &der man, and, according
to description, considerably more like the photo-
graph we have seen than the Nana himself. We
are, moreover, rather in a difficulty as to how the
blind Brahmin could identify the arch rebel, unless
the smell of a living traitor is as powerfully plea-
sant to the Brahmin as that of a dead one was to
Louis XI. Anyhow, it is now generally believed,
even by the Government, that the prisoner is not
the Nana, one of the evidences of this feeling on the
part of the authorities being the fact that the de-
tachment of the 28th sent to Ajmere has been with.
drawn.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

Mr. Montgomery announces his benefit for next
Saturday, which will be the closing night of his
short and spirited legitimate season. After he
leaves, a new wizard will, we believe, take posses-
sion of the house, and give performances in leger-
demain until Mr. Vining commences his winter
campaign at Christmas.

3IA.RLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE LEICESTER-SCLUARE BEGGING NUISANCE.—Mary
Riley, a woman about 30 years of age, John Riley, 9, George
Pooley, 13, Henry Pooley, 9, James Malony, 12, Thomas
Flannagan, 12, Mary Appleton, 12, and Mary Smith, 12,
from Charles-street, Drury-lane, Bent-street, Borough,
and Clare-market, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with
begging in Leicester-square, the woman also being charged
with causing John Riley to beg.

From the evidence of William Gordon, 338 A, it appeared
that about half-past eight the previous evening, as the
visitors were going into the Alhambra Palace, Leicester-
square, he observed all the children--who were without
shoes—running after and begging of them, the woman
Riley all the while sitting in a doorway. After watching
the children for some time, ho heard the woman Riley say
to her son, " Go on Johnny," and then saw the boy follow
a gentleman, who gave him something, and the boy then
returned and gave 'whatever it was to his mother. On
searching the woman ls. 9d. was found in her pocket.
After a long rambling statement from the woman, deli-
vered with the usual whine of her class,

Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was clear the woman was sitting in
the doorway for the purpose of bagging the money she
received from the boy. As for the other poor little things
they probably had rushed out of courts. thinking they could
perhaps get a penny by taking example of the woman and
others. He should commit the woman for 14 days, but
discharge the children. _

The nuisance of children begging in Leicester-square has
of late become very great ; as many as 30 or 40 children of
an evening are to be seen begging at one time in different
parts of the square.

These bankrupts were described as of Mincing-lane,

liabilities on outstanding bills (in the hands of persons
whom the bankrupts do not know), accepted in the name of

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has promised, if his
engagements permit, to lay the first stone of the Wedgwood
Memorial at Burslem, on the 20th October. The Committee
of Council contribute £5OO in aid of the building. The
Potteries district has honoured itself by taking up the fame
of its great benefactor in a thorough way. The recently

to see, only an instalment of gratitude.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4 (Evening).
Federal advices from Charleston to the 31st ult.
state that the monitors moved up on the 31st abreast
of Moultrie and attacked that fort. Forts Moultrie,
Gregg, and Wagner, and Sullivan's Island Battery
replied to the monitors. The latter passed Forts
Sumter and Wagner without opposition. There
were said to be no obstructions in the harbour, and
an impression prevailed that the fleet could pass up
to the city. The Confederate flag was still flying
on Fort Sumter, which the Confederates were en-
deavouring to repair. General Gilmore's approaches
were close to Fort Wagner.
NEW YORK, Sept. 5 (Morning).

News received from Charleston to the Ist inst.
announces that the Federal ironclads had withdrawn
from the attack on Fort Moultrie.

The Confederates had remounted some guns on
the ruins of Fort Sumter, and made other prepara-
tions for defence.
General Gilmore had driven the Confederates
from the rifle pits on the left of his advanced line,
capturing 70 prisoners. He had also run a parallel
against Fort Wagner. No further bombardment of
the city had taken place.

Kinder Garten Educational Employments for

Children. By Jane Mill. Darton and lodge.
The advantages and peculiarities of the system
of the Kinder Garten are beginning to be more
generally discussed among us, and, in consequence,
more highly estimated. The great and lasting
evils resulting from the forced application of young
and tender minds to long hours of dry and Co them)
unintelligible study, have long been insisted on.
by those best qualified to judge, but, in spite
of doctors and moralists, in spite, too, of the
sadder warning of the drooping health and flag-
ging spirits of their children, parents too often
persist in exactions which are really cruel. No
rational person would expect a child of six or
eight years to carry heavy weights or walk long
distances, yet overteaching is quite as senseless,
though more insidious. Why should the brain be less
cared for than the limbs ? Assuredly it is not of
less value, and its influence on the general health is
more powerful and more lasting. The mental r salt
ie generally disappointing—the physical is too often

disastrous. lye trust, the inauguration of the
Kinder Garten system, which is based on the
sound principle of training rather than teach-
ing, witl tend in some degree to mitigate this evil,
for so long as parents expect children of five to be
fluent readers, and at eight or nine to be proficient
pianistes, teachers by the ordinary method are very
awkwardly situated. The Kinder Garten is only
intended for very young children, and is designed as
an introduction to the ordinary method rather
than an opposition to it. It aims at employing those
superfluous energies of children which usually are
only shown in devastation, in construction and in-
genuity. The devices and models made by some
children are really surprising, and those less skilful
are equally interested in learning how a thing is
made by seeing it put together instead of bruken to
pieces. Instruction is conveyed in various forms,
but the games of the children are one of the prin-
cipal means by which they learn order, ingenuity,
and harmony, along with the principles of geome-
try, arithmetic, music, and design. The little work
before us represents many of these games, and thus
affords parents an opportunity of becoming ac-
quainted with some of the leading features of the
system.
