Official fadvices received here from Japan state

AN ARTFUL DODGE.

By this time they had reached the railway station, and
Denzil Raikes at once procured his ticket for his j ,urney,
and all three walked on to the platform to await the arrival
of the train that was to convey them.

"You haven't got your ticket yet, have you ?'' said
Denzil Raikea to Mr. Sparke.
"Oh yes, I have. All right I" resp)nded Mr. Sparke.
" By-the-bye," he continued, " will you let me look at
yours

" Certainly I" said Denzil Raikes, producing the bit ol
pasteboard referred to.

Mr, Sparke took it, looked at it, and taking a pencil from
his pocket made a note of its number. He then tore off a
coiner—ju,t a small corner—of the ticket, and handed it
back to Denzil Raikes.

"What is a►l that about ?" inquired Denzil Raikes.
When the train arrived at the station where the tickets
were collected, and before it had actually stopped, Mr.
Sparke opened the door of the carriage, and stepped out on
the platform, and commenced walking up and down whist-
ling a popular air as the ticket collectors collected the tickets
from the different carriages. The collection having been
completed, the bell rang for the starting of the train.

"Are you going on, sir ?" said the ticket collector to Mr,
Sparke, and holding the door of the carriage open.

"00, yes, of courbe," replied Mr. Sparks, advancing to
the carriage to enter.

"Your ticket, if you please, sir," Laid the ticket col-

lector.
"My ticket !" exclaimed Mr. Sparke. " I gave it

you.,,

" I beg your pardon, sir, you have not given your ticket
to me," said the railway official, decisively.
" But I tell you I did," remonstrated Mr. Sparke.
"I can assure you, you did not," said the ticket collec-
tor. "I must have your ticket, sir."
41 Dear me, what a fortunate thing," cried Mr.Sparke, as
though a sudden thought had struck him, "as I came along
in the train I happened to tear off one of the corners of my
ticket, and if you look amongst those that you have got in
your pocket you will find it," said Mr. Sparke, in a tone of
offended virtue.
The ticket collector at once looked at his tickets, and of
course found the ticket with the corner torn off.
"Really, sir," apologized the almost durnbfoundered
official, " I offer you a thousand pardons, sir; I never made
such a mistake betore."

In reference to these very " knowing" individuals,
Mr. Collins justly reminds us that the very men
who take the most pains to appear " knowing"
generally "know" very little! Equally sagacious
Is the remark of Mdlle. D'Arlincourt on the subject
of ancestry—" Wtiy, if there were anything in
ancestry," cried that lady, gaily, " what a degraded
couple Adam and Eve must have been !" Our next
extract gives a tolerably accurate glimpse of

MANSION-HOUSE.

Ellen Dobbin and Matilda Smith were charged, before
the Lord Mayor, with robbing Richard Hewitt, of 15
sovereigns, a bill of exchange for £lO, a number of postage
stamps,and several I 0 U's.

•
City Police-constable, 559, said at 2 o'clock th's morning,
after information of a robbery had been given at the sta-
tion-house, he was sent to search the neighbourhood in
which the robbery was committed. In Church-row, Ald-
gate, he found the seven I 0 U's produced. They were
lying about the street, and near a scaffolding in the same
place he found the purse and some fragments of receipts.
Richard &ripple Hewitt, of 2, Denmark-place, Soho,
said the purse and papers produced belonged to him. They
were safe in his pocket at half-past 12 last night. In the
purse there were 13 sovereigns, a bill of exchange for £lO,
and several postage and receipt stamps. He met one of the
women near Aldgate Church, and after some little hesita-
tion he entered into conversation with her, but feeling some
suspicion he took his purse from his trowsers pocket and
placed it in his left breast pocket. After the prisoner had
bid him good night she ran suddenly away, and he felt for
his purse and found it gone. There was a man standing
near at the time. He told a police-constable of his loss,
and in a short time after the prisoner was taken into cus-
tody in company with the other prisoner. When he first
met the shorter of the two women the tall one was standing
on the opposite side of the street. He was quite positive
of that.

Cross-examined by Mr, Beard.—He had been spending
the evening with a friend at Old Ford. He was per-
fectly sober. He had never on any former occasion charged
persons with robbing him. He never lelt her take the
purse out of his pocket, and his suspicions would never have
been aroused had if not been for the prisoner running away.
Previous to his meeting Dobbin he spoke to another woman,
but his purse was safe in his possession after she quitted
him.

Police-constable 547 said, after he had received notice of
the robbery he saw the two prisoners coming from the
Minories. The prosecutor at once identified the women,
but they denied all knowledge of the robbery. When he
accused Smith of the robbery, she fumbled about her dress,
and, on looking on the ground, he found the cigar-case
(produced). It did not belong to the prosecutor.
The Lord Mayor thought the evidence did not aff,ct
Smith, who was ordered to be discharg4d, Dobbin was
fully committed for trial.

Renan's " Life of Jesus Christ,"

Renan's "Life of Jesus Christ" (says the Roman
correspondent of the Morning Post), although not
allowed to circulate openly in Rome, has neverthe-
less found its way into the Eternal City, and has
attracted the attention of the ecclesiastical authori-
ties, who are anxious to prevent the heretical
effects it might produce by a more extended circula-
tion. The Sacred Congregation of the Index has
condemned and prohibited the work, but the decrees
of the Index have now judicial effect in so compa-
ratively small a portion of the Italian peninsula, that
it is only by spontaneous obedience that Italians
living out of the pale of the Pontifical dominions can
show their adherence to the will of the Holy Inqui-
sition. Such an adherence has just been exhibited
by some of the inhabitants of Bologna, who have
forwarded an address on the subject to the Pope,
accompanied by a pecuniary offering amounting to
the price of 100 copies of Ronan's books. The
addrfss commences as follows :
" Most Blessed Father !—An impious voice was recently
raised on the banks of the Seine, blaspheming Him who,
son of the Eternal Father, put on our flesh to redeem the
world, and daring to deny, in the face of all Europe, as-
tounded at such impudence, the divinity of our Saviour
Jesus Christ. Men, whom we know not whether to call
impious or wretched, have repeated this sacrilegious cry
with the sweet sound of that tongue with which Dante
sung the triple kingdom of the Gud•man, and Torqueto
Tasso narrated the victories of the Crusaders, who liberated
at the price of their blood those holy places which were the,
theatre and witnesses of those prodigies wrought by the Son
of God."

It is expected that similar demonstrations will
be made by other cities, as has been the case with
he clergy and other ecclesiastical adherews
turoughout Italy, in protesting against Father Pas-
se?, lia's doctrine.
London, England, 1863-10-16

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE RESULT OF READING THE ADVENTURES OF
CRIMINALS.—Henry John Wright, a respectable looking
lad, in the employ of Mr. Haywood, jeweller, of Regent-
street, charged with robbing his employer, was brought
before Mr. Knox for final examination.

The prisoner was in the employ of Mr. Hayward, and
was entrusted with rings and other articles of the value of
about £2O to deliver at different places, but instead of doing
this he absconded with the property.

Mr. Rayner, of Thames-street, Windsor, pawnbroker,
produced two rings, one of which the prisoner had pledged
and the other sold at his shop.

Mr. Harrison, of Aldersgate-street, pawnbroker, gave up
a pair of earrings pledged by the prisoner.
The prisoner was taken into custody by Sergeant Cole
of tha C division, who found in the prisoner's possession
several numbers of the following books :—" Blueskin,"
" Black Bess, or the knight of the Road," "Colonel Jack
or the Life of an Highwayman," "Black Wolf, or the Buy
Highwayman." _ _ _

.. .
Mr. Hayward asked that he prisoner might be dealt
summarily with.

Mr. Knox said it was a robbery at a jeweller's, and he
could not do ao. Committed for trial.

ROBBERY AND REMORSE.—George Hall, a young man,
formerly in the employ of Mr. Arthur Crocker, licensed
victualler, of 31, New Compton-street, was charged with
stealing £lO, belonging to his employer.
From the evidence of Mr. el.-miler it appeared that on the
26th September he entrusted the prisoner, who was then in
his employ, with £lO in gold to get changed for silver.
The prisoner absconded with the money, and he (Crocker)
saw no more of him till yesterday evening, when he was in
custody. _

John Cornell, 109 C, deposed that about six o'clock yes-
terday evening the prisoner came to the station and asked
him if they had received any information of £lO having
been stolen by a potman in New Compton-street. He asked
the prisoner why he wanted to know, and showed him in
to the inspector ; and on the inspector asking the prisoner
why he wanted to know, he said, " I am the man."
_ _ _

. .
Mr. Knox asked the constable whether anything was
know of the prisoner?

Cornell said he believed he had been convicted,
Mr. Knox, the prisoner having no questions to ask, com-
mitted him for trial.

MADEMOISELLE D'ARLINCOURT.

In a few moments more the door of the room opened,
and the lady who had just descended from her horse ap-
peared. She was all that the walking gentleman had
described her. She was of commanding and majestic
appearance. Over her shoulders flawed a mass of jet black
tresses, which reached down to her waist. Her face was
dark, glowing, and handsome to perfection. Every feature
was beautiful in itself, and harmonized with each other,
while the eye which lit up the countenance was striking iv
many characteristics. Dark and lustrous, it seemed to float
in softness. But though there was softness in repose, there
could be but little douot, from the general expression of the
countenance, that anger or kindred passions could easily
generate sparks of firs therein.

She wore the cavalier hat, that most charming of head-
dresses for ladies, adorned with a thick black feather. Her
dress at the moment of which we are writing is, of course,
the riding-habit, the skirts of which she gracefully carries
over her arm, with her riding-whip in her hand. The
body of her riding-habit, we should say, is not of the same
colour as the other part, as it is crimson, while that of the
skirt is dark green. Altogether, as she enters the room,
she has indeed a most distinguished appearance, and we
are not surprised that the two walking gentlemen should
have been so enthusiastic in their description of her.

o r a very different character is the following scene,
in which some of the principal personages of the
story are closely involved :

I CONSULTATION.

"I like your caution, Jonas. You are as knowing aft
ever; but I have provided, or intend to provide, for that,
and I think we shall be able effectually to throw the know-
ing ones off the scent."
"Indeed, my lord—how ?" inquiried Jonas Nixon.
" Why, the colt will be entered in the name of Mr.
Sheraton," said the earl.
"In my name, my lord !" exclaimed Mr. Sheraton, in a
tone of surprise.
The earl smiled and nodded significantly •at Mr. Shera-
ton, who was shrewd enough to see that he had better be a
tacit listener for the present.
"Good," said Jonas Nixon, after a moment's thought ;
"and will your lordship take a bit of advice from me ?"
"Most undoubtedly, Jonas—who so well able in such a
case to give it ?" said the earl, gaily.

"Then, my lord, don't give the colt a name; let him be
nameless for a twelvemonth," said Jonas Nixon.

" What will be gained by that ?" inquired the earl.
" That will be sure to throw them off the scent," said
Jonas Nixon. " I shall have, as your lordship knows, a
considerable string in my stable, and there will be some good
ones amongst them, I can assute you. The public don't
care to look beyond them here" (and he pointed with his
stick over his shoulder towards the park), " especially as
there are the two Munchausen colts of your lordship's
in my stable. Give one of them a name, and he shall soon
become a favourite—trust to me."

" Jonas, you are a model of stable diplomacy," said the
earl laughing.

We are sorry to say, in the course of our wan-
derings, we get into rather doubtful company, and
make acquaintance with some of whose fellowship
we have nu reason to be proud. Of these is Mr.
Sparke, whose abilities are 'fittingly exempli-
fied by

Retian's "Life of Jesus Christ!'

Renan's "Life of Jesus Christ" (says the Roman
correspondent of the Morning Post), although not
allowed to circulate openly in Rome, has neverthe-
less found its way into the Eternal City, and has
attracted the attention of the ecclesiastical authori-
ties, who are anxious to prevent the heretical
effects it might produce by a more extended circula-
tion. The Sacred Congregation of the Index has
condemned and prohibited the work, but the decrees
of the Index have now judicia: effect in so compa-
ratively small a portion of the Italian peninsula, that
it is only by spontaneous obedience that Italians
living out of the pale of the Pontifical dominions can
show their adherence to the will of the Holy Inqui
sition. Such an adherence has just been exhibited
by some of the inhabitants of Bologna, who have
forwarded an address on the subject to the Pope,
accompanied by a pecuniary offering amounting to
the price of 100 copies of Re nail's books. The
address commences as follows: --

" Most Blessed Father !—An impious voice was recently
raised on the banks of the Sane, blaspheming Inn who,
son of the Eternal Father, put on our flesh to redeem the
world, and daring to deny, in the face of all Europe, as-
tounded at such impudence, the divinity of our Saviour
Jesus Christ. Men, whom we know not whether to call
impious or wretched, have repeated this sacrilegious cry
with the sweet sound of that tongue with which Dante
sung the triple kingdom of the God•man, and Torquato
Tasso narrated the victories of the Crusaders, who liberated
at the price of their blood those holy places which were the
theatre and witnesses of those prodigies wrought by the Son
of God."

It is expected that similar demonstrations will
be made by other cities, as has been the case with
the clergy and other ecclesiastical adherents
throughout Italy, in protesting against Father Pas-
saglia's doctrine.

" What is all that about ?" inquired Denzil Mikes.

When the train arrived at the station where the tickets
were collected, and before it had actually stopped, Mr.
Sparke opened the door of the carriage, and stepped out on
the platform, and commenced walking up and down whist-
ling a popular air as the ticket collectors collected the tickets
from the different carriages. The collection having been
completed, the bell rang for the starting of the train.
"Are you going on, sir ?" said the ticket collector to Mr.
Sparke, and holding the door of the carriage open.

"Oh, yes, of course," replied Mr. Sparke, advancing to
the carriage to enter.

"Your ticket, it you please, sir," mid the ticket col-

lector.

"My ticket I" exclaimed Mr. Sparke. " I gave it
you.,, -

" i beg your pardon, sir, yon have not given your ticket
o me," said the railway uffieial, decisively,

" But I tell you I did," remorstrated Mr. Sparke.
"I can assure you, you did not," said the ticket collec-
tor. "I wust have your ticket, sir."

" Dear me, what a tortunate thing," cried Mr.Sparke, as
though a sudden thought had struck him, " as I came slow;
in the train I hftppened to tear off one ot the corners ot toy

ticket, and if you look amongst those that you hav e got in
your pocket you will find it," said Mr. Sparke, in a tone of
offended virtue.

The ticket collector at once looked at his tickers, and of
course found the ticket with the corner torn off.

"Really, sir," apologized the almost durnbfoundered
official, " I offer you a thousand pardons, sir; I never made
such a mistake before."

In reference to these very " knowing" individuals,
Mr. Collins justly reminds us that the very men
who take the most pains to appear " knowing"
generally "know" very little! Equally sagacious
is the remark of Mdlle. D'Ariincourt on the subject
of ancestry—" Why, if there were anything in
ancestry," cried that lady, gaily, " what a degraded
couple Adam and Eve must have been !" Our next
extract gives a tolerably accurate glimpse of

[REITTER'S TELEGRAMS.]

AMERICA.
ARRIVAL OF THE BAVARIA.

SOUTHANIPON, Ocr. 16.

The Hamburg and American Company's steam-
ship Bavaria has arrived here. She brings 67 pas-
sengers, 800 tons of cargo, and 54,940 dols. for
England, 95,100 dols. for France, and 1,000 dols.
Hamburg.

On the 7th the Bavaria spoke the British ship
City of Ottawa from Plymouth for Quebec. She
left New York on the 31, called at Cape Rice, and
received New York telegrams to the evening of the
6th, which confirm the news of considerable skir-
mishing having taken place in rear of Rosencranz's
force; of the Confederate attempts to interrupt the
communication between Nashville and Chattanooga ;
of Bragg's fortifying Missionary Ridge ; of Burn-
side's retiring to Cumberland Gap ; and of the
reported occupation of Knoxville by the Confe-
derates.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
TRIESTE, OCT. 16.
News received here from Constantinople states
that the Russian Minister in that city had declared
to the Porte that any recognition of the Poles as
belligerents by Turkey would be considered by
Russia as a declaration of war between the two
Powers.

The news that the Russians are constructing 12
gunboats in the Black Sea is confirmed.

According to advices received here from Athens,
no change had taken place in the Greek Ministry,
The Royal Palace had been prepared for the
future residence of King George.

MANSION-ROUSE.

Ellen Dobbin and Matilda Smith were charged, before
the Lord Mayor, with robbing Richard Howitt, of 15
sovereigns, a bill of exchange for £lO, a number of postage
stamps,and several I 0 U's.
City Police-constable, 559, said at 2 o'clock this morning,
after information of a robbery had been given at the sta-
tion-house, he was sent to search the neighbourhood in
which the robbery was committed. In Church-row, Ald-
gate, ho found the seven I 0 U's produced. They were
lying about the street, and near a scaffolding in the same
place he found the purse and some fragments of receipts.
Richard Scripple Howitt, of 2, Denmark-place, Soho,
said tho purse and papers produced belonged to him. They
were safe in his pocket at nalf-past 12 last night. In the
purse there were 13 sovereigns, a bill of exchange for £lO,
and several postage and receipt stamps. He met one of the
women near Aldgate Church, and after some little hesita-
tion he entered into conversation with her, but feeling some
suspicion he took his purse from his trowsers pocket and
placed it in his left breast pocket. After the prisoner had
bid him good night she ran suddenly away, and he felt for
his purse and found it gone. There was a man standing
near at the time. He told a police-constable of his loss,
and in a short time after the prisoner was taken into cus-
tody in company with the other prisoner. When he first
met the shorter of the two women the tall one was standing
on the opposite side of the street. He was quite positive
of that.

Cross-examined by Mr. Beard.—He had been spending
the evening with a friend at Old Ford. He was per-
fectly sober. He had never on any former occasion charged
persons with robbing him. He never telt her take the
parse out of his pocket, and his suspicions would neverhave
been aroused had it no been for the prisoner running away.
Previous to his meeting Dobbin he spoke to another woman,
but his purse was safe in his possession after she quitted
him.

Police-constable 547 said, after he had received notice of
the robbery he saw the two prisoners coming from the
Atinories. The prosecutor at once identified the women,
but they denied all knowledge of the robbery. When he
accused Smith of the robbery, she fumbled about her dress,
and, on looking on the ground, he found the cigar-case
(produced). It did not belong to the prosecutor.
The Lord Mayor thought the evidence did not affzet
Smith, who was ordered to be discharged. Dobbin was
fully committed for trial.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE•

The Indian Royal Mail Company's steamer Prince
Alfred brings Auckland papers to the 11th August,
being a week later than previous advices.
Rain having set in,
superseded, in so far, at least, as any
cmtinuance, military operations have been almost
with every appearance of a
aggressive
movement of the troops is concerned.
The New Zealander thus summarises the news
since the 4th inst.
Since the issue of our regular monthly summary, the
most important military event has been the movement of
General Cameron against the native encampment at Papa-
rata, a piece distant about 15 miles from the Queen's re-
doubt at Pokeno. The offieial account of this affair will be
found underneath.
The experience
kara and at Kohiroa of the value of rifle pits, will probably
which the Maories have gained at Kati-
put that style of defence out of fashion, and may be some
time before they will again venture within reach of the
bayonet in an open fight.
The work of completing our inner line of defence from
Wairoa to Drury end Waiuku has proceeded actively. The
weather has of late been very bad ; the rain heavy and fre-
quent, yet our newly-enrolled Volunteers and Militia have
laboured cheerfully at the work of building the redoubts,
under circumstances of personal discomfort and hardship
which wculd have severely taxed the endurance of regular
troops. Young men inthese corps, wholly unused to manual
labour, have taken their turn at the spade and pick in
trenches where the wet tenacious clay has speedily torn to
pieces the boots in which they started for a week's service
at the front, and some have been obliged to do patrol and
escort duty barefooted, or nearly so, and without greatcoats.
William Thompson has announced in terms the most pre-
cise and savage his determination to take up arms against
us, and to slay and spare not,' armed and' atnarmed alike.
In consequence of a Warning communication addressed by
him to the Ven. Archeacon Brown at Tauronga, the mis-
sionaries and settlers of that district felt that their safety
depended upon flight, and nearly all of them have come up
to Auckland with the Archdeacon.
Rumours of the intention of the natives to make an at-
tack upon the town have been current, and have had the
good effect of producing a greater degree of watchfulness--
but no plan of action in which all might take their part in
case of a surprise appears yet to have been matured by
those to whom the local duties of ' defence' are entrusted.
One thing has, however, become perfectly clear, and that
is, that it will need a larger force than is at present avail-
able to provide for the defence of the settlements, and at
the same time to crush the spirit of violence in Waikato
with the rapidity which is so much to be desired.
An expedition, under the command of the Provincial
Treasurer, was despatched
to the Wairoa and the Thames,

LITERATURE.

Sackville Chase. By C. J. Collins. Three Vole.

Maxwell.

This novel is of the sensational class, and its inci-
dents are indeed of a singularly startling character.
Two " equine heroes," to use the author's expres-
sion, "run through" the pages of the narrative, and
the catastrophe that befalls them in the very climax
of their career is fully as astounding and as unex-
pected as are the vicissitudes which await the
human heroes of this drama. Foremost among
these latter is the Earl of Sackville, the owner of
Sackville Chase—and the secret owner also of one
of the Derby favourites. This nobleman, blest
with a supreme'y virtuous Countess and two noble
sons, is bound to undergo the penalties of c truly
Corsican vendetta, incurred by his misdemeanours
some twenty years before. The winding up of the
story is melodramatic in the extreme : we almost
behold the glare of the foot-lights and expect the
fall of the green curtain ! We must not betray,
however, the secrets of the plot and counterplot,
neither as regards Lord Sackville, and Denzil
Raikes, and Agony Jack, on the one hand, nor their
four-footed companions; Arbitrator and Sackville,
on the other. We must content ourselves with
giving a few specimens of Mr. Collins' very ani-
mated style and very lively deseriptive powers.
Place aux dames ! First and foremost, !et us
introduce the all•attractive, universal fascinator,
who gracefully flits through the chapters, winning
all hearts and turning all heads:—

Official ladvices received here from Japan state
that the Tycoon had succeeded in escaping from the
sort of captivity in which he was held by the
Mikado, and had returned to Yeddo.

According to the same advises the Tycoon dis-
played the most favourable disposition towards
Europeans.
Much was expected from the effects of the chas
tisement which the English squadron had gone to
inflict upon Prince Satsurr a.
