THE WEATHER,

The following is the report of Admiral Fitzroy to
the Board of Trade :

" April, 1863.

" Sir,—ln my reports last year to yourself—with those
of 1857 and 1858—information was given respecting all de-
tails of this department. .

" 2. Since April, 1862, continued progress has been made
in the principal subjects, for which this office was origi-
nally instituted in 1854, and a considerable advance has
been effected in the practical application of meteorology to
every-day use.
" 3. The results of such utilisation of facts observed can
scarcely be more clearly and briefly shown than by the two
papers appended to this report, which give statements of
wind and weather following every instance of making our
cautionary signals ; and the opinions of practical men re-
specting fishery barometers lent to them by the Board of
Trade. The statement of weather was drawn up by my
assistant from our office records, and has not been the least
altered. The barometer paper is also printed verbatim
from the original returns.
" 4. Applications of a pressing nature have been made
for the cautionary signals sent from this office, from no less
than 54 of the places on our coasts, which are specified in
the third paper of the appendix; and as some of these have
been preferred but recently they are evidences of deliberate
considera'ion and of the value attached to the fact that by
means of our regular reporting stations (offices of the tele-
graph companies) and the Coastguard, aided by the liberal
organisation effected locally in some districts, all the coasts
of Great Britain and Ireland to which the telegraph ex-
tends, including the Isles of Man, Jersey, and Heligoland,
can now bo warned in less than one hour.

" 5. More than this, however, has already been effected,
and more is in prospect. From France we receive telegrams
twice a day, in the early morning from Rochefort, L' Orient,
and Brest, which reach London as soon as our own from
Ireland or Scotland ; and in the afternoon, through Paris,
from Lisbon, Bayonne, Brest, Helder, and Copenhagen. In
exchange for which we send daily reports to Paris Observa-
tory from seven places ; and to Calais—for the Frenchcoast
specially—at 11 ; besides such occasional warnings as may
be useful to the French north-west coasts, including our
Channel Islands.

"6. How the British notices are appreciated in France
may be shown by the following extracts of letters received
by mysl-lf from two officerslin.the French navy, who have
baen charged with the organisation of a central office at
Paris (similar to this) with corresponding or reporting sta-
tions on the mirth, the west, and the south coasts of
France.

OLD 800N-STALLS,—Already the book-stall has
almost disappeared from the streets of London.
There are, indeed; things with the outward and visible
signs of book-stalls etill to be seen, where the passer-by is
tempted with piles of the "London Directory" for 1856,
with Franks of odd numbers o: the " Quarterly" and " Edin-
burgh," with long rows of reprints of Disraeli and Bul-
wer, and original editions of Captain Mayne Reid and

MIIRDEROTJS ASSAULT 'WITH A HAMMER —Constance
Jeanne, a French womae, living at 19, Upper Rathbone-
place, was charged with the following murderous assault on
Mdme. Hannah Eis 3nm ann, also eliding in the same house.
Mr. Albert interpreted the evidence.
Mime Eisennaann said that, about five o clock that morn-
ing, she heard the prisoner knock at a lodger's door and ask
for the key of the washhouse. Having thekey of the place,
sh, gave it to her husband to give to the prisoner, but before
he could do so the prisoner broke the lock off the wash-
house door. On interfering, and asking the prisoner why
she had done it, she called her a most offensive name, and,
on her expostulating with her for doing so, she struck her
two violent blows on the eye with a hammer.

In answer to Mr. Knox, prosecutrix said she believed
there were only two blows, but she became insensible. The
prisoner also tore her by the hair of her head to the ground,
and then tore her eyes with her nails. She called for assist.
ance, the prisoner ran into her room, and the police came.
A witness proved seeing the prisoner strike the prose-
cutrix, and said the whole arose out of a jealous feeling
on the part of the prisoner, because Madame Eisenmann
h.d discontinued employing the prisoner to wash for her.

Polio—constable Gawley, 123 E, handed the following
certificate to the magistrate:—

" I hereby certify that Ann Eisenmann is a patient of
this institution, suffe,ing from a contused wound at the back
of the head, several abrasions on the face, and a contusion
over the left eyebrow,
" April 23. " G. E. PYLE, House Surgeon."
Mr. Knox said—As it was impossible to tell what might
be the result of the injuries the prosecutrix had received,
he should remand the prisoner for a week, but would take
bail for her appearance in a week.

THE SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A CAI PROPRIETOR
—John Clayard, cab proprietor, of Conway-street Mews,
charged with striking a cabman named Cooper on the head
with a hammer, Cooper having since the injury been in the
Univeisity College Hospital, was again brought up.
The case stands over for another week, the accused being
admitted to b4il on the application of Mr. Edward Lewis,
of Great Marlborough-street, in two sureties of £lOO each,
Mr. Lewis stating that he should have a complete answer
to the charge.

THE ARMY.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, as
Field Marshal Commanding in Chief, held a lev6e
yesterday afternoon at the Horse Guards.
The Adjustant- General, Sir James Yorke Scarlett,
has issued a circular memorandum addressed to
regiments of infanty, with the exception of those in
India, dated the Horse Guards, April 11, of which
the subjoined is a copy :
" In consequence of the difficulty experienced by com-
manding officers in finding good men to fill the situation of
master tailor to their regiments under the recent warrant,
the Secretary of State for War has, on the recommendation
of his Royal Highness the Field Marshal Commanding in
Chief, consented to the instruction is tailoring of a certain
number of men at the Government clothing establiehment
at Pimlico. Commanding officers are accordingly desired to
s',,nd to this department the names of volunteers who may
wish to avail themselves of this privilege, taking care
that
they are industrious men, of good character, tailors by
former trade, and having a capacity and desire for the
business. During the period of instruction a sum of extra
pay not exceeding is. per diem will be allowed, and beyond
the actual expense of proceeding to and from their regi-
ments they will be entitled to no other allowance. Quarters
will be provided for them in the Wellington Barracks, and
they, of course, will be subjected in all respects to military
discipline. As the clothing factory is not calculated to
accommodate above 30 men at one time, in the first instance
men will be selected from regiments serving at home. On
reeeiving a certificate of qualification it will be optional with
the men to volunteer to any corps in want of a master tailor,
or, should they prefer it, they may await in their own regi-
ments a similar appointment."

EXIRAO,•DINARY CHARGE OF CHILD MI7RDER
Margaret Macarthy, a widow about, 33 years of age, who
has b en leading a very irregular lire, was brought before
?Ir. Partridge, charged willa the wilful murder of her ille-
gitimate child

Frederick Lincoln, a po icw constable, N. 291 K, said
that a man came to him last n ght on the Globe-bridge,
Mile end-roan, and informed him that a woman hid just
been down to the banks of the canal with an infant in her
arms and returned without it. The prisoner was pointed
out to h'm as tho person, and he saw her about 12 yards
from the canal and wr lying away from it. He asked her
who she did there, to which she made no reply. He then
asked her what she had done with the child which she waa
carrying a few minutes previously, and she said she had
given it to a woman. He then took her into custody, and
told her the charge against her for making away with her
chill. He looked about the place where he fi st saw the
prisoner, arid at two o'clock this mo•ning found an old bed-
tick lying close to a gas lamp, in the Longfellow road, near
the canal. He had since dragged the canal near where he
took the prisoner, bu' cou•d not find any child.
Inspector Griffin. of the K division, said the prisoner had
been charged several times with deserting her three chil-
dren and leaving them chargeable to the Mile-end Old
Town. He knew she had been once sent to prison
One of her children, an infant, was illegitimate, and the
father of it was a man named Downey, with whom she co-
habited.

The prisoner said that all her children were in the Mile,
end workhouse.

Mr Partridge—That can be very easily ascertained.
Your coL duct last night was very suspicious, and I shall
certainly remand you. Where is the man who first called
the pol ceman's attention to the woman ?

Lincoln—He is a postman, and cannot attend this morn
ing.

Mr. Partridge—He must be here.
The pr toner was then remanded.

DENMARK.
OPENING OF THE RIGSRAAD.
COPENHAGEN, APRIL 22,

The Rigsraad (Legislative Assembly for Den-
mark-Schleswig) was opened in this capital to-day
by the President of the Council reading the Speech
from the Throne.

The Speech adverted to the marriage of her
Royal Highness the Princess Alexandra, and the
marks of attachment and joy which that auspicious
event had called forth among loyal subjects. His
Majesty expected that the Rigsraad would vote
her Royal Highness a dowry.
The Speech next stated that the Royal proclama-
tion from the 30th of March had encountered oppo-
sition from the Great Powers of Germany, but that
the Government of the King would not allow it-
self to be led astray by that circumstance from the
intentions it had expressed. The bills about to be
laid before the Rigsraad concerned D -mark-
Schleswig, and not Holstein, except in cases where
the contrary was distinctly stated.
The Speech further notified that a new Customs
Bill was about to be submitted to the Rigsraad, and
in case of its passing would also be laid before the
Holstein Diet.

PRANCE.
PARIS, APRIL 23

The Moniteu? of this morning says:—

"Some journals style the candidates for the
Legis►ative body put forward by the Opposition
as Independent candidates.
" This designation is an electoral zranceuvre
and an insult to those candidates who enjoy the
sympathies of the country and the confidence of

the Government. The Administration will re-
press manoeuvres of this kind with severity."
The reception of his Majesty yesterday is de-
scribed by the Constitutionnelof this morning as hav-
ing been more than usually cordial both on the part
of the troops and on that of the multitude—the lat-
ter greeting his Majesty both on his way to Long-
champs and on his return to the Tuileries (upon
both occasions on horseback, followed by a brilliant
staff) with reiterated acclamations.
A Berlin correspondent of Le Pays pronounces
es totally without foundation the rumours afloat
during the last few days in reference to a pro-
jected interview between the King of Prussia and
the Autocrat. The correspondent regards, at the
same time, as certain, the fact that Colonel Reuter,
who has recently taken his departure for St. Peters-
burg, is the bearer of an autograph letter from King
William to the Czar.

sist his special pleading, Mr. GLADSTONE will
hereafter regret the day when he numbered the
afflicted poor on GoD'S earth among his taxpayers.
Divine and human laws alike call for their exemp-
tion, but if he triumphs in his wish that when the
muster roll is cited they must obey its mandates,
and cast their offerings at his feet, he may yet have
cause to exclaim with PYRRHUS, " One more such
victory and I shall be undone."

LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1863.

It is a very doubtful policy, indeed, on the part
of Lord PALMERSTON, as it appears to us—his
attempting just now to conciliate those half-
estranged ultra-Liberals below the gangway, by
inducing, perhaps, the most rising man amongst
them all to stultify himself by the acceptance of a
junior lordship of the Admiralty. One reasonable

proepect of anything like even a moderate and
pArtial referrn, would be better than the induction
of half-a-dozen Mr. STANSFELDS into subordinate

posts at as many governmental departments. The
arrangement, or we aro much mistaken, will neither
strengthen a debilitated Administration, nor yet
again very appreciably advance the repute of an
hon. member 'whose career was beginning to be
looked to with some little hope by many, and by a
few 'with a very great deal of interest.
One cannot but bear rather vividly in mind the
part taken by the hon. member for Halifax upon the
occasion of a memorable little episode last session
in the otherwise dull and tedious sittings of the
House of Commons. For a while Mr. STANS-
FELD might almost have been represented by
any pasquineding caricaturist who cared to
symbolise his Parliamentary frolics by a timely
touch or two from a comic pencil—as bearing aloft
fora time a banner emblazoned on one side, like

the standard of the young aspirant, sung of in Pro-
fessor LONGFELLOW'S ballad, Excelsior ! and upon
, let us say, Miching Malecho ! Ap-
parently, Mr. STANSFELD "meant mischief," or he
mean; a:change for the better in Lord PALMERSTON'S
administration.

OLD 800K-STALLS.—Already the book-stall has
almost disappeared from the streets of London.
There are, indeed, things with the outward and visible
signs of book-stalls still to be seen, where the passer-by is
tempted with piles of the "London Directory" for 1856,
with stacks of odd numbers of the " Quarterly" and " Edin-
burgh," with long rows of reprints of Disraeli and But-
wer, and original editions of Captain Mayne Reid and
Gustave Aimard. But the regular old book-stall, to stop
at which was like putting in at a lottery where you might
win but could not lose—this is a thing of the past. Sixty
years ago, acc,rding to Charles Lamb, " Jeremy Taylor,"
" Burton on Mel-,neholy," and " Religio Medici,"
on
every stall, were among the pleasures of "London of the
many sins." Now you might as well look for grouse on
Ham, stead -h ath as for Burton, unless it be some chance
copy of that " heartless sight"—the reprint—which filled
Lamb with disgust. the old-book shops, Vic), have changed
in character. They have become cautious of pretending to
ancient literature, and rather incline to describing them •
selves as dealing in ",econd-hand books."

ever since last session, up to this preSent moment,
still continued flagrantly to be what the quack

guage of the classics, a desideratum. A negative

A. positive change for

nation some, at least, among those very reforms,
for the carrying of which, more effectually through
the Legislature, Lord PALMERSTON and his col-
leagues took office nearly four years ago, namely,
just before the midsutnmer of '59. Nothing whatever
to the good in either direction has, to this moment,
been accornplishc.d, either through any persistent
pertinacity of demand on the part of the member
for Halifax, or through. any tardy display of com-
punction on the part of Some member of the Admi-
nistration. Reformers there are, save the mark
so-called still seated in that Cabinet, leaven-
ing it, or as one may say, in some slight
degree flavouring it, with the si "
c y aroma
of an almost wholly evaporated perfume of
liberalism. In this manner there comes to us in-
deed occasionally a feeble and vapid sense
of consolation, in the mere recognition, among
the Ministers who have attended the last
Cabinet Council in Downing-street, of the names
of practical reformers and advanced liberals
such as the tight hon. gentlemen the member for
Wolverhampton and Ashton under-Lyne. Only—

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST.
A Wharnclitle meeting of this company was held
on Tuesday at the London- bridge Terminus Hotel, to
consider certain bills now before Parliament ; Mr.
L. Schuster in the chair.

The Secretary having read the notice convening
the meeting,
The CHAIRMAN explained on a map the chief ob-
jects the company intended to accomplish, by mak-
ing several new lines and improvements for the
better accommodation of the various districts through
which the company's lines passed, and for shorten-
ing the distance between London and various places
on the main line and branches. The line from Peck-
ham on the South London line, now in course of
construction, would form an inner semicircle on the
south side of London, for which powers had been
obtained last session, and would also form junctions
with lines running in a north-west direction. The
company's new line towards the south coast would
shorten the distance to Portsmouth by 11 or 12
miles as compared with the company's present route.
The West London Extension line, in which the com-
pany had an interest, was opened a few days ago,
and brought their lines into connection with the
North London Railway. He was glad to say that
the traffic over the West London Extension line wss
already considerable, and he had no doubt it would
continue to increase. After some further observa-
tions, formal resolutions approving the following
bills were carried unanimously :
" A bill to enable the London, Brighton, and South Coast
Railway Company to make extensions and alterations of
their railways, authorised by ' The London, Brighton, and
South Coast Railway (New Lines) Act, 1862,' and other
works,' and for other purposes.
"A bill to enable the London, Brighton, and South Coast
Railway Company to make new lines of railway to Mitcham,
Sutton, and Tooting, in Surrey, and to connect the same
with other railways, and for other purposes."
A bill to enable the London, Brighton, and South
Coast Railway Company to make a railway from Dorking
to Leatherhead, and for other purposes."
" An Act for making a tramway in the parish of Portsea,
in the county of Southampton, and for other purposes."
"A Bill for authorizing the amalgamation of the under-
takings of divers railway companies with the undertaking of
the London and South-Western Railway Company; and
divers arrangements between that company and other com-
panies and bodies, and for other purposes."
"A Bill to enable the Trustees of Newhaven Harbour
and Ouse Lower Navigation,' to form a new cat for divert-
ing the channel of the river Ouse, and to construct a road,
tramway, and other works for the improvement of the said
harbour and navigation, and for other purposes."
"An Act for increasing the capital of and conferring
further powers on the West London Extension Railway
Company, amending their Acts, and for other purposes."
The meeting was then adjourned to the 12th of May for
the consideration of other Bills,

SYMPATHY WITH POLAND.—A public meeting
was held on Monday at Crediton (Devonshire) to express

THE WEATHER.

The following is the report of Admiral Fitzroy to
the Board of Trade :

" April, 1863.

" Sir,—ln my reports last year to yourself—with those
of 1857 and 1858—information was given respecting all de-
tails of this department.
" 2. Since April, 1862, continued progress has been made
in the principal subjects, for which this office was origi-
nally instituted in 1854, and a considerable advance has
been effected in the practical application of meteorology to
every-day use.
" 3. The results of such utilisation of facts observed can
scarcely be more clearly and briefly shown than by the two
papers appended to this report, which give statements of
wind and weather following every instance of making our
cautionary signals; and the opinions of practical men re-
specting fishery barometers lent to them by the Board of
Trade. The statement of weather was drawn up by my
assistant from our office records, and has not been the least
altered. The barometer paper is also printed verbatim
from the original returns.
" 4. Applications of a pressing nature have been made
for the cautionary signals sent from this office, from no less
than 54 of the places on our coasts, which are specified in
the third paper of the appendix; and as some of these have
been preferred but recently they are evidences of deliberate
considera. ion and of the value attached to the fact Mint by
means of our regular reporting stations (offices of the tele-
graph companies) and the Coastguard, aided by the liberal
organisation effected locally in some districts, all the coasts
of Great Britain and Ireland to which the telegraph ex-
tends, including the Isles of Man, Jersey, and Heliguland,
can now be warned in less than one hour.
" 5. More than this, however, has already been effected,
and more is in prospect. From France we receive telegrams
twice a day, in the early morning from Rochefort, L' Orient,
and Brest, which reach London as soon as our own from
Ireland or Scotland ; and in the afternoon, through Paris,
from Lisbon, Bayonne, Brest, Helder, and Copenhagen. In
exchange for which we send daily reports to Paris Observa-
tory from seven places ; and to Calais—for the Frenchcoast
specially—at 11; besides such occasional warnings as may
be useful to the French north-west coasts, including our
Channel Islands.

" 6. How the British notices are appreciated in France
may be shown by the following extracts of letters received
by myself from two officers.injhe French navy, who have
been charged with the organisation of a central office at
Paris (similar to this) with corresponding or reporting sta-
tions on the north, the west, and the south coasts of
France.

demand the liberation of the vessel if no prima facie
case were made out on the part of her captors.
Such a case, however, it would seem, was estab-
lished, or at ]east alleged, and the Court of Admi-
ralty had commenced an investigation into the cir-
cumstances of the capture when the last mail left
New York. It is not improbable that a similar
course will be followed in respect to the Dolphin,
and that in her case, as in that of the Peterhoff, a
prize court will determine whet her or not the cap-
ture has been illegal.
