Extensive Seizure of Smuggled Tobacco.

Yesterday before the magistrates at York, Leopold
Lowenthal], of Edinburgh, was charged with un-
shipping, or being concerned in unshipping, or
otherwise dealing in 4421 b. of cigars and 1781 b. of
manufactured tobacco, whereby he had forfeited a
penalty of £1,578 6s. 3d. Mr. Beverley, of Lon-
don, appeared for the Crown; and Mr. Mann, of
York, for the defendant. These proceedings were
instituted by the Board of Customs, and the infor-
mation was laid under the 234th section of the Cus-
toms Consolidation Act. On Tuesday, the 13th
inst., the prisoner went to the office of the North-
Eastern Railway Company at York, and requested
that a conveyance might be sent to his lodgings,
Mrs. Gill's, North-street, to remove nine casks, fir
the purpose of being forwarded to Edinburgh. On
being asked what the casks contained he said black
lead. On the following morning a rully 'was sent
to his lodgings, and the prisoner assisted in
the casks upon the vehicle. They placing
were then con-
veyed eight of them being
tomr.LLoswetinotnh,an,
63, South-bridge,
other to Mr. T. Wilson, to be
Edinburgh addressed to
theand the railway station,
left at the Edinburgh goods station. From infor-
mation which Mr. Haley, the chief constable at
York, had received he had placed one of his officers,
Sergeant Duke, to watch the premises where the
prisoner was lodging. After the casks had been
removed to the railway station, the chief constable
proceeded thither, and having caused one of the
casks to be broken open, he found it to contain
cioairs, He at once saw Mr. White, the supervisor
of inland revenue, who seized the nine casks. Eight
of them were found to contain cigars, and the other
cask manufactured tobacco. On proceeding to the
prisoner's lodgings along with the chief constable,
they found 381 b. of tobacco and some cigars.
They also discovered behind the premises 17 sofas,
in which it was believed the cigars and tobacco
had been introduced into this country. On the sth
inst. an importation of furniture took pace at Hull,
and that furniture was removed to York and delivered
at the prisoner's lodgings. In that city he had gone
by the name of Patterson. Besides the sofas there
were found in the warehouse a number of foreign
newspapers, as well as a quantity of seaweed, which
appeared to have been used in packing, and there
was a very strong smell of tobacco. The prisoner
had purchased nine empty casks, and they were
proved to be those which contained the tobacco.
tie admitted that the property
was his, and said he
had bought it, but the less he said about it the
better. Mr. Pretty, a surveyor residing at Hull,
estimated the treble value of the cigars and tobacco
found in the casks at £1,571 6& 3d. The magis-
trates convicted the accused in a penalty of that
amount, together with the costs. He was then fur-
ther charged with unshipping, or otherwise dealing
in 381 b. of manufactured tobacco found at his lodg-
ings. He pleaded guilty, and in this ease was fined
£lOO and the costs. He was committed to Ellison,
'until the penalties shall be paid.

the trade having deferred their operations till to-day, when
about 22,000 packages will be offered by public auction.
SUGAR.—Business has been dull, but full prices are cur-
rent for good and fine grocery descriptions. In the refined
market there is_no material change to record in quotations.

COME.—There has been a strong inquiry for the better
qualities of colonial, and late prices have been well sus-
tained ; in inferior descriptions, however, the dealings
have been limited, although offered at slightly reduced
rates.

RICE.—The demand for superior cleaned qualities has
been more active, and prices are well maintained; in other
sorts there is no change to record in values.
SALTPETRE.—Business has been more active, and good
and superior qualities of East India have been at slightly
enhanced rates.
TALLOW.—The market has shown more activity, owing
to an increasing demand for consumption. P.Y.C. on the

DISGRACEFUL RIOT IN CORK.

CORK, Wednesday.

About 10 o'clock last evening a stone was hurled
at the windows of a chemist in Winthrop-street,
which was immediately followed by several others,
breaking a quantity of glass. When the crash of
the windows was heard, the crowd got up a cheer,
which drew the constabulary towards them. At
their approach they were assailed with stones and
sticks, and groans were given for them. Stone-
throwing continuing, the police charged and
cleared the street at the point of the bayonet, in
doing which several persons were knocked down
in the rush and injured. When driven out of
Winthrop-street the mob ran on to Pembroke-
street, where they took up a position opposite
the Commercial Hotel, and stretched from the Hi-
bernia Hotel on one hand to the Post-office on the
other. Here stone-throwing again commenced, and
the place had to be cleared by the mounted consta-
bulary. After they had passed on, however, the
mob again returned and battered in the windows of
the Hibernia Hotel, and the illuminated devices
outside the house. The Commercial Hotel was next
attacked, and in less than 10 minutes almost every
pane of glass in the front facing Pembroke-street
was broken. At times the showers of stones thrown
from hundreds of hands were really terrifying,
breaking in, as they frequently did, at one volley,
the entire sashes of the windows, while others of
the stones rebounded off the walls of the house and
fell among the people, inflicting in many instances
severe cuts and bruises. A scene of the utmost dis-
order here prevailed. Numbers of the people fled
terror-stricken, while the ruffians who remained
rl only redoubled their efforts on beholding the con-
sternation and destruction they were causing.

Such was the determination of the mob that
scarcely any force could quell them. Although
they fled at the charges of the constabulary, they
returned and did not stop until they had made al-
most a complete wreck of the windows of those who
illuminated. The organisation of the rioters seemed
complete.
In one of the rows the mayor received some
rough usage.

At midnight the military were sent for, and one
company of infantry soon arrived, but their services
were not required. After they bad retired, how-
ever, a set of ruffians broke in the windows of the
Crown solicitor. _

CRIME IN FRANCE.

The Court of Assizes ;the Seine yesterday tried
a liberated convict named Guillotte, aged 50, on
charges of robbery and forgery. The prisoner, who
is a 'Lan of some talent, and capable of assuming
almost any character, was in his youth, according
to his own account, for some years in the service of
Count Marcullus as valet, and accompanied his mas
ter to Naples, Venice, Athens, •and other places in
the East. Later in life he had the misfortune to
commit a crime for which he was condemned to
five years' hard labour. On his liberation, instead
of remaining at the town assigned him for a resi-
dence, he came to Paris, and in the beginning of last
year he called on a Mme. Crepon, a wine-dealer in
the Rue Bellechasse, to whom he presented himself
under the name of Meunier (he having stolen the
passport of a man bearing that name). Mme.
Crepon did not recognise him at first, but he at last
convinced her of his identity, and she then told him
that his wife hag died broken-hearted in conse-
quence of his deserting her, and that his daughter
was still living and very well off. He expressed
the utmost anxiety to see her, and Mme. Crepon
accordingly accompanied him to Montmartre, where
the young woman resided. He acted his part so
well that no suspicions were entertained as to the

truth of his story, and his recovered
daughter actually supplied him with the means
of living in idleness for several months. During
one of his morning strolls, the prisoner met a
countryman named Valliant, near the Northern
Railway terminus, who asked the way to
the Rue de la Michodiere. The prisoner offered
to accompany him there, and by the way learned
that his companion Was going to fetch ten Northern
Railway bonds which had been purchased for him.
Under pretence of counting the bonds, the prisoner
managed to steal three of them, which he sold soon
after to a money-changer, and signed the receipt
with a false name, thus adding forgery to theft. He
was arrested for the robbery, and fully identified by
M. Vaillant and the mc,ney changer. After hear-
ing the evidence, the jury at once found the pri-
soner guilty, and the Court sentenced him to 12
years' hard labour.
The police have just succeeded in arresting
one of the persons who carried off nearly the
whole contents of M. Faveresu's ladies' linen-
warehouse in the Rue Taitbout, a fortnight ago.
The prisoner, a woman named Marie G—, was
arrested while attempting to sell part of the stolen
goods at a house of ill-fame, and on searching her
lodgings athedisßatignolles the remainder ot the
ropert was covered. It appears that the
woman had been engaged for a few days to replace
y Favereau's servant, and had taken the opportu-
nity of stealing a duplicate key of the inside door
into
leading from the house the shop. On the night
of the robbery she concealed herself in the house
till all its inmates were. gone to bed, and. then en-
erd the shop and admitted her accomplice, a man,
twheom the police have not yet been able to find.

INDIA-MEDICAL SERVICE.

Mr. R. MILLS asked the Secretary of State for India,
when the details for the amalgamation of the Medical
Service of the late East India Company with that of the
Royal Army were likely to be promulgated
Sir C. WOOD replied that this subject was now under
the consideration of the War-office. He was not in a con-
dition to say when the details would be promulgated, but
he hoped only a short time would elapse.
EMIGRATION OF PAUPERS.
Mr. STANLEY asked the President of the Poor Law
Board if boards of guardians or parish vestries had not
the power to raise money for the purposes of assisting the
emigration of paupers and their families to British colonies ;
and, if so, under what restrictions and regulations?
Mr. C. VILLIERS replied in the affirmativ, and ex-
plained the mode of proceeding on the part of parish autho-
rities in order to promote :emigration. A rate could be
levied, and not more than £lO per head expended.
THE MAILS TO THE CAPE..
Sir M. PETO asked the Secretary to the rreasury if he
would lay upon the table of the house a list of the names
of the parties who tendered for the mail contract for the
Cape of Good Hope, with the amount of such tender, and the
name of the successful party ; and whether the contract
would be deposited upon the table of the house for one
month previous to its confirmation, as suggested by the
committee on mail contracts?
Mr. F. PEEL replied that he had no objection to lay the
tenders on the table, The tender of the successful party
would be laid on the table previous to its confirmation.
A POLL TAX IN SMYRNA.
Mr. WYLD asked the Under Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs if the Government had received
any memorials or remonstrances from British subjects
residing at Smyrna, of the attempted imposition by the
British Consul of a poll-tax cf five shillings per head upon
every adult Englishwoman and Englishman residing at
Smyrna; And, if he would lay before the house, a copy
of the report of Sir Edmund Hornby on the complaints
made against Mr. Consul Blunt at Smyrna?
Mr. LAYARD replied that the Government had received
a memorial of the nature referred to, and he had no
objection to lay it on the table of the house. But
the so-called "poll-tax" was strictly and special!),
a registration fee, levied under an order in Council, in
fact it was a fee levied by the representatives on all persons
not natives of the place. The money thus levied was ap.
plied to public purposes, and he might add that it was levied
on those who did not pay English and who would not pay
. Turkish taxes. (Laughter.) As four years had

DEATH OF SIR JAMES OUTRAN.

We learn by telegram that the death of Sir James
Outram, K.C.8., took place in Paris at one o'clock
yesterday morning. This distinguished officer, who
acquired so great and deserved a reputation by his
military and political services in India, was born in
1805, at Butterley-hill, Derbyshire. His father was
a civil engineer of some celebrity, and he himself
was educated at Marischal College, Aberdeen,
whence he went out as a cadet to India in 1819,
and was afterwards appointed adjutant to the 23d
Regiment of Native Infantry, being for some time
previously in command of a body of irregular
troops. From 1828 to 1835 he served in Candeish,
and in the latter year he was employed in organising
a regular farce in Guzerat. In 1838 he was aide-de-
camp to Lord Keane, and took an active part in the
capture of Guznee. He subs( quently performed, in
succession, the functions of political agent at Goo-
jerat, and those of commissary in the Upper Scinde,
besides undertaking the duties of British Resident
at Hydrabad, at Setters, and at Lucknow. Ia all
these capacities he especially recommended himself
to the esteem of his superior officers as well by his
military vigour as by his administrative qualities.
In 1842 he was appointed commissioner to nego-
tiate with the Ameer of Scinde, in which position
he adopted views at variance with those of Gen.
Sir Charles Napier, a difference which found very
decided expression, after he quitted Scinde,
in the publication of a work in two volumes, in
which he severely criticised the conduct of Sir
Charles relative to the conquest of that country.
Nevertheless, the views he entertained on the policy
of Sir Charles Napier afterwards received the
approbation of the directors of the East India
Company. He visited England on furlough in
1843, and in the following year he was appointed
to a command in the Mahratta country. In 1847
he was appointed Resident at Baroda, and also at
Bombay, where he unflinchingly ex posi d the official
venality then prevalent, and which he was largely
instrumental in suppressing. In 1856 he was
nominated by Lord Dalhousie successor to air John
Lawrence as Chief Camtuissioner of Gude. In the
military operations in Persia, in 1857, he took the
most active and prominent part, and was raised to
the rank of lieutenant-general in that year. As Sir
Henry Lawrence's successor at Lucknow, the noble
part he played during the mutiny in India, and
more especially in connection with the advance of
Sir Henry Havelock's force, are yet fresh in the
recollection of the public. In 1856, while in the
chief command of the Persian expedition, he was
made C. 8., and in 1856 he was rewarded with a
baronetcy. He was afterwards made a G.C.8., and
was promoted to the rank of lieutenant-general.
He returned to England in 1860, greatly shattered
in health, and on several public occasions has been
received with the honour justly due to his eminent
public services and his high personal character.

CRIME IN FRANCE.

The Court of Assizes of the Seine yesterday tried
a liberated convict named Gaillotte, aged 50, on
charges of robbery and forgery. The prisoner, who
is a man of some talent, and capable of assuming
almost any character, was in his youth, according
to his own account, for some years in the service 01
Count Marcullus as valet, and accompanied his mas
ter to Naples, Venice, Athens, and other places in
the East. Later in life he had the misfortune to
commit a crime for which he was condemned to
five years' hard labour. On his liberation, instead
of remaining at the town assigned him for a resi-
dence, he came to Paris, and in the beginning of last
year he called on a Mme. Crepon, a wine-dealer in
the Rae Bellechasse, to whom he presented himself
under the name of Meunier (he having stolen the
passport of a man bearing that name). Mme.
Crepon did not recognise him at first, but he at last
convinced her of his identity, and she then told him
that his wife hat died broken-hearted in conse-
quence of his deserting her, and that his daughter
was still living and very well off. He expressed
the utmost anxiety to see her, and Mine. Crepon
accordingly accompanied him to Montmartre, where
the young woman resided. He acted his part so
well that no suspicions were entertained as to the
truth of his story, and his recovered
daughter actually supplied him with the means
of living in idleness for several months. During
one of his morning strolls, the prisoner met a
countryman pained V t
asked the Northern
Railway terminus, who the Way to
the Rue de la Michodiere. The prisoner offered
to accompany him there, and by the way learned
that his companion was going to fetch ten Northern
Railway bonds which had been purchased for him.
Under pretence of counting the bonds, the prisoner
managed to steal three of them, ev hich he sold soon
after to a money-changer, and signed the receipt
with a fit'se name, thus adding forgery to theft. He
was arrested for the robbery, and fully identified by
M.. Valliant and the moneychanger. After hear-
ing the evidence, the jury at once found the pri.
sonerguilts, and the Court sentenced him to 12

years' hard labour.
The police have just succeeded in arresting
one of the persons who carried off nearly the
whole contents of M. Favereau's ladiee
linen-
warehouse in the Rue Taitbout, a foetnight ego.
The pris-,ner, a woman named Marie G—, was
arrested while attempting to sell part of the stolen
goods at a house of ill-tame, and cu searching her
lodgings at the Batignolles the remainder of the
property was discovered. It appears that the
woman had been engaged for a few days to replace
M. Favereau's servant, and had taken the opportu-
nity of stealing a duplicate key of the inside door
leading from the house into the shop. On the night
of the robbery she concealed herself in thehen house
till all its inmates were gone to bed, and t en-
tered the shop and admitted her accomplice, a man,
whom the police have not yet been able to find.

Court of Common Council—This Day.
THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCE OF WALES

AND THE PRINCESS ALEXANDRA.

This afternoon a meeting of the Common Council of the
City of London took place in the Guildhall. The Lord
Mayor presided.
Mr. TRUSCOTT, the chairman of the City Lands Com-
mittee, rose to move an address of congratulation to her
Majesty the Queen on the marriage of the Prince of
Wales. He referred at some length to the deep obligations
which the country was under to the late Prince Consort,
and to the great sympathy which had been shown by
ail Classes of the citizens towards her Majesty in her sore
bereavement. He augured the best results from the alli-
ance which the Prince of Wales had contracted, founded as
it was, not upon political expediency or State policy, but
upon pure affection.
Mr. KERNS, in seconding the motion, said he had great
pleasure in doing so, as he had seconded a similar address
of congratulation to her Majesty on the birth of the Prince.
The mot ion was unanimously adopted amidst loud cheers.
Mr. Youxo moved an address to the Prince of Wales,
which WAS also agreed to.
Mr.C. REED, in proposing a similaraddress to the Princess
of Wales, highly extolled her virtues, and anticipated the
happiest results from an alliance with Denmark.
, The motion was unanimously agreed to.

THE MURDER OF MR. FITZGERALD.—DUBLIN,
Wednesday.—Dennis Dillane was this day con-
victed as accessory before the act, of the murder of Mr.
Fitzgerald, in the county of Limerick. Sentence was de-
ferred. It was by Dillane, who is a shopkeeper, that the
assassins, Beckham and Walsh, were hired. The trial of
Matthew Dillane, for the same crime, is postponed until
next assizes. William Cooke pleaded guilty to the charge
of harbouring Walsh. In this case also sentence was de-
ferred.
CONFLICT BETWEEN THE PREMIER AND THE
LORD CHANCELLOR ABOUT CHURCH PATRONAGE.
—lt may be remembered that some weeks ago the vicarage
of St. Peter's, Isle of Thanet, in the patronage of the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury (value about £650 a year), fell vacant
by the death of the Rev. Sanderson Robins, on the very
day before the new Archbishop of canterbury came into
possession of his temporalities, by doing homage to th
Queen. The presentation, therefore, lapsed to the Crown
and Lord Palmerston, seeing the closeness of the case,
generously waived his supposed rights, whereupon the Lord
Primate presented the Rev. J. It. Hall, rector of Boldon,
near Gateshead, and prebendary of York, his grace's nephew
and examining chaplain. The Lord Chancellor, however,
claimed the right of presentation on the ground that the
benefice was in his gift, not in the gift of the Premier, as
being under a certain value in the king's books. The mat-
ter was referred to the law officers of the Crown, and they
have confirmed his lordship's claim as against his chief.
Lord Wrstbtuy will therefore present his own nominee,
and Mr. Hall, whose rectory of Boldon has been filled 11P,
will have the pleasure of finding himself without any pre.
ferment at all.

The Neapolitan Brigands.

Pilone's band of brigands and Pilone himself were
within an ace of being made prisoners the other
day. For some time past commissaries of police
have been stationed in all the slopes of Vesuvius.
One of them was lately informed that the brigands
had ordered a grand Sunday supper at a farm called
Carols, near the Torreannunciati cemetery. The
Portici corps of bersaglieri and the local national
guard were thereupon ordered out. The united
force marched towards the spot at an early hour in
the evening, but they made so much noise that the
brigands took the alarm and escaped, leaving, how-
ever, their supper behind them. The troops found
plates laid for 40 persons, maccaroci smoking ho',
turkeys all ready for the spit, omelettes, and wine.
A single brigand who lagged behind was wounded,
taken prisoner, and shot in cold blood the next
day, after having been pressed in vain to give in-
formation about his comrades. So precipitate was
the flight of the band that they abandoned, be-
side their food, 40 waterproof cloaks and several
muskets and powder flasks. The inhabitants of
the farmhouse fled with them. The authorities
before leaving burned the house down by way of
I example. It is supposed that Pilone must have
crossed the Nole Valley and taken refuge in the
thick woods of Avellino. The failu.e of this ex-
pedition against the brigands is the subject of
much ill natured laughter in Napes. A facetious
journal publishes a caricature representing a great
general playing at blindman's buff (a /a Gatta cieca)
with a brigand. The general has his eyes ban-
daged and gropes his way, while the brigand
tickles him with a feather. There is a rush to buy
this journal.

NATIONAL CHORAL SOCIETY,

Last night, at Exeter Hall, the National Choral
Society performed the oratorio of "Elijah." The
evening was rendered interesting by the introduc-

tion of the National Anthem, in which Mr. Sims
Reeves sang a solo verse introduced for the occasion.
It called forth warm applause during its delivery—
Bless England's Royal son,
Bless her whose love he's won,
Close to his side;
Deep breathes a nation's prayer,
God bless Victoria's heir,
And her the young and fair,
God bless his bride I
Mendelssohn's Wedding March was played,
and elicited great enthusiasm. The oratorio was
skilfully rendered. Mr. Sims Reeves, who is
inimitable in sacred music, appeared to full advan-
tage, and though in this oratorio he has little to do,
yet he acquitted himself admirably. " Then shall
the righteous" he gave with great effect, and some
attempt was made for an encore, which he wisely
declined. The beautiful trio, " Lift thine eyes," which
was sung by Miss Palmer, Miss Cox, and Miss F.
Lancia, was enthusiastically encored, as it deserved
to be. Mr. G. W. Martin was the condultor, and the
band and chorus consisted of 700 performers. A very
large audience appeared satisfied with the perform-
ance, and altogether a most successful effect was
produced. Mr. Santley sang with great spirit his
nurriproao morcoaltx, anrl gave great satisfaction. In
the solo " Is not His Word like a fire," he espe-
cially distinguished himself. The other vocalists
were Mr. Carter, Mr. Winn, Mr. Theodore
Diston, and Miss Julia Elton. The managers of
this affair have every reason to be satisfied with the
effect produced, and the greatest credit is due to
those who so ably seconded the efforts of the spirited
originators.

THE ARMY.

The iron steam troopship Megsera, Commander
Henderson, yesterday embarked from Woolwich
Arsenal the headquarters, with Nos. 2,3, 4, and 5
batteries, of the 7th Brigade Royal Artidery, for
Portsmouth. The detail is as follows:--.Col. A. P.
S. Green, Capts. Carpenter, Tweedie, and Frank-
lin ; Lit-uts. Duncan, Webster, Macartney, Price,
Brent, F. Johnson, A. Ste,. art, E. Johnson, Lloyd,
and Sheppard; Paymaster Stewart, Quartermaster
Morris, Staff-Surg. Major Wilkinson, Assist.- Surg.
Miles, 1 schoolmaster, 1 schoolmistress, 4 staff ser-
geants, 18 sergeants, 412 rank and file, 10 trum-
peters, 50 women, and 94 children. The Megoera
sailed from the pier for her destination at 3 p.m.
With the exception of a few of the principal offi-
cers of the staff and some of the troops still remain-
ing, the invalid depot at Chatham garrison (which
for some years past has been the station to which
the invalid troops, as well as the soldiers about to
be discharged, have been sent from all parts of the
world) is broken up. The officers, the officials be-
longing to the staff, with the troops, have been re-
moved to the new hospital at Netley, which will
henceforward be devoted exclusively to the recep-
tion of the sick and disabled troops, as well as the
time-expired men arriving home from India and the
