WESTMINSTER.

DISTRESSING POSITION OF A HUSBAND AND FATHER.
—A man, of gentlemanly appearance and address, who
appeared overwhelmed with grief, addressing the magis-
trate, said that he had to solicit his advice under circum-
stances of a most painful description. He regretted to say
that his wife was utterly given over to drink, and that his
two young children were not only grossly neglected, but
were endangered by her c)mmon and repeated intoxication.
This unhappy state of things had been going on for three
years, and threatened inevitable beggary, as she took out
everything that could be disposed of to indulge her un.
happy propensity, and applicant was most anxious to have
the magistrate's advice as to the course he had better
pursue.

Mr. Arnold—lt is really very distressing, but I have no
power to help you.
Applicant—l really cannot live with her any longer ;if

I do, we must all soon become chargeable to the parish.
Cannot you make an order for her admission into the work-
house ? I would there maintain her.
Mr. Arnold—l cannot. I have no jurisdiction in the
matter.

Applicant—Will you kindly favour me with your advice ?
Mr. Arnold—As a magistrate I cannot, but, as a man of
the world, I should recommend you to separate from her,
and to allow het a separate maintenance. ,

Applicant—She is not is a state of mind to make any
at rangement.
Mr. Arnold—lt is a sad case, but I fear not an un-
common one.

Applicant—Pardon me if I inquire upon another head.
The consequence of her continual drunkenness is that her
conduct is perfectly childish; she does not know what she
is about.

Mr. Arnold—lf you can obtain the certificate of a medical
man that she is insane, she may be placed in an asylum,
and there taken care of.

Applicant—A medical man has seen her, but will not give
the necessary certificate. He says that she is bordering on
insanity. _

Mr. Arnold—Then he declines to give a certificate?
Applicant—He does. May I yet ask you another ques-
ion ?

Mr. Arnold—Assuredly.
Applicant—Has the father power to take away the chil-
dren from the mother ?

Mr. Arnold—What aro the ages of the children ?

Applicant—Thirteen months and three years.
Mr. Arnold—The mother is entitled to the custody of the
children up to the age of seven years, unless it can be
shown that she is morally unfit to have charge of them,
but that is not a matter within my jurisdiction.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE MAIL.

PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 25.

The Union Company's steamer Cambrian, with
the above mail, arrived here this morning. She
left Table Bay on the 20th ult., St. Helena, on the
29th nit.,and Ascension on the 2d inst. She brings
68 passengers and £B3O in specie.

The Cape Parliament was prorogued on the 28th
of July.

The Governor had announced his intention of
summoning the next Parliament to assemble at
Graham's Town. He was to leave Cape Town for
Graham's Town in the course of a few weeks.
Great excitement prevails at Cape Town in con-
sequence of this arrangement.

A very large and influential meeting was held
nn the 17th August, at which a long series of
speeches were mad; and a strong memorial to the
Governor against the removal of the Parliament
from the metropolis of the colony was adopted.
The impression in the colony is that Governor
Wodehouse has made this change to conciliate the
Eastern members, and a strong party in the Homo
were determined to oppose him, because they con-
sider all the difficulties would have been got over
by the establishment of a responsible Government.
The elections for the House of Assembly take
place in November. The Legislative Council will
not be dissolved.

THE POLISH INSIIRRECTION.

WARSAW, Sept. 20.
Since the execution of the decrees relative to the
closing of houses and the collection of the
taxes, the police authorities have paused
in their system of reprisals. Domici-
liary visits and arrests, however, continue
without intermission. Meanwhile the Russian
Government appear to be intent upon gradually
dismissing all high Polish officials from the ser-
vice of the State, and filling up the vacancies
with Russians mostly military men.

The following imperial ukase granting unlimited
leave of absence to the Marquis Wielopolski was
published in the Dziennik, of yesterday :
" We Alexander IL, Emperor and Autocrat of all the
Russias, King of Poland, &c. Whereas at his own re-
qnest we have granted to Count Wielepoleki, Marquis
Myskowski, Chief of the Civil Administration in the
Kingdom of Poland, unlimited leave of absence
abroad, we do by the presents release him from the above
functions, as weal as from the office of Vice-President of
the State Council of the Kingdom of Poland.'
64 Given at Tizarkoja-Selo, the 12th Sept., 1863.
(Signed) "ALEXANDER.
For the Emperor and King, Platonow."

BRESLAU, September 23.—The Gazelle says :
All the inmates of the Palace of Count Andre
Zamoyski have been arrested. Among them
are Count Lubrenski, Prince Lobomirski, and.
Professor Paplonski. The two hotels Za_
moyski have been confiscated and converted
into barracks, A search has been made in
the neighbouring church of St. Croix ; even
the coffins were opened and the bodies thrown out.
During the night a convoy of prisoners left the
citadel for Siberia.

GUILD HALL.

A young man named Wilson was brought before Mr.
Alderman Besley, charged with uttering counterfeit coin.
Mrs. Stevens, the widow of a licensed victualler, carry-
ing on business in Bartholomew-close, said the prisoner
came into her house yesterday, and, baying asked for half a
pint of beer, put down the bad half-crown.
Detective Smith, of the City police, said he happened
accidentally to be taking a glass of stout when the prisoner
tendered the money. He questioned him as to how he be-
came possessed of the money, and not receiving any satis-
factory answer took him into custody. As he was proceeding
with him to the station-house he passed throgh Little Bri-
tain, where another publican, who was standing at his door,
said he had taken some counterfeit half-crowns the day be-
fore, which, on comparing, were found to be from the same
mould as that from which the one tendered at Mrs. Stevens's
had been made.

The prisoner said he had received the coin amongst the
money he had had for wages where he was employed.
Smith said the prisoner gave the address in the New
North-road, but he neither knew the name of the person who
kept the house or the number.
Remanded for further inquiry.

TEE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY•

__-
The Metropolitan Railway has at length become
a " great fact," and, we may confidently add, a
great success. Yesterday saw it opened by the
directors ; to-day it is open for public traffic. More
than ten years have now elapsed since the original
scheme was first projected. Mr. Charles Pearson,
the late City solicitor, was among the first to recog-
nise the importance of the project, but it was not
until the year 1854 that an Act was obtained for
carrying out the Metropolitan Railway. The line
as at present constructed extends from Farringdon-
street to Bishop's-road, Paddington, a distance of
three miles and three quarters. The intermediate
stations are King's-cross, Gower-street (for Euston-
square and Tottenham Court-road), Portland-road,

Baker-street, and Edgeware-road. At King's-cross

the line joins the Great Northern, and at Pad-
__

dington connects with the Great Western Railway.
The Farringdon-street Station is only temporary,
the company having obtained powers to extend
the line to Finsbury-circus. This extension,
which is to be proceeded with as soon as

possible, will pass under the proposed dead meat-
market in Smithfield, at which point the Great
Western Company propose to construct a large sta-
tion for goods for traffic. The London, Chatham,
and Dover Company have also obtained Parliamen-
tary powers to join the Metropolitan line near
Farringdon-street, and to run over the intended
extension to Finsbury-cireus. By means, there-
fore, of the Metropolitan Railway, the Great West-
ern, Great Northern, and London, Chatham, and
Dover Companies will be placed in direct communi-
cation, and traffic both of passengers and goods will
then be conveyed directly from all parts of the North
and West of England to the southern ports. The
importance of such a connection cannot be too
highly estimated. The facilities thus afforded for
the direct conveyance of traffic without 'oreak of
earriage, and avoiding the cost of carriage through
London, must have a beneficial effect upon the trade
of the country in general, and especially on that be-

tween the northern counties and the Continent.

The main importance, however, of the undertaking

arises from the fact that it will afford a direct and

expeditious means of conveyance for the enormous
traffic between the east and west ends of London.

If the traffic of our main thoroughfares continued to
Increase as it has done for the last few years loco-

motion would, without some such relief, become
impracticable, and, although the corporation of
London is endeavouring to obtain powers to regulate
the traffic of the streets by separating the heavy
goods from the lighter traffic, this would but
partially remedy the evil. The time has come when
some means were absolutely required for removing

a great part of the traffic entirely from the streets,
and that great object will, we hope, be secured by
the opening of the Metropolitan Railway.
The line has been constructed by Mr. Fowler,
and the character of the works bears the highest
testimony to his great engineering skill. Indeed

THE BULLION MARKET.

Annexed is Messrs. Pixley, Abell, and Laogley's
weekly report of the bullion market :

Gold—The arrival of gold comprise the folio wing :
White Star, from Sydney, with £50,000 ; Arabia, from
Boston, with £23,000 ; Edinburgh, from New York, with
£69,000. The demand for export has however- been
so great, that about £lBl,OOO in bars and sove-
reigns have been withdrawn from the Bank, and
any immediate arrival would also be taken for a'broad.
The Pera has taken £65,600 to Alexandria, and £26,900 to
Ceylon and Madras. Silver—The silver ex Shannon has
been sold at 611 d per oz standard; owing to the difficulty
of getting silver from the Continent, in consequence of the
refineries being closed, the price has slightly improved, and
we quote the rate as 614 d per oz for the out-going mail tot
Bombay of the 12th inst. The Pera has taken £68,000 la*
India. Mexican Dollars—The Pera has taken £21,000 to,
China and the Straits. We are quite unable to give a
quotation for this coin, as, owing to its present scarcity,,
no actual business has yet been transacted ; the:
nearest price we can state is from 63d to 631 d per ounce.
Exchange on India for Banks' Drafts at 60 days' sight is
somewhat easier than last week. The rates are—on Bom-
bay 2s 0/d, on Calcutta and Madras 2s per rupee. Docu-..
ment Bills are is il4d on Bombay, and is 111 d on Calcutta

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Ointment.—Bad legs,
wounds, ulcers, and all descriptions of sores are cured 11
the proper and diligent use of this inestimable preparation.,
To attempt to cure bad legs by plastering the edges of the
wound together is a folly, for should the skin unite a baggy
diseased condition remains underneath, to break out with
tenfold fury in a few days. The only rational and permit'
nent treatment, as indicated by nature, is to reduce the 411'
flammation in and about the wound, to Booth the neigh"
bouring nerves, to cool the heated blood as it courses alai;
its vessels, and to render the thin watery ichorous
charge consistent and healthy. Holloway's Pills should be
taken to purify the blood and expel the obnoxious humour°
from the system.

THE NAVY.

The Termagant, screw steam frigate, Capt; R.
Hall, after being officially inspected, was paid off
yesterday morning under the superintendence of
Capt. Henry Broadhead, of the Steam Reserve.
Notwithstanding the shortness of the day, the brief
time that has elapsed since her arrival, and the
continuance of wet weather, the ship was ready for
inspection, and her condition was higbiy satisfac-
tory. The menleft the pay-table in most excellent
order, owing principally to the good arrangements
made by the captain, in not suffering a number of
men and women alongside or on board at the time
paying off. The following were recommended to
the Lords of the Admiralty for the receipt of medals
and gratuities :—George Robbins, leading stoker;
John Meek, ship's cook ; and Joseph Jilks, private
Royal Marine L.I. The manner in Which the Ter-
magant has performed her work since her being
put is commission by Capt. Hall has been such as
to call forth a complimentary letter from the Lords
of the Admiralty to that officer. The Termagant
will be placed in the third class Steam Reserve.

THE PRINCE OP WALES.

SANDRINGHAM, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
Considerable annoyance was caused to his Royal
Highness yesterday afternoon by a circumstance
which led to the abrupt termination of the sport.
His Royal Highness had been shooting with good
success for about three hours, and when about to
shoot in a wood where a large rise of game was an-
ticipated, it was found that one of his Royal High-
ness's tenants, a Mr. Sherringham, was rabbit dig-
ging just on the edge of the wood. This piece of
bad taste caused his Royal Highness so much
annoyance that he at once intimated his will to have
no more shooting that day, and the Royal party at
once returned to the hall. This morning his Royal
Highness has been in consultation with his agent
and solicitor on the subject.

This morning the Mayor of Lynn, Mr. L. W.
James, had the honour of an interview, and took
luncheon with his Royal Highness. This afternoon
his Royal Highness rode over the estate.
Pheasant shooting will be resumed to.morrcw.

The. Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par,terli and the
short exchange on London is 25.20 per £1
comparing these rates with the English Mint ofpricnegO
£3n
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 1-ICth per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 42:4 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Pt price is, therefore, about
2-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
co days' sip,ht is 146 to 140 per cent., and the premium on
gold is 32} to 33 per cent. At these rates there is a profit
on the importation of gold from the United States.

(Royal Seal granted 17th July, 1860), Sets or partial
Sets of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, are made and
fitted in a few hours by.tneans of his 'patented soft elastic and
imperishable base of tne colour of the gum, to which it ad-
heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensing with springs or
unsightly fastenings, and defying detection by tne closest
observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention
is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to
any change of the mouth (even by the wearer); and as they
act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth
of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed te, last a life
time, as well as for mastication and articulation. Mr.

THE lONIAN ISLANDS.

A letter from Corfu of the 23d ult. states that
the Archbishop and the members of the Municipal
Council, with the members of a society called the
Renaissance, have attended the cathedral in a body,
and offered up prayers of thanksgiving for the con-
sent of England to the union of the islands with
Greece. A procession of several thousands of per-
sons was formed, and promenaded the principal
streets with the Greek flag, uttering the cry of
" Long live Greece !" Proceeding to the house of
the Lord High Commissioner. a deputation entered
and left the following address:—
" Excellency,—Corfu is touched to the heart by
learning that the Government of her Britannic Ma-
jesty has informed the other European Powers who
signed the Treaty of Paris of the sth of November,
1815, of its intention to abandon the protectorate of
the lonian Islands given by that treaty to the So-
vereigns of Great Britain. The reunion of the seven
islands to the kingdom of Greece—this fulfilment
of the ardent and unanimous desire of the popula-
tions—is an act of Divine Providence, and diplo-
macy
cannot but bow to it. But it is to the Supreme
Being that the people of the heptarchy should
first address their grateful thanksgiving, they
cannot abstain from expressing their gratitude
to the English nation, who, from a love
of liberty have interested themselves in our
holy cause, and pleaded it before her Ma-
jesty's Government. In these circumstances the
people of Corfu feel the imperative need of mani-
festing the satisfaction they feel at the triumph of
right and the realisation of their unanimous desire
to be united to Greece. They equally feel the
ndi ne-
their gratitude to the people
of Great Britain,
who,
defendedi thosen defending
of ng our
rights,
have by implication Greeks in
general.
to your Excellency the expres-
c e s“s iltny of expressing
presenting
sion of these sentiments of thankfulness on the part
of the people, we be; yth a
ou, my lord, to be good
enough to make them known to the British Go-
vernment and nation. To this
prayer
—that of seeing magnanimous Albion, which for-
merly
kingdom of
merly concurred in the creation of the ewe add a hope
Greece, and which now, by the annexation of the
lonian Islands, strengthens the central home of the
f
liberty of the Hellenic race—a hope, we say, of
seeing England also co-operate in the future con-
test which the liellenes will have to sustain in the
East in the interest of Christian civilisation."
