CHARGE Or EMBEZZLEMENT BY S SllOrMAN.—Edward
Chapman, a young man, was charged before Mr. Arnold
with embezzling various sums of money belonging to Mr.
James Rackstraw, fishmonger, Sustes-placei

employer. _ _

The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been in his
employment some weeks, and left about a week ago. He
had since found out that the prisoner had been in the habit
of receiving money and not accounting for it. Two sums
of 18s 91 and 7s 8d were received tfrom Mr. Preston Lum-
ley, of the Lily Arms, North End, and two sums of lOs
10d and £1 2s 6d were received from Mr. Tale, of Bolton,
near Bromptan, which he had not accounted fol. There

sufficient.

TEE PROJECT OF FEDERAL REFORM.

I
VIENNA, AUG. 15.
The semi-official Evening Post doubts the cor-
rectness of the six points, stated by a Frankfort
paper to comprise the main features of the Austrian
project of Federal Reform.
Upon the same subject, the Nene Frankfurter
Zeitung says :—" The six points of the Imperial
project communicated yesterday from an Austrian
source are not exhaustive, and do not comprise the
latest alterations. At least we a informedat
a decision had not been come to on Wednesday in
Vienna, whether the Directory should consist of
fire or seven members, and that the point was
again debated on Thursday forenoon.
"The Emperor is said to have stipulated that the
proposals he should undertake to lay before the
Princes should be drawn up in as liberal a sense as
possible."

The Cologne Gazette says it is reported that Duke
Ernest of Coburg•Gotha has prepared a comprehen.
sive memorial upon the Austrian project of Federal
reform, embodying therein his own views upon
German unity. The Duke will probably submit
this memorial to the Congress of Princes.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mile pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.:30 per £1 sterling, On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of z 3
7s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 4-10 the f er cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.6 i per .£1 sterlinc,
,:tandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about.
7-Nibs per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 141 to 1411 per cent., and the premium oil
gold is about 28i per cent. At these prices there is scarcely
any profit oh the hnportation of gold from. the United
States.

THE ARMY.

In consequence of the death of Field Marshal
Lord Ciyde, the siege operations, which were ori-
ginally to have taken place at Chatham yesterday,
and in which the entire force of the garrison as well
as the squadron of gunboats would have taken part,
have been indefinitely postponed, and it is now un-
certain on what day the contemplated operations
will take place.
Tke second annual marching out and encampment
of the troops in garrison at Woolwich on Dartford-
heath took place yesterday. The troops assembled
on parade at Woolwich at 7 a.m., and commenced
their march at 8. The Horse Brigade and the
Itiding troop proceeded by way of Plumatead and
Crayford, in command of Colonel D'Aguilar, C. 8.;
the 9th brigade and one field battery of the depot,
and one 40-pounder battery of guns took the road
through Eltham and Bexley, and were commanded
by Colonel Smyth, C.B. ; the 13th Brigade (foot)
and Royal Marine Light Infantry marched over
Shooter's-bill and Crayford, under the command of
Colonel Buchanan. The whole of the troops arrived
on the heath simultaneously at 11 o'clock. They
were accompanied by Captain Grant's ambulating
cooking battery, by means of which dinners were
cooked on the march, and served with the same
promptitude as from the garrison kitchens. The
men returned to quarters at four o'clock, evidently
gratified with the day's excursion.
Capt. F. J. Bolton, 12th Regiment, the inventor
of the lime light telegraph signals recently intro-
duced into both branches of the service, has just
completed a lengthened course of instruction of the'
several corps at Chatham garrison, in the use and
working of the new system of day and night tele-
graphy. He has rejoined his regiment at the
Curragh Camp.

CHARGE OP EMBEZZLEMENT BY A SHOPMAN.—Edward
Chapman, a young man, was charged before Mr. Arnold
with embezzling various sums of money belonging to Mr.
James Rackstraw, fishmonger, Susses-place, Brompton, his
employer.
The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been in his
employment sumo weeks, and left about a week ago. He
had since found out that the prisoner had been in the habit
of receiving money and not accounting for it. Two sums
of 18s 9d and 7s 8d were received {from Mr. Preston Lum-
ley, of the Litly Arms, North End, and two sums of 19s
10d and £1 2s 6d were received from Mr. Tcale, of Bolton,
near Brompton, which ho had not accounted for. There
were other charges against the prisoner.
Arnold observed that the present charges were quite
sufficient.

The City and Metropolitan Police Forces.

•
An important document, bearing on the question
of the comparative efficiency of these two forces,
has just been published. It appears that Sir
Richard Mayne deemed it his duty to collect
certain returns, which he considers go far to
demonstrate the superiority of the Metropolitan
police in point of efficiency and cheapness. The
results of his investigations and calculations were
laid before Sir George Grey in the form of a letter
under the date of the Ist of June, and this letter has
now been printed and published. The following is
a full abstract

There was a fair supply of wheat to-day, but the de-

made. Barley of fine quality realised fully late prices, and
grinding sorts rather cheaper. Beans and peas were easier

IMPUDENT ROBBERY IN THIS ROAD.—Benjamin Col-
Ule, alias Conell, aged 23, and William Henderson, 19,
both described as tartors, who are well known to the policy,
were brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing
a large hamper, containing 1121bs, of beef, 'pork; and
mutton.

Sames Bridert) a police sergeant Mid detective, No. 4 K,
saw the prisoners yestetaitty eVening, between six and seven
o'clock. They were following a carman's van. He watched
them until thoy reached the Old King Harry publichouse
where Colville laid hold of a hamper at the back of the van
and pulled it towards him, and then went on the pavement.
This was repeated several times by both prisoners. On
the van reaching the railway arch in the Bow-
road, the prisoners succeeded in removing the
hamper from the van, but it remained suspended by a chain
fastened round the handle until the prisoners cut the handle
with a knife. The hamper then fell on the ground. The
prisoners were about to raise the hamper when Briden seized
Colville, and in spite of a determined resistance, held him
fait. Henderson ran away and was stopped by Police
Sergeant Ripp, No. 5 K, who het) been just before called
upon by Briden for his assistance. The prisoner made a
butt at Sergeant Ripp, who adroitly caught him round the
neck and secured him. The hamper contained 112 lbs. of
prime meat, consigned to the Epping Union by Mr James
Blofeld, a butcher. The driver of the van, Edward Wake-
ling, was in front of his van and did not see the robbery
committed, Both prisoners were recognised as old thieves,
and Mr. Woolrych committed them for trial.

THE SAILOR AND HIS WIFE'S WATCH AND CHAIN.--
William Connor, a sailor, was brought before Mr. Wool-
r)ch, charged with stealing a silver watch, a massive gold
chain, and a gold locket, the property of Margaret Harvey,
of No. 7, Rose-court, Back Church-lane, St George-in-the
East.

The prosecute ix said she missed her watch, to which a
gold locket and gold chain was attached, on Sunday night
at 10 o'clock. She had deposited her watch and appendages
in a cupboard 12 hours previously. She mentioned her loss
to the prisoner, who was staying in the house, and he said
"Do you blame me, Mag.?" She said he must know
something about it, which he stoutly denied. Yesterday
he said he knew where her watch was, and ho hired a cab.
They were driven to different places, and he tried to
get rid of her several times. After they had
been drawn about all day, she suspected the prisoner was
making a fool of her, and gave him into custody.
Francis Kelly, a police-constable, No. 130 H, said that
when he took the prisoner into custody he asked him what
he had done with the woman's property, and he declared he
knew nothing about it. He searched him and found the

PROSPECTUS.

This Company is established in order, tut its name implies,
to carry on the trade of Merchant Bankers. Hitherto this
department of business has been almost exclusively in the
hands of private firms, but it is confidently believed that the
Joint-Stock principle may be most beneficially applied to it,
as well in the interests of commerce as to the advantage of
those who desire a safe and profitable investment.
The Merchant Banking Company of London, Limited, is
in consequence projected, having been carefully matured
under the auspices of merchants, and, having every facility
already available and in full operation, the Comoany wilt at
once enter upon a business ascertained to be of highly re-
munerative nature, with all the advantages of local know-
ledge and exrerience of the respective toreign markets.
'1 he Company will avoid costly establishments abroad,
which absorb so large a portion of the profits of other bank-
ing establishments, and avail themselves of the agency of
mercantile houses already established.
The Company will grant negotiable or other credits, by and
upon their Foreig,n Agents, to importers of produce in this
country, on the continent of Europe, and in America.
They will make advances ,n the staple manmactures d this
country under documentary bil s, or c•msi,ned to their Agents
abroad, for such periods as may be necessary to realise the
sale of such goods, and on terms favour able to the shippers.
'they will also undertake to execute orders for produce
through their Agents abroad, on terms highly advantageous
to importers.
The Company will further undertake the monetary agency
of Foreign and Colonial Governments, and other constituted
public bodies.
They will receive deposits at their Head Office in London,
at the current rates of interest, and grant loans, through
• their Agents abroad, on apps approved securities.
'the safety of the Merchant Banking Company of London,
Limited, as an investment w• 11 be understood from the na-
ture of the business proposed to be transacted, and the profits
likely to be made by the Company may be in some measure
estimated by the well-known success of several mercantile
banking establishments engaged in the same descrip ,ion of
business. •
No promotion-money will be paid in connexion with this
Company; the pre iminary expenses will be strictly confided
tc actual disbursements.
The Articles of Association can be seen at the Offices of
the Solicitors.
Applications for Shares may be addressed, in the annexed
form, to the Directors ; and copies of the Prospectus may be
obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Company, or at the
Offices of the Brokers and Solicitors ; but no application w.ll
be considered unless a deposit of £1 per Share on the num-
ber of Shares applied for has been paid.

to the policy which he has pursued. On the whol
we shall be much mistaken if the general tone 0
the Emperor's speech is not decidedly peaceful.
The circumstances under which Napoleon will meet
his Chambers this week are more favourable than
on any previous occasion since he came to the
throne. ),The country is prosperous, and its finances,
thanks to the careful supervision of M. Fould, are
healthy. Had it not been for the Mexican expedi-
tion there would have been a considerable surplus.
The current year shows an increase of revenue of
between six and seven millions sterling. But
although the expenditure occasioned by the Mexican
expedition is undoubtedly heavy, still the French
Government are entitled to believe that the Mexi-
cans will in time repay them their present lasses.
It will be easy for the Opposition to cavil with the
foreign policy of the Government, but it will be
difficult for them to show thit a different course
could trive been purgued with equal advantage.
Nothing is easier than to find fault. Whatever the
opponents of his 'Government may say, the Emperor
is fairly entitled to claim credit for having upheld
the honour and advanced the national prosperity of
France.
